To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 145 Satisfied

   The waiter Hongdou walked over energetically and said, "Several guest officers, please."

  Thirty pork knuckles, they tasted two just now, and there are still eight waiting for closing.

  Girls and Xiugu usually don’t eat, one for cousin, one for Shi Sanhuo, one for Kouer, one for shopkeeper, one for Xiao Qi, one for Lu Hu and Du Feibiao, she can eat two!

  Thinking in this way, Hongdou greeted the guests with great energy.

  Pingnan Wang couldn't help but take another look at Hongdou.

  He has come to the capital since he was a noble and idle prince, and with his relationship with the prince, everyone respects him, and this is the first time he has been called a guest officer.

   It sounds a bit fresh.

   "Is there an elegant room?" King Pingnan asked.

  Hong Dou smiled sweetly: "The guest officer came early, and the private room is still empty."

   "Then go to the elegant room." Pingnan Wang invited Wei Han, "Let's join the eleventh brother."

   Wei Han flatly refused: "Don't disturb the third brother and third sister-in-law's family for dinner."

   "The eleventh brother's words are off the mark. We are brothers, aren't we just a family?" Pingnan Wang said with a smile.

  Luo Sheng looked at it coldly, and sneered in his heart.

  Many years ago, King Pingnan had such a good temper in front of his father, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

   Unexpectedly, there is such a vicious heart under this appearance.

  She turned her eyes to see Wei Han's answer.

   Wei Han still looked cold: "The main reason is that I am used to sitting in the lobby."

  Pingnan Wang still had such an affectionate smile on his face: "Since this is the case, I will not force the eleventh brother."

   "Guest officer, please." Hongdou turned around and led Pingnan Wang's family up the stairs.

  Luo Sheng's eyes followed for a moment, and he picked up the tea cup with lowered eyes.

  The tea is bitter and refreshing.

  Of course she would not choose to do it the first time King Pingnan came.

  Inside the door, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it; outside the door, there are guards and even dark guards brought by King Pingnan.

  It is so easy to kill a prince.

  After the fish comes, it is the right way to improve the layout according to the characteristics of the fish.

  Luo Sheng put down the teacup, got up and walked towards the back kitchen.

   "Grilled pork knuckle, amber winter melon—" Shi Yan came over with a tray, and put the dishes on the table while announcing the names of the dishes.

   It is rare for Wei Han not to go to see the dishes immediately, but to follow the plain figure with his eyes thinking.

   "Master, what are you looking at?" Shi Yan wondered.

  The fragrant elbow is put on the table, doesn't the master even glance at it?

   "Look at Miss Luo." Wei Han withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly.

  Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, and lowered his voice: "Master, it's best to save your extraordinary performance when Miss Luo is around, don't waste it here in this humble job—"

   "Get lost." Wei Han glanced at Shi Yan coldly, holding up his chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

   One elbow was cut into thin slices, and it still maintained a complete plate, which didn't look like much.

   Wei Han picked up a piece and ate it, and felt uncomfortable all day long, and then his stomach finally settled down.

   Today, Miss Luo took another look at King Pingnan.

  Generally speaking, when a drinker comes in, Miss Luo only takes a look.

  Wei Han suppressed this doubt, and picked up the second elbow.

  In the elegant room, the food and wine have been served.

   Wei Wen picked up a piece of amber winter melon and put it on Princess Pingnan's plate: "Mother, please try the amber winter melon from this restaurant."

   It was really tempting for Concubine Mu to come with her, and she began to worry that Concubine Mu would be disappointed, after all, she had never tasted this dish.

  Princess Pingnan didn't move her chopsticks, she stared at the crystal amber in the dish with a complicated expression.

   When she saw it, she knew it was the amber winter melon in her memory.

  Authentic amber winter melon, she has only eaten it twice.

  When it was still a small time, she followed her mother to her grandmother's house to celebrate her birthday, and ate once during her short stay.

   I heard from my mother that the cook of my grandfather’s family has a unique secret method for making this amber winter melon dish, which was passed down from my ancestors.

  After coming back, my grandmother passed away within half a year.

  The grandmother’s house was hundreds of miles away from her own. That was the only time in her memory that her mother took her to her grandmother’s house. Her grandmother’s kindness and the sweet amber winter melon remained deep in her memory ever since.

  Afterwards, I went to Zhennan Palace as a guest, and when chatting with Princess Zhennan, I heard that Princess Qingyang would cook this dish.

  She tasted it, perhaps because it lacked a layer of warm memories, and it tasted slightly inferior to the amber winter melon that she ate at her grandfather's house.

   But also very good.

   It can be said that in some respects, she is satisfied with Princess Qingyang, the daughter-in-law-to-be.

   Of course, there are more dissatisfaction.

  The first King of Zhennan and Emperor Taizu were sworn brothers, they started in troubled times and together they pacified the world.

  The king of Zhennan is the elder brother, and the emperor Taizu is the younger brother. The two joined hands to conquer the world. It is said that the elder brother should have taken that position, but the first king of Zhennan believed that his ability to govern the world was not as good as that of the emperor Taizu, so he handed over the throne.

  Emperor Taizu was grateful for his kindness, and distributed the land where the two started their families to the righteous brother, and named the righteous brother the king of Zhennan, hereditary.

  The king of Zhennan can be said to be eight thousand years old, and he is more noble than ordinary princes.

  At that time, the prince had to be cautious and polite in front of Zhennan Wang, but she was half a head shorter in front of Zhennan Wangfei.

   It can even be said that if the princess gets along with the princess of Zhennan Palace, she will have to give way.

  The princess is the daughter of the emperor, and the emperor would sometimes wrong her daughter due to various considerations, but the Zhennan Palace has such a long history, so it should be polite.

   Princess Qingyang is good, but with such a noble background, it is not so good to be a daughter-in-law.

   As a mother-in-law, she can't coax her daughter-in-law in the future, right?

   "Concubine Mu, don't you want to try it?"

  Princess Pingnan returned to her senses, the complicated look on her face faded, and she picked up the amber winter melon with a smile.

   "My son's filial piety, of course you have to taste it."

  No matter how honorable it is, she is the one who is sitting here enjoying the delicious food, while Princess Zhennan, who needs her to cheer up and socialize, has already become a piece of loess.

  The huge monster lying in the south has been wiped out.

   A piece of amber winter melon is in the mouth, and Princess Pingnan tastes it carefully.

   "Concubine Mu, do you think it's delicious?" Wei Wen asked.

  Princess Pingnan's eyebrows stretched, and she looked comfortable: "Of course it's delicious."

  The amber winter melon I ate this time was even better than the one made by Princess Qingyang.

  Maybe the mood is different.

   Guilty?

  Princess Pingnan picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips lightly, smiling slightly.

  Guilt to let her eldest son be the prince? Or make Pingnan Palace more noble than other palaces?

  Since guilt can’t be eaten, it’s okay not to.

  The only regret is that Qiang'er is separated from them.

  However, if you want to achieve great things, there is no regret. When Qiang'er sits in that position and enjoys the supreme power, he will gradually understand their approach.

   "I also think it's delicious, but it's a pity that the second brother didn't come." After Wei Wen finished speaking, her eyes widened a little, "Father, why did you finish eating half an elbow in the blink of an eye?"

  Pingnan Wang picked up a piece of elbow and put it in Princess Pingnan's bowl: "You all have a taste, this elbow is absolutely delicious."

  Wait until the cups and plates were messed up, King Pingnan sighed contentedly: "Wen'er really found a good place."

  Come to eat again tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.
