The dishes on the table were withdrawn and re-served, both in taste and appearance, several degrees higher than just now, from which it can be seen that the imperial dining room has a strong desire to survive.

This time, Mingxi was stared at and ate a lot.

The child next to her eats whatever she eats, and he doesn't eat if she doesn't eat.

Shen Hanshen was not proficient in picking up a piece of green vegetables and putting it into Mingxi's bowl, looking serious as if he was doing a very important thing.

Watching Ming Xi eat the dishes he sandwiched, Shen Han Shen showed a satisfied expression.

The food was almost the same, and the dishes were taken down.

Fruit was placed on the table again.

Shen Hanshen picked up an orange and peeled it, looking to the side, "How did you see that those young ladies of the family were mixed with assassins?" ”

"They're too obvious."

is not nervous at all, and is incompatible with the real family ladies around him, which can be seen at a glance.

Mingxi ate a little, lying in the chair with his chin on his lean, looking white and soft, people couldn't help but want to touch it.

Shen Hanshen pinched his fingers and paused before saying, "What if I really want to choose a concubine?" ”

Mingxi tilted his head and curled his eyebrows with a smile, "This is not your way of acting. ”

Shen Hanshen felt that he had been fed a piece of sugar, and his heart was sweet.

It's really nice to be trusted without hesitation.

Indeed, his choice of a concubine was just an excuse to lure out the rats lurking in the court.

This time at this moment, it is the name of Liu Shangshu's family, isn't the mouse caught?

He thought that she would be angry when Mingxi knew about his choice of concubine, but he didn't expect that she not only didn't get angry, but also came to help him.

Suddenly, Shen Hanshen felt his chest pounding.

……

Because of the assassin incident, Liu Shangshu's vein was uprooted.

The court was all panicked because of this, some people knew it, and some people didn't know why, and in an instant, the situation was turbulent and undercurrent.

On this day, Shen Hanshen went to court.

Mingxi lay down and read a book alone.

Yue Tao had already moved from Mohuan Hall to Huaxiao Palace, and she was still a little unaccustomed to it at first, afraid that the tyrant would just be on a whim, and it wouldn't be long before her true form would be revealed.

But after a few days, Yue Tao found that His Majesty did not seem to be as terrible as rumored, especially in front of the princess, which was almost the same as what she heard in other palaces.

Gradually, Yuetao got used to it, and soon settled down with the encounter.

"Princess, try this osmanthus cake, the slave maid just learned it from Master Xu!"

Chef Xu, the top imperial chef in the imperial dining room, has superb cooking skills.

Yuetao is learning cooking skills with him, and she cooks for Mingxi every day.

Fragrant pastries were placed on the table, and the air seemed to be filled with a fragrance.

Mingxi ate a piece and looked approving, "Well, it's delicious." ”

"If the princess likes it, eat more!" Hearing Ming Xi praise herself, Yue Tao was very happy.

At this time, a palace maid walked in, holding a small jade cup in her hand, and a trace of white mist floated out of it.

The palace maid came over and saluted Mingxi, "See Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu." ”

Yue Tao straightened up and raised her posture, "Well, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

The palace maid replied respectfully: "Back to Niangniang, it is the soup boiled by Mama Xu." ”

Mingxi closed the book and his eyes fell on the soup cup, "Does His Majesty drink this soup every day?" ”

"Yes."

"Bring it over to me and I'll take a look."

The palace maid hesitated for a moment, brought the soup to Ming Xi, and just when Ming Xi was about to open the lid, she was stopped by the palace maid, "Niangniang, Your Majesty's favorite soup boiled by Mama Xu, unveiling it halfway will affect the taste of the soup, if Niang Niang wants to see it, it is better to wait for His Majesty to come back and uncover it." ”

Yuetao: "Presumptuous! It's just a cup of soup, Your Highness can watch it if you want! ”

The palace maid's eyes were full of embarrassment, and Mama said that this soup was not allowed to be seen by others......

Ming Xi glanced at the palace maid and directly opened the lid, and in an instant, a rich fragrance filled the entire palace.

Yue Tao snorted, "It's so fragrant, this soup is so fragrant, I'll go and learn how to cook it with Mama Xu for the princess when I have time!" ”

Mingxi looked at the soup and waved his hand to knock over the cup, spilling the soup on the ground.

"This thing isn't a good thing, don't learn it."

Although Yue Tao was puzzled, she still nodded, what the princess said was right!

