Chapter 637 Eating Hot Pot in the Imperial Dining Room

Princess Linglong said: "Don't you know who is the backer behind the Qingfeng Tower? It is General Chen, the first-rank military marquis who holds great power in our Donghua Kingdom. Even high-ranking officials dare not play fairy dance in Qingfeng Tower. Quite kind."

  Li Beibei said: "I'm new here, so I don't know the rules here, but I've brought everyone out, and there's no turning back."

  At this moment, the sedan chair suddenly stopped.

  Linglong sensed that something was wrong, raised a small corner of the sedan chair curtain, and asked, "What happened?"

   "Chen Jiajun is looking for someone, blocking our way."

  Linglong got out of the sedan chair.

   said: "Who are you, dare to block the way of this princess."

  The leader hurriedly got off his horse, knelt down and clasped his fists: "My servant, Chen Jinglong, I don't know if it's Your Highness the Princess. I've offended you so much. Please, Your Highness, the Princess, to make amends."

  Linglong waved her sleeves and said, "Because you are General Chen's nephew, this princess will forgive you, why don't you hurry up and get out of the way."

  Chen Jinglong didn't step aside, and still knelt on the ground.

   Linglong frowned: "Why don't you get out!"

  Chen Jinglong said: "Princess atonement, just now we were tracking down a gangster who bullied the world and robbed us by force. Just now, I saw with my own eyes that the gangster got into the princess's sedan chair and asked the princess to hand him over."

  Linglong said: "Bold! How dare you slander this princess!"

   "I don't dare!"

"You said that you saw a gangster get into my princess's sedan chair with your own eyes. Don't you mean that this princess is in league with the gangster? If it gets out, wouldn't this princess's reputation be ruined by you? Reputation is to destroy the dignity of the royal family, can you take this responsibility as a small fifth-rank officer?"

  Chen Jinglong was speechless for a while.

  It seems that the princess deliberately shielded the two gangsters.

  But this Princess Linglong is the younger sister of the current emperor, and she is especially favored. Even if she wants to cover her up, they dare not offend her.

  Linglong said sharply: "The princess is going back to the palace now. If she plays, the empress dowager will be worried. When the time comes, he will punish you for blocking the way. Even General Chen will not be able to save you."

  Chen Jinglong hurriedly got up and stepped aside: "It's a death penalty for a humble job, Your Royal Highness, please return to the palace quickly, and don't worry about the Queen Mother."

  Linglong glanced at Chen Jinglong, then turned around and got into the sedan chair.

  The porter also lifted his sedan chair and slowly disappeared on Chang'an Avenue.

  Li Beibei didn't expect that Princess Linglong would help her cover.

   Li Beibei said: "Why did you help me?"

  Linglong said: "I'm not helping you, I just can't understand the Chen family's style of covering the sky with one hand, the world is obviously our Xuanyuan's family, and they Chen family can search my princess's sedan chair at will anytime."

   Sure enough, Li Beibei thought too much.

  At this moment, Linglong finally turned her attention back to Li Beibei.

  Seeing Li Beibei's face, Linglong looked disgusted: "You also hurry up and get rid of this princess, you are so ugly and dirty my eyes."

  Li Beibei said: "We are on the way anyway, you might as well give me a ride."

  Linglong's maid Yun Zhi said: "We are going back to the palace, how could we drop by with a commoner girl like you."

  Li Beibei said with a smile: "By the way, I'm going back to the palace too."

  Linglong frowned: "Which palace are you from? When did the palace have such an ugly maid?"

   Li Beibei said, "I'm not a maid."

   "If you're not a maid, can you be a concubine?"

   Not to mention this kind of appearance, Brother Huang absolutely despises it.

  Even if she is really a concubine, it is impossible to go out of the palace to visit brothels.

  Intentioning to confuse the royal lineage is a major crime against the Jiu Clan.

  Li Beibei said: "Don't ask about this, anyway, let's go along the way, so you can just count it as a good deed."

  The sedan chair has arrived at the gate of the palace.

  The maid went out and took out the pass token, and all the soldiers guarding the gate knelt down.

   Not long after entering.

  I heard various hoofbeats.

  The passageway to enter the palace is rarely so chaotic, as if something happened.

  Linglong opened the sedan chair and saw Wei Feng.

   asked: "Wei Shiwei, what happened in this palace?"

   Wei Feng said: "We are looking for someone."

   Looking for someone again.

   "Who is lost in this palace?"

  At this time, Li Beibei got out of the car: "Are you looking for me?"

  Linglong standing beside her was also taken aback.

   Wei Feng looked at the person in front of him steadily.

  He recognized the voice of the saint.

  It turned out that the saint had slipped out of the palace in disguise.

