Chapter 63：

The sudden arrival of this brigade made Tao Ti unresponsive for a while.

When she recovered, she was not as elated as she had imagined, and even... she was interrupted and slightly disappointed.

Xu Wenhe was still calm, standing still on the spot without changing his face and heartbeat. He wrapped the last dumpling in his hand and placed it on the table sprinkled with a layer of dry flour.

Brother Hao was young, and he had never seen such a scene. A group of Wuyangyang people suddenly appeared at the door of the house, looking like they would be uncomfortable looking at them coldly.

He hurriedly hid behind Xu Wenhe, clutching his clothes tightly with his little hands, poking out half of his head, looking at Pei Yanhe Zanping for a while, and Tao Ti for a while.

"It's okay, Brother Hao." Tao Ti chuckled at him, then looked at the rows of big thin-skinned dumplings on the table in a blink of an eye, and there was a moment of reluctance between her eyebrows: Her dumplings!

On the other side, Pei Yan gestured to Zhanping to get up, glanced at the forbidden army outside the courtyard indifferently, and whispered, "Wait outside for now."

Flattening slightly startled, "His Royal Highness, won't you go now?"

Pei Yan leaned over, staring at the corner of his eyes, and saw Tao Ti at the table staring at the big dumplings. His thin lips couldn't help but evoke a faint smile, and said warmly, "It's not too late to leave after eating dumplings. ."

Flatten, "..."

Don't look at Tao Ti's head down, but her ears kept standing up listening to Pei Yan's movement. Now she heard him say that he would leave after eating the dumplings, and her heart suddenly jumped for joy.

She raised her face and showed a bright smile at Pei Yan, and said crisply, "That's great, I'm going to make dumplings!"

With that, she went to the kitchen with dumplings.

Xu Wenhe was about to start a fire, and brought brother Hao to follow up to help.

After a while, a white smoke rose from the black chimney of the kitchen.

Pei Yan retracted his gaze, and calmly looked at the flattening in front of him. Seeing that his whole body was thin, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked like a wind and dust, he knew that he had spent a lot of effort looking for them in the past few days.

Pei Yan raised his hand, patted his flattened shoulder again, and solemnly said, "Aping, you have been working hard these past few days."

Zhanping was originally emotional, but when he heard this again, the circles under his eyes suddenly turned red. He hung his head and clasped his fist. "His Royal Highness is really breaking up the evil officials. His Highness is suffering. Living in this kind of place, wearing this kind of clothes... The minister is the leader of the Donggong Zuowei, and the guards are not strong this time. It is a negligence of duty to cause the palace to fall into danger, and the ministers cannot shirk the blame."

"Okay, don't cry, so many brothers are watching." Pei Yan said gently.

Flattening suppressed his emotions and nodded his head with a heavy nasal sound.

Pei Yan walked to the side and sat down. Seeing that Zhanping was still standing, he motioned to him to also sit down, "What's the situation in Luoyang now?"

Zhanping was ashamed and didn't dare to sit, but Pei Yan gave him a look before he sat down and responded, "His Royal Highness, the minister wrote a secret letter on the night of your assassination, and rushed to Chang'an for 800 miles. In the middle of the night before yesterday, Bianzhou governor Zheng Xuan brought Bianzhou soldiers to Luoyang to help in the search; Zheng Xuan held the secret decree of his majesty and surrounded Prince Mu and Fu Yin. Both Prince Mu and Sun Fu Yin were guarded by heavy soldiers. Luoyang Mansion For the time being, Zheng Hyon will be in charge of... Your Majesty’s order, your assassination, will also be investigated by Zheng Hyon."

Zheng Hyon.

Pei Yan casually turned the jade finger on his thumb, and a thin and elegant middle-aged Confucian appeared in his mind.

"If I remember correctly, this Zheng Xuan was only transferred to Bianzhou two years ago as an official?"

"His Royal Highness, yes, Zheng Xuan has just served in Bianzhou for three years. He has a good governance. Under his management, Bianzhou is prospering. The people are prosperous, and the prosperity does not lose to Luoyang." Zhanping replied.

Pei Yan didn't know what he was thinking about. After a long while, he commented lightly, "I am a talented person."

The two chatted again, and after a while, a tempting fragrance came out.

It was midday and it was the meal. When I first smelled the scent, I tried to maintain an unmoved expression on the exhibition plane, but in fact it was difficult to resist the body's instincts, and I swallowed subconsciously.

He wondered in his heart: No, dumplings, stuffed in the skin, can be cooked so fragrantly? This prince is also incapable of it!

While thinking, Xu Wenhe had already brought out a large plate of steaming big white dumplings, and hurriedly toward Pei Yan, "Your wife said, let you wash your hands and eat."

Frown flattened, who is this old man, even if he didn't know the identity of His Highness before, now that he knows the identity of His Highness, still dare to speak with such an attitude?

But for the next second, a gentle voice sounded, "Okay, let's go."

Pei Yanshi Shiran stood up, took a step, paused again, and looked back at Zhanping, "Aping, eat together?"

Zhanping's heart is tangled. There is a voice on the left saying, "You are so dereliction of duty. Are you embarrassed to have dinner at the same table with His Highness?" You need to point your face.

There was another voice on the right, saying, "That's the dumpling made by the princess, you have missed too much food before!" If I miss it this time, I am afraid that I will miss this bite before entering the coffin.

In the end, flattened and cheered, "Good, good..."

The four people made a total of about 100 dumplings, half of the stuffing of pork and cabbage and half of the stuffing of pork and leek. Tao Ti was thinking about making more, and after eating at noon, he can save it for evening and tomorrow morning.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, Zhanping and they came to the door. After eating this dumpling, she and Pei Yan are leaving here.

She left Xu Wenhe's ancestors and grandsons for two meals in the morning and evening, and the rest of the dumplings were partly cooked, partly steamed, partly fried--

So, what was served was the appetizing and delicious dumplings in sour soup, the original steamed dumplings, and the golden brown and crispy fried dumplings, one dumpling, three to eat!

At the beginning of the exhibition, it was a little cramped. It was only after seeing Xu Wenhe's ancestors and grandsons at the table that they relaxed a little.

Tao Ti put the prepared dumpling dipping sauce on the table, slowly took a seat, and smiled, "Everyone, use the chopsticks. The dumplings won't taste good when they are cold."

Never thought that Pei Yan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a fried dumpling, and put it directly into Tao Ti's bowl.

Tao Ti was taken aback, looking at him with **** eyes, "...?"

Pei Yan looked natural and smiled at her with squinted eyes, "Miss, you have worked hard, you should be the first one."

Tao Ti's heart bounced twice, which had already revealed her identity, why did he still call her like that. Every time he called her with a smile like this, she felt half of her body numb.

It's just... very hot!

"Okay, I will eat, and you will eat too." Tao Ti responded softly, then lowered his head and picked up the fried dumplings in the bowl.

The bottom of the fried dumplings is slightly browned, and the surface is covered with a layer of crystal clear white tender skin, sprinkled with a few white sesame seeds and green onion, just looking at the appearance will make people appetite.

When it is put into the mouth, the teeth and the crunchy bottom will make a "crack" sound, and both the crunchy and soft taste will bloom between the teeth at the same time. After biting the skin of the dumplings, the tender soup in the fried dumplings flowed out at once. The hot and smooth and delicious, the vegetables and the meat are perfectly blended, the layers are rich, and the deliciousness is unstoppable.

Compared with the burnt aroma of fried dumplings, the special feature of sour soup dumplings lies in its soup. The suitable sour taste is accompanied by a light spicy taste, which enhances the flavor of dumplings to another level. The smooth and tender big dumplings are just a fairy-like enjoyment and satisfaction.

Steamed dumplings are not as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside as fried dumplings, nor as the unique flavor of dumplings in sour soup. It is like a low-key and beautiful Xiaojiabiyu on the outside, white and tender on the outside, not so fancy. But picking up one, the skin is soft and glutinous, the process of steaming and heating, the taste of the ingredients blends in the sealed dumpling skin, making the soup more delicious. It is an original, natural and delicious taste. If you dip it in hot sauce or sesame sauce, it will immediately bring a new and different feeling to your taste buds.

"It's delicious, this sour soup dumpling is the best!" Brother Hao's mouth was full, appraising him as the number one in his mind.

Tao Ti swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and looked at others curiously, "Then what about you, which one do you prefer?"

Pei Yan pointed to the steamed dumplings, "Fried dumplings are a little greasy after eating too much, but the sour soup dumplings taste a bit heavier. This is not greasy and not greasy, just right."

Xu Wenhe also pointed to the steamed dumplings, "When I get older, this kind of light and delicious food is more palatable."

Tao Ti saw that no one likes pan-fried dumplings most like her, and she was a little puzzled. In the end, she turned her gaze on Zhanping, who was quiet and bitter all the way, and said, "Master Zhan, how about you?"

Zhanping had half a dumpling stuffed in his mouth, and he was suddenly named. He bowed his head a little embarrassedly, "Going back to the princess, the ministers and ministers like it. All three kinds of dumplings you make are delicious."

Although he... used to look down on the princess, but he has to admit that the culinary skills of the princess are really amazing!

What's more, when learning about the assassination that day, the princess rushed forward to block the assassin for the princess regardless of her own safety, flattening her heart, and no more disrespect for the princess——

As long as the prince always treats the prince as well, in the future the prince will be like the prince, and he will be the master who will swear allegiance to the death!

At first hearing the affirmation of Zhanping, Tao Ti raised his eyebrows in surprise, oh, the sun came out from the west, Master Zhan would actually praise her?

He seemed to feel the meaning of Tao Ti's gaze, and he felt even more embarrassed to unfold, and his head was almost buried in the bowl.

After a dumpling feast, Tao Ti and the others have to go.

When they came, they were embarrassed with their hands empty, but when they left, they reaped two sincerity.

Brother Hao leaned beside Tao Ti, staring at her pitifully, and said, "Big sister, if you leave, will you come back to see us in the future? Oh, I can't bear you..."

Tao Ti was also reluctant. She bent over and touched his little head, and coaxed softly, "When I have the opportunity, I will come to visit you... Maybe you can come to Chang'an and find me to play."

As she said, she searched her body, looking for something that could be used as a token.

At this moment, Pei Yan came over, took off the jade pull finger in his hand, and handed it to Brother Hao, "This, take it."

Brother Hao was startled, not daring to take it, twisting his head and looking at Xu Wenhe.

Xu Wenhe said lightly, "This jade finger is precious. His Royal Highness should take it back. This time I rescued it, but with a small effort, and the prince has burned for so many days, it is enough to offset this kindness."

Pei Yan smiled gently, "Mr. Xu, you don’t want to repay, but you are lonely but you have to repay your kindness. Let Hao brother hold this jade finger. There will always be unsatisfactory things in life, if you encounter trouble someday , Then took this jade finger to find orphans... If you don't think about yourself, you have to plan for Brother Hao, right?"

This is said to be sentimentally, justified, and well-founded, and it is completely irresistible.

In the end, Xu Wenhe arched his hand towards Pei Yan, thanked him, and then motioned to Brother Hao to take the jade finger.

The separation is always sad.

Although I only lived in Taoyuan Village for just a few days, these days are relaxing and unforgettable.

Tao Ti sat on the carriage, raised the curtains, and waved towards the small courtyard, "Old Man Xu, Brother Hao, goodbye, goodbye——"

Brother Hao twitched his mouth, sadly hiding behind Xu Wenhe and wiping tears.

The carriage drifted away, and the two figures at the door of the small courtyard gradually blurred, and finally disappeared completely.

Tao Ti's long eyelashes were slightly drooping, and she put down the curtains, still feeling a little uncomfortable.

Pei Yan sensed her sadness, raised her hand, gently rubbed her little head, and said in a low voice, "Okay, want to be happy. For example, after returning to the palace, you can eat whatever you want and bathe. It’s also very convenient..."

Speaking of bathing, his voice stopped abruptly, and Qing Jun's face also flashed uncomfortable.

Tao Ti, "..."

Well, the bath and wrestling, the two of them are afraid that they will not be able to cross this life.

——

Back to Luoyang Palace again, it was Xu Shi, the sky was already completely dark.

Pei Yan first went to the Tongming Hall to deal with the affairs, while Tao Ti followed the carriage to Jixian Hall.

Linglong brought a bunch of palace people to stand at the door and watched. When they saw the carriage coming, the palace people's emotions were lifted up.

Tao Ti got out of the car, Linglong hurriedly led the palace people to salute, "The slave servant/minion welcomes the princess back to the palace, and the princess is safe and happy."

It was only a few days before Tao Ti had seen him, but Tao Ti felt like a world away. Looking at the familiar palace people and the magnificent palace, she smiled and said, "Get up all the time."

Everyone just got up, Linglong wanted to greet her, but she could not help but stop seeing the princess in front of her.

I saw the princess wore a rough blue cloth dress, her hair was loosely twirled, her whole body was thin, her chin was sharp, her eyes were bigger, and she was holding a simple crutches in her hand, looking haggard. It's downright again, where there is still the glorious appearance a few days ago.

Linglong's eye circles couldn't help but red, and the princess must have suffered a lot outside this time. This leg should have been injured when she fell into the river.

"Prince princess, the slave and maid **** it! The slave and maid are all to blame, if it weren't for the slave and the maid who didn't stop you that day, you wouldn't suffer these sins..." Linglong was very guilty, raised her hand and slapped her face severely.

Tao Ti was taken aback, and when she was about to draw a second time, she hurriedly stopped her, "Okay, okay, didn’t I come back? Besides, I didn’t blame you for this last time, it was my own recklessness. impulse……"

Linglong still wanted to sue her, Tao Ti pretended to be unhappy, and said, "I'm back, you don't have to help me in and rest, is it possible that you are planning to let me talk to you at the door? I took a seat. The carriage in the afternoon is very tired."

Linglong recovered and hurriedly stepped forward to help Tao Ti, "Prince Princess, dinner is ready, and the fragrant soup is ready. You will eat dinner first, and then take a bath. Later, the servant girl will pinch your shoulders and legs. I'll loosen up your muscles and bones."

Tao Ti blinked her eyes and smiled, "That's right!"

Huafu delicacy, fragrant soup soft bed, I miss you guys!
