"woman?"
Li Huaiyun snorted and said with a little regret, "This guy is in love with a woman. That woman's family is in business. You know the businessman! For the gift, he can only work hard and do other jobs part-time!"
"So, women! It will only affect the speed of our men's cultivation!"
"Hmph! It only puts the blame on women! Isn't it the woman's problem if we don't improve?"
"That's not true, but I understand!"
"Do you understand?" Mu Yuan asked confused, "Didn't you try to persuade me?"
"I've tried to persuade him, but if he doesn't listen, there's nothing he can do!" Li Huaiyun spread his hands, "He actually did this for his own safety."
Mu Yuan understood what he meant, "So that's it. The reason why he wanted to come to Qianji Pavilion is because it's too dangerous to handle a case with you!"
When Li Huaiyun heard this, he felt a little helpless, "You're right! You have handled a case with me before, and you also know how dangerous it is! On the one hand, I hope he will follow me. If the case is handled well, so will It's very promising, but on the other hand, I don't hope that he will follow me on adventures. The few escapes from death already illustrate the problem. As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet!"
"Yes!" Mu Yuan expressed his understanding, "That guy is quite lucky to have you as a brother."
"That's right! You have experienced many dangers, are you not afraid at all?"
"Afraid!" Li Huaiyun responded truthfully, "If my ambition is to live a stable life, then it doesn't have to be like this, but I just want it to be different. Finding the monster that killed my parents is just one of them."
"Listening to your words, it seems that you have a higher goal!"
"I hope that one day I can drive those monsters out of Da Zhou!"
"Too naive. It's not something you or I can decide. However, I can decide what your friend thinks."
When Li Huaiyun heard this, he asked, "Mu Yuan, are you agreeing?"
"That's right. However, if he enters the Qianji Pavilion and becomes a demon refining master and makes no progress for a long time, I will not keep him."
"I will definitely encourage him!" Li Huaiyun cupped his fists and thanked him, "I hope Mu Yuan will take care of him more in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled.
Mu Yuan laughed lightly. She lifted the curtain, raised her head, and glanced at the blue sky. "It's about noon now, why don't we go have lunch first!"
"I wish I could have it!"
Li Huaiyun thought to himself that the place where he went to eat with the princess must be at the imperial dining room level. This was not something ordinary people could afford.
He was a little excited, he could also taste the delicacies that ordinary people call divine food.
"Okay then! Let's go to the imperial dining room to have something to eat first!"
"Go to the imperial dining room?" Li Huaiyun was a little strange. Shouldn't he prepare the dishes and go to the princess's palace?
Mu Yuan explained, "Now that lunch has been finished, we can only go there to see if there are any leftovers!"
Li Huaiyun frowned and felt a little puzzled. After all, he was a distinguished guest in the princess's palace, so why did he deserve to eat the leftovers? He was disappointed.
Mu Yuan saw his appearance and guessed this, "There are plenty of opportunities for you to try the craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen."
"Really?" Li Huaiyun looked away from his depressed look, "Why don't we go directly to the imperial dining room without letting you know?"
"Of course, but there is a place to eat there,"
"Ah!" Li Huaiyun expressed confusion, "There is a place for you princes and princesses to eat with your father!"
"Yes! This is normal. Sometimes the Hunjun is dissatisfied with us and will let us eat alone in the imperial dining room."
Mu Yuan continued, "But I am different. I have been eating there since my mother left. That Hunjun sometimes shows up where we eat, pretending to care about us!"
"Pretend?" Li Huaiyun was puzzled, "How do you say this?"
"Every time I come here, I look upright and solemn. It seems like I care, but in fact I just want to show my majesty!"
This woman has a very deep prejudice against her father! However, you can't blame her, she was still young at the time, and she heard her father say in her dream that the princess was dead!
With so many women in the harem, it would be strange if Mu Yuan didn't feel jealous!
Mu Yuan and Li Huaiyun took a carriage to the imperial dining room. When people inside saw Mu Yuan, they would salute directly.
They walked into the imperial dining room, and the smell of food hit their faces, which was refreshing!
In the imperial dining room, next to the outer hall, there are two long tables placed against the wall. There are messy dinner plates on them. Some plates only have some oil and bones left on them, and other leftovers are cold. Zhi.
"This place is the place Mu Yuan mentioned that you sometimes eat with your brothers and sisters?"
Mu Yuan nodded, "You wait here for a while, I'll go to the inner hall to find someone to clean it up, and then I'll ask them to cook a few dishes, and you can eat whatever you want!"
"Okay!" Li Huaiyun could only accept this opinion happily and look forward to the next time!
He sat down and looked at the plates placed on it with a look of disgust. After dinner, the table looked like a garbage dump. No one had taken care of it. It looked quite dirty.
