When the barbecue was finally served, it was already sliced, and it hadn't reached the mouth yet, so look at the color first, well, it's quite tempting. Smell the fragrance again - what is baked is fragrant!

Incense is incense, but what is concocted like this, Queen Cao generally doesn't let her eat more.

Liu Yan tasted a slice first.

Well, the outside is a little crunchy, the inside is still very tender, the meat is not as hard and woody as ordinary barbecue, and it is not difficult to chew at all.

A slice of meat quickly soured down, and another slice ......

Gui Yuan only watched before, but seeing that the princess had already eaten several pieces of meat and didn't mean to stop, he hurriedly handed over a bowl of soup: "The princess drinks the soup and moistens it." ”

While Liu Yan was drinking the soup, Gui Yuan hurriedly moved the barbecue plate farther away, and transferred the other two light dishes by the way: "It's always windy these days, and people are easy to get angry. ”

Liu Yan smiled.

She understood what Guiyuan meant.

One is that she doesn't want to eat more roasted things, and the second is that there are many rules in the palace, and third, what are you going to do......

It should be because in front of Lu Yi, he can't make him feel that the fourth princess is a greedy person who can't control himself.

Lu Yi washed his hands and came back, but his body was smoked by the smoke of barbecue, and there was a smell of meat.

He has a large amount of food and a good appetite, and after this meal, Liu Yan has eaten almost half more than usual, and he can't stop worrying about eating longan, so he hurriedly asks people to prepare some tea.

Liu Yan didn't feel particularly panicked, but when she got up to walk after eating, she felt that her steps seemed to be heavier than before, and she was very steady and steady step by step.

It was snowing, the sky was gloomy, and there was no intention of sunning after lunch, Liu Yan was afraid that Queen Cao would be worried, so he was ready to return to the palace without any further delay, and Lu Yi sent her all the way to Jingfengmen. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhu Gai's car stopped, and Lu Yi lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.

"Go back quickly, change your clothes and wipe your hair clean."

Lu Yi must have been riding a horse all the way back, although he was wearing a hood, but the snow flakes were pervasive, and there was a lot of snow all the way, and then he was dried by the heat on his body, his face and hair were damp, and this was going to blow a cold wind all the way, and people must be cold.

"I know, the princess will drink a bowl of ginger tea when she goes back, don't catch a cold." Lu Yi said: "I forgot to mention just now that someone sent two pots of narcissus, and I will send them to Anhe Palace tomorrow." ”

Narcissus is not narcissus is actually an excuse, if you just send a letter or something, after all, it doesn't sound good, find an excuse to send something, in fact, it is mainly for the sake of passing the word. Send flowers, cakes, and gadgets that are rare in Beijing brought from other places, Liu Yan sometimes asks people to send him something. Books, pens, paper, and once asked someone to send him two pieces of material.

Liu Yan did not return to Anhe Palace.

It's not that she doesn't want to go back, it's that she met the emperor halfway through the road.

Then he was taken to Yilan Hall by the emperor.

According to common sense, the emperor rarely enters the harem during the day - there are many things, and many times he can't even use dinner with Queen Cao. Liu Yan remembered that during the spring drought, his father stayed in the Qinzheng Palace for most of the month, and the queen mother was worried that she would send soup every day, and she also told the imperial doctor to ask for peace every day.

Maybe it's snowing today, so my father came back early?

The Yilan Hall was warm, and Queen Cao was rarely idle at this time, and when she saw their parents coming together, she greeted them with a smile.

"The emperor is not busy today?"

"Fortunately, things are going well today." The emperor himself was not busy, and urged the palace people: "Hurry up and change the clothes of the fourth princess and bring some hot water." He also said Liu Yan: "It's snowing heavily and you're still running out, these days your mother doesn't care about you and puts you in the wild." ”

Liu Yan is diligent, what his father says is all in the air, anyway, he is saying that he will not really lock her up.

Empress Cao twisted a hot hand towel for the emperor, and asked Liu Yan again: "What did you eat at noon?" Have you eaten enough? ”

The words were asked by Liu Yan, and it was Gui Yuan who answered, she was articulate and remembered, and even Liu Yan ate a few slices of barbecue clearly.

Empress Cao glanced at Liu Yan: "Since you eat so greasy at noon, you should have a lighter dinner." ”

Liu Yan is not afraid of his father's preaching, but if the queen mother says so, it must be said that talking counts.

Most of the night, you can grab a bowl of vegetarian porridge or clear soup.

Liu Yan's face immediately pulled down.

Queen Cao didn't eat her.

Liu Yan actually ...... The constitution is not particularly good. The main reason is that the womb is weak, and the Liu family had a hard time when she was pregnant, natural disasters and military disasters, and it would be good to be able to eat a full stomach. Liu Yan was born, and Queen Cao didn't have much milk to feed her. It's just that Liu Yan is a child, she is very stubborn in her temper, and she doesn't want to eat rice cereal or anything when she feeds her, so she has to find other women who have milk at home.

Fortunately, she took good care of her later, and she was not sick, but her stomach was not very good, and she was too greasy, cold and hard, and it was not easy to restrain herself if she ate too much.

Queen Cao did what she said, and only asked the dining room to prepare porridge for Liu Yan.

Even if it's beef porridge, it's porridge, but there's a bit of minced meat in it.

That's enough minced meat for what?

The father also smiled and asked her, "What?" Is the barbecue so delicious? You don't usually eat much of the grilled stuff. ”

"It's delicious." Liu Yan said generously.

However, when his father mentioned barbecue, Liu Yan remembered what Lu Yi said before.

Taking advantage of Empress Cao's absence, Liu Yan quietly asked, "Father, do you know about Lu Yi's family?" ”

The emperor glanced at her: "Which one?" ”

It's not about asking anything, but about which one, which shows that the father really knows a lot.

"It's his brother's business."

"I know."

"Really." Liu Yan actually didn't suspect that Lu Yi was telling her a lie, but she just ...... Suddenly, when I heard such news, I couldn't believe it for a while.

"Well, I know that. It has been more than 20 years, and Lu Houhe took the initiative to tell me, saying that when he was injured and was hunted down, a farmer family rescued him, and he and the daughter of that family had a child. Because the family was dead, he took the child back and raised it as his own. He felt that he owed someone his life, and that the family probably had been killed because they had saved him, and he said that his wife was willing to treat the child as if it were her own. ”

"...... like this" sounds like General Lu is also excusable?

But Liu Yan always felt weird.

"What did Lu Yi tell you?"

"Hmm." Liu Yan nodded: "I didn't know before, he seems to be in a very bad situation at home." ”

The emperor touched his daughter's head: "I have also heard of this, it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs." ”

Also, since the emperor knows about General Lu, it is not considered a bully, and it is indeed difficult for the father to meddle in the family affairs of the courtiers.
