is the second prince next to him, as if everything around him has nothing to do with him, does not participate in any small group, and roasts by himself, the roasted meat is really decent, but almost all the meat he roasted is given to Concubine Hua's bowl, even if Concubine Hua didn't eat a single thing, he still continued to roast as always, which shows that he is a filial person.

Mu Chen walked up to Concubine Hua: "Concubine Hua, what are you baking?" ”

Mu Chen pointed to the chicken wings that had long been turned into charcoal, she didn't recognize it, but thought it was funny and deliberately asked.

Concubine Hua, who has never had a channel to vent, seems to have finally found an outlet to vent, and the corner of her eyes is the same, and she threw the iron fork in her hand to the ground: "What self-service barbecue?" A good family banquet is messy, what kind of system is it? Every member of the royal family here is not a cook, is it good to use a pair of hands to bake food with an iron fork? ”

With Concubine Hua's outburst, everyone stopped their movements and turned their eyes to Concubine Hua and the prince.

Mu Chen's face was calm: "Concubine Hua, please calm your anger, this king chose this way, taking into account that everyone's tastes are different, although the food eaten at the family banquet in the past is the best food made in the imperial dining room, but the taste is mainly based on the father, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, if you can let everyone taste the food they like, wouldn't everyone be happy?" In addition, the food cooked by yourself or your loved ones will surely feel more delicious. ”

She looked around for another week: "Concubine Hua, you see, don't everyone enjoy this process very much?" ”

Concubine Hua was angry, indeed except for herself, the rest of the people were happy, she saw that no one was on her side, so she looked at the second prince Zixi, she should think that her son would always help her.

The second prince leisurely picked up a bowl of meat that had already been filled in front of Concubine Hua: "The mother concubine is angry, the mother's tender hands are indeed not suitable for a latte fork, so the son has already roasted the mother concubine, please give the mother a try." ”

Mu Chen thought to himself, with Concubine Hua's character, he actually raised a filial son, which was really a blessing from several lifetimes.

The second prince Xi can be regarded as taking a step to take care of Concubine Hua's face, no matter how arrogant Concubine Hua is, she has to give her son face, she took the bowl in the second prince's hand: "Okay, for the sake of Xi'er's filial piety, forget it today, but such a nondescript self-service barbecue, not an example." ”

The sentence "don't take it as an example" made the faces of everyone present sink, Concubine Hua didn't like it, but others liked it very much, the prince was right, they all enjoyed the barbecue process, and they also liked this way of helping themselves, especially Emperor Yonghe, this kind of fresh food, let him interact with Concubine An a lot, and found endless sweetness, just like finding the unexpected feeling when he first met Concubine An.

Emperor Yonghe's eyes were slightly angry, and the ordinary sweet shrimp was burned to the point that it was handed over to Concubine An: "Concubine Hua, when did this palace become your palace?" ”

This is the first time Mu Chen has seen Emperor Yonghe with anger on his face, and the majesty of the emperor has given her another layer of understanding of Emperor Yonghe, not that she is not powerful, but she will not be powerful casually.

"The concubine doesn't dare." Concubine Hua immediately lowered her head and half drooped.

"Don't dare? Then why do I sound like you have the final say on everything in the palace? The tone of Emperor Yonghe's words was heavier than the previous sentence.

"The concubine doesn't dare." Concubine Hua immediately knelt down, she knew that she had spoken too much, no matter how she said that she was just a concubine, in front of the emperor, she should not be in front of anyone.

Emperor Yonghe knew that this woman had to be frustrated every once in a while, otherwise she herself would not know how to restrain herself.

"Get up." Emperor Yonghe's face was slightly relieved, "The family banquet is to enhance everyone's feelings, I am very satisfied with the buffet barbecue, and I also like this atmosphere, the prince has done a good job, I will consider increasing the number of family banquets in the future, if the prince has any other good ideas, you might as well let it go." ”

The implication is obvious, Concubine Hua's words can be used as a fart, and Prince Chen is favored again.

"Yes, Father Xie's approval." The corners of Mu Chen's mouth raised slightly, she just knew that Concubine Hua was angry in her heart, so she deliberately provoked that fire, she just wanted to make it all, but she didn't expect Concubine Hua to be so arrogant that even Emperor Yonghe couldn't help but clean her up.

It's really self-inflicted, and you can't live.

Deserve.

Everyone returned to a cheerful rhythm and continued to roast and whisper.

Looking at the second prince Zixi again, no wonder he always looks like he doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, with this mother, who can help it.

Mu Chen walked past the second prince Zixi, thinking that the previous owner of her body liked the man in front of her, she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

What exactly do you like about him? He rarely speaks, he is more taciturn than Su Wuxie, sixteen years old, but he has deeper eyes than Su Wuxie at the age of twenty, the whole person is too cold and indifferent, as if he has taken off seven emotions and six desires, giving people too extreme feelings, it is better for Su Wuxie, although the appearance is also cool, but it is obviously a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and occasionally smiles and welcomes people.

