Seeing Lu Xiyu's "recovery", Mrs. Lu quietly entered her daughter's boudoir, and after a while, the sound of mother and daughter laughing came from the boudoir.

In the hall, little Lori looked at Zhu Qiming for a long time, always with a happy smile on her face, deep or shallow.

"What shall I call you?" Lu Ziyin grabbed Zhu Qiyue's cuffs and said curiously.

"You've got to call me brother." Zhu Qiming pretended to be thoughtful and said solemnly.

Lu Xi heard the outrageous words of the two, and he was not happy at the moment, "Yin'er, Hugh is rude, you should call 'His Royal Highness King Yue'!" ”

Lu Ziyin's gaze turned around on the faces of his father and Zhu Qiming, and after a long time, he compromised: "Then I will call you Brother Yue Wang." ”

"Okay, Sister Ziyin is so smart!" Zhu Qiming said with a smile.

Lu Xi was about to lose his temper, but saw Lu Ziyin happily trotting away and burrowing into Lu Xiyu's boudoir.

Lu Xi invited Zhu Qiming into the study, and then instructed the only servant woman in the family to go out and buy and borrow a lot of dishes, ready to stay for dinner.

Thinking that there was a lot of movement in the court, King Yue was pushed to the wind, and the situation was worrying, and Zhu Qiming in front of him was leisurely drinking tea for a while, and reading books with interest for a while, looking at himself calmly, like a nobody, which made Lu Xi puzzled.

"Ouyang Changshi should arrive." Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered Ouyang Tong, and this thought came to his mind, and there was a knock on the door from the main hall.

"It's Ouyang Changshi." Zhu Qiming smiled at Lu Xi, who looked puzzled.

Lu Xi hurriedly went over and opened the door and welcomed Ouyang Tong into the study.

"Is Your Highness okay?" Ouyang Tong had a deep concern on his face, obviously knowing the cold reception that King Yue had received.

"This king is well." Zhu Qiming smiled and waved his hand to signal Ouyang Tong to take a seat.

Seeing Zhu Qiming's leisurely appearance, although Ouyang Tong was worried, the look on his face was still much more relaxed.

At this time, the servant woman came to pass the meal, so the three of them left the study and came to the dining room, Zhu Qiming was immediately stunned by the food on the case.

On the table, there are five-flavor steamed chicken, fish with frozen ginger and vinegar, lamb with minced pepper, lamb bone with yuan sauce, goose with pepper and vinegar, salty drum mustard lamb tripe plate, and three other side dishes, which directly catch up with the palace dietary standard.

Zhang Luo's table of dishes, plus the table of meals for entertaining the guards, must have cost Lu Xi a month's salary.

Alas, a family of four has to shrink their clothes and diet! Zhu Qiming felt a little unbearable in his heart.

After entering the table, Ouyang Tong, the former substitute teacher, almost played the role of a clown in front of Prince Xixi, maybe he wanted to have fun in the bitterness, or the "wine worms" and "gluttonous worms" in his body wriggled together, making him lose his temper. He has always been strict, but when he encounters fine wine and food, he will completely lose his resistance, and after Lu Xi raised his hand to invite, he hurriedly raised the spoon and stretched out to the plate of five-flavor steamed chicken, but Zhu Qiming raised the wine cup in time, Ouyang Tong had to put down the chopsticks and accompany Zhu Qiming with Lu Xi to do a meal.

Ouyang Tong stared at the plate of steamed chicken again, Zhu Qiming raised the wine cup again, and Ouyang Tong secretly complained bitterly.

On an empty stomach, what are you drinking?

The saliva is overflowing, and if you don't let people eat vegetables, you will be embarrassed!

After three rounds of drinking, Ouyang Tong's appetite subsided by three points, but he was still thinking about the plate of steamed chicken in his heart, but Zhu Qiming actually talked about the legendary experience of falling into a cave and accidentally detoxifying, so he had to sit and listen, and there was no chance to get off the basket at all.

