Gluttonous Crown Princess

Luoyang, Mu Wang's Mansion, inside the study.

The moonlight was blurred and the breeze was fainting, Prince Mu lowered his eyes, playing with a shiny jade porcelain vase.

After reading the letter, Princess Mu, who was beside her, couldn't help but clenched her fingers, and frowned, "Is this really a letter from Chang'an?"

Prince Mu gave a faint "um".

Princess Mu frowned more tightly, and couldn't help but muttered, "Why do these three princes target the princess? A young lady, she looked at the banquet a few days ago, like a simple mind..."

If the third prince had to deal with the prince, she could still understand. But when he came here this time, he was trying to make a trip to the princess, which was a bit inexplicable.

"Since he requested this, then let's fully cooperate. If you haven't contacted the princess carefully, don't rush to a conclusion. Maybe she just looks at Chunliang, but is she really serious?"

"What do you say?"

"It has been four days since the prince accepted the Yu sisters, but he never invited them, and didn’t even see them. He only stayed at the prince’s concubine every night, and even Sun Zhengguo hosted a banquet at night. As soon as she falls, she returns to the palace. Although the princess is beautiful, she is not a peerless beauty. Without some scheming methods, how can she be so fascinated by the prince?"

"..."

When Princess Mu heard this, her heart was very envious, and she even wanted to find a chance to talk with the princess, to see what she used to be able to trap the man in this way.

Prince Mu slowly put down the porcelain vase, took the letter paper in Princess Mu's hand, and threw it into the red sandalwood seat on the side of the cloisonné enamel beast ear furnace.

He watched the letter paper burn out in the furnace before he closed the furnace lid again.

"The letter says that you don't want her life, just let her be innocent, and she can continue to be the princess. Wang Hao, you can think about it for a few days and see how to arrange it so that you can do it without leaking." He Shen said.

Princess Mu was startled, and an unnatural smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Master, how do the concubines arrange this kind of thing..."

Prince Mu raised his eyes, stared at the princess faintly, and gave a mean smile, "Princess, you and I are married as a couple. I have known many things for a long time, but I just don’t want to take care of it, so as not to hurt the harmony between our husband and wife. Those concubines in the backyard who died of illness, madness, or accidents, didn't you handle them well? When dealing with women, women can't help them."

As he said, he walked up to Princess Mu, raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, entrusting him with a heavy responsibility, and said solemnly, "I will leave this to you. Don't worry, you don't want to disappoint him."

After speaking, he stroked his beard, walked out of the house in a big stride, and dropped a sentence, "This king is resting in Yingxiangyuan tonight, and the princess also rests earlier."

Princess Mu's face was stiff, pale for a while, and her no longer young eyebrows were full of complex emotions.

Husband and wife together? Hurt? What kind of spirit is there!

But it has been entangled for most of my life, and the bond of interest is too deep, and I can't break it even if I want to break it.

The hand hanging on the skirt was squeezed tightly for a long time, and finally loosened. When she raised her head again, there was a sharp chill in her eyes.

………

Luoyang Palace, a burst of strong meaty aroma mixed with elegant tea aroma, floated out from the dining room leisurely.

The palace people on duty outside the dining room smelled this, and tears almost flowed from the corners of their mouths.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant!"

"The prince's cooking is different. I haven't been greedy for several days."

"I don't know what the princess does today. I smell like chicken? There seems to be a stew..."

"Hey, I sneaked in and took a look just now. The princess made several dishes today, but the fragrance should be the smell of braised chicken legs!"

With that said, a plate of fragrant, tender, salty, bright and yellow braised chicken legs popped up in the palace people’s minds, and the saliva could not help but secrete more.

In the dining room, Tao Ti hummed a little song and cooked food happily.

A few days ago, Pei Yan didn't know where he heard the words "If a woman does not come to Guishui to take a good rest, it will be extremely hurtful and affect Shouyuan." Run, you can't cook anymore.

