Group favorite Xiaojiao Bao: The whole family is a big villain

Northern Yan Kingdom, Royal Palace.

Imperial Room.

Today is a rare occasion of excitement. No, it should be said that the imperial dining room used to be very lively when the time comes, but it is especially lively today.

"Hurry, hurry! Especially the milk cake, fresh goat's milk, etc., must be ready."

"Especially spicy, especially this beef stew and spicy chicken."

"..."

Zhao Bao looked at the small table and directed everyone, and nodded with satisfaction, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

In the past ten years, the old general manager of the imperial kitchen has naturally retired, and Zhao Bao, as the deputy general manager, has naturally taken over.

Generally speaking, the general manager does not need to take care of such delicate work, he only needs to control the overall situation.

However, over the years, Zhao Bao has kept the tastes of each palace master in mind. Forget about milk cakes, etc., this spicy chicken... If he remembers correctly, there seems to be no master in the palace who particularly likes spicy food, right? What's up with this spicy dish? Almost all dishes are spicy.

"Small table."

Zhao Bao came to ask him.

When the little table heard this, he also looked confused and scratched the back of his head: "Brother Zhao, we don't know. Today, the little eunuch next to His Majesty came here in a hurry. The menu given to him, if it weren't for the peppers that were paid tribute in previous years, were still carefully preserved, miscellaneous I’m afraid it’s not enough.”

"You mean, His Majesty's father-in-law?"

Zhao Bao narrowed his eyes and immediately noticed something was wrong.

"Yes! Maybe he is a friend of His Majesty?" Little Desk guessed.

friend?

Are you stupid?

Does your Majesty have such good friends?

Of course, Zhao Bao did not dare to say this, for fear of leaving the truth behind.

He has been in the imperial kitchen for many years and is particularly sensitive to the direction of the wind. Otherwise, he would not have been able to survive among the many people a few years ago, and even be able to sit in the position of the general manager of the imperial kitchen now.

If he remembered correctly, over the years, in his memory, the only master who liked spicy food and milk cake was the Ninth Princess.

Zhao Bao seemed to have thought of something, and regardless of the small table beside him, he started counting with his fingers.

"Brother Zhao..."

"Ten years! Exactly ten years! No wonder! I'll tell you!" Zhao Bao's eyes lit up.

If he guessed correctly, there is no one else who can make His Majesty so fond of him this time except the Ninth Princess.

"I'm going to deliver food to His Majesty today. You're here to watch. The food must be delicious, especially the spicy chicken with some sugar in it."

Zhao Bao ignored the small table, turned around and walked out. He wanted to go back to the prison pen.

The Ninth Princess left suddenly, and by the time Zhao Bao heard the news, it was already a few days later. He had no chance to give the princess the gift Jing Yi asked him to hand over.

Hearing Jing Yi say such words that day, Zhao Bao only thought that Jing Yi was saying dejected words, but he never thought that that was the last time the two of them spoke. The fire took Jing Yi away and plunged the entire palace into a lifeless atmosphere.

This gift that could not be given out has become a knot in Zhao Bao's heart.

"Alas! Zhao..."

The little table didn't know why. Looking at Zhao Bao's back as he left in a hurry, he scratched his head. What happened to Brother Zhao today?

Qinzheng Hall.

Su Jiu and his party almost hurried back to the palace. Su Lixun originally wanted to come back by carriage, but he couldn't resist Su Jiu.

No, Su Lixun had just come back. He didn't even have time to take Su Jiu back to Weiyang Palace, but the minister stopped him, and only now was he free.

Su Lixun watched the ministers leave and pinched his brows tiredly. From the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the mountains of memorials placed on several cases. He felt extremely tired. What should he do? I want to show off more and more.

"His Majesty."

The secret guard appeared from the corner.

"explain."

"The Ninth Princess did not return to Weiyang Palace. She took your token and left the palace."

Su Lixun held his eyebrows with one hand and turned his head to look at him: "Leaving the palace?"

"Yes, looking at the direction, it should be the direction of Shanfeng Village."

Over the years, Su Lixun has sent people to clean Weiyang Palace every day, but all the palace maids have been replaced. He has replaced almost all the people who were in the palace back then. In his opinion, he cannot risk his life for his master at the critical moment. All the slaves of life are useless.

If Jiu'er hadn't been in the fire scene for so long, she wouldn't have been unconscious later.

Only a few slaves who had been serving Jiu'er back then were left. Three of them were taken away by Concubine Zhen. Concubine Zhen went to Shanfeng Village with the Supreme Emperor, and they have been living there for so many years.

Xu Shijiu'er returned to the dormitory on her own, asked the servants and learned about the matter, and hurried over after missing her mother.

Thinking of this, Su Lixun waved his hand, "I know, let's go down."

