"Your Majesty, Your Majesty can't help it..." Wang Chengxiang watched the Emperor go there in person, and the chef's legs were so frightened that he became weak.
"Go, bring up all the ingredients." Zhao Zongheng's expression remained unchanged as he entered the kitchen and Wu Sanxi crawled over to kowtow to the emperor.
Wu Sanxi didn't dare not listen and hurriedly prepared.
Zhao Zongheng is the emperor after all. He knows all these grains, but he doesn't know how to mix them to make a delicious dish.
Beans, melons, salt, and sugar. He clearly knows the value and use of these things. They are widely circulated in Tianqing. Even those salt merchants and grain transporters also have many treasures, but...
"I was wrong." Zhao Zongheng frowned as he looked at the fruits and vegetables neatly arranged on the table, then turned to Wu Sanxi and said, "You do it."
Sometimes, it's good to admit that you're not good...
Zhao Zongheng went for a walk in the back kitchen and returned to the main hall in despair. He saw that the bottom of the fruit plate in Si Ningchi's hand was bottomed out.
Zhao Zongheng: "..."
Well, I haven’t eaten the meat, and now I don’t even have the fruits and snacks.
Zhao Zongheng walked slowly towards Si Ningchi, his eyes swept over Si Ningchi little by little, and then he said quietly: "You have gained weight."
Si Ningchi's hand holding the tangerine paused, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't eat the snack in his hand.
"I'm a man and I'm not afraid of getting fat." Zhao Zongheng slowly raised his hand, stretched out his hand to the snack plate next to Si Ningchi and said, "Let me suffer this kind of pain for the queen."
"You won't get fat if you eat fruit." Si Ningchi raised his hand, slapped the back of Zhao Zongheng's hand, and snorted: "The emperor must take good care of himself, otherwise what will happen to the concubines in the palace?
”
"..."
"When will you stop being angry with me?" Zhao Zongheng's eyes were full of resentment. He stood up and sat next to Si Ningchi. He reached out and snatched the tangerine from her hand. He lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Concubine Shu once had something wrong before she entered the palace.
A childhood sweetheart, a professional escorting prisoners."
"I once served in the Ministry of War, and was later sent on a long-term mission by the Mei family. I have been away from Beijing for three years, and I specialize in escorting prisoners." Zhao Zongheng said in a low voice while peeling an orange.
"The roads in Jiangbei were blocked by heavy snow, and there was a disaster. Prisoners injured the officers and escaped. Concubine Shu's best friend was the officer who escorted the prisoners on this road."
Zhao Zongheng reached out and handed the peeled orange to Si Ningchi and said: "So, do you know why Concubine Shu took the initiative to invite her?"
Si Ningchi suddenly understood when he heard Zhao Zongheng's words, and the things he didn't understand gradually became clear. No wonder there were rumors in the palace that Concubine Shu was forced into the palace. It turned out that this rumor was true!?
Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng with a strange expression. He knew everything clearly, but he was not angry at all. He even said it to her so calmly?
"If Mei Lifeng wants to gain a foothold in the capital and be qualified to serve as a temple minister, it is impossible for him to marry off his legitimate daughter to a servant." Zhao Zongheng raised his eyes and looked at Si Ningchi and said calmly: "We can only send people away from the capital as a blackmail.
Concubine Shu enters the palace."
"Mei Lifeng is like a fish in water in the Tea and Salt Trading Company. I need him to do things for me." Zhao Zongheng gently curled his lips and looked at Si Ningchi and said in a low voice: "Everyone gets what he needs. I followed his wishes and made Shu Fei." This is the first time that Zhao Zongheng has spoken so seriously to Si Ningchi about his step-by-step plans, and he has also told Si Ningchi clearly that the concubines in the harem are of only this use to him and have no other use. p>
He doesn't care whether this person is beautiful or ugly, and he doesn't care about who she belongs to or who she loves. As long as she abides by the rules and duties, he will be promoted to the throne and receive all the rewards.
The same principle applies to the title of empress Si Ningchi at first.
Just now...
Si Ningchi blinked and stared at Zhao Zongheng and said: "Listening to what the emperor said, what benefits can I bring to the emperor as a concubine?"
"Pleasure." Zhao Zongheng answered naturally. He smiled lightly, looked at Si Ningchi, thought for a moment and said, "If possible, it is best to give birth to a son for me."
"After all, I have a throne to inherit."
"..."
Si Ningchi's eyes widened, and he turned around speechlessly to get up, but Zhao Zongheng stretched out his hand to hold him back, and said very stubbornly and seriously: "Can't you have children?"
Zhao Zongheng struggled a little and said: "That's okay, I can persuade the emperor's uncle to marry a wife and have children to inherit the throne."
Zhao Zongheng squeezed Si Ningchi's hand and said, "Don't leave."
"You..." Si Ningchi held it in for a long time, staring at Zhao Zongheng speechless. He couldn't help but wonder whether this emperor had a problem with his EQ or IQ. He was obviously extremely smart and could even be said to be right to the country and the people.
He is an extremely open-minded king, but why does she feel stupid when facing him?
Oh my god.
This emperor, she can just kill him with a knife, okay?
Si Ningchi pulled back his hand and said: "I want to take a bath, the emperor should stay alone."
"Actually, I don't mind coming together..."
"Get lost."
"..."
Zhao Zongheng looked at Si Ningchi's leaving figure, waited until he was no longer visible, then turned to Wang Chengxiang and said quietly: "Wang Chengxiang, she scolded me."
Wang Chengxiang: "..." Do you want to applaud?
I see you are very useful, slave!
Why did you file a complaint? Besides, you didn’t dare to reply. Do you think this slave is the one who dares to reply?
After Si Ningchi washed up and came out, Zhao Zongheng had already finished his meal and returned to Xuanming Palace. It was Yuhua Palace that invited the emperor to have a meal, but in the end the emperor left from Fengwu Palace. It seemed that the emperor did not like Concubine Shu at all.
Yes.
"Concubine Shu has not given the emperor a good look in the past three years. Now it is natural that the emperor does not like her if she takes the initiative to invite you." Concubine Liang lowered her head to embroider carefully, raised her hand to gently touch the pattern and said with a smile: "If everyone were like Concubine Shu,
So, what's going on in this palace?"
"Your Majesty is not something that Concubine Shu can summon and leave at the drop of a hat." Concubine Liang snorted and said in a low voice, "The Emperor is kind even if he has not punished you."
"Speaking of the emperor brother, you are full of defense." Princess Chaoyang fiddled with the tea cup, looked at the embroidery work in her hand, narrowed her eyes and smiled: "It's not winter yet, so you will do it for the emperor brother."
Are you wearing fox fur?"
"Look at your embroidery work, the only one in the palace." Princess Chaoyang said with a bit of sadness: "You used to do it for me, but now you just send me away with a pair of boots?"
"Princess, please spare me, my concubine." Concubine Liang put down the needle and thread in her hand, looked at Princess Chaoyang in a dumbfounded way and said, "You are really the conscience of heaven and earth, look at what you, Xiaoyi, my concubine, didn't do?"
"I can only sew belts and silk for the emperor, but you are so jealous, my concubine..." Concubine Liang looked at Princess Chaoyang aggrievedly, and said with a bit of squeamishness: "Why haven't my hands grown yet?
