The Female Partner is My Favorite [Quickly Wear] - Chapter 97

Lu Xiu knew nothing about the gaze that was secretly watching her. Even if she knew her, she was fearless. After all, she had already understood Gu Mei’s trump card.

Approaching the evening, the banquet to welcome foreign envoys officially began.

The setting sun is slanting west, but inside the huge Changqing Hall, the lights are already brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo is endless.

The one sitting at the top was Emperor Guang. The next level he did was Lu Xuan Niao, and because of Lu Xuan Niao’s invitation, Gu Yan sat on the upper seat with Lu Xuan Niao, and for a while, let the people below People can’t see her expression clearly.

But in her capacity, being able to sit in the second seat is enough to make people envy and hate.

Among them are Gumei, Guangdi raises these cooks, just like ordinary rich and noble households raises these chefs, he always likes to serve the source of the food after they prepare the food, and tell them clearly, who said it. Whoever is good will be rewarded.

Gu Mei was standing behind the side hall that was blocked by a layer of gauze, watching the figure sitting in the second seat brightly lit.

That thin body and familiar facial features made her hate like a hundred claws scratching her heart. Once this person was crawling under her feet, letting her bully by herself, but…

Gu Mei hated her teeth clenched, and Zhenbeihou sitting below was so far away, she couldn’t see the appearance of Gu Yan at all, but she felt that this concubine was a little different from her own impression.

With her current honor, he recognized this prostitute!

The people sitting below have different thoughts, but Gu Yan only dared to lower his eyes to look at the tablecloth on the table, as if to carefully study the principle of the pattern on the tablecloth and how to weave it.

Lu Xiu looked amused, holding Gu Yan’s hand under the table, and gently scratching the palm of her hand: “Why, nervous?”

Gu Yan glanced at Lu Ling and nodded gently:

“His Royal Highness, how do I feel that they are all looking at me, I am a little scared…”

Lu Wei sat aside, looking like an outsider, she pursed her lips and smiled: “Whatever you look like, they can’t see you clearly anyway. As usual, just do whatever you want.

The dim sum on this table today is prepared by the imperial dining room specially ordered by me. It will not be too sweet. You can try it. “

Probably because Lu Niao’s voice was too secure, the tension in Gu Yan’s heart was relieved all at once: “I, I listen to your Highness.”

While talking, Gu Yan picked up a piece of pastry and took a small bite in the mouth. The sweet smell bloomed on the tip of her tongue, which made her bend her eyes in a good mood.

“It’s delicious, but your highness, this pastry is a bit too sweet, I dare not eat too sweet…”

Lu Ling shook his head, smiled, and squinted at Gu Yan: “Is it happy if you don’t eat? Eat more if you like it, and it’s fine. You said that it wasn’t because of illness. Wait for the future. When you grow up, I will give you a good explanation.”

Gu Yan could only nod his head obediently when Lu Xuan said this.

“good.”

But he grinds his teeth secretly. His Royal Highness always said that he would only explain to himself when he grew up, but when would he be able to grow up?

Gu Yan sighed inwardly, and then looked at the delicious pastries on the table in various shapes, turning grief and indignation into appetite, one by one, Lu Xiu smiled and watched without stopping her. .

At this moment, the singing and dancing had just stopped, and Emperor Guang smiled and said some scenes, and the foreign envoys below began their tribute.

“His Majesty, Emperor Dayu, we come from a distant country of grapes, and we have long heard of the great resources of Dayu. We are here today to exchange information with you and spread Dayu’s riches throughout the continent.”

The foreign envoys used stumbling Dayu words to say what he came from. The respectful attitude and the temptation of the famous reputation spread throughout the continent made Emperor Guang and the ministers involuntarily smile.

And Lu Qiu looked at the foreign envoy with a smile:

“Dare to ask the envoy of the grape country, how do you plan to make Dayu’s riches famous throughout the continent?”

The envoy of the grape country listened to Lu Xunxiu’s words, bowed his head and said respectfully: “I am going to write a biography of all my experiences during Da Yu in the future and spread it throughout the entire continent, so that the countries on the other side of the ocean will also know Da Yu. Richness.”

“Yes?”

“Of course, my respected Highness, all kinds of rare experiences since I came here, including the flat concrete road when we entered the capital, are the same, peculiar as a fairyland.

