When the two were talking happily, suddenly Li Luoyao broke in, she was wearing a light green light veil, her face was beautiful, a little smile was in her eyes, and the silver bell on her waist moved with the wind when the lotus step moved lightly.

As if looking back inadvertently, after seeing Chu Jinrong, he was like a frightened deer, Chu Chu's pitiful autumn eyes flashed, and Shi Shiran walked over. And the two of them also stopped laughing, looked at the comer, hugged their chests in unison, and looked at the direction Li Luoyao came from for a long time, with a smile on their lips.

Li Luoyao thought that Chu Jinrong was interested in her, and she was secretly happy in her heart, and it was not in vain that her mother dressed her up carefully for several hours. She walked up to Chu Jinrong and saluted, her voice slow, "The courtiers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Chu Jinrong responded with little interest, "What's the matter?" His voice was low and unexpectedly beautiful, like a feather tugging at a person's heartstrings.

Li Luoyao's heart couldn't help but move, she hung her head shyly, "Father asked the courtiers to come and invite His Highness to the front hall for lunch," she paused, looked up at Li Qiuchi's eyes obviously flashed with self-satisfaction, and her voice unconsciously slowed down, "Sister go with you." ”

Li Qiuchi was speechless in his heart, he really didn't understand where this Li Luoyao came from, and his eyes provoked her, not naïve. She rolled her eyes and was about to speak, when Chu Jinrong's faint voice sounded beside her.

"Oh, really?" He couldn't see emotion on his face, but his eyes were pitch black, "Is there no one in the Chaoyang Hou Mansion?" Let you do the work of the subordinates such as passing the meal. ”

Li Luoyao was ecstatic in her heart, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was caring about her? She was extremely reserved on her face, she lowered her head slightly, and her voice was like a mosquito fly, "If you can share your father's worries, it is a blessing for the courtier." ”

"Hmm." Chu Jinrong nodded clearly, his voice was silent, "That's right, as a concubine, you are equivalent to a servant girl-like existence, and it is understandable to do some work to please the Marquis of Chaoyang." ”

The smile on Li Luoyao's face froze in place, and her hands tightened unconsciously.

"Ahem!" Li Qiuchi was choked with saliva on the side, and his shoulders were smiling and twitching, and it was really hard to hold back. Sure enough, Chu Jinrong is still Chu Jinrong, with the same poisonous tongue as he speaks.

At this time, Chu Jinrong hurriedly walked over and smoothed her back with concern, his voice was gentle to the extreme, "Why are you so careless?" How better now? ”

Li Qiuchi twitched the corner of his mouth, shaking off the goosebumps on the ground, "It's much better." ”

She looked up inadvertently, but saw that when he looked at Li Qiuchi with a pair of dark eyes, the gentle pampering in his eyes was about to thicken with honey, and for some reason, her heart also skipped a beat. His gentleness overlapped with the teasing figure of the past, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake for a while.

Li Luoyao saw that the two of them got along affectionately, their hands clenched unconsciously, and the jealousy and hatred in her eyes were about to burst into flames, she took a deep breath, felt so angry that she trembled, and left in a hurry after bowing.

After she left, the two looked at Li Luoyao's angry stomping away, Li Qiuchi suddenly smiled and asked, "Why do you keep scolding her?" ”

Chu Jinrong raised his eyebrows, "Don't you think it's particularly fun to watch others dare to be angry and not dare to attack?" ”

Li Qiuchi burst out laughing, his eyes crooked with laughter.

At the dinner table, Li Qiuchi looked at the table full of eight treasures and jade food, with a smile in his eyes, and couldn't help but move his index finger, and a dull dry cough came from the side.

The bamboo chopsticks in her hand had not been put down, and she looked back at Li Xingzhao who was hinting at her crazy eyes suspiciously, "Is my father having bad eyes?" You'll have to ask a doctor to take a look. As she spoke, she was about to open her mouth to call the slaves outside in, but Li Xingzhao hurriedly stopped her.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm blinded by the wind and sand for a while."

Chu Jinrong, who was sitting in the main seat, pressed the corners of his curved lips, took a sip of tea and almost choked.

