Zhao Yao subconsciously hugged Orchid and ran, running for a long way before stopping.
"Your Highness, why are you running?"
"I heard someone yelling and ran away in a hurry."
"You are His Highness. Go to the orchid garden of Lanyuan Pavilion to pick an orchid. Who dares to say anything like you?"
Zhao Yao: "Don't I have a guilty conscience?" He said, looking down at the orchid in his arms, "This flower smells so good."
The colleagues on the side heard it and found that it was true.
"Your Highness, the fragrance of this orchid is different."
Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "It's a bit like Lengxiang."
Tongxi didn't understand this, "This orchid looks quite cute, the flowers are small."
"I don't know if it tastes good or not." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he picked off a flower and ate it in one bite.
"Your Highness, you really eat it." Tong Xi wondered whether he could stop him, and watched Zhao Yao eat an orchid.
"It tastes delicious, a little sweet, and quite delicious." Zhao Yao picked another one and ate it.
If He Xiang saw Zhao Yao eating his silver-bordered tribute, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Zhao Yao picked another one and handed it to Tong Xi: "You should try it too."
"Your Highness, does your stomach hurt after eating?"
"Orchids are not poisonous and won't hurt your stomach."
After Tongxi heard this, he felt relieved and dared to eat orchids.
"Your Highness, these orchids smell so good." He felt that the scent of orchids was in his mouth.
"I just said orchids must be delicious." Orchids look similar to leeks. Leeks are delicious, so there's no way that orchids aren't delicious. He picked another leaf and ate it. It was crunchy and sweet.
The master and the servant ate orchids while walking.
Soon we returned to Kunde Hall.
Zhao Yao immediately offered his treasure to Liang Zhaoyi to taste the orchid he brought back.
When Liang Zhaoyi saw clearly the orchid in Zhao Yao's arms, she was stunned.
"Concubine, what's wrong with you? Can't you eat this orchid?" Zhao Yao said, "I ate it, it was delicious, and my stomach doesn't hurt."
Liang Zhaoyi's body swayed, and then she put her hand on her forehead with a very sad expression.
"Yao Yao, where did your orchid come from?"
"I picked it up from the orchid garden of Lanyuan Pavilion." Zhao Yao said with a smile, "I think the orchids look like leeks, and I just want to try whether the orchids are delicious."
Liang Zhaoyi: "..."
Zhao Yao saw something was wrong with Liang Zhaoyi's expression, thought for a moment and said, "Concubine, is there something wrong with this orchid?"
"This orchid is called Yinbian Dagong. It is a tribute orchid. There should not be many in the palace." Although Liang Zhaoyi did not love orchids as much as He Xiang, but seeing such a precious orchid being ruined by her son, her hands suddenly felt itchy. "This pot of orchids in your arms is worth a thousand gold."
Zhao Yao: "!!!!!!"
Tongxi: Is it too late for me to spit out the orchid I just ate?
Liang Zhaoyi reached out and poked Zhao Yao's forehead, and said funny and angrily: "Eating orchids, you are really..."
"Mother, are you right? This pot of orchid is worth a thousand gold?" Zhao Yao didn't believe it. "I ate it and thought its texture and taste were not worth a thousand gold."
Liang Zhaoyi: "..."
In the front, there is a cow chewing peonies, and in the back, her son is eating raw orchids.
"Orchids are for appreciation, not for eating." Liang Zhaoyi pinched her son's face angrily, "You even eat orchids, you little greedy cat."
"I'm just curious." Zhao Yao raised the orchid in his arms and looked left and right. He really didn't see anything special about this orchid. "Mother, is it really worth a thousand gold?"
"It's absolutely true." Liang Zhaoyi said helplessly, "This silver-bordered tribute has always been a tribute. It is basically non-existent among the people."
Zhao Yao: "What is there to pay tribute to?"
"You..." Liang Zhaoyi introduced Yinbian Dagong to Zhao Yao in detail.
"Fortunately, I only ate a few flowers and didn't eat them all. They can still grow flowers." Zhao Yao quickly put down the orchid in his hand, "This orchid is so fragrant."
"The most unique thing about it is its fragrance."
"I don't know if it's good to eat it stir-fried..."
Seeing that her son was still thinking about eating, Liang Zhaoyi stretched out her hand and tugged Zhao Yao's little ears: "You still want to fry it."
"Mother, please spare your life..."
As soon as Emperor Zhou Wu entered the Kunde Hall, he heard Zhao Yao's cry for mercy, and walked in with a smile: "Bad boy, what bad thing did you do to make your mother and concubine angry?"
Liang Zhaoyi and Zhao Yao saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou.
As soon as Emperor Wu of Zhou sat down, he noticed the orchids placed on the table nearby. He was surprised and said: "Isn't this Yinbian Dagong? Where did it come from?"
Liang Zhaoyi didn't like orchids very much, and there were no orchids in Kunde Hall. Emperor Wu of Zhou did not reward her with orchids. Now he saw a silver-rimmed pot of tribute in Kunde Hall, which surprised him.
"Yao Yao brought it back from Lan Yuan Pavilion."
"Lanyuan Pavilion?" Emperor Zhou Wu looked at Zhao Yao in surprise, "What are you doing in Lanyuan Pavilion, brat?"
Zhao Yao pointed to the silver-bordered Dagon and replied honestly: "Pick orchids."
"Pick?" Emperor Wu of Zhou was shocked by Zhao Yao's word "pick", "What are you doing picking orchids?"
Zhao Yao hesitated and said, "Eat."
Emperor Wu of Zhou was shocked: "Eat?"
Sun Kui: "..."
