"Okay, okay! Thanks to this child, he has such abilities at such a young age! It's really impressive!" After the Empress Dowager recovered from her illness, she was in a great mood, holding Nangongxue with her left hand, and her complexion was relaxed.
Gentleness hides aside, watching the empress dowager love Nangongxue so much, although her heart is a little sour, but it is replaced by a kind of joy and pride after all.
How much she wanted to go forward and tell the Empress Dowager herself that in fact, those meals were not made by the people in the imperial dining room, but all came from her hands; in fact, she was not a maid or assistant brought by Nangongxue, but a cook, a A true cook.
They worked together outside the palace to cure Grandma Tao, and inside the palace they worked together to cure the Empress Dowager!
How much she wanted to be like Nangong Xue, lying on the Empress Dowager's lap, enjoying the Empress Dowager's caress and approval.
However, gentleness held back.
At this moment, she can only retreat behind the crowd, because she knows that she is just a cook, a nameless, insignificant cook, who is not even qualified to participate in the Beijing chef selection competition!
If you open your mouth at this time, it will only make people laugh and generous, overthinking one's abilities, and eager to seek merit!
Nangong Xue's gaze was full of anxiety in her heart, looking for a gentle figure among the crowd.
How much she wanted to tell the Empress Dowager the truth, and tell her that all of this was not only due to medical skills, but also to the effect of food conditioning!
The so-called three-point rule, seven-point support!
The credit for gentleness is indisputable!
But what to say? The time is not enough, if you speak at this time, at most you can only ask for some rewards for gentleness, an unknown girl outside the palace, no matter how well she does, in the eyes of those high-ranking people in the palace. It's just a cloud.
The rules in the palace are set by the ancestors! There has never been a precedent for women to participate in the selection of chefs in the capital. If it is to be changed, the emperor will have a golden mouth. But with Wen Wen's current status, she wants to be the king of a country. It is impossible to change the rules for a commoner cook!
Nangongxue's eyes passed through the clutter of the crowd, and finally met the gentle eyes.
It was the tacit heart-to-heart connection, who nodded to her gently and quietly, as if also telling her, "The time has not come, wait for it to change!"
yes! There must be an excellent opportunity!
Nangongxue thought the same way!
At this moment, suddenly.
"Report! Your Majesty, an urgent report on the eight hundred miles of military information!" Outside the empress dowager's bedroom. Some soldiers played loudly.
"Queen, you can rest at ease, and I won't bother you!" Liu Heng calmly saluted the empress dowager on the bed, and was about to leave.
"Go, let's go, Ai's family is fine, the country and the country are important!" The Empress Dowager nodded, and then gently said to Nangong Xue who was on her lap: "Xue'er, you should also follow and serve. Your Majesty has not closed your eyes for days and nights here at Ai's house, your medical skills are excellent. Be with the Emperor, Ai's family can rest assured!"
"Mother, this is absolutely unacceptable. You have just recovered, so let Xue'er stay and serve you!" Liu Heng refused.
"Don't worry, your majesty, the Ai family has all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, and they are all cured now, so there is no need to worry about it. But the emperor, the king belongs to the world, so don't be careless! Just let Xue'er follow, and the Ai family can rest assured to recuperate!" The empress dowager exhorted.
outside the temple. The soldiers who are in charge of the military are still waiting, Liu Heng can't shirk. I had to agree.
"Sheng Yaoshan, come here too!" Just as Liu Heng was about to leave. Bright eyes slowly fell on Sheng Yaoshan.
Nangongxue turned her head, her eyes signaled the gentleness in the crowd.
That's right, that's the maid she brought, and also her assistant. Since the empress dowager let her go with the emperor, Wenrou has no reason to stay in the empress dowager's bedroom.
So Wenrou followed Nangongxue, and together with Sheng Yaoshan, went to the south study with the emperor!
"Urgently summon Duke Ding to come to the South Study to see me." As he walked quickly, Liu Heng said softly, and the little eunuch who followed trotted all the way out of the palace to the direction of Ren's mansion!
In the south study room, the travel-worn soldier couldn't wait to present the letter in his arms.
"Reporting to the emperor, the frontier military situation is urgent. The Tegel tribe and the Qierxin tribe have assembled a large number of people on the grassland. While I am recuperating and weakening the frontier military defense, they are attacking my Dazhou in one fell swoop! Xu Although your lord is guarding the northern frontier, you are caught off guard by this rushing attack, and you will come to ask your majesty for instructions at the end of fate!" The soldiers spoke quickly, with heavy words!
At this time, Ren Hongting was quickly entering the South Study Room, so he could hear the soldiers' military situation clearly just now.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is late!" Ren Hongting said possessively.
"Dingguo, please, just now, Dingguo heard about the military situation in the frontier, so what's your opinion?" Liu Heng stared at Ren Hongting's gray hair with bright eyes.
The good brother who followed him through life and death, really has to accept his old age! I don't know when, it turned out to be so old! Although the heroic figure of the year is still there, the wrinkles on the face and the gray hair all show that Ren Hongting is now an old man!
"That's right! My sons are all grown up, and Duke Ding's sons have already made great military exploits. I really can't accept my old age!" Liu Heng sighed secretly in his heart!
