Bringing the courtyard through [delicate] lady killed like crazy

Chapter 231 1 Piece of Green

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the sound of ceremonial music rang out.

Everyone who was talking in the hall returned to their seats.

After a while, as the eunuchs sang loudly, the Emperor and the Empress arrived.

Everyone stood up, and then knelt on the floor in the hall.

All of them shouted, "Long live His Majesty, and may Your Majesty live a thousand years of peace and happiness."

At this moment, everyone in the hall was kneeling, just to welcome the two people who came hand in hand.

This is the imperial power, the supreme existence.

Li Jiaojiao imitated Qi Yuyi's posture beside her and lay on the ground obediently, thinking that she should have added a requirement of not kneeling when rewarding her.

Go back and discuss with the emperor to replace the golden medal of immunity from death with a golden medal of immunity from kneeling. I wonder if it will work.

At worst, she can just contribute a little more.

"Get up."

Emperor Qing was in a good mood today and he called out as soon as he showed up.

Everyone stood up and sat down.

Li Jiaojiao looked up at the woman sitting below Emperor Qing.

She wore a complicated palace dress of the same color as Emperor Qing, with a large-sleeved blouse and a shawl embroidered with auspicious clouds and flying phoenixes. She wore a filigree and kingfisher-embroidered headdress with five phoenixes holding pearls, which made her look dignified and beautiful.

That is the queen of Daqing, who is second only to the emperor.

She is the only one who can stand beside Emperor Qing in important occasions.

As long as I am alive, you will always be my concubines...

Even if the queen has lost her favor, she is still the queen.

From her point of view, isn't the existence of Concubine Chen just that of a vixen who seduces her master?

As for Lu Liang, he was naturally a lowly bastard son born to a vixen, who wanted to shake the status of the legitimate son.

Sometimes people have different standpoints, and what they hear and see are different.

Li Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, stared quietly at the three-acre field in front of her and smiled faintly.

What about the Queen?

She had already taken a stand a long time ago!

She likes fox spirits the most, and she hopes to raise one to keep Ali and the little wolf company when she has the chance.

Have a banquet.

As the emperor and empress took their seats, the melodious sound of stringed instruments rang out again, and the twenty-four magnificent doors of the hall, which were carved with dragons and painted with phoenixes, slowly opened at the same moment.

The dancer, dressed in gorgeous red and white feathered clothes, entered with light steps. She had a graceful figure, the jingling of her jewelry, and she spun, jumped, and flicked her long sleeves, thus opening the curtain of the banquet.

At the same time, countless palace maids held jade plates in their hands, and dishes of palace delicacies were presented to the table one by one.

Although this palace banquet was not a Mid-Autumn Festival or New Year's banquet, Emperor Qing summoned the chef from Zuixianlou in the capital to the palace early in the morning to prepare the palace banquet together with the imperial chef.

The food at the palace banquet was naturally different from before.

One after another, exquisite appetizers were served and presented in front of the distinguished guests in exquisite dishes.

There will be some differences in the dishes according to their grade. The higher the rank of nobleman, the more exquisite and rare the dishes will be.

For example: An exquisite white jade plate appeared on the table of the princes and ministers in front, and inside it were green beans of uniform length and neatly arranged.

There was also a small plate of crystal clear chicken feather vegetables.

A plate of fried pork with peppers.

A plate of scrambled eggs with spinach.

……

The ministers who had been to the emperor's vegetable garden naturally knew what was coming up, but there were also ministers such as Prince Rong, Marquis Xie and some others who had never been to the vegetable garden and were completely confused.

The dishes served at palace banquets have always been small and exquisite snacks.

This is the first time I have seen such simple vegetables served right away in my entire life.

Qi Yuyi looked at the green water in front of her except for the snacks, and her eyebrows twitched.

She turned around and secretly looked at Li Jiaojiao beside her. Could it be that these were vegetables she grew? They didn't look very strange.

It doesn't matter at first glance, because everyone else's table is all green, but the white wolf's table is all meat.

