Sun Lulu also knew how narrow the third prince's words just now would cause, so she said coldly: "The third prince said carefully, I just came to ask Brother Zhao about his wife's situation. ”

Sun Yuxuan and Wu Yihan, who listened to all the conversations throughout the whole process: "......" The current girl doesn't blink an eye when she lies?

The third prince didn't expose Sun Lulu's lies, but just smiled: "Since that's the case, I wonder if Lulu can appreciate her face and chat with this prince for a while?" ”

"Thank you for the invitation of the three princes, but the courtiers are a little tired, so I won't accompany the three princes." After speaking, she blessed the third prince, and then returned to her seat. also didn't care whether his refusal would make the third prince lose face.

Because of Sun Lulu's behavior just now, Zuo Xiang also heard the discussion of the people around him, and was immediately embarrassed, and when he saw Sun Lulu coming back, he said angrily: "You give me a good seat here, and I am not allowed to go anywhere next!" "He has been an official for so many years, and he has never been so embarrassed!

Sun Lulu also knew that she had made her father angry, and she didn't have the heart to go elsewhere next, so she obediently agreed.

Zhao Kangcheng knew that the three princes were helping him out of the siege just now, so he said softly to the three princes: "Thank you for the three princes for relieving the siege." ”

The third prince smiled and waved his hand, and said, "For the effort, Lord Zhao doesn't need to say thank you." Then he went back to his seat.

When the prince saw him return, he said, "You are nosy. ”

The third prince said: "What the imperial brother said, I am also for the good of the imperial brother, you see that you keep saying that you want to win over others, but you don't do anything, does the imperial brother still want people to take the initiative to come over?" There's no way, seeing that the imperial brother is like this, the imperial brother and I have no choice but to do it for me, sell more favors to others, and over time, people will automatically get close to us. ”

The prince glanced at him, but did not say anything, as if agreeing with his words.

Not long after, in the voice of the eunuchs, the emperor appeared in front of everyone with the queen and the four concubines, and everyone immediately knelt down and shouted: "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live; See the Queen, Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

The emperor sat on the dragon chair in the middle of the head, the queen sat beside him, and the four concubines sat down at the bottom of the two.

Today is the emperor's birthday, and the mood is very happy. He looked at the officials and their families who were kneeling on the ground, raised his hand and said, "No courtesy! ”

"Emperor Xie!" The crowd got up and sat down in their seats.

The emperor said: "Today is my birthday, I am very happy, you can participate in my birthday banquet, today you are here to drink to your heart's content, do not get drunk and do not return!" ”

The crowd said: "Yes! ”

The queen said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since everyone has arrived, why don't you let the banquet begin?" ”

The emperor nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a strong fragrance suddenly wafted into his nose, he paused, and asked in a loud voice, "What fragrance?" "And it smells like food!

As soon as the emperor asked, everyone's eyes looked in the direction of the three princes - in fact, the fragrance had been wafting in the imperial garden since the three princes came, and almost everyone smelled it! That's why under the emperor's question, all eyes looked at the three princes.

The emperor saw that everyone's eyes were all looking at the three princes, and he was a little puzzled, so he also looked at the three princes and asked, "Emperor, why are everyone's eyes looking at you?" Isn't that smell coming from you? ”

The third prince pretended to stand up helplessly, bypassed the desk, walked to the center, bowed to the emperor first, and said: "Father is wise, in fact, the emperor wants to give his father a surprise, but he never wanted his father to find out first." ”

"Oh? What is the surprise? The emperor asked with interest.

The third prince clapped his hands and motioned for his subordinates to bring the Buddha out of the wall - the stove was no longer needed at this time, after all, it was already going to be presented to the emperor.

Two eunuchs stood beside the three princes with ceramic pots, and the three princes said to the emperor: "Father, this dish is called Buddha jumping over the wall, which was specially obtained by the child from a person with superb cooking skills, and it is specially dedicated to his father." After speaking, he waved his hand and asked the two eunuchs to bring the Buddha over the wall to the table in front of the emperor, and then uncover the lid.

The moment the lid was lifted, a strong aroma emanated, which immediately caused the emperor, the queen and others to change their faces slightly: this fragrance is too tempting!

At this time, Chen Gonggong hurriedly asked people to fetch dishes, chopsticks and spoons. After the bowls, chopsticks and spoons were fetched, Chen Gonggong used a spoon to serve a bowl for the emperor, and then handed it to the emperor.

The emperor took the bowl, and he tasted the soup with a spoon first, and the delicious taste immediately melted in his mouth, making him want to swallow it with his tongue.

He couldn't wait to put an abalone in his mouth with chopsticks, and the tender meat of the abalone bit it off with a light bite of his teeth, and after chewing a few times in his mouth, he swallowed it eagerly-

It's so delicious!

The emperor sighed in his heart, but he was the emperor in the end, and he didn't show much on his face, but judging from the smile on his face, it could be seen that he was very satisfied with this dish.

The emperor said to the third prince: "I like this surprise very much! I wonder who you're looking for with great culinary skills? Can you be in the palace now? I will reward him well! ”

The third prince smiled: "She is not in the palace, in fact, you have heard of that person's father." ”

"Oh? I've heard of it too? "The emperor is even more curious.

The third prince said: "Yes, because that person is the wife of Lord Zhao!" As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at Zhao Kangcheng.

"Zhao Qing's wife?" The emperor also looked at Zhao Kangcheng with some doubts.

Zhao Kangcheng saw that the emperor had also come over, so he stood up, bypassed the desk, stepped forward, bowed to the emperor, and said, "Weichen see the emperor." ”

"No courtesy." The emperor raised his hand and said, "The third prince said that this Buddha jumping over the wall was from your wife's hand, but is it true?" ”

Zhao Kangcheng bowed his head and said: "Back to the emperor, it is true that as the third prince said, this Buddha jumping over the wall was made by Weichen's wife. ”

The third prince also said: "Father, you don't know, Lord Zhao's wife opened a restaurant, Mrs. Zhao's cooking skills are very good, and Erchen once went to eat with Uncle Huang and Zuo Xiang, and they were full of praise, Uncle Huang, don't you say?" He looked at King Jiang who was sitting beside him.

King Jiang stood up and said with a smile: "Indeed, Mrs. Zhao's cooking skills are indeed full of praise, and Lord Zhao has a good lady. ”

Hearing that King Jiang was praising Cai Xiaoxiao, Zhao Kangcheng turned around and saluted King Jiang and said, "Thank you for your praise." ”
