The Empress Wants To Be Deposed!

Chapter 16: This is a fellow eating friend.

Li Chengxuan was naturally hesitant about this.

But he didn't want Song Jinning to look down upon, so he still said in a fearless tone.

"I am the son of emperor, and all the people in the world are my people. I should enjoy myself with the people and understand what they eat every day."

As he said, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a small piece of fermented bean curd and slowly put it into his mouth.

Song Jinning: Tsk, just let you eat fermented bean curd, can you still talk about these tall words to me?

On the face, he asked Li Chengxuan narrowly: "How is it, Your Majesty, how does the food your people eat every day?"

The chopsticks that Li Chengxuan just held were all skins with chili noodles on the outside.

Although peppers have been available in this era, they are not popular in the whole country. At least in the palace, peppers are not used much in cooking.

But think about it, most of the ingredients in the palace are bird's nest, sea cucumber, abalone and other delicacies, so you don't need chili at all. Even with chickens and ducks, they still don't have the concept of stir-frying.

For Li Chengxuan, who rarely eats chili peppers, it is strange that the chili noodles with chopsticks are stuffed directly into his mouth, which is not so spicy.

Sure enough, Li Chengxuan bowed his head in the next moment and hurriedly took a spoon and started drinking bean curd.

But the bean curd is hot, I just ate it spicy, and then I drank two spoonfuls of hot stuff...

Song Jinning held back a smile and pushed the plate of Malantou mixed with dried bean curd to Li Chengxuan.

"Your Majesty, come, this is cold, you can use some."

He also ordered Bailu to pour a cup of herbal tea to Li Chengxuan.

How could Li Chengxuan not understand that Song Jinning was deliberate? Angrily didn't control his expression at all, raised his head and glared at her.

Song Jinning is not afraid. He tore half of the fried dough sticks and held them in his hand, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you can't eat spicy food, you will miss a lot of delicious food."

Spicy hot pot Maoxuewang boiled fish, chopped pepper, fish head, spicy tofu, spicy chicken, and the tumbling red oil hot pot, let’s find out!

Song Jinning is a foodie herself, and she must be more sensitive to digging for foodie than ordinary people.

Just now, Li Chengxuan suddenly stopped and took a seat. It was enough to let her know that she was also a fellow.

What could be more interesting than discussing the delicacies of different places with fellow fellows? In particular, this colleague is still a blank piece of paper in her opinion. She can lead him to taste all kinds of delicacies while accepting his admiring gaze. Is there an overwhelming sense of accomplishment?

So Song Jinning now looks at Li Chengxuan's eyes a bit similar to Master seeing a disciple who suits her own mind, or Bo Le looking at Chollima?

Li Chengxuan: ...

Although I don't know what Song Jinning is thinking now, but she always feels that her eyes are a bit wrong.

And her attitude towards him has obviously changed a lot from just now.

"Come on, you taste the inside of this fermented bean curd again. It's not spicy at all, and it has a bit of wine aroma? Does it taste strange with some chili noodles?"

Zhou Jing, who has been standing by:...

I always feel that something is wrong.

As for Bailu, she calmly said that every time her girl thinks of a new dish, she does it when she sells it with her master during the dinner, and she has already taken it off.

This breakfast is a delight for the guests and the host.

During the dinner, Song Jinning even discussed various derivative forms of tofu with Li Chengxuan.

"...For tofu, you have to soak the soybeans first. Then grind it into soy milk and boil it. Soy milk can be drunk, divided into sweet soy milk and salty soy milk. After soy milk is heated, a layer of skin will slowly congeal on the surface. It's called tofu skin."

"The tofu skin can be served cold or marinated, and you can add various ingredients and stir fry together. You can also add shredded pork and roll it together to eat. Then add brine in the soy milk, the soy milk solidifies, and it becomes a bean curd."

"This bean curd is the same as soy milk. It is also sweet and salty. Of course, if you want to eat spicy bean curd, it's not bad. In addition, tofu can also be used for tofu fish and beef with tofu."

"When you scoop up this bean curd and put it on the gauze bread, press out the moisture inside, it will become tofu. Tofu should be familiar to you, right? It can also be made into dried tofu, vegetarian chicken, etc. Have these sires understood?"

Li Chengxuan: ...

I was busy fighting with the ministers all day long, and I had to guard against the Queen Mother Song's whim suddenly falling back to the government. How can I have the heart to understand these things?

Besides, the saint said, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen? He is the emperor of the ninety-five years, he has nothing to understand what these do?

But it's just a soy bean. I didn't expect to be able to make so many things. Thinking about it, it still feels quite amazing.

Song Jinning was obviously a little bit up, and when she ran out of breakfast, she said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law Zhao made a jar of stinky tofu a few days ago. It will be ready in a few days. Please eat fried stinky tofu."

Stinky tofu? It smells stinky to hear this name.

And seeing Song Jinning's narrow look on her face, she always felt that she was deliberately making fun of him. Just like coaxing him to eat that fermented bean curd at the beginning...

But I have to admit that this breakfast today is very delicious.

So Li Chengxuan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, eh.

The maidservant brought tea to rinse Song Jinning and Li Chengxuan.

Although Li Chengxuan does not have to go to the early court today, there are still many memorials waiting for him to review. Several officials from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry were also summoned to discuss the dredging of the Xin'an River, so they got up and left immediately after breakfast.

