185 The First Emperor of the Ages (12)
Ning Xiguang had lunch, and when he was about to take a lunch break, Wang Zuofu came over again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ning Xiguang couldn't help but ask, "Why did my father-in-law come here at this time, isn't it snowing outside?"
But no, it was not long before the snow began to fall outside, and the snowflakes were small at first, but now they became goose feathers, but in a few moments, the ground was covered with a layer of white.
The ground in the palace is smooth, and if you don't shovel snow in time, you can make people fall if you are not careful.
Wang Zuofu is not young now, nearly fifty or so, if he falls carelessly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wang Zuofu smiled attentively, "The slave maid's body is still strong, even if it snows, it will not affect the errand." ”
Ning Xiguang smiled lightly.
Wang Zuofu told the truth, but even if he was unwell at this time, what could he do? What His Majesty ordered him to do, he could still do it, that is, even if he climbed, he had to climb to the Hanlian Palace.
Wang Zuofu then explained the purpose of his visit.
"Your Majesty said that the nobles are idle in the palace, I don't know if you are willing to give Wu Zhaoyi and Jiang Jieyu a hand and do something?"
"What's the matter?" Ning Xiguang was suspicious.
"It's not like it's going to be the New Year, and there are a lot of things in the palace. Not only do they have to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but they also have to be busy with various miscellaneous purchases, as well as the distribution of rewards in various mansions, and the number of palace maids to be dismissed in the first month of the next year. In previous years, this matter was done by the Queen Mother Zhang Luo, but a few days ago, the Queen Mother was unwell, and His Majesty asked Wu Zhaoyi and Jiang Jieyu to deal with these things for the time being. Clinker, Wu Zhaoyi's people went to the front to say goodbye, saying that Zhaoyi Niangniang was careless and contracted the wind cold, and now she is not feeling well......"
The princess voted for her a "you know" look.
Ning Xi let out an obvious "oh".
However, are you sure that Wu Zhaoyi is really sick, and not a bitter trick, and you want to take the opportunity for Your Majesty to visit her?
Ning Xiguang felt that the latter was more likely.
After all, when she died in the morning, the palace maids in Wu Zhaoyi's palace still came to her to listen to the news, if Wu Zhaoyi was really unwell, there were still those messy people who were busy there?
Besides, the trick of begging for mercy with illness is too ordinary and too easy to use, and she wanted to use it in the first place.
Ning Xiguang couldn't help but complain silently: I don't know if the marshal really didn't notice Wu Zhaoyi's "good intentions", or if he noticed it, but he didn't want to cooperate, and he was very tired of the harem's means of inviting pets, so he pushed her out and gave Wu Zhaoyi a small lesson?
I think this idea is more plausible.
Ning Xiguang immediately rolled his eyes silently.
No matter what the matter was, no matter whether it was the marshal's intention to let her take over the affairs, or whether it was the moth that Corion thought he had made, she was not ready to cooperate.
She has a good life, but why do she do that thankless thing? Not to mention that she was guilty, she also offended Wu Zhaoyi, although she was not afraid of her, but there was one more woman who looked at her unpleasantly, and every time she met Yin and Yang weird squeezed her, she was not comfortable.
Ning Xiguang thought of this, so he waved his hand directly and said, "I'm not in charge of things, I haven't been in charge of the house at home before, and I should ask another master to take care of the affairs of the harem, I really don't have that ability." ”
"But Your Majesty ......"
"Your Majesty just asked my father-in-law to ask my opinion, and he didn't make it clear that he had to let me agree, okay, that's it, the harem is complicated, and I can't leave people for a moment, so my father-in-law should hurry back and tell Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty choose another talent. ”
After Wang Zuofu left with a confused face, Cui Ying said sadly, "Why doesn't Niangniang agree? Not only the scenery on the face, but also the ...... in private"
"I can still get a lot of filial piety in private, and the most important thing is that the people in the palace all watch people put dishes on the plates, and when they see that I am soaring, they have to rush to the knot, and I will be flattered, and my life will be better. Isn't that right?"
Cui Ying laughed twice, "Yes." ”
"Are you stupid?" Ning Xi glanced at her, "Even if I don't care about things, who can underestimate me?" You know, I am a fox charm now, and Your Majesty can't do without me......"
"My good mother, what are you talking about? ”
"Okay, okay, what's the hurry? It's not me who said it myself, it's not the little girl in the palace who is talking behind her back, let me hear it. ”
"Slave maid, slave maid will send someone to kick out those who chew their tongues behind their backs, and they will not be let in again. ”
"Alright, no big deal. People praise me, what are you anxious about? Good, that's really not a big deal, I don't mind, you see what you're angry about, your eyes are red. ”
Ning Xiguang didn't have to spend much time to be Wang Zuofu before, but if he wanted to persuade this girl who served the Lord faithfully, he almost wore out his mouth.
