As soon as Huo Sang said this, Murong Qingli's gaze immediately fell over.
Dough? Roujiamo?
It sounds like the Empress Dowager has it, and so does Hawthorne, so why doesn't he have it?
Could it be that, while he was busy, Si Muqiao came to see him just to deliver something to him?
But when you saw he was busy, you took the things and went back?
In this case, would she be able to see him in the cold palace at night again?
Well, yes, that must be it!
After Murong Qingli convinced herself from the bottom of her heart, her sour heart immediately recovered a lot.
"Did Empress Zhen do this?"
Feng Liuyu glanced at Murong Qingli calmly, then asked curiously.
"yes!"
"This prince went to pay respect to the Grand Empress Dowager before going out, and saw her eating this kind of food, so I asked out of curiosity."
"I later learned that the item was made by Concubine Zhen, and it was called Mianpi. I was very envious for a while."
"Who would have thought that on this way to the Yangxin Palace to pay respect to His Majesty, I would actually meet Empress Zhenfei by chance."
"This prince shamelessly asked, and Empress Zhen magnanimously said that she could give this prince a copy."
"I sent someone to go with Concubine Zhen to get it."
"Well, even though I got the food, I haven't had time to eat it yet."
"How is it, Your Majesty, Lord Feng, this mask looks good, right?"
Hawthorne explained it very carefully and clearly.
After he finished explaining, he looked at the two of them with a smile of pure joy on his face.
"..." Murong Qingli after hearing this explanation.
Hiss, he suddenly felt like he was stabbed in the heart.
It turned out that he had overthought just now!
That damn woman Si Muqiao came to see him, but she didn't even give him the so-called face!
He doesn't have it, so why does this guy named Hawthorne have it!
Ah, so angry!
"Well, it's very good."
"Empress Zhen is not only a great cook, but also generous and courteous to foreign guests. She is truly virtuous and has a noble character!"
Feng Liuyu said this on purpose.
"Yeah, that's right!"
"Empress Zhen's cooking skills are truly amazing!"
“Not only does the dough look good, but the Mongolian food it makes also has a unique flavor.”
"The shabu-shabu hot pot, roasted whole lamb, and milk tea are all delicious. They make me dream of returning to Inner Mongolia."
"Empress Zhen is truly a remarkable woman in the Great Zhou Kingdom."
After hearing Huo Sang's praise, Murong Qingli was not happy at all, but felt even more jealous.
Before, his good-for-nothing younger brother praised the food cooked by Si Muqiao in front of him.
Now, it's Hawthorne's turn again!
So what if that thing is delicious?
He didn’t get to eat it!
This damn Hawthorne, is he deliberately showing off in front of him?
"Well, let's start."
Murong Qingli did not respond, but just said it lightly.
After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and started picking up the cold lotus root slices that were closest to him.
Seeing Murong Qingli pick up his chopsticks, Feng Liuyu and Huo Sang naturally became impolite.
Feng Liuyu also ate the dishes in front of him.
But Hawthorne didn't.
He opened the food box and took out the dough and roujiamo.
"Your Majesty, Lord Feng, do you mind if I eat these things here?"
"It's hot today. If I don't eat it now, I'm afraid it will go bad."
"I don't mind." Murong Qingli said lightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After thanking him, Huo Sang picked up the chopsticks and started picking the red oil dough.
Red chili oil is wrapped in the crystal dough, and topped with green cucumbers and white bean sprouts.
It looks very appetizing.
Although the roujiamo was cold, it still tasted delicious.
The meat is very soft and tender, and there are green pepper cubes in it, which looks delicious.
Hawthorne ate with great relish.
Murong Qingli glanced at her several times out of the corner of his eye, feeling sad and envious.
After eating only a small bowl of rice, Murong Qingli said he was full.
After Murong Qingli put down his chopsticks, the other two people also put down their chopsticks.
"Have you two eaten enough?"
"Your Majesty, I am full. Thank you for your hospitality."
"I have been away from home for several days. I am sure my parents miss me very much. Please allow me to leave first."
After hearing what Feng Liuyu said, Murong Qingli nodded and said, "Okay."
"I will take my leave!"
After Feng Liuyu left, he heard Murong Qingli ask.
"I wonder if Prince Huo has any other important business to attend to in Great Zhou besides visiting the Empress Dowager?"
"Your Majesty, I do have something important to report to you," Huo Sang said.
"Um?"
"My father is ill, and the other brothers want to take advantage of the opportunity to fight for that position."
"According to reliable information, someone is secretly colluding with the Xianbei people."
"It is detrimental to the Great Zhou."
When this news came out, Murong Qingli was shocked.
Xianbei bordered Mongolia and was a country with not very large land area.
But they are better at producing war horses.
All the famous and renowned Ferghana horses in the world are from the Xianbei.
Not only that, their cavalry is also very strong.
The world-famous Iron Cavalry came from the Xianbei.
Over the years, the Great Zhou and the Xianbei have been living in peace and harmony.
Why did the Xianbei suddenly jump out and want to cause trouble?
Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but Murong Qingli's expression remained cold and calm.
No other unnecessary expressions were seen.
"How did Prince Huo know this? And why did he come here to tell us?"
Hearing Murong Qingli's question, Huo Sang answered seriously.
"The little prince advocates friendship with the Great Zhou and does not want to see a war break out."
"Besides that, there is another very important reason."
**
In the cold palace.
After finishing his meal, Si Muqiao took a nice nap and then began to think about leaving the palace.
The drawings have been reviewed and the planning proposal has been written.
The design was also roughly drawn.
Next, it’s time to go on a field trip.
After the inspection, she will revise the plan and improve it.
After confirming the ownership of the land with Murong Qingli, we can start construction.
So the question is, how is she going to leave the palace?
According to the rules of the palace, no matter whether it is the master of the harem or the maids and eunuchs in the palace.
Without your majesty's approval, you cannot leave the palace at all.
Go find Murong Qingli?
Who knows when he will be done.
Or, could she just disguise herself as a palace maid and sneak out?
Anyway, she still has the dragon-patterned jade pendant that Murong Qingli had someone give her before!
If I have that thing, it shouldn't be difficult to sneak out of the palace...right?
Well, it’s a happy decision.
She will run away early tomorrow morning after dinner!
Haha!
Simuqiao was just thinking happily when he heard Tangyuan's slightly surprised voice coming from outside.
"Master, I heard from Xiao Jinzi that the old hen and duck in the backyard have hatched chicks and ducklings at the same time."
"Those little chicks and ducklings are so tiny and look so cute!"
"Hmm? Let's go and take a look!" Si Muqiao also became interested.
