In the bamboo garden behind Teng Palace, the fragrance of rice and bamboo began to gradually dissipate. Xia Chen and Lu Min did not expect to eat this morning meal here.
Hatas paid attention to the quantity when cooking and cooked quite a lot, including those for Lu Min and Xia Chen who had been following Wen Li.
The two sat side by side and sighed while holding the bamboo tube after finishing their meal.
Although the portion of the meal was not too much, it tasted good and they were quite satisfied with it.
"I didn't expect that I would be able to eat the food cooked by the king in my lifetime. Today is really a day worth remembering." Xia Chen sighed.
"Indeed, I didn't expect the old man to have such skills, and the taste is quite good."
As they spoke, the two looked at the two people sitting together over there. Hatas looked down at the girl eating, and even the wrinkles at the end of her eyes looked so kind and loving.
If according to their speculation, the boss's mother is really Princess Lejia, then Hatas is the boss's grandfather.
"Your Majesty is really like an ordinary old man at this time." Nilen sighed.
In the many years he has been with His Majesty, he has seen His Majesty grow from youth to old age, from a high-spirited young king to the decadent old man he is today.
If the late queen had not passed away too early, the incident involving Princess Lejia would have dealt a heavy blow to His Majesty.
His Majesty will not be like this now, and his spirit will definitely be better.
The pain of losing a loved one can make a person extremely decadent, and it can also destroy the beauty of a person's heart.
Wen Li looked at Hatas. If he could make a man who had been pampered since childhood wash his hands and make soup, he must love his wife very much.
"His Majesty!"
There were hurried shouts in the distance. Several people turned around and saw Lu Zhizhou, who was bringing people to find him.
Lu Zhizhou led people to find him from the end of the road. When he saw the figure appearing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty." He saluted and stood very politely.
Hatas looked at Lu Zhizhou who was in a hurry and suddenly smiled, "Are you here to find Wen Li in such a hurry?"
Lu Zhizhou, who was struck in his mind, was not embarrassed and walked in front of the two of them in two steps.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back and rest. The dinner is about to start. Princess Jiatong asked me to come here to remind you."
There were many people coming and going in the palace today, and even Princess Jiatong was receiving guests.
"The eldest princess asked me to remind you not to forget to take your medicine. You have to attend a dinner party tonight."
Princess Jiatong also asked him to come over because she couldn't get away, and the princess specifically reminded him that His Majesty might be here.
"Wen Li, what are you eating?" Lu Zhizhou looked at the bamboo tube in her hand curiously.
Is this going to turn into a panda? Why does it suddenly start eating bamboo
"Do you want to try one?" Wen Li raised the bamboo tube in his hand forward.
"Okay, okay." Lu Zhizhou said excitedly.
Hatas on the side said without changing his expression, "No more."
Lu Zhizhou's excitement suddenly stopped and he looked at the bamboo tube in Wen Li's hand speechlessly, "Then why not do more?"
He hasn't eaten anything since he participated in the sacrifice. The unique fragrance that he smelled after entering the bamboo forest really made people excited.
"Just tell the kitchen what you want to eat after you go out." Hatas stood up and patted Lu Zhizhou on the shoulder.
"Little girl, do you like it?" Hatas asked finally.
"The taste is very good. Your craftsmanship is no worse than those in the kitchen." Wen Li replied.
After hearing Wen Li's words, the old man's face was full of smiles. He ordered his attendants to clean up the place and led the people out of the bamboo forest.
"Why does Your Majesty like you so much and even cook for you personally?" Lu Zhizhou leaned over and asked.
Wen Li raised his eyebrows, "How did you know this was done by His Majesty?"
"That's what Princess Yingran said when I came over. She didn't seem very happy."
If she didn't have to accompany her mother to receive guests, she wouldn't have stopped coming.
"Are you tired? There's a drama going on in Shiyuan. I'll take you there to see it." Lu Zhizhou followed Wen Li with excitement on his face.
Wen Li, who wasn't too interested in traditional plays, didn't want to go there. Her brain was running at a high speed these days and she needed a good rest.
"It's very beautiful. Let me take you over to see it."
Seeing her lack of interest, Lu Zhizhou followed Wen Li and introduced him without giving up.
"That show has been passed down for hundreds of years and is very rich in culture. Let's go and see it together. It's also very lively with people there." Lu Zhizhou chattered after her.
