An Hong-chul looked at him with disdain and threw over a bright yellow handkerchief.
Su Yu awkwardly wiped his mouth. Just now, the Emperor's domineering "You are zhen's" had scared him. Speaking of which, shouldn't the Emperor say "You are zhen's feipin" or "You are zhen's subject" or something like that? Speaking halfway was so awkward … … it was like a confession … …
Frightened by his own thoughts, he secretly glanced at An Hong-chul who was calmly eating a crab leg. Su Yu shook his head and threw the unreliable thought out of his head. It must be that the Emperor was too handsome today, causing him to have a paranoia.
At this time, the servants in charge of purchasing came in with the newly bought fish and shrimp. The two didn't talk anymore and lowered their heads to eat.
The fragrant and spicy crab soup was the most delicious when poured over the white rice. After the Emperor finished eating the crab, he ate two bowls of rice with the side dishes and soup.
"Do you want some more swimming crab?" Su Yu saw that the Emperor still hadn't had enough and probed. It wasn't easy to leave the palace and eat such cheap crab. He had to eat his fill. This way, the Emperor might not want to eat crab for many days.
"No need," An Hong-chul put down his chopsticks and looked at Su Yu, "Do you still want to eat?"
"No, I was just thinking that the crab was cheap … …" Su Yu thought and suddenly said the truth.
"Boss, don't say that. These crabs aren't cheap at all." The shop assistant in charge of purchasing was moving things into the room. Hearing Su Yu's words, he interrupted, "Two hundred copper coins per catty!"
"Why is it so expensive?" Su Yu frowned. Usually, swimming crab was seventy to eighty wen per catty. Now wasn't the season for crab fat, so it shouldn't be so expensive.
"Recently, the price of seafood has increased," Zhang Cheng, who had finished cooking, walked over while wiping his hands. He wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words to his shifu, "Maybe it's because the harvest wasn't good. Recently, the fishermen have been catching empty nets."
"No." The shop assistant who was in charge of purchasing had a pair of small eyes that shone brightly. Hearing this, he moved closer mysteriously and said, "I heard that it's not because they missed the net, but because they caught a monster."
"Nonsense!" Su Yu knocked on the shop assistant's head. "Where did this monster come from?"
"It's true." The shop assistant tried his best to widen his beady eyes. "I went to stock up this morning, and I heard from them that the boss of the fish shop that we often buy from had a disaster last night. His entire net of fish was eaten by that monster."
Su Yu didn't think much of it. He guessed that the appearance of the ferocious carnivorous fish had affected the fishermen near the capital.
"Has anyone seen that monster?" An Hong-chul, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked. His cold and dignified voice scared the waiter.
"I've seen it." The shop assistant seemed to have thought of something disgusting and curled his lips. "I heard that it's also a fish, but it has pig hair all over its body and can cry like a piglet …" As he said this, he rubbed his arms and shuddered.
"There's such a thing?" Zhang Cheng curled his lips. He didn't believe it at all. "Did you steal the money to buy the fish and make it up?"
"If I stole a single copper coin, I'll be struck by lightning five times!" The shop assistant suddenly jumped up. He swore that he had definitely bought the fish at the lowest price.
Su Yu sighed. He wasn't around every day and no one was in charge of the Xian Mantang. Everything was a mess. "Zhang Cheng, if you don't believe me, you can go with the shop assistant tomorrow and take a look."
"Shifu, I'll go take a look tomorrow morning." Zhang Cheng touched his head guiltily. He was so focused on cooking that he didn't even know that such a big thing had happened during the purchasing process.
An Hong-chul slightly narrowed his eyes. His slender fingers lightly tapped on the stone table. This shop assistant might have stolen a few coins, but most of what he said should be true.
Mackerel. Its shape was like a mackerel and its hair was fluffy. Its sound was like a dolphin. Seeing it would cause a great drought.
This thing, it really did appear … …
After leaving behind a few new dishes for his two disciples to make, Su Yu planned to go to Prince Zhao's fu to see Prince Zhao and discuss opening a new store with him. He looked at the Emperor beside him. He shouldn't mind the fact that a concubine and his younger brother were partners in business … … right?
Thinking about it, if he was the Emperor, and he heard that his younger brother and his favored concubine had a monetary relationship, that the concubine's family property was bought by the prince, that the store was under the prince's name, that the renovation was done by the prince's fu, and that even the shopkeeper and the helpers in the kitchen were all prepared by the prince … … Su Yu swallowed his saliva. If he didn't mind, then the Emperor wouldn't be the Emperor!
