I got up early in the morning to prepare the base material for this hot pot at noon, and after a while, Wei Xiang Xia Chaoke was about to come over, boiled the base material in the kitchen, and instructed the cook to prepare the dishes, and raised my eyes to see the kitchen man lead a middle-aged woman in: "Just put it here, and go to the steward to get the money in a while." ”

Seeing someone coming, I laughed: "Aunt Zhou, you are here." ”

"Mrs. Yun!" Aunt Zhou owed a debt and said with a smile. I hurriedly stopped her: "No need to be so polite, let's go out and sit for a while." "After returning to Beijing, I sent someone to her to buy tofu, and also brought some gifts to Fusheng, knowing that I am the young lady of the Yun family, Aunt Zhou every time she sends tofu is said to be unsealed, I sent someone to tell her yesterday to ask for some fresh tofu today, she actually came in person.

"Mrs. Yun, every time you ask someone to come over to buy tofu, you have to bring a gift to Fusheng, it will spoil him." Aunt Zhou followed me out, complaining softly, "That kid is thinking about running to the Hou Mansion all day long, and his heart is wild." ”

I like to associate with people like Aunt Zhou, she doesn't grovel to me because my status suddenly becomes noble, this ordinary woman has her own self-esteem and persistence. I smiled: "If he likes to come, let him come, Jinsha likes to play with him very much, Jinsha doesn't have any friends here, it's good to let him have a company with Jinsha." By the way, Aunt Zhou, last time I said that Fusheng should be allowed to study in the academy, what did you think? ”

"Mrs. Yun, with a family like ours, it's good to be well fed and clothed, that kid is ambitious, not a material for reading." Aunt Zhou shook her head, but her tone was very resolute. I knew that she had some knots in her heart about her husband's affairs, and persuaded: "Auntie, if you are worried about money, you can let Fusheng come to the Hou Mansion to study, anyway, Mr. teaches Jinsha one person to teach, and teaching two people is also teaching, it will not cause any trouble, and learning to read and write will always have more benefits." ”

Aunt Zhou shook her head: "Mrs. Yun, I understand your kindness." It seems that she still refuses, I sighed, and it is not easy to persuade again, Yun Yi hurriedly ran over and said, "Madam, Wei Xiang has already arrived at the gate." ”

Aunt Zhou hurriedly said, "Mrs. Yun, you have guests, I'll go back first." I smiled and said, "I'm going out to meet him anyway, let's go out together." ”

As soon as I walked out of the atrium, Yun Zheng had already greeted Wei Xiang in, and when I saw the people next to Wei Xiang, I was slightly stunned, the emperor was dressed in civilian clothes and came with Wei Xiang. When he saw me stunned, he said with a smile: "Mrs. Ronghua, I heard that you are cooking your hometown dish today to invite Wei Xiang, I am not invited, Madame will not blame, right?" ”

I took a breath and put on a smile: "Childe is too polite, you can't invite a distinguished guest, how can a concubine be so ignorant." ”

Yun Zheng smiled: "Childe, Wei Xiang, please inside!" ”

The corners of the emperor's lips hooked slightly, and he walked past me without squinting, and walked straight inside. Wei nodded at me: "Mrs. Ronghua! ”

"Xiangye, please!" I stretched out my hand, and Wei Xiang followed Yun Zheng and the emperor inside. I turned to Aunt Zhou and said, "Aunt Zhou, I want to go in to accompany the guests, so I won't send you." ”

But seeing her looking at the background of Yun Zheng and his party in a daze, with doubts and shock on her face, I called her softly: "Aunt Zhou? Auntie? ”

"Huh?" She suddenly looked back, and her face was a little weird. I said with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Are you alright? ”

"Mrs. Yun? Who's that? Aunt Zhou's eyes were a little strange, Yun Zheng and they had already turned the round arch and disappeared, she was still looking over there in a daze.

