Now Emperor Taiping finally understood why so many people beat their chests and felt unwilling when Guilinju closed. The reason for Bofu.
After eating such dishes, I realized that what I ate in the past few decades was not called a dish at all.
Emperor Taiping was a little jealous of his own brother.
Wen Qing was taken out by Lan Momo after introducing the five dishes.
Emperor Taiping, who has always been quite controlled in terms of diet, today his rationality failed to overcome his appetite, and he even ate three bowls of rice in one go.
This has not happened for many years.
The five dishes with ample portions went into the stomachs of the two oldest brothers in less than a quarter of an hour.
Eunuch Wei, who was dressed in casual clothes next to him and came to serve him, was so shocked that his small eyes widened.
Although he wanted to comfort the emperor that it is not good to overeat like this, but he himself was drooling at the sight...
"I didn't expect this girl Jinyi to be so good at cooking." Emperor Taiping touched his protruding stomach and was very satisfied. In terms of food, he hadn't eaten so happily for a long time.
It was not the first time for King Wei to eat dishes made by Chu Lian. He was deeply touched when he ate the roast duck.
Thinking of the roast duck, King Wei beamed brightly and said: "Brother, you haven't tasted the roast duck made by that girl, it is a must. There is not enough time today, otherwise I will ask that girl to cook more roast duck."
"Oh? Roast duck? How does it compare to what Father ate before?"
The two brothers also inherited the fault of the first emperor who loved to eat roast duck. When the first emperor was still alive, he would eat roast duck every now and then. Later, his health became bad. The imperial doctor told the first emperor not to eat greasy food, and he would often steal it...
Wei Wang smiled mysteriously, "Brother, let me keep a close eye on whether it is delicious. When Jinyi opens a store, brother can go and taste it in person."
"Oh? This girl is going to open a shop again? What happened to Gui Linju before?"
When the king of Wei heard the emperor's question, he briefly explained the matter.
Emperor Taiping frowned, "This matter was indeed done by the old matriarch of the uncle's mansion."
King Wei smiled. Both of them were of extraordinary status. Although they heard about such a matter, they would not take it seriously. If they even meddled in such a small matter, it would make people think that the royal family is meddling in their own business.
The plates on the table had been removed, and freshly brewed tea was placed in front of both of them.
It is rare to have such a leisurely afternoon.
Emperor Taiping suddenly asked: "Why is Jinyi in Jiudi's residence today?"
Chu Lian's purpose in coming to Wei Wang's mansion was already informed by Wei Wang's servants.
At this time, Emperor Taiping asked in person, and he said it straight.
Emperor Taiping frowned, "Is there such a thing? This is too much nonsense. This Jing'an residence is in a mess, but Jing Anbo should really be called back earlier."
King Wei shook his head, "This is all a matter in the backyard of Uncle Jing'an Mansion. Brother, don't worry about it. My wife will help Jinyi handle it when the time comes."
Emperor Taiping chatted with King Wei for a while, and Eunuch Wei gently urged him to return to the palace.
When King Wei sent Emperor Taiping to the second gate, he happened to see the back of Chu Lian leaving with his maid.
Emperor Taiping was startled, but quickly regained his composure. He turned to King Wei and said, "This time, the Longevity Festival will be handed over to the ninth brother. Don't waste it."
"Brother, don't worry, I will follow my brother's wishes and won't waste people's money."
With Wei Wang's promise, Emperor Taiping took people out of Wei Wang's mansion.
Longevity Day is March 23. This year is the 50th birthday of Emperor Taiping. It is a big birthday.
In previous years, the Longevity Festival was celebrated in a simple manner, and the high-ranking officials and nobles in the court followed the style of Emperor Taiping, unless it was the tenth birthday, they were all held in a low-key manner.
But the small birthday is passed in a low-key way, but this year's 50th birthday can't be handled casually. The queen mother who has always ignored the affairs of the harem also said that this year's Longevity Day should be well organized.
The king of Wei did not participate in government affairs, and he was most trusted by Emperor Taiping, so it was most appropriate to entrust him with the birthday banquet, so there were those words that Emperor Taiping explained when he left.
After leaving the Wei Palace, Emperor Taiping boarded an inconspicuous green curtained carriage under the protection of his guards.
When he was about to get into the carriage, Emperor Taiping winked at He Lin, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army who was dressed as a martial artist. He Lin looked both ways, and quickly followed into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, He Lin clasped his fists and knelt in front of Emperor Taiping, "What orders do you have, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Taiping leaned against the wall of the car, his gaze far away.
His voice was calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion, but He Lin, who had been with Emperor Taiping for many years, had a feeling that Emperor Taiping was very dangerous at this moment.
"Send the secret guards to investigate the second master of the British government, I want to know everything about him!"
"Yes, this subordinate obeys!"
He Lin didn't dare to be negligent, turned around, got off the carriage, got on the fast horse, and disappeared at the end of the alley.
Chu Lian breathed a sigh of relief after getting out of Prince Wei's mansion and got into the carriage. Before leaving, Princess Wei agreed to help her stop the jade plaque that the old matriarch handed over to the palace.
As long as the old lady can't enter the palace and see the queen mother before father-in-law Jing Anbo returns.
Chu Lian returned to Jing'an Bo's mansion in the evening, and was summoned by the old matriarch as soon as he came back.
Chu Lian didn't even have time to go back to Songtao Garden to change into clothes.
