Palace Full of Delicacies

It was freezing cold, and after a long while of forced confession, the cats and uncles were all hungry, so everyone decided to go to eat first, and then deal with the mermaid after eating.

Unexpectedly, the emperor's uncles and King Zhao came to eat, and Su Yu's cooking was not enough, so he simply brought out hot pot.

In the weather of light snow, there is nothing more comfortable than a family eating hot pot around the stove.

According to Su Yu's request, Feishi made a mandarin duck pot.Pour half of it into seafood broth, and half into red oil chili, and boil it on the charcoal fire, and the aroma will immediately spread in the room.

Shrimp, fish fillets, as well as Su Yu's homemade fish balls, shrimp balls, and crab sticks, rolled in the broth and picked out, are delicious even without seasoning.Su Yu improvised several kinds of dipping sauces, such as sesame sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil sauce, and garlic sauce, which are delicious alone or mixed.

His Royal Highness King Zhao ordered a bowl of each kind of dipping sauce, and tasted them one by one. If any one was delicious, he took a bite and changed it.

"Well, remember to bring dipping sauces with you next time you worship the heavens." King Ling threw a fish ball into his mouth, breathing so hot that he ate fish ball hot pot last time when he worshiped the heavens, because Anguo Tower didn't have any What kind of dipping sauce, just rinse it and eat it directly, and I still think it is delicious. Now that there is a dipping sauce, the delicacy will be even higher.

"It's not good for Jitian to bring this." Su Yu twitched the corners of his mouth. It was not easy for Li Wang to carry a bag of tea last time. How could he bring a pile of hot pot ingredients to the altar?

"Why not?" King Su fed a small mouthful of fish to the eldest son who was squatting by his hand, "The ancestors will be happy when they see the dipping sauce."

"Mi woo!" After swallowing the fish, the kitten echoed.

"You know what we're talking about, so just follow along." Ling Wang nodded the kitten's head.

"Mi?" His Royal Highness the eldest son tilted his head, and opened his mouth to bite off a piece of fish ball on King Ling's chopsticks.

After a noisy lunch, a bunch of cats nestled on the cushions of the Arctic Palace and did not move. Su Yu looked at the snow that was falling more and more outside, "What about the sharks?"

Although the deep sea is also cold, it will never snow. The pool in Bixiao Palace is fresh water, and it will freeze in this weather. If it is not kept properly, it will turn that delicate girl into a frozen fish. It just broke.

The big black and white cat is lying on the soft cushion, squinting its eyes like sleeping but not sleeping, its big black and white striped tail is slowly shaking behind it. The big cat leaned on his elder brother and yawned, completely unable to understand Su Yu's worry.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the bunch of lazy cats on the cushion with distaste, "Send the merman to Anguo Pagoda." The merman had too many thoughts, and he might not be able to ask for a confession alone.

Just as Su Yu was about to nod his head, he thought that His Majesty the Emperor was reliable, but in an instant he was picked up by the Emperor and thrown on the bed, and then he threw himself on the bed, "Your Majesty? Aren't you going to Anguo Pagoda?"

His Majesty the Emperor hugged Nuan Nuan's stupid slave and rubbed against him, then lay on his chest and yawned, "Go after waking up."

Su Yu: "..."

After a group of uncle cats were full of sleep, they slowly took the sharks to the Anguo Tower, and learned that the national teacher was still "participating in the study of astrology" on the sixth floor.

"I just said that 21 must not have woken up yet, so why worry." Ling Wang yawned and lay down on the soft couch by himself.

King Su frowned, and took out the chubby cat and the vest kitten from his arms, "Hongxi, you go up with the big hair and call the emperor down."

"Why should I go Su?" His Royal Highness King Zhao's eyes widened, and he would definitely be beaten if he woke up the uncle.

"Go as soon as I tell you." His Majesty the Emperor patted his younger brother's head.

Threatened by his elder brother and uncles, the little fat cat reluctantly climbed upstairs with the kitten in the vest on his back.

The sixth floor of the Anguo Tower is covered with a thick snow-colored blanket, but it is quite difficult for His Highness King Zhao's short legs to walk.

"Mi!" Climbing unsteadily onto the wide big bed on his uncle's back, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor paced on the soft big bed quite freshly. Every time he took a step, his little paws would sink into a small pit. .

The little chubby cat squatted beside the bed, kicked its ears with its hind paws, looked hesitantly at the sleeping beauty in the middle of the big bed, saw the black and yellow fur ball crawling up the thin quilt without fear of death, and lifted it up. Claw, after all, did not step forward to stop it, but silently covered his eyes.I hope Uncle Huang won't slap his paw away for the sake of this guy being so small.

His Royal Highness the eldest son climbed onto the chest of the national teacher and staggered forward.The cub liked the peaceful aura of the national teacher very much, so he leaned over instinctively, sniffed at the handsome face like a jade carving, stuck out his tongue, and licked at the tip of that handsome nose.

