The envoy of Dian Kingdom had nothing to say, but he begs for envoys in Yan, but the old acquaintance in the palace, Has Chaolu stood up and laughed, "My king is about to ask for a prince to marry a princess. Since the emperor has this, that's fine.

I'm done. Please tell me which princess Fengtai to choose a son-in-law, and the day it will be decided, the prince of our clan will come to run for the election!"

What? He is really playing? Now even Gao Xian has to wait carefully.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying that she let Gao Xian get away with her, "Today is the birthday party of Ai's family. You don't want to send a few people to Ai's family, do you want to come to abduct Ai's granddaughter? But there is no such reason.

.”

Has smiled at Lu and punished himself with a glass of punishment, apologized and sat down, but he couldn't take back some of the words.

Concubine Zheng only knew how to make a mistake, but she was a little smarter to be favored. Seeing that she was a little unlucky, she pushed her daughter at the right time.

Shouning approached and said in a coquettish way, "Grandma, can you eat now? I jumped for a long time and was hungry."

Tong Yanzhi suddenly diluted the unhappiness before, and the queen mother smiled and said, "The table is not enough for you to eat? Then come to the emperor's grandmother and see what else you want to eat. By the way, let those offerings too

Let’s serve all the dishes. We always eat the taste of the palace, and let’s change the taste today.”

While talking and laughing, the eunuch quickly passed the words, and immediately set up a long table in the hall, covered with red felt, and placed various delicious dishes like running water.

For a time, deer tendons, bear paws, hump, monkey brain, shark fins, raccoon lips, sea cucumbers and scallops, all flying in the sky, walking under the ground, swimming in the sea, and hiding in the mountains, as long as the delicious food that can be imagined in this world will be concentrated on

This is it. Everything is beautiful and exquisite. It is a pleasure to just look at it, not to mention the fragrance that tempts people's index fingers.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her with satisfaction. Although she said "too much", her eyes fell on the golden mayonnaise-scented goose on a white jade plate in the first row. The palace servant next to her understood and immediately brought it up.

The queen mother tried a piece and felt that the goose palm was very different from what she had eaten vegetarian food, with a very unique flavor. She couldn't help but praise, "Who did this?"

The eunuch next to him replied, "It was the third girl of the Lu family who presented it, and she was also the apprentice of the general manager of the imperial kitchen."

The Queen Mother nodded, "It turns out that she is from a noble family and is extraordinary."

I picked a few more flavors that I liked. Although I felt they were good, I always felt that they were not as good as the flavor of goose palms. I couldn't help but smile, "It seems that the Lu family is the one who is the leader today."

Gao Xian smiled and said, "Of course, you are the one who decides the birthday party of the mother. Go and call that girl Lu in."

Lu Ying had been waiting outside the hall. She heard that the dishes she had made were indeed favored by the Queen Mother, and she was overjoyed. She walked into the hall and bowed in the most elegant manner, and she was indeed praised by the intersection.

Even the emperor looked at it more, "It turns out that it is the Shanggong family, and they learn the rules very well."

Lu Ying suppressed the joy in her heart and gave a bow again, "Thank you for your praise."

The queen mother liked it. "This girl is so good-born and has good rules. Do you want to come to the palace to work as a servant?"

Lu Ying smiled slightly, "The young girl has not yet started her career, she can only show off her tricks, but she dare not enter the palace to show off her ugly things."

The empress dowager 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 heart, you can learn everything else slowly. 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, so you have to think carefully."

Lu Ying was in a dilemma all of a sudden. She knew that agreeing now was undoubtedly the most sensible choice. But if she agreed, what chance would she and Ouyang Kang have? It doesn't matter whether she or not she marry a man, but she loses to Nianfu, she won't

Relax!

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

The Empress Dowager was stunned, "What's the matter?" Why don't you usually say it, but you have to say it in such a public place?

Gao Xian smiled and said, "Since I ascended the throne, I have seen that there are many palace maids left by the previous dynasty who have passed the Huaxin period. Let them stay in the palace until they are old, which is really a disaster for the peace. Therefore, I want to use it.

On the good day of my mother's birthday, I specially issued a kind decree to the palace, who are over 25 years old and still have relatives in my hometown and are willing to return home, and will send a sum of silver, money, cloth, and let them return home and marry them.

In the world, folk women are recruited to serve in the palace. Some of the excellent qualifications can also serve as female officials. When they reach age, they will let them choose to stay or leave the palace. Do you think?"

This is the best way to solve the rumors of choosing a concubine after repeated discussions by his think tank. It is specially put to say it today, but it does not seem to be deliberately reborn.

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she was very happy, "The emperor is kind and sympathetic to the people. This is a blessing for all people. What is the Ai family unwilling to do?"

Lu Ying felt aroused. If this is the case, it would be a good opportunity. She could enter the palace and serve as a gilded person, and she would not have to endure the whole life. But she had to endure until she was twenty-five years old, and she was a little older, so how could she let Ouyang Kang wait for her

Woolen cloth?

