Chapter 44
44. Cuiyefang mash is sweet like honey
Lin Han returned to the palace with a stack of black sesame recipes written by His Royal Highness King Yu.
He was worried all the way along the way, and he didn't know how to get the master to eat so many sesame seeds.
Li Han knew his master very well. As a natural emperor, Pei Niancheng had a strong personality.
Although he is deeply trusted by Pei Niancheng, if he disagrees with his master on political matters, the master can discuss it with him very calmly, so most of the time he can speak out (but Li Han is not good at how to do it tactfully).remonstrance).
——At this time, Pei Niancheng will always remain sane.
However... When it comes to small things in life, Pei Niancheng is a master who will never wrong himself, and is very stubborn and does not listen to anyone's opinion.
As an emperor, there are many rules of behavior on weekdays, and there are rules and regulations restricting small things everywhere.Pei Niancheng hated this to the extreme, and the first thing he did after taking office was to fire the eunuch who was in charge of reminding him of daily etiquette.
That happened on the second day of his accession to the throne, and Li Han still remembers it vividly.
Originally, many stubborn veterans were dissatisfied with Pei Niancheng's unreasonable and random reform of the emperor's daily living system.But Pei Niancheng ignored them, and would rather fight against them than change.
Later, the Dajing Dynasty maintained the system of two meals a day for hundreds of years, but he changed it to the system of three meals for no reason.Even the usual court meeting time was an hour late because he couldn't handle government affairs if he didn't sleep well in the morning.
Those stubborn old ministers... After a few symbolic words, they didn't mention this matter again.
——Who doesn't want to sleep a little longer in the morning!
Afterwards, no one dictated Pei Niancheng's life.
Since then, Pei Niancheng has been doing whatever he wants in life, quite a tyrant.
Staying up late to criticize memorials until late at night, the personal servant Rui Gonggong can't say a word, and his salary will be deducted if he speaks; when it's hot in summer, he only wears a thin layer of underwear and dangles around in the palace. Who would dare to ask him?Dress decently, and one year's salary can be deducted.
If there are sesame seeds on the dish, it is natural to throw the plate.
Li Han stroked his hair sadly - he didn't know how many times his salary could be deducted in the past ten years.
After he entered the palace gate, he thought about it, but he didn't go to see the master directly, but went to the imperial dining room first, and sent those recipes over.
It's better to kill this matter first, or report it first, and I'm afraid it will die young.
"From now on, follow the instructions above every day, and add meals to the master."
The chief manager of the imperial dining room looked at the stack of papers, a little suspicious:
"Commander Lin, His Majesty doesn't seem to eat..."
Li Han put on a serious face and frightened people with a cold expression:
"This is the prescription given by the Imperial Medicine Court, do you have any questions?"
The chief manager wiped his sweat: "No problem, no problem."
However, he was already howling in his heart. Serving so many black sesame seeds would make His Majesty angry, saying "Why would I serve such an unpalatable thing?" In the end, it wasn't their Imperial Dining Room who suffered the most.
I don't know which son of a bitch from the Imperial Medicine Court wrote this crap. Those people are just looking for trouble. They usually give His Majesty a daily pulse check. Whenever there is a trouble, they start tossing the imperial dining room. Either this can't be done or that can't be done, or they have to addDo this and do that.
The poor chief executive muttered for a long time, but he didn't recognize it. The famous calligraphy on the paper is full of charm and style, how can it be compared with the Imperial Medicine Court's dog-climbing medicine prescription.
………………
That night, Pei Niancheng continued to review the memorials until late at night.He seemed to have encountered some difficult problem, and he was so worried that he started to pull his hair again.
Pulling the hair with one hand, and habitually rubbing the paperweight on the table with the other hand, the hair covered the cushion on the throne in a short while.
Li Han asked the little eunuch guarding the door to get several servings of black sesame and goji berry porridge from the imperial dining room, and took one in by himself.
"Master, are you hungry at this point, do you want to eat something? This is a recipe arranged by His Royal Highness King Yu, written by the prince himself..."
Pei Niancheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly reached out to lift the food box:
"It really bothered my brother, let me see what my good brother made for me..."
