dim lights

The boat stopped at the nearest pier.

The town is built along the river, and the people in the town depend on the water for drinking. There are fishing boats beside the pier, and there are green reeds behind the fishing boats. The wind blows past, like green waves.Gulls hovered in the surrounding sky, and occasionally a few landed on the fishing boat, squinting their eyes and standing on one leg in the warm sun.

Qi Shiyu said a few words to the escort sent by the emperor, and the guard disembarked and returned about half an hour later.Qi Shiyu disembarked with the other party and walked towards the market in the town.

"Your Highness, what are we going to do?" Shen Tingyun followed the prince closely, holding the sword on his waist at all times. Although he was talking to Qi Shiyu, he kept his eyes on the crowd in the town, fearing that Here comes an assassin.

"Ask me what I'm going to do... Didn't I just say, find a place to make wontons for you. When you arrive in the capital, there are so many things to worry about, how can you have time?" Qi Shiyu smiled and took Shen Tingyun's bag away. The sword was handed over to the guard who led the way, "Walk well, don't look around. This king is a rich and idle man, who would come to assassinate me in such leisure?"

Go, make wontons?

Shen Tingyun's eyes widened in shock.

He thought the prince was just talking for fun, but he really wanted to make wontons for himself?

"My lord, don't, don't..." Shen Tingyun began to regret that he was talking too much, which caused the lord to cook for himself.The prince is a man of gold and jade, and his ten fingers do not touch the spring water, so how can he make wonton for himself?

Qi Shiyu didn't seem to hear what he said, with a smile on his lips, he followed the guards straight into the back kitchen of a tavern.

The shopkeeper of the tavern was already waiting there, and when he saw Qi Shiyu, he went up to greet him, nodded and bowed his head, and said: "The things you want are all ready, these are the pork belly that was killed this morning, and these are the fresh shrimps just out of the water. Shrimp, and noodles, just reconciled. By the way, there is chicken soup stewed in the morning, if you don’t mind, you can use it to make a soup base.”

Qi Shiyu gave Shen Tingyun a look, and Shen Tingyun was full of confusion, not knowing what he meant.Qi Shiyu had no choice but to reach out for the purse that the little guard contained, took a few taels of silver reward from the shopkeeper, sent him out, and then said to the little guard with a smile: "This king forgot, give the reward This kind of thing was originally done by Minger."

Shen Tingyun suddenly realized, and quickly confessed.

Qi Shiyu waved his hand at him, indicating no need.

Qi Shiyu said that the wontons were given to Shen Tingyun, but Shen Tingyun couldn't stand by and watch the prince do it, so he took the kitchen knife and chopped up the meat stuffing.

Qi Shiyu's hands are very skillful, the wonton skins rolled out are as thin as a cicada's wings, and they are wrapped very quickly and delicately.

The two cooperated tacitly, like a couple preparing dinner together among the people.Thinking of this, Shen Tingyun silently lowered his head.

If only they were a couple...

"I didn't expect His Highness to really make wontons." Shen Tingyun opened his mouth before his thoughts went completely astray, cutting off inappropriate fantasies.

Qi Shiyu's knuckle-boned fingers were covered with a thin layer of flour, like the leftover powder left on his hands after stroking a girl's face with makeup.

Shen Tingyun likes the way Qi Shiyu smiles and feels very warm.

Qi Shiyu reached out and pinched the little guard's face.

"Well, my mother is handy. Although she is everyone's lady, she likes to spend her spare time in the back kitchen. Thanks to her, this king is not completely a worthless dude."

Shen Tingyun looked at the lord adoringly, but he didn't realize that the lord left the flour marks on his face.Qi Shiyu looked at the little guard who was wagging his tail at him, and couldn't help curling his lips.

After realizing it, the little guard wiped his face clean with his sleeve, and ran to boil the water with the firewood in his arms. While bending over to light the fire, he didn't forget to ask: "My lord, when do you plan to marry the young master? Three matchmakers and six hires." You have to prepare everything, my lord, if you have any rare and hard-to-find treasures that you want to give to Mr. Yuehua as a dowry, tell your subordinates in advance, even if your subordinates run all over the rivers and lakes, they will find it for your highness."

Qi Shiyu supported his forehead: "Why haven't you forgotten Hua'er, you never leave him in three words, and you just like him so much?"

"My lord is jealous?" Shen Tingyun said, "But I don't even know what Mr. Yue Hua looks like, so how can I say whether I like it or not. If I really like it, my lord, stand here, it looks like jade." People, who can notice the humble subordinates?"

The little guard had a very sweet mouth, even Qi Shiyu felt happy when he heard it.

"You just bully me because I can't see what you look like, and you deliberately made up lies to deceive me." After that, he called the guard sent by Yu Hanyi, pointed at the little guard's face, and asked Shen Tingyun look like.

Guard: "Master Shen has a handsome appearance, with orchids and jade trees. He doesn't look like a guard, he looks like Tanhua Lang in the Golden Palace."

Shen Tingyun felt embarrassed and quickly said no.

"I'm a rough man who practices martial arts, what can I compare to Tan Hualang? My lord has broken me."

The guard smiled and exited the back kitchen again.

After the wontons were cooked, Qi Shiyu refused to ask Shen Tingyun to help, and served him soup himself, put it in front of his eyes, and jokingly said, "Tanhualang, come and eat."

"What Tanhualang, the prince is also making fun of me with the others." Shen Tingyun blushed as if he was about to bleed, and sat awkwardly at the wooden table in the back kitchen, picked up a spoon and ate all the wontons in the bowl cherishingly up.

After eating all the wontons, the little guard turned to Qi Shiyu and said, "My lord, you can eat some too."

Qi Shiyu looked at the empty bowl in front of Shen Tingyun, and said with a smile, "Then you feed me some soup."

"My lord's cooking is so delicious, I can't hold back for a while, I'm going to serve some soup for my lord." Shen Tingyun blushed and refilled a bowl of chicken soup, and gave it to Qi Shiyu.With a smile on his face all the time, Qi Shiyu drank the soup in the bowl in one gulp, and then let Shen Tingyun come over to him.

Shen Tingyun obeyed obediently, letting Qi Shiyu's hand touch his face.

"My lord?" Shen Tingyun didn't know the reason.

"Since I can't see what you look like, I will touch it carefully. If you know it with your hands, you will naturally know it in your heart. Others say that people with darker silhouettes are more beautiful, Ting Yun has a high nose bridge and long eyelashes, so it's natural. It's a beauty."

Shen Tingyun's heart beat like thunder.

The prince is elegant by nature and has a rare good temper. He has no other intentions in what he says and does, and it will bring a layer of ambiguity in the eyes of others.In the past in the mansion, the prince often treated him like this, but after the Lanfang banquet last time, he felt guilty and couldn't help but blush when facing the prince.

But because of lack of support, he became more and more greedy for the way the prince treated him.

"Jingyun, if this king gets married, how about accepting you as a concubine together?"

Shen Tingyun was startled, and took half a step back abruptly.

But then I heard Qi Shiyu say: "It's just a joke, look at how scared you are. Although this king is eclectic, he will never attack his confidants."

Shen Tingyun felt a bit disappointed when he realized it later.If I am not the prince's confidant, can I get closer to him?
