Chapter 55 Ling Ruoxi, you dare to overturn the emperor's imperial meal
Hearing that the emperor had arrived, the queen and Ling Ruohui knelt down to greet them, and only waited for the figure to appear before they spoke together: "Concubines, courtiers, see the emperor." ”
"Let's be flat." As soon as Emperor Yuchen entered Fengluan Palace, he looked at Ling Ruoxuan at first sight.
"It turns out that Ruoyi is also there. When did it come. Emperor Yuchen said softly.
Xiahou Jingqi and Ling Yunfei outside threw each other a look and shook their heads helplessly, obviously from Wanquan, the queen summoned Ling Ruoyi into the palace early this morning. He has been absent-minded all the time listening to politics in the Qingxin Palace, and finally hurried over after listening to the recital, and when he saw people, he pretended not to know, really.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers entered the palace this morning."
"As I said, don't be so restrained, just like at home."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Ruoyi still abides by etiquette and does not dare to transgress the rules.
"Queen, let them pass the meal, Ruoyi will also stay and eat together, there will be more people and more lively." Emperor Yuchen sat down alone with a smile, his eyes were still looking at Ling Ruoxi, and Ling Ruohui was uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, you should dine with the queen's mother, and the courtiers will eat by themselves." Ling Ruoyi doesn't want to be a light bulb, but she is not a light bulb, this emperor is distracted, and he doesn't mind Empress E's daughter embracing her left and right, but what she Ling Ruohui wants is the love of a couple for a lifetime, emperor? Forget it.
"Are you afraid that you won't be used to eating the food in the palace? Or if you like something, I'll let them make it for you. Emperor Yuchen continued to curry favor.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to. In this way, you have dinner with the queen mother, and I will wait by the side. Ling Ruoxuan didn't know what to say, and racked her brains to think of such an unreasonable sentence.
"Oh, I see, you're uncomfortable, aren't you? That's easy to say, Jing Qi, Yun Fei, you all come in. ”
When the two people outside the door heard this, they entered the door together and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty." ”
"You're welcome, it's all your own family, the two of you will also have lunch with Ruoyi and the queen today."
"Your Majesty, this ......" Xiahou Jingqi was embarrassed.
"What, that, that. One of you is my brother-in-law and the other is my brother-in-law, Ruoyi is my sister-in-law, and the family sits together to eat and be lively. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two had to bow and salute.
Several people sat down according to their priorities, watching the eunuch walk in with pots of food, one after another the imperial food was like a long dragon going up one plate after another, Ling Ruoxuan couldn't help but scold secretly: "Your uncle, you are really a loser, you can eat so much in one meal, and you are not afraid of dying." He thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, if he really said it, I was afraid that dozens of people in her Ling family would have to put their lives on the line.
Due to the frequent development of pills, Ling Ruohui is extremely familiar with the taste of medicinal materials, how can an ordinary phoenix corn soup have the taste of medicinal materials, Ling Ruohui smiled and said to Emperor Yuchen: "Your Majesty, since you said that you are a family meal, then let the palace people retreat, let's eat that and eat that ourselves, and we are not so restrained, is this good?" ”
"Okay, as long as you like it." Emperor Yuchen looked at Ling Ruoxuan, who rarely spoke to him like this, just asked him to send the palace people back, and he agreed to it without asking too much.
"Everything, all of you stand down, I will call you something." Emperor Yuchen took a sip of his wine glass.
Everyone saluted and retreated, and Emperor Yuchen was about to serve the phoenix corn soup on the upper left, but was stopped by Ling Ruoxuan.
"Slow, Your Majesty, please don't eat yet."
Everyone looked at Ling Ruohui with a puzzled expression, Ling Ruohui took out a silver needle from his sleeve, and scooped a spoonful of phoenix corn soup with a soup spoon, the silver needle penetrated, but it did not turn black.
Emperor Yuchen looked at Ling Ruohui puzzled and said, "Ruoxuan, don't worry, these meals won't be poisonous, you're too sensitive." ”
"Your Majesty, the courtiers do not suspect that the diet is poisonous, but suspect that there are other medicines in the diet that will harm the body of the emperor and queen."
"Oh?" Emperor Yuchen couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, today Ruo Yi took the pulse of Niangniang and found that Niangniang's meal was drugged, so Niangniang has not been able to get pregnant, and among these meals, several dishes have been drugged. If you are brave, may I ask if the emperor likes to drink this phoenix corn soup very much? ”
"yes, I'm the favorite drinker."
"That's it, can the emperor drink this soup from other mothers? Or does it taste different? ”
"No, most of them only drink this soup in the queen's palace, and only Concubine Liu Shu drinks it in other concubines."
"That Ruoyi understands, there are not many concubines in the palace at present, and the more favored ones are the queen, Li Guifei, and Liu Shufei, and at present, only Li Guifei has a daughter, but the queen and Liu Shufei have no children. So, naturally, the problem lies in this soup. ”
"This soup?" Emperor Yuchen said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, the courtiers will prove it to the emperor." After that, he took out a small white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, took out some white powder from it, sprinkled the powder in his bowl, filled a spoonful of phoenix corn soup, and probed it with a silver needle again, but the silver needle was coated with a faint layer of pink.