"..."
A bowl of black rice porridge sprinkled with black sesame seeds, although very fragrant and sweet, even aroused his appetite, but his aversion to sesame seeds still prevented him from picking up the bowl.
He looked again, and there was a note from Pei Nianyu's family in the food box:
"Little brother, for the sake of your hair, drink it obediently (^_^)ノ"
Pei Niancheng's smile suddenly froze.
... is really my good brother.
"Hey, that, Li Han, you can just put it here, I'll drink it later, I'll finish editing this note first."
Li Han pursed his lips tightly and looked up at his master, completely unconvinced.
But he didn't say anything, he just jumped lightly in front of Pei Niancheng's eyes, climbed onto the beam above his head, and looked down without blinking.
Pei Niancheng: "..."
If you guard, you can guard, don't look so creepy, can't you?
After a while, a little eunuch came in to refill tea.Pei Niancheng suddenly called the little eunuch to stop, very amiable:
"Thank you for your hard work. It's so late, you must be hungry. I'll reward you with this bowl of porridge..."
It was the first time that the little eunuch was rewarded with royal food by the emperor, and he immediately burst into tears of gratitude, and happily went out with the porridge in his hand.
Pei Niancheng continued to criticize the memorial, standing still.
Li Han sighed secretly, went out and brought in another food box from the eunuch guarding the gate.
He opened the food box himself, and Pei Niancheng took a closer look, and there was actually a note from his dear brother:
Pei Nianyu: "I knew you didn't drink. My brother is going to be angry! (##-_-)"
Pei Niancheng: "..."
He thought, brother, you are not here, what else can you do to me.
So the old trick was repeated, and the porridge was rewarded to the little eunuch who came in to add ink, and the little eunuch went out happily holding the porridge.
The third bowl, the fourth bowl...
When Li Han served it for the fifth time, Pei Niancheng finally had a fit.Originally, he had been fretting over a bunch of tangled political affairs all night, but now Li Han is tantamount to lighting a fire on his head.
Pei Niancheng slapped the table and couldn't help yelling at him:
"Li Han, you took the wrong medicine today! You have to wait for me to scold you, right?"
Seeing his master getting angry, Li Han hastily knelt down respectfully: "...I know my mistake."
Pei Niancheng felt relieved: "Since you know your mistake, why don't you remove it!"
Li Han: "..."
He was entangled, he didn't want to make the master angry, but the earnestness of the prince's words when he entrusted him with this task was still in his ears.He thought for a while, but for the sake of his master's body, he still didn't move, but kneeled more respectfully.
Pei Nianyu's words were spinning quickly in his mindif it is beneficial to the master, he should be persuasive.
But...how did he persuade?
Li Han knelt on the ground for a long time, and finally said dryly:
"This...Master, you should eat it..."
Pei Niancheng: "..."
He couldn't help kicking the desk in front of him. The stacks of tall memorials on the desk swayed from side to side like a dangerous building, and finally rolled down the table with a clatter.
With a cold face, Pei Niancheng opened a memorial, drew a word "read" on it viciously with a Chinese ink brush, and said:
"Don't bother, I won't eat."
He thought to himself that I am the emperor, no matter what you Li Han do, you can force me to drink it.
Li Han thought about it again, and began to copy Pei Nianyu's theory:
"Master, the lord said that this black sesame seed nourishes the kidneys, nourishes the viscera and nourishes qi and blood. If you don't want to eat this, I'm afraid you will have to drink the medicine prescribed by the Imperial Medicine Court..."
Pei Niancheng looked at the brochure reporting this year's bad harvest under his hand, and his mood became even worse. He picked up the ink pen and pressed a huge ink ball on the name of the Governor of Taizhou on the signature of the brochure.
"If you don't eat it, I just won't eat it, just keep rolling."
Li Han looked at his master's expression of shame, and sighed in his heart, feeling that his master had instantly turned into a three-year-old child.
Willful and difficult to coax.
Li Han stood aside, feeling a bit at a loss.
How to persuade a three-year-old child to eat well?He was thinking as he put away the porridge bowl.
