"This is not a problem, since Mrs. Liu has cooked, I will invite Mrs. Liu to come with me, so as to taste how good this mandarin fish is." Zhao Kuangyan has always been very confident in Lin Qingqing's craftsmanship, and both Mrs. Liu and Lord Liu were conquered, so he wanted to see how Xu Wenyang reacted.

Xu Wenyang watched Zhao Kuangyan leave the table in a hurry, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bring a smile: "I heard that the Seventh Imperial Concubine is from a civilian background?" ”

Liu Dexing bowed, "Indeed, but this imperial concubine's cooking skills are a must, and she has a very good relationship with Clumsy Jing." ”

Xu Wenyang nodded, if he didn't look down on women before, now after eating this chili sauce, he doesn't look down on it so much.

After a while, Zhao Kuangyan brought Lin Qingqing over, and on the other side, Ah Chun also invited Mrs. Liu over.

"Lin Qingqing is really, now that you are pregnant, you can't mess around like this, you have to help persuade you in the future." Mrs. Liu hurriedly got up and went, and also told Ah Chun by the way.

"Slave and maid." Ah Chun nodded in response, he was really carried away by the excitement before, and then he had to let the princess pay attention.

"See Lord Liu, Prime Minister Xu." Lin Qingqing saluted respectfully, these two are extremely powerful ministers in the court, and offending any of them is not good for Zhao Kuangyan's future, so Lin Qingqing should be as careful as possible in everything he says and does.

"No need to be polite, what delicious food did you bring today?" Liu Dexing's eyes fell on the food box in Yin Wu's hand, sitting here just drinking tea, he was already hungry, this princess was really timely, and she sent charcoal in the snow!

The little guy on the side cleaned up the table and brought out all the dishes in the food box, and suddenly a fresh and fragrant smell came to the nostrils!

The people who had been admiring the flowers downstairs had already had their stomachs up to now, and they were now looking for them everywhere by the smell.

"What a fragrant smell! Seems to be ......"

"I know this smell, it should be the mandarin fish raised near the Tianyun Tower, but why is this taste different from the chef's cooking?"

"That's it, I've been here to eat before, the mandarin fish is really delicious, but the cook's skills are average, where is such a fragrant smell, my saliva is about to flow down!"

The old men who were checking the flowers in the ring also smelled the sudden fragrance of fish, and the empty city plan sounded in their stomachs, and the steward on the side saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain that the famous flower meeting in the morning was over, and the afternoon meeting would be held again at three o'clock in the afternoon!

The people had been hungry for a long time, and after the steward had spoken, they had left, and the crowd had dispersed, and the crowded hall had returned to its previous emptiness, and the surroundings were much quieter.

At this moment, Liu Dexing still estimated the movement downstairs, his eyes were almost glued to the mandarin fish and he couldn't get up, and when Mrs. Liu arrived, she couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw her husband's embarrassed appearance.

"Ahem!"

Mrs. Liu coughed heavily, "Master, Lord Xu is still there!" "Can't you just pay attention to your image!

Xu Wenyang hurriedly smiled and said that it was okay, everyone sat down in turn, the two mandarin fish were three or four catties, and the plates found in the kitchen were full, steaming slightly, and the red sauce and green green beans aroused people's appetite.

"Lord Liu, Prime Minister Xu, try Lin Qingqing's craftsmanship." Zhao Kuangyan took the lead in inviting, Liu Dexing couldn't bear it for a long time, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the meat on the fish's belly and hurriedly put it in his mouth, the fish meat was tender and smooth, the sauce was sweet and sour, with the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms and the umami of winter bamboo shoots, with the fish meat, it was fragrant and had an endless aftertaste!

Xu Wenyang went to eat braised mandarin fish first, simple cooking with Lin Qingqing's exclusive sauce, the first bite is the tenderness of the fish, the second bite is fresh and fragrant, one bite after another makes people can't stop at all!

