Soon, the golden wound medicine was brought. Yuwen Lan did not ask Fu Hai to enter the hall, but took it to the bedside himself.

Yan Shu came out from the tent, trying to make amends, "Your Majesty, let me apply the medicine for you?"

Yuwen Lan handed her the medicine bottle.

Yan Shu applied it carefully.

She didn't know until she applied it. She really didn't expect that her teeth were so powerful that he could bite her like this.

Yuwen Lan, "???"

Are you still proud?

He snorted, "Your mouth is really powerful."

Yan Shu blushed and could only say, "Your concubine is ashamed."

In her heart, she couldn't help but complain, can she blame her for this, who wouldn't bite in that situation? Not letting him bite off a piece of meat was considered light.

Yuwen Lan hissed.

Yan Shu was startled and asked carefully, "Does it hurt?"

Yuwen Lan looked at her with a gloomy face, "Yeah."

Not only did it hurt, but she was also a little angry.

But she pursed her lips and came close to blow him.

Her pink cherry lips pursed into a round shape, like a delicate and juicy cherry, making people salivate.

Yuwen Lan's throat rolled darkly, and he couldn't help but recall the taste just now.

But he endured it.

Calming down at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. He came here to inquire tonight, why was he distracted by this woman again?

Did she do it on purpose?

At this moment, there was a voice outside the door.

It seemed that Fu Hai was scolding, "Don't you see what time it is now, you have no eyes!"

Another little eunuch whispered, "But, but His Majesty said..."

Huh? Is there something wrong?

Yan Shu hurriedly looked at Yuwen Lan.

Yuwen Lan asked directly, "What's the matter?"

The eunuch outside the door hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, Sichuan and Guizhou have just sent an urgent report, saying that freezing rain suddenly fell the day before yesterday, and tens of thousands of people were affected."

Yuwen Lan immediately stood up, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Hey, are you leaving?

Yan Shu hurriedly got up to help him dress, and asked carefully, "Is Your Majesty coming back?"

Yuwen Lan lowered his eyes and glanced at her, "Do you want me to come back?"

Yan Shu blinked her almond eyes and said unashamedly, "Yes, I hope Your Majesty will come back and rest as soon as possible."

But in her heart, she kept saying, [Please don't come back, I want to sleep alone, thank you...]

Yuwen Lan, "..."

He knew it.

Although he didn't want to see her happy, he could only tell her the truth, "I won't be back, go to sleep."

Sichuan and Guizhou are heavily-armed areas, and they are also important grain warehouses for the Great Yue. The disaster is certainly not a trivial matter.

Hearing her joy in her heart, [Finally, I can sleep well! ! ! ]

Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows again, "Are you happy?"

"No, no,"

Yan Shu shook her head like a wave drum, and pretended to be gentle and obedient. "I am just worried about your majesty's health. Your majesty is worried about the country and the people, so you should also pay attention to rest."

Yuwen Lan snorted, "I don't believe you."

A woman who says one thing and means another.

~~

Yuwen Lan was busy all night, mobilizing the national treasury, allocating grain and grass, and guarding against foreign enemies taking the opportunity to invade.

Yan Shu slept soundly in her new bed all night.

But the next morning, she got up and changed her clothes to pay respects to the empress dowager.

When she arrived at Ci'an Palace, she saw Concubine Zhou was there.

The empress dowager was sitting on the warm couch, and Concubine Zhou was standing beside her. I don't know if she was just scolded, her face looked a little bad.

She pretended not to see and hurriedly bowed to the two of them, but she saw that Concubine Zhou had changed her attitude from the day before and actually took the initiative to apologize to her. "It was a misunderstanding the night before. I hope Li Guiyi will not take it to heart."

Yan Shu had to follow suit, "Your Highness, you are too kind." The Queen Mother

said, "As concubines, you should put the king first in everything." After speaking,

she awarded Yan Shu a bracelet alone and said, "You are the first one in the harem to be promoted. It can be seen that you are in line with the emperor's wishes. You should seize the opportunity and have children for the emperor as soon as possible."

Yan Shu, "...Yes."

Tsk, this task is really a bit difficult.

Fortunately, after saying this, the Queen Mother ordered the two to retreat.

Yan Shu felt as if she had been pardoned, and hurried back to Ganlu Palace to enjoy breakfast.

However, when Concubine Zhou returned to Chonghua Palace, she immediately broke several teacups.

