Bai Xiaoyi, who had been watching the old man's actions, didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he even shouted arrogantly:

"Come on, the master wants to eat too!"

After a while, another bowl of fragrant rice also appeared in the young man's hand, and he rolled up his sleeves and made himself a bowl of bibimbap, which was like a hodgepodge, and just stood there and ate it without rules.

Under the incredulous gaze of a table of people, the old man and the young man ate a whole bowl of rice in a moment. The two of them put the empty rice bowl on the table in unison, wiped the oil stains from their mouths with their sleeves without any elegance, and then laughed heartily.

Zhu Yuanzhang changed his majestic posture, but replaced it with a rough and heroic look. He sat back in his seat, patted his thigh and said:

"His grandmother's! I haven't eaten so refreshed in a long time!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was so shocked that their jaws almost didn't drop, but Xi Yingzhen, who had been there all the time, showed an approving smile on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the monster-like puzzled eyes of the people around him, and said to himself:

"His grandmother, Lao Tzu has been the emperor for so long, and he has forgotten that I am also from a poor family. If it weren't for Xiao Yi's reminder, I would have forgotten that I would have forgotten how many people Lao Tzu had fought with for such an ordinary bowl of bibimbap. Happy, I had a great meal today!"

Looking at the appearance of his father beside him, who had never been shown in front of his children, Zhu Wei suddenly understood why he scolded himself so harshly. When she was young, she heard her mother, Queen Ma, tell her that when she fought the world with her father, she lived a hard life with a meal but no meal. And the people in the market that she dislikes, how could she, the father of the king of a country, not work hard step by step from the ordinary people.

Bowing her head in some shame, Princess Diamond Fai finally realized how wrong she had been.

On the other side, Bai Xiaoyi, who had eaten a bowl of dry bowls, picked up the wine glass in his hand and saluted the long-faced old man:

"Your Majesty...... Old man, I thought that with your identity, it would be so difficult to get close to. Unexpectedly, it turns out that you are also a fellow believer. Come, I'll be you with this cup. I won't talk about those words about longevity and longevity. I Bai Xiaoyi was born in the market, then I will use this glass of wine to wish the Ming Dynasty smooth wind and rain, the country and the people, and wish the people of the world abundant food and clothing, and eternal peace!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face showed a look of pride, just like when he galloped across the battlefield with thousands of troops and horses. The old man stood up, picked up the wine glass beside him, and laughed:

"Good boy, that's what I'm talking about...... No, I said that my old Zhu Xinkan went to it. Come on, for the sake of the country and the people, do it!"

The old and the young, who had been separated by almost thirty years, drank so without any scruples, and the people around them were dumbfounded.

Looking approvingly, his precious apprentice and the world's tribute lord drank wine without regard to their status, and said with some amazement:

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you like this for more than 20 years. ”

Putting down the wine glass heavily, Zhu Yuanzhang muttered in a somewhat hoarse voice:

"Yes, back then, those old brothers are still there......"

Sitting back in his seat a little dejected, the founding emperor muttered with some annoyance:

"It's all the emperor's chair to sit on, sitting here and there, and almost forgetting what he really is. ”

Looking at this somewhat lost old friend beside him, the Qingyi Taoist said earnestly:

"But no matter what you look like, the things that are engraved in your bones will not change. ”

A strange look flashed in his eyes, and a relieved smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the banquet was a little weird, Bai Xiaoyi suddenly interjected:

"The emperor, the old man, the boy has heard a folk anecdote, saying that when you were down, you used to temporarily hide in a ruined temple. At that time, there was a person named Hanako who made you a pot of pearl jade and white jade soup, which was regarded as a delicacy in the world. Later, you became the emperor, and you deliberately searched the world, just to let that Hanako do it for you again. This matter has been circulating among the people for a long time, but I have always wanted to know if it is true or not, why don't you tell us about it?"