Liang Zhaoyi said with some difficulty: "He has already eaten several flowers."
Emperor Wu of Zhou: "..."
Sun Kui: "..."
"Why do you want to eat orchids?" This was the first time Emperor Wu of Zhou heard of someone eating orchids.
"curious."
"curious?"
"My son thinks orchids look very similar to leeks and wants to know if orchids are as delicious as leeks."
Orchids look like leeks?
Where does it look like?
Emperor Wu of Zhou's mouth twitched slightly and said, "Is it delicious?"
"It's okay. I wonder if it will taste as good as leeks when fried."
When Liang Zhaoyi saw that her son was still thinking about frying and eating Yinbian Dagong, she felt dumbfounded.
Sun Kui suddenly thought of something and reminded Emperor Zhou Wu: "I remember He Xiang planted the orchids in Lanyuan Pavilion, He Xiang begged you to give me this silver-rimmed Dagong pot, and He Xiang liked this silver-edged Dagong pot very much. "
Zhao Yao: "..." What was that shout he heard in Lanyuan Pavilion before?
Emperor Wu of Zhou imagined He Xiang's expression when he learned that his precious silver-rimmed Dagon had been eaten by Xiao Shi. He couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing: "Hahahaha..."
Zhao Yao looked at the laughing Emperor Wu of Zhou and muttered in his heart: What's so funny?
Liang Zhaoyi asked nervously: "Is He Xiang's health okay?" She was really worried that He Xiang would faint from anger if he knew that his precious silver-rimmed Dagon had been eaten by Yao Yao.
Zhao Yao said: "I hear He Xiang's voice is loud and he should be in good health."
"Hahahahaha..." Emperor Zhou Wu was almost laughed to death by Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao looked at Emperor Zhou Wu who was laughing crazily, and then at Liang Zhaoyi.
Mother, what are you laughing at?
Liang Zhaoyi: Laughing at you.
Zhao Yao: Why are you laughing at me?
"I just ate a few flowers. The flowers will grow back after a while." Zhao Yao defended himself briefly.
Emperor Wu of Zhou stretched out his hand and pinched Zhao Yao's face, and scolded him with a smile: "Are you a pig? You even eat orchids."
"Father, pigs don't eat orchids."
Emperor Zhou Wu twisted Zhao Yao's little mouth and said, "Aren't you just a pig?"
Zhao Yao complained in his heart: If I were a pig, father, you would also be a pig.
"Sun Kui, send this silver-rimmed tribute to He Xiang, otherwise He Xiang will be seriously ill."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yao reluctantly watched Sun Kui take away Yinbian Dagong. He also wanted to try frying it, maybe it would be as delicious as leeks.
"Why, you can't bear to give it back to He Xiang?" Emperor Wu of Zhou flicked Zhao Yao's forehead with his finger, "Orchids are the lifeblood of He Xiang. If you eat all the silver-edged tribute, He Xiang will fight for you. .”
Zhao Yao was shocked: For a pot of orchids, what?
"What about other orchids?" If he doesn't want to eat this silver-edged Dagon, he can eat other orchids. He didn't believe that all orchids were as precious as Silver-rimmed Dagon.
"Do you want to eat other orchids?"
Zhao Yao nodded honestly: "I wonder what they taste like."
Emperor Zhou Wu laughed again: "Hahahahaha..."
Zhao Yao: Is my father crazy tonight? He keeps laughing?
"Concubine, I'm hungry." I just ate a lot of orchids and didn't care if I was full.
"Your Majesty, do you want to eat now?"
"I'm hungry too, let's have a meal." Emperor Wu of Zhou stood up, reached out and took Zhao Yao's back collar and walked to the dining room.
Zhao Yao was like a kitten that was caught by the collar, pitifully and weakly lifted up and left in the dining room.
Tonight's dishes are all cooked by Liang Zhaoyi himself, and they are all common dishes in ordinary people's homes. Every time Emperor Wu of Zhou came to Kunde Hall, Liang Zhaoyi would cook the dishes himself.
Although they are all vegetarian dishes, Liang Zhaoyi makes them delicious and delicious.
Sun Kui was right. Emperor Wu of Zhou was very busy these past two days, and he was so busy that he had no appetite. At every meal, I only have a few casual bites.
Liang Zhaoyi personally served a bowl of vegetable soup to Emperor Zhou Wu, "Your Majesty, first drink a bowl of soup to warm your stomach."
Emperor Wu of Zhou took the bowl, picked up the spoon and drank sip after sip.
He most likes to come to Kunde Hall for meals. Liang Zhaoyi's cooking skills were actually not as good as those of the imperial kitchen, but the dishes she cooked were in line with Emperor Wu of Zhou's appetite.
Emperor Wu of Zhou liked to eat the dishes cooked by Liang Zhaoyi because she cooked home-cooked dishes. In her dishes, he could taste the taste of "home". This is a taste that the imperial dining room cannot produce.
In Kunde Hall, Emperor Zhou Wu could feel the warmth of "home". This was the only place where Emperor Zhou Wu could relax physically and mentally.
Emperor Wu of Zhou did not dare to relax for too long, so he only came to Kunde Hall once a month. As long as he comes to Kunde Hall, his fatigue and hard work this month will be gone.
In Kunde Hall, he is not a superior emperor, but an ordinary husband and father.
My mother-in-law found the silver-edged Dagon, saying it was an orchid that came to the palace in ancient times.
As for what it tastes like, I’ve definitely never tasted it, so I’m just making nonsense of it.
Zhao Yao: I wonder if the dumplings stuffed with orchids are delicious?
