Chapter 557: Sincere or perfunctory?
During dinner, Xiao Che grilled fish for Yun Shang and picked out all the fish bones before putting it on her plate. To be honest, the queen was very envious when she saw it.The man she married would never do such a thing.
He is an emperor, and others do these things for him. How could he do it himself?
When I saw him coming in with this plate of burnt barbecue, I thought he didn't like her speaking for her son and was deliberately making things difficult for her.
I didn’t expect that I was learning from my son.
The emperor brought the plate to the queen and looked at her expectantly.This is his first time making barbecue. Although it doesn't look very good, he believes it will be delicious.
The queen looked at the meat on the plate in front of her and finally picked up a piece.
then……
He handed it to the emperor's mouth and said, "Your Majesty, please try it yourself first. Is this edible?"
The emperor's face turned dark when he heard the queen's question. Shouldn't she be moved to thank him?
He spent so long baking it, why can't he eat it?
The emperor opened his mouth and ate it. He wanted to prove to her that she could eat it.As he chewed, the emperor's face turned from black to white, then from white to black, and finally he couldn't help but spit it out.
Why was it not cooked inside after he baked it for so long?
"Eunuch Liu, don't bring up such bad ideas in the future." The emperor called Eunuch Liu in to reprimand him and put the matter on Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu glanced at the queen and took the responsibility on himself.
It's just that nothing the emperor says now is useless, and the queen won't believe it at all.
The emperor felt a little embarrassed to get off the stage, so he left with his hands behind his back and in a hurry.
After the emperor left, the queen couldn't help but laugh out loud. After laughing, she said to Eunuch Liu: "The meat is not cooked yet. Go find the imperial doctor and come over and show the emperor a look."
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
Eunuch Liu felt that the queen still cared about the emperor, and the emperor would be very happy to know.
After Eunuch Liu left, the queen was still smiling. The way he looked just now was so funny.But the smile soon disappeared and she went back to bed to fall asleep. Now she was past the age of random thoughts.
When the emperor learned that the queen asked Eunuch Liu to find the imperial doctor to examine him, his face actually improved.
The imperial doctor checked that there was no problem. After all, the meat was not eaten. Just to be on the safe side, he prepared some medicinal tea to avoid stomachache tomorrow.
The palace was large, but not that big, and the news that the imperial doctor treated the emperor quickly spread.
The emperor told no one to come and disturb him tonight. He had gone to see the empress mysteriously before and summoned the imperial doctor when he came back. Could it be that something happened between him and the empress?
Some people even speculated that the emperor and empress had a conflict and had a quarrel, and the empress hurt the emperor.
The two noble concubines and several concubines could not sit still. If the queen really hurt the emperor, their chance would come.
However, all of them were turned away when they went to visit. Only Concubine Pan agreed because she came with a casserole.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you were not feeling well, so I personally cooked the soup for you."
Everyone in the palace knew that the emperor liked soup, especially the women in the harem who cooked it for him personally.
Concubine Pan scooped out a bowl of soup and secretly observed the emperor.He doesn't look injured, looks good, and is in a good mood. Why did he call the imperial doctor?
Could it be that the queen is pregnant?
Thinking of this possibility, Concubine Pan's hand tightened her grip on the bowl.
Sometimes she envied the queen for being favored by the emperor at this age.
These older concubines who gave birth to princes were not so favored in the palace.The emperor would indeed let them sleep with them every month, and they seemed to be favored and favored. In fact, the emperor did not do anything to them.
It's just because of the family behind them that the emperor is just showing off.
I used to think that the queen was no longer favored, but recently I discovered that in the entire harem, she was the only one who was special.
"Your Majesty, please try this soothing soup and go to bed early after drinking it."
The emperor really liked soup, and he was in a good mood, so he took a sip, and then his face turned ugly.
Compared with the soup cooked by the queen, this soup is really tasteless.
After just taking a sip, the emperor spit out the soup and put it on the table. "If you are serious, you should learn from it. Don't bring this kind of soup to me next time. Go back."
Concubine Pan had a look of disbelief on her face. She had delivered soup to the emperor before, and she always drank a few sips of it, and her attitude was also good.
It was obviously the same soup today, why did it become like this?
She originally planned to take advantage of the soup delivery tonight to stay. After all, the emperor met her without seeing anyone else, which meant that the emperor intended for her to stay.Who would have thought that the emperor would drive her away so unceremoniously.
The emperor has spoken, and Concubine Pan will leave no matter how unwilling she is.
"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I must study hard when I go back."
The emperor ignored Concubine Pan. He was thinking about the soup sent by the queen and the venison he roasted himself.
I used to think that as long as it was made by hand, it represented the sincerity, so the women in the harem made the soup for him. Even if the taste was average, he would take a few symbolic bites and praise it.
After tasting the meat I grilled today, I realized that it shouldn't be like this.
If you really want to do it, you should learn it before doing it.
Since you have this person in your heart, how can you let her eat such unpalatable food?
The soups and dishes the Queen once made for him were as delicious as those in the Imperial Kitchen. She was sincere.And Xiao Che, even though not a single piece of the fish grilled today was given to his father, it was delicious at first glance.
So when he tasted the soup sent by Pan Guifei, he knew that Pan Guifei was just trying to please him and did not really want to make soup for him.
That night, many people couldn't sleep because of the emperor's decisions, but Yun Shang slept well.
When she got up early, Xiao Che was already making fish soup for her.
When she came out of the wash, the soup had turned milky white.
Yun Shang was not used to southern cuisine. The palace had cooks hired from Da Chu, but there were no cooks here in the palace.Xiao Che asked them to make some a few days ago, and the taste was not satisfactory.If I have time today, I will make breakfast for her myself.
"Let's go eat with the queen later."
Yun Shang felt that the queen would be very happy to have breakfast cooked by Xiao Che himself.
"Okay." Xiao Che agreed happily.
After the fish soup was ready, the two people took the freshly cooked soup to the queen's palace. They were very close to the queen's residence.
Xiao Che had previously ordered some more cooked noodles to be delivered from the kitchen. Yun Shang liked fish soup noodles very much.
The queen was also very happy to see the two people coming over, especially because she was finally going to eat food cooked by her son.
"Mother, your prince's cooking skills are very good." Yun Shang praised.
She had eaten his grilled fish before and thought he could only grill fish. She didn't expect to find out in the past two days that he could cook other dishes. It was a surprise.
