Si Ningchi felt suffocated and quickly stood up to greet him.
Under the afterglow, she raised her eyes slightly and saw the man who stepped into the palace. He was wearing a dark-patterned dragon robe, his slender body was tall and cold and solemn, and his black hair was tied in a crown, which looked a bit meticulous. He was the supreme emperor in the comics. He suddenly appeared in front of him, with his handsome face and thin lips pursed slightly, a cold and indifferent look between his brows, his slender eyes with a sharp look, and his waveless eyes that seemed indifferent.
Everything creates ripples.
The young emperor looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes cold and indifferent, as if the person in front of him was just an inconspicuous thing.
"No courtesy." A calm voice sounded, and Zhao Zongheng retracted his gaze and went straight to the main seat to sit down.
Si Ningchi turned around in a daze, looking at the man sitting in a high position and holding his breath involuntarily. He was like a born emperor. There was no sign of disobedience in him. He just sat there, making people unbearable.
I want to bend my knees and surrender.
Zhao Zongheng said as if it was a routine matter: "I'm busy today and can't have dinner with the queen."
Si Ningchi blinked and didn't know why. Next to him, Suyun leaned against Si Ningchi and whispered: "Your Majesty, today is the fifteenth day." In terms of etiquette, the emperor would go to the Queen's Palace on every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
"It's okay, you're busy." Si Ningchi said with a smile. As soon as he finished speaking, Suyun, Su Yongde and others' eyes almost popped out of their eyes. They looked at the empress who spoke so casually with fear. p>
The emperor who was sitting in a high position glanced at her and stared at her so seriously for the first time, as if he was looking at a stranger he had never met before, his eyes showing no fluctuations.
"Food transportation around the countryside cannot be given to the Si family." Zhao Zongheng said calmly.
"..."What?
Si Ningchi thought deeply for a while and then remembered that the issue of food transportation had been a hot topic in the court these days. Everyone wanted to take over such a lucrative job, and the Si family was no exception. Zhao Zongheng thought he was following
Did he negotiate terms?
"Then I won't give it." Si Ningchi looked very indifferent, but it frightened Suyun and Su Yongde who were listening next to them, and they couldn't help but stealthily look at the Queen.
"Okay."
Zhao Zongheng didn't say a word nonsense, stood up and planned to leave.
Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng and suddenly said as if he had thought of something: "Pray for rain and celebrate the ceremony in three days. Will the emperor come?"
Zhao Zongheng paused and looked at her slowly.
The gesture was as if Si Ningchi was a stranger, making a very abrupt request.
For several months after Siningchi entered the palace, the number of times the two of them met could be counted on one hand. Even when they met and got along, they did not interfere with each other. They were emperors and empresses in name only, as if they were just doing routine business.
.
"I pray for rain for the first time, to avoid making mistakes and losing the emperor's face?" Si Ningchi blinked and looked at Zhao Zongheng, and the words he said casually seemed to be true.
"..." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes, responded with a deep and gentle response, turned around and left, his expression showing no trace of happiness or anger.
The emperor came and left quickly. Si Ningchi looked at the palace door that had been closed again and breathed a sigh of relief. She took the initiative to say that the rain prayer ceremony was not because of anything else, but because something happened to the ceremony in the original book.
, someone planned to make her bear the reputation of a monster.
Si Ningchi doesn’t want to follow the old path of the original owner who is full of enemies, so he should just be a human being!
What if the plot completely collapses and the character collapses and she goes back?
"Hey, I'm tired..." Si Ningchi turned around and sat on the phoenix couch, wanting to lie down...
"Do you want a slave to pass on the meal?" Su Yun suppressed her anxiety and panic, and when she saw Si Ningchi looked tired, he quickly came forward and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, pass!" Si Ningchi, who just wanted to lie down, suddenly became energetic. When it comes to cooking, I am no longer sleepy!
The meals prepared in the dining room were delivered very quickly. How could the Queen's meal not be exquisite? Si Ningchi, who had already been waiting impatiently, followed the palace guests to the dining table and was stunned to see the dazzling array of food on the table.<
/p>
It looks too exquisite!!!
Before Su Yun came forward to serve the dishes, Si Ningchi had already picked up the chopsticks. Su Yun and Su Yongde, who were preparing to serve next to them, looked at each other in shock, and then stood beside them with their heads lowered.
Siningchi couldn't wait to pick up the dishes and put them in his mouth: "...Hmm, uh."
She frowned and swallowed, it was so light...
It has a very light and refreshing taste. I can’t say it’s particularly delicious, it’s just light.
The dishes on the table didn't have any spiciness at all, and there was very little or even no oil and salt in them. They just had a fresh and fragrant taste. After a few bites, I couldn't take off my chopsticks.
She is the ancestor who eats spicy food!!!
This table of dishes seems to be extremely nutritious and well-balanced, but...
"Where is the kitchen?" Si Ningchi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, turned to look at Suyun and asked.
"Today's food is not to your liking?" Suyun's face changed slightly and she quickly said, "I will immediately send a message to the servants in the imperial dining room to ask questions."
"Hey!" Si Ningchi grabbed Suyun and said, "It's not that, it's just that this dish is too bland. Is there anything spicier?"
Suyun was very surprised when she heard this. She had served Si Ningchi for many years and had never seen her like spicy food. Why did her taste suddenly change?
Su Yun was suspicious, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly agreed to ask someone to prepare a new meal. The meal that was finally delivered did contain chili peppers, but the three or two chili peppers were not enough for the meal. Si Ningchi almost fainted from hunger.
It’s over.
I couldn't help but went directly to the dining room in person, which shocked many people.
"The Empress wants to cook in person!?" The steward of the imperial dining room turned pale with fright. He thought that the Empress was here to ask for guilt, but he didn't expect that she actually wanted to cook in person.
"How can this be possible! How can the Queen, with her golden branches and jade leaves, do such rough work? Her body is so noble, so she absolutely cannot do it!" Su Yongde and others hurriedly stopped her, saying that they could not let her do it herself.
Si Ningchi: "..."
Why don’t you just cook a meal?
She looked down at the eunuch and the maid who were kneeling on the ground. She had no choice but to compromise and stand aside to instruct the chef. Everyone didn't know what the queen was up to, but they still obeyed the instructions honestly.
What Siningchi wants to make is nothing else but a very simple dish, boiled pork slices.
She skillfully instructed the imperial chef on how to cook, and within a moment, the spicy smell had spread. For a moment, everyone standing in the kitchen looked around, but did not dare to get closer to take a closer look.
I have never seen it cooked like this before. The chef who was cooking the dish swallowed his saliva when he smelled the spicy smell.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude, but I wonder who made this recipe?" the imperial chef boldly asked.
"Ah... I was taught by others." Si Ningchi said vaguely, and returned to the palace happily carrying his own slices of boiled meat.
