Facing the prince's provocation, Qin Tieniu smiled, "It hasn't been long."

The moment the four eyes met, a smell of gunpowder permeated the air.

"The emperor is here." With a word from Eunuch Qin, everyone returned to their seats.

The emperor appeared in everyone's field of vision wearing a dragon robe, "My son, my minister, my wife has seen the emperor, and the emperor is blessed."

On the high platform, the emperor looked at all the lovers, his eyes were full of smiles, "Pingshen."

"All my loves, today is the eve of the New Year's Eve. Since you are all here, you are all from your own family, so you don't need to be polite." The emperor said something, then turned his eyes to look at Eunuch Qin, "Let's serve."

"Start the dishes..."

As Eunuch Qin shouted loudly, the mother in the imperial dining room hurriedly ordered the maid to come forward with the dishes.

Not long after, every minister presented four or five dishes in front of the emperor, and the mother introduced them to the emperor one by one.

"good very good."

After the emperor tasted it, he was full of praise, "Did Qin Lu prepare all these?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Miss Qin prepared all the preparations with the cook from the imperial dining room." The nanny didn't take the credit, but told what Qin Lu had done. The emperor was quite satisfied with this, and he Smiled, "Rewards, all the staff in the Imperial Dining Room have rewards."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Momo was really overjoyed, Pei Zhengyan the prince gave the money, and now the emperor has also rewarded her, how could she not be happy, and she knew very well that it was all thanks to Qin Lu.

Back in the imperial dining room, Mammy looked at Qin Lu who was sweating profusely, her eyes were filled with gratitude, "Miss Qin will leave the rest of the matter to them, come here and have a rest."

Nanny pulled Qin Lu to the side and poured tea for her herself.

Seeing Nanny like this, Qin Lu instantly became nervous, "Mommy, what's wrong with you?"

Unexpectedly, Nanny stood up and saluted Qin Lu.

Qin Lu was even more flustered, Nanny was old enough to be her mother, how could she accept such kneeling, "Mommy, what are you doing?"

At Qin Lu's insistence, Mammy did not kneel down.

The nanny looked at Qin Lu seriously, "Miss Qin, this time is thanks to you, if it weren't for you, all of us in the Imperial Dining Room would not have been able to get such a reward..."

Speaking of this, the nanny couldn't help crying, "Over the years, our imperial dining room has been frequently disliked, and the people in the harem think we are just cooks, and they don't take us seriously at all, but since you came Everything is different, at first we were also jealous that you could get the emperor's favor, but now..."

It was the first time that Mammy talked to Qin Lu openly and honestly.

Qin Lu also had a serious talk with Nanny.

After opening up her heart, everything went smoothly, "Miss Qin, the emperor welcomes you."

When Eunuch Qin came to visit suddenly, Qin Lu looked at the imperial dining room and it was almost ready at this time, and then he was happy, "It's Eunuch Qin, I'll go there now."

Eunuch Qin didn't urge Qin Lu either.

Qin Lu used this time to explain a few words to Nanny before going to the main hall with Eunuch Qin.

At that time all the ministers gathered, the emperor laughed wantonly. Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, the crown prince got up and suggested, "Father, you are in a good mood today, and all the ministers are here. Although the sons and ministers were grounded, they did not forget the teachings of the father. During this period of time, I have been honing with great concentration, hoping to improve myself..."

"Well, it's very good that you have such an idea." The emperor was very satisfied with what the prince said, seeing that he was indeed much more stable than before, "Does the prince have any good suggestions?"

"Father, my son wants to celebrate his father with a sword dance. King Zheng is also a master. My son is willing to be with King Zheng, but I don't know what King Zheng wants?" The prince looked at Qin Tieniu aggressively.

Facing the prince's invitation, Qin Tieniu frowned in embarrassment, and after seeing the emperor's expectant eyes, he got up and replied, "Okay, then the king is respectful, it is better to obey, it can not only make the father happy, but also make the prince happy." Let's dance swords together, how can this king disagree?"

Qin Tieniu forced a smile, Qin Lu looked at Eunuch Qin worriedly when he saw him.

At that time, Eunuch Qin's complexion was not good-looking, and he asked softly, "Miss Qin, is your lord feeling unwell?"

"It shouldn't be there, but Tieniu's face is not right."

What both Qin Lu and Eunuch Qin found out, could the emperor still not find out, so after Qin Tieniu and the prince came on stage, he stared at them very nervously.

When they really started to dance swords, his heart was in his throat.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the crown prince was targeting the prince on purpose. Some of the ministers found it tricky and murmured softly, "Could the prince be injured?"

"It seems to be, does the prince know something?"

"That's right, how can this prince keep attacking one part of the prince?"

The prince's sword is deadly, but Qin Tieniu is just dancing with his sword.

Finally, after a quarter of an hour, Qin Tieniu was obviously defeated. The crown prince hit him in the chest. The emperor stood up angrily, "Enough..."

"Father, calm down."

"Prince, you are dancing swords, not fighting."

The emperor looked at the prince unhappily, the prince didn't expect the emperor to be angry, in his opinion, the emperor would think that Pei Zhengyan was a waste because of his bad dance, why did he get angry with you?

Thinking of this, the crown prince became flustered, "Father, my son is just dancing the sword, and he didn't do anything else. I just didn't expect the prince to be so unbearable."

"Okay, take a seat, I still want to taste Qin Lu's craftsmanship!" The emperor frowned and didn't want to continue the topic of the prince. Seeing what the prince wanted to say, the emperor waved him to retreat.

The noble concubine saw the emperor's displeasure, so she raised her glass with a smile, "Your majesty, it's okay for the prince to dance swords with the prince, don't you want some rewards?"

With the concubine's proposal, the emperor nodded in agreement, "That's right, tell me, what do you want?"

"My son..."

"Prince, you are still grounded. Let King Zheng talk about the reward first." The emperor interrupted what the prince wanted to say, obviously not wanting to reward the prince.

The prince's eyes darkened and he knelt on the ground for a moment, "Father, if it were anything else, I would not be begging you at this time, but I want to ask for a kiss."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present exclaimed, and even Qin Tieniu's face changed, and he knelt on the ground after a while, "Father, my son wants to ask for someone."

"Oh, you all ask for help, it seems that my emperor's son has really grown up." There was no disturbance on the emperor's face, but his tone was a bit cold.

The two kneeling on the ground faced each other, neither of them flinched.

Not far away, Qin Lu was standing there with her heart in her throat. She guessed that the person who the prince asked for a marriage proposal was probably herself. She didn't want to see Tie Niu confront the prince. .

"Father, my son has been away from the capital for so many years, and has always been taken care of by the father and daughter of the Qin family. My son and Qin Lu are in love with each other, and they have already been engaged in the Qin family. Today, my son asks my father to marry me."

"Father, I fell in love with Miss Qin at first sight. I have never asked you for anything else. Today I just want to ask you to marry me and Miss Qin Lu."
