Chapter 57: Xiaolan's Purpose

In the surprised eyes of the people who rushed to hear the news, Bi Yuntao walked to the kitchen with a fish bowl full of koi fish and instructed the chef to make a whole fish feast.

"Lord, these koi fish ......" The chef looked at his prince in embarrassment, these koi fish are worth a lot of money, and no one has ever heard of koi fish being used.

Bi Yuntao saw the figure of Meng Ruoxi's sister and brother disappearing into the study one after another, and hooked his finger at the cook.

When the chef saw his prince's mysterious appearance, he hurriedly listened to him, and heard Bi Yuntao instruct: "These koi fish belong to carp, you just follow the carp method, remember that there must be a carp soup, understand?" ”

Seeing that the chef nodded affirmatively, he instructed him again: "Remember to add some milk to the soup, and remember to fry the carp in hot oil, so that the fish is more delicious, you know?" ”

"Got it, lord." The chef answered, then looked at Bi Yuntao with a sad face, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong? Any questions? Bi Yuntao saw the chef's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked.

"Lord, isn't carp soup for pregnant women to replenish milk? You and Miss Dream will not eat it well! ”

"Ahem! You know what?! Carp soup doesn't just have that effect. Seeing the chef looking at him with a strange expression, Bi Yuntao hurriedly explained, "Ruoxi's illness is just right, I am afraid that she will not recover well after her illness, so I just took this opportunity to replenish her body, and besides, carp also has the effect of dietary therapy, opening the spleen and stomach, entering the kidneys and lung meridians, which can replenish the spleen and stomach, clear heat and detoxify, and stop coughing and breathing." ”

The chef listened to Bi Yuntao's explanation and nodded thoughtfully, but his eyes couldn't help but aim at his lower abdomen. Sure enough, the young didn't know that spring oil was expensive, and the old man sighed.

Bi Yuntao saw the chef's familiar eyes, how did he feel as if he had seen it somewhere today.

Bi Yuntao pondered for a while, and unconsciously thought of the eyes of a certain wave looking at him today, and immediately knew that the chef had misunderstood and wanted to explain, but when he saw the chef turn around to deal with the fish scales, he immediately gave up the mood to explain. sighed silently, forget it, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, anyway, it's not the first time.

Then he turned around and ordered his subordinates to go out and buy pine nuts, and asked the chef to make a squirrel fish, a dish that he had wanted to eat for a long time.

……

Just when Bi Yuntao and others were busy developing explosives, in a gorgeous palace, a maid knelt in front of a gorgeously dressed and flamboyant-looking lady.

"Why did Your Majesty send you here?" The lady glanced at the letter handed by the maid and spoke slowly.

"In recent years, the Khitan has become more and more rampant, harassing the border for a long time, making His Majesty a little anxious, just to hear the ministers say that the princes who participated in the battle for the succession of Huaxia are all Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, so they specially sent slaves and maids to investigate their character, and wanted to conclude a good relationship with Huaxia for Qin and Jin." The kneeling maid told the truth.

"Humph! Get up! The noble lady squinted her eyes and snorted coldly, with a cold light in her eyes. His Majesty specially sent Xiaolan, your henchman, to come, to see that there are other meanings in this palace! ”

"The concubine is really smart, and the slave knows that she can't hide it from the concubine." Xiaolan got up and smiled and complimented the imperial concubine.

"Tell me, what is the purpose of Your Majesty?" The imperial concubine took a sip of tea, looked at Xiaolan in front of her lightly and said.

"The slave maid also said before that the border has been frequently harassed by the Khitan recently, which has made His Majesty anxious, so he thought of Huaxia's firearms, but did not deny the ministers' proposal.

Therefore, His Majesty has used this as a reason to send slaves and maidservants to find a way to get these firearms. At the same time, he also knew that the power of the concubine was too thin in the battle for the heir, so while letting the slave and maid come, he helped King Qi and the concubine by the way, after all, His Majesty also wanted to make this play more exciting. ”

"Humph! Your Majesty really doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, since Your Majesty asked you to come over to help the palace and Tao'er, then what is your intention in stabbing Tao'er? ”

"Giggles! Don't you know your majesty's temperament?! Xiaolan chuckled a few times, and seeing the impatience in the imperial concubine's eyes, she quickly suppressed her laughter and opened her mouth to explain.

