Tian's little cook

Chapter 1139
Before lunch, Lin Zhimo returned to Qianqing Palace, Huangfuchu had already returned, and Su Jixun was with him.

Su Jixun was left behind by him to eat, and when he saw Lin Zhimo, he hurriedly saluted: "My minister sees the empress."

"Master Su, please hurry up." Lin Zhimo said immediately.

Huangfu Chu smiled: "Is there still such a deep difference between the two of you?"

Although Su Jixun is already her adoptive father, Lin Zhimo still feels a little shy and embarrassed.

Su Jixun was obviously also very cramped, and his expression was very different from his usual calmness.

"Sit down." Huangfu saw their embarrassment at the beginning, and opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere: "When I was not enthroned, I often mentioned Mr. Su to Zhimo, and Zhimo has always admired him."

"The empress is absurd." Su Jixun lowered his head slightly.

"Master Su, you don't have to be polite." Huangfu Chu smiled again: "You are already Zhimo's adoptive father, and you and I are also a family, so there is no need to be polite."

With that said, Huangfu looked at Lin Zhimo for the first time.

Lin Zhimo understood what he meant, paused and spoke first: "Father."

After two short words slipped out from the tip of his tongue, Lin Zhimo's heart skipped a beat.

From modern times to here, this is the first time she has called out the word father.

In modern times, she is an orphan and has never met her parents. After time travel, she is also an orphan. It seems that the word father has never belonged to her.

Su Jixun didn't dare to be the queen, "It's enough for the queen to call the minister by name."

"Does the adoptive father not want to recognize me as a foster daughter?" Lin Zhimo joked.

"Wei Chen dare not."

"Father, you know my background. My father left very early, and I haven't called my father for a long time." Lin Zhimo's voice lowered when he said this.

Su Jixun looked up and saw that her eyes were faintly red, and felt a little distressed.

Huangfu Chu took Lin Zhimo's hand and squeezed it lightly: "Zhimo."

Lin Zhimo looked at him and smiled slightly, put away his emotions: "You guys should be hungry after talking for so long, let's eat first."

The three chatted while eating, and Su Jixun relaxed a lot.

He originally thought that he was just recruited by Huangfu Chu to be the queen's reliance, but seeing Lin Zhimo's attitude towards him, he suddenly felt that it was a very good thing to be her adoptive father.

Even though the emperor didn't need the empress dowager to pay his respects to the empress dowager every day, Huangfu had some errands to do in the afternoon, so he took the time to visit the empress dowager Wu.

Last time, in order to make Lin Zhimo the queen, the mother and son had some conflicts, and Huangfu wanted to ease the relationship between the two.

In his heart, he still respects Queen Mother Wu very much, and the relationship between mother and child will not be cut off at will.

After entering the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Empress Dowager Wu was very happy to see him, and asked Liu Ying to serve tea and snacks quickly.

The mother and son chatted for a while before Empress Dowager Wu changed the subject: "Chu'er, the Ai family heard that you want Su Jixun to be the queen's adoptive father. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Huangfu Chu put down his teacup and nodded, "It is true."

"Why are you doing this?" Empress Dowager Wu was puzzled and said, "The empress and Su Jixun are not related, and she is an empress, so why did she accept a minister as her adoptive father?"

The reason Huangfuchu naturally wouldn't say, "Mother's mother, Zhimo lost her parents since she was a child, and she has no relatives or friends in the capital. She recognizes her adoptive father, so she has an extra place to go, and she can go out of the palace to walk around in normal times."

Empress Dowager Wu was very dissatisfied after hearing this: "Since you are married, why do you still want to go around? It's not proper."

"This is what I mean." Huangfuchu explained: "Zhimo can naturally endure loneliness, but letting her stay in the palace all day makes me feel too uncomfortable."
