Chapter 14: Must make the Mary Sue heroine suffer a defeat

Is she preparing pots or being considerate of herself?

Besides, who cares where she’s from?

Yesterday, after listening to Yun Qianyi said the allusion to the Flower Moon Club, Zhao Su to the Empress Dowager Lu originally held a few points of respect, think for this kind of practical as the crossing of the predecessor should hold an attitude of respect, in order to show the good quality of the younger generation, who knows a come to be so speechless by her!

But there is no turning back, the pot has been taken up, can it still be put down?

Zhao Su carries the pot out of the hall door, behind him comes the eunuch’s notification, “Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor is here.”

Again!

This time Zhao Su can not dare to store the mind of peeping, now the mother and son of the two opposing sides, and Qing Yun Hou also stood on the side of the emperor, if the emperor saw her standing here with a pot, I’m afraid to say that, when the Qing Yun Hou by the emperor’s suspicion of the two sides of the knife on the tragedy. The book said that accompanied by the king as accompanied by a tiger, since ancient times the emperor are suspicious, beware of a little right.

Besides, this mother and son under the eyes of the Shi En matter is fighting, in order to avoid the spillover of this fish, she had better have as far as possible to get as far as possible.

There were many fresh meats and vegetables in the kitchen.

Zhao Su picked a side of fat mutton, a pair of tripe, a goose, plus some fruits and vegetables, almost the usual hot pot those side dishes.

Yesterday, a bowl of spicy hot pot was eaten cleanly, let Zhao Su sharp grasp of Empress Dowager Lu’s tastes, but also let her deeply understand, what chef, what delicacies, does not matter! Do people lack cooks who can cook? No. What she lacks is the taste of her hometown, is the taste of authentic after that sentiment!

She just need to follow the latter days of the popular street restaurant, play the normal level on the line.

In these decades, Empress Dowager Lu should not have tried to make modern cuisine, the kitchen is basically complete with seasonings and ingredients, but the cooks have never seen the look of the dishes of several hundred years later, so there is always something that does not scratch the itch on her.

Zhao Su to the pot under the lard, and then grabbed a good wash of dried chili peppers into the pot of water to cook, water into the small stone mill grinding into chili pepper paste.

Yesterday to watch Zhao Su do spicy hot pot those palace people this day early to guard the side, even more than yesterday, some people. Zhao Su just let them help with the work. While cooking the soup base she also sliced the fat lamb into fly-thin slices. There were already cooks cooking next to her, and when they saw her using a knife, they couldn’t help but give her frequent sideways glances.

After a while the soup base was ready, and was first put into tile jars for easy transportation. Then the small charcoal stove is also ready, take it back to Ci Ning Palace.

Someone in the palace spoke.

“Zhao Ke is clearly the Vice Governor of the Central Military Governor’s Office, in charge of military affairs, how could he meddle in matters that should be under the jurisdiction of the Da Lisi?”

This was Empress Dowager Lu.

“Empress Mother knows full well that this silver that Shi En embezzled was originally related to the military pay allocated to Shanxi by the Ministry of War. Marquis Qingyun, as the deputy governor of the Central Military Governor’s Office, he also has the responsibility to clear it.”

This voice was a bit familiar, it was the emperor without a doubt. Not to mention, upon further listening, the voice was still quite nice.

Mother and son were talking about business, Zhao Su stepped back a bit, put the soup can down, and sat down on the stone steps.

“Ten years ago, your father and I once rewarded Shi En a thousand acres of land of the manor, he is just starting out with the country, is using the money and did not want, ten years later, now, how he suddenly greedy money? Could it be that a man’s character can suddenly change?”

“Whether Shi En’s endowment has changed or not, my son does not dare to be certain, but the evidence of his offense is overwhelming, and my son has no reason to let him go.”

The sound of cups and marigolds came from the room, and then Empress Dowager Lu said, “Shi En is the first scholar of Da Liang, and he has never made any mistakes in the Ministry of Ceremonies over the years, and he is considered to be doing his duty. Even if there is evidence, there are many unreasonable things, you should also think more carefully. In short, Shi En himself does not confess, no one is not allowed to kill him.”

“Mother–”

The emperor’s tone already sounded a bit emotional. Zhao Su was a little nervous, these two mothers shouldn’t get into a fight, right?

But Empress Lu was speechless.

And the Emperor said, “Empress Mother, didn’t you say that when the kingdom was passed on to the son, it would be up to the son to make the decisions?”

“Didn’t say it’s not up to you to make the decision, but Shi En this is obviously problematic, I want you to be a bright ruler, not just an emperor. Go back when you’re done talking, I’m about to start dinner.”

Silence fell in the room.

A few moments later there was a rustling of clothes.

Zhao Su immediately stood up straight.

A man in imperial robes walked off in the other direction opposite to Zhao Su without a glance, and Zhao Su was a bit out of his element this time, seeing the back of one of his heads with his hair combed meticulously!

Zhao Su glanced at the hall and walked in, carrying the tiles.

Empress Dowager Lu was sitting diagonally on the Luohan bed, seemingly thinking about something.

Zhao Su called out “Empress Dowager”, she raised her head and saw the tile pot and charcoal stove in her hand, “Coming?”

After saying that, she got up and walked down to the room with the round table and sat down.

Zhao Su put the charcoal stove on the table, and the copper basin already covered with ginger and garlic was set up, first lighting the charcoal, then pouring the soup base from the tile jar in.

The soup was already rolling, lard covered the temperature, charcoal fire together, soon nuisance heating up, spicy aroma floating up.

At this time, the meat and vegetables that the palace people had kindly helped to deliver also arrived, Zhao Su set them on the table one by one, and the oil dish was also mixed for Empress Dowager Lu and placed in front of her.

Empress Dowager Lu first inhaled, and then skillfully picked up a piece of mutton and threw it into the pot, the mutton was extremely tender and thinly sliced, once it met the hot soup, it instantly rolled up.

Empress Dowager Lu picked it up and put it into the oil dish and rolled it, sent it into her mouth, slightly gazing at it, and before she ate it, her eyes were already looking at the rest of the raw meat.

Zhao Su rolled up her sleeves, holding a pair of foot-long tooth chopsticks, shabu-shabu for her.

Empress Dowager Lu said, “Sit.”

“Huh?”

It was unprecedented!

Empress Dowager Lu looked up, “You’re not hungry?”

I’m hungry! How can I not be hungry?

This year’s ingredients are all natural, but even the Marquis of Qingyun’s family, the cook made things are also very simple and tasteless, she didn’t eat much for breakfast, and now it’s already noon, can not be hungry!

But with Empress Dowager Lu’s domineering and treacherous nature, actually letting her sit down and eat together, her motives were suspicious!

She’d better be careful. “It is an honor for the late generation to serve the Empress Dowager with her meal.”

Empress Dowager Lu glanced at her and waved her hand at her again.

All right.

In any case, she couldn’t escape her five-finger mountain, Zhao Su also thought about it and sat down at her lower head.

Then look at her face, still cold and indifferent, just talked to the emperor broke up, right?

Aunt Ning’s news is really right, the two women for a Shi En are having a disagreement, and the reason why Marquis of Qingyun chose to publicly support the emperor to severely punish Shi En, turned out to be because Shi En coveted money is the military pay!

This is not a bad thing, which dynasty and which generation can not let go of this kind of thing is not? The Great Heroine’s desire for control is also too serious.

After this information that the emperor had just spilled out, Zhao Su was even more certain that what Empress Dowager Lu had explained to her must have something to do with Marquis Qingyun’s stand.

Ha, she was going to make the Mary Sue heroine eat her words today and never let her have her way!
