The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 746: Serving Soup with Bare Hands

Today, Ying Zheng wore a white jade flying eagle crown and a simple black casual suit. The suit was made of brocade, and the pattern on it was an ancient black bird embroidered with gold thread. He wore a jade belt around his waist, and on one side of the belt was a sachet filled with South China Sea agarwood, and on the other side was a simple dragon-shaped Lantian jade.

After coming out of the carriage, Ying Zheng put one hand behind his back, glanced at Lu Wen, and said softly, "Go in." His voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible majesty.

Everyone said yes loudly. Lv Wen quietly gave his two sons a look and asked them to take people to prepare quickly. The two sons understood and hurriedly took people to prepare to welcome the guests. This must be done by them personally.

Lu Wen himself bent his body slightly, standing not far from Ying Zheng, and invited Ying Zheng to come in.

Even if he just took a sneak peek, Lu Wen would guarantee with his life that the person in front of him must be the most powerful person in the world!
Just looking at his face, the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix is ​​fully revealed, and the images of the sun and the moon are so dazzling that they are almost blinding.

You don't need to be proficient in physiognomy, as long as you have a little knowledge, or in other words, as long as you have a little vision, you can see that he is the Supreme!
In the eyes of someone like him who is well versed in physiognomy, it was like the scorching sun in the clear sky, which could not be looked directly at.

The appearance, demeanor, clothing, and especially the natural expression that everything belongs to him, these are not something that can be faked, and no one in the world dares to pretend to be the emperor!
When Ying Zheng was heading to the main hall, someone, led by a servant of the Lu family, was already hurriedly cleaning up the room with items Ying Zheng needed for daily life.

Ying Zheng walked slowly to the main hall of the guest room. Although the decoration inside the hall was not luxurious, it was also elegant. He naturally sat in the main seat in the middle of the hall, and the chairs had been replaced with the ones he brought with him.

He is too tall to sit on ordinary chairs.

As soon as Ying Zheng sat down, Lu Wen knelt down in the hall and shouted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health." There was a slight tremor in his voice, a tremor of excitement and awe.

Ying Zheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked, "How do you know it's me?"

Lv Wen did not dare to raise his head, and replied with a trembling voice: "As a young man, I met a master by chance, and learned the art of fortune-telling. Today, I looked up at the sky and was surprised to see the emperor's dragon energy coming from the north to the south, so I prepared to welcome him."

"I dare not speculate on the whereabouts of the emperor. I just think that if I am lucky enough and have mercy on God, I will be very lucky to meet the emperor by chance."

"I never thought that I would be so lucky to have the chance to worship the emperor and have him visit my humble home. This is a great honor for my whole family and my humble home is honored."

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

"You are thoughtful, and those who are thoughtful will be rewarded."

"It's a waste of your talent to live in such a small place. You should go to the capital soon. With your talent, you can have a place in the Tiantai."

Lu Wen was overjoyed and kowtowed heavily: "I, your humble servant, thank you very much for your great grace. I will do my best to repay your great grace!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand slightly and said softly, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Lv Wen thanked him, he stood up, still bowed, and said in a very humble manner:

"Your Majesty, I am deeply honored to have Your Majesty condescend to visit me. I have been preparing my humble home since I woke up early. Your Majesty is tired from the journey and the journey to the palace is long. I dare to ask Your Majesty to stay in the west pavilion of my humble home for a while. I have ordered the kitchen to prepare the grand feast and the bedroom to be fumigated with orchids and agarwood. I only hope that Your Majesty can relax a little. If you are granted the grace of heaven, I will take off my hat and go barefoot to guard Your Majesty's steps all night."

Ying Zheng said softly: "Yes."

Lü Wen was relieved and overjoyed. He quickly kowtowed and said, "I thank your Majesty for your grace from heaven."

Ying Zheng ordered: "My entourage must also be arranged."

Lu Wen replied: "Your Majesty is wise and wise. I will obey your orders and make sure to settle the Tiger Guards."

Ying Zheng nodded, said no more, got up and went to the attic that Lu Wen had carefully prepared.

When he reached the attic, Ying Zheng looked around and realized something was wrong. The room was decorated with exquisite items, and it was obvious that they had put a lot of thought into it. Although it was still a bit shabby compared to the palace, it was obvious that they had tried their best. Fortunately, the secret guards rearranged it and replaced the daily items they brought with them, so it was barely acceptable.

What was wrong was that this attic was originally a woman's boudoir. Although it had changed a lot, Ying Zheng could see that there were still some traces of haste. Just like the few soft silk ribbons hanging by the window, they still had a bit of a woman's gentle atmosphere.

Ying Zheng nodded secretly, and was quite satisfied. A woman's boudoir was always better than one that was originally occupied by a man.

At night, just as night fell, Lü Wen passed several checkpoints with a cautious look and slow steps. He arrived in front of the attic and met the eunuch. He respectfully asked the eunuch to ask Ying Zheng whether he could prepare the meal.

After getting permission, he immediately went to the kitchen to watch the cooks cook. Of course, he was not the only one watching, there were also two secret guards and two eunuchs following him, watching the whole process.

After it is made, it must be tested for poison, tasted, and then sent to the attic. Nothing needs to happen during this period.

