Chapter 125: Good intentions do bad things
Zhu Yunxi carried the cake and came to the palace where his sister Zhu Yuning lived happily, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he smelled a smell of chicken soup, which made him can't help but say loudly: "It's so fragrant, what new dishes have you learned, sister?" ”
"Little brother, come on, the eldest sister made chicken soup, just wait for you to taste it!" Zhu Yuqing, who was making fun of his sister, saw Zhu Yunxi come in, his eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately beckoned to him.
"yes, then I have to try it!" Zhu Yunxi also stepped forward with great interest when he heard this, he knew that his sister was practicing cooking skills in the past few days, but it was the first time he had the opportunity to taste it.
Zhu Yuning just wanted to stop it, but Zhu Yuqing blocked her in front of her, and handed the chicken soup in the bowl to Zhu Yunxi and said, "Little brother, drink it quickly, it tastes good!" ”
Zhu Yunxi didn't think much about it, took the chicken soup and drank it in one gulp, after all, this chicken soup smelled quite fragrant, and as for the saltiness, it had to wait until the mouth to taste it.
"Water!" As soon as the chicken soup entered his stomach, Zhu Yunxi felt that his tongue was numb, and immediately shouted in a dumb voice.
Zhu Yuning, who was in the back, also pushed Zhu Yuqing away, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yunxi, only to see Zhu Yunxi take the tea and drink it all, but he still felt thirsty, so he simply picked up the teapot and drank half a pot in one go, which made Zhu Yuqing next to him laugh and couldn't straighten his waist.
"Second sister, you're teasing me again!" Zhu Yunxi put down the teapot and burped, then said angrily.
"How can I blame this, it's obviously the chicken soup made by the eldest sister, I want to blame you for the eldest sister!" Zhu Yuqing retorted sharply.
"You ......" Zhu Yunxi was speechless, and then thought of the cake he was carrying, and immediately said with a light in his eyes, "Second sister, you bullied me, I won't let you eat the good things I brought!" ”
"I'm not unusual!" Zhu Yuqing raised her face and said very arrogantly, she didn't believe that Zhu Yunxi would bring back anything delicious.
"Okay, that's what you said!" Zhu Yunxi said and put the cake box in his hand on the table and opened it, and a faint sweet smell immediately emanated, causing Zhu Yuning and Zhu Yuqing sisters to also come over.
"What is this?" Zhu Yuning looked at the white pastry decorated with fruit and asked curiously.
"It's called a birthday cake, sister...... Ahem, Li Banyu said, this is a special pastry to celebrate people's birthdays, and he asked me to bring it back so that my sister can taste it too! When Zhu Yunxi mentioned Li Jie, he almost called out the word "brother-in-law", which made Zhu Yuning also blush.
"I'll taste it!" didn't wait for Zhu Yuning to speak, only to see Zhu Yuqing actually stretched out his slender fingers, smeared a little cake on the cake and put it in his mouth, and then his eyes lit up and praised, "It's delicious!" It's delicious! I didn't expect my brother-in-law to have this ability! ”
"Don't you eat it?" Zhu Yunxi looked at this second sister who didn't count, and said a little speechlessly.
"This is given to my sister by my brother-in-law, of course I want to taste it!" Zhu Yuqing said confidently, she hadn't been afraid of anyone in the quarrel.
"Okay, I can't stop your mouths if I have to eat!" Zhu Yuning finally spoke at this time, Zhu Yuqing and Zhu Yunxi immediately didn't dare to quarrel anymore, they usually fight and fight, but as long as the eldest sister speaks, they will immediately become good babies.
"Little brother, this ...... How to eat cake? Zhu Yuning asked curiously at the cake at this time.
"Just cut it open!" Zhu Yunxi said as he took out the bamboo knife from the box, and then cut the cake, and of course the first one was given to Zhu Yuning.
Zhu Yuning also tasted it curiously, and found that the taste of this cake was surprisingly good, and even she couldn't help but eat a few bites, and the more she ate, the more delicious it became, and she felt like she couldn't stop.
Zhu Yuqing next to her had already tasted the cream on the outside just now, and now she had eaten the soft cake inside, which made her even more unstoppable, even Zhu Yunxi, who had already eaten the cake, cut a piece for herself at this time and tasted it in small bites.
"This cake tastes so good, my brother-in-law really has a heart!" Soon a piece of cake was eaten, and Zhu Yuqing praised again while cutting another piece for himself.
"Don't talk nonsense, we're not married yet!" Hearing her sister call her brother-in-law again, Zhu Yuning finally couldn't help but say angrily again, but her face was blushing when she spoke, and her voice was much weaker.
"You are all engaged, and it was given by the imperial grandfather himself, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes my brother-in-law!" Zhu Yuqing smiled and said, Anyway, sooner or later, you have to change your words, so it's better to start practicing now.
"Sister, guess who made this cake?" Zhu Yunxi suddenly smiled mysteriously at this time.
"Who did it, could it be that Li Jie did it himself?" Zhu Yuning hadn't come out of his shyness yet, and answered casually at the moment.
"Eldest sister, you really guessed right, this cake was made by Li Banyu himself!" Zhu Yunxi laughed again.
