"Your Majesty, I heard that Concubine Liu has been in poor health recently. It just so happened that I got some medicinal materials here that may help Concubine Liu's recovery."
"Oh?" The emperor said happily: "My brother is really thoughtful."
With that said, he raised his hand and summoned the eunuch manager beside him, saying: "Inform Concubine Liu to come."
"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu just summoned the Gu family girl to the palace today, and we are meeting her now."
Hearing this, a flash of displeasure flashed between the emperor's brows. He had already said before what happened to Prince Ming that he should not mention it again in the future.
However, Concubine Liu still called Gu Niansheng into the palace. You can imagine why.
"The girl from the Gu family has also entered the palace?" Yu Xianchi seemed a little surprised, "Don't you, Your Majesty, want to try the snacks that I praised? It was exactly what Gu Niansheng did. Why don't you let her make them today to try what I said is right?
?”
The emperor immediately became interested, "It's rare to hear you praise your cooking skills. It can't even be compared to my imperial kitchen. I really want to find out."
He stood up and said, "I've been sitting here for a long time today, so why not just take a walk over there."
"yes."
However, just as the emperor and Yu Xianchi walked out, someone came to Gu Hongzhen to ask for an audience.
"Your Majesty, Gu Hongzhen said that the Duke of Zhen Guo has not thought about food or food since he was punished last time. Only the food cooked by Gu Niansheng can the Duke of Zhen Guo eat.
He came here now to ask Gu Niansheng to go back and cook." The guard reported.
"Tell her to go back and cook?"
The emperor chuckled lightly. Gu Niansheng was summoned to the palace. The Duke of Zhen Guo must be worried about her safety. It is normal to call her out. But for this reason...it seems that Gu Niansheng's cooking skills are not bad after all!
Gu Hongzhen did not expect to see the emperor so soon, and quickly saluted, "I have met your majesty."
"Gu Shidu, today is a coincidence. The King of Zhenbei said that your sister's cooking skills are good, so tonight the King of Zhenbei and I plan to try your sister's cooking."
Gu Hongzhen was stunned at first. Even His Majesty knew about his sister’s cooking skills?
However, after noticing Yu Xianchi, he immediately understood. This must be the method that King Zhenbei thought of to help his sister get out of trouble.
In the past, he had always thought that King Zhenbei was difficult to get along with, but now he just felt that there was a deep misunderstanding. King Zhenbei was actually so considerate, careful, tolerant and generous under his cold appearance!
"It is a great honor for your Majesty to be willing to try my sister's craftsmanship."
As the team marched in the direction of Chengqian Palace, which was close to the Imperial Garden, as ministers, Yu Xianchi and Gu Hongzhen were naturally not allowed to enter the harem, so they ended up waiting in the Imperial Garden.
However, when they first arrived, they noticed that the queen was also here.
"I have met Your Majesty." Queen Shi Shiran saluted, feeling a little surprised.
"Queen, are you going to find Concubine Liu?" the emperor asked.
The queen smiled slightly and said, "My concubine has been having bad tastes recently. I heard that the girl from the Gu family is very good at cooking, and she happened to be in the palace today, so I wanted to ask Concubine Liu to bring the girl from the Gu family over."
Hearing this familiar rhetoric again, Gu Hongzhen couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
It was a matter of course that he came to pick up his sister. King Zhenbei helped his sister not once or twice. How come even the queen has become his sister's rescuer now?
"Oh? The queen also wants to try the Gu family girl's craftsmanship?"
