Palace Full of Delicacies

The meat of mackerel is thick and can be made into smoked fish; the meat of ying fish is as hard as beef and can be made into spicy fish shreds, and the fins can be dried into shark fins. As for the fresh and tender wing meat, it is better to make fish balls.

Su Yu counted with his fingers, smoked fish and spicy fish shreds were fine, but fish balls had to be chilled to store, which was a little troublesome, but there is an ice cellar in the palace, so it shouldn't be a problem.Although these methods cannot be preserved for a long time like dried fish, it is still possible to persist until the tenth day of October. If there is any excess, it can be made into fish sauce.

It's just... Looking up at the national teacher, Su Yu suddenly thought of a question, "Uncle Huang, is it still useful to take apart this fish to sacrifice to the heavens?"

The national teacher listened to him quietly for a while, his cold eyes suddenly became darker, staring at Su Yu motionless.

Su Yu was seen as a little guilty. From the perspective of a cook, he was only thinking about the ingredients, but he forgot that saving the country and the people is the top priority. The fact that the sacrifices are made into spicy fish shreds is not serious , coughed dryly, thinking about whether to say something to make it up, but was stunned by the next words of the national teacher.

"It's really a blessing for the country to have a foreign star descend into the world." Qingyue's voice was like a cold spring under the moon, distant and moving, as if singing from ancient times, the national teacher left these meaningful words and turned away, leaving Su Yu alone I was stunned on the spot.

A foreign star came to the world, a foreign star... The national teacher knew that he was a foreign star, and thought he would bring good luck to the country...

Su Yu had been worried for a long time because of the matter of the foreign star. Although the emperor didn't care, he was still worried about what the rest of the royal family thought. After all, the oracle given by the national teacher was vague, and the emperor didn't even know what the national teacher thought about it. clear.Now, the national teacher has personally admitted that he is an auspicious thing, not a disaster star.

Su Yu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. As for whether he could summon the beast as the rumors said... shook his head, and got rid of those unreliable thoughts. It's better to think about how to deal with the fish on the first floor.

According to the national teacher, mackerel and yingyu need to be killed within nine days.Because once these strange fish come into contact with popularity, they will trigger their own nature to bring disasters. For every nine, the possibility of this disaster will increase by one point. Once the number of nines is full, it will inevitably cause a catastrophe .

Above the second floor of Anguo Pagoda, only noble sons of the royal family and Su Yu can go up. It is obviously inappropriate for the emperor or a few princes to help him carry the fish, so Su Yu discussed with the national teacher to change the place to kill the fish.

In the afternoon of that day, the concubines of the West Palace saw Su Yu leading a team of guards, carrying several large boxes covered by black cloth, entering the Yuluan Palace mightily.

Yuluan Palace was the former residence of Concubine Lu, and it was also the largest palace in the West Palace.

"Just think how capable he is, and I can't bear it so soon." The former Concubine De, now De Zhaoyi, stood far away on the palace road, looking at Su Yu's busy figure and sneered.

"If one person dominates, he will inevitably get carried away." Shu Zhaoyi walked over slowly, and looked at De Zhaoyi the same way.

The rest of Zhaoyi and Cai who came to watch the fun were whispering, but they didn't dare to speak out like the two of them.Although the two of them were dismissed as concubines, their titles are still there, and their status is higher than those of Zhaoyi who only have a surname.

"Shall we go talk to the Queen Mother?" Li Zhaoyi suggested cautiously.

"Let's take a look." De Zhaoyi hesitated for a moment, but resisted the urge to file a complaint immediately. Now that there is no Lu's daughter as a shield, they must be cautious in their actions.

The news that Concubine Xian couldn't wait to enter the Yuluan Palace quickly spread in the harem, and the concubines were all waiting for the show.

Su Yu didn't know the truth about it, he chose to come to Yuluan Palace because it was big and remote.

In order to show her uniqueness, Lu Guifei deliberately chose the remote Yuluan Palace when choosing a palace.Yuluan Palace is close to the Imperial Garden, and far away from the other Bixiao Palaces and Yexiao Palaces in the West Palace, so Concubine Lu didn't know about the fish calling in the middle of the night in Yexiao Palace last time.

The sound is not easy to spread, so it is more suitable to slaughter the Yingyu here.

Furthermore, Su Yu took a fancy to the large open space in front of Yuluan Palace.

