"By the way, you have to go too, otherwise you can go with dad."

"Well, forget it. Liuli is the prince's biological sister. I must be with Liuli. It may not be convenient to be with my father-in-law."

Fu Wenhan suddenly understood what he said, nodded and said, "Xiuzhu, you are right, you are still thoughtful."

"In that case, let's go separately."

"By the way, Dad heard that you and the prince have been very close recently, what's going on?"

"Have you already lined up?"

Li Xiuzhu nodded and said, "My father has set his sights on me. If I can't make peace with the crown prince, His Majesty will probably abandon me."

Li Xiuzhu first used "father" and then "Your Majesty", which meant that the imperial family is the most ruthless.

Fu Wenhan frowned.

"How could that be? Your Majesty is in his prime, and even if you were to take sides, you shouldn't side with the Crown Prince, right? The Crown Prince..."

"Did you misunderstand His Majesty?"

Li Xiuzhu shook his head and asked, "Your Majesty asked me to complete the construction of the Grand Canal within six months. Don't you have any doubts?"

"The prince attempted rebellion and caused Your Majesty to be injured, but he was only confined for a period of time. Isn't this unusual?"

"I fought hard to suppress the rebellion, but when I came back I was stripped of my military power. Is this normal?"

"So, your majesty should be dying soon, and he is willing to let the crown prince ascend the throne."

Li Xiuzhu's questions stunned Fu Wenhan, but if the premise was that His Majesty would not live long, then everything would be reasonable.

Hiss~Is the situation so tense now?

The Grand Canal is the achievement that Your Majesty has left for yourself in history books.

Fu Wenhan suddenly patted Li Xiuzhu on the shoulder and said seriously: "I believe in your judgment. If you need my help, just ask."

"While we are still alive."

Li Xiuzhu understood the meaning of Fu Wenhan's words, and smiled and said, "It's not as complicated as my father-in-law thinks. The prince and I are in our honeymoon period now. Even if the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely not do anything to me."

"What's more, Liuli is the prince's biological sister. Both the queen and the prince will care about her to some extent."

Fu Wenhan nodded when he heard this, and looked at Li Xiuzhu and said seriously: "You must be on guard against others. You have a big family behind you."

"Yes, father-in-law, I understand."

His father-in-law was right, he had a family of women behind him, he couldn't just rely on the prince's friendship.

The imperial family is the most ruthless. Not to mention the love between brothers and sisters, even the love between father and son is useless.

As for the Crown Princess, what if it was an act? It is not impossible that she was trying to make him careless.

However, he also had a backup plan. Cheng Xin had been hypnotized by him using the soul-transferring technique. As long as the prince showed his intention to get rid of Li Xiuzhu in front of him, Cheng Xin would leave a secret code where he lived.

Time went back to the banquet. Li Xiuzhu took a look at today's dishes and praised: "Yun Shuang has surpassed her teacher."

"This dish of braised spareribs with pumpkin puree smells so delicious that it makes people want to try it. And these are all dishes that I didn't teach her."

"And this dish of stir-fried pork belly with dried bamboo shoots is the first time I've seen it."

Li Xiuzhu's words brought a smile to Fu Yunshuang's face who was sitting next to him.

"My brother-in-law is really amazing. If he hadn't taught me how to make it and prepared so many condiments, I wouldn't have been able to make it even if I had the idea in my head."

"Haha, that's because you have talent, Yunshuang."

Seeing the two of them preparing to start praising each other in business, Fu Yuehua couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said, "Stop praising each other and eat."

"Yes, yes, the Orb is hungry."

Fu Yanyu didn't dare to say anything. She glanced at her second sister with a smile, thinking that Baozhu had offended her second sister again.

But before she could scoop some for Li Xiuzhu, she saw Yun Shuang had already scooped some for her husband.

She glared at the embarrassed Fu Yunshuang with amusement, then scooped another cup for Baozhu, and Fu Yunshuang also scooped another cup for Yanyu.

Then the two of them scooped themselves a cup and sat down.

As soon as Fu Yuehua took a bite of pumpkin puree, her eyes suddenly lit up.

But before she could start praising, the two girls at the side started first.

"Wow, the pumpkin you made is so delicious, can you make it for us every day in the future?"

Fu Yanyu was also eating happily, but her requirements were relatively small.

"Second sister can... No, it's fine if you cook it for us once every three days. Yanyu really likes eating pumpkin!"

Fu Yunshuang never got used to them at all.

"It depends on my mood. I'll do it for you when I'm in a good mood."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Suddenly, Fu Yanyu's eyes lit up, and she looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked, "Brother-in-law, can you come more often?"

Suddenly Fu Yunshuang's face turned red and she glared at Fu Yanyu fiercely.

Fu Wenhan, Chen and Fu Yuehua also couldn't help laughing.

Li Xiuzhu smiled awkwardly... Children speak without restraint, what can he do? Fu Wenhan also smiled rarely and said, "Yanyu is right, Xiuzhu, you still have to come to our house often, otherwise we won't be able to eat many dishes cooked by Yunshuang."

Fu Yunshuang immediately refused to do so. Didn’t they usually eat the dishes she tasted?

"Mother, look at father, he always bullies me."

"Well, your father is not wrong, though."

"Yeah, I'm not going to bother with you guys anymore. I'm full."

Seeing Yun Shuang wanted to leave in anger, Li Xiuzhu hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't run. You have to eat well during the New Year, otherwise you will be hungry for the whole year."

"Sit down and be good."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu put a chicken wing into Fu Yunshuang's bowl.

"Oh~" Fu Yunshuang, who was about to leave, sat down with shame, and ate the chicken in silence without even raising her head.

Such a scene made the two elders and Fu Yuehua laugh so hard that they were numb.

The two little guys looked at each other in confusion, and said to Li Xiuzhu while eating pumpkin soup, "Brother-in-law, I want to eat chicken wings too."

"Brother-in-law, I want one too."

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."

After Li Xiuzhu picked up two chicken wings for the two little guys, he also shamelessly tasted the pumpkin soup.

It has a sweet fragrance with a hint of saltiness and a mellow meaty flavor.

This is a pig raised at home. It no longer smells smelly, and the pig is not very big. The meat is still fresh and fragrant.

The ribs are fried first, giving them the charred flavor of barbecued meat, but without the heavy taste.

Pumpkin soup is made with pumpkin puree. Every bite has the mellow aroma of pumpkin. The slight salty taste not only does not take away the sweetness of the pumpkin, but complements it and makes the pumpkin sweeter.

It’s delicious. If such a dish is put in a tire restaurant in the future, the starting price will be at least three hundred yuan.

Of course, it can be sold at a higher price now. If it is sold in Yunzhu Tower, you can forget about selling this dish without two taels of silver.

What does two taels of silver mean? Two thousand yuan for a dish.