In the flower hall of Qingwei Hall, the old matriarch was sitting on top with her head propped up, and the eldest aunt He Ying stared at her fiercely. As soon as Chu Lian saluted the old matriarch, He Ying asked loudly, "Sanlang's daughter-in-law?" ,where did you go!"
Chu Lian also knew that she couldn't hide her going to Prince Wei's mansion. There are so many people in Uncle Jing'an's mansion, all of them have eyes.
The old lady didn't let her sit down, and she didn't sit down anymore, she just stood straight in the hall.
Although her voice was soft and waxy, her tone was light, "Go back to Auntie, today I went to visit Princess Wei."
"Why do you want to go to Prince Wei's mansion for no reason! In the past few days, Prince Wei's mansion hasn't sent you a post at all! Wife of Sanlang, do you want to ruin the marriage between Sister Zhen and Dalang!" He Ying's expression was ferocious. It was flushed red, and it was obvious that he had lost his mind.
Chu Lian frowned, pursed her lips slightly, and didn't want to answer the words of her aunt He Ying.
Is it because of this that the old lady hastily recruited her? What absurdity!
He Ying stood on the top and stared at Chu Lian's young and beautiful face. She was already furious, but Chu Lian below stood still. Her expression was like watching a monkey playing tricks, and her eyes were full of contempt.
The old matriarch was also dissatisfied, but the old man could still suppress his anger, but He Ying was not so able to calm down.
Seeing that Chu Lian didn't answer, she strode forward angrily, raised her palm and slapped Chu Lian's white and tender cheek.
Wen Qing behind Chu Lian was startled when she saw it, but unfortunately she was two or three meters away from Chu Lian at this time, and she couldn't catch up with Chu Lian's slap at all.
He Ying's slap was full of anger, almost using the strength of breastfeeding.
She thought that the petite Chu Lian would be so slapped by her that she would lie on the ground bleeding from the corner of her mouth, but she didn't expect that Chu Lian would grab her wrist and block her slap.
Although her wrist was slender, she did not expect it to be so powerful.
"I advise my aunt to save some effort!" Chu Lian's clear eyes suddenly became sharp, and He Ying was stunned for a moment by such imposing eyes.
She said "you" several times, but couldn't say a complete sentence.
Because she couldn't believe that Saburo's daughter-in-law, who was usually gentle and gentle, would have such a strong time.
Chu Lian swung He Ying's wrist off, causing her to take a few steps back.
She blessed the old lady, "Grandmother, it's getting late, and grandson-in-law won't bother you, you should have a good rest."
After speaking, turn around and leave.
However, the old matriarch slammed his cane hard and made several dull "dong dong" sounds. The old matriarch shouted angrily: "Stop!"
Chu Lian took back the foot he had just stepped out, turned around, and looked at Mrs. He who was sitting at the top, whose face had turned into a pig's liver.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the eldest aunt He Ying, and a look of success flashed in He Ying's eyes.
Chu Lian's voice was calm, "What else does grandma want?"
"Do you still know that Laoshen is your grandmother? Huh, in your eyes, Laoshen is just an old woman who is dying!"
It was the first time Mrs. He said such harsh words.
The corners of Chu Lian's mouth curled up slightly, and she laughed self-deprecatingly, "Grandmother said so, but I don't dare to be my grandson-in-law!"
"Heh! What are you afraid to do? If you didn't dare, would you go to Prince Wei's mansion today? It's really nice to have Princess Wei as your backer!"
All the servants left in the flower hall were silent. This was the first time that the old matriarch and the third mistress had a direct conflict.
One is the eldest birthday star of the Bo family, and the other is the powerful young lady of the Bo house. When these two generations face off, it is really hard to say who will have the upper hand.
Mu Xiang stood in the corner with her head down, but there was a smile on her mouth.
She was obviously very satisfied with Chu Lian's current situation.
If something happened to the old matriarch now, no matter whether Chu Lian was right or wrong in what happened today, her reputation would be ruined.
Once Chu Lian is criticized and childless, even if Princess Wei is protecting her, she still has a way to make him leave He Changdi!
Chu Lian took a breath of the still cold air in the early spring, and calmed down a little bit. Then, her eyes like a clear pool fell on the old lady, and gradually became more and more determined.
She parted her red lips slightly, "Grandma, how long are you going to be confused!"
No one in the flower hall thought that the first sentence Chu Lian uttered would be like this, not even the old matriarch herself. She forgot the anger in her chest for a moment, and stared at Chu Lian blankly.
Chu Lian didn't wait for everyone to react, and continued: "Grandmother, your heart is so far away! Aunt is your daughter, and Pan Nianzhen is your granddaughter, so the father is not your son, and the mother is not your daughter-in-law. , eldest brother is not your grandson? Can you think more about them?"
"Jing'an uncle's mansion has been handed down for several generations. In order to give birth to the eldest brother, second brother, and husband, the third brother, my mother was severely deficient. She fell ill and was bedridden for more than ten years. She spent all her dowry for medicine. She moved uncle A copper plate in the government account?"
"Shouldn't she be the biggest contributor to the luxuriant uncle's mansion? How did you treat her? You just handed over the messy public account to her and forced her to put money into it! If father knew, he would Outside defending the frontiers for the uncle's mansion, protecting the family and the country, but my mother was being harassed by my grandmother at home, do you think he will feel chilled!"
