"If you want to enjoy the spiritual meal, you must first bathe and fast, make offerings to the ingredients, find a beautiful place, go to the ingredients yourself, and then invite the purest people to cook the food, so that it is possible to make the spiritual meal."

Old Zhu Hei's face wrinkled, "Such trouble? Could it be that what I ate back then was also made by the old woman? ”

"Old woman? Isn't it a fairy girl? Anyway, grandpa used to teach Weichen to do this, and he still misses it, and he doesn't know anything else. ”

Ma Du said and licked his lips with his tongue again, and Lao Zhu's Adam's apple couldn't help but move, "Well, then try it, Xuanzhong, you don't have to go home, personally arrange for me, I want to taste this so-called spiritual meal is the bowl of rice I ate before." ”

Ma Du got up and flicked the sleeves of his robe, "Weichen will not be dishonored!" ”

Then Ma Du did not go home, and lived directly in the palace, of course, not in the harem, and built a grass shed between the Huagai Hall and the Jinshen Palace, although it was simple, the emperor himself slept with him.

For two days in a row, Lao Zhu was belly with honey and fruits, and he didn't feel hungry, and on the third day, he began to go to the thatched house frequently, and when he came back from his hand, he couldn't wait to ask: "In the morning, I felt that the taste of the honey water was wrong, what did you add to me." ”

"I didn't add anything, just a small pinch of croton powder, just a little!"

Lao Zhu angrily reprimanded: "Bastard, you dare to give me laxatives, no wonder I ran to the thatched house four or five times this day." ”

"This is a mistake, laxatives are also medicines, and if they are used well, they will not hurt the body, and Your Majesty will not be uncomfortable. These dosages were set after I asked a few imperial doctors. They are cowards, and when they heard that Wei Chen was going to give you laxatives, they were frightened and considered again. Wechen also does this to clean your stomach and refresh your stomach, so that you can better taste the delicious food of the spiritual meal. ”

Lao Zhu snorted heavily, "If you don't have my appetite, I'll settle accounts with you!" ”

"Hey...... Your Majesty will be satisfied, Your Majesty should go to bed early, and we will have to get up early tomorrow to hurry. After Ma Du finished speaking, he put a piece of osmanthus duck into his mouth under Lao Zhu's jealous gaze, chewing it and chirping.

Lao Zhu glanced at him and wrapped himself in a blanket and fell on the bamboo bed, but the tempting smell of meat still kept drilling into his nose, he was indeed a little hungry at this time, he wanted to eat meat and want to eat, but he couldn't pull it down, otherwise wouldn't his words and deeds a few days ago seem to be coy, and he would be despised by this bastard in his heart.

He took a few deep breaths and suffocated it into his stomach, and after a while, the hunger in his stomach was gone, but he didn't expect that the method he had used for many years was still useful, he breathed more and more evenly, and it didn't take long for him to make a sweet snoring sound.

Yuansheng sat on the edge of the bamboo bed, gently fanned Lao Zhu with a Luo fan, saw that Lao Zhu was asleep, put down the pu fan, sat on the edge of Ma Du and picked up a bowl of sour plum soup on the small table, drank it cleanly, and said softly: "Happy!" ”

"Come, come, come! Yuansheng's father-in-law eats another piece of meat! Ma Du added a piece of duck neck and handed it to Yuan Sheng.

Yuan Sheng waved his hand, "The emperor has been hungry for the past three days, how can the slaves and maids eat." ”

"Heh, you're really a loyal slave, then I won't force you." Ma Du took the duck's neck with both hands and gnawed slowly, and Yuan Sheng suddenly came over with his ear, "Uncle Guo, what do you want to do?" ”

Ma Du turned around and said in a very low voice: "Nonsense, of course it's for the emperor to treat his illness, do you think there really is any spiritual food?" ”

Yuan Sheng pouted and shook his head slightly, "It's not like, the slave knows what kind intentions you have, what bad ideas you have in your heart, it's for the mother." ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense about the friendship between the Marquis and His Majesty!"

"You don't say that the slave can also be seen, the emperor just wants to eat the authentic jade and white jade soup, otherwise the emperor's wisdom will be fooled by you, if the emperor starts a fire, don't blame the old slave for not pleading for you!"

