Later, I became the prince of the group

After arguing for a long time, Chu Yan realized that it all started with the empress calling Liu Qi to the palace banquet.

If Princess Zhun'an was a woman, then according to the etiquette of this dynasty, she should stay in her boudoir and learn the lengthy palace rules and etiquette from the nuns sent by the palace. It is impossible to meet her husband before getting married.

But Liu Qi is an aristocratic son, the status of a man is higher after all, and there are not so many taboos about two men getting married. Show how much you value An Wang.

But Liu Qi was scared!

The ever-expanding fear of the past few days ruined his appetite, and knowing that he was going to a New Year's banquet, Liu Qi thought of the bad idea of ​​"If you starve yourself and stay in bed, you can stop going" and eat a little every day and dump a bunch , Just take the empty plate and make a difference.

Unexpectedly, he was so unlucky that his healthy body could not be destroyed by this wave of stupid operations, so he still had to go to the New Year's banquet.

Suddenly eating big fish and meat, the tossed stomach can't bear it directly.

Liu Qi didn't dare to tell the truth, he just said that he had no appetite and had been hungry for several days, but how could Chu Yan fail to guess his thoughts behind it?

After listening indifferently, he suddenly asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, he thought that Chu Yan would at least hurt him a few words.

Chu Yan was patient and asked again: "What do you want to eat?"

Liu Qi shook, and blurted out: "Wonton..."

In the past, when he was sick or in a bad mood, he could always eat wontons made by Mrs. Liu herself.

"follow me."

Seeing Chu Yan walking forward, Liu Qi didn't dare to refuse, and silently followed behind, staring at the section of the road under his feet.

The palace banquet kitchen was very busy. At this time, not only the dumplings from Zishi had to be prepared, but also the dishes given by the emperor. These dishes were to be sent to the homes of the ministers, so Chu Yan rushed to the small kitchen of Fengyi Palace from the very beginning. of.

In fact, the small kitchens of the palaces are quite lively, and the palace people who can’t serve at the New Year’s Eve banquet are cooking their own New Year’s Eve dinner, but most of the people in the Queen’s Palace have gone to the Imperial Palace, and those who stay are also chatting together, At this moment, the small kitchen was idle for a while.

Chu Yan took off his cloak, rolled up his sleeves, took ready-made wonton wrappers and meat fillings, and started making them himself.

Liu Qi was stunned. He thought that Chu Yan just came back and asked someone to do it. He never thought that a prince would make wontons by himself... Not to mention, he is quite skilled... Wait, this is not good, as the saying goes, "a gentleman Far away from the kitchen"... for a while, he even forgot about seven or eight points of his fear of Chu Yan.

Chu Yan reproduced it based on Xinqing's technique in his memory. In the past, Xinqing made wontons, and the silly prince played with the dough at the side. Because it is "delicious", it has a deep memory.Because the skin and meat stuffing are ready-made, he only needs to wrap the stuffing, and it is much easier to make than imagined.He put thirty or so wontons into the pot with light bone broth, sprinkled some dried shrimps in it, and blanched a few stalks of vegetables when it was almost cooked.

After that, a bowl full of wontons was placed in front of Liu Qi.

Liu Qi swallowed, looking eagerly at the fragrant wontons: "It's against the rules..." He felt that he was guilty of making himself worse by asking the prince to wear wontons in a prince's dress.

"You still know the rules?" Chu Yan sneered, and then slowed down, "Eat, it's too late for you to realize that it's against the rules after you're done."

It's a pity that Liu Qi couldn't hear His Royal Highness An's gentleness, and only felt that An Wang was laughing at him for being too busy, so he quickly picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

The kitchen door was wide open, and the heat dissipated quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was already a suitable temperature for the entrance. A bowl of light wontons served with greasy green vegetables made Liu Qi feel a lot more comfortable, and he didn't feel sick, but the amount was more than that. He imagined so much that he couldn't finish it.

Seeing this, Chu Yan took another spoon and ate up the few wontons he had left, and when he turned his head, he saw Liu Qi's shocked eyes.

He thought he was a young master who was used to being picky about leftovers. He explained lightly, "I don't like wasting food. In the future..."

In the future, when you enter the mansion, you will not waste your meals.

Forget it, Liu Qi didn't want to enter the mansion, so he didn't say anything.

"It's been too long, it's time to go back."

Liu Qi followed behind him in a daze, still immersed in the shock of "King An is willing to eat his leftovers", after a long while he came to his senses, a trace of hesitation arose in his heart: He helped me, the dignified prince Cook wontons for me personally... Is he really the kind of person who kills the servants in the yard for a trivial matter...

Liu Qi didn't say a word in front of the empress during the whole annual banquet, nor was he summoned when he left, except that Chu Yan was ordered to accompany him for a short while, it seemed that the empress had forgotten that there was such a person.

But not long after returning home, the Ministry of Rites picked an auspicious day, and then Geng came down to post the betrothal gifts, and even the palace teacher who had been missing for a long time finally arrived at Liu's mansion.

The date was a bit tight, Liu's family was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, Liu Qi was tossed about by the nun during the day, and was tossed about by nightmares at night, so he couldn't help thinking about the possibility of escaping marriage again.

That is to think about it, he dare not.

But he suddenly came up with another enjoyable method-simulating escape from marriage.

Liu Qi has to find a way to sneak out of Liu's mansion once every three days, and he doesn't know where he got so many tricks.

He knew that he would be caught if he couldn't escape far, but he never tired of it, because Liu Wen didn't dare to beat him during this period of time in order to ensure that he could appear in front of the teaching mother healthy and healthy, at most he just kicked him. Twice the buttocks, without hurting the big buttocks.

