Where had Ye Changyou ever suffered such a loss?
In Dongye, apart from the Empress Dowager and the Regent, no one dared to treat him like this!
Although he was a puppet, he was still an emperor!
Everyone who met him tried to curry favor with him.
To his surprise, when he arrived in Daqi, he was scolded by a little kid!
In Dongye, children as young as Yuan Yao dared not speak to him.
Not to mention, being mean to him.
"Yuan Yao." Ye Changyou laughed instead of getting angry: "You are really different from the other babies I have seen."
Yuan Yao: "?"
Ye Changyou lifted his long robe and sat down beside Yuan Yao.
He glanced at Yun Chan defiantly: "I joined you not to make enemies, but to be your friends."
I, Your Majesty, do not hold grudges against petty people and am too lazy to argue with you.
Therefore, you have no need to be wary of me…
Yuan Yao listened, finding the words rather sarcastic and cryptic.
This night is long and dark; he really knows how to add drama to his life!
That's all.
I can't be bothered arguing with a primary school kid!
Yuan Yao called out towards the door, "Someone, bring the food!"
Outside the door, Manager Wu had been listening for quite some time...
As soon as Yuan Yao spoke, he immediately brought people in and brought the dishes in.
The freshly processed venison is sliced very thinly, with a bright red color. After being dipped in the boiling pot, it becomes fresh, tender, sweet, and smooth.
The dipping sauce at Baiweilou is exceptionally well-seasoned.
Dip it in the sauce, eat it, and the aroma will linger in your mouth...
Compared to the delicious food, the little fuss just now was nothing!
Besides the venison, the other hot pot ingredients at Baiweilou were also exceptionally fresh…
Several people, to varying degrees, ate until fine beads of sweat appeared on the tips of their noses.
After eating for a while, Ye Changyou said, "Another serving of venison, please!"
The other three people all stopped eating and looked at him.
Yuan Yao's expression was somewhat indescribable.
The night is long and secluded; isn't that quite picky?
Today, I had hot pot with them at the same table, and after finishing a serving of venison, they still complained that it wasn't enough!
Yuan Yao held the chopsticks in her small hands and looked at Ye Changyou: "In Daqi, there is a rule when the emperor and the crown prince dine together."
"What are the rules?" Ye Changyou asked, gripping his chopsticks.
Yuan Yao smiled faintly: "You may not take any dish more than three times."
"Only three bites of each dish?" Ye Changyou asked in surprise, "Isn't this extravagant and wasteful?"
Did the Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty always eat like this?
No wonder the Ninth Prince extorts 50,000 taels of silver from me every month!
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao was somewhat surprised: "Dong Ye doesn't do that?"
Ye Changyou said disdainfully, "Dongye is nothing like you Great Qi people, so wasteful and pretentious!"
Yuan Yao: "..."
Being particular is not being pretentious.
At first, she also felt that it was too wasteful for the emperor to eat hundreds of dishes in one meal.
However, she later learned that the dishes were served using serving chopsticks, and after the emperor tasted them, the dishes would be distributed as rewards, so there was no waste.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with a primary school kid.
Yuan Yao said to Jing'er, "Go and get two more portions of venison."
Jing'er responded and went downstairs.
A moment later, two servings of fresh venison were brought up.
Along with the venison, freshly squeezed apple juice and chilled plum juice were also delivered...
On a snowy day, sitting indoors, eating a steaming hot pot, and then taking a sip of plum juice is both refreshing and cooling!
Happiness is nothing more than this!
Zheng Yihe said, "After a while, the peach blossoms on Mingxia Mountain will bloom."
The mountain is covered with peach blossoms, and below the mountain is a clear blue lake.
"Princess, please remember to go admire the flowers then."
Enjoying peach blossoms?
Yuan Yao's eyes sparkled: "I'll remember! I'll definitely ask my daddy to come with me!"
Just admiring the flowers isn't enough.
Peach blossoms, what a wonderful thing they are!
It can be used not only for appreciation, but also for consumption.
She was craving peach blossom wine.
Unfortunately, she is too young to drink alcohol.
The little boy sighed...
The three of them ate for a while longer.
Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the private room.
With a creak, the door was pushed open.
Xie Zhi stood by the door and said with a smile, "Little Yao'er."
Yuan Yao smiled and waved: "Thank you, Master!"
Xie Zhi strode into the private room.
He was wearing a black brocade robe with fitted sleeves and a fluffy black mink collar.
Once inside the private room, he removed his fur collar, glanced around at everyone present, and said, "It's too cold outside, so I'm going to take you out for some fun."
Passing by Sishi Chun, they told me to come to Baiwei Lou, so I came over.
Yuan Yao looked up and asked, "Have you had lunch yet?"
"I've already eaten."
With a smile, Xie Zhi walked between Yuan Yao and Ye Changyou, pulled up a chair, and squeezed in.
Ye Changyou's grip on the chopsticks tightened.
Xie Zhi then looked at Ye Changyou: "Eh, who is this young master?"
Ye Changyou put down his chopsticks, sat up straight, and said in a hoarse voice, "I am the Emperor of the Eastern Night Kingdom!"
"Oh..." Xie Zhi smiled at him, then turned to look at Yuan Yao: "In a couple of days, I will be hosting a banquet at my residence."
Could you lend me your cook from Si Shi Chun for a bit?
A banquet?
Yuan Yao asked curiously, "What is the Prince of Pingnan's residence planning?"
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "It's the Spring Festival Feast."
“Sure!” Yuan Yao said with a smile, “Just send the order to Si Shi Chun in advance, along with how many chefs you need and what kind of desserts you want.”
"Thank you, Xiao Yao!" Xie Zhi laughed heartily and flicked Yuan Yao's forehead.
After the two finished chatting and laughing intimately, Xie Zhicai greeted Yun Chan and Zheng Yihe.
After finishing, Xie Zhi looked at Yun Chan and said, "I thought you would go back to Chu."
Yun Chan said calmly, "It's freezing cold, I don't want to go through all that trouble."
The round trip covers several thousand miles.
If he returns to the State of Chu, he will not be able to see anyone here for several months.
His gaze shifted slightly, landing on Yuan Yao's face.
Yuan Yao, not understanding, winked at him.
"Smack!"
Ye Changyou slammed his chopsticks down on the table.
Yuan Yao shuddered in fright.
She glared angrily at Ye Changyou: "What's wrong with you now?"
Ye Changyou coldly snorted: "I'm full."
Yuan Yao rolled her eyes at him: "I think you're not just full, you're just bored out of your mind."
Always looking for trouble!
That's so annoying!
At this moment, Xie Zhicai looked at Ye Changyou and asked, "Just now, you said, who are you?"
Ye Changyou: "???"
The night grew long and dark.
Is he, the emperor of a nation, so insignificant?
Ye Changyou slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "And who are you?"
"Me?" Xie Zhi pointed to his nose, his eyes crinkling with a bright smile. "You don't recognize me? How interesting."
I am Xie Zhi, the heir apparent of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Crown Prince?
Ye Changyou considered for a moment, then said coldly, "A mere prince dares to disregard me so much."
Xie Zhi, you are really too presumptuous!
"Someone like you, who doesn't understand hierarchy, would have been dragged out and hacked dozens of times over in Dongye."
Xie Zhi smiled upon hearing this.
He looked at Ye Changyou and smiled provocatively: "Your Majesty the Night Emperor, right? I'm not your subject, so it's normal that I don't know you."
Furthermore, if I really went too far, it's hard to say who would chop whom up!
