Chapter Seven Hundred and Seventy Fourth There Is No End

The old butler, who has always collapsed in front of Mount Tai without changing his color, has a complicated expression on his face, some anxious, some surprised, some excited, and a little bit apprehensive. Perhaps because he was in a hurry, there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

"What's wrong?" Someone came to raid the house? The latter sentence is not auspicious. Today is the festival, Gu Ye didn't dare to say it in a joking tone.

The old butler took a deep breath and spoke a little faster than usual: "The emperor and the fourth prince are here!"

"?"

"..."

"!"

Gu Ye was speechless. The father and son, who came at this time, had an obvious purpose. They were here for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet! The Mid-Autumn Festival banquets here are all at noon and worship the moon at night.

"Who is entertaining outside?" This heavyweight father and son should not be neglected!

"No one!" This was the reason why the old housekeeper was anxious. The emperor and the future crown prince are here, even if they come in small clothes, they should be greeted by the whole family, but now...

"Where's Grandpa Ling?" Since his triumphant return last time, the frontier has been peaceful, and Mr. Ling has been staying in Beijing. During the epidemic, he was afraid that the soldiers he brought back would have an accident. In the army, one stay is two months.

Fortunately, this old man is in charge. Otherwise, some thorny young generals in the army may hear that there is an epidemic in the capital, worry about their family members, and try to sneak back to Beijing. If there is one or two cases of infection in the fifty thousand army, it will be troublesome!

The old butler replied, "The old general went out early in the morning with a few boxes of moon cakes, saying he was visiting some old buddies."

"Where's Brother Chen? Haven't come back from the palace at this time?" Gu Ye couldn't help scolding the royal family for two weeks of skinning, and the Mid-Autumn Festival would not be a holiday. Their grandfathers are better, sneak out of the palace and let Brother Chen work for them in the palace!

The old butler shook his head: If the young master comes back, then it will be easy!

"Where's Auntie Rong?" Gu Ye thought of Princess Ronghe, who was her own brother and nephew, and she would come forward to entertain her, and no one could fault it!

The old butler patted his head: Yes! The eldest princess is in the mansion, how could he forget about this? The old butler turned around neatly, and trotted quickly towards the eldest princess' yard with legs and feet that didn't match his age.

The emperor and the fourth prince are now sitting leisurely in the living room of the outer courtyard, tasting the special refreshments of Prince Ning's mansion! For tea, they don't care much. As for dim sum, they are moon cakes with delicate appearance and a wide variety of varieties.

"Huh? It's actually stuffed with fruit! I didn't expect that the stuffing of mooncakes can be done the same way!" The emperor squeezed a snowskin mooncake.

The fourth prince eats a sweet ham, the meat is distinct and the taste is complex, very unique and delicious. He smiled and said: "Father, how is it? Did you make a mistake this time?"

"These moon cakes must be the masterpiece of Princess Protector!" The emperor glanced at Ling Chao, who was waiting on the side, waiting to verify his guess.

Ling Chao appeared calm in front of the emperor and the fourth prince, but his palms were actually sweating. Hearing the emperor's words, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor. These moon cakes were indeed conceived by Miss Ye'er!"

The emperor gave his son a look of "Look, I guessed right?", then took a piece of moon cake and tasted it carefully, and said with a bit of pride: "The princess protecting the country, which I have named, not only won the hall, but also Get down to the kitchen."

"I also made a spirit medicine and cured the disease!" The fourth prince added on his behalf.

"Many thanks to the emperor and the fourth prince for their praise!" Gu Ye and the eldest princess appeared in the living room together.

The emperor swallowed the moon cake in his mouth, took a sip of tea, and cleared his throat before saying, "Princess Huguo deserves this compliment."

Gu Ye humbled himself for a few words, and chatted with him for a while, then got up and said: "Your Majesty, Aunt Rong, you two brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for many years. Let's talk about old times. I'll go to the kitchen to have a look and ask Aunt Yan to add some new dishes. "

"This prince also wants to see and see, who is the master chef who can make such amazing delicacies..." The fourth prince rarely came out to let the wind out, and always wanted to get out of the eyes of his father.

"The gentleman is far away from the kitchen. There is smoke in the kitchen, fourth prince, you..."

Before Gu Ye finished his words, the fourth prince said, "No problem! It is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. If this prince can't even overcome this difficulty in the kitchen, how can he help the father and the emperor in the future?"

Gu Ye rolled his eyes in his heart, and he said it in a high-sounding manner, who knows what the hell is going on in your heart! Can't beat the fourth prince, when Gu Ye returned to the small kitchen, there was a little tail behind him!

Mid-Autumn Festival is the time to eat shrimp and crab. Qingfenglou just delivered two baskets of fresh crayfish and plump crabs. Crayfish is Gu Ye's favorite, made into her lively spicy and minced garlic.

The crabs were steamed and salt-baked, each made a plate. The crab roe is taken out and made into "Crab Roe Tofu", "Crab Roe Chicken Sauce Fish Maw", "Crab Roe Lion's Head" and "Crab Roe Sea Cucumber".

