spring and autumn officials

Wouldn't it be rude to go back a little?

In addition to porridge and flower cakes, Qi Lu also made a petal bath from the extra Nymphium cauliflower, smashed it into "essential oil", and sent some to Zheng Ji. Zheng Ji especially liked the essential oil made from Nymphium cauliflower, and asked The emperor really couldn't laugh or cry when he heard about Qi Lu's production method.

Wu Jiang failed the first two times. The first time he sent lotus seeds, and the second time he sent watermelon cauliflower, but he was not discouraged. Each time was more explicit than the first time, and on the third day he brought plums.

"There are plums, but they are actually seven. I beg my common man, and I will give them auspiciousness. I have plums, but they are actually three. I beg my common man, and I will give them today. If there are plums, I will put them in a basket. I beg my common man , so it is called.”

In the Book of Songs, there is a song called "There Are Plums", which uses plums to express a woman's love for a man.meaning is……

"The plums are already ripe. They fell to the ground, and [-]% of them remain on the tree. My young man, don't delay the beauty of the beautiful day.

The plums are already ripe and have fallen to the ground, leaving [-]% on the tree.My lad to this day don't wait any longer.

The plums are already ripe, and they all fall to the ground. You need to use a dustpan to clean the plums.It will be too late if my boy doesn't speak. "

Seeing the pile of plums brought by the palace maid, Qi Lu suddenly felt a headache, because Qi Lu is not very good at eating sour taste, so eating such a pile of plums will not make your teeth lose your teeth?

Qi Lu was worried about Meizi, and the maid said tentatively: "Teacher, Madam gave the rewards for three days in a row, so... don't you have anything to say? If you have anything to say, Grand Tutor, I can give it to you." You bring the message to Madam."

Qi Lu thought for a while and said, "Yes, there is indeed something to say."

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, she gave the rewards for three days in a row, it was lotus seeds, and water lilies, and now she gave such blatant plums, if Taifu Qi stays any longer, he should understand, right?

Who would have thought that Qi Lu cupped his hands and said: "Miss You Lao brought a message to Madam, and she said that Lu is very grateful, but... such rewards every day, eating too much, please Madam don't reward anymore."

When the maid heard this, she was dumbfounded, and refused to let the lady reward her again?What does that mean? Could it be that Taifu Qi is playing hard to catch with his wife?But it's only three days, and Madam has rewarded her for three days. If Taifu Qi said so, could it be that he rejected Madam?

The maid's face turned pale, Qi Lu didn't realize it at all, sent the maid away, and began to worry about Meizi again.

How should this plum be made?That's right, let's make some sour plum soup, it's sweet and sour, and you can also marinate the leftover plums to turn them into plums. Although the current dietary methods are not very good, the method of pickling is clever, Qi Lu He told the Shanfu how to pickle plums, and the cooks quickly understood the essentials, and went to pickle sweet and sour plums by themselves.

Qi Lu made sour plum soup and served it chilled. It is said that plums cannot be eaten ready-made and need to be marinated for a few days. However, the sour plum soup was ready, so he took the sour plum soup and sent it to the emperor.

Ji Lin was sulking because of Meizi's matter, he was right, Wu Jiang really liked Qi Taifu, and sent the hinted ingredients for three days in a row, although Qi Lu cooked all the ingredients, but The emperor's heart was still very sour.

Given Wu Jiang's age, she can indeed be Qi Lu's mother, but Wu Jiang has been well maintained and her charm is still there.If it's about appearance, wealth, or status, the emperor will definitely not be afraid of losing to Wu Jiang, but it's a pity...

Taifu Qi is a man, and the Son of Heaven is also a man, so Ji Lin thought in his heart, this Taifu Qi, who is not enlightened, will not be seduced by Wu Jiang?

Ji Lin was restless, so Qi Lu came with sour plum soup.

Qi Lu didn't understand Wu Jiang's thoughts at all, he came in with sour plum soup in a good mood, and said, "Tianzi, drink some sour plum soup."

Qi Lu poured sour plum soup for Ji Lin, and added a few ice cubes to the earcups. The "jingling" ice cubes were floating, hitting lightly in the amber translucent drinking water. The breath is rising, which is suitable for this kind of late summer, which is cooler in the morning and evening, but hot at noon.

