Chu Qing said solemnly: "The emperor canonized the foreign minister as Lord Qinghe, who is one rank higher than the fourth concubine, and is the only one. The foreign minister is naturally delighted."

Chu Tingyue sneered, "You also know that I canonized you?"

"Since you have entered the palace and enshrined the throne, you don't need to call yourself a foreign minister, you have to call yourself—"

"Concubine."

Chu Qing slowly opened his eyes and stared at Chu Tingyue with disbelief.

Chu Qing suspected that he had heard it wrong, "Your Majesty, what did you say...?"

"Didn't hear clearly? I'll say it again, you have to listen carefully."

Chu Tingyue rested his elbows on the low table, and suddenly approached Chu Qing. The distance between the two was so close that he could even see his own reflection clearly in the other's eyes, "You have to call yourself a minister or concubine."

Chu Tingyue emphasized the last two words, and looked straight at Chu Qing, with the aura of being in a high position all year round firmly locked on Chu Qing and oppressed him.

Chu Qing's upper body unconsciously leaned back, "Forgive me for my lack of talent and learning, but I don't know that after a man enters the palace and enshrines the throne, he needs to call himself a 'concubine'."

For a man to call himself a concubine, Chu Tingyue deliberately humiliated him, and Chu Qing almost gritted his teeth before uttering those two words.

Chu Tingyue's eyes turned around his face with unclear meaning, and he returned to the original sitting posture, "It turns out that you are ignorant, I will not pursue it for the time being, just change your address."

Chu Qing suppressed his anger, and it took a lot of effort to control the hand that seemed to have an idea of ​​his own, and didn't let the palm of his hand stick to Chu Tingyue's face.

He smiled on the skin, "I have read a few ancient books and history books when I have nothing to do. I haven't seen any such records, but I can see them calling themselves 'Chen' everywhere. I don't know where you think this is so strange, Your Majesty." It's better to find out the book and burn it, don't mislead your disciples!"

"So the Servant knows how to call himself?" Chu Tingyue raised his eyebrows lightly, with a slight smile on his lips, "Since you know what to call yourself, why don't you change your name? Could it be that you are still thinking about your old master."

Chu Qing paused, secretly thinking that Chu Tingyue was waiting here.

"How can I have a master, if we want to talk about it, there really is one."

Chu Tingyue concentrated, "Who is it?"

"Far in the sky, close in front of your eyes, it is precisely you, the emperor."

Chu Tingyue scoffed, "Slick tongue."

"How come? What I said is the truth. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. Whether it is the harem or the court, you have the final say. You are the master, and all the ministers depend on you to live. When you grow up, you are the master of the world when the four barbarians come to court, and whoever calls you master, you deserve it."

Chu Qing's true feelings made it difficult for a moment to tell whether he really thought so, or he was using this to satirize that the great court was Chu Tingyue's one-sided hall, arbitrarily beheading the prince of a country.

"Shijun, you are really courageous." Chu Tingyue looked at him carefully.

Chu Qing lowered his eyes, "It's not comparable to the emperor."

Chu Tingyue snorted coldly, "You are eloquent."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Chu Tingyue turned his head away, not to talk too quickly with him.

"Pass the meal."

Chu Tingyue said, Zhou Porridge who was waiting on the side did not expect that he really wanted to eat here, he hesitated for a while before agreeing, exited the hall, and led Gong'e in after a while.

Gong'e held the food plate in her hand, came in gracefully, set the imperial meal quietly and neatly, and stepped back to wait for orders.

"Retire." Chu Tingyue finished his order and sat down straight away.

Gong'e blessed her body and retreated outside the hall.Chu Qing stood aside and watched them leave, feeling bad in his heart.

The emperor had to test the poison when he ate meals. This poison test was not a simple screening with silver needles, but the poison testers tasted the dishes one by one, and the maids were gone. Who would test the poison?

Chu Qing secretly glanced at Chu Tingyue, and saw Chu Tingyue looking at him.

"..."

