Looking at the snow-white jade pendant in his hand, like the snow in the mountains, coupled with the warm touch, Zuo Xiangling felt his eyebrows skip a beat.

Why did she have a faint bad premonition, it seems that this person who gave Yu Pei is like Emperor Li Shaowu at the time?!

With doubts, Zuo Xiangling turned his head sideways and said.

"Let's go, let's see."

Clenching the jade in his hand, Zuo Xiangling quickly followed Fang Zishi.

Following Fang Zishi all the way to a private room on the fourth floor, Zuo Xiangling stood at the door and took a deep breath before knocking on the door.

After a while, someone came to open the door, looking at Yang Ling with a smile on his face, Zuo Xiangling sighed in his heart.

Yang Ling is here, and there is no doubt that the person inside is Li Shaowu, but the reason why he came here was not thought of by Zuo Xiangling for the time being.

When I entered the door, I saw Li Shaowu in front of the round table, raised his eyes to look at himself, lowered his head and ate a mouthful of 'lemon' with white mist.

This yellow lump, the size and appearance of a lemon, is actually made of cantaloupe.

This is modern molecular cuisine, Zuo Xiangling has always liked some novel things, and this pastry chose molecular cuisine.

Because this molecular cuisine is extremely troublesome to make, only ten servings are made every day on the first floor, and one piece costs 100 taels of gold, and it has to be booked three days in advance, after all, it is a bit of a waste if it can't be sold.

"See the Emperor."

Zuo Xiangling knelt on the ground and saluted, and Fang Zishi behind him also knelt down half a beat slower, his head hanging very low, and his entire back was tense.

"Get up."

After eating the last bite of lemon, Li Shaowu took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth.

"Get up."

Zuo Xiangling got up, and when she saw Li Shaowu giving her a look, she cautiously moved to the position opposite Li Shaowu and sat down, and Fang Zi was actually standing on the side with Li Shaowu's guards.

"I don't know, the emperor is ......"

Are you here to eat, or are you here to take things off?

Zuo Xiangling is a little uncertain, if she comes to eat, it's okay, it's not already eaten, it's still the best. As soon as she thought that she was talking about something, Zuo Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Shaowu saw that Zuo Xiangling was much more relaxed than the previous two times, and secretly admired it in his heart, such a strange person in business could not be better used by him.

"I heard that you can earn 10,000 gold in a day, and 20,000 gold in the best time, I was a little curious, what kind of way did you use to make so much money in a day, so I came to take a look."

Seeing that Zuo Xiangling lowered her head and didn't speak, she said coldly.

"Why, I can't come?"

Bright as a star, dazzling, well-defined lips slightly raised, with a plausible smile.

Zuo Xiangling hurriedly laughed.

"Naturally, you can, the emperor can come over there at any time, the luxurious private room here is open for you at any time, if you are busy with government affairs in the palace and can't come, if you want to eat something here, let people send a letter, and let the small one send it to you immediately."

Li Shaowu was very useful in saying this, and the lemon just now left a deep impression on him.

It looks ordinary, it tastes like cantaloupe, he has studied with Yang Ling for a long time, but he can't see how it is made, even if he is an emperor, he has never seen such a pastry that has eaten all the delicacies in the world.

At that moment, he suddenly understood a little why Zuo Xiangling could have sworn to make that bet with him, but the person who could make such a snack was not a mortal.

He was a little looking forward to what kind of way Zuo Xiangling would help Chu to win this war.

Li Shaowu smiled and looked at Yang Ling, Yang Ling bowed slightly, walked out of the private room, and soon came back.

"Your Majesty, King Jing has arrived."

After speaking, he retreated to Li Shaowu's side and poured a cup of tea.

Zuo Xiangling was slightly surprised, this emperor left the palace early in the morning, otherwise how could he go to Shangguan Feibai to the first floor first.

"Bring him up."

Taking a sip of tea, Li Shaowu's expression changed slightly, he didn't have the smile just now, and his serious appearance made people want to stay away, which was really a bit similar to Shangguan Feibai, they were all people who were not allowed to enter.

After a while, the private room opened again, and saw Zuo Xiangling sitting there, Shangguan Feibai did not have the slightest surprise, and saluted Li Shaowu slowly.

"Son-in-law, see father."

Li Shaowu raised his hand, signaled Shangguan Feibai to be polite, and then let Shangguan Feibai take a seat.

Shangguan Feibai nodded and sat next to Zuo Xiangling.

Glancing at Zuo Xiangling, Li Shaowu tilted his head slightly and said to Yang Ling.

"Another one of the ones I just ate."

The 'one color of autumn' in Li Shaowu's mouth is just a cantaloupe-flavored lemon.

Yang Ling nodded, and was about to leave to order, Zuo Xiangling hurriedly spoke.

"Your Majesty, that one has been sold out, and there is a limited supply of ten copies a day."

Seeing everyone looking at themselves in surprise, Zuo Xiangling looked embarrassed.

Li Shaowu didn't say much, and turned to look at Shangguan Feibai.

"Yuan'er, in three months, we will start with the Huns, I want you to be the generalissimo, I don't know what you think?"

As soon as she heard that there was going to be a war, Zuo Xiangling's reaction was even greater than that of Shangguan Feibai, and the cup in her hand overturned the moment Li Shaowu said this, and Zuo Xiangling immediately lowered her head to wipe her wet clothes.

She has not told Shangguan Feibai about the second half of her gambling contract with the emperor until now.

Li Shaowu's eyes were a little smiling and deep, and Shangguan Feibai frowned slightly, if it weren't for Li Shaowu's presence, he would definitely hold Zuo Xiangling's cup at the moment when it was crooked.

didn't care about Zuo Xiangling's miss, Li Shaowu continued.

"You just returned to the court, if you don't do something practical, it will be difficult for me to put the real power in your hands, after all, your brothers have their current positions based on their own abilities, and it is not easy for me to break this rule for you."

Li Shaowu wanted Shangguan Feibai to go to the battlefield, Zuo Xiangling guessed it on the day he made the bet, if it weren't for Shangguan Feibai's belief that the emperor would not have added the following condition.

Shangguan Feibai didn't think about it, got up and bowed.

"The retainers take the order."

Seeing that Shangguan Feibai agreed so quickly, Li Shaowu couldn't help but look at Zuo Xiangling, originally he thought that Shangguan Feibai had no intention of ruling the government and would find an excuse to refuse.

I didn't think about it, I agreed without thinking about it, and subconsciously thought that Zuo Xiangling told Shangguan Feibai the conditions he proposed, and he was very happy about this, and it was not in vain that he said so much at the beginning, and asked Zuo Xiangling that request, in order to force Shangguan Feibai to gain a firm foothold in the court.

But seeing that Zuo Xiangling looked at Shangguan Feibai with a nervous look, and didn't seem to tell Shangguan Feibai, she had some doubts in her heart.

The matter has been explained, and it is time for him to go.

"Prepare well."

Glancing at Shangguan Feibai, Li Shaowu took the lead in walking out of the private room, and Yang Ling and his party followed.

When the others left, Zuo Xiangling finally breathed a sigh of relief, but because Shangguan Feibai was going to fight, his heart was blocked.