In Yexiao Palace, there are five steps, one scene, ten steps and one pavilion, and nine winding corridors. All the grounds are fragmented, but the elegant Yuluan Palace is not so complicated. The front yard is a large The open space, without trees and flowers, is the most suitable place for drying fish.

Therefore, the concubine Xian, who was favored and proud, occupied the Yuluan Palace in such an open and aboveboard manner.

The next day, when Su Yu went to Ci'an Palace, De Zhaoyi and Shu Zhaoyi happened to be there.

The two saluted Su Yu politely, Su Yu simply returned the salute, and was attracted by the fur ball holding a big red mouse on the soft couch, unexpectedly His Royal Highness King Zhao was still here.

The day before, the Queen Mother held the little chubby cat and did sewing for a whole day. In order to make it easier for the little chubby cat to grind its teeth, the Queen Mother put some beans in the toy mouse, a layer of cotton and a layer of beans, and the outside was wrapped in bright red satin. Sew two layers thinly.It took a lot of work to do this, and it was getting late by the time the big mouse was done.Relying on the fact that he is a cat, His Highness King Zhao had the cheek to stay with his mother for one night.

"Why is the concubine Xian free? I heard that the emperor didn't go to court today, so the empress doesn't have to make breakfast for the emperor?" Shu Zhaoyi said with a smile.

The queen mother frowned slightly majesticly, "The emperor didn't go to the court?" Eunuch Wang came to ask for leave yesterday, and she knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. The emperor is young, and it's normal to mess around once in a while, but it's just like this every day... Thinking like this He couldn't help but look at Su Yu.

Su Yu coughed in embarrassment, with the conscience of heaven and earth, they didn't do anything last night, so he quickly explained: "The emperor was tired from practicing yesterday, so he got up late today."

Like an ordinary wife, she complained to her mother-in-law about her husband's laziness.These words seemed ordinary, but to the ears of other concubines, it was a show off.Look, you only know that the emperor didn't go to court, and as a favorite concubine, you can sue the emperor in front of the queen of heaven.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was sleeping in Su Yu's arms, was awakened by the sound coming from his chest, he yawned, lazily poked his head out, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

On the soft couch, the little chubby cat hugged a big mouse that was only slightly smaller than itself, and quickly scratched it with its hind paws, then threw the mouse out, and pretended to be vicious, pounced on it, and bit it with one bite.

"Seeing that it is the Full Feast Festival, the Empress Dowager wants the Concubine Xian to preside over the palace banquet this year?" Deyi lowered her head to hide the jealousy in her eyes, then raised her head and smiled gracefully.

"In the past, Concubine Lu was the host, but now Concubine Xian is the host..." Shu Zhaoyi paused, and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "Oh, look at my mouth, why mention Concubine Lu."

The fact that Concubine Xian took her guards to Yuluan Palace yesterday has already spread throughout the harem, and they don't believe that the Empress Dowager doesn't know about it.Moreover, there are several meanings in this statement. One is to say that the concubine is usually in charge, but this year it may be difficult to convince the public to change to a concubine. The other is to mention Concubine Lu, reminding the Empress Dowager not to trust Su like she used to do. reputation, lest there be another arrogant and domineering imperial concubine.

Su Yu couldn't understand the twists and turns. One didn't pay attention, and the uncle cat in his arms suddenly kicked his legs and jumped down. Su Yu raised his hand to catch it, but the golden kitten landed steadily, striding forward. He rushed onto the empress dowager's soft couch.

Shu Zhaoyi, who was talking happily, was taken aback, and the words got stuck in her throat when she was speaking halfway.

His Royal Highness King Zhao was biting the mouse, the hair on his back suddenly stood up, a shadow fell from the sky, and before he could escape, he was bitten by the neck.

His Majesty the Emperor hugged his furry younger brother, quickly scratched it with his hind paws, then suddenly let him go, jumped away from him, and then rushed forward, biting his younger brother's ear fiercely.

"Don't fight." The queen mother, who was still listening to Shu Zhaoyi's speech, suddenly shifted her gaze and raised her hand to try to separate the two kittens.

"Meow!" His Royal Highness Zhao Wang let go of the big mouse in his hand, turned over and scratched his brother.

The clinker golden kitten also let go of his ears the moment he let go of the mouse, ran over quickly, grabbed the big red mouse and ran aside, flicking its tail triumphantly.

Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, not daring to look at the Empress Dowager's expression.

The queen mother was amused, and while the golden kitten was staring at her younger brother, she quickly touched the golden hairy head.

