Chapter 115: Do you say coincidence?
Zhao Su arrived at the Qianqing Palace, as soon as she entered the door to see the emperor sitting behind the imperial case in deep thought, she first patted a loud ass: “Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!”
The emperor lifted his indifferent face from behind the folders: “Is this itchy?”
Zhao Su looked at him like this, not like he was holding something bad against her, so she straightened her waist: “Where? I’m wishing the Emperor a long life!”
The emperor grunted, leaned back into the back of the chair, looked at her for half a moment and said, “Say you are bold, but when it comes to treating you, you wimp out faster than anyone else. Said you afraid of death it, you and every now and then to die stroking the tiger’s whiskers. You are not jumping a few times will not feel pain, is not it?”
It’s no fun to expose people’s shortcomings to their faces, right?
Zhao Su put down the baggage, convergence color said: “How do you specialize in people’s good intentions as a donkey’s liver and lungs? Don’t all the emperors of the past and present like to have people shouting “long live the emperor”? I am also just following your heart.”
“I only like sincere mountain hollers, like you who looks like you are here to pat the horse’s ass, there is no best.”
“You don’t like me kissing ass?”
Zhao Su said and opened up the bag, then pounded it on one side, “Originally, I even brought a chicken in with the intention of thanking you. In that case wouldn’t I be the only one eating it?”
As she said this her bag had also been opened, and an orb wrapped in yellow soil was revealed. Zhao Su cracked open the outer layer of soil, revealing another layer of lotus leaves, breaking apart the overlapping layers of lotus leaves, the tantalizing aroma of meat that was still warm wafted out.
The family’s small kiln has never stopped burning since it was built. There what chicken ah duck ah goose ah all have, and even roasted a small suckling pig, so this lotus leaf chicken out of not only still hot hot, and remove the fragrance of the lotus leaf and the original flavor of the chicken, but also mixed with the rest of the various kinds of meat fragrance.
She this action down, the emperor’s eyes have been unable to move away, until the inside of the fullness of a large chicken legs also exposed, he raised his eyes: “How can there take the soil cooking meat?”
“Never seen it before, right?” Zhao Su broke off a large chicken leg and stretched it to the tip of his nose: “Smell it, it smells good!”
The emperor lowered his eyes and looked at her, not moving.
At that time, when this chicken came out of the oven and was served on the table, Zhao Han and the rest of them split the two chickens in a whirlwind, Zhao Su did not believe that the Emperor’s determination was that good.
She tore open the chicken leg meat one by one and held it in front of the emperor: ”Why don’t you try it? Maybe the flavor of this horse’s ass is not bad?”
This chicken meat was just about to be shoved directly into the emperor’s mouth, the emperor glanced at her and raised his hand.
“Your Majesty must not!”
Seeing this, Four Happiness hurriedly came up to stop it, glanced at Zhao Su and said, “Although Servant Zhao is a trusted person, but this food was brought in from outside the palace, there are rules in the palace, Emperor, you can’t consume food from outside the palace!”
Zhao Su’s torn open chicken leg stopped in mid-air ……
“Servant Zhao,” Four Happiness said seriously, “How could you forget the rules of this palace? The emperor and the empress dowager’s ingredients, every day need to go through several checks, you brought in the food directly to the emperor, in case you eat a good or bad, this crime you can not afford?”
“But I usually do not also give the emperor cooking?”
“Usually cooking, with all the ingredients in the palace, and before serving on the table of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, there is a verification of the statute, this is not very clear to you?”
Four Happiness said and came to pack the chicken on the table. “Little help you wrap it up, come back and you take it back.”
Zhao Su couldn’t stop it, and watched as the chicken that was brought in to kiss ass was wrapped up just like that.
Suddenly next, the emperor but took over the half of the chicken leg she was holding, looked at it and then slowly and methodically bit into it ……
“Emperor!”
Four Happiness were stunned!
“It’s okay, no bragging.” The Emperor looked like he didn’t even hear him and slowly took a second bite.
Zhao Su also looked stunned, he’s really eating? Not afraid of her poisoning?
“Go to Ci Ning Palace and pass the message, say that I have important matters to discuss with guard Zhao, and will go over to see mother later.”
The emperor did not raise his head, lightly threw out this sentence.
Four Happiness pause for a moment, immediately put the chicken down, said yes, and retreated.
Zhao Su always stared blankly at the emperor, only half a day later did she put the other half of the meat in her hand into her mouth.
After being in the imperial kitchen for so long, she was aware of the situation of not giving the emperor outside food. It was only a momentary forgetfulness that brought this chicken in. So she didn’t have the strength to refute what Four Happiness said, but it was still surprising that the emperor wanted to eat this chicken of hers even though he was risking his life, as opposed to the emperor who couldn’t possibly have a hungry moment, she didn’t think that this chicken was good enough to be eaten to such an extent.
Could it be that he was harboring some ulterior motive?
Thinking of this she glanced across the room, “You summoned me here, is there not something urgent?”
The emperor’s gaze on her eyes stopped for a while: “Your eyes are swollen like this, last night did not stay up all night scolding me, right?”
Zhao Su thumped and hurriedly said, “See what you said! How dare I disrespect His Majesty?” Cursed her will not admit ah!
The emperor did not pursue the question, slowly and methodically finished half a chicken leg, and ruffled his fingers, signaling her to tear a chicken wing down.
Zhao Su even with the chicken breast and tore a strip of wings to him, look at him holding up the chicken wings, looking around, down the road: “In addition to scolding me, there is no think about how to solve this single business?”
Ha! “Isn’t this your business?”
“The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the man, haven’t you learned it?”
“Yes, I have, but it seems strange to put it here!” Zhao Su stretched his waist, “Your Majesty, don’t blame me for being blunt, when you ask us to advise you, you say ‘every man has his own responsibility’, but what about in normal times? I don’t see you giving in to the Flower Moon Club. When there’s nothing else to do, I don’t see you taking the power of the women’s half of the sky into consideration. I’m so important, why don’t you treat me with the same courtesy as your courtiers?”
The Emperor squinted his eyes and looked at her with a calm look, “If I didn’t treat you with courtesy, do you think you would be able to enter the Ministry of Ceremony?”
“……”
This left Zhao Su speechless.
She numbly tore off another chicken leg.
The emperor looked ahead, seemingly eating while musing, “The matter of forming a fleet of ships is in a bit of trouble.”
“What trouble?”
“One is the ship payment, and the other is the labor schedule.”
He didn’t need to say much, Zhao Su could also understand. A fleet of at least ten or so ships, the money is not a small amount. Then there was the fact that shipbuilding was a huge project, and could not be built without a few years. After a pause, she said, “So now the business can’t be talked about?”
“The idea was yours, you come to refine it and give a specific formula.”
The emperor’s elbow supported the table, the words are light, but each word is permeated with a meaning that does not allow her to refuse.
