The next day, while Lu Niaoyao and Gu Yan were preparing for today's conferment, they were talking, and at this moment a court lady stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, the county lord, the empress is already here Hua Dian has prepared a banquet, it's getting late, you see..."
"The banquet prepared by the empress?" Lu Niao asked suspiciously: "Isn't the empress always weak and sick? Why did the emperor ask the empress to organize this banquet this time?"
It's no wonder that Lu Niaoyou would ask such a question, the empress had always had no face in the palace before, and she was also very self-aware, unless it was necessary to appear on occasion, she would never complain about her illness.
Moreover, because she is about the same age as Princess Pingyang, but she is treated very differently from Princess Pingyang, don't mention how much she hates herself.
However, this time, the banquet that belonged to her conferment and reception was hosted by the queen, which in Lu Niaoyou's view was a grand banquet.
The maid hurriedly said:
"Your Highness doesn't know. In the past two years, the empress's body has been taken care of by the imperial physician, and the empress's body has been getting better and better. In addition, the empress's empress was hired as a cook before. Her Majesty liked the dishes she cooked very much, and even rewarded her several times, so..."
When Lu Niao heard this, she understood a little.
This is because the queen felt that she had regained her face, so she dared to go out to meet people, but it was just that some of the visitors were not kind.
Lu Niaoyou only asked one question, and did not say any more when he got the answer, but Gu Yan was keenly aware of the change in Lu Niaoyou's mood, and looked at Lu Niaoyou with some concern.
Lu Niao slightly shook her head, and asked someone to change herself and Gu Yan into formal dresses for the banquet, because Emperor Guang had ordered rewards for the two of them long ago, so these costumes were all prepared.
The measurements of both of them were obtained from Mulian Shuiyong when they went to pass on the decree last time, so Lu Niaoyao and Gu Yan felt that they were just right.
Dayu respected black and red, with black at the front and red at the back, so on special formal occasions, the emperor would wear a black robe, while the empress would wear a red dress.
The two are painted with dragons and phoenixes, other than that, there is no variegated color!
And the formal dress of Princess Zhenguo that Lu Niaoyao wore this time was covered with a large area of black, except for the cuffs dotted with a circle of red and a circle of dragon patterns on it, and on the back was a bright and dazzling dragon. The golden phoenix, there are eight small phoenixes flying around the golden phoenix, all embroidered with gold and silver threads, and it looks extraordinarily luxurious when illuminated by the light.
Gu Yan's county magistrate's uniform has more red areas, but Gu Yan's skin is fair, especially the red on the neckline, which makes her skin more radiant than snow.
The pitch-black crow hair was combed high, with a crown of twin phoenixes holding beads on it, and the bead in the middle was a top-quality oriental bead, round and full, with a radiance that made people blush and heartbeat.
The two wore special clothes and jewelry, as if they were different people.
It's all right for Lu Niao, she grew up in the royal family with dignity all over her body, and Gu Yan is even more amazing.
It doesn't make much sense to dress up in a dull manner on weekdays, but now that she is dressed up like this, she immediately becomes charming and charming, and she has a sullen little face, which makes her look quite dignified.
Delicate and charming, not angry but majestic, shining like the oriental pearl on her forehead, making people unable to move their eyes away.
Lu Niaoyou stared at it for a long time before she moved her eyes and smiled slightly: "That's right, it's beautiful."
Gu Yan's cheeks were flushed by this brief compliment, and her nonchalant and majestic energy immediately disappeared. She glanced at Lu Nianyou and smiled: "Your Highness is extraordinarily beautiful today than usual, which is heart-warming." fold."
Because it was in the palace, Lu Niaowei didn't tease Gu Yan, and smiled: "Today's banquet is more important, just follow me and see how I do it."
Lu Niao said so, but after getting along with Lu Niao for two years, how could Gu Yan not know what kind of person she was, who could make Lu Niao say such words, Gu Yan immediately became alert in his heart, but on the surface Buxian: "Yes, I will listen to Your Highness."
After leaving the palace, the two sat on the curtain one after the other. Gu Yan sat in the back, looking at the upright figure sitting in front with elegance, she lowered her eyes.
No matter what happens, she must protect His Highness well.
These years, staying alone with His Highness for two years is not in vain!Then Ah Da's martial arts is also good, and I even secretly learned a few hands from him.
Gu Yan had his own plan in mind, and Lu Niao was also thinking about what kind of tricks the queen would play today. When the two arrived at the banquet place, there were almost enough people coming, only Emperor Guang and the queen were left behind.
"I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Qinghe Township, and the Lord Haiyan County."
Lu Niaoyou nodded slightly and then called out, Gu Yan only followed behind Lu Niaoyou as the background board, and was not dissatisfied because his limelight was taken away, and Zhenbeihou who was not far away saw his extremely beautiful appearance The prostitute's daughter showed a bit of remorse and hesitated to speak on her face.
It's just that no matter what kind of friendship in the world, it takes time to maintain it. Zhenbeihou has never appeared in Gu Yan's growth in the first ten years. Maybe that cheap?