Seeing Wen Li getting closer and closer to Ming'an Palace, Lu Zhizhou followed Wen Li with his head drooped.
"Aren't you hungry? Why don't you follow me if you haven't gone to find something to eat?" Wen Li glanced at him.
She didn't believe that in such an occasion, Lu Zhizhou, a member of the royal family, would be able to relax and care about nothing.
"I'm not in politics, and my father is not a top dignitary. Not many people will care about me in such an occasion." Lu Zhizhou snorted.
And he has been away for many years, and most people don't know him at all.
Although his father also came from a royal family and was very close to the royal family, his father had never been involved in state affairs in recent years.
He is an idle prince, and no one goes back to fawn over him.
The group of people walked back to the entrance of Ming'an Hall. Looking at the bodyguards guarding the door, Lu Min suddenly jumped up.
"Feiran said that the master would come to the palace!"
But he forgot to tell his wife about this matter. He originally thought that his wife and the head of the family were also connected, so he didn't say much.
After listening to Lu Min's words, Wen Li took out his muted mobile phone and saw several missed calls from the man behind him.
She seemed to have stopped looking at her phone after sending him a photo of bamboo tube rice. She didn't expect that so much time had passed.
"But this is Ming'an Palace. Mr. Fu can't come here, right?" Xia Chen said.
Mr. Fu is a guest, and there is a dedicated person and place to receive him. There is no way he will be in Ming'an Hall.
With doubts, several people entered the Ming'an Hall from the side door.
The teahouse in the side hall is connected to the fish pond outside. You can also see koi carp waving their tails in the water.
There were three men sitting at the low table. Quan Yanling and Fu Yuxiu sat face to face. Between them was Yin Sa, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
The tea brewed in front of the three people was the highest quality black tea, and the aroma of the tea leaves filled the air.
"This is the Ming'an Palace, and it is also where I live. However, I am physically inconvenient and cannot take you two around." Yin Sa said.
Fu Yu held the teacup with his porcelain-white fingers and took a sip of tea, "It doesn't matter, we just need a place to rest."
"This tea is not bad. It comes from country M. I wonder if Marshal Quan is in the habit of drinking it?" Yin Sa said.
Quan Yanling smiled and nodded, "Your Highness is interested."
"Marshal Quan and his men were stationed at the intercontinental border. Did anything weird happen during this time?"
Hearing Yin Sa's question, Quan Yanling smiled and said, "Everything that can happen on the battlefield is bloody and cruel. There is nothing to say."
"That's it."
The few people were chatting, and Yin Sa noticed that Fu Yuxiu looked outside from time to time.
As if looking for something.
Soon, several people came in from the door and caught their attention.
Fu Yuxiu looked at the little girl walking in the middle. She was quite productive these days apart and had not lost weight. "That is my guest. He has been living in the palace for some time."
Yin Sa noticed the direction Fu Yuxiu was looking in and explained.
"This guest of yours is the god of medicine." Quan Yanling said with a half-smile.
Fu Yuxiu was able to agree to Country K's invitation. He knew from the beginning that it must be because Wen Li was here.
Otherwise, this man would not care about these people.
"Do you know the God of Medicine?" Yin Sa asked in surprise.
But he quickly remembered that when he first met Wen Li in Xizhen, she went to the top floor with Quan Yanling's younger brother Quan Yanxi.
In this way, it is not unusual for Quan Yanling to know Wen Li.
"Of course I'm familiar with him." Quan Yanling smiled and looked at Fu Yuxiu with meaning.
He was able to pursue his wife so openly, and he went straight to the palace.
Yin Sa suddenly understood what Quan Yanling meant. Among the two of them, one of them probably liked Wen Li.
"Your Highness Yin Sa, can you please ask the God of Medicine to come over?" Quan Yanling said, "I'm afraid some people have long been disappointed."
After saying this, Fu Yuxiu raised his head and glanced at him, holding the cup with his fingertips and caressing the side of the cup.
There seemed to be a slight smile on the man's lips, like melting ice and snow on the petals of a flower.
"I have to ask the Medicine God for his opinion on this. She is my guest, and I can't force her if she doesn't want to." Yin Sa said honestly.
Yin Sa knew how to entertain guests. He said that he would give Wen Li absolute freedom. She was a guest of Ming'an Palace, not an attendant of Ming'an Palace.