Seeing him leave, Pei Niancheng calmed down a little and continued to review the memorial.However, his brows were quickly frowned by the political affairs reported in the booklet.
After a while, Pei Niancheng smelled the aroma of pastries, but it was the little eunuch who brought the supper. He saw that there was glutinous rice and red date cake in the box, so he picked up a piece.
However, with one bite, bit into the black sesame paste sandwich inside the cake.
Pei Niancheng: "..."
His face was completely black.
Can you let him approve a memorial properly!Who is Li Han disgusting all these times?
Where did Li Han get the courage to go against him!
...It's Lou Yefeng, who brought his good-looking Li Han to pieces!
Pei Niancheng thought angrily.
After an unknown amount of time, when it was time to refill the ink, Li Han quietly entered from the door.
Pei Niancheng didn't pay attention at all, he put down his pen and rested his eyes for a while.
When picked up the pen again, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the bottom of hand. looked closely and found that a piece of black sesame candy was stuffed in.He turned his head to look, and Li Han looked at him with a respectful expression.
He was just about to speak, but Li Han persuaded him desperately:
"Master, the prince is also doing it for your own good..."
For you!It's for your own good again!
In his previous life, he was born in a family full of parents' expectations. Since he was a child, the three words "for your own good" have been heard like a magic sound, destroying his childhood and youth.
After he crossed over, he worked so hard for so many years to finally become the emperor, isn't it just to make no one around him dare to use the three words "for your own good" to control him?
Unexpectedly, still can't get rid of these three words. The most important thing is, what a big deal this is, isn't it just a sesame seed that he doesn't want to eat, and Li Han actually wants to take care of it!
Not just this time, but also before.Advise him not to stay up late, advise him not to eat more sashimi, advise him not to drink herbal tea...
And so on, like a nagging female servant.
Oh no, he is 20 years old this year, and Li Han is 29 years old. In terms of age, he is indeed much older than him.
But could this be a reason for him to take care of him just because of his age?As annoying as those stubborn veterans in the court!
He is a time traveler, he has worked hard for many years and still has to suffer from this bird's anger in eating and drinking... He feels that he is really aggrieved.
Pei Niancheng suddenly felt that he had been so kind to him all this time that he had forgotten his identity.
He looked at Li Han's earnest, "for your own good" appearance of a loyal minister, and felt a puff of anger in his chest. He grabbed the paperweight at hand and wanted to throw it at him. At least he came back to his senses at the last moment, and onlyThe paperweight fell beside the desk.
"Li Han!!! Get the hell out of here!!!"
The paperweight fell to the ground and made a heavy and loud cracking sound. All the eunuchs around the study trembled in their hearts, and at the same time they admired Li Han: only Commander Lin dared to do this in the court and the inner court.This kind of lifeless thing.
Li Han didn't leave immediately.
He saw the paperweight disintegrate into pieces of sharp stones, some even fell at the master's feet.Before he could think about it, he went forward to pick up the flying debris.
Pei Niancheng became even angrier when he saw that he was kneeling on the ground and picking up the debris, but he refused to leave.Suddenly his face darkened, and he said in a strange way:
"Li Han, I hope you can remember, what I asked you to be the commander of the shadow guards is what I asked you to do. I also point fingers when I shouldn't be in charge... How many times is this?"
Li Han's movements stopped suddenly, he lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.
Of course he remembered.
At that time, when Pei Niancheng was only ten years old, he picked him in the shadow guard camp, but did not pick the number one Lou Yefeng.The little boy's complexion was as serious as an adult's, and the deep eyes in his eyes looked him up and down like knives.
After he initially established trust with his master, Pei Niancheng said to him - I hope you can be my knife, I hope you can know what you should and should not do, don't let me remind you.
——If one day comes to the point where I need you to remind you, you can weigh it yourself.
Since then, Li Han has remained true to his duties as a sharp knife.As long as it is the master's order, everything that should not be done will be done without hesitation.For so many years, no matter before or after ascension to the throne, the darkness and blood under Li Han's hands cannot be compared to that of Lou Yefeng.
