Chapter 43 Reward
The tyrant took out a walnut and threw it at the gatekeeper. The next second, the gatekeeper fell to the ground.
An Jiu "..."
This is not a human being...
Aren’t the lives of cattle and horses lives?
Is it really okay to knock someone out like this?
The tyrant still looked at Anjiu with a smug look on his face, and Anjiu was speechless.
What? Do I need to praise you?
What an oversized naughty kid.
The tyrant walked in front with a swagger, and An Jiu followed behind, carrying large and small bags and panting. But the tyrant was dissatisfied with her slow walking and stood in front, waiting for her impatiently.
An Jiu "..."
The lives of cattle and horses are not lives.
Cattle and horses don’t deserve to live.
Perhaps because An Jiu was walking too slowly, the tyrant waved his hand to call out his secret guards. He pointed at the things on the ground and acted like a domineering president who was ready to pay the bill.
The secret guard asked: "Your Majesty, where should this be sent?"
The tyrant pointed at Anjiu.
The secret guard quickly disappeared into the night carrying the things.
An Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and followed him briskly. The tyrant was like a child, walking and stopping, occasionally climbing over the wall, and it took him most of the night to return to his residence.
Only when the tyrant fell unconscious did An Jiu breathe a sigh of relief.
It was the same secret guard from before. He seemed interested. He nodded to An Jiu and left with the Tyrant.
An Jiu began to pack up the things that the tyrant brought back.
Keep the useful stuff for yourself.
Keep the candied fruit for yourself.
I keep the fruits for myself and won’t give away any that go bad if they are uneatable.
Keep the vegetables for yourself. If they can be made into pickles, make them into pickles. If they can’t be made into pickles, make them into sauce. If worst comes to worst, just throw them away if they go bad. In any case, never give them to others.
It's no wonder An Jiu is stingy. In the palace, the masters eat well. The meals for servants like them are actually very monotonous. They are just enough to fill their stomachs. It is not easy to have a good meal, especially in winter. If they are hungry and want to have a snack, there is no food available.
Therefore, it is necessary to save some food for yourself, not to mention that all the things the tyrant took today are good things.
An Jiu looked at the hairy crab, swallowed his saliva, and ate all of it overnight, making a jar of crab roe sauce, beef sauce, and chicken sauce...
After finishing all these, An Jiu went to bed happily.
It was time to go to work today. An Jiu got up very early and was in a good mood. When she went out to eat, she met her colleagues Xiaoqiu and Xiaodong. Xiaoqiu looked at her with a half-smile, while Xiaodong looked at her with a face full of grievance, anger and unwillingness.
An Jiuli ignored them, walked past them with his head held high, and took his own meal, a bowl of watery porridge and a steamed bun.
It doesn't matter, she has crab sauce, beef sauce, chicken sauce...
They are no longer in the same class as those who can only eat steamed buns.
Hahaha! ! !
Compared to An Jiu who was eating very well, the emperor was obviously in a bad mood, because he had vegetarian buns for breakfast, and he didn't know what was in them. The emperor lost interest after taking two bites.
Then he looked up and found Anjiu, and stared at her with deep hatred.
What did they eat yesterday?
[I want to eat it too...]
[Why is it that I am the one who suffers, while that idiot is the one who eats and drinks well? 】
【It’s really unfair.】
【……】
An Jiu admired him so much. She had never seen anyone who was jealous of her and scolded her.
"I want to eat the pickled fish from last time."
The emperor hesitated for a while, and finally decided not to embarrass himself. After all, that idiot must have embarrassed himself again yesterday. He had lost face in front of the stupid goose, so what was there to be afraid of? At worst, he would kill the stupid goose to silence him when he recovered from his illness.
An Jiu "..."
I really admire you, brother. Eating pickled fish won't be enough to kill someone, right?
but……
An Jiu's eyes turned and he said, "Your Majesty, there are hairy crabs, fresh fish and shrimps in the imperial kitchen. We can make spicy crabs and spicy prawns. Do you want to eat them?"
The emperor nodded.
Of course I want to eat it.
