It was almost lunch time when Qi You and Qi Zhe rushed to the military department this morning, Qi You instructed Qi Zhe to read the official document for a while and then went out of the military department to eat together, because there was an hour of rest and usage time, Qi Zhe begged Qi You to take him to eat some good food, these days to integrate, so Qi Zhe and the people in the yamen eat together, the food of this yamen is like that, Qi Zhe, who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, felt novel at first, and it is inevitable that it will be a little greasy to eat too much, Isn't this just asking Qi You to take him to eat something good.

Qi Zhe whispered to Qi You, "Second brother, can you eat something different today?" Why don't you go to my brother? ”

"Why are you tired of eating?" Qi You asked.

"Aren't you tired, there are only a few dishes in this yamen, and I will cook them after a few meals." Qi Zhe sighed and said: "Besides, didn't you see the eyes of those officials who saw us today, eighty percent of them know about today's early dynasty, and you won't be afraid of them surrounding you and asking for a while?" ”

Qi You glanced at Qi Zhe and said, "If you want to eat well, just say it, don't talk about me." ”

"Hehe, second brother, I really mean it, we'd better eat outside." Qi Zhen nodded to Qi Youdao.

Qi You looked sideways and sure enough, a few officials were secretly looking at him, and when he saw him, he quickly lowered his head and dispersed, and he didn't want to be troubled, so he had to say: "Okay, let's go out to eat today, but it's just today." ”

Qi Zhe squinted his eyes happily and said, "Okay, anyway, it's a meal that can be eaten." ”

Qi You twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, the transformation of these five brothers still has a long way to go.

Qi Zhe is also a smart guy, he really just slaughtered Qi You with a full mouth, and then there is no leech Brother Lan will sue him directly if he wants, since the second brother doesn't say it, there is naturally a reason why he can't let himself know, he won't ask······

On this day, the officials of the capital all knew about the events of the early dynasty today, and everyone was in danger, and they were more conscientious and conscientious, for fear that there would be any mistakes for the emperor to catch and deal with it, Emperor Qi Wen has always been a very gentle image, and the means are relatively benevolent, and he rarely kills anyone, but within this day, six high-ranking officials were executed, and it was really surprising to denounce more than ten officials.

When Prime Minister Liu returned home and asked people to close the door of the house and refuse to accept a visitor, he himself went into the study and stayed for an afternoon, and in the evening came the news that Prime Minister Liu Chengxiang was suddenly sick and bedridden.

When Emperor Qi Wen heard the news, he just smiled coldly and said, "Since he is sick and bedridden, let him take care of it at home." On the one hand, he is indeed very good at governance, on the other hand, he is also the queen's brother, Qi You's father-in-law, Emperor Qi Wen is unwilling to tear the relationship between them so quickly, although he knows that Liu Ba must be involved in the affairs of the northwest, but there is no strong evidence, and Emperor Qi Wen had to deal with several of Liu Ba's protégés as a warning.

But Liu Ba is also smart, this illness came quite timely, I don't know what the queen will think of her good brother when she knows about it.

The queen is also calm, she knows that her brother has been in the limelight too much in recent years, and the emperor has hinted many times, but her brother's heart is growing stronger and more and can't listen to her words, it is a matter of time before there is such a situation, fortunately, my brother woke up at a critical moment, and it is a good thing to be sick now.

The princess in the Yongwang Mansion was very anxious after learning the news, and rushed back to Liu's Mansion overnight to visit, Qi You and Qi Zhe got the news that the princess went out of the house to visit Liu Chengxiang when they returned to the palace after handling their official business, Qi You asked: "Do you know when your mother can come back?" ”

The maid replied: "This slave doesn't know, the mother just told the slave and maid to wait for the prince to come back and tell the prince." ”

Qi You frowned and waved his hand to let the maid go down, and Qi Zhe asked, "Second brother, is Prime Minister Liu a little sick." ”

Qi You said with a cold face: "Hmph, that's just right, let's go, could it be that you're full at noon, aren't you hungry now?" ”

Qi Zhe immediately smiled: "Hungry, how can you not be hungry." ”

Qi You patted Qi Zhe on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, go back to the study to eat." ”

Because the princess was not there, the kitchen only prepared a meal, and as soon as this dish was put on the table, Qi You just took a bite and frowned and asked, "How long has this dish been hot?" ”

The little guy on the side said: "It's been about two more hours, and the prince and the fifth master are back late today, and the dishes have been hot there." ”

Qi Zhe also grabbed a pair of chopsticks and said, "No, this dish is a little sour." ”

Qi You said angrily: "Let's all withdraw!" Ask who is on duty in the kitchen today, and dare to bring such a dish, when this king has no temper, right, tell everyone in the kitchen to kneel for me, and no one is allowed to get up and rest without this king. Qi You was a little complaining about the princess in her heart, this kitchen matter made her manage like this, dare to fool with the rancid food today, will she dare to put some medicine in the meal tomorrow.

Qi Zhe pouted and said, "Second brother, you let the people in the kitchen kneel, what are we going to eat?" ”

Qi You didn't know why he remembered Xibao, the little girl who loved to eat very much, she should have some food, Qi You said to Qi Zhe: "How can you still be hungry, go, my brother will take you to Zhao's." ”

Qi Zhe said strangely: "That little concubine Zhao ... Something, she's going to have it. ”

"Let's go, there are so many words, don't go if you don't want to eat." Qi You gave him a blank look and said.