Over the years, Li Han has won the trust of his master and is a close minister of the emperor, so he has no scruples about talking with his master.
Are you really...too much in charge?
Li Han couldn't help being stunned.
Maybe he has indeed forgotten his identity recently, after all he is just a knife of the master.
Pei Niancheng's tone suddenly became light, so light that it made Li Han flustered, as cold and distant as a master is to someone he needs to guard against:
"Leave if you don't want to do it. There are some obedient and capable people who want to be the leader. I don't need someone to take care of me..."
"Owner!"
Hearing these words, Li Han's chest was sore, and his hands couldn't help shaking. The broken stone slipped from his palm, leaving a long bloodstain, and the red liquid kept oozing from the long and narrow wound.
He hastily turned his palm over and made a fist to cover the wound.Pei Niancheng's eyes were sharp, and he saw the bloodstain at a glance. He was stunned for a moment, and the words in his mouth could no longer be uttered.
His Shadow Head martial art is so strong, how could he be injured just by picking up a piece of it?
Seeing Li Han's helpless look, Pei Niancheng's anger disappeared without a trace.
Li Han looked up in panic, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.In the end, he didn't ask anything, but silently stepped forward and put all the black sesame seeds on the table into the food box.
"...The subordinate knows his mistake, the master should not get angry with himself."
Li Han put the tiles into his sleeves as if nothing had happened, got up and prepared to leave with the food box.
However, Pei Niancheng grabbed his hand and spread it out.
"you……"
He looked up and saw Li Han's expression was as cold as a glacier that had remained unchanged for thousands of years, and the ancient well was calm.However, he accurately caught a trace of embarrassment and sadness in Li Han's eyes.
When Li Han rarely showed emotion, Li Han like this was something he had never seen before.
It turns out...he would also be sad because of his own words.
Pei Niancheng was touched by that look, and felt rather uncomfortable.He hurriedly wrapped Li Han's palm, and then he didn't know what to say.
After a while, Li Han looked at his master, and finally couldn't help but said cautiously:
"Master, this subordinate...knows his mistake. This subordinate will stop meddling in other people's business."
Li Han lowered his head, turned around and prepared to leave.
"You...wait a minute."
Pei Niancheng took the food box in his hand, took out the black sesame candy inside, and ate one slowly.
"Forget it... I'd better... eat something."
It was not his intention to make Li Han like this, and he feels a little bit sorry.
It's not that he can't eat sesame seeds at all, he just doesn't like to eat them.Just like some people don't like coriander, they can't die if they eat it.
He's just extremely sick of being forced to eat.
Li Han...Although he is quite a female servant, but after time travel, he left his ordinary parents and family and came to the most ruthless emperor's house in the world.
——But there is no one like Li Han who cares about him sincerely and at the same time manages him so meticulously.
His older brother cared about him, but wasn't always around him.
Thinking of this, Pei Niancheng tried his best to finish a plate of black sesame snacks.
Li Han looked at the owner who was struggling to eat the black sesame candy, even drinking those bitter soups had never been so painful, and thought that going on like this would not be a long-term solution.You can't make the master angry every time and let the master eat it because of distress.
If there are too many times, the master will get tired of him one day, and maybe at that time... the master really doesn't want him anymore.
Li Han thought silently, his chest was heavy, which was quite unpleasant.
So, when Li Han returned from his shift in the morning of the second day, he wrote a note to Lou Yefeng first, and ordered his subordinates to send it to King Yu Palace, and then slowly fell asleep.
…………
In King Yu Palace.
After Pei Nianyu had scolded the manager of Shangshan that day, the manager finally didn't dare to let the people below fool him.
Not only did Fu Chen take over the financial income and expenses of this big kitchen, he also had to be practiced by Yun Shao every day, requiring him to learn all the recipes invented by the prince within a month as quickly as possible, and to do it well.As delicious as the prince.
The manager of Shangshan is simply miserable.
At the entrance of Hanqiu Pavilion's sleeping hall.