"This ......, what's going on? Could it be that someone is trying to poison me? ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I just said that this soup is non-toxic, it's just that someone mixed earth dragon powder with this soup."
"Earth Dragon?" Several people shouted in unison.
"Actually, the earth dragon is an earthworm, this is a medicinal herb, if the emperor takes this soup, then if the emperor stays in the queen's palace at night, the queen will definitely not be pregnant, because that person is still mixed with contraceptive drugs in other meals just in case."
Bang, Emperor Yuchen slapped heavily on the table. said angrily: "Then the imperial doctor can't find out?" ”
"Because the emperor doesn't take it every day, and the amount of medicine is also very light every time, it won't damage the emperor's dragon body."
"We must find out who is making trouble in this matter, otherwise I will not cut off my children and grandchildren. Jingqi and Yunfei, the two of you have to investigate this matter secretly, and if you have a clue, you will report it to me quickly. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two of them stood up and gave their hands to the command.
"Then ...... the dishes on this table," Emperor Yuchen looked at the food on the table, and he really had no appetite to eat.
"Your Majesty, then let's put on a show, don't let them find out, and the courtiers will go to the small kitchen to cook you a few side dishes in a while, okay?"
"Good. So how is this play played? "Emperor Yuchen is embarrassed.
Ling Ruoqi lowered her head and pondered for a moment, lifted the table with both hands, and several dishes broke in response, and then gave Xiahou Jingqi a look, Xiahou Jingqi replied with a smile and immediately cooperated: "Bold Ling Ruoyi, he is so presumptuous and does not take the emperor seriously." You still dare to eat with the emperor, is this your lady's upbringing? ”
"You have too much to do, the emperor said, I can eat whatever I like, and you have to take care of it." Ling Ruoyi crossed her hands on her hips, like a shrew.
"You, you're still reasonable, look at the robbery, the table is over, how can you eat." Xiahou Jingqi also cooperated very realistically, and the three people in the room and the eunuchs and palace maids who dared to come when they heard the sound were stunned.
Everyone muttered one after another, they all knew that this prime minister's daughter was a talented woman, how could she be like a shrew in the market, quarreling and shouting with her cousin in front of the emperor, it was really jaw-dropping.
"Okay, stop arguing." Emperor Yuchen also played the role of peacemaker in a timely manner.
"Your Majesty, she ......" Xiahou Jingqi still looked unhappy, if it is in modern times, it is guaranteed that you can mix with some kind of actor or something, this quarrel posture looks no worse than a woman.
"Okay, Ruo Yi is a girl, you have to let her have some, so let's go to the small kitchen to make some dishes to eat in a while, I really want her to cook." Then he said to Wan Quan, who was stunned outside the door: "Wan Quan, let them all clean up." Then he waved his hand and sent all the palace people down.
When everyone walked away, several people in the room laughed, and Emperor Yuchen looked at Ling Ruohui with a smile and said: "I said Ruoyi, your appearance just now was really shocking, you are so elegant on weekdays, I didn't expect to play the role of a market shrew really looks good." ”
"Your Majesty, you have to cooperate with your cousin, otherwise how can I sing my play."
"Then, I ...... with the queen's body," Emperor Yuchen was a little embarrassed.
Ling Ruohui guessed Emperor Yuchen's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will stay in the palace these days to recuperate for the emperor and queen, and in terms of meals, the emperor can issue an order saying that because Ruohui knocked over the imperial meal, as punishment, Ruohui will be punished for being in charge of the meals in the queen's palace for a period of time." That way, there won't be anyone waiting for the drug. ”
"Eun, okay, it's just going to be hard for you."
"It's not hard, the emperor can rest assured. But the emperor must live with the queen during this time. ”
"This is natural, the queen is my wife, and she should accompany the queen more." Emperor Yuchen took the empress's hand and said softly.
In fact, Emperor Yuchen himself knows that there are so many concubines, although there are not many people who favor him, but as the emperor, he can't be dedicated, and he shouldn't be dedicated, and most of the emperor's marriages are also political means. How much true love can there be, maybe the only one who really loves himself is the queen, thinking of the place where he first ascended the throne before, there was a typhoid fever, and the queen was by his side to take care of him sleeplessly, and over the years, there are Li Guifei, Liu Shufei and many other ladies around him, and he really owes the queen too much.
Ling Ruofei looked at the eyes of the two, full of happiness, and consciously withdrew, while Xiahou Jingqi and Ling Yunfei also withdrew, helping Ling Ruofei cook in the kitchen together.
"Cousin, Yunfei, you all go out, it's enough for Mengchun and Mu'er to be here, you don't know how to cook, it's only in the way here." Ling Ruoxuan drove the two of them.
Xiahou Jingqi and Ling Yunfei knew that they couldn't help, so they had to stand outside the kitchen and watch, chatting a few words from time to time.
After a while, a few delicate and delicious dishes were ready, Xiahou Jingqi and Ling Yunfei outside the door had already smelled the fragrance of the dishes, and when they heard Ling Ruoyi's voice, they helped them slowly walk to the main hall with the dishes......
