Chapter 24 Hot Pot

Queen's Misery

The more colorful the cocktail, the more difficult it will be to prepare it.

But Jiang Qiubai wasn't stage fright, and if he didn't know how to do it, he found the recipe on the spot to learn.

Jiang Qiubai made a rainbow cocktail for Xu Ruoqing today. Seeing the rainbow after the storm, he hopes that Ah Qing's life will get better and better in the future.

As dazzling as a rainbow after a storm.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qiubai made another cup of Long Island iced tea for the empress.

Because the empress said she wanted to try spirits, but she also disliked the poor palatability of spirits and the taste was too choking, so Jiang Qiubai immediately thought of the Long Island Iced Tea cocktail.

The appearance is high and the alcohol content is high, but the palatability is very good.

"Empress, although the name of this wine has the word tea in it, it really has great stamina. You have to take it easy, it's not lower than the alcohol content of white wine." Jiang Qiubai couldn't help nagging after serving it.

The queen's personality has always been calm, after seeing her nodding, Jiang Qiubai stopped talking.

Finally, I made a dry martini for Qu Shuling, which met Qu Shuling's requirements and had a high degree.

After the wine was mixed, the takeaway just arrived, and Mo Ying arrived as soon as the bottom material was put into the pot.

"You came at the right time." Jiang Qiubai immediately called Mo Ying over to have hot pot together.

After getting along for a period of time, everyone discovered that Mo Ying Shangshen has a cold-faced and warm-hearted personality, except for a little coldness, there is nothing wrong with it.

So now the two tables of guests are not as clear as before.

Occasionally, Ah Qing and the Empress would say a few words to Mo Ying, and Mo Ying would always answer, but his tone was a little cold and his mouth was a little bit poisonous.

However, this was the first time Jiang Qiubai invited Mo Ying to eat at the same table with them.

This hot pot is not easy to share, and Jiang Qiubai only has an induction cooker and a pot, so there is no way to share it out for Mo Ying.

If you leave a portion for Shangshen after it is cooked, you will lose the original fun of eating hot pot.

The hotpot ingredients in the pot were gurgling and boiling, the air was filled with spicy and delicious aroma, and the uncooked dishes on the table were all extremely fresh.

Mo Ying's Adam's apple twitched subtly, and after Jiang Qiubai invited him again, he "reluctantly" sat down.

Jiang Qiubai felt happy, this god is indeed a foodie, thinking that the hot pot is more spicy, he made another drink for Mo Ying, and then served it.

It just so happened that the ones that were cooked at the beginning were ready to eat.

"Eat, eat, eat quickly." Jiang Qiubai waved his chopsticks, "Don't be polite to me, if there are not enough dishes, let's order later, let's have a good meal tonight."

To be honest, since Jiang's family went bankrupt, he really hasn't had a good meal for a long time.

Usually, he basically ordered fried rice and rice bowls, and occasionally had supper with everyone. He was very satisfied with this hot pot meal today.

Jiang Qiubai, who was treating the guests, moved his chopsticks, and the guests stretched their chopsticks into the pot.

I have to say that eating hot pot is indeed the best way to enhance feelings.

After a round of food and drink, the alcohol was also slightly on the rise, and everyone's chatterbox opened.

First, Xu Ruoqing said what he was doing these days when he was not here, so that everyone could rest assured.

Then Qu Shuling said that he only brought back the batch of fabrics, and he sent them to his servants to make clothes, but he didn't expect the servants to wear them on the street, and someone would inquire about the origin of the fabric.

The empress was also in the same situation. She asked her father to send them to the military camp. The quality of this batch of fabrics was excellent, but the quantity was too small to be distributed.

They all want to ask about the origin of this batch of fabrics.

"It's simple." Xu Ruoqing said, "I'll give you the formula of the potion, and you can take it home and study it yourself, and you can make it yourself in the future."

He said it lightly, but both Qu Shuling and the empress were a little shocked. Wasn't the potion a secret recipe that Ah Qing's parents forced him to swear that he would never pass it on to the outside world?

Is it appropriate to just give it to them so generously?

Xu Ruo smiled lightly. This was his thought after careful consideration. The empress empress and Lord Ling gave him a lot of help. Without them, he would not be able to take revenge.

But these two people are not short of money, and he was still worried about how to repay them.

Now there is a way, since they all need the cloth soaked in that potion, just give them the potion.

Anyway, they are in different worlds, and it will not have any influence on their Xu family, and it is not considered a violation of their mother and father's entrustment.

After hearing Ah Qing's explanation, several people were slightly relieved.

The Empress raised her glass, "Everything is in the wine, let's toast Boss Jiang together."

"Cheers." Jiang Qiubai was also very happy. If we come and go, this is a friend.

