Little red bean?
Why is she here?
Han Dongwen was surprised and thought about it. He calculated in his mind that it was indeed the day when Xiao Hongdou had recovered and came out to make up for the leave.
It can only be said that it is a coincidence, but it is nothing more than that. He has no intention of exposing himself outside the palace. Besides, it is rare for Xiao Hongdou to take a vacation, so let her rest comfortably.
Han Dongwen thought this and didn't say much. He just asked the waiter to order and waited quietly.
Xiaohongdou and her father were obviously almost finished eating, but they were not in a hurry. They were serving tea and taking away the dishes, obviously wanting to take a break and drink tea while reading the troupe's new book.
Even though the troupe downstairs is the main stage for apprentices, and those who hold the bottom of the box are all in the stage upstairs, they all come down to sing a verse during the last performance.
Many people were just waiting for this part sung by the famous actor, so they just listened to the part sung by the apprentice Xiaojiao, so that these young people could show their faces to some extent.
The time is quite right. After a while, Yanqing House will not take table orders, only tea orders. Otherwise, when the show starts, there will still be people eating and drinking, which won't look like anything.
Therefore, although there are many people at the moment, the food is not served slowly.
The main plate of cold chicken comes with red oil dipping sauce, a steamed sturgeon, a plate of stir-fried ginkgo and thickened ginkgo, and a cucumber and egg drop soup. It focuses on a homely luxury feeling. , not perfunctory, but still fairly close to the people.
"You ordered two of the four seasonal dishes, which are really great."
After testing the poison with Xiu Bu's technique, Li Zai started eating and drinking as usual to reassure Han Dongwen.
He picked up a piece of cold chicken, dipped it lightly in red oil and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he picked up the cup. Just as he was about to bring it to his mouth, he was stunned, looked up at Han Dongwen, and pretended to put it down.
"Drink, you are not drunk."
Han Dongwen picked up the small wine glass in front of him and raised his hand to kowtow to Li Zai: "There's no need to fight when you're off. It's normal to relax a little."
The wine glasses made a crisp sound when they collided. Han Dongwen raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He only felt that the wine was clear and fragrant. The alcohol content was not high, but he could still taste the slight sweetness of the grain and the koji.
He smacked his lips slightly with satisfaction. He didn't like drinking too strong liquor, but if there was a good drink, there was no reason to refuse.
"It is your bounden duty to dedicate yourself to your lord."
Li Zai raised the small cup, covered it slightly with his other hand, and finished the cup.
Han Dongwen laughed, raised his chopsticks and placed them on the table, reached the upper part of the belly of the steamed sturgeon, and cut off a piece of skirt meat, but did not take it away:
"The sturgeon side is the most delicious here. Can you taste the difference between the taste here and the belly of the fish?"
These are things that Han Dongwen saw in the palace. Not only did the dishes come out in the imperial kitchen, but the palace maids on duty also had to memorize the origins, preparations, and how to best taste each dish.
In order to please His Highness, you must at least let His Highness understand that this is something that requires a lot of effort.
Seeing Li Zai's expression showing some difference, Han Dongwen raised the corners of his mouth in a rare way, and smiled with ease between his brows.
Rare indeed.
There were many beauties in the palace, but Han Dongwen did not dare to talk too much with Jiang Keyin and Chi Hanqing.
When chatting with Chi Hanqing, she always remained silent and easily worried about others. For example, when she learned that Han Dongwen woke up from his dormitory with a serious injury, Chi Hanqing always felt a little too concerned. In the end, , but it was Han Dongwen who wanted to convince her that she was fine.
Han Dongwen could see the thoughts hidden in her eyes, but he could only consider helping her when he was able.
Going to chat with Jiang Keyin?
Jiang Keyin in front of him was like a delicate and beautiful porcelain doll. Her charm and softness were mostly due to her skills. Perhaps in her eyes, Han Dongwen was just a puppet who could speak for himself.
When Han Dongwen was full of energy and motivation, he would be happy to have a game with Jiang Keyin. The advantages and disadvantages of big and small matters flowed between the court and the throne, as if they were dancing a wonderful dance.
It's a bit novel to have Jiang Keyin needing to be taken care of by himself like today, but it's rare. When Han Dongwen is no longer so energetic and tired, he just wants to stay as far away from Jiang Keyin as possible.
What about little red bean?
Xiao Hongdou is very good. She always listens to what Han Dongwen says and is gradually willing to talk more, but she still knows and has too little experience.
As long as she believes that what His Highness said is right, she will really do it with all her strength. But most of the time, Han Dongwen himself doesn't know whether his idea is right or wrong, so naturally he can't go with Xiao Hongdou. explain.
She could be his arm, but she couldn't clear away the haze in front of him.
At this time, Han Dongwen truly understood that most women are like this. They can heal men, warm men, and care about men, but they can never give advice to men.
This is not their job, men need to do it themselves.
Women can be a harbor, but they cannot be a lighthouse.
Thinking about it this way, maybe men not only need women, but also occasionally need friends.
Of course Lee Jae is not a friend.
But no matter what, in the original plot, he actually died for Lieutenant Xiubu, who died at the hands of the player because of Hunjun.
From Han Dongwen's own point of view, it was tragic that he had lost his life.
"My lord, your wine."
Li Zai's words brought Han Dongwen out of his thoughts. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his hand was slightly tilted and the wine in the cup was almost spilled.
He smiled and raised his glass again: "What do you think of recent events?"
"What happened recently?"
Li Zai asked with some surprise while holding the cup with both hands.
"Sia, Taka."
Han Dong's words were concise and to the point: "If what I say is true, what will happen next?"
"I personally don't think you have any reason to lie."
Li Zai narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "The situation in the north should not change much. Your Majesty's sword is pointing at the border, and the National Army's chances of winning are not low. And if there is any movement in Taka, I am afraid it will happen in Haizhou first."
"Haizhou?"
Han Dongwen remembered that this was a continent facing the sea in the southeast of Simeng. Taka had many troops and merchants stationed here, and it was not under the jurisdiction of the three divisions.
To use his own words, Haizhou can be said to be Taka's real concession in Simeng.
"What happened to Haizhou?"
"nothing now."
Li Zai shook his head: "But it is said that many Taka troops in other countries have begun to evacuate. There are even rumors that the two princes of Taka are almost going to start a war. The God Emperor has not made any move. Everything shows what the Lord said. It’s not false.”
"Knew it."
Han Dongwen and Li Zai chatted incessantly, and there was no need to worry about being looked at differently.
If two men sit together and talk about state affairs, they will be ridiculed at most. If they add Erguotou and fried peanuts, they can talk about world affairs and wars all day long, and no one will be suspicious.
During the conversation, someone suddenly made a noise from the side. Han Dongwen turned around and saw that it was a young man with oily hair and a pink face. He was yelling in displeasure: "Only tea? How can you only eat in a restaurant like this?" Tea?"
A waiter in front of him rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Sir, we are singing an opera today. When the opera troupe came, the banquet was only until sunset. Now the kitchen has stopped cooking. There is really nothing we can do. How about I serve you some cakes?"
Han Dongwen lost interest all of a sudden. This was obviously a typical little grasshopper, and he had no ability to get angry with the guy here.
If someone like Tantai Ming came, wouldn't there be something he couldn't eat?
The young man grinned and looked around, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "Aren't they still eating?"
He was pointing to Han Dongwen's seat. Han Dongwen frowned. When Li Zai saw it, he sighed and put down his chopsticks.
