back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 370 Out of the City
With Lu Chengqi's words, Tang Xun finally settled down to deal with the bowl of porridge in front of him.But Lu Chengqi left the table, walked out of the imperial dining room, called the personal eunuch, and said: "You go and call the imperial guards, don't make a guard of honor, I will leave the palace in modest clothes later."

The little eunuch who was close to him lamented in his heart, the emperor couldn't sit still anymore, he had been a Mingjun for more than half a year, once the old disease relapsed, he would have to go out of the palace every day.Of course, I dare not say this sentence, if the little emperor heard it, he would definitely lose his head.Immediately received the order, and went to find the imperial guards to escort him.

Looking at the back of the little eunuch going away, Lu Chengqi thought of another thing, called the nearest court lady, and said, "Go and tell the imperial chef to cook another pot of porridge, and then put it in a food box. I will use it later."

The maid was stunned, this decree was also quite strange.Fortunately, the people who hang out in the palace, whether they are maids or eunuchs, are all good people.There is no way, in this big dye vat, if it is still so simple, it is even rarer than Wang Zhaojun.Seeing that the maid was blessed soon, she said crisply: "Observe the order."

After finishing speaking, the maid gently twisted her willow waist and walked into the imperial dining room.Lu Chengqi didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a physical impulse, and couldn't help but look at the back of the palace lady, her graceful figure could not be concealed even in palace clothes.It wasn't until she was submerged in the building that Lu Chengqi came to his senses, thinking: "What's wrong with me, do I have puberty throbbing again?"

After all, he is someone who has experienced it, Lu Chengqi knows that this is determined by hormones, it has nothing to do with sex or sex.Opposites attract, this is a characteristic of human beings for reproduction, and there is no need to feel ashamed.This also made Lu Chengqi understand that his willpower was not as strong as he imagined.

Putting aside his messy thoughts, Lu Chengqi strolled back to the imperial dining room.The imperial dining room in the palace is divided into two parts, which are far apart.From the perspective of feng shui, the imperial dining room should not be located in the south, because the south belongs to fire, and the imperial dining room also belongs to fire. Too much fire is not good for everyone living in the palace.Therefore, the imperial dining room of Dashun Palace is located in the east.Generally speaking, if the imperial dining room is located in the east, it is auspicious, and the east is wood, and wood makes fire.Between the Hall of Renming and the Imperial Dining Room, one is in the north and the other is in the east. There is also an imperial garden on the way, which is relatively far apart, and the straight-line distance is almost 1000 meters.

As for why Lu Chengqi didn't come to the imperial dining room, it was to uphold the admonition of "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen".This sentence comes from "Liang Huiwang Chapter [-]" in "Mencius". The so-called "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen" is just talking about a mental state that cannot bear to kill. It does not mean that a gentleman cannot cook.In order to survive in a famine year, you can't even start a fire. If you don't starve to death, who will you die?What this sentence says is that a gentleman must have a compassionate heart. If it is understood literally, it is really easy to misunderstand.Even in the imperial dining room, in order to prevent the emperor, empress and others from entering by mistake, the place where the fire was processed to process raw meat was set far away from the imperial dining room.It was because of fear that such a bloody scene would frighten the members of the royal family.

Just as he stepped over the screen, he saw Tang Xun coming out in a hurry, and Lu Chengqi wondered, "Did Tang Qing finish eating?"

Tang Xun hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the porridge. I'm already full. Your Majesty, Zirong and I, together with the military supervisor and craftsman, have already made a cannon and tried it. Your Majesty, please give me some advice."

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "I already knew that if Tang Qing had nothing to do, how would she be willing to enter my Three Treasures Palace? While you were drinking porridge, I had already ordered Weifu to leave the palace. Please relax a bit and wait for the imperial dining room to cook another pot of porridge." , and took them together to Zirong and the craftsmen of the Military Armament Superintendent."

How could Tang Xun not be moved when he heard this?May I ask in which dynasty and generation, there is such an emperor, who cares whether the courtiers eat breakfast or not?Even if there is, even the craftsmen who are looked down upon by the world will be kept in mind.It is the greatest blessing for a subject to meet such an emperor!Tang Xun bowed deeply, and said: "Your Majesty's grace, I am ashamed to receive it!"

While speaking, a eunuch's voice rang out: "The empress is here!"

Lu Chengqi calculated the time, from the time he got up to now, it took Zhou Zhiruo more than an hour to put on makeup.In the words of this era, half an hour has passed.But thinking about the fact that I have to put on makeup during the court, I feel relieved.As a man, it takes half an hour to put it on, let alone Zhou Zhiruo, the queen, who doesn't put it on for an hour, it's considered light makeup.

After a while, Zhou Zhiruo led a group of court ladies and eunuchs, and entered through the arched round door.Seeing Lu Chengqi, Zhou Zhiruo led the crowd to salute together: "Join Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi said: "Zi Tong is free of courtesy." After a pause, Lu Chengqi said: "Zi Tong, there is still porridge in the imperial dining room. I will go to the Military Armament Supervision later, so I won't eat with you."

Zhou Zhiruo was not surprised when she heard the words. She was very smart, so she knew that Tang Xun's arrival must be caused by some serious incident in the military department.Lu Chengqi's attitude towards the craftsmen was extraordinary, so he couldn't resist going to have a look.Zhou Zhiruo, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, was not surprised, but replied: "The concubine will also leave the palace later, so I won't see you off to Your Majesty."

After the emperor and empress confessed their whereabouts, Lu Chengqi ordered the eunuch who served Zhou Zhiruo to do a good job of escorting him.How dare the eunuch slack off, a few days ago, the story of the empress being molested by idlers has been quietly spread in the palace.Some people even speculated that if he committed the crime again, this little emperor who murdered without blinking an eye would be ruthless.

All of a sudden, no matter the eunuchs, maids, or imperial guards, they all cheered up, and almost fell into a shadow of a snake, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

After the imperial chef packed the cooked scallop and haggis porridge in a food box, Lu Chengqi asked the personal eunuch to carry it, and together with Tang Xun and a group of imperial guards, they left the palace from Zhidemen, and then went straight to Jing Yaomen left Chang'an City.

The carriage platform is located not far from Jingyao Gate.Because the emperor didn't know that he was traveling in private, the carriage from the north of Chang'an City to the Royal University was already transporting passengers.Lu Chengqi suddenly thought: "Let's take this carriage too!"

Tang Xun was taken aback, and said, "But Your Majesty..."

When Lu Chengqi heard that Tang Xun was about to say "Your Majesty", he immediately frowned.Fortunately, Tang Xun was quick-witted and changed his words: "...Master Bi, do we have a carriage?"

Hearing "Mr. Bi", Lu Chengqi couldn't help laughing, and thought: "This Tang Xun is so powerful, even the word Your Majesty can make him easily find a substitute..." Lu Chengqi has long known that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated , but unexpectedly Tang Xun, who is quite honest on weekdays, is also so quick-witted, which is unexpected.

"Can that carriage hold so many people?" Lu Chengqi asked rhetorically.

Tang Xun concluded for a while, the royal carriage is extremely luxurious.It's just that the space inside is small, and it can seat up to five people.But their group, more than 15 people, definitely can't fit.When Tang Xun was thinking, Lu Chengqi had already walked towards the carriage.Seeing this, Tang Xun quickly followed.