But Ji Lin's mind was not on the sour plum soup. He picked up the wine glass and earcup, took a sip, and said absently, "It's too sour."

"Sour?" Qi Lu himself is somewhat afraid of sourness, so the drinks he makes don't taste sour. If someone doesn't like sweets, Qi Lu will lighten the sweetness a little.

Who knew that Tianzi tasted so "heavy" and thought that sour plum soup was not sweet enough, too sour?

Qi Lu looked at the Son of Heaven strangely, the Son of Heaven was obviously absent-minded, took another sip, looked at Qi Lu, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but closed it again, took another sip of sour plum soup, opened his mouth again, and finally said nothing.

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched wildly. He really didn't know what was going on with the Son of Heaven. He was usually considered a "outspoken" person, but now he looked at him like he was looking at a heartless man.

Qi Lu then cupped his hands and said: "Son of Heaven, but Lu has done something wrong. If Lu is out of the way, please correct me."

Ji Lin's eyes were gloomy, and he said, "This sour plum soup, Taifu made it from the plums sent by Mrs. Zheng Guo?"

Qi Lu was a little surprised, he didn't expect the emperor to drink sour plum soup, but he even knew the origin of the plums?

Qi Lu replied honestly, "Return to the Son of Heaven, that's right."

When Ji Lin heard this, his heart became even more sour, and he felt that the sour plum soup was so sour that his teeth were about to fall.

Qi Lu didn't understand, so he was stared at by the emperor's pitiful eyes for several times, and then he heard the emperor say: "Mr. Qi, have you ever heard of Youmei?"

Qi Lu honestly shook his head, never heard of it.After all, when he suddenly said the words "摽有梅", Qi Lv didn't think of the Book of Songs, but he knew that Li Bai was about to drink...

Ji Lin said again: "The Taifu has heard, 'I beg my common man, I will be lucky.'"

Many of the words in the Book of Songs are very difficult to pronounce. Qi Lu didn't understand them at first, so he shook his head again.

Now it's all right, the emperor doesn't know what's going on, Qi Lv asked three questions, the emperor was happy, and a smile rose from the corner of his lips, and said: "Then the grand master doesn't know what Mrs. Zheng is thinking?"

"Madame Zheng Guo?" Qi Lu was even more surprised, what was Wu Jiang thinking?

Seeing that he really didn't know, Ji Lin said, "The Grand Tutor is also really confused. Mrs. Zheng Guo gave the Grand Tutor three days of rewards consecutively. The lotus seeds, water lilies and green plums all represent admiration."

"Pfft——" Qi Lu just took a sip of the sour plum soup. He wanted to know if the sour plum soup was really too sour. He drank it and tasted it carefully. .

He hadn't swallowed the sour plum soup when he heard the emperor's words "not shocking and endless", and immediately spit it all out in one mouthful.

Qi Lu wiped it in a hurry, bowed his hands and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, Lu is rude."

Seeing Qi Lu's startled look, Ji Lin didn't seem to be overjoyed when he heard that Wu Jiang was interested in him. This meant that Qi Lu was not interested in Wu Jiang, so he felt slightly relieved and said, "It's okay."

He said, and wiped the sour plum soup on the corners of Qi Lu's lips with a handkerchief, and said, "The Taifu now knows what Mrs. Zheng Guo means, what do you think?"

Qi Lu quickly said: "Lu is sincere and fearful."

It was indeed a panic, and Qi Lu was so frightened that he would have a psychological shadow on sour plum soup in the future, and he was afraid that he would never dare to drink sour plum soup again.

How did he know that Wu Jiang sent food three times, all of which represented the meaning of love, Qi Lv thought silently in his heart, he only blames my "uneducated" Taifu for not noticing Wu Jiang's oblique expressions of love.

Qi Lu began to reflect on himself again, what did he do to make the famous Wu Jiang fall in love with him so much, and Wu Jiang was old enough to be his own mother, why did she fall in love with him?

Ji Lin stared at Qi Lu's expression repeatedly, and seeing that there was no joy on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "In the future, any rewards given by Mrs. Zheng Guo to the Grand Tutor will be left intact. Go back without moving."

Qi Lu nodded his head, and said, "Yes, what the Son of Heaven said is true."

