"Han Zhen has returned to Beijing." Wei Xiao handed the news sent in the morning to Yun Shumo, and the usual laughing expression had disappeared and was replaced by solemnity and seriousness.

Yun Shumo looked at the bright sky outside the window, as always, without any mood swings.

There were already people moving in the yard, and the barley soldiers were boxing in the yard, fighting vigorously, attracting several children.

Hua Qingyan packed herself up, asked Hua Biluo to bring the ingredients she prepared yesterday, and prepared to go to Washington early in the morning. As soon as she walked out of the door, Hua Qingyan saw Yun Shumo standing by the window. Hua Qingyan smiled at Yun Shumo, waved at him and walked out of the door with Hua Bi.

The exuberance outside the window contrasts sharply with the faint coldness of the closed study. It wasn't until Hua Qingyan's figure completely disappeared from sight that Yun Shumo turned to look at Wei Xiao.

"Han Zhen finally couldn't help it." Yun Shumo said lightly.

Han Zhen's mind Yun Shumo couldn't be clearer, because Hua Yaozong suppressed him before, he didn't dare to act rashly. After Hua Yaozong had an accident, the joy on Han Zhen's face couldn't be hidden. But he is still there, Daqi's military power is in his hands, and Han Zhen can't fight him even if he has the heart.

And now, Emperor Qiyuan abdicated, the little emperor did not return, in Han Zhen's eyes, this is the best opportunity, in his eyes, no matter how powerful Yun Shumo is, but he is only a regent, no matter how great his power is, he can't cross the imperial power.

Yun Shumo sneered: "Just let him go back, don't worry about him." ”

Wei Xiao's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard: "Lord Wang, this ......"

Yun Shumo snorted coldly again: "Han Zhen's purpose is nothing more than to help the second prince ascend to the throne. Yun Suiyue is too young, and she has not yet disappeared, in their opinion, this is the best time, and they will definitely not let it go. ”

"So we can't let them do it, my lord."

"Wei Xiao, you really should study hard with Fangxing." Yun Shumo's tone was flat, but it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with Wei Xiaopo in his words.

Wei Xiao understood what Yun Shumo meant, it was nothing more than that he was stupid. He himself admitted that among the three subordinates of the prince, he was the stupidest, and many things could only be thought of when the prince pointed them out. But he also has an advantage, that is, he will never guess, absolutely heartfelt! Of course, it's not that Yu Jiamin and Fang Xing are disloyal to Yun Shumo, but that he thinks he is above them.

Wei Xiao didn't talk anymore to make himself bored, but looked at Yun Shumo with blank eyes, thinking about letting his master solve his doubts.

Yun Shumo didn't continue to sell Guanzi, "Yun Suiyi wants the throne, and Yun Suiyang also wants the throne." Now that Yun Suiyi has made a move, Yun Suiyang will not sit idly by. ”

Wei Xiao clapped his hands, and his eyes lit up: "The power and status of the eldest prince and the second prince are now comparable, and both of them are bound to win this throne, so there must be a fight." And we only need to watch from the wall, as the so-called sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman! ”

Yun Shumo nodded: "That's exactly what it means." ”

Yun Suiyue pushed the door in, obviously hearing the conversation between the two, with a hint of anxiety on her face. didn't say any other nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Uncle Huang, I want to go back to Beijing." ”

"What are you going to do back to Beijing?" Yun Shumo asked.

Yun Suiyue looked at those dark eyes, he always felt that the emperor's eyes could see through everything, and he must be able to understand his thoughts: "I am already the emperor, I can't always hide here, I can't always hide behind the emperor's uncle." Uncle Huang once said that if you want to wear his crown, you must bear its weight, and I think I can. ”

Yun Shumo looked at Yun Suiyue quietly, maybe even Yun Suiyue himself didn't know how trusting his resolute expression was when he said these words, and the strong confidence exuded from his body made Yun Shumo think in a trance that this little guy who had only grown to his chest could already stand side by side with him.

Yun Shumo's heart suddenly rose with a feeling that my family has a child who will eventually grow up.

But despite this, when it comes to the entire Daqi Society, Yun Shumo can't be sloppy: "Do you know what you will face this time?" ”

"I know." Yun Suiyue nodded heavily: "The two imperial brothers are eyeing the throne, and there is a constant threat from enemy countries on the border, and there are even people in the court who frame Zhongliang. I know that I am small and incapacitated, and all of this will be an obstacle to my governance, but it is also a stepping stone on my way to growth. Uncle Huang, I am ready to fight to the end, please trust my nephew! ”

Yun Shumo didn't make a sound, even Wei Xiao held his breath at this time, although Yun Suiyue's words were a little pale, but they made both of them see his determination. Wei Xiao looked at Yun Shumo with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

After a long time, Yun Shumo finally smiled. He walked up to Yun Suiyue and patted him on the shoulder: "Your Majesty, you have finally grown up." ”

When Hua Qingyan led Hua Biluo and Yu Jiamin to Washington, the entire Washington Mansion was already busy, and more than a dozen large tables were placed in the entire courtyard, all of which were covered with red silk. A stage was also set up in front of the main house, apparently inviting a troupe to help the fun. Red silk and red lanterns can be seen everywhere, and the little maids and little maids are busy running around.

