After the salted fish is married

28. Spring Hunting

Yan Ziyue's name is Yan Lingyuan, and the name Ziyue was bestowed on him by the current emperor.The Yan family is a big family, and Yan Lingyuan entered the palace when he was enlightened and became the prince's companion.He was young and intelligent, and the emperor liked him very much, and even gave him the word: Ziyue.

Of course, Yan Ziyue did not disappoint the emperor's gift, and now he is already a popular candidate for the next champion.In addition, he is the prince's companion, so he is usually very popular, even if the courtiers see him, they will give him a little bit of disrespect.

Yan Ziyue quickly walked in front of Yan Xining, this was the first time Yan Xining saw his cheap brother.The literati of Chu and Liao regarded elegance as their beauty, and Yan Ziyue, as a representative figure, naturally brought these two characters to the extreme.

Although they are brothers, Yan Ziyue and Yan Xining have no similarities in appearance, and their temperaments are also quite different.In the memory of the original owner, this eldest brother never gave him a face like those servants of the Yan family who were bullied and trampled on. Sometimes he would stand up for him when he saw the original owner being bullied.

But such a good brother, for the sake of his own future, he pushed Yan Xining to block the knife without hesitation.His kindness to the original owner turned into poisonous honey, which blocked the original owner's mouth.

Yan Xining stood upright, he wanted to see what his cheap brother had to say to him.When he didn't forget to observe Ji Song's reaction, Bai Yueguang was standing in front of him, Ji Song had to show some truth, right?

It's just that Ji Song's expression was quite strange. After seeing Yan Ziyue, the smile on his lips completely disappeared.

Yan Ziyue stood up straight after saluting the princes, he said sincerely, "A-Ning..."

Yan Ziyue only shouted two words, and then Ji Song said coolly: "Although you are Aning's elder brother, Aning is already Princess Rong. Yan Lingyuan, you are overstepping."

As soon as the voice fell, not only did Yan Zi become more stupid, but everyone present was startled.

Yan Xining's eyes widened even more, why did Ji Song not make Yan Zi lose face as soon as he came up?The young couple got into an awkward situation and pulled him to do what?Anyway, they are teammates in the united front now, he just wanted to watch the fun, how could Ji Song drag him into trouble?

Ji Song ignored Yan Xining's stare, he looked at Yan Ziyue expressionlessly, his eyes became colder and colder.

Yan Xining couldn't understand, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed in his mind - Ji Song became hate because of love.

Human nature is complicated. Some people think that what they can’t get is a good thing, so they cherish it; while some people will hate what they can’t get, and others can’t get what they can’t get.

Thinking of the rumors about Ji Song from the outside world, Yan Xining secretly wiped a cold sweat.Fortunately, I knew the current affairs and didn't offend this master, and I can still live a good life now.It seems that we have to stay away from Ji Song in the future, so as not to make himself ashamed when he is in a bad mood.

Yan Ziyue's face turned red and white.Seeing that the situation was not good, Ji Nan quickly smoothed things over: "Ziyue, although the concubine is your younger brother, she is now a member of the royal family. It is really inappropriate for you to call him by his baby name. Rong Chuan, this is the first time that Ziyue misses his relatives. If you do, forgive him."

The more Yan Zi knew the current affairs, he knelt down: "Yan Zi, a grassroots man, kowtowed to the prince and princess." It was the first time that he was reprimanded in public until he couldn't get off the stage.

Only then did Ji Song nod his head in satisfaction: "Get up. It's just this one time."

Yan Ziyue staggered when he got up, but if Ji Nan didn't help him, he would have fallen.

Yan Xining scratched his cheek in puzzlement, he didn't look stupid as a big brother, why did Ji Song say something like this?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: I'm afraid his cheap brother is also interested in Ji Song, right?Otherwise, can you be hit like this?

Hey, this kind of drama where I love you and you don't love me, and when you love me, I don't love you anymore... It's really touching no matter how many times I watch it!

Yan Zi was getting more and more disgraced, and now he could no longer be that brilliant and talented scholar.Ji Liang was very happy to see this scene, so he spread his fan and fanned it: "Didn't the third brother say you for my brother, you are beautiful, and you can't be so indifferent to my uncle! Anyway, our Ziyue also drank wine with you. Yan Huan, you have to look at the Buddha's face even if you don't look at the monk's face!"

Yan Ziyue couldn't hold back his face at all. If there was a crack in the ground, he would definitely get in.