Tao Ti had no choice but to stay peacefully in the Jixian Hall, thinking about the dim sum shop's plan by the way.

The cook in the dining room obeyed the prince's instructions and cooked nourishing dishes for the prince to avoid spicy and greasy dishes.

After eating light meals for four days in a row, Tao Ti almost dreamed of boiled pork slices, hot pepper chicken, braised chicken wings, spicy crab, and stir-fried snails. So when she felt refreshed, she rushed to the kitchen eagerly, planning to make up for her stomach.

Today, she made boiled pork slices, fried poached eggs with tiger skin and green peppers, and spicy chicken. Thinking that Pei Yan's food intake has been significantly reduced in the past few days, she also made a few more elegant and delicious tea dishes——

A dish of longjing shrimp, a dish of green tea mixed with tofu, a dish of steamed sea bass with black tea, and a pot of fragrant tea-flavored chicken drumsticks.

These dishes are just as easy to pick up, and they are all delicious, but in terms of fragrance, they are not as good as halogen fragrance.

Seeing the greedy people in the palace, Tao Ti fished out the tea-flavored marinated chicken legs, and said kindly to the royal kitchen, "You can marinate a lot of things in the remaining marinade. You can marinate some eggs, dried tofu, Pork or something, add a meal to the big guy."

The imperial chef was greedy for a long time, and originally wanted to wait for the princess to leave, secretly use the brine to bite something, now seeing the princess let go, after crossing the clear road, he was so happy in his heart, and he was too busy to respond. Come down.

The palace people in the dining room also said in unison, "Thank you for the grace of the princess!"

Seeing their gratitude and tears, Tao Ti was embarrassed, but it was just a pot of brine, as if she had done some terrible good deeds.

...

After leaving the dining room, Tao Ti just walked to the gate of Jixian Hall and met Pei Yan head-on.

"His Royal Highness, you are back." Tao Ti greeted him happily, "You came back today earlier than yesterday."

"Well, today's affairs are lighter."

Pei Yan replied and glanced behind her faintly, "Are you going to the kitchen again?"

Tao Ti nodded and smiled, "How delicious I made today, you have a good taste! Go, let's go into the house."

Seeing her so happy, Pei Yan swallowed the phrase "You don't have to be tired from cooking" in his throat, then he nodded gently at her and said hello.

The two entered the hall together. After cleaning their hands, the Huanghuali table was already full of rich and attractive dishes.

"Boiled pork slices, fried poached eggs with tiger skin and green peppers, spicy chicken diced, these spicy dishes are mine."

"Longjing prawns, green tea mixed with tofu, black tea steamed sea bass, these teas are light and fragrant, nourishing and nourishing the stomach, they are yours."

"This tea-flavored stewed chicken drumsticks are not spicy, but they have a strong taste, so they can be eaten as a snack."

After Tao Ti reported the name of the dish, she lifted her chin a little proudly, as if she had a little red flower in a kindergarten, waiting for her parents to praise her, her black eyes fixedly looked at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan understood her careful thinking at a glance, and said seriously, "Ati is really amazing."

When she asked for praise, she was full of confidence and she was really going to be praised. She was a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, the people in the palace held a smile, even Pei Yan laughed lowly, and the atmosphere in the air became relaxed.

Tao Ti picked up a tea-flavored stewed chicken drumstick and gnawed with enjoyment--

The chicken thighs are fresh and tender. They smell fragrant and taste more fragrant. After one bite, the layers of tender chicken mixed with salty and sweet juice burst between the lips and teeth. The fragrance of the chicken and tea is perfectly integrated, and the freshness is carried in the mouth. The slightest sweetness, fat but not greasy, it is so delicious that it is indescribable that people can't control the mouth. After swallowing a big mouthful, I can't wait to bite the second and third bites.

"It's so delicious." Tao Ti satisfied after eating a chicken leg, and said in his heart, she is really a genius, how can she make such a delicious thing!

