Chapter 23: Boil fish soup and let the dog emperor drink the soup, and then □□ for a night...
A step was left on the side of the pavilion for the eunuchs to clean duckweed on weekdays, and also for the masters to feed the koi in the lake in their spare time.
Su Mian was standing at this position to fish.
At this moment, his homemade peach branch fishing rod had been bent into a perfect parabola. Su Mian was struggling fiercely with the unknown fish in the water. Seeing that the peach branch was about to break, the fish finally broke out of the water.
It is a small grass carp the size of a palm.
“Wow—Ahhh!!!”
Su Mian didn't have time to be happy because the hook made of needle was unstable. Just as he pulled the fish in front of him, the fish's mouth was unhooked, and after struggling for a few times, it slid down the stairs.
How could Su Mian just watch the fish he had finally caught flopping back into the water? So Cheng Changgeng witnessed Su Mian lunging towards the stairs.
"Su Mian!"
Following Su Mian's actions, Cheng Changgeng shouted nervously, not caring about his image as an emperor, and immediately rushed into the pavilion.
From his angle, he couldn't see what was happening to Su Mian, but he also didn't hear any sound of anything falling into the water.
He rushed over eagerly, only to find that Su Mian was lying on the stairs, with his hand on the last step, holding the fish tightly.
Perhaps he heard Cheng Changgeng calling him, because when Cheng Changgeng rushed over, he saw him lying there in a mess and turned his head to smile at him.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Seeing that he was fine, Cheng Changgeng breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "If I hadn't come, there would be no one to collect your body if you died."
It was obvious that these words were spoken in anger, but Su Mian didn't understand. What was the Dog Emperor angry about?
But his next words made Cheng Changgeng no longer angry.
"Your Majesty, look, I caught some fish specially to make soup for you to nourish your body."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Changgeng's body froze, and he felt an inexplicable softness in his heart.
So he worked so hard just to make fish soup for himself?
But before he could feel any more joy, his movement to help him up froze in place.
Just because he heard Su Mian whispering in his heart:
[Hehe, I'll add a lot of seasoning to the fish soup and let the dog emperor bully me, hum! ]
Okay, okay, he was just moved by himself. He knew that Su Mian couldn’t hold back any good words.
"Since you have nothing to do, get up quickly. It's not nice to be in public."
The original concern turned into scolding as soon as he spoke.
Su Mian turned his head and curled his lips. In his opinion, he was so attentive and spoke so nicely, but the dog emperor was not moved at all!
[You are indeed a tyrant!] ]
[No one loves him! Should! ]
Cheng Changgeng was hurt, but he just shook his head helplessly, knowing that Su Mian just had a childish temper and didn't bother with him.
But after Su Mian finished scolding, she discovered something embarrassing.
He was now upside down with his head down and his butt up, holding the fish with both hands for fear that it would run away, but his hands were completely powerless...how could he get up?
Therefore, he could only turn his head and look at Cheng Changgeng again with grievance: "Your Majesty, can you send someone to help me get the fish..."
This time, Cheng Changgeng was really amused by him. He couldn't help laughing, but quickly put away his smile and ordered Xiao Dezi behind him to come forward to help.
Su Mian caught Cheng Changgeng's smile, but felt that the dog emperor was laughing at his own embarrassment. He secretly drew circles and cursed in his heart:
[Draw a circle to curse the dog emperor, who won’t be able to sleep with a man for a month! ]
In his opinion, this was the most vicious curse for a tyrant who was blinded by lust!
But Cheng Changgeng disagreed. He had no interest in the men in the original owner's harem and hoped that they would stop bothering him.
However, accidents always happen inexplicably. The next second when Xiao Dezi stepped forward to help Su Mian up, Su Mian's feet slipped and his whole body fell backwards.
At the critical moment, he threw the fish into the pavilion, and it happened to fall into Cheng Changgeng's arms.
Something was thrown at him and Cheng Changgeng subconsciously caught it with his hand, resulting in him hugging the lively grass carp in his arms. Before he could even get disgusted by the sticky feeling in his hand, he was splashed with water from Su Mian and Xiao Dezi falling into the lake.
He announced that it was not appropriate to go out today, and he should not come to care about Su Mian.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and save them!"
Without bothering to wipe the water stains off his face, Cheng Changgeng ordered the young eunuch behind him to rush to rescue the people.
However, before the young eunuch could get down, Su Mian had already rescued Xiao Dezi, who was struggling with his arms outstretched.
Su Mian knew how to drink water, so he choked on it.
"Eunuch Su...when did you learn to swim?"
The young eunuch was stunned. He remembered that the last time Eunuch Su fell into the water, he almost drowned. How could he be able to swim in just a few days...
The young eunuch's unintentional words set off alarm bells in Su Mian and Cheng Changgeng's hearts.
"Last time, last time I had a leg cramp, and I kept getting water."
This reason makes sense.
Cheng Changgeng was also worried about Su Mian, but fortunately he was smart and didn't reveal his true identity.
"Okay, stop standing here. This is so embarrassing."
Cheng Changgeng threw the fish in his hand back into Su Mian's arms with disgust, wiped his hands on his clothes, turned around and left.
