Chapter 9 Hot Pot



The restaurant chosen by Mu Li was not as noisy as ordinary taverns. There were many famous flowers and plants placed everywhere in the restaurant, and a musician was invited to play music in the main hall. Ye An deliberately chose a secluded private room. Although it was not as luxurious as the imperial palace, it was brightly lit and unusually elegant.

Mu Li sat on Ye An's right hand, and Mu Ci on his left hand. Since he wanted to pretend to be the stupid son of a landlord, he might as well be generous. Ye An ordered the waiter to bring the wooden sign for ordering dishes and handed it all to Mu Ci. Mu Li felt ignored and pouted unhappily, as if he despised Ye Xiaoan's flattery. However, the person Ye Xiaoan was trying to please was not an outsider but his own brother, so Mu Li became happy again in an instant.

"Brother Mu, you don't have to be polite. You can order anything you want!"

Ye An took a deep breath. It was so pleasant to watch the beauty under the light. When he got closer, he could smell the fresh tea fragrance on Mu Li, but he could not smell Mu Ci.

Qiao Yunting smelled locust flowers, but Yang Shuxuan and Ye An didn't dare to smell them at all. They were very curious about what the smell of Brother Mu was.

I heard that Taifu's family is a scholarly family, so the scent should be either the same as Mu Li's, such as the scent of tea or the scent of ink, right?

Mu Ci lowered his eyes, his gaze wandering over the wooden signs. He had already made up his mind when Mu Li named this restaurant. This restaurant has a thirty-year-old "daughter's red wine", which is older than his eldest brother's. There is also a famous dish called "Three Friends of Winter", which he had only heard his father talk about before. He can order it and try it.

In the Wei Dynasty, Taifu had always been a noble civil servant. In addition, Taifu Mu deliberately exercised restraint, so although the children of the Mu family had a prominent status, they never became drunkards or pleasure-seekers. Mu Li has followed his father since he was a child and obeyed his father's teachings. He seldom goes out to eat and drink. It is only with the help of Ye Xiaoan that he indulges himself a little.

Mu Li thought that this kind of tacit understanding between brothers was natural. His elder brother knew his preferences and might just help him order them without him having to say anything. Mu Ci had finished reading everything and silently took a wooden sign and handed it to the waiter.

Ye An took a quick glance at the words on the wooden sign and was immediately overjoyed. Brother Mu actually ordered hot pot? ? He, he also loves hotpot.

Since he traveled through time, the palace cuisine he ate was basically very light, leaving his mouth tasteless. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak out and try more folk food, but he was kidnapped before he could find a chance. After he was rescued, he invited the Mu brothers to dinner. Ye An thought that they would not have time to pay attention to such a small matter. It was rare that Mu Ci was interested in hot pot, which really pleased him and achieved two goals at one stroke.

No wonder he likes Brother Mu so much, even their preferences are similar.

Ye An said shyly, "I wonder if Brother Mu wants the red pot or the white pot?"

Ye Xiaoan loved spicy food in his previous life, so it would be nice to be able to eat the same red pot with him. But if he couldn't eat the red pot, he could still have a love affair with Brother Mu.

Mu Ci said briefly: "Red."

Ye An's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he wanted to spin around: "I, I am also a red pot. It turns out that Brother Mu and I are so predestined to be together."

Mu Li didn't expect his brother to not play by the rules. Ye Xiaoan told them to do as they pleased, but how could they eat such tacky hotpot in a restaurant? The whole place smells terrible once it’s cooked, so how can he order the famous dish “Three Friends of Winter”!

——Because Grand Tutor Mu usually does not allow eating hotpot in the Grand Tutor’s Mansion, Mu Ci is just the same as Mu Li. I also want to let some fresh air out. Besides, the eldest brother is not as particular as his younger brothers. Can’t he order what he wants to eat himself?

Mu Ci loves his younger brother, but he won't spoil him in everything.

Mu Li winked at his brother, but his brother showed no intention of changing. Ye Xiaoan was overjoyed. It was obvious that he was also a hot pot lover. Mu Li trembled his lips and struggled desperately: "What should I do? I can't eat spicy food..."

"A-Li can't eat spicy food?" Ye An said with regret, "Then we should order a double-flavored hotpot... Oh, I want a small, round pot with a white pot in the middle. Do you have any?"

The waiter laughed, "Customers will understand at a glance. We do have it, but it's usually half and half."

Ye An said as a matter of course: "Brother Mu and I are going to have a red pot, so of course we have to have a bigger one."

Mu Li had no choice but to order some porridge and side dishes to avoid starving to death. The food in the restaurant was ready-made, and the hot pot was served soon. Mu Li ate the bland white pot with aggrieved look on his face. Seeing Ye Xiaoan and his brother eating the meat slices from the red hot pot, Mu Li felt a burning pain in his back. Ye Xiaoan was really a shameful existence... and of course his elder brother too.

Ye An was extremely satisfied with the meal. He pretended not to know that he had just secretly eaten the meatballs that Mu Ci had prepared, and Mu Ci had no intention of pursuing the matter. They both ate spicy food, but his cheeks turned red and he was sweating. His lips had lost feeling and were a little swollen, while Mu Ci's thin lips were only slightly rosy.

Ye Xiaoan was in a good mood. He didn't expect that Brother Mu was both talented in literature and martial arts, and was also a great eater of spicy food. This was called having a common language. The silly son of the landlord thought secretly that after Brother Mu entered the palace, the two of them could eat hot pot in the palace!

