Before the list of winners was announced, Qi Yuan took the lead in ordering someone to copy a copy and send it to the front hall.

The people waiting there sipped refreshments, glanced at the list and walked away.

"You are distracted today."

After the list was announced, Gu breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Su Yanqing standing aside with folded arms and said coolly.

"Can I not be distracted while the old man sits there?" Gu Fang shook his arm. He was indeed a little absent-minded on the ring just now. In that moment, someone took advantage of his loophole and injured his arm. Fortunately, it was not serious .

Su Yanqing obviously didn't believe him.

"Hey, where's my dad?" Gu Fang looked around, but couldn't find anyone.

"You left as soon as you got off the stage. He just came to see you." Su Yanqing said, "In the end, he still cares about you."

"He doesn't care about me." Gu Fang lacked confidence and fell silent at the end.

He understands his father's temperament best, even if he cares about people with his heart, he will use the most brutal way.

"Okay, I'm leaving too, to go to Xiangfu at noon?" Su Yanqing asked.

"No, I have something else to do." Gu Fang said and walked towards Bai Yu, he had to go home to make lotus cakes.

Speaking of lotus cakes, I have to think of another person.

Zhuang Zhou.

The next moment, this person was like a plague god, just thinking of him, he put a big face in front of him.

"Hey, it's okay, I invite you to Huayuelou for a drink." Zhuang Zhou patted Gu Fang's injured arm with a big hand.

"Hiss~" Gu let go of his consciousness for a moment, and couldn't help gasping, "You motherfucker, take it easy."

"Sorry, are you injured?" Zhuang Zhou was so frightened that he withdrew his hand and dared not touch him again.

Gu Fang clicked his tongue and didn't want to pay attention, then raised his eyes, his brother-in-law was gone, and even Jun Qianhe was missing.

"Let me treat you to dinner!" Zhuang Zhou persisted.

"Don't eat." Gu Fang turned his feet and walked out, maybe Bai Yu went back to the house directly.

It was too late yesterday to see Jun Ruohan, so he decided to go there this afternoon to see what excuses he could use to keep him out.

"Eat it, or I'll feel bad." Zhuang Zhou tugged Gu Fang's sleeve carefully.

Gu Fang shook off his hand: "Who cares if you feel good or not? When you eat my dim sum, have you ever thought about whether my dim sum is good or not?"

"So you must go for this meal, and I will apologize for your dim sum." Zhuang Zhou strode in front of Gu Fang.

Zhuang Zhou was even half a head taller than Gu Fang, standing in front of him like this made his aura weak by half.

Throwing the food box into his hand, Gu Fang said: "Take it with you, remember, the attitude of apologizing must be sincere."

Zhuang Zhou: "..."

When Gu Fang returned to the General's Mansion, Bai Yu was not there, only Gu Bai was sitting on the small steps at the door of the kitchen, holding a white porcelain plate, eating a mouthful of crumbs of dim sum.

"What are you stealing? It's as dirty as a cat." Gu Fang pushed the little guy's forehead with a finger and looked at it with some disgust.

Gu Bai pouted: "Little uncle made lotus cakes."

"Do lotus cakes again? Where's little uncle?"

"Let's go, I said I'm going to deliver food to the greedy cat." Gu Bai said while licking the puff pastry on the bottom of the plate, Gu Fang couldn't bear to see it like that.

"Okay, stop licking the plates." Patting his son on the head, Gu Fang stepped into the kitchen.

The same food delivery, how come the effect is so different.

When someone gave food, it was reconciled immediately; he also gave food, twice, but failed to reach the master.

It can be said to be quite pitiful.

This time without Bai Yu's guidance, his arm was slightly injured, and he didn't dare to use any strength during the dough making. It took him nearly an hour for two plates of dim sum.

"This is for you to eat." After it was done, Gu Fang left a plate for Xiao Bai, "but you are not allowed to lick the plate."

"Okay." Gu Bai held his own plate of dim sum, although it looked far worse than his uncle's, but at least it was made by his own hands, so he reluctantly didn't dislike it!

Seeing that Daddy was about to go out with a food box, Gu Bai couldn't help but took two steps after him with his short legs: "Daddy, Daddy, where are you going?"

"Give food to the picky cat." Gu Fang said.

After telling the housekeeper Fu Bo to take good care of Xiao Bai, Gu Fang left the General's Mansion without looking back.

Gu Bai looked at the empty gate, and pursed his mouth while eating: "You all raise cats outside, can cats have as much fun as me? They don't accompany me, I want to run away from home and go to grandpa's house."

"That's called visiting, not running away from home." Uncle Fu kindly reminded.

Now Gu Xiaobai's mouth drooped even longer!

Gu Fang said that he wanted to see the emperor, but Eunuch Xi led the people to the imperial garden without saying a word, which was a bit unexpected for Gu Fang.

"Is the emperor not busy?" He asked.

"busy."

"What are you busy with?" He was still willing to see himself when he was busy, and he reckoned that his anger had dissipated.

"Busy about choosing a concubine!" Xi Gong said fairly.

"Choose... concubine?"

The imperial garden in winter is chilly, and the pine needles and wintersweet are covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost. After noon, the hoarfrost drips into dripping water droplets, soaking every meridian.

Today, the imperial garden seems to have regained its colorful and blooming flowers in spring.

