Chapter 259 The Emperor’s Meal, Even the Queen Mother Wouldn’t Eat It
Yuchi Gong looked at the person walking in front, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
This little thief is so cute, I can't help but tease her.
It was only when he was about to have his meal that Yuchi Gong realized that the retribution had come so quickly.
The little thief's counterattack is coming.
At this moment, the Queen Mother was sitting at the dining table, looking at the emperor, then at Lihua, and felt that the current scene was different from what she had imagined.
She and Aunt Qin didn't see the last scene between the two of them, so they didn't know what happened, but it looked like the emperor had angered Wu Yatou.
At that time, the Queen Mother watched the two people heading towards the main hall. She was afraid that the emperor and Lihua would find her peeking, so she hurried back to the main hall with Aunt Qin.
But as soon as they returned to the main hall, the emperor and Lihua behaved extremely normally in front of her, and there was nothing wrong with them at all.
The emperor took care of her as usual and asked her what she had done and what she didn't like.
The Queen Mother complained in her heart at that time, seeing what her son was asking, in front of Wu Yatou, what did the girl think?
Although she occasionally talked about Wu Yatou's evil intentions, she always talked about it behind her back and never said it in front of others.
This girl worked hard and worked hard without any credit. She was a good girl. Her Majesty could tell that she was just too tired sometimes to say something.
The Queen Mother immediately answered the emperor's questions one by one, saying that everything was very good, and especially praised Lihua.
But the emperor didn't seem to believe it. He turned to ask Lihua and asked about the purpose of each arrangement. He asked in detail, like picking apart an egg.
Lihua smiled and answered every question respectfully and unhurriedly.
The emperor seemed dissatisfied and kept asking more questions until he had no more questions to ask.
He did such a good job, but he didn't express anything. He just said lightly: "Pass the meal around."
The Queen Mother was immediately confused. Could it be that the scene she and Nanny Qin saw earlier was not what they thought?
Otherwise, why would the emperor keep looking for trouble?
The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more confused she became.
When the two returned to the main hall, she did see that Lihua's face was tense and not looking very good.
The Queen Mother thought to herself, could it be that she had mistakenly thought that the emperor wanted to punish Wu Yatou when he saw her being late in saluting, so Wu Yatou was frightened and backed away?
The Queen Mother couldn't figure it out. Her eyes flickered between the two of them from time to time. The emperor was still the same as before, and Lihua was also respectful and polite.
Anyway, I can't see any clues, and it's not easy to discuss it with Aunt Qin face to face.
The Queen Mother had no choice but to put her doubts back in her stomach. It was time for lunch, and she was very hungry. It was worth looking forward to.
As soon as the meal was served, the Queen Mother discovered that hers and the emperor's were separated by exquisite small plates and cups.
Each person's dishes and portions are different, and they are clearly distinguished without overstepping the boundaries.
The Queen Mother's hope of eating a large table of food was suddenly dashed. With this standard and ration, she couldn't bear it even if the emperor gave her food.
Because the meals prepared by Wu Yatou are all good, no more and no less.
If she eats the emperor's food, then the emperor will not have enough to eat.
The emperor was busy with government affairs and had many things to do every day. Unlike her, who had several meals a day, how could she survive without enough food?
The Queen Mother asked people to remove the lids of the dishes.
She first looked at the meal in front of her. The portion size was still the same, with no more than two or three bites of each item. You could eat what you liked and what you didn't. You only had to eat it all to feel full.
Sure enough, all hope was completely shattered.
The Queen Mother endured her disappointment and invited the Emperor to have a meal. When she saw the meal in front of the Emperor, she saw that it was so unpalatable that it was not as good as hers.
She didn't expect that Wu Yatou was so good at cooking for her, but so bad at cooking the menu she read.
The Queen Mother saw a black dish on a black glazed cup and plate. Everything from the dish to the plate was black, and the whole dish was made of black charcoal.
She was shocked: "Girl Wu, what kind of dark dish is that?" Is that a dish?
Lihua smiled slightly: "Mother, is this the clay oven charcoal-roasted oil chicken that you named for Lord Long Live?"
"What, this is oily chicken?" The Queen Mother was stunned.
She had an impression of the clay oven charcoal-roasted chicken, which was golden, charred, sizzling, and very appetizing at first sight, but not this charcoal plate.
Lihua nodded with a smile: "Exactly, the first time I made this dish, I spent all my efforts to dye this dish into a charcoal color..."
While Lihua introduced the skill of making this dish in detail, she glanced at the person sitting on the left side of the Queen Mother from the corner of her eye and sneered in her heart.
This is what she specially matched for monsters. Keeping it can poke his eyes out.
For a person as particular as Monster, who has a golden mean aesthetic, weird hobbies, many problems, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, this table of dishes will definitely make him uncomfortable to death.
Then there was the Queen Mother, who ordered a lot of dishes before the meal, and her little abacus clicked.
Lihua specially selected and cooked a few dishes, and now she is sure to force them on to the Queen Mother, who is unwilling to eat them.
Yuchi Gong listened to the two people talking and looked at the meals in front of him. Each dish was not big, but each dish had its own characteristics that made him uncomfortable.
In addition to the plate of charcoal, there are also the strange combinations, misplaced embellishments, and messy presentation.
Each one of them accurately hits the parts he dislikes the most.
That's it, I can barely bear it.
But what on earth was the dish that was placed in the center in front of him, closest to him and was as soft as mud?
This thing was placed in an earth-colored sunflower petal plate, which was like a thing that came out of the cycle of grains. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
In the past, let alone asking him to bite someone, I would just look at him and want to convict him.
Hehe, this little thief is bound to take revenge. No wonder he is allowed to eat more.
Yuchi Gong thought to himself that the little thief knew how to treat him. Every time he struck, he would hit with one hit, making him completely uncomfortable from body to heart.
Lihua introduced the dish of black charcoal to the Queen Mother, and finally asked with stern eyes: "What do you think of it, Madam?" She looked like she was waiting for praise.
The Queen Mother suddenly realized that the first time she made it, she specifically chose silky chicken. No wonder.
It's just that she looked left and right, and she really couldn't boast, so she could only say vaguely without conscience: "You have put so much effort into it, you have put your heart into it."
It’s better not to do it again in the future, she won’t be able to eat it.
Lihua said modestly: "This is what I should do as a concubine. I should not take it for granted."
She knew that the Queen Mother liked good-looking things. At first, she even disliked the sour plum soup, which was so dark that it looked like medicine and refused to drink it. She only drank it later to give the emperor face.
She guessed that at least a small part of the monster's bizarre aesthetics was inherited from the Queen Mother, and the rest, of course, grew wildly.
Lihua knew at a glance that the Empress Dowager disliked it, but she warmly invited her: "Madam, although this is my concubine's first time making this clay oven charcoal-roasted oil chicken, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and juicy. Can you use more?"
The Queen Mother quickly declined the kindness: "No need, it's only a few pieces, let the emperor eat it, that's all."
No matter how hungry she was, she couldn't eat such ugly food.
Lihua said that there was still a small kitchen, which was a pity for the Queen Mother, so she tried her best to sell it.
The Queen Mother waved her hands repeatedly, refusing to do anything, and finally resorted to a trick: "Girl Wu, how could you forget that the Ai family cannot eat greasy food?"
