Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

Emperor Qingfeng asked Crown Prince Xiahou Sheng to gather information, and Xiahou Sheng simply hit it off with Teng Shenyi and acted out a scene.

When Xiahou Sheng left Ding'an Marquis Mansion, he spoke to the guards with a proud face.

"Then Teng Shenyi has also suffered the same fate today. He has been against me all the time, hahahaha..."

Afterwards, rumors that Teng Shenyi had lost all his internal strength after being seriously injured spread rapidly among officials of all ranks in the capital. Some were happy while others felt regretful, lamenting that such a young and talented man like Teng Shenyi had disappeared into the world.

After Emperor Qingfeng received the report from Crown Prince Xiahou Sheng, he asked the crown prince to leave with a sad look on his face.

After leaving the imperial study, Xiahou Sheng went straight to his own East Palace. He didn't spat until he entered his own bedroom and closed the door.

"Shameless old thing..."

"Keep your voice down, there are his people outside." The Crown Princess took Xiahou Sheng's coat and glared at him.

Xiahou Sheng immediately said "oh" obediently.

After the Crown Princess hung up her coat, she picked up the teapot beside her, poured a cup of tea, and motioned for Xiahou Sheng to sit down.

"How's General Teng doing?"

"He is doing fine, busy cooking for his sweetheart."

The Crown Princess's expression changed when she heard this, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xiahou Sheng was stunned by the laughter: "What's wrong?"

"Given General Teng's cooking skills, if his sweetheart really eats it, it only means that his sweetheart also has him in her heart."

"..."

They all grew up together and knew each other very well. Xiahou Sheng slowly raised a thumbs up to agree with the Crown Princess' words.

The Crown Princess took a sip of tea and asked: "What did His Majesty say to you?"

"What can he say to me?" Xiahou Sheng stroked the teacup with his fingertips and sneered: "He is just thinking about how to destroy me before he dies."

The Crown Princess sighed upon hearing this: "How did it get to this point?"

Emperor Qingfeng had few children, only nine in total, including three princes and six princesses.

Apart from the princess who was burned to death along with the favorite concubine Concubine Mu in the fire thirteen years ago, there were only six adult children in the palace, and only Xiahou Sheng and Xiahou Shen had the right of inheritance.

Over the years, Emperor Qingfeng had long been dissatisfied with Crown Prince Xiahou Sheng due to the powerful influence of the Queen's maternal family, and his intention to depose the crown prince became increasingly obvious.

Until Emperor Qingfeng recently imprisoned the Queen's brother on charges of corruption, his intentions had become obvious.

Emperor Qingfeng was already old, and in his later years he was greedy for elixirs. Although he looked strong on the outside, he was already empty on the inside. It was estimated that he would soon die.

But before he died, he would definitely find a way to depose Crown Prince Xiahou Sheng in order to cut off the power of his external relatives.

"You old fool, my mother never thought of letting foreign relatives interfere in government affairs. My uncle has been working for the country for more than 20 years, but in his later years he was sent to prison on trumped-up charges."

Xiahou Sheng clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table. Seeing this, the Crown Princess raised her hand to cover the back of his hand and said, "Look at it in a positive way. This time he asked you to meet Teng Shenyi, which means he didn't know that Teng Shenyi was on your side."

"When the time is not right, you need to stay out of the spotlight."

Xiahou Sheng held the hand and thought of something: "Oh, by the way, my spy suddenly received a letter the other day, and the letter mentioned Concubine Mu and the Fifth Princess."

The Crown Princess: "Who sent it?"

Xiahou Sheng shook his head: "I didn't find out... The letter only said that when the time comes, it's time to meet."

The letter paper was spread out on the table. The ink had already dried, emitting a faint scent of ink.

Pei Yu put the brush in his fingertips aside, then stood up and walked towards the door that was knocked.

After pushing open the door, I saw the young man in red standing in front of the door with food in his hands and a smile on his face.

Seeing Pei Yu push open the door, Teng Shenyi raised his hand and shook the things in his hand, saying: "Are you hungry? I made some snacks, you can try them and see if they are delicious."

"I didn't expect the general to have such skills." Pei Yu's eyes were filled with surprise.

This surprise pleased Teng Shenyi very much. He walked past Pei Yu with the food in his hand and came to the table. After taking out the things one by one and arranging them, Teng Shenyi pushed the plate of pastries with his hand.

"Try it, it's fresh out of the pot and still hot."

The crystal clear pastry that looks like a peach blossom is placed in the middle of the plate, and the edges of the petals have a light pink color, which looks both beautiful and delicious.

Pei Yu picked up a piece with his fingertips and put it in his mouth and took a bite.

Pei Yu: "..."

really.

No matter what, it plays a styling role.

Teng Shenyi asked excitedly: "Is it delicious? Is it delicious?"

He stared at Pei Yu with sparkling eyes. If he had a tail behind him, it would probably be wagging happily.

"General, your cooking skills are good." Pei Yu smiled and pushed the small plate in front of Teng Shenyi with his knuckles, saying, "General, try it too."

"I knew that this general could defeat two enemies at once... cough cough cough!"

A chokingly sweet taste immediately filled his mouth, as if all the sugar in the Ding'an Marquis Mansion was put into it, and the first bite made Teng Shenyi's tongue numb.

Teng Shenyi picked up the teacup and took a big sip. The terrible taste in his mouth dissipated a little. Teng Shenyi was stunned: "You lied to me?"

"I don't."

Teng Shenyi gritted his teeth and said, "This thing doesn't taste good at all."

Pei Yu said in a gentle voice: "Kong Ji said that the general's cooking skills are good, but he didn't mention the taste."

Teng Shenyi: "..." Is this also okay?

He stared at the handsome face of the Buddhist disciple, and always felt that there was a hint of deliberate evil in it.

Teng Shenyi raised his hand to take back the plate of pastries, but was held down by a hand as delicate as jade.

"what?"

"The general made this cake for Kong Ji, how can he take it back?"

I don’t know if it was Teng Shenyi’s illusion, but he seemed to hear a sense of grievance in Pei Yu’s words.

Teng Shenyi: "This doesn't taste good. Wait for me to go back and practice and then make it for you."

"The general has worked hard for a long time to prepare this cake. In Kong Ji's opinion, this thoughtfulness is better than the cake itself."

Teng Shenyi's face flushed: "You know? Well, I'm really not very good at this kind of cooking... I saw that it looked pretty today, so I thought of saving the first bite for you, but I didn't expect... it would only look pretty."

Pei Yu: "General, are you thinking of saving the first bite for me?"

"Yes," Teng Shenyi said eagerly, then scratched his cheek: "But I didn't expect it to be so unpalatable... Maybe I'm just not very good at this kind of thing."

And he might just stay like this no matter how much he practices.

It turns out that not everyone can max out the cooking skill.

"General, do you want to be with Kong Ji?"

Teng Shenyi was lost in thought when his brain froze for a moment, then he asked in surprise: "What?"

"Kongji thinks that the general should accompany Kongji to make a more delicious pastry, what do you think?"

The Buddha's eyes and eyebrows are particularly clear and eye-catching in the midday sun.

Teng Shenyi's heart skipped a beat and he nodded solemnly.

It turned out that this was the feeling that Xiahou Sheng had always boasted about when he was helping his wife.

Really, it’s pretty good.
