Today is really a good day to travel. Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, Lin Yi stretched leisurely.
In order to keep up with the appointment, she specially prepared a gift for Shen Shihua last night. Thinking that the Prime Minister's residence would definitely have enough food and clothing, she made a jelly with her own hands, mixed it with honey-made snow pears, and packed it in black gold lacquerware. The small cup is very delicate and beautiful.
Thinking of Qin Shuihan's praise yesterday, Lin Yi pursed her lips and laughed again.
As long as you put your mind to it, you can make something decent.
"Princess, Miss Shen is at the door."
Biyue walked in, picked up the fox fur coat on the hanger and put it on Lin Yi.
"Biyue, help me get the jelly you made last night."
As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out. It turned out that it was so cold outside, no matter how bright the sun was shining, it couldn't resist the cold weather. However, there was such a thick snow on the ground, so she immediately rolled up her fur coat and got excited. Stepped on it.
"Princess, slow down-"
Like a worried old mother, Biyue hurriedly ran behind Lin Yi.
Lin Yi jumped up to the gate. The distance from Jinghan Pavilion to the gate of Prince Han's Mansion was enough to make her breathe heavily, and her face turned slightly red.
Seeing Shen Shihua's surprised expression, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel amused.
"Lin Yi, don't you clear the snow in Prince Han's Mansion?"
Lin Yi replied with contemptuous eyes: "This is the artistic conception. Come down here and do some exercise before going to the Huifeng Pavilion you mentioned."
She pulled Shen Shihua out of the carriage without any explanation, and the two had a snowball fight at the entrance of the yard.
Mei'er's jaw dropped when she saw it. How could Princess Han be so powerful? Her own lady was no match for her.
She didn't know that this was already the result of Lin Yi's betrayal.
"...Lin Yi...I'm hungry, I can't...run any more..."
Seeing Shen Shihua panting, Lin Yi reluctantly dropped the snowball in her hand.
"Okay, let's get in the carriage and rush to Huifeng Pavilion."
In the carriage, looking at Shen Shihua with a rosy complexion, Lin Yi remembered Qin Shuihan saying that Zuo Haoran also approached Bai Qiran to propose marriage, and couldn't help but torture him.
"When will you and Mr. Zuo get married?"
"Lin Yi!"
Shen Shihua blushed and became shy.
"New Year's Eve...Haoran sent eighteen boxes of betrothal gifts...the wedding day is set at the end of the month..."
"Okay, okay, I'm going to attend your wedding ceremony too."
Lin Yi rubbed her hands excitedly. There was no need for bridesmaids in this era. She wanted to take a closer look at how the ancients got married.
"Why are you so excited! Aren't you still a newlywed?"
Shen Shihua giggled.
She originally planned to visit Lin Yi in the New Year, but Zuo Haoran told her that there were no guests in Prince Han's palace and Prince Han wanted to accompany the princess, so she decisively gave up the idea of dating Lin Yi.
"A lot of things happened when I got married. I can't remember what the wedding was like..."
There was some regret in Lin Yi's eyes. Although she told Qin Shuihan that she didn't care about this ceremony, she still felt angry when she thought of the beautiful wedding being ruined by Qin Huan and Lin Weifu.
Shen Shihua regretted mentioning this matter. She thought of Zuo Haoran's words again and guessed that many unknown things must have happened at their wedding.
"Getting married is just a ceremony. Look how kind King Han is to you. All the rich ladies in the capital are envious of you."
Yes, Qin Shuihan doted on him in every way. He was so virtuous and capable. Lin Yi's face also turned red.
The two of them talked and laughed along the way, and soon they arrived at Huifeng Pavilion.
The waiter saw two ladies in gorgeous clothes and asked respectfully if they had an appointment.
reserve?
Lin Yi looked at the waiter in disbelief. Will he ask for his cell phone number next?
"Zuo Haoran, the second son of Taiwei Zuo."
Shen Shihua pursed her red lips lightly, with a shy smile on her face.
The waiter immediately took them to the private room on the third floor.
Lin Yi also pursed her lips and smiled. It turned out that the flower protector had arranged everything long ago. She saw a crowd of people in the lobby, but unfortunately it was blocked by a straw curtain and could not see clearly what they were eating.
Arriving upstairs, Lin Yi noticed a lot of charcoal placed in the corner and couldn't help but wonder what kind of food it was.
In the private room, there was a hollow table with an iron frame underneath. Lin Yi finally realized, hot pot!
"Lin Yi, this restaurant has just opened. It is said to be the most popular restaurant in the capital. Because it is so popular, you have to come and make a reservation in advance if you want to eat."
"oh--"
Lin Yi nodded in admiration. Sure enough, businessmen in any era are very good at sniffing out business opportunities.
I must give this boss a thumbs up!
"This dish is called hot pot, which is interesting. However, there are many varieties of hot pot, including beauty pot, dragon and phoenix pot, and hundreds of fresh pots——"
Before Shen Shihua finished speaking, the waiter took a bamboo slip and spread it in front of them. On each piece of bamboo, the name of the pot was written and an illustration was drawn.
Lin Yi was amazed, this creativity, full marks!
"Shi Hua, since you've been here before, just choose what you like. I think they're all pretty similar."
"Then the beauty pot!"
Shen Shihua pursed her lips, remembering the mandarin duck pot that Zuo Haoran brought her to eat last time. It was half beauty soup and half tiger bone soup. She felt that the beauty soup had a light taste, which was better than the rich tiger bone soup.
As expected, women attach the most importance to appearance. Lin Yi saw that she did not hesitate to choose the beauty soup, but she wanted to see if what was coming later would really have beauty effects.