The show is almost finished, and it's the turn of the people who eat melons to play.Yan Xining put on a gentle smile: "Why is brother looking for me?"

Yan Ziyue's tone became much more respectful when he spoke again: "Since the princess entered the palace, she hasn't been home yet. The elders in the family miss you very much. Father also came to the spring hunting this time. I don't know the princess..."

Speaking of which, Yan Ziyue suddenly sensed something was wrong, Yan Xining was no longer the illegitimate child of the Yan family, he was now Ji Song's concubine.Although it is hopeless for Ji Song to win the heir, his prestige in the army is extremely high, and he will not be less powerful than the Yan family in the future as an idle king.

It would be fine if Ji Song didn't support Yan Xining, but he just warned him.If he uses his elder brother and elder status to suppress Yan Xining again, Ji Song may not be the first to spare the Yan family.

The friendship between him and Ji Song was not that deep, and the Yan family had already offended Ji Song by doing things unethically.It was already impossible for Yan Xining to take the initiative to see his father. Now the situation has been reversed. If he wants to see Princess Rong, he has to submit a post according to the etiquette. Maybe it is up to Yan Xining to decide!

Yan Xining smiled slightly, and he directly paraphrased what Ji Song had just said for him: "Father came to the paddock, and sons should visit his old man out of love and reason. It's just that the prince's health has not recovered, and he can't leave anyone by his side. In this way, When the prince is in better health, can I go find my father and elder brother?"

What else could Yan Ziyue say, he could only nod repeatedly.At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Ji Song didn't make trouble, otherwise he would lose all his face here.

There were still a lot of things to do when they first arrived at the camp. The princess first found a reason and left with a group of people. Of course, they did not forget to take Yan Ziyue with them when they left.

After the crown prince left, Ji Ling had a half-smile and said, "Everyone said you were in trouble, but Brother Wei thinks you are a blessing in disguise." He stretched out his folding fan and lightly tapped Ji Song's chest: "Kindly take my sister-in-law Come and sit at my brother's house."

Ji Song nodded slightly: "Okay."

Watching the figures of the two giant Buddhas leave, Ji Song said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the tent."

After the words fell, Ji Song didn't wait for the expected response.He turned his head in surprise, only to see Yan Xining staring at the direction of the mountains for a long time.Ji Song couldn't see his expression, only his lonely figure.

Yan Xining seems to be sad, is it because seeing her elder brother thinking about her situation makes her sad?Or are you sad because you have lost Yan Ziyue's face?

Ji Song felt that he had to explain the key to Yan Xining. He said softly, "The Tian family has no father and son, let alone brotherhood. Now that I can't stand on my legs, I have changed from an opponent to a helper to them."

In order to win his help, Ji Nan and Ji Mu couldn't wait to win him over.How ironic, back then when his legs were intact, there had never been such a scene of brothers and friends respecting each other during the spring hunting.

Ji Song said earnestly: "My relationship with Yan Ziyue is not what you think. Yan Ziyue is following the crown prince, and I never thought of winning over him. I just didn't want him to take advantage of you."

After all, it was rumored that he liked Yan Xining, and the closer Yan Zi got to the prince, the more likely he would use this relationship to win him over.And he...don't want to stand in line yet.

Yan Xining hummed perfunctorily.

Ji Song pursed his lips and his eyes dimmed, his voice was a little cold: "What are you looking at?" What are you thinking?He had already explained it to this point, what dissatisfaction did Yan Xining have?

Suddenly Ji Song thought of a possibility: it was rumored outside that Yan Xining was a person who pushed the high and trampled the low.Now that he sees his two older brothers who are more advantageous, will he find a way to get in touch with them and then...leave Prince Rong's mansion?

Thinking of this possibility, Ji Song felt a little unhappy.

At this time, Yan Xining turned his head with bright eyes, and pointed in the direction of the hill: "Songsong, look at the hill over there, is there a toon tree?"

Ji Song:? ? ?

Toon tree?what is that?

Looking in the direction of Yan Xining's finger, Ji Song only saw a small piece of sprouting trees.There are some fiery red shoots growing on the bare branches. Is this the Chinese toon tree?

Yan Xining said firmly: "I immediately fell in love with that Chinese toon tree. Have you seen the red shoots on it? Let's pick the Chinese toon head later, shall we?"

Ji Song: ...

He explained for a long time, did Yan Xining just go looking at the wild vegetables?

