"Your Majesty, this can't be allowed, absolutely can't be allowed!"

Outside the imperial dining room, a group of people were in a hurry. The eunuch at the head was sweating profusely, and persuaded: "Let the slaves come, how can this kind of thing bother Your Majesty..."

In the spacious and clean kitchen, Yu Ke rolled up his sleeves, exposing his strong and slender forearms, standing in front of the stage, lowering his head, cutting things meticulously, turning a deaf ear, with an extremely serious expression, as if he was doing something big.

The eunuch saw that the emperor's kitchen knife was getting closer and closer to his finger, and it seemed that he was about to cut it in the next moment. His heart trembled a few times, and he stretched out his hand to take the kitchen knife, and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please let the servant come ..."

"Shut up." Yu Ke said calmly without raising his head, "Don't talk if you want your head."

The eunuch immediately stopped talking.

Yu Ke was dressed in elegant brocade clothes, his brows were indifferent, his temperament was high and cold, and he was out of tune with this place, but he was holding their common kitchen knife and bumped it against the chopping board one after another, making crisp knocking sounds.

They never expected that the emperor would arrive suddenly—this is the emperor, who is aloof and admired by thousands of people, how could he come to the imperial dining room in person and perform the knife with his own hands?

Because of his arrival, the people in the imperial dining room did not dare to move, they stayed where they were, waiting respectfully for his orders.

Under their watchful eyes, Yu Ke had just finished processing a small pot of white fungus, wolfberry and bird's nest, and it was slowly boiling on the small stove.

"What are you doing in a daze, do your own work." Yu Ke took the porcelain bowl at the side, put the sliced ​​lilies into the bowl, and asked, "Have the lotus seeds been washed yet?"

"Back, back to the emperor, it's finished washing!" The cook waited by the stove, she was stunned for a while when she heard this, and suddenly she was shocked, and hurried forward, picked up the freshly washed lotus seeds, "I also went to the core. "

The white and tender lotus seeds are served in a clear bowl, which is very cute.

Yu Ke took it, put it aside, looked around, and walked to the place where the boiling pot was placed: "Which one is used to boil dessert?"

The cook was much smarter this time, and took out a delicate and small white porcelain pot, and said, "Your Majesty, this is it."

"Reward." Yu Ke picked up the small pot and said lightly, "Let's go out first."

The cook was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Yes."

A fire had already started on the small stove, Yu Ke put the small pot on it and poured clean water.After a stick of incense, the water boiled and made a gurgling sound. Yu Ke lifted the lid and put down lotus seeds, lilies, candied dates, ginger, and rock sugar bit by bit. While stirring with a wooden spoon, he paid attention to the light-colored clothes Don't rub dirty.

Flames sprang up occasionally, but he didn't change his expression. He shook the fan gently with one hand and stirred it slowly with the other, as if he was doing something poetic and picturesque. His eyes were very focused, gentle and sentimental.

The eunuchs and cooks were outside the door, wanting to rush in to see why there was no movement, but also worried about disobeying the order, so they could only linger, frightened for a long time, and finally saw their majesty come out, holding a tray with two There is a small cup and a white bowl and spoon, which seem to be served for others to eat.

"Let the slaves handle such trivial matters." The leading eunuch hurried up, raising his hands carefully.

Yu Ke glanced at him, handed the tray to him, and nodded: "Alright. Follow me to Changyang Palace."

"Yes."

On the way to follow the emperor to Changyang Palace, the eunuch quietly looked at the young emperor under his eyes.

The emperor seemed to be able to do everything with ease, handling state affairs extremely wisely, even cooking was handy, what he looked like before entering the kitchen, and what he looked like after he came out, he didn't look like a novice at all, not even a speck of dust.

Yu Ke has a tall and straight figure. Today, he is not dressed in sharp black clothes like before. He is wearing a white robe trimmed with bamboo green pine and cypresses, which softens the arrogance and coldness between his brows a bit, giving him a heroic look.

When he left, he adjusted his sleeves and collar, the calmness he had just now disappeared, and he seemed a little nervous at the moment.

Arriving outside Changyang Palace, the emperor did not go in directly, but stopped at the door and glanced at the guards.

The eunuch knew that he was Xu Shiwei who was next to the national teacher.

When Xu Shiwei saw the emperor, he seemed to be used to it. He didn't go in to communicate, but knelt down to salute, his face neither humble nor overbearing: "The national teacher is not in Changyang Palace."

The emperor didn't seem to believe it very much, he really wanted to go in and see the national teacher, he pursed his lower lip, but didn't say anything, just nodded, and said: "Then give this to the national teacher, and say it was sent by me."

Xu Shiwei said: "The national teacher ordered that he accepted your majesty's kindness, and he will not be rewarded for nothing. Please take it back."

The emperor clenched his fingers.The eunuch seemed to hear the faint sound of the bones, and he also seemed to hear him grit his teeth and whisper: "I don't want the calligraphy and painting, gold, silver and jewelry, I don't want anything. Now it's just a bowl of sweet soup, and he refuses it? "

The eunuch thought he had heard wrong, because Guard Xu didn't respond.

The emperor stared coldly at Guard Xu who was kneeling on the ground, as if he wanted to burn a hole in the top of his head.

A suffocating atmosphere flows in front of the gate of Changyang Palace.

After a while, the emperor flung his sleeves, turned and left, and the eunuch followed suit.

He didn't know where the emperor was going, so he could only follow cautiously, his heart was already turned upside down.

