After the discussion in the imperial study, the emperor specially left a few of their concubines for dinner today.

Tang Shi swallowed his saliva, the six of them set up three tables for dinner, the table was covered with a layer of snow-white tablecloth, and the eunuch lined up with red lacquerware to serve the food, and after a while, the three tables were full.

Tang Shi quietly counted, a total of eighty dishes, not counting fruit snacks and the like after meals.

Luxury, too extravagant!

"Throne!" Emperor Tianheng's faint voice came from above.

Concubine Shu hurriedly took the lead in saluting: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

Tang Shi followed behind, and only after Concubine Shu, Li Zhaorong, and An Concubine sat down, she sat down next to her, and finally Zhou Cairen.

She and Zhou Cairen's two-person group of fishing in troubled waters fell at the end again.

After the emperor moved the chopsticks, the concubines picked up the chopsticks, but in order to be dignified, everyone was very restrained, only sandwiching the dishes closest to them, and eating them extremely slowly.

Tang Shi was originally very happy to have a big meal, but he was stunned by this tense atmosphere and lost his appetite.

It was too painful to look at the food and not be able to eat it with an open stomach, and she was very resentful in her heart.

[There is a serious illness, six people eat and make three tables, many dishes are out of reach, and I am lonely. 】

Guagua: [Host, the emperor also has three tables for one person on weekdays. 】

Tang poem: [The hateful ruling class, this outrageous feudal society, is too corrupt, Zhumen stinks wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road. 】

Emperor Tianheng put down his chopsticks.

Guangquan, who was waiting next to him, hurriedly stepped forward to add him tea.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu hurriedly put down the chopsticks, followed by Li Zhaorong, An Concubine, and Zhou Cairen, Tang Shi reacted half a beat slowly, and reluctantly put down the chopsticks, and let out a painful wail in her heart.

[I hate to accompany the boss and customers to eat, and people are prone to heart attack and lose their life for ten years. 】

Emperor Tianheng listened to these complaints expressionlessly, his deep gaze swept over several concubines without a trace, and picked up the chopsticks again: "Isn't today's dish to your liking?" ”

"Where is the emperor, the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room is the best, and the concubines have never eaten such a delicious lion's head." Concubine Shu answered with a smile.

An Concubine also hurriedly stood up and said that she had never eaten such a delicious meal.

Li Zhaorong also quoted a poem to praise.

Tang Shi and Zhou Cairen are like quails, shrinking at the end, trying to reduce their sense of existence.

But the emperor's gaze still swept over, and then the concubines also looked over, Tang Shi's face suddenly turned red, and he was so nervous that he was at a loss: "Okay, delicious." ”

After speaking, as if to verify the credibility of her words, she also held a bowl and took a large mouthful of rice, so that her cheeks bulged, like a little squirrel holding hazelnuts and gnawing on a tree.

made the concubines couldn't help but laugh.

Even Emperor Tianheng's eyes flashed with a faint smile, he had a little impression of this concubine, she was timid and silent, and she was considered an outlier among several concubines.

Zhou Cairen also learned Tang poetry and took a bite of rice to show his satisfaction with the meal.

Emperor Tianheng retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Let's eat." ”

Everyone picked up their chopsticks again.

Tang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed all the food in his mouth, eased his tension a little, and caught a glimpse of An Concubine next to him eating lobster out of the corner of his eye.

The little eunuch who was waiting removed the shell, revealing the snow-white shrimp meat, and then dipped in some condiments, which was delicious at first glance.

Tang Shi found out that there were still a few seafood dishes on the table, and he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

[Wow, I didn't expect there to be seafood in this palace, the lobster is delicious, and the grilled clams are also very fragrant. If only you could have some garlic abalone, grilled squid, salt-and-pepper shrimp, and spicy crab...... It's good, I really miss the days when I used to eat seafood casually. 】

Several faint glances on the table fell on An Concubine, and even Emperor Tianheng's gaze became a little deep.

He is clear about the resumes of these concubines.

Concubine Shu, Li Zhaorong, Tang Concubine, and Zhou Cairen are all from the capital and have never been to the seaside, only An Concubine is from Jeju, which is near the sea.

An Concubine also noticed that everyone was looking at her, to be precise, at the shrimp meat in her bowl. Concubine Shu's eyes could not hide her jealousy, Li Zhaorong's face was a little ugly, and the emperor's eyes were scorching, with an unprecedented temperature.

In just a moment, Concubine An understood that everyone misunderstood that the voice was related to her.

As soon as her mind moved, she decided to make a plan, stretched out her chopsticks and grabbed another piece of roasted clams, skillfully peeled the shell and ate it, with a strong sense of nostalgia on her face.

This gesture validated everyone's guesses.

Concubine Shu's left hand under the table clutched a handkerchief, Concubine An has such unpredictable abilities, what else do they use to compete with her for favor? Didn't you see that the emperor's eyes fell on him more?

Li Zhaorong was also very upset. How could An Concubine be such a hypocritical woman with such good luck?

Emperor Tianheng was still the most sophisticated, and he indifferently withdrew his gaze and asked the eunuch to peel seafood for a few concubines.

Tang Shile, who was too hungry and embarrassed to stand up and pick up the seafood, looked at the peeled seafood in the bowl and ate it happily.

