Chapter 263:-for-tat
The emperor looked at Shen Man'er in surprise, and couldn't help but dig another spoonful before asking.
"Shen Man'er, what is this you gave me food?"
Shen Man'er knew that the emperor would definitely like it, and her favorite thing in her previous life was to eat a bowl of cold shaved ice in the summer.
"Back to the emperor, this is called shaved ice, which is mainly made of ice, milk and various fruits, and the courtiers also added mung beans to cool off the heat. Eating a bowl in the summer is especially good for relieving the heat. But because there is ice in it, it is not advisable to eat too much. ”
"You said there was ice in it, no wonder it was so cool, but where did you get this ice? ”
Shen Man'er scratched her head embarrassedly, this is her trade secret.
"Back to the emperor, this ice was made by me through a special method, and I still want to make money from this in the future, so can you not say it. ”
The emperor also understood Shen Man'er's concerns, and after digging a spoonful again, he looked at the shaved ice in his hand and was stunned.
Shen Man'er looked at the emperor, and saw that after he ate a few bites, he was reluctant to eat, did the emperor think that he had just made this bowl.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers have made a lot of food, and I promise you to eat enough, so you can eat boldly and boldly. ”
The emperor was pulled back to his thoughts by Shen Man'er, and laughed, this girl, do you think she is reluctant to eat.
"Well, it does taste good. ”
Emperor Xie praised him. Shen Man'er stood aside and laughed happily.
"You just said there were a lot of them?"
"Well, if it's stored properly, it's enough for the emperor to eat for a month. ”
"Hehe, if I eat this every day, I must eat it and my stomach will be ruined. ”
"Hehe, the courtiers forgot. Shen Man'er stood aside and smiled embarrassedly.
"Since you've done a lot, Father-in-law Fu, you go to the side hall to call the prince, and then go to the harem to invite the queen and them, come and taste this little girl's shaved ice"
The emperor ordered to go down, and immediately someone went everywhere to spread the message, but Shen Man'er was a little cramped standing in place.
It's okay to serve the emperor alone, but if all the emperor's wives come, how can I take care of it.
The emperor looked at Shen Man'er's awkward appearance, thinking that it was this girl, because he wanted to see all the ladies in the harem, he was afraid.
"Man'er, you also sit down, when Che'er comes, let Che'er accompany you, don't worry about the queen and them, there will be someone to serve them." ”
"Yes. ”
Shen Man'er found a place to sit behind the emperor, expecting Xuanyuan Che to come over quickly.
In the harem, the queen is the biggest, and it is naturally the queen who walks in the front, followed by the newly sealed Ice Emperor concubine, and then the Jade Emperor concubine, the German Emperor concubine and other concubines, but the strange thing is that Bing'er was supported by the queen.
The emperor didn't expect Bing'er to come over, thinking of her weak body now, he immediately stepped forward to support her and sat next to him.
The Empress naturally sat down on the other side of the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what the emperor called his concubines and others to come to. ”
"Queen, it was Shen Man'er from the Prime Minister's Mansion who made me a kind of food, and it was the first time I had eaten it in my life, so I called everyone here to taste it. ”
"Oh, it turned out that Miss Shen made it, so the concubine should taste it. ”
"Man'er, you tell them to bring all the shaved ice. ”
Shen Man'er heard the emperor call her name, and immediately stood up alertly, and was just about to send someone to the imperial dining room to give an order, when she saw Xuanyuan Che leading the people in the imperial dining room and was walking this way.
"Father, the son heard that Man'er made you a kind of food, and invited the queen mother and them to come over, so the son made his own opinion, let them all send it over, and asked the father to forgive the sin. ”
"What is Che'er's crime, my father was about to go to Man'er to deliver a decree to the imperial dining room, and you came just in time. ”
"Come on, bring this shaved ice to all the concubines. ”
Yu Guifei and De Guifei and others, looking at the jade bowl in their hands, did not expect Shen Man'er to do such a thing to please the emperor.
The queen dug a spoonful and looked at the concubines below, she really tasted Baiwei.
"Man'er, your shaved ice is really refreshing, because of the emperor's affairs before, my body was a little unwell, I always felt a fire in my heart, I just ate your shaved ice, I feel much more comfortable. ”
After the queen took a bite, she praised Shen Man'er.
"Queen Mother, you used to be in a hurry, but now the eldest princess has turned to peace, your heart is slowly going down, which is the credit of this bowl of shaved ice. ”
The queen smiled. "Even if it's not because of this bowl of shaved ice, but Le'er was saved by you after all, and to put it mildly, my heart is still thanks to Man'er. ”
"Queen Mother, you have praised it. Shen Man'er said shyly, Mom, she was embarrassed to praise her.
"Queen Mother, isn't it just a bowl of fruit, just with a little ice, how can it be as magical as you say. Yu Guifei stirred the shaved ice in her hand and said disapprerovantly, but so far, she hasn't eaten a bite.
"Oh, Sister Jade is saying I'm lying. ”
The queen said majestically, Shen Man'er was the first time she had seen the queen Fawei, but she didn't expect the queen to be so handsome.
Concubine Yu didn't seem to notice the queen's unkind tone, and said casually.
"The concubine didn't mean this, why did the queen misinterpret what the concubine said, the concubine just felt that what the queen said was exaggerated. ”
"It's an exaggeration? Sister Yu didn't even eat the shaved ice in her hand, why are you exaggerating. The queen said mockingly.
When Concubine Yu heard the queen's words, she stirred in her hand and put the jade bowl on the stone table.
"The concubine was rude, but before the concubine came, she just drank the sour plum soup to cool off the heat, so the concubine really couldn't eat it. ”
"Since you can't eat it, don't eat it. The queen continued to eat the shaved ice in her hand, not caring at all about Concubine Yu's ugly face at this time.
"Your Majesty, Bing'er sat for a while, and it was a little hot, since Yu Guifei didn't want to eat it, how about the emperor give Yu Guifei's bowl to his concubines. ”
The emperor looked at Bing'er and just said a few words, and his face was already pale.
"Bing'er, the shaved ice is too cold, your current body is not suitable for consumption, besides, if you are willing to eat, there is still a royal dining room, why bother to eat other people's leftovers. ”
Concubine Yu originally thought that the queen's words were enough to embarrass herself, but she didn't expect what the emperor said to make her even more sad. It turns out that he is now in the emperor's heart, just an inconsequential person.
"Your Majesty, since Concubine Bing is willing to eat, let the concubine give it to her. ”
"Thank you, sister, it's just that I'm willing to eat this shaved ice, not because my sister doesn't want to eat it, but because it's Miss Shen's heart.
Miss Shen worked hard to make such an ingenious meal for the emperor, she must have hoped that the emperor would be happy to eat, and the concubine just didn't want to live up to Miss Shen's heart.
Your Majesty, you better let Bing'er eat it. ”
Bing'er said this, and the emperor couldn't stop her, so he could only tell her again and again to taste it.
Bing'er complained in her heart, taste it, she has nothing to do, she just watched you eat, but she didn't have her share, she was about to die.
"Sister, what the emperor said is very true, your heart, Man'er will definitely understand, you are not feeling well, it is better to eat less. ”
"Queen Xie. ”