Li Huaiyun moved the plates and bowls and chopsticks in front of him slightly to the side to make some space.
"There's no need to clean up. There will be servants coming here soon!" Mu Yuan turned around and said, "Wait, I'll go to the inner hall right now."
"Okay! Let them move faster!" Li Huaiyun touched his belly and leaned against the table, looking forward to it. Although this was not a state banquet, as the chef of the imperial dining room, the food must taste delicious. very good.
He watched Mu Yuan enter the inner hall, stretched, and then looked around. The area inside the imperial dining room was relatively large. On the opposite side was the place where the ingredients were processed. After processing, he directly Transported to the inner hall for cooking.
At this moment, an old man in his fifties or sixties walked in from outside the imperial dining room. His clothes looked a bit plain, and he had a piece of coarse cloth in his hand!
Li Huaiyun saw it and immediately waved forward. He shouted loudly, "Hey! Old man, here!" Someone finally came and took care of the dishes on the table.
The old man's face was obviously stunned, then he frowned, put his hands on his hands, and walked up, "Who are you and why did you call me?"
Li Huaiyun stood next to the old man, "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that our meals will be here soon. Please clean up this place for me first."
When the old man heard what Li Huaiyun said, his face was a little sulky, and he was about to speak angrily, "Do you know who I am?"
Li Huaiyun directly grabbed the other person's arm and revealed the bath towel he mentioned before, "Oh! If it's not just to clean the table, stop talking nonsense!".
He pointed to the table in front of him, "Just clean it up a little here!" He saw that this person seemed to be quite unwilling, so he said, "I didn't teach you to do this, it's the Fourteenth Princess. !”
The old man heard this and smiled, "Do you know the Fourteenth Princess?"
"More than just acquaintance, we are very familiar with each other, and we are also partners in investigating the case together."
The old man nodded immediately, "Oh! I understand, it's you who are here to investigate the princess' case."
ah! Li Huaiyun thought about becoming famous, but he never thought that a dishwasher in the imperial dining room would actually know about it. He murmured in his heart, thinking that the discovery of the body in the palace had already spread to the entire team.
"Even you know it!" He looked at the old man, "It seems that the matter has spread throughout the palace!"
"Of course, everyone knows that a body was found in the tree in the palace! People from Dali Temple are already investigating there."
"Master, since you are here to investigate, have you found anything?"
"You old man is really nosy, but since you have found a place for us, I will tell you some truth. You must not tell anyone!"
The old man wiped the tablecloth with a coarse cloth, "Okay, okay! I will keep my mouth shut."
"This case is actually very simple. It's about the things in the harem. Someone was jealous and used some means to kill the princess. The later case involves more, so we won't just talk about it briefly!"
Li Huaiyun clapped his hands, "Okay! You can rest easy, remember not to talk nonsense! That will lead to beheading."
"I know!"
Li Huaiyun straightened his body, put his hands on his legs, and looked towards the inner hall, "This is the situation. Hurry up and insert the table, the princess will be here soon!"
The old man immediately lowered his head and roughly cleaned up the things around him.
Li Huaiyun looked at the dishes and chopsticks that had been cleared away! What he didn't expect was that there were actually several plates of partially eaten food, which made him sigh.
"These people are so wasteful! They only ate a little and then stopped eating it. They left it here and had to deal with it in other ways! If this was given to the poor, they could feed them several times!"
The old man cleaning the table stopped what he was doing and asked, "Waste is inevitable! What you said is too ideal!"
"Is there any ideal or not ideal? Is it difficult to ask these people in the palace to save money?"
Saying this, the old man suddenly stopped cleaning the table and sat next to Li Huaiyun with a smile on his face. "Young man, after listening to your words, do you think you have any special insights?" "
Li Huaiyun glanced at the understanding old man next to him. Why didn't this old man clean the table properly? Why did he take care of these things?
"Sorry for making you laugh, I was just saying it casually."
"Anyway, the Fourteenth Princess hasn't come yet, but I'd really like to hear her opinion. It should be a great gain!"
I really didn't expect that this old man was also interested in mobile phones. Seeing how interested he was, Li Huaiyun immediately asked, "Old man, why don't you clean the table first? Otherwise, if the people above see that you are not serious about your work, they may deduct your wages." ,"
"That doesn't matter! Anyway, I'm old enough to understand!"
Li Huaiyun was very surprised by the old man's mentality. He didn't expect that there were people with such a mentality in the palace. "Old man, you are also in the palace, what do you think of Da Zhou?"
"It's pretty good. The country is peaceful and the people are safe."
"Haha!" Li Huaiyun showed a faint smile, "You know how to be sarcastic! Can Dazhou now call the country peaceful and peaceful?"
"Why not?"
