Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Liu Weirong had been in the palace for two months. It was already the beginning of August. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Liu Weirong's appetite was getting worse and worse, and she was getting weirder and weirder.
Fortunately, she had a space filled with fruits. When she was hungry, she would eat the fruits inside, so she was not really hungry.
Other than Soft Fortune Palace's Rippling Waves Hall, which was very calm, the outside was filled with smoke and dark waves.
Hearing that Concubine Hui's cat suddenly went crazy and scratched Concubine Hui's face, Concubine Hui was furious. The Empress ordered people to search the entire harem, but they could not find anything.
In the end, he could only leave it at that.
Although Concubine Hui's face was treated in time, the cat's claws were stained with poison and Concubine Hui's face was ruined.
A scar was left on her beautiful face.
It was said that the cat was beaten to death.
Liu Weirong was shocked when she found out. In the original novel, Concubine Hui was not disfigured until the end, so why did it change here?
It couldn't have been instigated by a butterfly like her, right? She was already grounded.
It shouldn't have anything to do with her.
After that, he threw it aside. Anyway, the plot had already been tampered with into a mess, so he couldn't count on this cheat.
However, it was hard to change the plot of Liu Xiangya. For example, the matter of Gong Concubine slapping Liu Xiangya still happened.
They fought each other, and she lived her life.
In the past two months, Liu Weirong, under the guidance of Nanny Chen, had cleaned up the courtyard. Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei, who had betrayed their master, were demoted from second-class palace maids to lowly palace maids. They were sent far away and were not allowed to approach the main house. The other cunning and lazy servants were also punished and warned. The atmosphere in the backyard suddenly changed.
The fruit trees in the space had long bore fruit. A month ago, she had eaten fresh fruits. Sometimes, she would secretly roast vegetables in the space to eat. Her days were very comfortable.
She didn't like the fruits that were originally in the VIP's portion. The taste was too different.
Therefore, she only ate a little bit and gave it to Bai Lian, Xing 'er, and Granny Chen.
After copying the Four Classics for Women, Liu Weirong continued to practice her embroidery skills. Her embroidery skills improved rapidly, and the things she embroidered were barely passable. At this point, Nanny Chen's teaching task was about to be completed.
In less than two days, Wet Nurse Chen would leave.
The vegetables in the courtyard had grown up and could be eaten. They tasted much better than the vegetables that White Lotus had brought from the imperial kitchen.
Liu Weirong decided to personally cook a table of delicious dishes to thank Granny Chen for her meticulous teaching over the past two months.
No one would cook for a servant because they thought that it would lower their status. Perhaps others would disdain it, despise it, or feel ashamed, but Liu Weirong regarded Granny Chen as her life mentor.
Coming to an unfamiliar dynasty, it was much better to have someone to teach her than to fumble around on her own, even though Wet Nurse Chen was here to teach her under the imperial edict.
However, Liu Weirong rejected Granny Chen's repeated refusal.
zichen Hall
At noon, Murong Che leaned lazily on the back of the dragon throne, listening to the report of the secret guards.
A month ago, without Liu Wei Rong knowing, Murong Che had secretly placed a secret guard by her side. Fortunately, she had always been cautious and always entered the space when she was sleeping.
Otherwise, he would have found out about her sudden disappearance long ago.
After learning that Noble De was planning to personally cook for Granny Chen, Murong Che's eyes narrowed and the cold air around him suddenly cooled down. His fingers tapped lightly on the table and the 'dong dong' sound made Little Li who was beside him tremble unconsciously.
"When?" His deep voice carried a hint of strangeness.
Why did these words sound a little sour to Little Li?
"Replying to the emperor, tonight!”The secret guard replied respectfully.
Murong Che was silent for a while. The cold air around him dropped again.
"You may leave!"
"Emperor, are we counting cards today?" Little Li stepped forward fearlessly and asked carefully.
"No thanks!" Murong Che rejected coldly.
This time, Little Li shut up tactfully.
………………
Roufu Palace, Yilan Hall
After Liu Weirong, who rarely had a day off, took a nap, she walked toward the small kitchen under White Lotus 'worried gaze.
"Sister White Lotus, does Master really know how to cook?”Xing 'Er asked Bai Lian in a low voice with a bitter face.
"I don't know. It shouldn't be, right?" Actually, Bai Lian herself was not sure. She only hoped that her master would not burn down the small kitchen.
Before they reached the kitchen, a young eunuch rushed over.
"Master, Master, Eunuch Li has come to deliver the decree.”
What was that?
White Lotus and Xing 'er were dumbfounded. Wasn't their master in confinement?
Liu Weirong was also stunned. What was going on? Why would the Emperor suddenly think of her?
He turned around and walked towards the main house. Once he reached the main house, he saw Eunuch Little Li waiting there.
"Eunuch Li, why are you here? What's the matter?" Liu Weirong came in and asked with a smile.
Little Li greeted Liu Weirong respectfully and said with a smile,""Master De is overjoyed. Tonight, the emperor will come over to try Master De's cooking. Master De, please prepare well!”