I want people on the mainland to appreciate the prosperity of Dayu! “

“Good! Reward!”

Emperor Guang was exasperated by what the envoy of the grape country said, and when he didn’t get any better, he directly called for the reward.

After seeing Emperor Guang speak, Lu Xiu was naturally unwilling to dismantle Emperor Guang’s platform. He lowered his head and took a sip of wine before speaking.

The envoy of the grape country saw that Lu Xuanxuan no longer pays attention to him, his eyes flashed with disappointment, he remembered the face of Mili just now, the state of the majestic questioning.

I only felt that the woman in Chinese clothes was like a fairy sitting in the clouds, and made people want to kneel down and kiss her on the toes.

However, although the princess of Dayu can’t help people’s reverence, the business that should be done is still to be done. After receiving the award, the envoy of the grape country continued to say: “In order to show our respect to Emperor Dayu, your Respect, we have prepared an offering for Da Yu this time, please accept it.”

The envoy of the grape country clapped their hands, and saw that the gifts that had been prepared were presented on a tray like theirs, the envoys of the grape country walked by one by one and lifted the red cloth on them one by one.

The first to bear the brunt is a piece of white jade that is as gelatinous, like Xinli, that white jade has been completely unraveled, and a whole piece is placed there a full half a meter high, and it is enough to put two heads on it.

However, for such a large and pure jade, it would be a waste to make jewelry. It is better to let a skilled craftsman make an ornament according to the pattern of the jade to keep the jade perfect.

Behind is the precious and peculiar tooth carving ornaments. I don’t know where the envoy was looking for the miniature sculptures, which are extraordinarily delicate.

Inside it is a scene of a night banquet. If you look closely, you can even see the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy on everyone’s face.

Emperor Guang asked him to take the tooth carving closer and take a closer look. It took a long time before he moved his eyes: “This carving is really excellent! There are also tooth carvings in the tribute below, but they are not as fine as this, not bad! “

The envoy of the grape country was a beautiful jade and a tooth sculpture, and finally brought up a lot of rare and exotic treasures again. Lu Xiou just bowed his head and said a few words to Gu Yan from time to time, without even looking up.

This made the envoy of the grape country, who had been watching her secretly, frowned. This princess Dayu really had a very high vision.

It wasn’t until the treasures like flowing water were almost present, that the envoy of the grape country came up with the last thing: “This is a kind of peculiar tree that we encountered on the way to Dayu. The locals called it. It’s a tree that sheds tears. I specifically asked the locals, and now I dedicate this wonderful tree to His Majesty the Emperor.”

Emperor Guang was not interested in this kind of strange tree, but Lu Xiu finally raised her head to look at the so-called tearful tree. She held Gu Yan’s hand and couldn’t help tightening it slightly.

Xu Shilu’s gaze stayed on it for a long time, and even Emperor Guang was aware of it: “Why, Qinghe likes this tree, someone will send this tree to Qinghe’s mansion!”

Without saying anything, Emperor Guang directly gave the tree to Lu Niao Niao. Lu Niao smiled slightly, then looked at the envoy below and asked casually, “Where did you find this tree? Have you ever asked the locals. What is the magical effect of how people plant it, is it possible that it will only shed tears?”

Originally, Emperor Guang’s lack of interest in the tree made the envoys feel uneasy. Now, listening to Lu Xuan’s questioning, the envoy let out a sigh of relief: “If you return to your Royal Highness, this tree that will shed tears is Found in a small country on the border of Dayu, this tree seems to have been growing there all the time. The locals would only find it troublesome to cry after the tree was injured, and didn’t use it very much, so I can’t answer your Highness’s question.”

Lu Niao nodded without dispensation, prepared to go down secretly, and investigated the route of the envoy when he came, trying to find the source of this tree.

After all, this is the famous rubber tree. Think about how many rubber products are there in modern times? !

As a result, a dinner that seemed unremarkable, but in fact it could be regarded as the most critical dinner in history, with the envoy’s presentation of worship ended, and the curtain officially kicked off, and then the wine and food were like flowing water. The ground was presented.

At this moment, Gu Mei behind the curtain finally had a place to use it. The so-called tearful tree, she knew at a glance that it was a rubber tree.

