spring and autumn officials

Chapter 159

Ji Lin looked at Qi Lu resentfully, and said quietly: "I agreed to make the pig's trotter pot for the widow alone? Taifu, you are a big liar."

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lu coughed, let alone, the Son of Heaven made him feel guilty when he said that. Indeed, Qi Lu specially prepared this pork trotter pot for the Son of Heaven. A good bite to eat on the march.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Who knew that the envoys from the Qi Kingdom came suddenly, and they couldn't leave for the time being.

Qi Lu scratched his chin and said, "Lin'er, good boy, next time Lu will cook for you and cook for you alone. It's absolutely true. This time it's more real than real gold, okay?"

The Son of Heaven still stared at Qi Lv quietly, and said: "I don't understand why the Tai Tuo treats the two young princes of Qi so well? Now that Prince Qi is in Linzi City, Gongsun Wuzhi is in our hands. To put it bluntly, although the two young masters are justified, they are too young to become the Tai Tu's opponents, why did the Tai Tu treat those two young masters so well, don't tell the widow that blood is thicker than water."

Qi Lu looked at the sky lightly, as expected the Son of Heaven knew him well, why blood is thicker than water, Qi Lu and the two young masters didn't have much interaction at all, according to Qi Lu's temperament of being unprofitable, and he was afraid of trouble With a temperament, she will not take the initiative to provoke others.

Qi Lu said: "Son of Heaven, don't you know this? This is called soliciting."

The emperor's eyelids twitched, and he said, "Win? Recruit? But they are only three or four years old. What's the use of recruiting a baby?"

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Son of Heaven, what you said is wrong. People should not be judged by appearances. Although Young Master Jiu and Young Master Xiaobai are a little younger, they have a clear temper and are much smarter than ordinary milk dolls. There is nothing wrong with coming to the emperor's camp, besides, many friends are better than many enemies, isn't it?"

The emperor still looked unwilling, not because he didn't want to make friends with Xiao Douding, but because he didn't want to share the pig's trotter pot.

Seeing the appearance of the emperor, Qi Lu said: "The emperor must have three chapters with the law, and you must never grab food and drink for a while, and you must maintain the majesty of the emperor, absolutely..."

Before Qi Lu could finish speaking, the Son of Heaven had already said, "Your widow... try your best."

Qi Lu: "..."

The emperor sounded quite sincere, and he didn't agree to it outright. After all, he really couldn't guarantee that he could do it.

While they were talking, the eunuch came over to communicate, saying: "Son of Heaven, Taifu Qi, the envoy of the Qi State, Mr. Jiu, and the envoy of the Qi State, Mr. Xiaobai, are asking to see you outside the tent."

Ji Lin coughed, raised the majesty of the emperor, and said, "Come in."

Soon, the curtains of the camp tent were slammed up, and Young Master Jiu led Young Master Xiaobai in from the outside.I haven't seen him for a while, but Young Master Jiu still looks like a gentle big brother. Young Master Xiaobai seems to have grown in size, but he is still a small bean bun, much shorter than his second brother, Young Master Jiu.

Young Master Xiaobai has a stern face, serious and unsmiling. In fact, he has always been like this. He has a style at a young age. There are some differences, but as to why, Qi Lu couldn't answer for a while.

When Young Master Jiu saw the Son of Heaven and Qi Lu, he immediately bowed down and said, "Young Master Jiu of the State of Qi, I have paid my respects to the Son of Heaven and Grand Tutor Qi."

Xiaobai next to him also bowed down, but kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.

The Son of Heaven frowned, and stared at Young Master Xiaobai. This Young Master Xiaobai was simply uncharacteristically, his eyes were still "stunned", with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

Seeing that the emperor had been staring at Xiaobai, the son immediately said to the son, Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, pay your respects to the emperor."

Young Master Xiaobai was a bit stubborn, still had a stern face, pursed his lips tightly, didn't open his mouth at all, and made a murmuring sound from his mouth: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Ji Lin and Qi Lu couldn't hear what Young Master Xiaobai was saying. He seemed to be paying their respects, but he didn't open his mouth and couldn't speak clearly.

Young Master Jiu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me, the Son of Heaven and the Grand Tutor, Xiaobai didn't intend to offend the majesty of the Son of Heaven, but..."

When he said this, Young Master Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes wide, and grabbed Young Master Jiu's sleeve and shook it back and forth, which meant that he didn't want Young Master Jiu to tell the truth, wishing he could lie on the ground and roll around on the spot.

Young master Xiaobai didn't know at all that his behavior was like being coquettish, and he almost turned Qi Lu over. I'm afraid no one in the world would have guessed that the leader of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, who will dominate the world in the future, would be a cute and lovely girl. Small bean buns.

Qi Lu smoothed things over and said: "Young master is young, the emperor will definitely not care about it like young master."

Qi Lu said so, in fact, the emperor also wanted to eat the pig's trotter pot earlier, so he didn't pursue it and let everyone sit.

Everyone gathered around the table, because they were eating pig's trotter hot pot, so it was not a meal sharing system, and it was quite lively when they gathered together.

Qi Lu couldn't help feeling a little emotional. It was a long time ago when he was on the way from Zheng Guo to Luoshi, he met Young Master Jiu and Young Master Xiao Bai. After so long, the scene at that time is still vivid in his memory.

