Lu Niaoyou didn't know anything about the eyes watching her secretly, even if she knew, she would not be afraid, after all, she already knew Gu Mei's hole card clearly.
Towards evening, the dinner to welcome foreign envoys officially began.
The setting sun was setting to the west, but the huge Changqing Palace was already brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly.
The one who sits at the top is Emperor Guang, and the next one is Lu Niao, and because of the invitation of Lu Niao, Gu Yan sits at the top with Lu Niao, and temporarily let the people below People can't see her expression clearly.
But with her status, being able to sit in the second seat is enough to make people envious and jealous.
Among them is Gumei. Emperor Guang raised these cooks, just like ordinary rich and noble families raise those Le Ji. Whoever is good will be rewarded.
Gu Mei was standing behind the side hall covered by a layer of gauze curtains, looking at the figure sitting upright in the second seat in the brightly lit room.
That thin figure and familiar facial features made her hate like claws scratching her heart. In the past, this person was prostrate at her feet, allowing herself to be bullied by her, but...
Gu Mei gritted her teeth in hatred, while Zhenbeihou sitting below was far away, so she couldn't see Gu Yan's appearance clearly at all, but felt that this prostitute was a little different from what she remembered.
With her current honor and favor, he recognized this prostitute!
The people sitting below had different thoughts, but Gu Yan only dared to lower his eyes to look at the tablecloth on the table, as if he wanted to carefully study the principle of the pattern on the tablecloth and how to weave it.
Lu Niaoyao looked funny at the side, held Gu Yan's hand under the desk case, and gently scratched her palm: "Why, nervous?"
Gu Yan took a look at Lu Niao, and nodded slightly:
"Your Highness, why do I feel that they are all looking at me, I am a little scared..."
Sitting at the side, Lu Niaoyao looked magnificent from outsiders. She pursed her lips and smiled: "So what, they can't see you clearly anyway. As usual, just do what you want.
The dim sum on the table today is specially prepared by the Imperial Dining Room, it will not be too sweet, just try it. "
Probably because Lu Niaoyou's voice felt so secure, the tension in Gu Yan's heart was relieved all of a sudden: "I, I will listen to Your Highness."
While talking, Gu Yan pinched a piece of pastry and took a small bite into her mouth. The sweet taste bloomed on the tip of her tongue, which made her bend her eyes in a good mood.
"It's delicious, it's Your Highness, this cake is a bit too sweet, I dare not eat too sweet..."
Lu Yanyou shook her head, with a smile on her face, and squinted at Gu Yan: "Are you happy if you don't eat it? If you like it, eat more, it's okay. You said before that you didn't get sick. Wait until later When you grow up, I'll explain it to you again."
Hearing what Lu Niao said, Gu Yan could only nod obediently:
"it is good."
But he ground his teeth secretly. His Highness always said that he would explain to himself when he grows up, but when will he grow up?
Gu Yan sighed inwardly, then looked at the delicious-looking pastries in different shapes on the table, turned grief and indignation into appetite, and put them into the mouth one by one, Lu Yanyou smiled and did not stop her .
At this time, a song and dance had just stopped, Emperor Guang smiled and said some scene words, and the foreign envoys below began their tribute.
"His Majesty the Emperor Dayu, we come from the distant grape country. We have heard about the vast land and resources of Dayu for a long time. Today, we want to exchange information with you and spread the richness of Dayu to the entire continent."
The envoy from the foreign land spoke his purpose of coming in Da Yu's stuttering words. His respectful attitude and the temptation to spread his fame throughout the whole continent made Emperor Guang and all the ministers involuntarily smile.
And Lu Niao looked at the foreign envoy with a half-smile:
"May I ask this envoy of the Portuguese country, how do you plan to make Dayu's wealth famous in the whole continent?"
The envoy of the Portuguese country lowered his head and said respectfully after hearing Lu Niaoyou's words: "I plan to write a biography of all the things I saw and heard during the Dayu period in the future, and spread it throughout the entire continent, so that the countries on the other side of the ocean will also know about Dayu. of abundance."
"is it?"
"Of course, Your Highness, I have seen and heard all kinds of rare things since I came here, including the flat concrete road when we entered the capital. It's all the same, strange like a fairyland.
I want to enjoy the prosperity of Dayu together with the people in the mainland! "
"Good! Reward!"
Emperor Guang was elated by what the envoy of the Portuguese country said, so he directly called for a reward.
Seeing that Emperor Guang had spoken, Lu Niao was naturally unwilling to dismantle Emperor Guang's position, so she just lowered her head and took a sip of her wine, then stopped talking.
The envoy of the Portuguese Kingdom saw that Lu Niaoyou no longer paid attention to him, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He thought of that beautiful face just now, and the scene when he asked the majestic question.
I just feel that the woman in the gorgeous dress is like a fairy sitting on the cloud, making people want to kneel down and prostrate on the ground to kiss her toes.
