Chapter 320 How many delicious foods did you eat behind his back?
The Empress Dowager's mind was on the potted lettuce, but Emperor Jingning, who was standing beside her, was dazzled by the Empress' smile and was stunned for a moment.
When the queen was young, she had a bright and generous appearance and a gentle and pleasant personality.
After being queen for many years, she became more dignified.
The smile just now added a touch of liveliness and vitality to the queen's beautiful face.
At that moment, Emperor Jingning seemed to see the empress when she was a girl again.
She has a beautiful face and a pretty face like a flower.
Her eyes are lively when she smiles, just like the peach blossoms blooming on the branches in spring.
Recalling the scene when the two first met, Emperor Jingning couldn't help but feel emotional.
The Queen always thought that they first met at a palace banquet.
In fact, Emperor Jingning had already met the Queen long before that.
Emperor Jingning, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, had an appointment with Prince An to meet in a private room in a teahouse, but Prince An was held up by something and did not arrive for a long time.
Emperor Jingning was getting a little bored waiting, so he held the teacup in his hand, drank tea, and looked out the window.
Just at this moment, a carriage stopped downstairs.
The coachman placed a stool in front of the carriage, and the maid opened the curtain and supported the nobleman inside.
Emperor Jingning just glanced at it casually, but was in a trance for a moment, and even his heart skipped a beat.
Later he found out that the person he met that day was Ruan Yan, the granddaughter of Duke Dingguo.
Coming back to his senses from the memories of the past, Emperor Jingning shook his head and smiled.
Time flies, the queen is still as beautiful as ever, but he is no longer the naive boy he used to be.
Emperor Jingning opened his mouth and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the Queen Mother's voice.
"Emperor, you have brought me some fresh food. I just asked someone to buy some fresh food at the food court. You and the queen can try it together."
Emperor Jingning was stunned. Fresh food in the food court?
"Mother, what food did you ask someone to buy?"
Although the Queen did not speak, she looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother did not answer their question, but just smiled and asked someone to bring the food.
The palace servants brought the oil paper packages to the table one by one, opened them, and then left.
Emperor Jingning and the Empress both looked at the things in the oil-paper bag. They had never seen such food before.
"Mother, what is this?"
The food looked very strange, like glutinous rice cake wrapped in fried dough sticks.
The fried dough stick is cut into two halves, with soft white glutinous rice cake in the middle, and a layer of black and white sesame seeds and white sugar on top, which looks very tempting.
The Queen Mother had someone present the fried dough sticks and mochi to Emperor Jingning and the Queen: "This is fried dough sticks and mochi, you can try it."
Emperor Jingning took a look at the fried dough sticks and mochi in front of him. The combination of fried dough sticks and glutinous rice cakes looked a bit weird.
I don't know how it tastes.
Emperor Jingning thought about it and picked up the fried dough sticks and mochi and brought it to his mouth.
He opened his mouth and took a bite, and his mouth was immediately filled with rich fragrance.
The fried dough sticks on the outside are crispy and delicious, with a full aroma of oil.
The mochi inside is soft and sticky. It changes shape when you bite it with your teeth and pull it gently. It is really interesting.
As you chew it, the softness of mochi and the sweetness of sesame spread in your mouth, and even your breath tastes sweet.
The Queen Mother and the Empress also picked up the fried dough sticks and mochi in front of them and tasted them carefully.
For a moment, the room was silent and no one spoke.
The fried dough sticks are crispy and the mochi is soft, glutinous and sweet. The two are perfectly combined to create a unique flavor.
When you take a bite, you first feel the crispy fragrance of the fried dough sticks, and then the soft and dense texture of the mochi.
Especially the delicate feeling of mochi melting gently on the tip of your tongue, as if a soft cloud is spreading between your lips and teeth.
The taste is rich and the more you eat, the more you like it.
Emperor Jingning swallowed the fried dough sticks and mochi in his mouth: "It's quite delicious."
After a pause, he sighed again: "I didn't expect that fried dough sticks and mochi, two completely unrelated foods, would taste so delicious when combined together."
The queen also nodded: "One salty and one sweet, one crispy and one soft, fried dough sticks and mochi are simply a perfect combination, so delicious."
The Queen Mother: "The food in the food court is naturally not bad. If it is not delicious, the Queen Mother would not have asked you to come."
She chewed the fried dough sticks and mochi with satisfaction, feeling that it was a wise move to have people regularly purchase new products from the food court.
It is said that it takes a lot of effort to make these fried dough sticks and mochi.
The sesame seeds on top need to be fried before mixing with sugar.
It takes a lot of time just to prepare the ingredients.
The fried dough sticks must be freshly fried and the mochi inside must also be freshly beaten to have this flavor.
Next, the three giants had no time to talk and just buried their heads in eating.
The palace fell silent again.
Emperor Jingning lowered his head and took a bite of the fried dough stick mochi. As he chewed, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
No, what the Queen Mother said is wrong!!
The Queen Mother did not ask anyone to call him; he came on his own.
Originally, he had no plan to come to his mother's place today, but he happened to meet some beautiful vegetable pots sent by the Sinong Temple, and he had just finished all his official duties, so he personally delivered the pots.
If he hadn't personally delivered the potted plants to his mother, she wouldn't have been able to eat the fried dough sticks and mochi! !
In other words, the Queen Mother had people buy fresh food but only called the Queen.
One of them is his mother and the other is his wife, but they secretly ate delicious food together without his knowledge!!
Yes, the last time Shen Huazheng made a Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake gift box, his mother and the queen had eaten up the newly made mooncakes behind his back.
Maybe they ate a lot of delicious food behind his back on weekdays.
The more Emperor Jingning thought about it, the angrier he became. His anger and grief immediately turned into appetite, and he chewed faster and faster.
He quickly finished his share and reached out his evil hands to the fried dough sticks and mochi on the table.
The Queen Mother and the Empress looked up belatedly, only to discover that the fried dough sticks and mochi on the table had disappeared.
Queen Mother: (⊙⊙)?
There were clearly some fried dough sticks and mochi on the table just now, how come they are gone all of a sudden?
Seeing Emperor Jingning munching on fried dough sticks and mochi, the empress dowager immediately understood.
She just knew it!!
Whenever the emperor was invited to eat something delicious, he would eat at least half of it.
It's like not having enough to eat at ordinary times.
So sometimes when someone bought her something delicious, she would never let them call her emperor.
But the emperor seemed to be able to smell something. Whenever she had something delicious, he would appear.
I don’t know if it’s because of a dog’s nose.
This day after day is really enough!!!
Queen: (_)
What should I do? My mother seems unhappy.
Your Majesty is really a fool. Please at least leave some for them.
How can I eat it all?
Your Majesty is not young anymore, why is he still acting like a child?
Well, I'd better ask someone to go to the food street to buy some fried dough sticks and mochi and send them to my mother.
Emperor Jingning felt much better after swallowing the last bite of fried dough sticks and mochi.
He stood up slowly and said goodbye: "Mother, I will go back first. I will come to see you tomorrow."
The Queen Mother was still sulking, not even bothering to lift her eyelids: "Okay, go back and do your thing."
She was worried that if she looked at this unfilial son for even a second longer, it would shorten her life.
The Queen stood up and saluted: "Farewell, Your Majesty."
Emperor Jingning is in a good mood now and doesn't care about the Empress Dowager's attitude.
He smiled at the queen and left.
