Chapter 67: Corn Rib Soup
Han Xi smiled, "Niangniang, the emperor will come to Fengluan Hall for dinner tonight." ”
"The emperor will come tonight? What's going on, did you go to the imperial study today just to let the emperor come to the palace? Wouldn't it be a shame for you to tell the emperor directly about this palace! ”
Murong Cha was happy and angry, of course she wanted the emperor to come, but she didn't want to look so unbreathed, and even asked the palace maid to invite the emperor directly, so the impression in the emperor's heart would not be very good, after all, she was the queen, and she still had to maintain stability in front of people.
Han Xi shook his head, "Niangniang, please rest assured, the slave didn't say it directly. The slave maid didn't want to be hurt by gossip when she heard the mother, so she wanted to create more opportunities for the mother.
So today I made a bowl of soup directly and sent it in the name of the queen, and after the emperor drank it, he said that the soup was delicious, and I wanted to come to the queen to drink enough today. ”
Murong Cha breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Han Xi's words, "It turns out that this is the case, since this is the case, you should have told the palace earlier, the palace thought that you had something else to do with the emperor!" ”
"The slave just wanted to surprise Niangniang, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Niangniang so early, and sure enough, nothing could escape Niangniang's eyes."
Because what Han Xi went to do was completely for herself, Murong Cha didn't have any worries, on the contrary, she was much happier, after all, the emperor was coming tonight, so she must be well prepared.
"Han Xi, you quickly have people clean up this place inside and out, and tell them that the things prepared in the dining room today must be what the emperor likes to eat. You also want to make the soup you made for the emperor today, didn't you say you wanted to drink enough! ”
Han Xi nodded and stepped back to order things, while Murong Cha concentrated on choosing clothes to see which clothes were more suitable.
Han Xi was a little speechless, how did she know what soup to make, she didn't even know what the emperor liked to eat, what to do to make the emperor drink a few more times.
Xia Yue saw Han Xi running over, "Han Xi, do you know that the emperor is coming today?" ”
"Well, I know, or the emperor told me, how could I not know!"
Xia Yue looked at Han Xi with a low level of interest and was slightly puzzled, "What's wrong with you Han Xi, you seem to have something on your mind!" ”
Han Xi sighed, "There are indeed some things on my mind, do you know what the emperor likes to eat, I lied today, so I have to make the soup that the emperor likes to drink." ”
"Ah, I have to make the soup that the emperor likes to drink. Who can know this, since ancient times, emperors will not let people know his preferences, and in that case, no one will know his weaknesses. So it's impossible for anyone to know what the emperor likes, and this kind of thing can't be speculated. ”
Han Xi sighed, knowing that the result would be like this, and it was completely what she expected, but she had to do it today.
Han Xi carefully recalled what she had eaten when she first saw the emperor come here to eat before. After thinking about it for a long time, at most, I can only recall what I ate.
Xia Yue sighed, "Han Xi, don't be too anxious, the emperor won't show his love too much, maybe he loves to eat, but he will only eat one bite, which is also possible." ”
"I know, don't worry, my cooking skills won't make people drink just one sip."
Han Xi entered the dining room with confidence, and after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to make corn rib soup, which she felt should be loved by most people, so it was better to make one of these and give it a try.
Gao Zhan came a little late, and he came after dinner, "The concubines see the emperor, I heard that the emperor is coming, and the concubines have been waiting for the emperor." ”
Originally, Murong Cha thought that Han Xi was talking nonsense, but she didn't expect that she really came, if she really deceived herself, then she would definitely not let Han Xi go.
Gao Zhan nodded, "Today's things are a bit busy, so I came a little late, and I haven't been busy until now." ”
Murong Cha looked at it with a distressed expression, "Then the emperor must be very tired, the meals are ready, and the concubines will let them all present it!" ”
Soon the meals were all served, and Gao Zhan noticed the corn ribs on the table, a combination of the two is rare.
"This combination of maize and pork ribs is rare, who makes this soup?"
Han Xi was stunned for a moment, "This is the soup made by the queen's mother, this soup can be appetizing and spleen-friendly, and drinking it for a long time also has the effect of prolonging life, this is what the mother has made for the emperor for a long time." ”
Murong Cha listened to Han Xi's words lightly, she was still thinking about how to introduce this soup, but Han Xi helped her say it like this, and it also solved a lot of her problems. "Yes, Your Majesty, this soup is very good for your health, the concubines have been making it for the emperor for a long time, the emperor should try it!"
Gao Zhan nodded, and Han Xi waited aside, so he immediately served him a bowl and put it in front of him, "Your Majesty, please use it." ”
Gao Zhan tasted the taste that was indeed a novelty, and the soup was so thick that people wanted to drink a second bowl after drinking it.
He also tasted the corn and pork ribs, each of which was very flavorful, and it was indeed a good soup. "The queen is really doing a very good job, and it's rare that you can think of such a novel way."
Murong Cha smiled a little embarrassedly, "The emperor has won the award, and the concubine just wants to make a satisfactory meal for the emperor, and when she sees that the emperor likes it, the concubine will feel at ease." ”
To be honest, Murong Cha himself was a little curious about the taste of the soup, was it really so delicious, and he directly praised Gao Zhan.
Han Xi understood when he saw Murong Cha's eyes, and immediately filled her with a bowl and put it in front of him. Murong Cha was indeed a little surprised when he drank it in his mouth, and the taste was indeed very good.
Gao Zhan smiled, "I haven't eaten such a comfortable meal for a long time, and the food in the queen's palace is really very suitable for my taste." ”
"If the emperor likes it, he will come to eat more in the future, and the concubines will prepare it for the emperor."
Gao Zhan nodded, "I'll leave first after I've finished eating." ”
Murong Cha was stunned for a moment, it was already so late, and he had to leave after dinner, whose palace was he in a hurry to go to! "Isn't the emperor resting here tonight? It's late. ”
Gao Zhan shook his head, "No need, I still have a lot of notes to review tonight, so I still have to go to the imperial study, and the queen should rest early." ”
The emperor has already said so, and it is useless for Murong Cha to have thousands of unwillingness, so he can only watch Gao Zhan leave here like this.
