Chapter 602 Tasting
It’s coming, it’s coming, the soul questioning is finally here!
Fan Honghui felt as if a stone had fallen to the ground, and even had a slightly relieved expression on his face.
Seeing this, Xia Yunji scratched the back of his head in confusion.
The commander here always doesn't look very smart.
But if you take a step back, this is not very smart. Could it also be a good thing?
After all...
——
The news of the great victory at the border was rushed to the emperor in two days and six hundred miles.
After the emperor read it, he kept smiling and nodding, "Okay, okay!"
"It seems that there is good news coming from the border?" The queen, who was drinking tea with the emperor, pursed her lips and smiled. "Did that kid Honghui make another military exploit?"
"It is a meritorious service, but it is just the merit of knowing people well." The emperor put down the military report in his hand and laughed, "If you talk about it, it is the two young army commanders Lu Qiyan and Xia Yunji who made the achievement." ”
"A night attack with five thousand elite soldiers on the border defense forces of the Jin Wei State, burning their food and grass, and seriously injuring the Duke and Grand Marshal of the Jin Wei State, is a great achievement."
"It's indeed good." The queen smiled and nodded, "If it looks like this, the time when Jin Weiguo will seek peace is not far away."
"I hope so." The emperor nodded slightly.
By suing for peace earlier, the Great Zhou Kingdom would also have a chance to breathe, and at this critical moment, the Great Zhou Kingdom would also have the upper hand, and the conditions could be harsher to take advantage.
The emperor exhaled and looked at the smiling empress, "I said I don't have time to go shopping with you, but instead I asked you to accompany me here to read the book and handle the affairs."
"My concubine is accompanying the emperor, and the emperor is accompanying me. It's the same." The queen said, "Now that the New Year is approaching, affairs in the palace are busy, so I can steal half a day's leisure and eat a meal while here with the emperor. Eat tea, read for a while, and have fun for a long time.”
The queen's words were soft-spoken and considerate, and the smile on her face made her sound soothing and like a spring breeze.
Sure enough, no matter what time comes, having a wife is always the best.
The emperor sighed in his heart, and simply got up from the dragon chair, came down to the queen's side, shook her hand, "My hand is a little cold."
As he said that, he held both hands in his hands, lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The earth dragon in the hall is extremely hot. I shouldn't have cold hands, but my stomach is empty. The more I drink the tea, the hungrier I feel. Naturally, I feel a little cold."
The queen asked, "I don't know if I have the dignity to ask for some food from the emperor to satisfy my hunger temporarily?"
The young couple come together all the time, even though they are both in their forties now, when they talk funny things now, they have the same flirting as when they were young.
The emperor was also reminded of his past memories, and stretched out his hand to scratch the queen's nose, "Of course there is!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and called Ding Dahai to prepare.
In the palace, whether it is the queen or the concubines, princes, princesses, etc., if they suddenly want some snacks, they have to get them directly. Only the queen mother and the emperor have fresh ones ready for them to eat at any time. Now that the emperor was speaking, Ding Dahai hurriedly brought in several prepared snacks and soups.
He added, "What we have prepared today are milk cake, poria sugar cake, red date and rose cake, almond tofu, white fungus soup, fermented egg drop soup. In addition, Mr. Fan has already sent someone to deliver the things that the emperor previously ordered Mr. Fan Pingyang to ask for." In the palace, the slave has been inspected and there is nothing wrong. Would the Emperor and the Queen want to have a taste?”
"Okay, then bring it up together, and I will taste it with the queen."
The emperor spoke, but the queen was a little surprised, "Who did the emperor ask for some rare food from?"
"It was a young man who worked in the Hanlin Academy before. I thought he was calm and steady, and he had great ambitions, so I sent him to a small county in Bianguan to become the county magistrate. At first, I didn't care, but then I suddenly remembered that this place was the place where Queen Baiban was. The place where Xia Mingyue praised me asked Fan Pingyang to help me get some food from Xia Mingyue when he went to take office. "
The emperor smiled and explained, "It happened that the queen was here today. Since the food was delivered together, the queen would taste it with me to see how it tasted. Is it true that it is as popular as the rumors say? The food cooked by the chef is amazing.”
"Okay, then I will also enjoy some food with the emperor." The queen's expression moved slightly, and her smile did not diminish. "It's just that the emperor suddenly sent someone to ask for food. No matter how good Madam Xia is, she is just an ordinary person. Suddenly Hearing such oral instructions, I am afraid that fear will arise in my heart and affect my craftsmanship.”
"The queen's words are wrong." The emperor disagreed. "How can she have such superb cooking skills, help local officials with resettlement of refugees, enjoy high reputation and prestige, and be the wife of a military commander? Are they ordinary people? ”
"Furthermore, let's not talk about other things. Let's just say that a person who can be recognized by both you and Lan'er must be outstanding. Such a person will definitely be fearless in the face of danger, and will also make a move that is enough for me. Satisfied with the food.”
"Yes, what the emperor said is true." The queen agreed with a smile, but she did not agree in her heart.

She has been married to the emperor for many years, and it can be said that she knows the emperor very well.
But it was precisely because she knew so well that she understood the meaning behind the emperor asking Xia Mingyue for food.
The food Xia Mingyue sent determined the future fate of her, Lu Qiyan, and Xia Yunji.
The queen sighed slightly in her heart, but the palace servant brought a bunch of food to the table.
There is a dazzling array of dim sum and soups of various colors, with all kinds of colors, flavors and tastes, which look very tempting.
Among the pastries and soups they were familiar with, there were two things they had never seen before. Both of them looked rough and dull in color, and they both looked reddish-brown in color. But it looked ordinary.
These two things were particularly eye-catching among these exquisite delicacies, and they also aroused great interest in the emperor and empress.
There was no need for palace servants to serve. The emperor and the queen personally picked up a dull-looking piece of food, put it in their mouths, and took a tentative bite.
There is a bit of earthy taste in the mouth, but it is followed by a crispy aroma. After one bite, the salty fragrance comes to the door, but the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes...
This kind of fragrance is not available in any kind of food in the palace. The long and long fragrance from the depths of memory enters from the mouth, goes straight to the nose and stomach, and even penetrates into the heart, awakening the long-term storage. memory.
That was when he was still a child. Due to his poor family background, coupled with the uneven world and constant wars, it was not easy to have a full meal, and white-flour steamed buns were even more unexplored.