However, although Dayu's princess can't help but feel admiration, but the important thing to do is still to be done. After receiving the reward, the envoy of the Portuguese country continued: "In order to show our respect for His Majesty Emperor Dayu, your Respected, Dayu and I have prepared an offering this time, please accept it.”
The envoys of the Portuguese country clapped their hands, and saw that the gifts that had been prepared were brought up on trays one by one by their people. The envoys of the Portuguese country walked by one by one, and lifted the red cloths on them one by one.
The first thing to bear the brunt is a piece of white jade that is as creamy as xinli. The white jade has been completely untied, and the whole piece is placed there with a height of half a meter, which is enough for two heads.
However, if such a large and pure jade material is made into jewelry, it would be a bit of a waste. It is better to let a skilled craftsman make an ornament according to the grain of the jade in order to maintain the perfection of the jade.
At the back is a precious and peculiar ivory carving ornament. The person who did not know where the envoy found made it look like a miniature carving, which is extraordinarily delicate.
The scene of the night banquet is engraved there. If you look carefully, you can even see the joy, anger, sorrow and joy on everyone's face.
Emperor Guang asked people to take the ivory carving closer and have a closer look. After a while, he moved his eyes away: "This carver is really excellent! There are also ivory carvings among the tributes sent up below, but they are not as fine as this one, not bad! "
The envoys of the Portuguese country were beautiful jade and ivory carvings, and in the end they brought up many rare treasures again. Lu Niaoyou only lowered his head and talked to Gu Yan from time to time, without even looking up.
This made the Portuguese envoy who had been watching her secretly frown, this Princess Dayu really had a very high vision.
It wasn't until the treasures like flowing water were almost presented that the envoy of the Portuguese country took out the last thing: "This is a strange tree we encountered on the way to Dayu. The locals call it It is a tree that can shed tears, I asked the locals specifically, and now I dedicate this strange tree to His Majesty the Emperor."
Emperor Guang was not interested in this kind of strange tree, but now Lu Niao finally raised her head to look at the so-called tree that could shed tears. She held Gu Yan's hand and couldn't help but tighten it slightly.
Perhaps Lu Niaolong's gaze stayed on it for a long time, and even Emperor Guang noticed it: "Why, Qinghe likes this tree, so someone will send this tree to Qinghe's mansion!"
Without further ado, Emperor Guang gave the tree to Lu Niaoyou. Lu Niao smiled slightly, then looked down at the envoy and asked casually, "Where did you find this tree? Have you asked the local people?" What is the magical effect of how people plant it, is it possible that it will only shed tears?"
Originally Emperor Guang's lack of interest in the tree made the envoy feel uneasy, but now hearing Lu Niaoyou's questioning, the envoy let out a sigh of relief: "If you go back to the princess, this tree that can cry is It was found in a small country on the border of Dayu, this tree seems to have been growing there all the time, the locals only think that it is troublesome to cry after being injured, and they don’t use it very much, so I can’t answer your Highness’s question.”
Lu Niaoyou nodded dispensably, and secretly prepared to go down, so she investigated the envoy's route and tried to find the source of the tree.
After all, this is the famous rubber tree. Think about how many rubber products are there in modern times? !
So, a seemingly unremarkable dinner party was actually the most critical dinner party in history. With the end of the envoy's offering, the curtain officially kicked off, followed by delicious wine and food like flowing water. The ground was brought up.
And at this moment, the ancient plum behind the curtain finally came into play. The so-called weeping tree, she knew at a glance that it was a rubber tree.
It's just that she doesn't have much research on rubber. No matter how strange it is, in this country, as long as you have good cooking skills, you can gain a foothold.
After Emperor Guang gave the banquet, after everyone moved their chopsticks, they asked the chef to come up to give a speech as usual.
Because of Gu Mei's special dishes, she was arranged to be the finale. Before that, Gu Mei had been staring at the two people in the second seat, wishing that her eyes would be ignited and burn them instantly.
"Miss Gu, it's your turn."
Gu Mei followed the maid and walked towards the field. She looked at the dark heads and swallowed, her trembling calves tensed immediately.
She licked her dry lips, looked at the graceful and radiant figure on the second seat, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her lips, your brilliance is over, Princess Qinghe!
"The daughter of Chen Nu Zhen Bei Hou, today I specially dedicate this "Four Seas Peace" to Your Majesty. May the Dayu World be peaceful, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe."
As a result, as soon as Gu Mei finished speaking, a court lady shuttled between the seats like flowing water, and boarded a porcelain plate with all kinds of seafood, which exuded bursts of mouth-watering fragrance.
The envoy of the Portuguese country stared at the delicious seafood on the plate, "This scent is so wonderful!! I never thought that there would be such a superb craft in Dayu's kingdom." chef!
I don't know how I might know how this dish is made? "
Emperor Guang stroked his beard and laughed, feeling that Gu Mei had given him a lot of face in front of the envoys, and secretly decided in his heart, this time, give her another reward.
After all, it was always a joke to reward people with honor.
