Palace Full of Delicacies

Choose a concubine, regardless of gender.

Su Yu suddenly felt that he had not traveled to ancient times, but to the future. This society is too open!

Mrs. Zhao talked about the benefits of participating in the general election. If she could be selected, she would be able to win at least a first-class general after a few years. It might fall on Su Yu's head.

Su Yu was still in a state of shock, and he didn't listen to a word of his aunt's words, to be exact, he didn't understand at all. He suddenly found that he lacked a lot of common sense in this world.

Absently holding the name card and leaving the backyard, Su Yu looked up at the sky and walked towards the study.

The Su family has never been a scholarly family, but at least they are nobles, and there are still things like the study for outsiders to see.

Pushing open the dust-sealed door, the kitten in his arms was sneezed by the dust choking on his face. Su Yu quickly waved his sleeve, patted the dust-stained hairy head, picked up the torch and lit it. Candlesticks in the house.

The study room is not big, and the books on the bookshelves are limited. Su Yu held up the candlestick and searched for a while, but he didn't find any books that could help him understand common sense.There were no encyclopedias in ancient times, and you could only read the law if you wanted to read them. But as a fish-selling family, would there be a law book in the study?

Seeing Su Yu's sad face, An Hongche was a little confused, so he stretched out his paw and patted Su Yu's face.Su Yu lowered his head and met the kitten's big eyes, and he saw doubts in those eyes that were like glazed beads.

"I think I know too little about this dynasty. I need to find a law book to study." Su Yu looked at the cat's eyes, and unconsciously wanted to explain to it, even though he knew it couldn't understand.

Hearing the word "this dynasty", An Hongche narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Sauce, why would the royal family want a male concubine? This world is too amazing." Su Yu couldn't help talking too much while rummaging through the pile of books.

Coming to this strange time and space, it would be a lie to say that there is no fear. Su Yu has been living carefully, for fear of revealing his flaws. Even if there are many things he doesn't understand, he can't say that he can't ask. Only then did he dare to let go of his guard.

The golden kitten was pawing at the skirt of its clothes, listening to Su Yu's ramblings quietly, the tip of its tail hidden in the clothes was shaking slightly, and its amber eyes were dim.

"Ah, I found it!" Su Yu exclaimed, and picked up a dusty book from a corner. Character.

...The honorable clan, all men and women of the right age, and those without a marriage contract are required to participate in the election...

...When the crown prince is established, the harem will be disbanded, except for those who have heirs, the women will return to Ning, and the men will be judged by rank...

Su Yu lay on the bed, carefully studying the chapters about the royal family's selection of concubines, the more he read, the more confused he became.The golden hair ball was lying on his back, licking his paws boredly.

According to the records of the law, the royal family of the Da'an Dynasty is really wonderful.There is no distinction between men and women in the selection of concubines, and it can also be understood that the royal family is fond of the south wind. This may also happen in a particularly open dynasty, but the remaining rules are really incomprehensible.Once the crown prince is established, all the concubines in the palace who have not given birth to children will be released, women can remarry, and men will be directly promoted to rank!

According to the rank in the palace, noble men can be promoted to the title after being released. For example, if they become "concubine", they can get an earl; if they become "concubine", they will be marquis; return.

"This is too ridiculous!" Su Yu was dumbfounded.

Hearing this, An Hongche flicked his tail, stood up and climbed onto Su Yu's head to look down.

"Then let's all go to the palace and become concubines. Who will make contributions to protect the family and defend the country!" Su Yu seriously doubted whether this law was a pirated copy bought by his ancestors at a street stall.

Stupid thing, is it so easy for you to be a male concubine?An Hongche jumped off Su Yu's head, squatted on the law book, and tapped the corner of the page with his tail. There were all kinds of strict restrictions on male concubines. To choose a male concubine to enter the palace, one must be a member of the royal family. How many people agree that it is necessary to get extremely high evaluation in the general election.It can be said that those who can be selected are already qualified to be promoted to rank.

Su Yu lay down on his back, held up his name card and looked at it again and again, there were five gold-plated characters written in the center, "Su Yu, styled Jintang".

Having been here for so long, Su Yu still doesn't know that he is literate. He thought this body was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he didn't expect it to be weak.

"Jintang..." Swiping the two words with one finger, Su Yu's thoughts drifted a little. What was he doing when he was 20 years old in his previous life?No one in the family cared about him, and he couldn't afford the tuition fees when he was admitted to university. He went out to work early, killed fish and washed vegetables, and was busy from morning till night.