Ji Lin said again: "In the future, when Mrs. Zheng Guo summons you, you can use any excuses to avoid it. You must never go to see Mrs. Zheng Guo alone."

Qi Lu nodded again and said, "Yes, what the Son of Heaven said is absolutely true."

Now that Qi Lu thinks about it, he just feels a little scared, no wonder Mrs. Zheng Guo stared at him, a little bit like a wolf seeing a sheep, Qi Lu thought Mrs. Zheng Guo hated him, after all, he cheated his grandson Gongsun slides.

Qi Lu never expected that Mrs. Zheng Guo's eyes were not disgust, but admiration. Thinking of this, how could Qi Lu dare to be alone with Mrs. Zheng Guo?

Seeing that Qi Lu was rarely so "obedient", Ji Lin couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Why, Mr. Qi, who has always been fearless, now knows how to be afraid?"

Qi Lu said helplessly: "Son, don't make fun of Lu, it's really not funny."

The court lady went back to Wu Jiang's bedroom tremblingly. As soon as she went back, Wu Jiang couldn't wait to say: "How is it? Qi Taifu is here today? I have given Qi Taifu a reward for three days in a row. The first day is the second day." He could pretend to be stupid and shirk it, but now it is clear and plain?"

The maid's expression was even more embarrassing, and she was also a little scared.

Wu Jiang didn't pay attention to her expression, but looked out of the door, straightened his clothes, wiped his temple hair shyly, and said, "Where is Taifu Qi? Let him come in quickly."

Only then did the palace maid falter and say: "Hui, Mrs. Hui, Taifu... Taifu Qi...he didn't come."

"What?!" Wu Jiang immediately raised his brows angrily, and said, "Why didn't you come?! It's been three days, why didn't you come? He, Qi Lu, is taking on Giotto, so he should come today!"

The maid stammered even more, saying: "Teacher...Teacher asked the maid to tell Madam, saying yes... saying that Madam should stop rewarding..."

"Boom!" As soon as the maid's words fell, Wu Jiang was really angry, and directly swung his sleeve robe, sweeping away the little beans on the desk, the little beans rolled over and scattered the fried red fruits all over the floor.

Wu Jiang said angrily: "What a Qi Lv! He really is shameless, I was really too gentle to him! That's why Qi Lvtuo is so big! I'll bring him to blame!"

The maid hurriedly knelt down and said, "Ma'am, Ma'am! Taifu Qi is the emperor's Taifu after all, if Madam is like this, I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."

Wu Jiang was very angry and felt that Qi Lv was too "hypocritical". At this time, Zheng Boxu came to say hello, Wu Jiang narrowed his almond eyes, and seemed to have an idea.

Zheng Bowei came in from the outside, he was just following a formality, and the pimples about Wu Jiang still existed in his heart, which could not be eradicated, so Zheng Bowusheng came to say hello to his mother, and he had always just followed a formality, leaving every five days.

Mr. Zheng Bowu walked in, and just as he was about to ask Ann to leave, Wu Jiang said, "My son, what do you think of Mr. Qi?"

Zheng Boxu frowned slightly when he heard Wu Jiang's question in his life, and said, "Why did mother suddenly ask Taifu Qi?"

Wu Jiang covered her lips with a smile, and said: "My son doesn't know something. Taifu Qi was born gentle and handsome, and won the favor of the emperor. He is indeed capable. When I saw Taifu Qi, I felt very kind in my heart. Now Perhaps our country of Zheng has not had any happy event for a long time, how about...my son will connect me with Taifu Qi and accomplish something beautiful, wouldn't it be good?"

Zheng Bowusheng suddenly realized that it was Wu Jiang who fell in love with the emperor and grand tutor!

In fact, Wu Jiang has a lot of scandals on weekdays. After all, Zheng Boxu came to the throne at the age of 13. At that time, Wu Jiang was still very young. A person like Wu Jiang who is hot, beautiful and powerful, is absolutely unwilling to be lonely. Zheng Boweisheng always turned a blind eye, he was busy with Zheng Guo's affairs every day, and he had no mind to meddle in Wu Jiang's business.

I didn't expect Wu Jiang to hit the head of the emperor's Taifu today...

