Chapter 165 Entering the palace to meet the emperor
Who else could be the senior official in the capital named Liu besides Liu Shangshu?
Su Xiaoxiao could not think of the second person.
But the final result was quite good. After all, everyone was just on a whim, and they didn’t go there just for the delicious food.
In the end, some diners were screened and found that the dishes from Baxianlou were more in line with their tastes.
There is no doubt about this, and nothing else can change it.
If it's delicious, it's delicious. If it's not delicious, it's not delicious. This won't change anything at all.
I guess in the end, strength will speak for itself. The dishes at Baxianlou are still very delicious, and they have recently launched a variety of braised dishes, which has indeed attracted the attention of another wave of customers.
The stock of soy sauce brewed by Su Xiaoxiao is almost used up. In order to continue to provide soy sauce to the chef of Baxianlou, she has to go home and concentrate on brewing soy sauce.
But she found that the soy sauce beans she had used before were all used up. Fortunately, the beans planted in the field were about to fall.
Su Xiaoxiao happened to ask someone to pick all the beans. After more than a month of hard work, she finally picked all the beans.
Su Xiaoxiao finally put all the beans into the sauce vat, and at this time, the business of the Eight Immortals Tower finally recovered.
Su Xiaoxiao was quite relieved, but she had to start working hard to make soy sauce again. However, since the main factory of soy sauce was currently in the capital, Su Xiaoxiao felt it was always a bit inconvenient.
Su Xiaoxiao was worrying about this matter when Qian Musheng came to the capital with good news.
Prince Gong was favored by the Emperor for promoting soy sauce and issued an imperial edict.
Because the recipe for soy sauce was still in Su Xiaoxiao's hands, Prince Gong certainly didn't dare to take the credit for himself. The emperor issued an imperial edict and performed Su Xiaoxiao's performance, saying that Su Xiaoxiao was a virtuous and virtuous person, and that the new soy sauce he developed would benefit the people, and he also gave the two of them gold. Bai Liang, let two people go into the palace to receive the reward from now on.
According to current reports, Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng are about to go to Beijing and they will go to receive the award together.
It feels quite honorable to go to the palace and kowtow to the emperor to express gratitude.
Li Zheng knew this and was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days.
In fact, he wished he could immediately replace Su Xiaoxiao and go to see the emperor, but he didn't have the ability.
Pei Yuan knew about this, but he had mixed emotions. However, seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was very excited and willing to go, he gave a few more instructions.
"After you enter Beijing, you must not act cautiously."
"I know, just act according to circumstances!"
Although Su Xiaoxiao acted as if she was very willing to go to Beijing, in fact, she didn't want to go at all.
But she couldn't say no, wouldn't that be directly disobeying the emperor's order?
Su Xiaoxiao explained the affairs at home and followed Qian Musheng to the capital.
The next day, the two of them set off together at dawn with the team that came with the imperial edict. Taking advantage of this trip to Beijing, Qian Musheng wanted to take Su Xiaoxiao to see the location of the soy sauce factory.
Qian Musheng was in a very excited mood. He had always been riding his horse, the Moon. The group of people walked quite fast. It was not until the third day that Qian Musheng felt a little tired and was about to get into the carriage. Rest inside.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to ask Qian Musheng about the soy sauce factory, but as soon as she arrived at the carriage, she heard an unfamiliar boy under Qian Musheng complaining to Qian Musheng: "Sir, actually this When you return to the capital, you don't need to come with me at all. You can just wait for Miss Su in the capital. We can't bear to see such a long journey!" When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, he stopped quickly. Unexpectedly, Qian Mu In order to see him one more time, Sheng actually rushed all the way from the capital without having time to rest, and was about to rush back again.
Su Xiaoxiao was also very moved after hearing this.
Everyone traveled day and night, and finally arrived in the capital on the night of the third day.
Because she was going to see the emperor, Su Xiaoxiao had to follow the casual team to the inn, so she had to rest for a night before entering the palace.
The arrangements at this inn were quite thoughtful. Su Xiaoxiao and the others had a good sleep, and all their needs were met immediately.
The next morning, Su Xiaoxiao put on new clothes, a silk gown, very delicate clothes, with a hairpin inserted in her head. This hairpin was given to her by Qian Musheng a few days ago.
Qian Musheng came over to remind her to pay attention to what she was wearing, but saw that Su Xiaoxiao was actually wearing the hairpin he gave her. At this time, he walked up to Su Xiaoxiao very happily, and watched Su Xiaoxiao become more delicate and pretty when she put on the hairpin. , he was in a good mood.
The two of them followed the chief eunuch into the harem, and the chief eunuch reminded Su Xiaoxiao in a low voice: "You cannot look directly at the emperor when you enter, and you are not allowed to speak casually..."
Su Xiaoxiao said in her heart, I won't do that, don't worry!
Because she has also watched costume TV series, she feels that she should have some knowledge in this area.
As the saying goes, with such a strict hierarchy, it was impossible for her to commit a crime below, which would be a serious crime requiring beheading.
The eunuch in charge in front called out, "The south study room has arrived. Please wait here while I go in and report..."
Ever since Su Xiaoxiao followed her into the palace, she had been walking in a zigzag manner for who knows how long. Her head was always lowered and she could not raise it up.
Her neck was sore. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around her, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said to Qian Musheng, "Hurry up and raise your head and rest your neck. I'm going to suffer from cervical spondylosis."
Qian Musheng thought Su Xiaoxiao was very cute, so he followed Su Xiaoxiao and moved his limbs a little.
Su Xiaoxiao saw a very nervous expression on Qian Musheng's face. She walked over and patted Qian Musheng's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm still here!"
In fact, this was also a kind of psychological comfort for Qian Musheng, but Qian Musheng was directly amused by Su Xiaoxiao.
She thought to herself that Su Xiaoxiao didn't look any better than herself, and she was still trying to comfort herself. It was really funny.
While he was thinking about it, the eunuch in charge opened the door of the south study room and said, "Xuan Su Xiaoxiao and Qian Musheng come in to meet the emperor."
In the study room, after the two people entered, they kept their heads lowered and stepped on the soft Persian carpet. Seeing that the people in front of them looked very nervous, their moods naturally became more nervous. This is true. It doesn't mean that you should restrain yourself if you can. The tense and majestic atmosphere infected Su Xiaoxiao to the point where she had to lower her head nervously.
Although the patterns on the carpet are very beautiful, if you keep looking at them, you will feel a little dizzy.
Su Xiaoxiao felt really tired, which was why she didn't want to go into the palace to meet the emperor.
"Are you Su Xiaoxiao?"
