Emperor Wu's heart trembled violently, and the wall of his heart was severely attacked by Li Zhao.
He had always disliked Li Zhao, not only because Li Zhao liked to visit brothels and brothels and antagonize the prince, but more importantly because the queen suffered from heavy bleeding due to giving birth to him, and her body had been in short supply.
The queen was very doting on her little son, but Li Zhao failed to live up to his expectations and did some outrageous things. The queen was furious to death in the fourth year after giving birth to him.
This is also the reason why Li Zhao became more and more deviant and disliked more and more, and he was eventually banned from entering the palace.
However, Li Zhao's words touched his heart, making Emperor Wu feel as if he was dreaming.
This bastard...is he actually sensible?
"Come forward and let me take a closer look..." Emperor Wu waved.
Of the two children born to the queen, Li Zhao was more like his mother than the prince.
Emperor Wu's words made the prince tremble violently. The other princes and princesses were filled with shock and jealousy. They finally understood why this bowl of clear noodle soup had won!
After the queen's death, her father has not established a queen or taken a concubine. This bowl of clear soup noodles is the queen's masterpiece.
Why didn't we think of that?
The princes gritted their teeth in anger. A bowl of clear noodle soup was so simple that it didn't cost much at all...
Damn it!
How did Lao Jiu come up with the idea?
Li Zhao walked not far away from Emperor Wu with red eyes. Emperor Wu reached out with a trembling hand and touched Li Zhao's cheek. The child grew more and more like his mother.
But when he thought about the queen who was so angry with him, he couldn't like Li Zhao.
"Dad -" Li Zhao burst into tears. It was not that he was showing off, but that the original owner really missed his mother, and his emotions infected him as a time traveler: "I... I miss my mother!"
This "Dad" made the wall in Emperor Wu's heart collapse.
Emperor Wu wiped his red eyes, wiped away Li Zhao's tears with his calloused hands, patted his thin shoulder heavily and said, "Dad knows! Daddy... misses your mother too."
Including the prince, everyone's pupils shrank violently, and they felt intense jealousy in their hearts.
My father had never said such gentle words to them, let alone called him father.
"You can sit next to dad today."
"Father, I'd better sit in the back..." Li Zhao looked "fearful" and looked in the direction of the prince.
"Sit down if I tell you to!" Emperor Wu didn't like how submissive his son was now.
"Thank you, Father!"
No one saw the smile as Li Zhao lowered his head.
So, he sat in the seat that originally belonged to him from the backmost corner position.
"Father, a lot of delicious food has been presented from various places. We have ordered people to prepare today's meals, please taste them." The second prince immediately stood up and said.
Li Zhao, who had just sat down, sneered in his heart. Others didn't know who the second prince was, but he knew it very well.
He stole his brother's favor and limelight, but his deadly chain dunks came as expected!
The second prince's suggestion was accepted. One by one, the young eunuchs came in carrying trays and the ingredients on them. Everyone stood in three rows.
These ingredients are the best ingredients sent as tribute from various states in Wu Kingdom.
The second prince said: "There are a total of one hundred and eight kinds of ingredients here. Your Highness, the prince, should you choose first?"
After the prince finished selecting, several of Li Zhao's royal brothers began to select. They took away all the good ingredients that could be put on the table, and the rest were weird ones that couldn't be put on the table.
"Ninth brother, it's your turn!" The second prince looked at Li Zhao with a smile.
Li Zhao stood up slowly and glanced at the ingredients under the joking eyes of many royal brothers.
To describe it in one sentence: it’s tasteless to eat, it’s a pity to throw it away!
The food in the palace is very particular. First of all, the appearance must be good-looking, but the remaining ingredients look ugly, so the appearance loses.
Secondly, it is delicious and recognized by the public; but the remaining ingredients are not popular, so it loses again.
Li Zhao was impeccable.
"Hehe... let me see how he can take advantage of this time?"
"Even the top chefs in the palace can't make the remaining ingredients taste good. He will definitely lose this time!"
"These ingredients are ugly... tsk tsk!"
The princes and princesses gloated over the misfortune. If Li Zhao had not been sitting in that position just now, everyone might sympathize with him.
But now...there is only hostility.
However, Li Zhao was not as angry or embarrassed as they expected. Instead, he said: "I choose them!"
Seeing that Li Zhao actually chose two of the ugliest and unattractive ingredients, a smile flashed in the prince's eyes.
He knew that Li Zhao would lose this round!
"Ninth Brother, do you really not want to think about it anymore?" The second prince shuddered when he saw the disgusting appearance of the toad (called toad by people in the Wu Kingdom, but it was actually a bullfrog), and reminded him in a fake tone.
"This thing looks disgusting, how can it be delicious?" the prince and princess whispered, with rejection written all over their faces.
"There's that thing that doesn't look like crabs or shrimps (lobsters), but the aquatic products in the rivers and ditches in the southern part of Wu Kingdom are not even eaten by civilians. He actually makes this kind of food for my father?"
"Li Zhao, Li Zhao, you are seeking your own death!"
No one is optimistic about Li Zhao. Choosing these ingredients means that he has lost.
When the fourth prince saw this, he couldn't help but wink at Li Zhao, hoping that he would be more cautious. If not, it would be better to choose mediocre ingredients. You have no chance of choosing the most rubbish ones.
Your father's opinion of you has finally changed. If you offend your father because of the food served at this family dinner, it will be more than worth the loss.
The fourth prince is one of the candidates to seize the throne, and he is pretty good to King You.
However, Li Zhao still smiled at the fourth prince and decided to choose these ingredients.
"Hey -" the fourth prince sighed. It was hard to persuade the damned one to persuade him. In his opinion, Lao Jiu was seeking death.
Emperor Wu frowned slightly and couldn't help but remind him, "Zhao'er, are you sure you want to choose these two ingredients?"
Emperor Wu had tasted countless delicacies in his life and had seen all kinds of weird things, but these two were notoriously unpalatable in the Wu Kingdom. He couldn't imagine how Li Zhao came back to life?
Li Zhao nodded firmly.
The thought of eating these two disgusting things made Emperor Wu's stomach churn.
Did this bastard do it on purpose?
The prince was secretly happy: Lao Jiu is indeed Lao Jiu. His father had clearly given him a hint to change the ingredients, but he still insisted on it.
Li Zhao clasped his fists and said, "My son, I want to personally cook these two delicacies for my father."
"Stupid! If you want to be courteous, you shouldn't choose this method. He is asking for death." The princes didn't know for a while whether Li Zhao was stubborn or really wanted to seize this opportunity to disgust Emperor Wu.
Emperor Wu turned coldly, stared at Li Zhao, and said, "Have you thought clearly?"
His words were already a warning.
If Li Zhao didn't do it himself, there might be a chance, but if he did it himself, there would be no chance at all.
"My son has been cooking by himself over the years and has learned some skills. Although he eats bran vegetables and rice porridge for every meal, the food is quite delicious." Li Zhao had a bright and sunny face. Smile: "Er Chen is confident that he can make the most delicious food!"
Pfft——