Wu Jiang didn't wait for Zheng Boyu to open his mouth, and said earnestly: "I am also doing it for the good of Zheng Guo, my son, think about it, if today's emperor is afraid of my Zheng Guo being strong, and suppressing Zheng Guo again and again, if I Zheng Guo can be with the emperor Marriage is a good thing. That day, the emperor is deeply loved by the emperor. If I can marry the emperor, my son will be able to keep Qi Tai in my country of Zheng. The emperor is still young, without Mrs. Qi Isn’t Fu’s assistant like a plucked eagle? What else is there to be afraid of?”

Wu Jiang is a "cultural person", although she is aggressive, she still has some scheming, she is right, if Wu Jiang married Qi Taifu, it must be Qi Taifu staying in Zheng State, not Wu Jiang leaving with her, In this way, Qi Lu was snatched away from the emperor's side, and Zheng Boxusheng was very moved by this idea alone.

Wu Jiang said with a smile: "If not, please invite my son to go and talk about it. After accomplishing such a beautiful thing, it can be regarded as a small profit for Zheng Guojin, isn't it?"

Just as Qi Lu knew that Wu Jiang had ulterior motives for him, before he could calm down, the eunuch came in and said, "Son of Heaven, Grand Tutor, Mr. Zheng is out to see you."

Now that Qi Lu heard the people of Zheng Guo, he felt very weak, especially when Wu Jiang's eldest son came, and Qi Lu was even weaker. Thinking about it carefully, this Wu Jiang's son, whether it is Zheng Boxusheng or The youngest son, Uncle Gong, was older than himself, and by a lot, Wu Jiang actually wanted to "serve" her by himself, and Qi Lv's back immediately went numb.

Ji Lin didn't know Zheng Boxu's reason for coming, so he said, "Please come in."

Mr. Zheng Bowu quickly came in, with a smile on his face, and after entering, he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to the Son of Heaven, congratulations to the Grand Tutor!"

When Qi Lu saw Zheng Bowu laughing, he felt his calf twist, why?Because Zheng Bowusheng seldom smiled, and usually had a gloomy and calm appearance. When he laughed, he looked like a jackal with malicious intentions.

Ji Lin said indifferently: "Dare to ask Zheng Gong, why do you like it?"

Zheng Bowusheng said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, this happy event is the joy of the Taifu, and it is also the joy of Master Luo and Zheng Guo!"

Qi Lu listened, why did he feel that Zheng Bo's tone seemed to be pimping?

Sure enough, I heard Zheng Bowusheng say with a smile: "Congratulations to Tai Tuo, the mother of Wusheng, the mother of my country Zheng, has great admiration for Taifu's talent, so I specially asked Wusheng to come and say goodbye in person."

Qi Lu: "..."

Ji Lin's complexion turned ugly in an instant, it was icy cold, it didn't look like a little milk dog, nor like a big wolf dog, but like a wild wolf, a lion, and at this moment, someone moved only belonged to this animal. The meat of the beast.

Ji Lin sneered, very disrespectful, Qi Lu saw that this matter did not need to be so rigid, although Wu Jiang took a fancy to him, this matter was a bit unbelievable, but it also showed that he was full of charm.

Qi Lv hurriedly rushed before the emperor launched an attack, and said: "Duke Zheng, you really broke the law. What virtue can you do? His status and status are just from the background of a small official. He is used to being poor. How can he be worthy of the clang of poverty?" What about the mother of a country? I really dare not be, dare not be."

Zheng Bowusheng wanted to block Qi Lv's way out, so he said, "Hey, how can the Taifu be so self-effacing? I, in the State of Zheng, have always been rigid about my status when I discover talents and strangers. Besides, Qi Taifu helped Wu Sheng smashed Gongsun Hua's scheme, he is the benefactor of my country Zheng, the kindness of this person is as vast as the sea, Taifu must not be so self-absorbed!"

When Qi Lu heard Zheng Bowu's praise, he smiled slightly, his face was still very calm and composed, and said: "Mrs. A request, just happens to be able to double the favor."

Zheng Bowei was born to come to kiss, but he was abducted into the ditch by Qi Lu. He meant that Qi Lu was worthy of Wu Jiang, and he didn't really want to owe Qi Lu any favors.

