The little lady in the dining room

Chapter 197 Extra Story: The Daily Life of the Empress · Anger
When the third son of the emperor was seven or eight years old, Queen Ruan Xueli was a little depressed.

Mainly because the feeling of watching the children grow up is too strong.

The third son of the emperor is eight years old, the second son and Diji Rou'an are 12 years old, the eldest son is 15 years old, and the oldest Diji Ping'an is 17 years old.

Occasionally, Sydney would look at the children and think indignantly: Growing up so fast...isn't fun anymore!

It's not even soft when pinched!When I was young, all of them were soft and comfortable to pinch!

Reminiscing about the past few years...

After A Yuan and A Cong grew up, they stopped letting her hug and play. A Run also started to follow the example of his brothers. At first, she blushed when she hugged him. Recently, she finally reached out and pushed her. , Mumbling to the point of "Mother, I have grown up".

Sydney feels sorry for her, and feels that time really flies...

At this moment, it shows that the daughter is doing well.There is no difference between a daughter and a mother, so she can still hug A Ling now, and A Yao will occasionally take the initiative to lean into her arms and act like a baby when no one is around.And look at those three sons who greeted her and said "mother queen"...

Tsk, if it’s not delicious, it won’t cure you, right? !
In this feeling of sadness, she quarreled with the emperor when her menstruation was coming and she was in a bad mood, which made her even worse.

The palace people of Changqiu Palace all went in and out silently with their heads down, and Zichen Palace was similar.

Emperor Ping'an and the Empress sat by the couch together, with a couch table in between, the mother and daughter were as quiet as possible.

After a while, Emperor Ping'an couldn't bear it anymore: "Queen, can you stop embroidering? Why don't you talk to me?"

With a cold face, the queen continued to embroider the magnolia in hand, and the needle and thread moved quickly.

Emperor Ping'an frowned: "What are you doing? I haven't seen you quarreling with the emperor for so many years. Why did you just quarrel this time and no one sees anyone?"

Father has not been to Changqiu Palace for more than three days - more than three days, more than 36 hours!

Anyone who saw it thought it was too abnormal!
The queen raised her eyebrows: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense, we didn't quarrel. I'm having menstruation now, and it's useless for him to come."

……Pooh!

Princess Ping'an didn't believe it at all.

Xueli breathed a sigh of relief, and then said lightly: "Your cousin sent a post yesterday to say that she wanted to see her. She must have come in with your cousin. You can go to the Zichen Palace and wait, let her come here directly, so as not to have to go in again." The Zichen Palace has added more etiquette."

A Yao: "..."

She originally planned to let her cousin-in-law take advantage of the opportunity of entering the Zichen Palace to face the saint to make a good side-view of the details!

It's good now, mother, you stopped him directly?

This is enough trouble!
In short, Ah Yao didn't dare to disobey Xueli, and waited for a little while in front of the Zichen Hall with the palace staff, and when he saw his cousin and sister-in-law coming, he went up to meet her.

She pulled her cousin and gave a general idea of ​​the matter in a few words, and then asked her to go to the Changqiu Palace to meet the queen first, and then went to the Zichen Palace to meet the emperor by herself.

Although it is difficult to get the word out from the mouth of the father, there must be someone to go!
Seeing Ping'an Diji turn around and enter Zichen Palace, Suanmei was dumbfounded.

She looked at Ruan Yue: "What should I do?"

Ruan Yue thought for a while: "What happened in the past...what's the matter this time?"

Sour Plum: Once upon a time?I've never seen His Majesty quarrel with the Empress before!
When Suanmei arrived at Changqiu Palace, Xueli was concentrating on tossing a fish in the kitchen.

This kind of fish is called river carp, which is not found in the north, and it is difficult to eat even in the palace.The main reason is that it is too difficult for live fish to travel from the south to the north, and most of them will die if they are not careful.In order not to waste time and money, a batch is only brought in every two years.

But this fish is really delicious...

It is much stronger than the common carp, grass carp, and Qingjiang fish that are often eaten in the palace. The meat is more tender and fresh, and there are few spines. The braised stew is very delicious; After that, it has a soft and smooth gelatinous texture. After being stewed, it is both delicious and more textured. Sydney once loved eating this fish skin.

Right now, I am scraping the scales finely.Seeing the sour plums coming, she couldn't be polite: "Come, come, help me clean up that one. Scrape it thinly, don't mess it up."

