Chapter 78 Happy Cold Palace Life

After the dust settled, a dossier that was organized by the female officer of Ci Ning Palace was also handed over to Empress Dowager Lu.

Empress Dowager Lu took it in the open Xuan sat in the whole of the next morning.

Until the sun dusk western slant she only got up: “the outside world on the emperor how to comment?”

“The outside world is commenting on the Emperor’s benevolence. With the case than how Sheng and Zheng Fu are the late emperor’s men, and Shi En is also the mother’s people, according to the crime will be their sentence is not too much. But the emperor is still remembering the old love, exempted them from the penalty. So then the imperial decree said that if there were any more similar cases, they would all be dealt with severely, and everyone still thought it was the style of a benevolent ruler.”

Empress Lu clasped the dossier in her lap. “Have Shi En and the others been sentenced yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Where are the people?”

“Shi En is still in prison, and Mrs. Shi has taken up residence at the post house.”

Empress Shi silenced for a moment, “The fact of Shi En’s embezzlement exists, and the case has also pulled down a Minister of the Household and a royal inspector of the Metropolitan Inspectorate; I cannot see Yun Cui at this time.

“There is a whip on the table in the temple, you send it to her. Tell her that it is right that she should be punished ten times for her offense. Also, take another two hundred taels of silver and take it to her, so she can settle down in the capital first.”

“Yes.”

After the female officer left, Empress Dowager Lu sat for a while longer, saw the palace maid bring over the snacks, and with a frown, she got up and said, “Go to Changle Palace.”

Zhao Su was in Changle Palace for the past few days, the news was completely closed. The only thing that had changed was that in the middle of the day Ci Ning Palace had sent people over to deliver rice and boil water, and the food was not bad, it was all the palace’s imperial standard, and there were snacks and fruits in between the two meals, except that they ran off after the work was done, and didn’t stay for a while longer.

Of course, under her repeated requests, Empress Dowager Lu still let people send some paper and pen over. These past few days she was reflecting on this matter of Shi En-exactly this matter of the Flower Moon Society.

Although she didn’t regret having the evidence taken away by the Emperor, someone still had to be responsible for the Flower Moon Society. In the end to find who on top of it, also do not know the empress dowager’s heart is not accurate?

Eighty percent is not, otherwise she would not need to protect Shi En so desperately.

In that case, then this seat can only be made by the emperor. In terms of the emperor’s doggy nature, the future development is indeed a bit worrying ah.

Zhao Su deeply felt that she had gotten Empress Dowager Lu into big trouble – no, she had gotten herself into big trouble, Empress Dowager Lu, as the Empress Dowager, had already climbed to the highest position through her own efforts, and if there were no accidents, she would not encounter bullying and discrimination in her life, but it was not the same with herself, as she was still struggling with the line of autonomy. In case Empress Lu Taifang gave up this ideal in a fit of anger ……

She felt that she had to please Empress Dowager Lu. So pondering the moment of the event, she organized her recipes and then wrote out a few new dishes that she already had mature ideas in her mind during this period of time.

When Empress Lu stepped through the palace gates, she looked up to see Zhao Su carrying a pen, walking around the room as if she was chanting.

She walked over to the window, “After a few days of confinement, could it be that you’re still holding back a few poetic moments?”

Zhao Su gave a start, then instantly put down her pen and walked out, “Empress Dowager!”

Empress Dowager Lu glanced at her and walked into the house with her head held high.

Looking around, probably feeling still satisfied, she sat down on a stool.

“What brings you here, Empress Dowager?”

Zhao Su handed her a fan, the weather was getting hot during the days she was locked up. In the process of handing the fan, she took a few more glances at Empress Dowager Lu: “Why do you look as if you’ve lightened up compared to the last few days? Have you not slept well recently?”

Hearing this, Gao Shu beside her pursed her mouth after glancing at Empress Dowager Lu. Ever since she ate the meals made by Zhao Su, the Empress Dowager now has no appetite for anything, how did she lose weight, isn’t it obvious?

Empress Dowager Lu, however, just responded indifferently, “Not resourceful in doing things, but a pair of eyes is flexible.”

“You are my boss, it is normal for me to care about you!”

“What else can you do besides kissing ass?”

“I can cook!”

Zhao Su said and pushed a thick set of written recipes in front of her, “You see, although I can’t achieve great things, I haven’t given up on my studies these days. This is the recipes I spent a few days organizing, all of them are the dishes I know how to make, not only that, I also came up with a few new dishes, take a look and see if you’re interested!”

Empress Dowager Lu’s eyes descended, only to see that this booklet was as thick as a finger, of course, it was also related to the fact that the paper at this time was relatively rough and thick, with several recipes written on each page.

She flipped the booklet open and couldn’t stop flipping.

Zhao Su went up to her, “Empress Dowager?”

Empress Dowager Lu was not disturbed and continued to flip down the page.

Zhao Su added, “Empress Dowager? Mr. Lu?”

Empress Dowager Lu finished reading the page on her hand before raising her head, “What the hell is written here?”

“I don’t know how to write with a brush, it’s not like you don’t know.”

Empress Lu handed the recipe to Gao Shu. “It seems like being grounded and reflecting is still somewhat useful.”

Zhao Su hit the snake: “Would the Empress Dowager like to eat something?”

Empress Dowager Lu gave her a sidelong glance, “Less ghost ideas, I can’t let you go yet.”

So soon was read through the mind, quite boring. Zhao Su thought about the second half of her sentence, and immediately came back to the spirit: for the time being, she can’t let her go, which means that she will indeed let her go?

Although she knew that she would definitely be able to get out of the city, her heart became more confident with her words.

She said, “It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry, I’m not worried about food or clothing, where to stay is not stay ah?”

She just crossed over to her heart is always a little bit uneasy, because before crossing the need to work to make ends meet, there is nothing to do at hand, let a person panic. But so many days over she also adapted, now she is not facing the problem of making ends meet, but how to live a more comfortable problem.

Empress Lu heard this but it was like she was stabbed, “How do I feel that putting you here is instead letting you enjoy your happiness?”

“How can …… it be?”

“It’s better this way,” Empress Dowager Lu pointed out the window, “This Changle Palace is very big, Gao Shu, have someone make a whole small stove out in the west, and have Servant Zhao cook here.”

After saying this, she glanced at Zhao Su, “Building the stove will be done in the middle of the day, do a good job, maybe this is still a long lasting battle.”

Gao Shu looked at Zhao Su after receiving the decree before retreating.

“A long-lasting war?”

What does that mean?

You’re in jail and you still have to manage production? There are still no human rights?

Empress Dowager Lu stood up and pulled out a menu from her sleeve and handed it to her, “Anyway, you’re idle, this innovative dish program is out, so I’ll provide you with a condition to practice and feel it out. This Palace’s lunch tomorrow, depends on you! This list of varieties, you do all the way. After all of them are done, then do the one you wrote to me.”
