The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

In the empty yard of Huazhu.

"Everyone is here. Manager Xue, tell them the results of last night's interrogation of An Zi."

Manager Xue responded and then spoke.

"An Zi's original name was Liu An, and he was Liu Yi's distant cousin. According to An Zi, this Liu Yi was a retainer of the Minister of Revenue, Mo Hai."

"Liu Yi knew that his cousin had some courage and skills, so he introduced him to Mo Hai."

"Then Liu An was sent to Beimo Pass by Mo Hai, concealing his origins and identity, and entered the City Lord's Mansion."

The Minister of Revenue Mo Hai and the Queen's father, Prime Minister Shen Wenchang, are related by marriage, and the Prime Minister's wife and the Minister's wife are sisters.

And this prime minister is the father of the current queen and the grandfather of Ye Chuji.

Therefore, the Minister of Revenue Mo Hai is naturally on the side of the prince.

Since Liu An was sent by the prince, the defense map was naturally given to Liu An by the prince.

Thinking about how close Hua Jingqian and the prince are.

Hua Rongyu was horrified. He looked at Hua Zhukong and said:

"Father……"

Before Hua Rongyu could finish his words, Hua Zhukong raised his hand to interrupt him.

"You don't have to say anything more. If Qian'er really does something disobedient like this, I will never let him go!"

"You can't be soft-hearted just because he's your brother!"

Hua Rongyu still wanted to make a few excuses for Hua Jingqian, but as more and more clues pointed to Hua Jingqian, he opened his mouth silently.

Finally it closed.

"From now on, be more cautious with people around Ye Chuji. Let's all go."

Although he said that he would show no mercy to Hua Jingqian, Hua Zhukong still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He weakly told everyone to go about their own business.

Ever since the day An Zi was caught, Ye Buhuo hasn't been to the military camp for several days.

The New Year is coming soon and there is nothing important to do in the military camp.

Ye Buhuo left all the small matters to Ye Yi to handle.

Besides, Hua Rongyu and Hua Wujing were watching, so Ye Buhuo stayed in the City Lord's Mansion these days, practicing martial arts with Hua Wuke and reading books with her, but the books Ye Buhuo read were all about military strategies.

The last day of this year is approaching.

The City Lord's Mansion was bustling with activity as everyone was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

This is the first time that Hua Wuke has spent the New Year with his family and Ye Buhuo since he became sensible.

She was in high spirits and started busying around early in the morning.

Sometimes I want to hang a lantern here, and sometimes I want to go somewhere to post a pair of couplets.

Ye Buhuo followed her slowly, and when he saw Hua Wuke wanted to do something, he would do it himself.

Hua Wu Ke just needs to give the orders.

After a quick lunch, Hua Wu Ke took his son for a tour of the City Lord's Mansion.

When I was alone in the capital, Jiaming Hall was always deserted.

The second wife was two-faced and sent a few servants to paste some window paper-cuts on Jiaming Hall as a token of her appreciation, but then left it alone.

Now, looking at the City Lord's Mansion which was full of the festive atmosphere of the New Year, Hua Wu Ke's steps became more excited.

Seeing that the City Lord's Mansion was already well decorated, Hua Wu Ke turned and went to the kitchen.

"Grandfather said that dumplings are a must for New Year's Eve dinner in the north. I have never made dumplings before. Let's go to the kitchen and make some."

Seeing Hua Wu Ke’s smile like a wintersweet blooming in the cold winter, Ye Buhuo also curled the corners of his mouth.

"Listen to you."

The first time Hua Wu Ke entered the kitchen, he was full of energy.

In the kitchen, the cook had already kneaded the dough and rolled out the dumpling skins.

Placing a round dumpling skin in the palm of his hand, Hua Wu Ke imitated the cook and carefully put the dumpling skin together and pinched it into wrinkles.

"Sui Sui, what are you doing?"

Today is New Year's Day, and Hua Wujing returned from the military camp early.

I didn't find Hua Wu Ke in the room, so I asked him and found out that Hua Wu Ke had actually run to the kitchen.

