Chapter Ninety-Six: Caught in the Middle
"What did you say!"
Long Lingyue turned around and looked at the slave who had been keeping her head down.
"Princess, tonight, when I brought dinner to my son, my son said that he had something to do, so he went out and hasn't come back yet."
The palace maid's head was still low, Long Lingyue didn't tell her to look up, she could only keep it down like this.
"What you said is true?"
Although Fu Li is a proton, it can't resist the temperament on his body that makes people feel warm and wants to get closer.
A long time ago, she often saw that many palace maids would bring him food, but she had been out of the palace for two years, so I don't know if it is still like that.
"What the slave said is true, please let the princess know."
The little palace maid obviously hadn't seen much of the world, so when she heard Long Lingyue say this, she lowered her head even lower.
"Well, that's right." Long Lingyue lowered her head and muttered for a moment.
"Do you know where he went?"
She finally asked for this Yuxiao from Brother Jiu, and she must give it to him today!
"This ...... The slave maid remembered that he had not been a few steps away from Gongzi at that time, and he heard Lan Gongzi persuade him not to go to Concubine Yan so late. So the slave maid guessed that the son should go to the concubine. ”
The little palace maid looked down and tried to remember.
Concubine ......
Isn't that where Master is?
He's going to the master again!
Long Lingyue suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
She has liked him for so long, why does he just refuse to like her, Master is now the concubine of Seventh Brother, what is he going to do!
Entangled with her sister-in-law!
"Okay, I know, thank you, it's so late, you can go back and rest."
Long Lingyue finished speaking quickly, no longer caring about the little palace maid, and quickly left Fu Li's courtyard.
Fu Li, I said, I won't give up on you.
Not only for myself, but also for Master, Seventh Brother, and you!
……
In front of the dilapidated little yard.
Tonight, Xia Qiqi's small courtyard was extremely lively.
In addition to Long Yuechen, who has a noble status, there is also Long Lingyue, who has always lived in seclusion, and is alive and kicking on weekdays.
"That...... I said, "Have you made an appointment tonight?" ”
Xia Qiqi looked at the three people in front of him extremely speechlessly.
The area of the stone table under the strange tree is not large, and the dishes she makes are just right on it.
But now there are suddenly a few more people around the stone table, and the space is unusually small.
I don't know what's going on tonight, it's the first time she knows that her dilapidated courtyard is so popular, and even the emperor and princess are here.
The key is that tonight, it is the night when she completes the task given to her by Long Yuechen, and now the sudden extra Fu Li and Long Lingyue are going to make trouble!
"Hehe, that master, I've been your apprentice for so long, and I've never eaten the dishes you made yourself, it's really good to be able to eat it tonight."
Long Lingyue's voice was a little weak, and he lost his usual righteousness.
The head is also low all the time because of the weakness of the heart, and the body is a little twisted, and I can't see that the princess, who is usually straightforward, will have such a shy time
Seeing the current scene, Long Lingyue's heart was not very happy.
She originally thought that after she came, she should have seen Master and Fu Li.
But what is the matter with the seventh brother sitting next to her now.
She couldn't have imagined that Seventh Brother, who was so busy with business on weekdays, would actually have time to come to Master's place to eat, and he was Seventh Brother.
It seems that the Yuxiao in her hand can't be delivered tonight.
"Huh...... Hehe......"
Xia Qiqi twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly a few times.
This princess really doesn't have a backache when she stands and talks.
Didn't she see what it was like now?
The emperor of a country, the princess of a country, plus a person who doesn't know what his identity is, but his status is definitely not too low, in her small courtyard, it is enough to make his small courtyard go up in smoke.
And the most important thing is the minds of the three people.
Long Lingyue didn't have to guess that little thought, she already knew that she liked Fu Li.
It can be seen that Long Yuechen's meaning is resolutely opposed.
And between Fu Li and Long Yuechen, although the two are harmonious every time they meet, there is nothing wrong with it, but she can feel that these two people definitely hate each other.
And she, as the most innocent of the three, was sandwiched between the three people, she was the saddest one!
"By the way, Fu Li, it's so late, why did you come to me?"
Too lazy to talk to Long Lingyue, Xia Qiqi simply shifted his gaze to Fu Li.
Long Lingyue came over in a hurry not long after Fu Li came, so she didn't know why even Fu Li would come over now.
"This Ah, I haven't seen Xiao Qi much recently, and I came to find Xiao Qi during the day, and your slaves and servants all said that you weren't there, so I changed my plan to come at night, what's wrong? Can't you? ”
Fu Li smiled gently, no matter how unhappy Xia Qiqi was in his heart, he couldn't lift his spirit.
"Yes, of course, we are good friends, and it's normal for you to care about me so much."
Xia Qiqi laughed twice.
deliberately bit the word "good friend" very hard
Because she had clearly felt the strong low pressure coming from the man opposite her, she was afraid that if she didn't make it clear, it might not be as simple as a meal.
Long Yuechen secretly handed Xia Qiqi a look, and Xia Qiqi completely understood.
Count you as acquaintances!
