back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 672 A Little Reminder
Surrounded by the maids and servants, Zhou Zhiruo walked slowly outside the imperial dining room.With the sound of "The empress has arrived", all the Shangshi in the imperial dining room came out to greet them, and all blessed them.

When Zhou Zhiruo saw it, she knew that Lu Chengqi hadn't come yet, and she knew in her heart that Lu Chengqi must be dealing with political affairs again, and she even forgot to eat dinner.He was waiting for someone to urge Lu Chengqi, but when he heard another voice from outside, "The emperor is here!" he was overjoyed and went out to greet him.

Lu Chengqi was good at observing. Once he saw so many people outside, he knew that Zhou Zhiruo had arrived first. He laughed and asked these maids and servants to step down, and said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Zitong, why is it so early today?"

Zhou Zhiruo smiled and took Lu Chengqi's hand, and said, "It's not that the concubine is early, it's that your majesty is late!"

Lu Chengqi looked at the time of day, as expected, this hour is about to pass, and night is approaching.At this time, in the clean sky, a little bit of starlight has been hung. "It seems that I am indeed late!"

Since the two of them pierced that layer of paper, they became closer than before, and even kissed in public regardless of the presence of palace people.Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo had a thin skin and didn't let Lu Chengqi go any further, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.She grabbed Lu Chengqi's hand that was about to make trouble, and said angrily, "Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi also just wanted to flirt with this beauty, if it was real, he wouldn't be able to spare the effort to make a "live broadcast".Unlike animals, this person has a sense of shame.If there is no sense of shame, this person is an animal.Fortunately, the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs were not there, so Zhou Zhiruo pushed Lu Chengqi into the imperial dining room regardless of her hot face, and gasped, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven!"

Lu Chengqi also knew that this joke should not be taken too far.If it was too much, Zhou Zhiruo would ignore him for several days.Although Lu Chengqi now has some confidence, but Zhou Zhiruo is the empress after all, and the empress and the palace empress do not get along, that is a crisis for Dashun!Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi immediately became serious, without any other petty movements.

This imperial meal was just served, and it was still steaming.However, three dishes and one soup were cooked extremely delicately.Lu Chengqi has long regarded the palace as his own home, so when eating, he doesn't like having outsiders present, and he needs to do everything by himself if he wants to serve the meal.At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo has fulfilled her duty as a wife, after adding food to Lu Chengqi, she scoops it up herself.

After all, the imperial palace is a heavenly family. Even if the meal is a simple three dishes, it is not comparable to ordinary people.There are different dishes every day, and it is estimated that they only repeat three or four times a year.The materials used are also extremely luxurious. There are everything that can fly in the sky, walk on the ground, and swim in the water.Lu Chengqi couldn't bear the waste of fat, so he ordered the two of them to eat only three dishes and one soup.That's it, the annual expenditure of the royal chef in the palace is thousands of times, tens of thousands of times that of ordinary families.There is no way, the emperor, he wants to eat well, dress well, and live well.

After Zhou Zhiruo sat down, she just quietly watched Lu Chengqi chopping the rice, but she didn't move her chopsticks.Lu Chengqi was a little surprised, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he asked, "What's wrong with Zi Tong, no appetite?"

"Your Majesty, this concubine feels that she is not worthy of being a queen..." Zhou Zhiruo sighed lightly, the desperation in her voice made Lu Chengqi's heart ache.

"What's the matter, who bullied you? I will definitely tell him that life would be worse than death!" Lu Chengqi, who had endured for more than two years, showed his domineering for the first time, although it was in front of his wife.Lu Chengqi has this ability, let me ask, is there anything in Dashun that he can't just say a word?
Zhou Zhiruo said faintly: "Your Majesty, no one bullies the concubine. The concubine just thinks that this empress is difficult to do."

Lu Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, he was not stupid, he still couldn't hear the implication of these words, he had been emperor for more than two years in vain.Zhou Zhiruo said that it is difficult to be a queen, so it is definitely not the matter of Huangzhuang, let alone the matter of the orphanage.Then there is only one possibility left, something happened in Kunning Palace.

Thinking about it carefully, Han Feng'er and Zhou Zhiruo are like sisters, and they will definitely not turn their faces.Han Feng'er also wants to thank Zhou Zhiruo for her kindness, and it is even more impossible to turn against her.There was only one concubine Shu left, and this Jinxuan was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.That day in the West Chamber, I don't know what kind of ecstasy drug I took, but Lu Chengqi made the mistake that a man should make on impulse... Now that I think about it, this concubine Shu is really not simple, she is young, and she has deep plans !
Thinking about it this way, the answer is ready to come out.It must be that Zhou Zhiruo and Jinxuan had a falling out, so Zhou Zhiruo came to complain.To be honest, people are close and distant, Zhou Zhiruo must have believed in Zhou Zhiruo more than Lu Chengqi's pillow partner for more than two years. "Zi Tong, did Concubine Shu provoke you?"

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes turned red, and she said what happened today.Of course, she didn't add any embellishments, but narrated it plainly.

The more Lu Chengqi heard it, the more he felt that Jinxuan was scheming, so he comforted him with words: "Zi Tong, Concubine Shu has resentment in her heart, so you just let it go. Well, I won't go to the West Wing today. , go to your place, okay?"

Zhou Zhiruo shook her head resolutely, and said, "Your Majesty, are you trying to make it harder for your concubines?"

As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework. Lu Chengqi does not want to participate in this struggle between women.But if he is left alone, the harem will be messed up, and the world will probably laugh at him. "Forget it, I listened to Zitong. Don't talk about it, let's eat quickly! Come, come, this fish soup is good, try it!" After finishing speaking, Lu Chengqi added a spoonful of fish soup to Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhou Zhiruo pear blossomed with rain, Eating with red eyes and lowering his head, Lu Chengqi's heart ached for a while.

"Is this food not to your taste? I asked the imperial chef to cook one..."

Lu Chengqi was about to get up, when Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly called him: "Your Majesty is not busy, and my concubine is not Concubine Shu, so I can't eat so many dishes..."

Is this an inadvertent mistake?Lu Chengqi couldn't believe it.If it is said that women are playing tricks, even men are not in vain.

"What happened to Concubine Shu?"

Lu Chengqi set an example, not to be extravagant and wasteful. Judging from Zhou Zhiruo's tone, it seemed that Jinxuan really took herself seriously!Zhou Zhiruo must know more about Lu Chengqi than Jinxuan.Jinxuan is just playing around with that unlucky ghost, so how can she be Zhou Zhiruo's opponent?There was no need to use any force, just a little bit of sowing discord, Lu Chengqi was already vigilant.

Zhou Zhiruo finally revealed the reason under Lu Chengqi's questioning.It turned out that Jinxuan didn't know Lu Chengqi's rules, and once made a fuss about the meal for a day.The more Lu Chengqi heard it, his expression became more and more serious, and it took him a long time to silently pick up the bowls and chopsticks, and pick up the rice by himself.

Seeing that Lu Chengqi had already listened, Zhou Zhiruo persuaded, "Concubine Shu is just here for the first time, and it's human nature not to know the rules set by His Majesty. As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent, so Your Majesty should not punish her..."

Lu Chengqi said in a muffled voice: "I have my own opinion, eat first..."