  Wei Feng said: "My lord, so you are here, the emperor is summoning you, please come with me to Weiyang Palace."

  Linglong's mouth is so big that it can almost stuff an egg.

  Saint?

  The salt-free ugly girl in front of me is actually the saint who has been making a lot of noise these two days?

  In fact, she has never seen the saint.

  In the past few days, she followed the empress dowager to Wucang Mountain to worship Buddha and pray for rain.

  I just came back yesterday.

   When I came back, I heard from the palace that the national teacher was offering sacrifices to the saint.

   Just as the saint descended to earth, it rained heavily.

   She is also curious.

  But she didn't see the saint parading through the streets yesterday.

  But the palace said that the saint is beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth.

  How could it be the ugly girl in front of me?

  Li Beibei turned around suddenly, leaned into Linglong's ear and said, "Help me take him in tonight, and I'll go to your place to get him tomorrow."

   After finishing speaking, Li Beibei got out of the carriage and followed Wei Feng to Weiyang Palace.

   When approaching the gate of Weiyang Palace.

   Wei Feng stopped suddenly.

  Li Beibei also stopped in her tracks: "Wei Wei, what's wrong?"

  Wei Feng said: "Your Majesty, please tidy up your appearance. I'm afraid your majesty will be frightened if you enter like this."

   After speaking, Wei Feng took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and handed it over.

   Li Beibei suddenly realized.

  She looks like this, so even ghosts can't recognize her.

  So she naturally took Spa.

   There is a lotus pond next to it.

  Li Beibei went over there and dipped some water with a silk handkerchief.

   Then wipe off all the makeup on the face.

  When she turned around, Li Beibei was already facing the sky.

  When Wei Feng saw Li Beibei, he was slightly surprised.

  Because I saw saintesses with exquisite appearances before.

   Even dressed in a white lotus flower dress, it looks like an unreachable fairy in the sky.

  But now seeing the virgin without makeup, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, I just feel like a piece of pure jade in the rough.

  Li Beibei said: "Wei Wei, let's go."

   Wei Feng withdrew his thoughts, turned around and led the way.

   Soon arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace.

  The great **** Zhang Shengquan was already waiting anxiously at the door: "My auntie, where have you gone? If you don't come back, all of us will lose our heads."

   Li Beibei felt very strange.

  Why she disappeared, they are going to lose her head.

  The **** has already opened the door and went in to report.

   Wei Feng didn't know when he had quit and disappeared.

  After Zhang Shengquan came out, he quickly called Li Beibei in.

  Zhang Shengquan still did not forget to remind Li Beibei: "Holy lady, you left the palace without authorization, the emperor is very angry, you must ask the emperor for forgiveness in a polite manner later, maybe the emperor will soften his heart for a while, and forgive you once."

   Li Beibei frowned.

  Li Beibei watched costume dramas before, and knew that being with you is like being with you.

  This kind of feeling, even when I was acting in a costume drama before, I couldn’t feel it.

  But now, hearing Zhang Shengquan say this, Li Beibei actually felt a creepy feeling.

  Li Beibei had heard Situ Jing mention before that the current emperor is the most moody.

  If he was really angry, he might really die.

  Zhang Shengquan has already withdrew.

  By the way, he also closed the gate of Weiyang Palace.

  There are many ever-burning lamps lit in Weiyang Palace, and the palace is very bright.

  So Li Beibei saw Xuanyuan Junyi sitting behind the long table at a glance.

  His face was cold.

  The long table is still full of Han people.

  Xuanyuan Junyi saw Li Beibei coming in, raised his head, and couldn't hear any waves in his voice: "Are you back?"

  Li Beibei quickly said: "I just went out of the palace to observe the people's sentiments. This is not just a saint, but I have to be worthy of this title."

  Xuanyuan Junyi said: "Since you are going out to check the people's situation, why did you sneak out quietly?"

  Li Beibei said: "This kind of thing, Mingcha will definitely not see what I want to see, so I can only visit unannounced."

   Xuanyuan Junyi said: "In the future, if you want to leave the palace, you only need to report it, and you can leave the palace openly, there is no need to sneak around."

  Seeing that Xuanyuan Junyi's expression seemed to have softened, Li Beibei breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

   Xuanyuan Junyi suddenly smiled: "Come here quickly, and have dinner with me."

  Li Beibei knew that it was evening before Xuanyuan Junyi's dinner.

   It's almost late at night now.

   Did he wait here for two hours?

  Li Beibei also sat down.

   is still full of delicious food on the table.

  Li Beibei picked up the chopsticks and said, "Your Majesty, did you come to me today to learn the Rubik's Cube?"

   Xuanyuan Junyi shook his head: "I have already learned that thing."

