Food for the people

After lunch, the Queen Mother was also tired, Qiao Yu and Lu Jincheng did not stay in Duanyang Palace, and led Qiao Ling back to Mingxuan Pavilion.

It’s still some time before the dinner, they came early and had a conversation with the Queen Mother, Qiao Yu and Qiao Ling whetted the Queen Mother’s appetite again, and had a good lunch. There was something to do, so they simply asked Qiao Ling to tidy up Qiao Ling's wing, and they all prepared to take a nap.

Although Qiao Ling performed well with the Empress Dowager, he was a little nervous after all. Now that he was out of the Duanyang Palace to relax, he was indeed sleepy and yawned. After Qiao Yu said hello, she went back to her room to take a nap.

After Qiao Ling left, Lu Jincheng waved back the maids and eunuchs waiting in the hall, leaving only him and Qiao Yu in the entire hall.

Light and nice-smelling incense was lit in the hall, and ice boxes were placed at the four corners. The temperature was not bad. Qiao Yu yawned and felt sleepy. He sat on the bed, but felt a little embarrassed to sleep.

The last time he came to Mingxuan Pavilion was on his birthday... He was very impressed with this bed, and now there were only the two of them left in the palace, so he felt a little embarrassed.

Lu Jincheng could tell what was going on in his head just by looking at his expression, so he pulled him into his arms, and deliberately teased: "Qiaoer is not sleeping, is she waiting for me?"

Without waiting for Qiao Yu to speak, he kissed Qiao Yu's forehead again, and continued, "It's a pity that I'm in a hurry today, and I feel so itchy that I can't do anything."

Qiao Yu hadn't thought about it that much at first, but when he said it, he felt that there was an image in his head, how could he dare to listen to him, rolled over into the bed, pulled up the quilt, turned his back to Lu Jincheng, and closed his eyes up.

Seeing that he closed his eyes, Lu Jincheng gave a chuckle, and instead of lying down, he half leaned against the bed, fanned Qiao Yu with a folding fan, and put a book on his lap slowly. turned over.

Qiao Yu heard the sound of flipping a book behind her, so she turned her head to take a look. Seeing that Lu Jincheng was not sleeping but was reading, she leaned over to take a look and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Lu Jincheng smiled, and reached out to touch his ear, "Spring/Gong/Picture, Qiaoer, do you want to see it?"

Qiao Yu's ears were itchy from being touched by him, so she simply rubbed her head over to Lu Jincheng's lap, tapped her fingers on the spine of the book twice, and blinked at Lu Jincheng: "My lord doesn't even sleep with me. If you dare, you won't look at the spring/gong/picture in front of my face."

Lu Jincheng was taken aback for a moment, then narrowed his eyes, and wrapped his arms around Qiao Yu's neck, forcing him to raise his head and kiss him. Then he made someone lie down in his arms, rubbed Qiao Yu's ears with moderate force, and made a hoarse voice. Said: "Qiaoer is smart, if you don't want to miss the imperial brother's palace banquet, it's better not to tease me."

Qiao Yu accepted it when he saw it was good, and was indeed a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes obediently and said, "Then, please read to me the book you read, and coax me to sleep faster."

He acted coquettishly to Lu Jincheng, and Lu Jincheng had nothing to do with him. Even if he was reading an ancient book that Qiao Yu thought was meaningless, he read it to him word by word according to Qiao Yu's meaning. Without stopping a single hand, a gust of cool wind was fanned beside Qiao Yu.

The incomprehensible book, together with Lu Jincheng's deep and magnetic voice and the cool breeze gently blowing by his face, could not be more hypnotic, but after a while, Qiao Yu's breathing became long and slow.

Qiao Yu fell asleep and Lu Jincheng did not move, but slowly stopped the sound of reading, and the hall fell silent again. He leaned over and kissed Qiao Yu's forehead again, brushing the hair that fell on Qiao Yu's cheek. Then, he looked away and looked at the book.

Qiao Yu slept very comfortably this time. When he woke up, the sun had already started to set, but his peripheral vision was still very bright. A spot of light fell on Qiao Yu's face through the window, shaking him awake from his sleep.

He opened his eyes and looked to the side, but there was no one around, and he was no longer in Lu Jincheng's arms.

Before he lifted the quilt and got up, someone knocked lightly on the door, Sanqi called him in a low voice outside, Qiao Yu answered, and the door was slowly pushed open, Sanqi showed his head from the outside, Said: "Sir, get up."

Qiao Yun hummed, got up and put on her clothes, and asked, "Where is the prince?"

Sanqi said: "The prince is outside, the banquet is about to start, Meng Shangshu is also here, and he is talking to the prince outside at the moment, the prince is here to let me see if the young master is awake."

Qiao Yu nodded, without further words, got up and left the bedroom.

A table was set up in a small pavilion outside Mingxuan Pavilion, and there was a small pond next to it. There were a few swimming fish in the pond. When Qiao Yu went out, Lu Jincheng and Meng Zhao were sitting in the pavilion talking, and Lu Jincheng was sitting in the pavilion. Facing him, Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows at a glance, and the corner of his lips curled up, stopping the conversation.

Seeing this, Meng Zhao turned his head and saw that it was indeed Qiao Yu who was walking this way, so he quickly greeted Qiao Yu with a smile.

