Fu Tingye rarely returned to the General's Mansion once, just to welcome the little emperor in person.
As a result, after waiting for most of the day, no one was seen!
Butler Zhao asked the chef to prepare a table full of fine wine and delicacies, and it was almost going rancid!
He sent someone to the front to ask what was going on, but the gatekeepers looked at each other and said: I didn't see the little emperor, but someone came to the house to ask for directions and where Miss Hua lived, and then left.
When Fu Tingye heard this, his face turned dark, he got up and walked out!
"Hey... General, General!" Zhao Sheng hurriedly caught up, "This meal..."
Fu Tingye said irritably: "You have to figure it out yourself!"
After a while, the figure disappeared at the door.
…
Fu Tingye went to Hua Qingxue's house. As soon as he stepped in, he heard the sound of two people playing from the direction of the kitchen -
"Slow down, stir slowly...it's about to spill out!"
Li Jingnan was holding a large basin with eggs and sugar in his hand, and was stirring it rapidly with his other hand.
"What's next? What then?"
Hua Qingxue put the butter in a small bowl, put it in a pot over water and heated it until it melted into a bright yellow color, then added it to the egg liquid.
"Is this what makes it more fragrant? Then add more! More, more!" Li Jingnan shouted.
"No! The traveling merchant bought this from the herdsmen in the north. It's very rare. That's all I ordered... Okay, go ahead and stir, I'm going to add flour to it!"
"Come on, come on, come on, come on..."
Hua Qingxue reached out and scooped up some flour and black sesame seeds, then added the egg liquid together, and told Li Jingnan to keep stirring until it became a thick batter.
Place the pan on the stove, place a large spoonful of batter in the middle of the pan, turn the pan with your hand, and slowly turn the batter into a pancake. Reheat the heat and slowly heat over low heat.
Hua Qingxue stared with wide eyes. When the edge of the egg roll was a little brown and could be separated from the bottom of the pot, she immediately urged him: "Turn it over and heat it to the other side."
After both sides were fried, she helped Li Jingnan pour the egg cake on the chopping board, quickly rolled it into an egg roll shape with chopsticks, rolled it until it was fixed for a while, and then it was set when it cooled slightly.
The two of us, one big and one small, worked closely together to make omelets, one, two, three...
Time passed bit by bit, no one spoke in the kitchen, there was only the sound of egg rolls being fried.
When all the egg rolls were ready, Li Jingnan raised his head relaxedly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a proud smile on his face, "It's very simple!"
When Hua Qingxue saw that his face was covered with flour, she immediately laughed! "Hahahaha!... Look at your face! Hahahahaha!"
Li Jingnan was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and wiped it on, and the result was even more flour on his face!
Hua Qingxue laughed so hard that her stomach ached and tears overflowed, "Stop moving, I'll get you a towel!"
She turned around and went out, only to find that besides Xiaodouzi, there was also a tall man at the door of the kitchen! I was immediately shocked!
"General?! Why didn't you make a sound?!" Hua Qingxue saw the person clearly and patted her chest in fright, "Scared me."
Li Jingnan also turned around when he heard this, and when he saw Fu Tingye, his eyes widened in surprise, "General Fu?!"
Fu Tingye looked at the woman and then the little boy speechlessly. He felt that this woman did not look like a woman, and the emperor did not look like an emperor. How could it be appropriate for two people to huddle in the kitchen making crispy egg rolls without doing their business? !
"Weichen has been here for half an hour." He said expressionlessly.
Hua Qingxue smiled, "The general is here just in time, come and try our newly made egg rolls."
Xiaodouzi at the door silently turned his head to the other side.
Li Jingnan raised his head proudly, with an expression on his face that the emperor's favor was so great that he didn't need to be grateful for it.
Fu Tingye remained sullen and motionless, with a less obvious look of disgust in his eyes.
Hua Qingxue was afraid that the two of them would get into trouble, so she came to Fu Tingye with a crispy egg roll and whispered: "General, try it, this is made by the emperor himself, it contains the dragon spirit of the real dragon emperor, it has the dragon spirit... "
Dragon energy
The little bastard is still pretty milky - Fu Tingye cursed in his heart.
"I specially added butter. The last bit of butter was put in. Smell it, it's very fragrant." Hua Qingxue was a little disappointed when she saw that Fu Tingye was unmoved.
Fu Tingye couldn't bear to see her showing such an expression. He reached out with a straight face and took an egg roll and put it in his mouth.
"Yeah, it tastes good."
Hua Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, picked up one and ate it, and brought it back to Li Jingnan with a smile, "You should try it too, the egg rolls just out of the pan are the most delicious."
"Well, not bad!" Li Jingnan chewed, waving to Xiaodouzi at the door, "Xiaodouzi, come here and soak up my dragon energy."
Xiaodouzi came over with a shy face and a stiff expression, "I don't dare..."
Li Jingnan slapped him on the back of the head, "Eat as long as I tell you! Why are you talking so much nonsense?! They all say that freshly baked egg rolls are the best, but they won't taste good after a while!"
Xiaodouzi's eyes were filled with tears, and he was speechless and choked, "Thank you... Your Majesty for your gift."
Fu Tingye watched the little emperor slap his hands so skillfully and frowned inaudibly. He just thought that Li Jingnan had stayed among the people for too long and had picked up the little tricks of street gangsters.
He said in a deep voice: "The emperor suddenly left the capital, and people in the court were panicked. I wonder how long the emperor's private visit in disguise will take, and when will he leave to return to the capital?"