It's weird, why did you think of using Su Wuxian to compare with the second prince Zixi?

There is a little bit of similarity, but if you look closely, there is a big difference. At the end of the day, why compare? Actually, there is nothing to compare.

"Prince." I only heard the voice of the second prince Xi, who had no waves, "How should this eggplant be roasted?" ”

Seeing that the second prince was holding an iron fork in one hand and a long eggplant in the other, with that expressionless face, Mu Chen really wanted to ...... Laugh.

But the other party was so serious, in order to cooperate, she coughed twice, but she still tolerated the smile, she took the eggplant in the hand of the second prince Zixi, and picked up a knife next to her, and cut the eggplant in half: "Before roasting the eggplant, you must first cut the eggplant vertically in half, half and half of it, when roasting, the skin is facing down, and a few knives are cut on the top without skin, put some green onion and garlic, and add some sauce It will be delicious." ”

As she spoke, the movements had followed, and the two halves of the eggplant were already obediently lying on the barbed wire: "Okay, but not so fast, we have to wait a little longer." ”

She had just roasted very intently, her eyes were all looking at the eggplant, and when she finished all the steps and turned back, she found that the second prince was looking at her fixedly, not at how she roasted the eggplant, but at her face.

From this man's expression and eyes, he couldn't see the slightest joy, anger and sorrow, Mu Chen really couldn't see why he was staring at him, because he was very different from before? No, it's not the first time we've met, and I've seen enough of what I should have seen last time. Could it be that he knew that the former prince liked him? It shouldn't be, no matter how incompetent the crown prince is, he won't be stupid enough to let the second prince know his extraordinary affection.

So what exactly is he looking at?

What's even more strange is that Mu Chen observed his expression, he didn't shy away from it, and he was not moved, and still continued to stare openly.

Mu Chen changed his mind again, maybe the second prince Zixi was not as unfathomable as he thought, it might just be some superficial reasons, such as ......

"Second prince, is my face dirty?" She asked embarrassedly.

"Hmm." The grim man nodded slightly.

It was true, Mu Chen was embarrassed, and hurriedly wiped his face with his hands.

Actually, Mu Chen's face was not dirty at all, the second prince Zixi just responded to Mu Chen's question, in fact, no matter what question Mu Chen asked, as long as it was harmless, the second prince Zixi would probably nod.

But Mu Chen wiped her hands like this, and her beautiful face almost turned into a flower-faced cat, because her hands were already stained with carbon black and oil stains on the iron fork.

When the second prince saw this scene, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he seemed to be smiling for a moment.

He took out a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks, Mu Chen consciously reached out and wanted to take it, who knew that the second prince ignored her movements, bypassed her outstretched hand, and directly wiped the stains on her face with a handkerchief.

Mu Chen shook his head instantly, and motionless let the second prince Zixi's hand with a handkerchief move on his face.

It didn't seem like a brotherly move.

Not only Mu Chen noticed it, but even Concubine Hua also noticed that something was wrong with the second prince Zixi, and she said to Mu Chen in a scathing tone: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worthy of being His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and even wiping his face also wants me Xi'er to serve?" ”

Auntie, is it your son who takes the initiative to serve?

Concubine Hua's words were enough to wake Mu Chen up, Mu Chen hurriedly snatched the handkerchief from the second prince's hand, and wiped his face with a smile: "Thank you, brother emperor, it's good for this king to come by himself." ”

In fact, Mu Chen was frightened into a cold sweat by the mother and son, the son's behavior was mysterious, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking, and his mother's words were cold, which was uncomfortable to listen to.

It is better to be careful when encountering these two mothers and children in the future.

"The prince is a daughter, and he really needs someone to serve him." Concubine Hua seemed to have thought of something to cut into, so she raised her voice and deliberately let the Yonghe Imperial Capital not far away hear, "It's time to find a suitable woman to take care of the prince's life." ”

It turned out that she wanted to remind everyone about the crown princess, Sima Zhao's heart was well known to passers-by, and the suitable woman she said was none other than her niece Hua Sisi.

Although Emperor Yonghe also hoped that the crown prince would accept the concubine as soon as possible, he also felt that what the prince had said made sense, Hua Sisi's identity was not suitable, because she was the daughter of the Hua family, and if she was accepted as the crown princess, it would definitely boost Hua Qianchuan's arrogance.

Therefore, Emperor Yonghe did not echo Concubine Hua's words.

Concubine Hua doesn't know the truth, she has only heard rumors that the prince is like Hua Sisi from the portrait, but because they didn't know each other at the beginning, so they didn't make a conclusion, and now it's been a while, except for Hua Sisi, the East Palace has never received other female dependents, Concubine Hua feels that the prince must be emotionally determined about Hua Sisi, as an aunt Hua Fei, she feels that she should push for this matter.

So Concubine Hua walked in front of Emperor Yonghe and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, in fact, Hua Sisi, the niece of the concubine, has been getting along with the prince for a while, it is rare that they get along very well, and they are talented and beautiful, why not be a good thing?" ”
