Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 130 Wind Direction
Xie Yun'an has always been a person who has no demands for food.

But nothing can withstand comparison. For people who are used to eating snacks and drinking tea, suddenly drinking a bowl of hot porridge will naturally feel a different feeling.

Not to mention, this bowl of porridge was made by the concubine herself.

As for cooking skills, they are naturally not as good as the chefs in the imperial kitchen. Those chefs in the imperial kitchen can cook a small bowl of porridge in countless ways, and they can't wait to show off all their skills.

But this bowl of porridge is different. The minced meat is not finely minced, and no precious ingredients are added. The most common vegetable is small spinach leaves, but after absorbing the salty taste, it can satisfy people's most basic needs for food. As a prince and emperor for so many years, Xie Yun'an, who never tires of fine food, has not eaten such a careless breakfast for a long time.

But very nice.

The women in the palace would always say that they cooked for the emperor themselves, which could be considered a wife's love for her husband. However, those who said this - including the imperial concubine - were just watching others prepare the food and then pretending that they had cooked it themselves.

Even if you can serve the food yourself, it is already considered thoughtful.

But this bowl of porridge is different. It looks ordinary and tastes ordinary. It is the result of Yao Jinse's craftsmanship. A bowl of vegetable porridge is not a good thing, but the effort of making it personally...

Even someone as suspicious by nature as Xie Yun'an couldn't help but look at Yao Jinse a little more.

Yao Jinse in the morning was like two different people from her under the moonlight last night. After returning to her usual taciturn self, she seemed to become boring again.

But it's not the same.

The warm porridge was not too hot. As the time for the morning court session was approaching, Xie Yun'an could not stay here for too long, so he finished it quickly.

During this process, Yao Jinse said nothing.

Like a silent tree.

well.

Countless descriptions flashed through Xie Yun'an's mind, but he finally felt that this person was a bit interesting. It was probably because there were too many women around him in the past and his eyes had never been on Yao Jinse. Now, after observing her so carefully, he could actually find some sincerity hidden in the silence of such a not-so-outstanding person.

He put down the bowl of porridge, stood up and left.

Yao Jinse had already squatted down the moment he stood up. Before she could finish her words "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid farewell to you", she heard Xie Yun'an's voice and his hand on her shoulder.

"The porridge is good. You are thoughtful."

After Xie Yun'an finished speaking, he led his men away quickly without giving Yao Jinse a chance to speak.

-

Bai Tao and Bai Tan were kneeling behind Yao Jinse at first. When they heard the emperor praising their young lady for her thoughtfulness, they didn't know what to say.

As soon as the emperor left, the two of them couldn't wait to surround him. Over there, two little girls, Bailu and Baishuang, also came in carrying a casserole - this was originally prepared for the emperor. The casserole was placed nearby, and if the emperor didn't eat enough, he could get more in three quarters of an hour.

After all, it's not breakfast time, and a bowl of porridge is just a morning snack.

"My lady, I watched you cook this porridge with my own eyes. I didn't even see you put anything in it. How come the emperor likes it so much?" Yao Jinse looked at the curious looks on the faces of the maids around her, raised her hand and asked Bai Shuang to get five bowls and spoons, and served all the porridge in the casserole.

Anyway, the emperor will never come back now, and no one can see them inside, so there is no need to observe so many etiquette.

If nothing unexpected happens, these four girls in front of me will be the ones who will accompany me through the rest of my life.

She knew that the ancients were good at using techniques to control their subordinates, which emphasized the use of both kindness and severity. However, she had long seen the loyalty of these girls. Whether they were brought from home or raised by her, she had spent so much time and effort on these four people. If they still had the intention of rebelling against her after they had given them their hearts, then she had misjudged them, and she accepted that.

While they were chatting and laughing, Bai Shuang had already brought the bowls. The master and servants divided five bowls of porridge and there was some left. They tasted it one by one, and finally gave the remaining ones to Bai Shuang - this girl was the youngest but had the biggest appetite. She was in the period of growing up, so she was not afraid of getting fat. The more she ate, the better.

"Um……"

Bai Tao is a person who loves to eat. After drinking the porridge, Yao Jinse looked at her and wanted to hear her opinion, but she couldn't say anything.

"My lord, this porridge must be very good. I am not good at speaking and cannot taste it, but it must be very good."

Yao Jinse laughed out loud.

"Okay, you don't have to bother praising me. Don't I know my own craftsmanship?"

It's just ordinary.

But when it comes to the word "ordinary", we also have to consider who it is being spoken to.

The servants ate these every day, so they naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with it. However, the emperor had never suffered such hardship. What Yao Jinse provided was just a replica of the "Farmhouse" experience.

It’s just that this kind of pleasure is over once you’ve enjoyed it. If you enjoy it for a long time, you will definitely compare yourself with others. On the contrary, it is more enjoyable if you enjoy it occasionally.

And from last night till now, all of this was an experience tailored by Yao Jinse for Xie Yun'an.

Xie Yun'an is a person who can never be flattered. The more obedient he is, the less fresh he feels. Even the imperial concubine has to play some new things with him from time to time, not to mention the empress. Her old-fashioned and rigid personality is what the current emperor dislikes the most.

Even if you serve such an emperor as your boss, it is really difficult to deal with him.

Fortunately, it’s good like this now.

……

News from the palace usually starts to circulate as the sun rises high in the sky. Because the Queen has shown mercy, today is not a day for paying respects. However, for Yao Jinse, she can still feel that the atmosphere in the palace is a little different.

The Imperial Concubine didn't say anything. After all, it was she who was in charge of the whole thing. It was a good thing for her that the Emperor could stay in Yuxiu Palace - as long as he didn't go to Liuchun Pavilion or to He Yunqing's place, the Imperial Concubine would feel at ease.

Sometimes, Yao Jinse didn’t even know where the imperial concubine’s resistance to Qiao Yanran came from, and ultimately she could only attribute it to fate - perhaps the characters’ fates had already been determined by an invisible hand when they appeared, so even if there was no conflict, they disliked each other.

But Yao Jinse didn't need to think about these things. She only needed to deal with the present. Not to mention anything else, just after coming out of Chengqian Palace, she met several concubines along the way. This was not an ordinary sight.

In such a cold day, who would have nothing better to do than stay in their own palace and choose to go out and enjoy the scenery?
