Wu'er has no power here, but Lu Jun is very caring and excited, so he just asked Lu Huaide to save the kitchen from having to prepare so many meals, and chose a few light dishes.
When Lu Huaide heard that there was going to be a family banquet, and Lu Shu personally cooked it, he licked it with his tongue, and he was lucky. The cooking skills of Lu Shu and Wu'er back then were really unforgettable for him.
Quan Yi looked at him amusedly, "This is a family feast."
"Don't forget, we are also relatives of the emperor." Lu Huaide ruffian smiled, both of their younger sisters are the emperor's wives and concubines, besides, the three of them are as close as brothers, especially to Quan Yi.
"Don't forget, Shenyue doesn't cook." Quan Yi glared at him, and learned from Lu Shu that Wu'er could only teach and not cook. To put it bluntly, you know how to eat.
Of course Lu Huaide knew, and now that Wu'er looks like this, he doesn't even know how to enter the kitchen. He never worried about this problem, he just worried that the family dinner tonight is not a Hongmen banquet.
Lu Huaide's worry is not unreasonable. Everyone at the dinner table today has their own thoughts. It can only be said that the only ones who can eat this meal with peace of mind are Lu Shu and Jun Qiaoluo.
In the evening, the two disagreed with each other by the river. They had different opinions and could not communicate. As a result, the queen's complexion was very ugly. Obviously, she did not have the dignity and calmness that a queen should have. The queen mother sighed inwardly.
When the palace people came to communicate, the queen would not go there alive or dead. The queen mother comforted her a few words, and then she gave the queen mother face and showed her face here.
"Queen, you are the mother of a country, and you are the mother of the world. You can calm down the concubines in the harem, why can't you tolerate five children?"
The empress came to the empress dowager's place angrily, she wanted to complain and let the empress dowager think of a way, but she had already forgotten that as the empress dowager's mother, she must protect her weaknesses.
"The queen mother, who is not a concubine, can't tolerate it. You old man should know that since ancient times, those who favor male concubines and male concubines are recorded in ancient books. They are either subjugated or forced to die."
Lu Ru'er told the queen mother what she had said to Lu Jun. These are all history written in blood.
"Does the queen mother also want him to enter the palace?" Seeing the queen mother glaring at her, she paused and guessed, "The queen mother, the concubine knows that he is Junfeng's apprentice, and also knows that Junfeng has contributed to Tang Lv and the late emperor. The grace of life is even more kind to His Majesty. But you are too partial to him."
There was something in Lu Ru'er's words, the queen mother understood, and raised her majestic attitude, "The queen is confused, Wu'er also owes the emperor life, if he wants to enter the palace, how could he not open his mouth. Don't worry about it."
"The emperor is the son of heaven, how can you offend the face of the son of heaven?"
Only then did Lu Ru'er give up, and she got a good face, and showed her face with Lu Feng.
The family banquet was held in Lujun's Xingyuan, and everyone arrived before a cup of tea, only Lushu and Wu'er were left, and they still disappeared. Obviously, the dishes were not ready yet.
Lu Jun seemed to be looking forward to it, and did not behave inappropriately. He chatted with the Queen Mother and Lu Ru'er occasionally. Everything seemed so normal, Lu Feng had always been favored, and he didn't know that the two had conflicts, but the child's intuition was always accurate, so he had to say some nice words to please Lu Jun.
"Father, my son is ignorant and made my father unhappy. My son promises that I will never do it again."
After speaking, he leaned forward, full of apologies, Li Jun had long since lost his temper, and just left him in the cold for a few days, giving him some lessons, so that he can remember for a long time.
"Feng'er, remember what you said today." His eyes were sharp, his posture was natural, he straightened his body, leaned back slightly, and there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
The king's prestige cannot be violated, a little leak of the king's prestige shocked Lu Feng, and he shook a little. He had never seen his father treat him like this. Before, he always felt that the king was majestic, and the ministers were afraid of him. , They are a bunch of wimps, and now he realizes that Li Jun is really scary.
A little scared, he replied very respectfully, "Yes."
Shrinking her neck, trembling a little next to Lu Ruer, Lu Ruer hated her even more, it was all Shenyue's fault! See if this palace won't crush you to ashes!
"Hmm~~ It smells so good!" Jun Qiaoluo has always been absent-minded about Wuxin's family affairs. It's fine if Lushu doesn't let him help, and she doesn't even give Wuer, just let her wait here.
