Chapter 473： incidents caused by vermicelli

In the imperial study, after reading a letter, Emperor Yuwen Longyan first became imposing, and after a while, he became Longyan Dayue, which made Eunuch Zhang, who was standing beside him, tremble, and his legs kept hitting with the change of the emperor's face. shake.

"It's so presumptuous!" The emperor was angry at first.

"Haha..." Then he laughed again.

Everyone knows that the emperor's heart is unpredictable. Even Eunuch Zhang, who has been by the emperor's side for decades, does not know whether the emperor is happy or unhappy?

After that, he heard the emperor pointing at a package on the table and saying, "Eunuch Zhang, come and open it!"

It was only then that Eunuch Zhang discovered that, at some point, there was a package wrapped in front of His Majesty's desk.

But Eunuch Zhang knew that this must be something sent by the dark guard camp.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zhang replied respectfully.

Afterwards, he opened the package swiftly with his hands and feet.

The yellow-brown hard things in the exposed look like small wooden slats, but they are obviously not.

Eunuch Zhang tried it by hand, and it was very brittle and easy to break.

Eunuch Zhang was very puzzled, "What is this? Why haven't you seen it before?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Of course you haven't seen it before, and it's also the first time I've seen it."

Eunuch Zhang asked, "Your Majesty, this is..."

The emperor said, "This is sweet potato vermicelli! Oh, it is made of sweet potatoes."

Eunuch Zhang looked at these sweet potato vermicelli in surprise, and said in surprise, "This is sweet potato vermicelli? Is it made of sweet potatoes? But how can this be done? The old slave has never heard of it!"

Eunuch Zhang asked several questions in a row, and when he responded, he was immediately a little panicked.

Eunuch Zhang hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, old slave... old slave..." He overstepped.

At this moment, the emperor may be in a good mood.

He waved his hand and said, "Hey, don't say you have such a question, I have such a question too! It's just that the person who can answer the question is not here!"

Eunuch Zhang wanted to ask who this person was, but he knew very well that he couldn't ask now.

But following the emperor's side for so long, and being the emperor's confidant at the same time, he knew something vaguely.

It's just that these things are inconvenient to be made public now.

The emperor touched these sweet potato vermicelli with his hand, and thought of the method of sweet potato vermicelli mentioned in another letter, and there was a vague expectation in his heart.

Although I eat all kinds of delicacies such as mountain and sea delicacies, Bazhen jade food, etc., but no matter how delicious the food is, if you eat it every day, you will get tired of it.

Now that there is such a thing that can make delicious food in front of him, he must be happy.

The emperor explained to Eunuch Zhang and said, "Eunuch Zhang, let the imperial kitchen make these sweet potato vermicelli for me! You give this to Liu Yuchu!"

Eunuch Zhang looked at these three or four kilograms of sweet potato vermicelli and asked with a frown, "But, Your Majesty, this is the first time I've seen this thing even for Chef Liu! He's afraid..." I'm afraid he can't make it!

The emperor understood the meaning of Zhang Gonggong's words.

Immediately, he took out one of the three letters, handed it to Eunuch Zhang, and said, "Here is a recipe for sweet potato vermicelli, take it to Chef Liu!"

When Eunuch Zhang received the letter, he was really surprised.

This person is really attentive, and he even sent the recipe together.

When Eunuch Zhang left the imperial study with the sweet potato vermicelli and the letter, he was stopped by the emperor again.

"Wait, Eunuch Zhang!"

"His Majesty!"

"Go to Kunning Palace and Lanyue Palace to inform the empress and imperial concubine that they will have dinner with me tonight!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Eunuch Zhang left, the emperor opened another letter that made him angry, angry and funny.

The handwriting in the letter is beautiful and timeless, cool and refreshing, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a female font.

The letter told him that in her kitchen, a mouse was caught and three jars of peanut oil and a handful of sweet potato vermicelli were stolen.

Ask him again, what will she do with this mouse?

Obviously, this mouse is Wu Ming, the first dark guard of the dark guard battalion.

However, the purpose of Lin Yuelan's letter is very obvious, to ask him to redeem people, in other words, to make compensation!

This Lin Yuelan is really too bold.

However, is this Wu Ming really useless, or how can he be caught so easily.

Of course, because the emperor was interested in Lin Yuelan.

He picked up the pen, wrote a letter in a swish, and gave it to the people in the dark guard camp.

As for where this letter was sent, the Dark Guards had a good idea.

