Chongxi [rebirth]

Ye Yunting looked deeply at Li Fengqi, wondering if this man was hinting at him.

Li Fengqi also looked at him seriously, with a calm face, as if he was just talking casually.

In the end, it was Ye Yunting who wanted to protect himself everywhere, and said softly: "I can make sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but I don't have time to do it right now, why don't I serve the prince a bowl of noodles?"

Li Fengqi pretended to evade: "Is it too much trouble for the eldest son?"

"No trouble, it's very fast." Ye Yunting said.

"Then I'll have to work." Li Fengqi nodded reservedly: "I didn't expect the eldest son to be able to do this. I have never been to the kitchen, so I just go with you to have a look."

Ye Yunting glanced at him, did not expose him, called Ji Lian, and let him follow behind.

He knew where the back kitchen was, and he found the place by familiar means. He saw the cook and the servants resting at the door. They were all shocked when they saw the two of them coming.The manager bit the bullet and went forward, pleading guilty and asking why he came.

"My lord wants to eat noodles, I'll get him a bowl. You don't have to panic." These cooks took advantage of the fact that the master hadn't set the meal before sneaking in for a while, Ye Yunting didn't want to scold them, so he sent them all out, and went into the kitchen with Li Fengqi .

The servants looked at each other when they heard the words, wondering what the prince and concubine were up to - but they had never heard of a master who cooked by himself.

The firewood stove in the kitchen was still on fire. Ye Yunting turned around and saw that there were all ingredients in it, even a pot of chicken soup hanging, so he asked Ji Lian to heat up the fire, while he rolled up his sleeves and skilfully scooped water into the pot.

As the old saying goes, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but he is skilled in his movements and cooperates tacitly with Ji Lian, without any reluctance or reluctance, he seems to be used to it.

Li Fengqi watched from the side, and couldn't help but ask: "The eldest son used to cook?"

"It's not very often." Ye Yunting recalled it, and said honestly: "The Duke's Mansion did not treat me badly, but I was greedy when I was young, and I always pestered the nanny to make me some snacks. I lived there. Later, the nanny passed away, and if I wanted to eat again, I had to do it myself.”

The nanny's parents are both help cooks in the back kitchen of the restaurant, and their craftsmanship is very good.She has been fascinated by it, and can make many snacks that others can't.Ye Yunting was not taken seriously in the mansion, although there was no shortage of three meals, but there was no surplus either.When the young boy was growing up, she was very hungry, so she tried every means to get some ingredients, and made snacks for Ye Yunting by herself.

Later, as Ye Yunting got older, he seldom begged for food after he became sensible, but Ji Lian was a chubby guy with a big appetite, and he would still be hungry for three meals a day. In order to save his nanny some trouble, he learned how to cook by himself.

He took a look at Ji Lian, who was squatting and stuffing firewood with some clumsy movements, and finally saved him some face.

But Ji Lian obviously didn't care about face. He wiped the sweat from his forehead that had been baked by the fire, and muttered: "Young master is not greedy. Every time you say you want to eat some snacks, you make them for yourself." I ate it, and I only ate a little, it must have been specially made for me." He smiled happily, and then became depressed again: "But the young master refused to do it later, because he thought I ate too much and became fat."

Ye Yunting lowered his face into the boiling water, and took a moment to glance at him: "I still have self-knowledge."

Ji Lian was very unconvinced and had no confidence to refute, so he could only puff his face and blow into the stove.

As a result, the fire in the stove was too big, Ye Yunting knocked on the top of his head with his fingers, and said softly, "It's too hot."

Ji Lian let out an "oh", quickly moved the blower away, and obediently squatted aside.

Li Fengqi watched from the side, and said with emotion: "You have a very good relationship." No wonder Ye Wang was so persistent in wanting to get close to Ye Yunting.

When he is nice to someone, the tender indulgence in his eyes is addictive.

But there are only a handful of people who can be treated tenderly in his heart. He seems to smile at everyone, but in his bones he clearly distinguishes between close and distant relatives, so this tenderness becomes more and more intense. Precious.

Li Fengqi watched silently as he scooped up the soft boiled noodles and put them in cold water, then poured a bowl of clear and orange chicken soup into the pot to boil, and finally poured the cold water noodles into the soup, and after a few breaths, sprinkled with chopped green onions , quickly picked up the noodles, poured the soup, and filled three big bowls.

He, Ye Yunting, and Ji Lian happened to have a bowl for each of them.

Ye Yunting put three bowls of chicken noodle soup into a tray and asked Ji Lian to bring them back to the yard, while he tidied up his sleeves and said to Li Fengqi with a smile, "Okay, let's go back to the yard and eat."

Li Fengqi nodded at him, and was pushed towards the main courtyard by him, thinking in his heart that Ye Yunting was willing to share a pot of noodles with him, he should be his own... right?

The invincible King Yong'an felt uncertain about his deduction for the first time.

