The fish fillet was fried with pepper and sesame seeds. It emitted a tempting fragrance near the sensitive nose.
"Pa!" The Emperor suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Su Yu's wrist. He coldly asked: "What are you doing?"
"Ah, that …" Su Yu laughed dryly. Oh no, he had a moment of playfulness and played with the Emperor like a cat.
An Hong-chul coldly snorted and sat up. He slightly narrowed his eyes. His gaze slowly moved from the slightly panicked face to the hand holding the chopsticks, and then to the crispy fish fillet at the tip of the chopsticks. He paused for a moment and then turned to face Su Yu's nose, "You've become more and more daring recently!"
The two of them were too close, and his warm breath blew on his face. Su Yu looked at the enlarged handsome face in front of him, and the strong sense of oppression made him shrink back involuntarily. His hand that was holding the chopsticks turned a corner, and the fragrant fish was placed between the two of them.
"Emperor, the fish fillet is going to get cold." Su Yu had a fawning smile.
"Humph!" The Emperor coldly snorted and opened his mouth to suck the fish fillet into his mouth. However, he still didn't let go of Su Yu's hand and just stared straight at him.
Su Yu felt goosebumps from being stared at. He felt that the Emperor wasn't chewing on the fish, but him. He couldn't help but swallow. Just now, when he saw this fellow sleeping so softly, he suddenly felt that it was very cute. His hand had been itchy … How could he forget? This person was the Emperor and wasn't someone he could casually tease.
The Emperor fiercely ate the fish fillet in his mouth. Then, he used the tip of his nose to touch Su Yu's nose and said: "In the future, you're not allowed to wave things in front of zhen."
"Oh …" Su Yu was about to respond when the Emperor suddenly bit the tip of his nose. He couldn't help but cry out.
An Hong-chul snorted and let go of his hand. He tilted his head to look at the dinner on the small table. He looked at the plate of sauteed shrimp with soy sauce and frowned, "What the hell is this?"
"Shrimp sauce," Su Yu rubbed his nose that was bitten and handed over a pair of chopsticks, "This subject spent a lot of effort to make it. Emperor, have a taste."
The so-called Meiji Sauce was a soy sauce synthesized by modern people using industrial raw materials. This dish was extremely simple for making seafood dishes. You just had to buy some of this brand of soy sauce. It was simple and delicious. However, in ancient times, Su Yu had to mix the sauce himself. A sauce made with natural seasonings was several times more delicious than an industrially synthesized one.
The Emperor snorted coldly and did not take the chopsticks that Su Yu handed over. He lay back down on the cushion and said, "It looks disgusting." This soy sauce was prepared by the stupid slave a long time ago. Even the stupid brother had a few bottles. Did he not know?
Today, the imperial kitchen specially said that there were fresh crabs. He threw away the ones made by the imperial kitchen and waited for Su Yu to make delicious crabs to apologize to him. This stupid slave didn't make any for him and used this to fool him.
Su Yu blinked. For the past few days, no matter what he made, the Emperor would eat it without raising his head. What happened today? He picked up a piece of shrimp meat and brought it to the Emperor's mouth, "This appearance is not very good, but it is absolutely delicious."
The Emperor raised his eyes and looked at the flattering Su Yu. His Majesty's complexion became better. This stupid thing finally has some awareness of being a slave. Oh, the taste of this sauce is still so delicious.
Seeing that the Emperor was willing to eat, Su Yu continued to pick up another piece and fed it to him, "Sauce er likes this dish the most. I can eat a big plate every time."
"Cough, cough …" The Emperor suddenly choked.
The Emperor dispiritedly finished his dinner on the cushion. Then, he lazily leaned on the big pillow and looked at the memorials in his hand. He casually picked one up and began to read it. After a few glances, he began to become impatient. He used his foot to nudge Su Yu, who was sitting on the cushion, "What are you reading?"
Because Su Yu was bored, he took out 《Fish Killing Cultivation Method》 from the bottom of the food box to study. When the Emperor asked, he obediently handed the book over.
An Hong-chul threw the book aside without reading it. He stuffed a stack of memorials into Su Yu's hands, "Read it."
