After raising the wine flag, Ruchun Restaurant's business has indeed improved a lot.

Imperial Chef is indeed very attractive to ordinary people. As for ordinary restaurants, they also want to use this as a gift, but they just pretend to be the Imperial Chef's master or uncle. God knows what trouble will cause, but Ruchun Restaurant is different, because Qin Shou is the official Imperial Chef's uncle, so Ruchun Restaurant has the confidence.

There were only a few people who came to try it out, but soon they found that the dishes here had a unique flavor, one to ten, ten to one hundred, and the Ruchun Restaurant was filled with guests.

Qin Shaoyou no longer has the heart to worry about anything else. He did not cook and cook in person. After teaching Qin Shou for so long, he naturally became a hand-off manager and handed over this important task to Qin Shou.

Deng Jian was responsible for running the hall, but his appearance was too fierce, which made Qin Shaoyou very dissatisfied.

No matter how dissatisfied you are, saving money is the most important thing. Starting a business is difficult, and money should be spent on the edge.

The business finally got on track, which made Qin Shaoyou feel relieved, but his heart still fell in the palace. He was very depressed. Half a month has passed, why is there no news in the palace? Could it be that his porridge and pineapple eggs are not enough to touch people's hearts?

So the young master began to feel depressed. Whenever the sky faded, the diners left one after another. He hurriedly settled the bill in front of the counter, carefully collected the surplus, and then returned to his room depressedly, opened the window, looked at the dim sky outside the window, facing the hook-like silver moon, the night wind stroked the osmanthus tree outside the window, and then began to enter the resentment mode.

"I don't see the ancients in front of me, and I don't see the coming from behind. I think of the vastness of the world, and I cry out in my heart..."

"The Xuan Office seeks talents and visits to expel ministers, and Jia Sheng's talent is even more incompetent. It's a pity that the seat is empty in the middle of the night, and he doesn't ask the heavens and ghosts..."

Depressed...

Qin Shaoyou felt a faint sadness. If there was no plaque and if Wu Zetian had not visited, Qin Shaoyou's ideal might have been to continue to maintain the restaurant. Xiaofu was at ease, so he found a wife, took two concubines, and happily became a little boss. But when life changed, his ambitions became greater, and he was a little inflamed. When everything turned into a bubble, he began to feel lost again.

Qin Shou has been cooking hard every day and has been having a lot of fun. He has not paid attention to his cousin's mental state, but Deng Jian found something strange because he found that the young master was more stingy than before, with a very bad attitude. Sometimes he lost his temper for no reason, as if he had a menstrual period, but this menstrual period has been around for too long.

……………………

In Changming Palace.

The sky was already dark, and countless purple palace lanterns were slowly illuminating the hall.

As usual at this time, Wu Zetian always wore a loose gauze skirt, half leaning on the couch, and resting on her head with a bright red silk pillow. When she lay on her side, a layer of gauze just slightly covered her body, half-covered and half-exposed, and the graceful curves of her body were fully revealed.

At this time, she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and Shangguan Wan'er sat slanted in front of the bed, her waist was pressed by Wu Zetian's lotus feet. There was a small red lacquer table in front of Shangguan Wan'er, and a phoenix-shaped candlestick was on the side. Shangguan Wan'er was holding a book "Huainanzi" to read aloud.

"The so-called invisible means one; the so-called one means one..."

She had been reading aloud for half an hour, and her mouth was dry, so she couldn't help but turn her beautiful eyes and glanced at Wu Zetian on the couch. Seeing Wu Zetian closing her eyes, she was ups and downs and was unmoved, so she couldn't help but whisper: "Do you should go to bed?"

Seeing that Wu Zetian did not respond, Shangguan Wan'er put down the book, tiptoed up, and said nodded to several palace ladies. These palace ladies knew that they wanted to come up and cover Wu Zetian with a thin quilt.

"Wan'er..." Wu Zetian suddenly opened his red lips slightly and murmured Shangguan Wan'er's name.

Shangguan Wan'er thought the emperor was already asleep, so she hurriedly said, "What are your instructions?"

Wu Zetian said: "I am thinking about something."

Shangguan Wan'er sat back in front of the couch and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty is still thinking about the rebellion case of Ren Zhigu, Si Li's minister Cui Xuanli, Luzhou governor Li Sizhen and others?"

Wu Zetian's mouth curled slightly, but his eyes did not open: "They... are just clowns, what can they do? To deal with them, I only need an imperial edict. What I think is Meng Xi..."

Meng Xi... Shangguan Wan'er remembered that Meng Xi mentioned half a month ago. Since returning to the palace, Your Majesty has not mentioned Qin Shaoyou at all, and Shangguan Wan'er thought Your Majesty had forgotten it.

In fact, this is a matter of course. As the emperor, he has to see so many people every day and read so much information from countless memorials. A small restaurant owner is insignificant and should not be left in the emperor's mind.

But now... His Majesty suddenly mentioned Meng Xi, which made Shangguan Wan'er slightly stunned: "I don't understand."

Wu Zetian sighed quietly and said, "I am thinking that Meng Xi was originally a barren land, but now it has become a land of fish and rice. I have ordered people to visit it. As Qin Shaoyou said, this is my good policy. But why did I not hear anyone mention it from the court? Instead, a common man knows it. I am thinking, are the civil and military ministers all blind, and they don't know it? Or do some people know it, but they never mention it. The wise and magical martial arts of Emperor Taizong every day are the wise and magical martial arts of Emperor Taizong. It's difficult to be a woman..."

Her sigh was like Qin Shaoyou, with a little resentment and even a little cynical.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't answer for a moment, so she had to say, "Your Majesty is so careless."

Wu Zetian frowned slightly and said, "This is not too much care. This is to care about himself. Especially for women who have reached my level, if they are a little confused, what will the end? I have observed that there are not many people available for civil and military affairs in the court, but they can be used. Most of them are not as elegant as the Tathagata ministers and Hou Sizhi, but Wan'er, it would be great if all women were allowed to be officials, which would save a lot of troubles."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled, her eyes flashed, and she said, "Not everyone is like the Holy Emperor."

Wu Zetian smiled and suddenly asked, "I still miss the porridge made by Qin Shaoyou. Let him go to the outer kitchen of Shangshi Province to make a staple food."

The imperial kitchen is divided into internal and external. The inner kitchen is mainly served by eunuchs, while the outer kitchen is a chef who attracts the world's name to the outside world. The official position of the staple food is not high, but it is just a small ninth rank. However, it is a rare honor for Qin Shaoyou and a grass-roots person.

Shangguan Wan'er said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, this Qin Shaoyou..."

"You just say it's okay."

Shangguan Wan'er said: "A few days ago, he got involved in a lawsuit and won by chance. Then he said something, and this sentence has spread."

Wu Zetian said casually, "Is that so? What's the matter?"

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Wu Zetian deeply and said, "Your Majesty, what he said is that everything is inferior, only those who study well."

“…”

Wu Zetian was still closing his eyes just now, but when he heard this, his delicate body couldn't help but be shocked.

She opened her eyes, and her eyes looked like a blade, and swept directly over Shangguan Wan'er: "How long have you been talking, how many people know?"

"I thought this sentence was interesting, so I spread it out. The entire capital of God is probably known to everyone."

"Is that true?"