The waiter set up a hot pot pot and lit the charcoal. Looking at the white soup base that was served, Lin Yi smiled slightly and was sure that the pot must have been bought from Tianyi Floor. The drawings were drawn by himself, so how could he not be clear about it.
The charcoal burned hotter and hotter, and the soup in the pot gradually began to boil. The waiter sealed half of the vent with an iron plate, and only small bubbles appeared in the gurgling boiling soup.
Finally it’s time to start shabu-shabu.
Shen Shihua introduced the mushrooms, mushrooms, agarwood, and wormwood one by one. These are her favorites.
Lin Yi looked over and saw that they were all fungi. In her eyes, they were just germinated spores, and there was no difference in essence.
She picked up a piece of mushroom and looked helpless. Although she didn't know the price of these fungi in ancient times, she also understood that this was not something ordinary people could eat.
"Shi Hua, do you like to eat these?"
"Well, it tastes silky, fresh and crispy. Try it quickly."
Shen Shihua happily ate the fungus from the bowl, not noticing the helplessness in Lin Yi's tone.
Lin Yi smiled. She rinsed a few slices of cabbage and wanted to get some fiber.
However, this beauty soup was passable. Lin Yi tasted the taste of chicken and pork, as well as hairy tripe and large pieces of pig tail, which were full of collagen.
This boss is really smart and willing to cut corners. No wonder his business is so prosperous.
The two chatted while eating.
"By the way, what's going on between you and King Huan?"
Shen Shihua thought of the rumors in the teahouse and couldn't help but ask Lin Yi.
"King Huan?"
Lin Yi felt baffled. Could it be that Shen Shihua heard about the wedding day?
"Yes, there are rumors that Lin Xuan'er and King Huan fought in your father's mourning hall because King Huan couldn't forget you."
Shen Shihua did not tell her the most unpleasant words. She knew that Lin Yi was not that kind of person and would not seduce others.
Lin Yi frowned. She didn't know there was such a rumor and felt that she was really wronged.
"I don't know... Anyway, even if all the men are dead, I won't fall in love with him!"
Hahaha--
There was a burst of hearty laughter from outside the door.
This voice is so familiar, I hear it before anyone laughs.
"Fifth sister-in-law, how can sixth brother compare with fifth brother? We won't mention him."
Qin Yi opened the door and naturally avoided Qin Huan's topic. He knew that Fifth Brother would not be happy when he heard it.
Lin Yi looked up at the door. Behind Qin Yi stood Qin Shuihan and Zuo Haoran. Just as he was about to ask them how they came, he suddenly remembered that Zuo Haoran had booked the elegant room. How could he not know they were here.
Zuo Haoran naturally walked to Shen Shihua and sat down.
Qin Shuihan walked to Lin Yi without hesitation and frowned when he saw the cabbage in her bowl.
"Why don't you just eat some vegetables and more meat? Your body is too thin."
This is a restaurant, a public place, you don’t say that to yourself!
Lin Yi snorted in dissatisfaction, looked around at the people around her, and quickly blushed. Such a show of affection!
Qin Yi and Zuo Haoran didn't seem surprised at all. They knew how much Qin Shuihan treasured Lin Yi.
Shen Shihua, on the other hand, looked at her teasingly with his eyes raised.
"Look, King Han pampers you more than you eat more."
Lin Yi twisted Qin Shuihan, it was all his fault. In order to change the subject, she immediately asked: "Have you all eaten? Ask the waiter to put it on the bottom of the pot and eat some together?"
Zuo Haoran smiled and said: "Princess Han, we have all had our meals. We are here to see if you are used to the food here. It is said that this is called hot pot and it is very popular in the capital."
Lin Yi turned to meet Qin Shuihan's gaze. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They had already taken their share of the hot pot. How could they not know how popular this was?
Qin Shuihan looked at her lovingly, as if his eyes were saying that the princess he married was amazing.
Lin Yi blinked and raised her chin slightly, feeling well deserved. She smiled happily and said: "This hot pot is delicious. Mr. Zuo, please bring more Shi Hua here. She likes beauty soup. Look at her, she is so thin. When the time comes to get married, you have to make her fat."
"Lin Yi!"
Shen Shihua let out a sweet sigh.
Before he finished speaking, Zuo Haoran immediately picked up a spoon, beat a piece of meat and put it into Shen Shihua's bowl.
"Princess Han has spoken, you should eat more."
Qin Yi sighed slightly.
"You don't show affection like this, and you don't even consider my feelings."
Among the people present, he was alone and seemed very lonely.
Lin Yi felt a little sorry for King Yi. He followed Qin Shuihan every day and refused to let him get a wife.
"Shi Hua, can you see if you can find a young lady from that family and bring it to King Yi?"
Qin Shuihan took Lin Yi's tea cup and took a sip of tea.
"Ignore him. My father keeps trying to make arrangements for him. It's because he doesn't want to have a concubine."
Why don’t I want to? It’s obvious that I don’t have anyone I like!
Qin Yi grabbed the teapot on the table and drank directly.
"I'm not afraid of burning my mouth either."
Qin Shuihan asked the waiter to serve a pot of tea, and they continued to talk and laugh in Huifeng Pavilion.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a commotion downstairs. The sounds seemed to be getting louder and louder, and the footsteps were getting heavier and heavier.
Qin Shuihan instinctively stood up and stood next to Lin Yi, while Zuo Haoran also held Shen Shihua's hand tightly.
The men present looked at each other, and Qin Yi walked to the door and became alert.
The noise became clearer and clearer, and they finally heard the shouts outside.
"Someone is not moving..."
"Help!"
Lin Yi frowned, what would happen in the restaurant?
"Let's go take a look."