Gu Yan only glanced at him lightly, and she saw Zhen Beihou's expression in her eyes, but she didn't care about all of this at all, then she withdrew her gaze, as if she hadn't seen anything, followed Lu Niaoyou's footsteps, Go up.
Not knowing what the queen was thinking, she put the two seats facing each other. This time without His Royal Highness by her side, Gu Yan straightened her back, assuring herself that she would not show the slightest timidity.
Not long after the two sat down, Emperor Guang and the Empress came again.
In the end, everyone stood up and saluted again. After Emperor Guang sat down and called out, the banquet officially began. The opening ceremony was still a silk and bamboo dance.
After the dance was over, the atmosphere had almost heated up, and Emperor Guang then officially asked Eunuch Zhang to announce his will again, and the canonization ceremony was scheduled for half a month later.
After Emperor Guang waited for Eunuch Zhang to finish reading the imperial decree, he looked at Lu Niaoyou cheerfully: "I am the only girl who has accomplished both literary and martial arts, and has the legacy of Taizu. My son has made great achievements for Dayu this time. It's a reward, the position of the princess of the town is not as good as my son's achievements!"
Taizu was the founding emperor of Dayu, Emperor Guang's praise didn't mean how sour the concubines were, but every one of them had to show approval.
Afterwards, a group of important officials below also hurriedly got up and echoed:
"Her Royal Highness Princess Zhen Guo and Your Majesty are the father of a tiger and the daughter of a dog!"
"Extremely extreme, women do not give way to men! I admire you!"
"I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Zhen Guo has only been to Zhuzhou for less than two years, and has already tripled its tax revenue. It can be called my biggest hero, Dayu!"
The ministers flattered each other very well, and Lu Niao waited until they had finished speaking, then stood up and bowed to Emperor Guang: "Father, the emperor is absurd. As a princess of a country, now Just did what I was supposed to do.
Your lords should not praise Qinghe for these duties, otherwise Qinghe will be ashamed. "
Emperor Guang said hello, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly:
"This is the demeanor of my Princess Dayu! Besides, Qinghe is also good at teaching! Zhenbeihou, look at how well my Princess Qinghe teaches the daughter of your family?"
Zhenbei Hou was called by Emperor Guang, and he got up quickly and said:
"Your Highness is amazingly talented, and the little girl is wonderful by His Highness's side!"
Emperor Guang smiled half-smile:
"Really? I've heard Qinghe say that the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei is very talented, and she is quite insightful in these important matters that benefit the country and the people. If I train well, I'm afraid that I, Dayu, will only be better now."
Emperor Guang's words were clearly to blame Zhenbei Hou for not teaching his daughter-in-law properly.
When Zhenbei Hou was asked by Emperor Guang, he only felt that his face was burning badly, as if countless slaps had been slapped on his old face.
Your Majesty, does this mean that Gu Yan has earned everything by herself?
Then if he treats Gu Yan well, will Gu Yan also have his own share of all the honors that Gu Yan has now?
Zhenbeihou, who had figured all this out, really regretted it at this moment, but he looked at Gu Yan who was sitting high in the second seat, even though he felt regret in his heart, it was useless.
Emperor Guang thought about how excellent Gu Yan was that Lu Niao said in his letters in the past, and seeing Zhenbeihou getting more and more unpleasant, he praised Lu Niao and Gu Yan again.
At this time, the queen who was sitting on the side interjected with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, Qinghe is now so big and has become so outstanding. The concubine is really happy from the bottom of her heart. If the concubine's Pingyang With half of Qinghe, that concubine should be thankful!"
Emperor Guang looked up at the queen, and didn't want to embarrass the queen at such a banquet, so he just said lightly: "Pingyang is stubborn, you should teach it well, but, it's a pity that no one under my knees can go to the right of Qinghe !"
After hearing Emperor Guang's words, the queen's face was completely cracked, and she said in a nasty way: "Well, although Pingyang has a stubborn temper, he is obedient. It's been two years, I don't know if Pingyang might..."
What the queen meant at this moment was to imply that Lu Niaoyou had treated her sister harshly before, but she did not expect that before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Emperor Guang: "Since you know that Pingyang is stubborn, let her copy more Buddhist scriptures. I saw that Qinghe's original method was very good, and Pingyang has indeed stabilized in the past two years."
The queen's expression froze, and then she changed the subject stiffly: "Yes, my concubine is following His Majesty's will. Do you think it's time for the banquet now?"
Hearing what the queen said, Emperor Guang showed joy on his face, and then looked at Lu Niaoyou with a smile: "Qinghe, let's just watch today, I got a good cook recently, and the dishes I cook are extremely delicious. Want to eat!"
"Father has never eaten anything delicious in his life, but he admires it so much, this cook must be excellent."
"Of course, when did the emperor frame you?"
The father and daughter talked gossip as if no one else was around, and the queen on the side felt that she was being left out in an instant, and she couldn't help but sullen her face, but she also cared about Emperor Guang beside her, so she could only force herself to smile. Gu Yan, who was sitting on the other side, frowned involuntarily.