When Eunuch Zhang carried the sweet potato vermicelli to the imperial kitchen, Liu Yuchu had never seen it.

When he heard that this thing turned out to be made of sweet potatoes, his surprise was no less than when Eunuch Zhang first heard it.

Chef Liu Yu asked uncertainly, "Eunuch Zhang, is this really made of sweet potatoes?"

Eunuch Zhang's face darkened, and he said with a very serious expression, "Liu Yuchu, are you questioning His Majesty's words?"

Liu Yuchu's face turned pale, and he immediately responded in a panic, "I dare not!"

Indeed, Eunuch Zhang just said that this is what His Majesty said about sweet potato vermicelli, but he is still questioning what he said. This is a sin of great treason.

Eunuch Zhang sighed lightly and said, "Chef Liu, cook this dish well tonight. Your Majesty will let the Empress and Concubine have dinner together!"

Chef Liu Yu replied, "Well, I know it!"

After Eunuch Zhang left, Liu Yuchu's face was still slightly pale, and the letter in his hand was almost soaked with sweat in his palm.

When he found out, his expression panicked again. When he opened the letter and saw that the writing inside was still clear, the stone in his heart finally fell.

Although Chef Liu Yu has never made this sweet potato vermicelli, he has a recipe in his hand. With his skill, of course, it is easy to make dishes with all the flavors and flavors.

At dinner that day, the emperor and his concubine ate happily.

"Your Majesty, what kind of dish is this? Why haven't you eaten it before?" Zhou Huanggui asked with her usual coquettish voice.

In fact, for dinner, I only made a pork stew vermicelli with sweet potato vermicelli.

The emperor immediately asked with a smile, "Concubine Ai, how do you think this dish is delicious?"

The imperial concubine replied, "The meat is tender and not greasy, this piece is elastic and chewy, salty and delicious. Concubine has never eaten it before, and it feels very delicious!" Because she didn't know it was called vermicelli, she called it vermicelli. strip.

After His Majesty listened, he nodded and said, "Well, Concubine Ai is right. This dish is really delicious. However, today is also the first time I have eaten it!"

Concubine Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "Your Majesty, is this the first time you have eaten this dish? That's really a concubine's honor!"

The emperor nodded with a smile, and then asked Empress Chen, who had been silent and ate quietly, "After love, how does this dish taste?"

Empress Chen said lightly, "Not bad!"

Hearing the queen's answer, the emperor immediately picked up his chopsticks happily, put the noodles in her bowl, and said, "If you feel good after love, then eat more! Look at your body, you're not too thin. There is meat. After a while, I will let Eunuch Zhang go to the imperial kitchen to get some to Kunning Palace, oh no, when I have this dish in the future, the queen will use it with me!"

Empress Chen responded with neither joy nor anger, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Saying that, she picked up the vermicelli from the bowl and put it in her mouth.

This time, I can see that the emperor Longyan is very happy.

You must know that the queen's food intake is surprisingly small, otherwise, she would not be so thin.

Now that she ate two more bites of this sweet potato vermicelli, she immediately made up her mind to get more.

Zhou Huanggui watched the interaction between the emperor and the queen, and was so angry that she twisted the veil under the table.

But the expression on his face has not changed, he is still smiling and very happy.

...

As soon as Concubine Zhou returned to Lanyue Palace, she smashed several vases with a flick of her hand.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Chen Wanyue!"

When Concubine Zhou's nanny Wang Momo saw it, she immediately gave a little **** a wink.

The little **** understood immediately and secretly retreated.

After Zhou Guifei vented for a while, Wang Mammy looked at the thing that was thrown on the ground, and went up to ask, "Niangniang, didn't you accompany the emperor for dinner? Why are you so angry?" , has a relationship with the Empress.

For this dinner, Concubine Zhou spent several hours dressing up.

I didn't expect to be happy in the past, but come back in anger.

Concubine Zhou Gui said angrily, "The emperor not only asked Ben Gong to accompany him, but also called that **** Chen Wanyue!"

Mammy Wang immediately exclaimed, "Ouch, my niece, be careful that the walls have ears!" To scold the queen's niece as a **** is a serious crime, and even if her own niece is favored by the emperor, she will inevitably be reprimanded and punished by your majesty. .

Although there are no outsiders in Lanyue Palace, who can guarantee that there will be no eyeliner in other palaces.

Concubine Zhou is not only beautiful, but a woman with no brain and no reason.

On the contrary, she is a woman with both talent and beauty, especially with reason and scheming, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to remain popular for decades.

It's just that she's just...