But Lu Niaoyou almost burst out laughing when she saw it, isn't this the seafood barbecue in the modern night market?
Grilled oysters, grilled scallops, grilled squid, fried sixties, four kinds of cheap night market delicacies made the envoy treat them as rare treasures.
It seems that the delicacies of my Heavenly Kingdom, especially those from the night market stalls, are all delicacies that can stand the test of state banquets!
Lu Niao looked at the food in front of her, raised her chin with great interest and looked at the shocked expression of the envoy below, she didn't speak, but she didn't expect that a fire was about to burn herself.
Emperor Guang came up with the idea to appreciate the ancient plums, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Gumei's coquettish operation came: "In the peace of the four seas, the ministers used four kinds of ingredients from the deep sea. I have heard that Princess Qinghe Your Highness has a lot of insights into food, and it can be said that you have a golden tongue. You can tell what kind of cooking method is used in this dish and what kind of seasonings are put in it. confused."
Lu Niaolong: ...
She said how Gumei's dishes tasted weird before, without any modern condiments, so she was waiting for her here.
If the original owner was sitting here, I'm afraid he would be ashamed and angry when he heard Gu Mei's words?
After all, there are a lot of modern condiments in it, and this is not answered by the experience gained by the original owner after tasting all kinds of flavors.
Seeing that Lu Niaoyou didn't speak for a while, Gu Mei couldn't help but deepen the smile on her face. She bowed her waist and bowed her knees to pay everyone's attention to Lu Niaoyou. Let me explain to you all!"
After hearing Gu Mei's words, Emperor Guang originally thought there was nothing wrong with it, but he realized it after a while.
Isn't the reason why this ancient plum can stay with her for so long is the mysterious seasoning she got by chance?
And this mysterious seasoning can't even be tasted by himself, how can Qinghe know? !
This ancient plum is deliberately embarrassing Qinghe!
However, how dare she, a mere concubine from Zhenbeihou's mansion, have such courage? Who is she relying on?Is it the Lin family behind her, or the queen? !
Thinking of this, Emperor Guang couldn't help turning pale, looking at the empty Phoenix Seat beside him because the queen said she was ill, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Afterwards, Emperor Guang suppressed the anger rising in his heart, and now he still has to take care of Qinghe for the present.
Although she didn't say anything about this girl, she knew that she was very proud. After losing such a big person this time, she would definitely not want to appear in front of others in the future.
But just when Emperor Guang was about to make a sound to smooth things over, he found that Lu Niao moved.
Lu Niao is wearing the clothes specially made by the first princess today, a wide-sleeved gown, black and red intertwined, looking quite majestic.
At this moment, she was sitting in front of the table. Under the table, Gu Yan grabbed Lu Niaoyou's sleeve worriedly. Lu Niaoyou only smiled slightly, then raised her plain hand, picked up the jade chopsticks, added a piece of squid and put it in her mouth. After savoring it for a while, he said: "The soft fish is grilled, and the sauce made from the red fruit of the Western Regions is added. During the roasting process, benzo fennel powder, five-spice powder, salt and pepper and other mixed powders are sprinkled."
Gu Mei hadn't heard of that fennel at all, and seeing Lu Niaoyou's calm look, she just wanted to tear apart that calm arrogance.
Gu Mei lowered her gloomy eyes, she pursed her lips, and continued to ask: "Dare to ask what the anise fennel Her Royal Highness is talking about. Could it be that Your Highness randomly picked up a name to fool us?"
"You are presumptuous!" Emperor Guang patted the arm of the chair fiercely, staring at Gu Mei coldly, as if looking at a dead person.
Gu Mei had no way to retreat at this moment, and she didn't want to retreat either. She stood where she was, staring at Lu Niaoyao fiercely, wanting to wait for Lu Niaoyiao's answer.
Seeing that Lu Niaoyou didn't speak, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she opened her lips to continue talking.
And Lu Youyou seemed to know what she wanted to do. She glanced at her with a half-smile, and then parted her red lips slightly, saying calmly, "And the resting fennel in it comes from the Western Regions, and is also known as fennel." Of course."
When Gu Mei heard Lu Niaoyou's words, she felt as if cold water was pouring from the top of her head. She couldn't help but her lips trembled, and she took a step back.
She actually knew, so did she also come from the same place as me?
That's right, if she didn't come from the same place as her, how would she know about things like cement? !
It's all because I carelessly listened to what she said to the outside world, what Yun Shoufu's notes, if Yun Shoufu really had this note, wouldn't it have been taken out long ago in order to become famous all over the world? !
She, she, is very good!
Gu Mei clenched her teeth, her complexion was pale, and she wanted to retreat, but with so many eyes staring at her, she could only stand in place against the bead of sweat on her forehead.
She was desperately thinking about countermeasures, staring at Lu Youyou with trembling lips, and kept saying, "No, no, all these are just names you made up! Your Royal Highness, what evidence do you have? You have no evidence!"