Although she had never been in contact with the queen, looking at the expression on the queen's face made Gu Yan faintly feel something wrong.
But at this moment, one after another delicious food came up like flowing water, and the aroma of delicious food instantly filled the air, and even faintly overwhelmed the incense in the hall.
Because he remembered Gu Mei's coquettish operation at the banquet to welcome foreign envoys, so Emperor Guang didn't ask the cook to introduce dishes this time.
Besides, these dishes are just some ordinary dishes, but I don't know how the cook can make the dishes so delicious.
Seeing that Emperor Guang's usual favorite routine was missing, Lu Niao could not help but smile warmly at Emperor Guang, seeing that Emperor Guang moved his chopsticks, she picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
The original owner has a golden tongue, this is not a lie.
But when the dish is in the mouth, the various seasonings and cooking techniques experienced will appear in the original master's mind, and at this time, as soon as the dish is in the mouth, Lu Niaoyou already knows how he cooks it.
But there is only one faint sour taste, which is covered by other flavors of the dishes, but it can be tasted finely.
sour...
Lu Niaoyou pondered for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Emperor Guang, only to find that Emperor Guang didn't seem to care about anything when he saw the dish, not even caring about his manners. The concubines and courtiers below couldn't help whispering after seeing it.
It was at this moment that Lu Niao realized that something was wrong. Even though Emperor Guang was wearing that dragon robe, he was terribly empty. He was sweating while eating, but his face was as white as paper. , looks like...
It's an addiction!
Lu Youyou only took a bite of the food, but didn't move his second chopsticks. Gu Yan watched Lu Youyou's movement, and added the food into his mouth, chewing it carefully without swallowing it.
"Spit it out."
Lu Niao looked at Gu Yan opposite him, made a mouth shape, Gu Yan shrank her eyes, and then nodded.
Seeing that Gu Yan knew what she meant, Lu Niao only half let go of her heart, and finally she looked up at Emperor Guang above: "Father, I don't know where the cook who is cooking the dishes today is. My son may see him for a while." See?"
Emperor Guang still had a sliver of consciousness at the moment, and nodded when he heard Lu Niaoyou's question: "Come here, bring the imperial chef up. Qinghe, you have a taste of this dish, it's not bad, if it's very good, father, today I will eat it." It is not in vain that he can make us so happy if he is sealed off for a while."
Lu Niao shook her head:
"Father, let's eat later, my son still has something to ask."
After listening to Lu Niaoyou's words, Emperor Guang had a greater desire to eat, but he had eaten a lot just now, and now the desire is not so strong, so he could hold back: "What did Qinghe discover? "
"Father will know in a while, and you will know in a while."
While Lu Niaoyao was talking, the imperial chef was brought up, as if he knew that he was appreciated by the Emperor Guang who had been particularly appreciative of him recently, he walked with his chest up and his head up, and even stood up hastily after saluting.
Seeing his rude appearance, Lu Niao directly threw a teacup at his hand: "My princess hasn't asked you to stand up yet!"
Emperor Guang didn't care about Lu Niaoyao losing his temper in front of him. He just thought it was the little girl's temper, and comforted him: "If Qinghe doesn't like the cooking of this imperial chef, let people punish him. You're going to be pissed off."
Only now did Lu Niaoyao show a cold smile on his face:
"Why did the father think that the son was angry? He is just a commoner. The father rewarded him for his craftsmanship, but he actually put something that shouldn't be in this dish. It's really audacious!"
After hearing Lu Niaoyou's words, Emperor Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said: "What shouldn't be put? What did he put?! Oh, why didn't I find out, and the eunuchs who tasted the food in front of the emperor are all fine!"
Lu Niaoyou pursed her lips:
"Father, the damage to the body caused by this thing has accumulated over time, if you don't believe it, you might as well go and find the eunuch Changshan to have a look.
As for what is in it...then why not ask the imperial chef to tell me!Who told you to instigate you? ! "
The imperial chef was originally a commoner, and because of his good craftsmanship, he was recommended to the palace after being appreciated by the nobles. At this moment, he was terrified, kneeling on the ground and trembling: "This grass-roots grass-folk is not ordered by anyone. Also, Your Majesty and Princess, please enlighten me!"
Looking at the man who was about to pee his pants in fright, Lu Yanyou guessed that he didn't know what was in it, so he asked directly: "Then is there any other ingredients in it besides the usual cooking?"
The imperial chef was reminded by Lu Niaoyao, and then he remembered that the nobleman gave it to him. According to legend, it was a special seasoning used by the concubine of Zhenbei Hou who was once very popular in the palace.
"Caomin remembered, yes..."
Just as the chef was speaking, he suddenly bled from his orifices. Before he died, he raised his finger and pointed to the queen who was sitting on top of him: "Emperor, empress, save..."
Yu Chu’s death was unsatisfactory, and Emperor Guang looked at the tragic death of Yu Chu below, his lips began to tremble with fright, and his face was pale: "Qing, Qinghe, just say it, so what did Yu Chu put in this dish?" What? Father, father can bear it!"
