Startled, Liu Hua had the urge to scream, but Ye Zhi quickly covered his mouth and dragged him to the dark.

"It's not her, is it?" Ye Zhi asked. Appearance aside, in terms of age, it doesn't match at all.

Liu Hua shook his head in a daze, and his eyes were asking: Why are you so loud.

Ye Zhi explained: "She can't hear it. ”

Bai Yuelan also asked, "Second Senior Brother, how do you know?"

"The sound of the gate is obvious enough in this cold palace. ”

I saw the haggard old woman slowly approaching the door, and said to herself, "There is no wind, how can you blow the door open?"

Ye Zhi dragged Liu Hua, Bai Yuelan followed, and everyone avoided a little farther away.

Bai Yuelan asked Liu Hua puzzled: "Isn't it your fiancée?" As the affectionate male protagonist in the book, even if the heroine turns to ashes, he should recognize it, right?

"I haven't seen ...... for more than ten years," Liu Hua said embarrassedly. "The lights are also dark......

"Since we can't find anyone, let's go back early. Ye Zhi didn't want to argue about anything, it was better to go back to the institute as soon as possible.

"Let's go back, go back to supper. Bai Yuelan said a little frustratedly.

They had been gone for too long, and Xiang Nan, who was impatient with hunger, had protested several times.

Only those who know how to eat can gain weight, Ding Rong sighed in his heart, made the stove bigger, roasted a chicken leg and five skewers of barbecue for Xiangnan, and prepared a skewer of barbecue for himself.

The barbecue is golden and makes a sizzling oil sound, giving off a rich aroma.

Ding Rong happily picked up his barbecue, tasted it, and thought, I am still quite talented in barbecue!

There was a knock on the door in the small courtyard, and they came back? When Ding Rong went to open the door with a skewer, he found the emperor and a young man standing outside the door, and the remaining few were the little eunuchs who accompanied him. Ding Rong's heart tightened.

"Your Majesty the Emperor......" Ding Rong called, hesitating and not knowing whether to bow down with the barbecue.

"No need to worship. As if he had seen through Ding Rong's thoughts, the emperor raised his hand and looked extremely kind, but his eyes looked directly at the skewers on Ding Rong's hand and said, "Let's just say that it is the aroma wafting out here!"

Sun Dong beside him said: "It's really fragrant." ”

"What did you eat? We also have a share?" said the emperor.

Ding Rong reacted and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please!"

The emperor took Sun Dong and the little eunuchs into the small courtyard with a swagger, and saw that Xiang Nan was still grinding wood molds in the middle of the courtyard, and said, "Master Xiang, thank you for your hard work." ”

Xiang Nan didn't expect Ding Rong to lead the emperor into the door, so he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Bingpan is not ready so quickly......"

"I know. I'm not here for you, I'm here for incense!" said the emperor with a smile. "The things made by this girl look very delicious, and I can only come uninvited. ”

Xiang Nan invited the emperor to take a seat, looked at Ding Rong, and said proudly: "Yes, the barbecue she made is particularly delicious." ”

"The short knife fighting technique that I have studied with Sun Jiaotou and Wang Jiaotou for a long time just now is indeed empty, so this girl ......" The emperor said, looking at Ding Rong.

Ding Rong hurriedly reported to himself: "The little woman's name is Ding Rong." ”

"Okay, Miss Ding, please bring me and Sun Jiaotou a copy as soon as possible, that delicious one. If the ingredients are not enough, Xiao Jingzi can pick them up. "The emperor commanded.

"Yes. ”

"That's right......" A gleam flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he suddenly said, "I remember that Master Xiang has four apprentices, what about the others, why do you leave Master to work alone?"

"They ......" Xiangnan tensed up, hesitating how to reply.

At this time, Ye Zhilang replied in a loud voice: "We are sorting out small parts and tools in the house. Slowly walked out of the room with Bai Yuelan and Liu Hua. The three of them bowed their hands to the emperor together.

The emperor smiled and said, "I thought that the master usually worked, and the apprentice enjoyed the blessings." ”

---

Everyone sat around the stove with no image, eating barbecue and chatting.

Ding Rong looked at everyone's eating method like a wind sweeping away leaves, and sighed in his heart, fortunately, the ingredients were prepared enough and had been baked to half-cooked, and the little eunuchs did not dare to participate in the foodie army, so two or three more people could still deal with it.

Sun Dong ate very comfortably and asked, "You are from Dongke Kingdom, right?"

"yes. Xiang Nan replied.

"I accompanied the emperor to Weifu for a private visit, why haven't I seen such delicious things in Dongkeguo?" Sun Dong only licked his fingers and praised.

"My apprentice can't do carpentry, but barbecue is a complete must, so I accepted her. "Blind to the south.

Who did you accept? Ding Rong wanted to give him a blank look, but he couldn't make such an indecent gesture in front of the emperor. She pursed her mouth and said, "Barbecue is a delicacy that can be even more delicious if you use fresh shrimp and crabs from the sea." ”

The emperor lamented: "We must use fresh seafood to send to our imperial capital, it is estimated that it also stinks, and I have no appetite for seafood barbecue!"

Sun Dongdao: "In the future, if the emperor still goes to Dongke Kingdom and visits Miss Ding, he may be able to eat it, so there is no need to regret it." He also patted the emperor's shoulder with his oily hand, and the emperor nodded.

Eating the barbecue, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly asked Liu Hua on the other side: "This one is also from Dongke Kingdom?"

Everyone's hearts suddenly jumped to their throats. If they are found to have brought suspicious people into the palace, they will definitely be responsible.

Liu Hua nodded and said, "I am also from Dongke in Xia, named Liu Hua, who is actually not very good at carpentry, but is good at drawing, so I am fortunate to be selected by Master Xiang." ”

Speaking of this, the emperor asked: "In addition to the Bingpan, I don't know how to play that Baqiao Pavilion, and Master Xiang has to teach me." ”

Seeing that the topic was moved away from Liu Hua, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xiang Nan replied: "Okay, let's see when the emperor is free." ”

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there will be an early dynasty, and there are six major events to discuss, I don't know ......when it will be discussed," the emperor began to frown when he talked about work: "I don't know when I'll be free, let's talk about it when I'm free." Xiao Jingzi, pour me a cup of tea. ”

Xiao Jingzi took the order and entered the room to prepare.

Ye Zhi suddenly gave Ding Rong a look and said, "Xiao Ding, you go to make a mushroom soup, I believe that there are enough ingredients in the palace, which can allow you to give full play to the advantages of making soup." ”

Ding Rong looked confused, except for barbecue, her other food couldn't get into the eyes of her senior brothers, especially the mushroom soup, which was called dark cuisine by Ye Zhi, why did Ye Zhi say that?

Bai Yuelan looked at Ding Rong with a little embarrassment, and said, "I'll help her." ”

"The soup you make is not as good as hers!" Ye Zhi said, winking again.

Well, since Ye Zhi insisted that she be ugly, she would do it. Although Ding Rong didn't understand Ye Zhi's intentions, he could also cooperate, and I believe that Ye Zhi didn't make this request for no reason.

After only a while, the mushroom soup was served by Ding Rong.

As is customary, a little eunuch tasted a spoonful first. His expression was a little weird.
