In Xiao Shuyu's bedroom.
She has prepared many meals, none of which are delicacies from the imperial kitchen. They include chrysanthemum cake, lotus seed soup, some braised meat, long-braised lamb chops, etc.
All the dishes are cooked by Xiao Shuyu herself.
This is to thank Zhao Shan for cultivating Zhao Ce.
Xiao Shuyu is a very smart woman.
She knew that during the duel between Zhao Shan and Zhao Rui, she stood on Zhao Shan's side and helped Zhao Shan provide information. Zhao Shan kept his promise and was willing to train Zhao Ce. But when it comes to cultivating a person, the intensity of the training and the length of support are all different.
It depends on Zhao Shan's mood.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Shuyu hosted a banquet in person, hoping that Zhao Shan would pay more attention to Zhao Ce, train Zhao Ce more, and give Zhao Ce more opportunities.
Xiao Shuyu was waiting in the palace, her emotions were a little mixed for a while, but she was worried that Zhao Shan would not come. Not long after, Xiao Shuyu received a report from the palace maid, saying that Zhao Shan was already on the way, and asked Xiao Shuyu to be ready to pick him up.
Xiao Shuyu suddenly became excited.
The arrival of Zhao Shan proved that she, Concubine Hui, had some beauty and value, and could fight for more for her son.
Xiao Shuyu cleaned up briefly and came to the palace gate to wait. When Zhao Shan brought Zhang Xu outside the palace, Xiao Shuyu hurriedly greeted him with soft eyes and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan smiled and nodded.
Today, Xiao Shuyu is still dressed in a simple and elegant dress, with a goose-yellow dress, long shawl hair, and an elegant face. In addition, he is at a charming age, but his elegance seems to be suppressed with passion, which makes people's eyes bright.
Xiao Shuyu waved her hand and invited Zhao Shan to enter the palace. After Zhao Shan sat down, Xiao Shuyu was waiting on the side personally and said softly: "It is all because of His Majesty's kindness that Ce'er can gain the respect of His Majesty and have the opportunity to go to Jingzhou with His Majesty." ."
"I am a weak woman with little ability and cannot repay Your Majesty, so I can only prepare these dishes for Your Majesty to taste. Because the taste of my dishes is relatively bland, if it does not suit Your Majesty's taste, I will adjust it next time."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and handed it over.
Zhao Shan tried the chrysanthemum cake. It was soft and glutinous in the mouth, and the sweetness slowly penetrated into his heart. It was very comfortable. Zhao Shan's eyes lit up and he praised: "The chrysanthemum cake made by the Dowager Empress is indeed a masterpiece, far superior to the imperial dining room."
Xiao Shuyu smiled and said: "Your Majesty likes it, you can eat more."
She picked up another piece of stewed mutton chop and handed it over, and continued: "Your Majesty, try the mutton chop. I have stewed it with a lot of medicinal herbs. It tastes fragrant and has no odor at all."
After Zhao Shan ate it, his mouth was smooth and smooth, without the slightest taste of Mianchai, and there was still a faint fragrance in the mutton.
It can be called the best.
Xiao Shuyu served Zhao Shan to eat, and Zhao Shan refused to refuse anyone who came.
Speaking of the many concubines in the palace, whether it is Cao Mengchan, Jiang Yuhuang, Tuoba Yanran, or other women, none of them can cook as well as Xiao Shuyu.
Xiao Shuyu is the first person with such a high level of cooking.
It is indeed not simple.
After Zhao Shan ate a lot, Xiao Shuyu poured another glass of wine, held the wine glass in both hands and handed it to Zhao Shan, and continued: "Your Majesty, this is fruit wine brewed by me from various fruits. It is different from ordinary wine. It can relieve tiredness and is not intoxicating."
Zhao Shan reached out to take it, but when he took the cup, his hand accidentally touched Xiao Shuyu's hand.
It's soft to the touch and very silky.
Xiao Shuyu shrank back in an instant, and Zhao Shan had not yet held the wine glass firmly, causing the wine glass to fall on the desk with a clang, and the wine spilled on Zhao Shan's robe, making a small piece wet.
Xiao Shuyu's face changed greatly, and she quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I was reckless and wet your Majesty's robe. Please forgive me."
Zhao Shan patted the wine spilled on his clothes, smiled and waved his hands: "Ms. Princess, you don't have to be like this. It's just a little wet on your clothes. It doesn't have any effect. Get up quickly. I'm going on an expedition. You made a table of them." I can’t even thank you for the delicious food that you put into practice for me, so how can I blame you?”
Xiao Shuyu was relieved.
She was really panicked.
The moment he was touched, he instinctively flinched, causing the wine glass to fall. Once Zhao Shan is angered by a trivial matter and affects the future of his son Zhao Ce, all the hard work will be in vain.
This is what Xiao Shuyu doesn't want to see.
Xiao Shuyu knelt down again, took out the handkerchief from her sleeve, bent over and pulled Zhao Shan's robe, wiped it and said: "Please wipe your body with your majesty."
She bent down and wiped it, highlighting the whiteness on her tube top.
The plump career line is revealed.
When Zhao Shan met Xiao Shuyu last year, the weather was cold and Xiao Shuyu wore more clothes, which covered her hot figure. Now that we are about to enter the midsummer season, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so Xiao Shuyu wears much cooler clothes.
After leaning over, the endless spring light was naturally revealed.
Perhaps sensing Zhao Shan's gaze, Xiao Shuyu quickly wiped it a few times and stood up quickly. There was a trace of unnaturalness on her face, but she hid it well. She still poured the wine naturally and said again: "Your Majesty, have a taste."
Zhao Shan took it and took a bite.
It is soft in the mouth, not spicy at all, not sour in the throat, and not sour at all. It has a hint of sweetness and a complex taste of various fruits.
This is excellent wine.
Zhao Shan has never encountered such fine wine since traveling through time.
Zhao Shan drank another glass and praised: "It is indeed a good wine. I didn't expect that the concubine can not only cook, but also make wine. It is really not easy."
Xiao Shuyu said humbly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."
Zhao Shan was served by Xiao Shuyu, and after eating and drinking, he said: "If the concubine has any needs, she can directly come to Zhang Xu, or you can come to me. It's getting late, I'm going back."
"I am sending you to Your Majesty."
Xiao Shuyu personally sent Zhao Shan away. After Zhao Shan walked some distance away, Xiao Shuyu breathed a long sigh of relief, but found that her heartbeat had accelerated faster than ever before, which was a bit abnormal.
Xiao Shuyu's eyes were thoughtful, she suppressed her chaotic emotions, and then turned around and returned to the palace.
Zhao Shan left Xiao Shuyu's palace and returned to the palace to still deal with government affairs. He was almost always reviewing the memorials, gradually transferring all government affairs to Zhuge Shang, and preparing for the next attack on Jingzhou.
Another two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the morning of this day, Fang Weihu entered the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, General Wei's Luoyang garrison and General Zhou's Xuanjia Army are all ready. All equipment, supplies, etc. have also been prepared, and the hidden spies have already been prepared. If you send them out, you can go south and start a war."
"Can!"
Zhao Shan also nodded in reply.
The government affairs in the court have been handed over properly, and Zhuge Shang is responsible for them. Zhao Shan directly called Zhao Ce, then took Fang Weihu with him, went directly to the army, and took the army of Wei Fengqing and Zhou Huhou to march south.