[Guagua, it's delicious, this abalone is so fat. 】

[Pipi shrimp is so delicious, I want to eat two more.] 】

An Concubine immediately stretched out her chopsticks and grabbed two leather shrimps, and Concubine Shu lowered her head angrily, and there was no smile on her face for the first time.

For the undercurrent surging on the dining table, Tang Shi was unaware. She only felt that she was much more comfortable eating now, because Concubine An next to her had let go a lot and had been eating. The Dog Emperor also seemed to have a conscience, and asked the eunuchs to change the dishes from time to time, so that she could also get more dishes.

The food here is so good, Tang Shi ate very happily, and he didn't complain about the emperor for the first time.

After eating, she quietly rubbed her bulging little belly.

[Guagua, it's so supportive. 】

Guagua: [Let you eat so much at once, don't eat if you can't eat it.] 】

Tang Shi said pitifully: [You don't know how difficult it is to eat seafood because there is no cold chain technology now, and the capital is not near the sea. It is estimated that the emperor will not be able to eat a few times a month, and I will probably only be able to eat such a meal in my life, of course, I have to eat more. 】

Concubine An next to her hadn't eaten so much for a long time, and she didn't feel it when she ate, but after eating, she felt a little sick to her stomach, and her face was not very comfortable.

Emperor Tianheng waved his hand to make people eat hawthorn tea.

Concubine Shu and Li Zhaorong looked at the sour hawthorn, so angry that they almost crushed their silver teeth, but the happy voice sounded in their ears: [I like to drink hawthorn water the most, it would be better if I put some honey, sweet and sour. 】

Hearing this, An Concubine, who didn't like sour food, couldn't help but pick up the teacup, took a sip, and put on a face as if she had eaten honey.

After eating a meal, Tang Shi found that the concubines were a little weird.

But she didn't care. She came in halfway, and she was not familiar with these concubines, and she was a new socialist youth, so she had better stay away.

But today's emperor is weird, some time ago, he asked them to come and sit in the morning for an hour or two and then leave, basically not even taking a face.

They have been left to eat today, and they have no intention of letting them go back, what kind of trouble is the emperor going to make? Could it be that they are planning to invite them to rub again at night? It's not impossible, wait for her to digest it.

After eating too much, Tang Shi's sleepiness came up, and when he sat on the chair, his eyelids began to fight, and his head quietly grew little by little, like a chicken pecking rice.

Li Zhaorong saw her heartless appearance, and was envious and angry in her heart, Tang Concubine was really a fool, she didn't care if she was full of food and drink. It's really a fool to be a fool, and it's not a good thing that she doesn't understand anything like her.

Why isn't that host Tang Concubine, otherwise Zhou Cairen would be fine.

These two are at least less annoying.

Just when Tang Shi was about to fall asleep, Guagua suddenly appeared.

[Host, Guan Chao pulled Zhu Xingye and a large group of people into the palace. 】

Tang Shi's drowsiness was swept away, and he suddenly became energetic: [Wow, are you going to pull your head flower? 】

The host knows Tang poetry very well, and it seems timid, but in fact, he likes this kind of liveliness the most, especially the life in the ancient palace is also boring.

[Yes, it looks like there is a live version today, and I don't need to relay the live broadcast yet.] Is the host agitated? 】

Tang Shi said: [Excited. I just like Guan Shangshu's resolute and resolute character. 】

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Guan Chao brought more than a dozen people into the palace to ask for a meeting, including Ge Jingyi.

Oh, this old man is a dead face to come and watch the excitement, after all, there are not many young people like Zhu Xingye who are shameless and scheming, and even Guan Chao, an old man, can fool him.

As soon as he saw the emperor, Guan Chao preemptively struck: "Your Majesty, I wish Xingye is not virtuous, conspire with the maid to frame Miss Lin, and ask the emperor to go to his post of editor in the Hanlin Academy." ”

Guan Chao is very confident.

I wish Xingye this person has a bad character, and he can do whatever it takes to climb up. Your Majesty would not want such a person to know that mysterious voice exists.

Sure enough, he found out what Emperor Tianheng was thinking.

Emperor Tianheng happily made an order: "Get rid of the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy of Zhu Xingye and demote him to a concubine." ”

After ten years of studying at night, it was not easy to go to high school, but today he was suddenly dismissed from his fame, how willing is Xingye. Even if he didn't want to offend Guan Chao, now he had to stand up and defend himself: "Your Majesty, Weichen is wronged." My father-in-law didn't know who he had heard, framed Wechen, and asked the emperor to call the shots for Wechen. ”

Guan Chao also came prepared: "Your Majesty, Weichen has entrusted the Criminal Department to find out the ins and outs of the matter, and the evidence is all in Master Ge." ”

Kudzu. Lively people. Jingyi was stunned.

He just came to see his colleagues having fun, and it was only an hour or two that he found a fart. Besides, this is someone else's family matter, but it is not under the control of their criminal department, and he has evidence of wool.

Guan Chao, a cunning old thing, framed him.

But there are still people who don't know about it.

Tang Shi sighed: [Ge Shangshu is so powerful, it is really admirable that he found out another case so quickly. 】

[Is he going to call the shots for that unlucky bastard?] What a blue sky. 】

Ge Jingyi knew when he heard these words, and the emperor would definitely push it on his head in order to cover up the source of the information they knew.

Guan Chao is really insidious.

Sure enough, Emperor Tianheng slowly spoke: "In this case, today I will hand it over to Lord Ge to try this case." ”
