After discovering that the emperor is a woman

"How is it?" Liu Jiuning shook the emperor's arm expectantly, her eyes sparkled, her chin was raised, and she waited triumphantly for praise.

It has been a long time since the emperor spoke.

She couldn't wait any longer, and looked into the room, feeling that something was still missing.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Liu Jiuning clapped her hands violently, turned around and saw that the wooden door of the palace was still wide open, facing the setting sun that was about to set, so she hurriedly ran to close the door.

Soon, the setting sun was completely blocked outside the thick wooden door.

All that was left in the room were the colorful lanterns and the gemstones that shone brightly under the light, and it suddenly seemed like a dream.

It has a sense of the atmosphere of the bar shining with lights in the TV series in the previous life.

Even if there is no one in the house, it is very lively.

Of course, this atmosphere must be much more advanced than the so-called lanterns. After all, gems are made of real gold and silver, and those lifelike lanterns that occasionally rotate and project are also carefully crafted by craftsmen!

Thinking of this, Liu Jiuning raised her hand with a smile and waved the lanterns all over the room, and said, "Look, aren't these lanterns and gemstone curtains so beautiful? I arranged them by myself after a thousand choices!"

Hearing this, Li Nanchu followed the little queen's words and looked at the lamps and the strings of jewel curtains in the room.

Individually, it is indeed very good, beautiful and aura.

However, they are so crowded and irregularly piled together, and the colors of the lanterns and gemstones are too colorful, and there are quite a few quite strong red and green colors.

As a result, the reflected candlelight is either red or green, which is quite gloomy.

And the table is full of simply processed red and white meat slices and sliced ​​internal organs, the red and white boiling water in the center of the table, and the two long red candles on the table...

a time.

I don't know whether it should be said to be similar to sacrifices, or to say that it is like a pan of oil in the [-]th hell.

This is the mind of thousands of choices.

……

Li Nanchu really felt it. After all, apart from his own little queen, no one in the world could make such an arrangement.

Thinking of this, she slowly said, "It's very unique."

Apart from uniqueness, I really can't find any other words that can be praised sincerely.

"That's not true! Of course it's unique, and it can even be said to be unique. These are all dug out of my dowry!"

As he talked, Liu Jiuning saw the emperor's eyes kept turning around the lanterns and gems around him, so he didn't pay much attention to the mandarin duck pot.

Quickly said: "Your Majesty has been busy all day, and he must be hungry too. Come on, sit down quickly, and look at the ingredients I specially ordered the imperial dining room to keep, they are fresh..."

Hearing this, Li Nanchu's eyelids twitched immediately, fearing that the little queen would be praised by her again, he glanced at the soy sauce, vinegar, oil, salt and other seasonings on the table, and interrupted: "It's really fresh, look at this posture , but Jiuer wants to cook here? Then I have to try it out!"

Although I don't know what can be cooked on the spot in a red and white pot full of hot oil and firewood underneath.

But since the little queen can show off specially today, she is very confident when she thinks about it, maybe she won't go anywhere.

It's just not so good...

After all, it was a waste of time to prepare, and she couldn't spoil the other party's interest.

"of course not!"

Liu Jiuning bought a pass, smiled brightly at the emperor, pulled the emperor to the table, and sat down with his shoulders pressed.

Then he sat down too.

She smiled and motioned the emperor to look at the big mandarin duck iron pot, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look at this pot, isn't it big and round? Take a closer look, what do you think it looks like!"

Hearing this, Li Nanchu pondered for a moment.

Seeing the growing anticipation on the little queen's face, she pondered for a long time before trying to answer: "Somewhat similar to the Taiji diagram?"

When Liu Jiuning heard this, she was not very good at answering. She looked at the pot with a fast-curved iron plate in the middle, and it was indeed no different from the Tai Chi diagram.

……

Fortunately, I can speak eloquently!

She smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what you look like, the important thing is that when the red and white soup falls into the pot, you can see if they are in pairs like the mandarin ducks!"

Li Nanchu finally knew what the little queen was thinking, she smiled, and echoed: "It is extremely, not only in pairs as Jiu'er said, but also like Tai Chi yin and yang fish, chasing and spinning head to tail, inseparable."

Hearing this, Liu Jiuning's eyes lit up, and she nodded her head like pounding garlic.

As expected of a cultural person, these words perfectly covered up her little mistake just now!Not only in pairs, but also inseparable, which is really a good meaning.

Seeing that the emperor is so optimistic about this pot.

She hurriedly said: "Don't just look at the pot, let's come and try how it tastes in this mandarin duck pot!"

The voice fell.

Liu Jiuning moved all the seasonings between her and the emperor one by one. Knowing that the other party had never eaten hot pot, she quickly began to introduce them.

How to season and how to blanch the meat and how to eat it.

Seeing the emperor holding the special hot pot chopsticks, he hesitated for a long time before picking up a piece of green vegetables slowly.

She quickly picked up a slice of thinly sliced ​​fat beef, and said while boiling it: "Of course you must eat meat first when eating this mandarin duck pot. Your Majesty, please don't be polite to me. Let me boil it for you? Eat well." Is it spicy? I like the spicy pot in Yuanyang pot the most. It tastes so good that even gods have to bow their heads. And this pot is not spicy, so I put a little chili pepper in it, and it looks red..."

