Chapter Fifty-Eight: Behind the Scenes is the King
"How? Is it delicious? Bi Yuntao saw Meng Ruoxi drinking one sip after another, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Yes!" Meng Ruoxi nodded.
Meng Ruolang looked at the squirrel osmanthus fish and milk carp soup that was very delicious in front of her sister, swallowed the saliva that was quickly secreted because of coveting, and saw that the two had no time to take care of him, so she quietly scooped a spoonful into her bowl with his spoon.
"Smack!" Dream Ruolang, who was silent in stealing food, was suddenly hit on the wrist by a chopstick stretched out by a person.
"You're not allowed to drink!" Bi Yuntao glared at Meng Ruolang viciously, "This milk carp soup is specially prepared for Ruoxi. ”
"Big brother! You can't be so heavy on color and light on friends! I'm your sweet little brother! Meng Ruolang looked at Bi Yuntao aggrievedly.
"Humph! What's wrong with him who is heavy on sex and light on friends? Don't your sister and I have this capital? ”
"Forehead......" Meng Ruolang was choked by his sister and wanted to cry without tears, speechless, "But, sister, have you finished drinking these?" Meng Ruolang looked at her sister who was protecting her speechlessly, why didn't she see her sister protecting herself like this in Zuo Xiangfu?!
"Humph! If you can't finish it, I won't give it to you! Didn't you hear what King Qi said before? This soup has a skin-beautifying effect. What are you doing with such a good look as a big man?! Meng Ruoxi glared at him fiercely.
"But, sister, this is carp soup, you drink so much, is it really okay?"
"What do you mean?" Meng Ruoxi didn't react to the meaning of his words for a while.
"Ahem!" Bi Yuntao hurriedly coughed twice and wanted to interrupt Meng Ruolang, but he was still a step too late.
"Carp soup is generally drunk by women who are pregnant and have given birth, and can be used to promote lactation." Meng Ruolang blurted out without thinking about it, heard Bi Yuntao's cough, and saw Meng Ruoxi's red cheeks, staring at him unkindly, only then did he realize that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and his voice gradually became quieter.
Bi Yuntao also glared at Meng Ruolang fiercely, "I can't stop your mouth when I eat!" Hurry up and eat! Don't you understand the truth that you don't talk about food?! ”
Meng Ruolang lowered his head aggrievedly, looked at the pitiful plate of steamed carp in front of him, and then looked at the exquisite dishes made of various carps placed in front of them, especially the two dishes of squirrel fish and milk carp soup, why did his eye sockets have some soreness?!
"Ahem! Don't listen to Ruolang, carp soup is indeed good for women who have given birth, but carp soup is indeed like what I said, it has the effect of beautifying the skin and delaying aging, and there are many benefits of carp soup. Bi Yuntao looked at Meng Ruoxi's unkind face and hurriedly explained the medical efficacy of milk carp soup.
Meng Ruoxi was said by her younger brother, although a touch of red flew on her cheeks, but she did make herself a little unhappy, and her cheeks, which were still full of smiles, stiffened suddenly.
"Tell me, then, what's the benefit?"
"Ahem! That, Ruolang, you drink more! Bi Yuntao coughed twice, and did not answer Meng Ruoxi's question, but got up and scooped a full bowl of carp soup for Meng Ruolang.
"Huh? All right! Originally, he was bitter on the side, eating the tasteless steamed carp, and suddenly heard that he could drink soup, so he hurriedly took the porcelain bowl full of soup that Bi Yuntao brought to him.
Seeing Meng Ruolang drink it happily, he leaned slightly and bit his ear with Meng Ruoxi, "Men can drink it to enhance kidney function and ...... Hold! Continue! Time! Space! Of course, the duration is all nonsense for him, just to tease her and see her blush and heartbeat.
"Time? What time? Meng Ruoxi was a little confused, why did these two people enjoy dinner with her, and kept saying things that she didn't seem to understand.
Bi Yuntao smiled but did not speak, looking at Meng Ruoxi with ambiguous eyes.
Meng Ruoxi saw the ambiguity in his eyes, and immediately knew what the time he meant when he said it.
"You! You're a disciple! Meng Ruoxi blushed and pinched his waist, only to feel that his cheeks and earlobes were hot and hot. This disciple actually said such things to himself in front of his younger brother.
