Chapter 408: Tea Banquet with Ming Dao Ming Gun
Chapter 409: Ming Dao and Ming Gun Tea Banquet
"I have seen the Second Prince!" Yun Qing said while bowing. When Le Youyou heard Yun Qing's words, he immediately understood that the person in front of him was Yun Zi, the second prince, who was the most famous candidate to become the prince, and he was also one of the ten people in the four countries that Ye Yan once mentioned.
She naturally remembers such a person, but after she finished playing, she didn't expect that Yun Zi herself was much more handsome than in the portrait. She saluted Yun Zi slightly, "Your Highness I have seen, your highness is healthy!"
Yun Zi glanced at Le Youyou, who was blessed with a smile, raised his hand to signal the two of them to get up, "Yun Qing, you and I have grown up, and now there is no one here, so don't see each other!"
Yun Zi raised Yun Qing's hand, and Yun Qing smiled lightly and withdrew her hands, "Second Your Highness, you still have the etiquette you should have!"
Le Youyou took a tactful step back, let Yun Qing and Yun Zi walk forward side by side with Gao Yu, while Le Youyou walked with Lan Yu Fan Qing.
She looked at Yun Zi's back and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the emperor had very few children. At this time, he only had the Great His Highness, the Second His Highness, and the Third His Highness, why is this?"
Lan Yu smiled and shook her head to indicate that she didn't know. However, Fan Qing smirked without saying a word, but her expression was seen by Le Youyou. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly and teased: "Well, you really don't know. After all, you are not Yun Qing's confidants..."
"Who said we are not the confidants of the young master?" Fan Qing stared at Le Youyou unwilling to be outdone, and said in detail in a low voice: "Because the emperor is now in love with His Highness, the second and third princess' mothers, he only allowed the three empresses to receive gifts to give birth to His Highness. First, the forces in the harem are restrained, and second, it also avoided the throne-fighting of the emperor when he ascended the throne..."
Lan Yu suddenly let out a heavy "shush", and the two of them looked forward together. Yun Qing and Yun Zi suddenly stopped at the arch, and Le Youyou took a small step forward with a little curiosity.
Yun Qing took a step back, and the two collided together. She let out a muffled groan. Yun Zi turned around and looked at the two of them and smiled, "Yun Qing, your maid is really not as good as a maid!" Yun Qing smiled and held up a glance at Le Youyou in the corner of her eyes, "The Second Highness is right!"
Le Youyou behind her glared at Yun Qing fiercely, "Who is it that you don't have eyes?" Yun Qing looked at Yun Zi through the arch, then pulled her to her side with one hand, and cleverly hooked the silk hanging from her forehead behind her head, and teased with a gentle and politeness: "If I had eyes on my back, wouldn't I have become a monster?"
Le Youyou pulled the corners of his mouth, looking at Yun Qing, who thought he was funny, without a smile, "Haha..." When Yun Qing wanted to help her get the phoenix flower hairpin on the fairy cloud bun, Le Youyou took a step back and avoided his hand. Yun Qing looked at his hand that was holding the air and frowned with a bitter smile, "Are you afraid of me?"
Le Youyou hummed and wanted to refute Yun Qing, Gao Yu brought a few eunuchs to them and said flatteringly: "Young Master Yun Qing, please..."
Yun nodded and took a step forward, but saw Le Youyou not moving for a long time, holding her hand with one hand and half pulled into the place where the tea banquet was held. She glanced at the surrounding environment. The main seat was located in the east, with a rockery in front and a small stage in the middle. The tables and chairs around were radially placed, all centered on the stage.
They were directed by Gao Yu on the stage, facing the emperor and the empress dowager sitting high on the main seat. Yun Qing gave the two great gifts of bowing three times and nine times in the palace, "Please ask the emperor, the empress dowager to punish him. The empress dowager is late due to delays. Please ask the emperor, the empress dowager to atone for his sins!"
Le Youyou learned to pay a visit to Yuntian and the Empress Dowager, bowing his head. Yuntian raised his sword eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Why is it delayed?"
The queen mother raised her eyebrows and turned the Buddhist beads bracelet in her hand, "Your Majesty! This bad boy, Yun Qing, will you not come to the palace for a long time? Now you blame him. Wouldn't your grandson not enter the palace in the future?"
Yuntian frowned, looking at Yun Qing, who was silent but actually did this, waved his hand, "Forget it! Now the Queen Mother has pleaded with you, and I will spare you today. Gao Yu said that you brought a girl who is as beautiful as a flower and beautiful as a beauty. Let me tell the Queen Mother quickly who it is?"
Yun Qing stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager and Yun Tian, and smiled bitterly: "Emperor Gao praised me in seconds, I am just an ordinary woman!"
Le Youyou's lips twitched, her eyes staring at Gao Yu, wishing she could perform a live show to tear up the living person. After all, she didn't want to provoke the group of noble ladies who admired Yu Yunqing, and she didn't want to be the target of public criticism today and let her be attacked from both sides.
"Well? This is the first time you have brought your female companion here. I want to take a good look at what kind of lady has entered my Yun Qing's Dharma Eye!"
The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes flashed, her brow raised, and she said in a manner that Yun Qing looked at Yun Tian and nodded, but turned her head slightly and whispered: "Youyou, why don't you pay tribute to the Emperor and the Queen Mother?"
Le Youyou gritted her teeth, knowing that she could not escape the fate, so she could only knelt on her teeth and walked forward a few steps, but this behavior made the Empress Dowager curl the corner of her mouth with satisfaction and whisper to Yuntian beside her, "Your Majesty! Do you know this little girl?"