Pei Nianyu held the latest version of the cafeteria recipe given to him by Fu Chen, and looked at the newly added sentence on the last page, "There is feedback from the shadow guard that they hope that the cafeteria can provide chicken feet with pickled peppers during supper time. Is it approved?" I really wanted to take a picture of the recipe.Go to Fu Chen's head.
"Such a trivial matter also needs my approval? Huh? Won't you do it yourself?"
Fu Chen ran away with his head in his arms:
"Ah, master, that's not what the subordinates want to report. You can turn to the next page..."
Pei Nianyu turned back and was slightly taken aback.
Fu Chen pointed:
"Master, these are some ingredients that are not used in the mansion recently, but...they didn't mention it in the recipe. If you don't use it, master, it will inevitably be wasted forever."
The remaining ingredients on it are not the ordinary fruits and vegetables sent by Zhuangzi, but the portions assigned by the palace every month.Bird's nest, leopard fetus, bear's paw, deer tendon...and other precious (but not necessarily delicious) ingredients.
Pei Nianyu: emmmmm...
These things are either too greasy or too fishy, and they are also very nourishing, and you will get angry if you eat them.Even the bird's nest can make a few decent dishes. The problem is, he can't finish eating the bird's nest.
For the bird's nest alone, three hundred birds were distributed from the Moon Palace.
The amount of ten heads a day is because it has to be distributed in the same way to other palaces, the masters, wives, old wives, and wives of other palaces... and so on.The master has a large population, ten head a day is almost enough.
He was the only one in Pei Nianyu's mansion, and he couldn't eat ten heads.But this thing is a matter of specification, it is impossible to give him a corresponding reduction according to the head, otherwise it will be different from the amount issued by other mansions.
Pei Niancheng has always spared no effort towards his brother in this regard, how could he treat him badly.
The consequence of this is that after Pei Nianyu discards these things, they will inevitably be wasted.
He thought for a while, then said:
"Well, let's keep these daily ingredients before evening. If I don't use them, I'll make all these things and let them order them by themselves."
"Then... do we need some conditions? After all, we can't make 100 servings every day, if everyone wants to eat..."
Fu Chen was worried.
"Sell it as a special dish at the cost price."
"So, master, what's the cost?"
Of course, there is no cost.
"...Forget it, one tael of silver for one piece, anyone who is willing to spend this money can spend it, anyway, they can afford it."
Fu Chen thought in his heart, this is really cheap, those shadow guards are so lucky to be able to eat the prince's special offering.
Tsk, our master is really the best master in the world.
Fu Chen blew a hundred rainbow farts for his lord in his heart, but he never expected that, except for the edible bird's nest with rock sugar, other precious mountain delicacies would be sold by the shadow guard without exception because Pei Nianyu did not improve the dishes.They hate it!
The shadow guards agreed that, how can dragon liver and phoenix marrow be as delicious as chicken feet with pickled peppers?
These few dishes added to the recipes of the big kitchen were never cared for when they were born.
So not long after, because the dragon livers and phoenix marrows had been in a difficult situation of slow sales for a long time, Fu Chen had to sell them all to the Drunk Immortal building, the number one restaurant in Capital City, with tears in his eyes.
………………
In this room, Lou Yefeng was checking the note that Li Han sent him:
Li Han: "Old building, let me ask you something, if you need to let the prince eat something he doesn't like, how would you persuade your master?"
Li Han thought that based on Lou Yefeng's close relationship with the prince, he must know about the fact that his master gave His Majesty a bunch of black sesame seeds, so he came to ask him about it.
But in fact, Lou Yefeng didn't know about it.
When Pei Nianyu was writing the black sesame recipe that day, Lou Yefeng happened to ask He Qi to borrow money, and he didn't know anything about it.And Pei Nianyu didn't tell Lou Yefeng because he felt that "Pei Niancheng is losing his hair" would damage the majesty of the emperor, lest his dear brother be ruthlessly ridiculed by Lou Yefeng.
Lou Yefeng was holding the note, completely confused.
But although he didn't know what Li Han meant, his question seemed quite interesting.He was reminded by this, and he also wanted to know... what would be the effect if he tried to persuade him.
Of course he knew what his master didn't like to eat.
