Chapter 411

She never expected to be separated from them for so long.

Do they know she's still alive?

If they knew, they would find a way to save her.

All we can do now is wait.

……

In the palace, Empress Dowager Xiao almost forgot the existence of Ye Xiaoxian.

Until that day, several eunuchs in the palace were talking about last night's food.

A eunuch said, "last night, Yixiu's father-in-law went out of the palace and brought back six roasted whole sheep. However, they were not enough for us. The roasted whole sheep made my mouth full of oil and wanted to eat."

"Six are not enough for you to share? You really eat enough."

"Haven't you eaten it? It's said that the roast whole sheep in Yingfeng restaurant is now the most famous dish in the capital. It can only be bought in line. People were originally limited to hall food, and only people in the palace can buy it at home."

"I... alas, I've eaten it. I just ate two bites. I'm not happy. I don't know what it's like to eat six at once."

“……”

At her age, Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't like these fried and roasted things and is easy to get angry. These little eunuchs are young and greedy, so she doesn't care much.

I was about to go to the palace bedroom, but I heard the noise and the sound of broken dishes.

There was also the little emperor's abusive voice: "I just don't like this. What should I do? You cooks are all waste. Nothing is delicious."

Empress Dowager Xiao walked quickly and stepped into the palace gate.

When the eunuchs saw her coming in, they couldn't help kneeling together.

Although the little emperor coveted the Empress Dowager Xiao, he was also straight faced because he was in a bad mood.

"My son has seen my mother!" The little emperor reluctantly gave empress dowager Xiao a gift.

"My little ancestor, what's the matter with you?" Empress Dowager Xiao looked at the mess.

The little emperor is only ten years old this year, which is the age of rebellion. In addition, when the emperor is under great pressure, he usually has no playmates to talk to, so he looks a little gloomy.

"Empress mother, it's cold recently, and my children have a bad appetite, but the kitchen always makes these soup, and my children don't like them."

Empress Dowager Xiao is such a son. She is also very spoiled on weekdays. She can't help saying, "these are nutritious and help you grow tall. You have to eat if you don't like them."

The little emperor was not happy.

Why?

He has to learn so many things, read so many books and stay in the morning. Now he can't even eat what he wants to eat?

The Empress Dowager looked at the unhappy face of the little emperor. She thought about it and thought it was the same.

Although the one in front of him is the emperor, he is also a teenager. Children of his age never like to eat these light things.

Somehow she thought of the roast mutton that eunuchs talked about when they came.

She only allows him to eat these things during the festival, which is not allowed at ordinary times.

Now seeing the wronged appearance of the little emperor, she recruited her subordinate ah Zhao to serve her.

"It's said that there is a windward restaurant in the capital. The roast whole sheep in it is very delicious. Now go out of the palace and buy one for the emperor."

Ah Zhao went out of the palace immediately.

Because it was the decree of the taihouzhuan, and ah Zhao was a man in the palace, he bought the roasted whole sheep in less than half an hour.

The Empress Dowager is still in the little emperor's bedroom.

The dishes smashed by the little emperor in his temper have been cleaned up. The room is lit with incense purchased from the south. The air inside is very good.

And Empress Dowager Xiao read with the little emperor and refused to waste a minute.

The little emperor was absent-minded. He kept talking about roast sheep in his heart.

So when the roast sheep came, he immediately threw down his book and looked at the delicious mutton brought back by ah Zhao.

Therefore, he is either not hungry or too picky about food.

As soon as a Zhao put the roast sheep on the table, the little emperor hurriedly said, "cut it up, hurry up!"

Empress Dowager Xiao coughed twice: "emperor, what about the eating etiquette that AI family usually teaches you? Have you forgotten?"

The little emperor had to force himself to be "steady".

But he kept his eyes on the mutton.

Ah Zhao cut the mutton and handed one of the lamb ribs to the little emperor. The little emperor grabbed it and ate it. After eating, he nodded again and again: "yes, yes, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. This roast sheep is much better than what the cook in the Palace makes."

Seeing that he was willing to eat, Empress Dowager Xiao thought: Well, as long as he was willing to eat.

The little emperor advised empress dowager Xiao: "empress mother, you can have some, too. The roast sheep is really delicious."

"No, you can eat it yourself." Empress Dowager Xiao.

The little emperor said, "mother, just one piece. Really, try it. It tastes much better than the things in the palace."

Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't resist him, so she had to eat a roast lamb chop.

Similarly, as soon as she ate it, she felt the aroma overflowing. Unlike the dry smell of roasted sheep she had eaten before, she had to neutralize it with cumin powder.

