Murong Che's face turned pale at that moment.
He reacted very quickly, pulling his hand back and taking several steps back.
Then he turned and ran.
All the wolves in the iron cage ran out and started chasing him.
"Ahhh, stop chasing me!"
“Help!”
"Empress Zhen, Madam Zhen, I don't want them anymore, please send them away!"
"!!!"
Murong Che ran and ran, shouting as he ran, and the noble prince's temperament he had before was completely gone.
The adult wolves behind him kept chasing, gnashing their teeth as they went, with mockery in their ferocious eyes.
The crowd watching: "..."
It is clear that Prince Che is in a miserable state.
For some reason, they just thought it was kind of funny.
But you can’t laugh, you have to hold it in!
"Okay, stop chasing, let's all go back!"
At Si Muqiao's command, the wolves really stopped chasing and obediently returned to the iron cages and lay down.
The Empress Dowager and others looked on in amazement.
Murong Chuan, Huo Sang, Hao Meiren and others had faces full of admiration.
Only Murong Che had unhappiness written all over his body!
It's shameful, so shameful!
He couldn't help but raised his foot and was about to leave, but inadvertently saw Murong Qingli standing at the door.
"Hey, brother, when did you come here?"
"Why don't you come in?"
"I'm just passing by!" Murong Qingli said lightly.
Other people in the cold palace also saw Murong Qingli and hurriedly saluted.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
"Long live His Majesty!"
“…”
"No need to be polite, stand up!"
"Grandson meets the Imperial Grandmother!"
"Well, Bi'an, you are here too!" The Empress Dowager had a gentle expression.
"Royal brother, since you are here, why not come in and join the upcoming bonfire party?" Murong Che invited.
I guess with the emperor brother in charge, Concubine Zhen would definitely not dare to be as arrogant as before, right?
"Your Majesty, His Majesty has been busy with official duties recently, and he specifically told me not to prepare food for him."
"Your Majesty is just passing by, so why don't you waste his time?"
After Si Muqiao finished speaking in a considerate manner, he gave Murong Qingli a look that seemed to be asking for praise.
"Oh, that's right! My brother said yesterday that there are still many things to deal with."
"In that case, I really cannot nag you too much, for fear of causing you to delay important matters."
"Royal brother, take care!" Murong Che thought for a moment and spoke seriously.
“???!!!” Murong Qingli was about to raise his foot to walk inside but then took it back without making a sound.
"Bi'an, since you have something to do, go and do it first."
After the Empress Dowager spoke, others also spoke one after another.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off!"
“…”
"Yeah." Murong Qingli nodded, turned around and left with a cold face.
Guo Fu, who was following behind him, looked at him calmly and felt a pang in his heart.
Damn it! Your Majesty is obviously angry!
But in the final analysis, who should be blamed?
It’s all your Majesty’s fault!
Why are you being so stubborn for no reason?
Is it more important to save face or to do things as one pleases?
As a close attendant to His Majesty, he could guess what His Majesty was thinking.
But the others were not like that, and they didn’t know that His Majesty actually wanted to attend the bonfire party in his heart.
I just didn't say anything because of my face.
He's just waiting for someone to invite him.
But the key point is, we are not the worms in his stomach, so how can we know what he is thinking!
It's no wonder that many people think that His Majesty has a fickle temperament.
"Guo Fu, go back to the imperial study!" Murong Qingli spoke in a very cold voice.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhen and the Empress Dowager are also concerned about you and are afraid that they will delay your work."
"Shut up!"
"Do I need her, Simu Qiao, to speak up about my affairs?"
When Murong Qingli thought of the look Si Muqiao gave him at that time, his face became even colder.
Oh, she has really changed!
When I saw him appear, I didn't care whether he was hungry, thirsty or tired.
She didn't even invite him in.
Instead, as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't wait to drive him away!
Good, it’s really good!
From now on, if he takes the initiative to talk to Si Muqiao, he is a dog!
"..." Guo Fu shrank his neck and stopped talking.
In the cold palace, Si Muqiao, unaware that Murong Qingli was already angry, was still arranging for everyone to clean up the venue and light a bonfire.
Summer nights are a little cooler than days.
A breeze blew and the sound of cicadas rang in my ears.
A large bonfire had been lit, and Si Muqiao had arranged a whole roasted lamb next to it.
In addition to roasting the whole lamb, Simuqiao also had someone build a small stove and placed a pot for hot pot on the stove.
As for the lamb slices, she had already arranged them.
The selected parts are the outer spine, hind legs, tail and other parts of the big-tailed sheep, which are cut into thin slices and placed on a plate.
A long piece of coriander was placed on top of the red meat.
As long as the pot is boiling, you can start cooking.
There was also the dipping sauce that she had just prepared.
Sesame paste, fermented bean curd, chives, chopped green onions, shredded ginger, shrimp oil, mashed garlic, etc.
In addition to the meat slices, she also prepared the chicken greens she grew in the cold palace, lotus root slices dug from the pond, and bean sprouts that had been soaked in advance.
Duck blood, duck intestines, boneless duck feet, fish fillets, tripe, fish balls.
Kelp, mushrooms, fungus, tofu, fried meatballs, quail eggs, etc. were obtained from the imperial kitchen.
Of course, Mongolian-style kumis and Hada cakes are also indispensable.
"Grand Empress Dowager, why don't you try the mutton hotpot first!" Looking at the boiling pot, Si Muqiao couldn't help but suggest.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
"Yes, this mutton is very tender and tasty, not smelly at all."
"Please try some other dishes."
"Grand Empress Dowager, let me help you." Aunt Lan picked up a piece of tofu that the Grand Empress Dowager liked and put it in the hot water.
"Hawthorne, Che'er, Chuan'er, you guys try it too!"
"Yes, Hawthorne thanks the Queen Mother!"
"Grandson thanks the Royal Grandmother." Murong Che originally wanted to leave, but was attracted by the delicious food and spoke without feeling embarrassed at all.
“…”
As for the other table, there was a double-boiled pot.
Half of the base is red butter, and the other half is milky white mushroom soup.
Li Zhaoyi and Hao Meiren were sitting at this table.
After the pot boiled, they picked up the meat slices and placed them in the red butter pot.
The meat slices were well cooked.
But in just ten seconds, it changed color.
Li Zhaoyi and Hao Meiren quickly scooped out the cooked meat slices and placed them in their own dipping sauce bowls.
The dipping sauce bowls are prepared by them according to their own preferences.
However, both of them added sesame paste, vinegar, etc.
When you put the meat slices dipped in the sauce into your mouth, a unique delicious taste instantly bursts in your mouth.
Lady Hao's eyes lit up with excitement, and her whole body was filled with joy.
Although Li Zhaoyi beside her was not as exaggerated as her, it could be seen from the frequency with which she moved her chopsticks.
She also likes the pot in front of her very much.
Wow, they have lived for so many years, but why have they never eaten such a spicy and delicious hot pot.
It smells so good!
