"The little lord is waiting in the palace." Ruan nodded happily in reply and stepped back.

The moon was unusually bright tonight, shining through the windows, but it was windy.

The breeze blew the window lattice, Ye Hao was dressed in a thin white gauze skirt, sitting in front of the couch, raising her beautiful eyes and looking out of the window.

An inexplicable arc rose on a delicate flower-like face, and she hadn't looked at the moonlight so truly for a long time.

Soon Ah Ruan came back in a hurry, secretly glad that he went to the Internal Affairs Mansion in person, if he appointed the little palace maid in Chaohua Palace, I was afraid that those low-eyed minions in the Internal Affairs Mansion would not give in.

Therefore, Ah Ruan wasted his tongue for a long time, only then did he choose some delicious fruits, crashed into the basket, and walked towards Chaohua Palace with high spirits.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is also a distance away from Chaohua Palace, and there are also Jinyi guards patrolling the road outside the palace road.

Ah Ruan just wanted to return to Chaohua Palace as soon as possible and avoid those trivial matters, so he walked the trail.

It's a pity that there is a bamboo forest next to the path, and there is silence all around, and there is no candle lighting, so she hurried through the bright moonlight.

At this moment, a black figure flashed, and the frightened Ah Ruan froze in place.

"Who?" Her little face turned white, and she asked in a deep voice.

But there was silence in the bamboo forest, and there was a figure in the dark?

At this time, Ah Ruan took a deep breath, his eyes flickered, his hand holding the basket tightened, and he walked forward quickly.

At this moment, a tall figure stood under the eaves of the corridor, and when he heard the footsteps from the depths of the bamboo forest, his phoenix eyes suddenly sank, and he shouted coldly: "Who is hiding in the bamboo forest?" ”

The man was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, standing condescendingly under the eaves, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, but his narrow phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light, and a gloomy chill exuded around his body.

Then a warm male voice came: "If there is anyone, the emperor is afraid that he heard it wrong." ”

Wang Dafu, the eunuch on the side, had a shrewd face, gave the guards behind him a look, and motioned them to search the bamboo forest.

"Please also ask the emperor. King Anding waited for a while, and the servants had already sent someone to check on the bamboo forest. Wang Dafu has been by Xie Yuchen's side for a long time, and he is also flattering when he speaks.

However, Xie Yinglie smiled leisurely, raised his eyebrows to look at the bright moonlight in the distance, and quipped: "The moon is very beautiful tonight, suitable for a drunken retreat!" ”

"Just now, you still told this king that you want to play chess?" Xie Yuchen asked without answering.

His angular jaw lines are extremely delicate, as if carved like a ghostly axe, the sword eyebrows are obliquely inserted like sideburns, and the dark phoenix eyes are like vast stars.

Just to this station, the slender figure exudes the nobility that cannot be concealed and the domineering spirit of a king who looks down on the world.

On the other hand, Xie Yinglie, who was as gentle as jade beside him, the appearance of the two was extremely opposite, with a pair of ink-like black eyes with an evil smile, exuding a bohemian temperament.

At this time, an exclamation came from the depths of the bamboo forest, and before Ah Ruan could react, she was dragged out by several guards.

The guards threw the person in front of Xie Yuchen.

"In the middle of the night, what kind of system are you sneaking around?" Xie Yuchen's face sank, and he said sharply.

Before she could wake up, she saw a bright yellow figure standing in front of her, she raised her little face, looked at the man blankly, and suddenly her face changed greatly, "The slave knocks on the emperor." ”

However, Xie Yinglie didn't want to worry about this matter, and just as he looked at Ah Ruan, a smile oozed from the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you the little maid who waits by the side of the concubine?" "Look at the book house

At this time, Xie Yuchen's eyes flashed slightly, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was no trace of emotion on his cold face.

Wang Dafu on the side walked forward with interest, looked down and saw that it was Ah Ruan, "Back to the emperor, this is Ah Ruan, the slave maid next to the concubine." ”

"What do you want to do here in the Qianqing Palace?" Xie Yuchen asked in a cold voice, "The slave who followed the concubine was so presumptuous?" ”

It was clearly Ah Ruan walking in the bamboo forest, walking in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, maybe it was too dark, and she didn't see the direction of the road.

"The slave maid is going to Chaohua Palace, I don't know how to disturb the emperor, and ask the emperor to atone for his sins." Ah Ruan looked panicked, and secretly cursed himself for not distinguishing between the south, the south, the north, and the west.

Xie Yuchen, who was standing under the eaves, looked at Ah Ruan with cold eyes, noticed what she was holding in her hand, and asked in surprise, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

Suddenly, Ah Ruan's face changed slightly, and he pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't know what to say.

"Isn't there any treasure hidden, but you don't dare to show it like this?"

Seeing Ah Ruan's hesitant face, Xie Yinglie joked with a smile.

Wang Dafu is also a clever person, he stepped forward, snatched Ah Ruan's basket, and sent it to Xie Yuchen to check.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Wang Dafu said as he opened the lid of the basket.

A fragrance emanated from the basket, Xie Yuchen's eyes changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What is this?" ”

The pair of narrow phoenix eyes stared at the basket where a whole thing wrapped in lotus leaves was placed, exuding a strange fragrance that hooked people's taste buds.

Wang Dafu, who was in the palace, also glanced at it a few times, shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't recognize it, and the aroma smells like something to eat." ”

This aroma also reached the tip of Xie Yinglie's nose, he sniffed a few times, and the smile on his clear face slowly smiled, "Roast chicken!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xie Yuchen's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, his cold face was full of doubts, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wang Dafu beside him, as if he was interrogating him about something.

But Wang Dafu's face changed slightly, and he shook his head to show that he didn't recognize it.

Ah Ruan, who was kneeling on the ground, was also blunt, with a panicked look on his face.

"The emperor didn't know that this lotus leaf chicken was originally a dish circulated among the people, but he didn't know that he saw it with his own eyes in the palace."

Xie Yinglie's gentle face hooked up a wicked smile, and he said faintly.

"Lotus leaf chicken?" Wang Dafu is an old eunuch in the palace.

He has been by Xie Yuchen's side for decades, and he has long been familiar with the delicacies in the palace, and he has seen a lot of knowledge, but he has never known a kind of chicken called lotus leaf chicken?

"The slave has served the emperor in the palace for many years, and I have never heard of such a delicacy in the palace?" Wang Dafu looked surprised and asked suspiciously.

Even Xie Yuchen frowned slightly, and a complicated expression flashed in his deep phoenix eyes, obviously he didn't know much about this thing.

"The younger brother has traveled all over the world, whether he has seen it or eaten it, although it cannot be compared with the delicacies in the palace, but it has a unique flavor." Xie Yinglie's Qingjun face hooked up a chuckle and couldn't help but quip, "I didn't expect to see it in the palace, but it aroused the belly worm of my younger brother." ”

While laughing, Xie Yinglie's phoenix eyes drooped slightly, glanced at Ah Ruan, who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered: "The noble concubine Niangniang loves folk food as much as her brother, but it is rare!" ”

"These are the orders of the concubine?" A look of surprise flashed on Xie Yuchen's cold face, and he asked in a low voice.

Suddenly, Ah Ruan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly nodded and replied: "Back to the emperor, it is the concubine Niangniang's poor appetite recently, and the slave maid wants to change her tricks to make some delicious food for the concubine Niangniang." ”
