Chapter 894: Ordinary there, novel here
After his mood calmed down a bit, Xiao Jingyi looked up at the crowd that was gradually walking away and about to leave the palace gate... Many of them were his followers, and now...
Are they intentionally distancing themselves?
He is such a fence-sitter!
Xiao Jingyi gritted his teeth and thought, "I want to follow this prince, the only orphan of the late crown prince, and gain the merit of following the dragon. I want to rise to prominence in the future. You all are clinging to me and want to get on my boat.
Now that there are just a few gentle waves, you can't wait to get off the boat?
Hehe... Can you get on and off this boat of mine as you please?
Xiao Jingyi narrowed his eyes slightly, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth...
When this king goes to heaven, he will not necessarily take you with him;
But if I were to go to hell... I would drag all of you down with me!
When Xiao Jingyi arrived at the palace gate, all he saw were carriages going away one after another.
The area outside the palace gate had become deserted, with only Xiao Jingyu's low-key and luxurious carriage still parked there.
Several of Xiao Jingyu's guards were also leading horses, guarding around the carriage in high spirits.
Xiao Jingyi stopped and looked at Xiao Jingyu's carriage from a distance, hesitating whether to go over...
After a brief hesitation, Xiao Jingyi gave up the idea and walked straight towards his carriage.
Forget it. Even if I try to put on a smile and approach him now, Xiao Jingyu won’t get a good look.
Yesterday, he was at the Duke of Anguo's mansion;
But he has always been by Leng Rongyue's side;
He saw everything the mother and daughter from the Cifu Mansion did from beginning to end!
It’s normal for Xiao Jingyu to take his anger out on himself!
In that case, I'd better not bother myself by doing this.
Didn’t my good uncle ask me to reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors?
Then I will be obedient... go home... and reflect on my mistakes!
Through the car window, Xiao Jingyu looked at Xiao Jingyi's series of actions and curled his lips slightly.
After watching Xiao Jingyi's carriage leave, Xiao Jingyu withdrew his gaze and looked towards the palace gate.
Thinking... it would probably take a while for my father to go back to the harem, change into casual clothes, and then pick up my mother.
Xiao Jingyu leaned back on the cushion, crossed his arms over his chest, and closed his eyes to rest.
The Emperor and the Empress acted much faster than Xiao Jingyu had imagined!
Not long after, he heard the wind outside the carriage announce: "Your Majesty, the Emperor and Empress have left the palace!"
Xiao Jingyu opened his eyes, raised his hand to open the curtains, and looked out...
A simple and plain carriage drove out from the side door of the palace.
Yu Feng and Feng Guang, who were also dressed in casual clothes, rode on horses and guarded the carriage.
"Let's follow!"
Xiao Jingyu ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Following the wind's call, several guards outside the carriage mounted their horses.
The carriage started moving, following behind the emperor and the empress's carriage, heading towards the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
When the Duke of Anguo and his two sons, who had rushed back to the mansion earlier, arrived at the flower hall in the second hall, they saw that only the brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu were sitting there drinking tea. Old Madam Xue, the first lady Huo Chanyu, the second lady Zheng Suyao, and Leng Rongyue were not there.
When the two brothers saw their grandfather, father and second uncle coming back, they hurriedly stood up and greeted them.
"Why are there only two of you brothers?
Where is your grandmother, your mother, and your second aunt?"
The eldest master Fu Yinglan asked.
"Father, Grandma, Mother, and Second Aunt are all in the kitchen with Yue'er!"
"Have they all gone to the main kitchen?"
The second master Fu Yingze was a little surprised!
"Yes!"
Brothers Fu Mingjun and Fu Mingxiu nodded.
After the servants served tea and the door of the flower hall was closed as per the rules, Fu Mingjun lowered his voice and told the three people of Anguogong, his father and son, about Yue'er's plan.
"Oh, I see!"
The father and son nodded.
“Yue’er is thinking about it!
In that case, let’s go wash up and change into casual clothes!
The Emperor and Empress should be arriving soon!"
Duke Anguo Fu Peng reminded.
"Yes, Dad!"
The eldest master Fu Yinglan nodded.
The father and his two sons got up and went to the back hall.
At this time, the fragrance from the big kitchen wafted outside in waves.
The four people in green standing in the kitchen yard couldn't help but sniff hard...it smells so good!
If I hadn't tried hard to hold it back, my saliva would have really flowed down.
In the kitchen, a row of large stoves were all emitting steam.
There are freshly cooked dishes in it...
A big pot of steamed pork with preserved vegetables;
In one pot is Leng Rongyue’s freshly made sweet and sour pork ribs.
Leng Rongyue is now stir-frying spicy diced rabbit.
As for the star of the show, roast duck, there are also dishes like boiled fish, braised prawns, stir-fried tripe with coriander, and stir-fried squid rolls.
As well as the light-flavored lettuce with oyster sauce, there is also the lotus pond stir-fry that stir-fries lotus root slices, yam slices, snow peas, ginkgo nuts, cashews and freshly peeled shrimps. It is not only pleasing to the eye but also tastes fresh, crisp and refreshing.
The cold dishes include fresh and refreshing mixed vegetables, preserved eggs with Hangzhou peppers, chicken feet with pickled peppers and volcanic snow... uh... it's just tomatoes and sugar, haha... this dish is the easiest to make!
These are home-cooked dishes.
If Leng Rongyue were really asked to cook the eight major cuisines, it would be really difficult for her.
However, even these home-cooked dishes are fresh delicacies that the people here have never seen or eaten!