"I apologized to that scheming woman! If this continues, she will probably ride on my head?"

When she was first canonized, she was named a noble concubine because of her aunt-nephew relationship with the Queen Mother. She thought she was only one step away from the position of Empress. Who would have thought that she would not reach this step after so many years.

But that Li Yanshu, just because she broke a teacup at a palace banquet, was favored by His Majesty and was the first to be promoted to the throne!

Concubine An advised, "No matter how angry your Majesty is, you have to be patient. You just made His Majesty angry, and it's not a good idea to take action now." Concubine

Zhou snorted, "If you continue to be patient, she might not even give birth to a prince!"

Concubine An said, "How could that be? Even if your Majesty doesn't take action, there are people in the palace who hate her. Why don't you reap the benefits?"

Concubine Zhou was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "That's true."

- Concubine Ning has always been proud of her beauty and looked down on others. Now that His Majesty has been favoring Li Yanshu for several days, how can she bear it?

Then Concubine An whispered, "I heard that His Majesty sent Eunuch Fu Hai back to get the golden medicine at midnight last night."

"Golden medicine?"

Concubine Zhou paused, "That matter... still needs golden medicine?"

Concubine An whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, you don't know, a few days ago, several ministers saw His Majesty with a wound on his hand in the study. His Majesty said that he got the wound when he got up early to practice swordsmanship, but I have inquired and found that His Majesty did not go to the martial arts field that day."

Concubine Zhou was stunned again, "Could it be that someone hurt Your Majesty, but Your Majesty kept it secret?"

Concubine An nodded, "The person who hurt Your Majesty was probably someone Your Majesty cares about very much."

Concubine Zhou thought about it carefully, and suddenly it dawned on her, "Could it be Li Yanshu too? She is so brave that she actually dared to hurt Your Majesty! No, I have to report to the Queen Mother!" Concubine An

hurriedly stopped her and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is anxious again. We are just guessing and have no real evidence. How can we report to the Queen Mother? It is better to ask someone else to do it. Anyway, this is a serious crime and she will definitely not be able to escape."

~~

In the afternoon, it started snowing and it fluttered for most of the day. By the afternoon, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.

Yuwen Lan was busy at his desk, and when it was time to light the lamps, he still showed no intention of stopping.

Fu Hai couldn't bear it, so he reminded him, "Your Majesty, it's time to serve dinner."

Yuwen Lan didn't even raise his head, "Wait a moment."

Fu Hai couldn't help but feel anxious. Your Majesty had been busy all night and all day, and he didn't sleep well or eat well. What would happen if this continued?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea and said, "I just saw Li Guiyi sent someone to the kitchen, saying that they would have a hot pot tonight."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the king raise his eyes and said, "Hot pot?"

Fu Hai nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Li Guiyi is a master who pays attention to food. Eating hot pot on a snowy day is the most appropriate."

Yuwen Lan thought for a while, put down his pen, stood up and walked out the door, "Let's go and take a look."

It was still early today, and he must not be interrupted by her again.

~~

When Yuwen Lan arrived, the hot pot was already on the table.

The charcoal fire under the copper pot was slowly burning, and the bone soup in the pot was bubbling, and the whole hall was filled with warm fragrance.

Yan Shu was looking at the pot with a smile on her face.

Tsk tsk, meatballs, crispy meat, cabbage, vermicelli, tofu, and freshly cut lamb slices, all of them are perfect for hot pot. So it is different after the upgrade. How could we eat so much in the past?

She was drooling secretly when she saw Yuwen Lan stepping into the palace. She was startled and hurriedly led people to pay respects, "Your Majesty."

Why did this person come at this time? Don't delay people's meals!

Yuwen Lan pretended not to hear, glanced at the table, and said, "Why did you think of eating hot pot?"

Yan Shu tried to smile, "It's snowing today and the weather is cold, I thought of eating hot pot to warm up."

[As an emperor, of course you don't understand the troubles of us low-level concubines. I have been in the palace for three years and finally have a chance to eat hot pot today. Is it easy for me! ]

Yuwen Lan, "..."

How did he become his fault?

So eating a hot pot is a rare thing?

"It seems that I came at the right time,"

he walked to the table and sat down and greeted her, "Let's eat together."

Yan Shu, "???"

So you are here to eat for free?

She had to agree and walked over.

