Zhu Xu was in a happy mood, but Zeng Rong was really embarrassed.

To do something for the emperor, she has to make him happy, with her ability, what can she do for him?

Her strength is embroidery, but this is definitely not what the emperor wants, and she can't handle calligraphy and painting, and cooking skills are not her strength.

What's left? Serving meals, this is not new, I have done it many times, and the emperor will definitely not look down on it.

Play with, what to play?

Zeng Rong shook his head again, the emperor is a big man, and he is so old, how could he agree to play with her little girl?

It can't be done to eat and play together, and it seems that there is only one left to sleep with.

Sleeping together? Zeng Rong was startled by these two words, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle and stroked his chest.

That's not right, why use her to sleep with?

Could it be that the emperor meant this, asking her to find Zheng Jiao?

But that's too risky, isn't it? It's okay to guess right, but what if you guess wrong?

Mistakes again and again, can she bear the consequences?

Zhu Xu glanced at Zeng Rong, and saw that she was still kneeling on the ground, muttering in her mouth, shaking her head and nodding her head for a while, and even having a frightened and self-comforting look, he hurriedly turned around and coughed twice to hide the smile on his face.

This cough reminded Zeng Rong that she was still kneeling on the ground.

So, she hurriedly got up, walked to the door, and was just about to ask Chang Dezi for advice, when there was another cough behind her, and Chang Dezi shook her head helplessly.

"Hmph, isn't it just doing one thing, I don't believe I can't think of it." Zeng Rong went out angrily.

In fact, she already had an idea.

She first went to Xingdao to pick up Zheng Jiao, took Zheng Jiao's own peach blossom wine, and then the two entered the imperial dining room together, each picked two hometown dishes, and picked a smoked chicken and a smoked rabbit from the dishes made by the imperial kitchen, and after making up six dishes, Zeng Rong asked the imperial chef for two food boxes, and ordered the two little eunuchs to carry them, and she herself carried the peach blossom wine into the other garden.

As for Zheng Jiao, she temporarily returned to Zeng Rong's residence and waited.

When the emperor saw Zeng Rong come in with a jar of wine, his brows suddenly twisted into a Sichuan character, and Zeng Rong hurriedly said before he spoke: "Back to the emperor, this is not ordinary wine, I am sure you haven't drunk it, but I begged people for a long time to ask for such an altar." ”

Zhu Xu was interrupted by Zeng Rongyi, but forgot to lecture her, and asked casually: "What wine haven't I drunk?" ”

"Don't you believe it? If you can tell what kind of wine this is, you will lose and accept the punishment. On the contrary, the lower official won, and the previous account was written off. Zeng Rong held the altar and looked at the emperor steadily.

Zhu Xu didn't really want to punish her, and Zeng Rong didn't hide what he did, so he gave Zeng Rong this step and promised her.

"Gentleman, you are the emperor." After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he gave the jar to Xiao Quanzi and asked him to help open the sealing mud on the jar.

While waiting, Zeng Rong brought out the dishes in the food box, six dishes, two cold dishes were served with wine, Zeng Rong made two dishes that were small fried fish, spicy, a loofah fish ball soup, Zheng Jiao made a Longjing shrimp and a sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Your Majesty, these four dishes are made by myself, and these two dishes are made by the imperial chef." Zeng Rong pointed to the dishes on the table and said.

"You did it yourself?" Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't break her.

"The emperor didn't say that he wouldn't help, right? Hehe, Xia Guan found a helper. Zeng Rong grinned.

But it happened that Xiaoquanzi came over with the wine jar, Zeng Rong took the wine jar, and suddenly, a smell of wine mixed with the fragrance of flowers came to his nose, this smell immediately attracted Zhu Xu, mainly because he was preconceived, I don't believe that Zeng Rong can really take out the wine he hasn't drunk, how can there be any wine in the palace that he hasn't drunk?

But he really hadn't smelled it.

Zeng Rong smiled, still holding the wine jar and not letting go, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the secret is in the wine jar, you wait for the lower officials to scoop out the wine before guessing." ”

Zhu Xu didn't say anything, but gave Zeng Rong a look of contempt, Zeng Rong didn't pay attention to it, took a bamboo spoon and skimmed the petals from the jar, scooped a spoonful of wine into a white porcelain bowl, and then brought the bowl to the emperor.

Zhu Xu picked up the bowl and looked at it carefully, and saw that the color was ruddy, smelled sweet, and had a faint floral fragrance, which was indeed different from the wine he drank in the past.

Reminiscent of Zeng Rong saying a few days ago that he took a lot of plums from Miss Qian to make herbal tea, Zhu Xu blurted out: "Shouldn't it be a plum bar?" ”

Seeing Zeng Rong shaking his head, Zhu Xu asked again: "Plum blossom brew?" ”

"No, Your Majesty, you lost." Zeng Rong hurriedly said.

The other party even guessed the plum blossom brew, and next time it is estimated that it will be the peach blossom brew, and she can't afford to lose.

"What kind of wine is it?" After Zhu Xu asked, he picked up the bowl and tasted it, tasted it carefully for a while, looked at Zeng Rong and asked, "Peach blossom wine?" ”

"It's the emperor in the end, I guessed it when I tasted it. Fortunately, Xia Guan only gave you a second chance. Zeng Rong smiled happily.

"Without further ado, scoop up the wine." Zhu Xu sat down.

This wine has a sweet taste and a sweet aftertaste, Zhu Xu's interest was aroused, and then I heard that this dish was made by Zeng Rong himself, it is rare for a girl to have this filial piety, and he will not be as knowledgeable as her.

Zeng Rong was afraid that he would hurt himself by drinking on an empty stomach, so he did not rush to scoop wine for him, but first scooped him a bowl of loofah fish ball soup, and only after he drank half a bowl of soup and ate a few fish balls did Zeng Rong start to scoop wine for him.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Xu remembered and asked, "Who made this wine?" ”

"Back to the emperor, a friend of the lower officials." Zeng Rong finally waited for this sentence, it was not easy.

"Friends? Where did you get it in such a short period of time? You weren't hiding it before, were you? Zhu Xu deliberately glanced at Zeng Rong and asked.

"Back to the emperor, how can you? However, this wine is indeed made by the lower officials, this wine has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, nourishing blood and nourishing qi, and you can drink half a bowl every day. Zeng Rong accidentally said it.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Xu heard "invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, replenishing blood and nourishing qi", he put down the wine in his hand and stared at Zeng Rong with a bit of inquiry.

"Back to the emperor, when a woman reaches a certain age, her face will turn yellow and her blood will be insufficient, wouldn't it be better to prevent it in advance?" After Zeng Rong realized his mistake, he quickly found a new explanation.

"When a man reaches a certain age, he will also lack qi and blood, and he will get tired easily." Zhu Xu believed Zeng Rong's statement and refuted.

"See, this jar of wine is yours. But the emperor, can the lower officials dare to ask for a reward, not for the lower officials, but for the hard-working brewers. Zeng Rong saw that the temptation was almost over, and dared to make a request.

She didn't believe that she took Zheng Jiao to be busy in the imperial dining room for an afternoon, and the emperor would know nothing, and this Longjing shrimp, an obvious Hangzhou dish, the emperor ate several bites but didn't ask anything, so Zeng Rong dared to guess that he had already seen a mirror in his heart.
