Palace Full of Delicacies

The fish fillets fried with peppercorns and sesame seeds exude a tempting fragrance near the sensitive nose.

"Crack!" His Majesty the Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Su Yu's wrist, and said coldly, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, that..." Su Yu laughed dryly twice, it's too bad, he got playful for a while, and teased His Majesty the Emperor like a cat.

An Hongche let out a cold snort, got up and sat up, narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes slowly moved from the slightly panicked face to the hand holding the chopsticks, and then to the burnt and crispy fish fillets on the top of the chopsticks, paused for a moment, and then Turning around to face Su Yu's nose, "You have become more and more bold recently!"

The two were too close, the warm breath sprayed on the face, Su Yu looked at the magnified handsome face in front of him, the strong sense of oppression made him shrink back, and the hand holding the chopsticks turned a corner, The fragrant fish fillet was placed between the two of them.

"Your Majesty, the fish fillets are getting cold." Su Yu smiled flatteringly.

"Humph!" His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly, opened his mouth and rolled the fish fillet into his mouth, but he still didn't let go of Su Yu's hand, and just looked at him straight.

Su Yu felt a little hairy when he was watched, and felt that the emperor was not chewing fried fish but him, so he couldn't help swallowing.Just now, when he saw this guy sleeping softly with his hands and feet, he suddenly felt very cute, and for a moment he was cheap... How did he forget that this person is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and he is not someone he can tease at will.

His Majesty the Emperor viciously ate the fish fillet in his mouth, then pressed the tip of his nose against Su Yu's and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to dangle things in front of me."

"Hmm..." Su Yu was about to agree, when suddenly the emperor bit the tip of his nose, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

An Hongche sneered, let go of his hand, turned his head to look at the dinner on the small table, and frowned at the plate of fried shrimp in sauce, "What the hell are you making?"

"Shrimp in Maggi Sauce," Su Yu rubbed his nose that hurt from being bitten, and passed a pair of chopsticks over, "I made it after a lot of effort, Your Majesty, try it."

The so-called Maggi sauce is a soy sauce synthesized by modern people using industrial raw materials. This dish is extremely simple for seafood dishes. Just buy some soy sauce of this brand. It is simple and delicious, but in ancient times, Su Yu made his own sauce.The sauce prepared with natural condiments is several times more delicious than industrially synthesized ones.

His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly, and instead of picking up the chopsticks that Su Yu handed over, he lay back on the cushion again, "It's unpalatable to look at." This soy sauce was prepared by the stupid slave a long time ago, and even the stupid younger brother has a few in it. Bottle, when he doesn't know?

Today, the imperial dining room specifically said that there were fresh crabs, so he threw away the ones made by the imperial dining room, and waited for Su Yu to make delicious crabs for him to admit his mistake, but this stupid slave refused to make them for him, and just used this to fool him he.

Su Yu blinked, no matter what he did these few days, the emperor would finish it without raising his head, what happened today?He picked up a piece of shrimp meat and brought it to the emperor's mouth, "It doesn't look very good, but it's definitely delicious."

Looking up at the flattering Su Yu, His Majesty's complexion improved a bit, the stupid thing finally felt a little bit slave-conscious, well, this sauce still tastes so delicious.

Seeing that the emperor was willing to eat it, Su Yu made persistent efforts to grab another piece and fed it, "I like this dish the most, and I can eat a big plate every time."

"Ahem..." The emperor suddenly choked.

After finishing dinner decadently on the cushion, the emperor lazily leaned on the large welcome pillow, picked up the memorials at hand a few times, and picked up a random one to read.After a few glances, he became impatient, and touched Su Yu who was sitting on the soft cushion with his foot, "What are you looking at?"

Because Su Yu was bored, he dug out the study of "The Mind of Killing Fish" from the bottom of the food box, and when the emperor asked about it, he honestly passed the book over.

An Hongche threw the book aside without looking at it, and stuffed a stack of memorials into Su Yu's hand, "Read."