Some reluctant to swallow the fish in his mouth, Xu Wenyang now knows why Liu Dexing admires her cooking skills so much, he has eaten a lot of abalone and shark fin on weekdays, but why can't he be as rich as this small mandarin fish?

The two mandarin fish and two vegetarian dishes were satisfied with the steamed buns, Xu Wenyang took a few sips of tea, and suddenly took out the things that had not been discussed before.

"Regarding the matter of cooperation, I wonder how His Highness thinks about it?"

Zhao Kuangyan drank tea, in fact, he had been thinking about this problem just now, I have to say that this Xu Wenyang is indeed a chicken thief, he actually wanted to take his recipe without spending a penny.

Because the two are talking about the so-called cooperation.

"Now that the prince is dazed, it is impossible for His Royal Highness not to know that the assassination some time ago was the prince's idea, it is better for you and me to cooperate, His Royal Highness has no heart to become a king, it is better to support the second prince of his compatriots, and also make some plans for his future."

I have to say that Xu Wenyang's words are very reasonable, the second prince Zhao Yicheng is his own brother, and he was born to the queen, and if he wants to stand in the throne, he must choose his own family.

Zhao Kuangyan didn't like this feeling of being calculated, and said that Xu Wenyang was taking refuge with the prince, but now he is here to persuade himself to defect to his second brother... I don't think much about the conspiracy and trickery in this, and the forces are criss-crossed, but it is difficult to figure it out for a while.

If he refuses to cooperate, then with his current weak power, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive in the DPRK and China.

In this case, this is not a multiple-choice question, but a required one.

There is only one way, and there is no other choice.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Kuangyan's mouth flashed with a hint of mockery, "Prime Minister Xu is right, but this matter is very important, and His Royal Highness still needs to think about it before he can give an answer, you shouldn't be in a hurry, right?" ”

Xu Wenyang nodded, "Naturally, there is no hurry, but it is better to plan earlier than to lose the opportunity, and Xu is also thinking about His Highness." ”

"Then thank you Prime Minister Xu."

Lin Qingqing sat on the side and listened to the conversation between the two, although he didn't know what he was talking about, but he always felt that there was a sword and a sword shadow between coming and going, and he couldn't help but clench his hand under the table.

Zhao Kuangyan responded to her with a smile indicating that he was fine.

Time passed in a flash, and it was time for the afternoon to open, but Lin Qingqing was too sleepy, so the two simply said goodbye to Mrs. Liu and others, anyway, they just came to enjoy the flowers, the flowers were also seen, the fish were eaten, and Lin Qingqing was satisfied.

On the way back, Lin Qingqing lay in his arms and asked, "Husband, what did you talk about with the prime minister before?" It's no wonder that she is curious, looking at Xu Wenyang's burning and compelling tone, no matter how she looks at it, it looks like her husband will suffer.

So Lin Qingqing had to ask clearly and see if he could help think of a way together.

Zhao Kuangyan stroked her head, and his tone was a little faint, "Xu Wenyang is very interested in the recipe of the chili sauce, and said that he is ready to exchange cooperation for the recipe." ”

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation? ”

"Naturally, it is to help the husband gain a firm foothold in the court, and now the prince's party has caused a lot of anger, and the second brother and the fourth brother have attracted a lot of powerful ministers when they see this opportunity, Xu Wenyang means to let the husband stand on the side of the second brother, and with his strength in the court, he can quickly help the husband stand firm."

Although Zhao Kuangyan said this in a weak tone, the meaning of it shocked Lin Qingqing's heartbeat.

In the case of the crown prince, why do the princes form gangs and factions?

That shows one thing, that is, the prince is going to be deposed!

Lin Qingqing covered his mouth, his eyes were full of incredulity, is it really good for the husband to tell himself directly about such a thing?

"Madame don't have to worry, it's good if you know me, for the husband, I believe that Madame will keep it secret."

Lin Qingqing nodded heavily, this is related to the future of his husband, it is best to rot in his stomach.

She thought about it carefully, and finally gave her own answer: "Since the husband has no second way, why not try to cooperate with Prime Minister Xu?" ”
