Chen Yuanquan didn't understand why Emperor Hui got angry, he replied frankly: "Go back to Your Majesty, play around."

Li Ji didn't say anything, just looked down at the ground.

Emperor Hui frowned and said, "Playing around?"

"Yeah, brother and brother are playing around, Your Majesty, have you ever had such a fight with your own brother when you were young?" Chen Yuanli was straightforward, but his attitude was respectful. After all, to fight with the emperor would be too much to eat. long.

Emperor Hui stared at him and said nothing.

Li Ji was worried, and lightly tugged on Chen Yuan's clothes, motioning him to talk less.

Chen Yuan shut up and said nothing more.

The long silence was broken by Li Geng's "brother".

"Brother, it's killing me, it's so delicious..." Li Geng ran into the house, saw Emperor Hui suddenly stopped, and slipped away without even hesitating.

"Come back!" Emperor Hui said with a livid face, "What's the matter?"

Li Geng was very timid, and lowered his head: "Cousin brought spicy crayfish, my child is full of food."

Emperor Hui looked at Li Geng expressionlessly, and fell into the memory of the words "spicy crayfish". It was when he was studying at Dongshan Academy before he was enthroned. that smell.Although there are cooks in the palace who can cook, but the taste is not that good.

Two days ago, when I went to Xihuanghuang for dinner, I tasted a few spicy crayfish sent by Chen Yuan. It was the same taste back then, and it aroused the glutton in his belly at that time, but as the king of a country, he can't ask children Ask for spicy crayfish.

For the past two days, he was very sad because he was hungry.

Hearing Li Geng say that Chen Yuan gave spicy crayfish again, he suddenly felt that the emperor was not as good as his son, even if he wanted to eat spicy crayfish when he was young, he couldn't eat it.

There was a long silence, so long that Chen Yuan, Li Ji and Li Geng stared at each other, wondering what Emperor Hui was thinking.

"Father, father, the child is telling the truth." Without waiting for an answer, Li Geng was uncertain, and opened his mouth in a low voice, lowering his head even lower.

Emperor Hui couldn't see his cowardice, and said sternly: "Raise your head and speak!"

Li Geng raised his head immediately.

"And you two!" Emperor Hui turned and shouted at Chen Yuan and the others.

Both Chen Yuan and Li Ji raised their heads and straightened their backs.

"So, you entered the palace to deliver food to these two boys?" Emperor Hui asked.

Chen Yuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is like this, the two younger brothers love to eat, and as an older brother, I am free today, so I made some and sent them to my younger brothers."

Hearing that the queen said Chen Yuan did it before, Emperor Hui still didn't believe it, but he was surprised when he heard it today: "You really know how to do it?"

Chen Yuanyuan didn't hesitate to mess around, like his ancestors at home, if he said he could cook, it would be as surprising as hearing that the cats and dogs raised at home could cook.

Look at the question, Chen Yuan thought to himself, it seems that if I don't show anything, I can't get rid of your suspicion, so he said: "Your Majesty, how about we go to the imperial dining room and my nephew will show you something?"

Li Ji and Li Geng gasped at the same time.

Emperor Hui was greedy, and Chen Yuan's words undoubtedly made him secretly happy, so he pretended to be stern, and rolled his eyes: "Okay, I want to see what flavor you can make."

Both Li Ji and Li Geng were taken aback.

Emperor Hui issued an order, and soon, the news that Emperor Hui watched the prime minister's son cooking spread all over the palace.

In the prime minister's mansion, the eldest lady was chatting happily with a group of sisters while eating melon seeds. When she heard the prime minister's son cooking in the imperial dining room, she suddenly felt ominous, but then she thought, the two prime ministers may not necessarily belong to her family. .

He was comforting himself here, when he saw Chen Weichang striding outward with a livid face.The eldest lady's right eye jumped, and she hurriedly ordered the servant girl to inquire.

The maid came back and whispered something in her ear, and the melon seeds fell from the lady's hand.

A lot of court ladies and eunuchs gathered outside the imperial dining room, you crowded me, and I hugged you to look in the imperial study.

Before Chen Weichang's sedan chair reached the imperial dining room, he couldn't move. A large group of court ladies and eunuchs, like a talent show, all came to the imperial dining room to join in the fun.

He ordered his entourage to ask what was going on, and before he could ask, he heard a little eunuch laughing and saying: "The young master of Xiangfu is a cook."

As soon as the words fell, everyone around laughed.

Chen Weichang's face was so dark that it was the bottom of the pot. He sat there with a murderous look on his face, glared at the little eunuch, and called the left-hand entourage, Jin Gang.

Jin Gang stepped forward and yelled, everyone shut up immediately, and they all lowered their heads not daring to say anything, the little eunuch who was joking just now lost all color on his face, and his body fell down as if his bones had been pulled out. on the ground.

If Chen Weichang called the right follower Jin Cheng, he still has a way to survive, but if he called the left follower Jin Gang, he would surely die.

Jin Gang ordered the imperial guards to take down all the people and set up rules, what should be killed, what should be beaten, and what should be punished.

"This group of slaves are getting more and more unruly! I owe you a lesson!" Chen Weichang snorted coldly, got out of the sedan chair, flung his official robes, and strode towards the imperial dining room.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard applause coming from inside. He was startled, and hurriedly looked in through the window, only to find that it was Li Geng applauding, and he was relieved.Looking at Chen Yuan, he immediately took a deep breath.

Chen Yuan was cooking happily around the pot with this big shovel, he was serious, he was energetic, and his gestures showed his superb cooking skills.

The veins on Chen Weichang's forehead twitched suddenly, and he wanted to kill Chen Yuan.He was about to rush in, but it was as if the soles of his feet had taken root, and he couldn't move, really couldn't move.