Su Yu curled his lips, he really enjoyed it, he didn't bother to read the memorial, so he turned the memorial into an audiobook.

Most of the memorials that His Majesty left to read at night were irrelevant or he didn’t want to read them but had to read them before the court, so he listened absent-mindedly and just quietly looked at Su Yu’s earnest side face, feeling quite good Listen carefully to his reading word by word.

It is a bit difficult to read the traditional Chinese characters. Su Yu can only read it first by himself to get a general understanding of what is being said, and then read it out slowly. When I saw the word "foreign star", I quickly read it carefully, and suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave, "...The alien star has been placed in Dali Temple, and it will be severely tortured, and it will soon..."

Severe punishment, severe punishment...

Su Yu stared at those two words, and the hand holding the memorial began to tremble slightly. It would be fine if he was killed, so why torture him to extract a confession?Forcing himself to calm down, he cleared his throat and read slowly, never showing his feet and letting the emperor see that he was wrong.

An Hongche looked at the pale Su Yu, frowned slightly, and immediately understood what was going on, and stretched out his hand to pull Su Yu into his arms, "Do you know this alien star?"

Su Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to look back at the emperor's face, "I heard the mention from the national teacher and His Highness King Su today, but I don't know what this alien star is?"

"Half a year ago, the national teacher calculated that a foreign star appeared on the star map, saying that it was related to the coming catastrophe of Da'an," An Hongche hugged him in his arms, as if he couldn't feel the tightness of his body in his arms, and his tone was relaxed Said, "The royal family has been looking for this alien star, but they don't know what it is, maybe it's a person, or maybe it's an object."

"Then why did you throw it in Dali Temple?" Su Yu's eyes widened, he grabbed them without knowing what it was, and tortured him to extract a confession!

An Hongche glanced at him, and said slowly: "The old man just wants to use this to eradicate dissidents, is it a fool to think that I am?" Concubines are not allowed to participate in the government. He shouldn't have said this to Su Yu, but who told him Is he a master who favors slaves?

It turned out that it was the court's strife... Su Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then realized that he was surrounded by the emperor's arms, with a warm chest tightly pressed against his back, and he couldn't help but become stiff again.

An Hongche looked at the face of the man in his arms that was gradually returning to blood color, and thought that this stupid slave is really delicate, and couldn't help being frightened at all, so he rubbed it on that fair neck, "I'll make crabs for me tomorrow."

Crabs cost one tael of silver each!The minister has no money!With a bitter face, Su Yu really wanted to tell the emperor that, as an emperor, even if he couldn't bear the responsibility of supporting his family, he should at least pay the meal expenses to the hard-working chef!The growling question reached his mouth and he swallowed it back, but he still didn't have the guts to say it.It is a favor for the emperor to eat the meals cooked by his concubines. How can there be any reason to ask the emperor for food?

"Your Majesty, can I go out of the palace for a while?" Su Yu asked tentatively. He had already asked Eunuch Yang. As a male concubine, he could actually go out of the palace occasionally. There are also many things to deal with, but the emperor's consent is required.

"Leaving the palace?" An Hongche frowned, "What are you going out of the palace for?"

"I have a restaurant on the East Street. I don't go to take care of it for so many days. I'm afraid something will go wrong." Su Yu said weakly, planning to get the bonus in his heart, and discuss it with Mr. Yuan by the way, and use the money in his hand. Open two more branches.Now spending money in the palace is like running water, so you have to earn more money.

"As a concubine, you just need to serve me well, what are you doing with your idle mind!" Thinking of the two little cooks in Xianmantang, the old man at the counter, and his younger brother who went to eat from time to time, An Hongche felt dissatisfied for a while. happy.

"I'm a man, why can't I just do nothing in the palace all day long, not to mention I have my aunt and concubine to support me." Su Yu tried to protest.

"Shut up!" His Majesty the Emperor couldn't bear it any longer, and pushed the chattering Su Yu down on the cushion, "It's enough for you to think about me alone, and no one else is allowed to think about it!"

