Seeing Coke staring at her face in a daze, Su Yunzhi couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Coke gave a jolt, quickly pressed down those weird thoughts, and said, "Ma'am, do you want a meal?"

Su Yunzhi ate a lot of snacks and fruits in Zhaoyang Palace, and now she doesn't feel hungry at all.However, in order not to delay her master's meal, the small kitchen in her palace must have already prepared lunch.If she doesn't eat now, some dishes can be put on the stove and will be hot on the stove, and some dishes will affect the taste after a while, so they can only be poured.Su Yunzhi didn't like wasting food, so she said, "Okay, order someone to prepare the meal."

The cloud dynasty was frugal.According to the ancestral system, the emperor had 32 dishes for a meal, and the empress halved it. As a concubine, Su Yunzhi naturally couldn't surpass the empress in terms of servings, so a meal consisted of twelve dishes.Twelve dishes may seem like a lot, but they are nothing compared to the ostentation of the aristocratic family.

Su Yunzhi directly pointed to eight of the dishes and said, "Take these up and let the people below share." She doesn't like rewarding people with the dishes she has eaten, and it is too much for one person to eat twelve dishes per meal. It was extravagant, so she would ask the palace servants to share some dishes before eating every time.

In Huayang Palace, apart from the two big maids, Coke and Xuebi, there are also several second-class, third-class and last-class court ladies, as well as a few small eunuchs.These people's portions are very limited, and the food is brought from the big kitchen in the palace.It's fine if it's hot, but if it's cold, the food will already be freezing when it's brought to you.Su Yunzhi rewarded her share every day, so that these low-level palace people could eat something good.

As for Coke and Sprite, they still need to serve Su Yunzhi for dinner, so naturally they can't compete with other palace people for food.Fortunately, because they are highly regarded in front of Su Yunzhi, their meals are always prepared in the small kitchen.Therefore, the two court ladies did not need to eat Su Yunzhi's leftovers.

In fact, Su Yunzhi doesn't need others to serve her, and she's not a waste. Could it be that she doesn't even know how to eat?But this is also a rule.If Su Yunzhi did everything by herself and spread the word, people would not say that she was considerate to the servants, but would say that she was petty and not in the public eye.

Su Yunzhi is a person who knows current affairs very well.

Until she's the one who makes the rules, she won't break the rules.

There are four dishes left on the table, one soup, one meat and two vegetables.Su Yunzhi rubbed her stomach, and felt that she was not hungry at all, she must not be able to drink the soup, so she smiled and told Coke, "Put this emerald and white jade soup in a food box, and you can go there yourself. Send it to Qinzheng Hall."

These things are what Coke is used to.Su Yunzhi, as a person who "deeply loves" the emperor, of course has to seize every opportunity to send things to the Palace of Qinzheng, soup, soup, water, and peach branches that have been cut and put into vases in spring, and in winter. Send plum branches, in short, there are many tricks.

Coke reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you want to send soup to the emperor, chicken soup is being stewed in the small kitchen..."

Emperor Qianqing was a man who loved meat and dislikes, with a heavy taste.Su Yunzhi chose what he liked, and always sent chicken soup, ribs soup, and other broths.And this time the Jade and White Jade Soup is plain tofu soup with green vegetables. This kind of light food is obviously not in line with the taste of the emperor!

"The weather has turned hot, and it's almost summer, the emperor should also drink something light, so as not to get angry." Su Yunzhi said.Even though there was no one around her except Sprite Coke at the moment, she still displayed excellent acting skills when she said this, as if she really cared about the emperor's body.

Coke responded very cooperatively: "Your Majesty is wise, if the Emperor knows what your Majesty wants, he will definitely be moved."

The master and servant smiled at each other.Coke put the vegetable and tofu soup into a food box, and carried it to Qinzheng Hall.

Qinzheng Hall is the place where Emperor Qianqing worked, sat and slept.It is the largest palace in the palace and has a very large building complex.There are also 24 halls and pavilions in the Hall of Qinzheng, including Yanchun Pavilion, Yanfu Pavilion, and Zichen Pavilion, which are both integrated and differentiated.Among them, some palaces are located in the outer palace, and some palaces are located in the inner palace.For example, Yanchun Pavilion is located in the Outer Palace, where Emperor Qianqing handled government affairs and met the elders of the pavilion.But Zichen Pavilion is in the inner palace, where he sleeps.If Emperor Qianqing didn't recruit concubines, he would often sleep alone in Zichen Pavilion.

The emperor invited the empress to have a meal together, and the lunch was naturally placed in the inner palace.

It is said that once entering the palace gate is as deep as the sea, this sentence is actually not wrong at all.Even if Gong Qinggui is the queen, except for the annual sacrificial activities and so on, her scope of activities is basically confined to the inner palace.Even if she has already arrived at the Palace of Qinzheng, the places where she can move freely are only these buildings in the inner palace, and she cannot walk towards the outer palace.In other words, she is not qualified to go to Yanchun Pavilion.

