"Ah Zhan, you are really here. I've been looking for you for a long time. Xia Wan'er, who was dressed in green clothes, was stopped outside the door by Zi Xuan, as if she had been bathed, her green clothes were elegant, her long hair was tied up, and she was full of energy.

"County Lord, Miss Xia, she ......" Seeing that the door had opened, Zixuan hurriedly walked to Chi Yan's side and whispered.

It turned out that Xia Wan'er was looking for the prince and found Chi Yan's courtyard, Zi Xuan wanted to go into the house to say goodbye, Xia Wan'er had to go in directly.

"Ah Zhan, I told Zixuan that she could let me come in directly, without passing on the word, and she still didn't believe it." Xia Wan'er looked between Murong Yuanzhan and Chi Yan with a pair of bright eyes, and saw that the two of them were neatly dressed and there was nothing abnormal, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"When did the rules of your East Palace become so cumbersome? Seeing that the individual has to wait outside for the transmission. ”

Xia Wan'er complained and had already walked into the house. She swept her gaze over Chi Yan, smiled and nodded, and then walked straight to Murong Yuanzhan's side.

Murong Yuanzhan looked at Xia Wan'er with a slightly restrained expression: "What's the matter with finding a lonely?" ”

"Shen Yi has prepared the ingredients for the hot pot, and I came to you to eat the hot pot." Xia Wan'er smiled and looked at Murong Yuanzhan expectantly, "The moonlight is just right tonight, we are eating hot pot and drinking wine in the courtyard, isn't it beautiful?" ”

As she spoke, her gaze fell on the porcelain vase on the table, "Oh? What kind of medicine is this? It looks pretty good. ”

"Miss Xia, this is the medicine that Brother Jinzhi gave me." Chi Yan replied softly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

Xia Wan'er picked up the porcelain vase and looked at it carefully: "Wound medicine? Are you hurt? ”

"No, it's just that the reins of my hand are worn out a little, and it's fine."

"If Miss Xia likes it, this medicine will be given to Miss Xia." Seeing that she had been holding the medicine bottle, Chi Yan said softly.

"No need, I'm just curious about the texture of this medicine, I didn't expect Ah Zhan to be so careful." Xia Wan'er put down the porcelain vase with a smile and turned her gaze to Chi Yan, "Sister Chi Yan, are you free tonight?" ”

"Well, I don't have anything to do tonight, I can eat hot pot with Miss Xia." Ji Yan smiled lightly.

"That's great, Ah Zhan, let's go." Xia Wan'er happily took Murong Yuanzhan's arm and walked out. Suddenly, he turned back to Chi Yan and invited, "Sister Chi Yan, hurry up." ”

Several people came to the courtyard of the East Palace, where a hot pot banquet had been arranged. Xia Wan'er skillfully commanded her subordinates to set up dishes and chopsticks, burn charcoal, and move neatly, and it can be seen that she is very skilled in this kind of activity.

It's steaming hot and fragrant.

"Shen Yi, Zixuan, you can also sit down and eat together." Xia Wan'er warmly invited, with a happy smile on her face.

"Yes." Shen Yi glanced at Murong Yuanzhan, and after confirming that it was correct, he sat down cautiously. Zi Xuan saw that Chi Yan nodded, and also sat next to Chi Yan to take care of her.

With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, looking at the ingredients tumbling in the pot, he seemed to be able to smell the aroma.

The five of them sat around the table, Xia Wan'er personally poured a glass of wine for each person, and finally handed Murong Yuanzhan a glass: "Ah Zhan, we must have a good drink tonight, I wish us to drink and talk freely tonight, and we will not get drunk and go home." ”

Murong Yuanzhan took the wine glass and drank it all, his eyes caught a glimpse of Chi Yan on the left who was about to drink, he suddenly moved in his heart, put down the wine glass and said, "Ah Yan, your hand injury has not healed, you can't drink alcohol tonight, drink some plum juice." ”

Chi Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at Murong Yuanzhan's concerned eyes, and nodded slightly: "Okay, Brother Jin." ”

Xia Wan'er looked at this scene, a complicated light flashed in her eyes, and she smiled lightly, "Ah Zhan, you are really getting better at taking care of people." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to Shen Yi and Zixuan and said, "Don't just watch, hurry up and drink and eat, let's all relax tonight." ”

"Ah Zhan, you try this, Lao Zhang in the kitchen said that it was fresh ingredients that were just sent from the imperial dining room this morning." Xia Wan'er picked up the chopsticks, enthusiastically picked up a piece of tender chicken, and put it in Murong Yuanzhan's bowl.

She knew that Murong Yuanzhan had a habit of cleanliness and didn't eat food that others had touched, so she deliberately used chopsticks to pick up vegetables for him.

Murong Yuanzhan smiled slightly, picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes: "Not bad, the taste is delicious." ”

"Ah Yan, you try it too." Then I also picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Ji Yan's bowl.

"It's delicious, Miss Xia's craftsmanship is really good." Chi Yan took a small bite and felt that this hot pot was a little spicy, but the taste was really good, and she couldn't help but admire.

"It's good if you like it, I eat spicy food, and I'm worried that you won't get used to it."

"Ah Yan? Can I call you that too? Don't always call Xia Girl, just call me by my name, right?

"Okay, Sister Wan'er."

Xia Wan'er smiled: "This is my sister Ayan, let's call it like this in the future." ”

She turned her head to look at Murong Yuanzhan, "Ah Zhan, among the ingredients I brought this time, there is another special thing, you must try it later." ”

Murong Yuanzhan asked curiously, "Oh? What is it? ”

Xia Wan'er pretended to smile mysteriously: "You'll know when the time comes." ”

What she brought with her was shrimp slippery, a delicacy she had tasted by chance at a stall a year ago. I specially brought it back from Jiangnan, ready to surprise everyone tonight. They must not have eaten it, and it's one of her favorite delicacies in modern times.

The hot pot is steaming, the ingredients are rich and varied, and the five people sit around and the atmosphere is harmonious. Xia Wan'er kept serving dishes to everyone, very enthusiastic, and laughing constantly.

She has a cheerful personality and has a lot of topics, from local customs to anecdotes about the rivers and lakes. People can't help but feel good. Shen Yi and Zixuan also gradually relaxed and began to actively participate in the conversation.

Murong Yuanzhan would occasionally join in and offer his own opinions, while Chi Yan listened quietly, sometimes smiling and sometimes nodding.

At this time, she secretly glanced at Murong Yuanzhan, and saw that he was listening to Xia Wan'er tell an interesting story with an indifferent expression, and she didn't notice her at all, and she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart. The little hand secretly moved to the side of the wine cup, biting his lip gently, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Then he quietly watched their reactions. Murong Yuanzhan was listening intently to Xia Wan'er at this time, while Shen Yi and Zi Xuan also listened with relish. Seeing that none of them noticed him, he took a sip of wine, and a refreshing sweetness suddenly spread on the tip of his tongue.

The taste is silky and you can't help but take one bite after another. After drinking a glass, a blush slowly appeared on his face. The little hand moved gently to the side of the wine jug, poured a full glass again, and saw that the action was successful, and his heart was proud, and he couldn't help but smile like a flower, but just touched the wine cup and was tightly grasped by a big hand.