Rendong quickly added new bowls and chopsticks, and was about to leave, but she saw Fu Hai winking at her, looking at her, and then looking at the silver chopsticks on the table.

Rendong slowly understood that this meant that she was asked to serve the masters.

My God!

In the past, the masters never needed her help with meals, but today she had to serve the emperor? If she accidentally made His Majesty unhappy, would she be beheaded? Woohoo...

Yuwen Lan felt that it was noisy, and raised his hand and said, "I'll do it myself."

Rendong was overjoyed and stepped aside with a sense of relief.

The fragrance at the tip of her nose became stronger and stronger. Yan Shu swallowed her saliva several times. If the emperor had not been beside her, she would have eaten it first!

But the emperor seemed to be unable to smell the fragrance. He held the chopsticks and did not put them into the pot. Instead, he asked her slowly, "What did you eat when you were back home?"

She had no choice but to say, "My hometown, Ande, is not as wealthy as the capital. People mainly eat noodles, such as noodles, dumplings, steamed buns, and dumplings. There are also some famous snacks, such as pan-fried buns, salted noodles, donkey meat, and braised chicken."

Fu Hai interrupted and said, "Your Excellency is in luck. Ande Braised Chicken is famous far and wide!"

Yan Shu's eyes lit up, "Eunuch Fu really knows his business! Our Ande's braised chicken is a centuries-old recipe. The fresh chicken is stewed over high heat and simmered over low heat. When it is taken out of the pot, the meat is tender and tasty. The meat and bones are separated with a slight lift. Not only is the meat tasty, but the bones are also crispy and delicious! "

She became even hungrier when she mentioned this. She

left home when she was young and returned when she was old. Her accent has not changed, but her hair has turned gray. No matter how many delicious foods she has eaten in the palace, what she missed most is the food from her hometown.

Alas, it's a pity that the palace is as deep as the sea, and she doesn't know if she can taste the authentic braised chicken from her hometown again in this lifetime.

She glanced at the people around her with resentment, thinking that the emperor might as well be kind and let her go back one day!

Yuwen Lan listened to every word she said, and raised his eyebrows in his heart -

let her go back? That's impossible.

"Eat it. "

He finally reached his chopsticks into the pot.

Yan Shu was overjoyed and quickly followed suit. She picked up a beef meatball at the first touch.

After letting it cool a little, she put it into her mouth and was immediately satisfied. The meatball had a smooth skin and a juicy and salty inside. It was delicious even without dipping it in oil!

Next was the crispy pork. The originally crispy skin had absorbed the soup, which was a different flavor compared to eating it dry.

After eating the crispy pork, she picked up a piece of tofu. Wow, the fried tofu absorbed the soup more. In addition to the bean curd itself, it also had a strong flavor. The aroma of the food and the delicious flavor of the bone soup that burns your mouth are no less delicious than the meat.

Then pick up a piece of mutton blood tofu, which is crispy and tender with a sense of toughness, with an extremely delicate taste and full of flavor.

The most amazing thing is the mutton. The tender lamb leg meat is cut into thin slices, cooked by just a few dips in the hot soup, and then put into a bowl of sesame sauce, chives and fermented bean curd sauce and spun around. The taste is simply unstoppable.

Yuwen Lan had been trying to inquire carefully, but he didn't expect to hear so many delicious things.

- Meatballs, tofu, crispy meat, mutton, there is simply nothing she doesn't like.

But then again, he rarely pays attention to this kind of appetite on weekdays. After listening to it today, he found that these things are indeed delicious.

It is refreshing, tender, salty, rich, and there are so many other words to describe it.

Especially the mutton, dip it in the seasoning in the bowl and put it in your mouth, the fresh, salty and fragrant layer by layer, it is really good.

Yuwen Lan ate several chopsticks in a row, and was very happy, but she heard her anxiously saying in her heart, [Oh my god, this plate of mutton is not enough to eat! ]

[Isn’t this person eating well in his own palace, but he has to run to grab it from others? ]

[He didn’t even tell me in advance that he was coming, so that I could ask the kitchen to send more good dishes! ]

[Disgusting!!!]

Yuwen Lan, "???"

It’s really bold.

The author has something to say:

Yan Shu: You are not allowed to eat it, it’s mine!!!

A certain imperial commissioner said aggrievedly: Not even a bite?

Yan Shu: No!!!

Emperor: I feel wronged...
