C79

At the corner of the south side of the city, there was a two-story building. It looked old and there was a mottled yellow signboard with the words "Beef Zhang" written on it. It seemed like it had been there for a long time.

Because of the cold weather and the sparse amount of people on the streets, the restaurant looked rather deserted from a distance, but as soon as they arrived at the entrance, they could smell the pungent smell of beef. When they entered the house, they could see that the place was bustling with noise and excitement.

Naturally, they had prepared a private room for them. When they entered the private room on the second floor, Yun Shengyue and Chen Jue`er took their seats and let Cui'er and Red Willow sit down as well. Black Two and Black Five reluctantly sat down as well while the others opened a table and sat outside the private room.

As soon as he sat down, a charcoal stove was placed in front of him. Next, a thick, fragrant, spicy, and bright flat soup pot was served, with tofu, bamboo shoots, and a carefully prepared soup base, along with very thin slices of fresh beef, beef liver, tripe, green garlic, and onions. A plate of fresh sesame oil was placed in front of everyone for dipping.

He washed the potato chips, lotus flower white, spinach and other vegetables and put them aside. The waiter was extremely agile, and before long, all of the dishes were prepared. Without waiting for their master's order, Cui Er and Hong Liu began to heat up the dishes.

"This beef is extremely thin. It'll be fine after being scalded like this for a few times. After a while, the meat will age. Littlemoon, try it first. The taste is not bad enough, if not, someone can add more." Chen Jue`er also personally helped Yun Shengyue heat two pieces of beef. However, after she placed them in a hot broth pot and rinsed it a few times, the bright red color of the beef immediately disappeared. With a little bit of scented oil, it was indeed fresh and tender and fragrant.

"As expected, his reputation is well-deserved. Jue'er, don't work so hard. Cui Er and Hong Liu are here." Yun Sheng said as he watched Cui'er play with the meat.

Cui'er also learned very quickly. She immediately helped Yun Shengyue wash a small bowl of meat and said, "Lady Jue, don't move, be careful of getting it scalded. This kind of eating method is indeed interesting, and cooking it shouldn't be too difficult, but the store probably won't spread the ingredients from the bottom of the pot. After returning, let the chef in our house think that eating it while it's cold is the best.

"Yes, you can also cook Clear Broth Pot. If you like spicy dishes, you can also cook a bowl of seasoning and dip it in the pot. Our prince also likes to eat this way." Chen Ju`er smiled and put down the spoon, and the red willow tree also neatly helped her prepare some food to eat.

Seeing that Hei Er and Hei Wu were somewhat restrained, Yun Kangyue smiled and said, "Hurry up and eat. If you are so nervous, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well. Or you can go out and eat together with the others. We don't have anything to do here."

Before Black Five expressed his stance, Black Two had already stood up and said: "Then this subordinate will go out first. If Royal Consort has any matters, let Cui Er call for us." In any case, they had already checked all the rooms. There were other guards who had checked before the dishes were sent in, so there were no problems. And although Yun Shengyue was at ease, they were feeling uncomfortable eating when sitting together with their hosts.

The moment Hei Er opened the door, Murong Hui and two guards were standing in front of Hei Liu. Hei Liu and company were obstructing them, and although Murong Ming's expression was displeased, he was not angry. When the door opened, he immediately turned to look at Yun Shengyue.

Yun Sheng's expression changed slightly as he quickly got up and said with a polite smile, "So the beef stew in this restaurant is actually so famous. Even second royal brother is here."

"This restaurant is already old. Although there are people in the palace who can cook here, it is still not as good as the underground tunnels here. I also occasionally come out to eat. I grew up here and loved to eat. Later on, when I went to Jiangnan, mufei even brought a chef from here to eat there. Yue-er, you learned to eat spicy food from me. " As Murong Hui said this, he walked in. When Hei Er and Hei Wu saw the smile on Yun Sheng's face, they looked at each other and felt that it was not good to stop him. They tactfully retreated.

"So you learned it from second royal brother. It's better to meet by chance. We've only just started. If second royal brother doesn't mind, you can come with us." With a shallow smile, Yun Sheng tried his best to suppress the churning in his heart.

Of course, she remembered that when she was young, she did not eat spicy dishes, but Murong Chong did not like spicy food. Of course, she remembered that when she was young, she did not eat spicy food, but Murong Chong did not eat spicy food.

Murong Chong was still overjoyed when he heard Yun Sheng take the initiative to invite him. He had entered alone. The two guards had stayed outside, while Cui'er and Red Willow had already stood up and stood by their master's side.

"Jue'er greets Duke Ming." Chen Jue`er also did not dare to take a seat. In the end, she was still just a side room.

Murong Hui glanced at her and casually said, "Sit down and eat. Speaking of which, it's this king who has disturbed you. Don't be modest because of this."

Chen Jue`er nodded gently and sat down. Cui Er and Hong Liu focused on serving him, and the three of them chatted about food while eating. On the surface, they looked very harmonious and their smiles were unending.

"Yue Er, you don't like to eat leafy dishes, except for some spinach." Murong Ming personally scalded a dark green spinach and placed it in Yunsheng's bowl.

Shi Xiaobai said with a smile, "Thank you, Royal Brother. I don't remember what happened in the past. I don't seem to be picky with food anymore. I can eat anything."

"Yue Er, since your appetite is so good, you should eat more. Right now, you have to eat two people to make up for it." Chen Jue`er said in a considerate manner, and quickly took a glance at Murong Mingtian before lowering his eyes.

Murong Yu's hands trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his calm. "Jue'er is right. Yue'er, you must eat well."

