To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 256 Serving

  Suppressing the sudden suspicion, Luo Sheng glanced at the empty wine table: "Has Your Highness ordered yet?"

   Wei Qiang wanted to sneer.

  After he came in, he didn't feel well, and he didn't care about ordering food.

   "Any new dishes?"

  Luo Sheng said with a smile: "It's getting cold, and the restaurant has launched mutton pot and fish head pot. Are you interested in trying it, Your Highness?"

  Wei Qiang couldn't help but glanced at Wei Han's table.

  There is a small red clay stove on the table. The heat in the pot on the small stove is still hot, and the smell of mutton is accompanied by the smell of wine.

  Wei Qiang hesitated for a while, and said: "Then I want a fish head pot, and add a pot of shochu."

  It is very good to eat mutton in late autumn, but it will inevitably smell like mutton after eating, so it is not suitable outside the palace.

  That is, King Kaiyang, I have never seen him be scruples about eating, maybe he has been in the Northland for a long time, and he has acquired the habits of barbarians.

   "Your Highness, wait a moment." Luo Sheng put down a sentence, turned and went to the back kitchen.

   Wei Han squeezed his wine glass, looking thoughtfully at the disappearing plain back.

   Wei Qiang interrupted Wei Han's thinking: "Does Uncle Wang come here to drink every day?"

   Wei Han glanced at him and said calmly, "Come when you want to."

   I just want to come every day.

   "My nephew is very envious of Uncle Wang's free will." Wei Qiang's tone was full of envy that he didn't know whether it was true or not.

   The corners of Wei Han's mouth curled up, and the sneer flashed away: "Your Highness used to be very easygoing, so don't envy me."

   Wei Qiang's expression froze slightly, and anger grew in his heart.

  Will King Kaiyang die if he doesn’t choke on a word?

   It has been a long time since he was mentioned as the son of Prince Pingnan.

   This is also the reason why he is unwilling to return to Pingnan Palace.

  Back there, he would inevitably think of the past that he didn't want to recall.

   Ke Kaiyang King poked people's hearts, making him unable to answer.

  If he denies it, what he just said is tantamount to farting. If he admits it, the trouble will be even greater.

  The prince misses the life he used to be the son of Prince Pingnan. If this is heard by his father, what should he think?

   And obviously what he said was just a polite remark on the wine table.

   Wei Han lowered his eyes and drank the wine in the glass, and slowly picked up a piece of well-stewed mutton and ate it.

  He is nine years younger than the prince, and he grew up listening to the prince's gossip.

  After listening to it, there is only one thought: this elder nephew has too bad character.

  Of course, it's not his turn to teach him a lesson, but it's hard to get him to have a good attitude.

   Wei Han raised his eyes and glanced at the neighboring table, and silently added in his heart: Especially after the crown prince likes to come to Miss Luo's restaurant.

   Turning his eyes to the door leading to the back kitchen, Wei Han thought: Miss Luo is going to serve the prince herself?

  The smell in the kitchen is overflowing, because the pot and stewed vegetables are prepared in advance, Xiuyue is not busy.

  The bearded man was already on his way to pick up Xiaoqi from school, but the strong man responsible for chopping firewood rarely stepped into the kitchen.

  Luo Sheng left the red beans in the courtyard to chat with the strong man, and walked in.

   "Girl—"

  Luo Sheng said calmly, "The prince is here."

  Xiuyue's hand holding the spatula trembled.

  If it is possible, she would like to rush out of the back kitchen and slap that beast to death with the spatula in her hand.

  Luo Sheng didn't speak, but just took a deep look at Xiuyue.

  Xiuyue woke up immediately, and her face regained her calm.

   Luo Sheng was quite satisfied with Xiuyue's restraint, and his tone became more and more flat: "The prince wants to eat fish head pot. Xiugu, you should prepare well."

   "Girl?"

  Luo Sheng raised his lips, and his tone was meaningful: "It is the glory of the restaurant that the prince can come to our restaurant to eat wine, and the prince cannot be neglected."

   "Yes." Xiuyue replied calmly.

  The small red clay stove is just right on the table, and the matching pot is not too big.

  Xiuyue lifted the lid of a large pot, poured the simmering fish soup into the small pot, and then put in the prepared fish heads, fish **** and other ingredients.

   Not long after, fish **** the size of longan floated up in the small pot.

  Put onion and coriander, and then, Xiuyue picked up a porcelain bottle, unscrewed the cap and sprinkled a pinch of powder into it.

  Luo Sheng watched blankly, until the white powder was completely melted into the rich and whitish fish soup, and the fragrance wafting to the nose was even worse, then he pulled the corner of his lips.

   This is a material specially added for Wei Qiang, I hope he likes it.

   With slightly cool fingertips resting on the bracelet on his wrist, Luo Sheng's eyes became even colder.

  The gold-encrusted seven-treasure bracelet that can stir up mountains and rivers is not yet available.

   A Zhennan Prince's Mansion who is charged with treason cannot use this bracelet.

   Regardless of whether she is going to confront the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty or not, the first thing she has to do is to clear the name of the Zhennan Palace.

   To achieve this, it is inseparable from the "cooperation" of Wei Qiang.

  The crime of treason was ordered by Emperor Yong'an, and the decree of Miemen Zhennan Palace was also issued by Emperor Yong'an. It is almost impossible for her to reverse the case for Zhennan Palace if she starts from the side.

  The emperor will not slap himself, unless it is of great personal interest.

   What if the emperor wants to change the prince?

  What could be easier than overturning the case for the Zhennan Palace and pushing the charge of framing the Zhennan Palace to the Pingnan Palace?

  Wei Qiang's crown prince came because of exposing the Zhennan Palace's treason, and naturally he could take it back because of falsely accusing the Zhennan Palace.

  As long as the emperor has the idea of ​​changing the prince, this is a ready-made shortcut.

  At that time, it wasn't that she was trying every means to reverse the case of the Zhennan Palace, but that the emperor was happy to see it done.

  Ten thousand steps back, even if the emperor abandons the crown prince and can't think of falsely accusing Zhennan Palace of the name, at least he can knock Wei Qiang that beast from the cloud into the mire, and clear the charge for Zhennan Palace.

  No matter what the emperor does, it is only the difference between a small gain and a big gain for her, and it is all earned.

  If she threw the poison regardless of the consequences, she would have killed Wei Qiang today, and she would die with him.

  How does the dog life of Kewei Qiang compare with the thousands of lives in the Zhennan Palace? How does it compare with the reputation of the Zhennan Palace for nearly two hundred years?

   To offset this with his life, he doesn't deserve it!

  She wanted him to spit out what he had eaten, and to step on the withered bones of the Zhennan Palace. The prosperous Pingnan Palace was notorious and had nothing.

  The seasoning that Xiuyue sprinkled into the pot is a good thing. It doesn't need to be too much at a time. It can make people who wear a hypocritical mask unknowingly lose control and become irritable and irritable.

  A person with weak self-control and a dirty heart, do you still worry that he will not make mistakes?

  And a crown prince who made mistakes repeatedly is not far away from being hated by the emperor.

  Although the emperor has no heirs, he has more than one brother, King Pingnan, and more than one nephew, Wei Qiang. As the crown prince, Wei Qiang has never been the one who "must have you".

   "Girl, it's done." Xiuyue's calm and warm voice sounded, her eyes were deep.

  Luo Sheng withdrew his thoughts, and called out to Hongdou who was having a lively chat with the strong man: "Hongdou, it's time to serve."

   "Hey." The little girl responded crisply and ran in.
