Chapter 138: Don’t be afraid, Emperor
The emperor looked at the shrimp, glanced at the puffing Zhao Su, and picked it up and ate it.
Zhao Su watched him swallow it with her own eyes as she asked, “How was it? Was it good?”
“Not bad. It’s just that the shrimp is a bit smaller.” The emperor said as he chucked a crab leg and handed it over again, “Shell this one as well. I only eat crab meat.”
Yoho, spoiled you na!
But this also shows that the dog emperor is sensible and is already sure that the ingredients she chose are fine!
Zhao Su picked up the crab without saying a word, picking at the crab meat with a silver stick on one side, while twisting her head to look at Yu Qingping, “Miss Yu, did you see that? Not only did the Emperor not say that seafood at this time of the year can’t be made into an imperial meal, but he also said that it tastes alright! The Emperor didn’t even say anything, but let you worry about it, aren’t you in charge of too much?”
Yu Qingping did not expect this either!
Of course she knew that there was nothing that could not be eaten in seafood at this time of the year, especially seafood that was to be made for the imperial meal, there was absolutely no way that it could not be fresh, but clearly she had seen the emperor picking and choosing from the imperial chefs before with her own eyes, and the one sentence that she had often heard in the Qianqing Palace was that he said that the seafood was not fresh enough and he would not eat it!
Therefore, he has changed the side of the unknown number of cooks, and never which one can get such a distinction, not only the ingredients can also will be, and even unapologetic directly to the flavor of the dish stamped!
How could he favor Zhao Su like this?
She turned her head to Empress Dowager Lu, wanting to seek some support, not realizing that by this time, Gao Shu had already served the chopsticks, and Empress Dowager Lu, while they were fighting, had already picked up a shell and ate it seriously!
What’s wrong with them?
Is Zhao Su’s cooking really that good?
Zhao Su to the emperor picked the crab meat, see Yu Qingping tense face, her stomach is not finished, so the hand does not stop, and nimbly picked up a shrimp peeled up, handed to the emperor’s bowl: “Shrimp, although not big enough, but thick meat! Eat more shrimp can maintain blood vessels, relieve neurasthenia, so you eat well, sleep well, the body times great! Recently, the court is so busy, you eat more to have energy!”
Zhao Su against the villain is never soft, unless a look at her can not fight, such as Empress Lu and the emperor.
Yu Qingping was furious enough, but in this case she could not attack, so she could only try to remain calm, pursed lips.
And bare hands holding small lamb chops in the gnawing of Empress Dowager Lu eyes unblinking look over, as the supreme ruler’s own mother, she even in this case also a little want to intervene to control the meaning is not!
From Zhao Su took the shrimp to hand over, the emperor’s face has not looked good, now looking at his bowl is almost piled up half a bowl of shrimp and crab meat, he raised his head: “You’re letting me take it as a meal?”
Wufu also rushed up: “Zhao guard, sea food can not eat more.”
Eat too much ah. Can’t imagine the scene of the emperor covering his stomach ……
“This point which is too much?” Zhao Su said and picked the biggest and fattest crab legs pull out meat: “This pot put a lot of ginger, not afraid of the cold, Your Majesty, do not be afraid, in case of cold, the subordinate turn back to give you boiled ginger soup! Eat bad stomach belongs to the temporary replacement of the courtesan to wait for you until you get well!”
The good man refused to see the loss ah!
The dog emperor tricked her into being bullied by Yu Qingping, of course he has to take some responsibility! How can he not let her lose ah!
The emperor slanted his eyes after hearing this, “Really?”
Zhao Su is of course just saying that, but she can’t back down now, she said: “Naturally, I am serious!”
The emperor picked up the shrimp in the bowl: “That’s fine. If you run away from the battle, then I will take you to ask.”
“……”
She is not just a figure of mouth pleasure? How to take it seriously!
Which side is he on?
Yu Qingping looked at them, a time red eyes like blood.
Zhao Su and the emperor, according to the original is no intersection, she in the emperor’s side as a messenger so long she will not know? And obviously in the Chen female doctor’s medical hall, Zhao Su has not recognized the emperor! So the total amount of time they have known each other is only two months, so why would they be so free and casual?
The emperor was so serious, he rarely smiled in front of his subjects, why did he act like a different person to Zhao Su?
Zhao Su in the end has done what extraordinary feat?
Now such an occasion, she is at home like at home, even with the Empress Dowager at the same table with the Emperor, but also not the slightest bit of constraint, but also with the Emperor to fight the mouth!
The same is the Marquis of the Miss, themselves and her than in the end where is the difference? Just because she can cook a few dishes? Cooking can protect the emperor’s life, can be used for the court?
Obviously they are more useful than Zhao Su, the emperor can not see?
She is not too look down, this time just Ci Ning Palace lunch also passed to this side, she also got up for the Empress Dowager Lu dishes.
Empress Lu blocked her: “You should know the rules of this palace, this palace meals, always like to come by themselves. –Prepare bowls and chopsticks for both Miss Yu and Squire Zhao.” After saying this, she instead also clamped a shrimp, and when the chopsticks were brought over, she put the shrimp into Yu Qingping’s bowl: “His Majesty is not afraid of getting an upset stomach, what are you afraid of? Come on, try Sister Su’s handiwork.”
Yu Qingping is in the embarrassing moment, suddenly get the Empress Dowager Lu this treatment, green and white face will be a little better. Just looking at the shrimp in the bowl, she did not move her chopsticks for a while.
Zhao Su knew that she could not face to eat her own cooking, since it was Empress Dowager Lu clip to her dishes, then she just pretend not to see it. After thanking Empress Dowager Lu for the gift of food, she buried her head and ate.
It was already past her meal time and she was already hungry. In the morning, she still had to be the door god for a few hours, so if she didn’t eat quickly, where would she find the strength to work?
Yu Qingping sat in silence for a moment, peeled the shrimp and ate it.
Eat half of her stopped chewing, not never eat good food, the palace of the imperial food she also ate a lot, but Zhao Su can also have such a hand of cooking, beyond the imagination of people.
Then is it possible that Empress Dowager Lu previously in the Ci Ning Palace and she said the words, “martial arts and women’s red poems and gifts, the same but is the door skills,” is to refer to Zhao Su so with a handful of culinary skills, but also not lose with a good martial arts of her?
Yu Qingping felt humiliated.
The skill that she had invested more than ten years of sweat and tears in practicing was comparable to Zhao Su’s ability to fry a few dishes?
She clutched the toothy chopsticks in her hand and looked across the room, “How many years has Sister Su practiced her cooking skills?”
Zhao Su looked up from her bowl.
Yu Qingping looked at her arm and then said, “You have to learn how to hold a spoon to stir-fry, right? Your arms are so thin, but it doesn’t look like you’ve ever carried a wok.”
Zhao Su’s arms used to be thick, but now that she had changed her body, it would take a long time for them to thicken!
She was still questioning her.
Zhao Su ate a mouthful of crab tofu: “I have a maintenance method that ordinary people can’t learn.”
