night,
Chu Yang received an invitation to come to the palace to attend the dinner, and several other vassal kings and princes were also invited.
"Son, pay respects to father and queen!" Kneeling down, everyone immediately saluted the emperor and queen sitting at the table.
"You don't need to be too polite, come and sit down!" Looking at his six people, the monarch beckoned everyone to sit down.
"Thank you, father!" In response, everyone stood up. The prince sat next to the monarch, followed by the second prince, the third prince, the male protagonist, the fifth prince, and finally Chu Yang, who happened to be next to his mother.
This table is a table for ten people, and now they are eight people, so it is still very spacious after sitting down.
"Father, this table is really interesting. There is actually a hole in the middle. After eating later, won't the food fall off?" Looking at the table with a big hole in the middle, the Second Prince asked amusedly.
Hearing this, the monarch chuckled lightly. "You, it's so rare, this hole is used to put a copper hot pot."
"Yes, the size of the copper hot pot just matches this hole, so the pot can be placed directly on it." Nodding, the queen said the same.
"But even if there is no such hole, wouldn't it be the same on the table? Why do you need to dig a hole?" The prince didn't quite understand this.
Hearing the prince ask this, the monarch couldn't answer. His gaze fell on Chu Yang. Seeing that the monarch's eyes fell on Chu Yang, the eyes of the others also fell on Chu Yang.
"Oh, this one. First, the copper hot pot uses carbon fire, and the temperature is too high. If it is placed directly on the table, our arms will be very tired when we serve food. Second, its base is very hot. If it is placed on the table, the wood on the table will also be burnt. So, I directly asked someone to dig a hole in the table, put the hot pot in it, and leave only two-thirds on the table. It is more convenient, and besides, this kind of table with holes can also be used for dual purposes, not only for eating hot pot, but also for eating barbecue." Looking at the crowd, Chu Yang explained patiently.
"So that's the case!" Nodding his head, the prince expressed his understanding.
"Sixth brother, how is this barbecue made? Is it also made in the same hot pot?" Looking at Chu Yang, the second prince asked curiously.
"No, there is a special grill pan for grilling meat, and it also uses charcoal fire!"
"Oh!" Nodding, the Second Prince still had a vague understanding.
Not long after, a eunuch brought up dishes one by one and put them on the table.
"This, is this raw?" Seeing that the meat and vegetables on the table were all raw, the Fifth Prince exclaimed.
"Yes, you have to cook it yourself, it's interesting to eat!" Having said that, the monarch smiled lowly.
"Father, are these white and yellow meatballs?" Looking at the small meatballs on the table, the second child asked curiously.
"The white ones are fish balls, made of fish meat. The yellow ones are chicken balls, made of chicken. And this one, have you never eaten this one? This one is called Flammulina velutipes, which is a unique mushroom in Dongzhou. It looks like It's like a needle, very long!" Looking at the dishes on the table, the emperor smiled and introduced them to his sons.
"Father, what are these?" As he said, the youngest pointed to a row of seasonings.
"It's all kinds of sauces. You take a spoon and scoop a spoonful into your own bowl. Don't make too much salt in it, too much salt!"
"Oh!" Nodding, everyone understood.
Seeing that the monarch and queen took a spoonful of each dipping material, the prince and several princes followed suit.
Not long after, the copper hot pot was brought up, and the monarch took the lead and started to put meat into the hot pot. The prince and several princes also followed suit, and they put the meat together, and experienced the joy of cooking and eating by themselves.
"Sixth, I want to eat barbecue tomorrow, so come here early and teach those imperial chefs how to make black pepper beef." Looking at Chu Yang, the monarch said so.
Hearing this, Chu Yang rolled his eyes depressedly. "I'm going to my elder brother's place tomorrow. You can eat barbecue in two days. You are already sixty and you should take good care of your body. You can't eat meat all the time. It's not good for your health!"
Hearing this, the monarch looked depressed. "Stinky boy, you are quite lenient. My health is very good, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Baby, I'm thinking of my father too!" Looking at the monarch, Chu Yang said helplessly.
"Hmph, if you don't piss me off for a day, you won't feel at ease!" She gave the other party a sideways look. The monarch said angrily.
"Tomorrow you can go to the eldest brother's house, and I will make pearl milk tea for you. Take the imperial cook with you, and I will teach them how to make some medicinal dishes to nourish your body." Looking at his father, Chu Yang said so.
Hearing this, the monarch rolled his eyes, "Let's see, I may not be free."
Seeing the monarch's duplicity, Chu Yang smiled lowly. Didn't say much.
"Sixth, I want to eat hamburgers, and I want to eat ice cream!" The queen said softly, holding her son's sleeve.
"No, it's going to be winter, what ice cream should I eat? It hurts my stomach." Shaking his head, Chu Yang directly refused.
"Then, eat a hamburger?" Staring at her son, the queen asked unwillingly.
"Well, I'll make you a vegetarian hamburger!" After thinking for a while, Chu Yang nodded in agreement.
"Hee hee, okay, then I will go to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow morning!" Nodding, the queen said contentedly.