She drank several cups of tea so thirsty that when it was time for dinner, she felt so full that she couldn't eat anything.
On this day, Emperor Long Yuan came over for dinner as usual.
He came quite late, and when he entered the house, the cloak rolled up a snowstorm, and the candles in the house flickered a few times.
"Why are you here now?" Ning Xiguang looked out, but he didn't see too many Imperial Forest Soldiers accompanying him, not even Gong'e and eunuchs, only Wang Zuofu was by his side.
Without waiting for him to answer, Ning Xiguang had already eagerly summoned Cui Ying to serve hot tea, and then automatically walked over, stuffed the small hand stove in his arms into his hand, and untied his cloak by the way.
"If you want to come, you won't have someone to inform you sooner, so I can get something ready for you. You see it's cold, dripping into ice, you just stay in the Qianqing Palace, what are you doing here?"
Wang Zuofu lowered his head and pretended to be deaf and dumb, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart: I didn't expect Ning Guiren to be so bold.
I didn't see it before, this Ning Guiren was so bold that he dared to reprimand His Majesty, could this be the legendary pampered and spoiled?
Cui Ying brought hot water and towels in, Ning Xiguang wrung out the towel, wiped Fu Siyan's hands and face, and pulled him to sit on the Nanmu carved chair, and covered the towel on his scalp to warm up for a while.
It wasn't until the blue and white on his face had all receded and turned to a ruddy color that Ning Xiguang was relieved and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
"None. ”
Ning Xiguang couldn't help but glare at him, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and he hadn't had dinner yet. This routine and diet are not regular at all, and sooner or later the body will be worn out.
"You sit down and rest for a while, if it's still cold, I'll have someone bring you some hot water, and you can take a good bath." I'll get you something to eat. It will take some time, so be patient. ”
"Hmm. ”
Seeing that he was sitting on the chair and unwilling to move, and had no intention of bathing, Ning Xiguang simply stopped persuading, and only asked Wang Zuofu to brighten the candlelight, don't forget to watch Emperor Longyuan, let him read the book for a while and rest his eyes for a while, and in Wang Zuofu's wry smile, he went down to work.
There is no small kitchen in Hanlian Palace, and if you want to eat, you can only go to the imperial dining room not close to Hanlian Palace.
Cui Ying brought Ning Xiguang a thick cloak, and the two of them quickly went to the imperial dining room surrounded by several palace eunuchs.
After the meal, the imperial chef in the imperial dining room had already gone back to rest, except for the two chefs on duty tonight and a few apprentices, there was no one else inside.
A few chefs and disciples were eating snacks and snacks, chatting and laughing. Hearing a noise outside, several people's faces froze, until they saw Ning Xiguang go to the kitchen in person, and Cui Ying was waiting on the side, and several people were shocked to realize Ning Xiguang's identity, and they were all so frightened that they were prostrate on the ground, full of color.
"Alright, you all go down, I'll just come here myself. ”
A few of the cooks shivered and almost burst into tears. Cui Ying also looked worried, and suggested in a low voice, "It's better to let the slave stay with the nobleman." "Whispered, "The slave knows some cooking skills, and can help the mother." ”
"No need for you. Go down quickly, you go outside and wait, I'll be fine in a moment." ”
A few chefs and Cui Ying tried to persuade them to no avail, so they could only wait outside with their hearts full.
And after Ning Xiguang waited for everyone to go out, he glanced at the ingredients in the imperial dining room, and had a spectrum in his heart, and then quickly opened up.
She doesn't have much to prepare, it's the same if it's full, or it's two.
If you want to say the most nourishing thing in winter, it has to be sheep soup.
So she made haggis soup and prepared to throw some thin ramen noodles into it, or cut the cake into small pieces and put it in. This has become a simple mutton stewed noodles"?!" and mutton steamed buns.
I remember that when the marshal was still a generation of virtuous ministers, she often made mutton stewed noodles and mutton steamed buns for the marshal to eat at night, and each of them could eat a big bowl at a time.
Don't look at things simple, some can't be on the table, and serious imperial food can't be compared, but you can't stand it delicious.
In particular, this soup also added her secret preparation techniques, and added several fresh-enhancing medicinal materials she got in the fairy world, with the same, the mutton soup cooked out is bright in color, and the fragrance has a different charm, which makes people salivate when they smell it.
