Shen Zhiyan picked up the teacup and drank it down, "It seems that the clues have been broken after checking here. But don't worry, Your Highness, I have ordered the servants of Dali Temple to go to the jade shop to investigate, and I will go back to Dali Temple to ask later."
Murong Ci pondered for a while, and said, "Do you think that ballad is weird?"
"You mean, that ballad might have a prophetic effect"
"If it can really predict the future, then something will happen next." She said firmly, "It's raining all over the sky, fish cannibalism, will someone be eaten by fish in a few days?"
"Eat enough before thinking about it. I'm so hungry that my chest is sticking to my back." He wailed, "The weather is clear these few days. How could it rain? It's so strange to say that it's raining."
She couldn't tell why, when the waiter brought the food, they devoured it.
After eating and drinking enough to leave Deyue Tower, Murong Ci decided to go back to the palace to ask the old jade craftsman.
Shen Zhiyan went back to Dali Temple and asked his subordinates if they had detected anything, and then smiled as brightly as the blue sky, "At dusk, I will take the beef to the East Palace, wash my hands and make beef for Your Highness to try."
She returned to the East Palace and sent someone to summon the old jade craftsman, while she lay down on the brocade couch and closed her eyes to rest for a while after changing clothes.
The old jade craftsman has been working on jade wares in the palace for most of his life, and his craftsmanship can be regarded as the top in Luoyang City.
He turned over and looked at the blood jade carefully, his wrinkled face was full of surprise, his hands trembled because of excitement, "Your Highness, this is the best blood jade."
"Can you see where this blood jade came from?"
"Blood jade is extremely rare and precious, and its origin has always been a mystery. However, I can assure you that this kind of blood jade cannot be produced in Yan." The old jade craftsman was still excited, "Your Highness, where did you get this blood jade?"
"You don't need to pay attention to this." Murong Ci couldn't find any clues, and Murong Ci's brain hurt, "The shopkeeper of the jade shop in the city said that the blood jade was dug out from the corpses in the cemetery for hundreds or thousands of years."
"The shopkeeper was only half right." The old jade craftsman said seriously, "The dark red and maroon color in the blood jade is actually called Hongqin, also called Xueqin. There are two kinds of blood jade, one is like that The shopkeeper said that it was dug out from a long-standing corpse. One kind of jade was buried in the ground, and the iron in the soil slowly seeped into the jade. After hundreds or thousands of years, the dark red in the whole piece of jade became more and more. It turned into blood."
"So that's how it is." She suddenly realized, but she couldn't solve the mystery of the blood jade from the sky.
After the old jade craftsman left, he said Ruyi: "Your Highness, why don't you rest first?"
Murong Ci lay on the brocade couch, closed his eyes, Ruyi gently fetched a small blanket and covered His Highness, then withdrew.
The wind and rain were violent, she ran in the storm and rushed to the Qingyuan Hall
The royal father was lying on the dragon couch with a peaceful and peaceful face, but no matter how much she called, the royal father would not wake up or open his eyes, as if he had gone to another world.
She screamed anxiously, and suddenly saw more than a dozen blood jades beside her father, blood suddenly flowed out from those blood jades, more and more blood filled the entire dragon couch, her father seemed to be lying in a sea of blood.
She shouted "Royal Father" hoarsely, trembling in horror, but Royal Father was still asleep.
Blood water continuously flowed out from the blood jade and flowed onto the palace bricks, as if it was going to spread to the entire bedroom, and the blood filled the Qingyuan Hall
She wanted to save her father through the sea of blood, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't move.
father emperor
Murong Ci was panting violently, and her chest heaved violently. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, which were wide open.
When Ruyi heard the shrill "Father", she rushed in and comforted her softly, "Your Highness, are you having a nightmare?"
Murong Ci was panting badly, his mouth was dry and he couldn't speak.
Ruyi wiped the sweat from her forehead with a cloth towel, "It's just a nightmare, not real. Your Highness, let's have a cup of tea."
Saying that, Ruyi brought a teacup and served her to drink tea.
After drinking tea, Murong Ci tidied up and came to the outer hall. At this time, the sun was thinning in the west, and the beautiful sunset painted a layer of golden blood on the palace walls.
The evening breeze is coming, and a little coolness is blowing on the face, which is very refreshing.
"Your Highness, Lord Shen has arrived and is cooking in the dining room." Ruyi smiled.
"Oh, I'm going to take a look."
When Murong Ci came outside the dining room, he saw that the cook and palace servants were all driven out by Shen Zhiyan, and he was the only one busy in the dining room.
She waved away the cook and the palace servants, and asked, "Have you found anything in Dali Temple?"
He put two pieces of beef into the smoky pot, and there was a crisp creaking sound immediately, "I asked, but I didn't find any useful clues."
She sat on a small stool, sighed helplessly, there was no clue to find out
Although the person who committed the crime is likely to be someone from the palace, but there are so many palace people, how to find out? Do we need to search the palace one by one
"Your Highness, don't be too discouraged. This incident has not harmed anyone, so let's stop with silence."
Shen Zhiyan asked the attendants to pay attention to the heat, and said something.
