After I disguised myself as a woman, I was reunited with the regent

, he did not go back to the East Palace in the morning because he was waiting for dinner.

They're going to sleep in the same bed, so it shouldn't be a problem to have a meal together.

He Lanzhao usually eats at the prince's place at noon. He returned to the prince's house in the morning and went straight to the flower hall where he had dinner. When he passed the yard, he saw the window of the study room was open. Princess Mingzhu looked at him with her head up, greeted him cheerfully, and then disappeared. , and immediately ran out of the study like a little cheetah.

"'He Lanzhao! Let's eat!"

Lin Yi got up late and didn't have breakfast. He was already hungry. Although he didn't pay much attention to etiquette, he knew that guests could do whatever they wanted, and he would always wait for He Lanzhao to come back for dinner. It's not good to eat happily.

He Lanzhao didn't expect that Princess Mingzhu was waiting to eat at his place, but the servants of the prince's office had good eyesight and prepared extra bowls and chopsticks in advance.Seeing Princess Mingzhu and the regent walking towards the main hall together, they put Princess Mingzhu's bowls and chopsticks on it.

Now that the matter has come to this, He Lanzhao had no choice but to switch the persona, and said with concern: "Uncle Huang came back a bit late, are you starving?"

It was meal time, and Lin Yi was in a good mood looking at the table of delicious food. It was rare that He Lanzhao didn't tear down the stage, "It's okay, okay, sit down and eat."

He Lanzhao said empathetically, "If you're hungry, eat first."

He washed his hands in the copper basin carried by the eunuchs, and took a small dish and mixed a dipping sauce in front of a tray with seasonings.

Lin Yi watched his movements curiously, and then looked at the dishes on the table.Braised beef, a large pot of stewed mutton, special pork and green onion dumplings for the Spring Festival, and a plate of sugared garlic.

Unexpectedly, He Lanzhao's taste is quite heavy.

He Lanzhao had stayed at the border for several years, and his eating habits had changed a long time ago. He always felt uncomfortable eating the delicate dishes that people in Kyoto loved. That's why he specially set up a small kitchen in the prince's house. The chef didn't have to choose from thousands of choices. It is enough to call the cook who cooks a large pot of rice.

He Lanzhao put the dipping sauce in front of Lin Yi, turned around and made another dish.

Although Lin Yi's right hand is injured, he has the unique skill of using chopsticks with his left hand. He tentatively dipped some sliced ​​braised beef into the mouth. The strong smell of vinegar first tasted so refreshing that his sense of taste seemed to have failed. But when chewing the beef, the taste buds seem to come alive again. The taste of spices in the beef, the taste of spicy oil in the dipping sauce, and the taste of green onion and coriander all burst on the tip of the tongue.Obviously it is this kind of stimulation without modification, but unexpectedly it has the power to directly hit the taste buds, making people feel that the whole mouth is activated.

Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he was full of praise for He Lanzhao's dipping sauce. He peeled off a clove of sugar and garlic and ate it. He felt that he had turned into that rough Northwest man, and seemed to transcend the body of this pretending little girl for a moment. .

Princess Mingzhu didn't pay attention to her posture at all, she ate one chopstick after another, forgetting about the big living person sitting opposite her.After eating happily, he stretched his chopsticks towards He Lanzhao again, and tasted He Lanzhao's dipping sauce, which contained a lot of dried chili powder, which made his lips turn red and stick out his tongue, as if he was reincarnated from a starving ghost.

He Lanzhao looked at the plate in front of him, hesitated for a while but did not change to a new one, and pushed it forward, signaling Princess Mingzhu to dip it casually, thinking to herself that if her hand was injured, she would eat spicy hair to see how long her wound healed.

Thinking so, when Princess Mingzhu really stretched out his chopsticks, he reached out and knocked them off again, "Eat less of these, and be careful of wound inflammation."

At present, there are so many gourmet foods, not to mention that Fawu is only a Chinese medicine statement, at most, it is enough not to eat too spicy.

Lin Yi had a great time eating the whole meal. He Lanzhao's food here was really good, and he finally had a friend to eat with him, so he felt some rare joy in his heart.Seeing that He Lanzhao didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, he personally picked a dumpling for him, and was immediately criticized by He Lanzhao.

"Mingzhu, don't you know how to use serving chopsticks? It's a joke."

At this moment, Lin Yi didn't care about He Lanzhao's posture as an elder. He laughed twice, changed the chopsticks and picked them up again, and said, "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while."

The unexpected harmony of this meal.A strong adult man, and a fake little girl who is growing up, the two of them worked together to eat everything on the table, and there was no sugar and garlic left. The eunuchs who were serving were trembling because they were less prepared.

Lin Yi didn't know whether this rare and happy moment was He Lanzhao's performance from the heart, or his proficient performance. In this lonely and lonely world, in the cold and quiet palace, he hoped it was the latter.But he didn't think deeply about this question, he thought things were more simple, if he was happy now, then he could enjoy himself while he was there, why bother himself with messy things.