Scold...... Hehe......
This person should not be so arrogant.
"Okay, since you're all here, Yangchun, go and get two more pairs of chopsticks immediately!"
Forehead......
Yang Chun looked at the other three people sitting on the stone bench, his face was a little wooden.
Could it really be that they have a taste problem? Could it be that what their mothers make is actually delicious in the world?
"What are you doing? Go ahead! ”
"Oh, yes, yes!" Yang Chun reacted at this time, nodded again and again, quickly went to the kitchen, and washed two pairs of dishes and chopsticks.
"What! I made these dishes myself, and if you don't dislike them, then let's start the meal. ”
Xia Qiqi looked at the three people with different expressions in front of him with a little embarrassment.
She estimated that if she hadn't been here now, the three of them would have been in trouble a long time ago.
Alas, it's not easy to make sandwich biscuits.
Xia Qiqi reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of fish-flavored eggplant in front of him, glanced at the three of them again, and finally, put the fish-flavored eggplant into his mouth.
It's so sweet!
Xia Qiqi stiffened his tongue, and hurriedly grabbed the tea on the side and poured it into his mouth, until the sweetness on the tip of his tongue subsided a little, then he put down the cup at once, raised his head and looked at them.
Forehead......
The corners of Long Lingyue's mouth twitched slightly, and her right hand was holding a pair of chopsticks, placed on a plate of shredded green pepper pork, she originally planned to taste it, but now, after watching her master's movements, her right hand suddenly paused on the shredded green pepper pork, and she didn't dare to move anymore.
After hesitating for a while, he finally put away his chopsticks, leaned next to Xia Qiqi, and whispered.
"Master, can you eat the food you cooked......
Looking at Master's appearance just now, it seems that these dishes cannot be eaten.
"What do you say?" Xia Qiqi knocked Long Lingyue's head with seven chopsticks, and Long Lingyue immediately frowned and pressed his forehead.
"How can I say that your master is also a chef-level character, what is the meaning of "can you eat your food"? I dare to doubt your master's ability, I love to eat or not, and I don't eat it. ”
After speaking, Xia Qiqi also deliberately glanced at Long Yuechen, who had not yet moved his chopsticks, next to him.
The words she said to Long Lingyue just now were actually for Long Yuechen, only by convincing Long Yuechen that the food she made was delicious, he would eat it, so that she could improve the task.
"Oh, got it, Master!"
Long Lingyue sat back in his place aggrievedly, silently picked up the chopsticks again, and struggled with a few dishes that were not very good, and in the end, he chose to bury his head in the rice.
She really didn't appreciate the food cooked by Master, so she should eat white rice, but fortunately the white rice was not made by Master.
"What's the matter, are you going to eat quickly?" Xia Qiqi saw that they didn't move for a long time, so he hurriedly persuaded again.
This is something she did with great difficulty, but she can't be sentenced to death without playing her role.
“……”
Long Lingyue continued to bury her head in cooking.
And Lan Yu and Jing Yi, who had been standing on the side, only twitched the corners of their mouths slightly.
Long Yuechen still didn't move his chopsticks, just looked at her strangely, with bad intentions in his eyes, and Xia Qiqi was a little infiltrating.
Fu Li, who was smiling, picked up the dishes and chopsticks first, picked up a piece of braised fish that was completely unrecognizable, looked at Xia Qiqi, and said with a smile.
"Since it's made by Xiao Qi himself, then I'll try it."
After speaking, he elegantly put the fish meat in his mouth and chewed it slowly, still smiling during the process, so that people could not see anything wrong.
After eating a piece of fish, Xia Qiqi immediately couldn't wait to look at him.
"How's that, how's that? Isn't it delicious? ”
Fu Li looked at Xia Qiqi, glanced at Long Lingyue and Long Yuechen, who were also very curious, and finally nodded gently.
"Well, the dishes made by Xiao Qi are delicious, I like them very much." After saying that, he sandwiched another piece of fish.
It's true?
Xia Qiqi was a little hesitant in his heart.
Could it be that she just made a mistake on the fish-flavored eggplant, but in fact, the other dishes are not bad?
And Long Lingyue on the side was also puzzled.
Is it really her bad luck to choose the most unpalatable dish?
For the first time, the two women, who had doubts about their luck, tacitly put their chopsticks into the plate of braised fish, sandwiched a piece of fish meat, and put it in their mouths.
"Phew!"
As soon as the fish meat entered his mouth, Xia Qiqi hurriedly spit on the ground, it was not enough to vomit, and he hurriedly grabbed it, grabbed a glass of water, and poured the water into his stomach with a grunt.
"Damn! What is this? It's so unpalatable! ”
Xia Qiqi stared at the plate of braised fish he made, this one was even more unpalatable than fish-flavored eggplant, which was just too sweet.
But I don't know what is in this plate of fish, it is salty, bitter and spicy, and it is simply unpalatable.
And Long Lingyue's face on the side was not very good, if it weren't for the fact that she had received a lot of good upbringing since she was a child, she would probably be the same as Xia Qiqi now.
