Duan Mingchong trembled and said, "You... what did you say?"
Suiyan was about to cry, and said casually: "I, I, I didn't say anything, I just... incense! Yes, I seem to be addicted to incense... I don't know what I'm talking about!"
Sui Yan was so cowardly that he almost found a crack in the door to put his head in and clamp it.
The two stared at each other for a long time at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Duan Ming Chongcai buzzed like a mosquito: "I borrowed your clothes yesterday, and they have already been cleaned when I came back. You... do you still want it?"
That's all I have to say!
Sui Yan was almost moved to tears: "I want it!"
Duan Mingchong raised his head and looked at him, and the two quickly looked away, the atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
Duan Mingchong coughed dryly: "Then... go?"
Sui Yan: "Let's go."
Then go.
The two were speechless all the way, and halfway through, they met Concubine Ning Gui who was wearing a dark green brocade shirt.
Three years later, Concubine Ning Gui has aged a lot. Although she wears heavy makeup to cover up her haggard look, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has lost her arrogant and domineering aura.
Sui Yan was scolding himself all the way. Wouldn't it be okay to eat some tofu to take advantage of it
The more he thought about it, the more stupid he felt, and he was scolding himself secretly, but Duan Mingchong next to him reached out his hand to stop him.
Sui Yan shuddered, thinking that she couldn't control her swear words again, she raised her head in fear, and met Concubine Ning's face that "wants to kill you".
Sui Yan was stunned for a moment, and then cleared away the depressed mood just now. She felt that Concubine Ning was really timely, and it was more heartbreaking than the timely rain. She rolled up her sleeves and planned to get down.
He saluted with Duan Mingchong: "I have seen Concubine Ning."
Concubine Ning Gui almost glared at him fiercely. She shook off the palace servant who was holding her hand, walked a few steps to Sui Yan's side, and said coldly, "You are really lucky."
Sui Yan sighed in his heart, thinking that this woman is really stupid, to say such a thing in front of the prince, 80% is mad.
I don't know what the emperor liked about her. Could it be that as long as she has a beautiful appearance, she can bewitch a man
Thinking of this, he suddenly changed his mind.
"Then logically speaking, I'm better-looking than her, why did I make it clear to Duan Mingchong, but he didn't show it at all?"
While Sui Yan was thinking wildly, he didn't forget his business. He was about to retort, but Duan Mingchong, who was beside him, laughed lightly.
He said slowly and softly: "The Marquis is naturally blessed and has a long life. I just don't know if Brother Wu Huang has this life to survive this year. It would be better for Ning Niangniang to care more about him."
Concubine Ning: "You..."
Her eyes were almost red with anger, and her fingers were shaking violently.
After Duan Mingchong finished saying those words in a gentle manner, he nodded slightly: "Don't bother Ning Niangniang to see the Fifth Emperor, Ming Chong retire."
Said, grabbed Sui Yan's hand, and walked away.
It was the first time that Sui Yan saw the gentle prince's mouth as gentle as the spring breeze and the rain, but he did not lose his kung fu, but with a fluttering word, Concubine Ning was turned back, looking at the beautiful face that seemed to be drawn, he was going to be mad. .
The two walked silently all the way to the palace gate of the East Palace. Only then did Duan Mingchong let go of Sui Yan's hand and exhorted, "You don't need to say more when you see her in the future, just leave."
Sui Yan blinked at him, but didn't come back to his senses for a while.
Duan Mingchong said: "Ayan? Did you listen?"
Sui Yan murmured, "I didn't hear it."
Duan Mingchong: "…"
Sui Yan reacted immediately and coughed dryly: "I'm sorry, what did Your Highness say?"
Duan Mingchong shook his head helplessly and did not repeat.
He took Sui Yan into the East Palace, took out the cleaned clothes, and said, "Here, it's not dirty."
Sui Yan has some cleanliness, but he is often only hypocritical in his own house. As usual, he lost everything, but Duan Mingchong handed it to him, and he even wanted to sleep with his clothes in his arms. Let alone throw it away.
Sui Yan took it and held it for the attendant behind him. He was thinking of a reason to stay in the East Palace for a while when Duan Mingchong suddenly said, "I heard that there seems to be a new cook in the small kitchen of the East Palace, who is skilled in making sweets. Very impressive, why don't Ayan wait here for lunch before leaving?"
Sui Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded desperately.
He found that today was really lucky. When he wanted to sleep, someone sent a pillow. When he went back, he would go back to the Yue Lao Temple to worship, so that he could fulfill his long-cherished wish as soon as possible.
Sui Yan was very familiar with the East Palace, and he couldn't help but feel happy when he was with Duan Mingchong. The two spent the morning in the study, one reading and the other drawing.
At noon, the servants came to the study to report that lunch was ready.
Sui Yan dragged Duan Ming Chong to dinner.
I made a few dishes for lunch, and they didn't look like delicacies from mountains and seas, but rather like ordinary dishes in the market. It was quite novel to eat.
After the two finished their meal, they sat in the front hall and opened the door to enjoy snow and tea.
After the digestion, the palace servant came over with a few jade plates.
Sui Yan was leaning on Duan Mingchong's shoulder to sleep. He sniffed the smell and sat up abruptly. Before opening his eyes, he murmured, "Sweet."
Duan Mingchong asked people to put the jade plate on the small table aside, and lifted the cover to prevent the heat from dissipating, revealing a few extremely delicate steamed buns.
Banhualou's steamed buns are often kneaded with sugar, and wrapped in the middle of fruit candy hearts made from peach nectar, and then kneaded into a pleasing shape, which is very unique and lovely to sell - anyway, Suiyan is not from Banhualou. He didn't eat steamed buns, which made people in the capital always say that he lingered in the flowers, adding a lot of notoriety.