Su Yu curled his lips. He really knows how to enjoy life. He was too lazy to read the memorials, so he turned them into audio books.
Most of the memorials that His Majesty left to read at night were not important or he didn't want to read them but had to read them before the court. Therefore, he was absent-minded. He just quietly looked at Su Yu's serious side profile and listened to him read word by word in a good mood.
It was a bit difficult to read the traditional characters. Su Yu could only read it by himself first to roughly understand what it was talking about. Then, he slowly read it out. He read a few of them, but they were all trivial matters. When he reached the third book, he suddenly saw the two words "alien star". He hurriedly read it carefully. Suddenly, he felt like he fell into an ice cave, "… The alien star has been placed in the Supreme Court and will be subjected to severe punishment.
Will be subjected to severe punishment, severe punishment …
Su Yu stared at the two words. The hand holding the memorial began to tremble slightly. It would be fine if he was killed. Why did they have to torture him to extort a confession? He forced himself to calm down. He cleared his throat and slowly read it out. He couldn't give himself away and let the Emperor see that something was wrong with him.
An Hong-chul looked at the pale face of Su Yu and slightly frowned. He immediately understood something. He reached out and pulled the other into his arms, "You know about this alien star?"
Su Yu's heart thumped. He didn't dare to look back at the Emperor's face, "Today, I heard the National Tutor and His Highness Prince Su mention it. But I don't know what this alien star is?"
"Half a year ago, the National Tutor calculated that an alien star would appear on the star map. He said that it was related to the upcoming catastrophe in Da'an," An Hong-chul pulled the other into his arms as if he didn't feel the tension in his arms. He said in a relaxed tone, "The imperial family has been looking for this alien star. It's just that we don't know what it is. Maybe it's a person, or maybe it's an object."
"Then why did they throw it to the Supreme Court?" Su Yu's eyes widened. They didn't know what it was, but they randomly caught it and even tortured it to extort a confession!
An Hong-chul looked at him and slowly said, "The old man just wants to use this opportunity to eliminate his dissidents. Do you think zhen is stupid?" Imperial concubines couldn't participate in court. He shouldn't have said this to Su Yu. But, who told him to be a master who doted on his servants?
So it was an internal conflict in court … When Su Yu heard this, he inwardly let out a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that he was completely wrapped in the Emperor's arms. His back was tightly pressed against a warm chest. He couldn't help but stiffen again.
An Hong-chul looked at the face of the person in his arms that was gradually regaining color. He thought that this stupid servant was really delicate. She couldn't help being scared at all. He moved closer to the white neck and rubbed against it, "Tomorrow, make crabs for zhen to eat."
Crabs cost one tael each ah! Chen doesn't have any money ah! Su Yu had a bitter face. He really wanted to tell the Emperor that, as an Emperor, even if he couldn't bear the responsibility of supporting his family, he should at least pay for the meals of the conscientious cook! He swallowed back the roaring question that was about to come out of his mouth. He still didn't have the courage to say it. The Emperor was willing to eat the food made by an imperial concubine. How could he ask the Emperor for money to eat?
"Your Majesty, can this chen take a trip out of the palace?" Su Yu asked tentatively. He had already asked Yang Gonggong. As a male concubine, he could occasionally leave the palace. After all, many male concubines were the pillars of their families. There were also many things that needed to be taken care of outside, but he needed the Emperor's permission.
"Leave the palace?" An Hong-chul frowned, "Leave the palace for what?"
"This chen has a restaurant on East Main Street. I haven't gone to take care of it for so many days, so I'm afraid that something might go wrong." Su Yu said weakly. He was planning to go get the dividends and discuss with Mr. Yuan on the way to use the money in his hands to open two more restaurants. Right now, money was spent like water in the palace. He had to make more money.
"As an imperial concubine, you only need to serve zhen well. Why do you have to worry about other things!" An Hong-chul thought about the two little cooks in Xian Mantang, the old man at the counter, and his younger brother who would occasionally go to freeload. He felt a wave of displeasure in his heart.
"This chen is a man. How can I do nothing in the palace all day? Besides, this chen still has a di mother and shu sister to support." Su Yu tried to argue.