When Zhenbeihou heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He left his seat and knelt down to plead guilty to Emperor Guangdi, and yelled in a low voice, "Mei'er, shut up!"
And Gu Mei was stupefied right now, bloodshot eyes popped out of her eyes, and she stared straight at Lu Nianiao.
She wanted to ruin Lu Niao's reputation, and she wanted to go crazy, so she didn't realize that Lu Niao's tone of voice was wrong when she said cumin.
At this moment, the envoy picked up a piece of grilled squid, chewed it in his mouth, and then opened his eyes suddenly: "It really is cumin! Your Royal Highness, you are really knowledgeable, and we are just traveling to and from Dayu." On the way, I saw this seasoning in the Western Regions.
The locals used to grill meat with it, but they never grilled seafood, so we didn't recognize it for a while, but we really admire His Highness's extensive knowledge! "
The words of the foreign envoy were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Gu Mei suddenly slumped on the ground as if her bones had been pulled out, yet someone knew about it, and he had seen it before!
Seeing Gu Mei's discouraged appearance, everyone immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help but look at Gu Mei with anger.
She actually wanted to embarrass the princess of a country, and she was embarrassing in front of the envoys from other lands. Where would Dayu's national prestige be placed? !
After hearing what the envoy said, the expression on Emperor Guang's face turned from anger to joy, and he glanced at Lu Youyou with admiration: "My father never knew that my son was so knowledgeable, he really deserves to be my Princess Dayu! Okay, okay Extremely!!"
Hearing what Emperor Guang said, Lu Niao stood up unhurriedly, and saluted politely. The majesty of the princess of the great country was vividly displayed on her body.
Afterwards, Lu Niaoyou introduced the other seafood in front of her softly and convincingly, only to hear everyone's amazement.
As for Gumei who was spread out in the middle, and Zhenbeihou who was kneeling on the ground, no one paid any attention to them, even though they were so embarrassed right now that they wanted to find a place to get in.
Even though there were some twists and turns, the dinner ended smoothly.
After that, on the day of the banquet, Emperor Guang sent the decree from the palace to Zhenbei Hou Mansion as soon as he arrived.
This time, Zhenbei Hou was directly deprived of all his rights, and only had an empty name, which was the result of Lu Niaoyou's persuasion to persuade Emperor Guang to give Gu Yan a high status.
As for Gu Mei, Emperor Guang didn't punish her, he just made her not have to present food in the future.
But this one alone has cut off all Gu Mei's escape routes. When she returned to Zhenbeihou's mansion, she was directly dealt with by Zhenbeihou's family law, beaten all over her body, and imprisoned in the small Buddhist hall?
Before the turmoil of this matter is resolved, she cannot step out of the small Buddhist hall.
How can a cold and lonely small Buddhist hall heal wounds, but it will only make the wounds spread and aggravate.
Gu Mei lay on the cold cushion, staring straight at the sky outside the small Buddhist hall with her eyes.
It wasn't until the doors and windows of the Small Buddha Hall were tightly closed that she fell into a dead silence. After a while, her eyes like stagnant water moved.
Emperor Guang, Princess Qinghe, I will not let you go!
Gu Mei thought that she had been prepared a long time ago, and she didn't know whether she should use it or not, so she finally decided to take it out.
Since she can't enjoy the glory and wealth, let everyone fall into the quagmire with her.
The king of a country has become a lunatic, will he still love his princess like that?
Will this country still be what it is now?
All the people who don't make themselves feel better don't need to exist!
Scarlet madness flashed in Gu Mei's eyes. Outside the window, there was a sudden thunderclap that woke her up. In the end, she stared at the window with faint light, and laughed "Hehe", as long as she didn't die...
The foreign envoys came and left quickly, and not long after they left, Lu Youyou and Emperor Guang had a secret talk in Qinzheng Palace, and left Beijing with Gu Yan.
For some reason, the sudden arrival of envoys from foreign lands made Lu Niaoyou feel extremely uneasy, and Dayu's stability over the years had already weakened Dayu's troops, and many soldiers would be disarmed and returned to the fields.
And those families of military generals who were once highly respected, like the Han family, have gradually gone downhill. Among their children, there are no young people, and some even abandon literature and pursue martial arts. The huge Dayu can't find a single general.
And all of this, after Lu Niaolong's investigation, she saw it in her eyes and kept it in her heart.
If a powerful enemy invades in the near future, Dayu will be in danger!
Now that I have come to this country, I must do my best for her peace.
Lu Niaoyao and Gu Yan have been away for two years. At her age, ordinary daughters have already married and had children, and Emperor Guang can only immerse himself in missing his daughter all day long.
Fortunately, although Lu Niao is not in the capital, he always misses Emperor Guang. The letters and gifts are sent every one or two months, so Emperor Guang doesn't feel anxious and urges Eunuch Zhang to arrest him.
But this time, what Lu Niaoyou sent to Emperor Guang was a bed, a Simmons with springs.