Bi Yuntao grinned and rubbed his waist, "Look, how fragrant Meng Ruolang drinks!" ”
Meng Ruolang just drank the soup into his mouth, and saw the two of them staring at him, his face was full of puzzlement, "What's wrong?" Is there anything on my face? Also, sister, why is your face so red? After speaking, he touched his cheek with his hand, glanced at his sister, and felt that her face was flushed at this time, and she was becoming more and more beautiful for some reason.
Glancing down at the carp soup in the bowl, did this soup work so quickly? My sister just drank it, and it looked better than before.
"Humph! Hurry up and drink your soup and eat your food! What does it have to do with you if I blush or not! Meng Ruoxi blushed and glared at Meng Ruolang, who was angry and didn't know why.
"Come, Ruoxi, you should drink more, or let your brother drink it to replenish his body." Bi Yuntao saw that the fish soup had bottomed out somewhat, so he hurriedly filled a bowl of soup for Meng Ruoxi.
At the same time, he also picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in Meng Ruolang's bowl, "Drink less soup!" ”
Meng Ruolang looked at the fish in the bowl stupidly, and then looked at the fish soup that Bi Yuntao scooped into his bowl, and felt very aggrieved, this soup is really delicious, I don't know why I feel hot in my waist after drinking it, and it is very comfortable.
Bi Yuntao ignored his expression and continued: "These fish are also delicious, the surface of the fish has been fried, crispy and crispy, and the taste is not much worse than other fish. ”
……
A few people disposed of the delicacies on the table, and the table was already a mess.
Meng Ruolang sat down on the chair, patted his round belly, and exclaimed: "These dishes are really delicious, especially the squirrel osmanthus fish and milk carp soup." ”
Seeing that he had no manners, Meng Ruoxi couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Look at what you look like now, what kind of system you have become!" ”
"What's wrong with me like this, this is in my own home, and there are no outsiders." Meng Ruolang fought back dissatisfied, and he didn't know what happened to his sister today, and she was against herself everywhere.
said unintentionally, the listener was intentional, Meng Ruoxi heard him say that this was his home, and the white and tender earlobes couldn't help but show a ripple.
Holding back the emotions in his heart, he secretly glanced at Bi Yuntao next to him, and saw him drinking tea expressionlessly, a little rippling mood, and was suddenly filled with loss, pouting and snorting coldly at Meng Rulang. "Of course these dishes are delicious, these fish are all hard to cultivate in the palace, and they were eaten by you like this, it's really a tyrannical thing."
"It's as if you didn't eat it, sister, and you obviously didn't eat less, especially the milk carp soup, almost all of which you drank alone." Meng Ruolang couldn't help but pout.
Meng Ruoxi couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he told the truth, glared at him, and hid his feelings.
Although Bi Yuntao's face was expressionless, when he heard Meng Ruolang say this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, and when he saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, he hurriedly broke it, "I'm full of food and drink, let's talk about business!" ”
When Meng Ruoxi's sister and brother heard Bi Yuntao say this, they sat up straight. Bi Yuntao also got up and picked up an invitation card from the desk, put it on the dining table, yawned and stretched, "Yesterday I came back from Ruoxi and you received an invitation to the banquet from the third prince. ”
"The banquet of the three princes?" Meng Ruoxi was taken aback, and turned her head to look at Bi Yuntao, "He must not be well-intentioned, don't go." ”
"Yes, big brother, it's better not for you to go." As he spoke, he picked up the invitation on the table and flipped through it. Immediately stunned, staring at the place written on the invitation sticker with wide eyes - Miaochun Pavilion. also specially marked the Yu Yao'er of Miaochun Pavilion as a companion.
Seeing his surprised expression, Meng Ruoxi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What exactly is written on it? But after waiting for a long time and not seeing him speak, he snatched the invitation and looked at it.
"Hey!" Meng Ruolang saw that the invitation was snatched by her sister, which was not good.
Sure enough, when Meng Ruoxi saw the content on the invitation, she immediately became angry and slapped the table heavily with the invitation. "Humph! You men don't have a good thing! ”
Meng Ruolang shrank his neck, the tiger's ass couldn't be touched, and he didn't dare to answer his sister's words now.
