Chapter 59: Cumin Mutton
Xiao Ling ate a lot of cumin mutton yesterday, and woke up Lu Qingjin early today.
Lu Qingjin rubbed his eyes and sighed helplessly: "Isn't there nothing wrong now?" What are you going to do early in the morning? ”
Xiao Ling was no longer afraid of her after getting along yesterday, and when she heard this, she just sighed and continued to serve her and get dressed. Lu Qingjin is also willing to comply, after all, this little palace maid has always been very reliable, and now there should be something that can't be said like this!
As a result, she knew why as soon as she went out. Qin Zhao stood at the door of her dormitory with a dark face, and snorted coldly when he saw her come out.
Xiao Ling knelt on the ground when he heard this and didn't dare to say more, Qin Zhao looked at the kneeling minions all over the courtyard and said in displeasure: "You guys are so bold!" If I hadn't heard the rumors yesterday, I wouldn't have known that you minions would have dared to eat the food cooked by the queen! ”
Lu Qingjin saluted decently, and the minions in the courtyard all looked at her secretly, probably because they thought that their master would not ignore her, so Qin Zhao was even more angry, when Lu Qingjin rejected him yesterday, he was still worried about whether there was something wrong, and he didn't want this woman to turn around and eat with the minions in the palace by himself.
Lu Qingjin looked at Qin Zhao's bad face and said calmly: "Your Majesty doesn't have to blame these minions, it was the concubines who let them eat, after all, the concubines suddenly wanted to try a new dish on a whim, and for a while, they couldn't give it to Your Majesty when they weren't sure if it was poisonous or not, so the rules were broken." ”
Although on the surface, he said that he broke the rules and was pleading, but in fact, the real meaning was that you wronged me, and Qin Zhao was not a fool, of course he could hear it.
Zhang Dequan didn't look very good, and he was busy playing a round and said with a smile: "It's still a mother's heart, Your Majesty was still talking about it yesterday!" I'm worried that Niangniang is too tired, and I don't want Niangniang to be tired and study new dishes for His Majesty, the old slave is really moved! ”
Qin Zhao's face was a lot better, he cleared his throat and said: "The queen is really good, I don't care, today's breakfast is in the queen's palace."
Lu Qingjin secretly rolled his eyes, after all, it wasn't for the new dishes he researched yesterday, a foodie who wanted to save face!
Qin Zhao triumphantly walked to the dining room and sat down, Lu Qingjin reluctantly went to the kitchen, and Xiao Ling hurriedly followed: "Why don't you come to the slave!" Yesterday, the slave saw what Niangniang did, and now she has learned almost everything. ”
Lu Qingjin didn't expect her to learn so quickly, and wanted her to try it with some novelty, and then thought of Qin Zhao, who was still sitting in the dining room, and shook his head: "Next time!" Now the emperor is still waiting in the palace, and we have to leave the palace today! Can't let him find fault! ”
Xiao Ling nodded and put his hand on the side, Lu Qingjin is perfect with practice, and at the moment, in order to get out of the palace, he worked hard to please the emperor, and made a few small dishes before serving them.
Qin Zhao looked at the dishes on the table and raised his eyebrows: "The queen has something to ask for!" Let's talk about it first! Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to eat this dish. ”
Lu Qingjin smiled a little flatteringly: "Where are you talking, isn't the concubine distressed that the emperor is tired?" But there is still a little thing, that is, the concubine received a letter yesterday, and she had to go out of the palace! ”
Qin Zhao looked like he had expected it, picked up the chopsticks and tasted the cumin mutton first, the cumin grains were so clear that it was not ugly, and hanging on the mutton made up for the fishy taste of the mutton, Qin Zhao's eyes narrowed when he ate, and he didn't care.
He waved his hand while eating: "Go by yourself!" People outside the palace are generally very dangerous, so bring more people if you haven't been in contact with them. ”
Lu Qingjin was a little funny, and he also served a bowl of porridge himself: "That's so terrible, the concubine just goes out for a walk and doesn't go to any dangerous place." ”
Qin Zhao put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "Don't think it's me who scares you, the people outside are really not very good, Dayu has just been founded not long ago, there are always some bad intentions, it is necessary for you to be less careful." ”
Lu Qingjin promised that she didn't think so, after all, she was not a sweetheart, but what happened later taught her a lesson, she didn't know it at the moment, and she didn't have the heart to eat happily.
Qin Zhao had almost eaten, took a sip of tea and said slowly, "What is this mutton made of?" I eat very differently! ”
Lu Qingjin grinned, and said in his heart that you only remembered to ask after you finished eating, and replied honestly: "Your Majesty also knows, this is the cumin powder that is usually used, but these are not processed." ”
Qin Zhao's expression lit up suddenly: "In other words, this cumin can be eaten, it's useless, right?" ”
Lu Qingjin saw that his reaction was a little strange, but he still nodded and said: "That's true, and cumin is also very good for the body when eaten in moderation, it turned out that the concubine forgot about it, and it was even more appropriate when it was barbecued, I don't know what's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”
Qin Zhao looked at the cumin mutton on the table, his expression was complicated and happy: "Now the country is lacking these things, although we are dispensable, if it is in the hands of the people, this is a way to make a fortune!" I still want to thank you! ”
This is the first time that Lu Qingjin feels that this emperor is a patriot and a lover of the people, usually this person has always been a face-loving death, and he can't imagine that he is quite attractive when he is serious!
Zhang Dequan coughed lightly to remind Lu Qingjin who was distracted, Lu Qingjin realized that he was distracted by Qin Zhao just now, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, lowered his head and said: "They are all the people of Dayu, and the concubine is also the queen no matter what she says, Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this!" ”
She couldn't remember what Qin Zhao said later, she only remembered that Qin Zhao went out happily, and it wasn't until Xiao Ling called her that she came back to her senses: "What's wrong?" The emperor is gone? ”
Xiao Ling looked at her helplessly and reminded: "The emperor has already left, if it is not early today, Niangniang should prepare early!" We're going to leave the palace. ”
"Oh! Good! Go and take out my regular clothes, change your clothes, and we'll go out!" ”
Xiao Ling looked at the reckless Lu Qingjin and was a little puzzled, but in the end she still obeyed the arrangement and went out, and the grandmother outside the door laughed as she walked: "You little girl doesn't understand anything, Niangniang is embarrassed." ”
Xiao Ling still found it incomprehensible, so she simply didn't want to, and honestly changed into a regular dress for herself and followed the queen out of the palace.
This time is different from last time, after all, Lu Qingjin is now a favored queen, and with the emperor's order, behind her are a large number of palace maid guards.
Unlike Lu Qingjin, who can always leave the palace, it is difficult for these palace maids to get out once they enter the palace, and many people look around with great interest.
