On the last day of the year, the clan relatives and nobles are usually going to enter the palace to receive a banquet. The nobles of Tianhuang gathered together, and they didn't seem to have a-for-tat confrontation with each other in the court, but only talked about the auspicious words of the parents.

The queen was also a lot quieter because of Xue Ke's safe exit from the palace last time, she guessed that it was the emperor who made a move, although he tried to knock on the side a few times, but the emperor had already developed a hidden temperament, which made you feel that he seemed to know and didn't seem to know.

In addition, King Qin's wedding is approaching, the procedures are cumbersome, and the queen is unwilling to fake her hands in the face of her son's marriage, so she can't take care of anything else during this time. just said unintentionally: "Que Er is about to get married, but the crown prince has been vacant, and the East Palace doesn't even have a decent side concubine or concubine, which is really a dereliction of duty for the concubine!" The concubines took a fancy to several young ladies from official families, and their talents and morals were also good, thinking that they would be canonized as princes and concubines after the beginning of spring, so as to extend the heirs for the royal family as soon as possible. ”

The prince replied nonchalantly: "Niangniang is bothered, my father is strict and economical, and the sons and ministers should follow suit, the few Zhaoyi sent by Niangniang before are excellent, if Niangniang feels that the concubines in the East Palace are vacant, it is better to raise their positions by one liter." ”

When the queen heard this, she smiled silently. In my heart, I thought about what was the use of those few people ascending to the sky, the prince couldn't enter the Furong Garden, and those people couldn't turn over the flowers no matter how powerful they were.

Because several princes have already opened their mansions, they do not keep the New Year in the palace, and they leave the palace after receiving the holy banquet. The prince was about to get into the carriage when he heard someone behind him shouting, "Brother, stay here." Looking back, it was indeed the King of Qin, who was dressed in black and stood by the carriage with a gentle face.

"Big brother, I heard that Longxingju has a few new dishes, so my brother ordered one, I wonder if my brother can reward my brother with a thin noodle and take it back to taste?"

The prince looked at him for a moment, nodded and said, "Then there is the third brother Lao." ”

King Qin immediately arched his fist and got into his own carriage, and the two carriages drove quietly on the road. Longxingju is a famous restaurant in the capital, the rules are very big, it has been closed a long time ago, obviously at this time it is for the king of Qin to start a fire again, and the food has been prepared, one by one in the food box.

The little eunuch who owned the Qin Palace, tried the dishes and then loaded them into the prince's car. When King Qin saw that the prince accepted it, he took his leave.

The carriage drove into the East Palace, and the prince said in a deep voice: "Take these to Baopu Courtyard." ”

In the Baopu courtyard, Xue Ke was just sleepy, and the whole person was nested on the kang. Ah Liu seemed to be infected by her, and she was also sleepy, only Mama Zhang insisted that she must keep the New Year, and persuaded her bitterly: "I said that there will be people who will set off artillery battles, but the girl woke up at that time and went sleepy, it is better to stay up again, let's eat Jiaozi, set off artillery battles, and sleep steadily." Xue Ke agreed, but just leaned on the collapse and took a nap.

When the prince came in, he only heard the silence in the courtyard, and after Xing'er reported it, he put the food box on the table again, and Xue Kefang was a little interested.

The prince said: "You eat the dishes of the chef of the East Palace every day, and today I ordered a few dishes from Longxingju, and I kept the New Year while eating." ”

Xue Ke looked at the dishes on the table, including more than 20 vegetarian dishes such as golden shoots and silver sprouts, rich flowers, etc., as well as a bowl of mushroom gluten topping noodles and a bowl of iceberg hawthorn cheese, and couldn't help but rejoice.

Ah Liu also smiled: "The girl just said that there is a bowl of somen noodles at this time, and it would be good to serve it with ice cheese, so His Royal Highness sent it over." ”

The prince said expressionlessly: "That's a coincidence. ”

Xing'er commanded the little girl to set the dishes, and at the same time wondered if you were sorry.