Yan Xining misses it very much: "I really like to eat fried toon fish. When I go to pick the toon buds later, can I dig a small tree and go back? I want to plant it in the Plum Garden. Every spring in the future, I can eat toon!"

Ji Song narrowed his eyes depressed, the unhappiness in his heart dissipated, but he didn't want to talk to Yan Xining for now.

The palaces of the princes are located in the southeast of the basin. Although the tents where the princes are staying can be seen at a glance, it is quite far away when they really walk.In addition, there are guards on duty around the tent, Yan Xining is not worried at all that the conversation between him and Ji Song will be overheard by others.

Besides, it was impossible for him to talk to Ji Song about important matters of the family and the country.What's more, Ji Song seemed to be angry after entering the tent. Don't ask him how he could see his emotions from Ji Song's expressionless face. This is his keen intuition.

At this time, he wanted to minimize his sense of existence. Yan Xining found a small corner in the tent, and opened his backpack.Ji Song didn't bring so many maids and servants with him when he went out like other princes, he was already hungry after busy work.

Fortunately, he brought enough snacks and refreshments. For example, now, he fumbled in his backpack and found a lotus leaf bag.After opening the lotus leaf bag, square pieces of sauce-red spiced dried tofu appeared in front of him. He grabbed a piece and chewed it, satisfying his hunger and paying homage to the Wu Zang Temple.

Ji Song was still sulking when he suddenly smelled spices.Looking at Yan Xining again, he saw that he was chewing something while his back was facing her.

Ji Song... was even angrier.Yan Xining would take the initiative to give herself any delicious food before, but she didn't care about her own feelings when she arrived at the hunting ground?

29. Spring Hunting

At this time, Yan Ke opened the curtain and walked in: "My lord and concubine, the accompanying servants have settled down, do you need any help from your subordinates?"

Yan Xining shook her head with dried tofu in her mouth: "It's nothing, just ask Songsong if he needs help."

Suddenly he remembered something, so he rummaged through his backpack and took out a big lotus leaf bag and handed it to Yan Ke: "Dried tofu, made with tofu. Let the brothers taste if it suits your appetite."

Yan Ke happily took the lotus leaf bag, and he pinched a piece of dried tofu and threw it into his mouth.After chewing, he hurriedly gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious. It's fragrant and chewy. It's like eating meat. You can't taste tofu at all. Wangfei, you are really skillful."

Yan Xining scratched his head in embarrassment: "The main reason is that after I cooked the dried tofu yesterday, I pressed it with a stone overnight, and it was a bit too much." Therefore, his five-spice dried tofu is extra chewy, and it is more chewy than normal tofu. Dry thinner.

Yan Ke threw another piece into his mouth, and he was full of praise: "It's delicious."

Yan Xining thought of his toon tree again, so he tentatively asked Yan Ke: "By the way, Guard Yan, can you send me a brother guard later? I want to pick some wild vegetables."

Yan Ke fully agreed: "No problem."

Yan Xining and Yan Ke were chatting and laughing, and suddenly they felt a chill down their backs, feeling that they were being watched by something terrible.Turning around, I saw Ji Song sitting quietly behind the desk and staring at them.

Ji Song leaned back on the chair, his right hand tapped slowly on the armrest.Yan Ke, who was very familiar with Ji Song, suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Oops, the prince is angry.

Yan Xining asked Yan Ke in a low voice: "Does your prince often do this?"

Yan Ke asked in a softer voice, "Which one?"

Yan Xining said in a low voice, "Maybe you can turn your back if you say Yinqing?"

Yan Ke thought for a while: "No..."

Ji Song said calmly, "I heard it."

Yan Xining: ... Oh shit.

Fortunately, Yan Ke is familiar with his master's temperament, so he walked quickly to the desk and spread out the lotus leaf bag: "Please look, my lord, this is the dried tofu that the princess has carefully cooked for you. It is delicious and chewy. It is better than eating The meat is still delicious!"

Ji Song: ...

His eyes turned between Yan Ke and Yan Xining. If he didn't know Yan Ke well, he would have thought that his subordinates had been bribed by Yan Xining.If he's not mistaken, since Yan Xining took out the dried tofu till now, he hasn't mentioned his name at all, right?

Yan Ke is worthy of being a lieutenant general. With just one look from the chief general, he can guess his intentions exactly.Yan Shiwei said righteously: "Master, the food you eat must be handled by the subordinates. When the princess delivered food to the master for the first time, the subordinates made it clear to him.