Zheng Bowusheng's face was slightly stiff, and Qi Lu said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, this person is very good. For you, Mr. Zheng, this Gongsun Hua is both hot and prickly in your hands. Because Zheng Mrs. Guo prefers Gongsun Hua, loves the house and Wu, and she must also prefer Gongsun Hua. If Gongsun Hua stays in your country of Zheng, it will only make Zheng Gong sad... If not, please ask Zheng Gong to give this Gongsun Hua to Lu. Lu sees that he is a good crafter. Then put Gongsun Hua in the dining room and become a cook, so that he will never recover, do you think it is good?"

It has to be said that Qi Lu said that in Zheng Bo's heart, Gongsun Hua is a hidden danger to Zheng Bo, and he can't kill him if he stays in Zheng Guoli. After all, Wu Jiang is still there. If Zheng Bo wants to kill Gongsun Hua, Wu Jiang will definitely be with him. He cried, made trouble and hanged himself three times. Today's Zheng Guo can't tolerate any mistakes, let alone Wu Jiang's nonsense.

Qi Lv was determined not to marry Wu Jiang, Zheng Boyu could tell that Qi Lv was a man of status, and now he was the emperor's tutor, and he was very popular. I can only give up.

Zheng Bowei thought about it for a while, but he was very cheerful, and said with a smile: "Since the Taifu admires Gongsun Hua's craftsmanship, it is his good fortune, so I will follow the Taifu in the future and become a cook to serve the Taifu. Left and right are also good."

Not only did Qi Lu not marry Wu Jiang, but he even fished in troubled waters to snatch Gongsun Hua over.

The Son of Heaven breathed a sigh of relief just now, seeing Qi Lu reject Wu Jiang's marriage, unexpectedly, Qi Lu actually asked for another beautiful cook before landing!

I don't know if this Gongsun Hua has inherited Wu Jiang's beauty. He is much younger than Wu Jiang. Everyone was surprised by Gongsun Hua's appearance.

Moreover, Gongsun Hua is full of tricks, he can really do anything to get revenge, and the emperor is really worried about putting such a beautiful cook by Qi Lu's side.

Not only that, but Qi Lu wanted to go to the prison to release Gongsun Hua himself. How could Ji Lin let Qi Lu go to the prison alone? He just made up an excuse and went with Qi Lu.

The emperor's car arrived in the prison very quickly, and Qi Lu swaggered in. Song Gong and Yi thought that Qi Lu was looking for him. After all, so many days have passed, and Song Gong has been left here for so long , it is also time to say a few words, and then it will really become a salted fish!

Song Gong and Yi said with a cold face, very proudly: "Teacher Qi..."

He didn't finish his words, but Qi Lu didn't give him a single look, but walked past his cell without looking sideways. Song Gong and Yi blushed in anger, and half of it was because of shameful.

Qi Lu walked over, passed the "self-confident" Song Gong, and arrived at the door of Gongsun Hua's cell.

Zhu Dan was dressed in black armor and was guarding outside the cell. He had received orders from Mr. Zheng Bowu, and was about to open the cell door and let Gongsun slide out. When he saw the emperor and Qi Lu, he immediately bowed his hands and saluted: "The humble general pays homage to the emperor and Qi Lu." Master."

The door of the cell was already opened, but Gongsun Hua didn't come out. The chain fell to the ground and made a "crash!" sound. Gongsun Hua looked at Qi Lv with a very calm expression.

Gongsun Hua used to be allergic to bean beans, but now the allergy has receded, and she has regained her glamorous appearance. After being locked in the cell these days, Gongsun Hua has lost a little weight, and her figure is even more lovely and charming. The already thin face and chin are even more pointed, especially when the head is slightly lowered and the eyelids are slightly raised, it is even more charming.

Gongsun Hua looked at Qi Lu, and instead of saluting, he said, "Hua doesn't remember when he agreed to surrender."

When Gongsun Hua opened his mouth, he was full of arrogance, and Zhu Dan stood aside, really breaking him into a cold sweat.

Qi Lu was not angry, and said with a smile: "You didn't agree, but you will agree in a while."

Gongsun Hua raised his lips and smiled, and when he started to smile, he was really "looking back and smiling at Bai Meisheng". He was indescribably amazed and said, "Teacher is so sure?"

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Of course, because we have a good understanding, Gongsun Lu Zhi will definitely agree."

