To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 213 One Arrow

  Wei Qiang smiled at Luo Sheng: "Then thank you Miss Luo."

   "Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, I can't be thanked by Your Highness. Will Your Highness eat here, or take it away?"

  Feeling the cold air emanating from someone, Wei Qiang smiled and said, "Let's take it away."

  Take it back, and let Yu Niang taste it.

  Yu Niang lost her appetite after eating the bowl of fish brain noodles in sour soup, and her pale face was worrying.

  Luo Sheng picked up a beggar's elbow and put it on a lotus leaf pad and handed it to Wei Qiang, reminding him lightly: "Your Highness, be careful of burning your hands."

  The lotus leaves are dried in the sun. After being soaked, they can be used to wrap the elbows to make beggar’s elbows and beggar’s chicken.

   And these dried lotus leaves were obtained from the accompanying royal chef.

  The emperor's trip is a very grand event, and every aspect must be considered and thoughtful. Regarding the emperor's diet, of course it is indispensable to prepare various ingredients.

  After all, arriving at Beihe is not as convenient as going to Beijing.

   Wei Qiang was holding the warm and fragrant elbow, a little embarrassed: "Can I borrow the food box?"

  He walks from Miss Luo back to the tent with a big elbow in his hand, and this journey will probably attract many people's attention.

  Luo Sheng raised his eyes to look at him, and explained: "The mud shell has been knocked open. If it is stuffed in a food box, it will affect the taste."

   "I see." Wei Qiang had no choice but to give up after hearing what Luo Sheng said.

   "Uncle Wang, Miss Luo, then I'll go back first."

  He walked not far with his elbows in his hands, and met Governor Luo head-on.

   "Meet Your Highness."

   "The governor doesn't need to be too polite."

  Governor Luo's eyes were glued to Wei Qiang's hand: "What is Your Highness holding?"

   It smells too good!

   "Miss Luo said that this dish is called beggar elbow."

   "Begger's Elbow—" Governor Luo looked carefully, and saw a corner of the ugly mud shell opened, revealing the red meat with wrinkled skin and glutinous flesh.

  Thinking of a certain possibility, Governor Luo's expression changed.

   Not good, a pig has four legs in total, and the crown prince took away one elbow, leaving only three!

  Think about your son, think about your nephew, and think about King Kaiyang who is always brazen enough to make money...

  Governor Luo didn't bother to say more, bid farewell to Wei Qiang in a hurry and rushed to Luo Sheng.

  Luo Sheng was taking off the lid of the pot and sprinkled sliced ​​wild onions on the deliciously soft and rotten rabbit meat. From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Governor Luo, covered the pot and said hello: "Why is father here?"

   Governor Luo: "..."

   I don't know if Sheng'er did it on purpose, why she always asks such embarrassing words.

   "Come and see." He looked around, and his eyes fell on Wei Han.

   "The prince is here too."

  The prince, who was about to eat his elbow, reluctantly put down his beggar's elbow, and nodded slightly: "I didn't expect the great governor to come here."

   Governor Luo's expression twisted for a moment.

   What kind of **** is this!

   This is the tent where his daughters rest. Is there any problem with him coming over as a father?

  How could a young prince who has not married yet have the nerve to come here all the time and say such things?

  Sweeping to the two elbows placed on the lotus leaf beside the young man, Governor Luo almost forgot the identity of the person in front of him and fought with him.

  Three elbows, King Kaiyang ate two by himself?

   "My lord is eating elbows."

   Wei Han picked up his lowered elbow and nodded calmly: "Well, I hunted prey today."

   Governor Luo was silent.

  So, King Kaiyang hunted a wild boar just for this beggar?

  The prey they hunted, so what can I say, I knew that he would also shoot a wild boar and send it over.

  Sheng Sanlang held up the last beggar's elbow and handed it to Governor Luo: "Uncle, try this elbow, it tastes so good."

   Governor Luo couldn't help being moved.

  Look, in the end the nephew still works, and outsiders are outsiders.

   One person eats two elbows, what does this kind of son-in-law want to do?

   No way, let's talk about Tan Tan Saburo.

  Governor Luo didn't want to see King Kaiyang, who had two elbows all to himself, and left with his nephew's filial beggar elbow.

   "Xiu Gu, are the second batch of elbows ready?" Sheng Sanlang asked while chewing on the meat skewers.

  Thanks to his wit, when he saw King Kaiyang hunting a wild boar, he thought of the beggar’s elbow made by his cousin on the way to Beijing.

  I couldn't help drooling at the thought of beggar elbow, and then I went to the person who hunted the wild boar and begged for the prey.

   "Okay, let's eat."

  Four elbows, Sheng Sanlang shared one, Luo Chen and Xiao Qi each had one, and the remaining one belonged to Hongdou.

  Seeing that the four of them were eating their elbows, Wei Han frowned, and handed the elbow on the lotus leaf to Luo Sheng.

   "Miss Luo, please eat some."

  Luo Chen's eyes flickered.

   He even gave Luo Sheng an elbow.

   Sheng Saburo was also shocked.

   Such a delicious elbow is willing to part with it, how much perseverance did King Kaiyang use!

  Luo Sheng smiled: "My lord, eat, I'm not very hungry."

   Wei Han looked at her seriously, and saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he nodded slightly.

  Wei Qiang walked back holding the beggar's elbow all the way, and met countless people saluting along the way.

  Looking at the Taipusi Shaoqing who bowed his hands and saluted, he knew what to say next without even thinking about it.

   "What is Your Highness taking?"

   "The beggar's elbow is made by a chef in a restaurant, and it's made from wild boar." After finishing these words fluently, Wei Qiang strode past Wang Shaoqing.

  Wang Shaoqing moved his nose.

  It smells so good.

  It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to hunt wild boars.

   Wei Qiang quickened his pace and finally returned to the golden account.

   "Yu Niang, look what I brought." He put the beggar's elbow padded with lotus leaves on the table and called Chao Hua to taste it.

   After taking a few mouthfuls, Chaohua stopped his chopsticks.

   "Why don't you eat?"

   Chao Hua smiled softly: "The elbow is delicious, but I feel a little greasy after eating too much."

   "You have a poor appetite." Wei Qiang said, thinking of the bowl of sour noodle soup that was eaten clean.

   "I ate a lot of fish brain noodles in sour soup last time."

   Chao Hua said embarrassingly: "The fish brain noodles in sour soup made by the chef of a restaurant really suits my concubine's taste."

  Wei Qiang made a silent note, and after eating and resting for a while, he walked out of the golden tent and went to Luo Sheng's place.

   "Miss Luo is not here?" Hearing Luo Qing's words, Wei Qiang was a little surprised.

  Have hunted and eaten, where else can you be if you are not in the tent?

  Luo Qing respectfully replied: "Third sister took her younger brother to practice archery."

  Wei Qiang raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Miss Luo really cares about her younger brother. Does Miss Luo know where Miss Luo practices archery?"

  Luo Qing explained the location, Wei Qiang turned and left.

   "Concentrate, don't be nervous, just be familiar with bows and arrows... hold the bow well like me..."

  The gentle and soothing voice came to the ears along the breeze, like the clear spring of autumn water, which should calm people's irritability.

   But Wei Qiang stopped suddenly, staring at the girl holding a bow and arrow, his face turned pale instantly.

  The arrow flew out and hit the bullseye exactly.

   But Wei Qiang felt that what the arrow shot into was not the bull's-eye, but his heart.

   Instantly **** and fragmented.

See you tomorrow.
