Yipin Tianxia

The envoy of the Dian kingdom had nothing to say, but when he begged the envoy, Has Chaolu, an old acquaintance in the palace, stood up and said with a smile, "My king is trying to marry the princess for the prince, since the emperor has this to say, that's fine." Done. Please tell the emperor which princess Fengtai will choose a son-in-law for, and on the date, the prince of our family will come to participate in the election!"

What?He is playing for real?Now even Gao Xian had to be cautious.

The queen mother squinted her eyes and smiled, and said something to help Gao Xian, "Today is the Ai family's birthday banquet, you all don't want to send a few people to the Ai family, but want to kidnap the Ai family's granddaughter? There is no such reason .”

Haas punished himself with a drink at Lu with a smile, apologized and sat down, but he couldn't take back some words.

Concubine Zheng only knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, but she was able to win favor, so she was somewhat clever, and when she saw that there was some embarrassment, she gave her daughter a timely push.

Shouning came forward knowingly and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, can I eat now? I danced for a long time, and I'm hungry."

The childish words immediately diluted the previous unhappiness, and the queen mother smiled and said, "The table is full of dishes. Is there not enough food for you? Then come to the emperor's grandmother and see if there is anything else you want to eat. By the way, let those offering Serve all the dishes. I always eat the taste of the palace, and today we will also change the taste."

While talking and joking, the eunuch quickly passed on the word, and immediately set up a long table in the hall, covered it with red felt, and put all kinds of delicacies on it like flowing water.

For a while, deer tendons and bear paws, hump monkey brains, shark fins and raccoon lips, sea cucumbers and scallops, everything that flies in the sky, walks underground, swims in the sea, or hides in the mountains, as long as they are delicious delicacies that can be imagined in this world, they are all concentrated in This is it.Everything is beautifully done.It is so delicate that just looking at it is a kind of enjoyment, not to mention the tangy aroma that tempts people to twitch their index fingers.

The queen mother glanced at it in satisfaction, although she said "too wasteful", but her eyes fell on the golden sauce-flavored goose feet on a white jade plate in the first row.The palace man next to him understood and brought it up immediately.

The queen mother tried a piece, only to feel that the goose palm was quite different from the ones she had eaten before, and had a very unique taste.Can't help but praise, "Who did this?"

The eunuch at the side replied, "It's the third girl from the Lu family who made the offering, and she's also the apprentice of Director Yu of the imperial dining room."

The queen mother nodded, "Sure enough, he is from a family, which is extraordinary."

Picked out a few flavors that caught my eye and tasted them.Although it feels good, but I still feel that it is not as good as the goose palm, so I can't help laughing, "It seems that the Lu family is the winner today."

Gao Xian said with a smile, "The queen mother's birthday banquet. Of course it's all up to you. Go and call that Miss Lu in."

Lu Ying was already waiting outside the hall.She was overjoyed when she heard that the dishes she cooked were favored by the queen mother.Walking into the main hall and bowing down in the most elegant manner, he really got compliments.

Even the emperor took a second look appreciatively, "Sure enough, it's a Shanggong family, and the rules are well learned."

Lu Ying suppressed the joy in her heart, and gave another salute, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

The queen mother liked it. "This girl is really nice, and she has good manners. Do you want to work in the palace?"

Lu Ying paused with a slight smile, "Ministers haven't graduated yet, they can only show off some tricks, but they don't dare to come into the palace to make a fool of themselves."

The queen mother smiled and said, "You don't have to be too humble. Just looking at your goose palm today, you have put a lot of thought into it. As long as you have this kind of heart, you can learn slowly if you don't know it. However, you If you don't want to, the Ai family will not force you. After all, this is also a major event in life, and you have to think about it carefully."

Lu Ying was suddenly embarrassed. She knew that agreeing now was undoubtedly the most sensible choice.But if she agrees, what chance does she have with Ouyang Kang?She doesn't care whether she marries a man or not, but she is not reconciled to losing to Nianfu!

Lu Ying was hesitating, but Gao Xian said, "Queen, I have something to discuss with you."

The queen mother was taken aback, "What's the matter?" Why don't you say it usually, but say it in such a large audience?

Gao Xian said with a smile, "Since I came to the throne, I have seen that there are many maids in the palace who have passed the Huaxin period. It is really hurtful to let them stay in the palace until they grow old. Therefore, I want to borrow On the auspicious day of the Queen Mother's birthday, a decree was specially made to send a sum of money and cloth to anyone in the palace who is over 25 years old and has relatives in their hometown who are willing to return home, allowing them to return home and marry another. Then pass the decree to the world, Recruit folk women to serve as errands in the palace, and some with excellent qualifications can also serve as female officials, and when they reach their age, let them choose whether to stay or leave the palace, do you think so?"

This is the best way to resolve the rumors about concubine selection after repeated discussions by his think tank.It is deliberately said today, and it does not seem deliberate and rigid.

When the queen mother heard it, she was very happy, "The emperor is kind and sympathetic to the people. This is the blessing of all people. Why don't you be unwilling?"

Lu Ying's heart skipped a beat, if so, then it's really a good opportunity.Not only can she enter the palace and be gilded, but she doesn't have to suffer all her life, but she is a bit too old to survive until she is 25, so how can she let Ouyang Kang wait for her?

