Xie Yanhe changed into a new set of clothes, and she personally walked into the main hall with the fish soup.

Wei Zhao and Princess Fuqing sat at the table. The atmosphere between the two was a little weird.

Xie Yanhe paused and walked to Wei Zhao's side with a light smile. She clapped her hands, and the palace maid rushed in with a food box.

Although the chamberlain in the hall deliberately brought a large enough table of eight immortals, the exquisite and delicious dishes still filled the table of eight immortals in front of him.

Xie Yanhe put a few dishes he made in front of Wei Zhao, and said softly: "Your Majesty, taste it, can my cooking skills be eaten." ”

Xie Yanhe lifted the lid on it one by one.

I saw that the soup of the fish soup was thick and translucent, and there was tender fish meat floating on it, shredded chicken, shredded ham, shredded fresh bamboo shoots and scallops, and the aroma was overflowing.

Another dish of raw fish balls is based on chicken broth, with round and lovely fat balls floating on it, except for coriander, there is no other embellishment, and the soup is as clear as water, without a trace of oil slick.

The last dish of fish slices, the fish fillets are as thin as cicada wings, each slice is as crystal as snow, neatly stacked on a turquoise lotus leaf. In the middle of the plate is a beautiful lotus flower carved from ice crystals, which has a bit of elegance of "fish playing in lotus leaves".

The sweet and sour sauce used to dip the fish is drizzled with a little golden plum sauce and added with wasabi, which is sweet and sour, spicy and appetizing.

Although it is only a simple three-course dish, it looks like it has been put into it.

Wei Zhao first tasted the fish belly, the trembling sashimi melted in his mouth, and the sweet and sour sauce drizzled on it was sweet and sour, which not only did not dominate, but increased the deliciousness of the fish itself.

Wei Zhao tasted another bite of fish soup, the fish paste is delicate, refreshing ~ smooth, the soup is rich and fragrant, and the side dishes such as fresh bamboo shoots, scallops, and shredded ham deepen the delicious taste of the fish, which makes people can't stop chopsticks.

Wei Zhao's last taste was raw fish balls, the fish balls are tendonous and springy, and the soup base made of chicken soup is extremely delicious, extremely light, but it makes people taste it again and again.

No wonder Xie Jiangming would show off his sister's cooking skills to him every time he returned to Beijing to report on his work, and Wei Zhao's ink eyes were dyed with a hint of pleasure.

After Mianmian entered the palace, Xie Jiangming didn't want to have this blessing in the future.

Princess Fuqing kept looking at the palace maid who was in charge of the cloth, and saw that the palace maid was like a wooden stake and didn't move. Princess Fuqing had no choice but to take matters into her own hands and sandwich some of each of the three dishes made by Xie Yanhe.

When the first fish soup was eaten, Princess Fuqing's eyes widened in surprise.

Princess Fuqing has always been tired of eating, and in addition to the imperial chef given by Wei Zhao, there are also chefs she has collected from all over the world. But Xie Yanhe's cooking skills still make her beautiful.

If it weren't for Xie Yanhe's identity being too precious, Princess Fuqing would want to detain her in her princess's mansion and be responsible for cooking for herself every day.

"Yonghe, you are really hidden. This fish soup and fish belly are so delicious, and the fish balls are also good. ”

Princess Fuqing's eyes lit up, and she quickly finished the dishes in the bowl, and was about to clip them again, but was stopped by her father.

Wei Zhao snorted lightly and said with a displeased expression: "Have I shortened your food and clothing?" Look at yourself, for the sake of a bite to eat, even the decency of the royal family is disregarded! ”

Princess Fuqing looked at the plate that was firmly protected by her father, her red lips pursed dissatisfiedly, and muttered: "It's not that your father wants to eat alone!" ”

Xie Yanhe found that the father and daughter in front of him were really naïve, and they were still the supreme in the world! It's clear that even a seven-year-old child is inferior.

She had no choice but to help with the round.

"Your Highness, try this vegetarian roast goose, it is the specialty of my chef."

Princess Fuqing also knew that she couldn't compete with her father, so she had to pick up the dishes made by the cook to eat.

