Chapter 216, abnormal
Just when Zeng Rong was trembling and standing in front of the edge of the kang, Zhu Xu pointed to the ten dishes on the kang table and said, "You can taste all these ten dishes and see which one is suitable for me." ”
The waiter eunuch next to him listened, and this time he didn't need to be reminded by others, so he hurriedly picked up the dishes and chopsticks that Zeng Rong had used before, took out some food from the nearby plate, and brought it to Zeng Rong.
"The emperor, the lower official, the lower official is just one... Zeng Rong spoke with difficulty.
She was afraid that if the other party turned around and felt a little uncomfortable again, she would throw the responsibility on her again, and she was afraid that it would not be as simple as kneeling for two hours.
But halfway through the words, Zeng Rong's afterglow sensed the signal handed by the other party, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly took the eunuch's dishes and chopsticks, "The lower officials are only shallow in learning, if there is a mistake, please ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”
Fortunately, what the eunuch gave Zeng Rong was a dish of tofu, naturally not ordinary tofu, it was a particularly tender crab roe tofu, not to mention the taste, the color alone looks very refreshing, "Emperor Qi, this tofu has a little crab roe added, golden and white, complete in color and fragrance, fresh and tender, you can try it." ”
When the eunuch heard this, he glanced at the emperor, and seeing that the emperor did not object, he picked up the bowl that the emperor had eaten and scooped up a small half bowl and sent it to the emperor.
Zhu Xu picked up the bowl and learned from Zeng Rong to send a spoonful to his mouth, so that the tofu stayed in his mouth for a while, and he also ate the freshness of the crab roe and the smoothness of the tofu.
Next, the eunuch gave Zeng Rong a taste of chicken juice abalone stewed deer tendon, Zeng Rong was fortunate to taste an abalone with a piece of deer tendon, this dish is characterized by salty, fragrant and crispy, under Zeng Rong's introduction, Zhu Xu also tasted an abalone and a piece of deer tendon.
In this way, Zeng Rong introduced the characteristics of this dish every time he ate a dish, and then Zhu Xu also tasted it, and unconsciously, after eating these ten dishes, Zhu Xu's stomach was also seven or eight points full.
Because of his health, the imperial doctor warned him not to be very full at night, so after these ten dishes, he put down his chopsticks and said to Zeng Rong: "These ten dishes, you pick two of your favorites and take them." ”
Remember the URL mom
Uh, let her go so easily this time?
Zeng Rong raised his eyes to look at the other party, and was about to say something, when he saw the other party's gaze coming, Zeng Rong hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, and after getting up, she picked a dish of stewed deer tendon with chicken and abalone and a duck tongue soup.
Chicken abalone stewed deer tendon is a rare ingredient, and the workmanship is also complicated, not something that ordinary people can ask about, she wants to take it back to Cui Yuanhua and Cuckoo to taste together, the duck tongue soup is close, just serve it, and besides, this dish is not a chance for ordinary people to taste, how many ducks do you have to kill?
Seeing that Zeng Rong had picked two dishes, Chang Dezi brought her a food box, and without waiting for her to refuse, he took the food in her hand and put it in the food box.
After taking the food box, Zeng Rong suddenly remembered something, turned around and curtsied to the emperor again: "The lower official retires." ”
When Zhu Xu heard these four words, he twisted his eyebrows slightly, and Chen Xia on the side noticed it, and hurriedly pulled Zheng Jiao to bow down and retreat.
Zeng Rong saw Chen Xia retreat, thinking that he could also leave, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Chang Dezi winking at her and shaking his head slightly.
Zeng Rong had to turn around, and when he saw that the emperor's face seemed to be a little gloomy than before, he understood what he was wrong, and hurriedly took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, but there is still something to tell the lower officials?" ”
"I clearly remember that just now you still claimed that you were a 'slave', why did you change it after going to Cining Palace?" Zhu Xu asked.
When Zeng Rong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Back to the emperor, it was the old man of the Queen Mother who reminded the lower officials." ”
"The Queen Mother?" Zhu Xu was surprised again, what did the queen mother mean, even caring about such a trivial matter? How much does she like this girl?
"What did the Queen Mother say? Who was there at that time? Zhu Xu continued to ask.
"Back to the emperor, only the queen mother and a few palace maids and eunuchs were there, the queen mother asked the emperor what to do with the fish bones and the lower officials, after learning the reason, warned the lower officials and said, whether it is the palace maid or the female official, they should share the worries and solve problems for the master, enlighten the emperor, and the lower officials know that they are wrong, and they must remember the teachings of the queen mother and the emperor's teachings in the future."
"That's it, just your elm brain, I don't have the patience to train you, go ahead." Zhu Xu waved his hand and shook his head in disgust.
Seeing this, Zeng Rong escaped as if he had been amnestied, and he didn't notice the other party's dislike or dislike.
Carrying the food box, Zeng Rong went directly to the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, didn't see Cui Yuanhua and Du Juan, turned around and went back to the three institutes, and was about to take the key to open the door, Zheng Jiao came out of the next room, saying that Du Juan had sent her dinner and put it on Zheng Jiao's side.
Zeng Rong heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Zheng has been available?" ”
Zheng Jiao glanced at the food box in her hand, "I'm using it." ”
"In this case, I will share some of this dish with you, and I will send the rest to Aunt Cui." Zeng Rong said as he carried the food box to enter Zheng Jiao's house.
"No need, it's really not necessary, Aunt Chen and I taste dishes for the emperor every day, and we have tasted hundreds of dishes in the past few days, and there will be more opportunities to try new dishes in the future, you can send them to Aunt Cui."
Zeng Rong saw that the other party was blocking the door, obviously he really didn't want her to enter the house, and besides, Zheng Jiao was also telling the truth, as soon as people gave the emperor a taste, what good things had not been eaten?
So, Zeng Rong turned around again, put down the food box, went to Zheng Jiao's to bring back his regular dishes, and put them in the food box, and then carried the food box to find Cui Yuanhua.
Cui Yuanhua lived in the West Cross Courtyard next to him, and when Zeng Rong entered, Cui Yuanhua had already finished his meal, and he was really a little surprised to see Zeng Rong.
Zeng Rong explained the reason, Cui Yuanhua looked at Zeng Rong with a little bit of research, today's things are too weird, before Zeng Rong came to see her, she was still analyzing the inexplicable aura between the emperor and Zeng Rong.
First of all, it is not normal for the emperor to appoint Zeng Rong to pull out thorns for him today, although Zeng Rong's hands are small, but she is a little girl who is only thirteen years old, and she faces the saint for the first time, how can the emperor believe that she will pull out thorns and how can he believe that she dares to pull thorns from his mouth?
Secondly, she can understand that the emperor punished Zeng Rong for kneeling in anger, but what she didn't understand was that the emperor later ordered Chang Dezi to go to Yaohua Palace to inform Zeng Rong that the time had come, which showed that the emperor had been thinking about Zeng Rong in his heart, and he was afraid that the imperial concubine would continue to embarrass Zeng Rong, so he ordered his most proud eunuch to go over.
Third, it is not normal for the emperor to order Zeng Rong to go to Cining Palace, usually in this case, he sends the eunuchs around him to the past or directly explains to the people from Cining Palace, but the emperor sends a living person alone, which is also too strange.
Before she could analyze these problems, Zeng Rong brought another food box, saying that the emperor rewarded her dishes.
The emperor actually rewarded a young palace maid who was working for the first time with two dishes?
You know, she has been by the emperor's side for almost 20 years, how could the emperor ever give her a special look?
