Bai Susu quickly poured a glass of pear juice for the emperor. Emperor Xuan Jing took it, drank a sip, and ate a few bites of other dishes before he felt the soreness in his throat was better.
This spiciness is indeed a bit strong.
"Your Majesty..." Bai Susu's eyes were filled with tears and she was about to kneel down to apologize.
After all, Eunuch Wang's eyes were enough to kill her.
Seeing her like this, Emperor Xuan Jing couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and said, "Maybe the first bite was too strong, it will be better later."
Wang Fuhai's eyes widened like bells. "What? Your Majesty, do you want more?"
He was about to use death as a warning, but Bai Susu's little head moved even faster. She brought the bowl of hot and sour noodles to him, took a bite, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't eat it. I'll eat it." Then she quickly scooped a mouthful and put it in her mouth.
If I eat it, you won’t eat it.
Emperor Xuan Jing was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
The hearty laughter made the servants in Qixiang Palace feel relieved. Not to mention their master, they all knelt down with weak legs after the emperor's scolding just now.
Bai Susu was dumbfounded. What was she laughing at? Did she look stupid?
But when Emperor Xuan Jing smiles... he looks pretty good.
Although his eyes have always been particularly deep, when he looks at you, the imperial pressure will make you breathless.
But when he smiled, there was warmth in his eyes, and even the faint smile lines at the corners of his eyes looked particularly charming.
Bai Susu secretly despised herself in her heart, why are you still only concerned with looking at her face at this time?
Emperor Xuan Jing did find Bai Susu very interesting. Her behavior was always unexpected, but it also revealed her rare truthfulness.
The women in the palace all knew the rules very well, and their words and actions seemed to be regulated by a ruler, but Bai Susu... the rules seemed to not exist in front of her.
For example, she could boldly take the food from him and put it into her own mouth...
The strange thing is that Emperor Xuan Jing didn't find her annoying at all despite her being so unruly.
Anyway, her thoughts are very simple. I took it away because I didn't want you to eat it, because it would be spicy for you. You can't eat spicy food, so I'll eat it.
This simple concern brought a touch of warmth to Emperor Xuan Jing's heart.
For the first time, Emperor Xuan Jing felt that apart from her body odor, Bai Susu was different from others.
In short, when the emperor smiled, everyone relaxed.
Although I don’t know why the emperor is laughing.
Maybe it's because I feel stupid.
Bai Susu thought.
At this moment, the system said with dismay, "Master, you also know this? The way to conquer the emperor is to play dumb? I don't understand."
Bai Susu thought to herself, what's the point of pretending to be stupid? She wasn't pretending to be stupid. She was... not!
"Emperor Xuan Jing is intelligent and wise, well-educated, and has been on the throne for over a decade. How can I possibly outsmart him? The Emperor looks at me like water in a shallow dish. It's better for me to be honest with him."
"Okay, the master's truth is stupidity."
Bai Susu was almost pissed to death by the system.
Emperor Xuan Jing was in a good mood, though. Although he didn't eat the hot and sour noodles, he did try a few other dishes. Of course, these dishes weren't all made by Deng Sanguan. Sun Yishao was the head chef, after all. He wanted to honor the emperor, and Deng Sanguan couldn't stop him.
Due to time constraints, no big dishes could be prepared. Apart from the hot and sour noodles, Deng Sanguan also made a few refreshing cold dishes to relieve the spiciness. For example, one of the dishes was jellyfish and cucumber, so much so that Emperor Xuan Jing took two more chopsticks.
Sun Yishao focused on the freshness of the ingredients and made a dish of stir-fried chicken with bamboo shoots and another one of stir-fried river shrimp.
The chicken is authentic three-yellow chicken, and the shrimp is fresh. They are stir-fried quickly over high heat, which is both refreshing and delicious.
It must be said that Sun Yishao is quite skilled in cooking. These two dishes may look insignificant, but they are exceptionally delicious. The emperor is very pleased with them.