Seeing that Li Qiuchi hadn't moved yet, his face was dark, and he raised a kind smile: "Qiu'er, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't moved yet, you can wait." ”

Chu Jinrong reluctantly let the maidservant next to him put a piece of spicy black chicken in his mouth, and his eyes lit up, and he unconsciously ate a few more bites. He smiled mildly: "This skill is not half a point worse than the skill of the palace cook." ”

When the Liu family saw Chu Jinrong eating with relish and full of praise, she was immediately happy in her heart, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not the cook of our Hou Mansion, but the daughter of the courtier, whose name is Luo Yao." ”

Chu Jinrong coughed a few times when he heard this name, "Cough, cough, cough......"

Li Luoyao hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, Chu Jinrong was choking and didn't look at who it was, so he hurriedly took it and poured a few big mouthfuls, only to see Li Luoyao hanging her head shyly and charmingly, and her face was also flushed.

Li Qiuchi looked at it from the side, and suddenly felt like she was hooked by a barb, feeling sour, she sandwiched a chopstick black chicken, and after chewing it twice, her face turned dark, "On this hot day, what do you do to make spicy black chicken, and the black chicken is stewed soup as the best taste, if you put too much spicy, it will be self-defeating." ”

"And this pastry, it looks so exquisite, but it doesn't taste very good, it's just a virtual appearance, and it has no practical use."

Li Qiuchi continued to eat, while making her tirade sourly, completely ignoring Li Xingzhao, who glared at her fiercely.

Chu Jinrong saw Li Qiuchi's face blackened into the bottom of the pot, and he was immediately happy, he quickly picked up a delicate pastry in front of him, took a bite and nodded with a smile, "Hmm!" Not bad! This pastry is sweet but not greasy, how can it be flashy? ”

Li Luoyao's originally iron-green face bloomed in an instant, and the corners of her mouth were like sweet honey. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has her in his heart, otherwise why would he help her?

Li Qiuchi listened to him, and then looked at Li Luoyao's face like a sow in estrus, she was extremely unhappy, she sneered, "Whatever you want." She picked up the green pepper mandarin fish next to her, and the tender meat was easily scratched off, and she ate a piece at random, just about to continue to find faults.

Chu Jinrong next to her was one step ahead of her and smiled and said gently: "The so-called Peach Blossom Lake Water Mandarin Fish Fat, this plate of green pepper mandarin fish, the meat is fat and tender, it must also be from the Peach Blossom Lake outside the suburbs of Beijing, right?" ”

Li Luoyao nodded again and again in surprise, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really talented, this plate of green pepper mandarin fish is from Peach Blossom Lake, and the water in the pool nourishes a side of water and soil." ”

Chu Jinrong glanced at Li Qiuchi as if inadvertently, she clutched the chopsticks in her hand tightly, almost broken, and there was a hint of imperceptible vinegar in her eyes. He hooked his lips even more happily, while praising Li Luoyao's other dishes.

The more he praised Li Luoyao, the happier he was, and the Liu family was so proud that his tail was about to, and the more unhappy Li Qiuchi became.

When he was about to end lunch, Chu Jinrong bent his lips, "It is worthy of being a child educated by the Marquis of Chaoyang, and this cooking skill is also first-class." ”

Li Luoyao was proud in her heart, and now it seemed that Li Qiuchi was about to be disliked. She bowed shyly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good reputation. ”

Liu Shi hurriedly smiled: "Luo Yao has been humble since she was a child, even if she has more skills, she will never show it, if she marries in the future, she must be able to get a lot of praise in her husband's family." ”

Li Luoyao forcibly suppressed the joy in her heart, and shyly sneered, "Mother, why did you talk about this." ”

"yes." Chu Jinrong took a sip of tea with a light smile and said a plausible word. glanced at Li Qiuchi and found that her face was puffing up, constantly sandwiching vegetables, and the fish in the bowl was almost minced. His lips under the teacup, like a bright spring sun, suddenly evoked.

The two turned their heads to look at him in surprise, and Li Luoyao's heart stirred ecstasy, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this? Could it be that you want to ......

"But if you marry into this rich and noble family, you don't have to do it yourself, wouldn't it be a waste of this good craft," Chu Jinrong put down the teacup, and his smile was as gentle as the warm sun, "It's that honest official, there are few people around to serve, and it's just right to marry." ”