Gu Fang was still wondering why he didn't even shirk his request for a meeting today, and let himself in directly. As soon as his footsteps approached, he heard bursts of playfulness not far away.

Looking up, under the plum trees in full bloom, a group of graceful and delicate girls are like colorful butterflies dancing in the sea of ​​flowers, playing hide-and-seek by pushing each other.

And the man who can sit on all the stunning looks is sitting at the side of the stone table at the moment, looking at Yingying Yanyan in front of him quietly with the corner of his mouth bent.

"That's great!" Gu Fang couldn't help sighing, a little envious.

"Your Majesty, General Gu has arrived." Seeing Gu Fang, Lu Sheng came towards this side, leaned slightly and whispered.

Jun Ruohan raised his eyelids and saw the man limping towards him with a food box in his hand and an inexplicable smile on his face.

"My minister sees the emperor."

"Exemption." Jun Ruohan's attitude was obviously a little cold, his eyes swept around the people without stopping, and then moved to the group of beauties.

Seeing him like this, Gu Fang didn't know how to open his mouth to send out the snack in his hand for a moment.

Jun Ruohan let Gu Fang stand aside, ignored him, and just sipped tea and ate the delicate snacks in front of him.

Gu Fang glanced at the unique crystal osmanthus cake, lotus root flour sugar cake, etc. on the table, and subconsciously hid the hand holding the food box behind his back.

It wasn't until the group of beauties were tired from playing that they all sat down on the seats next to Jun Ruohan.

Someone recognized Gu Fang, even though he was just a small bodyguard now, he still bowed to him politely: "General Gu."

This sound drew everyone's attention.

Gu Fang returned a salute in embarrassment, and was about to say that he should step down first, when a beautiful person said: "What is the general holding in his hand?"

Now I really want to hide it.

Of course Jun Ruohan knew what he was taking, but he also looked at him with a puzzled look on his face: "Eunuch Xi said that you had something to see me, and when you saw me, you stood there silently, why did you come to the palace?" ?”

Gu Fang was at a loss for words for a while, and he felt a little embarrassed in front of so many people. The most important thing was that the things he made were really not very good.

"Chen... Chen learned to make a dim sum at home, thinking about it, thinking about showing it to His Highness to taste." Gu Fang bit the bullet and said.

Jun Ruohan raised his eyebrows and laughed: "The general is still afraid that my palace will lack food and clothing?"

The implication is, is there anything you want in this palace, and I need you to bring some snacks?

As soon as this remark came out, all the beauties beside them covered their mouths and laughed lightly.

Gu Fang's face was hot, his mouth opened and closed for a long time, and finally he said dryly: "It's the minister who is worrying too much."

A gust of north wind blew past, blowing away the petals of a tree, rolling Gu Fang's body with ease, making him shiver unconsciously.

"Forget it, I brought them all, let's serve them up for everyone to see!" Jun Ruohan said again.

Where did he have the nerve to take it out, when he thought of the limp lotus cakes he made, he just wanted to find a place to bury them.

"That's right, general, let us have a look!" the beauties booed.

Lu Sheng, who was waiting at the side, stepped forward very understandingly, pulled out the food box from General Gu's hand, and brought it to the master.

The beauty in pink who was closest to Jun Ruohan couldn't bear it anymore, and opened the food box before Little Lu Gonggong.

As the food box was opened, everyone surrounded it one by one.

"Ah~" The expectation of all the beauties turned into a long sigh of disappointment, and they sat back one after another.

Gu Fang just wanted to cover his face at this moment, to be ashamed, to be ashamed.

"Although the appearance does seem a bit... sloppy, but the general sent it specially, everyone should give General Gu this face no matter what, let's taste some." Jun Ruohan glanced at today's lotus cake, which seemed to be better than yesterday's. Being late doesn't make any progress.

Jun Ruohan said it casually, but all the beauties know that this is an order.

Besides, who doesn't know the friendship between General Gu and the emperor, embarrassing General Gu is not giving the emperor face.

There were only five lotus flower cakes on a plate, and they were all eaten in a short time.

However, Jun Ruohan didn't eat a single bite.

While everyone was eating the lotus flower cake, he was still eating the lotus root powder sugar cake in front of him.

Finally, Gu Fang left the imperial garden with an empty food box.

Logically speaking, it is a good thing that the food box is empty. After all, there are still people who eat the food I made, but the person who wants to eat the most does not take a bite, which inevitably makes people feel a little disappointed.

Lu Sheng followed Gu Fang until he sent him out of the imperial garden before calling him: "General Gu."

Gu Fang looked at him with a stampede: "Is the father-in-law doing something?"

"Actually, the lotus cake you made...is quite delicious." Lu Sheng said, although he didn't know why he said these words, but looking at the limping back, he couldn't bear it.

He was in the Imperial Garden just now, and others may not know it, but he clearly understood that the master was deliberately embarrassing General Gu.

"Thank you!" Gu Fang smiled and patted Lu Sheng on the shoulder, "When Brother Gu stands up the lotus petals, I'll give you a plate."

"Then we have agreed, the general will not break his promise." Lu Sheng smiled when he saw that his expression was relaxed.

"Don't worry! I am a dignified general and I won't depend on you for a few snacks."

After Gu Fang finished speaking, he turned and left.

It wasn't until he couldn't see the figure that Lu Sheng slapped his head. Oops, he forgot to tell the general to put more sugar next time.