What Lu Wen prepared was quite sumptuous, and he really did his best. It was called a grand ceremony, but in fact it was more than that.

It is impossible to have only those few dishes. Not counting the side dishes, fruits and vegetables, snacks, etc., there are forty-eight items prepared.

Some good wine was also prepared, but Ying Zheng basically didn't drink, so he urgently prepared some iced fruit juice.

The maids who served the meals also stood in a row, waiting outside the kitchen the whole time, so as not to be contaminated by the smell of smoke.

I picked up the meal, delivered it, and then came back. I was accompanied by security guards the entire time and could not be out of their sight. I also went through several security checks.

All the maids were selected from young girls who knew the rules and etiquette, had pretty faces and were in good health.

They bathed, washed, and dressed themselves up, and put on their best clothes, the best jewelry, and dressed their best.

Lu Wen went to so much trouble just to squeeze his second and third daughters in as well.

Then he just left it to fate. Ying Zheng was sitting in front of the table, the candlelight flickering, reflecting his handsome and majestic face. He ate his meal slowly, looking leisurely. It was still early, and he usually didn't go to bed so early, so he was not in a hurry to eat.

The table in front of him was filled with food, which was immediately removed when it got cold. Whatever he wanted to eat, the eunuchs who were always paying attention to Ying Zheng would immediately bring it to him.

The maids serving food came and went one after another, but Ying Zheng basically didn't even look at them. What a joke! What was there worth seeing in this small place?

As a result, when I looked up occasionally, hey, it really was there.

This was a deliberate trick by Lu Wen. He asked his second daughter to deliver soup so that he could stay a little longer. After putting the soup down, he could serve a small bowl to Ying Zheng.

It was only when someone else came to Ying Zheng's side that Ying Zheng took his eyes off the book and took a quick look at it.

Lu Zhi walked lightly with graceful steps, concentrating on her own work, with a respectful attitude and serious work. She placed the soup bowl next to Ying Zheng, bowed and was about to leave.

"stop."

Lu Zhi's delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly stopped, knelt down, and lowered her head to wait.

Ying Zheng said softly: "Raise your head."

Lu Zhi's heart trembled and she slowly raised her head.

When Ying Zheng saw it, his eyes lit up.

The beauty before me was no more than 20 years old, with black hair as black as ink, loosely tied into a bun with a jade butterfly hairpin inserted diagonally.

Her face was extremely beautiful, her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like rippling autumn water. At this moment, her eyelashes trembled slightly, like the wings of a butterfly, and it was obvious that she was a little nervous.

She had a delicate and straight nose, red lips without any lipstick, dimples on her cheeks, fine pearls and jade pendants around her neck, and gold and jade bracelets on her wrists that jingled softly.

Especially her eyes. At this moment, she could still remain calm when facing Ying Zheng. Although she was nervous, her eyes were quite firm, like white plum blossoms under the moon, clear and ethereal.

Moreover, what a noble face. It is simply too expensive to describe.

After seeing Lu Zhi's face, Ying Zheng was quite surprised.

(Reference picture of Lü Zhi:)
Ying Zheng looked carefully and had an idea in his mind. He asked softly, "Who are you?"

Lü Zhi replied softly, "Your Majesty, my name is Lü Zhi, and I am the second daughter of the owner of this place."

After Lu Zhi replied, Ying Zheng only chuckled.

"Stay and serve me at dinner."

When Lü Zhi heard this, she suppressed her ecstasy and said respectfully, "I obey your order."

Before going out today, Lu Wen asked her to vacate her boudoir and gave her specific instructions, telling her that a very important and noble person might come today and she must seize the opportunity then.

Lu Zhi didn't know whether it was true or not, and she didn't know who would come, but she chose to listen to her father without hesitation. She believed in her father's vision.

The number of people who came today made her instantly realize that what her father said was right, and she did have some insight.

The woman could not go out to greet guests, and the rules and protections for the large and strict crowd were too large, so she waited patiently for her father to create an opportunity.

Until she found out that the person coming today was actually the emperor! This news shocked her so much that she felt dizzy.

Moreover, my father was appreciated by the emperor and was to be brought to the capital to serve as an official!

She finally understood why her father had made such a grand ceremony to welcome her today and why she had to dress up nicely.

This is indeed an opportunity, an opportunity to reach the sky in one step, and it is a real opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

God has mercy on me, I really seized the opportunity.

Lu Zhi walked to Ying Zheng's side with small steps, but she really didn't know how to serve anyone. After all, she was the second daughter of a wealthy family and had never served anyone.

Can serving parents be the same as serving the emperor?

Ying Zheng didn't care and just asked casually, "Was this attic originally your boudoir?"

Lu Zhi whispered, "Yes." Her tone was soft and gentle, just like a spring breeze blowing across the lake.

Ying Zheng took a look at Lu Zhi and never expected that the young Lu Zhi could turn out to be such a gentle and beautiful woman. Experience really changes people.

But it was expected that she was a great beauty, otherwise Lu Wen would not have preferred to let his daughter become an old spinster rather than marry her off.

Beautiful women are not a scarce resource, but top-notch beauties are.

Ying Zheng asked again: "Have you learned regular script?"
