Chapter 59: The Lotus Plate
"Brother, if you have a bad heart, you don't know how many bad things you have said about us with the prince, no wonder the prince has ignored me recently." Qingluan gritted his teeth and hated to swallow Ruosu raw.
Qingcheng clasped his hands: "This revenge must be avenged." ”
Hongyu whispered: "If you want revenge, I have a way." ”
"What's the solution?" The brother and sister spoke in unison.
Hongyu raised his eyebrows and said: "If Lan Xiaoqiu made a big disrespectful dish at the emperor's birthday banquet, and the masterminds behind this scene are Ruo Su and Fang Hao, how can this cadre get out of it in front of everyone's eyes?" ”
Seeing the two of them looking at themselves together: "I have a way, but I need the internal response in the palace, as long as you find the internal response, I can help you get rid of these big troubles." ”
At this time, Lan Xiaoqiu did not feel in danger, she and Ruosu were doing things that felt important.
If the marriage date is approaching, the day of revenge is getting closer and closer, according to the rules of the Qi Dynasty, men and women before the big wedding should see each other less, Mrs. Fang arranged at home and commanded her subordinates: "Our family is married to the county lord, how can you only hang a few lanterns, and then buy them." ”
"And how can the bride's wedding dress be made of only a few meters of silk? Add another meter, and embroider the silk with gold thread. ”
Old Man Fang held his cane, closed his eyes to recuperate, and Mrs. Fang seemed to sigh with relief: "Fang Xu will be the marshal's son-in-law in the future, that is the husband of the county lord, and the emperor's relatives." ”
Master Fang didn't squeak, and Mrs. Fang continued to sigh: "I just hope that this wedding will go smoothly and there will be no mistakes." ”
Master Fang coughed twice: "As long as you don't make a mistake, it's fine." ”
Mrs. Fang secretly glanced at Master Fang, and whispered: "I don't know what Fang Hao thinks, don't look calm, you can have any more temperament in your heart." ”
"Fang Hao won't ruin his brother's wedding." Master Fang is very sure of Fang Hao's character.
Mrs. Fang glanced at Master Fang again, and muttered in a tone that no one could hear, "What do you know." ”
*********************************************
The emperor's birthday, the whole country celebrates, especially in the capital, in addition to being heavily guarded, more is waiting for the joy of the emperor's order to reduce taxes, and the people are also wearing red and green, which is comparable to the joy of the New Year's Festival.
Lan Xiaoqiu was appointed by the emperor to enter the imperial dining room to prepare, each cook was not disappointed because he could only cook one dish, but even the assistant chef felt very honored, there were no less than 100 cooks who participated in this feast, and Lan Xiaoqiu also had a helping chef by his side, he was secretly arranged by Qingcheng.
And Fang Hao, who was reading a book at home, heard a report from his subordinates: "Young Master, there is a masked man outside who said that he is your old acquaintance, and he is looking for you with something important." ”
Fang Hao put down the book, it seemed that few people would come to Fang Mansion to find him, and with curiosity, Fang Hao saw Li Da waiting at the door.
Li Da grabbed Fang Hao: "Lan Xiaoqiu is going to have an accident, you go and save her." ”
"Didn't she enter the palace to prepare a birthday banquet for the emperor? Don't? Fang Hao seemed to have thought of something.
After listening to Li Da whispering a few words to Fang Hao, he jumped on the wall and flew away.
Fang Hao hurriedly left, but Fang Xu behind him found something strange, he looked at and followed Fang Hao.
Fang Hao really came to the palace, but she didn't go to Lan Xiaoqiu, because it was too late now.
Fang Hao went to find Qixuan.
Qi Xuan was opening his arms to let the palace people change his clothes, Fang Hao said to Qi Xuan: "There are people in the palace who want to harm Lan Xiaoqiu, and I hope that the prince will help Lan Xiaoqiu get through the difficulties." ”
"Oh?" Qi Xuan ordered his subordinates to leave, and Fang Hao said: "It is said that the dish made by Lan Xiaoqiu this time is jade fish beads. ”
"Emerald Fish Beads? It's a lost famous dish, what's the problem? Qi Xuan asked.
"The queen's name is Yuzhu." Fang Hao wanted to speak and stopped.
Qixuan was still unclear, and Fang Hao said: "Someone wants to take this opportunity to instigate the queen's misunderstanding of Lan Xiaoqiu. ”
"The queen mother is not such a picky person, don't worry." Qixuan felt that it was just that the tone was different, how could there be any problem.
"But I heard that the plate chosen by Lan Xiaoqiu was the Liao Zhen lotus plate given to Ruosu by the emperor back then." Fang Hao said, Qi Xuan was also stunned for a moment, because the porcelain fired in the Liao kiln of the Qi Dynasty was very valuable, plus the lotus-shaped plate, so this is a treasure. This feast also has very strict requirements for utensils, but it is usually prepared by the chef himself, and Ruosu took out the lotus plate that he had treasured for many years and let her use it to participate in the feast in order to make Lan Xiaoqiu better.
There is no problem with all this, the most problematic thing is that this Liao is a woman. In the Qi Dynasty, women couldn't open a kiln factory and couldn't burn a kiln, but this Liao family was originally surnamed Wu, and married the Liao family called Liao Wu. Liao Peirong, the five generations of the Liao family, that is, the husband of the Liao Wu family, died not long after the Liao Wu family passed the door, this Liao Wu not only did not remarry, but also disguised herself as a man to enter the kiln factory to burn the kiln, from the layman who did not know how to burn the kiln became one of the best kiln masters in the Qi Dynasty, although it was a woman, it was better than a man, and even a rare porcelain could be fired, which was a sensation.
