Chapter 100: Openness and Honesty (1)
"I'm afraid it's not a coincidence that the emperor came up." Looking at Long Zeye now, Jian Ning can no longer be as plain as before. Under such circumstances, she was still a little dissatisfied with entering the palace in such an identity, so she naturally didn't want Long Zeye to have a better time now.
And what she was most angry about was that Long Zeye knew Yiqiē at the beginning, why did he pretend not to know her? Although strictly speaking, she is no longer the Jian Ning she used to be, but in the eyes of everyone, she is the Jian Ning.
"The emperor also saw it, everyone was busy cleaning up the house, and they really couldn't spare their hands to clean the small kitchen, and this Yuqing Xiaozhu didn't have anything to cook for the emperor to eat." Jian Ning rejected Long Zeye without hesitation.
Xiaofuzi and Qingzhi watched from the sidelines, beating the drum in their hearts, Niangniang did this, which inevitably made the emperor too unable to come to the stage. According to the emperor's temper, even if he doesn't punish Niangniang, I'm afraid he won't come to Niangniang's side to eat again in the future.
"What's so difficult about this, isn't this Yuqing Xiaozhu on the edge of the imperial dining room, I have already asked Fan Defu to inform the imperial dining room, and now the entire imperial dining room is for your use." Long Zeye said with a smile in his eyes.
"The emperor is really thoughtful!" Jian Ning gritted her teeth and said.
Looking at Jian Ning's aggrieved look of daring to be angry and not daring to speak, Long Zeye was suddenly in a good mood. No matter what, he has patience, and he believes that in the end, Jian Ning will willingly stay by his side.
"Your Majesty, I'm used to using my own things, and I didn't bring my knives when I went out this time, so I'm afraid the emperor will have to wait for a while, and then I'll wait until I send someone to get the knives back." Jian Ning saw that this reason failed, and immediately found another reason.
Halfway through Jian Ning's words, Xiao Fuzi was beside her and squeezed her eyebrows.
When Jian Ning finally finished speaking, Xiao Fuzi immediately reminded Jian Ning in a whisper: "Niangniang, in front of the emperor, you have to call yourself a 'concubine'." You can't use 'my'. ”
Jian Ning frowned and glanced at Xiao Fuzi, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Although she is not from this era, she still understands this rule.
But she has her self-esteem. She didn't want to call herself a "concubine", because both of these words were extremely unequal. Especially that she didn't want to be this "concubine" at all.
Long Zeye's internal strength is excellent. No matter how whispered Xiaofuzi is, he can hear it. Looking at the undisguised disgust in Jian Ning's eyes, Long Zeye said lightly: "If you don't want to, in the future, if there are no outsiders, I don't have to guard those red tapes in the palace." ”
"Also, before Aifei said that it was because she didn't have the tools she was used to, so she didn't want to cook, if it was because of this, then there would be no problem. When Concubine Ai was preparing for the wedding banquet before, I saw that Concubine Ai's set of knives was very delicate and practical. So he also ordered someone to make an identical set, and now it is in the imperial dining room. ”
When Jian Ning heard this, she was so shocked that her jaw was about to fall. Does Long Zeye have the ability to be an unpredictable prophet? It's all ready!
"Qingzhi, go find a simple outfit and come over." Jian Ning had no choice, so she had to take a sense of resentment and tell Qing Zhi to prepare.
The gorgeous dress I am wearing now is beautiful, but it is not practical. It's really worn by women who have nothing to do all day, if they have to work, or cook or something. It has to be changed.
"Yes, the slave will go and prepare for the mother." Qingzhi saw that Niangniang finally compromised, and the emperor was not angry. Immediately went down happily.
Jian Ning entered the inner room, and under the service of Qing Zhi, she changed her clothes, removed the cumbersome Zhu Hai on her head, and simply pulled up her hair with a silver hairpin, and walked out refreshed.
Seeing such a Jian Ning, Long Zeye felt that it was even more beautiful and moving than the gorgeous dress he was wearing just now.
"Qingzhi, you stay here, and work with Xiaofuzi to clean up everything that should be cleaned up." After Jian Ning was ready. Explained to Qingzhi.
Then he took Qianlan and went to the imperial dining room with Long Zeye.
The imperial dining room had already been cleaned up under Fan Chengfu's orders. Except for Yao Imperial Chef, who is usually in charge of the emperor's meals, and a few who are in charge. The rest were ordered to step aside.
Naturally, because of this order, the dinner time of the entire palace was disrupted.
For these condensations, I directly skipped them. Anyway, it was Long Zeye's idea, and he was on top of it when the sky fell.
When they arrived at the imperial dining room, everyone inevitably saluted again. After finally finishing, Jian Ning smiled and said hello to Yao Yuchu, then walked directly to the ingredient rack, picked out a few high-quality ingredients, and immediately started to make them.
Although it hasn't been moved for a long time, Jian Ning's knife work is still so fast that people are impressed, and it is also very handy when stir-frying. Compared with being this concubine Yi who is now red in everyone's eyes, she likes the identity of this chef even more.