Cumin powder, which is prickly and spicy, is easy to get angry after eating. Although empress dowager Xiao is a native of Beiqing, she doesn't like it very much.

However, now when she eats the roast sheep in the windward restaurant, she thinks it's delicious without cumin at all, and the roast sheep has a faint sweetness. I don't know if it's because of honey.

It was also the first time she knew that honey could be added to roast sheep.

When the little emperor saw that empress dowager Xiao ate, he was happy and ate much faster than at the beginning. While eating, he said, "empress mother, I say the food outside the palace is delicious."

Empress Dowager Xiao said, "delicious is delicious, but don't forget what your mother taught you. Don't overdo everything. After all, fried and baked food is bad for your health. If you eat a little more, don't eat it."

The little emperor was very unhappy when he listened.

From small to large, no matter what he did or ate, his mother couldn't give him a good time. The mother said that she ate litchi from the South and pineapple from the western regions. She also said that eating too much was bad for her health. She ate fried dumplings when she was a child, and her mother also said that her mouth would blister after eating it.

He sometimes played with palace maids and eunuchs. His mother would teach those palace maids and eunuchs a lesson. Later, he was wronged. Her mother said that it was OK to play, but it could not exceed a quarter of an hour. Every time she was having fun, her mother sent someone to remind him that he didn't want to play for a long time.

However, there is no limit on the length of reading. My mother wants him to read all day.

Now the little emperor is a little rebellious, and it is difficult to eat delicious roast sheep. He doesn't want to control himself. He eats a lot of roast lamb chops at once.

Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to remind her, but she found that she ate two unconsciously, which showed that the roast sheep was really delicious.

She thought: just, indulge the child once.

……

Who knows, Empress Dowager Xiao's indulgence has indulged the emperor's small temperament.

After all, the emperor is also a child. After eating what he likes to eat, he doesn't want to eat anything in the palace. Even if there are delicacies in the palace every day, he is tired of eating.

He knew he should not be capricious. She should eat whatever was in the palace. However, he wanted to restrain himself, but his stomach couldn't.

In the next few days, when it was time to eat, he was listless. He didn't want to eat the food that people brought up.

Empress Dowager Xiao should not only deal with state affairs, but also care about her son's health. Her son is growing up and has a heavy learning task. She can only eat those few mouthfuls every day.

At that meal time, she went to dinner with the little emperor. When she saw that the little emperor ate lazily again, and the rice was slowly stuffed into her mouth, she was a little angry.

"Ye'er, can you eat well?" Asked empress dowager Xiao.

The little emperor was afraid that his mother would be angry, so he sat upright and seriously took a bite of rice, but he didn't touch the dishes.

Now there are many exquisite dishes on the table, including meat, fish and vegetables, but the little emperor just put a little in his mouth, so he can't afford to eat at all.

Empress Dowager Xiao suggested, "why isn't it delicious?"

The little emperor took another chopstick and steamed fish into his mouth, but he "vomited" after chewing for two days. Obviously, he didn't want to eat these things.

Empress Dowager Xiao is angry. She has to deal with so many things every day and study with the little emperor, but the little emperor doesn't even worry about eating.

She immediately threw her chopsticks on the table and said, "it seems that the emperor is not hungry. Take away all the food. When the emperor is hungry, when will he have dinner again."

Empress Dowager Xiao thought, now there are so many poor people in the people who can't even eat enough, but the emperor spoils the food so much. It seems that he is really not hungry. Just a few meals.

Unexpectedly, the Little Emperor didn't feel hungry. He was really hungry. He could solve the problem of hunger by eating snacks casually, and he ate snacks happily.

Empress Dowager Xiao was very worried about the little emperor's body, and finally had to compromise like all mothers in the world: OK, you can eat whatever you like, but the premise is that things must be healthy.

Since the little emperor liked the food outside the palace, she simply asked people to invite the cooks outside the palace into the palace.

……

Windward restaurant.

That day, ye Xiaoxian was still busy in the kitchen.

Since she came, she has been responsible for the roast whole sheep in the back kitchen. With roast whole sheep as the main business, the business of Yingfeng restaurant has been much better. Zhu bin asked her to concentrate on roasting sheep.

Ye Xiaoxian has no chance to show her other unique skills. Just, she is new, or keep a low profile and try not to show her skills.

He was roasting the sheep when Zhu bin came.

Zhu bin seldom comes to the back kitchen. His approach to the guys is to use people without doubt. He is only responsible for accounting and doing some ideological work for the guys.

So the guys listened to him.

Now when Zhu bin came, the cook was surprised.

Zhu bin, however, wore a stiff face and looked very serious.
