Chapter IV

As soon as the sky was bright, there was a burst of aroma wafting from the kitchen of the Prince's Mansion on East Street.

Lin Sansi had been around the stove all morning, and Granny Rong told her that among the three meals a day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued breakfast the most, and for this reason, Lin Sansi spent a lot of thought on breakfast.

Lin Sansi learned from Mrs. Rong that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince prefers to eat millet porridge, red bean porridge, and mung bean porridge for breakfast, which is relatively simple and easy to make, but the matching dishes are a little complicated, such as pearl balls, stir-fried lotus root slices, Beijing sauce duck, white chopped chicken, West Lake vinegar fish, etc., which is quite time-consuming, in order to make the food not lose its umami, Lin Sansi usually gets up and leaves after His Royal Highness, and rushes to the kitchen to start preparing, but last night was almost a night, and she got up a little late in the morning, and when she arrived at the kitchen, she felt that the time was not enough.

First mung bean porridge, Lin Sansi first scooped a small handful of white rice and put it in the pot, sprinkled some mung beans, and then boiled it over a warm fire; Then there are pearl balls, Jiangmi has been soaked in cold water last night, and the pork is also newly sent yesterday, she washes and chops the pork and mixes it with cooking wine, egg whites and other condiments, and then makes it into the shape of a ball, wraps it in a layer of Jiang rice, and puts it on the steamer to steam slowly; When making pearl balls, there were still a lot of fillings left that were not used, and there were a lot of fresh tender lotus roots, so Lin Sansi temporarily replaced the fried lotus root slices with golden crispy lotus root clips! First, wash the lotus root, then cut it into a large piece that is not thin or thick, then cut this large piece from the middle, stop the knife when it is cut to 80%, stuff it with meat filling, and then wrap it with egg white flour mixed in advance, put it into the oil pan and fry it, and then take it out and wait for the surface of the lotus root to be golden brown.

Lin Sansi cut the lotus root, while taking care of the rice porridge and pearl balls in the pot, without paying attention, the knife cut on the finger, the bright red blood flowed out instantly, ten fingers connected to the heart, the tears in the pain swirled in the eye sockets, seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, she didn't dare to delay more, found a clean gauze to wrap around her fingers, and continued to cook, fortunately, the injury was not very deep, although the gauze was soaked in some red blood stains, but the blood from the wound also stopped.

The location of the kitchen of the Prince's Mansion is selected in advance, very close to the dining room, through a corridor, a gazebo, the kitchen window is facing the main entrance of the dining room and the gazebo, standing in front of the window, you can see the gazebo and the dining room door at a glance, because the weather is hot, and there is no one else in the Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness the Prince changed the dining location from the dining room to the pavilion, which is transparent in all directions, which is not bad, the most important thing is that Lin Sansi doesn't even have to remember the meal time, as long as Huo Yi sits there in the pavilion, she can serve the food.

Huo Yi just sat down in the pavilion, and the golden crisp lotus root clip happened to come out of the pot, the time was not too early or too late, Lin Sansi's nervous heart finally let go! She took a bowl of mung bean porridge, put six golden crispy lotus root clips, four pearl balls, a small plate of sauerkraut, and a small plate of salted duck eggs, and walked towards the pavilion with a silver plate.

Bringing the food out of the silver plate and placing it in front of Huo Yi one by one, Lin Sansi took two steps back with the silver plate and waited in the corner of the pavilion, at this time her close-fitting clothes were already soaked, and a few strands of sweat on her forehead were also wet and sticking to her forehead, and the whole person didn't look very good.

On the other hand, Huo Yi is particularly refreshed today, although he is wearing a snow-white gown, but there is an extra layer of chic Su embroidery on the neckline and sleeves, which makes him suave and noble.