It’s just that she doesn’t have much research on rubber, even if it is peculiar, she can gain a foothold in this country as long as she has good cooking skills.

After Guangdi gave the banquet, when everyone moved their chopsticks, he asked the cook to come up to give a speech and perform according to the usual practice.

Gu Mei’s dishes made her the finale because of her special dishes. Before that, Gu Mei stared at the two people in the second seat, wishing to quench the fire and burn the two people.

“Miss Gu, it’s here for you.”

Gu Mei followed the maid and walked towards the field. She looked at the black head and swallowed, her trembling calf immediately tightened.

She licked her dry lips, looked at the dignified and radiant figure on the second seat, with a smirk at the corner of her lips, and your brilliance is over, Princess Qinghe!

“The daughter of Beihou Township, the daughter of the minister, today I dedicate this ‘all seas rise to peace’ to your majesty, and I hope that the whole world will rise to peace, and the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe.”

So, as soon as Gu Mei’s voice fell, there was a palace lady shuttled between the seats like flowing water, riding on a porcelain plate with a variety of seafood on it, exuding bursts of mouth-watering fragrance.

The envoy of the grape country looked at the scented seafood on the plate, his eyes widened and his eyes narrowed: “This fragrance is amazing! I didn’t expect that there are such superb craftsmen in Dayu’s kingdom. Cook!

I wonder how I might know how this dish is made? “

Emperor Guangzhi laughed, only feeling that Gu Mei had given herself a lot of face in front of the envoys. She secretly decided in her heart that she would give her a new reward this time.

After all, I always rewarded the top, like a joke.

But Lu Wei almost laughed when he saw it. Isn’t this the seafood barbecue in the modern night market?

Grilled oysters, grilled scallops, grilled squid, and fried flower beetles, four cheap night market delicacies have made the envoys a rare treasure.

It seems that my Datianguo food, especially the food from this kind of night market stall, are all food that can withstand the test of a state banquet!

Lu Xiu looked at the food in front of him, raised his chin with interest, and looked at the shocked expression of the envoy below. He did not speak, but he did not expect that a fire was about to burn him.

Emperor Guang thought to appreciate Gumei, but he didn’t expect that at this moment, Gu Mei’s sorrow operation came: “In these four seas, the minister used four kinds of ingredients from the deep sea. I have long heard of Princess Qinghe. His Royal Highness has a lot of insights into food, and he has a golden tongue. You can know what kind of cooking method is used for this dish and what kind of seasoning is put in it. Confused.”

Lu Wei Niao:…

She just said how Gumei’s dishes tasted strange before, without the slightest appearance of modern condiments, and she was waiting for herself here.

If the original owner is sitting here, I am afraid that I will be ashamed to death by hearing Gu Mei’s words?

After all, there are a lot of modern condiments in it, which is not answered by the experience of the original owner after tasting all kinds of flavors.

Gu Mei saw that Lu Yu was silent for a while, and the smile on her face deepened. She bowed her waist and curtted her knees to gather everyone’s attention on Lu Yuu’s body. Then she said loudly: “Please, Princess Qinghe, please replace her courtier. Ask you all!”

After listening to Gu Mei’s words, Guangdi originally felt that there was no problem, but he reacted after a moment.

The reason why Gu Mei can stay by her side for so long is not because of the mysterious sauce she got by chance?

And this mysterious seasoning can’t even be tasted by himself, how can Qinghe know? !

This Gu Mei deliberately embarrassed Qinghe!

But, how can she dare to have such courage, who is she relying on, a concubine from the North Hou Mansion? Is it the Lin family behind her, or the queen? !

Thinking of this, Emperor Guang couldn’t help but his face was blue, looking at the Phoenix Seat, which was empty because the queen said he was sick in the future, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

After that, Emperor Guang reduced the pressure of the fire that had risen in his heart again, and now he still has to take care of Qinghe for the present plan.

Although she didn’t say anything about this girl, she knew she was very proud, and she would not want to show up in the future if she lost such a big person.

And just when Emperor Guang was about to make a sound, he found that Lu Wei was moving.

Today, Lu Xuanniu wore the special clothes made by the eldest princess. The long-sleeved long gown was intertwined with black and red, and looked quite majestic.

