"I heard that there is a girl next to you who is very good at cooking. ”

Empress Dowager Guo raised her eyes and looked at the girl standing behind Gu Yanling, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly: "It's called-Jiang Zhu, right." ”

Gu Yanling's eyes drooped slightly, and Empress Dowager Guo knew everything about the people around her.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Jiang Zhu has some cooking skills among the courtiers, but it is far from the imperial kitchen in the palace. It is her blessing to be praised by the Queen Mother. ”

Empress Dowager Guo's eyes slid slightly, and she opened her lips kindly: "The reason why the mourning family called you to the palace to tell you to bring this girl is also for a reason." ”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Guo stroked her forehead with some distress, looked at the girl under the seat and said: "The mourning family has been thinking about eating and drinking for some reason recently, and the imperial doctors have also seen it. ”

Gu Yanling didn't say anything when he heard this, and only the next moment he heard the Empress Dowager Guo above say: "The mourning family suddenly wants to taste the food made by your girl, how about it." ”

Empress Dowager Guo stared at Gu Yanling quietly, only to see that the girl did not have the slightest abnormality, but said quietly and respectfully: "The food made by Jiang Zhu is vulgar, I dare not compare with the imperial dining room, the Queen Mother is a noble golden body, where does Jiang Zhu dare to serve the Queen Mother's diet." ”

As soon as the words fell, Empress Dowager Guo was neither angry nor annoyed, she only smiled and shook her head, and then moved slightly, and the palace maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help her put on her shoes.

"People, sometimes I want to be greedy for freshness, although the imperial dining room is good, the mourning family has been tired of eating it for so many years, isn't it that the mourning family can't eat what you make a girl?"

Empress Dowager Guo seemed to have a light tone, but in the end, she was a little tough and cold.

Gu Yanling stood up when she heard this, and said with a kind bow: "The courtiers don't dare, and I hope that the Queen Mother will forgive her sins." ”

At this moment, she knew that as a princess, it was difficult to compete with the Empress Dowager Guo, who was on the throne, and all she could do was to delay time.

Empress Dowager Guo seemed to see her intentions at this moment, the corners of her lips grinned slightly, and then she said: "In this case, the mourning family is waiting for the girl's craftsmanship, if it is good, the mourning family will reward it." ”

The girl under the seat frowned slightly when she heard this, but Empress Dowager Guo had already leisurely glanced at Mama Yu beside her and said, "Take people to the small kitchen, whatever you need, you have everything ready." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mama Yu hurriedly answered, and walked down quickly, so that the girl on the side couldn't speak.

……

And this car, Yan Weizhang, who had gone to the antique shop twice, was on his way home, the carriage was driving smoothly, the car was all available, and the smell of the stove and incense was mixed together, making people drowsy.

I don't know how long it took, a voice suddenly came from my ears, interrupting Yan Weizhang's sleep.

"Sir—"

Yan Weizhang opened his eyes tiredly, and said unhurriedly: "Have you arrived?"

As he spoke, Yan Weizhang was about to lean over to lift the curtain of the car, but he heard the housekeeper accompanying him outside the car say: "Back to the master, not yet, but someone just handed something to the little one, as if it was for you." ”

Yan Weizhang Fang was awakened, and his eyes, which were originally a little foggy, lit up, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Take it in." ”

When a folded note appeared from behind the car curtain, Yan Weizhang took it over, and when he opened it, his eyes moved slightly, and then gradually calmed down, he gently grasped the note in his hand, pinched the note into a ball and held it in his hand, and said in a low voice the next moment: "Go to Jiyue Tower." ”

Jiyue Tower was not far from where Yan Weizhang was now, but after a while, the carriage stopped, and the housekeeper outside the car hurriedly set up a footstool, bent down and said respectfully: "Master, it's here." ”

Yan Weizhang said "um" from the car, then tidied up his clothes, lifted the curtain and got out of the car, when he saw Ji Yuelou, who had excellent business in front of him, he only glanced left and right plainly, and then he took off his robe and walked straight to the room written on the note.

"Yan Ge Lao—"

Looking at Xide guarding outside the door, Yan Weizhang's eyes showed a consistent smile.

Xide pushed the door open, Yan Weizhang walked in without any worries, the door closed again, and Xide still stood in front of the door, motionless.

When I turned to the back room, I saw a young man dressed in plain blue clothes, sitting indifferently by the window, holding a teacup in his hand, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Your Highness. ”

Hearing the voice, the young man moved slightly, and smiled sideways like a warm sunshine.

"Elder Ge, please be seated. ”

Although Xiao Yan said this, Yan Weizhang still bowed his hand politely, and then stepped forward to take off his robe and sit down.

"Whoa-" With a sound, Xiao Yan personally poured a cup of tea from the pot, and pushed the red teacup in the glaze in front of Yan Weizhang, with a slight side of his right hand and a gentle smile floating on his lips.

"Ge Lao tastes this precious cloud. ”

Yan Weizhang held the teacup with both hands to show his gratitude: "His Royal Highness Lao personally poured the tea, and the minister was terrified. ”

Although he said this, Yan Weizhang had already respectfully held the bottom of the cup with his left hand, and handed the tea to his mouth with his right hand, Fang took a sip, Yan Weizhang's expression changed slightly, but he still drank it calmly.

"What does the elder think. ”

Looking at the young man's inquiring eyes, Yan Weizhang seemed to realize something, smiled slightly, and his beard shook slightly.

"The tea is very good, but it is a little cold, and it lacks a little taste. ”

Xiao Yan smiled lightly, turning the teacup slightly in his hand, and the bottom of the cup rubbed against the table for a while, which seemed a little abrupt in the silent room.

"Elder Ge is right, this person should leave, the tea should be cool, but-"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly, couldn't help laughing, raised his eyes, couldn't see that he was serious or serious, and only added lightly.

Although Zhang Ge left this time, the tea was not cold, but it was still a little hot. ”

Hearing this, Yan Weizhang's always smiling eyes flashed with a trace of worry, he knew that Xiao Yan on the other side was right, he didn't expect that he finally drove Zhang Huaizong off the stage, but the people who used to be the first assistant party are still arrogant, even the cabinet, now among the four people, two of them are his Zhang Huaizong's cronies, and one is a peacemaker who cannot be offended on both sides, but he is the first assistant to be there.

He underestimated the old fellow.

"It's a mistake on the part of the minister. ”

Hearing a sentence from the other side, Xiao Yan smiled indifferently and said: "I have been a pavilion elder for thirty years, a first assistant for more than ten years, and there are many protégés of Zhang Ge, and if it is not something that can be changed by external forces, the pavilion elder does not have to blame himself." ”

When Yan Weizhang heard this, his eyes raised slightly, and he lowered his voice a few points and said: "The minister is old and dull, His Royal Highness is wise and martial, it seems that he has a strategy to fall into the sea." ”

Xiao Yan hooked the corners of his lips noncommittally when he heard the voice, and then raised the teacup and handed it to his mouth, until the tea was drunk, Xiao Yan pushed a book in his hand in front of Yan Weizhang, and said in a calm voice: "This is a collection of essays written by Huguang Xuezheng after his father ascended the throne, I have read a few of them, and he is indeed a rare talent, even Zhang Ge Lao once wrote a preface for him, Yan Ge Lao might as well go back and take a look, it will definitely be beneficial." ”

When Yan Weizhang heard this, his eyes fell on the anthology.

"Water Collection"

Xiao Yan on the opposite side leisurely tasted tea with his back straight, looking at Yan Weizhang who was deep in thought, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.

He knew that a storm was coming again.
