thank you + extra

Lu Zhu shook her head even faster, and whispered: "The Empress Dowager treats the servant girl very well."

She followed the empress dowager and had never experienced hardships. The empress dowager didn't send her much work, most of the time she could see her and let her accompany her.Although she was asked to keep watch at night, in fact, she was rarely called at night, and she was always allowed to sleep until dawn.Luzhu is very thoughtful, and she always remembers the Queen Mother's kindness to her, so she is also very loyal to the Queen Mother and will never betray her.

As soon as Lu Zhufang finished speaking, he felt the Queen Mother approaching.The Queen Mother's body was warm and soft, not cold at all.Luzhu couldn't help being surprised, the queen mother was not cold, she lied to her.

Next to her ear, the Queen Mother's voice sounded again, and the Queen Mother said: "Since I treat you well and you are not afraid of me, why are you so restrained?"

Lu Zhu was already nervous, but hearing her questioning made her even more nervous, she didn't even dare to look at the Empress Dowager, she lowered her head, and said in a trembling voice: "Maid, maid..."

She has always been weak and timid, but the Empress Dowager knows that under her timid appearance, there is a tough heart hidden.In the days of Nagato Palace, it is not so much that she treated Luzhu well, but rather that Luzhu took care of her, making her look away a little bit, look down on power, and live a life that is not so unwilling to suffer.

The Empress Dowager raised her hand and stroked Lu Zhu's cheek. Lu Zhu opened her eyes, full of nervousness and fear.The empress dowager caressed her smooth face expressionlessly, and then moved down her neck until she reached the belt. Said: "Do you know how to serve the bed?"

Luzhu was shocked, her voice changed, she couldn't help but backed up, and said in a trembling voice: "My servant, my servant..."

The Queen Mother frowned: "You don't want to?"

Lu Zhu shook her head, she instinctively did not dare to go against her will, but her body still couldn't stop backing away.

The queen mother smiled, but her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said: "During the day, you just said that you belong to me, so it turned out that you lied to me?"

Chapter 85

How dare Lvzhu coax her, shook his head anxiously, and said: "My maidservant, this maidservant belongs to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager calmed down, approached her, and said: "It's mine, so naturally I want to sleep in bed."

She didn't know why the green bamboo belonged to her, so she was going to attend the bed, but she understood what it meant, she was worried and afraid for a moment, and before she could hide any more, the Queen Mother had already leaned over, and her eyebrows and eyes were dyed With a thin smile and a natural charm, while Lu Zhu was staring blankly, he leaned over and kissed her lips.

In an instant, the room was bright and bright.

Liu Zao and Xie Yi agreed that they would go out of town.But when it came to the end, something happened again in the court.In such a big world, there are big things, but there are countless small things.What Liu Zao was most impatient to deal with was not major matters related to people's livelihood, nor were officials committing crimes, but trivial matters that had to be dealt with.

After all, when you are young, you always like to be neat and crisp, and you are always irritable when it comes to procrastination.Unfortunately, this time, it's just trivial matters.

Xie Yi knew her temperament, in the past, she would always handle such matters well, make a summary, write a playbook and submit it to her for review.But this time, Liu Zao was thinking about going out with Xie Yi, so she and Xie Yi ordered the subordinates to report the matter to her desk first, she read it, she looked over it, selected some thresholds, and made a decision, Then hand it over to Xie Yi.

In this way, Xie Yi's embrace became much easier, but it was different in the eyes of others. Many ministers secretly thought that His Majesty did not trust the Prime Minister and had to look at everything in person.

How could Liu Zao take care of them and relax again, it was already a month later, as soon as she got out, she hurriedly went to grind Xie Yi and go out of the city.

Xie Yi had already agreed to her, how could she break her promise, picked a bright sunny day, and rode out of Chang'an City together with her.

At that time, it was icy and snowy, and the sun was warming. Liu Zao happily rode his horse and galloped through the forest.

In winter, there is snow all around, Xie Yi thought, there is not much to see, so she went here with Liu Zao to hunt.

It is recorded in "Zhou Li" that the kings hunt in the fields at four seasons, and the names are Chunsou, Xiamiao, Qiushou, and Dongshou.Liu Zao has been on the throne for several years, hunting in four seasons, with great momentum.But any time, it is not as good as today, I am happy.

Some small animals appeared in the snow, Liu Zao had sharp eyes, and when she saw them, she rode her horse and chased them, and when she caught up, she used her bow and arrows, some of them were hit by the shot, and some were missed, but it didn't hinder her high spirits.

Xie Yi also has a bow in her hand, she is far behind Liu Zao when riding a horse, most of the time, she just holds the rein and follows her, watching her happily chasing animals.

