() Entering the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the first person he saw was Su Peisheng with an anxious face, he waited for the emperor for a long time but did not see him come back, he was already very anxious, and he was trying to send someone out to find it, so as not to have an accident.

Seeing the emperor this time, he was relieved, and he didn't care about picking up the dust in his hand when it fell to the ground, and exclaimed, "Where have you gone, hey hey the emperor, the old slave is in a hurry, so he sent someone to search the entire palace, thank God for the lord Longen, you are finally back, and the old slave's hanging heart can also be put into the stomach." ”

The emperor occasionally likes to stay alone, and no one is allowed to follow, for Father-in-law Su, he can't feel at ease when he can't see the emperor's face, so he often has to wait for the master to return to the palace of raising his heart.

"I just talked to Su in the Imperial Garden, don't make a fuss and think I'm missing at every turn. I'm a little hungry, so you go to the imperial dining room and make some snacks and two bowls of peony porridge. ”

The whole world is not the king's land, the emperor is depressed, he sits on the whole world, is it possible that he can still plant his head in his own palace, what happened? This Su Peisheng is really too worried!

The emperor thought for a while, and then followed, "By the way, Su promised to like sweets, and remember to make one of the bowls of peony porridge extra sweet." ”

Su Peisheng looked at the emperor in a daze, raised his eyes and glanced at the cuttlefish, and his surprise was inadvertently revealed, the emperor rarely eats with the concubine in the Yangxin Palace, at most only the queen and Concubine Xi can have this honor, how has it changed today.

The doubts were only left in his heart, and Gonggong Su didn't dare to ask more, so he replied respectfully, "Hey, the old slave will arrange it." ”

The cuttlefish and the emperor sat on the couch of the East Warm Pavilion in the main hall, and there was a golden silk nanmu kang table in front of him, and the emperor was tired of the cumbersome dining rules, so he had always only eaten here, and temporarily abolished those messy processes, and paid attention to a qiē from the simple.

After less than half an hour, all kinds of food with all kinds of colors and flavors were presented, presumably because of the preparations in advance, so many delicate and delicious dishes could be made in such a short time.

Cuttlefish sighed, the imperial dining room really deserves its name, far from being comparable to the dining room in his palace, the emperor's food and clothing have always been served by hundreds of people, no wonder there is a saying among the people, the heavenly immortal mansion, the earth god king's family, everyone wants to be the emperor, it naturally makes sense.

The emperor saw the cuttlefish staring straight at the table, and thought that she must be hungry, so he said, "Taste this porridge while it's hot, it's not to your taste, the hour is not early, you must be like me, so hungry that your chest is against your back." ”

The cuttlefish picked up the spoon and replied truthfully, "Actually, the concubine has already eaten it in the morning, but now that she sees such a delicacy, she can't help but want to eat some more." ”

After that, the cuttlefish unceremoniously took a big bite to eat, this was the first time she tasted this peony porridge, and she couldn't help but be curious.

Peony porridge is to add an appropriate amount of water to white peony and jujube, and put in japonica rice, first boil over high heat and then change to low heat to boil into thin porridge, and an appropriate amount of maltose can be added when eating, which has the effect of nourishing yin and soft liver.

The emperor laughed, just this gobbling up food, and still said that he was not hungry? I wanted to make a few jokes, but I thought of the cuttlefish's previous reminder, so I gave up again, saving her from getting angry when she ate and hurting her spleen and stomach.

"Su promised to feel what, my breakfast has always been light, I don't know if you like to eat it."

Cuttlefish counted carefully, there were no less than ten kinds of food on the table, there were almond tea, beef bone marrow tea soup, sesame sauce baked cakes, shortbread baked cakes, white horseshoe, radish shredded cakes, clear oil cakes, coke rings, sugar packets, sugar cakes, there are also halal fried dumplings, fried back, there are vegetarian assortments of soy products, even braised duck liver, braised chicken breast, where is this light and tasteless? It's sumptuous.

The cuttlefish eats people's soft mouths, and does not dare to choke unbridledly, swallows the porridge in his mouth, and replied, "The concubine is never picky eaters, these are very palatable, especially this peony porridge and baked cakes, the taste is sweet but not greasy, and it is very good, and it is most suitable for eating in the morning." ”

The emperor was accustomed to eating these things, and did not feel that there was anything precious, so he generously ordered, "Since you are very fond of these two dishes, then I will reward the eunuch in charge of porridge and baked cakes in Changchun Palace, so that you can have a delicious breakfast every day." ”

This reward is indeed very special and thoughtful, in line with the preference of the cuttlefish, but she does not dare to accept it lightly.

The cuttlefish put down the spoon in his hand and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace, the concubine understands your good intentions, but the concubine wants to dare to beg you to take back the reward for the time being." ”

The emperor was puzzled, it was just an ordinary reward, why not accept it, couldn't help frowning, and immediately asked, "You can take it back, but you have to give me a reason, why do you want to do this?" ”

Of course, there is a reason, otherwise who would refuse the reward related to eating.

"Concubines are not stupid people, and naturally know that the grace of the Holy Grace is a great honor, and they should not shirk it in vain. It's just that only the concubines in the Changchun Palace live alone, and they really don't need too many people, and if there are two or three eunuchs who are ready to eat, it will be too extravagant, which not only does not match the diligence and thrift you have always adhered to, but also makes others feel that the concubines are too squeamish and make a fuss. The cuttlefish gave a polite reason for refusing, in fact, she just didn't want to get favor and attract people's eyes, so as not to attract attention and jealousy.

These words were reasonable, and the emperor nodded convincingly, "You are right, it is rare that you are delicate and thoughtful, very good." ”

Cuttlefish Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile, "Emperor Lao cares, in fact, the dining room in Changchun Palace is also good, and the concubines can eat a lot of delicious meals every day, which is very satisfying." ”

This is true, although Xiao Anzi and Xiao Yuezi are not as skilled as the kitchen servants and the eunuchs in the imperial dining room, they are not too much different, at least they are honest and obedient with all their hearts, and the dishes they make are all in line with the requirements of cuttlefish, and they can't find the slightest mistake.

The emperor saw that the cuttlefish put away his sharp teeth and spoke well, and he couldn't help but praise it in his heart.

Unconsciously, the emperor had forgotten the identity of the cuttlefish, and he had long lost the suspicion he had at the beginning, he was just thinking about how good it would be if the concubines in the palace who loved life could be as sensible as the cuttlefish, and he would be able to work less on this useless trivial matter, such as the Gu family of Zhongcui Palace.

The emperor didn't know that at this time when he was in a good mood, Gu Changzai from the Yiyuan Hall of Zhongcui Palace began to make trouble like crazy again, and he had to meet the emperor to complain about his grievances.