An Hongche climbed to Su Yu's chest, looked up at the post, "Jin Tang, that's a good word."

Although Su Yu didn't look carefully at the restrictions on choosing a male concubine, he also understood that such a good thing would definitely not fall on anyone's head easily, and the royal family would definitely be cautious about male concubines, Zhao's thinking was still too simple up.

"As far as my virtue is concerned, it's useless to go there. The emperor can only fall in love with me if he is blind." Su Yu casually threw the post aside and decided to ignore it.

Outrageous!The kitten on the chest suddenly became unhappy, and stretched out its claws to slap Su Yu on the head.

Su Yu conveniently pressed the cat to his face, and happily rubbed it among the soft fluff.

In the middle of the moon, a slender white hand picked up the name card that fell under the bed, and lightly pursed her pale thin lips. How dare you throw away the name card!

Others have squeezed their heads to enter the palace, but this stupid thing doesn't want to go!An Hongche sat on the bed, feeling sullen for a while, turned his head to look at Su Yu who was sleeping with an ignorant face, and angrily stretched out his hand to pull him into his arms.Tilting his head and looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but get closer, licked on that soft lips, and then put the name card into his sleeve pocket.

Forget it, I am so generous and benevolent, how can I bear to see you being stupid, so I will help you and treat it as a reward for your proper service these days.

The next day, Su Yu forgot all about the name card, got up, packed up and went to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Zhao Wang's family's Qing Ke was very capable, and yesterday evening they found two helper cooks. An Hongxi asked Su Yu to go to Zhao Wang's mansion every day and cook a dish every day.

Su Yu asked one of the chefs to learn how to grill squid in the garden, and the other to cook seafood porridge in the kitchen, while he himself brought a plate of golden butterfly shrimp to make snacks for King Zhao, "Don't you need to go to court?"

"Brother Huang is sick and will not go to court." An Hongxi happily fed the cat while eating.

The corner of Su Yu's mouth twitched, and when he mentioned that his brother was ill, he was an ordinary person, so he had to pretend to be sad anyway.

"The restaurant is starting to decorate today, you can go and have a look in the afternoon," An Hongxi said after eating the last prawn, the grilled squid over there was ready, took a sip of tea, then grabbed a bunch of squid and started to eat, "Well, It’s not as delicious as yours.”

Su Yu gave the little chef a few pointers to let him master the heat, and chatted with King Zhao about the decoration of the restaurant. While talking, he talked about the general election. He suddenly thought that since the emperor was still ill, this year's general election would be impossible Push it again and save him the trouble.

"General election?" An Hongxi blinked, and glanced at the kitten on the table quietly, "This depends on the mood of Brother Huang."

Remembering that Su Yu is also an honorable person, King Zhao laughed and said that Su Yu should go.The decoration of the restaurant can be completed within half a month, and there are still three months before the general election. During this period, Su Yu can make a lot of money to bribe Zong Zhengsi.As for the royal family, King Zhao would definitely vote for Su Yu.

Su Yu felt that he was just asking for trouble talking about serious matters with this unreliable King Zhao, so after noon he followed Qing Ke to the East Street to look at the decorations.

Originally, the tavern of these two rooms did not need any complicated decoration, the focus was on the creation of the spiral staircase.The pawn shop downstairs was originally unwilling to let Su Yu repair the wooden ladder outside, which would cover part of his front face, but when he heard that it was someone from Prince Zhao's Mansion, he moved the warehouse overnight without saying a word, and even offered to come over to the craftsman. They bring water.

When Su Yu wanted to take back these two shops before, he talked to the owner of the pawn shop, and was ridiculed by the shopkeeper.

"We will be neighbors from now on, so we should help each other." The shopkeeper of the pawnshop was smiling, as if he was not the same as the shopkeeper a few days ago.

The craftsmen hired by the palace are naturally one of the best, more than a dozen craftsmen start work at the same time, the speed can catch up with those decoration companies in Su Yu's previous life, within ten days they will pretend to be on par, and they will be ready to open in half a month.

"Sauce, wake up, today the restaurant unveils a plaque, you have to be a lucky cat!" Su Yu finished breakfast, went back to the house to look for the lazy cat who was still sleeping.

The cyan curtain swayed with the breeze, Su Yu lifted the curtain with a smile, and immediately froze on the spot.

The morning sun poured in, illuminating the simple wooden bed. The cat that had been sleeping in the center of the bed disappeared, replaced by an unusually handsome... man.
