There were many major national affairs, and we often had quarrels with each other.
A group of people were chattering from the morning to the afternoon until the emperor was about to have lunch at noon, and then came out of the imperial study.
As for Qi Bao'er, he was given a meal by the emperor. Also left behind were two old ministers, Duke Dingguo and Duke Fuguo.
The ministers who came out of the imperial study looked at each other with sympathy in their hearts; they were envious but could not hate, they could only be afraid.
Many of them felt that the emperor made a woman, who was only fourteen years old, the Minister of War, and just kept her as a decoration.
He took a legendary god and used it for himself, and his real power was not left behind.
However, in the past month, the presence of Qi Shangshu has always been indispensable when he went back and forth to the imperial study room to discuss matters, which made all the courtiers have to face the fact that this was not the little prime minister back then.
The emperor's frequent meals also gave them a deep understanding of the status of Qi Shangshu in the emperor's mind.
Envy?
That's for sure. Which minister doesn't expect to be valued by the emperor?!
Jealousy?
I'll reply to you and understand for yourself.
As for hate?
Don't dare, don't dare.
Those who had had other thoughts about Qi Shangshu were extremely grateful that they had not had time to take action.
Qi Bao'er didn't know what the courtiers thought, and even if they knew, it wouldn't affect her.
At this moment, she was whimpering without any distractions.
She had a normal sense of everything in the palace, but the imperial dining room always made her linger.
The imperial chef deserves to be the imperial chef!
Qi Bao'er didn't know whether it was exaggeration in the film and television records she saw in her previous life, or whether the emperors of the Qilin Kingdom were all simple. Not all the emperors' royal meals she saw were rare and rare. Except for banquets, on weekdays,
The ingredients used in the emperor's food are actually quite common, but the royal chefs would put a lot of effort into making them particularly exquisite and precious.
For example, the bowl of 'bear paw' closest to her looked just like real bear paw, but it was actually made of taro. However, if the waiter hadn't said it was made of taro, she would have thought it tasted like it.
It's really a bear's paw.
There is also the wealth and auspiciousness next to the 'bear's paw'. Not only is it served in the homes of dignitaries, but this dish is also occasionally eaten in ordinary people's homes.
There are a total of eighteen dishes on the table today, nine more than the Emperor's lunch yesterday.
Qi Bao'er kept using her chopsticks while glancing at the two princes who were talking excitedly to the emperor.
Apparently the emperor had added nine extra dishes for the two of them. It seemed that the status of these two people in the emperor's heart was much more than meets the eye.
Jun Chenyuan gave up his seat in the emperor's lower aisle to the two princes. He was sitting directly opposite Qi Bao'er.
The little girl's cheeks were bulging with delicious food, and her big eyes were still scanning the table, as if she was looking for what she wanted to eat next.
His gluttonous and cute appearance makes people feel good just looking at him. He usually doesn't attach much importance to appetite, so he will always eat more if he is influenced by it.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that although his father was talking to the two princes, his eyes were always drifting towards the little girl from time to time. Jun Chenyuan suppressed the faintly raised corners of his mouth by drinking soup.
No matter how good and exquisite the food prepared in the imperial dining room is, how can you not get tired of it after eating it for decades?
….What’s more, the emperor is getting older. Although his face looks tender, people sometimes refuse to accept old age. His taste is no longer what it used to be.
As an emperor, how can he admit that he is old?!
Therefore, the meals cooked in the imperial dining room were so bland that they were almost tasteless in the emperor's mouth, and he could barely eat them on weekdays.
As for Qi Bao'er, I feel that everything she eats tastes delicious, she is also delicate-looking, and when she eats, she doesn't have a sense of beauty even if she eats fast.
It is a kind of enjoyment to be watched, and the buds will tremble unconsciously; even if the food is still bland in the mouth, the appetite has improved.
Therefore, the emperor likes to stay with Qi Bao'er to eat together. As long as he watches her eating in such a cute way, the emperor can eat at least twice as much as he usually eats in one meal.
The prince and the people who were waiting close to the emperor naturally noticed this, so they were willing to pray that Bao'er could be stayed by the emperor to have a meal with him.
After lunch was served, the emperor took his usual lunch break. The two princes returned to their residence, and Qi Baoer followed Jun Chenyuan back to the military headquarters.
The four ministers are not here, but there is still a lot of things piled up in front of Qi Bao'er, even though the prince is helping him.
Every day I go out early and come back late, and before I know it, it’s the day of spring hunting.
Early in the morning, before dawn, the people who had received the order to go to the royal hunting ground had already set off and were waiting outside the palace gate.
Qi Bao'er was also in the large waiting team, but she also had an emperor's servant on this trip, and she was regarded as the emperor's personal bodyguard.
It's just that unlike other Qi Guards, she doesn't have to be governed by many rules and regulations.
Around five o'clock, the concubines accompanying the harem began to appear at the palace gate.
Qi Baoer was waiting at the gate of the palace on Fengchi. Next to her was Liu Yuan, the eldest son of Da Sima, who was riding a tall black horse.
Liu Yuan looks almost like his father, with the same qualities as a weak scholar. But if you look down on his appearance and underestimate him, you will definitely suffer a big loss; this girl is only twenty-seven years old.
, is already a fourth-grade general, and he is a porcelain general who has fought his way up from a small soldier purely on his own.ъiqugetvt
When the time was approaching six o'clock, Liu Yuan suddenly whispered strangely: "Why are there only five empresses traveling together this year?"
Qi Bao'er looked towards the palace gate and saw five concubines, each dressed as gorgeously as the other, standing on one side according to their rank, waiting.
To be honest, with just one glance, Qi Baoer was a little disappointed with the emperor's harem.
None of the five concubines were stunningly beautiful, so it was certain that they all had good looks, but even so, they didn't meet Qi Bao'er's expectations, which was a bit disappointing.
Qi Bao'er didn't respond. How could they just guess the emperor's decision?
Moreover, Liu Yuan originally thought that others would not be able to hear her muttering to herself. If she really answered, she might even shock people.
Following the sound of "The Emperor has arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived," the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince came one after the other.
After the officials greeted each other and the emperor called, the emperor and his highness the prince mounted their imperial cavalry one after another, and then with the sound of "getting off", the procession headed towards the city gate in a mighty manner.
The road for the royal driver to travel has been cleared. This clearing means that no ordinary people are allowed to enter, and the road is unimpeded.
Even though our emperor is now older, he still likes to ride his horse first every time he hunts in the spring and autumn, and only waits until he is tired to get on the chariot.
Qi Bao'er followed him leisurely, only half a horse's length behind His Royal Highness the Prince's horse. From a distance, he seemed to be riding abreast.
Behind them were carriages filled with palace concubines.
Concubines and carriages followed by royal family members.
After the royal family, come the civil and military officials.
Following the sound of horse hooves, the endless team marched slowly but orderly towards Mount Wutai.
