Chapter 040: The minister is selfish

A mellow male voice interrupted her to continue to enjoy the food in front of her, she looked up in confusion, swallowed the beef in her mouth, and outside the pavilion, Ling Xin looked at the dishes in front of everyone with some interest.

"Master Hou is here, why don't you sit down and try it together?"

Anyway, it was polite, with his hatred of himself, he would definitely not stay, but unfortunately she guessed wrong this time, Ling Xin actually agreed.

"Okay. ”

Immediately, someone from the palace brought him a stool, and he happened to be waiting for the table in the east pavilion.

Dongting Hou had no choice but to say hello because of his face: "Master Hou taste, it tastes like this." ”

Ling Xin was not polite, the chopsticks went straight to the piece of roasted beef in the plate, and then learned to roll in the spice dish in front of him and then put it in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, so the chopsticks were clamped quickly.

Han Rui was already full, and then looked at the young ladies around her, everyone was almost the same, and after drinking a small bowl of porridge, she ordered the palace people to dig out the lotus leaf chicken.

The lotus leaf chicken that came out of the fire already gave off a rich aroma, and she instantly felt that she could still eat this half of the chicken.

The palace people knocked open the black mud shell burned outside, revealing the lotus leaves that had turned yellow inside, the lotus leaves were full of oil, and the begonias stepped forward to cut a few pieces and brought them over.

Han Rui dipped in the saucer as usual, the chicken was tender and the fragrance of the lotus leaves was delicious, and she almost ate the rest.

Everyone looked at her expression with great satisfaction, and they all looked at the chicken, but there was only one, and they had to be divided according to the grade.

Everyone was full of praise after tasting it, especially Ling Xin's 10,000-year-old frozen face also showed a rare other expression.

Han Rui pointed to the surface of the lake and looked at Dong Tinghou: "Please ask my cousin to help pick two more lotus leaves, I want to bake another one and send it to the queen mother and the emperor to taste." ”

Dong Tinghou immediately got up and went to the center of the lake, and when he came back, he had a few huge lotus leaves in his hand, and there were crystal water droplets rolling in the leaves.

Everyone was full of wine and food, and the palace people began to roast the chicken, Han Rui looked at the lake, and her face after drinking some wine had begun to blush slightly, and the fourth princess moved to her side, but she didn't speak, and lowered her head full of shyness.

With Dongting Hou, the second son of Ning is not inferior, and the fourth princess is very satisfied.

Han Rui was completely relieved, pinched her little hand and winked at her, causing her to blush again.

By the time the remaining chicken was roasted, it was not too early, Ling Xin and Dong Tinghou didn't know where to get a game of chess, the two were fighting in full swing, and several young ladies also surrounded them.

Looking at the past from Han Rui's point of view, Ling Xin's handsomeness is unparalleled, no wonder he has attracted the attention of so many people, and no wonder the original owner will take a fancy to him, although it is inevitable that the third princess Yan Ning will add fuel to the fire, but he is simply 360 degrees beautiful without dead ends.

It's really easy to attract peach blossoms with this look.

She retracted her gaze, "This palace will go first, you will sit a little longer." ”

She left with the fourth princess and Jiang Ting, and Ling Xin's gaze behind her moved away from the chessboard and landed on his back, with a flash of doubt in her eyes, but she quickly returned to the chessboard.

The Queen Mother was reviewing the folds, the young emperor was watching her review of the folds on the side, the mother and son were busy under the lamp, Han Rui didn't let people through, and she went in with the lotus leaf chicken that had not yet cracked the mud shell.

"Queen Mother, Imperial Brother, see what I have brought?"

The Queen Mother finished approving the music in her hand before she looked up at the black thing in her hand, and the Young Emperor was very curious and gathered around to take a look.

