Chapter 6: Seems to be an old man

Today, the queen mother's door of the Zhilan Palace is afraid that it will be broken, from the morning, Ouyang Yugang sat in front of the shelf, planning to embroider a piece of spring clothing for the ninth princess, and the people who came to the door were in and out in an endless stream.

However, the big and small things have been dealt with one after another, and the affairs of the harem are not taken care of, and they are handled by themselves on weekdays, but what kind of affairs is this court? It's almost all to the Zhilan Hall in his deep palace, and after half a day, no matter how good Ouyang Yu is, he has no patience, and he has completely lost the interest of being a female celebrity.

"Yujing, you go and see if the king is in the palace, if he is, go and spread a word, saying that he is invited to move to the Zhilan Palace for lunch and dinner."

Ouyang Yu closed the text in his hand, sat on the couch with his forehead, kneading his forehead with his fingers, his eyes closed lightly, his brows were tightly locked, and he commanded slowly.

"Niangniang, the king is in the palace, I heard that I entertained a distinguished guest today, and I didn't tell anyone not to disturb me" Yujing, who was concentrating on cutting window flowers in the outhouse, heard Ouyang Yu calling him, hurriedly put down his work, and came in to reply.

"Distinguished guests? Do you know what kind of guests they are? Ouyang Yu asked curiously, finally understanding in his heart, no wonder, it turned out that he was entangled in important matters.

"Niangniang, you also know that the sisters in front of me have very tight mouths and refuse to say anything, if they can ask it out sooner" Yujing muttered dissatisfiedly.

"That being the case, then you will pass on the words of Fang Cai to the palace lady in front of you, and say that the queen will personally cook and entertain the distinguished guests" Ouyang Yu changed his method, the king entertained the distinguished guests, and naturally there was a palace E who sent refreshments, and it should not be a problem to bring a sentence.

Ouyang Yu said that cooking is cooking, and there is no ambiguity at all, except for the work of dipping in water, from selecting dishes to picking vegetables, cutting vegetables, and putting them in the pot, everything is done by himself, and Gong E on the side has no chance to interfere, so she has to watch from the sidelines.

When the nurse heard that the queen was cooking in the kitchen, she pulled Yan Feng in her arms and the ninth princess also came to join in the fun, so she saw a bunch of people around the door of the kitchen.

Gongsun Yuting, who drank in the Yueru Song Pavilion for a long time, also heard the palace lady who sent the wine say that the queen was going to cook to entertain the guests, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

"Thanks to the Prime Minister, my queen, who has not cooked for many years, actually cooks in person today, and this king is very happy" Gongsun Yuting slapped the table excitedly and looked at Ye Qiuke with a smile.

"The king of Chu smiled, Ye Mou is the blessing of the king of Chu, and he can cook and entertain the queen mother in person, and he is really speechless" Ye Qiuke was already surprised when he heard that the queen was cooking in the imperial kitchen.

"How? Is Prime Minister Ye willing to appreciate the light, follow me to Zhilan Hall to taste my queen's craftsmanship? Gongsun Yuting's face was full of anticipation.

"This is natural, the queen cooks herself, how can Ye not appreciate the light?" Ye Qiuke said that he would leave, and with Gongsun Yuting coming out of the Yueru Song Pavilion, there was no reason to shirk this matter.

The two talked all the way about Ouyang Yu's usual food house, and from a distance, they saw that the palace ladies of Zhilan Hall were all greeted at the door, and there was a faint fragrance in the cold wind.

"It seems that Ye Mou came by chance today, the queen actually made stewed elbows, smelling this fragrance, you know that the heat is just right"

The two paused for a moment at the door of Qingcaiju, Ye Qiuke praised Ouyang Yu for a while, and the group of palace ladies at the door heard Ye Qiuke praise the queen mother like this, and all of them smiled on their faces.

"Well, knowing the dishes based on the fragrance, Prime Minister Ye Cheng is really amazing!" Gongsun Yuting smiled heartily and raised his feet to enter the door first.

"Where is it, the queen mother of the King of Chu is really powerful!" Ye Qiuke felt a little uncomfortable when he smelled the fragrance, and it was rare to meet the elbow made by Queen Chu herself, but because he drank a lot of wine just now, his stomach couldn't fit it.

"Your Majesty, the queen said that there is still one last dish to be completed, please the king and the distinguished guests to dine first" After the two of them arrived at the dining hall, the palace ladies who had already been preparing to serve here took out the dishes from the food box, and they were still steaming.

"Wait, don't be in a hurry to serve the food first, it's not too late to wait for the queen to come" The queen mother cooked herself, but let herself eat with the king of Chu first, the king of Chu also said that in the past, he couldn't do it, Ye Qiuke knew that it was inappropriate, and he was busy calling the actions of the palace laves.

Gong E on the side didn't know Ye Qiuke's identity, let alone his temperament, so she naturally didn't obey what she said to him, until Gongsun Yuting nodded, and then silently put the food back into the food box.

