The group's favorite, the blind princess is both a doctor and a poisoner

The Imperial College is the highest institution of learning in Tianjin. The spring recruitment is complicated and cannot be taken lightly.

The Su family father and son stayed in the Imperial College all day long.

It happened that Crown Prince Xiao Chengnian was here today, and Su Lin and his son were chatting with the Crown Prince about the direction of this year's exam questions.

It was already noon when the three of them finished their discussion.

The prince sympathized with their recent hard work and invited the father and son to have lunch together.

The prince noticed that the Su father and son seemed to have no appetite and only ate a little.

Zhengjue was puzzled. He had specially asked the East Palace kitchen to prepare this lunch. Everything was exquisite and delicious, and there was nothing wrong with him eating it.

It’s not that the Su family father and son have a poor appetite.

During this period they go out early and come back late.

Su Yuejian heard that they had a hasty lunch in the cafeteria, and worried that they didn't eat well, so she cooked lunch for them herself every day.

The father and son were deeply moved. Yue'er was indeed the most considerate.

Su Yuejian is an excellent cook. Her dishes are both novel and delicious, a hundred times better than those made by the chef of the famous Zuixianlou in Kyoto.

She had made their stomachs picky over time, so they had no taste for this dish.

At this time, the servant came in to report.

"Your Highness, the eldest lady of the Su family sent someone to bring lunch to the Su family father and son."

Xiao Chengnian was slightly surprised.

The eldest lady of the Su family?

He remembered that it was the purple-clad woman who had made the eternally famous answer at the Tanchun Banquet that day.

Su Lin and his son looked at each other awkwardly.

The prince invited us on short notice today, but he forgot to ask the servant to go back and tell Yue'er that there was no need to deliver the meal.

Su Lin was about to explain.

Xiao Chengnian said without any concern,

"Miss Su is truly filial. Let someone in."

The servant came in carrying two large food boxes and bowed.

The servant took it, took out the food inside and placed it on the table.

The servant said, "This is a medicinal meal. The young lady said that the master and the young master have been working hard these days, and a medicinal chicken soup is the perfect way to nourish them in this spring."

Xiao Chengnian frowned in confusion.

What is medicinal food?

Could it be that Master Su and Yan Zhou are sick and need to take medicine?

The servant opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma of chicken soup immediately filled the air.

Xiao Chengnian's mouth was watering just by smelling the scent.

The smell made the Su family's father and son feel hungry.

Seeing that the prince was staring at them, the father and son did not want to monopolize the food, so they asked the servant to bring one of the dishes to the prince.

Xiao Chengnian took the bowl of soup and tasted it.

After taking a bite, surprise gathered in his eyes.

Is this really chicken soup? It's so delicious!

The taste is so delicious!

He drank it in two or three gulps.

I also tried the scallion pancakes and pastries. The pancakes were crispy and the pastries melted in my mouth.

Each one is more delicious than the other!

No wonder the Su family father and son don’t like the meals he prepared, there is no comparison!

Xiao Chengnian took one bite after another, it was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating.

Seeing this, the Su family father and son no longer hesitated and immediately joined the battle.

Soon, all the food that Su Yuejian brought was eaten up, but the food that the prince specially asked the kitchen to prepare was hardly touched.

Xiao Chengnian ate with great satisfaction, wiped the corner of his mouth, and praised, "I didn't expect Miss Su to be so talented and have such excellent cooking skills."

Then he asked doubtfully,

"Just now you said this was a medicinal meal, but I didn't taste any medicine?"

The servant replied, "Your Highness, I don't know the reason either. I only know that this medicinal food is indeed made with medicine, and the herbs and seasonings used were personally prepared by the young lady."

Xiao Chengnian nodded slightly and exclaimed,

"What a clever and ingenious woman. Master, how lucky you are!"

"No, no, thank you, Your Highness, for praising me."

Father Su shook his head modestly, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

Su Yanzhou looked proud.

His Yue'er is just great!

Unfortunately, before he could even take a few sips of the medicinal meal today, it was snatched away by his father!

In the afternoon, Xiao Chengnian discussed some other matters with them.

He returned to the palace in the evening to pay his respects to the emperor.

As soon as he reached the palace gate, Huang Zhongsheng, the eunuch beside the emperor, came out to remind him that the regent was inside.

He nodded and stepped into the imperial study.

Emperor Jingjia Xiao Yu was wearing a bright yellow uniform and was sitting on the upper seat reviewing memorials, while Xiao Heng was sitting on a chair below sipping tea.

He walked forward and paid his respects.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor and greets his uncle."

Xiao Heng raised his eyelids slightly, his face still showing a cold and indifferent expression.

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand and asked him to stand up and sit down.

After Xiao Chengnian sat down, he reported to him that the spring recruitment was going smoothly.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. He was confident in the actions of Su Lin and his son.

"You did a great job on this."

"Go to Naruhito Palace to see your mother. She just sent someone to tell you to have dinner."

Xiao Chengnian replied,

"I have sent a message to my aunt who is close to my mother. I ate too much at lunch at the Imperial College today. I will dine with her tomorrow."

Xiao Heng didn't care.

The emperor frowned slightly.

Xiao Chengnian had a weak stomach since childhood and had a picky taste for food, so the chefs in the East Palace kitchen were specially selected from thousands of miles away.

But I have never seen him eat more than a few bites, let alone eat too much.

He wondered, "How could the Imperial College's dining hall be so delicious?"

Xiao Chengnian shook his head and smiled.

"That's not the case. I'm lucky today. Miss Su happened to prepare lunch for the Grand Tutor and his son, so I ate there for free."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Heng's brows twitched slightly, and his hand that was about to lift the tea lid paused.

The emperor frowned even deeper.

Miss Su?

Huang Zhongsheng stepped forward and explained, "She is the adopted daughter that the Grand Tutor adopted from the Ciyou Hall many years ago."

Xiao Chengnian nodded and smiled.

"Exactly."

"Miss Su is an excellent cook. I like her very much..."

Just as Xiao Chengnian said this, he heard a crisp "click" sound.

He was stunned at first, then looked in the direction of the sound.

Xiao Heng was still sitting there with an indifferent expression, but his whole body was emitting a cold air, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Chengnian.

The teacup in his hand just now had turned into pieces, the sharp porcelain pieces cut his palm, tea and blood dripped down his fingertips, but he seemed unaware.

Xiao Chengnian and Xiao Heng are not much different in age and grew up together. Xiao Heng is cold by nature and doesn't like to get close to others, but he has always had a good relationship with him.

After Xiao Heng returned to Beijing, there were many rumors in the court, saying that the regent was ambitious and coveted the throne.

But Xiao Chengnian knew that Xiao Heng had no interest in the throne, otherwise, with Xiao Heng's strength, he would not have been able to sit firmly on the throne of crown prince for so many years.

But it was the first time that Xiao Chengnian saw him looking at him in this way. He felt a chill down his spine and his whole body was covered in goosebumps.

He said cautiously,

"Uncle, are you okay?"

The emperor was also startled by Xiao Heng's sudden action.

Xiao Heng looked calm as he pulled out a handkerchief from his bosom and slowly wiped the blood off his hands.

The tone is light but makes people feel cold for no reason.

"What did you say you liked?"

Xiao Chengnian was a little confused.

"I really like the medicinal food made by Miss Su."

Xiao Heng glanced at him coldly, his eyes narrowed a little, and his tone softened a lot.

"Speak faster next time."

He nodded in agreement, secretly puzzled and complaining in his heart.

Does he speak slowly?

He always speaks like this.

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Heng meaningfully, as if he had discovered something interesting.
