When King Xuan entered, Emperor Qi Heng was correcting the memorial.
"Why did the emperor summon his ministers?" King Xuan said in a lazy tone.
"Hasn't this child had enough to eat? You should speak more confidently." Emperor Qi Heng put down the memorial. He was a proper and kind old father in front of King Xuan and King Ye, and he spoke very casually.
"Yes, Father." King Xuan raised his voice, but his voice remained unhurried, and he came to sit at the table.
"By the way, when it comes to eating, I suddenly feel hungry~~ How about sending someone out of the palace now to summon the maid in your palace to cook a meal to honor your old father?" Sheng Heng The emperor's eyes were blazing, his white hair was neatly tied on his head, and he was worried about state affairs.
When the Night King was not on an expedition, Shen Yuyu would always cook a few dishes for him to bring to the palace as a tooth-cutting ceremony for the emperor every time he came to the palace. After the Night King left for Northern Xinjiang, it was not convenient for Shen Yuyu to be brought by King Heng.
As for King Heng, a grown man who is careless and careless, he naturally does not understand these details.
Emperor Qi Heng had not eaten such delicious food for several days, but he was slandered.
Then he added: "I heard that the chef in your mansion learned good cooking skills at Ye Wang's mansion~~, let me give it to my father to try."
When King Xuan heard this, he immediately remembered that Princess Ye was not outside the palace. He said: "Hey, father, you are in a good mood. Today, the 'little Shenzi' whom I brought into the palace has just learned that cooking skill." , how about you let him do it for you?"
"Then hurry up and leave!" Emperor Qi Heng stood up with eyes shining, "It's almost noon, and I'm starving. I'll go to Changning Hall to have a drink with your father.'
After saying that, he couldn't help but walk out of the palace. When he got to the door of the palace, he smiled and praised "Little Shenzi. I didn't recognize this little Shenzi at all." She was Princess Ye.
Shen Yuyu was praised inexplicably, and King Xuan walked out.
"Xiao Shenzi, the emperor learned that you are good at cooking. You will be in charge of the royal meal this noon. Is it possible that you are qualified?" "Hui Xuan Wang, of course you can." He said and looked at Xuan Wang. At one glance, the two of them snickered.
Shen Yuyu wanted to walk around the palace more. After all, the palace was so big, it would be a bit difficult to find a problematic guard from here, so he followed the emperor and Queen Xuan to the Changning Palace.
Along the way, Shen Yuyu's eyes and nose were activated. He looked around and around, sniffing non-stop. Whenever a guard passed by, he looked and smelled, but still found nothing.
The group of people quickly entered the Changning Hall. The emperor and Prince Xuan entered the hall, and Shen Yuyu stood outside waiting.
Not long after, Eunuch Li came out with a menu.
"Little Shenzi, right? Come with our family." Even when he was dealing with a young eunuch, Eunuch Li had a gentle tone. As a great eunuch beside the emperor, he was very valuable.
"Yes, Manager Li." Shen Yuyu responded respectfully, her impression of Eunuch Li getting better and better, and she followed him to the dining room.
Changning Hall is the emperor's sleeping quarters and is very heavily guarded, with many guards.
Shen Yuyu looked over one by one and saw that their postures were upright and their eyes were not squinting. He couldn't see anything wrong at all. He felt more and more that this method of identifying people by scent would not work.
When the two came to the dining room, Eunuch Li spoke gently to the chefs in charge, saying that the emperor wanted to try a different taste without hurting the chefs' face.
It is said that just like a master, there will be like a servant. From Eunuch Li's words and deeds, Shen Yuxi could tell that Emperor Qi Heng was definitely a gentle, elegant, clear and wise emperor.
Even though he was not his husband's father, Shen Yuyu felt extremely honored to be able to personally cook this meal for such a wise king.
I thought of a way to take out the spring water in the space, then put on a bib and started cooking.
She also put a hundred percent thought into this meal, steaming, frying, and cooking in an orderly manner.
Every time a dish is prepared, a palace maid is sent to bring it to the main hall immediately to prevent it from getting cold and affecting the taste.
In the main hall, Emperor Qi Heng devoured a large portion of his meal, and kept making satisfied "Hmm~~" noises while eating. If a mobile phone were set up in front of him to engage in mukbang in modern times, it would definitely be a hit.
After the last dish was finished and served, Shen Yuxi took off her bib after cleaning her hands. She was surrounded by several royal chefs with admiring expressions on their faces, and they all came up to get close to her.
Not to mention anything else, the color and fragrance made people salivate, and they all guessed that after eating this meal, the emperor would definitely appoint Xiao Shenzi as the royal chef.
After Shen Yuyu talked modestly with everyone, she followed Eunuch Li and left the dining room.
"Little Shenzi, have you ever thought about joining the palace as an imperial cook?" Eunuch Li asked with a smile.
Shen Yuyu hurriedly refused respectfully: "His Royal Highness Xuan is kind to the slave, and the slave has to stay with His Highness Xuan to repay his kindness~~"
"You are loyal to your master~~ By the way, if the emperor enjoys this meal, he will definitely reward you.'
As they talked, the two came outside the main hall. At this time, Emperor Qi Heng had already eaten and drank enough. He was holding his middle-aged belly and looking at King Xuan as he spoke cheerfully.
"This little Shenzi's cooking skills are as good as those of Princess Ye~~How about King Xuan cuts off his love and sends him to Changning Hall to be the royal cook?"
King Xuan hurriedly waved his hands, his voice was no longer lazy, and he answered very quickly, "Isn't that good? He is a clean father-in-law, how can he change his career to become a chef? But if my father slanders me, I will Bring him into the palace to open a small stove for you~" He asked Princess Ye to cook. He was afraid that the emperor would blame her when he came back. So he sent her into the palace to be the royal cook? She would have to have her head blown off by the emperor.
"Okay." The emperor reluctantly agreed, and said to Li Eunuch fairly, "I will reward Xiao Shen Zi with ten taels of silver. Thank you for your hard work."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li quickly came outside the palace with a piece of silver.
"This is a reward from the emperor. The emperor said you have worked hard, little Eunuch Shen."
Shen Yuyu was moved and hurriedly took it: "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
The emperor was also poor, plagued by locusts and wars~~He also had Prime Minister Zhou, a corrupt official~~In short, the emperor rarely rewarded his servants, which was equivalent to a supreme honor.
After coming out of Changning Palace, King Xuan and Shen Yuyu went to the palace entrance.
After wandering around the palace for a long time and finding nothing, Shen Yuyu was just thinking about what to do next, when Aunt Zhao hurriedly chased after her.
"I've met His Highness Prince Xuan." Nanny Zhao met Prince Xuan and then turned her attention to Shen Yu.
"This is the little Eunuch Shen who made lunch for the emperor? The fragrance has drifted to the Jade Phoenix Palace." After speaking, he turned his questioning eyes to Prince Xuan Huangfumi, "The queen has not had a good appetite at noon today. Can you please borrow someone from His Highness Prince Xuan to come in and cook a lunch for the Queen?"
King Xuan smiled, the 'fragrance' floated so fast, it reached the Jade Phoenix Palace so quickly.
Although she was unhappy in her heart, she was the queen after all, so she couldn't refuse, so she looked at Shen Yuyu.
Shen Yuyu hurriedly replied in a high-pitched voice, "Thank you for your love, Your Highness, King Xuan, so the servant went." She was still worried about not being able to enter the harem to have a look, so she secretly winked at King Xuan and agreed happily. .
