Palace Full of Delicacies

After Concubine Lu left, the Empress Dowager rubbed her forehead with a headache.

"The imperial concubine is becoming more and more disfigured now." Aunt Lin, the old maid standing behind the queen mother, took a step forward and helped the queen mother rub her temples.

"The one from the Marquis of Changchun is very useful, but it's a pity that he didn't become a concubine." The queen mother leaned on the pillow, frowning slightly, "What did the emperor have for breakfast?"

"Concubine Xian made seafood porridge. I heard that she ate two bowls before going to court." Aunt Lin said with a smile.

"That's good," the Queen Mother smiled, "Let Yang Qing tell Concubine Xian that it's enough to greet Ai's family once every three days."

"Yes." Aunt Lin answered with a smile.

When Su Yu arrived at Anguo Pagoda, he found that the gate was tightly closed, only two guards were standing in front of the gate, so he knew that the gate of Anguo Pagoda was not open in the morning.

"The national teacher will start watching the stars at noon at night." The guards said that Su Yu could come back after taking a nap.

Su Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, he showed filial piety when he settled down in the morning and evening, and came back after taking a nap, it turned into an afternoon tea, who else should he invite?Looking up at the sky, I suddenly remembered the new mission given by His Majesty the Emperor last night. I slapped my head and hurried back to make lunch.

In the imperial study room, An Hongche's face was cold and serious, and two slender fingers tapped lightly on a stack of memorials.

"Chaozhong has now become the voice of the Lu family, and everything they say is 'secondary advice'." King Zhao complained while sorting out the memorials that his brother had finished approving.

"Throw them all back and tell them that if they want to second the proposal, they should copy the prime minister's memorial again." King Su felt a headache when he saw the ten-thousand-character long book written by the prime minister. .

"Uncle Thirteen, the [-]-character book was written by Yushi." King Zhao sighed, the prime minister's memorial was not long, and copying it ten times was useless.

"According to Uncle Huang's orders." The silent emperor suddenly said.

"Ah?" King Zhao opened his mouth wide, "Uncle Thirteen is talking nonsense..."

"I'd like to see how courageous they are." The upturned beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and An Hongche's eyes were full of cold light.

Before the age of 20, he was unstable and often turned into a cat. He had to be absent from the early court on the grounds of being weak and sick.Now that he has reached the crown, naturally he can't let it go any longer, it's time to punish those people.

"Hey, I'm most annoyed by those civil servants who babble." King Su threw back the long book and took out a picture from his sleeve. "Your Majesty, this is the new palace defense."

An Hongche took it and glanced at it, "Can it be prevented?"

"It's hard to say about outside thieves, but inside thieves can be prevented." King Su frowned, but he didn't pat his chest to ensure that it was safe.When I first heard that the "Holy Cat" ran out of the palace, there were guards with knives to drive him away. He broke out in a cold sweat from thousands of miles away. This time when he returns to Beijing, he has to clean up the palace so that the water can't enter it.

"How did you spend those two months outside the palace? Brother Thirteen and I were scared to death." Mentioning this, King Ling stroked his chest as if he was frightened. In human form, a kitten that is usually so precious is living outside, it is very pitiful to think about it.

An Hongche glanced at Uncle Seventeen with an exaggerated expression, and ignored him.

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch." Eunuch Wang came out to remind in due course.

"Let's call it a day." The emperor heard the words, the gloom on his face immediately disappeared, he got up and left.

King Su and King Ling looked at each other, and turned to look at King Zhao together. Since when did the emperor become so interested in eating? He is not at all like the original emperor. Could it be that he is possessed by a fat man?

"What are you looking at me for?" King Zhao didn't know why.

"Didn't the emperor lose his temper every time it was meal time?" Ling Wang was very curious, and followed him out to see what happened.

Someone from afar came over carrying a food box, but upon closer inspection, it was not someone from the Imperial Dining Room.

"Su Yu!" King Zhao spotted the person behind the food box with sharp eyes, and ran over in two or three steps.

"His Royal Highness, long time no see," Su Yu greeted An Hongxi with a smile when he saw An Hongzheng, "I haven't thanked Your Highness for what happened last time." The last time I was in Zuixian Tower, if King Zhao hadn't gone in time, I wouldn't be able to tell He was really controlled by King Mujun, and after such a mess, he earned 3000 taels of silver for nothing.

"We're all a family, why are you being polite?" King Zhao chuckled, revealing two deep dimples, "What are you doing?"

Su Yu smiled awkwardly. He originally thought that if the emperor didn't go to Yexiao Palace at noon, he wouldn't have to cook. Who would have thought that he would not only have to cook, but also be responsible for delivering food.Calculated in this way, it is a bit of a disadvantage to pay 80 taels a month.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't come in!" The emperor's voice sounded in the dining hall, Su Yu bowed his hands to King Zhao apologetically, turned and walked in.

