Seeing Shen Xun watching intently, Zhao Jue said lightly from the side: "These words were engraved by myself..." Shen Xun focused on the seal and did not answer.Zhao Jue was a little guilty. This "Long Lovesickness, Never Forget Me" was engraved by her after careful consideration. In order not to be abrupt, she also added a common auspicious phrase in front of the Qin State's New Year's greetings, "Yin Qi Yang, Yi Gong Hall." Seeing Shen Xun's silence, Zhao Jue stirred his sleeves with his fingers, and murmured: "I saw the bronze mirror in front of me, with the words 'Long Lovesickness, Never Forget' printed on it, and I think it complements 'Long Le Wei Young'... I engraved it as a New Year greeting and presented it to the Taifu..."

Just as Zhao Jue was still worried about whether Shen Xun would notice his little thoughts and his heart was pounding, Shen Xun raised his eyes, his eyes were as clear as streams, and his face was as smooth as jade: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift, this jade badge , I am very happy."

8 Eat together

While the two were talking, Qin led the palace people to prepare meals.

The court and nobles of the state of Qin have always had one case per case, and each case is served separately.Today, I saw that the case of two servants was placed between them.This case is bigger than usual.Shen Xun was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking: "This food table is very special, I wonder what Your Majesty has prepared?" Zhao Jue snickered, pretending to be mysterious: "Teacher, please wait for a while."

Shen Xun remained expressionless on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart that the empress seemed to be more casual in front of her... and he seemed to be more indulgent to the empress.The empress couldn't calm down when she practiced calligraphy, and she wanted to impose a small punishment, but her heart softened because the empress told her not to go away; on the New Year's Eve, because the empress said, "I'm afraid I will pass this year alone", I decided to accompany her to watch the year. Going back to the Shen Mansion to reunite with her parents... She has always been cold-tempered and rarely treats others like this...

While Shen Xun was thinking about it, he saw two servants coming again. This time they carried a tripod. This tripod was divided into four compartments, and each compartment was filled with boiled soup.Another palace attendant holds a bronze basin with charcoal fire in it, which is placed under the tripod.Shen Xun was stunned: "I heard that Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu in the Han Dynasty, loved to cook hot pot. Did your Majesty imitate it?"

Zhao Jue said with a smile: "What the Grand Tutor said is that I think it is the most appropriate time to eat hot pot in winter, so I ordered someone to prepare it and eat it with the Grand Tutor." After he finished speaking, he blinked at Shen Xun and said: "Eating When cooking hot pot, there is one thing that is very important, does the Taifu know what it is?"

Shen Xun usually eats lightly, and rarely pays attention to eating, so he shook his head lightly.

Zhao Jue frowned and said, "It's a dyeing device."

At this time, the palace people just brought the dyeing device and put it on the table.This set of dyeing utensils is also imitated from the Han Dynasty, which is quite exquisite.The dyeing device is composed of three parts: ear cup, plate and furnace.The palace people took bean paste, wheat paste, bean sauce, magnolia, and dogwood mixed into the ear cups, and then put the ear cups on the stove to heat.

Seeing the palace people busy, Shen Xun felt very fresh in his heart.Zhao Jue looked at Shen Xun's expression, and his joy was beyond words.She said to Shen Xun: "Confucius once said that if you don't have the sauce, you can't eat it. And this hot pot is inseparable from the seasoning of the sauce, and the sauce also needs to be warmed with charcoal fire, so that it is more delicious."

With that said, Zhao Jue held up the chopsticks, took a piece of mutton from the mutton soup grid in the tripod, put it on the plate in front of Shen Xun, and said, "Teacher, taste it."

Shen Xun nodded, raised the chopsticks and put the mutton into the earcup, dipped it in some steaming sauce, then opened his red lips slightly, slowly put the sliced ​​meat into his mouth, and chewed carefully.Zhao Jue watched intently, and when Shen Xun had finished eating, he hurriedly asked, "What do you think, Grand Tutor?"

Seeing Zhao Jue's serious look, Shen Xun couldn't help but curl his lips: "The mutton is dipped in sauce and has the fragrance of dogwood, it's very delicious."

Zhao Jue was very happy when he heard that, and he picked up the turnip from another vegetarian soup compartment, put it on Shen Xun's plate, and said: "Vegetables are delicious when dipped in sauce. This hot pot is originally made by adding soup first Bring to a boil, and then put the raw meat and vegetables into the hot soup to cook. I am worried that cooking like this will take too long, and the Taifu is afraid that he is already hungry, so he asked the palace servants to cook it first."

Shen Xun chuckled: "You'll be hungry somewhere. Please take care of your majesty, this hot pot is very good. When I return to the mansion, I will also ask the cook to cook it."

Zhao Jue was even happier when he heard the words.

Shen Xun put the manjing dipped in the sauce into his mouth, and after eating, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhao Jue with clear eyes.The hot pot in front of her was smoking, which made Shen Xun's eyebrows and eyes a little cloudy. She opened her mouth slowly and asked, "Your Majesty has lived in the inner palace for a long time, how do you know these fresh ways of eating?"

Zhao Jue's hand holding up the chopsticks couldn't help but froze, but his face remained the same.She looked at Shen Xun and smiled slightly, and said: "I heard from my aunt. My aunt has always loved me, and often asked the imperial chef to make some fresh food for me to taste."

"That's how it is..." Shen Xun pondered.

When Zhao Ju put the chopsticks on, she had a question in her heart and hid it for a long time.In the last life, I never had the courage to speak up. Now, it's better to take this opportunity to explore Shen Xun's inner thoughts.So, Zhao Jue looked at Shen Xun, and asked softly: "I wonder what kind of person the late emperor was in Taifu's heart?"

Shen Xun didn't expect the Empress to ask this, and was stunned for a moment.She quietly looked at the person in front of her, and in a trance, she felt that her face was more and more similar to that of the late emperor Zhao Jue, especially the brows and eyes, the eyes were bright and full of vitality, the eyebrows were black and slender, and the tail was slightly raised , into the temples.It is these eyebrows and eyes that lack the delicacy of an ordinary girl in a boudoir, but are full of heroism.Shen Xun stared blankly, his mind drifting away.

That year was still young.Shen Xun entered the palace as usual and studied with Zhao Jue.I went to Leyang Palace to look for Zhao Jue, but there was no one.Just as Shen Xun was looking forward, a voice came from behind: "Ah Xun!" Shen Xun turned around, with her skirt fluttering, and seeing Zhao Jue in front of her, she was so stunned that she couldn't speak for a moment.I saw Zhao Jue wearing a military uniform, a red black armor, holding a sword, tied up with black silk, and tied around Jiezhou.Seeing Shen Xun's shocked look, Zhao Jue smiled lightly, stepped forward and said, "How about this military uniform alone?" It was the first time Shen Xun saw Zhao Jue in military uniform. Raised, the heroic spirit is extraordinary.And looking at her expression, there seemed to be a clear spring in her eyes, crystal clear.Shen Xun raised his hand, caressed Zhao Jue's waist, and said: "Your Highness, this body is full of heroism." Zhao Jue was very happy when he was praised, and holding Shen Xun's hand, he said loudly: "One day, I will wear this suit if I am alone." Dressed in a military armor, I personally conquer the battlefield."