Murong Ci knew that there was nothing terrible about this matter for the time being, but it had spread throughout the palace, and many palace people were secretly talking about the blood jade falling from the sky.
Thinking of the nightmare she had just now, she felt uneasy, always feeling that something was going to happen.
Not long after, he came out with two blue and white porcelain plates, and smiled brightly, "Your Highness, go eat beef."
The burnt aroma was tangy, and the aroma of beef came out. When she smelled it, she immediately moved her index finger, "This is how you cook beef."
Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows mysteriously, and went straight to the main hall.
Sitting in front of the table, Murong Ci looked at a piece of steaming tender beef on a blue and white porcelain plate, "Why did you cut the beef so thin and small?"
"It's not too small. If you eat this piece of beef, you will be full. You can also have supper at night." He urged with a playful smile, "Taste it quickly."
"Such a big piece, how to eat"
She picked up the silver chopsticks and picked them up, but he stopped her.
He held up a delicate dagger, "I'm so smart, of course I invented an interesting and fun way to eat it. Come, let me help you."
With that said, Shen Zhiyan brought over her plate of fried beef, held down one side of the beef with a silver chopstick, cut out a small piece with a dagger, and then cut out a small piece. Then, he returned the plate of beef to her, "Yes?"
Murong Ci ate the two small pieces of beef first, and the aftertaste was endless, "It is tender and smooth, with a unique flavor, very wonderful."
Qin Ruo and Ruyi were dumbfounded, eating like this is too weird.
"In fact, the method is very simple, but the beef needs to be marinated, and I also need my exclusive secret cumin spice. This kind of fried beef not only has the most authentic taste of beef, but also can incorporate my exclusive secret spice into the beef. It looks delicious and delicious." He danced and said while cutting the beef, "Your Highness, do you know how I invented this way of eating? Once, when I was doing an autopsy, I found a red iron piece on the calf of the deceased woman. Burned"
"Say another word, and Ben Gong will put the beef on your face." Murong Ci lowered his head and cut the beef, speaking unhurriedly.
"Master Shen, you should concentrate on eating." Qin Ruo said with a smile.
Shen Zhiyan didn't take it seriously at all, and smiled and said, "Next time, I'll make two extra yuan for you to try."
Ruyi smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Shen."
At this time, a servant rushed to report: "Your Highness, Princess Duanrou is asking to see you."
Before the sound landed, a person rushed up from behind, and the guards couldn't stop him.
Murong Ci frowned speechlessly, why is she here again
Qin Ruo and Ruyi hurriedly stretched out their arms to stop them, "May I ask Princess Duanrou what's important?"
Murong Shi patted their arms, and said solemnly: "Of course I have something important to do with His Royal Highness, very important thing."
Qin Ruo and Ruyi blocked them again, but unexpectedly she bent down and slipped under their arms. It's not easy for them to grab her and stop her, so they hurriedly chased after her, "Your Highness, the princess"
When Murong Shi saw Shen Zhiyan was there, she was a little surprised, but she quickly returned to normal and bowed to Murong.
Shen Zhiyan stood up and saluted, "Meet the princess."
"What are you eating?" She looked at the plate of beef and swallowed, "Is this beef? It's such a strange beef, but it seems quite delicious."
"Princess, the official is discussing important matters with His Highness." Seeing His Highness's face as cold as autumn water, he knew that His Highness was not in a good mood right now.
"Aren't you guys eating?" Murong Shi sat down and picked up the whole piece of beef with silver chopsticks, "I happen to be hungry too, I'll try how the beef tastes."
After finishing speaking, she took a big bite, chewed, nodded and smiled in surprise, "Your Highness, this beef is delicious."
Shen Zhiyan's whole body was stiff, as if he had been struck by thunder, with a look of lovelessness.
Qin Ruo and Ruyi only expressed their helplessness and mourned for his beef.
Murong Ci ate the beef leisurely, ignoring what was happening in front of him.
"Princess, this beef belongs to the lower officials." Shen Zhiyan reminded in a low voice, laughing dryly.
"Really? But I've already bitten it. There's my saliva. It's mine. Do you still want to eat it?" Murong Shi said while chewing with relish, unable to speak clearly.
"Then give it to the princess." Frustrated, he looked at His Highness with a bitter face.
Murong Ci emphasized word by word in a cold voice: "Master, this is not Yuwang Mansion, but the East Palace."
The implication is, Princess, you ignore the palace rules so much, how should I punish you
Murong Shi happily ate the beef, and smiled coquettishly, "I know it's the East Palace."
Shen Zhiyan clenched his fists tightly, worried about her IQ, "You trespassed on the East Palace and enjoyed your meal here without His Highness's permission. Princess Duanrou, you are so brave."
"Your Highness will not blame me for being rude, because from now on, I will be His Highness's companion."
Murong Shi said with a smile, her brows forming crescent moons.
Even though she smiles sweetly and cutely, it still can't change the fact that her IQ and EQ are touching, which makes people gnash their teeth in anger.
Murong Ci, Shen Zhiyan and the other four looked confused, and the princess was accompanied by the prince
Murong Ci's heart seems to have ten thousand horses galloping past, why doesn't she, the crown prince, know
