Chapter Thirty-Seven: Your Majesty, Borrow Your Chrysostom

Emperor Yuchen looked up, only to see that the long-awaited figure finally appeared in his sight, King Qi and King Rui also looked at the door, only to see that she was wearing a peacock green pinched teeth trimmed yellow rose pattern plain silk collar placket, mopping the floor silver-white floral satin skirt, wearing a concubine-colored embroidery trimmed gold branch line Ye Yunjin. Neat hair, the hair is chic and chic, the light and slow cloud temples are inserted in the silk phoenix-shaped green jade phoenix crown, the skin is like clotted fat on the hand wearing a red gold twisted silk bracelet, the waist is tied with soft silk, there is a begonia gold silk pattern sachet hanging on it, and the feet are wearing patterned thin-soled shoes, the whole person is beautiful and vulgar.

"The courtiers see the emperor." Ling Ruoyi stepped forward to greet Emperor Yuchen.

"Excuse me, flat. You're welcome. Emperor Yuchen smiled and said softly.

"The little girl has seen two princes." Turning his head and facing King Qi Rui, he said. King Rui didn't think anything, but King Qi felt a little awkward, and when he met with Yi'er, he didn't see anything like this.

"No courtesy." King Rui and King Qi said in unison.

Emperor Yuchen couldn't bear it anymore, looking at the delicacies on the table, everyone looked at Emperor Yuchen, although he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he was the emperor, who moved him if he didn't move the chopsticks. Emperor Yuchen first sandwiched a piece of squirrel osmanthus fish and chewed it in his mouth, which was soft and delicious, sweet and sour. "Let's eat together, you're welcome." After the Buddha jumped over the wall and came up, where did Emperor Yuchen still have a bit of the image of an emperor, stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and waited for everything, he directly started to eat a bowl of three or five bites, the second bowl, the third bowl, and he couldn't eat it anymore, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks, sat on the chair with his buttocks, and stroked his bulging belly.

Seventy percent of the dishes on the table were eaten by Emperor Yuchen, and the others were basically watching him eat, and the few maids serving in the restaurant were also stunned, thinking in their hearts, Emperor Yuchen had been hungry for a few days, he was the emperor, and all the food in the world was in the palace, how to eat the dishes made by her young lady was so disregarding the image.

King Rui looked at Emperor Yuchen's appearance, his face was stinky like a black god. Emperor Yuchen didn't take it seriously at all, and ignored King Rui's expression.

King Qi turned his head to look at Ling Ruoxuan beside him and said softly: "Yi'er, you must not have eaten enough, you have been busy at noon, but you want to be hungry, I will accompany you to eat something good outside in a while, make up for it." The tone was gentle, which made people get goosebumps when they heard it.

Emperor Yuchen said with an embarrassed face: "Miss Ling's cooking skills are excellent, it is better than what my imperial chef makes, whatever reward you want, I will give it to you, I will come back tomorrow, I must make some delicious food for me." While speaking, Emperor Yuchen kept smashing his mouth.

When Ling Xiang heard this, the black lines on his head were already known all over the city, and he would come again tomorrow, wouldn't that push Ling Mansion to the cusp. Don't let the emperor come, isn't it that those villains made an excuse to say that the Ling family didn't respect the emperor, and if they didn't do it, they would be beheaded all over the house, it seems that the emperor would have to come up, presumably those imperial historians would also strongly recommend the emperor's faults. made up his mind and hurriedly knelt down and said, "It is the honor of the old minister that the emperor can come, how dare the little female chef compare with the imperial meal, it is about that the emperor is tired of eating, so he feels delicious when he eats these coarse tea and light rice." ”

King Rui raised his eyebrows, sneered, and slowly spoke: "Ling Xiang, is this another excuse for not wanting to receive the imperial brother?" Or do you think it's good to receive the royal brother, and you're not happy to receive the king? ”

God, this Rui Wang is really insidious, it is clear that he is making trouble for the Ling family, saying that he does not want to receive the emperor is undoubtedly a capital crime, and saying that he does not want to receive the prince, then I am afraid that he will also be charged with disrespecting the prince. How can she Ling Ruohui be afraid of you, uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it, you killed the real Ling Ruohui by withdrawing from the marriage that day, although the Golden Palace's request to withdraw from the marriage has made you lose face, but she feels that it is particularly insufficient. There was an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly, "It is an honor for King Rui to come to Ling Mansion, but the prince is accompanying the emperor this time, and the little girl's family banquet is also specially made to entertain the emperor. After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel funny, and they all understood that Miss Ling was talking about serving tea to guests, but she really didn't give King Rui any face.

King Rui suddenly looked angry, and was just about to open his mouth to fight back, when King Qi said at the right time, "Brother Rui Wang, how can you be a man and a little woman, this king thinks that what Miss Ling said is also good, originally Miss Ling was almost the princess of Rui, but who let Brother Rui make a mistake for Mingzhu as a fish." If Brother Rui came to Ling Mansion as a guest for no reason, wouldn't it make people criticize? Therefore, the younger brother didn't think there was anything wrong with what Miss Ling said. Brother Huang, you say yes, right? King Qi looked at Emperor Yuchen with a smile.

Emperor Yuchen had already seen Ling Ruohui in the Jinluan Palace, and he also had the heart to be included in the harem as a concubine, but he just lacked an opportunity, and of course he would favor Ling Ruohui in everything.

