lobby.

Wu Zetian's eyes retracted, and these black and white eyes finally fell on Shangguan Wan'er.

"Why is the kitchen noisy?"

After all, it is just a small restaurant, and the kitchen is not far from here, and a slight noise can be transmitted to the front hall.

But this inadvertent question immediately became the top priority. After a while, a eunuch came over carefully and bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, there was a dispute in the kitchen."

Wu Zetian was neither happy nor angry, and said lightly: "Oh?"

"The chef of the store, Qin Shaoyou, made a bet with the Royal Chef Wang An, and rushed to prepare meals for His Majesty."

Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing beside him, said, "He is so brave. Your Majesty is here, and they dare to make a bet."

Shangguan Wan'er is a erotic heart. She knew that the "ruthless" Qin Shaoyou was not confused. On the contrary, this guy probably knew that the emperor came here today and was for others to see. No matter how he messed around, he would not be punished. He could not make a good deal. The prince first praised him very much. Turning his head, His Majesty came to miss the prince first, and he killed his father's son.

Therefore, with Wu Zetian's nature, it is impossible to get angry. Instead, this kind of small dispute has become a little condiment for today's boring and boring performance. She deliberately scolded her coldly, on the surface, showing that she could not tolerate sand in her eyes, but she deliberately wanted to show the emperor's tolerance.

In this world, someone should be singing the red face, and someone should be singing the white face, right?

Wu Zetian smiled indeed, and not only did not get angry, but instead smiled: "The bet? It's a bit interesting. Wan'er, this is a good thing, so don't be angry."

Shangguan Wan'er went down the ladder and said, "Yes." But she thought to herself: "The bastard named Qin is very tricky, and most of the time he had predicted the matter here, it's really not a thing."

………………………………………

In the kitchen, the old eunuch Wang An was busy, the chicken had been put into the pot and the water had been boiled. Then, the bamboo shoots had been peeled and cut into pieces. The imperial chefs trained in the palace were actually the best at heat, but when he arrived here, his brows were deeply frowned.

Obviously, the stove in the palace is different from the stove here. There is a large stove in the palace, which has stronger firepower and the stove here is small, so the heat is a bit inaccurate. He had to keep uncovering the lid of the pot and keep observing with a spoon.

Finally, he let out a long breath and ordered the eunuch, "Get bamboo shoots."

The bamboo shoots were thrown into the rolling chicken soup, like a small boat in the storm, rolling in the boiling water. Wang An began to put salt, onion, ginger and other things. Qin Shaoyou next to him said, "I have chicken essence here, if I put it in..."

"No!" Wang An looked at him vigilantly. What a chicken spirit. God knows what bad intentions this kid An has. Wang An has never heard of this thing.

Qin Shaoyou, who was rejected by Wang An, curled his lips and disagreed.

When everything was ready, Wang An ordered someone to put it in the pot. The eunuch poured out the soup, took out the bamboo shoots and chicken, and only served a small bowl of Ruyi soup. Wang An seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief and sneered at Qin Shaoyou: "Our family will take a step first, you can do it slowly." He took the Ruyi soup and left carefully.

This guy knows the principle of taking preemptive action.

However, his Ruyi Soup was well made. The soup was golden and pleasant, and it was really full of color, fragrance and taste.

Qin Shaoyou was too lazy to pay attention to him, but said, "Qin Shou, Qin Shou..."

Qin Shou didn't dare to come in outside. When he heard the order, he entered the kitchen tremblingly. He only heard Qin Shaoyou say, "Go and see what was cooked in the pot just now, and then take out all the eggs in the jar."

Seeing that his cousin was full of confidence, as if he was infected by his aura, Qin Shou was a little energetic and hurriedly said, "Okay..."

……………………

A bowl of Ruyi Soup has now fallen in front of Wu Zetian.

Wang An stood aside and looked carefully.

This bowl of soup has a strong aroma, and even Wu Zetian was a little moved.

She stretched out her delicate hands, took the silver spoon prepared beside her, carefully scooped up a spoonful of soup, pouted her red lips, blew the soup cool, and then put it in her mouth.

