Chapter 48 The Emperor's Reward
Thinking of this, the ancient emperors lived a worse life than her former boss. Although they could not dominate the world, they were the best people who could eat their mouths.
It's so pitiful.
The emperor walked outside the Cining Palace kitchen and saw Zhao Su who was humming a song and chopping vegetables in the window. The arrogant and domineering two days ago seemed to have completely disappeared from her. She was quick-witted and a kitchen knife was like her biological child. She was very obedient. With a wrong time, her beef made her into a row of meat slices.
Even Sixi couldn't help but exclaim: "It's strange. Miss Su's swordsmanship is so good."
The emperor's eyes also became deeper.
The work in the kitchen is not a good job. Although the ladies of the family are asked to learn some soup, how many people are really happy with this? However, the servants are all ready, and they go into the kitchen to add some salt and taste it.
But Zhao Su, who was busy, not only was she very experienced in acting, but she seemed to be enjoying it.
Zhao Su, who has a bad reputation, may not be anything but knowing how to cook. It is not easy for the lady from the Hou Mansion to be useless. But the question is how did the empress dowager know that she knows that she can cook?
Even if she exposed her skills to escape the Queen Mother's punishment that day, how could she know that the Queen Mother would take this trick?
The emperor held his hands, looked deeply for a moment, and then turned around.
Zhao Su spent half an hour preparing the ingredients and took the people back to the Imperial Garden.
The garden is still fragrant, and the palace servants standing outside the pavilion are still standing there.
Queen Mother Lu will still enjoy it. It is now entering the best season of the year. The flowers and trees in the garden are staggered, with flowers clustered, and the fragrance is swaying. There are actors singing and dancing there through the flowerbed. Don’t be too comfortable with the open pavilion where the rice is placed here.
"Mr. Lu!"
Zhao Su walked into the door with a small step. She was about to plant some vegetables in the harem to improve the food for Queen Mother Lu. Before she could say it, she suddenly settled under the door. Her raised leg was also stunned in the air...
On the jade mat with the long desk was already placed in the Changxuan, Empress Dowager Lu was sitting on the side of the long desk, and opposite her was the emperor wearing a golden dragon robe that was about to be blinded by the eyes!
"Mr. Lu?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.
Hearing this sound, Zhao Su started to hurt somewhere under her waist immediately, and her legs couldn't help but slip out...
"What a special title." The emperor turned to Empress Dowager Lu without changing his face, "Why didn't I know that the Queen Mother has such a honorary title?"
The heroine is the heroine. After the incident, Empress Dowager Lu is still as stable as Mount Tai, and no cup of tea in her hand splashed out: "I am the general in charge of the harem, can't I afford to be the word "General?"
"I just find it new."
"I also think it's new. This girl is a strange mind and has extraordinary actions from time to time. I have seen it a lot, so naturally I'm not surprised."
The emperor turned his face and looked at the copper plate grill in the hands of Zhao Su and the eunuchs behind him: "It's really extraordinary."
Zhao Su never expected that the emperor would appear here. She didn't have time to escape now?...Ah, she must be unable to escape, right? I wonder if he will mention the incident that night next?
"Silly? Why don't you meet the emperor soon?"
Queen Mother Lu gave a look.
Zhao Su quickly adjusted his mentality and bowed and said, "Zhao Su, the Marquis of Qingyun, see the Emperor!"
The emperor said lightly: "I heard your father say you are not feeling well?"
Zhao Su's heart trembled: "No..."
"Since you are not feeling well, please give Miss Su a seat. Remember to take a harder stool, which is good for the little girl's waist."
Before she could finish her sentence, the emperor had already started to arrange it.
Please! She has sores on her body! Give her a seat? She can jump around these days because the sores do not affect her walking, but she must pay attention when sitting down. The stool must be covered with thick cotton wool.
But he also specifically told me to have a harder stool. Did he do it on purpose?!
However, the eunuch was very obedient. After he finished speaking, a wooden stool with a light-plated yellow rosewood was brought over.
"Miss Su, this is the emperor's kindness, please sit down!"
The eunuch named Sixi reminded him enthusiastically. But Zhao Suke hated his excessive talk. If it weren't for his orders to do things, she would have glared at him no matter what.
Xie Wanen squatted down, and sat down next to the stool.
"Your sitting posture is quite special." The emperor looked at her.
Why doesn’t he know? How to sit in that position if the sores are in? A scheming male green tea bitch deliberately pretends to be innocent!
Zhao Su endured the pain and decided to end the embarrassment: "The Queen Mother, the fresh meat I just cut is not delicious after being kept for a long time. Why don't you put it on it first?"
“On the rack.”
Queen Mother Lu obviously didn't want to delay the meal. She looked at the opposite side: "I'm going to start a meal, are you going back or?"
"I haven't had a meal with my mother for a long time, so my son is here to show his filial piety."
"But you didn't prepare your part."
"It's okay, my son eats less, and the intention of serving my mother is more important."
Empress Dowager Lu paused a little and waved her hand to ask the palace servant to put the copper stove on the rack, and then carried the food boxes one by one.
Soon the copper stove barbecue stall was opened, and a variety of dishes were placed on the long table between Empress Dowager Lu and the Emperor, but all of them were raw without exception. The fishy red raw meat lay flat on the leaves, some of which seemed to have some blood and mixed with some internal organs!
In all the exquisite palaces, such pictures are really shocking.
The emperor looked at the scene and the hand that was shaking the fan had already stopped: "My mother's recent dietary preferences are quite special."
"I just said it's not suitable for you." After saying hello to Zhao Su, Empress Dowager Lu said: "Get on your business now."
Zhao Su, who was sitting in a strange posture, was completely redeemed. She stood up instantly and seamlessly joined the waiter. She first started to generate the charcoal fire in the pottery stove and put it on the copper plate rack, and then took out a small brush to dip it in oil.
After doing all this, she picked up a few slices of fatty and thin pork belly with chopsticks and put them on the edge of the copper pot, and added a few slices of potato chips, onions, etc.
After the heat comes up, the pot begins to sizzle. When the oil flows out, the thick slices of beef with very even weight and thinness are spread first. It should have been stained with stains. The surface is dull and red, which is no longer as bloody as before.
Soon, the unique aroma of meat was released. Zhao Su took a clip and picked up the beef and gently flipped it. The roasted side was slightly burnt brown, and the texture of the meat began to take shape.
When both sides were burnt red, she took a pair of scissors and cut the large piece of beef into small pieces suitable for the entrance and placed it in a small plate.
The whole piece of roasted beef was burnt red, but a faint pink color appeared at the cut, which was obviously not cooked!
The emperor frowned and watched Empress Dowager Lu pick up a piece and ate it into her mouth. She also saw that she did not show any unexpected pain, but she was very comfortable and enjoyed...
The aroma of meat is always rushing into the nose.
The emperor took a sip of tea, then pursed his lips and looked away.