There are too many children, and one fish must not be enough.She planned to get more fish soup and send everyone a bowl at night as an extra supper.

"Jiangjiang..." Suanmei smiled and looked at the fish under her hand, then said after a pause, "I knew that my aunt was going to show her hands, so I called Wumei in too!"

The queen laughed: "I heard that there are also at home—why? Ruan Yue won't let you eat?"

"That can't be done." Sour Mei bit her lip, "How can Chef Zheng's cooking skills compare to yours? I would feel bad for the fish if he cooks such a good fish."

The queen smiled and didn't speak. Sour plum peeked at her, and said: "Should the stew be a supper at this moment? Auntie will reward you with an extra bowl. Just let someone add another bowl when it is delivered to Zichen Palace——Ruan today Leap is night value."

The Queen paused for a moment while cutting the fish into pieces, she didn't speak for a while, and finally said "um".

It's stiff enough...

Suanmei felt that it seemed serious, so she didn't say anything more rashly.After helping the queen stew the fish, she ran to find Xie Ling.

She asked Xie Ling: "What's going on with Auntie and Your Majesty? Emperor Ping'an asked me to persuade her, but I don't know and I can't say anything."

——What if you say the wrong thing, and the more you persuade, the worse it will be?
Xie Ling sighed: "I don't know. Cousin, didn't you ask me and elder sister? Neither of them said anything. As for the queen mother, she said that there was no quarrel, and the father said that it had nothing to do with us-the tone is very strict." Strictly, I am anxious to death."

So Suanmei didn't ask why.

The atmosphere during supper adds to the dullness.

The three princes exchanged winks, and then looked at the elder sister together.When Ah Yao noticed the eyes of his younger brothers, he looked at Suanmei, and Suanmei looked at Diji Rou'an, and Diji Rou'an looked at his mother.

The queen drank the fish soup calmly, pretending not to know what they were doing.

After drinking half a bowl of soup, the eldest son of the emperor coughed slightly: "Mother..."

Queen: "Huh?"

Xie Yuan calmly said: "My son is going to Zichen Hall to learn how to read memorials from his father at night, so I won't stay any longer."

"Oh." The Queen nodded, "Fuck you."

Xie Yuan said again: "Maybe I slept late. This... Jiangxi soup, can Erchen take some away?"

The queen smiled and nodded: "Brown sugar, go to the kitchen and bring some, let Zhang Suicai follow the eldest son of the emperor."

After that, the silence was restored again, and everyone took the supper silently, and then they all left.

Xie Ling offered to sleep with her mother in Jiaofang Palace, but the queen said, "You go to rest by yourself, I want to hug Yuxiang."

Xie Ling: "..."

Exiting the hall, the children thought about it, and went to the Zichen Hall to take turns grinding their father.

Even sour plums can be together, anyway, Ruan Yue is also in Zichen Palace.

A few people went together aggressively, and when they arrived outside the Zichen Hall, the palace people looked up and saw that the expressions of these few were not right, and they did not dare to think about the words of the ceremony: "Emperor Ping'an Ji Wan'an, His Royal Highness Wan'an, the eldest son of the emperor, His Royal Highness Wan An the Second Son, Emperor Ji Wan An of Rou An, His Royal Highness the Third Prince Wan An, Madam Ruan Wan An—”

The order is pretty clear.

When they entered the hall, the emperor put down his pen and looked at the group in front of him: "What's the matter?"

Ah Yao waved his hand to let the palace people back out, lowered his eyelids and said, "Father, Queen Mother has slept with Yu Xiang in her arms again."

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

A Yao continued: "You and the queen mother didn't tell us what happened, and you insisted on being so stiff, can we really ignore it?" She paused and said, "It's been almost four days."

The two have never not seen each other for four days in a row.Even when the emperor was the busiest, he would always find time to eat and talk together.

The emperor looked at her coldly: "What are you messing around with? You have made two trips for this in a day, and you don't mind..."

Before the word "tired" came out, a bowl of soup was handed to him from the side.

Xie Run, the third son of the emperor, smiled and said, "Father, this is the soup made by the empress. The empress said that the father and elder brother must be tired after reading the memorial at night, let us bring some soup."

In fact, the queen mother didn't say this, it was the eldest brother who taught him to say this.

When the eldest brother taught him, he told him that he was young, so the credibility of what he said was higher.

