Palace Full of Delicacies

King Zhao originally slept in the cat's nest in the side hall. In the cat's nest, there were not only soft cushions, but also a decent layer of mattress and a layer of sheets. The yellow and white fur balls were deeply embedded in the soft bedding. There was also a small quilt covering her body.

He opened his eyes in a daze, unable to react to the situation in front of him. His Royal Highness King Zhao felt cold, and then even the cat and the quilt were picked up, and he was suddenly awakened. When he looked up, he was facing the Queen Mother. With smiling eyes, "Good boy, give me a hug from the queen mother, and go to sleep."

The little chubby cat blinked his eyes, his sleepy head couldn't figure out what his mother brought him here early in the morning, so he simply stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

The Empress Dowager put the little chubby cat on her lap, uncovered the small quilt, and His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, who was about to sleep again, couldn't help shrinking back.

Aunt Lin hurriedly handed over a blanket. The white blanket was covered with black paw prints, making it very warm to the touch.The queen mother wrapped her legs with a blanket, and also covered the little chubby cat on her legs, leaving only the hairy head outside.

"Concubine Xian is not feeling well today, the emperor asked this old slave to take a leave of absence." Eunuch Wang said softly when he saw that the queen mother was busy.

"That's all, let him remember to come tomorrow." The queen mother waved her hand, then retracted her hand into the blanket, and rubbed the warm little chubby cat.

The Queen Mother also didn't use incense, and there was only a faint scent of saponins on her body. His Royal Highness Zhao Wang felt very comfortable smelling her mother's scent, turned over and hugged that hand.

"Hey, my Hongyi is about to grow up too, and she won't be hugged by the queen mother after she gets married." The queen mother touched the warm fur belly of her youngest son, and suddenly felt melancholy.

Aunt Lin came over with a snack, and said with a smile: "My lord is still two years away from reaching the crown, besides, there may be a little prince in a while."

The queen mother used the other hand to comb the hair on the top of the little chubby cat's head. Hearing Aunt Lin mention it, she remembered something, "Is the Wang family about to have a third son?"

"According to the days, it's about the same time." Aunt Lin picked up a booklet and flipped through it, "The pulse from the number in the first month may have already landed."

Prince Li ranked second among the princes, and he was the son of the fifth prince, Prince Zhong. Because he was a noble son with the right to inherit, he also grew up beside the Queen Mother since he was a child, and now guards the South China Sea.The South China Sea is located in a remote place, so the passbook had to be delivered by land, and it was relatively slow to travel through mountains and rivers, so the news came later.

The queen mother nodded slightly, flipping through the account books boredly.Seeing that it will be the tenth day of October, I feel a headache every year at this time.

During the Manxian Festival, some princes guarding the border will bring their family members to Beijing. The noble sons of the royal family will go to the Anguo Pagoda to worship the heaven. These family members and concubines in the palace will also participate in the palace banquet.Last year the palace banquet was hosted by Concubine Lu, although it wasn't very brilliant, she looked decent and didn't make any big mistakes, now that Concubine Lu was demoted from the palace, these matters fell on the Empress Dowager again.

"Except for Su Yu at the palace banquet, the singing and dancing are all women, so let's skip the singing and dancing." The Empress Dowager raised her hand to cross out the singing and dancing.

"If you don't have singing and dancing, you have to gossip all the time, and the queen mother is impatient with them," Aunt Lin hurriedly stopped, "Why don't you invite an opera troupe to sing an opera."

His Royal Highness King Zhao was hungry from sleep, and was too lazy to move, so he hugged the queen mother's finger and gnawed it, but a tooth fell out, and the queen mother's slender finger got stuck in the gap between her teeth, and she couldn't bite it no matter how hard she tried.

"Hungry?" The queen mother looked down at him and saw the fat kitten struggling to gnaw a finger on her. The little fur ball lifted it up and looked at it. His Highness King Zhao yawned, showing his gaping teeth.

The queen mother smiled and rolled her eyes, raised her hand and closed the account book, and decided to wait for Su Yu to come to read it tomorrow, and make a big mouse toy for her son today.

Therefore, the matter of the palace banquet was temporarily put on hold, waiting for Empress Su to deal with it tomorrow.

The busy Su Niangniang was still unable to get up on the dragon bed, her back was so sore that she had to lie on the bed and let the sauce step on her.

His Majesty the Emperor turned into a golden kitten, jumping around Su Yu's waist, but the jumping ability was too strong, and his narrow waist was not enough for him to jump, so he always crossed the boundary and fell on the bed.So, the emperor, who stepped on his back, decided to run longitudinally, from his graceful waist, to the top of Su Yu's head, excitedly scratching the hair on the back of his head, and then ran back, pounced on the soft and round body. place, hook Su Yu's underpants with his claws.

Su Yu turned his head and glanced at Uncle Mao who was still enjoying himself, buried his face in the pillow helplessly, and let him go.I really don't understand the physical strength of the emperor, this kind of thing is obviously done together, why is he as tired as a dead dog, and this uncle can still do a [-]-meter sprint on him?

When His Majesty finally had enough of playing, Su Yu's hair had turned into a chicken coop, and his expensive brocade underpants were covered with threads, but the pain between his waist and thighs was relieved a lot.

Su Yu scratched his messy head, "It's really useful."

