Chapter 88: Didn’t you promise to take him out of the palace?
"It's no fun to tell you about this, just go and see for yourself when the time comes."
Chu Yuni smiled and said, "Room No. 1 in Yongping Building, you won't be disappointed."
When Song Yunchu saw his mysterious look, he became more and more curious, "Are you so sure that I will like your gift?"
"I dare to guess that you will like it. Of course, if you don't like it so much after watching it, I will follow your suggestions and prepare something better next time."
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Song Yunchu stopped asking.
It would be meaningless to reveal the surprise too early. Chu Yuni wanted to keep it mysterious, so she let him do it.
"Your Excellency, I believe you still have a lot of government affairs to deal with, right? I will not waste your time. Please remember that it is the day after tomorrow at noon, Room 1, Yongping Building."
"Okay, I'll remember the truth."
As Song Yunchu was talking, he suddenly remembered something and instructed, "The Minister of the Ministry of Rites has been dismissed from his post and demoted to a commoner. He will soon be expelled from the imperial city. Go and monitor his whereabouts and see who he will contact later. We have to collect witnesses or physical evidence to find out who is behind him."
"yes."
…
The next day, after the court meeting, Song Yunchu went to the imperial study as usual.
There were not many memorials today, so Song Yunchu did not slack off. He thought that he could help the emperor deal with them as soon as possible so that he could go back early.
After reading all the memorials on the table, Song Yunchu glanced at the sky outside. It was not yet noon, and she was about to take her leave when she heard Jun Liluo say, "Yunchu, it's almost time for dinner. Please stay and have dinner with me."
Song Yunchu was actually not very willing to stay.
[Because the dog emperor has a poor appetite recently, the imperial kitchen dare not make greasy dishes, and mostly makes vegetarian dishes. It's okay to eat it once or twice, but who can eat it more than once. ]
[But I can't tell him I want to eat meat, right? The imperial kitchen is completely based on his recent dietary preferences. It would be so rude for a minister like me to be picky.]
[Only the fresh bamboo shoots and black fungus dish tasted good, the other dishes were rather bland. I wish the dog emperor could ask them to change the dishes, like they used to have a mix of meat and vegetables, which would be tasty.]
Although he was complaining in his heart, in front of Jun Liluo, Song Yunchu still responded calmly, "Yes."
After all, in everyone's eyes, being able to dine with the emperor is a blessing. Even if she doesn't like to eat, there is no need to refuse to eat with him.
After Jun Liluo finished reviewing the memorial in front of him, he put down his pen and instructed Li Zongguan beside him: "I haven't eaten drunken sweet shrimp for a long time. Tell the imperial kitchen to prepare it at noon."
When Song Yunchu heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.
[Drunken sweet shrimp? Good job, dog emperor, you are finally willing to add some meat. ]
[I can’t remember how long it has been since I last saw this dish. I really miss it. ]
Jun Liluo found it somewhat amusing.
Song Yunchu always pretends to be serious on the surface, but secretly he thinks a lot about food.
In fact, the vegetarian dishes made by the imperial kitchen tasted quite good, but Song Yunchu loved meat. After eating a few more vegetarian meals, he began to complain in his heart.
This guy never picks and chooses about food in front of him, as if he doesn't care much about his appetite, but he is very picky in his heart.
He knew that Song Yunchu liked to eat drunken sweet shrimps, and he had previously ordered the imperial kitchen not to make this dish in order to punish this person for always scolding him in his heart, which was really disrespectful to him. But now think about it -
This man had no manners to begin with, and his words were even more unpleasant in front of the civil and military officials. There was really no need for him to bother with these trivial matters.
Soon, palace servants came in one after another carrying the imperial meal.
"When you're not around, Yunchu, I always eat alone, which is really boring."
Jun Li Luo said casually, "If you have any dishes you like, you can also tell me, and I will ask the imperial chef to prepare them later."
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Song Yunchu smiled faintly, "It is my honor that Your Majesty allows me to have dinner with you."
[Dog Emperor, stop being polite. It's time to eat. Hurry up and start eating.]
Jun Liluo looked at Song Yunchu's inconsistent expression, snorted inwardly, and picked up the chopsticks.
Song Yunchu then started to eat as well. Among the plain dishes on the table, the drunken sweet shrimp stood out particularly.
This dish uses only large-sized shrimps of extremely high quality. The imperial chef adds fine wine during the cooking process. When you put the shrimp in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness and the aroma of the wine. The meat is firm and chewy, which is absolutely wonderful.
Although she loved to eat, she would never lose her manners. She would not eat up a single dish in front of the emperor. She would taste every dish and try not to reveal her preferences.
Jun Li Luo knew that she was pretending to be serious, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Song Yunchu always said that he was good at pretending, but he felt that it was the same for them.
He remembered that yesterday in the hall, Song Yunchu was still thinking about taking him out to eat spicy hot pot tomorrow, which was a day off.
He really wanted to see what kind of food it was.
If Song Yunchu wanted to take him out of the palace, he would definitely ask for his consent first.
But what Jun Liluo didn't expect was that until after lunch, Song Yunchu didn't mention to him about taking him out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else important, I will take my leave."
Jun Li Luo felt a little unhappy when he heard this.
Didn’t we agree to take him out to relax on the day off?
Something that you just thought about yesterday, you forgot today?
Seeing that Jun Liluo didn't say anything, Song Yunchu was a little confused, "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say?"
Jun Liluo said, "It seems like I haven't gone outside the palace to relax for a long time."
"Your Majesty is diligent and always busy with government affairs, which is a blessing for the people." Song Yunchu said seriously, "If Your Majesty is willing, I will take you out of the palace on the next day off to relieve your boredom."
Jun Liluo listened to this and subconsciously asked, "Why not tomorrow?"
"Today's weather is not very good, and it may rain tomorrow." Song Yunchu said without hesitation, "Once it rains, there will be nothing to do on the street. Besides... I have an appointment with a beautiful lady tomorrow. If Your Majesty wants me to accompany you, I will have to disappoint you."
Jun Liluo: "..."
It turned out that he was going to accompany Jiang Rumin.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Song Yunchu's inner thoughts.
[The dog emperor doesn't look very happy. He seems really bored. I originally wanted to take him out of the palace tomorrow, but Chu Yuni and I have an appointment for tomorrow. If I leave my little brother aside just to make the dog emperor happy, wouldn't that be a bit unfair? ]
[After all, that guy prepared a surprise for me. It might be some rare treasure. If I missed it, he would be very disappointed and feel that his efforts were in vain.]
[Well, thinking about it, I should go meet my little brother. Isn't the purpose of a day off to make myself happy? I coax my boss, and others coax me. Of course, I choose the latter, hehe. ]
Jun Liluo: “……!”
