Chapter 469: Pass in one piece
When Gu Mingda told this story, he wasn't too scared, but now he is really scared.
Niuniu is his daughter, and he will only support her in whatever she does, but for the emperor and the queen mother, it is hard to say what they will think when they hear such words.
Gu Mingda even changed places. If he were the ruler, he would definitely not want to hear such words.
Even the emperor defined this move early: Si Chen.
The Queen Mother's heart was also in a ball at this time. She had been in the palace for a long time, so of course she knew how lethal these words were to the emperor who was addicted to power. She was very afraid that the emperor would anger Niu Niu because of this.
But what everyone didn't expect was that when the emperor heard such "treasonous" words, he just chuckled and said, "You little girl, you know what a hen Si Chen is."
Gu Mingda felt relieved, thinking that this matter would be over.
Unexpectedly, Niu Niu raised her head slightly today and said, "I understand, the so-called hen crowing means a woman takes a man's job."
The smile on the emperor's face faded slightly and he asked: "Since you know, you still want to do what you do like a hen."
Perhaps because of Gu Mingda's long-standing teachings, Niu Niu rarely listened to words such as "what girls should do". Gu Mingda hoped that she would become a daughter who could survive independently even if she was separated from her parents and husband.
To a certain extent, Gu Mingda actually raised his daughter in the same way as heirs.
"Why not? What I do is because of what I want to do. Why do I have to divide everything into men and women? If I want, maybe I can get a bride back." Niu Niu said innocently.
The emperor frowned and looked at Niu Niu with a heavy gaze.
Everyone present could not help but breathe lightly.
Qian Rongsheng, who had served the emperor for decades, couldn't help but sweat for Niu Niu. He felt that the emperor's current state was very much a precursor to anger.
After a long time, the emperor suddenly laughed loudly: "Tong Yan Wuji! If you really marry a bride, your parents will be the ones who are worried!"
With the emperor's deliberate letting go, Niu Niu's remarks were easily reversed.
The Queen Mother took the opportunity and said: "Mr. Gu, the Ai family heard from Changfeng that your cooks are very skilled, far better than the imperial chefs. We must show them to the Ai family today."
Gu Mingda immediately spoke with modesty. In fact, he had already ordered the kitchen to entertain this group of people with the highest standards in advance.
Zhang Yunniang and Mrs. Gu are now helping Shuying in the kitchen. They even dismissed the cook at home. This is not only to help but also to monitor, for fear that Shuying's brain will twitch and he will do something irreparable.
It wouldn't work without letting Shuying take action. When the eldest princess came, Shuying cooked, but before the emperor and the queen mother arrived, the standard of hospitality was actually reduced.
Fortunately, at noon, after Shuying had prepared the dishes, she twisted her neck with a tired face and said, "I'm going back to the backyard. Next time if a guest that the lady values comes to visit, you can come see me again."
Zhang Yunniang was always polite when talking to her: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. Take a good rest these days. If you want to eat or play, just tell me."
Shuying glanced at her and said impatiently: "Okay, if I want to eat, I will make it myself. The food bought outside is not delicious at all. Just take good care of the third lady."
Shuying is a cook, one of the top ones, so there aren't many foods that she likes.
Zhang Yuniang thought that people with skills might have bad tempers. She never cared about Shuying's attitude and escorted her out of the kitchen and towards the backyard.
Halfway through the journey, she saw Li Shunfu coming towards her from a distance, and Zhang Yunniang's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"Mrs. Gu, the banquet is about to begin. The Queen Mother has urged me to invite you over." Li Shunfu said with a smile. Zhang Yunniang hurriedly responded and said: "The Queen Mother expresses your love, I will go immediately."
Li Shunfu glanced at Shuying on the side and asked, "Mrs. Gu, who is this girl?"
Shuying now wears a gold hairpin on her head, and the clothes on her body can be seen to be of good quality. The Gu family dare not let Shuying go out, but they have never neglected her food, clothing, housing and transportation. People who don’t know about it may think that Shuying Ying is the eldest lady of the Gu family.
Zhang Yuniang was also worried about how to introduce Shuying. She was afraid that Shuying would go to the emperor and talk nonsense, which would cause trouble.
"I don't like to see outsiders. If you want me to see others, I will die for you."
Shuying suddenly spoke up.
After saying that, she walked past everyone into the backyard with a cold face.
Zhang Yunniang explained awkwardly: "Manager Li, this girl is the cook at home. She has a weird temperament and is extremely afraid of seeing outsiders. She usually hides in the backyard."
Li Shunfu nodded and said, "Your cook is really weird."
He didn't take this incident seriously.
With the arrival of Zhang Yunniang, the Gu family's banquet to entertain the emperor also began. The queen mother thought that Shen Changfeng was exaggerating. But now that she tasted the dishes cooked by Shuying in person, she unknowingly ate too much and couldn't help it. Feeling:
"No wonder Guabao always thinks about his family. If there is such a master in the Aijia Palace, I'm afraid there will be no time when he loses his appetite."
As soon as these words came out, the Gu family's heart was in their throats again.
Sure enough, the emperor said in a matter-of-fact tone: "If the queen likes it, why not invite this cook into the palace."
The Queen Mother's expression changed.
The Gu family didn't dare to express their anger.
But Niu Niu suddenly came close to her and said, "Grandma the Queen Mother, the cook sister doesn't want to enter the palace."
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand and touched Niu Niu's smooth little face: "Is it because the cook doesn't want to enter the palace, or are you, a greedy girl, unwilling to let her run away with others?"
Niu Niu smiled shyly and said, "They are all there."
Li Shunfu took the opportunity to get closer and whispered a few words in the Queen Mother's ear.
The Queen Mother said: "Since it is the love of your heart, then the Aijia will not force it."
Niuniu breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Mingda took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, the cooks in Weichen's family are better at cooking novelty. The same dishes may be made by the royal chef in the palace, and the taste will be even better. Weichen has compiled a recipe Come on, it must have been cooked by the royal chef and it will be more suitable to the taste of the two nobles."
Offering the recipe is indeed sincerity enough.
Although the emperor accepted the favor of his subordinates, it was not for nothing. If he accumulated enough favorability in the future, it would become a bargaining chip for promotion. At this time, the emperor became interested and gave Gu Mingda a message: A house of good deeds.
"A house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy. I have visited many ministers' homes, and Gu Aiqing's house still opened my eyes." The emperor praised.