Before Li Nanchu could reply, he saw the little queen rolling the piece of red and white meat in the water for two sentences, then scooped it up, wrapped it in some sauce, and handed it to her bowl.

He raised his eyes and met the shining eyes of the little queen.

She picked up the piece of meat that was full of red oil, and no one knew whether it was cooked or not, and put it in her mouth.

Then he choked and coughed several times.

"Is it too spicy?" Liu Jiuning frowned. Worried, she quickly poured a cup of tea at just the right temperature and handed it to the emperor.

Seeing the emperor waving his hands again and again, he insisted on eating the piece of meat.

Then he said: "If you can't eat spicy food, don't force it. There is also a soup with mushrooms in clear soup, which should suit your taste."

"I...cough cough, I can do it, but it's the first time I tasted such a strong taste, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Li Nanchu drank the tea handed by the little queen in one gulp.

After his throat became much more comfortable, he smiled and said, "It's really good, it's very domineering, it's like blowing up fireworks on the tip of my tongue."

"nice! You love it!"

Liu Jiuning saw that the emperor really didn't look like he was being forced, and the smile on his face became wider. She changed another fish fillet and scalded it in the mushroom soup pot.

After the fish fillet is cooked, dip some soy sauce in the spoon, add onion and garlic, some pickled sauerkraut, and a few crispy peanuts, and pass the spoon to the emperor's mouth.

He smiled and said: "This way of eating is also very good. It was when I was in elementary school... When I was studying ethnology when I was young, I saw the way of eating fish in the south from a certain travel book."

In fact, this is how a Cantonese-speaking friend taught her to eat in her previous life.

Almost talked too fast and slipped the tongue.

"The mushroom soup in this clear soup pot is also very good, you should try it too, and this..."

Liu Jiuning was like a salesman, recommending one after another to the emperor. She only permed a few slices at the beginning, and the rest was just moving her mouth, letting the emperor do it by himself.

After all, one of the joys of hot pot is to have enough food and clothing by doing it yourself.

After the whole meal, she could see the emperor's preferences, like those animal offal, let him boast, and the other party didn't even taste a piece.

But when they ate together before, they had seen each other eat these things.

Could it be that you were frightened by the original and most authentic appearance of the ingredients?

Liu Jiuning didn't think too much about it. In her opinion, this hot pot meal was very enjoyable, and the emperor was not stingy with his compliments, repeatedly saying that the meal was 'ingenious' and 'amazing'.

After finishing the meal.

After washing their hands with warm water, they rinsed their mouths with green tea.

After doing this, the hidden guard who came and went without a trace had already cleaned up the hot pot. If it wasn't for the lingering hot pot smell in the room, he wouldn't have eaten it here meal.

Liu Jiuning didn't pay much attention to these things. She took the emperor to admire the hanging lanterns when she was full. She could tell the reason for each of them, and how she got them through fighting wits and courage. Delicate lantern.

Make a big fuss.

I don't know how long it has been since she introduced almost all the lamps in the room, except for the largest lotus flower lamp in the middle.

She dragged the emperor to the lantern that was still a bud emitting a faint pink light, picked up a delicately braided rope strung with woodcarved lotus flowers, and handed it to the emperor.

He said with a smile: "You talk about it, there is a surprise!"

Li Nanchu smiled, followed the little queen's wishes, and gently tugged the rope.

I saw the tightly-wrapped petals in front of me slowly opening one by one, and the original faint pink light gradually became richer and redder.

The lotus lantern rotates slowly.

In the middle, a goddess holding a candle dances quietly among the petals, flying higher and higher.

At the highest point, the petals are fully opened, and countless lotus lanterns of different styles and colors are squeezed on the petals, like clusters of blooming flowers.

"Your Majesty, would you like to accompany Jiu'er to set off lanterns?" Liu Jiuning took the emperor's arm and pressed it against the emperor's body, talking coquettishly and softly.

The emperor who grew up in the deep palace didn't know if he let off the lantern.

According to the iceberg-like aloof appearance of the other party when they first met, he must have disdain those lively lantern festivals, and because of his status, he might not have anyone to accompany him.

That being the case, she accompanied the emperor and put on a festive lantern in a lively manner.

Make up for all the loneliness in previous birthdays or festivals!

Seeing this, Li Nanchu was slightly stunned, and finally understood why the room was full of lanterns, and remembered that the little queen had told her about every lantern festival in detail just now, and said a lot of words, "If Your Majesty is by my side, wait." '

My heart is slightly hot.

She smiled and parted the broken hair for the little queen.

Replied: "Okay, Jiu'er will accompany me to set off the lanterns."

Hearing this, Liu Jiuning understood that the other party already knew her intentions, tilted her head and smiled, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed the emperor's face.

Subsequently.

As if nothing had happened, he pulled people up and walked outside the house.

Just opened the door.

I saw a big fat cat sitting at the door with a melancholy face.

Li Nu didn't make a sound for a while, and stared straight at them with those round eyes, as if accusing, as if questioning, and more as if he was sad.

……

Liu Jiuning and Li Nanchu just remembered that such a fat cat was missing during dinner tonight.

No wonder the atmosphere in this two-person world is so good.

It turned out that there was no third living creature at all!