Ye Qiuke just took advantage of this time to take a look at the Qing Cuisine House where the Queen of Chu was eating, and he had heard that the Queen of Chu was elegant and refined, and today he saw this Qing Cuisine House, and the fresh clothes and ornaments of the palace ladies in her palace, I have to believe that her style is really similar to the rumors, but I don't know what about this person?

The two didn't wait long, just as the two were talking and laughing, they heard a movement in the door next door, and after a while, they saw a group of people coming from next door, Ye Qiuke saw a woman in plain clothes holding a baby in her arms, walking in front elegantly, Gong E on the left hand holding a big stone pot in her hand, followed by a four-year-old boy on the right hand, and a bunch of Gong E behind her.

"Could it be that the kitchen of this Qingcai House is next door? But there was no sound at all! Ye Qiuke looked at the direction where everyone came, it was actually next door, he was shocked, a wall apart, but it was like a few miles away, and he didn't notice it at all.

"Your Majesty, entertaining distinguished guests without informing the concubine makes me anxious for a while" As soon as Ouyang Yu stepped into the door with both feet, he complained coldly, his steps were windy, his face was angry, and holding swaddling clothes couldn't hide her powerful temperament.

When Ye Qiuke heard Ouyang Yu speak, he withdrew his free eyes, and when he looked at Ouyang Yu who walked in again, he was startled, his eyes blinked several times, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.

"Senior Brother Bai Yu?" I only heard Ye Qiuke call at Ouyang Yu, and Gongsun Yuting on the side was also stunned, looking at Ouyang Yu in confusion.

"White jade? This distinguished guest has recognized the wrong person, the surname of this palace is Ouyang, although there is also a jade character in the name, but this palace is red-faced, not a white jade boy" Ouyang Yu smiled faintly, changed the position of the swaddling clothes in his arms, and looked at Ye Qiuke carefully.

"I'm really sorry, Ye Mou actually mistook the queen for an old friend of mine" Realizing that he had lost his attitude, Ye Qiuke hurriedly apologized, but his eyes still looked at Ouyang Yu in disbelief, thinking about it carefully, his white jade junior brother is no longer alive, not to mention, the queen of Chu in front of her is a red lady, she really shouldn't be so gaffe.

"It's not in the way, the world is big, and people with similar appearances abound, but this palace is the first time that she knows that she is similar to a man" Ouyang Yu handed the ninth princess in his arms to the nurse on the side, sat down, and looked at Ye Qiuke and said jokingly.

"It's Ye Mou's gaffe, and I hope that the queen won't take it to heart" Ye Qiuke laughed helplessly.

Ouyang Yu, who was sitting next to Gongsun Yuting, gently pushed Gongsun Yuting, and motioned him to help him block this polite Prime Minister Ye, he was just joking with him, he got serious, it was really boring, if he went down like this, he might as well withdraw as soon as possible, and leave these two big men to drink slowly.

"The prime minister doesn't have to be so stubborn, this king and queen have always liked to joke, and this king is too favored on weekdays, so don't be surprised by the prime minister" Gongsun Yuting received the hint and hurriedly jumped out to help speak.

Gongsun Yuting was also very helpless in his heart, Ouyang Yu's temperament he knew best, he had always been like this, and he was straightforward, most of it was just a joke.

In fact, neither Ye Qiuke nor Gongsun Yuting saw it, and when Ouyang Yu quietly hinted at Gongsun Yuting, his eyes flickered, and a moment of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared, and then looked at Gongsun Yuting quietly, as if he was deliberately avoiding Ye Qiuke's gaze.

"Ye Mou has a few words that he wants to ask the queen mother, I don't know..."Ye Qiuke still didn't give up, hesitated, looked at Ouyang Yu's face, and had many questions in his heart to figure out.

"Prime Minister Ye Cheng, please say" Ouyang Yu is also refreshing, elegant and calm.

"Does the queen have brothers and sisters?" Ye Qiuke asked nervously,

"There is still a little brother in the family of this palace, but he has never been out" Ouyang Yu easily coped.

"But what cousins are there?" The feeling in Ye Qiuke's heart was getting more and more wrong.

"There are quite a lot of cousins in this palace, and those cousins who are the same age as me are also perennial and don't go far away" Pulling the topic away, Ouyang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Oh, from this point of view, my white jade junior brother is really no longer alive" Ye Qiuke, who was dead, sighed,

"Don't you know whether your junior brother is dead or alive?" Gongsun Yuting asked curiously, and Ouyang Yu on the side secretly pinched a handful of sweat.

"When I was in the wanton years, I had no interest in the world's major events, often marched around, my father's expectations for me also gave up, by chance, I worshiped the bitter dust swordsman as a teacher, into the bitter sword gate, Bai Yu junior brother than I started later, but I was the closest, we stayed together in the bitter sword gate for three spring and autumn periods, later, my father asked someone to write from the south, my father said that the south is the beacon fire to push the tower, when the wolf smoke is everywhere, as the general of the south, my father is ready to die on the battlefield at any time, He also told me that if he is gone, I must go back to guard the gate of the southern kingdom."

Ye Qiuke recalled the past, his tone was shallow, his eyes were foggy, as if he was unwilling to unravel the past, but he was immersed in the memories by himself.