Walking up to Hua Wu Ke, Hua Wu Jing could clearly see the dumplings placed next to her.

Each one is plump and although not as delicate and beautiful as the ones wrapped by the cook, they are also small and cute.

"It seems that I am blessed today, as I can eat the dumplings made by Sui Sui."

Hua Wujing said.

Hua Wu Ke raised the dumplings in his hand and said:

"It's your favorite whitebait filling, brother."

Hua Wujing was in a good mood when he heard that Hua Wuke had made dumplings with silverfish stuffing for him.

He glanced over and saw Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke standing together, doing the same thing.

They looked like a couple preparing a meal.

Hua Wujing was somewhat dissatisfied.

Tsk, why didn’t I think this God of War was so annoying before?

Hua Wujing deliberately walked to Ye Buhuo's side and spoke in a boastful manner.

"Sui Sui is so thoughtful. He still remembers that my favorite dumpling filling is whitebait. It's no wonder that you rushed back from the military camp."

"Where's father? Is he back too?"

Hua Wu Ke asked.

"Of course, the barracks are closed today, so father went to grandfather's room."

"I'm going to go see Rui'er. This kid plays like crazy when things get lively."

Hua Wujing left, but Ye Buhuo and Hua Wuke were still busy in the kitchen.

Suddenly, Ye Buhuo took a step towards Hua Wuke.

He spoke in a low voice pretending to be unintentional.

“I like dumplings stuffed with fresh shrimp.”

Hua Wu Ke turned his head when he heard this.

Looking at Ye Buhuo's strong and careless appearance, she knew that Ye Buhuo was feeling a little jealous of Hua Wujing's boasting just now.

I didn't expect Ye Buhuo would be so childish one day.

Hua Wu Ke lowered his head and pursed his lips, unable to help but smile. He did not answer and pretended not to hear.

After a while, seeing that Hua Wu Ke didn't say anything, Ye Buhuo was not sure whether Hua Wu Ke heard him or not.

Worried that his voice was too soft just now, Ye Buhuo prepared to ask it again.

But before he could open his mouth, Hua Wu Ke suddenly said.

"The dumplings are almost ready. Let's go back to the room and change our clothes. We can eat after we're done."

Ye Buhuo opened and closed his lips slightly, paused, and then answered.

"it is good."

After spending an entire afternoon in the kitchen, both of their clothes were covered in flour.

After leaving the kitchen, Hua Wu Ke refused Ye Buhuo's offer to send him back to his room.

"Ah, you're still worried that I'll get lost in this city lord's mansion. Go back to your room and wash up."

Ye Buhuo did not insist. He nodded and went in the opposite direction of Hua Wuke.

The dumplings were cooked in a short while and were brought into the dining room in plates.

Hua Zhukong sat in the main seat. Seeing that everyone was present except Hua Wuke, he asked:

"Sui Sui, are you tired from making dumplings? You're not even going to have the New Year's Eve dinner?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Wu Ke walked in.

"I'm coming."

Seeing Hua Wu Ke holding a plate of steaming dumplings in both hands, Ye Buhuo frowned slightly.

He quickly stood up, reached out to take the plate and put it on the table.

Hua Wu Ke then sat next to Ye Buhuo.

As soon as he sat down, Hua Wuke's hand was pulled over by Ye Buhuo, who placed it in his palm and looked at it carefully.

"Why are you holding the dumpling bait by yourself? Did you get burned?"

The dumplings just out of the pot were indeed a little hot, and they were burning even through the plate.

Fortunately, the weather was cold enough, so Hua Wu Ke was not burned.

Hua Wu Ke shook his head, then raised his chin towards the plate of dumplings he had brought.

"Try it."

The rest of the dumplings were brought up by the servants.

Only this plate was brought by Hua Wu Ke himself.

I guess this is the dumpling bait with silverfish filling that Suisui specially prepared for Hua Wujing.

Ye Buhuo shook his head slightly, with a look of loneliness and envy in his eyes.

"Leave it to your brother."