Seeing that there was a little oil on the side of her blushing mouth, Pei Yan picked up a veil and reached out to wipe the corner of her mouth.

"...!"

Tao Ti froze, staring at him with rounded eyes, holding a chicken bone in his hand unsightly.

Pei Yan was extremely natural. After wiping her, he gently retracted his hand.

Seeing her still stunned, he raised his eyebrows slightly and narrowed his peachy eyes, "Don't eat it?"

Tao Ti blinked, and recovered, "Eat, eat..."

She hurriedly put the chicken bones away, picked up the rice bowl and started to chop the rice, but the mad deer jumped wildly in her chest, tossing fiercely.

While eating, she recalled the little things she had with Pei Yan along the way after she came out of Chang'an.

First, the day in the carriage was facing each other, and then to the touch of the head, and today’s wiping her mouth...

Is he a little...too close to her?

Is it possible that he likes her?

No, no, how could this be, how could he like her, it's not dark this day, what dreams did she do!

What's more, they are not the same thing at all!

I must be too sensitive.

Maybe he just made these little moves because he was familiar with it?

While Tao Ti was thinking about it, the voice from the other side interrupted her thoughts, "How can I just eat instead of vegetables?"

Tao Ti was taken aback, raised his eyes again, and met Pei Yan's always gentle eyes, he asked, "What are you thinking about is more important than eating."

According to his understanding of her during this period, in her heart, eating is always the first place.

Besides, all the dishes on this table are her favorite.

Tao Ti's eyes were a little erratic, "No, nothing."

Pei Yan said lightly, "Oh, this way."

He didn't say any more, only put a chopsticks Longjing shrimp into the bowl, his head hung down, his beautiful eyes were dark and deep, making it hard to see what he was thinking.

Leaving this episode aside, I had a good meal.

Tao Ti is the main force and almost killed most of the food. Under her infection, Pei Yan also spent an extra bowl of rice tonight than yesterday.

Fu Xirui looked at her with joy, and thought that the princess still had the patience, and the dishes he cooked were so appetizing to His Royal Highness.

After dinner, Pei Yan sat at the desk to handle government affairs, while Tao Ti lay down on the couch and read the script.

When it is late at night, take a shower and wash, and then go to bed together.

The tent was lowered, and a faint sweet fragrance lingered in the tent.

In the darkness, Pei Yan said, "I have been busy going out and patrolling alone these few days, so I can't have time to accompany you..."

Tao Ti was closing her eyes and preparing to fall asleep. She was a little confused when she heard such a thoughtless sentence. When she reacted, she said in a lazy tone, "It's okay, you're busy with you, I will find something to do by myself."

She has been inconvenient these few days, and it would have been difficult for her to go out. Now that the period is over, she originally planned to go out for shopping tomorrow.

She was about to report to Pei Yan and listened to the man next to her saying, "I will take you out tomorrow alone."

Tao Ti was stunned, "Ah, your highness, are you done?"

"Not yet, but tomorrow can free up a day of free time."

"That's great! Let's just go out and play together. These days, seeing you go out early and return late, I'm also worried that your body can't stand it... It's fine now. I can take a break and work and rest together."

In the darkness, although Pei Yan could not see her expression clearly, she could hear the joy in her tone.

He slightly raised his thin lips and said, "I heard that the request for a visa from Luoyang Baiyun Temple is very effective, and the peach blossoms in the back mountain are in full bloom and the scenery is pleasant. Let's go there tomorrow?"

Tao Ti has also heard of the reputation of the ancient temple of Baiyun Temple. Although she is not very interested in the temple, she has a tourist mentality of "you are here, if you don't check in, it is equivalent to nothing". .

Besides, she had heard people say that Su Zhai at Baiyun Temple was doing very well.

After thinking for a moment, she replied--

"Okay, go to Baiyun Temple."