"Sister Huang, it's so fragrant, it's chicken. ”

Han Rui scratched his straight nose: "It's your nose that is the most smart, today I was barbecing meat by the royal lake, and when I ate this lotus leaf chicken, I thought it was very delicious, it was about to look at it, so it was a special novelty, and I specially sent it to the queen mother and the imperial brother to taste." ”

The young emperor stretched out his hand and flicked the black thing, "Then the imperial sister hurry up and open it, I can't wait." ”

Gonggong Li instructed the palace people to get the dishes and chopsticks, and knocked open the mud shell, and the lotus leaf chicken inside was just not cold or hot, and exuded a rich fragrance of chicken and lotus leaves.

She cut off her two legs and put them on the plate in front of the young emperor, cut off her wings and put them on the plate in front of the queen mother, and then watched the two of them move with anticipation, as if waiting for praise.

The Queen Mother ate a chicken wing, took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "It's really good, it's delicious, let someone make another one tomorrow, according to this method, it's very novel and interesting." ”

Han Rui knew that the Empress Dowager paid great attention to diet, and rarely ate at night, so she no longer persuaded her, knowing that watching the young emperor eat, the child chewed slowly and slowly, watching him eat was simply a pleasure, and in less than a quarter of an hour, half a chicken went down to the stomach.

"The emperor ate two bowls of dinner, and he can't eat any more today. ”

Gonggong Li persuaded on the side.

If it weren't for the fact that this lotus leaf chicken was sent by the eldest princess, he would have stopped it when he took the third bite, but seeing that the emperor ate deliciously, the eldest princess and the queen mother did not speak, so he waited until now.

Han Rui hurriedly took the half chicken in front of him away, "I'll make it for the imperial brother tomorrow, Gonggong Li is right, it's not good to accumulate food at night." ”

"Well, that's okay, I'll eat it tomorrow. ”

Han Rui immediately thought of the other effects of lotus leaves in her mind, she seemed to have gained a lot of weight since she wore this book, mainly because the food in the daily day was too good, and there was nothing to worry about, although Concubine Shu and King Qi had rebelled one after another before, so she was very worried for a while, but then she had been a comfortable eldest princess, and everyone stammered, secretly touching her waist and a handful of fat.

"Tomorrow there will be not only lotus leaf chicken, but there will be other things tomorrow, and I will have someone make it and send it over when the time comes." ”

The young emperor clapped his hands and applauded: "Then tomorrow I will wait for the imperial sister's dinner." ”

"It's a deal. ”

With the experience of getting lost last time, this time the Queen Mother was afraid that she would get lost again, so she asked the two palace people to send her to Churui Palace before turning back.

Jiang Ting was waiting in the courtyard of the Churui Palace, and when she came back, she greeted her excitedly, Rouge stood respectfully on the side, Rouge was not waiting by her side for the past few days, Han Rui was still very unaccustomed to it, and at this moment, she saw her standing with the little palace maid in the outer courtyard, dressed plainly, and suddenly couldn't bear it.

"Rouge, you keep vigil tonight, you are not around, and the palace can't sleep well at night. ”

"Yes. ”

Maybe it's because I ate well tonight, maybe it's because Rouge is guarding outside tonight, I sleep until dawn, refreshed, and I took Jiang Ting and the four princesses to the edge of the lake to pick lotus leaves after breakfast in the morning, but in one night, the lotus leaves have grown a lot.

A few palace people with good water nature were ready to go into the water to pick them, and Dongting Hou appeared like a ghost, and they picked a few tender green lotus leaves quickly.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess wants to pick lotus leaves, just send ministers. ”

He offered the tender green lotus leaves.

Han Rui didn't answer, "Master Hou is busy every day, how can this palace be troublesome every time? Besides, there is no shortage of palace people with good water nature in this palace." ”

If it was a coincidence that she met him here for the first time, it could also be said that it was a coincidence the second time, but the third time, she was a little skeptical that the other party was following her?

Of course, maybe he's just paying too much attention to himself.

Dong Tinghou handed the lotus leaf to the begonia beside her, and smiled like a fox, "The minister is also selfish." ”

He looked up at Han Rui's beautiful face, and the affection in his eyes was about to come out, so frightened that Han Rui was about to stop him from talking.

"Don't be nervous, eldest princess, I just want to taste the delicacies made of this lotus leaf again, I wonder if the minister has this mouthful?"
