: The difference between the king and the minister

She explained patiently: "Others use beauty tricks because others are good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They have that capital. What do I have? The only skill is cooking. The emperor is so wise and wise. How could he give a yellow-faced woman a blue-eyed woman? He will definitely not take this trick at that time!"

"You also know that he is wise and wise, so maybe he has a unique taste? - Don't you talk to me here, and you won't try it first if you have this skill?"

Empress Dowager Lu raised her face.

Zhao Su was speechless: "Empress Dowager, do you take it seriously?"

"Then do you have any other way to dig out the emperor's secret?" Empress Dowager Lu said as she put the fan on the table. "If there is no good way, just do what I said. Anyway, I have to complete the task!"

...

When Zhao Su left Cining Palace, she was already as wilted as a frost-beaten eggplant.

She was originally coming to visit her and selling well, but she didn't expect that she would be forced to have a task by Queen Mother Lu!

Let her use the emperor to make a beauty trick? Wouldn't that enlarge the bad wolf into the rabbit's nest?!

If she had known, she would not have come.

What should I do if I ask her now?!

"Maid Zhao, why are you still here? The imperial kitchen is waiting for you to cook lunch for the emperor!"

The palace servant hurried over and urged him.

She looked up and saw that it was almost noon, so she had to bite the bullet and walk towards the imperial kitchen.

The emperor and the marquis of Qingyun went to the Central Army Governor's Office for a whole morning, and it was already noon when they returned to the palace.

He sent two memorials from the Minister of War who came in with him: "The northwest trade will be handled as soon as they said, and told the King of Qin that as long as those outside the pass follow the rules, it would be okay for me to provide more materials for transactions."

After saying that, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued: "Transfer my will. If the problems that arise in the trade are successfully resolved, the King of Qin will take the princess and the prince to Beijing to visit relatives and spend the New Year with the Queen Mother."

"Abide by the order!"

After the Minister of War went out, the emperor took a break and got up and walked to the inner room to change his clothes.

In the summer of Yanjing, the sun is strong almost every day. After walking for a while, the sweat has wet the clothes on the back.

Wufu brought clean close-fitting clothes and helped him change the clothes.

The emperor wiped his body and said, "Have you come yet?"

Wufu hurriedly said, "I have come to the imperial kitchen just now to ask the emperor if he has come back? I think I am afraid that the meal will be cold if it is too early. I will send someone to urge me!"

He said that and retreated.

As soon as I walked to the threshold, I saw Zhao Su coming with a few palace servants carrying large food baskets.

He hurriedly said, "Guard Zhao, come in slowly, the emperor is changing his clothes."

Zhao Su said oh, glanced at the faint figure on the curtain, and droneed at the door.

The emperor in the room had heard the sound. While changing into clean clothes under the eunuch's service, he looked at her standing under the door through the gap in the curtain.

He slowly tidied up his clothes and tied his belt, and watched Zhao Su change his position several times before walking out.

Zhao Su looked up and then called the palace servant to carry the food up.

Today, these four dishes and one soup are made of fried fresh squid, fried garlic, braised pork with dried bamboo shoots, cold dandelions, and a pot of keel bone soup.

After the lid was opened, the fragrance of the dish came to his nose, but Zhao Su still smelled the fragrance from the emperor - on this hot day, he didn't smell any sweat at all, and he really knew how to dress up.

In this way, the Queen Mother asked her to use the beauty trick, and it would be great if she didn't lose anything!

But Empress Dowager Mary Sue issued another imperial edict. If she didn't ask this, would she not be able to submit the wrong one?

"What are you doing when you stand?" the emperor looked at her, "You aren't going to have a meal yet?"

Zhao Su paused for a moment, dragged a chair and sat down next to him. "The sun is so big outside, I have to go so far to go to the Imperial Guards Office to have dinner. Why don't you let me get some here?"

After all, the portion of the imperial meal is not small. The main manager of the big house has always arranged the portion that he would rather throw away than let the emperor go hungry. It would be enough for him to eat alone.

At present, no matter whether the beauty trick is possible or not, Mary Sue's errands have to be completed. No matter how hard she has to ease her relationship with the emperor first!

The emperor glanced at her: "Did you say that there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and that there is no contact between the superior and the subordinate. Why, are you ready to slap yourself in the face so soon?"

"...I said this, but I mean it is best not to get too close to each other, otherwise it will easily affect the emperor's reputation!"

"But the Book of Rites says that men and women at the age of seven have different meals, and they don't eat together, let alone you and I are still the 'monarch and minister' you say. According to this rule, I have no food here to give you food."

After saying that, the emperor raised his chopsticks with indifferent expression.

It's impossible to flatter you...

Zhao Su held his breath for a moment, recalling the way the Luo family sisters danced on the Wanbao Festival, he suddenly twisted his waist a few times, leaned over, stretched out his fingers and pulled the emperor's sleeves, pulling the voice as long as the fox's tail: "Emperor—"

The emperor paused, looked at her for a while, and reached out and brought her sleeve back: "Stop with me."

Zhao Su also expected that he would not take this trick. After all, she had never done this job when she grew up so old, so there was no effect! She sighed and sat back.

The emperor ate it on his own.

Zhao Su sat for a while, picked up the soup bowl that he had not yet filled the soup, served half a bowl of rice, and also took a spoon to eat it.

After eating a few bites, she saw that the emperor still ignored her, so she couldn't help it. She picked up a piece of squid for him with the chopsticks of cloth vegetables, and then sighed: "I think I'm like this piece of squid."

The emperor took the dried bamboo shoots and swallowed them. At the same time, he finally glanced at her.

Zhao Su hurried over and explained: "There is a saying in our place that dismissal is called being fired. I think I'm almost there."

The emperor sneered coldly: "Isn't that what you think? You are reluctant to stay here anyway."

"That was the past, I didn't think so anymore." Zhao Su put his hands on the table with serious expressions: "Your Majesty, you are so wise and powerful, and I am so stupid. Now I deeply feel that you can learn a lot when you stay by your side. Recently, my reputation has improved a lot. This is all thanks to the emperor, and only fools want to be dismissed."

The emperor snorted again and continued to eat his meal.

Zhao Su clothed him another chopstick dish and said softly: "I was wrong with me last time I begged you to keep Pei Zhan. You have a lot of them. Can you not be angry with me?"

"You actually know I'm angry?" The emperor sneered again, "I really can't tell that you are so smart."

Zhao Su was ashamed: "Don't bury me."

The emperor shook his eyes at her: "Guard Zhao is thinking too much. I am different from your monarch and minister, and I am not that close to you. After dinner, hurry up and leave for me."

——Okay, the dog guy is still holding it up.
