238 Fool, what are you crying about
It was not until Si Yu came to him that Lin Su realized and quickly stepped back to bow his knees to salute. Si Yu came forward and reached out to stop her and said softly, "Don't be polite." He entered the outer hall with Lin Su, but did not ask Lin Su why he was still standing outside at this time.
Lin Su followed into the room, and Xia Yan waited on her cloak. Then she came forward to serve Si Yu to sit down, brought hot tea, and whispered, "I heard that the emperor is dealing with the government in the imperial study today. I don't know if I can have dinner?"
Si Yu took a sip of tea before he opened his mouth. His voice was low with a trace of unconcealed fatigue.
"I had some snacks before, and now I hear you ask, and I'm a little hungry." Si Yu looked at Lin Su with a low smile, "I just don't know if I'm late and if there is any longevity noodles to eat."
Lin Su's expression was a little moved. She quickly lowered her head and whispered, "My concubine is going to the kitchen in person..."
Before he finished speaking, Si Yu stood up and held her hand and whispered in her ear, "I have eaten the meal made by my concubine many times, and I haven't seen what my concubine looks like in the kitchen. Since I'm free today, why don't you go to the kitchen with my concubine?"
"It's just..." Lin Su was a little hesitant. "There is a lot of oil smoke in the kitchen, and I'm afraid of smoking the emperor."
"If my concubine goes, can't I do it?" Si Yu's words were soft, but his tone was still irrefutable and firm.
Lin Su looked up at Si Yu and took advantage of the bright candlelight in the room to see the shadow and fatigue under Si Yu's eyes clearly. She checked her head and asked Xia Yan to take a lantern to lead the way. In addition, Chang Fugui, who is now serving Si Yu, only four people in the group walked towards the kitchen behind the Fuliu Hall.
Even though Lin Su has lived two lifetimes, she never thought that one day there would be such a picture between her and Si Yu. She stood in front of the table and rubbed the dough with a porcelain basin, while Si Yu sat aside and looked at herself with a comfortable look.
This kind of relationship makes her subconsciously feel that she and Si Yu seem to be an ordinary couple who have been married for many years.
Looking back at Si Yu with a faint smile on his face, a trace of crimson appeared on his face, and he quickly lowered his head and slowly rubbed the dough.
After rubbing for about a quarter of an hour, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Lin Su's forehead. Xia Yan, who was beside her, quickly picked up a handkerchief and wiped Lin Su's sweat, and whispered, "Master, this side is almost done. Let the maidservant drive away the noodles."
Lin Su shook her head with a smile and motioned her to help her pull up the slipped sleeves, and then whispered, "My face is not strong enough. I have little strength. I need to rub it for a while."
When the noodles were kneaded, Lin Su ordered Xia Yan to make a fire pot, add boiled broth, shrimp mushrooms, and add some green vegetables. When the noodles come out of the pot, the aroma overflows.
"It's a little late today, so I can only make do with the existing materials in the kitchen." Lin Su put a bowl of noodles in front of Si Yu and whispered, "Your Majesty, let's make do with it first."
Si Yu reached out and took the chopsticks and spoon handed over by Lin Su. First, he tasted the soup, and then nodded and ate the noodles.
After a busy day of political affairs, he hasn't eaten well for a day. Now the noodles made by Lin Su are fragrant and delicious, and the noodles themselves are full of strength, which makes Si Yu's appetite and eat two bowls. Then he put down his chopsticks in his hand with a sigh of relief.
Lin Su saw that he was full, so he handed over his handkerchief, smiled and watched Si Yu wipe his mouth, and whispered, "It seems that the emperor thinks this noodle tastes good."
"It's the longevity noodles made by your concubine, why don't I like it?" Si Yu got up with a smile, "If the beloved concubine is not afraid of the cold, will accompany me to walk in the courtyard of this Fuliu Hall?"
"My concubine is wearing a cloak, but the emperor..."
"I'm fine. This cold is nothing." Si Yu reached out and took Lin Su's hand, and his eyes slightly glanced at Xia Yan and Chang Fugui, who were far behind the two. If on my birthday, my concubine can make another bowl of longevity noodles with her own hands..."
"The emperor is the supreme of the 95th. Is it possible that this bowl of noodles is still missing?" Lin Su was a little uneasy. She was held by Si Yu. She didn't know why she first thought of Wen Jingxuan, who was blind and recuperating in the general's mansion, and then thought of Feng Jing, who looked at her in Yanran's house that day and said "you know" bitterly.
Therefore, her answer was somewhat rejected.
Si Yu looked at Lin Su strangely. Only then did Lin Su realize his gaffe, smiled bitterly, avoided his eyes, and whispered, "In this harem, many people are willing to cook soup for the emperor. My concubine is just one of them, and I dare not spoil the holy front.
"What you said," Si Yu loosened Lin Su's hand. Lin Su only felt a trace of loss slipping from her heart. Before she could think about it, her chin was gently pinched up. She was forced to look at Si Yu. Si Yu's face was full of a playful smile, "My concubine, what you said was insincere!"
Lin Su lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at Si Yu's dark eyes. His chin trembled slightly and made a faint sound.
"Concubine, concubine..."
"Okay, you don't have to explain. I understand." Si Yu put down his hand and turned around and walked forward. Lin Su hesitated for a moment before following him.
What does the emperor understand?
I know that it's really difficult for you to take care of Lan Concubine. However, you should have also guessed the identity of Concubine Lan. If you put her elsewhere, I'm worried about what kind of moth she will have with the Empress Dowager Lan. Si Yu's voice was faint and there was no ups and downs.
However, Lin Su was stunned when she heard this. She slowly stopped and looked at the back of the man in front of her in surprise.
This is the highest person in the whole country, above tens of thousands of people. And this proud man now seems to be explaining something to her.
Although all this is a misunderstanding, such an explanation...
Lin Su only felt sour and astringent in her heart, and suddenly she had an impulse to cry.
No, she couldn't even control her emotions. Before she could figure out the sudden emotional change, tears gushed out of her eyes like a spring and slipped down her face.
Si Yue heard that there was no movement behind him, so he turned back awkwardly, but he happened to see the crystal tears on Lin Su's face through the dim yellow light on the corridor. He was a little stunned, and then he understood it again. He couldn't help showing a smile and turned back to Lin Su's side and gently hugged her in his arms.
"Stupid girl, what are you crying about?"