This sleep is very sound, Lao Zhu doesn't remember how long he hasn't slept so sweetly, since the Hu Weiyong case, he has often had nightmares, plus he has to review and read endlessly every day and is tired, not only the hidden disease recurs, but even the appetite for eating, and he feels tired of seeing everything.

In the past three days, according to Ma Du's instructions, he bathed and fasted, and only drank honey and fruit every day, and he really felt a lot more relaxed, especially today when he went to the thatched house several times, and he still had a sense of hunger, and in his dream he saw his mother-in-law who gave him pearl jade and white jade soup many years ago, and he came to him with a bowl with a smile, and he couldn't wait to reach out to pick it up.

But the old woman immediately turned into a disgusting face, and said with a smile: "It's not too early for the emperor, it's time to get up!" ”

"It's not too early for the emperor, it's time to get up!" Ma Du gently pushed Lao Zhu's shoulder, "It's almost time, it's time for us to go!" ”

"Got it!" Lao Zhu got up from the bed unhappily and wiped his stomach, "Yuansheng gives me ...... Dress and wash! ”

"Your Majesty, it's been ready for a long time!" Yuan Sheng immediately brought a basin of water and green salt for the clean mouth.

After Lao Zhu finished washing, Ma Du handed over a tray, "Your Majesty, please wear this!" ”

The tray was not a dragon robe, but a set of cloth clothes and linen shoes, Lao Zhu couldn't help but smile when he saw it, "Is the hat on the table also prepared for me?" I wore this outfit when I traveled out, but I was still missing a walking stick! ”

"Really? That's really a coincidence, when grandpa took Weichen to cook a spiritual meal, he was also dressed like this. If Your Majesty wants a cane, he will cut one for you when he turns around. ”

"Whatever!" Lao Zhu didn't let people serve him skillfully dressed, "I'm ready, let's go." ”

"Wait!" Ma Du walked to the offering table outside the shed, took a large cloth bag and hugged it to Lao Zhu, "These are ingredients, whether you can eat spiritual food or not depends on it." ”

Lao Zhu frowned and said, "Didn't these ingredients be left outside for three days?" I'm afraid it's not new. ”

Where is it not fresh, some ingredients are obviously rancid, such as tofu and pot, but Lao Zhu can't smell it by wrapping it in oiled paper.

Ma Du only said: "Your Majesty just has to carry it on your back, and then Weichen will definitely satisfy Your Majesty's desire for oral happiness." ”

"Why don't you carry it?"

"It's Your Majesty who wants to eat, and it's not Weichen who wants to eat, only if you carry it yourself, you don't show sincerity."

"Carry it on your back!" Lao Zhu stretched out his hand to take it, and just picked it up but suddenly drooped down, "How many things did you put in it, are you a pig?" ”

"These things are all fixed, for example, cabbage nine catties nine taels nine nine dollars, tofu eight catties eight taels eight cents, the same is true for others, how much you have to bring on the table, Your Majesty is not willing to carry it, you can give it to others, if the spiritual food made is not to your taste, don't complain about the minister."

Lao Zhu stretched out his hand and checked it, "It's only about thirty pounds, and it's not that I can't carry it!" As he spoke, he carried the burden behind him, skillfully knotted it on his chest, buckled the hat on his head, and walked out of the palace with his head held high.

Ma Du and Yuan Sheng, who had already changed his clothes, hurriedly followed behind, Han Cheng and a group of Jinyi guards who had changed into civilian clothes waited outside the palace gate, and when they saw Lao Zhu coming over, they immediately followed and guarded the front and back.

There were not many people on the street, and everyone quickly walked through the streets and alleys from the Zhengyang Gate that had just been opened out of the city, and Lao Zhu was about to go to Fangshan with his burden.

Ma Du hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, you are going in the wrong direction!" ”

Lao Zhu kept at his feet, "What's wrong, this is going to Fang Mountain." ”

"No, no, no, Fang Shan used to be quite beautiful, but now there are too many people living there, and it is no longer suitable."

"If you don't say it earlier if you want to go to Zhongshan, you have to turn around!"

Ma Du shook his head again and again, "It's not Zhongshan, the place we're going to is Maoshan!" ”

Lao Zhu stumbled heavily when he heard this, and almost fell to the ground.
