"Actually, I can't bear to live a comfortable life now. I eat well, wear warm clothes, have power, do whatever I want, and..." Xiao Chen said it sincerely.

There is also Murong Danqiu, the soul mate, Duanmu Nanqiao, the confidante, and...

"And Liu Ruyun's little hoof!" Murong Danqiu said sourly.

"I sometimes think, it would be really nice to live like this all my life." Xiao Chen sighed softly.

He really just wants to get drunk and lie on the lap of a beautiful woman, and does not want to wake up and take over the world.

So tired.

"Humph, you are really worthless. I think you will only be a little eunuch for the rest of your life!" Murong Danqiu hated him.

"I'm useless even if I want to. I see that the emperor is determined to get me out...Dan Qiu, do you think it would be okay if I went to Luomapo to accompany Mr. Murong?" Xiao Chen finally got to the point.

"I was about to tell you about this. My father wrote to me and told me that he wanted you to go. Haha, he actually thinks highly of you. He said you are a young hero and an unparalleled national scholar. I don't think you are like that. !" Murong Danqiu curled his lips as he spoke.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my husband is really discerning!" Xiao Chen praised loudly.

"The old man even told the Emperor that he wanted you to go by name." Murong Danqiu said again.

"Not really?" Xiao Chen was surprised and happy.

Then what Li Wanjiang meant just now was to let him go to Luo Mapo.

"Well, I guess the emperor will agree. With your current status, even a small place cannot accommodate you. The reason why my father is so anxious to report to the emperor to ask for you is because he is afraid that you will be wanted by Li Wanyun or other vassal generals. Let's go." Murong Danqiu said.

"Am I so popular now?" Xiao Chen smiled proudly.

"I'm really worried about you going anywhere else. You'll be fine with your father. He will definitely take good care of you. He will also allow you to perform some military exploits so that you can return to the palace with dignity in the future." Murong Danqiu had always been Silently making plans for Xiao Chen.

But she didn't know that if Xiao Chen left this time, he would never come back again.

"How about you talk to the emperor and go home to visit your relatives, and let's go together!" Xiao Chen suddenly had a whim.

"Haha, you are stupid. My hometown is not in Luomapo. Besides, I am a queen. How can I go to such a far place easily?" Murong Danqiu sighed leisurely.

"Hmph, I'm afraid Li Wanjiang doesn't dare to let you go back!" Xiao Chen felt slightly sad. After all, Dan Qiu was just a hostage.

If he is by her side, he can still take care of her. If he leaves, who will protect her in the future?

"It's good that you know! So when you go to Luomapo, be obedient and don't cause any trouble again." After a pause, he added, "You don't have to worry about me. I'm not in the palace for a day or two." Well, I wasn’t doing well when you weren’t here?”

"Well, I will take good care of my husband. As long as he is fine, you will be fine." Xiao Chen said.

"Xiao Chen, I want to ask you one more thing. Can you help me find out the whereabouts of that person outside?" The person Murong Danqiu was talking about was naturally Zhu Yuanqi, who was also Xiao Chen.

"If you are still thinking about him, he might have died a long time ago!" The jealousy in his heart was really inexplicable.

"You want to see a person alive, but you want to see a corpse when you die... I always feel that he is not dead, and he seems to be by my side all the time. Do you think it's strange?" As a woman, Murong Danqiu's intuition is quite amazing.

"The ghost is still lingering. It is obvious that he is dead. Even if he is not dead, I will kill him if I find him!" Xiao Chen was so jealous that he had the idea of ​​​​suicide.

Xiao Chen undeniably likes Murong Danqiu, and has already acquiesced in her being his first wife despite his elusive dream.

Is it reasonable that he likes her so much, but he cares about others?

Let me ask you what Zhu Yuanqi is better than me!

"He has no grievances against you, why did you kill him?" Of course Murong Danqiu knew why, but he also believed that if Xiao Chen really found Zhu Yuanqi, he would definitely not kill him, and would try his best to bring him to justice. Bring it to yourself.

This trust in Xiao Chen can also be said to be very amazing.

This is the cuteness of Xiao Chen and the cuteness of Murong Danqiu.

That's why they appreciate each other.

But Xiao Chen's cuteness goes far beyond that, he can even cook.

With the errands done, Xiao Chen also had some free time.

Li Wanjiang gave him some fat sheep a few days ago, didn't he?

Xiao Chen decided to personally cook a mutton dinner for Murong Danqiu.

The orderer set up a stove in the courtyard of Kunning Palace and asked a few young eunuchs to cut the lamb hind legs into small pieces, thread them with skewers, and sprinkle some salt to marinate them for a while.

He also smeared the two lamb front legs with his own secret sauce, wrapped them in a few large lotus leaves and tied them tightly, wrapped the outside with a layer of mud, and threw them directly into the charcoal fire to stew.

I chopped a fan of mutton chops, put them in a large casserole, blanched them in water, skimmed off the foam, and cut the yellow things into small pieces and threw them in.

"What is this?" Murong Danqiu looked at it curiously. It looked like a Buddha's hand, but there was only one. If it was a loofah, it was yellow.

"This is called radish, carrot." Xiao Chen explained, "Eat radish in autumn and ginger in summer. These are all supplements according to the solar terms."

Any vegetables with the word 'Hu' or 'foreign' in front of them must be imported, such as onions, peppers...

Carrots are not yet a vegetable in China. He discovered this on Wilson's ship because carrots contain carotene and various vitamins, which are not only rich in nutrients but can also prevent night blindness.

Therefore, ocean-going sailors like Wilson carried a large amount of carrots every time they sailed, and even got a small piece of land on the ship to grow them.

Because there are no refrigerators now, the meat and vegetables on the ship cannot be preserved at all. In order to allow the crew to eat fresh food, many large ocean-going ships will grow vegetables and breed animals.

Why do you think there are chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, and even vegetables and rice on those desert islands in the ocean? These sailors brought them there.

Xiao Chen brought back not only carrots, but also pepper, chili pepper, cumin, onions... these things that Da Zhou didn't have.

No wonder Murong Danqiu was curious.

The mutton and carrots were almost simmered, so Xiao Chen started to add the seasonings, a little salt, a little pepper, and finally a little MSG powder he prepared himself...

Finally, sprinkle some chopped coriander, which is actually coriander.

However, coriander has been around in China for a long time, but because its taste is a bit strange, few people eat it.

The meat skewers were grilled squeaking and sizzling with oil. When it was almost cooked, Xiao Chen sprinkled the chili powder and cumin on top, and a strange pungent aroma instantly filled the entire harem courtyard.

The first one to smell the smell was Liu Ruyun, followed closely by Duanmu Nanqiao, then Concubine Liang, Zhang Juer...

They were all respectable people in the harem and knew the queen well, so they dared to come over. The other concubines could only watch from a distance with drooling eyes, wondering what the queen was up to.

What a glutton!