But it tortured her badly. She didn't like this family very much. She always felt cold. The queen mother seemed kind. After all, she had experienced two dynasties and been on the battlefield.
Lu Ru'er is even more unflattering, with a human face and a beast's heart, a Buddha's mouth and a snake's heart, she always wants to be Wu'er, so she doesn't have a good impression of her at all, and that unruly and willful Crown Prince, who is a bit talented, is just a The prince of embroidered flowers, before Lu Shu is ready, I don't know where Lu Jun has a fever, so I make him the prince.
When Wu'er and Lu Shu raised the curtain and came in, Jun Qiaoluo smelled the fragrance and half got up, wanting to help serve the food, but felt that this seemed impolite, so she gave up.
Gong'e in the back brought up the dishes one by one, and they were not inferior to those made by the imperial chef just now, with all the colors, flavors and flavors.
Steamed fish in soy sauce, fish head tofu soup, spicy fish slices, braised fish, stewed fresh mushrooms in broth, delicacies from mountains and rivers, all are available, which is much more monotonous than the luxury dishes in the weekdays.
Each plate is also carved with radishes, cucumbers, and fruits, which are exquisite and lovely.
According to seniority and status, Wu'er should have a table with Jun Qiaoluo, but Lu Jun asked someone to prepare a stool by his side. He was away from home and was camping in the wild. Today's banquet table is made up of several tables. When it was formed, everyone gathered together, the queen mother was in the center, and Lu Jun and Lu Ru'er were separated on both sides.
If it was before, Wu'er would definitely be at the end on the grounds that rituals and music are not costly, but today he has his own plans and will not be hypocritical.
The dishes were served, and everyone started chopsticks. Lu Jun knew that Wu'er couldn't eat, and Lu Shu had already prepared a cup of lotus water.
"Second brother has always loved lotus. The dew in the morning is matched with noble lotus. It means coolness in summer."
This dew was collected by Lushu every morning and carefully preserved in bamboo tubes. Whenever he was in the wild, he would go to find clear and cool spring water, collect it, and give it to Wu'er to drink in the morning and evening.
The fragrance of the lotus is quiet and the dew is sweet, and the five children are all moved. The grace of nurturing, the law master dare not forget, and the hatred of killing his mother is forgotten in his heart. Day after day, filial piety lasts forever.
"Lu Shu cares about you." Lu Jun scooped a cup for Wu'er before picking up his chopsticks, picked up a bad fish fillet, and tasted it carefully for a few times, then suddenly stopped chewing, frowned, and turned to ask Li Shu pivot. "Who taught you to do it?"
Lu Shu stopped his chopsticks and immediately replied, "If the father asks about the steps, it's the second brother. If you ask who made it, it's the son."
"Why did I enjoy it once in a while in the palace?" Regardless of the appearance, this spicy fish fillet tastes the same as the spicy pork slice eaten in the palace. Although I don't eat it often, I once rewarded that chef.
Lu Shu clasped his fists together, "It's what the sons and ministers tasted for the father, the emperor's grandmother, and the queen mother."
When cooking, Wu'er asked him to cook the dishes he had cooked for everyone in private in the palace before, for what purpose, Lu Shu understood.
The queen mother and Lu Jun were all surprised when they heard this, and they tasted the rest of the dishes, and they tasted the same.
"A dignified prince of a country is really filial to be in the kitchen." The queen mother nodded. Although she didn't like Lu Shu, her filial piety was commendable. Among all her grandsons, none of them had ever personally cooked for her.
The Empress Dowager remembered that no matter how indifferently she treated Lu Shu before, she still greeted him regardless of the weather, and came to take care of her when she died, and would find some small toys for her to entertain.
"Well, filial piety is commendable, and your character is modest. No wonder the brothers and sisters are harmonious." Lu Jun also nodded in praise, and suddenly said, "Perhaps those children of mine were moved by your sincerity."
These words were not false at all. With his pure heart, Lu Shu slowly knocked into their hearts. Since then, the princes and princesses have become more filial to the Empress Dowager Lu Jun.
The empress stared at those dishes with an ugly face. She really got a lot of anger today. As expected, these dishes were made by Lu Shu. She planned to buy everyone's stomachs early in the morning, so as to consolidate her position in the future?
Lu Feng didn't care about being a queen, he was a child after all, he liked these dishes quite a bit, and he was happy thinking that he could do whatever he wanted in the future.
"No, as a son of man, it is our duty to be filial to our elders. As a brother, it is common sense to respect our brothers and sisters. As a brother, it is our responsibility to love our brothers and sisters. The emperor does not need to praise you."
