If the emperor smiled, even if he didn't care whether he was sincere or not, all of a sudden, everyone in the hall laughed, and suddenly the atmosphere became more friendly and harmonious.

After chatting for a while, Bai Gonggong opened his eyes from his meditation, and took advantage of the gap between the two of them to speak, leaning down (body shēn) and saying, "Your Majesty, the time for lunch has arrived......"

Xu Zhengyuan leaned back slightly, changed to a more comfortable posture and leaned back on the back of the chair, took a sip of the tea cup handed by Luo Yu, put down the cup and said with a smile, "So I'm really a little hungry, so I'll pass on the meal, I'll eat here today." ”

Did he serve tea to the guests?

Such a thought flashed in Gu Juan's heart, and he was just about to get up, but he heard Xu Zhengyuan say again, "Gu (Ai) Qing is also hungry, so stay and eat with me, so let's continue to chat." ”

"Minister, thank the emperor for his grace. ”

Xu Zhengyuan leaned back slightly, leaned back in a more comfortable position, closed his eyes and said slowly, "Since Gu Baihu used to be a person from the rivers and lakes, I suddenly remembered that I also collected a few cultivation exercises in the imperial study, and it was still some (日rì) When I met those strange people and strange people, I offered the things, but I didn't seem to have a talent in this area, and I probably couldn't read them smoothly after reading them a few times, so I thought that these books would also fall on the shelf and eat ashes here with me, but it would be better to give them to useful people to see if they can be truly effective. ”

"Xiao Dezi, now you go and bring the books on the outer shelf of my study, hand them over to Gu (Ai) Qing, and let him study them carefully when he goes back. ”

Gu Juan had to thank him again, and after a few more casual chats, a series of palace maids and eunuchs came in with food boxes, and began to arrange vegetables in front of Xu Zhengyuan's table with their hands and feet, and soon two more eunuchs carried a square table and put a hot (hot) towel in front of Gu Ju's (body shēn).

"Gu (爱ài) Qing don't be restrained, today (day) we should be chatting, not to discuss in the court, don't talk about so many rules, you should be in your own home, you can eat as you want, until you are full and well-fed. ”

Xu Zhengyuan washed his hands, signaled that Gu Juan could be free, and picked up a chopstick of green vegetables himself, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"The minister was rude in front of His Majesty. ”

Gu Juan took a deep sniff of the pungent fragrance, and suddenly remembered the discussion about the taste of imperial food that he had seen in the previous time and space, and with some apprehension, he went straight to the largest pot of roast (meat), scooped up a large piece (meat) and stuffed it into his mouth to taste it.

Hey!?

Who swore in the past that all imperial meals were the same, and they were unpalatable to death?

This (meat) tastes pretty good!

With a grunt, he swallowed the roast in his mouth, and began to sweep and taste the other dishes.

This one is good, and that one is not bad.

After eating for a while, the only conclusion he came to was that the dishes on this large table were all of the highest quality, with a full taste and a lingering aftertaste...... And the only fly in the ointment is that compared to his current appetite, the amount of dishes at this table seems to be a little less, and even the reserve can not reach three points of fullness.

Gu Juan chewed on the case, and after eating for a while, he found that it seemed that the emperor and the concubine above were only a superficial taste, and only ate one or two chopsticks of each dish and put it aside, only he was not a little reserved here, hula la discs after disc, and there were no green vegetables left that he usually didn't like to eat.

Hey......

He was slightly stunned, and compared to the two Yang (春chūn) Bai Xue above, did he seem too colorless, as if he had been hungry for eight lifetimes and had not eaten.

Speaking of which, he is also a human being in two lives, how can a modern person who has experienced all kinds of food in the last era of time and space logistics be so vulgar in front of these ancients?

Just as he was hesitating, he heard Xu Zhengyuan's voice faintly sounding when he couldn't hear anything, "Gu (Ai) Qing hasn't eaten enough, Xiao Dezi, pass the order to the imperial dining room, and get a more sumptuous table to quench your hunger with Gu (Ai) Qing." ”

Gu Juan was stunned again, and wanted to say that he was full, but it didn't seem to be convincing at all, and he was obviously still hungry, but he had to say that he had eaten, isn't this clearly deceiving people, (身shēn) is an honest and trustworthy hero, he really can't do this kind of hypocrite thing.

Not to mention that in such a feudal dynasty, lying to the emperor is the crime of deceiving the king.

Therefore, it is not worth it to let him lie in order to excuse a table of delicious noodles, and it is definitely not worth it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward. ”

I don't know how many thoughts flashed in Gu Juan's heart in an instant, but in the end, he still sat down behind the table with peace of mind, waiting for the arrival of the food.

I have to say that the speed of cooking in the imperial dining room is top-notch, and it didn't take long for the order to be issued, the second round of dishes came up like a stream, and the square table in front of Gu Juan was full, and there were even two cartons with nowhere to put them, so they could only be put aside first, waiting for which plate was almost eaten before replacing it.

Seeing that the table above was almost finished, Gu Juan immediately sped up his eating, swept away all the dishes like a storm, and finally picked up the soup pot in the food box, and drank two large pots full of fresh mushroom soup and bird's nest porridge, and exhaled a long and turbid breath with satisfaction.

The eunuch and palace maid quickly cleaned up the dinner plate and table, and poured fragrant tea to quench their thirst for everyone, and at this moment, a tall middle-aged eunuch came in from outside the palace, still holding a thick stack of books in his hand.

Xu Zhengyuan took a sip of tea lightly, "Give these books to Gu (Ai) Qing, and let him take a closer look at them when he goes back to see if there are any uses." ”

After Gu Ju Xie En took the book, Xu Zhengyuan sighed again and said, "I am also more happy to have a casual conversation with you today, and I hope that after that, you can also do your best for me, for the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Wei and the people of Limin, as I said...... I don't want to hear such words all the time, as a courtier, I naturally live to better serve the country and leave a name in history...... Therefore, I hope that you can live well, so that the relationship between me and your monarch (情qíng) can last for a long time. ”

After saying so much in one breath, he seemed a little tired, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes slightly, "Some time ago, Concubine Luo also told me about your situation, she said that you want to go to Mobei Mansion on the border between this dynasty and the Northland Grassland, and although I am relieved to hear this, I also have some problems that I want you to explain one by one." ”

Gu Juan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty's question, the minister must know everything, and he will say everything." ”