When Liu Zao was twelve or thirteen years old, once on a spring trip, he caught a rabbit on the road.On that day, Xi Xi wrote in a letter with Xie Yi: "The emperor's grandson got a cunning rabbit, and he was overjoyed. He cooked it with his own hands and ate more than half of it."

Xie Yi knew then that she should love hunting.It's just that the past few times I went hunting in the court, but I didn't see how His Majesty was interested. After thinking about it for a while, she guessed that maybe there were too many followers, which made His Majesty feel that he lost the fun of hunting.

She only brought three attendants with her, and the rest were stationed outside the forest so that His Majesty could have fun. Sure enough, His Majesty was very interested.Seeing Liu Zaoying's valiant back, Xie Yi also became happy.

Liu Zao rode the horse in front, she suddenly pulled the rein to stop the horse, then fixed her eyes on the front, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, put it on the bow, took aim, and after a while, the feathered arrow pierced the wind and went away.Xie Yi then looked forward, and saw a white fox looking for food in the snow ahead.The fur of the white fox is like snow, hidden in a vast world, it is extremely difficult to find.

The moment Xie Yi saw it, the feathered arrow followed and pierced the white fox, and the white fox fell down immediately.

"I've been hit!" Liu Zao shouted loudly, looked back at Xie Yi, and then rode forward.

Xie Yi followed closely behind.Liu Zao got off the horse next to the white fox and lifted the white fox up.The arrow pierced through a pair of eyes, and it was only thanks to her outstanding archery skills that this was possible.Xie Yi saw it, and knew that His Majesty shot his eyes on purpose, probably because he wanted to leave a complete fur.It was obvious who to leave the fur for.

There was a smile in Xie Yi's eyes, and she got off the horse and saw Liu Zao exposed the fox's belly in disappointment, saying, "It's not a pure white fox." There was a piece of black fur on the belly, which spoiled the color of the fur.

Xie Yi took it and said with a smile, "It's also pretty."

When she boasted like this, Liu Zao immediately laughed again: "I've sent someone to cook."

Xie Yi couldn't help it, touched her ear, and said, "Take a break."

It was getting late, it was almost noon, Liu Zao hunted all morning, and she got a lot of money. She specially selected a gray rabbit and a mountain pheasant from the prey, took a dagger, ran to the river, and peeled the skins herself. cleaning.At this time, all the attendants had followed up, they were shocked and turned pale when they saw this, and rushed to serve them, Liu Zao felt that they were annoying, so he drove them away and continued with his work.

She wants to cook delicacies for Xie Xiang by herself, without help.

The pork and meat were all washed and cleaned, and Liu Zao's hands were red from the cold.But she didn't stop for a moment, and went to build a fire herself. Xie Yi wanted to help, but Liu Zao didn't want to, as long as she picked a few dead branches.

Xie Yi listened to her all.She is a prime minister giving orders, and a stable person over thirty years old, so she is not used to doing this.But she searched very seriously, and never asked the attendants to help. When she saw one, she picked it up, held it in her hand, and continued to search.

Liu Zao looked at her figure, his smiling eyes gradually softened, and his expression was full of dependence.

Xie Xiang is really good.She regards her as a child and loves her, and also regards her as a beloved person to accompany her.

Xie Yi picked up a lot of dead branches, which was enough.

Liu Zao began to work, putting all the prepared rabbit meat and pheasant meat on the campfire.Her movements are a bit clumsy, but even though she is clumsy, she can be called orderly, and she doesn't seem to be overwhelmed.

Xie Yi sat on the side and waited, occasionally obeying the order and throwing a dead branch into the bonfire.

The meat gradually changed its color as it roasted, dripping out oil and giving off the aroma of meat.Liu Zao took some spices and sprinkled them on top. Xie Yi glanced at her hands curiously. Liu Zao explained, "It's a spice from the Western Regions. I tried it and it tastes good."

Xie Yi nodded in relief.

Liu Zao glanced at her, lowered his head slightly, there was nowhere to hide his smile.

Rabbit meat and pheasant meat are roasted in different ways. Liu Zao explained to Xie Yi while doing it: "I have consulted with the chef, the meat quality of the two is different, rabbit meat is fishy, ​​and pheasant meat is real, so you have to cook it differently to make it delicious. .”

She sprinkled a lot of spices on the rabbit meat, and she kept turning it to make the heat evenly. When the rabbit meat turned a beautiful orange color, she poured the prepared juice down, so that the juice flowed along the cut meat seam infiltrate.

Mountain pheasants don't need to be so troublesome. They are wrapped in sackcloth and pressed with big stones before they start roasting.

Xie Yi looked at her sternly, very appropriate, couldn't help but imagine the scene when His Majesty was asking the chef for advice, and couldn't help but glance at her.She can do so well, she must not only ask for advice, she must have practiced quietly many times.