Lu Niao glanced at Emperor Guang, then looked around, and saw that the concubines and officials were also waiting eagerly.
That's right, Emperor Guang likes delicious food, and everyone in Dayu admires delicious food, and now even Emperor Guang has problems with the food here, let alone them?
Lu Niaolong took a deep breath and said slowly:
"It's Aphrodisiac. This kind of thing is not a local crop of Dayu, but has been introduced from a foreign land. The tree that can shed tears brought by the foreign envoys before, when my son went to a foreign country to investigate its origin, once I saw it by chance in a foreign country.
I heard from the locals that this substance has extremely high medicinal value, and it can relieve pain, relieve cough, and relieve diarrhea. "
"Since that's the case, Qinghe, why do you say that this is something that shouldn't be released?" Seeing that Lu Niaoyou said the truth about this thing, Emperor Guang already believed it in his heart, but it's not bad to hear it now.
Lu Niao shook her head:
"Father, let's call the eunuch who eats food and see it."
"pass."
Emperor Guang was puzzled and immediately asked someone to bring the Eunuch Changshan, Dayu Eunuch Changshan is a very good job, there are many people scrambling to come!
But at this moment, Emperor Guang looked at the shapeless appearance of the eunuch Changshan kneeling below, and was immediately startled.
How can you get to the master with such a description?
And the eunuch was brought off the stage, as if he smelled a familiar smell, he rushed forward regardless of his dignity, grabbed the food in front of Gu Yan's dining table and stuffed it into his mouth frantically, or was he pushed down by the guards later , but even so, he still stuck out his tongue to lick the dish soup that fell on the floor.
Looking at the appearance of the man below, a trace of disgust flashed in Lu Niaoyao's eyes, but this disgust was for that drug.
"This is the consequence of taking it for a long time and overdose."
As soon as Lu Niaoyou said this, the concubines and important officials below immediately started talking. Originally, several concubines felt that they had lost weight recently and were happy in their hearts. Now, after hearing Lu Niaoyou's words, they looked at the eunuch below and were terrified. trembling.
"Your Highness Your Highness, since you know about this thing, you should know how to treat it. Please help us, Your Highness!"
"His Highness, please help me!"
……
A group of concubines and officials below who suspected that they had been hit by drugs were crying, and Emperor Guang was already in a trance when he saw the eunuch below.
He thought about his sudden appetite for those ordinary dishes in recent days, and the appearance he always thought about when he couldn't eat them, whether one day he would become as skinny as that eunuch, and then... like a lunatic ?
"Qinghe, can this really be cured?"
Looking at Emperor Guang's appearance, Lu Niao sighed in her heart. People are afraid of death, even the once heroic father is like this.
However, since she can taste it and is willing to say it, it means that she can be cured, but the most urgent task is to catch the person behind it.
After all, among those concubines and important ministers, there are quite a few who suspect that they have taken drugs, so what is the intention of this person?
This drug is something from a foreign country, how could this thing be introduced into Dayu?
Lu Niaoliu nodded and gave everyone a reassurance: "This drug is just addictive, as long as you quit the addiction, you don't have to worry.
It's just that the top priority now is to find out the source of this thing, otherwise... how can I feel at ease? "
Emperor Guang came back to himself in a daze when he heard Lu Niaoyou say this: "That's right, that's right, it's time to check the source, then I'll leave this matter to you, Qinghe! If there is any connection, it will be handed over to Qinghe, father trusts your decision!"
Lu Niao stood up and saluted:
"My son takes orders."
However, when everyone was still panicking, bad news came from outside.
"Report—Your Majesty, the Di people invaded and lost nine cities in a row on the border! Now the general Guo Yu, the general guarding the border, has died, please make a decision!"
When Emperor Guang heard the bad news, his body became weak all of a sudden, and he collapsed directly on the dragon chair.
This, all this is a conspiracy of the Gentiles!
Lu Niaoniao didn't expect that the bad premonition in her heart should come at this moment.
The person who introduces A Furong to Dayu will be punished!
However, seeing that many of the ministers in the court have already suspected that they have contracted drugs, and the family of the military generals is withered, and the military generals are not accepted. At this time, fighting... is a dead end!
Emperor Guang sat for a while before finally calming down.
The most urgent task now is to dispatch troops to the digital border as soon as possible, and the security of the border will ensure the security of the country.
But Emperor Guang calmed down, and when he thought about it carefully, he found that he had no generals in his hands at this moment.
He looked at the sky with fluttering eyes, could it be that Dayu was about to perish in his own hands? !
no, I can not.
He also has children, but now the only ones who are approaching adulthood are Lu Niaoyou, Princess Pingyang and the Fifth Prince.
Here, the fifth prince is a well-deserved successor, but Emperor Guang immediately rejected this idea when he thought of his cowardly and stupid temperament.
If Dayu was handed over to him, it would really be over.
As for Pingyang, although he has the Queen's support, but not to mention her temper, this matter must have something to do with the Queen, and he will never choose her.