"Who?" I felt a little strange in my heart, "You said the guest just now?" ”

"That, the older one, who is he?" Aunt Zhou turned her head to look at me, her face a little pale. My heart moved, stared at her face, and said slowly: "That's Wei Jinlan, the prime minister of the dynasty." ”

"Prime Minister?" She didn't seem to come back to her senses, but her face became more and more pale, and she muttered, "Prime Minister? ”

"Aunt Zhou, are you okay?" I saw that she looked frightened, her body was shaky, as if she was unsteady on her feet, and I quickly supported her. She grabbed my hand hard and squeezed my hand painfully: "Is he the prime minister of the court?" ”

"Yes! Does the aunt know him? "I had a vague guess in my mind. She turned her head abruptly and shook her head nervously: "I don't know, I don't know him!" I'm ......, Mrs. Yun, I'm going back......"

"Are you really okay?" I looked at her flustered expression, and my heart became more and more certain. She nodded: "I won't bother Madame, let's go first." ”

She turned and ran out, as if there was a ghost chasing her. I looked at her back, a smile on my lips, Lord Weixiang, maybe I know who you are. If you know that today's visit not only did not find out who I am, but let me find out the details of you, I wonder if I will regret it?

Stepping into the main hall, I saw Yun Zheng accompanying the emperor and Wei Xiang drinking tea, I smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I've kept you two waiting, the banquet is ready, please move the two distinguished guests to the flower hall." ”

When the emperor and Wei Xiang sat down, they saw the delicate boiler on the table steaming hot, and all kinds of meat and vegetarian dishes were placed on the table, Wei Xiang was surprised: "Is this the famous Cangdu hot pot?" ”

"Not bad." Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Neizi's hot pot restaurant is famous in Cangdu. ”

"Not to mention Cangdu, I have heard about it in the capital, and I can only see it today." Wei Xiang looked at the pot divided into two halves, half of which was red soup and half of which was fresh, and said with a smile: "This pot is special." ”

"It's called a mandarin duck pot." I smiled and said, "My grandson's diet is light, and the concubine doesn't know the tastes of the two distinguished guests, so I specially prepared two flavors of base ingredients for you to choose." ”

"Mandarin duck pot?" The emperor raised an eyebrow and gave me a faint look. I smiled and said, "What is Childe's preference?" The concubine will show you how. ”

"Spicy." He was succinct, and for some reason, I thought he seemed a little displeased. I didn't notice the surprised expressions of Yun Zheng and Wei Xiang, I took a piece of hairy belly and scalded it and put it in the oil dish in front of him: "Childe give it a try, but it's still appetizing?" ”

He picked up his hairy belly and ate it, and after a while, his face turned red, and he bit his lip without making a sound. Yun Zheng hurriedly said: "Ning'er, bring a cup of tea to the son, Xin'er, and serve a bowl of red wolfberry snow ear soup to the son." ”

I saw that the emperor took a sip of the tea brought by Ning'er, and I was a little surprised, it turned out that he didn't eat spicy food at all. Really, what can you not eat spicy? But no one dared to say half a word, and then scalded the vegetables for him, and I put them in the soup, and he had a gloomy face, but he didn't say no. The atmosphere was a little dull, Wei Xiang coughed, and said with a smile: "Madame's way of eating this hot pot is really unique." He can eat spicy food, I smiled: "It's good that Xiangye likes it." ”

"Mrs. Ronghua is really smart and generous, and she can go out of the kitchen." Wei Xiang said with a smile, "I heard that the embroidery village run by Mrs. in Cangdu is also unique. ”

It seems that the Prime Minister has already sent someone to Cangdu to check on me. I smiled generously and said, "The small business done by the women's family is not on the table. ”

"Yun Shizi is really blessed to marry such a talented woman as his wife." The emperor, who had been silent, suddenly burst out with a word. Wei Xiang smiled: "Childe is right, then Mrs. Ronghua is in my house, and Mrs. I wrote a poem for one of my paintings, and Mrs. made a poem with the title of the first pole after thinking about it, which is really talented." "This Prime Minister Wei is making a sycophant at this time, is it to relieve my doubts about my identity and have a relationship with the Yun family?