Ji Song's complexion visibly softened, but another question came up: "Is this why I received a loach, a wonton and broken braised pork?"

Yan Ke's smile froze on his face, how could he forget this?Careless.

The corners of Yan Xining's mouth twitched, it turned out that the dishes he cooked for Yan Ke and the others before were also delivered to Ji Song.When he thought about it carefully, it was indeed his lack of thoughtfulness. The big guards didn't have to for Ji Song's life. How could they forget their coach when they ate good food?

Just as Yan Xining was thinking about how to help Yan Ke out, Ji Song pinched a small piece of dried tofu and stuffed it into his mouth: "There are too many people in the camp, let the brothers be more vigilant."

Yan Ke saluted solemnly: "Yes!"

When he turned around, Ji Song pointed to the lotus leaf bag on the table: "Take this away."

Yan Ke grinned and showed his white teeth, he hastily put away the lotus leaf bag: "Okay, thank you master."

Before going out, he showed a hearty smile to Yan Xining, and Yan Xining's eyes became hot: don't go...don't leave him to face Ji Song alone...

When he was in Wenzhangyuan, he could still do something to distract himself, but what could he do in the tent?He didn't want to stare at Ji Song.

At this time, he heard Ji Song's voice: "I'll accompany you to pick toon in a while."

Yan Xining looked at Ji Song in surprise: "Huh?" Did he just have auditory hallucinations?Is Ji Song talking to him?

Ji Song's eyes were gloomy: "In the past, I was able to hunt some prey in the mountains, but not in the future. Maybe in the future spring hunting, I can only pick wild vegetables."

Yan Xining opened his mouth, he didn't know how to comfort Ji Song.If he had lost his legs, he would have been disheartened.This is true for ordinary people, let alone Ji Song.Ji Song is Chu Liao's God of War, losing his legs is no different from killing him.

After thinking for a while, Yan Xining groped in the backpack for a while, and he took out an oiled paper bag and handed it to Ji Song: "Here."

Ji Song raised his eyes suspiciously: "What is this?"

Yan Xining put the oiled paper bag on the desk and pushed it forward: "Sachima is a kind of sweet."

Ji Song didn't understand why Yan Xining suddenly gave him a pack of sweets. Just when he was about to refuse, he heard Yan Xining's voice: "When people are in a bad mood, eating sweets can make them feel better. I made it this time when I go out. There aren’t many desserts, and Sachima is the sweetest. But don’t worry, it’s not the kind that’s too sweet, you’ll know when you try it.”

Ji Song lowered his eyes and looked at the oily paper bag in front of him that exuded the sweet smell of honey, and the qi in his heart dissipated a lot unconsciously.He pushed the oiled paper bag towards Yan Xining: "I don't like sweets."

Yan Xining frowned slightly, don't you like sweets?Who was the first person to eat a big bowl of tangerine peel and red bean paste?

Ji Song followed his word, and after resting in the tent for a while, he took Yan Xining out of the tent.

Apart from His Majesty, the most distinguished people in the paddock were the princes. As soon as they got out of the tent, they met many princes and nobles who came to make friends.Fortunately, Ji Song was very dignified, so he dismissed them with a few words.Even so, Yan Xining, who was following behind Ji Song, was sweating a lot on his back.

After finally getting out of the tent area, Yan Xining let out a long sigh of relief: "I'm so tired."

Ji Song frowned slightly: "Tired after only walking a few steps?"

Yan Xining explained: "I'm not talking about physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion. I didn't know any of those adults just now. What they said was too euphemistic. I couldn't understand and I didn't know how to answer. I'm so worried. What kind of words can't be said to discredit Prince Rong's mansion."

Ji Song didn't expect to hear such an answer. After a while, he turned his head and looked forward calmly: "You just have to keep your heart and don't be tempted by them. Even if you can't speak again, they can't do anything to you."

Only then did Yan Xining smile: "Yeah!"

If you want to pick Chinese toon, you have to walk through a grass field.At this moment, the grassland is very lively. If you look around, you can see fat and strong horses in groups, slender hounds in groups, and eagles soaring high... The expressions of the people who came to participate in the spring hunting Yiyi talked and laughed happily, and they were happy with their friends and friends in the spring.

This made Yan Xining, who had never participated in a spring hunt, feel heroic in his heart, but when he lowered his head and saw the wheelchair in front of him, the enthusiasm in his heart fell back into the distance.

