thank you + extra

It was obviously a boring job, but she didn't feel bored.

After an hour, start the pot.

What Xie Yi cooks is a bowl of chicken noodle soup. The chicken soup was boiled during the day, and the chicken was used. It had been boiled until it was boneless, and the soup was bright and fragrant. Xie Yi skimmed off the foam and continued to simmer in a casserole.

The noodles are kneaded by themselves, white and smooth, boiled in clear water until they are seven-ripe, and then let them cool to make the noodles soft and gluten, smooth in the mouth, and chewy.Then put the noodles into a bowl, and pour the hot chicken soup over it, which is delicious and fragrant.

Xie Yi took the food box and wanted to lead Liu Zao to the hall, but Liu Zao couldn't wait and refused to go, so he wanted to be here.

Fortunately, the Xiang's mansion is strictly controlled, and the place where the most oily smoke is produced under the kitchen is not greasy, and it is very clean.

Liu Zao hugged the bowl, and started to gobble it up, as if the palace had been starving her and would not satisfy her.Xie Yi had never seen her have such an appetite, gulping, but not gulping it down, savoring carefully before swallowing, her concentration was comparable to stuffing firewood into the stove just now.

Liu Zao ate it all in one go, even drank the soup, her stomach was bulging, and her whole body was full of warmth.She exhaled lightly and said, "It's so refreshing."

Xie Yi patted her and told her to get up and walk. When she went to her bedroom, she happened to pass through the garden, and she was about to walk into the garden.

Liu Zao was curious, and while following Xie Yi, he asked her, "When did the Prime Minister learn the cooking skill?" Prime Minister Xie was very busy, where did he find the time to learn cooking skills, she is the Prime Minister, busy with world affairs all day long.Xie Xiang is very proficient in the craftsmanship of considerable talents, which can be seen from time to time.

"I learned it from the cook during the period of convalescence."

During that time when the genius doctor came to Beijing, her injuries after falling off the horse were also healed, but Liu Zao had to ask her to take care of her for a while, so she had nothing to do, so she went to the kitchen to learn some cooking skills.

Liu Zao let out a long groan, the tone of his voice changed a thousand times, and there was a wicked smile on his lips.

Xie Yi turned her head, looked into the bamboo forest, saw the snow in the bamboo forest as bright as the moonlight passing through the dense forest, and ignored her.

Liu Zao glanced at her from time to time, and bit his lip to keep from laughing out loud.After taking two more steps, she finally couldn't hold back, leaned her head closer to Xie Yi's ear, and asked with a smile, "Is it the skill you learned for me?"

It's really bad, if you know it, you know it, she insisted on telling it, which made Xie Yi shy.

Xie Yi walked forward quickly, Liu Zao chased her, tugged at her sleeve, and refused to let her go, "Am I right?"

She is really annoying, without the stability and majesty of the emperor.Xie Yi was so entangled that she couldn't help it, so she wanted to answer casually, just deal with it, anyway, His Majesty is a bit stubborn, but it's easy to deal with.

But as soon as she stopped and opened her mouth, she said, "For the time being, I only know this."

After she finished speaking, she felt embarrassed, saw the bedroom in front of her eyes, and walked over quickly.

Liu Zao was even happier, full of smiles, followed behind her, entered the room for a long time, still smiling.Xie Yi was helpless, sighed, and said, "How did you become so stupid, I couldn't see it when I was young."

It was obvious that she thought she was stupid, but Liu Zao smiled deeper as if he had heard some praise.Xie Yi had no choice but to turn her head away without looking at her, but after a while, she couldn't help but smile.

It's already this hour, so Liu Zao will not be driven back to the palace.

Candles were lit in the room, and the maidservants were sent away. Xie Yi leaned on the couch, feeling much more relaxed.

They were silent for a while, and finally it was Xie Yi who started the conversation first, "I have already mentioned the matter between you and me to Wen'er."

That's why Liu Zao came here today, but he just didn't know how to speak.Judging by Xie Wen's attitude, he knew it must be bad.She lowered her eyelids and said, "The first ups and downs I don't want to encounter are actually people we trust."

She had also estimated that the ministers would definitely oppose it, and the princes would also look at him with anger. Xie Wen might also be disgusted when he heard about it, but she didn't expect that he would feel that he wanted to draw a line with the prime minister's house.

"How did he say it?" Liu Zao asked.

Xie Yi would not tell her the exact words, but said, "I'm afraid he won't want to contribute."

Liu Zao smiled, his heart was filled with anger.A man who has been the emperor for a long time is bound to be the only one who respects me. Just as he was about to sarcastically say a few words, he saw the depression and disappointment on Xie Yi's face.

She suddenly came to her senses. To her, Xie Wen was just a minister who could be used for a while, but to Prime Minister Xie, he was still a very close junior. She taught him and cultivated him with all her heart and soul. of.