Qiao Yu and Meng Zhao were already acquainted, so they didn't exchange much greetings, and asked Lu Jincheng, "Where's Xiaoling?"

"It's almost time for the banquet. It's not convenient for Xiaoling to go with us. The queen mother has already picked him up first. When we leave, go to the queen mother's place and let him pick him up."

Qiao Yu nodded, that's how they arranged it in the first place, the Queen Mother liked Qiao Ling very much, so Qiao Yu felt more at ease with her.

It was about the same time, and Lu Jincheng and Meng Zhao didn't talk too much. After Qiao Yu washed up, he followed the little eunuch who led the way to Guangyu Palace.

The three of them entered Guangyu Palace in a hurry. When they arrived, the people inside were already full, and they were sitting on their seats doing nothing. When they heard the sound of someone walking at the door, they all turned their heads to look. When they saw that it was Lu Jincheng and Meng Zhao who came, they all looked at Qiao Yu inquisitively.

Ever since the emperor announced the news of King Yan's marriage in the court hall, everyone has been very curious about this Princess Yan. On the second day, some people couldn't help but go to Deyulou to see what happened, before everyone picked Qiao up one by one. After reading it all over, Yu heard that Wen Shangshu's son went to Deyulou to speak rudely, and he didn't know what exactly caused the trouble. In short, when he came out, his face and body were covered with paint, and he heard that Prince Yan himself was still in Deyulou. It is conceivable who the person is.

Although King Yan's marriage is absurd and strange, if King Yan really has feelings for Princess Yan, they can't act presumptuously in front of Princess Yan anyway. No one dared to touch Prince Yan's reverse scales.

So until now, there are not many people who have actually met Qiao Yu.

So when Qiao Yu suddenly showed his face, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at him.

The meanings in everyone's eyes are different, but the meaning of scrutiny is the same. They are all like knives. I can't wait to study this Princess Yan thoroughly from the inside out, and by the way, also follow the real concern between King Yan and him out.

In fact, Qiao Yu doesn't care if others look at him. He came here today for everyone to look at, and he has long been prepared to be stared at and studied. On his head, he still has the generosity of his eyes.

However, with Qiao Yu's generosity, Lu Jincheng may not have it. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Qiao Yu, he snorted coldly, pulled Qiao Yu behind him, and swept his gaze away from everyone , as cold as ice, the heart of the person who was swept away jumped, he didn't expect that even a glance would arouse his dissatisfaction, so he hurriedly moved his eyes aside in a pretense of inadvertently.

Only then did Lu Jincheng lower his profile picture, as if he had changed his face. He looked at Qiao Yu with a gentle expression and said, "Go, go and sit over there."

Qiao Yu twitched his lips and nodded at him.

Although Lu Jincheng has no official position, after all, his status is here. One person is under ten thousand people. Now that the emperor is not here, everyone in the room respects him. His seat is naturally the closest to the emperor's seat. Qiao Yu Meng Zhao's seat is next to him, and Meng Zhao's seat is lower and cannot sit with them, but the seat is not far away, right next to them.

After Lu Jincheng and Qiao Yu sat down, many people staring at Qiao Yu realized that today's banquet seemed to be specially set up by the emperor for this Princess Yan.

Those who were farther away from them couldn't help it. Of course they didn't dare to speak loudly in front of them, but they also got together with those next to them and whispered in a low voice.

The emperor hasn't come yet, and there are no serious dishes on the table in front of them, but there are still some pastries and fruits, but although the pastries and fruits are on display, but the emperor is not here, naturally no one dares to eat first, they are all beautiful Put it on the table for viewing.

Qiao Yu didn't notice this. Although he ate something in Duanyang Palace at noon, he woke up after a nap and had almost digested it. There were pastries on the table and a plate cut open The bright red watermelon soaked in cold water makes me feel thirsty and want to eat more.

He glanced at the watermelon twice, and stretched out a hand beside him, and put a piece of watermelon in front of him.

"Eat what you want. If you like it, I'll ask Brother Huang to ask for some when I leave, and I'll take it back to my house to eat." Lu Jincheng put the watermelon in front of Qiao Yu and said softly.

Lu Jincheng opened his mouth, and Qiao Yu was naturally not polite. He took two bites of the watermelon. The watermelon was sweet and juicy. After he ate it, Lu Jincheng took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it for him. Juice running down my hands.

Although no one was staring at Qiao Yu blatantly at the moment, his every move was still watched by everyone. Seeing that he didn't even wait for the emperor to enter the arena, he took some fruit and started to eat without authorization, and then started three times. Groups of five murmured.

"There is no king, it's not proper! What a countryman! How can you be in the elegant hall!"

Everyone murmured, but the voice was still very low. After all, Qiao Yu's status is not ordinary now. No matter how many opinions he had, no one dared to speak them out in front of Prince Yan. So when everyone heard that someone really When he dared to say what he thought in his heart in front of Lord Yan, he looked at the visitor in shock.

Qiao Yu had just finished eating a bite of watermelon, Lu Jincheng leisurely wiped Qiao Yu's hands with a handkerchief, and then looked up at the speaker.

"What does Master He mean?"

He En stared like a copper bell, looked at Qiao Yu with disgust in his eyes, and said, "That's what the prince thinks."

Everyone present was astonished, how did He Shen know how to act so recklessly, and even confronted Prince Yan again?