At the moment, she was sitting in front of the table. Under the table, Gu Yan grabbed Lu Niao Niao’s sleeve with concern. Lu Niao Niao only smiled, then lifted his bare hand, picked up the jade chopsticks, and put a piece of squid into the mouth. After tasting for a while, he said: “The soft fish is roasted, added with the sauce made from the red fruit of the Western Region, and sprinkled with benzoin powder, five-spice powder, salt and pepper and other mixed powders during the roasting process.”

Gu Mei hadn’t heard of the rest fennel at all. Seeing Lu’s calm appearance, she just wanted to shred the calm arrogance.

Gu Mei lowered her gloomy eyes, pursed her lips, and continued to ask: “Dare to ask the princess what is the fennel in the mouth of the princess. Could it be that your Royal Highness squeezed a name to fool us?”

“You are presumptuous!” Emperor Guang slapped the arm of the chair fiercely, staring at Gu Mei coldly, as if looking at a dead person.

But Gu Mei was already unable to retreat at this moment, and she was unwilling to retreat. She stood still, staring at Lu Ling, wanting to wait for Lu Ling’s answer.

Seeing Lu Ling curled up not to speak, her lips curled up with such an ironic smile, and she opened her lips to continue talking.

As if he knew what she wanted to do, Lu Xiuyi glanced at her with a faint smile, then his red lips were slightly open, and the clouds were light and breezy: “And the fennel in it comes from the Western Regions and is also called Zi Of course.”

Gu Mei heard Lu Xuanxiu’s words, and she felt cold water splashing down her head. She couldn’t help her lips tremble and took a step back.

She even knew, did she come from the same place as herself?

Yes, for things like cement, how would she know if she didn’t come from the same place as her? !

It was because I had listened carefully to her external words, what Yun Shoufu’s notes, if Yun Shoufu really had this note, wouldn’t it have been taken out for the sake of fame? !

She, she, very good!

Gu Mei gritted her teeth, her face pale, she wanted to retreat, but stared at her by so many eyes, she could only stand on the spot with the big beads of sweat on her forehead.

She desperately thought about countermeasures, her lips trembled and stared at Lu, curled up and said: “No, no, all these are names you made up! Your Royal Highness, what evidence do you have? You have no evidence!”

When Zhenbeihou heard this, he couldn’t sit still anymore. He left his seat and knelt down to apologize to Emperor Guang. He also whispered, “Meier, shut up!”

Gu Mei was already stunned at this moment, bloodshot popped out of her eyes, staring straight at Lu and curled up.

She wanted Lu Xuan’s reputation to be discredited, and she wanted to go crazy, so she didn’t realize that Lu Xuan’s tone of cumin was wrong before.

At this moment, the envoy picked up a piece of grilled squid, chewed it in the mouth, and opened his eyes sharply: “It really is cumin! Your Royal Highness, you are really knowledgeable, and we are only going to Da Yu. On the road, I have seen this seasoning in the Western Regions.

The locals used to grill it on meat, but they have never grilled seafood, so we didn’t recognize it for a while, but the wide-ranging knowledge of your Highness really made us admire it! “

The words of the foreign envoys were like the last straw that crushed the camel, causing Gu Mei to instantly sit on the ground like a bone pulled out. Someone even knew about it, and he had seen it!

Seeing Gu Mei’s frustrated appearance, everyone suddenly understood what was going on, and the eyes looking at Gu Mei couldn’t help but become angry.

She actually wanted to make a princess of a country ashamed, and she was ashamed in front of foreign envoys. Where did she put Dayu’s national prestige? !

After hearing the words of the envoy, the expression on his face turned ecstatic, and he glanced at Lu Xiu with admiration: “Father did not know that my son is so knowledgeable. I really deserve to be the princess of my Dayu! Good, good Extremely!!”

Hearing Emperor Guang’s words, Lu Lingou stood up without hurriedly, and bowed a politely. The majesty of the princess of the great country was vividly shown to her.

Afterwards, Lu Qiu Niao introduced the other seafood in front of him in a gentle but convincing tone, only to hear the surprise from the crowd.

As for the Gu Mei lying in the middle, and the Zhenbeihou who was kneeling on the ground, no one paid any attention to them, even though they were so embarrassed at the moment that they wanted to find a place to get in.

