Main Text Chapter 1659 How to Cook Fresh Seafood

"This..." Xiahou Chengyu seemed a little embarrassed, observing Qingzhu's expression.

"Okay, it's settled." Qingzhu confirmed.

"I obey!" Xiahou Chengyu reluctantly agreed. In fact, he was so happy that he finally drove the bitch out of the palace. Since there was a little person in his belly, the entire palace has been deserted. Dare to touch her edge, even His Majesty wants to give her three points, this is the true feeling of a mother's love in the world.

It's hard to tell what Qingzhu was thinking on the surface, but he didn't stay in Tianmu Palace for long this time. After lingering for a while, he said he had something to do and left.

After sending Qing Zhu off respectfully, Xiahou Chengyu guessed that doing this today would make Qing Zhu unhappy, but she was really not afraid of Qing Zhu settling the score in the future. The little person could still ward off evil spirits after coming out of her belly!

"Have you heard what His Majesty said?"

E Mei hesitated a little, "How should I say the decree?"

Xiahou Chengyu snorted coldly, "Just tell that bitch directly that His Majesty ordered her to go back to her parents' house in order to let me have a peaceful pregnancy. Get out of here immediately. She will not be allowed to return to the Heavenly Palace without any purpose!"

"Yes!" E Mei agreed and immediately summoned two people to accompany her and leave.

After arriving at the East Palace, Emei naturally would not convey the decree so rudely, but the meaning was similar to the original words. In order to allow the Queen to rest assuredly to raise her child, Tianfei Zhan Ruyi was ordered to go home immediately to visit relatives, and was not allowed to return to the Heavenly Palace without the intention.

"My concubine obeys the decree." Zhan Ruyi didn't react at all. He bowed politely and responded calmly.

But for the people in the East Palace, they were extremely shocked!

Especially for his personal maids Yin Shuang and Bai Xue, they were extremely angry. Why should the Queen of Heaven let the Concubine go home to visit her relatives when she was raising her baby with peace of mind? Isn't this humiliating? What's more, the two of them didn't believe that the Emperor of Heaven could issue such a decree to the Concubine!

"Empress, I don't believe that Your Majesty would issue such a decree. I want to go to Your Majesty for confirmation!" Yinshuang stood up and left with a look of sadness and anger.

Unexpectedly, as soon as E Mei tilted her head, two palace ladies immediately stopped Yin Shuang and refused to let her go.

"I'm going to see His Majesty, why are you stopping me? Is there something wrong in your heart?" Yin Shuang said angrily.

But the words had just fallen. Then a palm came over hard, and with a snap, a clear and loud slap hit Yin Shuang's face directly, and Yin Shuang fell to the ground. There was blood at the corner of the mouth.

It was E Mei who took action, but when she saw E Mei looking down at Yinshuang who was lying on the ground and covering her face, she said in a cold voice: "You unruly maid, what qualifications do you have to see His Majesty? Do you want to resist the decree or are you questioning the Queen of Heaven?" Are you pretending to be God's decree in front of everyone?" He turned around and shouted, "Come here, you are a wretch, and you will be punished for resisting the decree!"

Immediately, a group of generals rushing in to protect the edict rushed outside.

Zhan Ruyi's figure flashed and stood in front of Yin Shuang, blocking the group of generals.

A group of generals looked at each other, somewhat in a dilemma. They had to obey the orders, but among the guards who were hanging around in the palace, who didn’t know that the Concubine was the favorite concubine of the Emperor of Heaven? If they offended the Concubine of Heaven, they would be afraid of angering His Majesty. No guarantee.

"Could it be that Concubine Tian also wants to resist the decree?" Emei showed a look that was half-smiling but not smiling.

"You're thinking too much." Zhan Ruyi looked calm. He turned around and ordered: "Follow the order and pack your things immediately... let's go!"

Everyone in the East Palace dared not speak out in anger, so they could only obey the orders. Bai Xue and others behind him quickly helped Yinshuang up.