His master doesn't like bitter melon, or anything bitter.
His master is addicted to sweets, and always thinks that life is not easy, so why ask for trouble.
Lou Yefeng sighed, this was a habit that Pei Nianyu developed during the miserable years in the palace when he was a teenager, and now, although life is no longer bitter, this habit has been preserved.
However... recently the imperial doctor came to ask for pulse and said that the master seemed to be a little angry, and the false fire was strong, but he could try to make a bitter gourd for the master.Bitter gourd, or bitter vegetables, have the effect of clearing away heat and relieving heat, so that Lian Xiao will not have to pour medicine if he really gets sick two days later.
Lou Yefeng destroyed the note and got up to prepare lunch for the master.Ever since Yun Shao was sent to teach cooking, Lou Yefeng took over Pei Nianyu's three meals a day.
Originally, he was secretly learning how to cook, but after taking over the cooking recently, in order to prevent the master from eating unpalatable dark dishes, he put more effort into it, and his level has improved rapidly.
What he chose was to make bitter gourd into a cold dish.
First remove the flesh of the bitter gourd, cut it into sixteen uniform oval slices, and put it in a pot of boiling water—the host doesn’t like to eat raw vegetables.After the color changes slightly, take it out quickly, and put it in the ice water prepared in advance to freeze it, so that some bitterness can be reduced.
After freezing, Lou Yefeng carefully arranged the bitter gourd slices on a plate.
He specially chose a white porcelain plate with azure blue lotus pattern, and spread a layer of crushed ice on the concave part of the plate to keep the taste fresh.I picked a carrot flower and stuck it in crushed ice.
Then, on the crystal green melon slices, he poured his carefully prepared rock sugar osmanthus honey sauce.
—It was cloyingly sweet.
Lou Yefeng was still afraid that his master would feel bitter, so after thinking about it, he poured the rock sugar osmanthus honey juice thickly again.
Now, each slice of bitter melon is wrapped in thick and flowing honey juice, and there are sporadic light apricot-colored osmanthus flowers dotted on the green leaves in the transparent honey juice, which is very beautiful.
After Lou Yefeng took care of all the dishes, he ordered people to bring them all to the master's room, and then packed his clothes before going over.
When he entered the room, Pei Nianyu was enjoying Lou Yefeng's feast until Lou Yefeng came in with the plate of rock sugar osmanthus and bitter gourd.
Pei Nianyu stared at the plate that perfectly fit his aesthetics:
"Beautiful! What is this?"
To put it bluntly, the artistic value of this dish is the highest. Whether it is the selected celadon container, the layout, or the color matching of osmanthus and carrot flowers, they all blend together and are extremely harmonious.Even if it is put on a big banquet in the palace, it can also beat the current level of banquet dishes in the imperial dining room.
"...a cold dish."
Lou Yefeng was vague.He peeled off the wrinkled skin on the outside of the bitter gourd, and the shape is neat. You can't tell what species it is just by looking at the melon slices.
Naturally, Pei Nianyu was the first to put a piece of bitter gourd into his mouth.
The first thing he tasted was the mellow sweetness of rock sugar osmanthus, and his eyes lit up immediately.After drinking up the honey juice, he bit it down in his mouth without hesitation——
"Wow"
Pei Nianyu resisted the bitterness that flooded in an instant, and did not spit it out in consideration of his image, but after swallowing it with difficulty, his facial features wrinkled instantly.
After eating one piece, Pei Nianyu looked at Lou Yefeng with aggrieved eyes:
"Ye Feng, you've turned bad, why are you feeding me this!"
Lou Yefeng looked at him guiltily:
"Master, you have been a little angry recently..."
Pei Nianyu tugged at his skirt angrily:
"Deceive the master, what should be the crime?"
Lou Yefeng looked at the master who was acting coquettishly again, he couldn't resist the master's eyes that wanted to make trouble but was gentle like water at the same time, so he bent down obediently and looked straight at the master.
Every time Pei Nianyu saw Lou Yefeng's cute eyes, his heart would melt.He bit his lip unceremoniously as a punishment.
Lou Yefeng said: "Master, you should eat more..."