Su Yu suddenly realized that His Royal Highness King Zhao was abnormally good to him. He was willing to help him with anything. If it was because of the soy sauce, then it didn't make sense. The soy sauce had a high status in the palace, but it wasn't Prince Zhao's cat. It was the Emperor's cat. Prince Zhao didn't need to be so grateful to him.
"Why are you in a daze?" An Hong-chul knocked Su Yu's head with his jade bone fan.
Su Yu covered the place where he was knocked and raised his head to look at the Emperor. For the first time, he gathered the courage to carefully observe those beautiful eyes. In the depths of those eyes that were as bright as obsidian, there was a strange amber color. He always thought that those eyes were always filled with impatience and impatience, but when he calmed down and looked, it wasn't like that. Those beautiful eyes clearly reflected his figure, calm and steady.
Looking at those eyes, Su Yu couldn't help but blurt out, "Chen wants to go to Prince Zhao's fu to discuss the opening of the store with the prince." Suddenly, he wanted to know if there would be suspicion or even killing intent in those unimaginably beautiful eyes. This possibility made Su Yu nervously clench his fists … … he must be crazy … …
"Hong Ge isn't in the fu today," An Hong-chul frowned, "You can discuss the matter of opening the store with Yuan Ce."
Huh? Su Yu blinked. When the Emperor heard that the prince was colluding with the favored concubine, shouldn't he say, "You have guts" or "You slut"? Why was the Emperor so calm? And who was Yuan Ce?
After thinking for a long time, he remembered that Yuan Ce was Mr. Yuan. Su Yu had been dragged out of the Xian Mantang by the Emperor, "You can't do everything by yourself even if you tire yourself to death."
The Emperor didn't have any suspicions and even seemed to know everything … … Something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it. Su Yu suppressed the inexplicable joy and chaotic thoughts in his heart and scratched his head, "Then let me explain to Mr. Yuan."
"Why are you so long-winded?" The Emperor grabbed Su Yu who was trying to turn back, "Yuan Ce will be at your disposal in the future. We'll discuss it tomorrow. Now, come with me to a place."
As he spoke, two people in black jumped down from the top of the wall. After they saluted An Hong-chul, one of them came forward and whispered something to him. The Emperor frowned slightly and waved his hand to let them leave.
"What's that?" Su Yu's eyes widened as he saw the two black figures appear with a whoosh and disappear with a whoosh.
"Shadow Guard." An Hong-chul said lightly and glanced at the surprised Su Yu. He wouldn't tell this stupid slave that these two Shadow Guards had been following Su Yu since two months ago. He was stupid and didn't realize it.
Not long after, the Shadow Guard came with a well-decorated carriage. Su Yu was stuffed into the carriage and was still curiously looking around. There really was a profession called Shadow Guard!
Su Yu suddenly remembered that the Emperor had been misunderstood as a Shadow Guard, so he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why did you appear at the Su family's house and sleep on my bed?"
There was a moment of silence in the carriage. The Emperor looked out of the window with deep eyes and said after a long time, "You'll know later."
The carriage wobbled through the city and went straight to the hunting ground in the eastern suburbs.
The hunting ground in the eastern suburbs was the imperial family's hunting ground. It covered an area of thousands of mu and was very vast. It wasn't hunting season right now, so the sons of nobles could ride horses and shoot arrows here on weekdays.
"Does Your Majesty want to ride a horse?" Su Yu got off the carriage and saw the open grassland and rolling hills. He suddenly felt relaxed and happy.
An Hong-chul shook his head. "I'll take you to a place." As he said this, he extended a hand to him.
The slender and white hand had distinct joints and a pretty pink fingertip. Su Yu looked around. The two Shadow Guards had disappeared in an instant and there was no one around. He swallowed his saliva and reached out to hold that pretty hand. This kind of mystery actually made him feel a bit of anticipation. Were they on a date?
They jumped over a small stream, circled around a small forest, and made many turns that were very remote. Then, they climbed up a small hill that was only six meters tall. The Emperor suddenly stopped and slightly curled the corners of his lips. "This is a place that Hong Kuan and I often came to when we were young. Only the two of us know this place."
In front of them was the sunny slope of the small hill. Starting from the top of the hill and continuing to the forest in the distance, there were large patches of lush green foxtail grass!
