After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

"Your Majesty, have you caught a cold? I'm going to send Chief Lin to ask for a safe pulse."

When Eunuch Ma saw that the emperor had not put down his hand when he picked up the handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose for a long time, he quickly bowed and asked.

Xiao Jingzhao pressed his nose and said, "No, I'm in good health."

Eunuch Ma knew he couldn't resist the emperor, so he picked up a spoon and filled a bowl of venison soup and handed it to him, "The emperor has an extra bowl. Chief Lin said that this venison is a great tonic and is most suitable for consumption in this season."

Deer are full of treasures, and deer meat is nothing compared to deer blood. Xiao Jingzhao also ate it when he was in the military camp.

He looked at the exquisite soup basin, "There was also venison in the soup a few days ago?"

Eunuch Ma glanced at the soup basin and then quietly glanced at the emperor's expressionless face.

He asked tentatively: "Doesn't the Emperor like venison?"

Seeing Xiao Jingzhao shaking his head, Eunuch Ma immediately relaxed and said bluntly: "There was no venison in the nourishing soup a few days ago. It was stewed by local turtles."

Huangjing Huang has the functions of replenishing vitality, nourishing the heart and calming the mind, strengthening the spleen and kidneys. The emperor worked hard day and night, and it can be said that the president of the hospital Lin has good intentions.

"Ahem..."

Xiao Jingzhao quickly swallowed the soup in his mouth and coughed violently.

Is he that weak? He actually stewed tonic for him in different ways.

No wonder I have had so many erotic dreams at night recently.

Xiao Jingzhao stopped coughing and said in a deep voice: "Starting from tomorrow, no more tonic soup will appear on my table. If you see it again, I will ask you for help!"

Eunuch Ma: "..."

The soup offended someone, weren't you drinking well just a moment ago? I drank two bowls of the local turtle stew that day.

"Do you understand? No more soup from tomorrow. I will just drink tea after dinner."

Eunuch Ma looked embarrassed. The emperor's royal meal was jointly decided by the Royal Hospital and the royal chef. The soup was withdrawn at the drop of a hat. How was he going to spread the word?

How dare he not obey the emperor's words? After a moment of silence, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I have taken note of it. I will go and make a pot of Yunwu Maojian for the emperor."

"etc!"

Eunuch Ma quickly stopped and said, "Your Majesty, if you have any other instructions, please listen."

Xiao Jingzhao looked out the window. The snow still hanging on the treetops was completely white.

"Can the deputy commander come here today?"

Eunuch Ma bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the deputy commander is still shoveling the snow outside at this time. The snow is too thick and the broom can no longer sweep it."

Xiao Jingzhao glanced at the untouched dishes on the opposite side and said, "Pass him into the palace."

Eunuch Ma took the order and left. A moment later, Xiang Yang came in with his eyelids drooping.

"Meet the Emperor!"

"You are honest. It's already noon and you are still shoveling snow. Come over and have dinner together."

"Your Majesty, I don't dare, this is against the rules." Xiang Yang raised his eyes and glanced at the imperial meal. The dishes on the table were exquisite and attractive. Except for the few dishes in front of the Emperor, the rest seemed to have been untouched.

The commander and deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei have an unusual relationship with the emperor, and this is not the first time they have been given royal meals.

Eunuch Ma understood and agreed: "It is better for the deputy commander to follow the holy will, otherwise it will be regarded as rebellion and disrespect."

"I'm going to change the pot of hot tea." Eunuch Ma waved his hand, and the maid serving in the palace bowed and left.

There was no one else in the hall, so Xiang Yang raised his head and grinned and said, "Thank you, Master, for the meal. I'm really hungry right now.

Xiao Jingzhao pointed to the opposite side, "Sit down and eat slowly. Drink the soup first. It's a good thing. You'll feel warm after drinking it."

Xiang Yang had eaten and slept with his master in the military camp before, but now that he was asked to eat at the same table as his master, he was still a little uncomfortable.

On the other side of the royal study is the desk, and there is no other desk in the room.

Under Xiao Jingzhao's gaze, he could only walk to the other side and sit down.

He didn't dare to sit full of people like he did in the military camp, half of his butt hanging on the edge of the chair.

"It is better to obey orders than to be respectful, and my subordinates will not be polite."

The imperial meal was so fragrant that the master had already put down his chopsticks.

Xiang Yang obeyed the holy will, took the soup basin, filled a bowl of soup and drank it all in one gulp.

After a bowl of hot soup, my whole body feels much warmer.

Then he took another bowl of venison and ate it.

Xiao Jingzhao: "..." This man is really hungry.

Fragrant, this meat is really fragrant. It's a royal meal. The master asked him to shovel snow every day. Unfortunately, the sky is clear today and it won't snow tonight.

There was a storm, and soon the dishes on the table were all gone, and the food and the nourishing soup were swept away by Xiang Yang.

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Xiang Yang leaned on his stomach and said, "Master, there is still a small section of the palace road outside that has not been cleared of snow. I will go ahead and shovel it now."

Xiao Jingzhao waved his hand, "Stop shoveling, it will melt in two days."

Xiang Yang: "..." I dare say that his work today was in vain. Why didn't the emperor tell him earlier?

…

In the Su Mansion, Lin Xianzhi left in a hurry after finishing his meal.

Su Jin and Su Nan saw him out of the palace gate and saw Lin Xianzhi walking quickly towards the palace gate.

Su Nan clicked his tongue and said, "Brother Lin is such a good official. He puts down the bowl and goes to the palace to do official business. If we have more ministers like this in Wanling, why should the prosperous dynasty be unhappy?"

"No, he is in charge of Wanling Kingdom's money bag, so he naturally has greater responsibilities than others. Nan Nan, you study hard and you can share the emperor's worries in the future." Su Jin said, patting his younger brother on the shoulder.

Su Nan shook his head like a rattle, "I can't do it. Brother, you don't know. There are so many talented people in the capital. Just those people in Class A are very knowledgeable and well-spoken. If I fail the exam in the future, Just go into business.”

……

In the palace.

Xiao Jingzhao wanted to take a walk to digest his food after dinner. Thinking about something, he walked aimlessly in the imperial garden.

The snow under his feet made a "crunching" sound, and the afternoon sun poured down through the thick clouds.

The remaining snowflakes on the branches shone brightly, and the plum blossoms shivered in the cold wind.

The sun shone on his body without any warmth.

The palace wall in the distance seemed to be piled with a thick layer of cotton, dazzlingly white.

A gust of wind blew, and Eunuch Ma shrank his neck.

It is said that snow is not cold, but melting snow is cold. The emperor's dragon body is important.

Seeing that the emperor continued to move forward, he boldly stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Your Majesty, the accumulated snow makes you cold, it is better to go back to the palace to rest."

Xiao Jingzhao stopped and nodded slightly, and Eunuch Ma immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he sat down in the imperial study, he heard a report from outside the door:

"Mr. Lin, the acting Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, wants to see you!"

"Come in."

The voice was as magnetic as ever.

Eunuch Ma Xiao Jingzhao ordered: "Mr. Lin has worked hard these days, bring a pot of good tea quickly."

After Lin Xiangzhi came in, he lifted his robe and knelt down with a "thump".

"Your Highness."

"Stand up, get up quickly, what's wrong with you today? You knelt down before I could even say you're excused?" Xiao Jingzhao glanced at Lin Xiangzhi on the ground.

"If the emperor doesn't agree to one thing from me, I won't get up."

"What can you do?" Xiao Jingzhao asked, trying hard to hold back his smile when he saw Lin Xiangzhi's aggrieved look.