Song Jinning feels that she is still Li Chengxuan's queen, so she must still do what belongs to her.

So he sent Li Chengxuan to the gate of the temple and said goodbye to him.

Li Chengxuan walked to the courtyard, and once turned around, he saw Song Jinning still standing at the gate of the hall and not turning back.

At this time, although the morning sun has not risen, there is a lot of sunshine. She is wearing a light green spring dress standing in the shade of rosy clouds, beautiful and beautiful, enough to be a picture.

Li Chengxuan had a strange feeling in his heart.

It seems that Song Jinning from a long time ago can't remember his appearance, nor can he remember how he hated her at the time. But now Song Jinning, he doesn't seem to feel annoying...

Song Jinning waited for Li Chengxuan's figure to bypass the shadow wall in the courtyard before turning back to the hall.

The maidservants had already taken down the dishes, and Song Jinning walked to the wooden couch near the window in the east and sat down.

Snowball rushed towards her, Song Jinning took it smoothly and hugged it in her arms.

One person and one cat lay lazily on the couch. When Bai Lu came over to serve tea, she couldn't help but said something Gu Yushi routinely advised Song Jinning.

"Niang, it's not advisable to sit down immediately after a meal. It's better to get up and walk around."

"Aren't you going to greet the Queen Mother later?"

Song Jinning didn't move, with a snowball back in her right hand. The snowball felt comfortable, and his blue eyes narrowed.

"At that time, I won't sit in a sedan chair, and I will walk to Shoukang Palace."

Weiyang Palace is quite a distance away from Shoukang Palace, Bai Lu thought about it, nothing more.

Put the tea bowl in the tea tray on the Kang table beside Song Jinning, and she is about to withdraw.

But I heard Song Jinning asking: "Where is Gu Yu? Why haven't I seen her since this morning?"

Bai Lu was about to answer, but a voice rang first.

"Manny, the slave and maidservant are here."

Song Jinning followed the sound and saw Gu Yu walking in from outside the hall.

When she got closer, Song Jinning saw that she was carrying a thorn on her back. Or is it actually a fire stick?

Song Jinning: ...

"What are you doing?"

Gu Yu didn't answer, but walked over and knelt down in front of Song Jinning.

"Niang, the slave and maidservant, this is an invitation from Ying Jing."

"The maidservant knows that the maidservant loves her collection the most, and she does not easily lend to foreigners. But last night, the maidservant lent her library to the emperor to read without her consent. The maidservant was guilty, so she should be punished."

After speaking, he pulled out the thorn twig and held it in his palm, and lifted it up high.

Song Jinning: ...

She looked at Gu Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, and Bailu who was standing aside indifferently.

Understood.

It's no wonder that I haven't seen Gu Yu since morning. It turns out that she was brewing such a thing.

And Bailu was clearly aware of this matter.

"You are still guilty, where did you two learn this."

Song Jinning felt a little bit dumbfounded for a while, "Yu'er, I know that you are also good for me, and I don't blame you. Get up."

Gu Yu and Bai Lu have been with Song Jinning for several years, and they naturally know that she is a very generous master. I usually don't talk about beating, and I didn't even scold them either. He would also call them Yuer and Luer with a smile.

It was indeed spoiled the two of them, so Gu Yu and Bai Lu didn't have much scruples in front of her.

For example, Gu Yuyuan knew that Song Jinning would not really blame her, but she was a slave and she would definitely have to stand up and admit that she did something wrong.

So when Song Jinning said that she didn't blame her, Gu Yu immediately got up and stood up.

At the same time, he smiled and complimented: "Manny, you are really broad-minded."

Song Jinning squinted at her: "Stop flattering, I won't eat this one."

But it's still eaten. Who doesn't like being praised?

Gu Yu didn't care about this, and then grinned and said: "The servant girl just heard outside that the emperor had eaten a good breakfast this morning. It seems that the emperor likes the meals made in the small kitchen in our palace."

Song Jinning smoothed Snowball while continuing to squint her.

so what? What do you mean by this?

Seeing Gu Yu continued to talk down with joy.

"That's great. The servants and maids will talk to the small kitchen later, and ask them to cook more unusual dishes in the future, so that we can come to Weiyang Palace more diligently when the queen comes up."

The subtext is, will the emperor like you more and more in this way?

Song Jinning raised her head helplessly to help her forehead.

This girl really spared no effort to match her and Lee Seung-sun.

"That, Yuer,"

At the moment when Gu Yu was chattering, Song Jinning finally inserted her own words, "Um, should we go to please the Queen Mother? Have you prepared the pastries and snacks that you are going to bring?"

Gu Yu was easily taken off the topic.

"It's already prepared. In addition, the small kitchen just made some youth groups, with sesame and red bean paste fillings, and I also packed a plate with each of them."

After a pause, Gu Yu tentatively asked: "Well, my mother, should this youth group also send something to your Majesty?"

Gu Yu was still a little worried.

Because in the past few days, according to her cold eyes, the mother's attitude towards her majesty is not at all enthusiastic.

But to her surprise, Song Jinning simply nodded in agreement this time.

"Send it. Give him a plate with sesame and bean paste stuffing. In addition, if our small kitchen makes any pastries or snacks in the future, not only will we have to give both the Queen Mother and Princess Jingle a portion," Your Majesty also sent a copy over."

This is her newly added ally and food friend.