It is true that the skills of the Hou Mansion chef are indeed excellent, but if Princess Fuqing wants to eat, she only needs to say a word to Xie Yanhe. But how embarrassed was she to support Xie Yan and cook. In this way, it seems that the three dishes made by Xie Yanhe are particularly precious.

After Princess Fuqing ate seven points full, she said goodbye with a very good look.

Xie Yanhe asked people to remove the plate and send fresh melons and fruits.

She picked up a golden loquat with a silver fork and put it into her lips. For a moment, the lips and tongue were full of sweet fruity aromas.

Wei Zhao reached out with his long arm, circled Xie Yanhe into his arms, and the two of them sat on a chair, and he kissed Xie Yan and the tender bamboo shoots lovingly: "We slept hard tonight." ”

Xie Yanhe smiled lightly and said as if it were true or false: "I thought Your Majesty would blame me." After all, I taught his own sister a lesson in front of King Funan. ”

Wei Zhao felt that his nose smelled a strong sour smell, he chuckled, and said in a good manner: "I have already made arrangements for the county lord of Funan, you don't need to be angry with her. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanhe glanced at Wei Zhao obliquely, and a pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling: "The county lord of Funan is disrespectful to me, do you think I am her servant?" I'm just teaching her a little lesson, what does this have to do with Your Majesty? ”

"Okay, if you say it's irrelevant, it's irrelevant." Wei Zhao's tone seemed to be coaxing an ignorant child.

Xie Yanhe narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly, she was very annoyed by Wei Zhao's perfunctory tone, and she snorted coldly: "Your Majesty has pity on the Funan County Lord, even if the Funan County Lord is rude and rude, His Majesty is not willing to punish him." ”

"And said that he was not jealous!" Wei Zhao laughed heartily.

Because of his experience when he was young, Wei Zhao had a cold, gloomy, harsh, and ruthless personality, and after ascending to the throne, he habitually wore a face on the floor, not smiling, like tomorrow in the sky, which made people dare not look directly.

But in front of Xie Yanhe, Wei Zhao is like a different person, not only gentle and restrictive, but always easily affected by Xie Yanhe. Sad, angry, happy, and satisfied, it is even richer than his emotions in more than 30 years combined.

"It would be ridiculous for His Majesty to think that I would be jealous. I'm obviously dissatisfied! Xie Yanhe couldn't help but raise his tone and defend himself.

Wei Zhao didn't believe it, worried about Xie Yan and being annoyed, he said to her with a gentle face: "It's me who said it wrong. The lord of Funan is rude and rude, not like us sleeping, gentle as water, dignified and elegant. She is as inconspicuous as dusty rubble in front of you. I remember that Fuqing used to satirize the rude behavior of the lord of Funan and his village spirit. ”

Xie Yanhe was amused by Wei Zhao and laughed. She didn't believe that with Wei Zhao's shrewdness, she wouldn't be able to see the mind of the Funan County Lord.

But this man is so mean, the county lord of Funan has a wrong heart, if he hears Wei Zhao's words with his own ears, he doesn't know how he will feel.

"Your Majesty, the county lord of Funan is sincere to you, but Your Majesty is derogating the county lord of Funan behind his back, which is too ruthless."

This girl is a typical "cheap and good", Wei Zhao smiled in his heart, a handsome face but silent, dark ink eyes affectionate, he said in a deep voice: "I only love you, as for other women, they have their future husbands to worry about." ”

Xie Yan and a fang's heart were beating non-stop, and she bit her red lip, as if in this way, she could reduce the heat on her face.

"What did Your Majesty say!" Xie Yanhe glanced at the palace maid in the hall with low eyebrows, and said with embarrassment.

"I'm sincere." Wei Zhao dropped a soft kiss between her fragrant hair, and said softly, "It's too late, you rest early." I'll ask Feng Ying to come and pick you up tomorrow. ”

Xie Yanhe got up from Wei Zhao's arms: "I'll send Your Majesty." ”

"No, you can get some rest." Wei Zhao got up from his seat and raised his hand to stroke her hair, his eyes full of affection.