The surrounding horses and dogs were so noisy, but Yan Xining felt that there was a high wall around the wheelchair.The excitement was theirs, and Ji Song inside the high wall had only a wheelchair as a companion.He doesn't fit in with the people around him.

It would be great if Ji Song could stand up on his legs. As the marshal of the Chiling Army, this moment should be an excellent opportunity for him to show off his skills, instead of sitting in a wheelchair at the mercy of others like now.

Yan Xining didn't want to talk too much at first, but he couldn't hold back: "Songsong, can I ask, where did your leg hurt?"

As soon as the words fell, the wheelchair stopped, and the spring breeze blew Ji Song's long hair.At this moment, Yan Xining felt that something terrible was staring at him, his heart was shaking, and his limbs couldn't move.Could this be the legendary murderous intent?

When Yan Xining thought that Ji Song was going to turn his back on him, he heard Ji Song's answer: "The imperial doctor said that the veins in my leg were cut off, and there is no cure for medicine."

Yan Xining disagreed: "What are you talking about? A broken meridian doesn't mean a leg is gone. Just find a good doctor to connect it."

At this moment, Yan Ke, who was following the two, suddenly said: "Princess, it's not that easy. It's okay for the Taiyuan Hospital to treat trauma, but it hurts the veins...the imperial doctors said that they are not skilled enough to treat them."

Yan Xining was silent. Modern medical technology is advanced, and it is not a big deal to re-suture broken nerves and muscles. However, in the era of Chu Liao, the body, skin, and skin of parents, it is difficult to pass the ethical hurdle if you want to cut open the patient's body to find the lesion. .

Yan Xining sighed: "Could it be that there are no doctors in Chu Liao who dare to use knives?"

Yan Ke also sighed: "Who says it's not? But... I heard that there is a school of medicine in the Jianghu who is deviant. They will use a knife to cut open the stomach of a pregnant woman to take out the fetus, and they will also connect the meridians. It's just that the doctor Pai disappeared decades ago, and we have been looking for the master since he was injured, but there is no news of it.”

Yan Xining looked down at Ji Song's back, at this moment he only felt deep regret and powerlessness.It is a pity that such a good general will be accompanied by a wheelchair all his life, and the powerless thing is that he can do nothing to help him.

Ji Song felt Yan Xining's loss, and he said calmly, "As long as I'm alive, I won't give up."

He still has a lot of things to do, and the ambition in his chest has not had time to display, how can he be trapped in a small wheelchair?

Yan Xining smiled: "Yes! My mother...my mother said that the darker the difficult time, the more you have to persevere, and the dawn is ahead."

That's how my mother comforted him when his father was sick.It's a pity that he couldn't wait for the dawn back then, but at least this time, he hoped that a miracle would happen.

Ji Song looked up at Yan Xining: "You have a good mother."

I didn't expect Yan Xining's oiran mother to be so strong, no wonder she can raise such a tenacious child.

30. Spring Hunting

When Yan Xining and the others came back from the hillside, everyone carried wild vegetables on their backs. Ji Song’s wheelchair was hung with large and small cloth bags. He was covered with wild vegetables. When he came back, only his head was sticking out of the wild vegetables. .

Spring is the season of wild vegetables, and the hills in the hunting grounds are a treasure house if they are properly maintained.Red Chinese toon, bamboo shoots wrapped in green and black shells, green and spicy garlic, and goji berry heads that are so bright that they are about to drop oil...

When the other princes were eager to try hunting rabbits and foxes, Ji Song's tent was filled with red, green and wild vegetables.Although the fun of chasing is less, the satisfaction brought by picking wild vegetables is not much different from hunting good prey.

Freshly picked wild vegetables should be processed as soon as possible, otherwise they won't last long.Of course, this is not a problem for the back cook of the Rong Palace. The cook, Lao Zhang, has treated Yan Xining like an eyeball since he got the recipe for braised pork. After a while, he took the servants to move the wild vegetables that looked like hills to the back for disposal.

Yan Xining rubbed her hands contentedly: "Tomorrow I will bring more bags to pick wild vegetables! Try to pick more."

The fragrance of bamboo shoots was still lingering on the tip of Ji Song's nose. He said amusedly, "I picked so many wild vegetables today, is it enough for you to eat for more than a month? What do you want so many vegetables for?"