After all, he is the emperor, and what happened today was really inappropriate.
Su Mian stood there guiltily, his whole body wet and his head lowered, fearing that the Dog Emperor would sentence him to death in the next second. After all, he saw it before he fell, and he almost threw the fish on the Dog Emperor's face.
He even thought that if he really fell on the dog emperor's face, he might as well drown himself.
Fortunately, the Dog Emperor didn't seem to want to pursue the matter, so he followed him from a distance and returned to Mingzheng Hall together.
Following Cheng Changgeng all the way back, Su Mian stood in the Mingzheng Hall. She didn't dare to go back to change clothes without Cheng Changgeng's order.
He lowered his head, always feeling that someone was staring at him. He couldn't help but look up, and found that the Dog Emperor seemed to... be looking at his crotch?
Startled, Su Mian immediately lowered his head to look at his □□. As expected, his clothes were stuck to his body because they were wet, outlining the outline of his lower body. It was hard not to be suspicious.
[It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, the dog emperor won’t find out that I’m not a real eunuch, right? ]
[What should I do? What should I do? ]
Su Mian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but he didn't dare show it on his face. He was so nervous that he was afraid to hear the Dog Emperor's verdict on him in the next second.
Listening to the chatter in Su Mian's head, Cheng Changgeng felt like teasing him. After all, it was summer and he wouldn't get sick after just a short while.
"Su Mian."
Cheng Changgeng stared at Su Mian's lower body and spoke suddenly, scaring Su Mian so much that his legs almost went weak and he fell to his knees.
"Your Majesty, what do you want?"
"What's in your pants?"
[It’s over, Barbie Q is gone, I, Su Mian, am really going to sleep now. ]
"No... no, haha, Your Majesty, you must have seen it wrong."
"It looks bulging, as if there is something hidden inside."
Cheng Changgeng stood up and walked down from the desk. He walked slowly to Su Mian's side, circled around him, and deliberately asked:
"Could it be that there is another fish?"
Every step he took made Su Mian tremble with fear.
[Thing, thing, what is it. ]
Su Mian felt like the CPU in his brain was about to burn out.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered that when Rong Ceqing left, Rong Ceqing stuffed a big peach into his pocket.
With a plop, Su Mian knelt down without hesitation, and said tremblingly while reaching into his pocket, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I deserve to die. I shouldn't have stolen Rong Ceqing's peaches."
As he spoke, he took out a peach from his trouser pocket with trembling hands and held it in front of Cheng Changgeng. The peach had some water marks from being bruised and didn't look very good.
"oh?"
Cheng Changgeng raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that someone could come up with a way to deceive him at this time.
"Tell me why you cheated."
"I went to investigate a case today and saw that the peaches planted by Rong Ceqing were really tempting, so I couldn't help but pick one and put it in my pocket. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Only Su Mian could take out a peach from his trouser pocket to hide the fact that he had a penis.
"As my personal eunuch, your greed really damages my image. Since you have admitted your mistakes, I will not send you to the court of trial."
[Phew——Luckily, I escaped the disaster. The Dog Emperor is indeed not very smart. ]
"I'll fine you three months' salary."
[What? ! ! ! Otherwise, you dog emperor, just send me to the court of justice and give me a beating.
Su Mian wanted to cry but had no tears. Compared with the physical pain, fining him was tantamount to taking his life. The pain in his heart was difficult to heal!
But the matter was done, Su Mian naturally did not dare to provoke the tyrant in front of him. He could only admit defeat and secretly curse the dog emperor in his heart.
"Okay, go down and change your clothes. Didn't you say you prepared fish soup for me?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will prepare it right away."
[Since the dog emperor has come to my door on his own initiative, don't blame me for being rude, hehehehehe. ]
Su Mian retreated happily, went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went straight to the kitchenette.
The grass carp he caught was neither too big nor too small, more than enough to make a cup of soup for the Dog Emperor. Moreover, he planned to add more ingredients, so he didn't have to worry about not having enough.
Originally, Su Mian planned to add more strong-flavored condiments, such as chili peppers, star anise, and pepper, so that he could pretend that what he was making was a local specialty.
But after what happened just now, Su Mian suddenly changed his mind.
If he put too much seasoning and the dog emperor was unhappy, he would fine him three months' salary, and he would have worked for half a year for nothing!
Workers will not allow this kind of thing to happen a second time!
So, Su Mian rummaged through the small kitchen, found a bunch of good things, and poured them all into the fish soup.
These include but are not limited to wolfberry, red dates, longan, deer antler, sea cucumber, etc. These are the most supplements he has found in the small kitchen.
The main point is to make the dog emperor drink this bowl of soup and not be able to sleep for the whole night!
Just thinking about the scene of the dog emperor lying upright on the bed, Su Mian couldn't control the upturned corners of her mouth and the pouting of her apple cheeks.
In this way, when the fish soup is ready, it has a good color, aroma and taste, and there is nothing unusual about it. Su Mian took a bite and it was so delicious!
Cheng Changgeng, who was busy reviewing the memorials, knew nothing about this for the time being...
