The princess relies on the cat to ascend the throne

Lu Wanzhen didn't know how long she would stay here with Le Ning, she took advantage of her lunch break to come here to see Le Ning, because it was inconvenient to go out of the palace to visit the Duke's Mansion when she left Beijing, so she didn't see Aning before she left.

Lu Wanzhen kept this in mind all the time. Although she chatted with the courtiers all the way, and talked about the scenery and human feelings along the coast, she always urged the journey intentionally or unintentionally.

The courtiers only thought that she was forced to make a career, or was eager to return to the palace, but after Lu Wanzhen arrived, she first found an excuse to say that she was a little tired from the journey and needed to rest for a while time.

The people below all understood in their hearts:

It turns out that His Highness is not used to taking a boat, no wonder, after all, he grew up in Wang'an City, he might have been seasick and uncomfortable before, but His Highness didn't show it well.

Lu Wanzhen didn't care what other people thought, and noticed that the shadow guards were secretly guarding around the courtyard, so she found a room to stay, waved all the servants back, and then exchanged bodies with Zhima——

present.

Le Ning raised his hand to run the cat's fur, and asked, "Your Highness shouldn't be able to stay here for too long?"

The cat stood on her lap and nodded gracefully.

Le Ning smiled: "Then His Highness should not be able to taste today's coconut chicken, what a pity."

Lu Wanzhen lowered his head to lick her fingers.

Le Ning shrank his fingertips and stopped teasing her: "Okay, Your Highness, let me go, I was joking."

She said: "For His Highness's safety, His Highness should come here less often. When you come back from Jiangnan, I will go to the streets with you to play again."

Lu Wanzhen looked up at her. The cat's pupils were slender, and it was difficult to express emotions, especially when the pupils were narrow.

In the end, Lu Wanzhen only bowed his head slightly, and expressed to her in an almost docile manner:

OK, everything is up to your arrangement.

Because the appearance of the cat itself is extraordinarily cute, making such a tame beast, the cuteness value has reached a new height.

Immediately, Le Ning felt that his heart had been shot by the arrow of the god of love!

Can't suck!

She couldn't help but hugged the cat into her arms, and lowered her voice, which also changed its tone due to emotional changes:

"Ah, ah, I love you, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, you are so cute!"

Lu Wanzhen: "..."

She knew that this man just loved her hollow skin.

……

Fifteen days later.

Lu's Restaurant opened in Dongshi.

As soon as this news came out, various discussions were sparked in Wang'an City:

"Then the owner of Lu's restaurant is Zou Dequan's young apprentice?"

"Yes, I heard that the child was originally a girl. It was the baby that the Lu family lost earlier. It was stolen from the palace by thieves many years ago, and has been wandering on the streets since then. Zou Dequan picked it up and raised it until today. The Lu family recognized it and brought it back!"

"Where? I heard that Zou was imprisoned for some reason. If he is really the benefactor of Duke Lu's mansion, how can he not solve this matter?"

"Who knows? Maybe he took that little lady away to..."

The two gentlemen were drinking wine in the restaurant next to them, carrying side dishes with chopsticks, vividly imagining the life in the palace while drinking dirty wine, at this moment, the person next to him interrupted:

"What you said is wrong! I see, the water is deep. I heard that the girl stayed in a poor family in Wang'anli. Later, for some reason, the parents who adopted her exposed her body in the courtyard. This case But it alarmed Jing Zhaoyin..."

The two men immediately opened their eyes wide, and asked one after another: "Really?"

The man said triumphantly: "Of course, the two brothers don't know something, mind if I share a table for some wine?"

"I don't mind, I don't mind, brother, sit down and talk about it."

The newcomer sat down, picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, his expression paused, when the two people on the table showed eager expressions, his brows drooped, and he said with a rather indescribable expression:

"This wine... the taste is a bit bad."

"Speaking of which, I have to mention to my two elder brothers that Lu's Restaurant has released a new kind of plum wine, which is clear and sweet, and has a refreshing fragrance. Now you can taste it for free, why don't we change it place?"

The two of them looked at each other for a while, and they were really eager to move about the new wine. They didn't take long to think about it, and they said at the same time: "That's fine."

"I would like to see what kind of wine can have such a fragrance."

……

The same topic is happening everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Even the palace is no exception.

Imperial Room.

Su Hanzhang was fiddling with the kimchi recipe shared by Le Ning a few days ago, and was looking for a suitable stone to press the lid on the kimchi jar. While squatting there, he heard a cook not far away washing vegetables. Ye, while talking about things outside the palace:

"Isn't it better for my two sons to find some restaurants in the city to try something new? Now that there are fewer new products in Zou Gong's restaurant, they don't like to go. I heard that Lu's restaurant has opened in the past few days, but they don't know the taste. how."

"If you want to know, when you are not on duty, you can go to taste it. I heard that the Lu family opened this restaurant for the newly found little girl. She was trained by the imperial chef in the palace before, and her craftsmanship is very good."