The other dishes are also Gu Ye's favorite. There are "braised pork", "Dongpo elbow", "sweet and sour pork", "sweet and sour pork ribs", "pearl balls"... This little girl is a carnivore, and meat dishes account for the vast majority of the dishes prepared.

Coincidentally, it also met the appetite of the emperor and the fourth prince. For more than two months, the father and son have been eating health-preserving medicinal meals, and they have been suspicious of life. Seeing this table of food is like a homeless man who has been hungry for three days and sees a table of delicious food. That food... it's unbearable to look straight at!

The three masters of Prince Ning's mansion and a future master calmly ate a sumptuous Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, pretending that the most honorable father and son in the world did not exist.

After three rounds of drinking... No, this father and son are recuperating and can't drink alcohol, so let's replace it with "three rounds of rice"! Emperor Shengde finally took care of his face and resumed his reserved manners in the palace. He saw his iceberg nephew who kept peeling shrimp and crabs for the little girl. He was extremely considerate!

I couldn't help but feel a little bit of emotion in my heart: When this iceberg opened up, it was really a big change! Emperor Shengde looked at the little four next to him with oily hands, peeling the crayfish "brutally", with a bit of disgust and envy in his eyes. He is the king of a country, and he always has to take into account a certain amount of face. Peeling this shrimp...it's really not very elegant.

Fortunately, Eunuch Xing, who had served him for many years, understood his intentions, washed his hands and clumsily helped the emperor to peel the shrimp shells. At first, it didn't make sense, and the peeled shrimp was a little appalling. Later, he learned to be obedient, and while peeping at King Ning's shrimp peeling technique, he studied hard, and soon he would be able to peel a complete shrimp.

Emperor Shengde glanced at him approvingly, and then looked at the fourth prince with a bit of resentment - it is better to raise a dog than to raise a child! I only care about myself, and I don't know how to peel one for my father.

Emperor Shengde had never seen crayfish before, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is this kind of shrimp from the south? It tastes delicious!"

Gu Ye opened his mouth and asked Brother Chen to feed the peeled shrimp into her mouth. Hearing this, he said casually: "No. There are small ditches everywhere, so it's very easy to catch! Brother Chen, when are you free to accompany me to fish for lobsters!"

"You can go whenever you want!" Ling Juechen's eyes lightly swept over the Fourth Prince, then lowered his head and continued to dig crab roe for the little girl. What I thought in my heart was that crab meat is cold, and the little girl can't let her eat it again after eating this crab roe...

The Fourth Prince felt a chill behind his back, and then he patted his forehead and muttered in a low voice, "I don't have a fever, why is it suddenly cold? Sister-in-law, help me diagnose my pulse and see if I am sick? "

Gu Ye stretched out his hand, grabbed his wrist, and quickly threw it away with disgust: "Your health is very good! I'll go back and adjust your diet for you, except for the blood-enriching medicated diet, you can stop everything else. !"

"So, I can almost eat normally?" The Fourth Prince was extremely overjoyed.

Gu Ye nodded and said, "However, you still need to have a balanced diet. You can't be picky and partial, or overeating. Even healthy people will get sick if they eat unhealthy for a long time!"

Before waiting for the fourth prince's joy to come up, Ling Juechen's voice was like a bowl of ice water, pouring it on his head: "Seeing the fourth prince's health, it should be alright to go to court and read the memorial, right?"

Gu Ye nodded and said forcefully, "Of course! As long as you don't exercise too vigorously, you'll be fine!"

"Oh! I'm a little dizzy, and I don't have the strength... This half-year recuperation period is only half over. I think I still need to recuperate for some more days..." The fourth prince looked weak and powerless. Appearance, holding his head, sitting body, swaying.

The sweet and sour pork ribs in Gu Ye's hands were crunching, and with a pretty face, he stared at the fourth prince coldly: "Continue your performance! The full moon! The fourth prince's condition seems to be repeated, prepare for it. , I will give him a new blood exchange operation in the afternoon, and continue to drink the blood-enriching decoction! In the future, I can only eat medicated meals, fruits, snacks, and snacks, all of which must be quit. Bedridden for three months, daily injections..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Sister-in-law, I'm wrong, I'm pretending, isn't it? From tomorrow, I'll go to court with my cousin to help with government affairs. Is this the head office?"

The fourth prince was so frightened that his face turned pale, and hurriedly confessed. Oops! It's really scary to have a cousin who is skilled in medicine and bullies people with her medical skills! It is a hundred times more terrifying than cousin Ning Wang!

Emperor Shengde smiled and looked at his little fourth, fighting with Ye'er girl, happily watching him lose. Pretending to be sick in front of the little genius doctor, isn't it looking for abuse?

He sandwiched a piece of braised pork that was fat and thin, and ate it with relish. Well, the craftsmanship of the cook under Ye'er girl is really extraordinary. This braised pork is even more authentic than the ones in Qingfeng Lou!

Emperor Shengde chatted with the old general about the frontier customs for a while, contacted his sister-in-law for a while, and stopped from time to time to watch the "children" quarrel...
