Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1925

Seeing that everyone was not being polite, Qiu Zhiyan stood up and said, "In fact, people in Huizhou are more particular about eating one dish than people in Beijing. My cooking is nothing special. I just watched the maids in the kitchen cook it and learned to imitate her."

"What a great example of following someone's example." Emperor Zhaowu went on to praise, "It looks simple, but in fact, the amount of ingredients in this sauce must be carefully controlled. A slight mistake can lead to a huge mistake. Lord Qiu can do everything with ease. He is naturally smarter than others."

After receiving the emperor's praise, Qiu Zhiyan blushed and his heart beat faster.

But Ye Xun said, "I am naturally smarter than others, but I am not the top scholar."

These words!

Emperor Zhaowu tried to make amends, "He was just unlucky. If he hadn't run into Shi Yunqi, he would have been the top scholar."

Ye Xun raised an eyebrow, "Who is Shi Yunqi? Is he that powerful?"

This is questioning the ability of the new emperor to select the top scholar at that time.

Zhuo Qiran was so scared that his nose was sweating. "To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger. My dear teacher, my husband, can't you say a few words less?"

Shi Anxia lowered her head, suppressed her smile, and listened to her husband picking on the Emperor.

Originally, the husband had been dissatisfied with the new emperor's indulgence of his son all day long, and he was even more upset about the day when the truth was almost exposed.

Although his son managed to get back on track, the new emperor was clearly trying to trick his son into telling him something, which made the husband quite unhappy.

Emperor Zhaowu responded, "If Mr. Yexun had not come to the capital, I would not have known Shi Yunqi's amazing talent."

This is to laugh at him, a rough and uncouth man who roams the world and regards the world as his home.

Qiu Zhiyan quickly expressed his position, "I am convinced that I lost to my cousin."

Sweat covered his forehead. Please, Mr. Ye Xun, save some energy and eat more. Such a big elbow can't fill your mouth.

It really can't be stopped! Ye Xun lowered his eyes slightly, "Cousin? Shi Yunqi?" When he raised his eyes, a flash of realization seemed to flash in his eyes, "So this top scholar should be the princess's brother?"

Without waiting for An Xia's response, he said lightly, "Princess is so lucky." The words took a turn, and finally ended up praising the princess without a trace.

It's not over yet. Ye Xun raised his eyelids slightly and added a few more words, "Your Majesty has good vision. It shows that he is blessed to have such loyal ministers and generals to assist him. I think our emperor will work harder to live up to the talents given by God."

Zhuo Qiran heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly agreed, "Our emperor is wise and has a keen eye for talent."

Emperor Zhaowu was choked by this sudden praise. He always felt that there was something hidden in these words, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

The little Shuzi standing behind him straightened his back, his face full of pride that "the master is naturally wise".

This conversation was not tit-for-tat, but it seemed particularly abrupt because Ye Xun, who was usually taciturn, made an exception and said a few more words today.

The candlelight flickered during the banquet, casting a flickering light and shadow on the gaunt and old face of the night seeker.

This is just an old man with a perverse personality! Just a quack, Emperor Zhaowu thought.

But at a certain moment just now, he clearly caught the tacit understanding between Ye Xun and Shi Anxia. Even though their eyes never met directly, they showed an indescribable familiarity.

Just like two chess players playing chess in the air, every move is tacitly understood. This must be his illusion. Emperor Zhaowu waited for the new sauce with peace of mind.

In just a moment, Qiu Zhiyan returned. The maid following behind him held a tray and replaced the dishes for everyone.

There was no conversation for a while. Everyone ate in silence, showing a rare sense of leisure.

When the table was cleared, only a thin layer of jelly remained on the crystal pork elbow, the tangerine peel in the old duck soup had melted away, and even several of the home-cooked side dishes had been finished.