Lying on the Simmons, Emperor Guang felt that it was so soft that it was much more comfortable than sleeping on a babu bed covered with soft feather cushions. This person is old and sleeps on a wooden bed that is too hard, and he always feels pain here. That hurts.
Eunuch Zhang laughed, watching Guangdi bake pancakes back and forth on the bed like a child who has acquired something new: "Your Highness really misses His Majesty in his heart, and he has only given so many things to His Majesty after he has only been out for two years.
Knowing that His Majesty likes to barbecue and likes to hunt, he sent anti-abrasive and non-slip rubber-soaked gloves, waterproof rubber shoes, and light raincoats in front of him. All kinds of gadgets, I really keep His Majesty in mind.
This time, I don't know what His Highness has researched, and he sent such a big bed. How can His Majesty sleep comfortably? "
"Comfortable, comfortable!"
Emperor Guang said cheerfully.
And Lu Niaoyou, whom Emperor Guang had always thought about, was drinking hot cocoa with Gu Yan in a house in a town in the southernmost part of Dayu.
Even though it was already Dayu's cold winter, the two of them were still wearing light summer clothes, drinking steaming hot drinks, and talking leisurely: "Your Highness should go back after being out for so long, His Majesty must be thinking about you. "
Towards evening, the dinner to welcome foreign envoys officially began.
The setting sun was setting to the west, but the huge Changqing Palace was already brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly.
The one who sits at the top is Emperor Guang, and the next one is Lu Niao, and because of the invitation of Lu Niao, Gu Yan sits at the top with Lu Niao, and temporarily let the people below People can't see her expression clearly.
But with her status, being able to sit in the second seat is enough to make people envious and jealous.
Among them is Gumei. Emperor Guang raised these cooks, just like ordinary rich and noble families raise those Le Ji. Whoever is good will be rewarded.
Gu Mei was standing behind the side hall covered by a layer of gauze curtains, looking at the figure sitting upright in the second seat in the brightly lit room.
That thin figure and familiar facial features made her hate like claws scratching her heart. In the past, this person was prostrate at her feet, allowing herself to be bullied by her, but...
Gu Mei gritted her teeth in hatred, while Zhenbeihou sitting below was far away, so she couldn't see Gu Yan's appearance clearly at all, but felt that this prostitute was a little different from what she remembered.
With her current honor and favor, he recognized this prostitute!
The people sitting below had different thoughts, but Gu Yan only dared to lower his eyes to look at the tablecloth on the table, as if he wanted to carefully study the principle of the pattern on the tablecloth and how to weave it.
Lu Niaoyao looked funny at the side, held Gu Yan's hand under the desk case, and gently scratched her palm: "Why, nervous?"
Gu Yan took a look at Lu Niao, and nodded slightly:
"Your Highness, why do I feel that they are all looking at me, I am a little scared..."
Sitting at the side, Lu Niaoyao looked magnificent from outsiders. She pursed her lips and smiled: "So what, they can't see you clearly anyway. As usual, just do what you want.
The dim sum on the table today is specially prepared by the Imperial Dining Room, it will not be too sweet, just try it. "
Probably because Lu Niaoyou's voice felt so secure, the tension in Gu Yan's heart was relieved all of a sudden: "I, I will listen to Your Highness."
While talking, Gu Yan pinched a piece of pastry and took a small bite into her mouth. The sweet taste bloomed on the tip of her tongue, which made her bend her eyes in a good mood.
"It's delicious, it's Your Highness, this cake is a bit too sweet, I dare not eat too sweet..."
Lu Yanyou shook her head, with a smile on her face, and squinted at Gu Yan: "Are you happy if you don't eat it? If you like it, eat more, it's okay. You said before that you didn't get sick. Wait until later When you grow up, I'll explain it to you again."
Hearing what Lu Niao said, Gu Yan could only nod obediently:
"it is good."
But he ground his teeth secretly. His Highness always said that he would explain to himself when he grows up, but when will he grow up?
Gu Yan sighed inwardly, then looked at the delicious-looking pastries in different shapes on the table, turned grief and indignation into appetite, and put them into the mouth one by one, Lu Yanyou smiled and did not stop her .
At this time, a song and dance had just stopped, Emperor Guang smiled and said some scene words, and the foreign envoys below began their tribute.
"His Majesty the Emperor Dayu, we come from the distant grape country. We have heard about the vast land and resources of Dayu for a long time. Today, we want to exchange information with you and spread the richness of Dayu to the entire continent."
The envoy from the foreign land spoke his purpose of coming in Da Yu's stuttering words. His respectful attitude and the temptation to spread his fame throughout the whole continent made Emperor Guang and all the ministers involuntarily smile.
And Lu Niao looked at the foreign envoy with a half-smile:
"May I ask this envoy of the Portuguese country, how do you plan to make Dayu's wealth famous in the whole continent?"
The envoy of the Portuguese country lowered his head and said respectfully after hearing Lu Niaoyou's words: "I plan to write a biography of all the things I saw and heard during the Dayu period in the future, and spread it throughout the entire continent, so that the countries on the other side of the ocean will also know about Dayu. of abundance."