Ning Xiguang quickly put up a good meal, put it in a special food box, and wrapped it with a thick quilt outside, which was carefully carried by the two boys in the imperial dining room and sent to Hanlian Palace diligently.
Still far away from the Hanlian Palace, Ning Xiguang found that the lights of the entire Hanlian Palace were bright, and at the entrance of the Hanlian Palace, Emperor Long Yuan stood there with a gloomy face, looking directly at her.
Ning Xiguang's heart jumped, and he hurriedly sped up and walked over.
Holding his hand, it was really cold and had a fight with the ice, and her brows furrowed in an instant.
He glared at him and said, "Why did you run out, you don't know it's snowing outside?
Fu Siyan didn't answer and asked, "Have you gone to the imperial dining room?"
"Knowingly, I asked. Ning Xiguang took his hand, and the two walked towards the main hall, "I said I'll go get you something to eat, I can't go there if I don't go to the imperial dining room? ”
Speaking of this, he saw that Fu Siyan's face was even more gloomy and ugly, and when Ning Xiguang saw this, he suddenly understood the reason why Lord Marshal was angry.
It turned out that I felt sorry for her.
Suddenly, I couldn't help but laugh, "You're in a hurry, aren't you?" You don't know, I haven't eaten either, I've drunk too much tea this afternoon, and I'm not hungry at all. But when I made noodles for you, I also made one for me, and we both ate it together. ”
"Hmm. His face finally got a lot better, and everyone around him, including Wang Zuofu, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
"Wang Zuofu. Emperor Long Yuan suddenly spoke coldly.
"The slave is here. ”
"Add a small kitchen to the Hanlian Palace tomorrow. ”
"The slave and maid obey the order, and find someone to do it early tomorrow morning. ”
“…… By the way, I will find two more chefs with good cooking skills. ”
"Yes. Obey Your Majesty's orders. ”
Ning Xiguang: Puff. Such a serious marshal is so cute!
Yay, the small kitchen thing was done so by mistake, long live long live long live!
In the future, you can be willful to Zhang Luo all kinds of delicious food, and you can also use food to conquer the heart of the marshal, it's just stupid!
Ning Xiguang was happy in her heart, and her face showed it, her jade porcelain-like cheeks were flushed, Qingling's eyebrows were bent into a crescent moon, her delicate little mouth was upturned, and Fu Siyan's heart was itchy, and her brain was uncontrollable and remembered last night's tenderness, and a certain throbbing in her heart was even more urgent.
But he still forced himself to hold back and said, "Let's eat." ”
There are two simple big bowls on the table, this bowl is really a big bowl, and it is not at all the same as the delicate bowl that the masters of the harem usually use to eat.
This is one of those large bowls, and one bowl is enough to cover several small bowls.
Wang Zuofu saw the sea bowl that was not reserved at all, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach the root behind his ears.
On the other hand, Cui Ying and the others were also a little embarrassed, hanging their heads and taking care of themselves, and their eyes didn't sweep their eyes to this sea bowl.
"Eat it, you're welcome. Ning Xiguang saw the marshal in a daze at this sea bowl, and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't look at the large capacity of this bowl, in fact, there is more soup in it, and it will be digested quickly after drinking, so it doesn't hurt to drink more." ”
Ning Xiguang pushed the simplified version of the mutton soup stewed noodles to Fu Siyan, and he took a spoon, put a spoonful of mutton steamed buns in his mouth, chewed it lightly a few times and swallowed it, and sighed with satisfaction, "It's delicious." ”
It's delicious!!
She has been cultivating for too long, and she has been an immortal for a while, and she almost forgot the smell of fireworks in the world. Now when you eat it in your mouth, you feel amazingly delicious.
Sure enough, eating some rice noodles makes people feel more down-to-earth.
Fu Siyan held the chopsticks, but still didn't move.
Ning Xiguang saw him staring directly at her bowl, thinking that he also wanted to eat, so he took a spoonful and handed it over, "You taste it, it's delicious." I didn't put shredded green onions, you should be used to eating them. ”
Seeing this situation, Wang Zuofu was already shouting frantically in his heart.
Which little rabbit cub told Ning Guiren that His Majesty was not so shalloted!!
He took a lot of hard work today to clean up the people inside and outside the Zhengqing Palace and the Qianqing Palace, and he thought that anyone who was a little careful had been cleaned up, but looking at the current situation, it is difficult to see that there are still fish that have slipped through the net.
In addition, Ning Guiren, you may not know that Your Majesty has a habit of cleanliness and does not eat with others!