The cooks chatted here and there, not knowing that Su Hanzhang listened to what they said.

Lang Jun's slender hands raised a flat long stone and pressed it on the jar, and then clapped his hands. Just as he was about to get up, the eunuch's shrill voice came from ahead:

"Master Su, Madam wants to try some fresh sweet cakes again. I wonder if Master Su is free?"

It is the eunuch who often serves the queen in the Lizheng Hall.

When Su Hanzhang heard someone calling him, he responded in a raised voice, "Of course I'm free, so I'd like to trouble my father-in-law to wait for a while."

"Master Su, don't worry, my mother has told me to wait here, master must be careful."

Su Hanzhang replied: "That's natural. I don't dare to neglect what my mother ordered."

As he spoke, he took out the cloth towel he carried with him and wiped his hands. He got up and wanted to go into the kitchen, but just as he took a step, he suddenly heard a strange tone of leaves blowing from behind.

Like insects.

Su Hanzhang frowned, turned around again, looked around the yard, and found that there was no one around, then walked to the corner, pushed aside the grass, and found a rolled up silk cloth.

He knelt down to pick up the silk cloth, slowly unfolded it to see the contents inside, and then slowly wrinkled his brows.

I don't know when it started, on the century-old tree in the courtyard, there was a shadowy figure hidden among the leaves.

The man suddenly said:

"Are you in trouble?"

Su Hanzhang chuckled, threw the silk cloth in his hand towards the tree, and said: "It's not my problem, but the Emperor Dali may have a headache."

on the tree.

Having read the news sent to him by the informant, Nan Xing rubbed the silk cloth in his palm, and said: "This is indeed your good opportunity, now that the prince is leaving Beijing, and the south has many hugs from you before, if If you want to cut off the lifeline of the Dali Dynasty, you need to grasp the opportunity."

Su Hanzhang just smiled, just the smile that made people feel happy in the past, but now it looks a little ironic.

"My followers?"

He slowly shook his head: "If I'm a supporter, I won't step past me before I give the order."

"They're not embracing me, they're embracing the power they're about to get."

"My bloodline is nothing more than their exploit."

"Nan Xing, I thought you should understand what I want."

Su Hanzhang looked over the layers of leaves, and looked directly at the person leaning on the trunk in the dark.

Nan Xing and him looked at each other for a while, then Fang said: "You helped me before, if I need you now, I will help you."

Su Hanzhang nodded slightly: "Then I will trouble your people to come and clear this door for me."

Nan Xing was silent for a while, and asked him: "Are you really going to cut your own wings for the prince of Dali? You don't want to take back your throne?"

Su Hanzhang laughed softly.

"The throne?"

He shook his head helplessly and stopped talking.

Nan Xing watched his back as he went away, and suddenly realized that from before to now, she had never understood this man. He could bring someone to accompany her back to Nanzhao, and kill those who caused her to escape to the Central Plains of Dali. The royal family, however, traveled thousands of miles back to Wang'an just to allow themselves to learn the most advanced culinary skills.

It wasn't until Su Hanzhang's back disappeared from her sight that she gently closed her eyes.

Forget it, she just needs to help him fulfill his wish and repay his kindness.

……

The business of Lu's Restaurant is in full swing.

No matter how the people in Wang'an discuss the Lu family's family affairs, there is no doubt that nowadays, no matter the nobles or ordinary people, they are all full of praise for the taste of the Lu family restaurant.

For a while, it seemed that the most prosperous scene of Zou Gong restaurant in the past reappeared.

But with the plum wine, coconut chicken, and the other [-] new flavors that Wang'an had never tasted on the opening day, the opening of this restaurant has achieved unprecedented success.

During this period of time, Le Ning has been so busy every day that her feet never touch the ground, she almost didn’t even have time to go back home to feed the cat herself. She is dazzled by the daily account of money and money, and intends to change those complicated traditional numbers into Arabic numerals, this should be much more convenient.

After being so busy for half a month——

someday.

Le Ning is tasting her own wine. The summer plum wine has been released. In autumn, she had a sudden idea to brew a chrysanthemum wine, so that it can be paired with crabs, so she dug out the chrysanthemum wine from the wine cellar. , and see how it tastes.

She took a spoonful of it with a spoon, put it under her nose and shook it gently, and the scent of flowers slowly filled her nostrils.

The same is true of wine made from flowers, with a light fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

She was savoring with her eyes closed, when she suddenly heard a voice passing by outside the courtyard:

"How could something like this happen to your Highness?"

"Who knows, now the court is messing around..."

With sharp ears, Le Ning caught the word Your Highness, walked out of the courtyard with a wine spoon, and asked from a distance, "How is Your Highness?"

Huang Xing, who was walking by with his elder brother, paused for a moment, was quite surprised to find that it was her, and then said:

"His Royal Highness was assassinated in the south of the Yangtze River, and now he has lost the news, I don't know—"

"Bang" sound.

Le Ning's wine spoon fell to the ground.