When the slave maid came to the capital, he learned that the king of Qi was lustful and willing to give up the imperial title for the sake of beauty, and the slave maid served by His Majesty's side all the year round, and thought that her appearance was not bad, so she had a plan in her heart and deliberately appeared in front of the king of Qi, and then took the opportunity to approach and stabbed the second prince to blame the second prince.

For the sake of beauty, the king of Qi will definitely not blame the slave maid, although he will be annoyed and angry, but he only holds a grudge against the second prince. Afterwards, I was using a beauty trick to trick the king of Qi into agreeing to serve the slaves and maids by his side.

And just as the slave maid expected, although the slave and maid were punished slightly, the king of Qi really let the slave and maid stay by his side and serve. As soon as she thought of Bi Yuntao's shameful punishment of her, she couldn't help but climb a red tide on her face, her cheeks couldn't help but be hot, and there was an interesting and inexplicable heat in her heart. Phew, that bad guy, Your Majesty wouldn't dare to treat yourself like that.

Suppressing the heat in his heart, he continued: "Now the slave maid can also justifiably follow the King of Qi to participate in these things, so that the slave and maid can act well in the future, and at the same time, they can also protect the King of Qi." ”

"It seems that you have really learned a lot from following Your Majesty all these years! But if you make a rash move, you're not afraid of this palace? Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity and ruining Your Majesty's big things? The lady looked at the ground thoughtfully, and did not see the red tide flashing on Xiaolan's face.

"This slave and maid have their own measure, and King Qi didn't receive any harm in the end, did he?

What's more, the real Xiaolan beside Zhao Mingsheng has already died of illness, and it is still the silver two of the slave maid who did it for her. The slave maid claimed to be her sister and came to repay him for his adoption.

Zhao Mingsheng was interested when he saw the color, and saw that the slave and maid had a bit of a look, and wanted to bring the slave and maid into the house, so he took the slave and maid to serve by his side. Now Zhao Mingsheng has also been beheaded, and the second prince doesn't care about the life or death of a maid at all, so no one will suspect the slave.

If the slave and maid really reveal their identity, they will submit the secret decree of the marriage to the Emperor of China and tell them about the marriage, not to mention that there is still a concubine to help here?! ”

"Humph! Hello for yourself. A cold light flashed in the lady's eyes, "No matter what the purpose of this palace is for you to approach Tao'er, it is necessary to remind you here, don't do it to Tao'er easily, otherwise, don't blame this palace for being polite!" And don't forget that before the marriage, the Emperor Taishang agreed to the conditions of the palace. ”

"Concubine Niangniang, don't worry! Since Your Majesty has sent the slaves and maids here, he has naturally instructed the slaves and maids to abide by the conditions you put forward before, and if it really reaches the point of no return, it will naturally ensure the safety of King Qi and the noble concubine, so that you and King Qi will retreat with their whole bodies. But ......"

"But what?!" The lady frowned, her eyes full of displeasure.

"However, when the slave maid came, His Majesty specially explained that he had to help the slave and maid get firearms.

"What if Hongu doesn't agree?"

"Of course, you have promised the noble concubine, and your conditions will naturally be uncountable!"

"Humph!" The lady slapped the table heavily, "Your Majesty is a good idea, this palace was willing to marry Huaxia for the sake of your country, and now you are asking this palace to help you steal firearms, don't you think it's too deceitful?!" ”

"Giggles! These are useless to talk to slaves and maids, this is what Your Majesty meant. ”

The imperial concubine stared at Xiaolan with cold eyes, pondered for a while, and then said lightly, "Okay, this palace is willing to help you, but if you dare to use Tao'er and let him fall into unnecessary trouble, don't blame this palace for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”

"Don't worry, concubine, this matter is all done by Xiaolan alone, it is all done in secret, as long as it is found that it is not good, she will clear up the relationship with King Qi."

"I hope you are the talker, but there is also a condition in this palace."

"Concubine Niangniang, please say, as long as it is not too much, Xiaolan can agree."

"Although there is Bengong to help you, but without the permission of Bengong, you can't act without permission, everything is subject to Bengong's arrangement, understand?!"

Seeing Xiaolan hesitating, the imperial concubine snorted coldly, "You have also been by Your Majesty's side, you should know that the relationship between the people in the court is complicated, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed." If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, if you are exposed, it will be a big deal and you will die. And after all, you have been in the Qi Palace, in case the emperor blames him, what do you want Tao'er to do?! Stealing ordnance and firearms is a capital offense! ”

"Everything is at the command of the concubine!" After all, Xiaolan has also been in the palace, and she has seen a lot of deception, and the matter of stealing firearms is very important, and the imperial concubine acted calmly, so she nodded and agreed.