Zhu Qiming talked from how he met the boy and how he was plotted by Saihan, until he finally broke through the hole and rescued the North Korean mission, but he hid his mind of mistaking Saihan for Lu Xiyu. Ouyang Tong was amazed when he heard it, and forgot the big meal on the table for a while.

"This kind of adventure, put it aside until today, Your Highness can really pretend to be in your heart!" Ouyang Tong's words were full of complaints.

"I didn't expect the Korean envoy to throw out a stone, but the Uliang thief didn't smash it, but smashed out a prince!" Lu Xi is humorous.

The three of them laughed.

At this time, Lu Ziyin appeared at the door, leaning on the door and smiling.

Zhu Qiming beckoned, Lu Ziyin ran to his side and asked a very strange question in a low voice, "Do you know Sister Lin and Sister Zhou?" Brother Yue Wang, who do you want to marry as a concubine? ”

This question was very abrupt, Lu Xi didn't say anything, but his face was full of embarrassment.

"I don't want to marry anyone." Zhu Qiming said indifferently.

Lu Ziyin let out an "oh", turned around and wanted to leave, but Zhu Qiming hurriedly stopped her.

Thinking that Mrs. Lu's mother and daughter must still be hungry in Lu Xiyu's boudoir, Zhu Qiming picked up the five-flavor steamed chicken on the table and handed it to Xiao Lori, "I'm not used to eating steamed chicken, you can take it and eat it with your mother." Turned to Ouyang Tong and said, "Ouyang Changshi doesn't like chicken, right?" ”

Ouyang Tong swallowed his saliva and said with a pout: "Your Highness is right, I haven't eaten chicken for five years, and I have forgotten the smell of chicken!" ”

The servant woman outside the door hurriedly went inside to pick up the plate and left with Lu Ziyin.

"For a long time, it is best to gnaw bones when drinking." Zhu Qiming said with a smile.

Ouyang Tong's favorite steamed chicken "flew" away, he glanced at the bowl of meat-colored mutton bones, and wanted to cry, but King Yue opened his mouth, and he had to obey.

Wasted the boss's mouth, gnawed a lot of mutton bones, but the things he ate into his stomach were pitiful, so Ouyang Tong stared at the plate of pepper and vinegar goose.

Lu Ziyin came to the dining room again, leaned on Zhu Qiming and asked another strange question. "Brother Yue Wang, the emperor has set up a concubine for you, can you resist the decree?"

Zhu Qiming looked at Lu Xi and Ouyang Tong, and smiled lightly, "The Empress Dowager will most likely postpone the matter of the concubine, so I have no purpose to resist!" ”

Then he got up and said, "Yin'er, I don't eat geese, you can take it away." He turned to Ouyang Tong and said, "Changshi doesn't like to eat geese, right?" ”

The chopsticks in Ouyang Tong's hand had already been placed on the plate of pepper and vinegar goose, and after hearing the words, he had to shrink back, barely squeezing out a smile that was even more ugly than crying, and his tongue was like a knot, "It turned out to be a goose, don't eat it!" I thought it was rabbit meat. ”

Lu Xi was stunned, what kind of eyes are these? Why don't you think of chopsticks as burning sticks?

Seeing that the pepper vinegar goose was taken away by the servant, Ouyang Tong only had to swallow saliva, so he had to retreat to the second, and his eyes were fixed on the plate of pepper and mutton.

Lu Ziyin went and returned, and asked a third strange question. "Brother Yue Wang, if the Queen Mother makes up her mind, what will you do?"

Zhu Qiming's face turned pale when he heard this, and he was speechless for a while.

"It is extremely difficult for the Queen Mother to make up her mind." Ouyang Tong took the lead, and there was a hint of mystery in his tone.

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Xi asked, obviously he was still quite concerned about the question raised by Lu Ziyin.

