In the court hall, the emperor issued a decree to reward the three armies. The whole country was full of joy, and the capital was even more lively. This time, the prayers made great achievements, and they thought they would take the opportunity to increase officials and ranks, but in the end they only sealed some gold, silver, jewelry and land. There is no serious official position, as usual, he hangs up a job in the Ministry of War, and he doesn't even have to go to court, which is a bit intriguing.

The people in the capital are all human beings. Looking at the posture, they guessed that Xu Qishu had offended the emperor, and then thought of Qishu's rebellion against the decree to leave the capital, even though it was the emperor's decree at that time. , but that also refuted the face of the royal family, and it is understandable for the current emperor to be dissatisfied with the prayer tree.As a result, the General's Mansion, which used to have a constant stream of visitors, became much deserted. Even if they came to the door, most of them went there for auspiciousness, and the gifts were all things that children could use.Although the praying tree is not welcomed by the emperor, the auspiciousness is different. When this little guy arrives in the capital, first the third prince is furious in his backyard, and then the emperor is furious in the harem.What does Jixiang's one-year-old milk baby know?It is obvious that the emperor dotes on him.

Ye Feiyang would occasionally follow Uncle Fu to check the warehouse. According to Uncle Fu, he was giving him his family fortune, but Ye Feiyang didn't want to get this level, so he just focused on the good things that were full of eyes, tsk tsk sigh in admiration.Uncle Fu saw it, and shook his head helplessly, this child is so sincere!

After two days like this, Ye Feiyang finally found an excuse and planned to show off his skills in the kitchen, inviting Xiao San and old doctor Liu Shangshu to have a meal together.Fu Bo stopped him several times to no avail, so he had to let him go.In a blink of an eye, I saw Jixiang following behind Ye Feiyang, and kept talking in a small mouth: "Dad, you have to prepare a lot of delicious food. Jixiang is very hungry." Uncle Fu followed Jixiang with a bitter face. Later, he tried patiently to prevent the young master from following into the kitchen. This young master is going to be a general in the future!How can you soak in the kitchen at such a young age!It's a pity that Jixiang didn't listen to him, twisted and twisted his small body, and looked at him pitifully with his small mouth curled up as soon as he was stopped, looking like he was about to cry, who would have the heart to keep blocking him?Fu Bo felt that several strands of his hair had turned gray in just one day.

Seeing Uncle Fu's entanglement, Ye Feiyang naturally knew what he was thinking in his heart. In fact, he himself didn't want to be lucky in the kitchen. It's amazing.He immediately turned around and hugged Jixiang: "Good boy, I promise to prepare a lot of delicious food for you. Go to Daddy's place and help Daddy welcome the guests, okay?"

Ji Xiang pouted, obviously not satisfied with this proposal, Ye Feiyang coaxed again: "Your third uncle will come today, and he said he would bring you some snacks, if you go late, in case they are hungry If I ate it myself, wouldn't that auspiciousness be gone?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiang's little face became serious: "Dad, Ji Xiang is going to help Dad!"

"Good boy." Ye Feiyang, who successfully tricked the little guy away, didn't feel any guilt at all. He kissed Ji Xiang, then put him down, and watched his little figure go away. The little guy is walking more and more steadily now, not bad!

It was said that Ye Feiyang was cooking, and there were a bunch of people behind him. As soon as he moved a little, someone came up and asked, "Second Master, what do you need, the younger ones can do it." Ye Feiyang had no choice but to divide the chores After a while, I only do the final processing and cooking procedures, and discuss with the two chefs in the mansion by the way.Just halfway through the cooking, Uncle Fu came in, with a hasty expression on his face: "Second Master, the emperor is here, can you add some more dishes?"

Ye Feiyang thought about it. Several of the dishes he cooked were favorites of the emperor, so there should be no need to make them again.But I can't say this directly, I have to turn a corner: "Uncle Fu, don't worry, this General Qi asked me to make first-hand preparations last night. I didn't expect the emperor to really come. This dish is enough."

Only then did Uncle Fu heave a sigh of relief: "That's good, it's better for the two masters to be considerate."

Ye Feiyang was extremely guilty and ashamed when he heard it, and quickly turned his head to continue cooking.Seeing that the dishes were almost ready, the cooks boldly pulled Ye Feiyang out of the kitchen and asked him to meet those nobles as well.Ye Feiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he went to wash his hands, changed into clean clothes, and went to the front hall, but before he arrived, he heard Ji Xiang's crisp laughter from a long distance away, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.

When entering the door, the emperor and Xiao San were sitting on the main seats, one on the left and the other on the right, Ji Xiang was held in the arms of the emperor, Ye Feiyang was thinking whether to kneel down to salute, when Xiao San pointed at the tree with a fan The empty seat next to him: "Feiyang is here, try this tea, it's a new tribute a while ago, you probably haven't had it before." Ye Feiyang smiled at him, then looked at the emperor next to him, the emperor glanced at him , the tone is very casual: "Sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Ye Feiyang said this, he sat down beside Qishu, and the maids at the side quickly came over with a bowl of tea. After taking a sip, he felt that it was not bad, so he drank a few more sips and emptied the small teacup in a short while.

Xiao San said with a smile: "It seems that Fei Yang likes this tea very much, it is right for me to offer flowers to Buddha."

Ye Feiyang put down the teacup, feeling a little embarrassed: "Actually, I don't know how to taste tea. It's the first time I drink such a good tea, but I just think it's very refreshing and delicious, so I finished it in one go." Just finished speaking, Several people in the room laughed.

Liu Shangshu: "Feiyang is more honest than Qishu."

Xiao San shook his fan: "It's not bad to feel fresh and delicious."