It is said that the emperor has a deep relationship with the national teacher, the monarch and his ministers, and the master is respectful, so why does he not look like it.What's even more frightening is that His Majesty actually made soup for the National Teacher with his own hands, and the National Teacher turned the Emperor away!

If it was someone else, it must be a crime of disrespect to cut off the head, right?

Even if the national teacher is the emperor's teacher and the emperor respects him, he can't just rely on his status to be so presumptuous?Being favored and arrogant, throughout the ages, this kind of powerful minister has all suffered a dismal end.

Look, His Majesty's face is not worried!Now the national teacher will suffer!

The emperor walked very fast, as if he was really angry, he was walking indiscriminately, the wind was blowing under his feet, he walked around the winding corridor, but he stopped suddenly, and almost missed him.

The eunuch quickly stabilized the things in his hands, and followed the emperor's line of sight.

The air is fresh after the rain, and the dewdrops on the lotus leaves reflect the sunshine.The lotus pond in the palace is watered with warm water. Even in late autumn, there are still thousands of lotus hearts and thousands of lotus blossoms.

On the open-air corridor, a person is standing on the jade steps, wearing a moonlight long-sleeved cross-neck gown with bamboo pattern borders, extremely elegant and noble.

There are tens of thousands of precious carps in the pond, swimming happily, in various colors, but they can't melt the indifference of the people on the lake.

The emperor moved, as if he wanted to go that way, but stopped, just stared blankly, as if he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

But the national teacher noticed it, stopped the feeding action in his hands, turned around, and looked this way.

His eyes were cold, but it was like the most powerful ice and snow in the world, which could take away people's mind in an instant.

The eunuch suddenly saw that the national teacher was not wearing a veil, and the plate in his hand was almost unsteady.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't notice, just like him, even worse, staring at the national teacher in despair, not willing to move away for a moment, murmured: "Chutang..."

The national teacher didn't seem to hear it, so he withdrew his eyes lightly, turned around and continued to look at his fish, as if he had never seen the emperor.

The eunuch sweated for him.

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't care at all, and there was no sign of anger at all, but his eyes became deeper.

As if he couldn't bear it anymore, Yu Ke took a step forward in a daze. He didn't see the steps clearly and almost fell down. He refused the eunuch's support, stabilized his figure, took a deep breath, and walked over there.

Chu Tang was feeding the fish.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned a deaf ear to it, casually sprinkled the last handful of fish food, and the carp scrambled to grab it.

Yu Ke felt that he was one of those fishes, seeing Chu Tang was like a hungry ghost seeing delicious food, wishing to occupy him firmly and prevent other fishes from seeing, touching, or snatching him away.

Chu Tang turned around, and the corner of the moonlight clothes flew out in a beautiful arc: "See Your Majesty."

He was about to kneel down, but Yu Ke hurriedly pulled him up: "National teacher, national teacher don't need to salute me."

Chu Tang looked behind him.

Yu Ke realized that there was an outsider, turned his head, took the tray, and said, "Back off."

"Yes." The eunuch bowed and stepped back.

Yu Ke turned his head, the cold frost receded, his eyes were full of joy: "Chu Tang, so you are here."

"What is Your Majesty doing here?" Chu Tang said indifferently, his voice was lingling, like the crisp sound of jade and stone hitting each other.

Yu Ke was like a child, if it wasn't for the tray in his hand, he would have danced and danced, and said happily: "I walked carelessly... so you are really not in Changyang Palace, I thought you were lying to me, that you You just made excuses because you didn't want to see me."

In a pond, the clear mirror shines on the eaves. The carp in the pond wags their tails and wanders around the place where the food was thrown just now. Slowly, they find that there is no food. Most of them have dived to the bottom or swam to another place. There is only one. , stubbornly staying in place.

Chu Tang glanced at it, lifted his robe, walked up the corridor, and said, "I don't need to lie to Your Majesty."

"Yes, yes, the national teacher keeps his promises, so naturally he never lied to me." Yu Ke repeated.

He looked at Chu Tang greedily.

Since that night, he hadn't seen Chu Tang for several days.He misses Chu Tang so much, he dare not step in to see him even though that door is right across from him, he misses him more than the pool of water here for a few days.

He began to wonder if he shouldn't have a showdown with Chu Tang that night, impulsive, unprepared, and disgusting.He also thought that if Chu Tang calmed down and was willing to let him see him, then he would hide his thoughts first and wait until Chu Tang didn't mind him before showing it.

Yu Ke restrained his emotions and said, "Is brother watching fish? I haven't seen fish for a long time."

"Well," Chu Tang nodded, glanced at the things in his hands, and said, "Since His Majesty has something to do, I won't bother you."

Yu Ke hurriedly said: "It's nothing! It's nothing! I, I just came to find you... By the way, I made two sweet soups, brother, do you want to try it?"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness," Chu Tang said with a faint smile, "It's just that I don't have the blessing to enjoy it, so I'll take my leave first."

He turned to leave, but Yu Ke grabbed his hand.

When Chu Tang turned back, Yu Ke's eyes were slightly red, and he begged, "Just take a sip, you taste it, and I'll leave right away after I taste it, okay?"

He held the tray with one hand, being careful not to let it fall, and held Chu Tang with the other, his fingers trembling slightly.

Chu Tang seemed to feel that something cold touched his hand, like snow.

He looked down and saw the string of crimson beads.

"Brother, okay?" Yu Ke whispered, "You haven't talked to me for a long time."
