Chapter 236 The Emperor’s Grace

Qin Lu understood what the emperor meant and couldn't help but chuckle, "Your Majesty, if the civilian girls hadn't made these things by themselves, how could they have opened the shop in the first place? Whatever you want to eat, the civilian girls can make it."

"It's soft, glutinous, sweet, ice-cold, and suitable for winter." The emperor racked his brains to come up with such a tricky meal.

He meant to make things difficult, but Qin Lu nodded slightly, "Please, Eunuch Qin, please take the daughter of the people to the imperial kitchen."

"Miss Qin, can you really do it?"

"yes."

Qin Lu smiled at Eunuch Qin, then bowed to the emperor and was about to go out.

At that time, Eunuch Qin looked at the emperor and saw the emperor waving his hands in vain, so he followed Qin Lu to the imperial dining room.

The imperial dining room is some distance away from Qianqing Palace. It was almost lunch time when the two of them arrived. Qin Lu sighed as she looked at the huge imperial dining room and saw everything.

Among the many ingredients, she chose many things, including beans, noodles...

Eunuch Qin kept staring at Qin Lu. What he wanted to do today was to watch her and see if she could really make such delicious food.

From beginning to end, Eunuch Qin watched intently. After a quarter of an hour, Qin Lu had selected enough ingredients and started making them.

Through the process of her making, Eunuch Qin guessed that what she wanted to make was sweets, but the emperor didn't like sweets. He frowned slightly. Didn't the prince tell Miss Qin?

Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and looked at the sweets made in her hands. He knew what Eunuch Qin meant just by looking at Qin Lu. However, she was not worried at all. Instead, her smile became even stronger, "Eunuch Qin, don't worry. , the emperor will definitely like this."

She made this snack according to the steps of brown sugar glutinous rice cake, but changed some ingredients and made it into something ice-cold and jelly-like.

It's not sweet enough, but soft and glutinous enough, just right for people who don't like sweets.

When Qin Tieniu told her that the emperor didn't like sweets and wanted to study delicious food, she first thought about how to win over the emperor's hungry stomach.

Now that her husband has returned to the imperial city, she said that she would never let him be threatened again. Of course, she had to do her part.

So pleasing the emperor is the only thing she can do now.

Thinking of this, Qin Lu felt very good, and the color of the food she cooked looked better than before.

By the time Qin Lu had done everything, it was already an hour later.

Eunuch Qin's forehead was covered with sweat. Until he saw that Qin Lu had made so many snacks and a small hot pot, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The emperor doesn't like meat very much."

"The meat cooked by civilian girls is different from that made by others." Qin Lu still looked confident, not afraid that the emperor would not like it at all.

I have to say that her determination was admired by Eunuch Qin, "Sure, I will go back with you now, old slave."

Eunuch Qin led Qin Lu back to Qianqing Palace quickly. At this time, the people in the imperial dining room had prepared lunch, but the emperor seemed to have no appetite.

Qin Lu smiled and put the meal she made on the table, "Your Majesty, please taste it. If it doesn't taste good, the daughter of the people will do whatever you want."

"What a loud tone."

"Folk girls are quite confident in their own food." Qin Lu bowed to the emperor and then looked at him expectantly.

The emperor was disturbed by Qin Lu's generosity and ease, and wanted to know if her snacks were really so delicious.

"Is this a small hot pot?"

"Yes, it is very famous in the capital. You should have heard of it. This is the characteristic of a folk woman. I guarantee you will like it."

Qin Lu said, putting the dipping sauce she had prepared in front of her, and then started eating the meat.

As the beef was put into the pot, Qin Lu silently counted in her mind. When the time was up, she took out the meat, dipped it in the ingredients, and pushed it to the emperor. This series of actions were planned in one go, "Your Majesty, please taste it."

The emperor looked at Qin Lu, then slowly picked up the meat and carefully put it in his mouth.

As an emperor, how could he not have eaten beef before? But when the beef in the hot pot entered his mouth, he experienced for the first time what deliciousness was.

The texture of this beef and the seasoning of the dipping sauce are amazing.

"Qin Lu, your dipping sauce is amazing."

"That's the dipping sauce for folk girls. No one else can make it." Qin Lu accepted the emperor's praise without being modest at all, "Try this again."

Qin Lu pushed the jelly-like brown sugar glutinous rice cake to Huangshan Mountain.

The emperor did not hesitate this time and took a bite directly.

"It's really soft, waxy, sweet, and ice-cold."

"Yes, I dare not disobey your request." Qin Lu looked at the emperor with a smile, but this smile was not complimentary at all, but more playful.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"You are Tieniu's father, and I am Tieniu's daughter-in-law. How could I be afraid of you?" Qin Lu's sincere eyes were shining brightly, and those eyes that could speak were without any distracting thoughts.

"Haha, okay, okay."

Qin Lu stayed in the palace all day, and Qin Tieniu was almost anxious outside the palace.

Zhang Deshan's so-called bad thing was just that some neutral ministers came to him and wanted to surrender. Compared with Qin Lu, this was naturally not a big deal. However, he was a step too late and had to meet with the ministers first.

These ministers are all admired by Qin Tieniu. He is quite happy that they can come today. "Sir, thank you very much for choosing me. I will never compromise."

"Your Majesty, it has been really hard for you to live in foreign affairs these years. In the future, we will live through fire and water for your Majesty..." This heartfelt expression was so vivid that Qin Tieniu couldn't help but believe it.

"good."

After sending several ministers away, Qin Tieniu went to the shop. When he learned that Qin Lu had not come back yet, his heart broke out, "What did the people in the palace say?"

"Your Majesty, Miss Qin is with the Emperor in Qianqing Palace. Our people can't get in, so we can only guard outside." Zhang Deshan scratched his head with a frustrated look on his face, not daring to look directly at Qin Tieniu, for fear that he would look at him now.

As soon as these words came out, Qin Tieniu couldn't help but get angry, "Let's go to the palace."

No matter what, he will bring Qin Lu out today.

Qin Tieniu was very fast along the way, and soon they arrived at the palace. Just when he was about to rush in, he saw Qin Lu coming out of the palace, "Tieniu, why are you here?"

As soon as Qin Lu came out of the palace, she saw Qin Tieniu. She jumped up to him and hugged him, "Are you worried about me?"

"Um."

Qin Tieniu nodded, and at the same time walked Qin Lu around in front of him to make sure that she was not injured, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Daughter-in-law, I'm glad you're okay."

"I have already said that the emperor will like me. Look at what the emperor has given me." Qin Lu said, taking out a jade pendant and deliberately waving it in front of Qin Tieniu.

Qin Tieniu's eyes suddenly showed disbelief. This jade pendant was his father's favorite, and he actually gave it to his daughter-in-law, "Daughter-in-law, what did you do to my father? Why did he give you this?"