"Why are you so anxious?" Li Jingnan frowned impatiently, "Who doesn't know that I am just a nominal emperor. I just look good in that position. Prime Minister Zuo and the emperor's uncle share the worries of the government affairs. It is not my turn to worry about it, ha... Even if... It’s just me who wants to worry about it. I probably won’t be able to say more than three sentences before I’ll be crushed to death by those people’s refuting memorials.”
Fu Tingye looked indifferent, "The emperor is young and there will always be things he does not consider carefully. When his wings are full in the future, he will naturally fly high, and the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China will also become the emperor's best right-hand man."
"I know, I know." Li Jingnan had no intention of listening to the advice, "I will leave after staying here for a few days, General Fu, don't worry too much!"
Fu Tingye's expression changed immediately!
"The emperor wants to live here?"
"Yes." Li Jingnan didn't understand why Fu Tingye had such a big reaction.
"A residence has been prepared for the Emperor in the General's Mansion."
"Oh..." Li Jingnan glanced at Xiaodouzi, "It just so happens that there aren't too many people living here. Xiaodouzi, the General's Mansion has prepared a place to live. You can go and live here."
Fu Tingye's face was already livid!
Xiaodouzi stared in fear, "Your Majesty, is this... is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate?" Li Jingnan said confidently, "There's only one bed here, there's no room for it!"
Fu Tingye looked at Hua Qingxue in shock!
Is it possible that you two have to sleep together at night? !
Hua Qingxue said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants to remember the bitterness and sweetness. We used to share a bed in Renqiu City."
"No!" Fu Tingye rejected it with a dark face!
Li Jingnan had a more violent temper than him, "Be bold!"
Hua Qingxue: "???"
-What's going on? !
She was confused when she was pulled out of the kitchen by Fu Tingye.
"You can't sleep together!" He said firmly, even a little angry! "He is the emperor! There is a difference between you men and women!"
Hua Qingxue chuckled, "General! He is only eight or nine years old..."
"Men and women have different beds when they are three years old! Different seats when they are five years old! Let alone eight years old?!" Fu Tingye shouted harshly!
Hua Qingxue was stunned by his yelling and looked at him timidly.
She really didn't know that ancient times were so particular...
Fu Tingye regretted it after yelling.
When he saw Hua Qingxue's expression as if she was frightened by him, he felt very upset, but the matter of squeezing into bed with Li Jingnan! No matter what, he couldn't agree!
Fu Tingye tried his best to keep his expression gentle and his tone gentle, "The emperor insists on staying with you, and I'm afraid he won't be able to refuse, but you are different from each other and must not sleep in the same bed to avoid being known in the future. Use it as a basis to criticize you."
Hua Qingxue was speechless for a while.
This man has never been nice to talk to. There is no difference between superiority and inferiority... Isn't this clearly calling her a low-status person? He deserves to be single until now!
At this time, Li Jingnan chased him out of the kitchen. He was afraid that Fu Tingye would embarrass Hua Qingxue, so he said rather unhappily: "General Fu is too worried. This time I was originally on a private visit incognito to check the public sentiment. It's just right to live here. You can experience the life of the people in Panshui City by the way."
Fu Tingye looked unkind and showed no respect at all, but his words were meticulous, "Wei Chen is just worried that Miss Hua will unintentionally offend Long Yan and anger the emperor."
Hua Qingxue was in a dilemma. She didn't want to disappoint Li Jingnan, nor did she want to make Fu Tingye angry. "How about... I go to the street now and buy another bed?"
"Need not!"
"Need not!"
The two said in unison.
Hua Qingxue: "..."
…
Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Sheng led four servants to carry out a large huanghuali wood-carved bed from the general's mansion and staggered into the courtyard gate of Hua Qingxue's house.
At night, Li Jingnan lay on this gorgeous bed, feeling very emotional and said to Hua Qingxue on the other side of the screen, "My father is right."
"ah?"
"Any heroic general must have some quirks or a moody temperament."
Hua Qingxue nodded in agreement, "His temper is really weird, he loses his temper at every turn."
"Well, he is a general, so he is inevitably a little arrogant. I won't argue with him." Li Jingnan said that he was very generous.
Hua Qingxue laughed happily, "The Emperor is broad-minded and is a blessing to the people of Qi."
Li Jingnan liked to hear her praise herself most, curling her lips and smiling proudly, "That's because those people outside only know that I am young, but they don't think about how experienced I am. I have watched my father become the emperor since I was a child. Big one, wouldn’t it be possible for you to be influenced by what you hear and see?”
Hua Qingxue was amused by him and echoed: "Yes, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and mice's sons can make holes!"
Li Jingnan's mouth twitched, "Although I know you are praising me, it sounds so strange..."
"Hahahahahaha!..."
…
Fu Tingye began to have a deep sense of crisis.
He found that his sense of existence plummeted after Li Jingnan's visit to Panshui City!
He wanted to see Hua Qingxue, but she was teaching Li Jingnan how to make handmade soap. The two of them were having fun in the room, talking about making some limited edition handmade soap!
He waited for a few days and thought about Hua Qingxue again, but she was drawing strange drawings with Li Jingnan in the room, and Ji Ji Gu Gu didn't know what she was planning.
He looked at his increasingly dense beard and thought it was a good reason. He wanted to find Hua Qingxue to trim his beard, and he quickly ran back to Panshui from Qingzhou Camp in excitement, but—
Hua Qingxue and the emperor are not at home? !