The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the cold and beautiful eyes slowly opened, and the goal was a pair of big amber eyes, looking at him in a daze.

Everyone drank a round of tea on the second floor, and the national teacher finally came downstairs with two kittens in his arms. The kitten in the vest looked excited and kept rubbing his head on the snow-colored skirt, while the little fat cat was listless. The head was held in the hands of the national teacher, obviously it had been repaired.

"Yo, what's wrong with Hongyu again?" His Highness Ling Wang sat up abruptly, and pretentiously stepped forward to take the little fat cat over.

The national teacher looked at him coldly.

King Ling laughed dryly, stood up holding the little chubby cat, and gave the soft couch to the national teacher.

The national teacher was also polite, and leaned on the soft couch with his wide sleeves lightly waved, and the kitten hanging on the skirt of his clothes climbed up to his shoulder and nestled, "What's the matter?"

"King Jing sent a merman." His Majesty the Emperor pointed to the merman who was curled up beside the pillar.

When the merman leaves the water, the tails of the fish turn into legs, and the merman dress is not wet when wet. At this moment, he looks like an ordinary beautiful woman.

The merman girl just heard them say that this is the national teacher, she couldn't help but looked up, she couldn't help being stunned when she saw it, her eyes were picturesque, her temperament was high, her hair was as long as snow, like a banished fairy who had strayed into the mortal world.More importantly, this person has a peaceful aura of auspicious beasts all over his body, making people unable to help but relax their minds and give birth to the urge to worship.

Thinking like this, the merman did just that, she walked forward slowly and bowed down, her excitement was beyond words, "The girl in the sea pays homage to the national teacher." I didn't expect to see an ancient auspicious beast here!It is rumored that Ruishou is kind-hearted and helps the weak and weak. As long as he is appreciated by him, he might be able to rescue him and help him escape from the minions of these ferocious beasts.

His cold eyes swept across the shark, and the national teacher slowly raised his hand, took off the little hair ball in the neck, put it on the soft couch, smoothed the hair, and spoke slowly, his voice was like broken Kunshan jade, extremely sweet, "How do you bring the live fish to the tower? It's not easy to put them in the wet weather, and they should be dried before sending them back."

The merman suddenly raised his head, and looked at the handsome Ruishou lord who was not like a mortal in disbelief.

Su Yu looked at the merman girl with an ugly face, coughed lightly and said, "Uncle Emperor, this merman knows the whereabouts of the late emperor..."

"Really?" The national teacher looked at the trembling merman, leaned over, and supported his chin with one hand, "raise your head."

The merman raised his head and looked at the cold and beautiful eyes of the national teacher.Those eyes are so beautiful, as clear as a clear stream on a snow-capped mountain, one sees them and forgets the vulgarity, just one glance makes people sink unconsciously, inferiority complex and their inner filth, looking up at this no-impurity nobility.

"What's your name?" The voice of the national teacher became distant and near again, ethereal and difficult to catch.

"Haizhu." The merman seemed to be obsessed with looking up at the national teacher, but his eyes were a little lost.

"How did it come here?" The national teacher held down the fur ball that was trying to jump off the soft couch, turned him over, and stretched out his slender fingers to scratch the small chin.

"My family is in charge of trading shark silk and pearls with people on land, and they come to shore every year. This time, they encountered a group of sea monsters near the sea, separated from my family, and were caught ashore by a big fishing net..." The shark confides all his details very submissively.

Su Yu watched this scene in amazement, poked His Majesty the Emperor beside him, and whispered: "The National Teacher is indeed very charming. If you are fascinated, you can say anything."

His Majesty the Emperor glanced at him, "You're so stupid."

"Ah?" Su Yu felt the disdainful eyes of Uncle Mao, "What's wrong?"

"This is mind-confusing technique." King Ling explained kindly.

Su Yu's eyes widened. When he saw the national teacher who knew everything, he thought he was extremely intelligent, but he didn't expect that he was really blessed by divine power!I wanted to ask Uncle Seventeen a few more words, but was dragged over by His Majesty the Emperor.

"Hmph!" This stupid slave didn't come to ask me first when he had a question. His Majesty the Emperor was a little unhappy, and bit Su Yu's neck punishingly.

"Hello!" Su Yu blushed immediately, looked around, and saw that the emperor's uncles were all attentively listening to the merman's narration, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

His Majesty the Emperor refused to let go, embraced him from behind, and whispered in his ear the divine power of the Imperial Teacher.

The eyes and voice of the national teacher contain divine power, which can soothe people's hearts and control the mind. In the past, Su Yu guessed that the national teacher could read minds, but it was not wrong.

Yuren was controlled by the national teacher, and he made it clear about his origin.

Shark silk is precious, although people know that it is woven by sharks in the deep sea, but somehow it was sold to the shore, but now they understand.This merman named Haizhu, and her family, are responsible for communicating with the outside world among the mermen. Every year, they bring merman silk and pearls, disguised as merchants, and come to the East China Sea to sell them in exchange for some items on the shore.

