In the imperial palace, in the royal study.
An Yi knelt down, and the emperor looked at the two food boxes on the table with interest.
"Is this what the princess asked you to bring into the palace?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. The second prince personally selected many gifts for the princess today and asked his subordinates to deliver them to the princess. Then the princess made these delicacies with her own hands and brought them to the second prince."
Emperor Wu looked at the two food boxes with a smile on his face, "Yan'er can't eat two food boxes by himself."
Haha, the other food box must have been brought to me by my precious daughter. Although she did not acknowledge me, she was still thinking of me in her heart. Such a caring little cotton-padded jacket...
An Yi didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he said honestly, "Princess understands our hard work in protecting the second prince, and said that these meals are for the subordinates and the following brothers."
As soon as he finished speaking, An Yi felt something cold on his back. His training since childhood had made him extremely alert, and he knew that the emperor was angry. He straightened his body, not knowing which words made the emperor angry.
The emperor stared at him with cold eyes, snorted, said nothing, and motioned to Zhang Fu to open the food box.
The first thing to open was the food box for Xiao Yan. As soon as he opened it, a faint fragrance wafted out, making his index fingers twitch. Looking at several plates of delicious snacks, he opened the casserole. The unique aroma of red dates and yam came out, and Zhang Fu swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
"So much, has Yan'er finished eating?" Emperor Wu picked up a piece of chicken cake, looked at it carefully, and then took a bite. Zhang Fu wanted to stop it but it was too late. Hey, forget it, the princess made it with her own hands, even if it is poisonous The emperor will also eat it.
"Well, Yue'er's craftsmanship is very good. It's soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy. Zhang Fu, have you ever seen this kind of food?"
"How can this slave be so blessed? The things Her Royal Highness the Princess makes with her own hands are definitely not ordinary things. I have never even seen them."
Emperor Wu looked arrogant and picked up another piece to eat, "Go and get a pair of chopsticks."
"...Yes." Zhang Fu had a black line on his head, "Your Majesty, these are all made by the princess for the second prince. If the second prince knows about it, he will definitely make trouble with you. If you eat less, you will be knocked down." Why can't you stop eating?
Yami was expressionless, kneeling motionless. Um? Did the emperor touch the second prince's food box? What part of us is left untouched? so far so good······
Zhang Fu ran back in small steps and handed the silver chopsticks to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu immediately picked up another piece of fried milk. His eyes lit up after taking one bite. "What is this made of? It has a bit of milky taste. I have never had this before." Ate."
He picked up another soup dumpling and took one bite. The soup overflowed in his mouth. Emperor Wu was very satisfied...
Soon, most of the contents of Xiao Yan's food box were missing. Zhang Fu's eyes twitched slightly, "Your Majesty, this...this...the second prince..."
The emperor also realized that he had eaten too much, and the bastard noticed that he was struggling again. He raised his eyebrows and motioned to Zhang Fu to open the other food box.
There are more things in this food box, the types are the same, the quantity is large, and there are a lot more meat buns. It seems that it is for those warriors to eat. After eating so much, hum, "Here, take some from here and put them over." .”
"yes."
An Yi:...Fortunately, their food boxes are relatively large, and there should be a lot left. At least I have enough to eat, and others... forget it, if there is another chance next time , bring it to them again...
Zhang Fu quickly packed up Xiao Yan's food box without looking tampered with at all, and handed it to An Yi.
An Yi looked at the food box in his hand, and then at the other one on the desk, but didn't move.
"What, is there anything else?" The emperor didn't even look at him, only a deep voice sounded.
"...It's okay, my subordinates will resign."
An Yi left, and the emperor snorted again. Zhang Fu suppressed a smile beside him, "Your Majesty, these are the rest..."
"Keep it for me, I still want to eat. The imperial kitchen nowadays is getting more and more unsightly. Everything they cook is not as good as Yue'er's."
"······yes."
Jinyang Palace, Xiao Yan’s palace.
"My sister made food for me? Did you make it by yourself?"
"Yes, the princess made it with her own hands." The princess also did my part, but it's a pity that she no longer has it.
"Does my sister like what I sent?" Xiao Yan asked as he opened the food box.
Seeing the food in the food box, Xiao Yan suddenly became interested. He felt like he had never eaten these pastries. Then he opened the small casserole again. The porridge was still hot. He took one bite and then another... ··· Soon the bottom of the bowl of porridge was gone.
The little eunuch next to him was almost in tears watching this. The master was finally willing to eat well.
Because he usually eats less, Xiao Yan was a little full after eating a bowl of porridge, but he still picked up a soup dumpling and ate egg pudding. When he was about to get the chicken cake, the little eunuch next to him became anxious and said, "Master, You can't eat so hard. You usually eat less, and eating too much this time is not good for your stomach. How about we eat later."
Xiao Yan still wanted to eat, but it was too full. He touched his stomach and said, "Then put the rest away, I will have this for lunch."
Then he looked at An Yi again, "Did my sister say anything else?"
"The princess also said that the master is not in good health. From now on, he must go to bed early and get up early, and he cannot sleep so late."
"Well, my sister is right, I must go to bed early today."
Looking at the food box, he said with a smile, "Little Plum, do you have a sister?"
Xiao Lizi is the little eunuch who has been following Xiao Yan. "There are four brothers in the servant's family, and there is only one sister. She was sold by her parents to be a maid in Yuan's family long ago."
"Oh? Then will your sister also cook you such delicious food?"
"...The slave's family is poor, the family doesn't have enough to eat, and several of the children were sold by their parents..."
"Don't be sad, at least you can have enough to eat in the palace."
"Yes, this slave will never go hungry again."
"Anichi, do you have a sister?"
"My subordinate is an orphan."
"Oh, that's such a shame, none of you have a sister. I do."
Dark one:······
Little Plum:······
"Besides, my sister is also very good at cooking. Even the royal chef can't cook the food she cooks. Have you ever seen her?"
"······No no."
"That's right. So, my sister is the best. You didn't know that thing that looked like a stewed egg just now. It melts in your mouth, and the light milky aroma makes your mouth taste delicious."
"And that soup dumpling, the skin is thin but chewy, delicious and juicy. The ones made by the Imperial Kitchen are much worse than this."
"And that cake, so fluffy..."
"That cake..."
In the next few days, the emperor always explicitly and implicitly asked An to go to the general's mansion every day to ask for food. Although Su Yue was strange, she patiently prepared various kinds of food. But what happened to the master of the Secret Guard Pavilion? He always brought him another food box. Why did he insist on eating in the General's Mansion before leaving...
