Chapter 341 A Good Girl
Chapter 341 A Good Girl
Zhao Jingyu was a little excited. He thought for a while and did not look back, but left step by step.
That night, Zhao Jingyu visited three households.
First he went to the Su Mansion and told Gu Zilu what Su Jin had said, and then he took Yuhuan's packed things and went to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion again.
Gu Zilu knew the reason almost immediately after receiving the news from Zhao Jingyu.
He frowned, but still wrote a letter and sent it back to the Su family in Hexi by carrier pigeon.
Gu Zilu felt a little heavy.
He originally thought that since Zhao Huaiguang had conferred the first-rank imperial edict on his mother, he would not do anything excessive again, but now it seems that he underestimated the young emperor.
Zhao Jingcheng is a cautious and kind emperor, but Zhao Huaiguang is definitely not. He is young and brave enough to take risks, but not reckless. Instead, he is good at calculating and introverted. Such a smart and patient person is not afraid, and is willing to take risks without failing. This is the real terrifying thing.
Now that Zhao Huaiguang has taken a rash step and left Su Jin in the palace, Gu Zilu is not sure how Zhao Huaiguang will resolve this matter.
But, for him, if he wants his mother to come back, he has to make a big deal out of this matter, just like when his mother made a big deal out of the divorce at the Enrong Banquet.
It is useless to use force against powerful people; you have to use your wits to defeat them.
The only one Gu Zilu could look for was the Hexi Su family. As for the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, he really couldn't rely on them at all.
So, Gu Zilu, Gu Suiyu and Gu Zilu all fell silent at the same time without making any noise.
When Su Jin learned about this, he nodded with satisfaction.
Yes, don't move.
If you move, things will change. As for who will change, it is hard to control. It is better to be still and wait and see what happens.
After all, he is now a first-rank emperor and lives in the Empress Dowager's palace. Moreover, Zhao Jingcheng is still there, so Zhao Huaiguang can't really do anything. These are all constraints on Zhao Huaiguang, and the young emperor can only follow the rules.
Su Jin thought a lot and the only solution now was to delay.
Let’s see who can outlast whom.
I have lived in my own small courtyard for so many years, and it would be nice to move into the palace now.
Su Jin went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager early in the morning.
As expected, the Grand Empress Dowager was still in a bad mood. Su Jin was not in a hurry. She greeted and left. The Grand Empress Dowager chanted Buddhist scriptures, and she meditated quietly on the side. At noon, the Grand Empress Dowager did not want to eat greasy food, so Su Jin went to the Grand Empress Dowager's small kitchen and made a tomato and egg dumpling soup. She kneaded the dumplings carefully and made them into the size of rice grains, which the old woman could eat without difficulty.
Tomatoes are still an emerging vegetable and their cooking methods have not been fully explored. However, Su Jin's tomato and egg dumpling soup has become a new dish.
When the food was served, everyone smelled a sour taste. The Empress Dowager had no appetite to begin with, but after smelling the sour taste she couldn't help feeling a little hungry.
Although she didn't like Su Jin, the soup was really delicious, so she asked Nanny Yun to serve her a small bowl. Once she started drinking it, she really couldn't stop and drank three bowls in one breath before stopping.
"Even if I drink your soup, I still don't like you!"
The Empress Dowager put down her bowl and did not forget to teach Su Jin that she did not need to please her. Su Jin smiled and said, "I just like cooking. It is my honor that the Empress Dowager is willing to eat it."
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction.
As for the leftovers, the Empress Dowager distributed them to the servants. However, there was a clever eunuch who took his portion of tomato and egg dumpling soup to the imperial study and personally gave it to Zhao Huaiguang.
"Your Majesty, this was made by Miss Su Liu herself, and I am presenting it to you specially."
Su Jin did it himself?
Zhao Huaiguang was obviously very interested, and his stern facial features softened.
I have known Su Jin for such a long time, but I have never eaten a meal cooked by Su Jin himself. Whenever I go out to play, Ning Ruolan always brings the cook with her.
Zhao Huaiguang thought carefully and confirmed that Su Jin had never made it before, and then he picked up the bowl of soup with great care.
Although the soup was cold, Zhao Huaiguang still smelled delicious.
The most important thing is that this bowl of soup was made by Su Jin, so it must be delicious even if it is cold.
He picked up the spoon and fiddled with it twice. Seeing that the lumps were as big as rice grains, a smile appeared in his eyes again.
Who would have thought that Miss Su Liu could be so dexterous.
He tasted it carefully and with extra care.
The soup is moderately salty, slightly sour, but also very fragrant. It tastes very smooth, and the sweet taste of tomatoes melts in the soup, accompanied by smooth egg flowers, which is extremely mellow in the mouth.
"tasty!"
Tomato is a flavor I have never tasted before. Now it tastes fresh and strange, but it is especially delicious.
It is also sour, but it tastes different from vinegar. It has a slightly sweet taste with sourness.
tasty.
"Your Majesty, Miss Su Liu is really skillful. She can roll the dough into the size of rice grains and make it so even. I can only say that Miss Su Liu is really a good cook."
In ancient times, the more virtuous a woman was, the more popular she was. There was no woman who didn't like to be praised for her dexterity.
Zhao Huaiguang was also very happy when he heard this, and drank it all in one gulp.
He ordered people to reward the young eunuch, and instructed that the delicious food made by Su Jin should be delivered to him in the future.
The little prince left happily.
At the same time, Su Jin was finally able to sit next to the Empress Dowager.
It's boring to be alone, and it's also boring to be with the Empress Dowager, but at least there's someone around, and I have company when I eat and drink.
When the Empress Dowager worshipped Buddha, she followed suit and meditated. When the Empress Dowager took care of flowers and plants, she asked for advice.
"If this cut branch can survive, please give it to me. I will take it back and plant it. This is something you, the Grand Empress Dowager, have served me. If I take it back and plant it, my yard will also be blessed with a touch of gold and preciousness, making my humble home more glorious."
Su Jin's mouth was as sweet as honey.
Even Zhao Yingqiao was delighted by her praise, let alone the elderly Empress Dowager.
In a single day, the Empress Dowager, who never liked Su Jin, became cheerful whenever she saw her.
"What delicious food are you going to make for me tonight?"
Su Jin said: "Empress Dowager, although you cannot eat greasy food, you cannot only eat vegetarian food. If you want to keep your body healthy, you have to eat meat. I will make you a non-greasy ham, shrimp and tofu fried with corn and pork ribs soup, and a plate of green vegetables. You can digest it, and it will also nourish your body..."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager couldn't stop smiling.
Tofu is her favorite dish. The corn is new and everyone says it is delicious. Today I can try it with the pork ribs and corn soup. There is also a dish of green vegetables, which sounds like it will relieve the greasiness.
The Empress Dowager thought of the tomato and egg dumpling soup at noon and began to look forward to dinner again. She couldn't help but said, "Then go now. I'm waiting to eat!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Su Jin was not annoyed. He turned around and left happily, taking her away. Only then did the Empress Dowager sigh.
"Girl, she's a good girl."