At first Liu Wen was wary of him really escaping, but later he found out that after Liu Qi slipped out, he went to the homes of relatives such as grandparents and uncles to accuse "my father is so cruel" and neither ran outside the city nor dared to run out of brothels. If you keep him, you won't be too nervous.

So one day Liu Qi finally seized an opportunity and stole the family's horse and pair of cards early in the morning.

As the young master of a general's family, no matter how delicate he is, riding a horse is an essential skill. He galloped all the way to the gate of the city, holding the token in Master Liu's hand.Before Liu Wen trained soldiers, he had to go back and forth to the suburbs of Beijing every day. The guards at the gate naturally recognized the token. Liu Qi could leave the city smoothly as long as he pretended to be his second brother and said that he was working for his father.

Who would have thought that this time the guard only glanced at the token, and ruthlessly exposed it: "You are Mr. Liu San, right?"

Liu Qi:?

"Master Hou has already confessed that apart from himself, you must be the one who took the badge of the Marquis Mansion out of the city, so we must stop it, and he asked someone to draw a few portraits of you, which were circulated more than ten times a day."

The guard let out a long breath: "It's not easy, I finally saw the real person."

Liu Qi: "..."

The guards did not make things difficult for Liu Qi, but only told him to go back quickly, but Liu Qi felt that it was a disadvantage for him to get up so early, so he rode a horse around the city gate. When he did not know how many times he "passed" the city gate, a horse happened to be galloping. came, and almost ran into him.

The owner of the horse reined in time, Liu Qi took a closer look, and couldn't help blurting out: "You also escaped marriage?"

Chu Yan who was about to leave the city: "..."

Liu Qi, who brought misfortune out of his mouth: "..."

Regardless of how worried Liu Qi is these days, anyway, the pressing wedding date didn't affect Chu Yan at all.

To him, it doesn't matter who he marries or not, as long as Emperor Chengxing doesn't think about letting him have a son every day.

As usual, he stayed in the mansion every day to study, read booklets, practice martial arts, and he didn't have to worry about other matters.No, right now he is planning to go to the military camp on the outskirts of the city, this is the privilege granted to him by his father.

Emperor Chengxing's attitude towards this son can be said to be vacillating. At one moment, he felt that it would be good for him to be his idle king with peace of mind. At another moment, he felt that it was a pity that such a good talent was humiliated, so today he asked Chu Yan to go out and wander a lot. Tomorrow I want to call him back to study again.

Recently, Emperor Chengxing changed his temper again. He felt that his health was gradually getting better, and he could start playing with real swords and guns. Wang Che never dared to be serious, so he asked him to go to Pei Guogong, who was guarding the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. Looking for abuse.

Because Pei Guozheng is the current uncle of the country, and so is Chu Yan's own uncle, Jin Ke.

It can be said that if it weren't for the bright red in the mansion poking his eyes every day, Chu Yan probably wouldn't have remembered that he still had a princess who hadn't gotten married.

Liu Qi shivered, trying to make up for it: "No, I want to go out of the city, for example, find a temple to burn incense and pray for blessings..."

Chu Yan couldn't help interrupting him: "There is a Songzi Guanyin Temple only three kilometers away from this city gate."

Liu Qi: "..."

He bit the bullet and said, "Songzi Guanyin... also... okay?"

The end of the nonsense is to fall into the devil's den, and Liu Qi was taken out of the city by Chu Yan, all the way to the military camp.

After the prince gave the order, Liu Qi had to change clothes with Xin Qing who was chasing after him, and pretended to be Chu Yan's attendant to mix in, and then saw that Chu Yan was comfortably on the high platform during the soldiers' drill all morning. Drink tea, read books and play chess.

Liu Qi stood there all morning.

Leg pain, cramping.

He began to feel that Chu Yan deliberately brought him here to punish him in disguise.

In the afternoon, Chu Yan finally found a place where no one was around, took a sword and slowly gestured moves. Several times, Liu Qi wanted to grab the sword and quickly complete a set of moves for him.

On the way, Liu Qi went out to add water to Uncle Chu's teapot, and heard many soldiers complaining: "What the hell is His Highness King An doing here? To bask in the sun!"

I also heard that the flat land that Chu Yan is using has become his own territory, and no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave. It is said that it is to protect the little prince's self-esteem.

Liu Qi took it for granted, it was difficult to meet people if he practiced like that.

When he came back after filling the water, he was surprised to find that Chu Yan was fighting Uncle Jin Guo. The sword was not as soft as it was before, but it became sharper.

Uncle Jin parried calmly, did not take the initiative to attack, and said like coaxing a child: "You haven't made progress, what else do you have besides brute force and tricks? Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you today, as long as you can get rid of me." The weapon in your hand is considered qualified."

It's not difficult to say, but even Liu Qi, the number one rich man in the capital, knows that disarming the enemy's weapons is a hugely difficult task.

However, he only felt that Chu Yan's sword seemed to be out of order at the beginning, but instead had a sense of "overwhelming". Within a few rounds, the sword suddenly smashed towards the other sword with a thousand ton force, The sound of "Zheng" trembled endlessly.

Uncle Jin Guosong didn't know if he didn't let go, but Liu Qi almost let go anyway.

Chu Yan retracted his sword while passing his gaze, frowned slightly, and walked over.

Liu Qi thought to himself and didn't make a sound, what's the matter?

I saw Chu Yan sweeping around his wet hands, and took the teapot: "Is it hot..."

His voice froze, he lifted the lid and took a look, and looked at Liu Qi who was dodging his eyes without a word.

In February, when the spring cold was still there, Liu Qi poured him a pot of cold spring water with slag and broken leaves floating in it.

Forget it.

Chu Yan thought with a good temper.

The order of the parents, the words of the emperor.

How far away can it be.

Let's get married tomorrow!