Delighted?
It was a big shock, alright?
"Little Li, did I hear wrongly? The emperor is coming over to eat my cooking?”Liu Weirong's eyes widened. How did the Emperor know that she was cooking tonight?
"You didn't hear wrongly. This servant will ask the imperial kitchen to send the ingredients over later.”Little Li nodded with a smile. Actually, he was also frightened by the Emperor's decision.
It turned out that his previous feeling was not an illusion. The emperor was really jealous.
"Sorry to trouble Eunuch Li!" Liu Weirong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was going to cook to thank Granny Chen, but who knew that the Emperor would come and interfere.
It made her seriously suspect that Emperor Murong Che had planted secret guards here.
She carefully thought about what she had been doing these days. There was nothing that she could not see other than the space. Fortunately, she had always been careful and entered the space when she was sleeping.
Otherwise, he would have been discovered long ago.
Liu Weirong was once again glad that she was cautious.
After sending off Eunuch Li, Bai Lian and Xing 'er looked at their master with bitter expressions. It was over. Could their master's cooking be eaten?
They were seriously suspicious.
Not long after Eunuch Li left, the people from the imperial kitchen came in a mighty manner to deliver the ingredients. Along the way, they had attracted the attention of countless people. They were living targets.
Liu Weirong's mouth twitched.
Why couldn't the Emperor bear to see her at peace?
It seemed that he couldn't cook for Granny Chen tonight. He asked Xing 'Er to inform Granny Chen that he would make up for it another day. However, Granny Chen flatly refused, saying that she would leave after tonight.
Liu Weirong was depressed.
Wasn't there still two more days? Why was he in such a hurry?
Liu Weirong only entered the kitchen after those people had put all the ingredients into the small kitchen. Nanny Zhang was in the kitchen instructing three rough maids to arrange the ingredients.
When the three maids and Nanny Zhang saw Liu Weirong come in, they quickly bowed. After she explained her purpose, Nanny Zhang's mouth moved. She glanced at Bai Lian and Xing 'er who followed behind her and saw that both of them had bitter expressions.
He swallowed his words of advice.
The ingredients in the kitchen were very complete. Liu Weirong remembered that she hadn't eaten fish recently, so she quickly asked Nanny Zhang to kill two live fish. The fish head was used to make soup, and the fish meat was used to make pickled fish. It was hot, so she ate some sour appetizers.
Mm, there was even lotus root. According to Nanny Zhang, this thing was very precious and only the emperor, empress dowager, and empress could eat it.
Liu Weirong was speechless. In this era, lotus roots had become something precious.
Fish head stew, pickled fish, cold lotus root slices, cold cucumbers, fresh and tender saliva chicken, spicy boiled pork slices, dried pork ribs, Mapo tofu, stir-fried vegetables, shredded cabbage, and a pot of tonic soup specially made for the emperor.
After designing the menu, Liu Weirong began to make her own dishes. She didn't know if the emperor would like them.
There were three rough maids to wash the vegetables and light the fire. The pot of nourishing soup was the first to be stewed.
As night fell, Liu Weirong prepared the dishes one by one. When Nanny Zhang, White Lotus, and Xing 'er saw their master cooking so skillfully, their eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
White Lotus and the others were completely stunned as the dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted delicious were served.
It turned out that Master's culinary skills were actually so good.
Liu Weirong looked at her results proudly. She was an otaku in the modern world. As an otaku, her cooking skills were amazing.
Not to mention the diluted spiritual spring water.
She asked someone to pack it in a food box and cover it tightly. She quickly went back to take a shower again to wash away the oil and gas on her body. She changed into a light yellow silk dress embroidered with bright begonia flowers. Her hair was combed into a simple bun with a golden pearl peach blossom hairpin on it, making her look fresh and elegant.
There was still some time left, so Liu Weirong began to draw Garfield by candlelight to familiarize herself with it. She planned to embroider a cute Garfield on her handkerchief tomorrow.
She felt that her handkerchief had to be embroidered differently to distinguish it.
She did not know that her embroidery skills were just passable. She could barely recognize the things she embroidered, and she was not afraid of destroying Garfield's embroidery.
Just as she was engrossed in her painting, Emperor Murong Che came over. He did not let anyone pass the message and went all the way to the inner room without any obstruction.
As soon as he entered, he saw Noble De leaning on the table.
He walked forward curiously. When he saw the black and strange thing on the Xuan paper, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"What is this?" A deep voice suddenly rang out, scaring Liu Weirong. The brush in her hand shook, and the Garfield on the paper was destroyed.
"This servant pays her respects to the emperor.”Liu Weirong quickly reacted and greeted Murong Che. She was wailing in her heart. Why didn't she let anyone know that she was coming over? It was scary. It would scare people to death.
Murong Che stared at the few paintings, his long fingers tapping on the table as he spat out,""So ugly!"
"How is it ugly? I think it's very cute!" Liu Weirong exploded.