While eating, Ye An roughly observed Mu Ci's preferences. Brother Mu, such a handsome and extraordinary person, actually ate everything and was not picky about food, while Mu Li only ate porridge and side dishes.

Ye An thought about it and asked the restaurant to make a few chicken legs and send them over. There are chicken legs in the restaurant, but they are very expensive. However, Ye Xiaoan has plenty of money, so he wants to order some chicken legs for Brother Mu.

Mu Li was young and shy, and he was arrogant. He wanted to eat but didn't dare to move. Mu Ci deftly removed all the chicken thigh meat with just a pair of chopsticks and ate it all elegantly.

Ye Xiaoan was so stunned that he even forgot to eat his own portion.

Mu Li took the opportunity to show off: "What do you think, my brother is awesome, right?"

Ye An nodded hurriedly.

Mu Ci is a man of few words, especially during meals, but Mu Li is a chatterbox and a brother-obsessed person. He would reveal his brother's secrets during a casual chat.

"...My brother is a man of both civil and military talents. Looking around, there are few people in the entire imperial city who can compare to him. What's a mere chicken leg? Last time, it was the court official who offered a reward of 1,000 taels of gold to a notorious thief. It was also my brother who took action, but in the end, he didn't receive a penny."

Mu Li described the scene vividly, and when he spoke of the wonderful parts, it was as if he had seen them with his own eyes.

"A Li." Mu Ci put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly.

Mu Li hurriedly said, "Brother, I was wrong. Xiao An doesn't know your situation. I just mentioned it casually. Xiao An won't spread it around."

Ye Xiaoan assured: "Don't worry, Brother Mu, I won't tell anyone."

…I’ll just keep it in mind.

Brother Mu's nickname is Huaixuan. He is only twenty years old, talented in both civil and military affairs, and has good character and appearance. After he enters the palace, he will definitely be able to help him a lot.

By the way, will Brother Mu fuck him in the future?

Ye An: “…”

Ye An choked because of the spiciness, and he kept crying and coughing.

Mu Li exclaimed: "Ye Xiaoan, why did you suddenly become like this?"

Ye An said in embarrassment: "... choked, choked."

Mu Li didn't know what to do except pat him on the back, so Mu Ci handed him a glass of water.

Actually, the choking was not a big deal, it was mainly because of the spicy taste. Drinking water can't relieve the spiciness, but Ye An didn't care. He drank it all without hesitation and found that it was sweet when he took a sip.

Drinking water alone cannot relieve the spiciness, but sugar water can.

Ye An remembered that Mu Ci had asked for this water but had not drunk it, so he thought it was for emergency use.

He finally stopped coughing and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Mu!"

Mu Ci couldn't help but curl his lips: "Are you going to continue?"

Oh my god! Brother Mu actually spoke to him and smiled at him. This time his ears and eyes were pregnant!

Ye Xiaoan blushed and nodded with a fearless attitude, thinking that Brother Mu was such a good person, he would definitely not want to fuck him. It's not easy to get out of the palace, so stop thinking about anything else and just eat your fill first.

Mu Li couldn't understand why Ye Xiaoan could still eat even though he was gasping for breath from the spiciness. He felt full just from the strong smell of the hotpot, so he asked the waiter to bring a fan and fanned himself repeatedly to get rid of some of the smell.

Mu Ci commented with a smile: "Pretentious."

Mu Li's face turned slightly red. His elder brother always knew how to bully him. He wanted to be more dignified in front of his new friends. What's wrong with that!

Ye An estimated that the time was about right, so he tried to smooth things over by saying, "A-Li doesn't like spicy food, so next time we get together, let's eat something else."

Mu Li had just made a friend, and when he heard Ye Xiaoan's words as if they were about to part, he couldn't help but ask, "Is Xiaoan leaving now?"

"Well, I came out to play secretly without telling my family. My father already knows I'm here and will send someone to pick me up."

Ye An told the Mu brothers that his family used to be in the silk business in other places and had only recently moved to the imperial city. Mu Li believed it without a doubt.

"Next time..." Mu Li put down his chopsticks and rubbed his hands uncomfortably: "I don't know if I'm still here."

Ye An said confidently: "How could he not be here? We will definitely meet again in the future."

"Forget it. You won't understand even if I tell you."

Mu Li felt a little irritated when he thought of the sad things. His expression darkened and he seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Ye An said puzzledly: "But you didn't say anything, how would I know?"

Mu Ci also put down his chopsticks and silently patted his brother's shoulder.

I was speechless for a moment.

Ye An's estimation was not wrong. Not long after, An Yi disguised himself as a servant and entered the restaurant to pick someone up.

Ye An quickly paid the bill and waved to the Mu brothers: "Ali, Brother Mu, see you next time!"

Mu Li also waved like him: "Xiao An, goodbye."

Mu Ci's gaze fell on the disguised An Yi. He could see that this man walked steadily and had a very deep foundation in martial arts. How could Ye Xiaoan's family have such a servant?

But when it comes to Ye Xiaoan himself, Mu Ci thinks of the young man who was crying because of the spicy food but was still trying to smile. Although he is a little silly, he should not be a person with ulterior motives.

Mu Ci himself didn't realize that, because of Ye Xiaoan's silliness, he curled the corners of his lips again.