Wang An watched nervously as His Majesty drank the soup, and his throat was about to emerge. In the past, he was not allowed to serve the emperor as a chef. He could not serve the emperor anyway. Therefore, no matter how good or bad it is, it has nothing to do with him. No matter how good the skills are, it is his responsibility, but today is different. In fact, it was his first time serving him, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Wu Zetian took a bite and couldn't help but smile. She said, "Is this the Ruyi Soup that Honger used to eat here?"

Wang An hurriedly said: "Yes."

Wu Zetian said: "Okay."

Although it is just a good word that is lightly described, as the emperor who has enjoyed the wealth of the world, it is enough to make people excited to say such an evaluation.

Wang Anqiqi said abhiddenly: "Your Majesty... Old Slave... Old Slave..."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you don't need to flatter you. Your Majesty praises you, just accept it."

“Yes…yes…”

While Wu Zetian was eating Ruyi Soup, his eyes flashed. The Ruyi Soup was here, which was the case. It seemed that just a few years ago, the energetic prince, Wu Zetian's parent-child, also sat here, eating Ruyi Soup here. Time froze, things changed, and things changed. Wu Zetian stared at the soup and suddenly stopped. She sighed, but she didn't know whether it was intentional or the true feelings were revealed.

The female officials surrounded by them did not dare to show their anger, and they all lowered their heads, and needles fell in the entire hall.

Just in this extremely quiet atmosphere, Wu Zetian picked up the silver spoon again. Between the world, only the slight sound of her gently scooping the soup.

……………………

Not long after, footsteps came.

This time it was Qin Shaoyou's cousins ​​who arrived.

Wang An was praised by the emperor and was full of energy. When he saw that Qin Shaoyou came, he couldn't help but feel proud. He deliberately glanced at Qin Shaoyou inadvertently, but Qin Shaoyou pretended not to see it.

However, when everyone saw what Qin Shaoyou was holding, many people took a breath.

What is that?

Millet porridge...

Porridge, from high-ranking officials to peddlers, is one of the staple foods that Qin Shaoyou often eats. It is understandable that Qin Shaoyou uses it, but the problem is that this ordinary millet porridge dares to present it to you. Will Your Majesty care about your bowl of porridge?

Even Shangguan Wan'er, who had some confidence in Qin Shaoyou, was a little disappointed at this time.

Qin Shaoyou seemed to be left alone and wanted to bring the porridge in his hand to Wu Zetian's desk, but a little eunuch stopped him. Qin Shaoyou had to hand over the porridge to him, and the eunuch then transferred the porridge to Wu Zetian.

Just talking about this bowl of porridge, in fact, whether it is the appearance or the faint aroma of porridge in the air, it can be said to be excellent. However, there is no other thing added to it, and even if there is no onion or ginger, it inevitably makes people feel that the guy who makes porridge has really gotten into the mind and desecrated the emperor.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but say, "Shaoyou Qin, does Your Majesty care about your clear soup and water?"

Qin Shaoyou immediately responded: "What you eat doesn't matter, what is important is delicious. Is it a girl not sure? Of course, your majesty has the final say."

This guy...he's so brave.

Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip and was ridiculed by Qin Shaoyou, but she was powerless to refute.

But Wang Anle, who was beside him, was so arrogant. He contradicted the female official who was attending the imperial edict and made a bowl of porridge and water for His Majesty to eat. He was so righteous.

Wu Zetian didn't care and said with a smile: "Since I'm here, it's okay to taste the folk porridge and water."

She showed her tolerance everywhere, which was consistent with Qin Shaoyou's speculation. The more she killed and decisive a person, the easier it was to get along with him, because in front of her political enemies, as a female emperor, Wu Zetian had to use the most cruel means to attack her enemies and maintain her ruling foundation. But because of this, she could maintain a kind attitude towards some irrelevant things.

Wu Zetian smiled with a pursed lips. Her eyes inadvertently glanced at Qin Shaoyou. Her impression of this guy became a little deeper. Then she picked up the silver spoon and took a sip.