"is it?"
"Of course, Your Highness, I have seen and heard all kinds of rare things since I came here, including the flat concrete road when we entered the capital. It's all the same, strange like a fairyland.
I want to enjoy the prosperity of Dayu together with the people in the mainland! "
"Good! Reward!"
Emperor Guang was elated by what the envoy of the Portuguese country said, so he directly called for a reward.
Seeing that Emperor Guang had spoken, Lu Niao was naturally unwilling to dismantle Emperor Guang's position, so she just lowered her head and took a sip of her wine, then stopped talking.
The envoy of the Portuguese Kingdom saw that Lu Niaoyou no longer paid attention to him, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He thought of that beautiful face just now, and the scene when he asked the majestic question.
I just feel that the woman in the gorgeous dress is like a fairy sitting on the cloud, making people want to kneel down and prostrate on the ground to kiss her toes.
However, although Dayu's princess can't help but feel admiration, but the important thing to do is still to be done. After receiving the reward, the envoy of the Portuguese country continued: "In order to show our respect for His Majesty Emperor Dayu, your Respected, Dayu and I have prepared an offering this time, please accept it.”
The envoys of the Portuguese country clapped their hands, and saw that the gifts that had been prepared were brought up on trays one by one by their people. The envoys of the Portuguese country walked by one by one, and lifted the red cloths on them one by one.
The first thing to bear the brunt is a piece of white jade that is as creamy as xinli. The white jade has been completely untied, and the whole piece is placed there with a height of half a meter, which is enough for two heads.

Emperor Guang was not interested in this kind of strange tree, but now Lu Niao finally raised her head to look at the so-called tree that could shed tears. She held Gu Yan's hand and couldn't help but tighten it slightly.
Perhaps Lu Niaolong's gaze stayed on it for a long time, and even Emperor Guang noticed it: "Why, Qinghe likes this tree, so someone will send this tree to Qinghe's mansion!"
Without further ado, Emperor Guang gave the tree to Lu Niaoyou. Lu Niao smiled slightly, then looked down at the envoy and asked casually, "Where did you find this tree? Have you asked the local people?" What is the magical effect of how people plant it, is it possible that it will only shed tears?"
Originally Emperor Guang's lack of interest in the tree made the envoy feel uneasy, but now hearing Lu Niaoyou's questioning, the envoy let out a sigh of relief: "If you go back to the princess, this tree that can cry is It was found in a small country on the border of Dayu, this tree seems to have been growing there all the time, the locals only think that it is troublesome to cry after being injured, and they don’t use it very much, so I can’t answer your Highness’s question.”

Gu Mei followed the maid and walked towards the field. She looked at the dark heads and swallowed, her trembling calves tensed immediately.
She licked her dry lips, looked at the graceful and radiant figure on the second seat, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her lips, your brilliance is over, Princess Qinghe!
"The daughter of Chen Nu Zhen Bei Hou, today I specially dedicate this "Four Seas Peace" to Your Majesty. May the Dayu World be peaceful, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe."
As a result, as soon as Gu Mei finished speaking, a court lady shuttled between the seats like flowing water, and boarded a porcelain plate with all kinds of seafood, which exuded bursts of mouth-watering fragrance.
The envoy of the Portuguese country stared at the delicious seafood on the plate, "This scent is so wonderful!! I never thought that there would be such a superb craft in Dayu's kingdom." chef!
I don't know how I might know how this dish is made? "
Emperor Guang stroked his beard and laughed, feeling that Gu Mei had given him a lot of face in front of the envoys, and secretly decided in his heart, this time, give her another reward.
After all, it was always a joke to reward people with honor.
But Lu Niaoyou almost burst out laughing when she saw it, isn't this the seafood barbecue in the modern night market?
Grilled oysters, grilled scallops, grilled squid, fried sixties, four kinds of cheap night market delicacies made the envoy treat them as rare treasures.
It seems that the delicacies of my Heavenly Kingdom, especially those from the night market stalls, are all delicacies that can stand the test of state banquets!
Lu Niao looked at the food in front of her, raised her chin with great interest and looked at the shocked expression of the envoy below, she didn't speak, but she didn't expect that a fire was about to burn herself.
Emperor Guang came up with the idea to appreciate the ancient plums, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Gumei's coquettish operation came: "In the peace of the four seas, the ministers used four kinds of ingredients from the deep sea. I have heard that Princess Qinghe Your Highness has a lot of insights into food, and it can be said that you have a golden tongue. You can tell what kind of cooking method is used in this dish and what kind of seasonings are put in it. confused."
Lu Niaolong: ...
She said how Gumei's dishes tasted weird before, without any modern condiments, so she was waiting for her here.
If the original owner was sitting here, I'm afraid he would be ashamed and angry when he heard Gu Mei's words?
After all, there are a lot of modern condiments in it, and this is not answered by the experience gained by the original owner after tasting all kinds of flavors.
