Chapter 205 The Emperor Requests

Jiang Jiu had just gotten up and hadn't washed up yet. He was stunned for a moment and asked without any intention.

"It's the middle of the night, His Majesty is not asleep, why are you looking for me?"

Master Yiyun choked. This tone...sounded familiar.

He coughed lightly and kindly reminded, "Princess, please be careful with your words."

Jiang Jiu curled his lips and winked at Taohua, who immediately took out some change.

"Our princess has a straightforward character. I'll need your advice later."

Master Yiyun actually doesn't care about this little bit of silver, but accepting it is an attitude that can put the other party at ease.

He didn't even look at it, but stuffed it into his sleeve pocket: "Definitely."

It can be considered as an agreement.

Taohua was very happy and served tea and snacks very attentively.

Here, Yun Shu also did her makeup skillfully.

Not long after, Jiang Jiu drank a bowl of lotus seed, tremella, bird's nest soup while waiting for Yun Shu to fix her hair, ate some snacks, filled his stomach and prepared to leave.

After all, he was the emperor, and she didn't dare to let him wait too long.

Finally arrived at the emperor's bedroom, heaven gave it to me.

Zhao Zhuoxi had already placed a table full of dishes. When he saw Jiang Jiu coming, he raised his eyelids.

"Let's eat together."

Jiang Jiu looked at the emperor's dishes, which only consisted of a few plates, and clicked his tongue.

"Your Majesty, the emperor eats at a large table, but you only have a few dishes. Is that enough?"

Having said that, he sat down at the dining table casually.

There were palace maids who brought her bowls and chopsticks and served her food.

Zhao Zhuoxi ignored her and saw her sit down and picked up the chopsticks.

Not to mention the palace maids, they were really well-trained. Wherever Zhao Zhuoxi glanced, there would be palace maids picking up food.

The first chopsticks were used to taste it myself, and there were no problems.

The second palace maid then went to pass the food to the emperor.

It was the same with Jiang Jiu. When the palace maid saw the fish, she picked it up. After she tasted it, another palace maid picked up some and gave it to Jiang Jiu to eat.

Not to mention, the food in the palace wasn’t very tasty either.

Jiang Jiu took a bite of the fish, swallowed it with difficulty, and couldn't help complaining.

"The fish in the palace is still so fishy. It will not taste good if it gets cold."

Zhao Zhuoxi was slightly startled, and just when everyone thought he was going to get angry, he just raised his eyelids and looked at them.

Jiang Jiu took another look at the other dishes. The palace maid had picked them up, but there was a piece of ginger on the dish, which Jiang Jiu picked out.

When the palace maids picked up food, they didn't dare to bring too many things.

Jiang Jiu likes to eat meat, but is afraid of getting fat, so she eats very little. She eats a lot of vegetarian dishes, which contain various condiments, but she doesn't like them either.

They were all picked out, but she did not blame the palace maids, she chose them all herself.

Just like that, after picking and choosing, the meal was finished.

Zhao Zhuoxi was full, and seeing that Jiang Jiu was still eating, he didn't put down his chopsticks and just stayed with him.

Until Jiang Jiu started drinking the soup,

After drinking the soup, it meant that she had really finished the meal.

After Jiang Jiu had eaten his fill, rubbed his stomach, put down his chopsticks, rinsed his mouth and wiped his mouth, Zhao Zhuoxi put down his chopsticks.

The eyelids were lowered, hiding the shock and waves deep in the eyes.

"Her eating habits are exactly the same as hers. She drinks soup first to warm her stomach, eats vegetables without seasonings, likes fish, likes meat, but likes vegetables more, and finally, she still eats soup..."

After finishing his meal, Zhao Zhuoxi stood up and brought Jiang Jiu to the main hall.

Pointed to a guqin on the table.

"Play a song for me."

Although the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo was very spoiled, she was also good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

But Jiang Jiu couldn't do that. Even though she could sing, she didn't know any ancient music scores at all.

