I'm back

The regent and Dugu Liu couldn't strike up a conversation, and they didn't look like they were going to strike up a conversation, which made Yan Qin feel a little relieved, and the meal was quite pleasant at the beginning of the meal.

But when the meal was average, Yan Yuge began to look at him and Dugu Liu with weird eyes, which made him unable to eat.

He looked at the food in his own bowl, and then at the other's. They were all white rice, dotted with a few slices of fragrant and bacon.

Because meat dishes are precious, after Dugu Liu cut up the sausage and bacon, she still used clean chopsticks to put a few slices in each person's bowl.Except for old Mr. Dugu who has bad teeth and a few scores, the rest are all average scores.

Yan Yuge didn't eat what was in his bowl, but stared at him to see what he was doing, he was not food.It is said that people who eat delicious food will have a better appetite. If the same food shows a hard-to-swallow expression, no matter how delicious the dish is, it will not taste good.

Although the regent didn't show an expression like eating dog shit, staring at others like this is very disappointing.

Yan Qin didn't want to leave a bad impression of spoiling the food in front of old Mr. Dugu, so under the pressure from the regent, he finished the second half bowl of rice without taste.

According to his original plan, after eating together, he still wanted to stay in Dugu's small house for a while before leaving, but whoever let the regent come, the original plan had to be abandoned.

After eating, he bid farewell to Dugu Liu and old man Dugu, and took away his "uncle" who came to eat and drink with him but didn't eat anything.

Even though the houses of the two families were connected together, when Yan Qin made it clear that he was about to leave, Dugu Liu got up to see the guests out of the courtyard.

He is a good master, and he is very guilty of not being able to fulfill the friendship of the landlord: "There is nothing delicious at home, and I failed to satisfy your uncle Xiaoqin."

Yan Qin shook his head, and said to the young man in a low voice: "That's how he is, Brother Liu, don't take it to heart. Uncle's house is in the city, and when he returns, the house will have prepared food."

The implication was that Yan Yuge wouldn't starve to death without eating, so Dugu Liu didn't need to care too much.

After all, it was just a stranger who met once, Yan Qin, who is a nephew, said so, and Dugu Liu felt relieved.He is now a teacher in a small private school, and he has to study poetry and books carefully after returning every day, so he didn't send much.

Yan Qin stepped out of the room, and Yan Yuge followed.

At this time, the sky was already very dark, and Yan Qin's night vision ability was very good. As soon as he went out, he saw the butler of the palace hiding in a corner not far away.

In the previous two lifetimes, he had seen this butler many times, and he immediately recognized that he was from Yan Yuge's mansion, and said in a low voice, "It seems that Uncle Wang doesn't need me to send him a ride."

The regent never does superfluous things. He must have ulterior motives when he comes to Dugu's house, but he can't tell where the pureness is going. If he doesn't expose the regent, the other party had better not ask him.

Now that Yan Yuge is on a holiday, it doesn't matter if he sleeps at night at Dugu's house. He is different. He has to go to court the next day, so he can't stay outside the palace for too long.

Yan Qin didn't argue with the regent anymore, and after saying this, he entered the courtyard next door.

The regent entered the door of No. 21, and it took half an hour after he entered. The housekeeper didn't dare to disturb the good affairs of the regent, so he stood outside the door and waited.Smelling the smell of food coming from the people's yard, his stomach was growling with hunger. After finally waiting for the people to come out, he didn't see his master and No. 21 walking together, but saw the little emperor in simple clothes.

When the master was talking, he couldn't interrupt even more. He waited for Yan Qin to leave before he trotted over: "My lord, it's time for us to go back."

In order to make the regent's identity as a "passing traveler" more real, he specially asked the coachman to drive the carriage to a distant alley. Yan Yuge wanted to go back, so he immediately called the coachman out.

Before Yan Yuge could speak, he responded to the butler's question with a loud "cuckoo".

The butler immediately showed an embarrassing expression, and covered his stomach: "This subordinate's stomach is disobedient, and the prince laughed."

He spurned his useless stomach in his heart, obviously he ate a lot in the restaurant before, and he was hungry after a while, it really is because he is old and useless.

As soon as the butler finished speaking, the sound of "cuckoo" came from someone's stomach again, this time the sound was louder and clearer - the sound of stomach drumming did not come from the butler at all, but from Regent.

The latter only ate a meal in the morning and never used lunch or dinner. Even if he was hungry, he couldn't stop his stomach from barking.

The housekeeper's expression became very embarrassed. He looked awkward and didn't say anything, but persuaded: "It's getting late, if you don't like the 21st, let's continue watching tomorrow."

There are more than one hundred people on the list, and there may be someone in the next eighty or so that the regent wants.

At this time, the little emperor's carriage slowly drove out from the courtyard gate, and when passing by the regent, the carriage stopped.The little emperor, who had changed his clothes, jumped out of the car and stuffed something warm into the regent's hand: "Birthday return gift, take it, it's not poisonous."

After stuffing, he climbed into the carriage without waiting for the regent to respond.The coachman whipped his horse, and quickly drove the carriage towards the palace. In the blink of an eye, only two wheel marks were left on the soft ground.

After Yan Qin got into the carriage and left, Yan Yuge lowered his head to look at the thing that the other party gave him.That thing is warm and soft, and it is still steaming hot in winter.

The housekeeper took a look on tiptoe: "My lord, this is a roasted sweet potato."