Liao Wu's family burned for 20 years, and this widow also guarded for 20 years, and after 20 years, the emperor gave her the name Liao Zhen, and since then Liao Zhen has become a well-known virgin. If Liao Zhen lotus plate is added to the jade fish beads, if there is a heart, it will definitely instigate one or two, needless to say anything else, all that can be thought of is to curse the queen to be widowed, and the queen is widowed, isn't that to curse the emperor to die? And today is the emperor's birthday banquet, such an unlucky thing, how can the emperor spare it.
Qi Xuan thought about it and immediately asked someone to take the rich Ruyi plate in his womb and instructed his subordinates: "Send it to Lan Xiaoqiu immediately." ”
Fang Hao thought for a while and said, "I don't know if the prince can let the grass people make up as their father-in-law and replace Lan Xiaoqiu, I'm just afraid that Lan Xiaoqiu doesn't know anything about the world at all, I'm afraid she will obstruct it." ”
It just so happened that the Changeable Face Jun was also there, so he changed Fang Hao's appearance: "Don't let people see it, if someone finds out that you sneaked into the imperial dining room, I'm afraid you can't say it clearly." At such a critical juncture, you have to be cautious. ”
Fang Hao was slightly put on makeup by the Variety Face Jun, but his face became as white as paper and his lips were as red as cherry blossoms.
For the sake of Lan Xiaoqiu, Fang Hao can only be a mother.
After two levels of examination of the eunuch token, Fang Hao entered the imperial dining room, and among the busy figures in the imperial dining room, there was Lan Xiaoqiu, but Fang Hao found that the assistant chef beside Lan Xiaoqiu always followed her closely.
Fang Hao pretended to inspect and slowly moved to Lan Xiaoqiu's side.
"Lan Xiaoqiu." Fang Hao called softly, trying not to attract the attention of the people next to him.
Fang Hao took advantage of Lan Xiaoqiu's busyness and was about to take out the plate, but Lan Xiaoqiu somehow didn't exist when Fang Hao didn't exist. Seeing Lan Xiaoqiu passing by him, he also carried a pot of soup: "Okay, bring the plate." ”
"Lan Xiaoqiu, no." Fang Hao saw that the jade fish beads were about to be poured into the lotus plate, Lan Xiaoqiu stared at Fang Hao, Fang Hao was delighted, and told her with the shape of his lips - no.
I saw Lan Xiaoqiu frowning and said, "This father-in-law, please let me go, otherwise I will burn you." ”
Fang Hao saw that Lan Xiaoqiu really couldn't recognize himself, he didn't know whether to sigh at the makeup skills of the Hundred Changing Face Jun, if Fang Hao, a visitor from outside the palace, was discovered by the people in the imperial dining room, Fang Hao would definitely be arrested as an assassin, and once something happened to the imperial dining room, Fang Hao's crime would not be light.
Therefore, Fang Hao was in a hurry, so he raised his hand and smashed the lotus plate that was holding the bowl and preparing to receive the soup.
Lan Xiaoqiu was stunned to witness the shattering of the lotus plate with the pot, she began to tremble, she stared at the eunuch in front of her, and still didn't recognize Fang Hao.
Fang Hao hurriedly pretended not to pay for: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu wanted to die: "You can't take the pot to the emperor to taste, right?" You're going to have to pay me. ”
Fang Hao thought to himself: Lan Xiaoqiu, it's okay, you didn't have the generosity to arrest me to relieve your hatred, but fortunately you said this.
Fang Hao hurriedly raised the plate formally: "I also have one, it's no worse than your plate, it's a reward from the prince, just use this." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu didn't seem to expect to meet such a eunuch who knew his mistakes and recognized them, in her eyes, her father-in-law was calculating, the orchid pointed at her, rolled her eyes, and loved whoever she loved.
Lan Xiaoqiu finally saw who the person was, only to see Fang Hao pressing his fingers on his red lips, his eyes rolling, Lan Xiaoqiu seemed to have realized something, so he hugged his arms and said, "Forget it, my father-in-law will make up for it, so let's use this plate first." ”
Fang Hao saw that it was going well, so he left happily, but some people recognized him among the cooks: "He seems to be very familiar, it seems that he has seen it somewhere, but he can't remember it." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu brought up the jade fish beads, everyone smelled the aroma, and the emperor also intended to mention this dish, but said: "This dish is the long-lost jade fish beads?" ”
"Exactly." Lan Xiaoqiu gave a gift.
At this time, a minister came out: "This dish cannot be served." ”
This minister is a civil official, and he is in a second-class position, and the emperor and everyone turned their heads to look at him: "Oh? Why not? ”
Xu is minister didn't see it clearly, and when he got closer, he found that Lan Xiaoqiu was not using a lotus plate, and at this time the prince knew that this person must be the one who wanted to frame Lan Xiaoqiu, and he thought that he would succeed, but before he could take a closer look at the plate, he walked out, and when he saw the plate, he realized that he had exposed his stuffing.
Seeing that the minister was hesitant, he heard the queen say: "Why not?" ”
The minister arched his hand: "Listen, I heard that the emperor has itchy skin recently, and I'm afraid that eating fresh fish will aggravate the itching." ”
The prince said to himself: "Count your brain spinning quickly. ”
I only heard the emperor laughing: "Aiqing is too worried, the itchy syndrome has already been cured, and it will not be in the way, otherwise the imperial doctor would have ordered it a long time ago." ”
"Wechen is also worried that the emperor will feel uncomfortable, in this case, it is Wechen who has said a lot, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." The minister was already frightened into a cold sweat, so he hurriedly retreated.
The crown prince has already set his sights on this minister, even if it is not framed by this article and Erpin, he must know who wants to harm Lan Xiaoqiu.
Now, however, no one knows how shocking it will be.
