Palace Full of Delicacies

"Ah?" Su Yu raised his head from the cat's fur, why did the imperial concubine want him?

"The imperial concubine asked you to go to her bedroom." Thinking that Su Yu didn't understand, Eunuch Yang changed his words.

"This...isn't appropriate..." Su Yu scratched his head, the imperial concubine is probably a woman, so it's not good for people to know that she is so secretive to let him meet alone.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go." Eunuch Yang looked at Su Yu who seemed a little tired. Eunuch Wang had already explained that he should beware of Concubine Lu's embarrassment for Concubine Xian. On the first day after entering the palace, he called Su Yu by name. Clearly uneasy.

"That's it, then we won't go," Su Yu said without knowing the reason for this, but he had never heard of the rule of paying respects to the noble concubine, probably because the noble concubine was too curious about him, a rare species, and wanted to see it, but he He was not interested in the imperial concubine at all, so he lay down again, and nuzzled the lying kitten, "Sauce, have you seen the imperial concubine?"

His Majesty the Emperor licked his paw, as if he didn't understand at all.

Yuluan Palace.

After hearing the little eunuch's reply, Concubine Lu Gui immediately raised her eyebrows, "Say it again!"

"Concubine Xian said that he is a man, so it is inconvenient to meet with the concubine and empress alone, and I hope that the concubine will forgive me." The little eunuch expressed Su Yu's meaning as tactfully as possible.

"This Su Yu is not easy to deal with." Lu Guifei gritted her teeth. She is not a queen yet, and the concubines in the harem naturally do not have the obligation to pay her respects every day, but there is no queen in the harem now. Yin Xie is in charge of the sixth palace, no different from the queen, but anyone who knows and is interested will come to greet her from time to time.

"I want to report to Your Majesty, Concubine De and Concubine Shu are here to say hello to Your Majesty." A palace maid came in to report.

Concubine Lu raised her hand to let the two concubines in, and not long after, Zhaoyi and Cairen from various palaces came to say hello, and the main hall of Yuluan Palace was soon filled with people.

"The emperor has never been in the harem, and now the male concubine has to be summoned as soon as she enters the palace..." Concubine Shu twisted the veil in her hand, very worried. If the emperor likes men, wouldn't they have no chance?

The faces of the other concubines were also full of panic. Before, everyone was the same, no one said anything, even the noble concubine with infinite glory was like that, but now someone has been favored, and the balance of the harem has been broken in an instant.

"Your Majesty, why don't Concubine Xuan Xian come here so we can meet him." Concubine De suggested.

"Hmph, do you think Bengong didn't announce him?" Lu Guifei's eyes were full of gloomy, "I don't take Bengong seriously at all!"

"The concubines just went to Ci'an Palace, and I heard that the concubine Xian hasn't gone to pay her respects to the Queen Mother." Chen Zhaoyi rolled his eyes and smiled lightly, "Why don't you use this to punish him for disrespecting the Queen Mother?"

Miss Changchun Hou's family stood behind Chen Zhaoyi, and she couldn't help biting her lips when she heard this.She was named a Cen Cairen and stayed in the palace directly. She has been hit a lot in the past two days.Now those above Zhaoyi can sit, but she can only stand behind Zhaoyi in her palace.She was the one who was supposed to be concubine, and he should be the one who was jealous by these glamorous women, so why did he become the fish seller!

"What do you know, if someone has won the favor of the emperor, he will naturally be exempted from paying his respects the next day." Concubine Lu Gui sneered, these women thought she was stupid and instigated her to use the Queen Mother's name.

"Concubine concubine is dull." Seeing Concubine Lu was unhappy, Chen Zhaoyi hurriedly squatted down to apologize, she really forgot about this, after all, no one had ever enjoyed such treatment before.

When Miss Cen saw Concubine Lu's raised eyebrows, everyone trembled three times, she was jealous and envious, hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help saying: "I heard that Concubine Xian used to be a fish seller, and she can't read big characters." one."

Originally, she laughed at Su Yu as only being a servant, but who would have thought that the situation of the two of them was completely reversed, and now she has to pull down her face to curry favor with Su Yu, she is absolutely unable to do so, it is more practical to curry favor with Concubine Lu .

"Oh?" Concubine Lu Gui looked up at her, and had an idea in her heart.

After all, it is midsummer, and the sun can only be exposed to the sun for a while in the morning. When the sun becomes poisonous, Eunuch Wang will come to pick up the kitten.

Su Yu understood that Xindao Sauce was not just the emperor's pet, and in the future, he might be able to communicate with the national teacher on the method of traveling back by relying on the "befriend the guardian beast".

Su Yu had nothing to do, so he dug out the Su family cookbook to research new dishes.

There is everything in Yexiao Palace, the most valuable thing is that there is a fully equipped kitchen.I heard that there is a small kitchen in every palace, which is convenient for concubines to cook by themselves, but the kitchen in Yexiao Palace has obviously surpassed the category of "small kitchen", it is as spacious as three rooms, and it is equipped with two assistant cooks maid of honor.

