Xia Lin replied, "All government affairs have been handled, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that your Majesty doesn't seem to be in a good mood, and I don't dare to ask."
Qi Pan frowned, feeling a little worried.
Not in a good mood?
What's going on?
What happened?
Could it be that something happened during the day she was away from the palace that she didn't know about?
It seems that she will have to go to Brother Zheng to ask him tomorrow.
Early the next morning.
After getting up, Qi Pan packed up and went straight to the palace.
After the morning court was dismissed, he asked Ying Zheng directly.
"Brother, did something happen to you yesterday?"
"ah?"
Ying Zheng looked up in confusion: "Master, why do you ask?"
Qi Pan said, "Yesterday you asked Xia Lin to send me some sweet soup to cool me down."
"I didn't go to the palace yesterday, and I missed you a little."
"I saw you weren't in a very good mood during the court meeting just now. Did something happen yesterday?"
Qi Pan looked at Ying Zheng seriously, with a worried look on his face.
"Brother, if there is anything, you must tell me."
"Don't hide it from me."
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.
Just now the Imperial Master said... that he missed him a little?
Ying Zheng's heart was a little excited.
The dullness of yesterday seemed to disappear completely in an instant because of Qi Pan's words.
And Xia Lin standing aside.
When Qi Pan just opened his mouth to say that he went to the Imperial Master's Mansion yesterday to deliver sweet soup.
His heart was lifted up.
I was afraid that Qi Pan would say directly that it was he who said that His Majesty was in a bad mood.
Fortunately, fortunately.
Fortunately, the national teacher didn't say it out loud.
Charlene reached out and wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from her forehead.
Ying Zheng looked at Qi Pan in front of him, and a rare bright smile appeared on his face.
"I just thought of some things and felt a little depressed."
"However, what the Imperial Master said just now actually made me feel relieved instantly."
"It comforts me greatly to have the Imperial Master care about me so much."
Seeing Ying Zheng’s bright smile, Qidan’s mood couldn’t help but improve.
She didn't ask any further questions, but said.
"I hope it's nothing serious."
"By the way, brother, there are many lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond in my house."
"After you finish your government affairs, come to my house to enjoy the lotus."
"I said before that I would take you to appreciate and pick lotus flowers."
"Oh, by the way, we can also make lotus leaf chicken!"
Lotus leaf chicken?
This was the first time Ying Zheng had heard of this word.
He asked, "Master, what is this lotus leaf chicken...?"
Qi Pan said: "Lotus leaf chicken is a delicacy."
"First, clean the chicken and marinate it with seasoning."
“Stuff the chicken’s belly with seasonings and then wrap it with fresh lotus leaves.”
"After wrapping it layer by layer, add a thick layer of mud."
"Then bury the whole chicken in the burning charcoal."
“Once you smell the fragrance, you can dig it out.”
"Break through the yellow mud, uncover the lotus leaf, and you'll find a perfect lotus leaf chicken."
"Lotus leaf chicken not only has the fragrance of lotus leaves, but also has a charming aroma after being marinated with spices and grilled."
“It tastes so good! The meat is so tender and smooth!”
Ying Zheng was not a person who cared about food.
However, after hearing what Qi Pan said, he couldn't wait to try the taste of the lotus leaf chicken.
More importantly, the imperial teacher invited him to his house to appreciate the lotus and eat lotus leaf chicken.
It was the Imperial Master who personally invited him.
Moreover, this lotus leaf chicken must have been made by the national master himself.
What makes him happiest is being able to eat food made by the national master himself.
Ying Zheng responded readily: "Okay!"
"Then I will return to the palace with the Imperial Master after I finish handling government affairs."
"That's perfect. We can have lunch in the pavilion in the lotus pond."
"It's a nice mood to enjoy the lotus while eating."
Qi Pan also nodded happily: "Okay!"
The two of them made the decision happily.
Then they all lowered their heads and focused on handling the government affairs at hand.
Sit aside.
Wang Wan was sitting nearby.
He didn't feel comfortable saying it, but he wanted to go too.
I was just thinking about what Qi Pan had just said about how to make lotus leaf chicken.
It’s okay if you don’t go.
He could go to the Imperial Master's residence another day and ask the Imperial Master for a few lotus leaves.
Then he brought it back to his house and asked his chef to try to cook it.
I think the taste won’t be too bad.
Rounding it off, it means he ate lotus leaf chicken with His Majesty and the Imperial Master.
Thinking of this, Wang Wan quickly dealt with the government affairs at hand.
While they were busy, Fusu arrived.
"Father!"
Fusu strode in from outside the hall.
"Father, Imperial Master."
After Fusu bowed to Ying Zheng and Qi Pan, he bowed to Wang Wan.
Ying Zheng asked with some confusion: "What are you doing here?"
"ah?"
Fusu said, "Father, I came to see you, the Imperial Preceptor."
"I am your son, so why don't I come to see you?"
Fusu stared with a somewhat aggrieved look, then moved closer to Qipan.
"Grandmaster, why didn't you come to the palace yesterday?"
"I wanted to play with you, but I didn't see you."
Qi Pan said, "I rested in the mansion yesterday."
"What? What do you want to play with me?"
