Chapter 522: Five cooked kettles, dissolving all flavors
Mo Yao said that he was sick, so he had more reasons not to see the guests, for three days, the door of the Duanjin Palace's mansion was closed, and whoever came to the door to ask for a meeting, the housekeeper said that the prince was weak in his illness and was not suitable to see guests.

However, Mo Yao's illness came too suddenly, and everyone naturally couldn't help but be suspicious.
But because the emperor said that he would not be allowed to disturb Prince Duanjin at will to recuperate, the officials who came to see him wanted to go in to find out, and under the courteous persuasion of the housekeeper and the emperor's secret support, they had to leave in a huff.
In fact, Mo Yao, who was weak in the mouthful of the housekeeper in "typhoid fever", was now staying in Mu Qiubai's private house, eating hot pot with his friends.
There was a spring rain before, and the weather turned cooler, which seemed to be quite a bit of a spring cold.
Mo Yao said that he was sick and did not go to the court, and did not see outsiders, and everything in the house was handed over to the housekeeper to take care of, and this morning the housekeeper reported that Zhuangzi sent some mushrooms and game, and fresh vegetables in the spring, and it was best to eat hot pot.
Mo Yao suddenly became interested, asked the housekeeper to prepare all the things needed to eat the pot, dressed up in disguise, and sneaked out of the back door of the palace with a few secret guards such as Yezhi.
The housekeeper couldn't stop him, so he could only stay alone to deal with the "adults" who didn't give up, didn't have the eyesight, and always came to the door to ask for a meeting.
Mu Qiubai's private house is not far from the shop, and if Mu Qiubai wants to go back to the private house on weekdays, he only needs to walk a little way to get there.
Mu Qiubai was the first to get the news, and he hurriedly cleaned up the shop, and explained a few henchmen to guard the shop, and he left from the backyard door and returned to the private house, waiting for Mo Yao to come.
About two quarters of an hour later, Mo Yao's car drove outside the Mufu Gate.
Mingli was guarding the door, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly beckoned the two janitors to remove the threshold and welcome Mo Yao's carriage in.
Mu Qiubai rushed over when he heard the news, and greeted him first.
Mo Yao lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, pointed at Mingli and said with a smile: "Mingli is more and more eye-catching now, it can be seen that your young master teaches well." ”
Mingli bowed down and replied, "The young master has explained, and you must be dedicated to serving the prince." ”
Mu Qiubai smiled, turned sideways to welcome Mo Yao in, and instructed Mingli to wait outside the door to greet the other guests.
Mingli responded crisply, turned around and walked out of the house again.
Mu Qiubai led Mo Yao and Ye Zhi inside.
The little guys behind him followed with a bunch of things, and the group bypassed the rainproof corridor and entered the inner courtyard.
Mu Qiubai greeted Mo Yao on the throne, and then led the servants to place all the things that Mo Yao brought over.
"The prince came over with a five-cooked kettle, presumably to eat different flavors of pots, I don't know what the prince has to like, Qiubai can also explain the kitchen to prepare." Mu Qiubai poured Mo Yao a cup of tea and asked.
Mo Yao smiled, "This five-cooked kettle, naturally it is interesting to eat with more flavors, you just ask them to prepare according to the number of lattices, let's get together in private, there are not so many rules, that is, they will all come over later, there are all kinds of flavors here, and they are not afraid of being inconsiderate." ”
"What the prince said is very true, then Qiubai will explain it and let them prepare like this." Mu Qiubai responded to Mo Yao's words with a smile, turned around and explained a few words to the housekeeper in the house, and then came back to drink tea and talk with Mo Yao.
The two of them just chatted about some miscellaneous matters, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
As he was talking, he saw Mingli bring Shangguan Yin and Du Ruo, Luo Qingchen and Shen Jingshi and his wife, as well as Luo Qingran and Luo Wenjun sisters.
Mu Qiubai hurriedly got up to greet him, Mo Yao and Ye Zhi also stood up, and everyone greeted each other warmly before sitting around the fireplace.
Except for Luo Wenjun, everyone else here was invited by Mo Yao, but Mo Yao didn't say anything when he saw Luo Wenjun coming, and there was no unhappiness on his face.
Mu Qiubai, who invited someone to come over, explained, "I heard that Miss Luo San came to visit Aunt Hong today, and I heard Miss Luo San say that I miss Miss Luo when we met a few days ago, Qiu Bai thought that I was not far from the prince's house, so he took it upon himself to invite Miss Luo San to come together, and I hope the prince will not mind." ”
The corners of Mo Yao's mouth were hooked, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Is this king such a stingy person?" ”
Mu Qiubai clenched his fists and replied with a smile: "The prince is magnanimous, naturally he is not such a stingy person, Qiubai is just to explain, but he is also afraid that Miss Luo San will be uncomfortable." ”
Everyone laughed.
They have long been familiar with each other, and they usually make some jokes with each other to adjust the atmosphere.
Mo Yao usually doesn't have a good attitude, but in front of them, he deliberately shows an approachable appearance, and he is also really close to them, and everyone can naturally feel it.
Although there is inevitably a reason for Luo Qingran, but since they recognize each other as friends, no one cares about these, they are only sincere friends, and they are called gentlemen.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the butler brought someone to bring the prepared soup base and various side sauces.
When the five-cooked kettle sitting on the charcoal stove in the middle was filled with several different soup bases, all of a sudden, everyone felt a thick fresh fragrance filling their noses, which was really tempting.
The charcoal fire burned enough, and the soup in the five-cooked kettle soon boiled, and the heat rushed up, hooking everyone's fingertips and mouths.
Mo Yao raised the wine cup and let a glass first, everyone raised their glasses and made peace, and when a cup of fruit was brewed, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.
The best thing about hot pot is that it can dissolve all kinds of flavors, and it can take care of people with different tastes, and everyone can eat whatever they like.
Besides, the big guy eats together from the same pot, which invisibly adds a sense of intimacy.
It was the first time for Luo Wenjun to eat at the same table with Mo Yao, and she was a little restrained, until Luo Qingran sandwiched a few dishes for her that she liked to eat, and she gradually relaxed.
In fact, this is not to blame Luo Wenjun, not to mention that she did not eat at the same table with Mo Yao as "unruly", that is, in the past, in Luofu, and now in Luosheng Mansion, there is no such thing as everyone eating with the same vessel.
The more aristocratic everyone is, the more they pay attention to the rules, on weekdays, everyone eats at one table, and the dishes are all eaten by the maids with chopsticks, how can it be like now, everyone goes to a pot to get food?
I'm afraid that if someone else sees it, they must say that they are unruly......
But this leader was unruly, but the noble and peerless prince who was sitting on the top seat, Luo Wenjun secretly glanced at it, and happened to see Mo Yao's eyes facing her, so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to look at it again.
Oh no, the prince won't think she's disrespectful, right? Luo Wenjun lowered his head and thought wildly.