Yuntian looked at Le Youyou and shook his head, and Le Youyou learned from Yun Qing that he would bow three times and bow nine times. "I have seen the emperor, Empress Dowager, long live my king, long live the empress dowager, thousand years of the empress dowager..."
Finally, she buried her head tightly in case the ladies who were now shooting her with their eyes to see her appearance. The queen mother chuckled and looked at Le Youyou who was foolishly bowing three times and nine times, "Raise your head and show me!"
Le Youyou was so angry that he pursed his lips without tears, and slowly raised his head. However, on the rainy day when he was drinking tea, Le Youyou coughed in shock by the sudden refreshed look in front of him. He pointed at Le Youyou with one hand and said in anger: "Cough cough cough... It's you... cough cough cough..."
Gao Yu quickly patted Yuntian's back, but the scene was irritated by Yuntian's words and they started to talk. The ladies of the Gui family laughed at her with gloating. The Empress Dowager looked at Le Youyou with curiosity. Did he look back at the Emperor who was coughing non-stop, "Your Majesty, do you know this girl?"
Yun Tian smiled coldly and raised his eyebrows, "I know! Why don't you know me?"
After all, he left the soybean cake she made and the box of four square soybean custard cakes. He originally wanted to save these two for dinner later. Who knew that he asked Gao Yu to take them back to the palace. The soybean cakes were dissipated into a ball of powder, and the soybean custard cakes melted, but the imperial chef could not make them, which caused him to eat the thing and go to the official room all night. Le Youyou looked at Yuntian in confusion and asked Yun Qing in a low voice, "Why is the emperor looking at me so fiercely?"
Yun Qing recalled the news that the emperor had been dragging all night because of the wrong food. His mouth raised and his eyes were smiling, "Report to the Queen Mother, today's tea banquet was a decree to the Wei minister, asking him to bring a female companion. However, Yun Qing was not talented and could not get into the eyes of the ladies of each family, so he had no choice but to bring only the chef who had recently entered the mansion - Le Youyou!"
"Cook, I don't believe it!" The Queen Mother looked at Le Youyou's noble dress, and her every word and action was kind, but she was just a silly girl who was vague and overly modest in her manners.
Le Youyou felt cold when she heard Yun Qing introduce herself like this. She glanced at the corners of her eyes and saw that the noble girls were staring at her with the eyes of jackals, tigers and leopards.
Her spine was covered with coldness. She silently wrote down Yun Qing's introduction to her face and hurriedly bowed to the Empress Dowager, "Report to the Empress Dowager, I am the cook of Mr. Yun Qing, and the emperor has seen me and praised me for the delicious food I made."
Yuntian looked at Le Youyou who killed first and then played, and snorted coldly, "Empress Dowager, she is indeed the cook I gave to Yun Qing." The empress dowager suddenly raised her eyebrows, and Yun Tian cleared her throat, "I promised the empress dowager not to punish Yun Qing, but did not say that she would not punish Yun Qing's female companion!"
Le Youyou stared at Yuntian with wide eyes, and the next moment he looked at Yun Qing for help. Yun Qing said with a gentle face: "Your Majesty, if you want to punish, you should punish him together. You cannot bear the punishment of Wei You because Youyou is the chef of Wei. If you let the world know, it will definitely damage the emperor's wisdom!"
Yuntian didn't expect Yun Qing to frown the punishment on his body. After frowned and pondered for a while, he consulted the Queen Mother who was watching the show, "Empress Dowager, how do you think you should punish them?"
The Empress Dowager brushed her sleeves and smiled kindly: "I am reluctant to punish this bad boy Yun Qing. If I want to punish him, I must go to the palace to visit me three times a month!"
Yun Tian nodded with a strong intention, "Just as the Queen Mother said, as for Le Youyou..." Le Youyou let out a light breath, looking gratefully as the Queen Mother reduced the punishment to the lowest level, and Yun Tian could not punish her too severely.
"Since today is a tea banquet, then you can make a cup of tea that no one has ever drunk on site!" Le Youyou frowned, looking at the seemingly lightest punishment, but also the most severe punishment. A cup of tea that no one has ever drunk may have twisted the head on her neck. Yun Qing frowned, just as she was about to plead for Le Youyou.
"Thank you, the Queen Mother, for the grace of the Queen Mother! Let's drink tea that we haven't drunk!" A female voice sounded first, causing Le Youyou to turn her head and look at her. The man was wearing a purple gauze dress and bowed to Yuntian and the Queen Mother in a very polite manner.
Fan Qing behind Le Youyou looked at the man in disgust, "Le Youyou, you must make it come out, otherwise Lu Ziyan will come to pester the young master again!" Le Youyou pulled the corners of his mouth and said to himself: "Why do you seem to be effortless?"
"Hey! I'm not thanking you for a long time. Could it be that Jiang Lang has finished his talents?" Another noble girl teased, and another noble girl even followed the trend and said, "Yiyi, don't be naive. If she is really a cook, the young master will really take her out. She will naturally hook her as a cook... and confused the young master..."
Le Youyou raised his eyebrows and smiled at these girls who were too expensive than the other, "I thank the Lord for your kindness, and I also ask the emperor to help me prepare some things!"
Lu Ziyan looked at Le Youyou who had perished himself with a sneer, and sat quietly beside him and smiled lightly. Yuntian nodded and allowed him. Le Youyou whispered to ask Gao Yu about something. After a while, Yun Qing asked worriedly before leaving the stage: "Can you?"
Le Youyou frowned with a bitter smile, "No, you have to be OK!"