By the way, he also secretly teased the misfit Mo Ying, "God, even if you drink a drink, you can have a drink with us. It's fate to be here."

Mo Ying cast a glance at him, then still raised his glass and slammed it slightly.

But it only touched Jiang Qiubai's cup.

In the second half of the hot pot meal, everyone was a big eater, and ordered a total of three takeaway dishes.

The wine glasses on the table have been changed several times.

The Empress's Long Island Iced Tea has finally come to the fore.

In the past, the empresses in everyone's eyes were noble and steady, but today's empresses are different. Instead, they look like a girl in her 20s.

Every guest who comes to the tavern has his own pain in his heart.

The empress didn't mention it before, and I don't know if the atmosphere today is too good, and the chatterbox is getting bigger and bigger.

It turned out that the suffering of the empress is that she has no children.

In other words, she could have had her own children.

Ten years ago, when the Seventh Prince ascended the throne, she became a queen, and the Seventh Prince's concubine naturally became the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager used to come from a scholarly family, so she had a little disdain for the Empress Dowager who came from a family of generals.

But the son liked it, and the first emperor also issued an imperial edict, so she, a concubine who was not very favored, naturally dared not say anything.

But later, her son became the emperor, and she jumped from an old concubine to the empress dowager.

The emperor had only been enthroned for three months, followed the ancestral system, and went to the Taimiao for seven days to clean up, and the empress naturally accompanied her there.

That is to say, during these seven days, the Empress Dowager decided to select dozens of girls of the right age from among the daughters of the court ministers and send them to the palace.

Which emperor in history is not Sangong Liuyuan?

It was already late when the emperor and empress returned to the palace, and they had already lived in the harem.

The emperor was annoyed by his mother's arbitrariness, and wanted to send all the people out of the palace.

But the emperor has only been on the throne for three months, and the foundation of the court is not stable. These women are the daughters of ministers. They are sent to the palace and then sent out. Isn't this a slap in the face of other ministers?

In the end, under the coercion of the queen mother and the compromise and persuasion of the empress, the emperor temporarily kept this group of women.

It's just that the emperor never summoned any women, instead he stayed in Fengwu Palace of the Empress every day.

They are still discussing, after a few days, when this matter fades away, they are trying to find a way to send these women out of the palace, and they will make up for what should be compensated.

But how can there be peace in the harem?

Those women who were sent to the palace, many of them were the daughters of important ministers, had the support of their natal families behind them, so their minds were naturally more active.

What to send snacks, chance encounter in the imperial garden, dance at a certain palace banquet...

It's just different.

The emperor still never looked directly at these women.

In the harem at that time, the empress's family dominated. Although the empress dowager was dissatisfied, her son had already been annoyed by the matter of choosing a concubine without authorization, so she could not interfere in her son's affairs.

Later, those women used more and more methods.

What medicine, sneaked into the emperor's soup spring, which annoyed the emperor very much.

If that's all, that's all. The turning point is that the empress is pregnant.

The empress has always been generous to others. Although she also wants to be a couple for the rest of her life, as an empress, she is the mother of the world. There are some things that she has realized before marrying the Seventh Prince.

So she turned a blind eye to those women's small actions.

What if you are not reconciled?

But she never thought that people would treat her behavior as a soft persimmon.

Like all Gongdou dramas, the empress failed to keep this baby. It has been more than five months, and she ate the extra snacks by mistake, and the child was gone.

Even the Empress herself almost died, and dozens of imperial physicians used their housekeeping skills to hang their lives.

The emperor was furious and overturned the palace to find the murderer.

Maybe the murderer did it too covertly, or someone deliberately helped to hide it, but in the end the real murderer couldn't be found.

In a rage, the emperor immediately changed the blood in the palace, and all the maids and eunuchs were beaten to death and thrown out of the palace.

As for those women, they were all punished and then sent out of the palace. Even their fathers were repeatedly rebuffed in the court. What's more, many officials lost their official hats.

That incident almost triggered the reform of the court, and everyone saw how much the emperor valued the queen empress. After that, no one said that they would take the initiative to give the emperor a woman, even the empress dowager dared not.

It's just that this is useless, the empress's body is injured, and it will be difficult to conceive in the future.

The emperor didn't care, he still doted on this woman who accompanied him on the battlefield and pulled him back from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. This favor lasted for ten years.

And the empress has never been pregnant again in the past ten years.

Now, she and the emperor are not too young. It is impossible for the royal family to have no heirs. The events of the past have faded away. Countless ministers have asked the emperor to expand the harem and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family.

Regardless of the emperor's disregard, he was even planning to adopt a child from the side branch prince to inherit the throne.