Liu Zao swallowed his angry words, and comforted him, "In other things, he is very filial. It can be seen that his heart is not bad. You have not misunderstood the person. Maybe he just couldn't accept it for a while, and after a while, he will come." I apologize to you."

She tried so hard to comfort her, Xie Yi bent her lips, and lowered her head slightly disappointed, "I just feel sorry for you."

Using Xie Wen is for her sake, and she agrees.Now that Xie Wen is unreliable, many things have to be re-arranged.But Mengmeng, she was so looking forward to her being able to enter the palace and live in the Jiaofang Palace, but because of Xie Wen, she had to postpone it until an unknown day.

Chapter 120

For a person who is strict with himself, if he sees a mistake, it's okay if it has nothing to do with her. If it has something to do with her, she will blame herself.

How could Liu Zao see Xie Yi blame herself, she said, "Do you remember, I went to the Shenming Terrace to dismantle the words? It turned out that it would be auspicious to draw it slowly. If you want to draw it slowly, how can you go forward and go smoothly, thank you Wen's matter is also reasonable, if we entrust someone else instead of him, it may not be smooth. How can we blame you. "

She has never believed in gods. Every year, the grand Nuo at the end of the year is perfunctory in her heart.In fact, there are no emperors who believed in gods when they were young. Most of them became devout in their later years when they asked for something.Xie Yi silently held her hand, asking her to come up too.

Liu Zao removed his underwear, shoes and socks, and got under the blanket.The bed was warm, full of the smell of Xie Yi, the fragrance was light and almost non-existent, but Liu Zao felt that there was a touch of sweetness in it.

She moved closer and leaned on Xie Yi, Xie Yi said, "Sleep well."

Liu Zao relaxed a bit, and seeing that Xie Yi still hadn't opened her face, she also became depressed, "You and I can't say I'm sorry. If you really want to care about it, it should be me who is sorry for you." , if I hadn't insisted on it back then, you would be living a much happier life now."

Xie Yi frowned, "Mengmeng."

When Liu Zao looked at Xie Yi, her eyes were always filled with dependence and innocence, but there was only sadness left.She turned sideways, facing Xie Yi, and said, "So, don't blame yourself."

She is so sincere, how can Xie Yi continue to blame herself and make her uneasy.She nodded and took the initiative to talk to her about how to change the arrangement.

In fact, they all knew that Xie Wen might not be stubborn all the time, maybe after two days he would figure it out and come to the prime minister's mansion to plead guilty.But Xie Yi and Liu Zao didn't dare to take the risk, this is a big matter entrusting their wealth, life and the world.Xie Wen's disgust at the beginning was too strong, and they couldn't believe him anymore.

After talking about the middle of the night, it was almost dawn before they stopped. Fortunately, they rested and took a bath the next day. One of them didn't need to listen to the government, and the other didn't need to go to the Yamen, so they might as well get up later.

Liu Zao fell asleep leaning against Xie Yi.She was always at peace when she was by her side, but this time she had a nightmare.

She dreamed of the stunned description of the ministers when she announced her independence. Seeing the people in the world scolding without shame, and seeing the rebellion of princes and kings, it was as powerful and unstoppable as Emperor Jing's Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.She dispatched troops and generals with the intention of suppressing the rebellion, but found that all her relatives and relatives were deserted, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting for the princes and kings to enter the capital, and they couldn't wait to open the gate of Chang'an for them.

What's even more frightening is that she lost the world in the end, and Xie Xiang was raped together with her.

Liu Zao woke up in fright, the sky outside the window was dimmed, half dark and half bright.The dream was so real, she opened her eyes and stared at the beams, and after a while, she realized that it was just a dream.At this moment, she realized that her heart was twisted into a ball, as if the blood had been sucked dry, and she convulsed with pain.

Liu Zao panted, closed his eyes, and the dream scene appeared in his mind, the dark prison was horribly damp, the straw on the ground was moldy, the smell was unbearable, Xie Xiang was imprisoned in this filthy place At that time, people all over the world accused her of the emperor's immorality, and she was escorted to the Meridian Gate, where she was tortured by Ling Chi. She was forced to witness it with her own eyes, hurriedly wrote the abdication edict, and begged them to let her go.But as soon as she abdicated, she was useless, let alone save Xiang Xie, so she could only watch the sharp knife cut on Xiang Xie's body, watch her endure the pain, see her unable to bear it, howl in pain, and look at her prison clothes They were all stained red with blood, and gradually turned into a bloody mass of rotten flesh, which fell in a pool of blood and could not be freed for a long time.

This dream is too ominous.

In the winter, Liu Zao was dripping with cold sweat and his tongue was dry.

Xie Yi was still fast asleep.

Liu Zao turned to look at her, but did not calm down much.The pain in my heart still didn't subside, and it became more acute when I moved.But she still moved her body, carefully raised Xie Yi's arm around her body, and curled herself up in Xie Yi's arms.