"My lord, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Chu Tingyue smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, it was purely a weasel wishing a chicken a new year, and he had no good intentions.

Chu Qing secretly groaned, Chu Tingyue, a tyrant, even killed the prince of a country, he made too many enemies, and the people who wanted him to die must be one after another. If you test the poison for him, the probability of being poisoned and killed is higher than that of previous generations. There are many more poison testers around the emperor.

Although this is the royal meal of the palace, the possibility of being tampered with is very small, and Chu Qing does not want to try it rashly.

"Your Majesty," Chu Qing tried to struggle, "I'm sick, and I'm afraid I'll give you the sickness."

"It's okay, I'm in good health, and I'm not afraid of your minor illness or pain. If you accidentally contract it, it's better than dying from blood poisoning from the seven orifices," Chu Tingyue pushed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Chu Qing, "servant Jun, do you think so?"

"..."

No, Chu Qing said silently, nothing is as important as his life.Chu Tingyue was poisoned and died, it has nothing to do with him.

Chu Qing didn't want to say anything, "I'm clumsy..."

Chu Tingyue lowered his voice and interrupted him, "If you continue to speak, I will leave you without hands and feet."

He has no hands and no feet, so you want to cut him into a pig and put him in a jar to suffer, which is worse than death?

Chu Qing immediately fell silent, glanced at Chu Tingyue, and said quickly: "The emperor trusts me and asked me to test the poison for you. I am very honored."

After finishing speaking, he quickly shut up and picked up the bowl and chopsticks.

When he first entered the palace, the imperial dining room didn't know his taste preferences, and all kinds of dishes were prepared, perhaps because they were afraid that the taste would be too heavy for his liking. To be on the safe side, most of the dishes prepared were light dishes, with only a few spicy dishes on the corners. dishes.

Chu Qing looked at the delicious delicacies that might be poisonous, so he went all out, took a piece of stir-fried phoenix tongue, tasted it carefully, and tested the poison.

The phoenix tongue was spicy and full of aftertaste, just right for Chu Qing's appetite, Chu Qing swallowed the food, waited for a while, and then took a piece with the serving chopsticks and put it in Chu Tingyue's bowl, "Please use, Your Majesty. "

Chu Tingyue paused, looked down at the hot phoenix tongue, and then looked up at Chu Qing.

Nanliang came prepared this time, and even inquired about his tastes and preferences, did he teach Chu Qing?

Zhou Congee's complexion changed, just now Chuan Shan took into account Shi Jun's taste, did not replace all the dishes with light ones, and left a few dishes with other flavors, not wanting Shi Jun to accidentally give the emperor some spicy food.

The emperor can't touch spicy food, it can cause stomach discomfort in mild cases, and red rashes all over his body in severe cases.

Shijun didn't know the emperor's preference and offended the emperor, Zhou Porridge was full of pity, the favor that Shijun had just received was coming to an end, and was about to boldly persuade Chu Tingyue to change a pair of bowls and chopsticks, but he didn't change his expression, picked up Put the phoenix tongue in your mouth.

The spicy taste filled the mouth, like a ball of fire exploding in the mouth, hitting the throat, Chu Tingyue's complexion changed slightly.

Chu Qing asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, how does it taste?"

"...not bad."

Hearing this, Chu Qing picked up two more chopsticks for Chu Tingyue, eat more if it tastes good, so that he will not continue to test the poison if he is full soon, who knows if people who want Chu Tingyue's death will be poisoned today .

Chu Qing rinsed his mouth and was about to taste the next dish, when he saw Zhou Porridge behind Chu Tingyue winking at him vigorously, Chu Qing was puzzled, and looked at the dish that Yuzhu was going to offer, hot and sour boneless fish.

Chu Tingyue doesn't eat fish?He knows.

Chu Qing turned his hand and reached for another dish, which was roasted eel with fragrant eel, a spicy dish, and after the poison test, he put it in a bowl for Chu Tingyue.

Zhou Congee: "..."