Naturally, she has the right to choose. No matter what, as long as she doesn't want to, no one can force her.
A few people on Wen Li's side had just entered the gate, and the people guarding there took a look.
"Miss Wen Li, are you back?" Wan'an said hello.
"Wan'an, are there guests?" Lu Zhizhou asked.
Wan'an smiled and nodded, "The General Marshal of the Intercontinental Alliance and Mr. Fu from the Dark Palace are inside."
As soon as he heard the next few words, Lu Zhizhou's whole body felt bad. His face, which was bright and sunny just now, turned gloomy all of a sudden.
The man actually came over.
"Are they talking about something?" Wen Li asked.
What she thought was very simple. If they were talking about business, she would have to retreat and not go see him for the time being.
Furthermore, that man sometimes has a rather awkward personality.
He didn't answer the phone just now, so he might be in a bad mood and getting angry with her now.
"Well, His Highness is responsible for receiving Marshal Quan this time, so the few of us have important things to talk about."
Only then did Lu Zhizhou realize that it seemed that Hebrews had originally been scheduled to receive foreign guests, while Ni Chang and several princes received the leaders of the three major organizations.
After the morning sacrificial ceremony, His Majesty temporarily changed the selection.
Yin Sa was also temporarily pushed out and became the receptionist. However, I heard that His Highness completed this task very well, and many people outside were praising Yin Sa's magnanimity.
Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, he held his head high and showed no signs of depression. He had the demeanor of a crown prince.
"I think someone must be here to find you." Lu Zhizhou snorted.
This sounded somewhat unhappy.
Lu Min and Xia Chen chuckled. They were jealous for no reason at all.
"Miss Wen Li." The attendant who came out of the door called and nodded, "His Highness invites you in."
Wan'an was a little confused by these words. Why did His Highness invite Miss Wen Li to come in when receiving such an important person
"It's Marshal Quan who wants to see you. His Highness means that you don't have to worry if you don't want to see you."
After hearing this, Wan'an glanced at Wen Li.
His Highness protected Wen Li within the scope of his authority and respected her opinions even if he did not hesitate to offend others.
What is this for
"Madam, do you want to go?" Lu Min asked.
The person who wants to see the wife must be the boss.
Xia Chen's eyes lit up. Is this going to have a touching reunion? Is there something going on that they shouldn't see happen
"Miss Wen Li?" Wan'an called, "His Highness is letting you in."
Wen Li glanced in the direction of the auxiliary hall, and just as he was about to step in, an attendant's announcement came from the door.
"Prince Pei and Prince Harry are here."
After finishing speaking, people have already entered the hall from the door.
"Dad." Lu Zhizhou called.
Why did his father come to Ming'an Hall? Prince Pei, who never left the door, actually came to Ming'an Hall.
Wen Li turned around and saw the two men walking into the door together.
The gorgeously dressed man on the far left was Harry. She had seen him once a few days ago. The man next to Harry had white hair that reached his ears. It was naturally curly and his white beard looked very distinctive.
Xia Chen was curious. Lu Zhizhou was also a handsome man. Why did his father look like this
"ah!!!"
Before everyone could recover, Harry beside Prince Pei suddenly screamed in horror and pointed his finger in Wen Li's direction.
His eyes widened, as if he had seen a corpse crawling out of a grave.
"Le... Le..." Harry's lips trembled, but he couldn't say the name.
Wen Li did not move, frowning and looking at the person in front of him.
Lu Zhizhou looked back, confused, "His Royal Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Harry was so frightened that he grabbed Prince Pei's sleeve and said tremblingly, "Pei...Brother Pei, I saw Le...Lejia!!!"
That is really Lejia, a living Lejia.
Prince Pei narrowed his eyes slightly. A girl who looked very similar to Princess Lejia lived in Ming'an Palace. This was news he knew in advance.
But I didn't expect that they looked so similar.
Wen Li stopped going to the deputy palace tea room, turned around and took a step forward.
"She...she moved! She moved..."
Unexpectedly, Harry's eyes widened even more when she made such a move, and he fell straight back.
"Your Highness the Prince!" Wan'an and others hurried forward to check the situation.
This man was actually frightened and fainted.
Hearing the noise from the door, Yin Sa turned around. The attendant opened the door and came in, lowering his head and saying.
"Your Highness, Miss Wen Li scared Prince Harry into fainting..."
