Yipin Farmer's Wife

Chapter 171 Fighting is not a human job! (2)
Ouyang Lie asked coldly: "What time is it?"

"It's almost noon."

"I'm not hungry yet, I'll remind you after noon." When Ouyang Lie spoke, he didn't even raise his head, his gaze was still fixed on the memorial.

"The Ai family is extremely hungry, but the emperor is not hungry yet!"

Unexpectedly, a female voice sounded a little dissatisfied, but more distressed, and then saw the current empress dowager of Dongchen Kingdom, Ouyang Lie's biological mother walking in. There was no palace maid behind her. People are allowed to enter at will, even the Queen Mother, when she enters, she can only be herself.

"The slave has seen the queen mother."

Eunuch An hurriedly saluted the Queen Mother.

The queen mother signaled Eunuch An to get up, and she walked towards the thin man in front of the counter, seeing her son's once handsome face, but now because of his thinness, he lost his heroic appearance, her heart ached like a knife.

"Queen, why are you here?"

Ouyang Lie put down the memorial and got up to meet the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager walked up to him and said lovingly: "The Ai family would like to invite the emperor to accompany the Ai family for dinner."

Ouyang Lie said respectfully, "The Empress Dowager just sends a servant to invite her."

The queen mother asked: "Can I invite you? Lie'er, what time is it now? You ate very little breakfast. Now it's lunch time, and you don't let Mr. An deliver the meal. State affairs are heavy. Are you trying to exhaust yourself, starve yourself to death?"

Ouyang Lie smiled, "Queen, why did I starve myself to death? I still think about..." Seeing her again, if he could see her again, even if he wanted to take her captive, he would bring her to his side.He also wanted to know where she hid him and her child?It must have been sixteen years since the child was born, but he didn't even know whether the child was a boy or a girl.

In this life, he owed her too much, betrayed her trust in him, and made her bear grudges. It was his fault, and he was willing to bear it, but she shouldn't blame their children, which caused him to send spies all over the world for 16 years. Searching secretly, there is no news.

The queen mother's face froze, and she sighed for a moment: "Lie'er, you really still can't let go. For her, you are torturing yourself, but you lose weight for her, does she know? You tortured the queen mother, the courtiers, The people who worry about you are the empress mother, the courtiers, and even the people of the entire Dongchen Kingdom. Lie Er, where did that Prince Lie go?"

A love affair makes a wise king, and a love affair ruins an excellent man's body.

Ouyang Lie pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Lie'er, this path is the one you choose to take, and you will have to bear the consequences."

Ouyang Lie still pursed his lips and remained silent. Yes, he chose this path at the beginning. Everything was in his plan, except for falling in love with her... Now all the bitter fruits are borne by him.He doesn't blame her for her unfeeling, nor her resentment, all the pain, all the suffering, he is silently suffering.This is God punishing him. He only hopes to see her again in his lifetime.

"Lie'er, you are still young, and that matter has caused you pain for more than ten years. Let it go, and tormenting yourself will not help. Promise your mother, all officials, and establish a concubine. You are not doing it for yourself. For your own sake, you have to think about the country of your Ouyang family." It is rare and special for an emperor to have an empty harem.

"My Ouyang family has many sons, why worry about having no successors."

Ouyang Lie responded lightly.

He was already sorry for her back then, if he becomes a concubine again, it will be more mistakes, fearing that she will never forgive him in the next life.

"Lie'er..." The Empress Dowager wanted to persuade her again, there are many sons in the Ouyang family, but none of them came from the emperor.The empress dowager has only one son, the emperor, so she naturally hopes that her grandson will inherit the lineage in the future, but the emperor... even if the emperor has a daughter with others to inherit the lineage, the queen mother will support it, not necessarily a son.

Now that the emperor is like this, teach the queen mother how to feel at ease, and how will she face the ancestors of the Ouyang family in a hundred years?
Ouyang Lie raised his hand and stopped the Empress Dowager from persuading her, turned around and sat back in front of the desk, picked up the memorial again, and said coldly: "Mother, I am afraid that I don't have time to accompany my mother for lunch. Please go back. Eunuch An, respectfully send the Queen Mother back to the palace."

Eunuch An and the Queen Mother exchanged glances, both of them were extremely helpless.One is Dijun's biological mother, and the other is Dijun's close attendant. They are one of the few insiders who know what happened to Dijun back then.But as biological mothers and close servants, they have said and done everything they can say and do, but they still can't persuade this stubborn emperor to compromise.

"The slave sends the queen mother off respectfully."

Eunuch An respectfully sent the Queen Mother away.

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, the Empress Dowager stopped and told Eunuch An: "Eunuch An, no matter what, you must pass on the meal for the emperor, and persuade the emperor to eat. If the emperor continues like this, I'm afraid it will..."

"The slave obeys the order."

Eunuch An responded quickly.

The Empress Dowager turned her head to look at the Imperial Study Room behind her, and then left with Gong'e.

A group of people hurriedly knelt down to send the queen mother away.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, Eunuch An immediately ordered someone to pass on the meal, and put the meal in the imperial study.

Ouyang Lie let Eunuch An make arrangements, and he only cared about his affairs.He is very focused and serious in doing things, and he has identified his goals. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will go forward bravely, even if he has to give up too much.

After the meal was prepared, Eunuch An walked up to Ouyang Lie, bent his waist, and persuaded him with a perverted face: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat. Today, the servant specially asked the imperial dining room to make a very good cold dish. It is said that it is sour and sweet. Spicy and crisp, it was learned by the slaves who sneaked into the Star Dynasty, and the imperial chef tried hundreds of times before he dared to serve it to the emperor."

Hearing that he learned it secretly from the Star Dynasty, Ouyang Lie became a little interested. He put down the memorial, got up and left the desk and walked towards the side hall. He glanced at the food on the table, and finally his eyes fell on a plate of cucumbers. Wei Wei pointed at the plate of cucumber with a stern face, and questioned Eunuch An: "Is that what you mean? Isn't this just a plate of cucumber? Are you going to Daxing to learn it secretly? When will my royal chef change?" so useless?"

Eunuch An looked terrified, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this is a cold dish that restaurants in various restaurants in the Star Dynasty are vying for. Because the taste of this cold dish is very good, everyone who has tasted it likes it, and it can make people appetite after eating, so restaurants everywhere have added this cold dish. It spreads to ten, ten to hundreds, and gradually spreads. Open. The method is very simple, but it is not easy to make it as delicious as the Jinyutang restaurant. The slave always sees the emperor's appetite. Hearing about this, he wanted to let the imperial chef make it for the emperor to taste .”

Dongchen Kingdom likes to stare at the Great Star Dynasty the most. Dongchen Kingdom usually knows about the new things of the Great Star Dynasty faster than other countries.