However, she was constantly guessing in her heart. She had the nagging feeling that Chen Ju`er was not treating her well from the bottom of his heart and must have some motive, but she could not figure out what it was. No wonder he only wanted to be pampered? Since she hid the fact that she recovered her memories, he might as well slowly deal with her.

Did she have anything to do with Mu Rong Ming? She couldn't tell now, but today, Chen Ju`er mentioned especially that he wanted to come over to the 'beef shop'. She hadn't thought too much about it, but why did she coincidentally bump into Murong Fu? He had come alone and had not invited anyone. Could it be that he had come specifically for her?

After all, he was still her benefactor, and her feelings for him were very complicated now. Although so many changes had occurred in less than a year, she could not forget every single thing that had happened over the course of ten years. She really wished that she had not recovered her memories, so that she would not have to face such a struggle and become an innocent, foolish, and simple would-be princess.

But she remembered it all, so many memories, the feelings she had grown up in, all returned to her mind, and without his insistence, she and her mother would have frozen to death in the snow. Without his protective favors, she would only have been a bullied slut, unable to learn literature, learn martial arts, read books, and go out with him to broaden her horizons; if it hadn't been for his love, she wouldn't have been so sweet since childhood.

He had thought that he would be a good man to her all his life, that he would be obedient to her, that he would protect her in the house, that he would always remember to bring her gifts she liked when he was away, that he would always remember the things she mentioned occasionally.

He had treated her so well in the Wind City that she felt she was the luckiest and happiest person in the world.

She was his sister-in-law, his sister-in-law who was already pregnant. She couldn't think of anything else, since he had his concubine, she could only be Murong Yu's woman, so she would rather she be the pure Yun Shengyue herself. If she could still face him like this, how could she face him face to face?

Murong Ming ate very little and ignored everyone's gazes as he stared at Yun Shengyue for a long period of time. She was slightly more plump and her skin was still fair and rosy. Although she was eating with her eyes lowered, her thick eyelashes fluttered slightly, as though a light butterfly could easily move his heartstrings.

She was not the most beautiful one. There were many pretty girls with beautiful facial features and petite figures, but she was still the same girl. She was naive and silly, like a little calf. As long as he could see her smile and hear her unrestrainedly calling him Brother Yu, he was willing to do anything for her.

However, what could he do to her now? Gift her something, do anything for her, she would only smile, be polite but also estranged, no longer that person who would directly take things from him and still take it for granted, laughing like a little fox? At that time, the mufei always said that he spoiled her, but he liked her because she treated him like someone he liked, not like a young master, a prince, or a prince. But now, not only had her status changed, she had also lost all of her memories that he treasured.

Originally, she did not know a thing about the past of Yunsheng and Murong Mingyue. It was all thanks to that person surnamed Lin who told her about it, or else she would not have known that there would be such a show to watch.

She did not see what was so good about Yunsheng. She did not know why these men all liked her, but the beauty that was lacking was that Yunsheng had yet to recover her memories. Although she was a little worried that she would regain her memories, she was looking forward to it.

It was no wonder that when Yun Shengyue first entered the prince's mansion, she had no intention of fighting for his favor. Back then, she had liked Murong Ying. Perhaps she had always liked him because he did not love the prince. She was really unwilling to have her memories forgotten and easily getting all of the prince's favors.

The prince definitely did not know what she was thinking. If he knew that the person Yun Sheng loved was Murong Mingyue, and that the two of them were entangled, would the prideful prince be able to endure it?

He hoped that Yun Kangyue could remember as soon as possible. She had been friends with Murong Ming for ten years, and they should have a deep friendship. If she were to regain her memories, she might do something. Then, there would be a good show to see!

"Yue'er, I've ordered some things from the Jadeite Jade Pavilion. If you want to go and retrieve them, then you can go back first!" Amidst this somewhat strange atmosphere, the lunch that he had decided to have on the spur of the moment had finally ended. As he walked out of the restaurant, Chen Jue`er suddenly wanted to split up.

However, on the surface, he seemed very curious. He asked, "Jue'er, what did you decide? Can I go take a look together with you?"

"No, that's a New Year gift I specially prepared for you and your highness. I can only watch it after a few days." Chen Jue`er rejected with a smile.

He thought for a moment and did not try to force it. "Since that's the case, then I won't be looking at it. I never expected you to prepare a present in advance, Jue'er. I haven't even prepared one yet."

"Then hurry up and prepare, I'm waiting for it. Every new year, the prince will give me a present." Chen Jue`er said shyly.

After Chen Jue`er said that, he left with Hong Liu. Hei Er ordered his two guards to follow, while the others remained with Yun Shengyue. Murong Mingyue sent her to the side of the carriage, still reluctant to part with her.

"Yue Er, let me send you on your way. I still have some things that I want to tell you."

"Oh, is there anything special?" Yun Sheng's eyes widened as he pretended to be puzzled. He did not know what to say to him.

"Get in the car first. It's windy outside, so it's still very cold." Murong Mingyue helped Yun Shengyue into the car and followed closely behind. Cui'er hesitated for a moment, and under Black Five's instructions, she forced herself to get into the car as well.

Murong Ming looked at Cui Er and opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. The horse carriage continued on its journey. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said: "Yue Er, do you still not remember anything?"

"Yeah, the first time it snowed, I seemed to remember something, and I especially hated the snow. Later on, I heard my mother say that it was because she was frozen and scared by the snow, but I still can't think of anything else." In her eyes, she had seen Murong Chong's attitude. As for the matter of regaining his memories, he did not dare to reveal the slightest bit of it.

"Well, there's nothing you can do about it, but you have to listen to me. I'm going to tell you everything about the past!" Murong Ming suddenly grabbed Yun Shengyue's hand and said excitedly, completely ignoring Cui'er's surprise and Yun Shengyue's nervousness.