Brushing his beard under his chin a little unnaturally, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a little embarrassment:

"Well, it's really true. It's just that the folk rumors about a beggar called Hanako, it's all false. At that time, my family was poor, and I was caught up with years of famine, and once I was hungry for three days and three nights, and passed out in front of an old woman's house. At that time, the mother-in-law used the only tofu and spinach in the family and some rice grains to cook the pot of vegetable porridge. I was a little hungry and fainted, and after eating that bowl of porridge, I felt that it was the most delicious thing I had ever eaten. And the mother-in-law jokingly told me what that dish was called 'pearl jade white jade soup'. ”

Speaking of this, a look of nostalgia appeared on the old man's face, and he continued with some tears and laughter:

"Later, I became the emperor and ate all kinds of delicacies, but I never found the feeling of eating that vegetable porridge back then. Later, I asked the imperial chef in the palace to do it, and it turned out that the damn slave actually took the hard pearls and jadeites to stew in the soup. Later, Queen Ma was careful and thought that the so-called pearls, jade, and white jade were actually ordinary tofu, spinach, and rice grains. And I, the emperor with a picky mouth, have finally regained the taste of my childhood......"

As he spoke, a tear gradually appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. Knowing that her father was starting to miss her deceased mother again, Zhu Wei obediently grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's arm and said softly:

"Father can teach Wei'er how to do it in the future, and when you want to eat it one day, Erchen will make it for you. ”

doting on his daughter's little nose, Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be afraid and said:

"Just you, my little ancestor, you don't even know the most basic needlework, and you still want to cook for your father? ”

Looking at the delicate look on his daughter's face, the long-faced old man regained his smile again.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was in a better mood, Bai Xiaoyi asked with a stitch:

"The emperor, old man, the boy also heard that you later used this pearl jade and white jade soup to feast the ministers, is this true?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in a good mood, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said nonchalantly:

"Yes, I did use that soup to feast on the ministers. Although that thing is not a delicacy, it is always good to change the taste of these ministers who are tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long. ”

Speaking of this, the old emperor suddenly pretended to be mysterious and said:

"But I'll tell you a secret, I asked the chef to put some croton in the soup that day. As a result, after the ministers finished eating, they had three days of diarrhea!"

Looking at the old man in front of him, who had no imperial shelf, everyone at the banquet smiled kindly.

After the joke, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Bai Xiaoyi meaningfully for a long time. Then he said aloud:

"Boy, are you interested in becoming an official?"

The rogue young man who was eating with his stomach held up was stunned when he heard this, and asked in a panic:

"What do you say? I'm an official in the court?"

Zhu Yuanzhang put on a serious expression and said:

"Although you come from a well-to-earth background, after getting along, I think you're still very good-tempered. I happen to have a grandson who is about the same age as you, and if you're interested, how about staying with him as a companion?"

Bai Xiaoyi, who had never thought that the emperor would personally do it for his officials, was stunned for a while, and he looked at his master helplessly. The old Taoist priest, who knew his apprentice's thoughts, immediately spoke:

"Your Majesty, this apprentice of mine is stubborn by nature, if he is allowed to be the companion of the emperor's eldest grandson, I am afraid it will be a little inappropriate. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand lightly and said:

"Huh...... Xi Zhenren's words are wrong. What's wrong with being stubborn by nature, young people, it's all like this. Xiao Yi seems to be a stubborn child, but his nature is not bad, and he dares to tell the truth. When I was fighting the country, I was assisted by you, a master of Taoism. Now I also want my grandson to have a master who is proficient in yin and yang techniques to help, wouldn't it be very good. Qin Sacrifice Wine, what do you think?"

Qin He, who was suddenly named by name, was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile:

"Your Majesty is wise, according to Wei Chen's observation, Xiao Yi is a child with great talent and luck. If I can become an official in the court, it will be my luck and the blessing of the people. ”

got the answer he wanted from the mouth of this Qintian supervisor, and Zhu Yuanzhang said with great interest:

"You see, even Qin Sacrificial Wine said so. Xiao Yi, I have a very close relationship with you, but don't let down my expectations of you?"

Bai Xiaoyi forced out a smile and said with some apprehension:

"Old man emperor, do you want to hear the truth or lie?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously:

"True, of course. ”

With a long breath, Bai Xiaoyi raised his head and said firmly:

"Back to the emperor, Bai Xiaoyi has been idle since he was a child, and I actually have no interest in that high temple. I don't have any big pursuits in my life, I just want to find an opportunity to wander the rivers and lakes and go around the world. So, your kindness, I'm afraid the kid can't accept it. ”

stared deeply at the young man in front of him for a long time, and a haze gradually appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.