  The Rubik's Cube is not difficult at all, Li Beibei has already taught him all the formulas yesterday.

  He has learned, Li Beibei is not surprised at all.

   Li Beibei said, "Then what are you looking for with me today?"

  Xuanyuan Junyi said: "I said, accompany me to dinner."

   Li Beibei frowned: "Is it that simple?"

  The emperor nodded.

  Li Beibei said: "You have three thousand in the harem, why don't you ask your concubines to accompany you, they are all eagerly queuing up to have dinner with you."

  Xuanyuan Junyi's face turned cold again: "So the saint doesn't want to eat with me at all?"

  Li Beibei quickly smiled and apologized and said, "That's not what I mean. It's my honor to have dinner with His Majesty the Emperor. I'm just curious."

  Xuanyuan Junyi said: "They are all very boring, and they won't talk about anything other than asking me to eat more."

  Li Beibei also knew it.

   This Xuanyuan Junyi is the emperor, and everyone in the palace can only curry favor.

  I am used to being aloof, and seeing those who only submit to him, I naturally feel that there is nothing new.

   And she, a saint who just arrived, doesn't follow the rules, and always does some outrageous behaviors, but it makes him feel fresh.

  Li Beibei sighed inwardly.

  Human nature is inherently cheap, and even emperors have not been able to escape this law since ancient times.

  Li Beibei saw that Xuanyuan Junyi was the same as yesterday, and just watched her eat, but she didn't move her chopsticks.

   Li Beibei asked: "Why don't you eat? Didn't you want me to eat with you?"

  Xuanyuan Junyi looked at the dishes on the table and shook his head: "I really don't have an appetite, you can eat, I'll be full just watching you eat."

  Li Beibei: "..."

  Just now Zhang Shengquan seemed to have revealed a little bit of Xuanyuan Junyi's habits intentionally or unintentionally.

  Judging from that meaning, Xuanyuan Junyi seems to have anorexia.

   Li Beibei also put down his chopsticks suddenly.

   Xuanyuan Junyi looked at Li Beibei: "Why don't you eat?"

  Li Beibei said: "Since you are tired of all these delicacies, let me take you to eat something fresh."

  Xuanyuan Junyi showed a slightly surprised expression: "What do you eat?"

  Li Beibei said, "Where is your imperial dining room?"

  Xuanyuan Junyi said: "It's in a palace to the west, not far away."

   Li Beibei said: "Then let's go and sneak past."

   Xuanyuan Junyi showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Okay, let's go secretly."

  The two never left the palace.

   When leaving, Zhang Shengquan happened to doze off at the door.

  The Kingsguard also just patrolled past.

  Two people took this opportunity to sneak out one after the other.

   Soon arrived at the imperial dining room.

   It's late at night now.

  The imperial cook and helpers in the imperial dining room also all rested.

  The huge imperial dining room was empty.

  Li Beibei leaned over like a cat and looked inside.

   Seeing that there was no one there, Li Beibei straightened up and walked in with a big swagger.

  The royal kitchen is huge.

  Although there is no one there, there are all kinds of food inside.

  Li Beibei moved a table and placed it next to the stove.

   Then moved a stove up, and she said to Xuanyuan Junyi: "Don't stand still, light the stove first, and I'll find some ingredients."

  Li Beibei found a pair of ingredients easily.

  All kinds of fresh meat, vegetables and fungi, etc.

  Li Beibei knocked them all into small bowls and set a table on the small table she set up.

  Li Beibei found an iron pot, and poured the stewed Buddha Tiaoqiang left by the imperial chef into the pot.

  When Li Beibei came over with the iron pot, Xuanyuan Junyi was still studying how to light the stove.

   Li Beibei frowned and went over: "You can't even make a fire."

   But Xuanyuan Junyi cannot be blamed for this.

  In ancient times, without a lighter, it was really not that convenient to start a fire.

   Simply put, Li Beibei is an expert in survival in the wild.

   She knows how to make fire by drilling wood.

  Of course, the Imperial Dining Room definitely doesn’t need her to drill wood to make fire.

  Li Beibei quickly found the cook's fire booklet.

   Soon the charcoal fire was lit.

   Then Li Beibei put the iron pot full of Buddha Jumping Wall on it.

  Li Beibei took advantage of the opportunity and moved two small benches, and sat down directly beside the small table.

   Xuanyuan Junyi looked at Li Beibei's operation but was at a loss.

   Xuanyuan Junyi said: "What are you planning to do?"

  Li Beibei raised his head and stirred the pot with a spoon: "Don't do anything, just eat hot pot."

   "Eat hot pot?" Xuanyuan Junyi heard such a fresh term for the first time.