Lin Yi stayed at the prince's place for a day, and when it was time to go to bed, He Lanzhao left the palace and returned home, leaving Lin Yi alone.

Lin Yi was overjoyed, he didn't expect to have the opportunity to explore the secret way of the prince so soon.But he was overjoyed too early. He Lanzhao left Ah Er behind, saying that in order to protect the safety of the princess, he would watch at the gate at night.

He Lanzhao's personal guards were all highly skilled in martial arts and had excellent hearing. Lin Yi could only rest his mind and sleep peacefully in the prince's room for a night without doing anything.

The next day's New Year's Eve banquet was in the evening, and Lin Yi, as the only princess in the royal family, had to spare some time even if she didn't want to attend.The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent over the dresses to be worn long ago, but Lin Yi stuffed them into the cabinet and pressed them at the bottom.

After lunch, Bai Xue found out the suit and sent it to the prince's office.Ancient people's clothes were inherently complicated to wear, and Bai Xue had to dress him up under Lin Yi's resistance and interference.

Lin Yi went out with a skirt that was in the way, and saw He Lanzhao waiting for him outside the prince's office, just like the day of the emperor's funeral.

He Lanzhao had been here for a while, but he didn't go in after hearing that the princess was changing clothes inside.He crossed his arms and watched the pure white snowflakes fall, and touched the Liannu hidden under his clothes on his right forearm with his left hand.

As soon as I put down my hands, Princess Pearl came out.Dayao respected purple, and Princess Mingzhu wore purple clothes of the same color as He Lanzhao, with a very displeased expression on her face.He Lanzhao saw that she didn't look like she used to look up to the sky, but she didn't seem to have changed, except that the color on her lips became more vivid, and the inconspicuous crescent-shaped scar on her face was completely invisible.

Lin Yizheng was angry because of the powder and lip balm. When he passed by He Lanzhao who was wearing a purple python robe, he only greeted him in a muffled voice, and got on the sedan chair behind.

He Lanzhao's eyes signaled Ah Er to follow behind Princess Mingzhu, and he boarded another sedan chair to have the New Year's Eve banquet with Princess Mingzhu.

If Lin Yi had observed carefully, he would have found that the people around him were He Lanzhao's personal guards, all of them had serious expressions, and there was no smile at all during this New Year celebration.

The author has something to say:

I just wrote about Chinese New Year, hehehe

13. New Year's Eve

By the time of the New Year's Eve banquet, the ministers and their families had already arrived. He Lanzhao led Lin Yi to walk up amidst the crowd's kneeling, and the two sat together at the top.

Lin Yi lowered his head and hid his face, and began to eat with a gloomy expression. He had just taken a bite when he heard the minister who was chatting with He Lanzhao mention himself.

It was Mo Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who was also the uncle of Princess Mingzhu's mother's family. When the emperor died, he didn't see him visiting his niece. Now his son began to care about her hypocritically.

Lin Yi was not interested in socializing, but fortunately, the acting madman He Lanzhao stepped up for him, and had a good chat with that cheap uncle.

Lin Yi ate his own again. He choked on his throat after two mouthfuls. He wanted to take a sip of fruit wine, but He Lanzhao grabbed his hand before touching the glass.

He Lanzhao shook his head, "Mingzhu, don't drink alcohol when you're too young, let someone bring you a cup of tea instead."

The ghost knows how he can take care of Lin Yi's actions while dealing with many ministers.

After He Lanzhao said this, he took Lin Yi's wine glass away, and poured the wine on the ground under the cover of the table.

"He Lanzhao you!"

Lin Yi yelled in a low voice, knowing that this was not an occasion to lose his temper, he stretched out his hand and pinched He Lanzhao's arm severely.

He Lanzhao's face was calm and breezy, and he didn't even blink his eyes.Lin Yi withdrew his hand unwillingly, but felt that he touched a hard object, not like the solidity of a human body, but like some kind of wood.

Lin Yi carefully looked at He Lanzhao's forearm. The python robe was protruding from the corners, and the folds looked square, as if there was a wooden box hidden inside.

What are you doing with such a thing in your sleeve?

Lin Yi didn't think too much, and concentrated on thinking how to slip away.He scanned the hall aimlessly, but suddenly felt a burning gaze.

According to the feeling, the old acquaintance Mo Lanlan was staring at her angrily.After the last time we met, Mo Lanlan was proud of Princess Pearl's difficult situation. She thought she could crush her into the mud under her feet, but she never expected to come to the New Year's Eve banquet. She still had to kneel and salute.

Mo Lanlan had already spoken in the circle of aristocratic women, explaining that Princess Zhu had already been reduced to the point where she was even worse than ordinary ladies.The original Princess Pearl was domineering, and most of the noble ladies had enmity with her. After hearing this, they thought that Princess Pearl had lost power, so they stopped being afraid of her, and instead praised Mo Lanlan.

Mo Lanlan was so flattered that she even forgot the identity of Princess Pearl.But no matter how much the regent dislikes her and how much he bullies her, she is still Dayao's only princess. If the regent wants to win the hearts of the people, he cannot touch her in the open.

What's more, Moranlan