After hearing this, Ji Xiang immediately said: "Ji Xiang is thirsty and wants to drink tea."

The corner of the emperor's lips twitched into a smile, and he brought his own cup to Ji Xiang's lips, his movements were natural and smooth: "You just heard people say it's delicious, so you want it."

Ji Xiang really didn't take two sips: "I'm full."

Xiao San teased him: "Are you full? You can't eat any more later, your belly will burst."

Jixiang turned his head and pouted at Xiao San: "San'er is bad!"

"You little thing! The fathers are back, and they don't even call you uncle! Next time, let's see if I will take you to play!"

Everyone smiled: "The third prince is actually serious with a baby boy, really..."

……

During the meal, everyone sat at the same table as usual, but Jixiang sat in the emperor's arms. Seeing that the emperor didn't intend to hand him over, Ye Feiyang naturally didn't dare to ask for it. Fortunately, the emperor was more skilled in feeding Jixiang. This is what he has practiced for a while, and for a while, Ye Feiyang felt a little grateful, no matter what the purpose is, this proud man of heaven is willing to put down his airs to feed Jixiang, this is worthy of his father's gratitude!However, Ye Feiyang only dared to be grateful in his heart, and never had the guts to say it out.

After dinner, the emperor waited for Ji Xiang to fall asleep, and then he got up and left. Before leaving, he said lightly: "The queen mother wants to see you. Tomorrow morning, when Ji Xiang wakes up, you take him into the palace together."

Ye Feiyang has been out of his mind for a long time and even the whole night, the Queen Mother wants to see him!Queen Mother!On TV, none of the empress dowagers is friendly, they are all the kings who survived the fierce harem battle!It's not something a good young man like him in the 21st century can handle!What's more, what does the Queen Mother want him to do?Do you want to take auspiciousness with you?Could it be that the old man wants auspiciousness?

Early the next morning, Ye Feiyang set off with a beautiful and exquisite auspicious attire, and arrived at the gate of the palace smoothly. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw an eunuch greet him: "Master Ye, young master, please Come with my servant."

"Thank you." Ye Feiyang hugged auspiciously and followed the eunuch into the majestic city gate. This feeling is very different from the time when he went to the Forbidden City. Back then, he felt the majesty of the city gate. , at this moment, but only feel the heavy pressure!So many guards with swords are not just for show.On the contrary, the auspiciousness in his arms obviously came in and out too much, hugged Ye Feiyang's neck, and leaned against him softly. The little guy ate two extra carrots in the morning, so he was not in a good mood.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the eunuch father-in-law led them to stop beside a sedan chair beside him, bowed and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair: "Master Ye and young master please get on the sedan chair."

Ye Feiyang silently looked at the four men around the sedan chair, suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, and got into the sedan chair with the idea of ​​going to the countryside to do as the Romans do.Along the way, Ye Feiyang secretly lifted a corner of the curtain and looked around curiously.The palace was empty, and occasionally maids and eunuchs hurried past. Compared with the people coming and going in the modern Forbidden City, it was really quiet and terrifying. After watching Ye Feiyang for a while, he put down the curtains. There was really nothing to see, so let’s think about it later What should I do when I see the queen mother?

The sedan chair walked all the way for a long time before it stopped, and a slightly old female voice sounded outside: "Young master Ye, young master." Immediately, the sedan chair curtain was lifted, and Ye Feiyang hurriedly walked down with Jixiang in his arms. An old court lady, smiling softly, with a kind and kind face, he couldn't see the clothes, but the ornaments on her head were more expensive than those young court ladies just now.The image of "Nurse Rong" popped up in Ye Feiyang's mind. Could this old palace maid be the old lady next to the Queen Mother?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Ji Xiang say: "Hello, Nanny Liu!" Ye Feiyang almost reflexively raised his head and showed a flattering smile at the old nanny: "Hello, Nanny Liu." The old nanny or something, That is a very important existence!Must please!

Grandma Liu looked at the handsome and elegant young man in front of her. The smile on her face was exactly the same as that of Jixiang. She nodded secretly in her heart. It seemed that she was able to teach Jixiang to be so well-behaved. The master has worked hard all the way, go in with the old slave and rest, the empress dowager is already waiting for you."

Ye Feiyang said yes again and again, and followed the old mother with low eyebrows, not daring to look away. Before coming, Qi Shu had told her that the old queen mother liked to be polite and know how to advance and retreat.The empress dowager's palace was built relatively high, Ye Feiyang only felt that the steps in front of him were one after another, which made people dizzy.

Just after climbing the stairs, Jixiang struggled to go down, Ye Feiyang thought about it, and let him go, watching Jixiang walking towards the inside with small steps, the old mother and eunuchs surrounded him within two steps , guarding him carefully, seeing this, Ye Feiyang immediately withdrew his gaze and followed Nanny Liu.

"Auspicious greetings to the queen mother!" Jixiang's crisp voice resounded in the hall.

The queen mother wanted to stand up in front of Ye Feiyang, but she kept silent all the time, but now she heard Jixiang's cute appearance, how could she bear it: "The Ai family hasn't seen Jixiang for several days, I want to die Aijia is here, come here soon! Let Aijia take a good look."

Ji Xiang jumped into the Queen Mother's arms with his calf bumped: "Ji Xiang wants to kill the Queen Mother too!"

Ye Feiyang twitched the corners of his mouth, somewhat understanding why Ji Xiang was favored so much, this kid is really good at acting!That little mouth cheats the dead and doesn't pay for their lives!Thinking in his heart, he walked to the middle of the hall obediently, and knelt down on his knees according to what the praying tree taught him last night: "The grass people have seen the empress dowager, and the empress is a thousand years old."
