Chapter 20 Shaoqing
It had rained for the past two days, and it was hot and dry, and the humidity was steaming. There is a little sunshine today, and the gentle breeze is blowing, which makes people feel a little sober.
When the time came, the concubines of the palace took their seats one after another, and the first shadow puppet show had begun.
At noon, the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen appeared.
"Welcome to the Emperor! Welcome to the Queen Mother! Queen Mother! ”
Emperor Tianmo's majestic expression was filled with a hint of joy, and he raised his hand and said, "Everyone take a seat, the state banquet is also a family banquet, so there is no need to be polite." ”
After receiving the emperor's orders, everyone gradually relaxed from restraint, but they didn't dare to speak too loudly, lest trouble come out of their mouths.
Qin Chu carefully looked at Emperor Tianmo sitting on the dragon chair, and then stared at Feng Xie's face, sure enough, it was father and son, the eyebrows all looked like replicas, sharp swords, straight nose bridges, and thin lips were all carved out of a mold.
Staring like this, Feng Xie and Qin Chu accidentally looked at each other, and their eyes reflected each other, Qin Chu said secretly: What is he going to do. No, I'm going to act again.
And Feng Xie was also secretly thinking in her heart at this time: This woman is not at ease at all, her eyes are looking at the emperor directly, and then staring at me, she is trying to disturb the chickens and dogs.
Subsequently, the two quickly looked away and ate awkwardly. Just as he was about to reach out to pick assorted tofu, Qin Chu's eyes lit up, there was actually beer duck in this dynasty.
When she was happy to eat, the emperor greeted Ye Shixuan's father, and she knew that the man who had a grudge against Ma Tong was actually Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and his father was Dali Temple Qing who was preparing to retire.
If you want to press the real power, it can be higher than Feng Xie, and further, if she really needs to prepare a way out, she must need Feng Xie's help, and one more ally is like talking nonsense by herself, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is important to save her life.
Qin Chu thought and shook his head slightly. Feng Xie, who was silently paying attention to the side, didn't quite understand her thoughts, and it was hard not to feel uncomfortable with "I have something on my mind, I want to do something" on her face.
The banquet did not end until mid-afternoon. As for the flower viewing in the imperial garden at the back, Qin Chu refused without thinking about it, enjoying the hair flowers during the lunch break, and the consumption of food can't be so eliminated, so he pulled Feng Xie and left quickly without saying a word.
Originally, the five princes who wanted to wait for the gap between enjoying the flowers looked around but couldn't find the person they wanted to see, so they returned to the dormitory in anger.
King Jing's Mansion.
Qin Chu is not the kind of person who doesn't care about others, and when he returned to the bedroom, he yawned and asked, "Does the prince want to take a lunch break?" ”
Feng Xie put away his stupid expression and said coldly: "No need. If the princess is sleepy, go to sleep. ”
When the words fell, he raised his feet and turned to leave.
Naturally, he said so, Qin Chu didn't care what he did, he was too sleepy, and he fell asleep when he returned to the bed and lay down.
By the time Qin Chu woke up, it was already dinner time.
Yuan Shui poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her, "Sister Zhu Lan just came to inform that Miss Ma invited you to eat in the pear courtyard." ”
"Oh." Qin Chu sat up and rubbed his shoulders and neck, moved left and right, slept on the wooden bed with a sore back, changed into light clothes, didn't make up for it, and went to the pear courtyard with light steps.
On the way, I happened to meet Feng Xie and answered his question with a slight salute.
In the pear courtyard, Ma Tong just set up the meal, smiled when he saw people, and pulled Qin Chu to sit down.
"Qin Chun, Dragon Boat Festival is healthy!"
Qin Chu nodded indifferently, and also replied to the word "Ankang", slightly surprised to see the dishes on the table.
Ma Tong: "Dangdang, Dang!" I didn't expect it, there were pickles, I ate them at noon, and the taste was sour, but I went to the kitchen and got a salty one myself, oh and, this is beer duck, celery fried beef. ”
At noon, the people in the house couldn't get used to Ma Tong's "young lady", so they only prepared white porridge and pickles and sent them to the pear courtyard.
Ma Tong didn't expect that there were pickles in this place, so he tasted the pickles curiously, and his little face was wrinkled with a sour taste, but he could still eat it, and he had an idea after eating the porridge and pickles.
In addition, today's festival, so, Ma Tong and Zhu Lan went to the kitchen to prepare for cooking, the beer duck was fried in the house, and the celery fried beef was fried by her, and the pickles were replaced with modern tastes.
"I didn't expect you to be quite attentive." Qin Chu looked at the three dishes on the table, and couldn't help but sigh, moved his chopsticks, picked up the beer duck and tried it, which was worse than the one in the palace, and then sandwiched the celery fried beef, and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Yes, it's a familiar taste." ”
After eating two bites of rice, I finally put pickles in my mouth, and the salty taste is mixed with a little sourness, which makes people's taste buds bloom and salivate.
Ma Tong just smiled and ate along, and the meal was very happy and satisfied.
After an hour, the sky gradually entered the night, and the crescent moon shone freely in the sky.
Ma Tong picked a salty zongzi, Qin Chu was a sweet zongzi, and the rest were distributed to Yuanshui and others.
