The dining hall of the Imperial Study. Ye Xiaoyan made a table of Baiwei Lou's signature dishes.

The emperor saw more than a dozen dishes on the table and said, "So many? How can the three of us finish eating. ”

Ye Xiaoyan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, if you can't finish eating, you can reward it to others!" However, if the emperor wants to lose weight, don't reward it. ”

"Lose weight?" The emperor is very unfamiliar with this word.

"Eating alone doesn't make you fat. If you eat it alone, you won't get fat. ”

The emperor glanced at Ye Xiaoyan. In "Treatise on Incurable Diseases", there is a discussion about the harm of obesity to physical health, and he happened to take a look or two.

The emperor sat down, tasted every dish, and then rewarded the boiling fish to Concubine De without hesitation. Because he can't eat spicy, although this dish is spicy and refreshing, he knows that he can't eat it, and Concubine De happens to like spicy. Pepper-flavored pork ribs and fried eggplant boxes, which one to choose for the queen? The emperor hesitated.

Ye Xiaoyan saw the emperor hesitate and said, "Your Majesty, there is only that pot of boiling fish, but there are still pepper-flavored pork ribs and fried eggplant boxes in the kitchen." ”

The emperor said, "Then give it all to the queen." ”

Then the emperor ordered someone to send the braised lion's head to the queen mother's palace, and gave fried spring rolls to Concubine Ye.

The emperor asked Ye Xiaoyan while eating: "These are all dishes from Baiwei Building?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, these are the signature dishes of Baiwei Building." Ye Xiaoyan has the tone of a shopkeeper.

The emperor snorted when he saw her hippie smile. This girl is not afraid of him at all!

"Girl, you can sit down and eat."

Ye Xiaoyan was cooking on the side, and when she heard the emperor call her "girl", she was slightly stunned, and then asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, why do you also call 'girl'?" ”

The emperor said: "I was not born to be the emperor. When I was a prince, I traveled around and heard an old peasant in the countryside call his daughter 'girl', and I thought it was very affectionate. What a pity! I called Qin'er 'girl' once, and the queen got angry with me, saying that I disliked her and gave birth to a daughter, and then I stopped calling her 'girl'. ”

Ye Xiaoyan listened, her eyes shining, and said, "Your Majesty, I think this title is very kind. It's true! Really kind. Even though you call me 'girl,' I am glad to hear it. ”

The emperor looked at her, as if he had seen through her flattery, and said, "Come on, put away your set." You'er told me just now, you and the Duan family kid are planning to make a big deal, what's that word called? The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Oh, by the way, monopoly." According to your plan, you plan to fight me in the future, don't you? ”

Ye Xiaoyan glanced at Nangong You, and there seemed to be resentment in her eyes. Then he said to the emperor: "No, the emperor. As far as my small business is concerned, let alone the future, it is impossible to argue with you in the next life. I just painted bread for them to satisfy their hunger, and sketched the future with them, so as to boost their fighting spirit. Under the whole world, it is not the emperor's land, you say that this is a crime, this is a crime, say take it back, take it back, how can a small ant shake the big tree. ”

The emperor looked at Ye Xiaoyan's small mouth and closed it one by one, smiled secretly, and said: "Girl, it's a good thing to be smart, don't be smart but be mistaken by being smart." ”

Ye Xiaoyan's face stiffened slightly. Could it be seen by the emperor? She deliberately said that to Nangong You, she knew that Nangong You's speech in front of the emperor was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. She planned to make the emperor also interested, and then pull the emperor in. The treasury is not abundant, and the emperor's private treasury is estimated to be not rich. With this plan, she can not only make money for herself, but also benefit the country and the people. With such a win-win thing, what reason does the emperor have not to do it?

The emperor saw Ye Xiaoyan's face stiffen, and knew that he had guessed correctly. Nangong You is his son, and he knows his son too well. Those words were not taught by Ye Xiaoyan to You'er, but Ye Xiaoyan first encouraged him, and then let You'er tell herself. Her plans were indeed good, but he was a little upset that she had brought them to him in this way.

It's one thing for him to call her "girl", but it's another for her to use Yu'er. You'er was unsuspecting of her, although the emperor also knew that Ye Xiaoyan would not be unfavorable to You'er, and she did it for the Xuanwang Mansion. But he just didn't like it.

This woman from another world seems to still have to be trained and trained. The emperor thought.

Nangong You saw the emotional changes of his father and Yan'er, but he didn't know what was going on. Yan'er glanced at him resentfully just now, and he knew that Yan'er blamed him for having a big mouth again. But he's also for her! He wants to help Yan'er speak in front of her father, and he wants to help her achieve what she wants. What did my father mean when he said, "It's good to be smart, but don't be smart but be mistaken by smart"? Nangong was puzzled.

Ye Xiaoyan let out a long sigh in her heart. Failed to test the waters!

After lunch, the emperor went to deal with political affairs, and Ye Xiaoyan and Nangong You left the imperial study.

Ye Xiaoyan said that she wanted to go back, but Nangong You didn't say a word, and immediately ordered the carriage to go home.

Back at the palace, Ye Xiaoyan took off her dress, took off her headdress, and got into the quilt with her hair scattered, she wanted to take a nap. Now she's in a bit of a bad mood, and maybe she'll be fine when she wakes up.

Nangong You could see that she was depressed, and also accompanied her into the bed.

Ye Xiaoyan lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and reflected on herself.

Nangong You's big hand stroked her lower abdomen, put his head to her ear, and asked with hot breath, "What's wrong?" Are you mad at me? ”

"Nope." Ye Xiaoyan said calmly.

"Then why are you suddenly upset?" Nangong You is already familiar with Ye Xiaoyan's uncertain personality.

"I'm sorry, my dear." Ye Xiaoyan said suddenly.

Nangong was puzzled and asked, "Why did you say I'm sorry?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan said calmly: "Actually, today's incident is that I used you in advance. ”

Exploit? These two words burst out in Nangong You's heart. He asked, "What are you using me for?" ”

Ye Xiaoyan told Nangong You all about her business plan on purpose, and then knew that he would explain it to the emperor in front of him, so that after the emperor was interested, she would talk to the emperor again, so that she could strive for the greatest benefits. However, her cleverness was seen through by the emperor, and the emperor's words were a warning to her.

Nangong You's hand slowly moved away from Ye Xiaoyan's lower abdomen. He suddenly felt like a fool. He is wholeheartedly for Yan'er, if Yan'er needs him to do something, just tell him directly, why do you want to bend like this. He always thought that he and Yan'er were unreservedly sincere, but he didn't expect that Yan'er would leave a hand on him.

Nangong You felt that his heart was a little heavy.