The palace maid was startled by Mingxi's actions, gritted her teeth, angry and afraid, "This is the soup made by Mama Xu!" Your Majesty's favorite drink! ”

Yue Tao stepped forward and slapped the palace maid in the face, "Presumptuous!" Dare to be disrespectful to the princess! ”

The palace maid covered her beaten face, with a hateful expression, "Mama Xu is an old man who has always followed Your Majesty, and she is quite close to Your Majesty on weekdays, so Niangniang should worry about herself first." ”

This attitude can be said to be very disrespectful.

The moon is peachy, it's just a grandmother? She can't go to heaven!

Ming Xi glanced at the palace maid, and her smiling eyes made the palace maid can't help but remember the scene when Ming Xi interrogated people last time, and couldn't help but shudder.

"If you commit the following offenses, you will be dealt with according to the palace rules."

The palace maid's eyes widened in shock, she was really scared now, and quickly knelt on the ground, "Niangniang spare her life!" The slave knows that she is wrong! Mother's life—"

The guards outside walked in and dragged the palace maid away forcefully.

"Moon Peach." Mingxi glanced at the sky, it was still early for Shen Han to come back, "Go and call Mama Xu." ”

Yuetao was ordered to go out, and after a while, she came back with an old woman with gray hair.

As soon as Mama Xu came in, she saw the soup cup sprinkled on the ground, rolled her eyes, and leaned over to salute, "See Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu." ”

Mingxi looked at Mama Xu, her eyebrows were kind, and she looked like a good elder.

Without waiting for Mingxi to speak, Mama Xu raised her waist and talked to Mingxi affectionately, "Your Majesty can have Niangniang by your side, the old slave is deeply pleased, and the old slave can see that Niangniang is a very good girl." ”

After speaking, he directly regarded himself as an elder close to Shen Hanshen.

"Your Majesty has been lonely since childhood, and it is not easy to sit on the position above these 10,000 people, and it is also in dire straits every day, and there are many dangers, so I want to be more considerate of Your Majesty's difficulties."

Mingxi asked Yuetao to move a stool for Mama Xu and asked Mama Xu to sit down and say.

Mama Xu looked at Mingxi's eyes a little kinder.

In Mama Xu's narration, Shen Hanshen lost her parents since she was a child, and she brought Shen Hanshen to grow up.

The Shen family was a meritorious family in the previous dynasty, and their ancestors had made great contributions to the great cause for generations, and as their prestige became greater and greater, even to the point of high merit, it naturally attracted the suspicion of the emperor.

The Shen family was disposed of by the emperor in this way, and the methods were extremely cruel, except for the young Shen Hanshen, who escaped, the death of the dead, the distribution of the distribution, the huge family, just fell apart like this.

Shen Hanshen witnessed the tragic death of his father and mother, completely hated the emperor, and vowed to avenge the unjust death of his parents' family.

With extraordinary perseverance and talent, Shen Hanshen sat all the way to the position of prime minister, and after years of planning, he overthrew the Daye Dynasty and completely replaced it.

The revenge of destroying the door, Shen Han took revenge.

And he became a tyrant in the mouths of the people.

Mama Xu recounted Shen Hanshen's previous experience in a distressed tone throughout the whole process, and looked at Ming Xi with relief, as if she was really an old servant who felt sorry for the young master.

Mingxi waited for her to finish speaking, and said with a smile, "Has Mama Xu heard of 'Flying Flower'?" ”

As soon as the word 'Flying Flower' came out, Mama Xu's face changed obviously, her body shook, she almost didn't sit still, and she smiled reluctantly, "What Niangniang is saying, the old slave can't understand." ”

Mingxi: "'Flying Flower' is a drug produced in the Western Regions, and long-term use will make people irritable, unable to control their emotions, and finally go crazy out of control. ”

Every time Ming Xi said the effect of a flying flower, Mama Xu's face turned pale, and finally her entire forehead was covered with sweat.

Ming Xi pointed to the soup that was almost dried on the ground, a smile spread on his slightly raised lips, and his voice became softer, "Mama Xu, can you explain why there are 'flying flowers' in the soup you make for Your Majesty every day?" ”

Mama Xu stood up violently, and the round stool she was sitting on was knocked over as she got up, rolling on the ground a few times.

Mama Xu knelt on the ground, her upper body was close to the ground, and her voice came from below, "Niangniang Mingjian!" The old slave doesn't know what 'flying flowers' are! The old slave is just making soup for His Majesty! Your Majesty's favorite drink is the soup made by the old slave! ”