I remember that Yao Qin played her music quite well in the past.

Since she liked him so much in the past, playing a song should be able to relieve her boredom.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jiu pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and refused.

"Your Majesty, I came to the palace to be your queen, not to play music for you to relieve your boredom. If you want to listen to music, please ask someone else to go."

Zhao Zhuoxi turned his head in shock and stared at Jiang Jiu.

But she wasn't afraid at all, nor did she look shy. She just stared at him with a stubborn look on her face.

"Then let's play chess."

This time Jiang Jiu simply shook his head: "I can't."

"I don't know how to play Go, but can I play Gobang?"

Zhao Zhuoxi was slightly stunned. She was a Go master and could tie with him.

The starlight in his eyes gradually dimmed.

He waved his hand and let her go back.

Jiang Jiu felt somewhat looked down upon and glared at Zhao Zhuoxi with dissatisfaction.

"You called me over here just to eat with you?"

"I thought the palace was the most luxurious place, with the best food, but it was just so-so, and most importantly, it was cold."

"It's such a long distance from the kitchen to the bedroom, and the weather is so cold, it's suitable for eating hot pot... Humph, I won't eat with you in the future."

Jiang Jiu said this and turned away.

But Zhao Zhuoxi called her.

"What did you just say? Eating hot pot?"

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows: "Forget it, forget it. I see you don't have this kind of thing here. Forget it, I won't say anything. I will do it myself later..."

Zhao Zhuoxi smiled and said, "Then come back tomorrow night and I'll treat you to hot pot."

As a result, in the evening of the next day, Master Yiyun came to call Jiang Jiu again.

This time it’s really hot pot.

Jiang Jiu found it strange when he saw it: a large copper pot with charcoal fire inside, surrounded by several plates of mutton rolls, beef rolls, vegetables, vermicelli, tofu, bean curd skin, and even more amazingly, fish balls.

Modern hotpots are all similar. If you didn’t know, Jiang Jiu would think he had traveled back in time.

"Ah, this, this..."

Your Majesty, you have also traveled through time.

Jiang Jiu suddenly blurted out: "Palace Jade Liquor..."

This is a secret code that everyone knows nowadays. If the secret codes match, it means that the two of them are of the same kind.

It’s a pity that Zhao Zhuoxi didn’t match up.

He frowned and said, "Why don't you sit down and eat? Isn't this the hot pot you wanted?"

Yes, it is exactly the same.

Jiang Jiu was a little unwilling to give up and asked another question.

"This is the yakiniku, and it comes in clear soup. I can't eat anything too spicy, only slightly spicy, very lightly spicy."

There are two kinds of hotpot developed here, clear soup and 鴻鴻. The 鴻鴻 has clear soup on one side and spicy food on the other, but the spiciness is just average.

Not to mention Jiang Jiu can't eat spicy food, no one in Daning can eat spicy food.

Zhao Zhuoxi raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "It's clear soup, the chili is on the side, you can season it according to your own taste."

Jiang Jiu looked at the seasoning box beside him, which contained sesame paste, minced garlic, chili pepper, and soy sauce.

The flavor is quite rich, and I can't help but guess that there must be a time traveler in this era.

Otherwise, how did these things come here?

The windows in the palace are made of glass, people use soap to take a bath, and now there are hot pots and soy sauce...

Although it is from ancient times, it has a modern feel everywhere.

Jiang Jiu sat down puzzledly, and his mouth was watering at the familiar smell of hot pot.

No matter what, as long as her ancestors are around, she can just enjoy her life.

As soon as she stretched out her chopsticks, the palace maid had already cooked the meat and put it in her bowl.

Jiang Jiu ate with big mouthfuls, and Zhao Zhuoxi felt hungry just by looking at him.

What Jiang Jiu didn't notice was that her seasoning was prepared by Zhao Zhuoxi himself.

Half a bowl of sesame paste, a little minced garlic, and a little chili pepper is her favorite.