E Mei didn't want to let it go, "You are a humble servant who resisted the decree. Do you still want to run away?"

Zhan Ruyi, who was about to turn around, suddenly turned around and said coldly: "Emei, I have already acted in accordance with the order. I advise you not to bully others too much!"

E Mei smiled and said: "I can't understand what the Concubine Tian is saying. Is it wrong for me to uphold Heaven's decree?"

"You really want me to drag you to see the Emperor of Heaven. Do you want to try if I can take off your head?" Zhan Ruyi's eyes suddenly became aggressive and pierced E Mei, and then swept across the generals, his delicate words were resonant. : "I want to see whoever dares to act arrogant in the East Palace, get out of here!"

"..." E Mei's face showed a sullen expression. But after all, she bit her lip. After being in the Heavenly Palace for so long, it was the first time she saw Zhan Ruyi getting angry, and she was a little scared. She also knew that she had really made trouble with the Emperor of Heaven, and she would not be able to do anything good in front of Zhan Ruyi. He could only bow slightly and bow, then turned around and walked out.

The generals looked at each other, and then they all bowed their hands to Zhan Ruyi and quickly retreated. Who dared to snatch someone from the hands of the Concubine Tian in the East Palace after they were full.

It was easy to pack up, and not long after, a group of palace maids followed Zhan Ruyi out of the east palace gate.

On the way out of the palace, I bumped into Xiahou Chengyu who came to see him off. He said he came to see him off, but it was better to say he came to humiliate him.

Zhan Ruyi led the crowd to squat down and salute. Xiahou Chengyu, who had a half-belly belly, looked down on him with contempt and said a faint "hmm", just like a victorious general on the battlefield facing a defeated general begging for surrender. He said coldly: "The Concubine is still at her mother's home." Stay well and go!" The meaning of those words seemed to be sarcastic to Zhan Ruyi. This Heavenly Palace is not the place for you to stay, so get out!

On a palace building in the distance, Lord Qing stood in front of the window of the carved pavilion with his hands behind his hands, watching through the lattice the scene when the queen and the concubine met.

Shangguan Qing watched from the side, looking at the situation outside and then at Master Qing's reaction.

Watching Zhan Ruyi and his entourage leave the palace silently, with many palace concubines hiding their heads and pointing on both sides along the way, Master Qing slowly closed his eyes and said slowly, "I owe her!"

"Hey!" Shangguan Qing sighed softly, naturally knowing who Master Qing was referring to, "Your Majesty's consideration is wise. Under the current circumstances, it is not a bad thing to leave the palace temporarily, otherwise the Queen of Heaven will inevitably cause trouble for her. Old slave We have already notified the Guards to escort you all the way. Everything will be fine. All the expenses incurred by the Imperial Concubine at her parents’ home will be doubled. It will only be better than here, not worse than here.”

Tian Weng's Mansion, Forbidden Garden.

The umbrella crown of the sky-high tree is like a canopy. Under the tree, there is an exquisite small table. On the table are dishes, wine and food. Xiahou Tuo is sitting there holding chopsticks and eating deliciously.

When Wei Shu entered, he saw a sturdy man wearing a kitchen skirt and carrying a plate of hot dishes coming from the other end. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed to greet him and shouted, "The second master is here. "

This person is none other than Xiahou Ling, the second son of Xiahou Tuo. He is also the only son of the Xiahou family except Wei Shu who can directly enter the Forbidden Garden without notification. He is also the person with the highest official position in the Xiahou family in heaven except Xiahou Tuo. Although he has an idle position like Xiahou Tuo, he has reached the level of marshal, but he has no real power.

Seeing Wei Shu, Xia Houling smiled heartily and said, "Wei Shu is here, come on, come and have a taste together."

"Second Master is cooking by himself again!" Wei Shu was happy and quickly followed, reaching out to help him serve the food.

