The prince's personal bodyguard

Everyone paid their respects to the emperor, and the emperor was a little surprised to see Dugu Feng and Wei Wuji were also here.

"Oh? Were the Xiongnu King and General Wei also attracted by the smell of the barbecue?" The emperor pretended to be puzzled.

"Yes, yes, we were passing by and came here because we smelled the fragrance. I also bought the Ninth Princess's secret recipe for barbecue." Dugu Feng lied without blushing or beating his heart.

"What about General Wei? Did he also buy the secret recipe?" The emperor asked honestly.

"I just arrived and have only smelled the aroma of meat but have not tasted it yet." Wei Wuji thought to himself, the Ninth Princess is trying to drive me away.

"Then come with me and taste it." The emperor was not polite.

Bai Xinyin had the seats rearranged. When the servants saw this, who would dare to sit there to eat? They had already cleaned up the place and put new dishes on the table.

This time the emperor sat at the top. He took the steaming lamb skewers from Eunuch Gao's hand and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tasted spicy and fragrant.

"It tastes really good! Can you teach my chef?"

"We spent 12,000 taels of silver to buy that secret recipe!" Princess Jialan still felt a little painful.

The emperor was slightly surprised and thought: My daughter's secret recipe is not cheap, so she should just come here to eat for free. He no longer mentioned the matter of teaching her barbecue experience.

The emperor turned to look at Wei Wuji and said, "General Wei, you have never tasted such delicious food. Come and try it."

After expressing his gratitude, Wei Wuji sat down and took a skewer of lamb to taste.

"It's really delicious. I have been in Wei State for many years and have never eaten such special food." Wei Wuji said while eating.

"Does your Wei Kingdom also need this secret recipe?" The emperor would actually attract business for Bai Xinyin.

"This... I don't understand, but I should give it a try." Wei Wuji did not refuse.

Bai Xinyin secretly gave the emperor a thumbs up - gold medal sales.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Xinyin signed another contract with Wei Wuji, and Princess Jia Lan rushed to copy the recipe.

Wei Wuji looked at it and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Is this writing? It's not much better than a crab crawling. He had no choice but to ask his followers to copy another one.

Earning 20,000 taels of silver for a meal is not bad. Zhao Qing looked at Bai Xinyin with admiration.

"I'll call you sister from now on. Can you teach me how to make money?" Zhao Qing said. Everyone can make money. According to the age here, Bai Xinyin should take care of Zhao Qing.

"Well, okay then." Bai Xinyin agreed readily.

"Don't talk nonsense. You are the emperor's elder sister and she is the younger sister. How can you change them at will?" The emperor gently scolded Zhao Qing, but he did not look angry.

Zhao Qing curled his lips and made a fuss out of nothing.

The originally carefree atmosphere became restrained because of the emperor's arrival. Fengjiu, who originally wanted to eat twenty skewers of barbecue, only ate ten.

Bai Xinyin didn't care about that. After eating, she felt like playing a piece of guqin called "Three Variations on Plum Blossoms".

The melodious piano music sounded, like weeping and complaining, as if telling a touching story. Everyone present was intoxicated by it, and their moods fluctuated with the piano music.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the past.

Dugu Feng stared at Bai Xinyin, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his eyes.

Mu Yunxiao looked at Bai Xinyin the whole time, as if she was the only one in the world.

After the song, the lingering sound lingered in the air and everyone applauded.

"Good song!" the emperor praised, "It has the style of your mother in her youth."

Speaking of that woman again, Bai Xinyin was really curious about her.

The night breeze brought coolness and also blew into the palace.

In Kunning Palace, the queen sat on the main seat with two secret guards kneeling below her.

"You said the emperor went to her place!" the queen said gritting her teeth.

"Yes." said Secret Guard A.

"The ghost is still haunting them. These mother and daughter are really lucky! Now they appear in the court again. The emperor has restored her status and even granted her a house. It's really infuriating! We must find a way to make her disappear as soon as possible." The queen's face was gloomy, as if water could drip from it.

"You guys should step back first!"

The two secret guards turned around and were about to leave. At this time, Secret Guard A nudged Secret Guard B, Secret Guard B nudged Secret Guard A, and Secret Guard A came back and was about to say something but stopped.

"What else?" The queen was suspicious.

Secret Guard A seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Reporting to the Queen, the secret guards of Prince Rong's Mansion have sent a message that if we touch Bai Xinyin's people again, we will first report to the Queen that the Crown Prince and the King's Uncle had colluded to embezzle disaster relief funds a few years ago."

"Mu Yuanxiao! How dare you go against me!" The Queen was so angry that she grabbed the cup on the table and threw it at the secret guard A. With a "bang", the cup hit the secret guard's forehead. Blood mixed with tea flowed down his forehead. The secret guard A immediately looked embarrassed.

Secret Guard B thought: If I tell this, I will pay with blood.

"Go, make an appointment with Dugu Feng for me. Meet in the secret room outside the palace in half an hour!"

The two men took the order and left.

In the fairyland, on the Jiuyou Mountain, there is a mysterious and solemn palace, situated between the cloud-shrouded sky - the Su Nu Palace.

The outer wall of the Su Nu Palace is made of a crystal-clear material that emits a soft glow. The roof of the palace is conical and covered with gorgeous tiles, gleaming with gold and silver. Wind chimes are hung on the eaves, swaying gently in the breeze, making crisp and pleasant sounds.

When you enter the palace, the first thing that comes into view is a huge garden. The garden is full of various exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance is overflowing. The colors of the flowers are bright and gorgeous, with red, blue, purple, yellow... forming a colorful picture. In the center of the garden, there is a clear spring with clear water. It is surrounded by stone railings, which are engraved with exquisite patterns.

In the center of the hall stands a huge throne, which is engraved with exquisite patterns. On the walls of the Su Nu Palace hang many precious paintings, each depicting a story.

Deep inside the Su Nu Palace, there is a secret room, which is Su Nu's bedroom. The floor of the secret room is covered with a soft mattress, which is covered with gorgeous bedding. On the wall hangs a portrait of Su Nu, who has a peerless and mysterious face.

At this time, Su Nu was sitting in front of the bed, and the palace maid Xiao Tao was helping her take off the hairpins, rings, jewels and other jewelry on her head.

"Your Majesty, Xing'er sent a message saying that someone from Kyoto has come to pick her up to discuss the young palace master's engagement. They are on their way." As Ah Bing spoke, his hands moved as lightly as possible to avoid hurting their master.

"Oh, I see." Su Nu held a golden jade phoenix hairpin in her hand, stroked it gently, and then sighed again, "Alas, the calamity that is destined by fate cannot be avoided after all."

The two were speechless, one was silently untying her hair while the other was thinking about his own things.

"Oh, by the way, tell Xing'er that it has been sixteen years, and it is time to tell the emperor the truth about what happened. After taking care of her for so many years on my behalf, it is time for her to come back."