Yan Xining flipped through his backpack: "I'm idle, so I might as well take the opportunity to pick more wild vegetables. Seasonal wild vegetables taste very good. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

Ji Song said helplessly: "That's too much, wouldn't it be a waste if you can't finish it?"

Yan Xining smiled and said, "It's not just me eating alone, the guards in the house are also helping."

The corners of Ji Song's lips curled up slightly: "Prince Rong's Mansion will not starve them, and of course it won't starve you either."

Yan Xining sighed: "But isn't it a pity that so many wild vegetables are left unpicked on the mountain? Dried vegetables can be stored for a long time and have a unique flavor. When they are green and yellow, they can be soaked in hot water and fried for a delicious meal."

"The royal enclosure occupies so many hilltops, and there are so many plants and animals here, but people only enter in spring and autumn every year. These seasonal wild vegetables are old after the season, so wasteful. You just treat me as greedy, I just want more Pick some. If I can’t finish eating, I will make dried vegetables and eat slowly~”

The corners of Ji Song's lips turned up slightly: "Yes."

Just as Yan Xining was waiting for the toon fish in the tent, there was a commotion outside: "The emperor is here——"

Yan Xining turned to look at Ji Song: "What should I do?"

Ji Song rolled the wheelchair to the outside of the tent: "Pick up."

Thinking of seeing the top leader of Chu Liao soon, Yan Xining was quite excited.However, he didn't realize until he got out of the tent that it turned out that it was not the emperor's chauffeur who picked him up, but the emperor's guard of honor, and the emperor's sedan chair was still a mile away.

Yan Xining joined the princes again, this time he saw two princes who were younger than Ji Song: fifth prince Ji Yu and seventh prince Ji Tan.

Ji Yu was not tall and had a simple and honest appearance. When she saw Yan Xining, she smiled and called Mrs. Huang.Ji Tan was at the age when cats and dogs were disgusted, and pestered Ji Ling to ask questions, but Ji Ling had no choice but to give him the jade pendant, which brought him a moment of peace.

It didn't take long for the emperor's luan chariot to arrive in front of the crowd, and the princes and grandchildren knelt down on the ground chanting long live.Ji Song leaned on the armrests of the wheelchair and wanted to kneel, when Eunuch Yang raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to exempt you from courtesy - Your Majesty is too tired to meet you due to the exhaustion of the boat, please go back first."

Well, seeing a lonely person, let's go back and wait for the toon fish.

However, when Yan Xining just returned to the tent, Eunuch Yang came to pass on the word of mouth again, this time he brought news of the family banquet.Chu Liao's official language was very convoluted, and Yan Xining was confused, but later he understood it.The emperor meant that the members of the royal family hadn't gathered together for a long time. This time, several princes were here for the spring hunt, so they had to hold a simple and lively family banquet.

When Eunuch Yang mentioned the word family banquet, Yan Xining's expectations reached the peak - royal family banquet!This is probably the highest-standard family banquet in Chuliao, right?There must be a lot of good stuff!

Ji Song glanced at Yan Xining indifferently, and a trace of narrowness flashed in his eyes.

The location of the family banquet is in the largest tent. Once you enter the tent, you can see short tables on both sides of the tent.The table in the north is taller than the others, and it is the seat of Emperor Pingyuan.

Yan Xining raised her brows slightly: "It turned out to be a meal-sharing system." Unexpectedly, the royal family of Chu and Liao Dynasty is very particular, and now they implement the meal-sharing system.That's great, the food is distributed according to the head, everyone has a share!

Ji Song smiled, "I'm looking forward to it?"

Yan Xining smiled brightly: "Yeah!" I really look forward to those dishes that I have only seen on the recipe but have never eaten before.

Ji Song seemed to want to say something, but just as he opened his mouth, Eunuch Yang's voice came again, "My lord is here—"

The princes knelt on the ground again, and Ji Song was exempted from kneeling because of special circumstances.Yan Xining struggled to get up from behind the short table, and while standing up, he glanced at Zhengbei.

Chu Liao has no modern lighting equipment, and the area that can be illuminated by candlelight is limited.Yan Xining found a round and tall old man in normal clothes in the north, he seemed quite approachable.

Emperor Pingyuan took his seat and muttered a few words, and the family banquet began.Yan Xining's anticipation has reached its peak, come on, he is ready.

The first thing served was a delicate small bowl. When the lid of the small bowl was lifted, Yan Xining's anticipation turned into doubt.This...how is a bowl of minced meat?The minced meat was covered with an egg yolk, and the smell of raw meat and blood came over the face.

