Adorable Food Goddess

When Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi came together, Zhao Qixuan still had a little embarrassment and embarrassment on his face.

The emperor's insightful eyes roamed the two people's faces for a moment, but he smiled.

They are obviously two talented people. One has an unparalleled business acumen, and the other is a talented scholar. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, music, and shooting. The family has high hopes for these two people, but these two people have met each other's eyes. They would rather Give up the future title and live freely in the mountains and rivers.

I heard that Zhao Qixuan had offered to give up inheriting the title many times, but Marquis Yongning still refused to give up. He still thought that his son would one day change his ways and return to the right path. However, Su Xiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He used all kinds of methods including beating, scolding and exile, and finally gave up. No more, no matter what.

"Didn't you go to the south? When did you come back?" The emperor said slowly.

Su Yi replied: "I haven't been back for a few days."

The emperor pretended to be majestic: "When I came back, I didn't show filial piety to my elders at home. I didn't come into the palace to see me. Instead, I hid here and enjoyed myself."

Zhao Qixuan said sarcastically: "My father said that if you don't see me, you will think about it sometimes, and you won't get angry when you see me. Therefore, if Wei Chen comes back and goes up the mountain, my father won't have to worry about me or be angry. "

The emperor was drinking tea when he almost spit it out, choked his trachea and started coughing.

Concubine Shu quickly rubbed the emperor's back.

Su Yi glanced at Zhao Qixuan lightly, "Can you speak well?"

The emperor calmed down and said with a smile: "Let's talk about border trade! How is it over there?"

When it came to border trade, Zhao Qixuan became very excited: "Your Majesty, your decision is so wise. You chose such a place at the junction of the three countries. In name, it was to build a bridge between South Vietnam and Huaisong, but in fact, it even built a bridge with Xifan. Come on, South Vietnam and Xifan are rich in natural resources, but their commerce and handicrafts lag behind our Huai Song Dynasty for who knows how many years. There is a huge demand for our Huai Song Dynasty silk, tea, porcelain, etc., which is equivalent to opening up the markets of the two countries. At the same time, we We can purchase medicinal materials, iron ore and other materials over there at a low price to make up for the shortcomings of the Huaisong Dynasty. It is really a strategy that benefits the country and the people."

The flattery made the emperor feel comfortable, and the emperor's face became more and more cheerful.

Su Yidao: "When we went there, it was still a deserted village. Now traders from all over the country have poured in, and with the strong support of the imperial court, it has developed rapidly and has become quite large. I think that within three years, it will become as big as In the prosperous place of Yangzhou."

The emperor was deeply pleased. As a result, the court's tax revenue could be greatly increased.

"So, we came back this time to raise money and prepare for a big fight. After all, we are also descendants of Jinling. If we want to fight, we must have the momentum and pomp of the people in the imperial capital." Zhao Qixuan continued.

The Emperor Long Yan was delighted: "Okay, okay, you can take credit for the prosperity of the border town. However, I must first explain that tax evasion is not allowed."

Zhao Qixuan said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, what you said is that I have always been law-abiding and a moral and self-disciplined person. I would never do such a thing as tax evasion. I have made a lot of money, and I can still bring losses to the court." ? I have no other abilities, so I just want to pay more taxes, which can be considered as a contribution to the imperial court."

The corners of Su Yi's mouth twitched, feeling contempt in his heart for the smooth-tongued flatterer. But I just fell in love with his inconspicuousness, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Concubine Shu saw the emperor and his ministers chatting happily. The emperor had not been so happy for a long time, so she suggested boiling a pot of wine.

The emperor readily agreed.

After a while, the wine and food were served.

The emperor said: "If I hadn't heard the sound of Su Aiqing's piano just now, I wouldn't have known that you two brats were back."

Su Yi said: "The bright moon is shining brightly, and the pine waves are bursting. On a whim, I can't help but feel itchy, disturbing the emperor, and making the ministers panic."

The emperor waved his hand: "It doesn't matter."

"I heard that Su Aiqing's piano skills were passed down from Mr. Ouyang. No one in the Song Dynasty can surpass you. It's rare that the emperor is so elegant today. How about Su Aiqing playing the piano again?"

Su Yi hurriedly stood up and saluted: "I obey your order."

Concubine Shu said: "It just so happens that I brought Lu Qi with me when I came to the palace this time. I will ask someone to get it."

"But Lu Qi, who is as famous as Mr. Ouyang's Jiaowei?" Su Yi said with emotion, no longer the calm and calm look before.

A look of pride flashed across Concubine Shu's eyes, and she said softly: "Exactly."

Su Yi solemnly said: "It's really a blessing for Wei Chen. Wei Chen burns incense and cleanses his hands now, not daring to tarnish Lu Qi's name."

After a while, a palace maid came with a piano and placed it on the piano table.

Su Yi sat cross-legged and stroked the strings with some excitement. It was rare to see such a famous piano, let alone play it.

I saw that the whole body of the piano was black, with a faint green tint, and if there were green vines entwined on the ancient wood, I tried to pluck the strings, the sound of the piano was gurgling, and the lingering sound was melodious, which was very pleasant to the ear.

Zhao Qixuan smiled and said to the emperor: "He is just a piano fanatic. I guess he won't wash his hands for three days if he goes back today."

The emperor laughed heartily again, Zhao Qixuan was really a treasure, he could always make people happy.

Su Yi couldn't help but give Zhao Qixuan a stern look, then closed his eyes and concentrated, before the piano played, his mind moved first.