Seeing that Lu Niaoyou didn't speak for a while, Gu Mei couldn't help but deepen the smile on her face. She bowed her waist and bowed her knees to pay everyone's attention to Lu Niaoyou. Let me explain to you all!"
After hearing Gu Mei's words, Emperor Guang originally thought there was nothing wrong with it, but he realized it after a while.
Isn't the reason why this ancient plum can stay with her for so long is the mysterious seasoning she got by chance?
And this mysterious seasoning can't even be tasted by himself, how can Qinghe know? !
This ancient plum is deliberately embarrassing Qinghe!
However, how dare she, a mere concubine from Zhenbeihou's mansion, have such courage? Who is she relying on?Is it the Lin family behind her, or the queen? !
Thinking of this, Emperor Guang couldn't help turning pale, looking at the empty Phoenix Seat beside him because the queen said she was ill, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Afterwards, Emperor Guang suppressed the anger rising in his heart, and now he still has to take care of Qinghe for the present.
Although she didn't say anything about this girl, she knew that she was very proud. After losing such a big person this time, she would definitely not want to appear in front of others in the future.
But just when Emperor Guang was about to make a sound to smooth things over, he found that Lu Niao moved.
Lu Niao is wearing the clothes specially made by the first princess today, a wide-sleeved gown, black and red intertwined, looking quite majestic.
At this moment, she was sitting in front of the table. Under the table, Gu Yan grabbed Lu Niaoyou's sleeve worriedly. Lu Niaoyou only smiled slightly, then raised her plain hand, picked up the jade chopsticks, added a piece of squid and put it in her mouth. After savoring it for a while, he said: "The soft fish is grilled, and the sauce made from the red fruit of the Western Regions is added. During the roasting process, benzo fennel powder, five-spice powder, salt and pepper and other mixed powders are sprinkled."
Gu Mei hadn't heard of that fennel at all, and seeing Lu Niaoyou's calm look, she just wanted to tear apart that calm arrogance.
Gu Mei lowered her gloomy eyes, she pursed her lips, and continued to ask: "Dare to ask what the anise fennel Her Royal Highness is talking about. Could it be that Your Highness randomly picked up a name to fool us?"
"You are presumptuous!" Emperor Guang patted the arm of the chair fiercely, staring at Gu Mei coldly, as if looking at a dead person.
Gu Mei had no way to retreat at this moment, and she didn't want to retreat either. She stood where she was, staring at Lu Niaoyao fiercely, wanting to wait for Lu Niaoyiao's answer.
Seeing that Lu Niaoyou didn't speak, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she opened her lips to continue talking.
And Lu Youyou seemed to know what she wanted to do. She glanced at her with a half-smile, and then parted her red lips slightly, saying calmly, "And the resting fennel in it comes from the Western Regions, and is also known as fennel." Of course."
When Gu Mei heard Lu Niaoyou's words, she felt as if cold water was pouring from the top of her head. She couldn't help but her lips trembled, and she took a step back.
She actually knew, so did she also come from the same place as me?
That's right, if she didn't come from the same place as her, how would she know about things like cement? !
It's all because I carelessly listened to what she said to the outside world, what Yun Shoufu's notes, if Yun Shoufu really had this note, wouldn't it have been taken out long ago in order to become famous all over the world? !
She, she, is very good!
Gu Mei clenched her teeth, her complexion was pale, and she wanted to retreat, but with so many eyes staring at her, she could only stand in place against the bead of sweat on her forehead.
She was desperately thinking about countermeasures, staring at Lu Youyou with trembling lips, and kept saying, "No, no, all these are just names you made up! Your Royal Highness, what evidence do you have? You have no evidence!"
When Zhenbeihou heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He left his seat and knelt down to plead guilty to Emperor Guangdi, and yelled in a low voice, "Mei'er, shut up!"
And Gu Mei was stupefied right now, bloodshot eyes popped out of her eyes, and she stared straight at Lu Nianiao.
She wanted to ruin Lu Niao's reputation, and she wanted to go crazy, so she didn't realize that Lu Niao's tone of voice was wrong when she said cumin.
At this moment, the envoy picked up a piece of grilled squid, chewed it in his mouth, and then opened his eyes suddenly: "It really is cumin! Your Royal Highness, you are really knowledgeable, and we are just traveling to and from Dayu." On the way, I saw this seasoning in the Western Regions.
The locals used to grill meat with it, but they never grilled seafood, so we didn't recognize it for a while, but we really admire His Highness's extensive knowledge! "
The words of the foreign envoy were like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Gu Mei suddenly slumped on the ground as if her bones had been pulled out, yet someone knew about it, and he had seen it before!
Seeing Gu Mei's discouraged appearance, everyone immediately understood what was going on, and couldn't help but look at Gu Mei with anger.
She actually wanted to embarrass the princess of a country, and she was embarrassing in front of the envoys from other lands. Where would Dayu's national prestige be placed? !