"Shut up!" His Majesty the Emperor couldn't take it anymore and pressed the chattering Su Yu down on the cushion, "You only need zhen to think about, don't even think about other people!"
Since the Emperor didn't agree, there was no chance of leaving the palace. Early the next morning, Su Yu listlessly went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.
"Aijia heard that the Emperor eats the food you make for three meals a day." There were no other imperial concubines today. Even Imperial Consort Lu didn't come to join in the fun. The Empress Dowager still looked indifferent.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not abandoning me." Su Yu couldn't figure out what the Empress Dowager meant. Was she blaming him for seducing the Emperor, or was she simply telling the truth?
"You go to Anguo Tower every day. Do you see anything?" The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and asked unhurriedly.
See anything? Su Yu frowned slightly. He drank afternoon tea with the National Tutor every day. What could he see? "This young one is slow-witted. I don't know what the Empress Dowager is referring to."
"The kind of ginger tea that the National Tutor drinks. You can persuade the Emperor to drink some. It's not good to always eat those cold fresh things." The Empress Dowager sighed and raised her chin to Aunt Lin who was next to her.
Aunt Lin understood and took out a jar of ginger sugar powder and handed it to Su Yu, "This ginger sugar powder is made by Ci'an Palace. I'm afraid it's not as good as the National Tutor's."
Did the Empress Dowager send him to pay his respects just to ask him to ask for ginger sugar? The problem was, even if he came, the Emperor hated sweet things. It would be strange if he could drink it. Su Yu looked up at the Empress Dowager. Since she was so concerned about her son's food, it should be okay for him to ask for some food for her son, right?
"This official has something to report to the Empress Dowager." After hesitating for a moment, Su Yu thought about his empty purse and the Emperor who was about to run out of food. He gritted his teeth and said shamelessly, "The price of seafood in the river in the palace is high. This official's monthly allowance has been used up. I'm afraid that I can't afford to buy the Emperor's food today …"
"What?" The Empress Dowager looked at him in surprise and turned to look at Aunt Lin.
"Your Highness, are you saying that the ingredients these days were all bought with your own money?" Aunt Lin immediately understood and asked for the Empress Dowager.
"Yes … The crab costs one tael. This official really can't afford it. Yesterday, the Emperor wanted to eat it, but he couldn't." Su Yu said with some embarrassment. He felt a little apologetic when he saw that the Emperor couldn't eat delicious food. The crab was so fat. It would be delicious if it was made into salt-baked crab or steamed.
The Empress Dowager looked at Su Yu with a deep gaze. After a long time, she suddenly laughed and said, "You are really an honest child."
Su Yu blinked and didn't know what was going on.
"Leave this matter to Aijia. I will definitely not let the Emperor go hungry." The Empress Dowager looked at Su Yu's dazed look and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After leaving Ci'an Palace, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh. In order to let the Emperor eat his fill, he began to beg for food, but that guy still didn't let him out of the palace. It was really …
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a person staring at him impatiently on the palace road not far away. "Stupid slave, what time is it now? Why are you still walking so slowly?"
"Your Majesty?" When Su Yu saw who it was, he hurriedly walked over.
An Hong-chul was wearing a pear blossom white narrow-sleeved robe with a silver belt inlaid with jade around his waist. He held a jade folding fan in his hand. Standing under the sunlight, he looked handsome and beautiful.
However, at this time, shouldn't the Emperor have just finished the morning court? Where was the court robe? Su Yu was dazed for a moment, then he reacted, "Your Majesty, why are you dressed like this?"
"What, it doesn't look good?" The Emperor raised his eyebrows. A storm began to brew in his eyes. If this stupid slave dared to say half a word of no …
"It looks good," Su Yu quickly nodded, "This official almost couldn't come back to my senses."
"Humph!" The Emperor's ears quietly turned red, "In, in broad daylight, saying these words, aren't you ashamed?"
Su Yu stole a glance at the Emperor's ears and blinked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"Humph, zhen is going to observe the people today," An Hong-chul coldly snorted and looked at Su Yu with disdain, "Why aren't you changing your clothes? How can you leave the palace dressed like this?"