Xia Houling raised his hand to block it, indicating that he didn't need it. He personally carried it under the big tree and placed it in front of Xiahou Tuo. After taking off his apron, he handed it to Wei Shu who came to pick him up. After sitting down, he stretched out his hand to signal. After a while, he said, "Wei Shu, sit down and let's have a taste together. The fresh fish I just caught from the river is most delicious when cooked and paired with wine."

Wei Shu, who had put away his apron, couldn't help but smile when he looked at the dishes on the table. They were just the most common small fish and shrimps in the rivers of the world.

After the other party spoke, Wei Shu stopped being pretentious and sat aside, holding a pot and pouring wine for the father and son sitting opposite him.

Xiahou Tuo stretched out his chopsticks and took a piece of tender fish into his mouth, chewing it slowly.

Xia Houling, who took a sip of wine first, looked at the other person's reaction to the tasting, raised his chopsticks and asked with a smile: "Father, how does it taste?"

He has a gentle and cheerful demeanor, and he is not very good-looking, but his eyes flash with a restrained depth. Coupled with his strong figure, he has a looming and devouring aura, but most of the time he is gentle and refreshing. The appearance of the letter was obscured.

Xiahou Tuo closed his eyes and smashed his mouth, then shook his head thoughtfully and said: "Not bad, delicious, dick, you are good at your craftsmanship!"

“Haha!”

Wei Shu shook his head, smiled, and stretched out his chopsticks to taste.

Mr. Xiahou Tuo glanced at his son across from him and said, "You are willing to spend your energy on this petty, petty thing."

Xia Houling did not pay attention to the hidden blame in these words, and said with a smile: "All small roads and great roads are Tao, no matter how big or small it is, just like cooking small delicacies!"

Xiahou Tuo's eyes showed reverie, and finally he smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Xia Houling looked at Wei Shu's reaction and asked casually, "Wei Shu, what's the matter?"

"The Queen of Heaven made some noise in the palace and drove the Concubine of Heaven out of the Palace of Heaven..." Wei Shu put down his chopsticks and told the two of them what happened in the Palace of Heaven.

After hearing this, Xiahou Tuo didn't react at all. He slowly put the river fish into his mouth and squinted his eyes to taste it carefully. It was delicious.

"That's it?" Xia Houling didn't seem to care, and continued to eat his own after asking.

Seeing the reaction of the two father and son, Wei Shu was stunned and tried to say: "Did the Queen go too far this time? I'm afraid it will offend Master Qing."

"You still expect him not to be disgusted? The queen still needs the dignity she deserves. As the master of the harem, don't worry, the sky won't fall. As long as the Xiahou family doesn't fall, the queen will be fine." Xia Houling said a few words casually and pointed with his chopsticks. Pointing at him, "How does my river food taste?"

"Very good, very good." Wei Shu nodded repeatedly.

Xiahou Ling was delighted, "Hey! I'm talking about Wei Shu, why do I feel that you are perfunctory with me? What? You have something on your mind? You might as well tell me."

Wei Shu hesitated for a moment, but finally frowned and said, "Actually, there is something that I can't figure out. The Queen of Heaven may not be the most suitable person to enter the palace. The Xiahou family has smart daughters. Why did they choose the Queen of Heaven to enter the palace in the first place? "The implication is that Xiahou Chengyu is not a smart person, and some of the things he did in the palace are not wise and may not be in the interests of the Xiahou family.

Xiahou Tuo continued to eat and drink. After his son arrived, he basically didn't speak much.

Xia Houling squinted at Wei Shu, raised a glass to his lips, and said without any pain or itch: "The water thrown by a married daughter is an eternal truth! When a smart person has a powerful position, it is not so easy to control him. The Xiahou family sent her into the palace as their queen and worked hard to create an heir for her, not to give her a chance to stand on her own feet! If you are a bit stupider, Lord Qing will be more at ease and accept it more easily. What’s wrong with killing two birds with one stone?” (~^~)