The slender white fingers rolled up, like a wisp of breeze blowing through the pine forest, rolling up waves of pine waves.

Sitting on a mountain rock, leaning against an ancient pine, listening to a song in the morning, as if drinking clear dew, watching the clouds gradually rising between the mountains, floating above thousands of feet, leisurely, the pines are dancing in the wind, and the blue smoke is slowly coming. When you leave the valley, everything is silent, the birds know your thoughts, you wash away the secular world, escape from the three realms and go into seclusion...

A song "Lie down and watch the clouds rise" plays as leisurely as the wind, floating like clouds, the sky is high and the earth is far away, and the heart is leisurely, leaping at the fingertips.

The lingering sound gradually drifted away, but everyone in the hall had not yet recovered, they were all immersed in the music and couldn't extricate themselves.

Zhao Qixuan looked at Su Yi in confusion and couldn't bear to look away for a moment.

Whoosh...a discordant sound broke through the air.

Su Yi grabbed the half-burned incense in the incense burner, waved it with his hand, and the three incense shot away like three sharp arrows.

There was a "ding" sound, and he hit the hidden arrow that was coming at high speed. However, the hidden arrow was so fierce that after being slightly disturbed, he could not bear to fly towards the emperor on the dragon throne.

There was another thud, and the hidden arrow was inserted into the emperor's temples and shot into the red sandalwood dragon screen behind him.

Everyone just woke up, and Eunuch Wei shouted loudly: "There are assassins, please protect us..."

Before he finished speaking, another row of hidden arrows broke through the window and shot directly at the emperor.

Everyone's breath stopped in shock, and the emperor couldn't react. He didn't know where to hide. Concubine Shu, on the other hand, immediately slipped from her chair and crawled to the ground.

Soon enough, Su Yi jumped out, as nimble as a swallow. He didn't know when there was a sword in his hand, and he swung it towards the speeding hidden arrow. At the same time, the nymphomaniac Zhao Qixuan

He threw himself at the emperor regardless of his own safety and used his body to block the emperor's arrows.

Huh... Su Yi knocked down a few arrows, but one still hit Zhao Qixuan and sank into his shoulder.

When Su Yi saw that Zhao Qixuan was injured, his eyes widened, he raised his sword and broke the window and left.

Zhao Qixuan endured the pain, turned over to protect the emperor, and kicked the table over in front of him.

The imperial guards heard the news and moved, some of them rushed towards the hiding place of the assassin, while others poured into the palace to form human shields.

Seeing that the crisis was temporarily resolved, Zhao Qixuan endured the pain and got up and said: "Your Majesty, the situation was critical just now. I offended the dragon body. Please forgive me."

After all, the emperor is the most powerful person in the world, so he immediately calmed down and said, "You have done a good job in protecting me, so what's the crime?"

His eyes shone brightly, his anger burned, and he said loudly: "The assassin must be caught alive, and I will personally interrogate him."

Someone dared to assassinate the emperor, which was outrageous.

Concubine Shu also got up in embarrassment, with a frightened look on her face, and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Are you injured?"

The emperor glanced at her coldly and ignored her.

Concubine Shu was greatly uneasy. Her subconscious avoidance just now might have made the emperor unhappy. Zhao Qixuan could risk his life and death to block the emperor's arrow, but she dodged it. Concubine Shu regretted it because she had known better. But it happened so suddenly, it's too late to regret now, and I missed a good opportunity in vain.

Not daring to offend the emperor again, Concubine Shu turned to care about Zhao Qixuan and hurriedly asked someone to pass on the imperial doctor.

Zhao Qixuan shook his head and said: "The assassins haven't been caught yet, and I don't know how many of them there are. It's better to stay put and ensure the safety of the emperor."

The emperor looked at Zhao Qixuan with a little more admiration in his eyes. His loyalty was evident, and he was able to stay calm in times of trouble. He was a man, but he usually looked down upon him.

There was a loud noise of ping-ping-pong-pong outside, and not long after, Su Yi came back with his sword and said with a cold face: "I am incompetent, but the assassin is very skilled in martial arts. I fought him a few times, but he ran away. Now the guard commander has led his people." Go after it.”

The emperor waved his hand and told the guards to maintain security outside, and then said: "It's lucky that you two are here today, otherwise, I would have been poisoned."

Su Yi suddenly knelt down and apologized: "I was summoned by the emperor today. I came in a hurry and forgot to remove the soft sword from my waist. Please forgive me."

The emperor has no time to pursue these matters at the moment. Besides, if Su Yi hadn't brought the sword, today would have been very dangerous.

"Get up! What did you find during your fight with the assassin just now?"

Su Yi said: "The person who came here has his face covered, so he can't see his appearance clearly. This person's moves are ruthless, and his martial arts skills are even higher than those of the humble ministers."

"Report..." A guard ran in.

"Your Majesty, we just found a waist tag at the assassin's fighting place." The guard held up a black waist tag with both hands.

Eunuch Wei went to pick it up and handed it over to the emperor.

When the emperor saw it, his eyes were filled with anger, his lips were trembling, and it took him a long time to say: "This treacherous son..."

Su Yi was shocked: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor handed the waist card to Zhao Qixuan who was standing aside. Zhao Qixuan was shocked when he saw the waist card: "East... is the East Palace?"

Concubine Shu, who was originally depressed because she failed to escort her in time, suddenly felt happy. It turned out to be a killer sent by the East Palace. It was great. Now the prince was speechless and couldn't explain clearly.