After almost a stick of incense, the two dishes fried by Jian Ning were brought to Long Zeye.
Jian Ning wiped her hands and said, "Okay, it's up to you to eat wherever you want." ”
Long Zeye glanced at Jian Ning and the two dishes with some disgust, and immediately said dissatisfied: "As the emperor, I must have eight dishes, one soup and one dessert for every meal, do you want to send me away with these two dishes?" ”
The people in the imperial dining room didn't dare to come out, listening to the emperor's words, the whole heart was raised, if the emperor was angry at this time, it was estimated that the entire imperial dining room should be unlucky.
"Your Majesty, as far as you just said, there are two things you need to figure out. First, the eight dishes, one soup and one dessert you eat every day are the business of the imperial chef in the imperial dining room, not the business of me, the concubine. Second, these two dishes are often eaten by the emperor on weekdays, so how can I say it. Jian Ning replied unceremoniously.
Today she was busy moving, and she had been busy all day. I bumped into Ai Duoer again just now, and I was already tired, and I didn't have the leisure to serve this emperor anymore.
In front of so many people in the imperial dining room, Long Zeye's face was a little unbearable.
Fan Chengfu saw that things were a little embarrassing, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the time for this dinner has been delayed for a long time, and Aunt Hebi around the Empress Dowager has come to urge. If you don't let everyone prepare, I'm afraid everyone in this harem will be hungry."
"Just now, the slave has already sent someone to the ward Yuqing Xiaozhu's people to clean the small kitchen first. The emperor and the mother might as well move away. ”
Fan Chengfu is really an old man who has served the two emperors, knowing the entire palace, Long Zeye may only care about the Empress Dowager. As soon as the words came out, he not only gave Long Zeye the steps down, but also allowed the work of the imperial dining room to continue.
After all, the harem has always had a strict schedule, and if the dinner time is too late, then the rest of the matter will be disrupted, and the entire harem will inevitably be in trouble again.
Long Zeye and Jian Ning then went back to Yuqing Xiaozhu, in the small kitchen, Long Zeye let everyone wait outside, and Dudu and Jian Ning stayed in the house.
Jian Ning felt a little uncomfortable, and in order to avoid embarrassment, she prepared to eat wholeheartedly. Anyway, I'm hungry, so I just want to make myself something to eat.
"Don't you have any questions for me?" After looking at Jian Ning for a long time, Long Zeye said lightly.
Jian Ning noticed very sensitively that this time, Long Zeye actually didn't call himself "I", was he ready to talk to her on an equal footing?
"The emperor is still more accustomed to using 'I'." Jian Ning said while kneading the dough.
The small kitchen is no better than the imperial dining room, and for convenience, Jian Ning only asked people to bring some ingredients needed to make cakes. I haven't eaten cake for a long time, and I really miss it.
"Does Ning'er have to talk to me like that? Are you blaming me for not keeping my promise? Long Zeye suddenly broke Jian Ning's body and made her look at him.
Looking at such a Long Zeye Jian Ning had a moment of obsession, no matter what, Long Zeye looked superb. Looking at yourself with such affection, talking so gently, how many women can not be moved.
"The Emperor"
Jian Ning had just spit out two words before being interrupted by Long Zeye, "I want you to call me Yunhua, except for the time when I was a child, you never called this name again." ”
Although Jian Ning had a moment of obsession, she still had her senses. After staring at each other for a long time, he slowly took away Long Zeye's hand that was holding his shoulder, and said, "Your Majesty, although you and I have experienced life and death, it is just a coincidence. And time will change a lot of things, you are no longer the boy you were now, and I am no longer the ignorant Jian Ning at the beginning. So, you don't have to have a result between you and me, and you don't have to think about the promise you made at the beginning. ”
"No, it's because of these coincidences that we are destined for destiny. Although I am not that teenager now, I have never changed my heart for you. Long Zeye immediately denied Jian Ning's words.
Jian Ning looked at Long Zeye's appearance, and felt a little guilty in her heart. What she said just now was actually telling him that she was no longer the woman he had promised.
He and Jian Ning are actually inseparable, otherwise, this will make Jian Ning die at such an age.
"Ning'er, are you saying this to push me away? So, you still blame me. Long Zeye's eyes flashed with nervousness and uneasiness, "Do you blame me for not showing up when you needed help the most?" Do you blame me for giving the queen to another woman, and cruelly letting you prepare the wedding banquet with your own hands? Do you blame me for forcing you into the palace with such despicable means now? ”
Jian Ning listened to Long Zeye's words, but in fact, there was a lot of impetus in her heart. Whether it was for herself or for the dead soul, she had resented Long Zeye in her heart.
"Yes, I did resent you once, and I know that I can't let go of it now, and I don't even know how to face you and how to get along with you." Jian Ning thought that some problems would eventually have to be faced in the future, so it was better to take this opportunity to spread out all the problems and explain them. (To be continued) R466
