Chapter 455 The old emperor's calculations are in full swing
In fact, this red seal was made by Jiang Yimo and a good friend from her previous life during their spare time.
I did a lot, but it was left in the space and I never had the chance to use it.
I didn't want to, but I used it when I came here.
Eunuch Li hurried into the hall in small steps. After reporting to the old emperor, he quickly walked out of the hall and respectfully led the Xie King, Li King, Jiang Yimo and others into the hall.
I heard the Evil King and three others come in.
At this moment, the old emperor, who was originally concentrating on handling affairs, had put down what he was doing, raised his head, and cast his gaze towards the three people who were slowly walking towards him.
Jiang Yimo raised her head slightly and quickly glanced at the old emperor sitting on the dragon throne out of the corner of her eye.
She noticed that compared with the past, the old emperor's complexion was obviously much rosier today, and his eyes revealed a bright and lively glow.
Obviously, after a period of recuperation, the old emperor's physical condition has improved.
Since Eunuch Li bid farewell to the court and returned to serve the emperor, not only has Eunuch Li's own health gradually recovered.
More importantly, under his meticulous care, the old emperor's mental outlook also changed significantly.
The old emperor now looks full of energy, as if he has gained new vitality.
It’s no wonder that the old emperor can’t leave this little Leo by his side.
While she was thinking, the old emperor's loud and slightly dissatisfied voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"I heard that the New Year's Eve dinner at the Evil King's Mansion yesterday was exceptionally sumptuous, the dishes were fragrant and delicious..."
"And there seems to be some new thing called playing with cards?"
These words struck the hearts of everyone present like a heavy hammer.
Faced with the old emperor's questioning, the three people looked at each other, and an awkward smile that was difficult to conceal appeared on their faces.
Especially the Evil King and the Li King, who are usually majestic and eloquent.
But at this moment, he seemed to be under a spell. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
However, just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Jiang Yimo stepped forward, with a faint smile on her lips, and said softly: "Your Majesty, last night was New Year's Eve!"
"So we have specially prepared more rich and delicious food so that everyone can spend a happy and peaceful New Year's Eve together."
Then, she paused for a moment and continued to explain, "As for mahjong and poker, it was because I took into consideration that everyone might feel sleepy and bored when staying up all night, so I came up with this idea to provide entertainment for everyone to pass the time and relieve boredom."
As she spoke, Jiang Yimo's gaze was always on the old emperor, her eyes sparkling with intelligence and confidence.
Unexpectedly, the emperor said: "You have celebrated the New Year well, but I and your grandmother did not."
"The food prepared by the imperial kitchen is simply tasteless. It is totally incomparable to the food cooked by Jiang girl!"
"Also, I am very bored dealing with government affairs all day long. If I can play mahjong and poker, it will help me relieve my worries."
The old emperor looked unhappy and kept muttering.
"..."
Prince Li, Prince Xie and Jiang Yimo, who were standing by, were speechless after hearing what the old emperor said.
However, Jiang Yimo understood the deeper meaning behind the old emperor's words.
It turns out that this high and mighty emperor also has such a childish side.
If you want Jiang Yimo to cook, just tell her directly. Why are you beating around the bush and talking so much nonsense to them?
Not only that, the old emperor also wanted the mahjong and playing cards in her hands.
Forget it, since the old emperor has already said this, why should I be so ignorant?
"Your Majesty, if you want to try the food I cook, I will show you my cooking skills at noon today."
"Also, it will take some time for my daughter to cook. How about, Your Highness Prince Xie, you send someone back to the palace to bring last night's mahjong and playing cards into the palace. You and Your Highness Prince Li can teach the Emperor and the Queen Mother how to play mahjong and playing cards." Jiang Yimo suggested.
As soon as these words came out.
The Evil King and the Li King simultaneously turned their gazes to Jiang Yimo, with a hint of hesitation and indecision in their eyes.
They are actually unwilling in their hearts, but when faced with the words spoken by their loved ones, it is really difficult to refuse.
At that moment, the two were in a dilemma. After looking at each other, they nodded reluctantly and agreed.
Then, the evil king turned to the eunuch Li beside him and said, "Eunuch Li, send someone to my residence to get mahjong and playing cards."
The voice was low and helpless.
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Li took the order to arrange people to go to the Evil King's Mansion, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
At the same time, Jiang Yimo turned and went to the imperial kitchen.
As she walked, she was thinking about what dish to cook today.
After entering the imperial kitchen, she first glanced at the kitchen and saw the neatly arranged and dazzling array of ingredients.
I thought to myself: Since I don’t know what specific dishes to make, I’ll just decide based on the existing ingredients!
Anyway, just make whatever dish you have available.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and began to carefully select the appropriate ingredients...
But when she saw the snow and ice outside, she suddenly thought of what to cook.
An hour later, Jiang Yimo finally finished the shuangxiang hotpot base and delicious hotpot dipping sauce that she had carefully prepared.
At the same time, with the assistance of the imperial chefs, she also skillfully matched a variety of exquisite side dishes for hot pot.
These side dishes are dazzling and colorful. There are both meat side dishes, such as beef rolls (which Jiang Yimo secretly took out from the space), lamb slices, tender beef, etc.; there are also vegetable vegetarian dishes, such as lettuce leaves, cabbage hearts, etc.
Each side dish is carefully selected and processed to ensure its high quality and excellent taste.
After everything was ready, Jiang Yimo ordered the palace servants to deliver these delicious dishes to the Yangxin Palace one by one.
Watching the side dishes being carefully taken away, she couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in her heart, as if she could imagine the emperor's satisfied expression as he tasted his hot pot.
Jiang Yimo stepped into the Yangxin Palace with light steps.
As soon as she entered the hall, she saw the carefully prepared mandarin duck hot pot base placed steadily on the boiler.
It is boiling happily, and the rich aroma fills the air, making people salivate.
Around the spacious table, various side dishes that she had carefully prepared were neatly arranged, dazzling and colorful.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation is extremely bustling now.
Not only the Emperor, the Evil King and the Li King were here, but even the Empress Dowager, the Empress and the Concubine Xian had come to join in the fun.