"Is this meal cooked by Concubine Xian?" On the beam of the dining hall, a big black and yellow cat stretched its neck, looked at the brightly colored dishes on the table, and swallowed.

"Shut up!" Another big cat with black and white stripes looked serious and patted his brother's paw.

"Oh, you hit me again!" King Ling was very upset, and opened his mouth to bite his brother's paw.

When Su Yu heard the meowing of a cat, he thought it was sauce, so he looked up and saw two big cats huddled together on the beam, "That's..."

"Whoosh—" A silver light flashed, and the two big cats quickly jumped down the beam and disappeared. A silver chopstick was accurately nailed to the place where the two cats were standing.

His Majesty the Emperor took the new chopsticks handed over by Eunuch Wang, and said with a blank expression: "You don't need to pay attention to it."

Su Yu blinked, there are so many cats in the palace... Wait, what happened to that chopstick just now?

After lunch, Su Yu was forced by the emperor to stay in the Arctic Palace to take a nap.

As a cook who is usually very busy at lunch time, Su Yu is not in the habit of taking a nap. He half-lyed on the head of the bed in high spirits, and quietly took one of the emperor's hands to study carefully.He was sure that the chopstick was thrown by the emperor with his bare hands, and it must have the legendary "internal strength" to be able to penetrate three points like in the novel!Thinking of the lightness with which this person climbed over the wall of the Su family back then, it must be lightness work!

Unexpectedly, the time and space he travels through is still a world of martial arts. Su Yu seems to have discovered a new land, and he is very excited.

"What are you doing?" A clear voice rang in his ears, Su Yu came back to his senses, and found that the emperor was looking at him with his eyes wide open, and he was still holding a "royal hand".

"Uh..." Su Yu froze in place, he didn't let go, he didn't hold it, he felt like he was being caught by the trolley wolf.

"I know you admire me, but it's also worth the occasion." An Hongche didn't seem surprised at all, and pulled his hand from Su Yu's palm.

"..." Su Yu almost choked on his own saliva, what did he hear?Who admires whom?Before he could argue, that slender and flexible hand stretched out again, wrapping his arms around his waist.

"Hmph, I can allow you to indulge in private," His Majesty said old-fashionedly, "Only I can pamper you like this."

Until he sent the sleepy emperor away to deal with government affairs, and walked to the Anguo Pagoda to greet the national teacher, Su Yu still hadn't gotten out of the emperor's magical logic.Which eyes of the emperor can see that he admires him?They've only known each other for two days, besides, this guy has a bad temper, even though he looks good...

"Concubine Xian, the national teacher welcomes you." The court lady in a plain dress saluted respectfully.

Su Yu shook his head, threw that dazzling handsome face out of his head, and walked into An Guo Pagoda.

The misty gauze was still hung in the hall, and the fairy air was overwhelming. The white-haired national teacher leaned on the high seat, looking at him coldly: "What are you here for?"

"I come to pay my respects to the national teacher." Su Yu stepped forward and saluted.

"If it's for morning and evening peace, there is no need to come again." The national teacher slightly closed his beautiful eyes and waved his hand gently.

"Concubine Xian, please go back." The maid who invited Su Yu in just now, still kept her smile just now, and invited him out again.

Su Yu looked at the Anguo Pagoda, which closed the gate again, and scratched his head.

"He really dares to greet the national teacher?" Concubine Lu Gui couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard about it. Who is the national teacher, and the emperor can't see him anytime he wants to. , he took it seriously."

"Isn't that right, you don't know the expression on Concubine Xian's face when she was kicked out, tsk tsk..." The eunuch next to him described Su Yu's embarrassment in order to make Concubine Lu happy.

"Hmph, I have offended the national teacher and let the emperor know how stupid he is. I think he can still be proud for a few days." Concubine Lu fiddled with a few wooden signs on the plate, "Go and send this to the Arctic Palace, just say yes Let Mr. Wang decide what the queen mother wants to do."

Throughout the dynasties, in order to ensure that the harem is evenly exposed to rain and dew, except for the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year when they had to go to the queen's palace, the emperor relied on flop cards to decide which palace to visit for his concubines.The Daan royal family even clearly stipulated that the emperor and the crown should be turned over every day.

In the Arctic Palace, Eunuch Wang frowned and looked through the wooden signs on the plate. Among the ten signs, there were three "Concubine Lu", and the rest included two concubines and several Zhaoyi, but there was no "Concubine Xian" .Since the Empress Dowager agrees with Concubine Lu Gui to advocate this matter, she acquiesced in her behavior, but...

"Your Majesty, it's time to turn over the cards." Eunuch Wang held the ebony carved tray and handed it to the emperor who was about to go to Yexiao Palace, hesitating to speak.

An Hongche turned over one without looking at it, and the attendant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately recorded: "On a certain day in a certain year, the emperor turned over the card of a certain concubine".

"Let's go." His Majesty the Emperor flicked his sleeves chicly, and walked towards Yexiao Palace.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:
