Duan Xiaohe had finished cooking the pastries and mixed two bowls of sweet osmanthus water. She practically made everything that her family could take out, filling up the entire Eight Immortals Table.
The little emperor was used to the delicacies of the sea and the mountains in the palace, so any one of them was better than any of them. The little emperor scoffed, saying that there was nothing good to eat in the countryside, so the food on this table only looked slightly better.
Duan Xiaohe revealed a trace of a smile, thinking that if there was a next time, he definitely had to get him a table full of Pig Food Grass.
Mo Jinyuan's lips twitched, and advised the little emperor to first taste it before saying anything. The reason Jade Food Inn was so popular was because of the existence of Duan Xiaohe. Since she was able to teach a chef, her cooking skills must be exactly the same.
The little emperor took a bite reluctantly. As if he couldn't taste anything, he picked up another chopstick. Just like that, he managed to eat an entire white flatbread.
Mo Jinyuan drank a mouthful of millet congee and felt that it was sweet and delicious. Just from eating a few dishes on the table, he felt like he had wasted more than twenty years of food.
The little emperor's manner of eating was very elegant, but her speed was not slow either. Mo Jinyuan came in later, and the table full of dishes was swept clean just like that.
In the past in the palace, the little Emperor could only eat one or two servings of each dish before losing all interest. However, the country taste of this table made him unable to stop eating. The ingredients were not particularly fresh, nor did they look particularly good. However, it was just these dishes that were so delicious that he was reluctant to leave.
Halfway through his meal, the little Emperor suddenly thought of the bowl of sweet osmanthus water and the pastries on the table. Half of his stomach was left, sweeping away all the pastries like a tornado.
Duan Xiaohe was flabbergasted. Didn't they say that there was nothing delicious in the countryside? What was going on with them, the two of them, who had been reincarnated as hungry ghosts!
Mo Jinyuan did not dare to fight with his master, and could only watch from the side. After waiting for the little Emperor to stop, he didn't even have a single word left.
Helplessly, he moved to Duan Xiaohe's side and asked her if she still had anything left in the kitchen, then went over to taste the two pieces that he had given her.
Duan Xiaohe rolled her eyes, and snappily said that all the food in the house was here, and she did not even know what she would eat next.
She thought to herself, since these words are already enough to chase people away, it would be a shame if they still shamelessly stay here.
Who knew that the little emperor would knock his fingers on the table. Mo Jinyuan understood and took out a silver note that was worth 100 gold.
"In a while, go to the town and buy some food to prepare. Tell me after you have enough money. "My family's young master is poor and only has money."
Puff!
You fucking rich man!
Seeing her unwillingness, the little Emperor signaled Mo Jinyuan with his eyes. Mo Jinyuan then took out a silver note and placed it in front of her.
"Don't worry, we have money."
Duan Xiaohe suddenly remembered that the Little County Princess was still in the tavern! When the time comes, he would also have some things to say to Little County Princess. How could the emperor be so free everyday? When the time came, she would tell the Little County Princess and ask the Little County Princess to remind the young emperor.
Such a good plan!
"Um, where is Little County Princess? I'll go buy something, and I'll also bring her over for everyone to gather around? "
Mo Jinyuan nodded, "As you wish."
Duan Xiaohe did not want to stay with the two of them any longer, so she took advantage of the fact that they had a carriage to jump on. However, just as she got onto the reins, the two men caught up.
"What are you doing?"
The little Emperor smirked. "You're on my carriage. What do you think I'm going to do?"
Mo Jinyuan took the reins from her hands and drove her into the carriage. Because of Mo Jinyuan's power and authority, Duan Xiaohe could only obey the Lord Mo.
In the carriage, the little emperor was staring at Duan Xiaohe the whole time. Even in broad daylight, she was scared witless.
"What are you looking at, what's there to look at!" My face is no different from yours... Naturally, it's definitely not as beautiful as you. I've been doing rough work all year round, and my face is wrinkled. He had previously injured his waist, but now, it was so painful that he couldn't even straighten it when the time came. In my entire life, I just wanted to live a good life in the Liu Village, and also didn't want to go to the capital to climb up the ranks of the rich and the wealthy.
"How did you hurt your waist?" The little emperor's eyes moved to her waist, but his half-lidded eyes did not show any emotion.
She faltered for a moment, saying only that she hadn't noticed it before and hadn't mentioned anything else.
"I've heard that her waist isn't very good either. He said that after giving birth to the child, he did not rest properly and became ill. It's clearly a lowly life, but because of having two children, you became rich and sickly. What a joke. "
Hearing those words that sounded like ridicule, filled with grief and pain, Duan Xiaohe frowned, as her brain formed a sentence: "No matter what, she has given birth to your biological mother. If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't have such a rich sickness."
The little Emperor abruptly opened his half-closed eyes, and a cold light shone on her face. I'd rather she didn't give birth to me! "
After saying that, he suddenly moved closer, a bloodthirsty chill in his eyes. If it weren't for me in her womb, you would have died before you were even born. You have to thank me for being able to live until now, because I have borne all the hardships of your life for you. "
Duan Xiaohe laughed and was just about to pull the curtains of the carriage to get on the carriage with Mo Jinyuan. The moment she did so, she heard the little emperor whisper, "I only found out about this two or three years after she died. I heard the court lady who was always by my side say that she helped me taste the broth and thus lost her life. "Later on, I realized that the person I was calling 'Queen Mother' the entire time wasn't the person who gave birth to me, and the palace maid who was willing to help me taste the broth everyday was my biological mother."
She stopped and turned to look at him. The little Emperor was sitting in a corner, his face half hidden by the shadows. At this moment, he looked very lonely and helpless.
"I used to remember her, but as I grew older, I forgot about her."
Duan Xiaohe could not bear to watch any longer, but at the moment, she really did not know where Qin Rui had stolen the painting from. She thought about it carefully and told him about what the woman in the painting was wearing along with the small row of words beside her.
The little emperor was silent for a long time. "Do you want to return to the capital with me?"
Duan Xiaohe subconsciously shook her head, "No need, this place is very good. After I marry the people here, my home will be here. "My dad said that the capital is not safe, and I haven't lived long enough. I really cherish my life."
The little Emperor suddenly became gloomy. I have already found out where you are, and I have been dragging this out so that Her Majesty will not suspect you. Now that I have taken back my power, I have come all this way to find you. This is my world, not Her Majesty's. "
Did he mean to say that he had taken the Empress Dowager?
This kid is great!
Duan Xiaohe looked at him twice, and knew that the relationship in the Tian Family was extremely complicated, and all the children had matured early on. Listening to Qin Rui's words, the empress dowager of Great Chong was the Ci Xi from back then. As the little emperor's nominal mother, she had actually already taken over the actual power of the little emperor.
I didn't expect him to be so capable. He must have put in a lot of effort to get to where he is today.
He had also said that all the sufferings she had suffered in her life had been endured by him alone.
Because the Little County Princess was in the city, Mo Jinyuan drove the carriage to the Qinghe County. Duan Xiaohe said that since he was already here, he might as well go to the Jade Food Inn to eat instead of going back home to eat.
The little Emperor nodded. "Then you can do it here. I only eat what you make." "Since the silver has been given to you, you can fail however you wish."
Mo Jinyuan whispered something into his ear again, the little emperor frowned at her, "Mo Qing said that you have a share in the restaurant too?"
Duan Xiaohe nodded, and the little emperor's frown deepened.
"If you want to open a restaurant, I will call Mo Qing to sweep the entire street for you. You can do whatever you want with food and clothing."
The corner of Duan Xiaohe's eyes twitched, "No need, this is good enough."
Mo Jinyuan brought him to the private room. Just as Duan Xiaohe was about to go to the kitchen, Qian Qiaoqiao came over and stopped her, asking her about the identity of the little emperor.
How could she dare say that he was a high and mighty emperor, or was he related to her by blood? She only said that he was the Little County Prince in the capital, and was older than Mo Jinyuan's official.
When Qian Qiaoqiao heard this, she couldn't care less and quickly ordered the waiter to bring the best tea and pastries.
Duan Xiaohe said that it would be simpler, she had just eaten at his house. Qian Qiaoqiao grinned widely, saying that this was different, that this was something from her own restaurant, and would be promoting it in the future.
"Where's Xia Quanan? Why didn't he come out to help?"
The smile on Qian Qiaoqiao's face disappeared, "I'm sick, I'm lying at home."
"What disease?"
Qian Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, her face cold as she replied that she did not know.
Duan Xiaohe's eyes flashed, "Is it her old lady that is being a Spirit Demon again?"
Qian Qiaoqiao's eyes turned red, she bit on the corner of her lips tightly, as she felt extremely wronged. Her mother still wanted a grandson and insisted that no one in the Xia family would be able to succeed him. I don't know who said it to Xia Quanan, but he told me about a young lady. "
Shameless!
"Xia Quanan didn't say anything? Is it because you are so filial that you don't dare to disobey your mother, so you decided to pretend to be sick at home?! Even you don't want to see it? "
"Speak softly, ancestor. I still need to open the door to do business." Qian Qiaoqiao tugged at her, "There's nothing he can do, if his mother really wants to live, he can't just watch his mother torture herself like this."
Duan Xiaohe was flustered, "Are you stupid!"
Qian Qiaoqiao took a deep breath and sighed: "It's not like you don't know his mother, and it's also not wrong for her to want a grandson. She can't just go and beg an imperial decree to tie her son with me, it's even too annoying."
An imperial edict?
She glanced up at the private room. It was a living imperial edict.