The golden kitten squatted on Su Yu's waist, and licked its paws slowly, nonsense, I put my inner strength on all fours and stomped on the back of you, a stupid slave, how could it be useless?

His Majesty the Emperor changed back into a human form, lay down next to Su Yu, stretched his waist, and kicked Su Yu's calf with his toes, "Go to cook when your waist is not sore."

Hearing this, Su Yu immediately fell back on the pillow when he had just stood up, and quietly rubbed his nose against the light yellow soft clothes on the emperor's shoulders, "It's sore again."

"Don't get the snot on my hair." The emperor pushed Su Yu's head away with a finger in disgust.

The hibiscus tent is warm and the sun is rising, and the king will not go to court early from then on.The two of them just spent the whole morning on the dragon bed doing nothing, missing the morning morning and breakfast...

The East China Sea sent a large number of mackerel and winnows. It is said that King Jing figured out a way to catch the winnows himself. He caught one of them accurately, and he almost slaughtered all the winnows in the East China Sea.It's just that sometimes being too capable is not a good thing.

The national teacher looked at the rows of cages in the main hall of the Anguo Pagoda, his beautiful eyes were full of coldness.

"Quack, quack, quack..." One yingyu was already making a lot of noise, and a bunch of yingyu was about to knock off the roof of Anguo Tower!The sacred and quiet holy tower suddenly became Caishikou.

"Shut up!" The national teacher stood in the center of the hall, and his cold voice instantly spread throughout the hall. It was not loud, but it exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderstorm, which shocked people's minds.

"Gah!" Ying Yu's noise stopped abruptly, they instinctively sensed the danger and dared not speak out.

"Don't ask me to hear a sound." The national teacher swept across the guards in the hall lightly. Before, Su Yu could take away one Yingyu, but now there are so many, they can only be placed in the Anguo Tower.

"Observe the order." The commander of the guards, that is, the son of the Duke of Lu, immediately knelt down to accept the order.

So, when Su Yu had lunch with His Majesty the Emperor, took a nap, and came to kill the fish without sore waist or leg pain, he saw Duke Lu holding a wooden club and leading a team of guards in the hall Patrol back and forth during the middle of the day, and once you find any fish that seems to be calling, you will swung down with a stick to slap it unconscious.

The cages of Yingyu were lined up in a single file, and the two teams walked towards each other, one left and one right, and they had come to the end. A Yingyu in the middle of the matter flapped its wings, and seemed to be about to say something, so It was too late to run over like this, Duke Lu used lightness kung fu, flew forward, let go of the wooden stick in the air, and hit the strong fish head with a "boom", Ying Yu fell down in response, and the wooden stick bounced return.

The son of the Duke of Lu took the wooden stick in the air, turned around and landed on the ground, and slowly walked back to the front of the team. When he saw Su Yu coming, he took the lead to salute him silently, and then continued to lead the guards on patrol with a solemn expression.

Su Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, and glanced at the large number of mackerel in the water tank from afar.The mackerel was fierce, so he didn't dare to get close to it, lest he would be bitten on the nose, but today's mackerel seemed to be relatively honest, none of them jumped out of the water, and they all sank to the bottom of the water.

When they reached the second floor, the national teacher took the list of sea monsters sent by King Jing, and said to Su Yu solemnly: "It will be the tenth day of October, and all these fish will be sacrificed."

"All of them?" Su Yu blinked. The sacrifices he has seen so far are only small dried fish in the first room on the fourth floor. Are these strange fish also made into dried fish?These two kinds of fish are delicious only when they are fresh. The meat of mackerel is greasy, and the meat of ying fish is hard, so they are not suitable for dried fish.

The national teacher didn't say much, and took Su Yu to the fourth floor, and slowly pushed open the second stone door.

The second stone room was not as full as the first one. On the Duobao Pavilion made of black stones, there were all sorts of strange... dried fish.

Mackerel, scorpion fish, stingray, scorpion fish, holly fish...

There are only one or two fish of each kind, not many.This stone room is more like a museum, turning all the strange fish in the "Mountain and River Guide" into real objects one by one. Su Yu was dazzled and tried to match these strange specimens with the pictures in the book, thinking about how to eat them along the way.

"In the past, these fish only appeared one or two occasionally, and if they were caught and sacrificed to heaven, the peace of the world could be maintained." The national teacher's gaze stayed on the He Luozhi fish with "one head and ten bodies".

Su Yu walked around the room, looked at the national teacher who seemed a little melancholy, and probably understood the so-called catastrophe.The strange fish that appeared one by one in the past now come in baskets, but these fish will cause disasters, and they are used as sacrifices to the heavens. The gods in the sky cannot eat so many fish at one time, so the problem arises, what to do?"

"Kill those fish as soon as possible." The national teacher looked at Su Yu with cold eyes.

Su Yu scratched his head, those fish are a disaster to the national teacher, but in the eyes of the cook, they are precious ingredients, it is wasteful to make salted fish so simple and crude, thought for a while and said: "Can you not Make dried fish, make something else?"

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

"It must be very hard for the national teacher to solve so many salted fish"

Xiaoyu: With so many sacrifices, how much can one sacrifice to heaven consume?

National teacher: one

Xiaoyu: What about the rest?

National Teacher: (Unfathomable) The person who worships the sky should solve it himself

Xiaoyu: It's really not easy, how much (mana) does it cost?

National Teacher: A big pot

Little fish:  …