When I went ashore this year, I happened to meet King Jing who was struggling to fish in the shallow sea.The sea monster caused the sharks to scatter, and Haizhu's father was bitten by a mackerel, fearing that it would attract more bloodthirsty monster fish, the sharks left in a hurry, and the unlucky Haizhu crashed into King Jing's fishing net .

King Jing watched around the merman for a long while, no matter how much she coaxed her into a smile, she was unmoved, and finally with a big wave of his hand, he decided to dedicate her to the emperor, which happened to save this year's tribute.

"The island is near the ethnic group, it's very dangerous there." Shark couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned the place where the first emperor was.

"Is there a way to go?" The national teacher took a sip of tea.

"You can swim there." The shark said honestly, although it is very far from the coast to the island, and there are many hidden reefs, dangerous shoals, and sea monsters at the bottom of the sea, as long as you swim slowly in shallow water, you will be fine.

"Nonsense." The national teacher put the cup on the table and looked away.

The shark suddenly came back to his senses, and was stunned for a moment before realizing what he had just said, and his expression changed drastically.Just now, because the person in front of him is too good-looking, he told all the secrets of the clan!The shark girl who couldn't accept this fact rolled her eyes and passed out.

Su Yu looked at the merman on the ground with lingering fear, and suddenly thought that when he didn't sign the blood contract, the national teacher seemed to have seen him like this. At that time, he was just stunned besides thinking that the national teacher's eyes were so beautiful.

"A person with a pure mind is not easily lost." King Su said seriously.

Su Yu blinked, is this a compliment to his purity of heart?

"Pure mind is heartless," His Royal Highness Ling said with a smile, "21 also said that about me."

Su Yu looked at Ling Wang's expression of "we are the same kind", and twitched the corners of his mouth. He didn't want to be the same kind as Uncle Seventeen at all, really.

The national teacher sat up and threw the fur ball on the couch to the little chubby cat who was squatting on the small table and stealing fish shreds, "This shark will stay here. There is a pool in the seventh room on the fourth floor."

"That's right, it's easy to freeze if you put it in Bixiao Palace." King Ling squeezed and chewed the fish shreds, and found that the national teacher was watching him, and then realized that his brother asked him to carry the shark to the fourth floor. "21, do you call your brother like this?"

The national teacher looked at him without saying a word.

A moment later, His Royal Highness King Ling resigned to his fate, picked up the unconscious shark, and climbed upstairs.

"What are you going to do?" The national teacher raised his eyes to An Hongche.

"That place is far away, I'm afraid ordinary boats won't be able to reach it," His Majesty the Emperor frowned, "I want King Jing to come back and discuss."

The national teacher nodded slightly, thinking of those brothers who were still alive, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "It is not suitable to go to sea in winter, we will go in spring."

Far away, on an isolated island.

"Ah Choo!" The late Emperor, no, should be called Taishanghuang now, and suddenly sneezed, "Why do you feel cold all of a sudden?"

"Sleep below when it's cold!" shouted the big golden cat that was pressed down below.

"Hmph, someone must be thinking about me," the Supreme Emperor snorted, and slapped his dishonest brother's paw, "Old Jiu, go get some more firewood."

Back at the Arctic Palace, His Majesty the Emperor immediately issued an order to summon King Jing to the capital, and then unfolded a sea chart and remained silent.

"Your Majesty, do you want to tell the Empress Dowager that the late Emperor is still alive?" It was getting late, and Su Yu was about to send the eldest son of the Emperor to Ci'an Palace.

"Don't talk about it yet." An Hongche shook his head, the matter has not yet been settled, not to mention that it was a year ago that the Merman saw the golden cat, so nothing might happen during this time, the mother finally accepted the news of his father's death , if you let her rejoice in vain, it is better not to give her hope.

During the Chinese New Year, the princes were supposed to return to Beijing for a reunion, but now that King Jing received the edict, he had to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.

"Thanks to Ruixue, there are fewer and fewer sea monsters. I only need a heavy snowfall before I can enter the capital..." King Jing's reply came very quickly, stating that as long as there is heavy snowfall, he will be able to enter the capital.

"Why is this?" Su Yu didn't understand why, so what does the sea monster have to do with snow?

"Xue Naixiangrui, Da'an's snow has the blessing of the national teacher and the divine power of Bai Ze, which can deter sea monsters and let them live in peace for a while." His Majesty the Emperor looked up at the light gray sky. The heavy snow is approaching, and that guy is about to come up.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Merman A: Ancient beasts, please accept our kneeling!

Merman B: Ancient auspicious beasts, please bless us!

Merman C: The only remaining god in the world, please guide us!

National Teacher: Don't wet the carpet of this seat, let it dry before coming back

So he followed the guidance of the auspicious beast, and the mermaid tribe died.