After hearing what the envoy said, the expression on Emperor Guang's face turned from anger to joy, and he glanced at Lu Youyou with admiration: "My father never knew that my son was so knowledgeable, he really deserves to be my Princess Dayu! Okay, okay Extremely!!"
Hearing what Emperor Guang said, Lu Niao stood up unhurriedly, and saluted politely. The majesty of the princess of the great country was vividly displayed on her body.
Afterwards, Lu Niaoyou introduced the other seafood in front of her softly and convincingly, only to hear everyone's amazement.
As for Gumei who was spread out in the middle, and Zhenbeihou who was kneeling on the ground, no one paid any attention to them, even though they were so embarrassed right now that they wanted to find a place to get in.
Even though there were some twists and turns, the dinner ended smoothly.
After that, on the day of the banquet, Emperor Guang sent the decree from the palace to Zhenbei Hou Mansion as soon as he arrived.
This time, Zhenbei Hou was directly deprived of all his rights, and only had an empty name, which was the result of Lu Niaoyou's persuasion to persuade Emperor Guang to give Gu Yan a high status.
As for Gu Mei, Emperor Guang didn't punish her, he just made her not have to present food in the future.
But this one alone has cut off all Gu Mei's escape routes. When she returned to Zhenbeihou's mansion, she was directly dealt with by Zhenbeihou's family law, beaten all over her body, and imprisoned in the small Buddhist hall?
Before the turmoil of this matter is resolved, she cannot step out of the small Buddhist hall.
How can a cold and lonely small Buddhist hall heal wounds, but it will only make the wounds spread and aggravate.
Gu Mei lay on the cold cushion, staring straight at the sky outside the small Buddhist hall with her eyes.
It wasn't until the doors and windows of the Small Buddha Hall were tightly closed that she fell into a dead silence. After a while, her eyes like stagnant water moved.
Emperor Guang, Princess Qinghe, I will not let you go!
Gu Mei thought that she had been prepared a long time ago, and she didn't know whether she should use it or not, so she finally decided to take it out.
Since she can't enjoy the glory and wealth, let everyone fall into the quagmire with her.
The king of a country has become a lunatic, will he still love his princess like that?
Will this country still be what it is now?
All the people who don't make themselves feel better don't need to exist!
Scarlet madness flashed in Gu Mei's eyes. Outside the window, there was a sudden thunderclap that woke her up. In the end, she stared at the window with faint light, and laughed "Hehe", as long as she didn't die...
The foreign envoys came and left quickly, and not long after they left, Lu Youyou and Emperor Guang had a secret talk in Qinzheng Palace, and left Beijing with Gu Yan.
For some reason, the sudden arrival of envoys from foreign lands made Lu Niaoyou feel extremely uneasy, and Dayu's stability over the years had already weakened Dayu's troops, and many soldiers would be disarmed and returned to the fields.
And those families of military generals who were once highly respected, like the Han family, have gradually gone downhill. Among their children, there are no young people, and some even abandon literature and pursue martial arts. The huge Dayu can't find a single general.
And all of this, after Lu Niaolong's investigation, she saw it in her eyes and kept it in her heart.
If a powerful enemy invades in the near future, Dayu will be in danger!
Now that I have come to this country, I must do my best for her peace.
Lu Niaoyao and Gu Yan have been away for two years. At her age, ordinary daughters have already married and had children, and Emperor Guang can only immerse himself in missing his daughter all day long.
Fortunately, although Lu Niao is not in the capital, he always misses Emperor Guang. The letters and gifts are sent every one or two months, so Emperor Guang doesn't feel anxious and urges Eunuch Zhang to arrest him.
But this time, what Lu Niaoyou sent to Emperor Guang was a bed, a Simmons with springs.
Lying on the Simmons, Emperor Guang felt that it was so soft that it was much more comfortable than sleeping on a babu bed covered with soft feather cushions. This person is old and sleeps on a wooden bed that is too hard, and he always feels pain here. That hurts.
Eunuch Zhang laughed, watching Guangdi bake pancakes back and forth on the bed like a child who has acquired something new: "Your Highness really misses His Majesty in his heart, and he has only given so many things to His Majesty after he has only been out for two years.
Knowing that His Majesty likes to barbecue and likes to hunt, he sent anti-abrasive and non-slip rubber-soaked gloves, waterproof rubber shoes, and light raincoats in front of him. All kinds of gadgets, I really keep His Majesty in mind.
This time, I don't know what His Highness has researched, and he sent such a big bed. How can His Majesty sleep comfortably? "
"Comfortable, comfortable!"
Emperor Guang said cheerfully.
And Lu Niaoyou, whom Emperor Guang had always thought about, was drinking hot cocoa with Gu Yan in a house in a town in the southernmost part of Dayu.
Even though it was already Dayu's cold winter, the two of them were still wearing light summer clothes, drinking steaming hot drinks, and talking leisurely: "Your Highness should go back after being out for so long, His Majesty must be thinking about you. "