The emperor frowned slightly, and glanced at him: "It must not be what she said, put it aside."

...Hey, father, are you a roundworm in the queen mother's stomach?

Xie Run sighed and put the soup down, and returned to stand next to his eldest brother with a sad face.

Xie Cong looked at him, with a heavy face, and bowed: "Father, even if you don't let us talk about it, tell us the reason... One side is the father and the other is the mother. Are you happy and pretend not to see?"

"Kids don't interrupt adults' affairs." The emperor said a very common sentence, and Xie babbled all of a sudden.

He and Diji Rou'an were only 12 years old, and his father said they were children, so they really had nothing to do with each other.

The emperor looked at Suanmei again, with an impatient expression on his face: "They meddle in their own business, and you, a married man, also come to help as a lobbyist?"

Unprepared, Suanmei received a reprimand, froze, and bowed on her knees: "Your Majesty, if it's not a big deal... please don't freeze with the empress. The concubine will be gone as soon as she arrives at Changqiu Palace today." I feel that Empress Empress looks bad, even her smiling face is gone, and she can't do anything with energy. Empress Empress is already here..."

Suanmei glanced at the three princes next to her, swallowed the words "menstruation", lowered her eyes, and said, "I'm not in a good mood right now, it hurts my health."

Sour plums are directly related to major issues that affect the health of the body. Everyone thinks, is this enough?

The emperor was bored for a long time with a pale face, and finally spit out a word:

"roll."

After shooing away the juniors, Xie Zhao sat silently for a while with an uncertain expression.

There are always other people coming to make indirect comments about the affairs between the two of them. Even if they know that they have good intentions, they still find it very annoying.

With a sullen face, he glanced at the milky white fish soup in his hand, and snorted in his heart: Don't drink it, that woman is unreasonable.

So continue to read the memorial.

After reading the three or five lines, the smell of fish soup floated into the nose slowly...

Fresh and delicious taste, if you smell it carefully, you can smell some simple seasonings, but it doesn't hide the fresh fragrance.

It seems that just by smelling it, you can know that the fish used must be very tender. Xie Zhao unconsciously glanced at the soup bowl...

A piece of gray fish is turned over on the soup surface, it is really tender!

Tsk, carp.

His eyes settled on the white soup and fish meat for a while, and he picked up the bowl involuntarily.

She is unreasonable and unreasonable, and her craftsmanship is still useless.

Besides, what happened that day was actually...

Xie Zhao took a sip of the soup, and the gentle heat entered his throat.

Alas, with such a good craftsmanship, I also know that when she cooks, she must be very devoted and want to make the dishes perfect.

Then that day...

Xie Zhao took another sip of the soup, and the crumbs from a small piece of fish slipped into his mouth along with the soup, along with a little chopped green onion.

The taste is really fresh enough, and the saltiness is just right for his taste.

Much better than the beef soup that day...

In Changqiu Gongjiaofangdian, Xueli hugged Yuxiang, and Yuxiang's big paw also hugged Xueli.

One person and one lion have the same idea: the child is not here!Sleep is so peaceful!
But Jing Jing couldn't sleep, and Xueli became angry when she lay down these two days!

Xie Zhao, you are unreasonable!

No!speak!reason!
Three days ago, she especially wanted to drink a sip of beef soup, the kind that was boiled thoroughly, with green onion and pepper noodles for flavor.Moreover, the beef should be thick slices, and it is best to have a little gluten, so that it is chewy and chewy.

Normally, when cooking, the palace staff would prepare the ingredients in advance. That day, in order to make it exactly the way she wanted, she started cutting the beef by herself.I was busy until noon when I was playing mao, and I thought I could eat a bowl of hot beef soup with enough meat and flavor after I had worked hard at night!

If the fire is not enough, you can stay up for another night, and let her eat it the next morning or at noon!

result……

Xie Zhaolai made a mess for her.

As the saying goes, "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen"—although the original intention is not to say that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, but Xie Zhao, as an emperor, doesn't need to go into the kitchen at all.

However, isn't Sydney unique in cooking?There is only one kitchen in the Changqiu Palace reserved for her, and everything is more elegant than other kitchens, and the emperor occasionally comes to wander around.

After completing the other steps of the beef soup that day, she went back to the pepper room to rest, and added the salt later, otherwise the beef would burn.

As a result, not long after she went out, the emperor came over.