The emperor disagreed, and the matter of leaving the palace was naturally out of the question. Early the next morning, Su Yu paid his respects to the queen mother in a listless manner.

"Ai's family heard that the emperor eats your cooking for three meals a day." There were no other concubines today, not even Concubine Lu came to join in the fun, and the Empress Dowager still had that indifferent look.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not giving up." Su Yu wasn't sure what the Empress Dowager meant by her words, was she accusing him of seducing the emperor, or was she simply telling the truth?

"You go to Anguo Pagoda every day, what do you see?" The Queen Mother asked unhurriedly, taking a sip of tea.

What do you see?Su Yu frowned slightly. He would drink a cup of afternoon tea with the national teacher every day, so he could see something, "The boy is dull, I don't know what the queen mother is referring to?"

"You can persuade the emperor to drink some of the ginger tea that the national teacher drinks. It's not good to eat those cold fresh foods." The queen mother sighed, and raised her chin to Aunt Lin who was beside her.

Aunt Lin understood, and took a can of ginger sugar powder and handed it to Su Yu, "This ginger sugar powder is made by Ci'an Palace, I'm afraid it's not as good as the one from the National Teacher."

The Empress Dowager appointed him to pay her respects, so it wasn't just for him to ask for ginger candy, right?The problem is, even if he is coming, the emperor hates sweets so much, it would be strange if he could drink them.Su Yu looked up at the Queen Mother, since he cared so much about his son's food, then he should be able to beg for some food for his son, right?

"I have something to report to the Empress Dowager." After hesitating for a moment, Su Yu thought about his empty purse and the emperor who was about to run out of food, gritted his teeth and said cheekily, "The price of seafood in the palace river is high, and my monthly allowance has been exhausted. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the emperor's meals today..."

"What?" The Queen Mother looked at him in surprise, and then turned to look at Aunt Lin.

"Your Majesty, you are saying that you paid for the ingredients these days?" Aunt Lin immediately understood and asked for the Queen Mother.

"Yes... crabs cost one tael of silver, and I really can't afford them. The emperor didn't eat them yesterday." Su Yu said with some embarrassment, seeing that the emperor couldn't eat something delicious, he felt a little sorry, The crab is so fat, it would be delicious if it is made into salt-baked crab or just steamed.

The Empress Dowager looked at Su Yu with eyes that gradually became deep. After a long time, she suddenly laughed, "What a sincere child."

Su Yu blinked, not knowing why.

"Leaving this matter to the Ai family will definitely not let the emperor go hungry." Seeing Su Yu's dumbfounded look, the queen mother couldn't help laughing.

After leaving Ci'an Palace, Su Yu couldn't help sighing, in order to feed the emperor, he started to beg for food, and that guy didn't let him out of the palace, really...

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a person staring at him impatiently on the palace road not far away, "Stupid slave, what time is it, and you are still walking so slowly!"

"Your Majesty?" Su Yu saw who was coming, and quickly walked over.

An Hongche was wearing a pear-white narrow-sleeved uniform, a silver-inlaid jade girdle around his waist, and a jade fracture fan in his hand. Standing in the sun, he looked handsome and beautiful.

However, at this hour, shouldn't the emperor just come down to court?What about court clothes?Su Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized, "Your Majesty, why are you dressed like this?"

"Why, it doesn't look good?" His Majesty raised his eyebrows, and a storm was brewing in his eyes. If this stupid slave dared to say a word...

"It's beautiful," Su Yu nodded quickly, "I almost didn't come to my senses after seeing it."

"Hmph!" The emperor's ears turned red quietly, "Guang, in broad daylight, I'm not ashamed to say these words."

Su Yu peeked at His Majesty's ear and blinked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

"Hmph, I'm going to observe the sentiments of the people today," An Hongche snorted coldly, and looked at Su Yu with distaste, "Hurry up and change your clothes, how can you go out of the palace in such a fancy dress?"
