Chapter 57 Lizard
Xinnuo came out, patted the grass clippings on her skirt, and asked, "Did you know that I was following you from the beginning?"

Chu Weixiao asked: "Why are you following me?"

"It's not stalking," Xin Nuo said, pulling the handkerchief out from under his arm and holding it in front of Chu Wei with both hands, "You didn't come to see me yesterday. I have something to show you."

Chu Wei reached out and picked up the handkerchief. He was a little suspicious when he saw something embroidered with gray silk thread on it.

"This, is it embroidered by you?" He frowned, "What is this?"

Xinnuo: "My grandparents can tell that this is a lizard. Look, these are the eyes, these are the legs, and this is the tail."

The girl stood slightly on tiptoes and came close to give him instructions. A slightly sweet fragrance emanated from her sleeves, and it seemed that even the handkerchief was dyed with a faint fragrance.

Chu Wei suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. He took a step back and said, "It is indeed the eyes, legs, and tail. They are just put together, but you can't tell what they are."

Xinnuo became anxious and adjusted the position of the veil for him, "Look at it this way."

Chu Wei held her shoulders and said in a low voice, "I can tell."

Xinnuo finally relaxed from exhaustion. The senior brother's imagination was so bad.

At this time, the little chamberlain's hesitant voice sounded, "Hou, Mr. Hou?"

Xinnuo and Chu Wei turned their heads together and saw the little waiter standing not far away holding an exquisite plate with a lid.

"Are you out looking for something to eat?" Xinnuo asked.

Chu Wei just shook his head at her, took a step forward, opened the lid, saw the dishes inside, and asked, "Is this it?"

The little chamberlain didn't know whether to say it or not and glanced at Xin Nuo.

Chu Wei said: "But it doesn't matter."

The young chamberlain said: "This is the golden bird's nest steamed with osmanthus fragrance. Your Majesty likes to use this as a dessert after cooking, and has the habit of rewarding ministers. I saw someone sneaking into the royal kitchen and stopped by this bird's nest. Several times.”

There were rules in the previous dynasty. The emperor was not allowed to have preferences, at least not preferences that were known to outsiders. After the establishment of the dynasty in Dayue, the royal family continued to follow such rules.

But everyone has preferences. As the highest emperor in the world, he can't do this. Isn't it the most powerless thing?
Therefore, many emperors, after fully controlling the power of the previous harem, would not strictly follow the emperor's teachings they had received earlier.

There are preferred women in the harem, and there are preferred dishes in the diet.

Are you worried about assassination or poisoning?
It's a joke. With a country in the palm of your hand, who would be so bold as to poison the current emperor?

Chu Wei turned around and borrowed a silver hairpin from Xinnuo. He wiped the hairpin head with the handkerchief and put it in the bird's nest to try it out.

Bringing up the silver hairpin, the silver hairpin body is tainted with a shocking layer of black.

"Is it really poisonous?" Xinnuo was very curious, but there was also a cognition that seemed to exist in his brain: not everything can be detected with a silver hairpin, "Are you giving arsenic to the emperor?"

She spoke so eloquently that the little eunuch who was holding the tray respectfully was so frightened that his calves became weak and he knelt on the ground with a pop.

Chu Wei ignored the young eunuch, wrapped the hairpin in a handkerchief, and asked Xinnuo: "You also know that silver hairpins can only test for arsenic poison?"

Xinnuo nodded: Isn't this natural?Need to know something else?
"Are you going to tell the emperor?" She pointed to the silver hairpin wrapped by Chu Wei.

Chu Wei glanced at the young eunuch and said, "It is natural that such a big matter must be reported to His Majesty."

The young eunuch hurriedly said: "Master Marquis, why don't you ask your servants to remove all the dishes first, and then inform your majesty after the banquet is over. If we tell you now, won't it make your majesty unhappy on such an important day?"

Xinnuo felt that this statement made no sense, and he would be unhappy sooner or later. It would be better to say it sooner rather than later.

Besides, this is a major matter of poisoning the emperor's food. If we don't inform the emperor immediately, are we going to secretly hide the poisoning and continue celebrating the festival pretending not to know?

But Chu Wei just narrowed his narrow phoenix eyes slightly and said in a deep voice: "That's fine, I will go with my little father-in-law to check the dishes in the imperial dining room again."

The young chamberlain smiled hurriedly and said: "Master Marquis, you are really thoughtful. No wonder the palace people often say that you are the one your Majesty loves the most."

Xin Nuo hurriedly pulled Chu Wei's broad sleeves and asked him with his eyes: Are you out of your mind?
Chu Wei cast a comforting look, and after the young chamberlain retreated first, he whispered: "This chamberlain has a problem, I have to deal with him first."

Xinnuo wanted to look back, but Chu Wei held his wrist and walked forward.

"Didn't you say that the emperor is your grandfather? Why are there still people plotting against you?"

Chu Wei smiled and said: "That's because you are not familiar with this place. The more respectable a person is, the easier it is to attract jealousy."

However, this was the first time that he had been designed like this.

"Follow me to a place later," he said.

Xin Nuo:? ? ?
Half an hour later, everyone invited to the banquet of hundreds of officials had arrived. Emperor Xining came in with the queen, who was wearing a red embroidered dress with phoenix patterns. The queen walked two steps behind.

Looking at the officials, ladies, and ladies kneeling on both sides to greet her, the queen unconsciously raised her chin higher.

The Chu Wei family is in the first row on the left, just behind several princes. It can be seen how favored Princess Luyang's mansion is.

Emperor Xining walked up to the high platform, sat on a simple dragon chair carved with dragon patterns, and said casually: "Everyone, please live in peace."

"Thanks my emperor!"

The neat chorus echoed in the spacious hall, and the words were obviously very simple, but they formed a momentum like thousands of troops.

This was the first time for Xin Nuo to see such a grand scene. He stood up following the people in front of him, and then carefully glanced up. Unexpectedly, this glance coincided with the emperor's gaze below.

Emperor Xining had a smile in his eyes and nodded slightly, then looked at his grandson and nodded again.

No wonder she looks down on the Zhang family's daughter. The Cheng family's daughter is indeed more beautiful and cuter.