"Really?" The emperor said lightly, "Wei Xiang doesn't know, Mrs. Ronghua also sings very well, right?" ”

"I've heard it, but I haven't had the opportunity to hear Madame's wonderful song." Wei Xiang smiled. The emperor smiled faintly: "Why don't you ask Madame to play and sing a song for Wei Xiang?" ”

"Wouldn't this ...... be too abrupt?" Wei Xiang smiled. I smiled: "Xiangye is polite, the two of you came to the Hou Mansion as guests, and the concubine is the master, so she naturally has to be warmly entertained." Ning'er, go to the room and bring my guitar. ”

"Wei Xiang didn't know that Mrs. Ronghua not only sang well, but also had hand skills." The emperor spoke again, I was stunned, the emperor stared at me fixedly, and the corners of his lips hooked: "Mrs. Ronghua can sing in response to the topic." ”

This dead boy, you're here to get along with me today? Turned to look at Yun Zheng, seeing that his face was expressionless, but the hand under the robe was held, I gently held his hand and patted it soothingly, he turned his head to look at me, I smiled at him, it's okay, don't be angry.

Turning my eyes to the emperor's breathtaking eyes, I smiled calmly: "Doesn't the prince want to give the concubine a question?" ”

"With the talent of Mrs. Ronghua, it shouldn't be a problem." The corners of the emperor's lips raised, and I smiled: "Gongzi looks up to the concubine so much, where is the concubine not to give Gongzi face?" Childe, please come out. ”

"How about the 'game'?" The Emperor looked at me quietly. Game? Is it a game that I am? It's a good thing, I just have a song in my stomach. I smiled faintly, took the guitar handed over by Ning'er, stood up, Ning'er moved the chair a little away from the dining table, I sat down, plucked the strings, and hooked the corners of my lips. Game, what a game.

The night is not as quiet as this night,

I heard the sound of blood dripping from this heart,

Remembering your nightmare last night,

What you gave me is not love.

It's you who say there's never been one,

Like I'm doing stupid things,

Still serious about this thing,

Why was it so easy to love once upon a time,

Who will tell you this interesting story in the future?

After the game of pestering mian, why can you be willing to let go,

Is it the law or the love is not enough.

Tell me that after this pestering game,

Why can't love last,

It's the fact that there is no true love,

Or I didn't see through it.

But I feel that once upon a time, lover,

It doesn't exist in the world,

Never really been loved for years,

Back and forth, I just stood outside the door,

When you are confused, you only regard it as an accident.

It's a game, it's an accident. A mocking smile tugged at the corner of my lips, and I sang all the songs, and the room was silent. After a while, Wei Xiang clapped his hands and praised: "What a chic tune, Madame's dialect seems to be a dialect in Nanguang, Madame is not from Nanguang?" ”

I looked up in surprise, I deliberately sang a Cantonese song, thinking that they must not understand, but I didn't expect that there were also dialects similar to Cantonese in this time and space. I saw that the emperor's face was a little cold, and I knew that he must have understood. I smiled and said, "No, the concubine learned a few words from a friend before, which made Xiangye smile." "After listening to this song today, Wei Xiang should be completely relieved, right? Azure Xue doesn't speak the Nanguang dialect.

Let Ning'er put away the piano. The emperor kept looking at me coldly, and after a while, he stood up and said, "Wei Xiang, it's time to go back after coming out for a long time today." After that, he walked out, and when Wei Xiang saw that the emperor was gone, he quickly stood up: "Yun Shizi and Mrs. Ronghua, thank you two for your hospitality, and I will say goodbye." ”

We were sent out of the door, and the emperor was already in a sedan chair. Watching the two sedan chairs drift apart, Yun Zheng held my hand, I turned my head, Yun Zheng's eyes were full of gentle pity, I gently leaned my head on his shoulder, and smiled faintly. I know that I won't be Yun Zheng's game, never will.
