Chapter 123 The Imperial Chef Seduces
It has been a few days since Shen Yu returned to the court. Emperor Showa originally wanted to hold a celebration banquet, but now it is the end of the year and there are many political affairs. Emperor Showa is busy and overwhelmed. He has not been to the harem for nearly half a month, so the banquet has been delayed again and again.
But a celebration banquet for the great victory over the Mobei Kingdom must be held. Finally, Emperor Showa decided to hold the celebration banquet together with the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.
The imperial concubine who was serving with pen and ink reminded Emperor Showa that the princess of Mobei Kingdom had been in the imperial city for a few days but had not yet been received.
Emperor Showa then remembered this matter.
So with a wave of his hand, he arranged the three events together at a banquet, which saved a lot of trouble.
Heavy snow fell. Shen Yu returned home after court and walked without stopping to Yimeyuan.
Xu Zhao had just finished washing up and was sitting at the table on the first floor with a hot water bottle in his hand. Several maids arranged by the housekeeper were carrying food boxes in and happened to be with Shen Yu.
Two maids carrying food boxes made way and bowed.
Heavy snow fell on Shen Yu's shoulders, and he was still damp when he entered the house.
Doukou, a personal maidservant beside Xu Zhao, stepped forward, took the cloak that Shen Yu had taken off, and took it outside to shake off the snow on it.
Even so, because they walked all the way on the palace road, a lot of snow water soaked into the cloak. Doukou and another maid Fuling took the cloak and dried it by the charcoal brazier.
Shen Yu sat down next to Xu Zhao and told her that His Majesty had mentioned during the morning court session that three banquets would be held together.
When Xu Zhao learned about this, he was amazed.
I don’t know what else to say, but at least for now, Emperor Showa is still frugal and in order to save trouble, he wants to do the three things together.
Nanxing and Banxia, carrying lunch boxes, placed them on the table and took out the breakfast items one by one.
Because the prince had ordered that he would come to have dinner with Miss Xu after court every day, the amount they brought was enough for two people.
"It seems that the Mobei envoy will be spending the New Year in Yue Country."
The envoys from Mobei originally came with a friendly agreement and had not yet met the King of Yue Kingdom, so they naturally could not leave easily.
Shen Yu didn't care about the affairs of the Mobei envoys at all. He was only responsible for fighting on the front line. As for other matters, they would naturally be decided by the Honglu Temple and His Majesty.
"This time, the three banquets are combined into one, and the Imperial Concubine has specially invited you to participate."
He remembered that when he was walking on the palace road out of the palace and approaching the palace gate, he could see the prince's carriage from afar, but was stopped by the eunuch beside the imperial concubine, who asked him to invite Xu Zhao to the palace to attend the banquet.
Xu Zhao frowned. "You and Qinghe are the only two people I know in this imperial city. It would be so boring to go to this banquet. I won't go."
She held the still hot dough sticks in her hand and shook her head.
Who among the time travelers doesn't know that this palace is a place where ferocious tigers and beasts are everywhere, and it's best not to enter if possible. Besides, she is not familiar with the imperial concubine.
"If you refuse, Qinghe will come to your door within a day."
As long as the Imperial Concubine makes up her mind, she will definitely find ways to make Xu Zhao attack. And the people with whom she has the best relationship in the Imperial City are herself and Qinghe. If one way doesn't work, she can just try another.
Shen Yu naturally also hoped that Xu Zhao would go. With him around, he believed that no one could bully her.
What's more, if Xu Zhao was left alone in the mansion to celebrate the New Year, that would be boring for her.
Spending the Spring Festival with Xu Zhao is something he has been looking forward to for many years.
"Do you still remember the dishes you had in Tianxiang Tower a few days ago? There are many imperial chefs cooking for this banquet. The dishes are definitely not to be underestimated. Don't you want to try them?" Knowing that Xu Zhao was difficult to persuade, Shen Yu used the dishes made by the imperial chefs to seduce Xu Zhao.
These high-ranking officials in the capital attend the New Year's Eve dinner every year, but probably no one would dare to say that he has tried all the dishes prepared by the imperial chef, let alone Xu Zhao, who has just arrived.
After hearing this, Xu Zhao's gluttony was aroused. She licked the corner of her mouth, and the soy milk and fried dough sticks in her hand suddenly lost their flavor.
What should I do? I’m so excited!
Think about the lion's head as big as a fist and the quail soaked in marinade, they seem to be waving to her!
"Your name is now Zhaoxi. No one will know your name as Xu Zhao. I promise that your name will not leave any trace in history."
If Xu Zhao agreed, he would immediately send someone to notify the imperial concubine and tell her Xu Zhao's new name. In this way, in public, Xu Zhao's name would only be Chaoxi.
After Shen Yu's persuasion, Xu Zhao, who had originally been determined not to enter the palace, began to waver.
Seeing her expression relax, Shen Yu knew he had hit the nail on the head. "The Imperial Concubine likes you so much that she gave you a set of jeweled head ornaments before we met last time. Maybe when you enter the palace this time, she will reward you with a royal chef."
As long as Xu Zhao enters the palace, this imperial chef will definitely be rewarded!
Xu Zhao's eyes widened when she thought that the imperial chef would cook for her every day here. It was a wonderful thing to think about. Maybe she could even learn a few skills from the imperial chef and cook for her parents when she returned!
"Okay, then I will reluctantly accompany you into the palace."
Xu Zhao felt much better when she thought that the imperial chef would soon cook for her. She dipped the soy milk in the fried dough sticks and found that they tasted much better.
……
Lunar New Year's eve.
The Imperial City is located in the north of the Moon Kingdom. I don’t know how many times it has snowed during the days I have been in the Imperial City.
Xu Zhao got up early today, and Doukou and Fuling together gave her a hairstyle that was the most popular at the time.
Doukou opened the brocade box containing the head ornaments given by the imperial concubine, and said, "Miss, today we are going to the palace to attend the New Year's Eve banquet. Would you like to bring the head ornaments given by the imperial concubine?"
This brocade box was originally put away by Doukou. Thinking that today was the girl's first time to attend an important banquet, she naturally had to attach importance to it, so she specially found the headwear.
Fuling also echoed: "The girl has fair skin, this headpiece will definitely make her look dazzling."
There were many red hairpins in this set of headwear. Doukou took out a golden hairpin with red and blue sapphire butterflies that she liked at first sight, and tried it on Xu Zhao's hairstyle.
"This hairpin is so beautiful. When the girl wears it, she will definitely be the most beautiful among all the girls." Fuling praised generously, and said a lot of nice words.
Who doesn't like being praised by others? Xu Zhao is no exception.
"Alright, alright, I know you two are sweet-talkers," Xu Zhao took the golden hairpin from Doukou's hand, "This hairpin is just too pretty, so you'd better not wear it."
"Why? Such a luxurious headdress can probably only be worn at this time." Fuling asked in confusion.
"No matter how beautiful the headdress is, it must be matched with the clothes." What's more, she didn't want to stand out too much at the dinner party.
Xu Zhao put the hairpin back into the brocade box and asked, "Has the prince delivered the clothes I need to wear today?"
Ever since she agreed to go to the palace for the banquet, Shen Yu has been like a peacock these days. He even specifically reminded her that he had already prepared the clothes for the New Year's Eve party.
In order to maintain a sense of mystery, he did not reveal what style it was.