When he smelled it, he opened the lid and took a look: beef soup.

He tasted it with a spoon again, and he found: Huh?Did you forget to add salt to this stupid pear?
The emperor took the initiative to add salt to her, and tasted two spoonfuls carefully to make sure that the saltiness was right, and then went to Jiaofangdian to look for her, and didn't tell her about adding salt.

Half an hour later, Xueli went back to the kitchen and added salt to taste...

Why is it so salty!
It's a bad feeling to put your heart and soul into making a delicious meal, only to find out that it failed.Sydney, who felt that she didn't add too much salt, called the maid for questioning, and wondered if the salt sent this time was extra salty.

As a result, the maid replied: "Your Majesty added salt when he came down, but the servant did not dare to stop him."

Sydney is crying!

The beef soup that came to my mouth flew away!It turned out he did it!
She naturally went to him to "excuse the teacher", and her tone was inevitably not good: "Why are you touching my beef soup!"

Xie Zhao was a bit confused by the question. It happened that he was not in a good mood that day. After hearing her explanation, he refuted: "I am also kind. I thought you forgot to add salt. Why are you so angry?!"

- well!
Sydney has been busy all morning, can't eat what he wants to eat, and his menstruation is approaching.He came to discuss with him in a fit of anger, originally wanting to hear him apologize or coax her, but in the end, he ended up blaming her?

She yelled, "I've been busy all morning! You're being unreasonable!"

Xie Zhao also confronted her: "You just keep a court lady to watch and keep others from moving? Did you keep it?!"

Xue Li: "How dare the maid stop you! You don't know how to cook, so what are you doing!"

The two choked each other several times in the Zichen Palace, until Chen Jijiang reported that officials from the Ministry of Punishment were asking for an interview, and Xueli slapped the table and shook his sleeves and left.

The quarrel was not over, which caused the two of them to be depressed in their hearts.

Sydney thought: You messed up my soup and blamed me instead?annoying!If you don't come to me, I won't see you!
Xie Zhao thought: Kindly treat her as a donkey's liver and lungs!Still clapping the table with me in Zichen Palace!If you don't come to apologize, I won't go to Changqiu Palace!
——The two of them spent so much time. After tonight, tomorrow will be the fourth day.

Recalling the quarrel, Xueli became depressed again, and puffed up and pulled Yuxiang's round ears, accidentally hurting Yuxiang, and it made a "wow", Xueli quickly patted it and coaxed: " Sorry, sorry! You sleep, you sleep!"

Yu Xiang arched into her arms, rubbing his forehead against her chin.

Xueli sighed, and finally planned to put aside her distracting thoughts and concentrate on falling asleep, when suddenly there was a crackling sound of branches breaking outside.

It's peace again!After this kid followed Yuxiang to live in Changqiu Palace, he was still as crazy as before. He jumped up and down without knowing how to avoid people and trees, and several trees were destroyed by him!

Xue Li frowned and hugged Yu Xiang tightly, muttering, "Take care of your husband."

Then I heard the shocking words from the palace people outside: "Your Majesty, Sheng An!"

Sydney: "...?!"

She opened the bed curtain in astonishment, her eyes stopped for the first time, and she saw Taiping rushing in with small bumps, and then he came in with big strides.

Xueli sat for a while and finally realized, with a cold face: "What are you doing, Your Majesty?"

"Sydney." Xie Zhao relaxed, and coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, "Don't be angry, I...that..."

Sydney rolled her eyes: "Which one?"

"Cough." Xie Zhaofu coughed, "Today's fish soup is quite delicious."

"Tch." Xue Li lay down with her back to him, playing a yin and yang aura, "Stealing A Yuan's soup? Your Majesty, have you lost your mouth recently?"

The soup really wasn't for him? !

Xie Zhao felt grief after realizing that he had predicted it accurately. He sighed and sat down on the edge of the couch, leaning over and hugging her: "I will never add things to you indiscriminately in the future."

Sydney: "Huh."

"Be obedient. Um... I shouldn't have blamed you that day." Xie Zhao said, regardless of whether she liked it or not, he kissed her on the side of the cheek, and his lowered voice became softer, "I miss you gone."

you hate!Hate!

While scolding in her heart, Xue Li turned over spinelessly and wrapped her arms around his neck: "I don't miss you!"

Xie Zhao looked sad: "Then I... go back to sleep?"

Sydney: "Don't go!"