"Your Majesty! The old minister thought that this time the Tegel Tribe and the Qier New Tribe joined forces on the grassland. They came prepared, and my Da Zhou has recently recuperated. If I really want to wait until the new army is assembled, I am afraid that the opportunity to fight will be delayed. , it is better to let the old minister lead the former subordinates, so that the battle can be solved quickly!" Ren Hongting cupped his hands.
"En! What Ding Guogong said is very true!" Liu Heng nodded, but looked at Sheng Yaoshan who was on the side.
"Your Majesty, the general thought that the Fanteger tribe and the Qierxin tribe were just two small grassland tribes of the northern barbarians. They were greedy for a while and wanted to attack our Dazhou border defense. Such stupid actions of hitting stones with pebbles are unnecessary. Troubled Duke Ding to go out in person, since the last general has been diligently training our Sheng family’s new army since defeating the Southwest bandits, even though he has been with His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince in recent days, he did not forget to tell the Deputy Commander of Jingzhong to continue training the new army, I want to come to my Sheng family's new army, and they must be ready for battle at any time. This frontier battle. The general begged the emperor to allow the general to lead the army to attack and suppress! The general must give the emperor a stable, stable and orderly frontier !" Sheng Yaoshan was impassioned, kneeling on one knee to plead for his life!
Liu Heng's eyes flashed a hint of joy that he had prepared for a long time. He nodded and praised: "Good! General Sheng is young and brave, and he has made great achievements. It's really gratifying to be so considerate of me, Da Zhou and Ding Guogong! So, I have accepted General Sheng! Come here, and take my golden merit. Give the heavy arrows to General Sheng! This time we go to the frontier, we must annihilate the Nate Geer tribe and the Qierxin tribe in one fell swoop, so that we can promote the national prestige of our Great Zhou! There will be a great reward when we triumph in the future!" Liu Hengkuai He stepped down and gently helped Sheng Yaoshan. Eyes full of relief.
"The last general takes orders! The military situation is urgent, the last general will go back to prepare, and the army will set off early tomorrow morning!" Sheng Yaoshan cupped his hands again.
The military situation on the northern frontier is urgent! Yaoshan is going to fight!
Wen Rou stood behind Nangong Xue, her eyes full of worry!
General Sheng! He is going to fight again!
At the same time, Nangongxue's heart is also full of concerns. Although the world has always been peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, some discordant episodes always pop up in a mess. Every time there is trouble in the Great Zhou, Sheng Yaoshan always takes the lead rushed out. This time again!
Nangongxue's heart tugged again, as if every time she knew that he was going to go to war, even though she knew that he was brave and good at fighting. He has always been a victorious general, but his heart is still full of worries about him, for fear that he will get hurt or get sick.
Every time Shengyao Mountain goes to war, Nangongxue always burns incense for him at home to pray for the protection of the gods, although Nangongxue never believes that there are gods!
It's just that Sheng Yaoshan never knew about all this!
Her affection for him is only in the bottom of her heart, not to mention that he has always only had Da Zhou and Jiang Shan in his heart. If there was a corner of love between his son and daughter, it was just a tender yearning hidden in his heart.
this night. Definitely a sleepless night!
After asking for the peace pulse for the emperor, Nangongxue went to the side hall of the palace to take a rest with gentleness.
here. A court lady had already prepared beds and clothes for them.
"Sister Xue'er, I'm afraid I can't stay here with you." The maid just went out. Wen Rou impatiently grabbed Nangong Xue's hand.
"Why? Sister Rou'er is not resenting me for the affairs around the Queen Mother during the day, is it?" Nangongxue was puzzled.
In her heart, Wen Rou should not be the kind of person who cares about every detail and has a small belly.
"Of course not, it's just that this is the imperial palace, Rou'er is not used to it for a while, and she still hopes that sister Xue'er will be happy!" Rourou lied.
In fact, she was not used to it, it was just because she heard that Sheng Yaoshan was going to go to war tomorrow morning, she was only worried about Sheng Yaoshan!
In her previous life, she also served as a chef, and accompanied him on expeditions. The sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the mountains were high and the water was long. Although it was a hard journey, with her cooking skills, he and his soldiers would be satisfied.
Now that she was reborn, even though she knew that she hadn't caught up with this sudden expedition in her previous life, she still couldn't worry about her old friends in her previous life because of her nature. What's more, Yaoshan has always been taken care of by her side. This time it was her It's time to give back!
The selection of chefs in the capital is just around the corner, but there is still no movement from Master Qiao! If nothing unexpected, she must still be troubled by the identity of the cook, yes! No women have ever participated, how can I make the palace change the rules!
Since you can't wait, it's better to spend your time and energy on things that can be achieved!
Let Dad go all out for the competition! Anyway, according to the trajectory of the previous life, Dad will definitely be selected into the palace! At that time, father will enter the palace, and everything will be discussed in the long run!
Thinking so softly, all her thoughts were put on Sheng Yaoshan for a while!
When I enter the palace in the coming day and find out the truth, I still don’t know if I can stay in the capital or the palace... No one can tell what will happen in the future. Since the kindness from the previous life has a chance to repay it in this life, let me devote myself to it. Let's do the things in front of us!
Nangongxue didn't know these words, she just thought that everything was as Gentle said, there were indeed many inconveniences in the palace, if the queen mother hadn't told her to wait for the emperor, she would not have rushed here.
Right now, she can't get away, Wen Rou is just one of her attendants, she can come and go freely naturally, after some explanations, Wen Wen was sent out of the palace smoothly.