But there are eyes everywhere in the palace, even if he is reluctant, for the sake of Xie Yanhe's reputation, he does not dare to stay here, so he can only leave ruthlessly.

After Wei Zhao left, Xie Yanhe's smiling face fell instantly. She walked to the bookcase, hurriedly wrote a note, and handed it to Cherry: "Go and see if Princess Fuqing is asleep?" If you have already slept, you will give it to Chunxue. ”

"The slave obeys." Cherry took the paper and walked out of the hall.

The mandarin duck helped Xie Yanhe loosen her hair bun, took off her new dresses one by one, and served her to bathe.

"It's a pity that this begonia red palace dress on the county lord is so beautiful, but it can only be worn once."

"A skirt is not worth anything, the fire oil drill on the skirt is removed, and you can remake some jewelry."

Xie Yanhe's body was immersed in the warm soup spring, and he only felt that the pores all over his body were stretched.

She leaned against the wall of the pool hewn out of white marble, and the mandarin duck bathed her hair.

"That's what the county lord said. With the family business of our Hou Mansion, there are hundreds or thousands of palace skirts, and the Hou Mansion can afford it. ”

The mandarin duck grabbed a handful of bath beans, rubbed bubbles on his hand, carefully wiped them on Xie Yanhe's hair, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty has a heart, and I have arranged the Wutong Hall for you." The soup pool in the palace is the best in the entire palace except for the Dragon Pool. ”

Xie Yanhe's face was flushed, and in the hazy mist, her snow-like cheeks were dyed with a touching crimson, like a bright moon, beautiful. A pair of peach blossom eyes are sparkling, the eyes are drunk, and the expression is charming and coquettish. Mandarin duck is a woman, and after watching it, she can't hold it anymore.

"The county lord of Funan has a sentence today, which is not wrong. Serve people with color, and love with color. Since ancient times, how many queens have suddenly fallen out of favor and died well. Xie Yanhe's tone was lazy, but the look in Peach Blossom's eyes was extremely sober.

Mandarin Duck gently comforted: "The county lord's thoughts are too negative. You and Your Majesty have different feelings. You used to grow up on the lap of His Majesty, and his affection for you is not as simple as the love of a man and a woman. Those faint words of the county lord of Funan are that she deliberately separates you and Your Majesty because of jealousy. Don't fall for her. ”

"The emperor's affection has always been the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, if I take it seriously, I will only lose and lose. Have you forgotten Gillian Chen? ”

Xie Yanhe's peach blossom eyes flashed cold, and she said: "Emperor Wu and the Chen family are still cousins, and they grew up together. Emperor Wu's sentence of 'If you get Gillian, you are willing to hide it in the golden house' may not be sincere. The Chen family also has the support of Mrs. Dou's grandmother, but what do you think of her end?! ”

After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, even if her body was soaked in the hot soup, there was still an boundless chill in her heart, which made her body tremble slightly.

"The county lord's words are not entirely true." The mandarin duck felt that his master had gotten into the tip of the horns and did not turn around for a while.

She analyzed Xie Yanhe's words: "Emperor Wu is heavy-colored, and there are many favorites in the palace, including Empress Wei in front and Mrs. Li in the back. But Your Majesty is different. In the past, there was only one sick and crooked Hui nobleman in this palace, but His Majesty never stayed in the palace of Hui Guiren, and His Majesty's heart for you, even the slave and maid also saw it. ”

Xie Yanhe was silent.

Mandarin Duck's words made Xie Yanhe unable to find a reason to refute them.

In the end, she could only say with a smile: "If I didn't know that you were loyal to me, I would have wondered if you were bought by him." ”

"The slave only has the county lord in her heart. As the saying goes, the bystander is clear. Your Majesty is sincere to you. ”

The mandarin duck scooped up a scoop of water from the soup pool, carefully poured it on Xie Yanhe's hair, and helped her rinse off the bath beans in her hair.

She said: "Yin Yuanzheng said that you should think less and worry less, so as not to lose your mind. The slave just hoped that the county lord would be happy. ”

When Xie Yanhe heard this, his expression couldn't help but be in a trance.

Her eyes were slightly closed, her hands were propped up on the pool wall, and she gradually fell into her own thoughts.