Now... Guangdi glanced at Lu Niaoyou who was sitting beside him with a gloomy face and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures. He sighed in his heart, after all, he still had to hand over this burden to Qinghe.
"According to my decree, from now on, the Princess of Qinghe Township will be crowned as the Empress Dowager to supervise the country on my behalf."
"The banquet prepared by the empress?" Lu Niao asked suspiciously: "Isn't the empress always weak and sick? Why did the emperor ask the empress to organize this banquet this time?"
It's no wonder that Lu Niaoyou would ask such a question, the empress had always had no face in the palace before, and she was also very self-aware, unless it was necessary to appear on occasion, she would never complain about her illness.
Moreover, because she is about the same age as Princess Pingyang, but she is treated very differently from Princess Pingyang, don't mention how much she hates herself.
However, this time, the banquet that belonged to her conferment and reception was hosted by the queen, which in Lu Niaoyou's view was a grand banquet.
The maid hurriedly said:
"Your Highness doesn't know. In the past two years, the empress's body has been taken care of by the imperial physician, and the empress's body has been getting better and better. In addition, the empress's empress was hired as a cook before. Her Majesty liked the dishes she cooked very much, and even rewarded her several times, so..."
When Lu Niao heard this, she understood a little.
This is because the queen felt that she had regained her face, so she dared to go out to meet people, but it was just that some of the visitors were not kind.
Lu Niaoyou only asked one question, and did not say any more when he got the answer, but Gu Yan was keenly aware of the change in Lu Niaoyou's mood, and looked at Lu Niaoyou with some concern.
Lu Niao slightly shook her head, and asked someone to change herself and Gu Yan into formal dresses for the banquet, because Emperor Guang had ordered rewards for the two of them long ago, so these costumes were all prepared.
The measurements of both of them were obtained from Mulian Shuiyong when they went to pass on the decree last time, so Lu Niaoyao and Gu Yan felt that they were just right.
Dayu respected black and red, with black at the front and red at the back, so on special formal occasions, the emperor would wear a black robe, while the empress would wear a red dress.
The two are painted with dragons and phoenixes, other than that, there is no variegated color!
And the formal dress of Princess Zhenguo that Lu Niaoyao wore this time was covered with a large area of black, except for the cuffs dotted with a circle of red and a circle of dragon patterns on it, and on the back was a bright and dazzling dragon. The golden phoenix, there are eight small phoenixes flying around the golden phoenix, all embroidered with gold and silver threads, and it looks extraordinarily luxurious when illuminated by the light.
Gu Yan's county magistrate's uniform has more red areas, but Gu Yan's skin is fair, especially the red on the neckline, which makes her skin more radiant than snow.
The pitch-black crow hair was combed high, with a crown of twin phoenixes holding beads on it, and the bead in the middle was a top-quality oriental bead, round and full, with a radiance that made people blush and heartbeat.
The two wore special clothes and jewelry, as if they were different people.
It's all right for Lu Niao, she grew up in the royal family with dignity all over her body, and Gu Yan is even more amazing.
It doesn't make much sense to dress up in a dull manner on weekdays, but now that she is dressed up like this, she immediately becomes charming and charming, and she has a sullen little face, which makes her look quite dignified.
Delicate and charming, not angry but majestic, shining like the oriental pearl on her forehead, making people unable to move their eyes away.
Lu Niaoyou stared at it for a long time before she moved her eyes and smiled slightly: "That's right, it's beautiful."
Gu Yan's cheeks were flushed by this brief compliment, and her nonchalant and majestic energy immediately disappeared. She glanced at Lu Nianyou and smiled: "Your Highness is extraordinarily beautiful today than usual, which is heart-warming." fold."
Because it was in the palace, Lu Niaowei didn't tease Gu Yan, and smiled: "Today's banquet is more important, just follow me and see how I do it."
Lu Niao said so, but after getting along with Lu Niao for two years, how could Gu Yan not know what kind of person she was, who could make Lu Niao say such words, Gu Yan immediately became alert in his heart, but on the surface Buxian: "Yes, I will listen to Your Highness."
After leaving the palace, the two sat on the curtain one after the other. Gu Yan sat in the back, looking at the upright figure sitting in front with elegance, she lowered her eyes.
No matter what happens, she must protect His Highness well.
These years, staying alone with His Highness for two years is not in vain!Then Ah Da's martial arts is also good, and I even secretly learned a few hands from him.
Gu Yan had his own plan in mind, and Lu Niao was also thinking about what kind of tricks the queen would play today. When the two arrived at the banquet place, there were almost enough people coming, only Emperor Guang and the queen were left behind.
"I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Qinghe Township, and the Lord Haiyan County."
Lu Niaoyou nodded slightly and then called out, Gu Yan only followed behind Lu Niaoyou as the background board, and was not dissatisfied because his limelight was taken away, and Zhenbeihou who was not far away saw his extremely beautiful appearance The prostitute's daughter showed a bit of remorse and hesitated to speak on her face.