Ouyang Tong dried up a glass of wine, glanced at the minced pepper mutton, desperately restrained his appetite, and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother has circled two candidates, if the palace learns that His Royal Highness the King of Yue has been resolved, and there will be a dispute over the appointment of Princess Yue in the future, Concubine Zhou will definitely stand up for her sister, but as soon as Concubine Zhou comes out, can other people in the palace still sit still?" ”

Lu Xi seemed to have an understanding, "The long history is to say that the queen is ······" He paused in the middle of his sentence.

"Not bad." Ouyang Tong said proudly: "All parties can't hold each other, can the Queen Mother still make up her mind?" ”

Yes, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, and the smart Lu Xiyu will definitely be able to be a fisherman!

Zhu Qiming knew it, but he was inconvenient to say it directly.

"The Lin and Zhou families are reluctant, since the original intention is like this, how can the result be as the Queen Mother wishes?" Zhu Qiming changed his perspective to answer Lu Ziyin's question.

After speaking, he got up again, stretched out his hands to the plate of minced pepper mutton, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Ouyang Tong's face stretched and looked painful, so he moved the mutton to Ouyang Tong and said with a smile: "Changshi doesn't have to be polite here with Mr. Lu, since you love mutton, then feel free." Then he instructed the servant to take away the plate of fish with frozen ginger vinegar.

Hehe, it seems that Fang just said it well, and His Highness has rewarded him!

Ouyang Tong laughed a few times, couldn't care about Sven, and buried himself in eating.

Lu Xi was embarrassed when he saw Ouyang Tong's eating appearance. Thinking that he was a literati, he must have suffered a lot of hardships after being exiled from the king of Yue for five years.

At this time, the servant woman trotted over and said anxiously: "You can't eat mutton!" Xu is not new, just ······ Someone on the side room had a bad stomach. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ouyang Tong immediately covered his stomach and hurriedly ran towards the toilet.

Lu Xi was a little embarrassed and wanted to open his mouth to plead guilty, but Zhu Qiming hurriedly waved his hand to stop.

"Mr. doesn't have to blame himself, Mr. is gracious, a meal costs a lot of money, how many days does it take for a family of four to save money to ease up?"

Zhu Qiming suddenly felt that he should secretly help Mr. 's family, but when he thought of Mr.'s temperament, he reluctantly dispelled such thoughts.

Lu Xi sighed and said abruptly: "It seems that His Highness has not had an easy time these years. ”

"How can I be so delicate? Traveling through the north, although food and clothing are not as good as in the palace, but at ease! For the royal family, food and clothing are easy to obtain, and it is difficult to find them at ease. ”

The two of them ate a few side dishes, drank silently, and were speechless for a while.

Ouyang Tong came back, with a bitter face, and his heart was even more bitter.

Your Highness, you didn't mean it, did you?

Finally came across a big meal, the favorite chicken looked at a color, the second favorite goose smelled a fragrance, this mutton can finally be managed, but it is unclean food, I knew so, it is better to gnaw a bunch of mutton bones!

I didn't catch the big meal, I'm afraid I still accompanied all the foundation laid by Liaodong, it's really sad!

Zhu Qiming just wanted to say something to comfort him, but he saw Ouyang Tong running out again with his stomach in his hands, and after going back and forth several times, he finally sat down with a black line on his face, and no longer tossed back and forth.

"The long history has been with the king for a journey, a journey for the snow, and it has been running for five years, which is really not easy. When the king of Japan gets it, he will set up a banquet to reward Ouyang Changshi! ”

That's what you said! Ouyang Tong raised his eyebrows, raised his neck and said, "I want to set up a banquet in the capital's top 'Tianxiang' building." ”

"Okay."

"Prepare two altars of autumn dew."

"Two altars?" Zhu Qiyue shook his head and said, "No! ”

Ouyang Tong's eyes widened, and he said secretly: One altar is fine!

"How can two altars be enough? How can you get nine altars! Zhu Qiming said with a smile: "When the time comes, please go and have a good time." ”

Ouyang Tong's face was immediately covered with laugh lines, "Hehe, actually, this mutton······ It tastes good! ”
