Chapter 17 Li Shilong opened his mouth, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "It's delicious. The queen is really clever. This ordinary mutton roll tastes so strange when dipped in sauce."
He quickly asked the others to sit down, "Come on, Wuji, Liang Aiqing, Jingming, you all come and try it. It is indeed a rare delicacy!"
Damn, I didn’t expect the emperor to be so glib. His sauce was obviously delicious and he also prepared the hot pot base. He had something to do with the queen! "Queen, you eat too!"
Li Shilong smiled and fed Empress Gongsun a mouthful. This scene made Du Jingming admire: "Your Majesty and the Empress treat each other as if they are guests, and they are the beautiful companions of gods!"
"Ha ha!"
Li Shilong laughed heartily.
Li Yushu's cries gradually subsided. Even her father and mother were feeding each other. She just ate a mutton roll with chopsticks from Qin Hanzi, so what?
Anyway, they were a couple in name only, and no one would laugh at her.
"Come on, let's all eat together!"
Li Shilong was the emperor on horseback, and his conditions were poor before. During the march, a group of people gathered around the boiler to deal with each other.
This hot pot is similar to the marching pot. He not only sighed, "This hot pot reminds me of the days when we were still in the military camp and everyone ate marching pot together."
"Yes, but the military pot tastes much better than hot pot!"
Gongsun Wuji said.
"Yes, the military pot is still delicious!"
Du Jingming also agreed.
Qin Mo rolled his eyes, it's not delicious but you still eat it so enthusiastically! He was sitting across from Li Shilong with his big horse and golden knife, and his chopsticks were messing around. Whenever Li Shilong was about to catch him, Qin Mo would cut him off.
"Qin Hanzi, what are you doing?"
"Didn't my father-in-law say that the marching pot is more delicious than my hot pot? Then why don't you just go and eat the marching pot? Why eat hot pot!"
Li Shilong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You idiot, you are so petty!"
"Then you go and eat the marching pot made by a big-hearted person!" As a person from later generations, Qin Mo didn't have much respect for the imperial power.
So I want him to be submissive like others, but I'm sorry, but he can't do it! "Qin Mo, do you really think that I don't dare to slap you!" Li Shilong couldn't bear to lose face.
"You know how to put on airs, you are so cruel, it's better to be my mother-in-law. If it's delicious, it's delicious. If it's not delicious, it's not delicious. How can you be like you? You obviously like to eat a lot, but you still insist on saying that the marching pot is delicious!"
Qin Mo quickly stood next to Queen Gongsun, "Next time, don't even think about eating what I cook!"
Li Shilong was angry and funny, "Idiot, if you have the ability, come out from behind the Queen!"
"No, I'm just going out here!"
Gongsun Wuji squinted his eyes and looked at the farce in front of him.
Li Shilong had six or seven consorts, but no one was so favored.
Even though he is the son of Qin Xiangru and the consort of Princess Jingyang.
Your Majesty is still beating me!
He wanted me to give up the idea of marrying the royal family, so he indulged Qin Mo one after another.
Even Queen Gongsun didn't want to marry.
Fortunately, he had already figured out the emperor's thoughts.
When the farce was over, Gongsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a favor from Your Majesty!"
Li Shilong was slightly surprised. With so many people here, what favor could he ask for? Grace is not requested on such occasions.
He said calmly: "But it doesn't matter!"
Gongsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, my Chong'er has reached the age of marriage, so I would like to ask your Majesty to help Chong'er be a matchmaker!"
As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions changed.
Li Yushu on the side couldn't help but clenched her hands, "Uncle, do you want to ask my father for grace to let me out of the sea of suffering?" Thinking of this, she felt a little excited.
She glanced sideways at Qin Mo, she didn't want to marry this fool! Empress Gongsun was also slightly nervous, thinking to herself: "Brother, you must not make it difficult for His Majesty, and don't make it difficult for me!"
Li Shilong asked again: "Which family's girl is so lucky that she can win Chong'er's favor?"
Deep in his eyes was a hidden murderous intent.
The atmosphere became solemn unconsciously,
Gongsun Wuji knew Li Shilong too well. Every time Li Shilong showed this expression, it meant that he had murderous intentions.
"It seems that I have made His Majesty so jealous?"
Gongsun Wuji laughed at himself and said respectfully: "The Duke of Zhu has a daughter, she is twenty-eight years old, her name is Liu Ruyu, she is virtuous and talented!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Shilong laughed, and the tense atmosphere was swept away, "Who was I at that time? It turned out to be Cheng Hu's daughter. Wuji, you have really good taste!"
He was determined. It seemed that Gongsun Wuji had given up on marrying the royal family.
He knew very well the consequences of having a foreign relative grow up. He could suppress it, but his son might not be able to suppress it.
Liu Chenghu is known as the military god among the people, but Li Shilong does not trust him.
Although he had repeatedly requested to guard southern Xinjiang, Liu Chenghu's reputation was too high, and he no longer knew what to seal him.
If he cannot leave it to his son, he will take it with him to hell!
"So His Majesty agrees?"
"This is a good marriage, and I agree to it!"
Li Shilong thought for a while and then said: "Chong'er is very knowledgeable, let's do this. I will stay with Cheng Qian and be the prince's companion, and the marriage will be taken care of by me."
"Thank you Lord Ron!"
Gongsun Wuji quickly knelt on the ground. The reason why he asked for grace on this occasion was to tell the emperor and empress that he was no longer obsessed with marriage.
If the emperor refuses this marriage, then the Gongsun family has lost the emperor's trust.
Suspicion is a quality that an emperor should have, and he knows it very well.
Moreover, Li Shilong's award for accompanying the prince also shows that Gongsun Chong is the team prepared for the prince, and the Gongsun family can continue to prosper.
Empress Gongsun also breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, it's not suitable for Your Majesty to intervene in this matter, so let me do it!"
Even though Li Shilong is the emperor, Empress Gongsun's intervention in this matter is more effective than Li Shilong's intervention! The prince was also very happy. He and Gongsun Chong had a good relationship since childhood. If Gongsun Chong takes Liu Chenghu's daughter, she will be the Liu family's son-in-law.
He can influence the Liu family through this relationship.
It seemed that his father still valued him.
He secretly rejoiced.
Li Zhi's face turned dark.
He gritted his teeth secretly, "I don't accept it. We are also the legitimate son, and I am better than my eldest brother. Why can't I be the crown prince?"
Seeing that Li Shilong and the queen were about to finalize the marriage in just a few words, Li Yushu cried: "No, I don't agree to this marriage!"
Everyone looked over and frowned at Li Yushu, who was wearing pear blossoms and raining rain.
And at the very back of the crowd, there was a person gritting his teeth.
His eyes were full of disbelief, and his body was shaking uncontrollably, "No, this is not true. We can't let Gongsun Chong marry Ruyu, no!"
At this moment, his eyes were firm, "Father and Queen, I don't agree with this marriage either!"
