It turned out that because the two of them had just opened the ban in the past few days, Lu You was a hot-blooded young man in the right age, Yan Yan was half curious and half for Lu You, but he also half-pushed and half-catered to his enthusiasm, but in order to find a high-sounding reason for herself, she said that it was to reward him for his hard work these days.

No, Lu You remembered.

Yan Yan saw that the maids had run away, and he was not afraid of blushing, so he stepped forward and pinched Lu You's face, "Husband, in the future, this kind of thing can only be said to me secretly, and it can't be heard by outsiders, do you know?" ”

Lu You blinked, and replied with a smile on his face, "Okay." ”

After Yan Yan finished speaking, she was about to get up and change her clothes, but Lu You grabbed her, "Eat more." Enter the palace, serve the meal, and be hungry. ”

This is to remind Yan Yan that after entering the palace, he has to wait for the Queen Mother to eat, and let Yan Yan make up for it first.

"It's too late." Yan Yan mended a bowl of meat, and then rinsed her mouth with green salt and tea, and then called Qinghe to come in to help her change her clothes.

Half an hour later, Yan Yan took Qingyu and Qingyun to the gate of the palace.

Although it was not the first time she had brought food into the palace, the guards at the door were also taken aback when they saw the two hard big leg of lamb in Qingyu's hand and the dozen or so bottles and jars of seasonings and ingredients in Qingyun's food box, not to mention that Yan Yan was still holding a copper object in his hand that they had never seen before, so the guards at the door didn't dare to let them in, and ran to ask the people above.

After such a delay, the news spread, so when Yan Yan arrived at Cining Palace, several people gathered in Cining Palace.

His Royal Highness Li Sui was the first to arrive, and he had already received a message from Yan Bin, saying that Yan Yan had invited him to eat a meal of mutton, and he almost swallowed his tongue in it, so he knew that Yan Yan had entered the palace today, and he had come to wait early.

Coincidentally, he saw the guards in the courtyard communicating to the eunuchs, saying that Yan Yan had brought a strange copper pot and two legs of mutton into the palace, and the guards asked if they would be allowed to go, how dare the eunuchs call the shots, and turned around to ask the queen mother.

And Li Sui heard that Yan Yan really brought two leg of mutton into the palace, and hurriedly ordered someone to send the news to Li Ji, Li Sui, Li Zhi and others.

The emperor was the second to arrive, he came after receiving a report from the guards, not for food, but last time he had some words Yan Yan and said thoroughly.

In fact, the situation between the DPRK and China has changed a little in the past two days, and Lu Duan, who had firmly hoped that the Great Zhou and the Jurchens would join forces, suddenly wavered, and was also in favor of joining forces with the Liao State, but the Wenchen of the DPRK and China still tended not to help each other.

Another point, Li Cong received news that the secret envoys sent by the Jurchens and the Liao State and the Western Xia were already on the way, and he had to make a decision on this matter as soon as possible.

Based on this reason, Li Cong also put down his official duties and entered Cining Palace.

Li Cong didn't think much about it when she entered the door, the guards could come to ask for her opinion, and they would definitely inform the emperor first, but the arrival of Li Ji, Li Sui and Li Zhi really made the Queen Mother happy.

She thought that Li Ji wanted to see Yan Yan and was afraid that the elders would be too careful, so she pulled Li Sui and Li Zhi to accompany her, so she was really a little unhappy and uneasy in her heart.

Fortunately, without waiting for her to ask, Li Sui took the first step to accuse her, saying that they were all here for Yan Yan's food.

"Imperial grandmother, I sent letters to several elder brothers, and I thought that this good thing could not be enjoyed by me alone, so I called all three elder brothers." Li Sui is frank and innocent.

"It's not a thing, the main lord hasn't shown up yet, you can't wait for this group of eaters, but you are still a royal child who has seen the world." The Queen Mother shook her head and said angrily.

But after all, she is still a little proud in her heart, the children trained by her sister are different from others, and so many people are worried about even making a meal.

"Little Liu, you're not too young, why are you still worried about eating all day long?" Li Cong also criticized.

"Father, my son hasn't tied his hair yet." Li Sui grinned at Li Cong.

Li Cong was about to say something more, but he saw the eunuch outside the door shouting, "The grandmother of the Lu family has come here", and then Yan Yan personally came in with a big copper pot.

Li Sui was the first to rush over and put the copper pot next, "Sister Yan'er, what is this?" ”

"The women knocked on the Queen Mother." Yan Yan's hands were empty, and he didn't care about answering, but knelt down to salute first.

"Girl, you still have a big face, you haven't entered the palace yet, and we all rushed here after receiving the news." Li Cong didn't wait for Yan Yan to kneel down and said first.

"Thank you for your face." Yan Yan still knelt down and saluted Li Cong.

"Okay, can you tell us what you're going to eat today? I'm really curious about what's on your head? The Queen Mother looked at the copper pot in Li Sui's arms and asked.

She has seen a lot of large and small pots, but she really didn't see that the copper pot in Li Sui's arms was a thing, to be honest, she thought it was a night pot at a glance, but she knew that it was impossible for Yan Yan to bring a night pot into the palace.

Coincidentally, Li Sui studied the things in his arms and came to this hilarious conclusion, but he didn't have the profundity of the Queen Mother, so he asked directly, "Sister Yan'er, is this a night pot?" ”

"Sixth brother Hugh has to talk nonsense." Li Ji held back a smile and reprimanded, but unfortunately it was too late, Li Sui's words had already been asked, and Li Cong laughed on the spot.

Yan Yan was embarrassed when he heard this, "Back to His Royal Highness, this is a kind of pot, which burns charcoal and eats while cooking, which is also called hot pot." ”

"Hot pot? You're not trying to tell us that these two legs of lamb are going to be cooked in this pot, are they? Li Cong looked at the two legs of mutton in Qingyu's hand and asked, how can you put it down.

"Yes, but I still need a few tools, first two sharp knives, a few more plates, a pot of freshly boiled hot water, a basket of fine smokeless charcoal, and finally everyone's own dishes and chopsticks."

As soon as Yan Yan's words were finished, the eunuch standing in the middle of the room glanced at the emperor and turned around and went out, and soon someone brought the things.

Yan Yan saw that everything was all over and began to distribute the work, Qingyu cut the meat, the leg of mutton was frozen outside last night, this will be just cut into thin slices, Qingyun made a fire, and Yan Yan was responsible for making seasonings for everyone.

Soon the fire was ready, Qingyun asked and put the hot pot on the kang table, Yan Yan poured the boiling water into it, in order to improve the umami, she threw a few dried shrimp in the pot, and after the water boiled, Yan Yan put a plate of mutton slices into it, and after the meat slices changed color, they picked it up and put it in the seasoning and turned around, and they confessed first and tasted the first bite.

After Yan Yan tasted it, he used chopsticks to send the second piece of meat to the Queen Mother's bowl, and the Queen Mother picked it up and put it in her mouth very shamefully.
