Chapter 390 Mother-in-law meets son-in-law
Qin Lingshu smiled when he saw this, "Speaking of which, the eldest prince is getting married soon, and it will definitely be a grand wedding. I will definitely go to join in the fun and ask for a glass of wedding wine."
"For such a happy event, we naturally have to invite the emperor's uncle." Qin Peiyuan frowned, "But right now, Concubine Gong hanged herself in the palace, and my father is angry about this."
"Although this concubine's suicide is a serious crime, my father intends to hold a secret funeral and does not want to delay my marriage with Uncle Jia, but Concubine Gong is a concubine in the harem after all, so we have to take some considerations. This wedding must be kept simple."
When mentioning this matter, Qin Peiyuan felt very upset.
Since being demoted, Concubine Gong has been living an unhappy life in the palace. Moreover, the Queen, because she was angry at Qin Peiheng for implicating Qin Peiyuan, not only did she not take good care of her, but made things difficult for her everywhere.
However, it will not lead to the situation where they go hungry or cold.
In fact, if Concubine Gong had been obedient, she would have been able to survive and, if she had endured a few more years, when he became the crown prince or even the emperor, he could have rescued her and let her live a few glorious lives.
But she didn't do that.
Not only did he not obey the Queen's advice to behave himself, but he cried and cursed day and night, and now he has even committed such a heinous act as committing suicide.
And it happened to happen just before he was going to marry Yan Siying.
Qin Peiyuan had reason to believe that she did it on purpose.
Deliberately using a funeral to disrupt his happy event.
It really has to be said that with a narrow-minded mother like Gong Jieyu, it is no wonder that Qin Peiheng is so unimproving and resorts to such means that can be easily discovered.
Seeing the growing anger on Qin Peiyuan's face, King Qin Lingshu of Yue had a hint of barely perceptible joy in his eyes, and then he drooped his eyelids, "Things in the world are unpredictable, Your Highness should not take it too seriously."
"And at this time, it would be better for Your Highness to focus on your own affairs, so that the Emperor can see the diligent and down-to-earth side of the First Prince."
"Yes." Qin Peiyuan nodded, "Uncle Huang is right."
"In addition, Your Highness must also practice riding and archery diligently in your spare time. After the palace examination, the emperor always goes to the spring search. You have always been much better than the third prince in this regard. Perform well this time and make the emperor happy." Qin Lingshu reminded.
"Thank you for the reminder, uncle."
When talking about the spring search, Qin Peiyuan couldn't help but straighten his back.
Just as the King of Yue said, Qin Peiyou was obsessed with poetry and books, and looked like a weak scholar who couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands. This aspect was indeed the time for Qin Peiyuan to shine.
"You're welcome." Qin Lingshu smiled.
The two walked side by side. -- In February, when spring was getting stronger, the spring rain began to fall in the morning and lasted for two days and two nights. It was not until noon that day that the sky cleared up.
In the evening, the sun sets, the ground is damp, and the air is filled with a deep chill.
This kind of weather...
It's best to eat a steaming hot meal with soup and vegetables.
However, there was nothing new in the usual hotpot, so after thinking about it, Su Yujin started to make maocai.
The key to the delicious taste of maocai lies in the secret seasoning.
The uniquely fried red oil, pepper oil, ground pepper powder, pepper powder, peanut butter, minced garlic, vinegar... a variety of strong spices are mixed together and poured into the soup base used to cook the ingredients, then the cooked ingredients are added and sprinkled with white sesame seeds...
The spicy and fragrant taste filled the air, causing everyone to lick their lips.
Based on the principle that everything can be cooked, Su Yujin put all the ingredients in the small kitchen, such as quail eggs, bean curd, lotus root slices, kelp, mutton slices, fish balls...
Su Yunruo felt dazzled when looking at the bowl full of food. She finally picked up the lotus root slices and fish balls and put them into her mouth.
The fish balls are springy and smooth, the meat filling inside is rich and juicy, and the lotus root slices are crispy and refreshing, all of which are delicious.
The most important thing is the spicy taste at the beginning and the numbing aftertaste, all of which stimulate her taste buds and make her appetite increase.
"It's delicious." Su Yunruo praised repeatedly, "Sister Jin's cooking skills are really amazing."
Then he added, "This maocai is the most delicious dish I have ever eaten!"
Seeing that Su Yujin and Su Yunruo were both enjoying the meal, Lu was eager to try it herself. However, when she saw the chili peppers and the red oil floating in the pot, she hesitated, "Is it very spicy?"
She can't eat spicy food.
"It's a little spicy, but not too spicy. It has a spicy and fragrant taste, and is very appetizing." Su Yunruo replied with a smile.
Su Yujin scooped out some mutton slices and bean curd for Lu, "Auntie, try it, it tastes good. If you find it spicy, drink some of this."
As he spoke, Su Yujin pushed the bowl next to him.
In the bowl was the sour plum soup made by Su Yujin using plums, which was the best for relieving greasiness and spiciness.
Hearing Su Yujin say this, Lu plucked up the courage to take a bite.
The indescribable wonderful taste gradually spreads on the tip of the tongue...
Lu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he fished out the bean curd sheets and duck blood.
So delicious! …
There were no outsiders around, so the three of them ate heartily. A full pot of maocai was not enough, so they asked Mother Liu to cook half a pot more.
Only when the three of them could eat no more did they put down their chopsticks.
But I didn’t forget to have a bowl of sour plum soup at the end to soothe my extremely spicy mouth.
People often feel sleepy after eating and drinking too much.
But they were so full after eating so much tonight that the three of them walked back and forth in the yard and took a stroll.
But before he had taken two steps, there was a noise outside.
Without waiting for Ai Cao to go over and check, He Yanxiu stepped into the yard covered in moonlight.
His tall figure looked even more upright under the moonlight, and there was a gentle smile on his face after not seeing him for a long time. Especially after seeing Su Yujin, the smile on his face became even gentler.
Su Yujin's eyes also lit up.
He Yanxiu is here! Speaking of which, it has been more than a month since He Yanxiu returned to Beijing.
The longing had already brewed into wine in my mind and heart, and when we met again, I was already a little tipsy.
but……
Lu and Su Yunruo were present.
Su Yujin resisted the urge to give He Yanxiu a bear hug, and reminded He Yanxiu, "I was just talking about the Second Master with Auntie and Ruoruo, and I didn't expect him to be here right now."
He Yanxiu understood, and after smiling at Su Yujin again and again, he bowed to Lu and Su Yunruo, "Mrs. Su, Miss Su."
"Congratulations, sir." Both Mrs. Lu and Su Yunruo bowed.
"Madam, you don't have to be polite. Yan Xiu is a junior and I dare not be arrogant in front of you. Just call me Yan Xiu."
After Su Wenxuan returned to Beijing, he went to find He Yanxiu and explained the matter of the Su family's recognition of relatives.
Since Madam Su is Su Yujin's aunt, she is also his aunt.
Naturally, Lu had already learned from Su Wenxuan about the current relationship between He Yanxiu and Su Yujin. Seeing that He Yanxiu was handsome, humble and polite, she smiled and nodded.