The Yanchun Pavilion is the symbol of the top power of this dynasty.

Hehe, this era has placed too many constraints on women.The noblest woman is but a canary in a cage of beauty.

Gong Qing narrowed his eyes and raised his head slightly, as if looking at a white cloud in the sky leisurely.But in fact, her sight fell on a tree in the distance.In the small building complex belonging to Yanchun Pavilion, there is a tall tree that is said to be a hundred years old.

Women are not unqualified to go to Yanchun Pavilion.Didn't the empress dowagers of the two palaces handle government affairs for a full ten years in Yanchun Pavilion?

Gong Qing retracted his gaze.

Her momentary stupefaction was not noticed by anyone.

Although Emperor Qianqing and Gong Qing are the hostess and hostess of the harem respectively, they are not familiar with each other at all.Gong Qing is not someone who likes to take the gentle route, she only acts in accordance with the rules and regulations, so although she seems to be very respectful to the emperor, the more respectful she is, the more indifferent her attitude will appear.Emperor Qianqing didn't take this into his heart, he had already made up his mind that this empress was just married as a decoration anyway.

As a result, the two perfectly implemented the principle of "you can't talk when you eat".

Coke was waiting at the door to pass.When the eunuch guarding the gate saw the food box in her hand, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.Okay, Concubine Shu is really very temperamental. The emperor just invited the empress to have a meal, and she immediately ordered people to bring soup. Is this to compete for favor?

Concubine Shu is too courageous!This is a blatant confrontation with the empress!

If you go in and communicate at this time, wouldn't it be a shame on the queen?But if it is not passed on, Concubine Shu's face will definitely be swept away.

The gatekeeper eunuch was caught in a dilemma.

He hesitated for a while, finally gritted his teeth, and went in to communicate.After all, he has received a lot of benefits from Concubine Shu over the years.

Emperor Qianqing was happy when he heard that his concubine brought him soup again, and immediately ordered Chang Youfu to bring in the food box.But Gong Qing still looked neither sad nor happy.She put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief elegantly, and really wanted to know what tricks that Su Yunzhi was up to again!

Chang Youfu is old, so it is said that he does not need to do many things by himself, but he has a deep affection for Emperor Qianqing, so he still tries his best to do it himself.

As soon as the food box was opened, the aroma came out.It's just that the aroma is not as strong as the broth.

Chang Youfu took a drug test and brought the soup to the table.Emperor Qianqing saw that it was a vegetarian soup that he didn't like to eat, and said, "Oh, my little Jiaojiao must have become petty." For a narcissistic person like Emperor Qianqing, he can completely imagine Su Yunzhi deliberately gave him the vegetarian soup he didn't like because he was jealous.It can only be said that Su Yunzhi was too good at acting before, so that no matter what she does now, the emperor will not be suspicious.

Gong Qing couldn't help but smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the weather is getting hotter. Concubine Shu also cares about your body with this vegetarian soup. Speaking of it, I am not afraid of the emperor's jokes. The concubine originally disliked Concubine Shu and thought she was a lover. It's nonsense. Looking at it now, she is more attentive than others!"

This sentence is really appropriate.

Emperor Qianqing immediately understood what Gong Qing meant.Everyone else gave him whatever he liked, but Concubine Shu was thinking about his body, and at the risk of being misunderstood by him, she still presented what he didn't like.Compared with other people's flattery, this sincerity is really rare!

Gong Qing's eyes fell on Tang.

The maid standing beside her serving dishes was very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately scooped up a bowl of soup for the queen when she saw this.And when she was doing these things, the maid standing behind the palace leaning and serving couldn't help but sneered in her heart.Serving the soup sent by Concubine Shu to the queen, is this fatal?

Gong Qing was not angry at all, she picked up the spoon and took a sip unhurriedly.

"This soup tastes good. Sister Concubine Shu really put her heart into it." Gong Qing said again.

Her actions immediately caused Emperor Qianqing to look at her highly.He couldn't help but think in his heart that he is worthy of being the empress chosen by Emperor Gaozong himself, and the daughter of the prostitute brought up by the palace family. She is so graceful and majestic, neither jealous nor jealous. If it weren't for her family background... I gave her a child. Why not?

If Gong Qing knew what was going on in Emperor Qianqing's mind, she would definitely sneer a few times, and then speed up some secret actions.

Chang Youfu also served a bowl of soup for Emperor Qianqing.The emperor took a sip and couldn't help frowning.This soup has no flavor at all!However, thinking that this was Aifei's wish, he drank half a bowl anyway.In the end, most of the soup was drunk by the empress with a light taste.

It's really tiring to eat with an older child. The food is so crowded that I can only drink soup.

A box of real jewelry is exchanged for a bowl of emerald and white jade soup.