……

"Come, Ruoxi try this!" Bi Yuntao picked up a piece of squirrel osmanthus fish, "Ah! Mouth! ”

Meng Ruoxi looked at the fish that was fed to her mouth, blushed and pouted at Meng Ruolang who pretended not to see it, and rejected Bi Yuntao's ambiguous movements. "You eat it yourself, it's not like I can't catch it myself."

Bi Yuntao knew that Meng Ruoxi was cheeky, and she had been ashamed to be ashamed of herself when she boldly got into her arms before, not to mention this kind of further intimate action now, but who made herself like to see her shy!

So under the gaze of Meng Ruolang's afterglow, he continued to hold the fish unrelentingly, looking at Meng Ruoxi, who was blushing and twisting, "You taste it, I'll tell you the story of this dish after eating." ”

Meng Ruoxi couldn't resist it, so she had to eat it in her mouth with a red face.

"Big brother, what's the story of a dish?" Meng Ruolang is puzzled, isn't it just a dish, can it still be eaten by the emperor?!

"Is it delicious?" Bi Yuntao didn't care about Meng Ruolang at all, this kid was really an eyesore, if he shaved his hair, it was estimated that he wouldn't even need to light the lights.

The flush on Meng Ruoxi's face had not yet dissipated, and she nodded shyly.

Bi Yuntao smiled when he saw Meng Ruoxi's shy appearance, "In ancient history, a certain emperor went down to the south of the Yangtze River, once toured south to Suzhou, and went out to a restaurant in Songhe Tower privately, and when he saw the ingots on the table, that is, carp, he wanted to taste it. The shopkeeper had no choice but to avoid the crime of slaughtering the "divine fish", so he cooked the fish into a squirrel-shaped, which happened to be associated with the pine character in the shop's signboard. The emperor was very satisfied after eating, and gave the name "squirrel Guiyu", but our folk often use "carp jumping over the dragon gate" to express auspiciousness and joy, so later changed to mandarin fish. ”

"Where did you see that? You obviously don't like to read at all, and when I see you, you're making things up, and I've been familiar with history books since I was a child, and I've never seen these records. After listening to him tell the story of the squirrel Guiyu, Meng Ruoxi didn't believe him at all.

"Hehe, it's all wild history, it's not surprising that you haven't seen it. However, you have also seen this fried "squirrel" like a "squirrel" when it is just served on the table, poured with a steaming marinade, the fish squeaks like a "squirrel", and some people even write a poem for this dish. ”

"Oh? What poem? I'll hear it. Hearing someone write a poem aroused Meng Ruoxi's interest.

"The head is raised and the tail is upturned, the color is funny, the shape is like a squirrel, and the halo squeaks."

Meng Ruoxi savored the poems, "Although the poems are not very beautiful, nor are they very good artistic conception, and they are even easy to understand, but they do perfectly interpret this dish!" ”

Seeing that the two of them ignored him, Meng Ruolang concentrated on talking about Fengsheng, secretly stretched out his chopsticks, and quickly took a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth to taste.

Although Bi Yuntao has been talking and laughing with Meng Ruoxi, he has been aiming at Meng Ruolang, Meng Ruolang's small movements have not escaped his eyes at all, and he originally wanted to pick up chopsticks to knock off the fish he picked up, but at this time, the next person came in with milk carp soup, and then he didn't care about him, just let him fend for himself!

Bi Yuntao got up and took a bowl and spoon to personally serve a bowl for Meng Ruoxi. "Try this soup, this milk carp soup, this soup can not only beautify the skin but also delay aging."

Meng Ruoxi took the soup from Bi Yuntao's hand, and heard that it could not only beautify the skin but also delay aging, coupled with the delicious taste of the squirrel osmanthus fish before, she scooped out a spoonful and blew a few breaths, and couldn't wait to drink it.

When Bi Yuntao saw Meng Ruoxi's movements and performance, he showed an expression that was really like this, but there was a faint hint of surprise in his eyes. I know that a woman will care about her beauty, let alone a woman who is born as beautiful as a fairy, but I didn't expect that Meng Ruoxi, who has a refined temperament, would be so impatient and unavoidable.