It's just that no matter what kind of friendship in the world, it takes time to maintain it. Zhenbeihou has never appeared in Gu Yan's growth in the first ten years. Maybe that cheap?
Gu Yan only glanced at him lightly, and she saw Zhen Beihou's expression in her eyes, but she didn't care about all of this at all, then she withdrew her gaze, as if she hadn't seen anything, followed Lu Niaoyou's footsteps, Go up.
Not knowing what the queen was thinking, she put the two seats facing each other. This time without His Royal Highness by her side, Gu Yan straightened her back, assuring herself that she would not show the slightest timidity.
Not long after the two sat down, Emperor Guang and the Empress came again.

My son has made great achievements for Dayu this time. It's a reward, the position of the princess of the town is not as good as my son's achievements!"
Taizu was the founding emperor of Dayu, Emperor Guang's praise didn't mean how sour the concubines were, but every one of them had to show approval.
Afterwards, a group of important officials below also hurriedly got up and echoed:
"Her Royal Highness Princess Zhen Guo and Your Majesty are the father of a tiger and the daughter of a dog!"
"Extremely extreme, women do not give way to men! I admire you!"
"I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Zhen Guo has only been to Zhuzhou for less than two years, and has already tripled its tax revenue. It can be called my biggest hero, Dayu!"
The ministers flattered each other very well, and Lu Niao waited until they had finished speaking, then stood up and bowed to Emperor Guang: "Father, the emperor is absurd. As a princess of a country, now Just did what I was supposed to do.
Your lords should not praise Qinghe for these duties, otherwise Qinghe will be ashamed. "
Emperor Guang said hello, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly:
"This is the demeanor of my Princess Dayu! Besides, Qinghe is also good at teaching! Zhenbeihou, look at how well my Princess Qinghe teaches the daughter of your family?"
Zhenbei Hou was called by Emperor Guang, and he got up quickly and said:
"Your Highness is amazingly talented, and the little girl is wonderful by His Highness's side!"
Emperor Guang smiled half-smile:
"Really? I've heard Qinghe say that the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei is very talented, and she is quite insightful in these important matters that benefit the country and the people. If I train well, I'm afraid that I, Dayu, will only be better now."
Emperor Guang's words were clearly to blame Zhenbei Hou for not teaching his daughter-in-law properly.
When Zhenbei Hou was asked by Emperor Guang, he only felt that his face was burning badly, as if countless slaps had been slapped on his old face.
Your Majesty, does this mean that Gu Yan has earned everything by herself?
Then if he treats Gu Yan well, will Gu Yan also have his own share of all the honors that Gu Yan has now?
Zhenbeihou, who had figured all this out, really regretted it at this moment, but he looked at Gu Yan who was sitting high in the second seat, even though he felt regret in his heart, it was useless.
Emperor Guang thought about how excellent Gu Yan was that Lu Niao said in his letters in the past, and seeing Zhenbeihou getting more and more unpleasant, he praised Lu Niao and Gu Yan again.
At this time, the queen who was sitting on the side interjected with a smile: "In a blink of an eye, Qinghe is now so big and has become so outstanding. The concubine is really happy from the bottom of her heart. If the concubine's Pingyang With half of Qinghe, that concubine should be thankful!"
Emperor Guang looked up at the queen, and didn't want to embarrass the queen at such a banquet, so he just said lightly: "Pingyang is stubborn, you should teach it well, but, it's a pity that no one under my knees can go to the right of Qinghe !"
After hearing Emperor Guang's words, the queen's face was completely cracked, and she said in a nasty way: "Well, although Pingyang has a stubborn temper, he is obedient. It's been two years, I don't know if Pingyang might..."
What the queen meant at this moment was to imply that Lu Niaoyou had treated her sister harshly before, but she did not expect that before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Emperor Guang: "Since you know that Pingyang is stubborn, let her copy more Buddhist scriptures. I saw that Qinghe's original method was very good, and Pingyang has indeed stabilized in the past two years."
The queen's expression froze, and then she changed the subject stiffly: "Yes, my concubine is following His Majesty's will. Do you think it's time for the banquet now?"
Hearing what the queen said, Emperor Guang showed joy on his face, and then looked at Lu Niaoyou with a smile: "Qinghe, let's just watch today, I got a good cook recently, and the dishes I cook are extremely delicious. Want to eat!"
"Father has never eaten anything delicious in his life, but he admires it so much, this cook must be excellent."
"Of course, when did the emperor frame you?"
The father and daughter talked gossip as if no one else was around, and the queen on the side felt that she was being left out in an instant, and she couldn't help but sullen her face, but she also cared about Emperor Guang beside her, so she could only force herself to smile. Gu Yan, who was sitting on the other side, frowned involuntarily.
Although she had never been in contact with the queen, looking at the expression on the queen's face made Gu Yan faintly feel something wrong.
But at this moment, one after another delicious food came up like flowing water, and the aroma of delicious food instantly filled the air, and even faintly overwhelmed the incense in the hall.
