Chapter 188 Delivering meals
On this day, Emperor Changping did not come to accompany them for dinner with their mother and daughter. There were too many things. In addition, the matter of Concubine De still hurt Emperor Changping's heart. Except for the previous few days when Emperor Changping came to Wutong Palace, since Concubine De's fake pregnancy was exposed, Emperor Changping rarely came to Wutong Palace again.
If Emperor Changping did not come, Empress Cao felt much more at ease. This was what Emperor Changping should be like. Empress Cao was unable to understand the Changping Emperor in those days. In the past few days, she had a daughter to accompany her to have dinner. Empress Cao didn't have to care whether Emperor Changping came or not. If he didn't come, her mother and daughter would be more relaxed.
As for Princess Changping Baoer, every day when the meal has arrived, he will ask, "Where is Father, won't Father come back for meals?"
However, since the incident of Concubine De, Empress Cao was implicated and was banned by Emperor Changping. Even after she wanted to go to the Wutong Palace to see her mother, her father did not allow her. Princess Baoer was still a little angry, and she also had this fear and anxiety that she had not felt.
This time she saw her father like this, she had never seen before. Her father was unfamiliar with Princess Baoer. Her understanding of her father had changed. Princess Baoer thought she could probably understand what happened, "first the king and the minister, then the father and son."
But this perception made her unwilling to accept it. For more than ten years, in Princess Baoer's heart, her father was the same as the father of an ordinary family. Of course, she imagined these things herself. After all, she had never had the chance to see how father, son and daughter get along with each other in the family of ordinary people.
However, when Princess Changping Baoer scolded him in her heart, she always felt that her father was a great existence, she would smile at her, and would be willing to listen to every word she said, and treat her like her mother.
In short, the position and imagination of the father in her heart have always been high-end, but suddenly the father is no longer the father she knew. Although the father is still the father, she actually knows it in her heart that the father is no longer the father she used to be.
To be more precise, the father is still the father, but the father in the past was the father in her heart, and the father now is the real father.
Bao'er just heard someone from Chongde Hall telling her father that she was not here to come to have a meal with her mother and daughter. Although Bao'er felt disappointed, she had a meal with her mother and queen. Princess Bao'er said, "My mother, let's have a meal first. My father is too busy with you now. Let Madam Ping send it to her father. This way, she is to be a father and have a meal with us."
Empress Cao smiled and looked at her daughter, "Just do what you said." After responding to her daughter, Empress Cao said to Madam Ping, "Just do what the princess said, "You know how to tell Your Majesty."
"Yes, I will do it now. I know how to report to Your Majesty. Your Majesty is waiting for Your Majesty to have meals. When he saw the meal, His Majesty was still busy and had no time to have meals. The princess was very distressed and did not dare to come and disturb Your Majesty's handling of government affairs. So I can only let me bring you food. I hope Your Majesty cherishes the dragon body."
"Well, go, go," Empress Cao went to dinner with her daughter. Princess Baoer kept giving her mother's food in person. "My mother is delicious, this imperial chef is good, it's really good, I deserve to give her."
Empress Cao was making trouble with her daughter like this, and she was still helping, "Have you listened to the princess' orders? Go and see the reward."
Princess Baoer was even happier. Basically, she would say the meal she had had was delicious, and then give it to her. Today, the chefs who cooked the meal for Empress Cao in the imperial kitchen were blushing. The meals they made were not only good from the master, but also received a rich reward.
These chefs have envied the rest of the imperial chefs in the imperial kitchen. They have received the rewards before, but who would have thought that this reward was too much?
You should know that this reward is an affirmation of their abilities and a symbol of status, so for them, the imperial chefs, this is an extraordinary thing.
In Wutong Palace, Empress Cao and Princess Baoer and her son were very happy. In Chongde Hall, Emperor Changping also stopped the political affairs he had handled and asked the imperial kitchen to give food to the ministers waiting according to their grades, asking them to go back to have meals first, and he himself had meals in Chongde Hall.
Emperor Changping's meal was the meal that Princess Baoer asked that Madam Ping to send. Madam Ping followed the instructions of Empress Cao and said to Emperor Changping. After saying what the master ordered, Madam Ping lowered her head and said nothing, waiting for Emperor Changping to give instructions.
Sure enough, Emperor Changping was so happy after hearing what Madam Ping said. Because of the boredom caused by political affairs, he was much more relaxed at this time.
Emperor Changping looked at the big food box placed on the table in front of him, thinking about Madam Ping's words just now, Emperor Changping's heart was warm and soft, and some people felt really good about caring. How long has it been since there was such a warm feeling? Emperor Changping can no longer remember it.
"Zhang Quan, have a meal." Emperor Changping was very happy. The voice of Zhang Quan in his command was full of unspeakable briskness and warmth. It was completely different from before Madam Ping came just now.
"Yes." Zhang Quan quickly stepped forward and lifted the food box on the table, walked to another round table in the hall, took out the food box and placed it.
Emperor Changping also stood up and cleaned his hands under the service of the little palace maids. After sitting down, Emperor Changping took the chopsticks presented by Zhang Quan with both hands and slowly drank. Emperor Changping tasted each dish first. He asked Madam Ping, "Does the Queen and the others use these dishes?"
Although he asked this, Emperor Changping had already had the answer in his heart.
Sure enough, I heard Madam Ping reply, "Reply to Your Majesty, the meal used by the Empress and Your Highness is the same as the meal given to Your Majesty."
Emperor Changping's smile became deeper, the curve of the corners of his mouth became larger, and the chopsticks were delivered faster than usual. After a while, Zhang Quan added a second bowl of rice. Every dish on the table was not big, but the dishes were better because they were more dishes.