When he said this, the emperor's face darkened again, and Ji Lin had the illusion that Qi Lu liked to tease Gongsun Hua very much.

In fact, this is not an illusion of the emperor, Qi Lv really likes to tease Gongsun Hua, not really molesting, but because Gongsun Hua has been scheming all the time, he seems to want to tease the whole world under applause, There is also a noble and glamorous temperament.But Qi Lu is a person with a bad interest, he always likes to watch other people make mistakes, so it is inevitable to tease Gongsun Hua.

Gongsun Hua's complexion really fell, not because he was angry, but because he couldn't calm down anymore. He pursed his lips, knelt down on the ground suddenly, clasped his fists in his hands, and said, "Hua is willing to submit to the Son of Heaven...as long as the Son of Heaven and Zheng Guo If you can't make it through, Hua will be loyal to the emperor for a day and swear to die!"

Zheng Guo solved the matter of Gongsun Hua, Song Gong and Yi were still imprisoned in the jail, and it has been a long time, and it is time to do the math.

when is itOf course it is time for the other three countries to seek peace.

When Wei Guo, Chen Guo, and Cai Guo heard about Song Gong and Yi's affairs, it is no exaggeration to say that they were so frightened that the shit was gone, so they specially handed over the letter of appeal for peace, and the generals of the Three Kingdoms also came to Zheng Guo. He intends to make an alliance with Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo has a grand Yanyin banquet today, which is the Yanyin banquet for accepting the Three Kingdoms Peace Covenant.

Qi Lv planned to invite Song Gong and Yi and Kong Fujia over Yan Yin. After raising Kong Fujia for so many days, it was at the last juncture.

Qi Lu knows that Song Gong is very smart, and Song Gong also understands Qi Lu's careful thinking. Song Gong and Yi have made up their minds not to fall into the trap, but Qi Lu still has a backup, if he is in front of someone else The face of the three countries treats Kong Fu Jia kindly, but treats Song Gong and Yi badly. Song Gong lost all face in front of other countries. Qi Lu sees that he can still hold on and maintain a normal heart?

Yanyin's banquet today was very grand, and the generals from the other three countries who came to seek peace also arrived early. They didn't dare to make a fuss at all, so they entered the Yanyin Palace ahead of time and waited.

Qi Lv put on the official robes of the Taifu, well-dressed, with a smile on his face, seeing Qi Lv's smile on his shoulders, he felt that someone might suffer today.

The hall of Yanyin was peaceful, Mr. Zheng Boxu had arrived, and Wu Jiang also came to the banquet today, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

Ji Lin has been the emperor for the past few months, and he already knows some unwritten rules, such as the most important person must come last to appear.

Ji Lin was wearing a black emperor's court robe, made of silk, which was light, soft and fit well, and set off the tall and straight figure of the emperor. When he walked, he wished he could outline all the lines of his muscular thighs, revealing a The sexy breath of a mature man.

It's already the end of summer, and with the dinner party, the sky is gloomy and the temperature has dropped a little, so Ji Lin added a black gauze shirt over the black silk court robe.The gauze shirt was gathered outside, and it fluttered a little as he walked, and the silk clothes inside were very slippery, so the black gauze shirt always slid down the emperor's broad shoulders.

Qi Lv followed behind, the big goose in his heart was jumping fiercely again, he really wanted to pounce on it and tear off the dishonest gauze shirt for the emperor!

"Meet the Son of Heaven!"

"My king is forever!"

"Meet the Son of Heaven—"

"My king, Wannian—"

Attending the banquet this time, apart from the host Zheng Guo, there were also envoys from Chen Guo, Cai Guo, and Wei Guo who came to seek peace. Of course, there were also envoys from Song Guo.All the monarchs and great Sima of Song State are locked up in Zheng State. Of course, Song State has to send envoys to mediate. Unfortunately, the highest-ranking person in Song State is Huadu. He was not very interested in rescuing Song Gong and Yi and Da Sima Kong Fujia, nor was he very active, but the envoy sent by Song State to attend the banquet was Huadu himself.

Coupled with the high officials around the emperor, this banquet can be described as grand and unusual.

Zheng Boweisheng, the host, invited Ji Lin to sit down, and after everyone greeted him, they all entered the table one after another.