But the emperor is a man who has eaten all kinds of delicious food. For him, the most special thing on this table of dishes may be the hot and sour noodles that he only took a bite of.
Therefore, he only rewarded the chef who made the hot and sour noodles - Deng Sanguan.
It's nothing special. After all, Xiao Chang had enthusiastically recommended the hot and sour crystal noodles. As long as she was satisfied with it, that was all that mattered.
When Deng Sanguan received the reward from the emperor, he burst into tears. He had been unknown for so many years, and now he had received the emperor's reward! This was truly a great honor!
He knew that this was all thanks to Bai Susu, so he served her wholeheartedly from then on. Although the emperor's reward was not for him, it allowed him to live a long and peaceful life. This is a story for later.
While Deng Sanguan was beaming with joy as he accepted the reward, Sun Yishao nearly bit his teeth off. He had never expected that a dish of hot and sour crystal noodles would allow Deng Sanguan to stand out in front of the emperor!
He was the first one to be given the recipe!

After the emperor finished his meal, Bai Susu invited him to take a walk after eating.
Emperor Xuan Jing gladly accepted it.
Although it was summer, there was always a bit of coolness at night, unlike the heat during the day. Bai Susu changed into a rosy-colored shirt with a butterfly pattern, and put on the golden butterfly hairpin given by the emperor himself. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror again and again, and only went out after finding nothing wrong.
"Your Majesty~"
The weather was beautiful tonight, and the moonlight was like silver pouring down on the ground. Emperor Xuan Jing was standing under this moonlight.
Seeing Bai Susu holding up her skirt in a hurry, a smile flashed in Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes, and then he stretched out his hand to her from a distance.
Bai Susu's smile was as beautiful as a flower, captivating the heart. She threw herself directly into Emperor Xuan Jing's arms and hugged his arm domineeringly.
Smelling the richer warm fragrance, Emperor Xuan Jing paused slightly.
When Nanchun and the others saw their master hanging on the emperor like a boneless person, they almost knelt down to apologize.
When the emperor stopped, Nanchun broke out in a cold sweat.
Who knew that his master's voice, like one pound of honey, would ring out, revealing an innocent tone: "Your Majesty, why don't you leave?"
Emperor Xuan Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at Bai Susu. The woman had rosy cheeks and beautiful eyebrows. She was at the best age of sixteen or seventeen. In addition, she had an extraordinary appearance. Just one look at you with her sparkling eyes made ripples appear in his heart.
He clenched his fist, but didn't try to break free from the small hand holding his arm. He strode forward and said, "Nothing."
The weather is very good tonight. The moonlight spreads on the ground like flowing water, illuminating the shadows of trees swaying in the wind and the two people snuggling together.
Bai Susu never stopped talking since they started walking. She was not as quiet as the other concubines. Instead, she chattered non-stop beside him, and when she talked excitedly, she would sway her body slightly.
The hairpins on her head occasionally made tinkling sounds as her body swayed.
Seeing the emperor's gaze fall on her head, Bai Susu stroked the hairpin with one hand, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "Your Majesty, does this hairpin look good on me? This is the one you gave me today. I like it very much."
Emperor Xuan Jing suddenly realized and remembered the inconspicuous white jade hairpin she had worn just now, which seemed to be among the rewards he gave her today.
He nodded and said, "It looks good. That white jade hairpin suits you very well."
Bai Susu smiled, and Emperor Xuan Jing felt his arm being pulled tighter.
He smiled helplessly and thought to himself, you don't know how to hide it at all, do you like him that much?
Even the hairpins he gave as rewards had to be worn in turn for him to see.
Perhaps it was because the weather was just right, neither too cold nor too hot, or because the people around him soothed his headache, but Emperor Xuan Jing felt a peace he had never felt before. An ordinary evening walk actually took on a sense of warmth and happiness.