While she was thinking about the pros and cons, the civil and military officials and concubines in the harem came forward to praise the emperor and the empress dowager. Only Shouning took the time to run to the long dining table and searched around, "I wish my sister what I did.

What dish is it? Where did it be put?"

Lu Ying suddenly felt unhappy when she heard this, and saw the palace man next to him leading Shouning to the end of the table, pointing to an inconspicuous corner and saying, "This is the dish presented by Miss Zhu on behalf of Taipei City."

"But what is this?" Shouning asked curiously, attracting everyone's eyes.

Empress Dowager Mu sat high, and began to narrow her eyes. Seeing that the dish looked quite familiar, she couldn't help but feel her heart moved and ordered, "Take that dish over to Ai's house to take a look."

The palace people rushed forward and carried the dish by two eunuchs.

This is a very strange dish.

It's strange because it's not in ordinary plates or in bowls, but in a square lacquer plate.

The lacquer plate is about two feet wide and one foot wide. It is piled up inside and it doesn't look like a dish at all, but like a three-dimensional landscape painting.

I saw green mountains and gurgling water above. There were green pine trees standing upright, with red suns in the air, and geese flying by, which were lifelike and beautiful.

"What is this? What is it made of?" Shouning curiously stretched out his little finger and wanted to poke it to try, but was pulled by Empress Dowager Mu himself, "Don't move!"

Shouning turned his head, but saw the Empress Dowager looking at the dish intently and suddenly shed tears.

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

Seeing her reaching out her little hand to wipe her tears, Empress Dowager Mu felt warm and she hurriedly smiled, "The emperor's grandmother is fine. It's okay, it's just..."

She looked at the dish again, but she was choked and couldn't speak.

Seeing my mother like this, Emperor Gao Xian couldn't help but be curious. He walked over to see the dish himself and stopped talking for a long time. Suddenly, Weiran sighed with a sad look, "How many years have you fought in the north and south? You can't even remember the appearance of your hometown.

Now.”

The Empress Dowager said in tears, "Your Majesty still remembers that when you were young, every winter was also the same season. The late emperor always took you to hunt on Luya Mountain. The Ai family was by the river at the foot of the mountain.

We set up a tent and set fire to wait for you to come back. If spring and summer are over, we will go fishing and picking wild vegetables, and we will be together..."

She cried and couldn't say anything. Gao Xian stepped forward and patted her mother's back, letting her lean on her shoulder, which obviously brought back many beautiful memories.

"How could I forget? That was the happiest time for our whole family. I still remember that I was naughty and secretly carried you to the river to swim in the middle of the night, but my legs were twitching and almost drowned. It was still my mother who was worried.

, I got up in the middle of the night to check if my brothers had a good sleep. I found that I was not in the tent, so I quickly brought people to search for it, which saved my life. Later, my father was furious and beat me up.

I will never forget it in my life.”

The Empress Dowager laughed with tears, "Then the emperor blamed the Ai family for not protecting you at that time, but just watching your father beat you?"

"Of course not." Gao Xian has not been so moved for many years. Unexpectedly, he was hooked up by a dish today. He reached out to wipe away the tears from his mother's face and said warmly, "I know, you and Daddy feel sorry for me, so he beat me.

Me. At that time, were you scared, too?"

"Isn't it? In the two or three months after the accident, the Ai family didn't dare to sleep all night long. When they closed their eyes, they were afraid that your brothers would run out to be naughty again. From time to time, they would get up and ask, and look at you and sleep.

Okay, your father couldn't sleep well, so he could only go to the study room."

The mother and son recalled every bit of the past, and the warmth of laughter with tears in their eyes actually made outsiders unable to get involved.

It's okay, but Shouning is young and ignorant. She was ignored after standing under her for a long time. She was a little unhappy and pulled the whistle of her clothes and said, "Grandmother, Father, don't talk all the time. This dish is a bit unhappy.

, Can it be eaten?"

Her words made the Queen Mother burst into tears and laughed. Gao Xian pointed at her daughter's little nose, "You little greedy cat, remember to eat it. But how did this dish be made?"

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

This is really a skillful task!

Even Empress Dowager Mu looked at this dish with interest. Sure enough, the mountains, rivers and rivers of different colors were all made of colorful tofu flowers, and then spread them one spoonful after another to form a flowing mountains, rivers and rivers, like splashing ink.

Like mountains and rivers, it is very dynamic.

Empress Dowager Mu exclaimed, "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 said proudly, "Is this dish offered by Taipei City? The successor comes up and I have a lot of rewards!"

Next to it, Lu Ying, who had been forgotten, had his heart sinking to a bottomless place.

It was just a bowl of tofu, but it was even more difficult than her goose palm that had been so hard for her? How could that girl be so cunning? Thinking of such a way to take advantage of her? She was not convinced, but she was not convinced by one hundred and twenty!

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

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