Even though the dinner was a bit twists and turns, it ended smoothly.

After that, on the day of the dinner, Emperor Guang sent the Ming decree from the palace to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

This time Zhenbeihou was directly deprived of all rights, with only an empty name. This was the result of Lu Xiu thinking that Gu Yan would have a not-so-low status to persuade Emperor Quanguang.

As for Gu Mei, Emperor Guang didn’t punish her, just let her not have to present food in the future.

But this alone has cut off all Gu Mei’s retreat. After she returned to Zhenbei Hou Mansion, she was directly dealt with by the Zhenbei Hou Jia Fa. She was beaten all over her body and was confined to the Small Buddha Hall?

She couldn’t take a step out of the small Buddha hall before the turmoil was over.

How can the cold and lonely small Buddhist hall recover from the injury, but it will only spread the injury aggravated.

Gu Mei was lying on the icy cushion, staring straight at the sky outside the small Buddha hall.

It wasn’t until the doors and windows of the small Buddha hall were closed tightly that she fell into a dead silence. After a while, her eyes that were like stagnant water moved.

Emperor Guang, Princess Qinghe, I will not let you go!

Gu Mei thought that she had been prepared for a long time, and she didn’t know what should be used or not, so she finally decided to take it out.

Since she can’t enjoy the glory and wealth, let everyone fall into the quagmire with herself.

The prince of a country has become a lunatic, will he still dote on his princess like that?

Will this country still be like it is now?

All those who don’t let themselves get better then don’t need to exist!

A scarlet madness flashed in Gu Mei’s eyes, and a thunder rang out of the window that awakened her, and finally she looked at the faintly lighted window with a “heavy” laugh, as long as she didn’t die…

The foreign envoys came quickly and walked quickly, and not long after they had left, after a close conversation with Emperor Guangdi in the Palace of Qinzheng, Lu Liaoyu left Beijing with ancient smoke.

For some reason, the sudden arrival of the foreign envoys made Lu Xuanxuan feel extremely uneasy, and Dayu’s stability over the years has caused Dayu’s strength to decline, and many soldiers will be disarmed and returned to the field.

And the families of military commanders that were once highly respected, like the Han family, have gradually gone downhill. Their children are not accepted, and some even abandon the culture and join the military. The huge Da Yu can’t find a general talent.

And all of this, after Lu Xiu made an investigation, he saw it in his eyes and kept it cool in his heart.

If in the near future, a formidable enemy comes, Dayu will be in danger!

Now that I have come to this country, I must do my best for her peace.

Lu Niao and Gu Yan had been away for two years. At her age, the ordinary daughter’s family had already married and had a son, and Guangdi could only be immersed in the miss of her daughter all day long.

Fortunately, although Lu Niaoniu was not in the capital, he was always thinking of Emperor Guang, that letter and gift would be sent every one or two months. This did not make Emperor Guang anxious and urged Zhang Gonggong to arrest people.

But this time, Lu Xiu Niao sent a bed to Emperor Guang, a Simmons with springs installed.

Guangdi lying on Simmons only feels soft and unreasonable. This is much more comfortable than sleeping on a Babu bed with a soft feather cushion. This person always feels pain here when he sleeps on a wooden bed that is too hard. That hurts.

Grandpa Zhang laughed and watched Guangdi bake pancakes back and forth on the bed like a child with new things: “His Majesty is really worried about Your Majesty. After only two years of going out, he gave so many things to his Majesty.

Knowing that your Majesty is good at barbecuing and likes hunting, I sent anti-wear and non-slip dipped gloves, waterproof rubber shoes, and light raincoats to all kinds of gadgets. I really missed my Majesty.

This time, I don’t know what my Majesty has researched out, but he sent such a big bed. Is it comfortable for your Majesty to fall asleep? “

“Comfortable, comfortable!”

Guangdi said cheerfully.

And Lu Niao, who was always thinking about by Emperor Guangdi, was drinking hot cocoa with Gu Yan in his house in the southernmost town of Dayu.

Even though it is the cold winter of Dayu, the two of them are still wearing light summer clothes, drinking steaming hot drinks, and talking leisurely: “His Majesty has been out for so long, I should go back. Your Majesty must be thinking about you. “
