To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 216 Unforgettable

   Governor Luo found Luo Sheng with a serious expression.

   "The emperor asked to eat the beggar's elbow made by Xiu Gu?"

   "Yes." Governor Luo felt a little guilty when facing his daughter's bright eyes.

  If the emperor really wants Xiu Gu to go, he can't help Sheng'er get it back.

"knew."

  Seeing that Luo Sheng's reaction was flat, Governor Luo became even more guilty.

  Sheng'er hasn't thought of it yet, has she?

   Struggling between reminding and not reminding, Governor Luo still chose to remain silent.

  Procrastinate as long as you can, and let’s talk if you can’t.

  When he caught a glimpse of the young man in scarlet clothes walking this way, Governor Luo immediately lost his temper.

  He came as soon as it was time to eat, more punctual and diligent than his father.

  If King Kaiyang hadn’t hunted a wild boar and asked Xiu Gu to be a beggar, how could Xiu Gu’s reputation have reached the emperor’s ears.

   This crisis was caused by King Kaiyang!

  Walking up, Wei Han keenly sensed that today's Governor Luo was a bit murderous.

   Did he offend Governor Luo?

   Wei Han thought about it seriously.

No.

   Wei Han walked over calmly, and greeted politely: "The governor came quite early today."

   Governor Luo's nose almost crooked in anger.

  King Kaiyang means that it is abnormal for him to come early as a father?

  However, although you are angry in your heart, you must keep a smile on your face.

   "Today is for business."

   Wei Han looked at Governor Luo with some surprise.

   It turns out that in Governor Luo's mind, eating is not a serious matter?

  Luo Dadu was delayed.

  King Kaiyang's eyes made people inexplicably angry.

  Luo Dadu cleared his throat: "The emperor wants to taste the beggar's elbow."

   Wei Han's heart moved, and he immediately glanced at Luo Sheng.

  The girl did not show any abnormality, and calmly handed a piece of beggar's elbow wrapped in mud to Governor Luo: "It just happened to be ready, father will send it to the emperor."

  The mud shell is still hot, and it is cushioned by several layers of lotus leaves.

   Dudu Luo held it in his hand, feeling hot, and his heart fluttered.

  After the emperor eats it, will he ask him to go there?

  Governor Luo walked away with heavy steps.

  Luo Sheng ignored the young man beside him, and gently stirred the tumbling soup with a long-handled wooden spoon.

   Today Xiaoqi led Luo Chen to the forest to pick a lot of mushrooms, and it happened to be a pot of pork bone mushroom soup.

   There is no need to add too much seasoning to a pot of white soup. It is delicious enough to sprinkle a handful of green wild onions when it is cooked.

   "Aren't you worried?" The man said in a low voice.

  Luo Sheng looked at him sideways: "What are you worried about?"

  The eyes are calm and indifferent, as if they don't know anything about everything, or they know it well.

   Wei Han was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "I'm going to be a little worried."

   That time, King Pingnan was obsessed with eating pork chops cooked by Miss Luo, and was shot by an arrow by Miss Luo.

   Now, the emperor is interested in the beggar's elbow made by Miss Luo—it's hard to think about it.

  Luo Sheng filled a bowl of soup and handed it over: "My lord, drink the soup."

  She doesn't need others to worry about her, as long as others don't ruin her business.

  Speaking of which, King Kaiyang's position is a bit strange...

  Luo Sheng was so absorbed in his thoughts that he forgot to let go of the hand holding the bowl.

   Wei Han tried but couldn't catch it, so he also held the bowl and looked at her.

  The two are holding the same bowl, the scene is quite funny.

   "You... don't you think it's hot?" Luo Chen, who went to get some bird eggs and came back, looked at the scene and couldn't bear it.

  Luo Sheng came back to his senses, calmly let go of his hands, and raised his lips to smile at the sullen young man: "Did you get the bird eggs?"

   "It's been a lot." Xiaoqi said excitedly.

  Luo Chen glanced at him, walked quickly to Luo Sheng, and handed over a small bamboo basket covered with thick grass leaves.

