Chapter 2 Food is the life of foodies
Ye Daiwan walked so fast that she almost tripped and fell when she crossed the threshold, but fortunately, Xu Suying behind her quickly hugged her waist. Ye Daiwan maintained this ridiculous posture and couldn't help laughing. "I was so reckless."
"Your Majesty is really, obviously athletic, but always so careless." Xu Suying couldn't help laughing.
"No, no, no, I'm not as good as you. I've been practicing well lately, and even I can carry it. Ye Daiwan stood firm against the wall, turned around and praised.
"Your Majesty, I'm laughing again." Although Xu Suying said this, her face burst out with pride. She was indeed completely different from what she used to be. "Your Majesty, let's go. General Jiang Ying should be in a hurry. ”
"That's right." Ye Daiwan hurriedly lifted the corner of her skirt and walked inside quickly. This action made Lu Shushen shake his head when he saw it, which was really too imageless. However, now is not the time to talk about such a thing, let's wait until the matter is over in a few days.
The first thing Ye Daiwan saw when she entered the door was Jiang Ying, who had a serious face, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. Seems to be good news. "What is it about Zhong Chang that makes you so happy?"
"Your Majesty, this is the most favorable news." Jiang Ying immediately took out a letter. "Your Majesty, this is from You'an. He said that he was in Xijing under the command of General Ding Yu. ”
"Ding Yu?" Ye Daiwan recently memorized "The General's Chronicles" to the point of having a headache and brain swelling, and she wanted to die or live, as soon as this name came out, she immediately reacted. The name Ding Yu is so familiar that I blurted it out. "Isn't Ding Yu the general who followed Gong Xie to fight the Battle of Chiye? In the record, he won more with less seven times and defended the rear for Xie Gongzhen. ”
"Exactly. Ding Yu can be said to be the best choice among the generals to resist the northern army today. You'an is now following him, and if they follow the battlefield together, then accumulating merit is just a matter of ease. When Jiang Ying said this, she was also excited.
Ye Daiwan smiled and nodded. "That's really good news, so let's make it happen. If You'an can take charge of the army, it would be great for us. ”
Seeing that Zhong Chang was always cold, I thought he was cold and cold, but I didn't expect to think about You'an so much in my heart. Ye Daiwan couldn't help but laugh.
These two people, one is a general who is as cold as frost, and the other is a bohemian son. It doesn't look like they're the same kind of people at all, but they miss each other, it's amazing.
Ye Daiwan discussed with Jiang Ying for a while and decided on a strategy. When I looked up, it was already past the willow tree, and everyone had a dinner in the hall before sending everyone off one by one. However, she continued to work after that, almost dawn.
"It's already this time." Ye Daiwan only closed the pen under Ji Xi's repeated urging.
"Your Majesty, it's like this with everyone, even Lord Lu can't remember the time at all." Ji Xi is now the head maid, because the rest of the people have no time to manage these chores. Ji Xi couldn't help but sigh again when she thought of this.
"What's wrong?" Although Ye Daiwan was already very tired, she still noticed her frustration.
"Your Majesty, isn't the concubine very useless?" Ji Xi's expression was not as relaxed as her tone. Ye Daiwan saw in her eyes the darkness that was absolutely intolerable, which was self-loathing discrimination. Ji Xi said in a low voice. "Your Majesty, if the concubine doesn't understand this, is it a person who is useless to Your Majesty?"
Although it is a question sentence, it is obvious that her heart is already a declarative sentence. She had the exact answer in her mind.
Ye Daiwan was naturally familiar with this question, because she had said this to herself thousands of times. But what could be a more stupid question in the world than questioning oneself? Even if anyone in the world has reason to doubt themselves, only one person can't, only oneself can't.
But humans are probably a stupid race, and the first to question is always themselves.
Ye Daiwan stood up, her eyes met, and she slowed her voice. "How can you think that? No one understands everything, everyone has their own advantages, and naturally they also have their own disadvantages. If you ask me to make a table of dishes that you are good at, I will probably scratch my scalp, and I won't be able to do it. ”
"Your Majesty, don't laugh. How can cooking be the same as governing the country? Just like the simplest rice porridge eaten by His Majesty, it is also used in Longshan millet, which has only been eaten by the great families for thousands of years. Before the concubine entered the palace, she had never even heard of it. How can such rice be the same as the corn that the people of Pingtou eat? Ji Xi's voice was accompanied by a hoarse cry.
"It's the same. For me, governing the country is just as important as the cuisine. Ye Daiwan smiled. For hunger, rice is food that fills the stomach. Whether it is the precious and rare Longshan rice you said, or the corn in the people's bowls, three taels is enough to fill the stomach, and a person only has one stomach, and he can't fit more. ”
Ye Daiwan knew that it was impossible for her to agree with her by saying this, so she then took her hand and put it to her chest, where Ye Daidu's heartbeat could be clearly heard. This is her most sincere answer.
"I understand what you mean, rice and people are born differently, and their net worth is different. But do you want to know how important food is to me? I once stood by the well, and when I wanted to jump in, it was the aroma of the rice that made me reluctant to give up on this world, and I didn't even want to die. ”
"Your Majesty." Ji Xi immediately remembered the incident before Ye Daiwan entered the palace. She is not so stupid, and withholding the maid's meal in the palace is also a good way to teach a lesson, and if she is starved for two or three meals, no matter how stubborn and ignorant the world is, the girl will give in to the order.
"Of course, when I stole half of the roast chicken and the fat melted in my mouth, I never thought about such a stupid choice again." Ye Daiwan said with a smile. "So Ji Xi, please don't underestimate the power of food. If I can be the king of the prosperous world in the future, then food will be the first-class hero of this prosperous world. ”
Ji Xi was amused. "Your Majesty, how can you be so powerful? Aren't the adults who assist Your Majesty going to be second? ”
"But if I don't live to this day, which one will they go to assist?" Ye Daiwan winked at her. This is an unspeakable truth. "Besides, you're not helpless with anything, are you? If you hadn't been here in this hall today, I'm afraid it would have been messed up a long time ago. Thank you for your hard work, Ji Xi. ”
Ji Xi covered her mouth, desperately restraining the crying in her throat, but forgot to hide the tears in her eyes.
"Also, don't call it a 'concubine'." Ye Daiwan pinched the corner of the handkerchief and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "That word is not worthy of our ambitious, arrogant, frank and straightforward Ji Xi."
Ji Xi looked at Ye Daidui and couldn't cry. Ye Daiwan stood in front of her, not moving, and her eyes did not take her off to cry, as if these tears were more urgent than all other important government affairs. No, Ji Xi knows that these eyes are sincere.
After crying for a long time, Ji Xi stammered and confided her heart to Ye Daidu.
"Your Majesty, concubine, no, can I also learn to do these things?"
