Chapter 18:

The took me to the Imperial Study Room and found that the emperor was sitting inside and drinking tea. He looked very contented and contented. I respectfully approached the ground and asked me to please:
"Minion Song Suran, please the emperor!"
After the emperor said he was flat, I stood quietly and waited for him to speak.
"Song Aiqing really lived up to my trust. I have done a good job in this matter. I am very satisfied. From now on, I will designate you as the minister of the management of the royal dining room. I will reward one hundred and two silver. Song Aiqing, I appreciate you very much. It’s up to you to give the matter of the royal dining room to you, and you can’t tolerate any errors in the royal dining room. Are you clear?
In the Emperor's speech, the expression on his face that was still pleasing suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the usual solemn and serious look, and also cast me an inexplicable and meaningful look.
"The emperor Xie rewarded him, and his officials will not live up to the expectations of the Holy Ghost, and will do their best to manage the royal dining room."
I don’t know what kind of medicine is sold in the emperor gourd, but his words must not be simple, is it because he knows my identity? The master said that Prince Dayan has changed a little recently. Does he doubt me...
I don’t dare to guess too much, but I just respectfully accepted the purpose.
After that, the emperor said something to me. When I walked out of the Imperial Study, the sky was completely dark, and a round of bright moon hung on the horizon.
I looked at the full moon and suddenly remembered the words that the trustee passed to the princess before leaving, and hurried back to Yihua Temple as quickly as possible.
"After being called by the emperor for such a long time, the princess must have waited impatiently for me. Will she have fallen asleep?"
I was very anxious in my heart. I walked back to the temple as if walking on the wind, but I didn't see the princess's shadow. Even the kite was not there. I went to the bedroom and found that she was not there either.
"It's so late, how about the princess? Won't you go out in one breath just because of waiting for me for so long?"
Where can she go? I began to think about where she might go, looking around the entire Yihua Temple.
Until I walked into the garden behind the palace, I found that the princess was lying on the stone table, sleeping soundly, and the moon cake and some tea I just made were on the table.
While Kite was standing aside and saw me coming, just about to wake the sleeping princess, I made a booing gesture to her so that she would not wake the princess.
The kite is the princess's most beautified lady. I interacted with the princess intentionally or unintentionally these days. She looked in her eyes and knew what she knew, so she looked back with interest.
I walked quietly to the princess, took off my robe, gently covered her, and then said softly to her:
"It's getting cold. Why don't you go back to the dormitory if you want to sleep, and why don't you cover anything with me? Why can't you sleep like this?
The princess heard someone talking to her and covered it with a blanket. She thought it was a kite, but somehow she slowly opened her eyes and found out that it was me.
"Now, when did you come back... Am I asleep?"
She rubbed her eyes and looked at me sleepily.
"Zhen'er, I'm sorry, the emperor told me to go to the imperial study, so it took some time and made you wait for a long time. Are you sleepy?"
I sat next to her, gently stroked her face with my hand, and stroked the hair in her forehead.
"Oh, what's the matter with his father and emperor telling you to go?"
"The emperor is for this state banquet. The emperor is very satisfied. He also named me as the minister of the management of the royal dining room. He wants me to take charge of the royal dining room!"
I have to say, I am very happy in my heart. I feel that my talent is affirmed by the emperor, and I finally have a place to use it.
But after I said it, she showed a worried look, as if she had something to worry about, and was lost in contemplation.
"Zhen'er, Zhen'er~" I shook her a little before she reacted.
"Aren't you happy for me?" I asked her with a sullen face.
"Your dream has finally come true, how come I am not happy for you, just blame... this palace is too complicated, now you have to be more careful and careful."
Since I entered the palace, she always told me to be careful about the people and things in the palace. Although I don't understand why, I know that she will not harm me.
"My most dearest princess, I know you are the best and care about me the most. I will listen to you obediently~"
"Now, actually I..." She seemed to have something to say to me, but she kept talking.
I tilted my head and looked at her suspiciously. What was she thinking about this tangled look?
"what happened to you?"
"I... I'm hungry, let's eat quickly, you actually let me wait for so long, Kite, quickly bring the hot pot."
She did not answer my question, but changed the topic selectively. I vaguely felt that she was hiding something from me, but she was reluctant to continue, and I couldn't keep asking. Since it was what she wanted to say, it was time for her to say it.
"Princess, look at the moon tonight is round and bright. It would be nice if you could see the moon like you every year."
I took a bite of the moon cake while I was talking, and I really made it myself.
After listening to this sentence, she froze for a moment, then stared at my eyes and asked:
"Oh, you trust me?"
I nodded with certainty, she smiled at me, and took a bite of the moon cake, then leaned gently in my arms.
I looked at a full moon in the sky, it was very beautiful and bright, but I always felt that there was still something missing, yes, it was a sky lantern!
I said to the person in my arms:
"Princess, we don't seem to have let go of the sky lanterns yet. The folk people will have to put the sky lanterns on Mid-Autumn Festival. The lanterns of thousands of families are brightly lit. It’s spectacular. Also, I heard that they said the sky lanterns were flying higher and farther, the more likely the wish was fulfilled."
"Really this? Let's put one together."
After all, she called the kite and told her to fetch a sky lantern.
We lit the sky lanterns together, and each made a wish in our hearts while the sky lanterns were flying. Such unspoken words did not allow the other party to say what their wishes are, because we all know that these wishes are always good.
Such a quiet night, we leaned together to watch the slowly flying sky lanterns, and can be with the people we like in the calm days.