"Go, go, don't be angry." Qi Zhe followed Qi You towards Yunshui Garden.

Xibao was tinkering with something in the courtyard, and it was useless for dinner, so Mama said cautiously on the side: "Master, let's let the slave come, this hot oil and hot soup are not a joke in case they spill out." ”

Xi Bao wore an apron and carefully stirred the soup in the copper pot with a spoon, and the heat that came out made Xi Bao also blush, and she said while wiping her sweat with a handkerchief: "Mama is ready for the charcoal fire, right?" ”

"Okay, okay, it's all ready, all those dishes are ready." Mama Mo was really worried: "The master is almost there, the slave and maid will ask someone to bring it out." ”

Xibao stopped his hand, looked at it and sniffed it, and said, "It should be okay, ask someone to bring it to the charcoal stove in the house." ”

Wait for the copper pot to be placed on the charcoal stove only to find that Xibao is going to eat hot pot, this hot pot is a delicacy of the folk New Year, in previous years, Xibao will definitely go out with the eldest brother and the second brother to eat a few meals, this to the palace is not so free, it seems that you can only do it yourself, Xibao sent someone out to buy hot pot soup and boiled beef bone soup in the small kitchen, which made people deal with all kinds of hot pot ingredients, tossed before and after more than two hours before it was ready, was about to start when I heard a burst of please outside, Xibao wondered how this came back, It's not a meal and it's not bedtime yet, I don't think I've brought the five princes.

Xibao had no choice but to put down the chopsticks he had just picked up and got up to greet him: "Say hello to the prince, I have seen the five princes." ”

Qi You politely helped Xibao up and said with a smile: "Why is there such a sweat." ”

Xibao smiled: "Well, it's hot." ”

"Little sister-in-law, why do I smell a good smell, like beef bone soup." Qi Zhe said with an effort to sniff.

Xibao said in his heart: It's really a dog's nose, and you can smell the smell of cow bones. But Tai's face was smiling and said to Qi Zhe: "Yes, the fifth master's nose is really smart, and I am about to eat hot pot." ”

"Hot pot, it's too late, hehe, I haven't eaten yet." Qi Zhe drowned his saliva.

Xibao asked suspiciously: "Did you come back with the fifth prince, why haven't you eaten yet?" ”

Qi You glanced at the fifth brother who had no interest and said with a smile: "It's late to come back, it's useless, why don't you just use the meal." ”

Xibao smiled: "The hot pot that the concubine made by herself took some time, just right, if you don't dislike it, you can use it together." ”

Before Qi You could reply, Qi Zhe rushed to say: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, sister-in-law, it's good if you don't dislike me." ”

Xibao twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, these five princes are really confused, Xibao had to lead the two of them to the table and sit down and said: "This has just been burned, the master and the fifth master will sit down and use some first, and I will tell the kitchen to prepare more dishes." ”

At the time of this sentence, Qi Zhe was already a chopsticks and mutton, and his belly was so beautiful that he narrowed his eyes, and he said while continuing to rub the meat: "Little sister-in-law, your hot pot is really delicious, cut more meat." ”

Can it be delicious, Xibao bought the most authentic ingredients and boiled it for two hours.

Xibao smiled: "Okay, prepare more meat and vegetables, Fifth Master, you should be slow and scalded carefully." ”

Qi You's movements are much more elegant, unlike Qi Zhe who ate a mouth full of sauce, Qi You was also amazed by the taste of this hot pot, he didn't eat hot pot often After all, he always felt that it was not an elegant food, but he felt very good to be able to eat like this at home today.

Xibao also sat at the table and ate slowly, occasionally helping Qi You to eat shabu-shabu and said, "Master, it's easy to digest with some vegetables." ”

Qi Zhe was also a scoundrel and said: "Little sister-in-law, it's wrong for you to do this, I'm eating it too." ”

Xibao looked at Qi Zhe with a childish appearance, and had no choice but to clip a chopstick cabbage for him and said, "Yes, the fifth master also needs to eat some vegetables." ”

Qi Zhe sucked the cabbage into his mouth and said with satisfaction: "Hehe, it's still my sister-in-law who cares about people." ”

Qi You gave him a chopstick mutton and said, "So much meat can't stop your mouth, hurry up and eat it." He turned his head and gave Xibao another chopstick and said, "You also eat some meat, the hot pot meat is still relatively fragrant." ”

Xibao nodded shyly, "Hmm." "Actually, what Xibao was thinking in her heart was: I also want to eat meat, you see that the fifth prince can't wait for the meat to be all his, woo woo, this is the little lamb she finally got with great difficulty, and it looks like it is about to be finished by Qi Zhe. Xibao is really distressed.

Seeing that the three of them were chatting happily while eating, Mama Mo took the initiative to warm up a pot of wine and sent it over, saying, "Lord, the master ordered the slave to prepare the wine." ”

Xibao looked at Mama Mo and admired it very much: Mama, when will I let you serve wine.

Qi Zhe naturally took the wine and poured himself a glass first, took a sip and said, "Ouch, tsk, well, ah... Or the best flower carving. ”

Qi You smiled when he heard this: "You, when can I use the ability of wine and food appreciation to official business, I won't worry." ”

Qi Zhe smiled flatteringly: "Second brother, it's really a good wine for you to taste." ”

Xibao's heart hurt and bleed: Mama, that's the best flower carving that has been married to me for more than 30 years, why did you just take it out, hey·····