Shame, so shameful.

He looked along the window again, and saw Chen Yuan with a face full of enjoyment, and with his delicate fingers, he picked up a handful of peppercorns and threw them into the pot gracefully, and then picked up a handful of dried red peppers and sprinkled them into the pot gracefully.

Spicy to death you son of a bitch!Chen Weichang gritted his teeth and scolded secretly.

Chen Yuan ordered Li Geng to add fire to the pot, and he started to stir fry again, grunting and panting tiredly.Looking at it this way, it really looks like a future royal chef.

The corners of Chen Weichang's mouth twitched, he was so angry that he didn't care about anything else, he strode into the imperial dining room, and said angrily: "Chen Yuan! You bastard!" After saying that, he bowed his head to Emperor Hui, begged for forgiveness, and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, The dog is incapable of teaching, and I leave it to His Majesty to punish."

Emperor Hui was looking forward to the hot and spicy crayfish coming out of the pot with the corners of his mouth curled up, but he was disturbed by the sudden arrival of Youcheng Chen Weichang. It's not pleasing to the eye, but he, the emperor who looks like a display, has no other choice but to pretend to be a pig and a tiger, and pretend to be a fool.

"Hey, You Cheng, I'm serious. It's what I agreed with A Yuan. He made a spicy crayfish for my uncle to taste." Emperor Hui smiled and said, "Such a filial child is too late to be rewarded, so why punish him?" .”

Chen Weichang was speechless, looking at Chen Yuan's busy back, he was furious.The son of his majestic right-hand man came to the imperial dining room to cook, it was really shameful to throw it in the palace, let him hope that his son would become a dragon, and his heart suddenly became cold to the soles of his feet.

Chen Yuan was not afraid of his father, and with the support of Emperor Hui's words, he immediately said cheerfully, "Father, it's better to come sooner than later, and you will be ready to serve immediately. You should sit down quickly and have a snack with uncle." lobster."

Chen Weichang: "..."

Pinch people.

"Yes, yes, You Cheng, hurry up, it's rare that the children are all here today, let's have a taste." Emperor Hui was still smiling.

Chen Weichang's mouth was twisted with anger.

That night, when the father and son returned to the mansion, Chen Weichang scolded and kicked him all the way, and when he entered the mansion, he locked Chen Yuan into the command room.That night Chen Weichang pinched the people who spent the whole night.

Chen Yuan was busy working in the kitchen. He was tired and sleepy at the moment. He said that he knelt down in the punishment room to think about his mistakes, but in fact he fell asleep on the kneeling mat. He was drooling and sleeping soundly before dawn. Wei Chang was beaten violently.

Chen Yuan was aggrieved and consciously wronged, he didn't blame his father for being angry, he apologized obediently, brought his mother and Mr. Chen Zhang over, and finally knelt down in the ancestral hall to reassure Chen Weichang in front of the ancestors.

But Chen Weichang was still furious, and he wanted to punish Chen Yuan to kneel in the command room, and an imperial decree of reward came down to the mansion.

Chen Weichang and even the whole family were stunned, but they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why Chen Weichang became so angry was because he was afraid that Emperor Hui's smiling face would use Chen Yuan to find their Chen family.

A Ye reported the fact that Chen Yuan received the award truthfully, and Li Ji, who was sweating coldly for Chen Yuan, couldn't help being amused at the moment. He thought that punishment would be inevitable if he didn't pick up the skin, but he won the award with a meal. It's really...

He smiled and suddenly wanted to see Chen Yuan.

Although Chen Yuan was beaten violently by his father, cooking for His Majesty has spread throughout the court. It is rare that the son of the prime minister can cook, and he has set a good example for the descendants of civil and military officials , followed suit one after another, letting their children learn to cook.

Chen Weichang had never expected that things would develop like this, and what was even more unexpected was that because Emperor Hui boasted that the spicy crayfish was delicious, Chen Yuan swaggered and went to the palace to ask Emperor Hui for the signboard of "the best shrimp in the world". .

"Brother." Seeing Chen Yuan, Li Ji's eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face: "Why are you here?"

"Ask your father for something."

"What are you asking for?" Li Ji fixed his big eyes on him.

"Ask for the signboard of the best shrimp in the world." Chen Yuan smiled triumphantly.

"The best shrimp in the world?"

"Yes, if I can't enter the officialdom in the future, I will open a spicy crayfish restaurant and make a living from it." Chen Yuan is quite satisfied with this dream.

Li Ji curled his lips: "Is this the ambition of the son of the dignified prime minister?"

"Everyone has his own ambitions, you can't look down on me." Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Cousin, with your father's golden signboard, I will definitely become the richest man in the country."

I can't bear to look down on you.Li Ji said in his heart, but said on his mouth: "You go, I will wait for you here, and then go out of the palace with you to play." After speaking, he added: "Father Huang allowed me to go out of the palace."

Chen Yuan: "Is he really treating you better than before?"

Li Ji looked at Chen Yuan, and said "Mmm" softly.

Chen Yuan was happy for him: "After leaving the palace, brother will take you fishing."

"Okay." Li Ji smiled: "Call Brother Geng."

"Hey, take the initiative to play with my younger brother and make progress." Chen Yuan smiled.

"Then do you want to reward me with something?" Li Ji blurted out.

Chen Yuan was funny, and wanted to say something, but he replied in a strange way: "What do you mean by reward?"

Li Ji thought for a while: "I'll talk about it after I think it over. You owe it first."

"Row."

Now Li Ji was even happier, and the way he kept smiling looked very silly in Chen Yuan's eyes.
