When we arrived at the imperial dining room, all the dishes had been arranged and placed quietly on the table.
As a good brother, my arrangements are also very considerate.
Copper pots, charcoal, various ingredients and a series of other things were all arranged.
There was also nearly 30 kilograms of beef and various vegetables. I was afraid that I wouldn’t have enough to eat, so I arranged a lot of them.
Seeing the various dishes neatly placed on the table, I called Queen Changsun, Yue'er, and Changle over.
"I have met my father, Your Majesty."
"Guanyin maid, Yue'er, Changle, you are here, please sit down quickly."
"Thank you, Father, Queen, Father, and Sister, please take your seats first."
The four people gathered around the table and took their seats. Looking at something they had never seen before, Queen Changsun looked puzzled.
"Your Majesty, what are these? Why have I never seen them before?"
"Hahahaha, Guanyin Maid, this thing is called hot pot, and it tastes delicious.
Okay, okay, let me personally arrange the hot pot for you."
"Your Majesty, it is better for you to let your concubine do it."
"Father, Queen and Queen, you two sit down, and Yue'er will do it for you next."
A family of four had to give in for a long time just to have a meal. There are a lot of rules in the palace.
Put the charcoal in and light it, pour in the water, add the hot pot base ingredients, and wait for a while for the water to boil.
Li Er began to put in the meat and various vegetables one after another and started to rinse it.
"Your Majesty, this is the first time I have seen this way of eating. I don't know who invented this way of eating."
"Hahahaha, Guanyin, please come and taste the beef. The meat is cooked."
After the beef is boiled, it tastes quite delicious."
"Ah, beef? Your Majesty, us?"
"It doesn't matter. This beef is all injured. Besides, it's a gift from others. It doesn't matter if you just eat it."
"It's Your Majesty."
Thinking of the things my good brother did and eating the beef he gave me, it would be free if I didn't eat it.
"Father, father, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, and I want to be a rice cook."
"Changle, Yue'er, eat more, and put whatever you want into it yourself."
"Sister Huang, I want to eat meat. If I eat beef, put more beef in it."
I only know that cows are an important resource and no one is allowed to eat them, but eating beef today is like opening the door to a new world. This beef hotpot is so delicious.
There are also other dishes that I have never seen before, and each one tastes particularly delicious.
Li Er also proudly introduced the names of each dish to them.
Although when I introduced him, most of his name was misleading.
But seeing the adoring eyes of the queen and his daughter, Li Er's vanity was greatly satisfied.
"Your Majesty, these vegetables are unheard of, and they are all fresh.
I am very curious as to who brought so many fresh dishes to His Majesty, I must be a strange person, right?"
"Hahahaha, I won't tell you who this Guanyin Maid is.
When it's time for you to know, I will naturally tell you."
Regarding his good brother, Li Er felt that the fewer people knew about it, the better.
Even if she is her own queen, she will not tell anyone about this matter, but Li Er still feels that it is most appropriate for him to know.
"Father, I also want dried meat. I want a lot of dried meat."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you all this meat to make you fat."
"Thank you, Father."
Cough, cough.
While several people were eating, Queen Changsun coughed twice violently.
"Guanyin Maid, Queen Mother!"
"It's okay. This is a long-standing problem for my mother. Nothing happens to her."
It may also be because it was the first time I ate such spicy food and my throat was not used to it, so I coughed twice.
Li Er also knew that Guanyin's cough was an old problem.
It's fine in other seasons, but becomes more serious in winter.
Fortunately, an imperial doctor has treated her, but the root of her body has not been removed, and she can only rely on medicine to maintain her health in winter.
"Guanyin Maid, there are a lot of spicy things in this hot pot. If you are not used to it, you will inevitably cough if you eat it. Come on!"
Ask someone to get hot water, put the cooked food in the hot water, and then put it in a bowl to eat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cough, cough.
Although the queen said so, Li Er's heart was not so calm.
It would be fine if something like this had happened before, but when he remembered what his wise brother said that day, Li Er felt more and more that his wise brother must also know something about the queen.
Since he knew what happened to Du Ruhui, he clearly remembered that day when he mentioned Empress Changsun.
It's just that I didn't have time to ask. It seemed that it was time to pass by and give a hint, overtly or covertly, as to what would happen to this maidservant Guanyin.
This meal was very filling for several people.
"Oh no, I can't. Father, Queen and Mother, my stomach is already too full. I want to go back to sleep and have a good rest."
"Changle, why don't you go to school in the afternoon and study with Master?"
"Father, you really don't open the pot and pick up the pot. I have eaten so much at noon that I can't even move it.
Father, please, can you let me rest this time? Just for today."
"I really spoiled you so much that I remember this only once.
If I know this, I promise not to deal with you harshly."
"Thank you, father, emperor, mother, queen. I will take my leave first."
Several people left the imperial dining room and went to their respective palaces to get busy.
Let’s talk about Zhaojiazhuang on the other side.
After a whole morning of hard work, we caught a few more fish in the river. This is another good thing for us at noon today.
After lunch, someone was sent to tidy up the guest rooms where they stayed.
In Li Yue's guest room, the maid who was cleaning up found a large amount of toilet paper.
Aren't these toilet papers the same ones that were placed in the toilet before?
When the incident reached Zhao Mu's ears, Zhao Mu was on the verge of tears.
Recalling what she said to him before leaving, he was still confused at that time, what rice paper?
It turns out that this is what she meant. Now that I think about it, this little girl is quite frugal and doesn't like extravagance and waste.
But next time she comes, I have to explain things clearly to her in advance.
Zhuangzi lacked everything except rice paper!
"See Your Majesty."
Over in Shifeng County, the search for the princess has been ongoing for many days, and people are sent to the palace to report the situation every other day.
Today, they sent someone to report the news. They had almost searched the entire mountain, but still could not find any trace of the princess.
In addition to finding no trace of the princess, the tiger was also nowhere to be found.
