Chapter 905

Not only that, he also sniffed it lightly, probably to check if it had deteriorated.

What's more, he was checking all the food against a food chart.

After all the inspection procedures are over, the eunuch also tastes each dish, which is called "taste meal".

The reason why it is so cumbersome is precisely because in history, some emperors were poisoned to death by food.

In history, Sima Zhong, Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, was poisoned by eating cakes, and collapsed in Xianyang Hall in Gengwu.

Immediately afterwards, after confirming that the food was non-toxic, the eunuch said to Si Ye: "Your Majesty, please eat."

Fourth master nodded slightly, his eyes signaled the dishes on the table.

Whenever he looked at a dish, the eunuch serving food would move that dish closer to Fourth Master.

Then spoon into bowls of brussels sprouts.

Next, Ruoyin found a problem.

Fourth master seems to have a good self-control, no matter which dish, he will hardly eat three bites in a row.

She had heard before that the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty ruled that no more than three spoonfuls of vegetables are allowed.

Because what the emperor likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat must never be known to outsiders.

Firstly, I was afraid that someone would make up their minds about the meal and poison the emperor.

Secondly, I also didn't want to hear that someone in the palace used the name of imperial meal to bluff and deceive.

And the eunuchs standing behind fourth master were dedicated to enforcing the rules.

Even the emperor has to follow the rules set by the ancestors.

Sometimes, the fourth master nodded approvingly to a dish, and the eunuch would scoop it up for him again.

But after scooping, the dish will be backed up a little, and it will not be scooped for the third time.

If he ate it all three times in a row, the head of the four eunuchs would scream "withdraw!"

The rest of the eunuchs removed the dish.

Ruoyin looked at the dignified expressions of the eunuchs, and estimated that the removed dishes would not be seen for ten and a half months.

This rule is "passing meals but not persuading them".

In short, the emperor's meals are always unpredictable, and the rules cannot be easily grasped.

Not only that, but what kind of food the emperor likes to eat must never be recorded on the file.

The emperor would never say what he likes to eat, or what he wants to eat today.

The eunuchs serving meals and the palace staff are not allowed to talk about it casually, which is a big taboo in the palace.

Because, anyone who talks about or leaks the emperor's meals at will will be punished with a stick, and beheaded if he is serious!

In the past, Ruoyin always thought that the emperor was the most honorable person in this country.

You must do whatever you want to do.

But now that I really see it, I feel that it is not as free and easy as an ordinary person.

You can't even eat a meal as you want, let alone anything else.

It's no wonder that Kangxi had a meal in the Old Summer Palace, his eyes turned red and his body trembled.

Thinking of this, Ruoyin pouted.

And her appearance happened to be seen by fourth master.

Seeing the helpless look on the woman's face and the look of lovelessness, fourth master thought she was hungry.

A pair of mysterious and deep ink pupils glanced at the two mouthfuls of food on the table, then at Ruoyin, and said in a deep voice, "Reward!"

Come on, the eunuch of Chuanshan is a striking one.

He quickly filled a bowl of rice for Ruoyin, and passed the dish that fourth master gave to Ruoyin.

He said in his heart that the emperor had tasted three mouthfuls and had already withdrawn it.

After tasting two mouthfuls, it was also deeply tasted by the emperor, so it was rewarded to the empress.

I didn't expect to see that the emperor didn't like to talk, but his heart was quite soft.

At this moment, Ruoyin looked at the silver bowl in front of him, which contained fried prawns, stir-fried frogs, and eight-treasure wild duck.

She swallowed secretly, cast an uncertain look at Fourth Master, and asked, "Your Majesty, my concubine...is that okay?"

Fourth Master, who was eating, looked up and glanced at the woman.

There was a look of surprise in her eyes, but mixed with hesitation.

This appearance is like a child asking for an adult's opinion, it's pitiful.

Seeing that Fourth Master frowned slightly, he said in a deep voice, "Sit next to me."

"Oh." Ruoyin finally sat down opposite fourth master under the service of the servant.

When Su Peisheng saw it, he showed an eunuch smile, and his eyes were almost bent into slits.

The emperor has always been strict and strict with himself, but he favors and favors the empress again and again.

Originally, when the emperor had meals, everyone except the personal eunuchs and eunuchs who passed on meals had to go out.

It was fine for the emperor to stay in the house, and rewarded her with meals.

It doesn't matter, it stands to reason that it is an exception for the empress to eat standing up.

Even if you sit and eat, you need to open another desk.

Now, the emperor actually let the queen eat at the same table with him, this is unprecedented.

While Su Peisheng was thinking about it secretly, he heard Fourth Master say in a rare and gentle way: "You are not me, so you don't need to hold yourself back like this."

As soon as these words came out, Su Peisheng jumped in shock.

It turned out that Ruoyin was more cautious when she saw that fourth master had a lot of rules in eating.

No matter which dish is delicious, eat only one bite of each dish.

At this moment, Ruoyin smiled at fourth master when he heard what fourth master said, and he was really rude.

Pick the fourth master to eat two bites.

Especially when the fourth master had eaten three bites, when the eunuch was about to withdraw the food, she asked the servant to bring it to her, and ate it with great relish.

When she saw fourth master eating just now, she was a little hungry.

It is not easy to be able to sit here and have a meal now, so naturally I will not be polite.

Seeing the woman so presumptuous and unscrupulous, Fourth Master's eyes tightened.

It happened that he had approved her by himself.

And she behaved like a bunny the whole time, and didn't ask for anything.

So, fourth master had no choice but to bite his back teeth hard, and lowered his head to eat.

What he couldn't eat, she ate better than anyone else.

If I had known that she was such a heartless person, I should have let her stand there starving!

After a stick of incense, fourth master and Ruoyin were almost done eating.

In such a well-behaved situation, it is no different from the past in the Yuanmingyuan, where he was always full of food.

Since he didn't eat too much, he took a short break, and Ruoyin took care of fourth master.

After blowing out the candle, she fell into a generous and warm embrace as soon as she lay down.

Fourth Master's arms were very powerful, and he held her tightly in his arms.

It was a kind of hug that couldn't help but had no distracting thoughts because we hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Then, a man's deep voice sounded next to his ears: "Is there a palace you like?"

"Ah?" Ruoyin looked up at the man, but only saw his sharp chin and sexy Adam's apple, "I haven't lived in the palace for a long time, so I'm not very familiar with the palace. I just said Whatever the emperor bestows on the ministers and concubines, the ministers and concubines will live there."

The man snorted coldly, and said: "It's strange for you to push your nose and face, and you are here to ask me for a bedroom, huh?"

"Hee hee..." She smiled like a fox in his arms.

"The co-author has just ascended the throne, and I have to give you a place to live."

"The emperor took the initiative to ask, isn't it because he wants to show off to his concubine?" Her voice was a little bit of arrogance and arrogance.