Huo Yi seemed to be in a good mood, and he talked a little more than usual, glanced at a few dishes in front of him, a trace of complicated feelings flashed in his eyes, and he pointed to one of them and asked, "What is this?" ”

Lin Sansi took a step forward and replied, "Back to Your Highness, this is the Golden Crisp Lotus Clip." ”

When Huo Yi heard this, his eyes swept over Lin Sansi's face, and his voice was indifferent as usual: "You did it?" ”

Lin Sansi nodded: "I did it." ”

Huo Yi didn't speak again, and ate a few bites of mung bean porridge and vegetables, but the chopsticks never moved to the golden crispy lotus root clip. When Lin Sansi saw this scene, he was anxious on the side, when this golden crispy lotus root clip just came out of the oil pot, it was crispy and crispy, and it would become soft after a while, and the taste would be much worse!

But in a hurry, Lin Sansi couldn't directly open his mouth and let His Highness eat the golden crispy lotus root clip she made! Seeing that only half a bowl of mung bean porridge was left, if I didn't open my mouth, the golden crispy lotus root clip was made in vain! Lin Sansi was in a hurry, pointed to the golden crisp lotus root clip, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, you taste the golden ......"

As soon as the words came out, Lin Sansi saw Huo Yi's chopsticks stretched out to the plate of the golden crisp lotus clip, and grabbed a piece of golden crisp lotus clip, and then paused, his eyes moved to her face, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and a voice like a musical instrument spit out from his thin lips: "What did you say?" ”

Lin Sansi's voice stopped abruptly, slowly withdrew his hand, swallowed the words back into his stomach, and changed his words awkwardly: "Jin...... The weather is so nice today! ”

Somewhere in Huo Yi's heart seemed to be scratched by something, a smile flashed in her cold eyes, and in an instant, the whole pavilion was warm, Lin Sansi was stunned, she had never seen Huo Yi smile like that since she entered the mansion for so many days, when she came back to her senses, those eyes were indifferent and profound, so that people could not see the bottom at a glance.

Lin Sansi thought it was not an illusion, reached out and rubbed his eyes, but Huo Yi's voice came from his ears: "You wash and come over for breakfast." After a pause, he said lightly: "There is no one else in the house." ”

"Huh?" Lin Sansi tilted his head and looked at Huo Yi, as if he hadn't heard clearly.

Huo Yi has always been indifferent, and he doesn't want to repeat everything a second time, as soon as Lin Sansi asked, he was a little impatient, and said, "You should look at your face." Huo Yi's words always stopped at the point, and after speaking, he stopped looking at Lin Sansi, and picked up another piece of golden crisp lotus root clip by himself.

Lin Sansi returned to the room as fast as he could, picked up the mirror and looked at it, startling himself, his right cheek didn't know when he wiped the bottom of the pot on his face, and it was pitch black......

Lin Sansi hurriedly washed her face, thinking that Huo Yi should be busy after eating, and she didn't have to rush back to the pavilion, so she took a shower, changed into clean clothes and returned to the pavilion, and found that Huo Yi hadn't left! Didn't go! Under the early sun, in the pavilion, he stood with his hands in his hands, the morning breeze blew his black hair and snow-white robe, his black eyes were like ink and paint, and the beauty was like a painting, which made people unbearable to break.

Huo Yi turned his head and saw Lin Sansi standing at the foot of the stone steps of the pavilion, his eyes narrowed slightly, his sharp gaze converged, and he said lightly: "It's here." ”

Lin Sansi was a little flattered and hurriedly trotted over. "I'm sorry, Your Highness, my clothes were sweaty, so I took a shower......" After speaking, he felt that it didn't seem good to explain to a man like this, so he stopped his mouth in embarrassment. I'll clean it up now. ”

Huo Yi glanced at her, his indifferent gaze swept over her left hand, and said lightly: "After breakfast, come to the study." Then he walked away.

Lin Sansi was stunned in place, and he only felt very strange in his heart, didn't His Highness stay here to see the scenery? Shouldn't it be just to tell her to let her go to the study?

Could it be that she did something wrong again?

Lin Sansi sat on the seat, and saw that only two of the six golden crisp lotus clips on the plate were left, and he felt very satisfied, it seems that His Royal Highness is very appreciative of her craftsmanship, as the saying goes, if she grabs a man's stomach, she will capture a man's heart, Her Highness's heart is not uncommon, she wants his power!