Ah, this...

Yan Xining subconsciously looked at Ji Song next to him, he wanted to see how the native Chu and Liao people would eat this dish.Sensing Yan Xining's eyes asking for help, Ji Song proudly picked up the portion of minced meat in front of him and gulped down.

Yan Xining opened her eyes wide: ...

strong man!So bold!

After sighing, he turned his head and looked at the small bowl in front of him with a bitter face.It's not that he's hypocritical, it's that he really can't eat it.

At this moment, a big hand suddenly took away his bowl of minced meat, Ji Song drank it down without changing his face, and then put the empty bowl in front of Yan Xining.Yan Xining was extremely grateful: "Thank you Songsong."

Ji Song whispered: "This is a royal tradition."

Served with the minced meat were two dark side dishes, which seemed to be pickled bracken and sunflower after Yan Xining identified them.

When he expectedly picked up a piece of bracken and threw it into his mouth, he almost cried: I have never eaten such an unpalatable bracken in my life, is Chu Liao's salt worthless?What are you doing with so much?The taste of the sunflower was also appalling, it was cold and greasy, not only the stomach became cold after eating it, but Yan Xining's heart also became cold.

He was wrong, he shouldn't have expected anything from the royal family dinner.After lowering my expectations, the dishes that were served next were more delicious than expected.The fly in the ointment is that all the dishes are served in small bowls, only one bite.

The whole banquet lasted for an hour, Yan Xining ate more than a dozen mouthfuls of soup and water.After the banquet was over, he became even more hungry.

On the way back to the tent, Yan Xining said resentfully, "I finally understand why you had that expression when you heard Eunuch Yang talking about the banquet." At that time, he felt that Ji Song was not excited at all, but now it seems that there is no need to be excited at all, nothing happened. Wu Kelian has already been cultivated by him.

Ji Song said calmly: "The royal family banquet has rules, don't be extravagant and wasteful, and don't be extravagant." You have to remember the ancestors and be alert to future generations. Every time the emperor said those things at a family banquet, only those who have never participated in it will understand The royal family dinner is expected.

Yan Xining felt aggrieved and rubbed her belly: "Go back and add some food." He is out for a spring outing, of course the spring outing should be good for eating, drinking and having fun, how could he starve himself?

Not long after returning to the tent, the cook, Lao Zhang, delivered the toon fish that Yan Xining ordered.The toon wrapped in batter and deep-fried until golden has nothing to do with fish, but the unique taste of toon has become more fragrant.

Yan Xining warmly greeted Ji Song: "Song Song, come and eat the toon fish!"

Ji Song was reading a book by candlelight, his eyes were deep and his tone was deep: "I'm not hungry."

Yan Xining raised her eyebrows. Others don't know Ji Song's appetite, how can he not know?But Ji Song didn't want to eat it, so he didn't force it.It just so happened that he could enjoy this delicacy all by himself.

The toon fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Lao Zhang's cooking skills were very good, and Yan Xining ate a big plate happily.After he was full, he stood up and strolled around happily: "Ah, I'm full!"

When you're full, it's time to wash up and go to bed.The ready-made bed is quite big, so there is no pressure for him and Ji Song to sleep together.Just where should I take a shower?Yan Xining walked around the tent, even Ji Song couldn't stand it anymore: "What are you looking for?"

Yan Xining said, "Bathtub."

Ji Song's body stiffened for a moment, then he pointed to the outside of the tent: "Look for Yan Ke."

Yan Ke and the others quickly walked in with a big bathtub. How big is the bathtub?Yan Xining thought he could swim in it.They placed the bathtub horizontally in the middle of the tent, and the dark bathtub exuded an unpleasant smell.

Yan Ke apologized all over his face: "I'm sorry, Wangfei, there are rough men in the palace, and they didn't think about taking a bath when they went out, so you can use it first."

Yan Xining said gratefully, "I'm sorry to trouble everyone. This wooden basin is very good, but... I don't know where you found it." Why does he feel that the smell of this bathtub is a bit familiar?

Yan Ke said fortunately: "I borrowed it from the cook, Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang said that this is the best wooden basin in the kitchen. It is so big and strong that it won't splash a single drop of boiling water when scalding the pig."

Ji Song covered his face with a book, his slightly trembling shoulders had already betrayed him.

Yan Xining: ...