"If the emperor is lucky, he likes to eat meals cooked by his concubines. The higher the palace, the better the kitchen." This is the explanation given by Wang Gonggong.

Although Su Yu didn't understand the emperor's special hobbies, having a good kitchen is naturally a good thing for the cook, so he excitedly took out the sea crabs he bought for the sauce.Su Ji's cookbook records a kind of snack made of crab meat wrapped in flour, which is quite interesting. Su Yu squeezed the crab sticks into the shape of bones with bad intentions, and made rows of meaty bones.

In the afternoon, Concubine Lu once again spread the word that a flower viewing banquet was held in the imperial garden, and all the concubines were invited to enjoy the flowers at dusk.

An open place like the Royal Garden is not considered a private meeting, and people have explained that all the concubines are invited. Su Yu guessed that this should be a company gathering for new recruits to meet with managers at all levels, so it was not easy to shirk, so he agreed.

His Majesty the Emperor finished dealing with important matters in the imperial study, and then he was going to have lunch at Yexiao Palace.

"Your majesty, what you do will make it difficult for the concubine Xian." Eunuch Wang persuaded with a perplexed expression. He just announced the call last night, and went to have dinner with him at noon, and he might call again at night.If this spread to the court, the accusation of a blue-faced disaster to the country might not be able to escape.

"I'm going to have a meal, what's the problem?" An Hongche frowned, how much effort he had to marry Su Yu into the palace, why didn't he let him have a meal?

Eunuch Wang thought to himself, if you want to go to dinner, you have to go to the court on time, and just waiting to dissuade you, you listened to the report from the guards outside, saying that King Ling and King Su asked to see you.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." The two emperor uncles saluted respectfully.

"Pingshen," His Majesty put away the dissatisfaction on his face, and waved his hands to make people stand up, "how is it?"

King Su took a step forward, and said in a clear voice: "My Majesty, I checked the roster of the Xiaoqi Battalion for this year in the past two days. There are indeed omissions in the defense of the capital, which must be rectified immediately."

Tapping a memorial on the table with two slender fingers, An Hongche said in a deep voice, "Is there any clue about what happened before?"

King Ling and King Su looked at each other, and sighed, "I probably already understand that those who followed Su Yu were the people of King Mujun, but the origin of the two killed by the emperor has not yet been found out."

"Continue to investigate," the emperor's beautiful eyes were full of cold light, "the matter of the Xiaoqi camp is not urgent, the thirteenth emperor uncle will clean up the defense of the inner palace first."

"I obey the order." King Su bowed to receive the order.

"Your Majesty, I still have something to report." After talking about the business, King Ling hurriedly said before the Emperor could speak to drive people away.

"What?" An Hongche frowned slightly, it was lunch time, and he would miss lunch if he didn't go to Yexiao Palace.

"Except for the basket that Concubine Xian got, I still have a lot of peppers here." King Ling took a step forward cheekily, "Look, this should be used for lunch. I brought a pack of peppers here today. May I ask my niece and daughter-in-law to cook some boiled fish?" Then he took out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve and put it on the imperial case.

An Hongche's face darkened immediately, "My concubine, how can she cook like a cook." As he spoke, he held a bag of chili peppers in his hand and walked away with his sleeves.

In the end, because of the disturbance of the two emperor's uncles, His Majesty the Emperor failed to catch up with the lunch in Yexiao Palace, so he took a nap in the dormitory sullenly.

Because it was the first meeting, Su Yu felt that it shouldn't be too embarrassing, so he asked Xiao Shun to choose a decent dress. Xiao Shun obediently chose a royal blue wide-sleeved dress, and a silver dress with sapphire inlaid belt. Put the fringed tiara on him.

Su Yu looked at the sapphire the size of a pigeon egg for a while, "Where did this thing come from?"

"It's from your mother's dowry," Xiaoshun said, "I was in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't tidy it up, so the little one just picked one up."

"How many of these things are there in the dowry?" Su Yu swallowed, he didn't look carefully at the royal rewards, he knew that many were very valuable.

"Eunuch Yang is already counting, and I can bring the detailed list in the evening," Xiaoshun replied honestly, and then couldn't help adding, "Your Majesty, the reward you get is the only one in this palace. The rewards are probably incomparable."

Su Yu felt that he was quietly receiving a high salary and went to the Royal Garden to visit his colleagues who were suffering, and he was full of anticipation for this party.

Dressed up with excitement, Su Yu took the displeased "Your Majesty the Holy Cat" from Eunuch Wang's hand, "Sauce, what's wrong?"

"I didn't eat well at noon, and I'm losing my temper," Eunuch Wang said with a face full of embarrassment. "The emperor is still busy with the previous court, so I have to take care of you for a while."

"No problem." Of course Su Yu was very happy. He stuffed the fur ball into his lapel, took the crab sticks he made at noon, and jumped into the car to go to the Imperial Garden for the banquet.