   There are dozens of bird eggs in the bamboo basket, and there are still clear drops of water hanging on the eggs.

   "Washed?"

   "Yes." Luo Chen reluctantly responded, and glanced at the black-faced boy, "Xiao Qi said that it can be cooked and eaten directly after washing it."

   He figured it out.

  Why do you compare your own shortcomings to others' strengths? Hei boy grew up in the mountains, so it's normal for him to be better than him.

  He can still read.

  The boy who found his balance was less afraid of the brat who robbed his sister.

  He is so good, Luo Sheng is not blind.

  Luo Sheng smiled gratifiedly when he saw that the relationship between the two teenagers had improved.

  Luo Dadu held the beggar's elbow and came outside the tent of Yong'an Emperor Jin.

   "Your Majesty, Governor Luo has arrived."

  Emperor Yong'an nodded slightly.

   "My minister has seen the emperor."

  Emperor Yong'an glanced at the dark thing in the hands of Chief Governor Luo, and asked curiously, "What is that in the hands of Chief Governor Luo?"

   "Reporting to the emperor, this is the beggar's elbow."

  Emperor Yong'an glanced at Zhou Shan.

  Zhou Shan hurriedly asked on behalf of Emperor Yong'an: "Great Governor, how should I eat this squid elbow?"

   "Need to break the outer mud shell."

  Governor Luo Dadu took the hammer from the servant, knocked open the mud shell and uncovered the lotus clothes, and a strange fragrance wafted out immediately.

   Zhou Shan took the beggar's elbow, first tested the poison with a silver needle, and then cut off a piece with a knife to try it.

  After eating a thin piece of elbow meat, Zhou Shan's eyes straightened.

   This is too delicious, how can it be called Huacuozi!

   I couldn't help it for a while, and tasted another slice.

  Emperor Yong'an took a deep look at Zhou Shan.

   Zhou Shan looked calm and honest.

   With such a big elbow, how can you only eat such a small piece to test the poison?

  For the safety of the emperor, he must eat more.

  If it is poisonous, let him be poisoned to death, and it can be regarded as being loyal to the king.

   After a while, Zhou Shan presented the cut elbow to Emperor Yongan: "Please taste it, Your Majesty."

  Emperor Yong'an raised his chopsticks and took a bite, nodded slightly: "It tastes really good. Governor Luo, is this made by the cook brought by Ling Ai?"

   Governor Luo suddenly raised his heart: "Exactly."

   "Reward."

  Hearing Emperor Yong'an spit out this word, Governor Luo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

   It seems that the daughter's cook is temporarily saved.

   Walking out of the golden tent, Governor Luo let out a foul breath.

  Only the servants and maidservants left in the golden tent, Emperor Yong'an ate another piece of elbow meat, and ordered Zhou Shan: "Go and invite the imperial concubine to come over."

  Zhou Shan took the order to pass the message to the next-door golden tent.

   "The emperor invited me to eat elbow meat?" Hearing Zhou Shan Daoming's intention, Xiao Guifei had a strange expression.

   "My lady, please move, the emperor is still waiting for you."

  Concubine Xiao Gui went to Emperor Yong'an with curiosity.

  After entering the golden tent, I smelled a mouth-watering fragrance.

   "My concubine is here." Emperor Yong'an, who always had a serious face when facing the ministers, showed a slight smile, "My concubine, try this beggar's elbow."

  Concubine Xiao Gui sat down next to Emperor Yong'an with her hands cleared, took the silver chopsticks handed over by the palace maid, and ate a piece of elbow meat.

   "How?" Emperor Yong'an asked with some expectation.

   After a while, Concubine Xiao nodded: "It's delicious, I wonder which royal chef made it?"

   This dish reminded her of her childhood.

  At that time, she was treated harshly by her aunt. At the worst time, she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and forbidden to eat and drink.

  Her maid secretly brought a fat chicken wrapped in mud.

  Many years have passed, and she has never forgotten the smell after knocking the mud open.

  Her maid was beaten to death by her aunt.