Perhaps because of these ministers playing the vanguard, the empress dowager, who had been quiet for more than ten years, grew courageous again. Recently, she began to act as a monster again. The empress empress is caught in the middle, which is happy and sweet, but also sad and helpless.

Even in the families of ordinary people, it is not uncommon for the main wife to have nothing to do for ten years, and it is common to take concubines to carry on the family line.

She knew in her heart that there was no room for anyone between herself and the emperor, and the only way was to conceive a child and block the mouths of everyone.

But she hasn't seen a doctor less in the past ten years, and even secretly tried folk remedies, but there is still no movement.

Xu Ruoqing was so dizzy from drinking, he stuck out his tongue: "If the empress just wants to have a baby, I might have a way."

The author says:

Little cuties, please accept it in advance.

There are two books to be opened next.

"I and the Gods Draw a Bet"

Copywriting: When Song Qiuci was 16 years old, just after he was kicked out of the orphanage, a handsome man with white hair like snow suddenly appeared in front of him.

He saw with his own eyes that this handsome man moved the wind and called the rain, changed his shape and changed his shadow, and changed in every possible way.

The white-haired man claims to be a god, and he needs to sign a contract with mortals to help him practice, and he can also protect mortals' longevity.

Song Qiuci, who was homeless and in his second year of middle school, agreed without even thinking about it.

In two years, Song Qiuci relied on the elixir of the gods, washed the essence of the Book of Changes, and looked like a fairy, and became the hottest niche in the entertainment industry.

But after him, the gods let him fulfill the contract.

What training contract?

That meow is a marriage contract!

Song Qiuci was numb.

This fairy is indeed a fairy, but he is not a serious thing.

The last nine-tailed fox in the world became a god, named: the God of Joy.

Jiuqing: "White and black, Ah Ci still wants to renege on his debt?"

Song Qiuci rolled his eyes, and he was serious about popularizing science with him. Only when they love each other can they get married.

Jiuqing thought for a while, "Well, I love you very much, and it's up to you. Find a way to fall in love with me yourself."

Song Qiuci: ".." Can you be normal?

But he also gradually discovered that this world is actually very abnormal.

The director with a mustache, a professional in historical drama, is a sea turtle who has lived for thousands of years.

Popular actress, the famous melon seed face plastic model, is a thousand-year-old snake demon.

..

And he himself seemed less and less like a person.

"Age Difference" short sweet article.

A short cookie with more than [-] words, I wrote it whenever I found time.

If you are interested, you can collect it first.

Nan Qiushuo, 25 years old, 172 cm in height, has a baby face that looks like he is only 15 years old, not a famous cosplayer, but an everyday actress.

Wen Zhemeng, 30 years old, 187cm in height, gold-rimmed glasses and a vacuum flask are standard equipment, a university teacher, his life is as boring as a retired old man.

The original 5-year-old age difference made the two of them play with a 35-year-old age difference.

The two first met:

Nan Qiushuo just came out of the manga exhibition, and went to help his brother fight with his fiery red fake hair.

When he turned his head, he was caught and educated by that gentle-looking Wen Zhemeng for an entire hour.

In the end, he cheated Wen Zhemeng of 200 yuan without hesitation, and was going to wash his ears.

As soon as Wen Zhemeng came out of his alma mater in junior high school that day, he saw a red-haired gangster playing a [-]v[-], and the fight was so fierce.

As a teacher, he can't see his little classmates going astray.So, he earnestly educated Nan Qiushuo for an hour.

And after learning that Nan Qiushuo was robbed by the gangster just now because of his living expenses, he gave him 200 yuan for food.

The two meet for the second time:

One person got drunk at a party, and the other was tricked, and the unexpected spring breeze was once in a while.

Wen Zhemeng woke up the next day, seeing the face of the young teeth in front of him, felt scared for the first time in his life, tremblingly picked up the phone and prepared to call himself.

Nan Qiushuo immediately threw out his ID card.

Wen Zhemeng breathed a sigh of relief, but in his world view, he should be responsible for what happened.

Nan Qiushuo was happy, and agreed like a prank.

As a result, he got into big trouble.

After that, their life became like this:

Wen Zhemeng: You are still young, it is not too late to go to college, I can help you with tutoring.

Nan Qiushuo: I'm going to play a role soon, and I'm short of a CP. I think your height is quite suitable.

Wen Zhemeng: You must turn off the lights at ten o'clock in the evening and go to bed, and get up at five o'clock in the morning for morning exercises.

Nan Qiushuo: What are you kidding?I made an all-night broadcast with fans tonight.

..

最后:

Nan Qiushuo, who was fishing in class, came across a trending search: Wen Zhemeng, a full set of cosplay makeup, accidentally exposed his abs at the comic exhibition, and became famous in the first battle.