"Okay, old six, I haven't seen you for ten years. Not only have you managed Dongzhou so well, but you've also become good at cooking. You can also cook medicinal food?" Looking at his younger brother, the prince praised him with a smile.
"I'm different from my elder brother. I'm relatively free in Dongzhou. When I have nothing to do on weekdays, I will study and study food. The imperial doctor said that I have a weak body, so he asked me to eat more medicinal food and made me a lot of food." A prescription for medicinal food. There is a nourishing chicken soup that is very suitable for eldest brother, I will go over tomorrow, write down the recipe, and teach the cooks in your house to make this. From now on, eldest brother will drink this chicken drumstick every now and then, it will be good for your health!"
"Oh, then I will thank the sixth brother!" The prince lowered his head and thanked with a smile.
"Brother, you are being polite. This is what a younger brother should do!" Chu Yang said with disapproval while smiling.
"His Royal Highness, my younger brother also wants to visit your house tomorrow!" said the Second Prince with a smile.
"Yes, yes, younger brother, too!" Nodding, the third and fifth princes immediately agreed.
"Okay, the younger brothers can go over at any time!" Nodding, the prince naturally would not refuse.
"You don't have to worry about the food. I can't cook for so many of you by myself. I don't want to exhaust myself. Besides, you are not my father, I will not serve you!" Looking at the few people who were going to join in the fun, Chu Yang said coldly.
"Cough cough cough..." Hearing this, the monarch almost spit out a sip of tea.
Hearing Chu Yang's words, the three people who said they were going to visit felt extremely embarrassed.
"Okay, let the sixth son go to the prince's place tomorrow, and you can go the day after tomorrow!" For his own benefit, the monarch spoke directly.
"Yes, father!" In response, everyone had no choice but to nod.
Looking at his sixth younger brother, the prince smiled and shook his head. Xin said: "If you don't save face, only Lao Liu can say it, even if he is beaten to death, he won't be able to say it."

The next day, the queen went to the prince's mansion early to wait. When Chu Yang rushed over with his family of four, the queen was already waiting.
"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and to the Crown Princess!" Lowering his head, Chu Yang brought his family of four to salute the Queen and the Crown Princess.
"That's all, let's all get up!" Looking at her son's family, the queen said with a smile.
"Thank you, Empress!" Chu Yang thanked in a low voice before getting up.
"The Sixth Brother's family returned to Beijing, but His Highness the Crown Prince was very happy. To be honest, the naughty ghost in the family is coming back!" Looking at Chu Yang, the Crown Princess smiled and said.
"Sister-in-law Huang, this time I came from Dongzhou and brought you and elder brother a lot of Dongzhou's specialties!" After speaking, Chu Yang waved his hand, and the guards immediately carried three big boxes into it.
"Oh, it's good that the sixth brother came back, why did he bring a gift!" Seeing that Chu Yang brought over all the special products of Dongzhou, there were puppets, beef jerky, wine, sorghum wine, and dried fruits, Dried fish and so on, the princess is a little embarrassed.
"It should be. My elder brother loved me and took care of me since I was a child. I should always think about him!" Speaking of this, Chu Yang smiled.
"Yes, His Royal Highness takes good care of my prince, and he is the eldest brother of the prince. We should give some special products. Besides, they are not valuable things. They are some special products from Dongzhou. They are for His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness. Just eat something fresh!" Looking at the princess, Su Wan also hurriedly spoke.
"Sister Wan'er, you are too polite!"
"It should be, this is what we should do as younger brothers and daughters-in-law!" Although Su Wan and the Crown Princess are sisters-in-law, the Crown Princess has a higher status than her, and the Crown Prince is the elder brother respected by his prince. Therefore, Su Wan was naturally very polite to the princess.
"Mother, you and Huang's sister-in-law and Wan'er, you can talk first, I will take someone to the kitchen to make food for you!" As he said, Chu Yang glanced at the few people, and then brought Leng Feng and other guards together left.
After Chu Yang left, only the Queen, the Crown Princess, Su Wan, Wei Xing and Leng Feng were left in the living room.
"Prince Concubine, this concubine will introduce you. This is the concubine and the prince's youngest son, Wei Xing!" Su Wan said, pulling her son over.
"Xing'er pays respects to Aunt Huang!" Wei Xing bowed his head hurriedly.
"No courtesy, no courtesy. I heard that sister Wan'er added a fifth son for the sixth younger brother. I didn't expect that after so many years, Xing'er has grown up so much." Said, the crown princess looked Wei Wei up and down. Xing Yifan found that the child was very handsome, and he also looked like Lao Liu, but he followed the handsomeness of His Majesty and the dignity of the Empress.
"That's right, the last time the concubine returned to Beijing with the prince was ten years ago. At that time, I was just pregnant with Xing'er." Speaking of this, Su Wan smiled.
"Yes, time flies!" Nodding, the queen also felt that time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, her youngest son was thirty-three years old.
"Princess Concubine, this is Leng Fei, my lord's adopted sister, and Princess Huarong who was conferred by my father." Su Wan then introduced Leng Fei.
"Leng Fei pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" Lowering her head, Leng Fei hastily saluted.
"Don't be too polite!" Waving her hand, the Crown Princess signaled Leng Feng to excuse her.