Because he remembered Gu Mei's coquettish operation at the banquet to welcome foreign envoys, so Emperor Guang didn't ask the cook to introduce dishes this time.
Besides, these dishes are just some ordinary dishes, but I don't know how the cook can make the dishes so delicious.
Seeing that Emperor Guang's usual favorite routine was missing, Lu Niao could not help but smile warmly at Emperor Guang, seeing that Emperor Guang moved his chopsticks, she picked up a dish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
The original owner has a golden tongue, this is not a lie.
But when the dish is in the mouth, the various seasonings and cooking techniques experienced will appear in the original master's mind, and at this time, as soon as the dish is in the mouth, Lu Niaoyou already knows how he cooks it.
But there is only one faint sour taste, which is covered by other flavors of the dishes, but it can be tasted finely.
sour...
Lu Niaoyou pondered for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Emperor Guang, only to find that Emperor Guang didn't seem to care about anything when he saw the dish, not even caring about his manners. The concubines and courtiers below couldn't help whispering after seeing it.
It was at this moment that Lu Niao realized that something was wrong. Even though Emperor Guang was wearing that dragon robe, he was terribly empty. He was sweating while eating, but his face was as white as paper. , looks like...
It's an addiction!
Lu Youyou only took a bite of the food, but didn't move his second chopsticks. Gu Yan watched Lu Youyou's movement, and added the food into his mouth, chewing it carefully without swallowing it.
"Spit it out."
Lu Niao looked at Gu Yan opposite him, made a mouth shape, Gu Yan shrank her eyes, and then nodded.
Seeing that Gu Yan knew what she meant, Lu Niao only half let go of her heart, and finally she looked up at Emperor Guang above: "Father, I don't know where the cook who is cooking the dishes today is. My son may see him for a while." See?"
Emperor Guang still had a sliver of consciousness at the moment, and nodded when he heard Lu Niaoyou's question: "Come here, bring the imperial chef up. Qinghe, you have a taste of this dish, it's not bad, if it's very good, father, today I will eat it." It is not in vain that he can make us so happy if he is sealed off for a while."
Lu Niao shook her head:
"Father, let's eat later, my son still has something to ask."
After listening to Lu Niaoyou's words, Emperor Guang had a greater desire to eat, but he had eaten a lot just now, and now the desire is not so strong, so he could hold back: "What did Qinghe discover? "
"Father will know in a while, and you will know in a while."
While Lu Niaoyao was talking, the imperial chef was brought up, as if he knew that he was appreciated by the Emperor Guang who had been particularly appreciative of him recently, he walked with his chest up and his head up, and even stood up hastily after saluting.
Seeing his rude appearance, Lu Niao directly threw a teacup at his hand: "My princess hasn't asked you to stand up yet!"
Emperor Guang didn't care about Lu Niaoyao losing his temper in front of him. He just thought it was the little girl's temper, and comforted him: "If Qinghe doesn't like the cooking of this imperial chef, let people punish him. You're going to be pissed off."
Only now did Lu Niaoyao show a cold smile on his face:
"Why did the father think that the son was angry? He is just a commoner. The father rewarded him for his craftsmanship, but he actually put something that shouldn't be in this dish. It's really audacious!"
After hearing Lu Niaoyou's words, Emperor Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately said: "What shouldn't be put? What did he put?! Oh, why didn't I find out, and the eunuchs who tasted the food in front of the emperor are all fine!"
Lu Niaoyou pursed her lips:
"Father, the damage to the body caused by this thing has accumulated over time, if you don't believe it, you might as well go and find the eunuch Changshan to have a look.
As for what is in it...then why not ask the imperial chef to tell me!Who told you to instigate you? ! "
The imperial chef was originally a commoner, and because of his good craftsmanship, he was recommended to the palace after being appreciated by the nobles. At this moment, he was terrified, kneeling on the ground and trembling: "This grass-roots grass-folk is not ordered by anyone. Also, Your Majesty and Princess, please enlighten me!"
Looking at the man who was about to pee his pants in fright, Lu Yanyou guessed that he didn't know what was in it, so he asked directly: "Then is there any other ingredients in it besides the usual cooking?"
The imperial chef was reminded by Lu Niaoyao, and then he remembered that the nobleman gave it to him. According to legend, it was a special seasoning used by the concubine of Zhenbei Hou who was once very popular in the palace.
"Caomin remembered, yes..."
Just as the chef was speaking, he suddenly bled from his orifices. Before he died, he raised his finger and pointed to the queen who was sitting on top of him: "Emperor, empress, save..."
Yu Chu’s death was unsatisfactory, and Emperor Guang looked at the tragic death of Yu Chu below, his lips began to tremble with fright, and his face was pale: "Qing, Qinghe, just say it, so what did Yu Chu put in this dish?" What? Father, father can bear it!"
Lu Niao glanced at Emperor Guang, then looked around, and saw that the concubines and officials were also waiting eagerly.
That's right, Emperor Guang likes delicious food, and everyone in Dayu admires delicious food, and now even Emperor Guang has problems with the food here, let alone them?