Because it was a solicitation, Qi Lv was very "gracious" and deliberately scooped up the biggest piece of pig's trotter and put it in Young Master Xiaobai's Chengpan, and then scooped another piece and put it in Young Master Jiu's Chengpan.

After Qi Lu finished these, he received the faint gaze from the emperor, which almost pierced Qi Lu, Qi Lu hurriedly picked up another one, and put it in Chengpan for the emperor.

Only then was the emperor satisfied, and without looking at Young Master Jiu and Young Master Xiaobai, he immediately began to enjoy the delicious pig's trotters.

The taste of the pig’s trotters in the pig’s trotter pot is somewhat similar to that of the old mother’s trotters, but it is more refreshing than the old mother’s trotters. It must be because of the pillow melon in it. But it is not rotten, and the tendons are still a bit chewy. The mastery of the heat is simply perfect.

Ji Lin gnawed two big pig's trotters in one go, it was two, not two pieces. He looked up inadvertently, and suddenly saw Young Master Xiaobai. Everyone else was eating, but Young Master Xiaobai folded his arms, because The two small arms are short and a little fleshy, but the arm-folding movement looks very cute, and there is an illusion of bluffing.

Qi Lv also found out that Young Master Xiaobai didn't eat at all, but just stared at the pig's trotters in Chengpan with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

Qi Lu said strangely: "Young master? But the food doesn't suit your taste?"

Just as Young Master Jiu was about to speak, Young Master Xiaobai grabbed the hem of Young Master Jiu's clothes and shook him vigorously, but he refused to let his elder brother speak after being beaten to death. Young Master Jiu was so helpless that he had no choice but to say, "Okay, brother don't say anything, brother don't say anything."

Young Master Xiaobai obviously had something to hide. At first, Qi Lu thought that Young Master Xiaobai had some opinion on his pig's trotter pot, but soon, Qi Lu realized that was not the case. Like a little milk wolf, he wished he could gnaw on the pig's trotters with his eyes, but he just didn't move, and he didn't open his mouth. He pursed his lips and looked serious.

Although Ji Lin also had doubts, but if Young Master Xiaobai didn't eat it, it was just right, and he could eat a few more yuan.

The emperor's eating is very contagious and elegant, which makes people look very appetizing. The son Xiaobai seems to be infected by the emperor. He swallowed a saliva, and couldn't help it. Finally, he stretched out two small hands and grabbed Picking up the pig's trotter in Chengpan, he took a bite.

Young Master Xiaobai took a bite, his eyes were bright and gleaming, as if he had been conquered by the pig's trotters, he immediately started eating, and couldn't bear his appetite any longer.

Qi Lvding took a look, and couldn't help but burst into a "puchi" laugh. He finally understood why the young master Xiaobai had been silent all this time, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face.

because……

Young Master Xiaobai lost a front tooth!

Young Master Xiaobai Rourou's small mouth had a gap in the middle, only one front tooth, and his mouth was completely exposed, eating and talking must be leaking, so he refused to speak just now, obviously because his self-esteem was too strong.

Qi Lu couldn't help laughing, Young Master Xiaobai pouted immediately, and looked at Young Master Jiu pitifully, as if he was asking his brother for help.

Young Master Jiu coughed, changed the subject, and said, "I don't know the Son of Heaven and the Grand Tutor, but what can I tell you?"

Qi Lu wiped his mouth with a smile, cleaned his hands, and then said: "What do you want to tell me? The two young masters were Lu's adopted sons a few days ago, and now the two young masters are Lu's nephews. The young master sent you out as envoys, so although you two are still young, you must have a lot of thought, so you must understand why?"

Young Master Jiu's temperament is relatively gentle, he smiled slightly, and seemed to be in no hurry, and he didn't feel that he was kicked out by the prince Zhu'er at all.

The young master corrected and said, "Teacher has something to say, please speak up."

Qi Lu said: "It's very simple, cooperate."

Qi Lu paused, and then said: "As long as we cooperate, the prince Zhu'er is now fighting alone, and he has sent Lian Jin to the camp of the Central Army of the Huben Army. Are the two young masters afraid that they will not be able to return to Linzi City?"

Hearing this, young master Xiaobai put down the pig's trotters in his hands, but the pig's trotters were held in his two small hands and gnawed, and it was a bit sticky, so he tied his hands and held them up in front of his elder brother, as if he wanted the young master to help him. wipe.

Young Master Jiu picked up the handkerchief, carefully and gently wiped Young Master Xiaobai's hands, smiled, and suddenly said, "What if we don't cooperate?"

Ji Lin's face darkened in an instant, and he didn't cooperate after eating the pig's trotter pot from the widow?

On the contrary, Qi Lu smiled very relaxedly, and said: "The two young masters are smart people, and Lu believes in the judgment of the two young masters, whether to be cannon fodder for the prince's sons, or to cooperate with the emperor, don't worry, you can take your time."

Young Master Jiu was not frightened by the emperor's expression, he didn't look like a child at all, he was surprisingly calm, and then said: "Excuse me for being impolite, I was just joking, after all, Jiu and third brother are still young now. If you recklessly fight against the prince and the sons, you will definitely not get good results, so it is better to cooperate with the emperor, isn't it?"