"Ugh……"
Pei Nianyu looked at the plate of bitter gourd with a sad face, and didn't want to offend Lou Yefeng's intentions, so he picked up another piece with a sad face, first sucked the sweet-scented osmanthus juice clean by drinking poison to quench his thirst, and then began to eat the bitter gourd.
So predictably, Pei Nianyu had no sugar to dip in after eating half a slice, so he had to dip the remaining half slice into the syrup on the other melon slices on the plate.
In this way, after Pei Nianyu only ate 4 slices of bitter gourd, he had already dipped all the honey juice on the plate.
Lou Yefeng: "..."
He sighed, and didn't ask the master any more, but brought the plate in front of him, ready to clean up the leftover bitter gourd by himself.
"Hey...You Yefeng, it's bitter without sugar!"
When Pei Nianyu saw him like this, his heart ached. He regretted that he ate up all the syrup. In the end, it was Ye Feng, his family, who suffered the most.
Without further ado, he snatched the plate from Lou Yefeng's hand and ate it all in one go.
"Master, you..."
This time it was Lou Yefeng's turn to feel distressed.
Of course, Pei Nianyu's suffering was not in vain. After eating, Pei Nianyu showed his true face:
"Ye Feng... this plate of bitter melon of yours has made me very unhappy, I think you are one step away from serving the bed."
Lou Yefeng hurriedly said: "Then...then, master..."
He was at a loss, seeing his master sitting on the soft couch with a relaxed expression on his face, so he had no choice but to walk behind him and rub his shoulders and back for his master.
Although the massage technique was very good, Pei Nianyu was obviously dissatisfied with just that.
So he raised his head and looked at Lou Yefeng.
Looking at the master's face, Lou Yefeng was so blessed that he understood what the master meant, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.He took a deep breath, stopped the massage, turned down and held the master's palm, then bowed his head and kissed it actively.
Pei Nianyu gave up his previous initiative this time, and just closed his eyes, waiting for his action.
Lou Yefeng saw that his master had no intention of turning his back on the guests, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally, with some trembling and excited secret feelings, he swept the tip of his tongue into the master's lips, and immediately tasted a little bit of teaFragrance, with a slightly clear bitterness.
It was a place he had never been, and it was something he had tried to do to his master in countless irreverent fantasies.
And the master actually allowed his audacity and offense.
Lou Yefeng closed his eyes and dared not look at him, and kissed his master piously and carefully.However, although the taste was delicious, Lou Yefeng didn't dare to try it too much, and left in a hurry after a few breaths.
"Master, forgive me, I... I just... just couldn't hold back."
Pei Nianyu smiled and patted his head, turned around and pushed him down on the couch, hugged him and kissed him enough.
For the whole day, in order to make up for his master, Lou Yefeng readily agreed to whatever request Pei Nianyu asked, and was uncharacteristically active and enthusiastic, which made Pei Nianyu unbelievable.
Pei Nianyu hugged the broad figure of his loyal dog, lay in his arms, and said comfortably:
"Tomorrow you can make another plate of bitter gourd!"
Lou Yefeng: "..."
Of course Lou Yefeng knows that his master's wine-lover's heart is not in the cup, but... if he can exchange a few kisses for his master not to be picky eaters, then this deal is really a bargain - he will benefit anyway.
So Lou Yefeng cooked bitter gourd with rock sugar and honey juice for three days very diligently, until Pei Nianyu really couldn't eat any more.
Of course, what made Lou Yefeng a little worried was that even though the master had eaten so much bitter gourd, when the imperial doctor came to ask for pulse again, he still said that the master had a strong fire.
But for some reason.
………………
Three days later, Lou Yefeng returned a note to Li Han:
"I tried it. After feeding the host something unpalatable, you only need to kiss the host immediately, and the host will not be angry."
Li Han:?????
He destroyed the note casually, expressionless.
Lou Yefeng's method...is it really reliable?
Li Han was deeply suspicious.
It's just that he really has nothing to do. Pei Niancheng's stubbornness and majesty are not comparable to Pei Nianyu's, and he doesn't dare to force his master to eat black sesame porridge.But good words of persuasion are not enough.