Not arrogant or impetuous, not asking for credit, not asking for rewards, he is indeed a gentleman.
Lu Jun laughed loudly, and turned to Wu'er and said, "Shenyue is really a wonderful person, she has raised such an outstanding child for me."
Wu'er just smiled, not because he taught well, but because Lu Shu was kind by nature, and he would definitely be a benevolent king in the future.
"One hundred years to grow trees, ten years to cultivate people." Wu'er replied, he didn't do anything, he stayed by Lu Shu's side for only three years, and everything was persevered by Lu Shu himself, no matter what the situation was.
"That's also your credit." Lu Jun understood that if he hadn't met Wu'er, Lu Shu might not be so capable, nor would he be so outstanding.
When he treated Lu Shu like this back then, maybe he would have turned against him a long time ago. How could there be a talented, filial and respectful Fifth Highness today.
One obstinately added the credit, and the other obstinately rejected it. Lu Huaide found it funny watching it, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. He opened the folding fan and said leisurely, "You two really love each other deeply. Regardless of the occasion, tell me how to get along with Quan Yi."
Quan Yi would never allow Lu Huaide to be intimate with him in public on weekdays, it's really embarrassing.
Intentionally or unintentionally, she glanced at Lu Ru'er, and sure enough, this younger sister of hers hated Wu'er very deeply, even if she died once, she still couldn't let go of her hatred.
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became stiff, Wu'er took a sip of the dew, and decided to wait for the Queen Mother to show her.
The Queen Mother suddenly tied her face, put down the bowls and chopsticks heavily, her expression was not good, and her tone was stiff, "What's the matter today? Everyone has something to say, do you want to torture me, an old woman?"
Everyone was silent and listened to the Queen Mother's lesson.
"Shenyue, Tang Lu has never had a male concubine, let alone a male favourite. Even if you have a relationship with His Majesty, you cannot enter the palace. If you still remember your promise to Aijia, don't make things difficult for Aijia. Aijia will be grateful Endless."
Seeing Lu Jun's attitude towards Wu'er, that's a good word. She is a little worried about the queen's future, and Lu Feng's future. She is selfish. If Wu'er really enters the harem, the queen will fall out of favor.
Lu Jun is so obsessed with Wu'er that he often stays by his side. He quarrels with the queen because of him. They have been husband and wife for nearly twenty years, and they have never quarreled. Her Tang Lv's heirs still want to go to Mianyang, and if they don't go to the harem to visit concubines, that will end Tang Lv's heirs.
Wu'er didn't look at the queen mother, but half lowered her head and half squinted her eyes, "Has the queen mother also forgotten the promise I made back then?"
"Has the Empress Dowager forgotten the imperial decree made by the first emperor and my father, and has she forgotten the last edict of the first emperor?"
Wu'er's three words shocked the Queen Mother for a moment, she didn't know how to refute. In retrospect, Wu'er's promise back then was "King Xiang has no dreams, Wu'er dare not be affectionate."
How could she be careless, and the two imperial decrees of the first emperor were enough for Lu Ruer to abdicate.
Regardless of the Empress Dowager's embarrassment, Wu'er said again, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, I won't last long with this body."
Lu Jun paused, and took Wu'er's hand, "No, follow me to Mingyue Shenyue Palace, everything can be solved."
Wu'er looked sad, shook his head and said lightly, "I know, I only want to be handsome."
Seeing that Lu Jun was seriously waiting for his words, Wu'er smiled and said to Lu Shu, "Shu'er has both ability and political integrity, quite like a gentleman."
Everyone understands the implication, Lu Huaide and Quan Yi will not object, but the queen mother and the queen prince three people listened, their faces turned pale, the queen's breath was unstable, she slapped the table again, pulled Lu Feng, and walked away , Where is the thoughtful family banquet.
The queen mother was also mad, and left a sentence, "What kind of family feast? The family change is almost the same! Your Majesty can figure it out!"
It was supposed to be a harmonious family dinner, but Wu'er's words turned the flavor sour, but Wei'er still looked at Lu Jun calmly, waiting for Lu Jun's answer, while Jun who was listening silently Clutching his chin, he muttered, "The capable live there, I don't even understand the truth."
Lu Huaide and Quan Yi ate happily on their own. They wanted to discuss this matter with Li Jun after returning to court after being crowned, but it seems that there is no need for it. Someone is a big step ahead of them.