Bi Yuntao looked like he was nothing, yawning angrily on the side, "You are really worthy of being sisters and brothers, and your focus is surprisingly consistent!" Bi Yuntao yawned again, rubbed his nose helplessly, and sure enough, he was full of food and thought about it, and he wanted to sleep when he was full.
"Why did you only see the words Miaochun Pavilion and Yu Yao'er? Can't you analyze it in depth? ”
"Humph! What is there to analyze, isn't it just to invite you to spend time drinking! Meng Ruoxi pouted angrily, "You are not allowed to go!" If you dare to go, I'll ...... I'll just ......"
Bi Yuntao looked at Meng Ruoxi pouting angrily, and said playfully: "What are you doing?" Meng Ruolang also looked at her with a look of surprise, this was the first time she had seen such an expression appear on her sister's face.
"I'll tell the concubine and let her clean you up!" Meng Ruoxi sat on the side and was angry, seeing Bi Yuntao's playful eyes, her already angry red face was even more attractive.
Meng Ruolang heard his sister's non-threatening words, couldn't help but stroke his forehead, sighed and sat down on the chair with hatred, and finally knew why every time his sister was angry with his eldest brother, his eldest brother could coax his sister to smile, it turned out that his sister had this ability in front of his eldest brother! Obviously, there is a lot of way to clean up yourself.
"Hee-hee!" Bi Yuntao listened to her weak threat, knowing that she was reluctant to punish herself, and said with a hippie smile: "It won't help if you go and tell the concubine, anyway, the concubine has already agreed to let me go to the banquet." ”
Meng Ruoxi's face was a little embarrassed, and she pouted and muttered unhappily: "The concubine is really true, how can I agree with you to go to that kind of place!" ”
Bi Yuntao was very happy when he saw her playful movements, and he couldn't wait to hold her tightly in his arms and bite her ear, but when he thought that Meng Ruolang was still sitting on the side, he had to suppress some of his unbearable mood, and pinched her pretty nose affectionately, "Okay, listen to me first." ”
"Ruolang, do you remember the last time we were assassinated together?"
Meng Ruolang saw Bi Yuntao mention the assassination on the way back from Huafang last time, as if he had been empowered, and sat up straight in surprise, "Big brother! You don't mean to say that this matter was done by the third prince? ”
"It should be! I don't know if it's him, but I know that after you went after that assassin, it didn't take long for me to be followed by Yu Yao'er. And her light skills seem to be pretty good, but it took me a lot of effort to get rid of her. ”
"Wait! What do you say again? How can I be confused, are you hiding something from me?! Meng Ruoxi looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Why did the third prince send someone to assassinate you, and why did that Yu Yao'er follow you again?" ”
"Didn't you come from Jinling last time with an Oiran, I accidentally found the figure of the third prince there, so I asked Ruolang to follow and stare at it, who knew that the third prince actually went to have a tryst with Yu Yao'er. After Ruolang came back, we were not interested in going home, but I didn't expect to be assassinated halfway, Ruolang went to track the assassin, I went back to the house alone, halfway I noticed that someone was following, after several twists and turns, I found that the person who followed me was Yu Yao'er. ”
"You're going to see the Oiran from Jinling?!" Meng Ruoxi gritted her teeth angrily, "Okay, you! Not only dare to go to that kind of place, but also dare to say it confidently! The more Meng Ruoxi spoke, the more angry she became, and she pinched Bi Yuntao's waist angrily.
"Oops! Tap! We just went to check it out and didn't even go in! Bi Yuntao grinned and rubbed his waist, "Shouldn't your focus be on the Third Prince and Yu Yao'er?" How can it be on the body of the Oiran?! ”
"Humph!" Meng Ruoxi also realized that her focus was wrong, but she was embarrassed to apologize to him, so she turned her head arrogantly and snorted without looking at him.
"Big brother! You don't want to put yourself at risk, do you? Although Meng Ruolang didn't pay attention to the fight between their lovers, he kept his head down and pondered.
"That's right! I plan to go to the banquet, if I don't enter the tiger's den, it doesn't matter if I am framed, the key is that the revenge of framing Ruoxi must be avenged. There was a coldness in his tone.