"Yes." The secret guard responded and gradually disappeared into the dark corner.

**

Shanfeng Village.

In the past ten years, the people in the village have changed their minds, and they no longer look like the original village. It is said to be a village, but in fact it is more like a village.

The main hall of Shanfeng Village has become a school for children to study. Every day when the time comes, the sound of Lang Lang's reading can be heard from inside.

Further down, the thatched houses in the village are built in an orderly manner, and the distance is not as close as in ordinary villages, leaving enough space for people.

The third child finally met the person he liked and married the most beautiful girl in the village. The child is now seven years old.

No, it was almost time for classes to end in the school. The third child had been waiting at the door early. As the teacher announced the end of get out of class, the children immediately packed up their books happily.

Yunhe held the textbook like a treasure and said goodbye to her husband honestly before walking out of the school slowly.

Compared with other children of the same age, Yunhe seemed to be malnourished and was still very small, which made her very distressed. In class today, she heard several boys laughing at her behind her back. Yunhe drooped. As for the head, she obviously eats a lot every day, and because her father is very capable and her eldest and second uncle are officials, she can eat meat almost every day, but she just can't grow taller.

He was in a bad mood, even his steps were slow, and he was almost the last child to leave the school.

The third child stood at the door of the school, looking around for a long time without waiting for his daughter. He was very anxious. When almost everyone was gone, he saw his daughter coming out of it. She was a small one and looked a little pitiful. Pretty.

"Yunhe, what's going on? Someone is bullying you?"

The third child is a precious daughter. When he saw his daughter like this, he quickly stepped forward and took the book from his daughter's hand very naturally. He weighed the weight in his hand and couldn't help but complain in his heart. Yun He had to read at such a young age. There are so many books, and carrying so many books up and down the mountain every day makes the children tired and thin.

"No, Dad."

Yun He pouted, "I just don't understand why I can't grow taller even though I eat so much meat all day long?!"

Goudan next door can only eat one meal of meat every seven days. He is younger than her, but he is a head taller than her.

The third child scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. Your father never bothered about this matter when he was a child. He grew taller just by rubbing it."

Yun He: ...My heart hurts even more.

"Hey, Yunhe, don't worry. Why don't you wait until after dinner, and dad will take you to Empress Zhen's place to have a look? If not, the Grand Imperial Master should be here too, and I'll show you all."

"Really?"

Yunhe's eyes lit up.

There are three wooden houses that are different from the village in the southeast of the village. In them live Empress Zhen and her husband, as well as a person named Grand Imperial Master and his wife. According to my father, she was named after Empress Zhen. Dad is uneducated and can't think of such a nice and elegant name, although Yunhe doesn't quite understand what elegance means.

But Yun He feels that her name is much nicer than those of Goudan, Erniu and the like, and she is also more educated. However, it takes more time to write her name every time she takes an exam. Other than that, everything else is fine. is an advantage.

Thinking that she would see Empress Zhen later, Yunhe felt a lot better. She walked briskly. Originally it was the third child who was holding her hand and walking towards home, but now she was holding her hand with her short legs. The third child dragged me towards home.

The third child thought that his daughter was starving, so he fished it out with his big hand, let her sit on his shoulder, and walked down the mountain as fast as flying.

Because she had something on her mind, Yunhe ate very quickly and wolfed it down. As soon as she finished eating, she licked her lips and pulled the third child towards the southeast wooden house.

The house was built very elegantly, halfway up the mountain, and the small door to the courtyard was closed at this time.

Yun He stood at the door, a little strange. In the past, the door to the small courtyard was usually open and rarely closed. Isn't Empress Zhen at home today?

Yunhe likes Empress Zhen, who is pretty and speaks very softly, as well as Sister Su and Brother Hang. But Father Su always has a straight face and looks very serious, which is more scary than his own father. Anyway, Yunhe is not She liked it so much that every time she got close to Empress Zhen, Father Su would always look at her with kind eyes.

Therefore, although Yunhe liked Empress Zhen, she did not dare to come often. She was afraid that Father Su would beat the child, and she felt that Father Su was capable of such a thing.

The uncle said that Madam Zhen’s family were all great big shots, and they would disturb others when nothing happened. However, Yun He once saw big shots on the street, with eyes on the top of her head, and she spoke fiercely, even more fiercely than Father Su. Fierce, so I didn’t take my uncle’s words at all.

"Yunhe, be good, how about we come back another day."

Although the third child is stupid, he is not that stupid. The door that is not often closed suddenly closed, maybe something happened that he didn't know about.

Yun He was a little disappointed, she really wanted to grow taller!

At this time, the sound of a horse's snorting suddenly came from the courtyard, attracting Yun He's attention.

