I was stunned for a moment, and looked up at him.
He also looked at me, without the gentle smile on his face at Li'er, but just said calmly: "You try it too."
“…”
I didn't move for a moment, just staring at him blankly, and Li'er next to me immediately said, "Yes, mom, you can try it too, it's delicious."
I looked at her, then looked at Pei Yuanhao who was still looking at me across the street. After a moment of silence, I picked up the chopsticks on the table and picked up the shrimp and put them into my mouth. The shrimp was very fresh, and the boss's skills were also very good. There was no heavy fishy smell or sauce. The only thing was the sweet and tenderness of the shrimp itself, and the taste was indeed very good.
After eating one, Li'er looked at me and said, "Is it delicious?"
"Um."
She immediately smiled so hard that her eyes were bent, and then turned her head to look at Pei Yuanhao: "I want to eat one more."
Pei Yuanhao had already peeled another shrimp, dipped it in the soup and then delivered it to her mouth: "Come."
Li'er opened her mouth and ate.
Even if I didn't eat the shrimp, just looking at Li'er's smile and the bright and bright light in my eyes, I could still know how sweet the shrimp was.
Pei Yuanhao looked at her smile, his face was filled with a faint and gentle smile, and asked, "Do you still want to eat shrimp? I'll peel it for you."
Li'er shook her head: "No."
After saying that, she picked up the chopsticks in front of her.
When he heard that she was not eating, a faint loneliness flashed across Pei Yuanhao's face, but he didn't say anything. He looked at Li'er and then turned around. Seeing this, the servant next to him immediately came forward to wash his hands with a bowl of clear water. After cleaning it a little, he wiped it clean with a towel. He turned around to prepare to eat, but saw a piece of fish, soup and water being squeezed into the plate in front of him.
He was stunned for a moment, raised his head to look at Li'er.
Li'er put the chopstick head in his mouth and sucked it, and then said to him, "You can eat too."
“…”
Pei Yuanhao stared at his plate blankly, without any movement.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Li'er, and a look of unconsciousness flashed in his eyes.
As an emperor, he always was cautious and more careful when eating than enjoying. Even if there were dozens of dishes on a table, he could not eat too much of what he liked, and he could not try anything he didn't like. Even if he had eaten with the queen and prince, he would eat his own food. Who had ever picked up a dish for him like this?
What's more, the one who picked up food for him was his daughter who had been separated for many years.
I saw that his eyes became more distracted. After a while of silence, I coughed twice and said, "What did you give it to me?"
"Yeah. Try it, is it delicious?"
“…”
"Eat quickly."
Pei Yuanhao looked at her for a while, then reached out to pick up the chopsticks, but for some reason, he picked it up several times but couldn't. Instead, the fresh fish meat was crushed by him a few strokes. Li'er didn't eat anything else, so he just bit the chopsticks and looked at him.
After a while, there was only a pile of spoiled fish left in his plate, which could not be even more clamped.
He thought for a while, put down his chopsticks and said to the servant next to him, "Get the spoon for me."
A servant ran down immediately, and after a while, he brought a box up. Pei Yuanhao took out a silver spoon from it, carefully scooped up all the fish, and then put it into his mouth.
Li'er immediately asked, "Is it delicious?"
He didn't say anything, but chewed it carefully for a long time, like a small piece of fish with endless aftertaste. It took a long time to swallow it slowly, and then said, "Well, it's delicious."
Li'er immediately laughed.
He also smiled: "Why is this fish so delicious and so tender?"
“We bought fresh fish.”
"I don't know what fish it is."
“Anyway, it’s delicious.”
They even praised and ate, especially Pei Yuanhao, who wanted to leave Mo Baoyong to commemorate this restaurant, but at this moment, I heard the owner of the restaurant downstairs say to Wu Yanqiu in a hurry: "Sir, remove the fish quickly, you can't eat it!"
When Wu Yanqiu heard this, he immediately asked, "Why?!"
"That fish, the people in the small kitchen, replaced the fresh fish with dead fish."
“…”
"Damn it small, damn it small!"
“…”
For a moment, he heard a heavy slap, which made everyone in the restaurant hear it. Immediately, Wu Yanqiu rushed upstairs anxiously.
All three of us heard their conversation. I couldn't help but frown. Many restaurant kitchens have this technique, showing the guests fresh fish, but when they start making it in the kitchen, they change to cheap dead fish. Some customers can't eat it, so they make money like this.
The kitchen of this restaurant probably has this routine. The chef made it easy and replaced it with dead fish. The one who tried the dishes below was just to see if it was poisonous. How could he tell if it was a dead fish?
So, the bite the emperor just took-
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at Pei Yuanhao, who looked unhappy, for fear that he would be furious.
Unexpectedly, he burst into laughter.
Not only did he laugh, but Lian Li'er also covered her mouth and giggled.
I sat next to them, watching them laugh like this, and the more they laughed, Li'er's face turned red, and Pei Yuanhao - I've never seen him laugh like this, with only two slits left in his eyes, and there was a pleasant light flashing inside, tears almost burst out from the corners of his eyes, and his nose wings were twitching, just like his constantly shaking shoulders.