Because she was far away, she couldn't see clearly what kind of meat it was, but just looking at the presentation, there were several kinds. The people below would not be bored and put the same kind of meat on several different plates.

Could it be that the dish is presented to the wolves?

Does it understand?

She looked at the white wolf suspiciously, only to see that the white wolf was chewing a piece of meat with relish. Perhaps he noticed her gaze, and turned his head to look at her while chewing the meat.

Qi Yuyi's eyes met Xiaolang's for a moment, and a pair of dark, human-like eyes made Qi Yuyi drop the chopsticks in his hand.

Just as the song ended, there was a crisp sound of chopsticks hitting the plate.

"Yuyi, what's wrong?" Emperor Qing's voice came from above, his words gentle.

He was quite fond of the only girl of the royal generation.

He is not a spoiled child, but lively and generous, and he is not a worried child either.

Qi Yuyi stood up in a hurry, "Uncle Emperor, please forgive me, Yuyi, Yuyi was just... attracted by the... white wolf."

She spoke softer and softer, and finally she simply lowered her head, frowned and closed her eyes where no one could see. She couldn't say that she was scared by the white wolf.

So embarrassing.

However, anyone who sees a pair of human eyes on the body of a giant beast would be scared.

How dare she raise one?

Can you sleep at night?

Isn't she afraid that it will devour her due to its viciousness?

“Hahahahahaha… Princess Fuyao’s white wolf is indeed heroic. You haven’t seen it before, so it’s inevitable that you are attracted to it. Sit down and change a pair of chopsticks for Princess Yuyi.” Emperor Qing pressed his hand towards Qi Yuyi and gave instructions to the people below.

Qi Yuyi sat down.

Li Jing waved his hand, and a eunuch bowed and left.

The emperor personally ordered to change the chopsticks, and these chopsticks were not ordinary chopsticks. The chopsticks were "straight" and "even", which had a special meaning, representing integrity and unity.

The chopsticks ordered by the emperor are usually golden chopsticks used as rewards, which is an invisible reward.

When the people below heard Emperor Qing start praising Bai Lang and set up a special seat for him, they immediately began to echo him.

"The White Wolf is heroic..."

"White Wolf looks extraordinary..."

"White Wolf..."

Li Jiaojiao lowered her shoulders. As expected, even the emperor's fart smelled good, even though everyone was scared to death before.

She was seated among the princes, sitting high and seeing far, and could easily see the expressions of the people below.

This is just how life is.

"Okay, everyone, please try these dishes!" Emperor Qing spoke and picked up a string bean with chopsticks.

Anyone who has these dishes in front of them, whether they have seen them before or not, knows where they came from and is eager to know the taste of each dish.

The Emperor just mentioned Princess Fuyao. Just because she cured the plague in Yuncheng, she couldn't be made a princess.

The task His Majesty assigned to you was to cure the plague in Yuncheng. You have completed it. It is your duty. At most, I will praise you a few words.

Didn’t you see that Prince Xie, Minister Lin, and Censor Li who went with you didn’t receive any rewards when they returned?

You receive a salary from the court and you are doing your job. It is your duty if you do it well.

If you don't do it well, you will be punished.

People like this who get promoted right away must have made extraordinary contributions. Of course, everyone now roughly knows what those contributions were.

Now that I’m at the entrance, I know what it is.

Everyone chewed slowly, savoring the food carefully, in case the emperor asked them to compose a poem on the spot, they needed enough time to think.

After all, I haven’t written poetry or couplets for many years. Going to work every day makes me feel like a working class kid. Where is the passion of my youth?

For example, the old-fashioned Minister Lin and Censor Li, on their way back from Yuncheng, the two old men had smiles on their faces every day, which was so warm and gentle.

I can chat with dogs whenever I see them.

Now, as he sat among the crowd in the hall, an aura of "no strangers allowed" surrounded him, wrapping him up tightly in it, giving him an air of "no strangers allowed".