After listening to Mammy Wang's words, she took a deep breath, and then said to Mamma Wang, "Mammy, Ben Gong is just not angry, why...she doesn't do anything, as long as she is there, The emperor's eyes will always be on her? There is Chen Wanxin in front and Chen Wanyue in the back, is it true that I, Zhou Xinyue, will never be as good as her two sisters?"

Obviously, she is beautiful, and in terms of talent, how can the two brothers and sisters of the Chen family compare to her.

But the two sisters could get the emperor's blue eyes and make the emperor pay attention to them.

Madam Wang said immediately, "My lady, you must not lose your temper. You have endured it for so many years, but you can't give up at this time!"

Concubine Zhou said angrily, "Mommy, do you know that the emperor got something out of nowhere, this is it," she pointed to the sweet potato vermicelli thrown on the ground, "the dishes he made, he looked at Chen Wanyue more than ever. After eating two bites, I kept giving it to her, and later said that as long as I made this dish, I would let the queen come over to accompany her.

But as for this palace, he only gave me such a handful of black things, and asked me to take them back to Lanyue Palace. Mammy, Ben Gong is really..." Very angry.

Madam Wang immediately understood what was going on.

Emotionally, her mother-in-law is jealous.

She explained, "Niangniang, after so many years, don't you still understand? Since ancient times, emperors are ruthless and affectionate, and our emperor is even more! He and the former queen were a teenage husband and wife. Later, during the battle for succession, the former queen To die for him, no one can shake the position of the former queen in their hearts.

As for the current queen, everyone knows that she is just a substitute for her sister, and the queen knows it even more. Therefore, she will treat him with indifference, but the emperor just eats this way.

My goddess, it is fortunate that the emperor has been able to favor you for decades, otherwise... your current mind is not on this, you should think about the third prince. "

What Wang mama wants to say is that if you don't know the interest, the emperor may change someone to spoil you at any time.

On the surface, he is fond of this imperial concubine, but in fact it is not to balance the power of the three parties in the court.

Concubine Zhou is very clear in her heart that even so, she must seize the emperor's favor and be a sensible man who is responsible for making him happy. In this way, her son will have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and she will become The most noble queen in the world.

At that time, whether it is Chen Wanxin or Chen Wanyue, they will live by looking at her, if she wants to live, she will die, if she wants to die, she will die.

Thinking of this, Concubine Zhou took a deep breath and said to Mammy Wang, "Mammy, you are right. Those who are in a major event must learn to be patient! Therefore, this palace must be patient again and again. Wait for the night. One day, when you ascend to the throne, this palace will no longer have to endure it!"

When she said this, her tender white hands were clenched into fists.

Mammy Wang said, "It's good if the niangniang can think about it!"

Afterwards, Mammy Wang poured a glass of water to Concubine Zhou and said, "Come on Empress, drink a glass of water and calm down!"

After Concubine Zhou finished drinking the water, Yuwen Feiye stepped into the Moon Lantern Hall.

Seeing the mess in the hall, he frowned slightly, and then said with a smile, "Who provoked my beautiful and unparalleled concubine?"

Concubine Zhou Gui was relieved at the moment, listening to Yuwen Feiye's words, she smiled and said, "Okay, you will be sloppy and make mother concubine happy!"

Madam Wang winked at them and said, "Madame, Your Highness, you talk first, the old slave retire!"

After Wang Momo went out, Concubine Zhou's expression softened and she asked very seriously, "Ye'er, how's the matter in Linjia Village?"

Yuwen Feiye shook his head and said, "Mother concubine, my son sent someone to investigate, but it seems to be obstructed, so far there is no progress!"

Concubine Zhou Gui was a little surprised and said, "How could this happen? Mother Concubine remembers that you said that you sent someone to check Linjia Village? Why is this..." When she said this, she suddenly thought of something.

She said, "Is there any progress over there at Nanyuan Grange?"

Yuwen Feiye shook his head, and then he asked, "Mother concubine, did you think of something?"

Concubine Zhou said, "Mother concubine suspects that there seems to be some connection between this Nanyuan Farmhouse and Linjia Village? Also, today, the emperor got a kind of food from somewhere, I doubt if it has something to do with Linjia Village?"

Yuwen Feiye said with a surprised expression, "How is this possible?"

Concubine Zhou said solemnly, "This is impossible? Ye'er, it seems that our plan must be accelerated. The mother-in-law is worried that the night will have many dreams!"

Yuwen Feiye replied respectfully, "Yes, concubine!"