The envoys from various countries entered the seats and took a closer look. The captured king of Song Dynasty and Da Sima were also at the banquet. Da Sima Kong Fujia sat on the upper seat. Everything is available, but the monarch and barbarians of the Song Dynasty were placed in a very low position.

It's not that you can't see it at a glance, on the contrary, you can see Song Gong and Yi at a glance, because it's quite eye-catching for a majestic monarch to sit so remote, and the seats of Song Gong and Yi are all there.

Not to mention the "prestige" beef, there is no meat at all, there are a few millet pancakes, and a bean soup. There are a few oil stars floating in the soup, and there is a fishbone and two vegetable leaves in it. It's like some kind of pot water.

When everyone saw this scene, they almost thought they had given Song Gong and Yi a wrong meal.

Song Gong and Yi darkened their faces. The banquet was so grand, and he was a duke after all, so he ended up like this. Moreover, he was in stark contrast to Kong Fujia. Being pointed at by a group of envoys was like watching a monkey. generally looked at him.

Did Kong Fujia look pretty?He naturally knew what Qi Lu's plan was, and after so many days of supporting him, he finally reached the final juncture.

Kong Fujia couldn't eat the meal at all, but when Qi Lv passed Kong Fujia's banquet, he smiled and said to Kong Fujia: "These dishes are all Da Sima's favorite. Sima Ke needs to eat more, if Da Sima doesn't eat much, the emperor will not like it for a while, and it will be a bad thing if he directly castrates Duke Song!"

How could Kong Fujia not hear the threat of being naked/naked/naked, because everyone else is far away from them, and only Qi Lu and Kong Fujia can be seen chatting and laughing happily.

Song Gong and Yi sat in a remote corner. This humiliation was not only for Song Gong and Yi, but also for the envoys of the other three countries. The envoys were all trembling, fearing that they would become the second in the Song Kingdom, and hurriedly began to negotiate peace. gift.

Chen Guo was the most vacillating, and Chen Guo's envoy stood up, smiled very graciously, and said: "The emperor knows, I, Chen Guo, are loyal to Da Zhou, and to the emperor, how can I have a rebellious heart? That day... that day really I don't know that the emperor is in the city, if I know, it will give us Chen Guo a hundred courage, no no, 120 courage, and we will never dare to use troops against the emperor."

As the envoy said, he immediately brought in gifts, not to mention money and beautiful jade, and there were also many beauties. Chen Guo heard that the emperor is not close to women, so when he came in to present beauties, he also sent many men. There are tall and strong ones, slender and enchanting ones, all kinds of looks, and there are a few beautiful ones who can cook.

Sitting at the banquet, Qi Lv was a little puzzled, did the people of Chen Guo have any hobbies? Why did they emphasize that this beauty can cook when presenting it to the emperor's beauty?Could it be that singing and dancing is no longer enough these days, what other skills are needed?

Qi Lu didn't know that because he was born as a small official, he was favored by the emperor, and the emperor is the "fashion vane" these days. The dignitaries and nobles all like to imitate the emperor's preferences, so people who can cook are especially special nowadays. Popular, but also more and more popular.

The other countries are really in the same place. Among the beauties who donated, there are all those who are good at cooking. Seeing those beauties surrounding Ji Lin to flatter them, Qi Lu felt angry, but now he is just a courtier. Well, the Son of Heaven is the king of Zhou, so there is no reason to be jealous. Besides, there is no gossip in the unofficial history that King Huan of Zhou, Ji Lin, loves Nanfeng.

Qi Lu clicked his tongue, picked up the wine glass and earcup, and took a sip of the wine to calm the sour gas in his stomach.

Because of the taste, Qi Lu drank an extra glass of wine, but felt that the wine was stronger than usual, and it was a bit hot, so he put down the wine glass and earcups. He really didn't dare to drink any more, for fear that he might get drunk and die again. If you want to go crazy with alcohol, if you are drunk and rush up to moles the emperor in full view, your career as a favorite will come to an end...

Qi Lu put down his wine glass and earcups, and the emperor was surrounded by many beauties, so Qi Lu was ready to go out to dissipate the heat from his body.

As the mother of the state of Zheng, Wu Jiang was very low-key at the banquet, her eyes seemed to be half-open, a court lady quickly walked over, and whispered: "Ma'am, it's done."