When Meng Ruoxi heard his words, her heart warmed for no reason, and she secretly stretched out her hand under the table and put it in his hand.
Bi Yuntao felt the softness in his hand, and was slightly stunned, then reacted, directly changed into a guest, opened his fingers, held her soft tightly, and interlocked her fingers.
"I got the explosives this afternoon, just for this matter, you guys have come over every afternoon to help me get it these days, I'm too slow to get it alone, just Ruolang is taking advantage of these days to find a way to help me get more saltpeter, it doesn't matter how much."
"Big brother! You're not trying to blow them all into powder, are you?! Meng Ruolang couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the movement of the eldest brother blowing up the fish with a bomb this afternoon, and when he thought of the appearance of a bunch of bombs exploding at the same time.
"That's right, since he has been behind me again and again, if I don't take the initiative, I really don't take him seriously, and it's time to let others know what the fate of offending me is. Not to mention ......"
"What's more?" Meng Ruoxi and the others suddenly stopped when they saw him, and they all looked at him.
"What's more, I prefer to ...... in the back," Bi Yuntao said playfully.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Meng Ruolang reacted to the meaning of Bi Yuntao's words, and couldn't help but follow Bi Yuntao's music.
Meng Ruoxi's face, which was already a little puzzled, was even more confused by Meng Ruolang's laughter, and she didn't understand what they were laughing at? But after waiting for a long time and not seeing them explain, he kept laughing there, and a trace of unhappiness gradually rose on his face.
Bi Yuntao, who was still smiling, saw Meng Ruoxi's somewhat unhappy face, quickly stopped laughing, and said to Meng Ruolang, who was still smiling: "Ruolang, on the day of the banquet, you will protect me in secret, I am afraid that they will do it halfway." ”
"Okay! It's all on me! Meng Ruolang also stopped laughing, but there was still an inexplicable smile on his face.
Meng Ruoxi was angry when she saw his face, "You give me a little serious, give me good protection, if he is hurt a little, see how I clean you up!" ”
The people came in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them realized that it was not early, "Okay!" It's not early, Ruolang, let's go home! We'll talk about the rest tomorrow. ”
Bi Yuntao saw Meng Ruoxi get up and prepare to leave, and reluctantly took her hand, "Can't you go back if you don't go back?" Although he said that, he also knew that he couldn't keep her in the mansion for the night, otherwise if the matter spread, it would be bad for her reputation.
"No! Eldest brother! You haven't gotten married yet, and it's not good for my sister's reputation to spread it! Meng Ruolang saw the eldest brother's twisted posture, and couldn't help but stop it.
Bi Yuntao couldn't help glaring at him, this 100,000-volt Pikachu had no eyesight at all, and he had been dangling in front of the two of them from beginning to end, I don't know if it was bright enough!
"Well, you've been yawning since just now, and besides, it's really not early, we have to go back, and we'll come back tomorrow." Meng Ruoxi comforted softly.
Seeing his reluctant appearance, he was also reluctant in his heart, but just like Meng Ruolang said, if the news of his stay here spread, not only his reputation would be damaged, but his father would also lose face, and even become a laughing stock. The last time the divorce was quickly known, although the emperor intended to block, but how can there be an impermeable wall in this world, or was learned by people with a heart to spread to the court, but fortunately, the people don't know this, otherwise, I really don't know what to do.
"Okay!" Although he knew that it was impossible for her to stay, he was still a little lost in his heart, "You must be careful on the way back, Ruolang, you have to protect Ruoxi." ”
"Don't worry! She's my sister, I'll protect her well," Meng Ruolang winked at Bi Yuntao with a reassuring expression. "Tomorrow, I will definitely bring my sister back to my eldest brother safe and sound."
Bi Yuntao stared at herself with a smile, and was teased by her younger brother like this, she was already thin-skinned, her cheeks flushed directly, and she pulled Meng Ruolang's ears in annoyance, "Hurry up and go back home with me!" You're really itching, look how I punish you when I go back! ”
Bi Yuntao saw their sister and brother playing out of the mansion, smiled, and then sighed again, I don't know how long the holy decree of marriage can be read, the delicate little rabbit has been jumping in front of his eyes, and the days when he can see whether he can eat or not will be a head for a while!