"Your Majesty, this dish is not bad. It is spicy and salty on the outside, smooth and delicate on the inside. Would you like to try it?"

Chu Tingyue looked at Chu Qing, who was full of spicy food, and Chu Qing, who was full of spicy food, and couldn't tell what he was thinking for a while.

"it is good."

Chu Tingyue responded, and slowly began to taste.

Chu Qing glanced at him, and had to admit that Chu Tingyue's demeanor was impeccable. After all, he was educated by the royal family, no matter how bad he was, he could still look like a human being.

He didn't understand the real meaning in Zhou Congee's eyes, so he tried a few more dishes, and four out of ten of the meals served to Chu Tingyue were all spicy food.

Chu Tingyue took all the orders, and when he got up after finishing his meal, he pressed his stomach indistinctly.

Chu Tingyue finished his meal, and Chu Qing was half full after he tested the poison.

"Your Majesty, let's eat."

Chu Tingyue said, walked straight to the side and sat down, closed his eyes and meditated, with his palms on his waist and abdomen.

Chu Qing glanced at him, then at the dishes on the imperial case, and laughed angrily.

Test poison, eat leftovers, Chu Tingyue, I really have you.

Chu Qing picked and picked, picked up two untouched delicacies at random, and put down the jade chopsticks.

Zhou Porridge left the palace when Chu Tingyue left the table, and he didn't know where he went. Lingyin asked Gong'e to come in and remove the rest of the dishes, and Rongyin poured Chu Qing a cup of hot tea.

Chu Qing sipped hot tea and found some peace for the time being.Chu Tingyue didn't speak, and Chu Qing wouldn't open his mouth to make fun of himself, and the two lived in peace.

It was dusk, and the huge palace was brightly lit.The candlelight flickered, and the swaying light and shadow cast a shadow under Chu Tingyue's slightly closed eyelashes.

The warm light from the candlelight softened Chu Tingyue's sharp face and seemed to smooth away the spikes all over his body.

Chu Qing held the teacup and looked at him blatantly.

Chu Tingyue frowned indistinctly, and the palms on his waist and abdomen were so hard that his fingertips turned white.

Chu Qing put down the teacup and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

No matter what's going on, don't let it happen to him, he can't bear the charge of 'murdering' the emperor.

Chu Tingyue opened his eyes, looked at Chu Qing, seemed to be probing, and paused for a while before saying: "You go to bed tonight, get ready to go."

"..."

Chu Qing regretted it, even if Chu Tingyue died in front of him, he shouldn't be the one to speak.Now that he is on fire, he deserves to suffer.

Seeing that he didn't move, Chu Tingyue said in a low voice, "Hurry up."

"Yes, I'm going to prepare now." Chu Qing said unhappily, and retreated into the side hall.

He is sick, and Chu Tingyue wants him to sleep with him, he is simply inhuman.

Chu Tingyue is not a man, don't blame him for not being a man.

Rong Yin had never seen his complexion so bad before, so she couldn't help lowering her voice, "Master...do you really want to serve the bed? Why, why is the emperor so indifferent?

You contracted the cold and your body was already uncomfortable, just now you were asked to test the poison, and you also ate a lot of spicy food, you always eat bland, how can you bear it.That's it, the emperor still let you stay in bed, is he so unrestrained? ! "

The more Rong Yin spoke, the more she couldn't control the volume, she couldn't help raising her voice, her face turned red with anger.

Lingyin looked confused, quite at a loss.The master doesn't want to go to bed, she shouldn't prepare things to serve, but the master doesn't go to bed, according to the tyrant's temper... Can their master and servant see the sun rising in the morning?

Chu Qing turned around, looked at the flickering candle flames, thought about it, and smiled, "Serving the bed, of course I want to serve the bed, the emperor prefers it, entering the palace as a concubine, and staying in Qingyan Palace is a unparalleled honor in the world." , it’s too late for others to envy her, so why should I not go to bed?”

Chu Qing urged, "Lingyin, hurry up and get ready, don't make the emperor wait, hurry, and wait."