"Really? He's a big man and makes pastries? Without waiting for Zhu Yuning to speak, Zhu Yuqing, who was picking up the cake in his mouth, shouted with a shocked face.
"Second sister, don't underestimate people, there are a lot of things in Li Banyu's reading meeting, not only this cake, but even the meals for his birthday today are all made by Li Banyu himself, and the taste is exceptionally delicious, no worse than the imperial chef in the palace!" Zhu Yunxi immediately advertised for Li Jie, after all, he has a short mouth, and of course he wants to praise Li Jie in front of his sister now.
"He still knows how to cook?" At this time, Zhu Yuning was also shocked, she had studied for so long, but she couldn't even boil a chicken soup, but Li Jie was able to make a table of dishes that Zhu Yunxi admired, which made her really a little unbelievable.
"It should be said that I am proficient, my father also went with me today, you also know how tricky my father's mouth is, but even my father said that the dishes made by Li Jie were delicious, and even when he left, he asked for an extra cake to come back, saying that he wanted to bring it to the imperial grandfather." Zhu Yunxi was afraid that her sister would not believe her, so she immediately moved her father out.
Now the two Zhu Yuning sisters didn't believe it, but then Zhu Yuqing grabbed her sister's arm with a look of surprise and shouted: "Sister, you are really blessed, you actually recruited a colt who can cook, now it's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't cook, just let your brother-in-law do it!" ”
However, Zhu Yuning didn't have the slightest joy, and finally suddenly got up and said: "No, he is a man who knows how to cook better than me, what kind of truth is this, I must be better than him!" ”
Zhu Yuning stopped eating the cake after speaking, turned around and walked to the stove again, she must practice the cooking skills that surpass Li Jie, otherwise she will be too faceless after marriage.
Zhu Yuqing and Zhu Yunxi looked at each other when they looked at their sister, and finally the two glanced at each other, and they both read a sentence from each other's eyes: The stubborn temper of the eldest sister who does not admit defeat is really incurable!
Zhu Biao came to the warm pavilion with the cake, as soon as he entered the pavilion, Zhu Biao felt a solemn atmosphere, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the pavilion also looked cautious, which made him sigh secretly, it seems that the father's anger has not disappeared.
At that moment, Zhu Biao stepped forward, and then put the cake in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reviewing the folding, and said with a smile: "Father, take a rest, Erchen will bring you something fresh!" ”
"What's that?" Zhu Yuanzhang threw down the notebook in his hand and looked up, looking at his face as black as the bottom of a pot, he was obviously still angry about the nine fishermen.
"It's called a cake, and it's a novelty!" Zhu Biao said and opened the box, took out the cake and cut out a piece, and then sent it to Zhu Yuanzhang with his own hands.
Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite, swallowed most of it in one gulp, and then nodded with satisfaction: "It tastes good, but it suits my appetite very well." ”
Zhu Biao was also overjoyed when he heard this, in fact, he already knew that his father would like it, because his father was old, his teeth were a little loose, and he couldn't bite a lot of hard food, this cake was soft and sweet, which was suitable for the elderly.
"It's good if my father likes it, speaking of which, this is still made by Li Jie himself, today is his birthday, he not only made a cake, but also made a table of dishes, I think my father will like the cake, so I specially asked for one!" Zhu Biao immediately asked for credit for Li Jie, speaking of which, he is really good as an old man, and he doesn't forget to pull his son-in-law for anything.
However, what Zhu Biao never expected was that when Zhu Yuanzhang heard that the cake was made by Li Jie, he immediately glared and said: "Are you saying that this kid is still in the mood to celebrate his birthday, and he is not doing his job in the kitchen?" ”
"This ......" Zhu Biao also felt wrong, but the words had already come out, and there was no way to take them back at this time, so he had to bite the bullet and whisper, "Yes!" ”
"Hmph, Zhang Dingbian was found by him, and the matter of the fishermen surnamed Jiu was also brought up by him, but now it's good, I'm having a headache for him, but he stays at home and celebrates his birthday leisurely!" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately slapped the table and said angrily.
"This ...... This is not right, Zhang Dingbian was called by your father, and the conditions were also discussed with Zhang Dingbian in person, why did you blame Li Jie in the end? Zhu Biao immediately called Qu Dao for Li Jie.
"I don't care about this, the matter started because of him, he has to be responsible to the end, call him tomorrow, I will not spare this matter if it is not resolved!" Zhu Yuanzhang was quite unreasonable, he was worried that he had no place to vent, and as soon as he was reminded by his son, he immediately found the object of venting.
"Father, you can't be unreasonable!" Zhu Biao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this.
"I'm just being unreasonable, what do you want?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, he is the emperor, and whether he is unreasonable or not is all a matter of his words.
"I ......" Zhu Biao is completely out of tricks, he really has no way to meet this kind of unreasonable father.
At the same time, Li Jie, who didn't know that he was being used as a scapegoat, was lying on his bed, holding a handkerchief in both hands and looking left and right, only to see an animal with wings embroidered on the handkerchief, but he couldn't see what kind of animal it was. ”
