The two brothers looked at each other, Li Yuan shook his head first, "No."

Li Ming then said vaguely: "How could there be? I'm surrounded by slaves who obey orders."

Cui Xiaojing didn't give up: "...a court lady and a eunuch are all right, how can there be no one you can trust?"

"Ah, so speaking of it, there seems to be one." Li Yuan hesitated for a while and said, "It's a father-in-law in charge of purchasing in the imperial dining room."

"How do you know the people in the imperial dining room?" Li Ming ate the last piece of dim sum and clapped his little hands, "They have no interaction with you at all."

Cui Xiaojing pulled Li Ming's stool closer to her, wiped his hands and mouth skillfully, and pushed the stool back when he was done.

"You're doing really well, dad." Li Yuan teased, "Can I call you dad too?"

Cui Xiaojing smiled and said, "If you dare to call me, I will dare to answer."

"Don't change the subject!" Li Ming patted his inattentive elder brother, "You don't want to shout at all, so hurry up and explain, how do you know the people in the imperial dining room?"

Cui Xiaojing also looked at him.

Li Yuan touched his nose and said, "You promise not to laugh!"

"Promise." Li Ming and Cui Xiaojing said casually.

"Didn't I often sneak out to play outside the palace?" Li Yuan began to recall, "At that time, I didn't have much strength, so I often hid in the father-in-law's cart and followed him out of the palace, and followed him back to the palace. He often feeds me some delicious food..."

"That can't be considered an acquaintance." Li Ming interrupted him, unable to vomit, "I've only seen your cat, right?"

"What kind of cat?" Li Yuan looked at him, "Why do I feel like you're cursing me around the corner?"

"It's okay to only see a cat." Cui Xiaojing turned the topic back, "We need to find this person and ask him about the news in the palace. The imperial dining room is a gathering place for gossip. Get some news."

"The question is how to find him?" Li Ming turned to look at his elder brother, "Do you know?"

"I can only squat and wait." Li Yuan took it for granted, "He will come out to buy on the first and fifteenth day of every month. I know one place he must go to. The oil shop opened by his brother. As far as I know, in the imperial dining room. All the oil is purchased from his brother."

"Fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, I understand." Cui Xiaojing said, "What day is it today?" He doesn't know much about the day of Da Zhengguo.

"September [-]." Li Yongcheng said.

"Then we have to hurry up and go to the spot." Cui Xiaojing said, "If he comes out a day or two in advance to purchase, we will miss it. If we miss this time, we will have to wait half a month for a new opportunity."

"The Fallen Leaf City and the Blossoming City are not far away." Li Yuandao, "Let's start tomorrow? Make preparations today?"

"What do you need to prepare?" Cui Xiaojing said, "One day is not enough?"

"Not enough." Li Yongcheng explained, "Although Fallen Leaf City is not far from Fanhua City, the Imperial Palace is at the very edge of Fanhua City. In this way, it is a bit far away, and it is quite a trip back and forth in a day."

"Son, you should stay at home." Cui Xiaojing thought for a while and said, "It's not safe to take you out."

"I really want to go." Li Ming said disappointedly, "But it's really not safe." He ate a lot and became unstable.

"I'll bring you some delicious food." Li Yuan comforted his younger brother, "Flower City is not fun, you will know it later."

You say it’s not fun when you’re tired of it, right?Li Ming secretly slandered.

After Aunt Huang removed the breakfast she had eaten and brought a pot of tea, Cui Xiaojing continued to host the next meeting. How to persuade the father-in-law who was out of the palace to help them inquire about the news?