But people who are pretentious are destined to be pretentious at all times. An Jiu saw him swallow the saliva that was about to flow out, raised his chin and said coldly: "You decide."
An Jiu went out and went to find Aunt Qu.
No matter who these things were prepared for, if the emperor wanted to eat them, of course he should be allowed to eat them first. So soon, spicy crabs, spicy shrimps, and braised fish were served on the table.
The emperor looked at the shrimps and crabs and fell into deep thought.
An Jiu "..."
What is he doing if he doesn't eat?
Why are there so many weird things happening every day?
How to eat this?
[Should I peel it myself? ]
The emperor frowned.
How can you expect someone who can't even put on clothes to peel shrimps and crabs?
An Jiu was speechless. She went to wash her hands, then sat down and started peeling shrimps and crabs under the shocked looks of Eunuch Li and Aunt Qu.
As long as the emperor fell in love with these dishes, she would have endless crabs, fish and shrimp to eat...
An Jiu's movements were skillful. The emperor stared at her with a calm expression, but the sound of his screaming chicken was soon heard in the hall.
[Wow, it's peeled off like this. 】
[Wow, delicious, delicious, this spicy thing is so delicious? ]
[I must have been a native of Bashu in my previous life. ]
[Peel it faster... I don't have enough to eat. 】
An Jiu looked up and found that the emperor was staring at the shrimp in her hand without blinking.
An Jiu wanted to laugh.
How bizarre! The world is full of wonders. If someone had told her that the emperor was like this before she traveled through time, An Jiu would have made him doubt his life and told him to go back and read a book to avoid talking nonsense and embarrassing himself.
Could an emperor be like this?
But no matter how ridiculous it looks or how unreliable it sounds, the emperor in front of An Jiu is indeed like this.
An Jiu quickly peeled the shrimps and crabs. The emperor finished eating, but he was obviously still a little unsatisfied.
An Jiu felt that this was the best way. After eating a full meal, why would he think about the next meal?
However, based on An Jiu's understanding of the emperor, he would not say anything even if he did not enjoy the meal very much.
Sure enough, he started eating the fish, which was also delicious. The emperor ate half of it and a whole bowl of rice.
Seeing how much he ate, Eunuch Li was so excited that he almost cried.
"Your Majesty has a good appetite today."
The emperor raised his chin and gave Eunuch Li a proud look.
An Jiu didn't understand what he meant, but Eunuch Li did, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Jiu has done a great job today, reward him."
An Jiu "..."
What?
reward?
Did she hear it right?
Eunuch Li smiled and said, "You heard me right, Xiaojiu, tell me what reward you want?"
What does Anjiu want?
Of course that is freedom.
She dreams of freedom, and she is willing to do so even if she has to live a hard life like the heroine in a farming novel after she is released.
She just wanted to be free, to leave the palace, leave the capital, live her own happy life, and let the sky be high and the birds fly freely from now on...
"I want..."
She didn't dare to say anything after she started.
The emperor's illness hasn't recovered yet. Let's not talk about whether he can recover or not. Just now, the dog emperor said that he would kill her to silence her when he recovered.
She's not well yet, so it's impossible to let her go.
Or something practical.
So An Jiu said, "I like quietness. Can I live in the small house next to the storehouse?"
She didn't want to go back and live with her colleagues. Now that the keel had been built, she had to clear a path through the house.
【That’s it?】
She heard the emperor's complaints very clearly.
【idiot. 】
An Jiu "..."
The emperor waved his hand: "Alright."
An Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
How could the emperor understand how important and happy it was to have a space of his own in this strange world and strange palace.
The smile on An Jiu's face surprised the emperor.
[It's so easy to satisfy, so I'm happy now? 】
An Jiu: Yes, yes, I am such a simple, kind-hearted little girl who doesn’t love money…
The emperor didn't say anything. He wanted to go out for a walk again, saying it was to help digest his food.
An Jiu "..."
Can't you eat less if you're afraid of indigestion?
The emperor had no purpose in taking a walk, he was just wandering around. However, before he had gone far, he saw the empress dowager and several concubines talking together in a pavilion not far away.
The emperor didn't even stop, he turned around and ran...