Seeing them like this, I couldn't help laughing.
Then he turned around and waved his hand gently to Wu Yanqiu, who was still a little tense at the entrance of the stairs. He immediately understood and quickly turned around and retreated.
The two of them laughed for a while, and Li'er wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and gasped. Pei Yuanhao asked her with a smile: "Do you still want to eat fish?"
"I don't want it!"
Li'er immediately started yelling, but after the yelling, her eyes turned, but she picked up a piece of fish and put it in Pei Yuanhao's plate: "Come on, eat fish."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I was about to scold her to stop making trouble, but Pei Yuanhao smiled and picked up the piece of fish and put it into his mouth.
"Why--"
I watched him slowly chewing the fish in shock, his face full of sunshine penetrated from the window, gentle and warm. Even the faint smile on the corner of his lips appeared, as if it contained countless sweetness and happiness, which were slowly revealed in this smile.
Li'er smiled and said, "Is it delicious?"
"Yeah, it tastes good."
Seeing them like this, the faint worry in my heart also dissipated. I shook my head gently, and then started eating my own food.

I didn't eat too much of this meal, and the fish and shrimps were always incompatible with me, but Pei Yuanhao and Li'er were having fun, and they ate most of the dishes on a large table. Even his entourage next to him came up to persuade him twice before he put down his chopsticks. The servants came up with copper plates filled with water, and colorful petals were floating on the water surface. After we washed our hands, we sorted it out for a while, and then we went downstairs together.
The shop and several others knelt at the door downstairs, with the red finger marks on their faces not dissipated until now. When they heard the footsteps of us walking down, they were shaking like sieves.
When Pei Yuanhao walked past the store, he stopped and looked at him with a smile and said, "Your skills are good."
The shop owner was so scared that his face was pale and he was so trembling that he couldn't even say anything.
Pei Yuanhao laughed again: "Reward."
After saying that, he walked out.
Wu Yanqiu, who was next to him, walked over, looked at the shop owner who was almost collapsed to the ground, waved his hand and made a gesture to the servant behind him, and walked out with us.
The carriage is still waiting outside.
Li'er asked, "Where are we going next?"
Pei Yuanhao smiled and said, "Does Li'er like flowers?"
Li'er nodded immediately: "I like it!"
"Then, let's go and enjoy the flowers."
"OK!"
Li'er clapped his hands so much that he was so happy that we got on the carriage again. This time the journey was far. After entering the main city of Yangzhou, we walked along the main road for a long time. The carriage kept wandering. In addition, after eating the fish and shrimps before, we felt that our chests were starting to burn, and the carriage finally stopped.
When we got off the car, we saw that we were in a deserted alley. In front of us was a not-too-large red painted door. There were towering gray brick walls on both sides, and we could not see at all.
And when I looked at the surrounding scenery, it seemed a little familiar.
When Li'er saw it, she immediately asked, "Are there any flowers here?"
Pei Yuanhao smiled and said, "You'll know if you go in and take a look?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yanqiu and the others had already stepped forward to say hello to the people inside. The door opened immediately and Pei Yuanhao took us in.
As soon as I entered the door, I found that this was the official residence of Yangzhou Prefecture.
I lived here many years ago, but because I lost my memory at that time, and Pei Yuanhao had always allowed me to cultivate, I only wandered around the wing room. In fact, the official residence of Yangzhou Prefecture is very large, which is larger than the area built between the mansions on both sides of Pei Yuanxiu and Han Ruoshi. In addition to the official residence in front, there are huge gardens behind it, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with flowers, birds and trees, which is very pleasant and pleasant. After Pei Yuanhao ascended the throne, he went south to Yangzhou and did not build any palaces, because the official residence in Yangzhou was very gorgeous.
It turned out that Pei Yuanhao wanted to take his son in to enjoy the flowers.
But as soon as I entered the door, the guards guarding the door immediately reached out and stopped Gu Ping behind me: "Who is he? You can't go in!"
Pei Yuanhao and Wu Yanqiu both looked back.
Gu Ping followed us carefully along the way, silently and cautiously, and he got here. He heard that he could not enter, so he frowned.
Li'er immediately said, "Why can't you enter? He is my brother Ping!"
The guards probably heard of who Li'er was. When they heard her speak, they were a little hesitant, but they did not put down their hand when they stopped Gu Ping, but they just looked at Wu Yanqiu with some embarrassment.
Wu Yanqiu also frowned slightly, looked at Pei Yuanhao, and then looked at me.
And I also frowned.
I used to go to the market with Pei Yuanhao and Li'er and go to restaurants to have dinner. They were just traveling around, but now he takes us to the official residence. Even though we have been in Yangzhou, the meaning of coming to the official residence is different.
I dare not say that he would turn against us immediately and imprison us here. After all, since he met Li'er again, I could feel that he was still trying his best to maintain his kind and close image in Li'er's heart, but at least for me, entering here will make me uneasy.