"Dad, did you hear that? There is a horse in the yard of Empress Zhen!" Yunhe's eyes lit up, she opened the door and looked inside through the crack of the door. Sure enough, she saw the horse tied to the tree trunk in the courtyard. .

Yun He didn't understand horses, but she could tell whether they were beautiful or not. The horse in front of her looked very beautiful because of its smooth fur.

The third child has been mixed up with a little boss for so many years. When Yun He said this, he became more and more sure of his suspicion. There must be a visitor in Madam Zhen’s house, and this visitor seems to have a good background. He thought that one-handed handle was still stealing. Yun He looked at it and hugged her, "Come on, Yun He, be good. Daddy will take you to your uncle's place to see the horses."

Yun He was a child after all, so she was immediately diverted by her father's words and danced, "Ah! Look at the horses! I want to look at the horses!"

inside the house.

Su Jiu was holding a one-year-old baby in her arms. She was a little at a loss and looked at her mother for help.

"mother."

The little baby had just turned one year old. It was waving its little hands in the air and making babbling sounds. It stared at Su Jiu with its big grape eyes and giggled. It looked very cute.

"Bao'er likes Jiu'er. I've never seen Bao'er smile like this at anyone." Zhenrao sat next to Su Jiu and just looked at her. She didn't make any move to help, but her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears. He raised his hand and stroked Su Jiu's back.

Su Jiu lowered her head, and Xiao Baoer smiled at her again.

"..."

Su Yijun walked up behind the two of them, held them both in his arms with his big hands.

There was no ordinary excitement when relatives met, but a faint warmth circulated among the few people.

Su Jiu rode all the way here, but got timid when going up the mountain.

She is the kind of person who is close to her hometown.

But when she saw Zhen Rao sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard and Su Yijun squeezing her shoulders, this timidity suddenly disappeared.

Perhaps in their hearts, the separation back then was just for a better reunion today. When she saw Su Jiu, Zhen Rao's eyes were red, but she resisted crying. On the contrary, Su Yijun couldn't control it well. Emo, strode over, stretched out his arms and hugged Su Jiu.

He is clearly a big boss, but he has become the one who cries the most.

Su Jiu couldn't help but curl up her lips when she thought of Su Yijun's appearance just now. She just felt so happy now, so happy that she wanted to cry.

Su Jiu rested her head on her father's arms, as if she was still the same child she was ten years ago, a child who could act coquettishly and willfully in his arms.

Su Yijun rested his chin on Su Jiu's head, and held Zhen Rao's hand tightly with his other hand. Zhen Rao held it backhand with considerable strength, which showed that her heart was far from as calm as she appeared.

They were afraid that being too enthusiastic would make Su Jiu uncomfortable.

"Mother, the palace maid said that Sister Huang Ying has also come with you. Where are they now?"

The little guy in his arms had made enough noise and was about to go to sleep with his fingers in his mouth. Su Jiu calmed down and turned to look around. Only then did he realize that there seemed to be only two people in the courtyard, and no one else was anywhere.

"I left Cai Lian and the others in the lotus garden to take care of them. Huang Ying and Qing He went shopping with Jing Yi. Zong Zhi may have been distracted by something, but counting the hours, they should be back soon."

Zhen Rao stared at Su Jiu, not daring to look away at all, for fear that Jiu'er would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Bao'er fell asleep completely, and it seemed that she really liked Su Jiu. She was afraid that the adults would give her to someone else to hold her while she was asleep, so she stopped sucking her fingers and stretched out her right hand to hold Su Jiu's hand tightly. With one finger, he pulled tightly.

"The palace is quite far from Shanfeng Village. Does Brother Hang go back and forth every day?"

It took Su Jiu nearly half an hour to ride the fifth brother's bloody horse. If it was a morning meeting, how early would he have to get up? It hurts to think about it.

"Zongzhi is a filial child, and my mother also found it troublesome, so she asked Jingyi to go back to the Imperial Master's Mansion, but they didn't want to go back."

"What's the point of being filial? They just want us to take care of their children." Su Yijun snorted coldly, complaining a lot about this. It was not a good thing for the children to live close to each other. Sometimes he wanted to talk to Rao'er. If you get close, you will most likely be interrupted.

It has become more difficult since Jingyi became pregnant.

All Zhen Rao's thoughts were on Jingyi. After Jingyi gave birth, Baoer was born. Su Yijun was very irritable every day and wanted to drive Baoer out together.

Zhen Rao glared at him.

"Bao'er is still here, what's going on with you, a grandfather?"

Su Yijun felt aggrieved, "Jiu'er, look at your mother!"

Without the burden of being an emperor, Su Yijun obviously became much softer, especially in front of Zhen Rao, he became more and more shameless.

Su Jiu chuckled lightly, and just when she was about to speak, she heard movement outside the house.

"Mother, are you obedient today?"
