Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

Everyone present looked at the two of them, and only Shen Li and He Xinyi roughly guessed what he was going to say.

"it is good."

Pei Yu took Shen Li's cloak and tied it on her, "Don't talk too long, it's cold outside."

"Yeah, I know, don't worry."

The two went outside and found a place to shelter from the wind.

"King Yan, please speak up if you have anything to say."

Xie Yunci hesitated for a while, but still chose to speak out, "Princess, what is the misunderstanding between you and Jiaojiao?"

"There is no misunderstanding," Shen Li looked at Xie Yunche with a smile on her face that did not reach her eyes.

"It's just a grudge."

Xie Yunche didn’t quite understand. They were all family, so how could there be any hatred between them?

"Just say what you want to say today, Prince Yan. Don't beat around the bush."

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight. Jiaojiao doesn't seem happy staying in my house, so I thought, since you're all family, maybe she prefers staying with you."

Shen Li showed a sarcastic smile on her face, "Then your Highness may be overthinking it. Go ask her. She will definitely not come back to my house."

"why?"

"Didn't I tell you? We have a grudge for this very reason."

Shen Li straightened her cloak and said, "As for what the grudge is, Your Majesty, do you want to know?"

"think."

"It's not a deep hatred, it's just that I almost died at her hands."

Hearing him say this calmly, Xie Yunche was a little stunned. Was this such a deep hatred?

Just imagine, if he was in the same situation, he would not forgive that person and might even take crazy revenge on him. So he couldn't say anything to ask Princess Hui'an to forgive Shen Jiaojiao.

"I'm sorry, Princess Hui'an, I was reckless today."

Shen Li shook her head and looked at him, "Your Highness Prince Yan, do you have anything else to ask?"

Xie Yunche shook his head.

"Since there is nothing left, let's go back. It's windy outside."

Before the two of them returned to the side hall, they smelled an overbearing fragrance from afar. Shen Li sniffed it carefully and found it was the smell of hot pot base, and it was very authentic.

"Princess Hui'an and Prince Yan are back, and they are waiting for you two."

There are three stoves in the hall, with a lot of vegetables placed next to them. There is a double-pot on each stove, with clear soup and red soup floating on top. The fragrance you smell outside comes from here.

“Want to eat hot pot today?”

"The Emperor's sister-in-law's hot pot is delicious. I haven't had it for a long time."

Xie Yunche changed his dazed state outside and ran happily to his own pot.

Xie Yunci looked at him, "How long has it been? Didn't you just eat it a few days ago?"

Xie Yunche replied without even turning his head: "Brother, isn't that because you haven't eaten enough?"

He rubbed his hands together and said, "I'm going to eat enough today!"

Shen Li walked over to Pei Yu and sat down. There was already a plate of dipping sauce in front of her. "I made it for you. Try it. If you don't like it, I'll make it for you again."

"it is good."

There was a rich variety of dishes on the table, including beef, lamb, fish, pork, etc., all sliced ​​into thin slices, as well as pork chops and lamb chops.

There are also a lot of vegetables, which are very precious in Beijing at this time of year.

But the Shen family had no shortage of vegetables, because they had cleared out a yard in the general's mansion to heat the kang, and used it specifically to grow vegetables for their own consumption, and also to share them with a few friendly families.

Xie Yunci was worthy of being the emperor. He could retract his aura at will. At this moment, he did not have any imperial qualities at all. He just looked like a distinguished nobleman.

He was also chatting with Xie Yunche and Pei Yu next to him, and from time to time he would bring along the three female relatives present. The atmosphere in the side hall was very harmonious.

When they were almost done eating, Xie Yunche asked, "Brother, why did you agree to eat the hot pot in the side hall today? I begged you for a long time before, but you said you didn't agree, didn't you?"

Xie Yunci glanced at him and said, "Tell me, where else do you want to eat?"

Xie Yunche laughed, "No, not anywhere, isn't this just something I said casually?"

Bai Shuyi covered her mouth and laughed secretly. Of course, it was her credit that they could eat here.

Looking at Shen Li who was not far away, he asked, "Princess Hui'an, do you like today's hot pot?"

Shen Li was wiping the stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. Upon hearing this, she put down the handkerchief with a satisfied smile on her face.

"This hot pot from the Imperial Concubine is very authentic. I haven't had it in a long time."

Hearing her say this, Bai Shuyi raised his brows slightly, and he became visibly happy.

"Right, I went through a lot of trouble to get the recipe for this hot pot base from a master chef, and it finally paid off."

"Your Highness is really determined."

Bai Shuyi smiled and shook his head, "I may not be sure about other aspects, but when it comes to eating, I can't deny that I am really determined."

He Xinyi interrupted at the right time, "Your Highness, this is called specialization. The delicacies in your palace are famous in the capital."

Bai Shuyi held a handkerchief in her hand, covering her lips, and laughed, "I feel a little embarrassed by what Princess Yan said."

Xie Yunci poured a cup of digestive tea and handed it to her, "What Princess Yan said is true, Yiyi, don't be embarrassed."

"Drink it. This is the digestive tea I asked the imperial physician to make for you."

Bai Shuyi smiled at him, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xie Yunci looked at the others again, "You have it too. If you eat too much, drink a little. Don't let your stomach get stuffed. Especially you, Xie Yunche."

Xie Yunche hurriedly brought over a cup of tea and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, big brother."

Shen Li also picked up the teacup in her hand and took two sips. It tasted sour and sweet, very suitable for girls to drink.

The hot pot had a strong smell, so after the meal everyone dispersed to change clothes. Shen Li and Pei Yu did not change clothes in the palace, but went out of the palace directly in the sedan chair.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back to Jingnan Palace, Pei Yu asked, "A-Li, why did the King of Yan want to see you just now?"

"He asked me what the grudge between me and Shen Jiaojiao was, saying that she was not happy in Prince Yan's Mansion, and asked if she could go back to the Shen family?"

"King Yan still has too few things to do every day. He needs to be kept busy."

Shen Li looked at him and asked, "Ah Yu, aren't you curious about the grudge between Shen Jiaojiao and me?"

Pei Yu shook his head. "I'm not curious. A-Li's enemies are my enemies. Seeing that she is not doing well, I am actually very happy."

Shen Li's lips curled up slightly. That's why it is said that having someone provide you with emotional value is the happiest thing!

Before Pei Yu could ask what the grudge was, she said, "Ah Yu, there is a life between Shen Jiaojiao and me, so we are destined to never reconcile."
