The bamboo poles used as fuel are slowly consumed by the burning flames, and the flames shake and lick the yellowed skin of the fish, and the fragrance gradually emanates from the fish, making it mouth-watering.

Ru Xuan, who was sitting by the fire, hummed a small tune, still turning the fish skewers in her hands, sniffing the fragrance from time to time, and smacking her mouth that was already full of saliva.

"It smells so good." Shiqi did not exaggerate, sincerely appreciated, of course, lunch time has passed for a long time, and the belly, which has not eaten anything, also protested.

"That's nature." Ru Xuan was very confident in her craft, raised her head and replied, and after seeing the hungry image on Shiqi's face, she comforted: "It's almost good, wait a little longer." ”

"Yes." In order to remain a gentleman, Shi Qi naturally would not say that he was hungry in advance than a lady, and secretly covered up the discordant cry in his stomach with a coughing sound.

"You ......" Shi Qi looked at Ru Xuan's skillful grilling action, and said lightly: "The technique of grilling fish is very skillful, and this fish meat must be delicious." ”

A sentence that is not a compliment, it seems to be asking not asking, as if it is a pointer.

Ru Xuan's expression changed slightly, and after a while, she replied with a smile: "This is natural, when I was a child, my father often took me to the river to fish, and this is how he grilled fish for me." ”

It means that the woman inherits her father's business, and there is nothing to explain.

Shi Qi was relieved, remembering that his father often took him out to fish and hunt when he was a child, but unfortunately, he can still sit here and eat grilled fish, but his father is no longer there.

The past came to mind one by one, and there was an inexplicable sadness, and Shiqi's eyes were full of obscurity that could not be dissolved.

"Okay, okay, you taste it first, see if it's delicious."

While pondering, Ru Xuan's slender hands had already handed a string of fragrant fish pieces in front of him, Shi Qi came back to his senses, accepted the slightly heavy love just now, took the fish pieces, and said, "Thank you." ”

Although it shouldn't be so ungentlemanly to abandon Ru Xuan to eat first, but after all, this time it was Ru Xuan who was the host, he was a guest, and it would be a bit hypocritical to excuse himself too much, so he would taste the taste of this grilled fish first.

"Good ......" In Ru Xuan's expectant eyes, Shiqi swallowed the word "hot" back and replaced it with the word "eat"!

"Delicious!"

Sure enough, after hearing such a compliment, Ru Xuan's eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile.

Fortunately, Shi Qi blew a cool air, and after tasting the grilled fish again, he found that the praise just now was worthy of the name.

The burnt yellow fish skin, the fish body was divided into neat incisions by Ru Xuan in order to absorb the flavor, revealing the delicate fish meat inside, and gently biting it, only to feel that the skin and flesh on the outside were charred and tender on the inside, and suddenly performed a wonderful song in the mouth.

"Delicious, delicious!"

Shi Qi sighed again, and the smile on Ru Xuan's face became thicker and thicker.

In her previous life, under the abuse of her uncle and aunt, Ru Xuan learned to cook early, and even under their deliberate difficulty, her cooking skills were comparable to those of the chefs in charge of the restaurant.

Seeing that Shiqi was eating sweet and sweet, Ru Xuan here was not idle, while busy grilling the remaining fish pieces, while helping Shiqi pour wine from time to time, and even, from time to time, he also freed his hands to wash the handkerchief and help Shiqi wipe his dirty hands.

Seeing that Shiqi had already eaten the grilled fish, and the fish bone residue had also fallen into a small pile, Ru Xuan scooped water to extinguish the flame, and asked with a smile: "How is it, are you full?" ”

"Full, full." Shi Qi touched his slightly bulging belly and replied, "The grilled fish you made is really delicious." "The words are true, the taste of the fish grilled by Ru Xuan is really indescribable, and it is even more delicious than the food cooked by the Shang Food Bureau.

Ru Xuan smiled again and said, "If you like it, it's good." ”

Shiqi also smiled, but the smile was gentle and gentle, like warm jade, soft and warm. The slightly hooked corners of the lips, reflecting the shade of the trees, are even more handsome.

For a while, she was a little stupid, Ru Xuan was a little embarrassed, hurriedly lowered her eyelids, and said, "You have been in the palace for a few days." ”

It should be regarded as a casual chat, Shi Qizhi did not object to using this way to eat, and replied with a smile: "Well, it's been about two years." ”

"Oh, so long?" Ru Xuan's eyes lit up obviously, and then asked, "Have you been serving in Chaoyang Hall all along?" ”

Shi Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." ”

"That's right." After Ru Xuan received an affirmative answer, her eyes narrowed slightly, but she was thinking quickly in her heart.

If you have been serving in the Chaoyang Palace, you must still have some understanding of the emperor's behavior and habits.

"Something?" Shiqi looked at Ru Xuan with a pensive look, thinking that she had encountered something difficult, and kindly asked.

Ben didn't know how to open this mouth, after all, since entering the palace, Shiqi has helped her too much, although she also gave Shiqi some silver in return, but this friendship can't be repaid. Shiqi's question gave Ru Xuan an excuse to go on.

"En......" Ru Xuan lowered her head in shame and replied in a low voice: "Sort of......"

Something is something, nothing is nothing, what is this "right"? Shiqi was a little crying and laughing at Ru Xuan's answer, but he also understood her embarrassment to beg for help, and hurriedly relieved: "Tell it and listen to it, I can help, I will definitely help." ”

"I don't need to help anything...... Ru Xuan buried her head lower and lower, her voice was as small as a mosquito, and she said intermittently: "I just want to ask something, if you know, tell the truth, if you don't know, then I haven't asked, how about it?" ”

I thought it was a big thing, so that Ru Xuan, who has always been bold and generous, was so embarrassed, but I didn't expect it to be so simple to reply, Shi Qi naturally agreed without thinking about it, "Of course you can, whatever is it, just ask." ”

Unexpectedly, Shi Qi agreed so quickly, Ru Xuan raised her head and glanced at him incredulously, but after seeing Shi Qi's resolute eyes, her heart suddenly calmed down.

Zhu Xuan's lips opened slightly, and Ru Xuan asked with a little uneasiness, "Does the emperor have any special preferences?" After that, I was afraid that I didn't make it clear, so I added: "About the ...... of women's dress"

Does the emperor have a preference for women's clothing?

Shi Qi was stunned and was silent for a long time.

Sure enough, the women in this palace, from the big concubines to the small palace maids, are all running for the emperor.

It turns out that the women in this world value love and righteousness on the surface, but in their bones, they also value the glory, wealth, power and glory of this life.

Once, there was also a bright and gorgeous woman, who once held a peach blossom in her hand and swore that in this life, she would only like to hold hands with the person she liked, and share her white head. In the end, he couldn't be attracted by wealth and glory, and became a heartless person.

A touch of glamour in my mind passed by in a hurry, and disappeared without a trace.

Leaving his eyes empty and godless, he stood still, letting the breeze blow on his face, and his heart was full of thoughts, but he was silent at this time.