Wu Jiang immediately opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong?"

The maid smiled and said: "Madam, please don't worry, the servant girl asked the eunuch to change the Taifu's wine into 'Dabu' wine."

Just as he was talking, he saw Qi Lu got up and left the Yanyin Palace, and walked out.

Wu Jiang got up quickly and said: "Go quickly, bring Taifu Qi to my palace soon."

"Yes, ma'am." The maid immediately agreed with a smile, and followed Qi Lu out.

But that day, Mr. Zheng Bowu personally went to make a marriage proposal, but it was unsuccessful. Not only was he unsuccessful, but he also slipped Wu Jiang's beloved Gongsun to Master Luo and became Qi Lu's subordinate. Don't do it.

Zheng Bowusheng also wanted Qi Lu to stay in Zheng State, but it is not easy to force Qi Lu, he is a man of measure, so Wu Jiang rejected this matter, and did not bring it up again.Who knows that Wu Jiang is not good at letting go, and wants to take advantage of today's banquet to have a raw rice cooked...

Qi Lu came out of the banquet, looked left and right, but did not find Yan Yangjian and Shi Hou, so he just stood at the entrance of Yanyin Hall and did not go far.

Qi Lu stood by the lake outside the hall, blowing the cool night breeze, and felt a lot more comfortable, but for some reason, the heat only dissipated a little, and the fire in his belly couldn't dissipate no matter what, and it became more and more intense. He became very enthusiastic, and his head was buzzing, always thinking of the scene where the emperor was surrounded by beauties, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he wished he could directly hit the emperor and kiss him fiercely.

Qi Lv was thinking about this, when someone patted his shoulder suddenly, he thought it was a sheep shoulder looking for him, before he could look back, he suddenly felt a prick, his neck was numb, something pricked him, his whole body suddenly He fell down softly, his eyes went dark, although he was not considered to have lost consciousness, but he became groggy, and his whole body was so weak that he couldn't even lift his fingers.

Qi Lu fell headlong to the ground with a "Gudong", and several eunuchs came over, lowered their voices, and said, "Quiet down, hurry up, quickly carry it away, keep quiet down, don't let anyone find out."

Surrounded by a group of beauties, the Son of Heaven felt that the smell of the powder was so strong that it covered the taste of the dishes, and couldn't help but sneezed a few times, his face darkened and he was already impatient.

Ji Lin waved away the beauties around him, looked around, but didn't find Qi Lu's figure, so he stood up and looked for him, and also walked out of the Yanyin Hall, blowing the night breeze.

As soon as Ji Lin walked out, "Gudong!", a little bun suddenly bumped into his leg, and when he looked down, it turned out to be the little bun Baoshuya.

When Ji Lin saw Bao Shuya, he was just about to pick up the little bun and pinch his cheek when he heard Bao Shuya say in a childish voice, "Son of Heaven! Tai Fu Fu, Tai Fu Fu Bei, Bei—ren... ... woo woo..."

Bao Shuya stuttered a little, especially when he was nervous. Ji Lin hadn't seen Qi Lu just now, and Xiao Baozi cried and said, "Qi Lu was...", the rest couldn't say anything, almost Ji Lin was so anxious.

Guan Yiwu followed behind, and immediately said: "Son of Heaven, the adoptive father has been taken away."

Ji Lin's face was dark and ugly, and he said, "Who is it?"

The original little buns also came to the banquet, but Yan Yin was really boring, and the little guys couldn’t drink, so they went out to play after they were full. Guan Yiwu was playing hide-and-seek with Bao Shuya, and Bao Shuya was hiding in the grass, waiting for Guan Yiwu They came to arrest him, but unexpectedly saw the scene where the eunuch dragged Qi Lv away.

At that time, the little bun was so frightened that he wanted to cry, but Guan Yiwu was calmer, so he immediately brought Guan Yiwu to seek help from the emperor.

Guan Yiwu said with a stern face, "It's the eunuch next to Mrs. Zheng Guo."

When Ji Lin heard this, how could she hold her breath? Mrs. Zheng Guo showed her love to Qi Lu several times a few days ago, and even asked Mrs. Zheng Boyu to marry her. It was already very obvious. After Qi Lu refused, Zheng Guo