If with Pei Nianyu and Lou Yefeng, Pei Nianyu's anger was basically the same as being coquettish and wanting to kiss, then with him, Pei Niancheng's anger was the real anger of an emperor.
One is a lazy cat stretching its claws, and the other is a tiger roaring.
Li Han really has no better way but to keep trying everything in a desperate situation.
Since Lou Yefeng can be liked by the master, it means that he is a master at how to get along with the master, maybe his experience can be tried?
On the second day, Li Han found a time when no one else was around, and when he was pouring tea for Pei Niancheng, he suddenly made a secret move and touched Pei Niancheng's acupuncture points, but no shadow guard noticed.
Pei Niancheng couldn't move, and suddenly his face turned pale with shock, thinking that Li Han was going to hurt him, his eyes instantly became sharp.But in the next second, a piece of black sesame cake was fed into his mouth.
Pei Niancheng: "..."
He was controlled by others, so he swallowed the black sesame cake angrily, thinking in his heart that when Li Han unlocked his acupuncture points, he must be severely punished.
However, before he could figure out how to punish Li Han, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and then he felt something as soft as a feather, but warm and moist, lightly touching his face.
Pei Niancheng's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Li Han in disbelief.
—Did you take the wrong medicine?
——Does Li Han like himself?
He looked at Li Han suddenly strangely.
However, the next moment he knew that was not the case.Li Han's eyes seemed to be on a routine basis, and there was no sign of liking at all.
Pei Niancheng was silent. What did he mean?
Li Han quickly let go of his master and unlocked the acupoints at the same time.
"Master, this subordinate has offended."
Pei Niancheng continued to remain silent, and it was rare that he didn't respond.
In fact, he was embarrassed.
It was Li Han's touch just now... It was the first time he was hugged by his cold-faced Yingshou like this, and he felt strangely that this feeling was not bad.
But he had never had such an experience, and he was a bit embarrassed to say it, but at the same time he was also embarrassed to criticize Li Han.
In the end, he had no choice but to pretend not to know, and coughed lightly:
"Well, you go back first."
On the second day, when Pei Niancheng saw Li Han bring over the sesame cake, his brain twitched and he deliberately refused his offer.
So it was no surprise that the acupoints were tapped again and a kiss was added.
Pei Niancheng's mood became even weirder.
After three days like this, Li Han finally breathed a sigh of relief and wrote a note to Pei Nianyu:
"My lord, I have lived up to your trust, and my subordinates have found a way to persuade you."
Pei Nianyu replied:
"Good job. Next step, in order to prevent your master from gaining weight due to eating too much black sesame, please urge Xiaosheng to exercise every day to maintain his figure."
Li Han: "..."
…………
Pei Nianyu, who had no idea that Li Han was already in the palace and wanted to overturn the table, finally got annoyed after eating bitter gourd for many days, but looking at Lou Yefeng who was full of interest, he felt embarrassed and offered not to eat.
So early in the morning, Pei Nianyu said:
"Ye Feng, you go out to eat with me today."
Lou Yefeng hurriedly said:
"Hmm...? But what's wrong with this subordinate?"
"No, no. It's just that Director Qin mentioned a few days ago that there are a lot of recipes in this mansion, so I want to see what's going on outside, and see if there are any recipes that have been improved to make them more delicious."
"I see, this subordinate will accompany you."
"Naturally. In addition, I have another task today. I have to inspect a store in Capital City. I want to open a restaurant by myself after a while."
"Okay, the master is up to you, how many shadow guards do you need?"
Lou Yefeng asked this question out of habit. After all, Pei Nianyu doesn't take two steps out of the front door these past few years in order to avoid provoking some peach blossoms.Owner.
"Don't, don't, just the two of us go shopping, I don't want to be stared at all the way. It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are a lot fewer people on the street, so what can happen."
Lou Yefeng hesitated to speak, but finally agreed:
"yes."
The author has something to say:
Pei Niancheng to Dear Brother:
Take care of your Lou Yefeng, you brought my Li Han into ruin!!!