The hair on His Majesty's tail exploded immediately, he dropped the mouse in his mouth, raised his paw and slapped the queen mother's hand away, glaring at her dissatisfied, how could he touch his head in front of a stupid slave?

The little chubby cat ran over quickly and snatched back his molar mouse.

The prepared remarks of the two Zhaoyis were interrupted by this sudden cat fight.The queen mother seemed to have forgotten what Shu Zhaoyi said earlier, and showed Su Yu the process of the palace banquet in front of all the concubines.

"The palace banquet is full of female relatives, and you are the only man." The queen mother took a sip of tea, "Aijia means to invite an opera troupe. What kind of opera do you think would be good?"

The concubines looked at the thin booklet with jealousy. Now there is no prince. If the son of the prince is established as the prince first, the position of empress is the emperor's final decision. Originally, the queen mother was expected to consider Su Yu's children for the sake of her children. Arrogance, but what about now?Judging from what the Empress Dowager meant, she was clearly teaching Su Yu how to control the Six Palaces!

Before the concubines could finish their jealousy, Su Yu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid this palace banquet minister will not be able to go, the national teacher asked the minister to go to the Anguo Pagoda that day."

"What?" De Zhaoyi exclaimed uncontrollably. Seeing everyone looking at her in unison, she quickly stood up and confessed, but her heart was full of turmoil.

On the tenth day of the tenth month of October, that was the day when noble sons offered sacrifices to heaven, only the noble sons of the royal family could climb the pagoda, Su Yu was just a male concubine, yet he wanted to go!This kind of honor is no longer just about showing off in the harem, it is unique in the entire Da'an!

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, "Since that's the case, you don't have to worry about the palace banquet." The country's major affairs are the most important, and the palace banquet on the Manxiang Festival is just to entertain the clan women, so it doesn't matter if Su Yu doesn't go.Immediately, De Zhaoyi and Shu Zhaoyi were ordered to come and help each day, and they were responsible for the palace banquet.

Originally, the long speech they prepared today was to separate out the matter of the palace banquet. Don't underestimate a palace banquet. As long as it is done properly, it will leave a good impression on the hearts of the princesses and queen mothers, and they are expected to be promoted by the end of the year. They have the right to adopt the prince's son when the status is promoted... But now, they got this job without much effort, but the two of them couldn't be happier.

The concubines can climb the pagoda to worship the sky, they are just cooking a palace banquet, there is no comparison at all.

"The virtuous concubine is really blessed to be able to ascend the pagoda to worship the sky," Shu Zhaoyi smiled reluctantly, "Why don't the empress dowager take advantage of the Manchu festival to promote the virtuous concubine's status, so that she can enter the Yuluan Palace."

The queen mother separated the two little furballs that were fighting together again, and smoothed the messy hair on the top of the little chubby cat's head that was gnawed by the elder brother, "You should not worry about the position."

One sentence is like ice water poured on Shu Zhaoyi's head, how can I forget, they are just little Zhaoyi now, so they are not qualified to mention these things.

"If you have nothing to do, why don't you go and help Concubine Xian." The queen mother smoothed the little fat cat and threw him to the emperor. Knead mess.

Su Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the words. After he finished killing the fish, he would start to marinate the fish shreds and dry the fish fins. The fish fins are too thin, and they are easy to be blown away when placed on the ground to dry. It is best to wear them with thread Thinking about it, it would be best to have a concubine who knows how to sew to help.

It never occurred to Shu Zhaoyi and De Zhaoyi that the queen mother just said something polite to Su Yu, but this person actually took it seriously, and within a few days, he actually asked them to go to Yuluan Palace to help put on fish fins!

Putting down the matter of organizing the palace banquet, in the next few days, Su Yu concentrated on killing fish in Yuluan Palace.

Wearing the wristband given by the national teacher, Su Yu is already very proficient in using internal strength, and he can cook a mackerel in two or three strokes.It's just that such a huge number really consumes internal energy, and in less than half an hour, the internal energy in the wrist guard is exhausted.

Looking left and right, His Majesty the Emperor was not around, and the national teacher did not come with him at the Anguo Pagoda. Su Yu glanced at Duke Lu who was busy beating Yingyu, "Brother Gao, can you do me a favor?"

Gao Peng came over with a stick in his hand, "What is your order?"

Su Yu coughed lightly, "Have you ever practiced inner strength?"

