Chapter 82: See What Your Majesty Does
Eunuch Li always felt that the emperor was acting strange today. For example, now he had been reading a memorial for a long time but had not turned a page.
Eunuch Li suddenly thought of Xiaojiu who had just left in a panic...
He narrowed his eyes...
Your Majesty, have you finally come to your senses?
Eunuch Li suddenly wanted to cry.
Your Majesty finally, finally, finally got it.
At this time, Xiao Fuzi came.
"What's the matter?" asked Eunuch Li.
Xiao Fuzi glanced at his master before saying, "Lady Wang is here..."
Eunuch Li looked at the emperor. Since His Majesty has become wise, he is full of vigor and vitality. It is impossible for him to like only one of the three thousand beauties in the harem, right?
So Eunuch Li said, "Your Majesty, Lady Wang made a local snack and said she wanted to give it to Your Majesty to try..."
The emperor raised his head and looked at Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li couldn't figure out what he meant. Was he happy or unhappy?
Then the emperor was heard saying, "Let her in."
He has three thousand beauties in his harem.
Since Xiaojiu can do it, others can do it too.
The emperor and Eunuch Li came to the same conclusion.
He was ready to give it a try.
…
As for An Jiu, he couldn't help but pat his chest as soon as he walked out the door.
She felt that the way the emperor looked at her just now was very strange, perhaps he really wanted to strangle her to death.
Just because she said something to King Jing that she shouldn’t have?
But wasn't the situation critical at the time? He himself said he forgave me. He shouldn't have been so rude...
Is it because the tyrant gave her his little ingot?
That’s really too much…
Why is an emperor so stingy? Do you spend money by staying in the palace?
It's just Zhou Pa Pi.
It seems that the little tyrant is easier to serve. He listens to everything Anjiu says. Even if he is in a bad mood, he can be coaxed...
Thinking of this, An Jiu decided not to hang around the emperor today. She was free anyway and suddenly she wanted to have cake. Maybe she could make a Basque cake herself?
There was milk, and because the emperor liked it, the imperial kitchen had been sending it recently, so An Jiu went to Aunt Qu to ask for lemons.
She remembered that lemons combined with milk could make homemade lemon cheese.
Aunt Qu was very happy when she heard this: "What else do you want?"
An Jiu asked for some blueberries, sugar and other things. Making cakes requires an oven, but we don’t have one here. I wonder if the imperial kitchen has one?
Aunt Qu sent someone there, and they brought the things back soon, and told An Jiu that there really was an oven in the imperial kitchen.
An Jiu started to wash the lemons, squeeze out the lemon juice, then find a pot, boil milk, and then add the lemon juice.
The casein in the milk reacts with the acid, and the acid coagulates the casein and turns it into tofu dregs...
Filter with gauze, what comes out is whey, and the rest is cheese.
The moment he saw the cheese, Anjiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Half the battle is won...
Add some salt to the cheese and taste it. It has a light lemon scent. Mix it with a spoon, then add eggs and sugar, and the batter is ready...
Next we will go to the imperial kitchen to grill it.
Aunt Qu brought An Jiu with her. Zhang An, the new head steward of the imperial kitchen, was a very perceptive man. When An Jiu and the others arrived, the kitchen had already been cleared.
The imperial kitchen often makes snacks, and the molds are particularly beautiful. An Jiu found a few, poured the batter into them, and then put them in the oven to bake. The oven here was built by himself, so it was not easy to control the temperature. He tried it first, and looked at the fire several times. Finally, when it came out of the oven, the fire was a little too high.
Next, Anjiu added blueberry jam to the pot. This time the heat was perfect and the cake came out very beautiful...
Soon, cakes of all sizes are ready and just need to cool.
As soon as Aunt Qu and An Jiu took the food away, Wang Decai came over. His pale and red face scared Zhang An.
"Eunuch Wang, what brings you here?" Zhang An asked politely with a smile.
Wang Decai looked at him sideways.
"The one who just left was Aunt Qu from His Majesty's side, right?"
Zhang An nodded: "Aunt Qu came over and got some snacks ready, saying that His Majesty might not know when to eat."
This answer is flawless.
Wang Decai said: "The Queen Mother is also hungry..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang An smiled and said, "We still have the crystal vegetarian buns from lunch. If your Majesty wants some, I'll make them right away."
Wang Decai looked at him, and Zhang An felt that Wang Decai's eyes were like a poisonous snake, as if it would bite him at any time when he was not prepared.
Wang Decai said: "The Empress Dowager and His Majesty are mother and son. There is no overnight hatred between mother and son. They are most afraid of outsiders interfering. Some people just can't see the situation clearly and are too smart. They will be the ones who suffer in the end."
Zhang An was surprised: "There are still people like this? That's really not smart."
Wang Decai's eyelids drooped, and he was staring at Zhang An coldly, as if he was about to open his eyes.
But Zhang An didn't buy it at all.
There is no such thing as a mother and son having a grudge overnight. The emperor and the empress dowager are not biological mother and son.
Since he was a child, he has never heard of any stepmothers having a good relationship with their stepsons.
He did all this at the emperor's instruction, which was His Majesty's will. If he dared to disobey it, he would be courting death.
Besides, isn't it just a few vegetarian meals? You've been feeding the emperor for so long, and now it's your turn, and you can't stand it for two days?
Who are you trying to scare here?
Zhang An smiled and didn't respond to anything Wang Decai said. Finally, Wang Decai left with a gloomy face.
When he left, he wanted to kill Zhang An immediately.
Zhang An didn't mind and returned to the kitchen. He was a little curious about what Aunt Qu and the others had done just now.
Zhang An was a smart man. He knew that the emperor's small kitchen also had a stove, so if there were any good things in the imperial kitchen these days, he would bring them to the emperor first. He felt that this was what a normal person should do.
No matter how powerful the empress dowager is, she can only control the harem at most; the world belongs to the emperor.
An Jiu brought the cake back and put it in a cool place. She planned to go back and do some needlework.
When she first came here, An Jiu couldn't even sew a pair of socks.
Now she is trying to learn it. She is still young. If the girls in ancient times could learn it, she can learn it too. In the future, it will be convenient for her to sew and mend clothes by herself, saving her the trouble of asking others for help and also helping her to kill time.
Aunt Qu came back to look at the cake and saw that it was ready, so she brought one for the emperor to taste.
Eunuch Li was standing outside the hall, with a strange and creepy smile.
"Why are you here?" asked Eunuch Li.
Aunt Qu said, "Xiao Jiu prepared some fresh food for Your Majesty to try."
Eunuch Li was even happier: "This Xiaojiu is also thoughtful."
Aunt Qu always felt that this person had something else in his words.
"Is there anyone inside?"
"Lady Wang," Eunuch Li said, "I made snacks from their hometown, and His Majesty liked them very much."
Aunt Qu nodded. Although she was a little biased towards An Jiu in her heart, the emperor was the emperor and he could not have only one woman.
Since Your Majesty is willing to interact with women, that couldn't be better.
"Then bring this in to His Majesty."
Eunuch Li looked at the thing covered with a lid. He originally wanted to send it to him later, but he was a little curious about what the emperor and Concubine Wang were doing...
He just went in to deliver something and came out very quickly, very quickly, so as not to disturb Your Majesty...