While she was thinking about the trade-offs on her side, all the civil and military officials and concubines in the harem came forward to praise the kindness of the emperor and empress dowager. Only Shou Ning took the time to run to the long dining table and searched around, "I wish my sister would do it." What kind of dish is it? Where is it placed?"

Lu Ying felt displeased immediately when she heard this, and saw the palace attendant taking Shouning to the end of the table, pointing to an inconspicuous corner and saying, "This is the dish that Miss Zhu presented on behalf of Beishi."

"But what is this?" Shou Ning asked curiously, attracting everyone's attention.

Empress Dowager Mu sat high, at first Presbyopia's eyes narrowed, but seeing the dish was quite familiar, she couldn't help but her heart moved, and ordered, "Bring that dish to Ai's house and have a look."

The palace people hurried forward, carried by two eunuchs, and brought over the dish flatly.

This is a very strange dish.

It is strange, because it is not served on an ordinary plate, nor is it served in a bowl, but in a large square lacquered dish.

The lacquer plate was about two feet wide and one foot wide, and I don't know what it was piled up inside. It didn't look like a dish at all, but like a three-dimensional landscape painting.

You can see the green hills and the gurgling water above.There are also green pines standing on it, a red sun in mid-air, and wild geese flying by, all of which are lifelike and beautiful.

"What kind of place is this? What is it made of?" Shou Ning curiously stretched out his little finger to try it out, but Empress Mu personally stopped him, "Don't move!"

Shou Ning turned his head, but saw the Empress Dowager staring at the dish, and burst into tears.

Shouning was taken aback. "Grandmother, why are you crying? Don't cry, don't cry!"

Seeing her stretching out her small hand to wipe her tears, Empress Dowager Mu felt warm and quickly smiled, "Grandmother is fine. It's fine, it's just..."

She looked at the dish again, but was choked up and speechless.

Seeing his mother like this, the emperor Gao Xian couldn't help being curious, he came over to look at the dish himself, and didn't speak for a while.Suddenly he sighed.His eyes were sad, "How many years have we fought between the north and the south. I can hardly remember what my hometown looks like."

The Queen Mother said with tears, "Your Majesty, you still remember that when you were young, every winter, at this time, the late Emperor always took you to hunt on Luya Mountain. Ai's house is by the river at the foot of this mountain. Set up a tent and light a fire and wait for you to come back. If we go in spring and summer, we will go fishing and pick wild vegetables, our family..."

She cried and couldn't go on.Gao Xian stepped forward and patted his mother on the back, letting her lean on his shoulder, which obviously brought back many good memories.

"How could I forget? That was the happiest time of our family. I still remember that once when I was naughty, I secretly carried you to swim in the river in the middle of the night. As a result, my legs cramped and I almost drowned. My mother was still worried. I got up in the middle of the night to check if our brothers were sleeping well, and found that I was not in the tent, so I quickly brought someone to look for it, which saved my life. Later, my father got very angry and beat me up. I will never forget it in my life."

The queen mother laughed with tears, "Did the emperor blame Aijia for not protecting you at that time, and only watched your father beat you?"

"Of course not." Gao Xian has never been so emotional for many years, but today he was hooked by a dish, reached out to wipe the tears on his mother's face, and said softly, "I know, you and Daddy love me so much that you will fight." Me. At that time, you were also scared, right?"

"Isn't it? In the two or three months after your accident, the Ai family didn't dare to sleep almost all night. When they closed their eyes, they were afraid that your brothers would run out to be mischievous again. From time to time, they would get up and ask, to see if you were sleeping Well, even your father can't sleep well, so he can only sleep in the study."

The mother and son recalled the past bit by bit, such a kind of warmth with tears in their smiles that outsiders can't get involved at all.

The adults are fine, but Shouning is young and ignorant. He was ignored for a long time standing there, and he was a little unhappy. He tugged at the hem of the two people's clothes and said, "Grandmother, father, stop talking all the time. This dish , is it edible?"

Her words made the queen mother laugh again.Gao Xian pointed at his daughter's little nose, "You little greedy cat, remember to eat it. But how is this dish made?"

This time Shouning poked it bluntly again with his finger, tasted the taste, grinned and said, "I know, it's tofu flower! Well, this pine tree is made of mushrooms, it's so delicious!"

It's also done so ingeniously!

Even the Empress Dowager Mu looked at this dish with great interest. Sure enough, the mountains and rivers of different colors are all made of colored bean curd flowers, and then they are layered one by one to form flowing mountains and rivers, like splashed ink. Landscape-like, very dynamic.

Empress Dowager Mu praised, "This is the best dish that the Ai family has seen today, and it is also the most touching dish in this life."

Gao Xian suddenly said proudly, "Is this dish presented by Beishi? If someone passes it on, I will reward you a lot!"

Next to him, Lu Ying, who had been forgotten, was sinking into a bottomless place.

It's just a bowl of tofu flower, but it's better than the goose palm she's put so much effort into?How could that girl be so cunning?Think of such a way to be opportunistic?She refuses to accept, she refuses to accept 120!

And next to her, there was a person who was as unhappy as her, and that was Mrs. Tan.

That dead girl actually won the favor of the Queen Mother and the Emperor?Then how should I deal with her?