"I've practiced it before." Duke Lu didn't know why, so he answered truthfully.

"Just practice it." Su Yu smiled and took off the wristband in his hand and handed it to Gao Peng, asking him to recharge his inner strength. He thought it would be convenient, as long as there is a guard with inner strength by his side, he can "recharge his energy" at any time ".

The idea is good, but the reality is not always satisfactory.

The prince of Lu Guogong looked at the wrist guard in his hand, and then at Su Yu. He had never heard of a treasure that could store internal energy, let alone that internal energy could be lent to others.Although he was skeptical, he had to obey the order of the empress. Gao Peng squeezed the wrist guard honestly, and carefully transported the inner strength to the palm of his hand, and then passed it to the wrist guard.

Su Yu put on the wristband "charged" by the prince of the Duke of Lu again. The wristband was a little hot from the internal force. Seeing that the prince of the Duke of Lu still had a look of disbelief, he waved his hand and caught a mackerel. Fish, prepare to show him a show.

The internal force is transported in the palm, transported in the palm...

no response...

Facing the expression of "You are kidding me" on the face of Duke Lu, Su Yu coughed lightly in embarrassment.

"I have practiced martial arts for many years, and I have never heard that the internal force can be used by others. As for what the empress said, transmitting the internal force to others through the wrist will not have other effects except shocking the other party." Lu Guogong's son said sternly.

Su Yu blinked, looked at the upright Prince Lu, and suddenly felt that this is the correct world of martial arts, and the so-called inner strength of the royal family may not be the real inner strength at all...

Thinking of this, Su Yu silently handed Duke Lu a mackerel, and asked him to try to force the blood out with internal force.

The prince of the Duke of Lu frowned slightly, picked up the mackerel, and stretched his strength in the palm of his hand, "Snap!" The fish broke into two sections, and looked up at Su Yu with the expression "You are really kidding me".

Su Yu: "..."

Only the inner strength of the royal family can kill fish, and the uncles of the emperor can't be counted on. Su Yu can only go to the emperor, but the price of labor for the emperor is very high... Therefore, the speed of preparing sacrifices is so intentional or unintentional. It slowed down, and it was only at the end of the ninth day that the fish could barely be killed.

The days passed by in the midst of killing fish and cooking, the weather became cooler day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was October, and before the arrival of the Full Feast Festival, King Li, who had been guarding the South China Sea, suddenly brought his family to Beijing.

The prince is different from the county king. The county king is not allowed to enter the capital without calling in the fief, but the prince of Da'an lives very freely. He can enter the capital whenever he wants, and there is no mandatory stipulation on when they will go back.For example, Ling Wang and Su Wang, who have lived in Beijing for a long time and tend to spend the New Year here.

Only a few days after Li Wang's zhezi arrived, he followed suit.His third son is already full moon, and this time he brought his three sons together to let the national teacher do the appraisal.Once the prince's son is judged as the noble son by the national teacher, he will stay in the palace and enjoy the same inheritance rights according to the prince's ranking. Even if he can't be the emperor, he will definitely be the prince in the future.

The identification of the national teacher determines the future and destiny of this child.

Su Yu was very curious about this identification ceremony, "How does the national teacher determine whether a child has the right to inherit?"

His Majesty the Emperor put down the memorial to Li Wang, pulled the stupid slave cushion behind him and hugged him, "Want to know?"

Su Yu nodded vigorously. Everyone said that the national teacher had great supernatural powers, but he had never seen the national teacher cast spells, and he was always curious to death.It is said that every generation of national teachers has never failed to identify noble sons. Every noble son can be recognized by the emperor and all the princes. What kind of supernatural power is needed to see through a child's quality in the next few decades at a glance?

"Then I can do the appraisal." Hearing that Su Yu's praise of the national teacher became more and more bizarre, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Huh? The emperor can do it too?" Su Yu blinked, and couldn't help looking at the emperor with a little more admiration, "How do you see it?"

An Hongche was very pleased with the stupid slave's adoring gaze, he curled his lips and said, "Just see if it's Mao's."

Oh, see if it's Mao's... Mao, Mao's!

Su Yu's reverent gaze froze immediately.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Xiaoyu: With so many princes, which one has the right to inherit?

National Teacher: Mao’s

Xiaoyu: There are so many brothers, which one can be the prince?

Meow Gong: The one with Mao

Xiaoyu: With so many noble sons, which one can be the emperor?

Meow Dad: After the fight, it’s still Mao’s
