"Come on, Chuan'er, how do you like this dish?"
Empress Dowager Zhou had a smile on her face, and she was happy from the corners of her brows and eyes as she personally put a dish into Mo Chuan's bowl.
Mo Chuan was also full of joy. He rarely saw such a heartfelt smile on Queen Mother Zhou's face. He said with a smile: "My son has long said that the dishes in the mother's harem are the most delicious, and they are all the best." It’s Erchen’s favorite food.”
He told the truth.
Empress Dowager Zhou likes to eat light vegetarian food, and most of the dinner on this table consists of fragrant meat dishes. Nine out of ten dishes are his favorite, and they are obviously specially prepared for him.
"Since you like to eat, eat more. The Aijia has seen that you have lost weight in the past few days. Your eyes are all red. The Aijia also heard that you spent the whole night reading in the imperial study room last night. Emperor "The political affairs of this country are important, and your health is also important. If you are exhausted, aren't you afraid that the Ai family will worry about you?" Queen Mother Zhou looked at him distressedly and turned to tell Su Jin.
"Go and stew a bowl of bird's nest quickly to replenish the emperor's health."
"Yes, the Queen Mother." Su Jin bowed on her knees and turned to leave.
She had watched Mo Chuan grow up, and her love for Mo Chuan was the same as that of Queen Mother Zhou.
Mo Chuan said with a smile: "Mother, you are too worried. I am a martial arts practitioner, so I need less sleep than ordinary people. I only need to sit quietly and exercise for a while, which is equivalent to an hour of sleep for ordinary people. Mother, please Don’t worry, I will take care of my body.”
Seeing that Empress Dowager Zhou was about to say more, he took the lead and said, "Queen Mother, this dish tastes so good, but I don't know where the Queen Mother hired the chef to make such a delicious dish."
Empress Dowager Zhou smiled and said: "If you didn't mention it, the Ai family would have forgotten it. Yes, the Ai family invited you to dine today because the Ai family got a good cook. All the dishes on the table are made by this chef." , The Ai family thinks it’s good, but they didn’t expect that even the emperor would like to eat the dishes made by this chef.”
Mo Chuan praised: "Congratulations to the Queen, it's rare for a cook to be praised like this by the Queen. This person's cooking skills are extraordinary, and my sons and ministers will definitely reward him heavily so that he can cook more for the Queen."
"There's no need to say congratulations. The dishes made by this cook are not in line with the taste of the Ai family. The Ai family likes to eat vegetarian food. The simpler, the better. This cook's skills are extraordinary. Staying here is really too unqualified. He is not as good as the Ai family. Send this cook to the emperor's Guanju Palace so that you can always eat the delicious food made by this cook, okay?" Queen Mother Zhou said with a smile.
Mo Chuan said with a smile: "Wouldn't that mean that the sons and ministers are trying to steal the mother's queen?"
"Silly boy, you can't say whether to rob or not. If my mother has something good, she will always think of you first. If you are willing, the Ai family will send someone to send this cook to your palace." Queen Mother Zhou said.
Her words warmed Mo Chuan's heart, and he replied with a smile: "In that case, I will be disrespectful. I would like to thank my mother and empress."
He didn't care about the cook's skills, but he only cared about the care and concern the Empress Dowager Zhou had for him.
As for Guanju Palace, it would be nice to have a chef with extraordinary skills. Ning'er will definitely like the dishes made by this chef.
The Empress Dowager Zhou was very satisfied and ordered: "Come here, send the cook to Guanju Palace and tell him that from now on he will stay in Guanju Palace and let him serve His Majesty the Emperor."