Zhen'er, if you ask me how to do it, how dare I break your heart. The answer is: You and I have no one in this life, but there is only one word "faith".
Three days later, according to the agreed time, I delivered the steak that I had just made from Yushanfang to Ziyan Palace.
But as soon as she entered the Ziyan Palace, the maid told me that the lady of the concubine was enjoying the autumn colors in the imperial garden. The lady told me to go to her.
I carried the basket and walked into the Royal Garden, and saw her swinging under a sycamore tree.
As autumn falls, the sycamore leaves are golden, and the leaves are falling like butterflies. She is dressed in a blue-violet light gauze and swaying gently on the swing like a charming blue fairy, on the golden yellow sycamore leaves. Against the background, more dazzling and beautiful.
"Are you here?" She knew it was me without looking back.
"How do you know it's me?" I was curious how she knew it.
"Because... I smell the smell of beef~"
After all, she turned around to reveal a gorgeous and beautiful smile, came down from the swing, and slowly walked towards me.
At this time, I only dared to bury my head low, not to look at her, for fear of losing my mind in front of her.
After she came over, she took the basket lightly in my hand and waved a hand in front of me.
"Master Song, why are you so nervous, I won't eat you again." Then she issued a string of silver bells and laughed happily, and turned to the pavilion over there.
When I saw her gone, I quickly followed her behind.
When I arrived at the pavilion, I saw that she couldn't wait to open the food box. In that way, there was a little bit of what she usually did.
"It smells good, hey, is this?"
She pointed to the food container, a white glazed pot and stemware asked me.
"Hui Niangniang, this is the finest wine from the tribute of the Western Regions presented by the courtiers to thank the Niangniang. The glass next to it is: Bordeaux wine glass. Some people call it a stemware because of its shape. There are many wines to drink. exquisite."
"Oh~ Goblet? Interesting name, how does this wine drink?"
Seeing her curiosity, I took out a tall glass and poured some wine on the hem. The wine was crystal clear like a purple gemstone in the sun, and the wine was rich and full of fruit.
Then I began to say slowly: "Wine must be tasted before you can feel its beauty. To taste wine, there are a total of five steps: sobering, watching, shaking, smelling, and finally tasting ~"
"It turns out that this wine is not so easy to drink, then you talk about how to wake up, watch, shake, smell, taste?" She looked at me with her chin resting attentively.
"The so-called sobering is that there should be 15 minutes to 3 hours of still sobering time after the wine is opened. During this time, the aroma and taste of the wine will change differently. After the sobering up, pour 3 glasses or 1 half glass. Then again When looking at the color, drink red wine first to watch its color change. The ruby-like crystal is the top quality. Appreciate the color change through the light. Too dark or too dark is not the top quality, especially impervious to any impurities.
This shaking is also called "accelerated sobering". This purpose is to accelerate the oxygen into the wine and release the fragrance of the red wine sleeping. Smell is when the air enters the red wine, and after the aroma is produced with alcohol, the aroma can be smelled, and the aroma will also change differently with time.
The last is to taste. After drinking the wine, you should use your taste buds to feel the taste at the first bite, and let the taste fill the mouth. Slowly swallow it. At this time, you will feel four wonderful flavors: sweet, sour, astringent, Aftertaste. After tasting, the aftertaste is good or bad, good wine, the taste will last longer~"
I said this big paragraph in one breath. It was completely learned now and sold. I just learned from the foreign ministers of Tribute Wine. I didn't expect this to be useful while ironing.
"I didn't expect you to know wine tasting. You deserve to be the minister of management of the royal dining room."
She chuckled a little, then picked up the stemware I just poured, learned the wine tasting method I taught her, and slowly gave some wine entrance.
"It really is a fine wine. After drinking it, I still feel the fragrance of my lips and teeth, and there is a touch of fruity flavor in my mouth. Master Song is so knowledgeable and has done a good job. In the future, she will be able to marry a woman who lives with Song, It’s really a blessing~"
Having said that, she slowly sandwiched a steak into the mouth and chewed happily.
"Niangniang laughed. The minister was just a little chef who managed the dining room. Who can compare with the nirvana in terms of blessings? The emperor loved the niangniang in all directions."
She heard me say this, and suddenly there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.
"Is it true to be all-in-one? He is the king, and he only has his Jiangshan Sheji in his heart. If he can't get his heart, even if he can get him?"
When I saw her say this, it must have been some resentment against the emperor on weekdays, so I persuaded her:
"The empress is also not to be troubled. The emperor is the monarch of a country. Naturally, there are many important things in the country that need him to deal with. On weekdays, the emperor's love for the empress and his heart for the empress are all in the eyes. of."
"Master Song, do you believe in commitment and life?"
I don’t know why she suddenly asked about this, but I replied firmly:
"I believe."
She picked up a fallen leaf floating in, and stared at the leaf and then said slowly:
"I also believe that I only hope that he will live up to me."
When she had finished speaking, she stood up slowly from the position, and she seemed ready to go.
"Master Song, please go back soon, don't make the princess wait any longer. Today's conversation with Master Song is very pleasant, then this palace will go back to Ziyan Palace first~" He left me with a charming smile. .
How could this person be so strange, the last second was still a sad look, and the next second showed such a smile.
Why should she ask me these strange questions?
However, this is no longer the time, it is time to return to the Yihua Temple, and I don’t know if the princess is looking for me, will you be angry again?
While thinking about the conversation with Li Fei just now, I slowly walked towards the direction of Yihua Temple.
