In the evening, Emperor Junlan did not come over. When Ling Qiao'er came from the library, she was carrying a basket.
"Brother! I'm here."
Looking at the man sitting in the courtyard, Ling Qiao'er felt as if her eyes had been subjected to a visual shock.
A man dressed in a white robe sat in a wheelchair, exuding an aloof air. After taking a sip of tea, he revealed his slender, fair neck...
Ling Qiao'er couldn't help but swallow. Well, my idol really is a heartthrob!
But I treated him like a son back then!
Is it too late to compete for the position of Regent's Consort?
But Murong Jin has already recognized her as his sworn sister!
Ling Qiao'er was naturally outgoing, especially since this was a character she liked. She started out as the protagonist of a beloved family romance novel, but then a male lead named Di Junlan appeared, and her son suddenly became the main villain... and in the end, he died at the hands of a lowly henchman...
Murong Jin put down her teacup and looked at the person walking towards her. "Hmm."
Ling Qiao'er sat down directly opposite Murong Jin. "Brother, let's have hot pot tonight. I've prepared all the seasonings."
Murong Jin looked at the things she was carrying. "The Prince's mansion should have all of these. You can go to the kitchen and see what you're missing, and I'll have someone buy it."
Ling Qiao'er immediately agreed.
She doesn't earn much money each month, and if she really buys all the ingredients, she'll probably have to make ends meet for the rest of the month.
Murong Jin looked at the emotions in her eyes and couldn't help but curl his lips. When Yi Yi came over, he took Ling Qiao'er away.
"Thirteen, give Qiao'er fifty taels of silver every month."
Upon hearing this, Thirteen's eyes lit up. "Yes, Master." Master has been treating this Qiao'er girl very specially these past few days; perhaps this Qiao'er girl will become Master's queen in the future…
Oh, I forgot, if the mistress is a woman and gets together with Miss Qiao'er...
That doesn't seem likely. Besides, the master prefers men. If he stops being the regent and retires, he'll most likely find a man to settle down with...
"Master, what about Miss Qiao'er?"
Murong Jin thought for a moment, then said, "From now on, you will be Miss Biao."
Jin Shisan: "Yes!"
Ling Qiao'er came to the kitchen and looked at the dozen or so people standing there, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Wow, so many chefs!
The fact that the Regent was a foodie was only mentioned by the author, and most people didn't notice it. But as a long-time fan of the Regent, she naturally uncovered all of this.
Yi Yi looked at the shock on her face and said, "Master used to love good food, but after joining the army, she didn't have the chance to eat anything delicious, especially after her legs were injured. The doctor said she had to avoid certain foods, so she had even less chance to eat anything else..."
Upon hearing this, Ling Qiao'er looked a little nervous and asked Yi Yi with concern, "Can my brother eat spicy food now?"
Yi chuckled, "Yes, after Master returned from the Valley of Divine Healers, the poison in his legs was cured, but he still can't walk."
She doesn't need to avoid any foods anymore... so Miss Qiao'er, don't worry, your mistress can eat anything now...
Of course, besides poison…
Upon hearing this, Ling Qiao'er felt relieved. The poison in her leg had been cured, and she was no longer in any serious health problems. It was said that the Regent had served in the army as a young man, and his body was mostly covered in scars...
Since she liked to eat delicious food, she tried her best to fatten up the Regent!
"Brother Yi, could you help me find someone? Something like washing vegetables. Once I've prepared the seasonings, I can get ready for you to eat with me."
Yi Yi stood to the side and said, "I'll help."
"Okay then, could you wash all these vegetables for me, and peel this one too..."
………
Murong Jin sat in the courtyard, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the kitchen. Jin Shisan, seeing her like this, couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness in his heart. "Master, just wait a little longer. Miss Qiao'er should be able to prepare this meal better..."
Murong Jin's gaze fell on the teacup on the table. "Hmm."
Jin Shisan looked at the master they treated like a younger sister and felt that the master had suffered too much over the years, and it was good for her to enjoy life now.
As for His Majesty, if His Majesty doesn't target the master, they will naturally turn a blind eye. But if he does target the master, then I'm afraid you, Emperor Junlan, can only play by yourself. The entire economic lifeline of Da Cheng is in the master's hands, as is the military power...
Does the ruler want his subject to die?
Then I have no choice but to rebel.
They didn't have that strong imperialist mentality; whoever gave them a new life was the person they needed to protect.
That person was Murong Jin, their master, and the regent of the Great Cheng Dynasty. No one could replace their master in their hearts.
However, they did not know what their master was thinking. For example, His Majesty had been coming here to rest for the past few days, and would come out of the master's room the next morning.
"Your Majesty, what about His Majesty?"
Murong Jin stared intently at the tea in the teacup, saying, "Ignore him."
"And your identity?"
Murong Jin asked calmly, "He can't find out. How's the matter of sending people to keep watch?"
Jin Shisan recalled the contents of the letter, "There are troops being assembled over there, but on the other side are soldiers secretly raised by His Majesty..."
Murong Jin said in a calm tone, "Go and investigate who assembled the team."
Jin Shisan: "Yes."
Half an hour later, Murong Jin was getting impatient. When would the hot pot be ready?
I want to eat it. \(`Δ')／
"Bro, dinner's ready!!! Wait a minute, I'll get some charcoal. This stuff tastes better when you're cooking it."
Finally, looking at the boiling soup pot on the stone table in front of her in the courtyard, her eyes were full of curiosity and anticipation. Then, clean ingredients were placed around the pot.
"Dinner's ready, brother. Whatever you want to eat, just put it in the pot and cook it. Then lift your head and you can eat. This is the dipping sauce. I heard from Brother Yi that you might like spicy food, so I made it especially for you. It won't upset your stomach, but the spiciness is just right..."
Murong Jin hummed in agreement. "Can we eat now?"
Ling Qiao'er was taken aback. "That's enough, that's enough." She never expected that the dignified Regent would have this side to him.
Ahhhhhh, no wonder he's her son... he's a male god now.
Murong Jin scalded the meat, and after it was cooked, she put it in the dipping sauce. The moment she put it in her mouth, the spicy and savory flavor came out, which made her feel a thrill. She liked this flavor.
Only spicy food could put her at ease.
"Yiyi, you guys go eat too."
Seeing how happily they were eating, Yi Yi probably didn't want to be stared at, so he said, "Yes."
Anyway, there's food for them in the kitchen, so they went to cook some vegetables and have hot pot!