"Cute? There's a problem with your eyesight!" Murong Che snorted lightly. How dare he refute him? It seemed that his courage had grown a lot during his confinement.
You're the one with bad taste. This is the cute Garfield cat that's popular all over the world!
Liu Weirong's eyes widened. When his sharp gaze swept over her, she shrunk her neck back without any backbone and did not dare to refute him. Murong Che saw that she was angry but did not dare to say anything. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. He felt that she looked very much like the little hound he kept.
"Emperor, it's getting late. Dinner has been prepared.”
Murong Che glanced at her with an unreadable look in his eyes before he got up and left the inner room, heading to the main room.
When they arrived at the main room, under Little Li's command, White Lotus led a few palace maids to carry food boxes from the small kitchen behind them. The dishes were arranged on the round table in order.
There were two pots of steaming soup in the middle, and the fragrance of the dishes filled every corner of the room.
A hint of surprise flashed across Murong Che's eyes. Noble De's culinary skills seemed to be quite good.
"Emperor, these dishes were all prepared by this servant. Emperor, try it and see if it suits your taste.”Liu Weirong ingratiatingly picked up a piece of chicken drumstick and placed it in Murong Che's bowl. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him expectantly.
"This is called Saliva Chicken. It's the most tender and delicious!”
She had used diluted spirit spring water to cook the dishes, so the taste contained spirit energy. She didn't believe that she couldn't grab Murong Che's stomach.
Murong Che glanced at her and put the Saliva Chicken into his mouth. Although he was still expressionless, his eating speed had obviously increased.
After eating, he praised,"Not bad!"”
Liu Weirong was very happy and picked up some spicy poached meat slices for him. She said proudly,""Emperor, this boiled meat slice is the most spicy and delicious.”
The Boiled Meat Slices were filled with red chili peppers. Before he even ate it, he could already smell the pungent spiciness. Murong Che had never eaten such a spicy dish before, so he did not eat it.
"Emperor, you don't like spicy food? This poached meat slice is very delicious!" Liu Weirong was stunned and quickly promoted the poached pork slices that she had recently fallen in love with.
"Zhen has never eaten such spicy food!" Murong Che frowned." Sit down and eat with us!" Let Little Li serve the meal!"
Eh? No need to serve?
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!" Liu Weirong's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled and quickly sat down beside Murong Che. White Lotus added a bowl for her and Liu Weirong took the lead to pick up a piece of boiled meat and started eating.
She didn't know why, but the food she ate was either sour or spicy. The more spicy and sour it was, the better.
In addition, she was healthy and drank spiritual spring water every day, so she did not specially diagnose herself.
Murong Che's mouth twitched as he watched her enjoy the spicy meat slices and introduce the dishes to him.
He felt that Noble De was different from the other concubines.
She didn't pay much attention to her image in front of him.
After tasting all the dishes, Murong Che was extremely satisfied. He didn't expect this Noble De to have such good culinary skills. Although the dishes were simple, they were all delicious and tasted better than the ones made by the royal chefs.
Of course, it was good, because Liu Weirong secretly made it with diluted spring water.
If he ate it often, it could also strengthen his body.
After eating the dishes, he started drinking the soup. The fish soup was very delicious. Murong Che squinted his eyes in satisfaction, like a lazy leopard. He drank three small bowls in a row. After he finished it, he felt relaxed and energized.
Seeing that Murong Che seemed to like the fish soup a lot, and seeing that the fish soup was decreasing bit by bit, Liu Weirong became anxious and quickly said,""Emperor, there's also a pot of nourishing soup that this servant made especially for you.”
"Big tonic soup?" Murong Che's expression was a little strange as his dark eyes narrowed.
" Uh..." Liu Weirong's face turned red from Murong Che's stare and she quickly explained,""The emperor is busy every day, working hard for the country and visiting the harem, so this servant specially stewed a pot of nourishing soup for the emperor to nourish his body.”
"It seems that Noble De is very concerned about my health!”Murong Che's lips curled up slightly, and his expression was unclear." What does this tonic soup nourish?"”
Liu Weirong's face turned red and she coughed lightly.""It's…it's to let the emperor be full of energy…"
Little Li was almost frightened.
Could it be that Noble De is…mm mm, questioning the Emperor's ability?
"It seems that Zhen has neglected you for too long!" Murong Che was stunned for a moment. His ears turned slightly red as he coughed and said this.
Liu Weirong's face turned red when she heard the voice. She lowered her head helplessly and didn't know how to answer. She could only bury her head in her food like an ostrich.
Murong Che's awkwardness dissipated as he smiled and continued drinking the fish soup calmly.
Mm, this fish soup tasted more delicious than anything he had ever tasted. In the future, let Noble De stew more soup and send it to the Purple Mansion Hall.
As a result, Liu Weirong had unknowingly become Murong Che's personal soup mistress.
Seeing that her favorite fish soup was almost gone, Liu Weirong quickly scooped the last bit of soup into the bowl. Just as she was about to drink it, a sour breath rushed up her throat and she could not help but cover her mouth and retreat to the side to retch.
