Chapter 21 Because I'm Cute
Chapter 21 Because I'm cute
The two walked out of the hall gate at the same time, and the emperor stopped under the corridor: "The late emperor spent all his life to set the country and cultivated me to be the successor king, so I will do my duty no matter what.
"The military pay was left to the governor. Nowadays, many eyes in the court are staring at this case, and there are many old ministers around the late emperor.
"So Shi En's matter must be strict and meticulous, so that people cannot hold back the talk. Otherwise, the several policies we discussed earlier will inevitably encounter obstacles."
The Marquis of Qingyun bowed deeply and said, "I must handle it with caution."
The emperor nodded: "It's not too early, so I'll go to Cining Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager for dinner."
When I was about to turn around, the eunuch Sixi, who heard the next to me, bowed his back and walked up: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager will use lunch today from the beginning of the afternoon until the beginning of the day. According to the Empress Dowager's routine, I am afraid that I will no longer have serious meals in the evening."
The two of them stopped at the same time. After a while, the emperor narrowed his eyebrows: "It took the Queen Mother more than an hour to have lunch? But the phoenix was sick?"
"The Queen Mother is fine. But today... today's lunch is also the chef of Miss Su."
Sixi said and looked at the Queen Qingyun next to her.
Hou Qingyun was shocked and almost fell off the stairs!
As the highest-ranking person in the country, Empress Dowager Lu is the most particular about enjoying everything. It can be said that the eunuchs who swept the floor in the Cining Palace must be particularly clever. How can the food in the mouth be casual? With the different positions of the two parties in the Shi En case, she even asked Zhao Su to cook again and again?
Hou Qingyun asked urgently, "Where is Sister Su? How is she?"
Sixi looked envious: "Miss Su not only cooked for the empress dowager, but was also kept by the empress dowager and used the meal before leaving the palace."
“…”
This is even more shocking, right?!
How many people in this world can eat on the same table as the Queen Mother?
The emperor was also confused. He looked at the Queen Mother Qingyun: "Have the Empress Dowager looked for you in the past two days?"
"I haven't looked for it! I haven't looked for it since yesterday to today!"
"But she found Su Jie'er." The emperor frowned. "Yesterday I heard from people in Cining Palace that the meal Su Jie'er made for the Empress Dowager was actually just a pot of red soup, put some ordinary dishes in it, and then served with two fried dough sticks-
"The Queen Mother Jin Zun Yu Gui. I have never seen her eat these foods. That's fine, but why is your sister Su cooking?"
Hou Qingyun really doesn’t know how to answer this question. After all, the meals Zhao Su have made only exist in legends so far!
"What did she do today?" asked the emperor.
Speaking of this, the four joys came to mind: "When I returned to the emperor, Miss Su made an antique soup, which was served with only lamb, mutton offal, radish and cabbage, but Eunuch Gao said it was a hot pot. You don't know that the lamb made Miss Su cut it as thin as paper and as big as half a slap. It was placed in the red oil boiling soup made with star anise, bay leaves, and spicy food. It was done with rinse..."
"Okay," the emperor interrupted him, "Is the queen mother's stomach able to bear it? Is she okay after eating it?"
"The Queen Mother ate very well. After a while, she drank the girl's juice and then went for a walk in the garden."
The emperor was silent.
The Queen Qingyun also followed the silent...
...
Zhao Su is 24 years old, not really fifteen years old. Although she is not as good as the perverted academic master like Empress Dowager Lu, she will definitely not have any flaws in her mind after successfully passing the college entrance examination. She is certainly grateful to Aunt Ning who raised this body, but once she breaks out of the original owner's vision and hears it, some things can't be concealed.
From the memories inherited from the original owner and the retelling with the people around me, I learned that this huge family has not thought of educating the original owner well, but when Xing, as the eldest aunt, reached out, Aunt Ning stopped him, and when Hou Qingyun invited a female teacher to teach seriously, Aunt Ning also stopped him.
Of course, you can also think that this is just a "failed" "loving mother" and has no bad intentions, but when it comes to the matter of Qingyun Hou Xuxian, it would be wrong for Aunt Ning, an outsider to intervene, right?
Since childhood, she has been with her grandmother in a small county town, and she has told her that Aunt Ning’s attitude is somewhat problematic.
She sent Aunt Ning away quietly, then went back to the house and thought about it. She asked someone to put the supper in the hexagonal pavilion in the yard, and then asked someone to invite Yun Xiangyi and Hua Xiangrong.
As a result, the two of them did not arrive, but instead waited for the rushing Qingyun Hou!
"Girl! Are you running into the palace again today to cook for the Queen Mother?"
Qingyunhou's words were quite restrained, as if he was afraid of being confirmed.
But Zhao Su was so cruel: "Yes, I even had a meal with the Queen Mother!"
"Why did the Queen Mother treat you like this?"
“…probably because I’m cute?”
Qingyun Hou choked.
He was carrying out the task of instigating the rebellion, but he came up on his own initiative. Zhao Su said seriously: "I just had a meal with the empress dowager. Why is my father so nervous?"
"How can you know that the Queen Mother is staring at me so closely recently!" Hou Qingyun sat down and looked worried, "But I just let me avoid it. But she couldn't catch me, and suddenly turned to be so warm to you. Naturally, the drunkard's intention was not to drink, so how could I not make me nervous?"
"Why did she stare at her father? Did her father commit a crime?"
“It’s not because—”
Hou Qingyun closed his mouth halfway through his words, "Forget it! I can't understand even if I tell you."
"If you don't explain it clearly, then the Queen Mother may ask me to cook every now and then. It's okay for me to cook. If she wants to make something into the food, what should I do?"
Marquis Qingyun was also shocked by her words. After three seconds, he said: "Tell me honestly, what else did the Empress Dowager say to you when he entered the palace these two times?"
"She talked about the Flower Moon Club."
"What did you say?"
"Just talking about how successful the Huayuehui was. Since the founding of Daliang, countless women have changed their destiny because of this move, and from then on they can hold their heads up and be human beings..."
"Come on, a Huayue Club has benefited some women, but it has caused frequent chaos in the court! The order of the court was disrupted, and the case surrounding the Huayue Club has never stopped after the death of the late emperor. In just three years, more than ten officials above the fourth rank were involved and dismissed. In front of you, there is still a big trouble here. She is still bragging about the Huayue Club with you?"
Before Zhao Su could finish her words, Qingyun Hou interrupted her with complaint.
This is different from what Empress Dowager Lu said!
Zhao Su said: "Isn't this a good thing to benefit women? How come something goes wrong?"
"I can't explain it to you."
Hou Qingyun shook his head and picked up the tea handed over by his maid, and passed by perfunctorily.
Zhao Su straightened his waist: "What my father said is definitely Shi En."
Hou Qingyun looked up: "Do you know?"
"What my aunt said."
Hearing this, a dark look appeared on Hou Qingyun's face, and his expression became cold: "She really said anything to you."