……

Li Fengqi finished a bowl of noodles contentedly, with a very happy expression.He summoned Zhu Lie and Wu Geng, ordered the matter to go on, and went to the study with Ye Yunting to continue discussing the follow-up details.

Organizing the banquet was complicated and required about half a month of preparation time. After the two discussed the selection of guests, it took three days to send out the invitations one after another.

Yong'an Palace closed its doors to thank guests for more than a month, and now they are sending out invitations to prepare for the banquet in a big way, and the news naturally spread all over the capital.

Whether it is the court or the people, there are many discussions about this.

The people felt that the prince and the concubine really had a strong relationship, and they were worthy of being the destined couple.

The courtiers were guessing what the intention of King Yong'an's banquet was, whether to go or not, and how it would affect the situation in the court later.

But a banquet stirred up the situation in Shangjing.

Taigan Palace.

Li Zong's face was full of anger, as if a storm was about to come.

The twin brothers knelt beside him, pinching his legs carefully.

After a long silence, Li Zong suppressed his anger and said, "Banquet for the courtiers, what exactly is he going to do? Is he going to rebel?"

"King Yong'an was seriously ill from poisoning. During the wedding, everything was kept simple. Now that he is well, it is reasonable to hold a supplementary banquet and invite guests." Han Chan said, "Why should your majesty care about this? His move is just to provoke you deliberately." .”

"I don't care, is it possible to give him a reward?" Li Zong gritted his teeth and said, "Who knows if he is using this opportunity to make friends with courtiers, with evil intentions?!"

"King Yong'an didn't make friends with his courtiers in the past. Even if he wants to make friends now, it will take time. Besides, His Majesty is orthodox. If he doesn't want to bear the reputation of being a traitor and traitor, he will not do it easily. But for a banquet, His Majesty really doesn't need it." I care." Han Chan lowered her eyes, hiding her impatience.

It's just a banquet, Li Zong is so impetuous and temperamental, what can he use to argue with Li Feng?

Thinking of Li Fengqi, his expression became more serious.He is very clear about Li Fengqi's methods.It's just to force Li Zong to do it.

As long as Li Zong makes a move, the infamy of persecuting the hero will be inevitable, and no matter what Li Fengqi does at that time, it will take up righteousness.

To rebel is to be forced to be helpless; to not rebel is to be loyal to the country and the people.

However, Li Zong couldn't even understand this trick, so he hurriedly stretched his neck into the trap.

The more disappointed he was with Li Zing, the more he admired Li Fengqi.But apart from admiration, there is also a bit of anger and resentment that hates it.

With Li Fengqi's ability, if the two of them join forces, why not worry about a major failure?

Han Chan lowered his head and took a sip of the tea, but when he heard Li Zong calling him several times, he came back to his senses with no emotion on his face: "Huh?"

Li Zong called him several times, seeing his absent-minded appearance, he paused for a moment, then laughed again: "It's nothing, I mean what the teacher said is right, I will call Yong'an King and Princess into the palace, The reward of the big wedding will be made up."

His expression was a little weird, Han Chan frowned, and then felt that there was no need to bother so much, let him toss around if he wanted to, anyway, he didn't want to protect the country, so he nodded lightly: "Your Majesty is wise."

Li Zong looked at him, his smile grew wider, he turned around and told Cui Xi, "Go and tell King Yong'an and his concubine to enter the palace to be rewarded."

Cui Xi took the order to retreat, and Han Chan also got up: "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, I will retreat first."

"Teacher, go slowly." Li Zong watched him walk out of the Taigan Palace with a smile, his back was as pale as a wisp of green smoke.

The smile on his face gradually faded, turning expressionless.

After standing there for a few breaths, he suddenly took a few steps, bent down to look at the kneeling Ruan brothers, stroked their faces with pale and thin fingers, and said softly, "Do you look stupid?"

The two brothers shook their heads quickly, and the elder brother Ruan Liu boldly said: "Your Majesty is a dragon and a phoenix among men, how can he be stupid? If you say stupid, it is also our brothers who are stupid."

"But they all took me for a fool..." Li Zong twitched his lips, remembering the perfunctory smile on Han Chan's face, and covered his face with his hands.

Han Chan is his enlightened mentor, who taught him since he was three years old. At that time, he was just a prince who was not valued by his father, queen and queen. Only Han Chan, the teacher, was willing to care about him and teach him. Unlike others, he hoped He has grown into a cripple.

He has been with Han Chan for 17 years, a relationship that even Li Fengqi in the past can't match.

Because he is too familiar, he can detect Han Chan's impatience and perfunctory.

Li Zong fell face up on the Arhat bed, and laughed slowly.

In the hearts of his father, queen and queen, he will never be able to catch up with his elder brother. In order to pave the way for his elder brother, he would rather abandon him; Went to northern Xinjiang.

These days, even teachers do.

What was in his mind when he was in a trance?Do you think he is inferior to Li Fengqi?

Li Zong laughed louder and louder, he pulled Ruan Liu over and put him under him, biting his ear and said grimly: "I won't let you get what you want."