Lu Niaolong took a deep breath and said slowly:
"It's Aphrodisiac. This kind of thing is not a local crop of Dayu, but has been introduced from a foreign land. The tree that can shed tears brought by the foreign envoys before, when my son went to a foreign country to investigate its origin, once I saw it by chance in a foreign country.
I heard from the locals that this substance has extremely high medicinal value, and it can relieve pain, relieve cough, and relieve diarrhea. "
"Since that's the case, Qinghe, why do you say that this is something that shouldn't be released?" Seeing that Lu Niaoyou said the truth about this thing, Emperor Guang already believed it in his heart, but it's not bad to hear it now.
Lu Niao shook her head:
"Father, let's call the eunuch who eats food and see it."
"pass."
Emperor Guang was puzzled and immediately asked someone to bring the Eunuch Changshan, Dayu Eunuch Changshan is a very good job, there are many people scrambling to come!
But at this moment, Emperor Guang looked at the shapeless appearance of the eunuch Changshan kneeling below, and was immediately startled.
How can you get to the master with such a description?
And the eunuch was brought off the stage, as if he smelled a familiar smell, he rushed forward regardless of his dignity, grabbed the food in front of Gu Yan's dining table and stuffed it into his mouth frantically, or was he pushed down by the guards later , but even so, he still stuck out his tongue to lick the dish soup that fell on the floor.
Looking at the appearance of the man below, a trace of disgust flashed in Lu Niaoyao's eyes, but this disgust was for that drug.
"This is the consequence of taking it for a long time and overdose."
As soon as Lu Niaoyou said this, the concubines and important officials below immediately started talking. Originally, several concubines felt that they had lost weight recently and were happy in their hearts. Now, after hearing Lu Niaoyou's words, they looked at the eunuch below and were terrified. trembling.
"Your Highness Your Highness, since you know about this thing, you should know how to treat it. Please help us, Your Highness!"
"His Highness, please help me!"
……
A group of concubines and officials below who suspected that they had been hit by drugs were crying, and Emperor Guang was already in a trance when he saw the eunuch below.
He thought about his sudden appetite for those ordinary dishes in recent days, and the appearance he always thought about when he couldn't eat them, whether one day he would become as skinny as that eunuch, and then... like a lunatic ?
"Qinghe, can this really be cured?"
Looking at Emperor Guang's appearance, Lu Niao sighed in her heart. People are afraid of death, even the once heroic father is like this.
However, since she can taste it and is willing to say it, it means that she can be cured, but the most urgent task is to catch the person behind it.
After all, among those concubines and important ministers, there are quite a few who suspect that they have taken drugs, so what is the intention of this person?
This drug is something from a foreign country, how could this thing be introduced into Dayu?
Lu Niaoliu nodded and gave everyone a reassurance: "This drug is just addictive, as long as you quit the addiction, you don't have to worry.
It's just that the top priority now is to find out the source of this thing, otherwise... how can I feel at ease? "
Emperor Guang came back to himself in a daze when he heard Lu Niaoyou say this: "That's right, that's right, it's time to check the source, then I'll leave this matter to you, Qinghe! If there is any connection, it will be handed over to Qinghe, father trusts your decision!"
Lu Niao stood up and saluted:
"My son takes orders."
However, when everyone was still panicking, bad news came from outside.
"Report—Your Majesty, the Di people invaded and lost nine cities in a row on the border! Now the general Guo Yu, the general guarding the border, has died, please make a decision!"
When Emperor Guang heard the bad news, his body became weak all of a sudden, and he collapsed directly on the dragon chair.
This, all this is a conspiracy of the Gentiles!
Lu Niaoniao didn't expect that the bad premonition in her heart should come at this moment.
The person who introduces A Furong to Dayu will be punished!
However, seeing that many of the ministers in the court have already suspected that they have contracted drugs, and the family of the military generals is withered, and the military generals are not accepted. At this time, fighting... is a dead end!
Emperor Guang sat for a while before finally calming down.
The most urgent task now is to dispatch troops to the digital border as soon as possible, and the security of the border will ensure the security of the country.
But Emperor Guang calmed down, and when he thought about it carefully, he found that he had no generals in his hands at this moment.
He looked at the sky with fluttering eyes, could it be that Dayu was about to perish in his own hands? !
no, I can not.
He also has children, but now the only ones who are approaching adulthood are Lu Niaoyou, Princess Pingyang and the Fifth Prince.
Here, the fifth prince is a well-deserved successor, but Emperor Guang immediately rejected this idea when he thought of his cowardly and stupid temperament.
If Dayu was handed over to him, it would really be over.
As for Pingyang, although he has the Queen's support, but not to mention her temper, this matter must have something to do with the Queen, and he will never choose her.
Now... Guangdi glanced at Lu Niaoyou who was sitting beside him with a gloomy face and seemed to be thinking about countermeasures. He sighed in his heart, after all, he still had to hand over this burden to Qinghe.
"According to my decree, from now on, the Princess of Qinghe Township will be crowned as the Empress Dowager to supervise the country on my behalf."