Hua Qingyan and the three of them were led in by Hua Lu and went directly to the kitchen. The kitchen is also busy, Master Jin has already occupied the entire stove, and is leading his little apprentice to cook without distraction.

"Miss Qingyan, all the ingredients I can get here have been prepared for you, and the next thing is up to you." Hua Lu looked at Hua Qingyan with hope and gratitude, knowing that Hua Qingyan nodded and said that he was relieved, so he left to go to the gate to receive the upcoming guests.

"Alright, let's get started."

The stove on the other side of the kitchen was empty, and the ingredients that Hua Qingyan needed were placed next to it, and this stove was obviously reserved for them. The three of them put down the rest of their stuff and got busy with their own ingredients.

Last night, Hua Qingyan had already handed over to them all the snacks and methods that needed to be made, and of course the tasks assigned to them were just simple processing of ingredients. The dim sum she made today was all something that Hua Biluo had never made, so she could only give Hua Qingyan a hand.

In order to match today's theme, Hua Qingyan searched for the dim sum recipe in her mind, and finally picked out several kinds of dim sum, and specially prepared a mold.

The first dim sum prepared by Hua Qingyan was the famous spot of the capital of the Celestial Empire in the previous life-Jing Ba Piece.

Today's Beijing eight pieces made by Hua Qingyan are puff pastry set meals. Puff pastry Kyo eight pieces are the softest. When you take a bite, your mouth will sink into the fluffy crust and the soft and fragrant cake. The eight pieces of dim sum are all sweet, but there are many kinds of sweet cakes, including the mellow sweetness of sugar and honey, the sweetness of lotus paste, the sweetness of roses, and the sweetness of hawthorn. It's so sweet and greasy all of a sudden, and there is a salt and pepper trap in the set meal to change the taste.

There were a total of twenty tables for the banquet outside, and Hua Qingyan prepared twenty-five tables, each set of which was made of a big red wooden box, and the pastries were stacked one by one and then presented. Of course, the people in the kitchen also got some tastes.

As early as when the various fillings were steamed, the whole kitchen was occupied by the sweet taste, and Master Jin had already stopped his movements and looked at Hua Qingyan with a blank eye, wanting to take a bite and try it.

There were quite a few people in the kitchen, but each person tasted an extra five sets that were not enough for each person. Therefore, Hua Qingyan could only shake her head, turned around, and silently rejected their request to be fed.

As it got closer and closer to noon, there were more and more guests in Washington, and the troupe on the stage had begun to sing, which was very lively. As today's birthday star, Mrs. Hua, who was dressed magnificently, was helped out of the main house by the three brothers.

Hua Qingyan took the time to get out of the kitchen and take a look from a distance, and heard that the old woman Hua eats fasting and recites Buddha on weekdays, and this look really has a kind and compassionate temperament on everyone. didn't make Hua Qingyan feel fake, but felt that the good reputation of the Hua family was not false.

Mrs. Hua was helped to the main table under the stage and sat down, greeted the guests in a very good mood, and said some words of thanks. When Mrs. Hua sat down, the dishes slowly began to serve. But the first thing to go on was the longevity noodles that Hua Qingyan specially made for the old lady.

Although longevity noodles are simple, Hua Qingyan is not simple. First of all, the noodles are not traditional noodles made of flour, but fish noodles made by Hua Qingyan with beaten fish minced fish mixed with glutinous rice flour and egg white. This fish noodle is stronger and more flavorful than traditional noodles. But it also made it difficult for Hua Qingyan to make longevity noodles, because longevity noodles are a whole noodle and cannot be broken. Loose fish mushrooms are very difficult to form.

Hua Qingyan thought about it all night, and finally let her come up with a solution.

With agar!

Black chicken boiled in broth base, served with fresh shrimp and winter bamboo shoots. As soon as this longevity noodle was served, Mrs. Hua smelled the incomparable fragrance. In particular, the longevity character carved from a small piece of carrot on the surface made Mrs. Hua's eyes light up, and Mrs. Hua, who is not good at talking on weekdays, is a little impatient!

"This is longevity noodles, I wish the old lady a long life!" Hua Biluo put the tray in front of the old lady and said an auspicious word with a smile.

"Good, good! Reward! Mrs. Hua said hello three times in a row, and she was happy and rewarded Hua Biluo with a red envelope, Hua Biluo thanked her with a smile and returned to the kitchen.

Mrs. Hua held on to the chopsticks and looked at the longevity noodles in front of her, but she didn't know how to start for a while, the crystal clear surface seemed to be condensed on the roof because of the cold in winter, and it was soft when she caught it with chopsticks. Mrs. Hua finally couldn't resist the temptation of the fresh fragrance, and set up the noodles and tasted them.

Fresh and strong, yet soft!

Mrs. Hua's eyes lit up, and the movements in her hands sped up a few points, nodding while eating, and after a while, a bowl of longevity noodles with three taels had all entered Mrs. Hua's stomach, along with the frightened winter bamboo shoots, and even the carrot was not spared.

The guests at the banquet had already been attracted by this fragrance, but because Mrs. Hua was the birthday star, her face was the earliest, and even if they were hungry now, they could only look at it with their eyes.

Mrs. Hua drank all the soup in the bowl in front of everyone's eyes, and then nodded with satisfaction: "This noodle is delicious, give me a good reward for this cook in a while!" ”