"The king knows." Yan Yuge had eaten this kind of thing when he was at the border before, so he couldn't recognize what it was.

He was just a little strange, why did the little emperor give him a hot sweet potato? What is a birthday gift in return?

Yan Yuge glanced at the butler: "The emperor's birthday, what did the Prince Regent's Palace send?"

On the emperor's birthday, civil and military officials all wanted to give gifts, but Yan Yuge never cared about these things, and they were all handled by the housekeeper.

The butler thought for a while: "The gift is a bunch of agate grapes from the Western Regions."

The emperor, like the regent, has no shortage of rare jewels. The birthday is not based on the value, but on the heart.It's a pity that the regent doesn't need to spend so much effort to please the emperor. If he lacks intentions, he only chooses expensive gifts.

Because the emperor's great-grandmother, the Empress Dowager Sheng, liked agate, the price of Dayan agate was extremely high.The agate grapes are naturally grown into the shape of grapes, and the color is red and bright. There are many in a bunch, and many children are blessed, which has a good meaning.In addition, the emperor likes to eat grapes, so it is a perfect birthday gift.

Yan Yuge was not very impressed with the agate grapes, so he stared at the steaming white sweet potatoes for a while.

Different from Dugu's house before, the bowls and chopsticks were prepared by Dugu Liu. This white sweet potato was boiled in the ashes.

Dugu Liu's family was poor, and the charcoal fire in the house was not enough. Yan Yuge was actually a little shy of the cold because of his old illness from the battlefield.

Little Emperor Liang didn't have the guts to poison himself in sweet potatoes. He peeled off the warm sweet potato skin with his fingers that were a little stiff from the cold, and lowered his head to take a bite. It was warm, soft and quite sweet.

The regent thought to himself, grapes and sweet potatoes are eaten, so this gift can be considered barely passable.

The poor butler sat in the carriage going back, watching the regent face to face as he gnawed off the whole sweet potato with a blank expression.

Roasted sweet potatoes are already more fragrant when boiled. When the regent ate it, the aroma overflowed and filled the small space of the carriage to the brim.He didn't have dinner at night, and he was very hungry after staying in the cold wind for such a long time.

Before returning home, he made up his mind that he must arrange the process of seeing each other tomorrow, and he must not be determined not to starve the regent's stomach.Otherwise, it would be too pitiful to be cold and hungry in this winter.

After eating the sweet potatoes in a leisurely manner, the regent looked at the skin of the sweet potatoes and thought about the little emperor's intentions.Before the first emperor passed away, there was not much interaction between him and the little emperor.After the first emperor passed away, the little emperor ascended the throne, and he became the regent, but the other side always showed rejection towards him.

To be more precise, it was disgust mixed with fear, in short, there was no good emotion at all.How a person can react to someone he doesn't like, that's how the little emperor reacts.So strictly speaking, this was the first time the little emperor showed his favor.

Yan Yuge, the reason why he was able to sit on the position of regent, was that he looked at the same thing, and he could think further than others.When marching and fighting, the enemy guessed his one step, and he predicted the ten steps the opponent would take.

After returning to the capital, his good habit of diligent thinking also helped him climb up step by step.Now that he is an extremely human minister, he naturally doesn't need to figure out other people's thoughts like before.

It may be that the moonlight is so beautiful today, it is rare for him to spend more energy thinking about the little emperor's gesture of favor. After thinking about it, he came to a conclusion: Yan Qin valued Dugu Liu too much, but you must know that the emperor has not yet It is definitely not a good thing for the courtiers to have a son and heir, but to establish a male concubine.What's more, Yan Qin specially reserved the position of queen, and it is very likely that it was specially reserved for Dugu Liu.

Cannibalism is soft, and the baked sweet potato is just a small signal of goodwill. Combined with what the little emperor said earlier, it is likely that he is telling him to say less, so as to save Dugu Liu.

Yan Qin, who was sitting in the carriage, sneezed, which aroused the concern of Chang Xiao in the carriage.

"Your Majesty, please put on this clothes. It's freezing cold, it won't be good if you get wind and cold."

Putting on the warm fox fur for the little emperor, Chang smiled and said: "Is Your Majesty hungry? This old servant even brought some snacks from the palace."

He didn't know what the little emperor wanted to do, but Yan Qin said earlier that the Dugu family looked harmless, but they were actually human beings. If he appeared by his side, he would be easily identified. Before the relationship is not deep, it is inevitable to make people unhappy.

Chang Xiao had no choice but to hire a few people locally to look after the yard, and came out of the palace in a carriage to pick up the little emperor at the right time every day.

He is serving the emperor's daily life, and the most concerned thing is whether the little emperor eats and drinks well.

"No need, Gu is very full." Not to mention, Dugu Liu's craftsmanship is really good, and a homemade tofu is tender and smooth. Although it feels unpleasant to be stared at by the regent king, he unconsciously still After eating a lot, he waited to leave the gate of Dugu's house and took two extra steps before he realized that he was full.

The hardships he suffered in his childhood made Yan Qin develop a good habit of not wasting food. If he really couldn't eat any more, he would not have stuffed the baked sweet potatoes stuffed in the stove to the regent.

After opening the curtain of the car and blowing the cold wind, Yan Qin finally got rid of the face of the regent king.Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, he secretly prayed to the moon god: next time you must remember to save some stomach, and also, never meet the regent again.
