"If the emperor had concubines in his heart, how could he appoint a prince so early?! Your majesty! The prince needs to win by virtue, but the emperor thinks that the order is superior... The concubines are really unfair for Zhang Er!" After Li Fei finished speaking, she put down her chopsticks and turned her back.
"My beloved concubine! I can't change the rules of our ancestors! The crown prince is the queen's son, and he is older than the other princes! Although Zhang'er is your descendant, after all, a son is as precious as his mother! Aifei is not a petty person, I know you Rest assured, Zhang Erzhen will not treat you badly! Although he is not the prince, what he has now is no different from the prince!" Liu Heng smiled and comforted Concubine Li.
"Ah... the emperor eats food! Please forgive me for being rude just now." Concubine Li turned around and served Liu Heng with food again with a sullen face.
After a meal, Liu Heng ate comfortably, but he was gentle and surprised from the sidelines, this Concubine Li must be too embarrassing, she dared to show the emperor face!
"Concubine Ai, today's dinner seems to be more ordinary than usual! Could it be that Concubine Ai got a new love chef?" After the meal, Liu Heng wiped his mouth lightly and said.
"Where does the concubine have such insight? Isn't it because of the blessing of the emperor! The concubine is delighted to hear that the emperor has newly acquired Miss Wen as the royal cook, and today she is specially summoned to the palace to dress the emperor. Is the emperor's food satisfactory?" Concubine Li reported truthfully.
"It turned out to be Miss Wen's handicraft! Not bad!" Liu Heng raised his eyes and approached gently.
"This girl is delicate, clever and dexterous, and she cured Yunluo's illness! Hehe, I never thought that my concubine would recognize my talent!" Liu Heng smiled.
"The concubine doesn't know how to know people, but it's just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha! If the emperor is satisfied, he will go to the concubine's hall in the future, and the concubine will call Miss Wen to come! What does the emperor think?" Concubine Li flashed her charming big eyes , the glory is complete.
"Okay, okay! Everything is up to you!" Liu Heng got up slowly with blurred eyes. Gently pulled Li Fei's silky and smooth arm.
Musk Moon gestured quickly with her eyes, and all the palace people withdrew one after another.
Even Wen Rou bowed her head and quickly left the palace of Ganlu Hall.
Needless to ask next, it is naturally the Wushan* of the king and concubine. Haunting.
However, Gentle was surprised.
The moment he turned around and left just now. He could clearly see a trace of displeasure on Empress Li's face.
It seems that Liu Heng helped her to bed is something she was extremely reluctant to do.
Thinking back to today's meal, and Aunt Sheyue's explanation, Concubine Li was so indifferent and polite during the dinner, Wen Rou always felt that something was wrong.
This concubine Li is really a strange concubine!
...
The days in the palace are busy and fickle.
A few days ago, Princess Yunluo had just been cured of her strange illness, and Empress Li came to ask for someone again. It was easy to get back on track with the daily imperial meal, the Empress Dowager didn't know if she got the news, and ordered someone to come to the imperial dining room to invite an imperial chef to cook the meals.
"Chef Wen, you go!" Master Wei looked at the royal chefs, and finally decided to let Wen Shouzheng go to show off his cooking skills.
After all, his culinary skills should not be underestimated! What's more, he is a gentle father!
"Lord Wei, slave..." Wen Shouzheng was a little uncertain at first.
"Chef Wen, go ahead and do it! I can trust your cooking skills!" Master Wei nodded!
"Father, go boldly! The Empress Dowager's stomach has recovered now, so you can do it boldly! Our pasta snacks in Xianyang. Maybe the Empress Dowager will like it!" The gentle ghost gestured with.
Wen Shouzheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately!
Going to cook with confidence!
A series of noodles with Shaanxi characteristics, strong noodles. The appetizing noodle cake is sour and delicious, which makes you feel refreshed.
The Empress Dowager ate with a smile on her face, and kept praising: "Well, well! Thank you!"
In a few days, with the prestige of the empress dowager, Wen Shou was also famous in the imperial dining room.
Not long after, the Wen family's father and daughter in the imperial dining room have become the objects of talk of the entire palace.
However, talk is talk. One is the little padded jacket of the Empress Dowager, and the other is the palace treasure of the Empress Li. What's more, the two were originally the emperor's private royal chefs, and the empresses, concubines, and young masters of each palace... have this kind of heart. I don't have the guts either! I can only watch helplessly as Wen's father and daughter run around all day, cooking delicious food!
"Your Majesty, the Musk Moon from Ganlu Hall is here, waiting outside!" In the north study, Liu Heng was reading, and Eunuch Fu came in to give a pass.
"Oh? Let her in." Liu Heng raised his eyelids slightly and explained softly.
Immediately, Musk Moon entered, and after some etiquette, he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Empress Li said that this year's crabs are very plump, so I specially ordered my servants to come and invite the Emperor to try them together!"
"Oh? Good! I'm really greedy for that crab! Tell Concubine Li, I'm going tonight!" Liu Henglong was overjoyed, and She Yue respectfully bid farewell.
"How is it? What did the emperor say?" In the Ganlu Palace, Concubine Li was waiting for Musk Moon to return.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor agreed, saying that he will come at night!" Musk Moon reported.
"Okay, hurry up and call Wen Rou!" A strange joy flashed across Li Fei's face.
In the imperial dining room, the imperial cooks are busy, today is Shangshan Fuqu Lord who is on duty, and at the moment he is preparing a rich lunch for Liu Heng!
"Miss Wen!" Musk Moon walked in quickly and called out loudly.
"Hello, Aunt Musk Moon!" She came over gently and swiftly.
"After you finish your lunch meal, come to the Ganlu Hall. The emperor's dinner is served in the Ganlu Hall. The Empress Li will let you go there!" Musk Moon explained lightly, her eyes glanced at the cutting board under Mr. Qu's hands with disdain .
At this time, on the large chopping board, there are sliced tomatoes, cottony and sweet taro, and of course the best snowflake beef!
It seems that Mr. Qu is going to present to Liu Heng today a soup with good color and taste, tomato, taro and beef soup!
In addition, among the already prepared side dishes, the golden pineapple is paired with bright pork tenderloin. If you guessed right, it is a sweet and sour sweet and sour pork.
The vegetarian dish is light and appetizing mountain mushroom, and the fruit is shredded banana.
"Aunt Musk Moon." Master Qu nodded in greeting.
Musk Moon smiled politely, and turned around immediately.
"Master Qu, today's soup with tomato, taro and beef is full of color, flavor, and flavor. The emperor will definitely be full of praise!" As soon as the sumptuous lunch came out of the pot, Wen Wen was already salivating.
"Naturally, these tomatoes are sweet and sour, and they are best served with beef! Every time the emperor eats this dish, he can eat it happily, and he is full of praise!" Mr. Qu proudly said.
Sure enough, when passing on the meal, Liu Heng smiled happily, enjoying the meal!
