Chapter 4 Jagged Woman!
Speaking a bowl of spicy hot has gone a small half, Empress Dowager Lu picked up a doughnut in her left hand, tore off a small section buried in the soup, may in the end or after thirty years, the action still fell some rusty, a little bit of spicy hot pot in the hall diners should have the bold, but the desire to eat makes all this still looks like a flow of clouds and water.
Eating she suddenly raised her head from the sea bowl, looking around, a layer of faint confusion condensed between her eyebrows.
Tan Xiaozhen went up: “What are you looking for?”
Empress Dowager Lu gazed at her brows in contemplation, “I always feel that there is something missing.”
Tan Xiaozhen paused slightly, “Beer?”
“Right!”
Empress Dowager Lu high-fived.
Although the spicy hot pot is delicious, but the taste is heavy, without something to drink it’s too colorful.
Tan Xiaozhen turned nimbly and brought over a large glass of drink from a tray resting on a corner cabinet.
“It’s a short while, and beer is really out of the question. This is winter melon juice, I take the raw winter melon crushed out, mixed with a little honey, and added a little mint, the flavor is okay, usually I eat hot pot ah, spicy crawfish ah, finished all by hand to squeeze two cups to quench their thirst. You try.”
The winter melon juice was served in a glass cup with a little green color, and there was a fresh and fat mint shoot hanging from the mouth of the cup, as lovely as spring.
Empress Lu took it and sniffed it, first tasting a small mouthful, then having a second, third, fourth, and fifth mouthful.
Tan Xiaozhen looked at her undistracted and relaxed, and really couldn’t say against her will that she hadn’t been served well, so she carefully picked up the topic of begging for her life again, “Empress Dowager, do you think this performance of mine is okay?”
Empress Dowager Lu dipped her doughnuts in spicy soup, as if she hadn’t heard.
Tan Xiaozhen slightly bold: “You see this matter …… today You also know that we cross the people are unfamiliar with the land, making a living is difficult, like my intelligence, but also can not flutter out of the waves, or, you let me off the hook?”
Empress Dowager Lu finished eating this mouthful of fritters dipped in soup, and then ate a mouthful of shredded bamboo shoots in chicken oil on her plate.
“It’s fine to spare your death sentence, but I’m the founding empress of Da Liang, and now I’ve been honored with the empress dowager’s throne, so if there’s no punishment at all, even if I let you off the hook, those who embrace me won’t let you off the hook.”
Tan Xiaozhen had spent two years in the workplace, and had at least been rubbed out a little bit of worldly experience by her superior’s ruthlessness. Knowing that when a superior had such a repetitive and uncertain attitude, it often contained other deep meanings. After she thought about it, she said, “If Empress Dowager has a dispatch, please be direct.”
Empress Dowager Lu drank a mouthful of winter melon juice, admiring the mint buds, and on the other side of the cup her look was serious as an interviewer, “Which school did you graduate from?”
“……Z University.”
She aimed over, “No wonder you can only do sales.”
Well, Tan Xiaozhen just as did not hear.
Mrs. Lu continued, “Those with a master’s degree from Q University like me just don’t usually do this.”
Tan Xiaozhen coughed.
Q University is the country’s top academic institutions, out of many senior scientific research talents and political leaders, her Lu Empress Dowager predecessor is a multinational company’s team director, and now has become a dynasty of female politicians, it is not surprising.
“How old is it?” Empress Dowager Lu ate the cabbage and asked again, “What’s the name?”
“…… Twenty four. Surname Tan, Tan Xiaozhen.”
“Where do you work?”
“Food company.”
“Really no future.”
Tan Xiaozhen was struck out of temper: “This is not just can’t get on with it, through to mix with your old man!”
I know you’re a great guy, right?
Of course, she only dared to spit in her heart, people’s strength is there, the business ability is really strong, in modern times, in front of this kind of workplace in front of the strong woman, this kind of rookie should be even a little bit of her eyes can not get.
Empress Dowager Lu said, “You just said that you want to be loyal to me, I don’t know in what kind of situation this sentence applies?”
“Naturally, in all circumstances, unconditional allegiance to Empress Dowager!”
The king is the principle of his subjects, how can there be a choice?
The last of the seaweed was finished, and Empress Dowager Lu put her chopsticks down and wiped her mouth with an idle expression.
Then she cast a pair of gazes at Tan Xiaozhen, shining like a fox that had just finished stealing two chickens, “Although you’re a bit wasted, at least your hands and feet are sharp. So it’s fine to let you go, but you just have to do something for me.”
“You say!”
Empress Lu narrowed her eyes and looked out the window, “You came too suddenly, you are still completely ignorant of this era, there are some things that I can’t tell you even if I want to, for a while.
“Besides, I’m too lazy to bother with words.
“It’s getting late. You go back first to acclimatize and adapt, and come back to the palace at this time tomorrow, and I’ll explain it to you.”
As soon as she sells the story, Tan Xiaozhen’s heart is not solid: “Why don’t you labor and tell me first, so I can be mentally prepared?”
“No need to prepare.” Empress Dowager Lu scrutinized the last mouthful of winter melon juice in the cup, “After you go back, you will definitely have something to see and hear, and then it can also be considered as one of the contents of the things I let you do.
“At that time when the matter is accomplished, this palace will spare you. If I’m not satisfied, then even if I don’t chop you up, there will still be an argument.”
“…… Like what?”
Empress Lu glanced at her, “For example, finding a place to lock you up, or decreeing that you go to a temple to become a nun or something. Anyway, if you can’t be used for me, then I’m bound to not make you a hidden danger to me either.”
Tan Xiaozhen shuddered in place!
Is this fucking speaking human words ……
She had just worked so hard to make her food and drink, and then she threatened to eat it up and turn her face away?
I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that!
I’m not afraid that she’ll rise up and become the king against all odds.
But based on their own really can not squeeze this strength, this ideal can be postponed to discuss.
As for the present – Lu Ling in the original text admittedly has part of the foodie persona, but her most important feature is an ambitious heroine, a champion of power struggles who has to pull out the hair of the wild goose, encountering an unlucky self who has crashed into the heart of the hand, it would not be reasonable for her not to make the best use of it.
She also said something about going back to the palace tomorrow to assign tasks, Tan Xiaozhen thinks that even she herself has not thought about how to use her, right?
–Just that, what other use could she have for herself?
In addition to having more God’s perspective than Empress Lu, she knows a little bit about the characters in the book, and then she can do stuttering, but the rest is nothing. I think with her landlord class land gentry head of the virtues of Empress Lu, tomorrow can only be forced to force her to work as a cow in the palace, to provide a little information on the one hand, and in the meantime to give her tea and food.
Pass the minister’s daughter into the palace to make the call, this kind of thing is not uncommon, the beautiful name is still grace, with the Prince’s companion, the general people still do not have this face, in fact, who would like to be low, with others behind the ass turn?
People under the roof, had to bow their heads, or else work for the landlord is also considered a way of life.