The secret recipe of Wanhualou steamed buns is not known, and the cook is very arrogant, and he can't dig it away, which causes Suiyan to think of taking the cook back to the house several times.
Sui Yan just glanced at it, his eyes widened, and he shook Duan Mingchong's hand: "Your Highness, the new cook you said can make steamed buns?!"
Duan Mingchong took one for him with chopsticks: "Try it?"
Sui Yan sang a song with his hands in the state of trying it out. He took the first bite, and his eyes were full of stars.
The taste of this steamed bun is no different from that of Wanhualou.
Sui Yan didn't have time to speak, so he picked up a few styles he liked and ate a few, but he couldn't eat any more.
He looked at the steamed buns that had not yet been eaten, leaned over to Duan Mingchong, and said pitifully, "Your Highness, can I take it with me?"
Duan Mingchong coughed dryly and said, "If you want to eat, you can come to the East Palace at any time, and I will let someone cook it for you."
Sui Yan stepped forward and hugged Duan Mingchong's neck, rubbed against him, and said happily, "Okay, fine, I will come to your Highness every day in the future!"
Duan Ming Chong smiled and said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, can you guarantee that you can get up every day?"
Suiyan said: "I'll try my best - Your Highness, to be honest, what the cook in your palace made looks like the one in Wanhualou. It's so similar, I doubt if they came from the same clan."
Duan Mingchong turned his head unnaturally and said vaguely, "Probably."
Sui Yan said: "But the styles are different. The animals in the Banhualou are all very pitiful and lovely animals. Sometimes people can't bear to look at them. The decorations in His Royal Highness's palace are full of patterns, and there is nothing unbearable to eat. ."
Duan Mingchong: "Yes... right."
Sui Yan babbled a lot before finally letting go of the topic of steamed buns.
Duan Mingchong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He stayed until the afternoon, and when he left the front, Ming Chong asked people to make two baskets of steamed buns for him to take away. The box also used iron blocks to hold charcoal fire to keep warm.
Sui Yan let the attendant carry it, and left with a bright face.
After he left the palace, he did not go back to the mansion, but went to the Jiang mansion first.
Gan Enhe was watching the snowman being built by the servant in the courtyard, and he was quite absent-minded. Hearing that Sui Yan had arrived, he asked someone to come in.
Sui Yan asked someone to bring in a food box, looked at Gan Enhe's obviously wilted look, and said "hey", "Don't be discouraged, what did I bring you?"
He opened the lid of the box, revealing the steaming East Palace steamed buns.
Gan Enhe glanced at it, looked away uncharacteristically, and said, "I have no appetite."
Sui Yan said, "Don't eat?"
Gannhe: "Don't eat."
Sui Yan: "Really?"
Gannhe: "Really."
Sui Yan took one and stuffed it into his mouth: "Okay."
He was probably still growing, and after a few steps out of the palace, he was hungry again, and he ate on his own without asking Jiang Enhe.
Gan Enhe bowed his head in frustration for a long time, and then secretly raised his head and glanced at Sui Yan who was eating Zhenghuan.
Sui Yan said vaguely, "What's wrong?"
Gannhe whispered, "Will you not ask me again?"
Sui Yan: "…"
After a while, Sui Yan and Jiang Enhe sat facing each other, feasting on the steamed buns.
Gan Enhe didn't know whether he was burned or wronged, tears welling up in his eyes, and he said vaguely: "...you think she's going too far? Is it wrong for me to turn around and leave? I'm so sincere to her, she just... It's so hot, so hot!"
Suiyan said, "She's only sixteen years old. She seems to know something. When you were sixteen, didn't you still quarrel with me for a long time because of a puppy?"
He probably ate hot sweets and now he is warm and sweet, and his mood is much better. He even thought about Sui Yan's words and said, "It seems to be right."
Seeing that Sui Yan made sense, he mercifully gave the last steamed bun to Jiang Enhe, saying, "So, don't be so hypocritical, a big man, don't be a coward next time you encounter this kind of situation, too. Don't run away, just talk to her, what's the point of turning your head and running away with tears in your eyes? You're not ashamed of yourself?"
Gan Enhe was soft-mouthed after eating someone else's steamed buns, and rarely did not refute, he nodded vaguely: "This steamed bun is burnt to death, where did you bring it?"
Sui Yan said, "I brought it from the East Palace. Look at the hot charcoal in the food box."
Gan Enhe almost choked to death and couldn't believe it: "East Palace? I thought it was from Banhualou?"
Suiyan: "No, it's the new chef who has come to the small kitchen of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His craftsmanship is very good. I'll bring you other delicious food next time."
Gan Enhe swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns, thought for a while, and said, "I think something is wrong."
Sui Yan: "What?"
Jiang Enhe said, "I'm not in a good mood when I come back today. I originally wanted to go to Wanhualou to eat steamed buns and listen to the ditty, but only then did I realize that the cook who made the steamed buns in Wanhualou did not know what a big crime he had committed. , It is said that he was taken into custody by the government."
Sui Yan's hand trembled.
"what?"
Jiang Enhe thought about it again, and said, "Yes, I remember it, it seems that there is a certain law in Wanhualou that did not obey the law and committed a serious crime, but somehow, the cook was taken away. Tsk, It's really strange, Wanhualou has done something wrong, what's the point of not arresting the boss and the cook, so that I can't even eat steamed buns now."
Sui Yan: "…"
The author has something to say: Prince: If the boss has committed a crime, he should arrest the cook. This should be a well-known common sense.