At this time, Aunt Xiao came with Ling Hanyan dressed up, the key is that Aunt Xiao actually carried a phoenix on her head with wings spread on six sides, inlaid with jade inlaid with seven treasures, and the gold step was shaking, others didn't know, but she Ling Ruoyi knew it. This golden step shake was a dowry given by the queen mother back then, and Ling Hanyan carried a phoenix tail hairpin with gold beads inlaid with green auspicious clouds, and the appearance of this mother and daughter made Ling Xiang very angry. But the person has already stepped over, and it is difficult to say anything.

"The courtiers and their little daughters have seen the emperor and the two princes with smoke." Aunt Xiao said softly. Ling Hanyan's eyes looked at Emperor Yuchen in the upper seat, the domineering and majestic of the king, and the two princes were also dragons and phoenixes among people. Coming in such a costume today, even if it can't attract the attention of the emperor, it's not bad to be a prince's concubine, even if it's a side concubine.

"The ...... you wear on your head" Emperor Yuchen recognized the two steps at a glance, when the emperor's grandmother was sick, it was Lingxiang's wife Xiahou Aoxue who entered the palace to cure the queen mother, and the phoenix spread its wings on six sides and was inlaid with jade inlaid with seven treasures and bright gold, but the queen mother ordered the internal affairs government to specially build, the world for this one, but why did it wear it on the head of this aunt, and the cuixiangyun inlay gold beaded phoenix tail hairpin is the token of his mother's marriage with Xiahou Aoxue when he married Jinlan, and he will never give it away at will, even if he sends it, it can only be his own daughter, What's more, Mrs. Ling Xiang died early.

When Aunt Xiao heard that Emperor Yuchen was very interested in the step shake on her head, she smiled and said, "This step shake is a courtier's ......."

Ling Ruoxuan saw that Aunt Xiao was showing off, how could she let her get her wish, and directly interrupted: "Your Majesty, these two steps are the relics of the courtier's daughter and the first mother, the first mother died early, and all the dowries of the mother are managed by Aunt Xiao. Ling Ruoyi also deliberately said that the management on behalf of him was very serious, and King Qi was relieved when he heard it, and he and Ling Ruohui knew each other's intentions with a glance.

"Brother Huang, didn't you just say that you were going to give Miss Ling a reward?" King Qi smiled and said to Emperor Yuchen.

"Yes, but what should I reward Miss Ling?" Emperor Yuchen was a little embarrassed.

"Brother Huang, according to what the younger brother has seen, Miss Ling has reached the age of peace, it is better to let Aunt Xiao hand over all the relics of Miss Ling's late mother to Miss Ling to take care of herself."

Emperor Yuchen is so wise, he has long heard of the Xiangfu aunt's bullying of his children, as the emperor, he is not short of dowry, if Ling Ruohui likes it, the treasures in the palace are at her disposal, and he understands the meaning of King Qi, so he can use this as an excuse to help Ling Ruohui take back the dowry of his deceased mother.

"What Brother Qi said is yes, Miss Ling is already in her prime, and getting married is just around the corner, so it's better to learn to take care of the trivial affairs at home first." After finishing speaking, he looked at Ling Ruoyi and said with a smile: "Ling Ruohui stepped forward to listen to the commandment." ”

Ling Ruoyi hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Ling Ruohui took the order." ”

"Ling Ruoyi, the daughter of the Ling family, has reached the age of Jilu, she should learn family cooking in time, Mrs. Ling Xiang died early, and the dowry has been taken care of by the aunt in the house, today I issued an edict, and the aunt of the Xiangfu will immediately return the inheritance of the mother of the Xiangfu to Ling Ruoyi, otherwise she will be punished for resisting the decree."

"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Ling Ruoyi hurriedly thanked Emperor Yuchen, and Aunt Xiao on the side suddenly collapsed to the ground, thinking that she could show off and attract the emperor's attention, but she didn't expect that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, but would return the dowry that was hard to come by. Thinking of this, my teeth chattered.

After Ling Ruoxuan thanked Emperor Yuchen, he said: "Mama Qian, you go to my room and take out the account book of my mother's dowry, and give me a lot of my mother's dowry from Lanyuexuan back to Fengyin Pavilion. ”

"Yes, the old slave will send someone to do it." Mama Qian knew that her young lady had the ability to take back the dowry from her aunt.

"Miss, what about Mu'er." Mu'er on the side began to get anxious.

"Haha, Mu'er is in a hurry, you guys, don't be lazy. Mu'er, you and Mengchun and Sixia stared at every item they moved out, and they carefully checked it three times for me, and then asked Mama Qian to count and put it in, Panqiu, Drunken Winter, you look at the items they moved in, don't touch it and lose it. ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey." A few people responded and went down, and began to move things outside, although Aunt Xiao was not happy, but it was a holy decree, how dare she disobey, there was actually a dowry account book for comparison, this Ling Ruohui was really hateful. Aunt Xiao clenched her fists and secretly swore not to avenge this and swear not to be a person.

"Brother Huang, we have eaten Miss Ling's food, of course we have to make some efforts, why don't we let the courtiers help Miss Ling check the amount of this property, lest someone have malicious intentions and greed, what does Brother Huang think?"

"Okay, Brother Qi Wang, let's go." After finishing speaking, King Qi walked to Aunt Xiao's side with a smile and said coldly: "Aunt Xiao and Second Miss, you actually dare to steal the royal family's things, do you know that this phoenix spreads its wings and is inlaid with jade on six sides, and the seven treasures are inlaid with seven treasures, and the phoenix tail hairpin with gold beads is the royal family's thing. As soon as the words came out, Aunt Xiao and Ling Hanyan fainted on the ground unconscious, and King Qi ignored them and walked to the courtyard alone to help Mama Qian count the items.

These things did not escape Emperor Yuchen's eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he already had a plan in his heart......
