Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 323 Your Highness invites you to dinner
The wind was blowing, and the snow was rustling underground.

In the solemn and solemn government office, the officials had all been on duty early, but Hu Cao's side was still brightly lit.

Several small red-clothed officials sat on the porch with their sleeves rolled up, staring at the snowflakes flying all over the sky in a daze.

Someone showed sorrow: "Master Tang, why don't you leave!"

Some people have nothing to love in life: "It's such a cold day, does he still have to go to the public kitchen for supper..."

Someone was dejected: "That's not true, his favorite is the meal of the public chef!"

Someone swallowed his saliva: "But... I heard that the public chef has pork elbows tonight!"

A group of people immediately beamed with joy: "Really! Then we'd better wait! The sauced elbow from the public chef is better than that from Deyuelou!"

While whispering, a person flew over from the corridor.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was Yuan Ce, the commander of the guards of the Eastern Palace, who was dressed in brocade and saber.

"His Royal Highness has an order to summon Lord Tang!"

Tang Heng poked his head out of Xiao Shangao's pile of files: "His Royal Highness!"

His Royal Highness finally remembered him?

Is this going to promote him?

Hey!
Tang Heng was so happy that he threw the file in his hand on the desk, straightened his official hat hastily, and ordered loudly: "Quick, bring me those snow-proof and slip-resistant shoes!"

"And the cloak, I want that brocade!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, when I have good news, your rewards will be indispensable!"

When Tang Heng dressed neatly in a hurry, and happily appeared in front of Yuan Ce, Yuan Ce felt a little sympathetic for a while: "Master Tang..."

Snowflakes fluttered, and Tang Heng didn't feel cold when it fell on his face. He just felt cool and comfortable. Hearing Yuan Ce's words, he stopped and said with a smile, "Guard Yuan, what else can I order?"

Yuan Ce hesitated to speak: "Your Highness called you, it's just some private matter..."

Private matter?

Tang Heng was even happier when he heard it.

Isn't His Royal Highness's private matter just a matter between the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess?
"Great!" Tang Heng stroked his goat's mustache, approached mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "Is it related to the Crown Princess? Well, the Crown Princess has a good relationship with the next official! When she was not out of the cabinet , I sent a lot of delicious food to the subordinate!"

"Hiss..." When it came to eating, Tang Heng thought of tonight's sauced elbow, and couldn't help swallowing, "Don't think the princess looks so delicate, but she is so good at cooking, even My family members are full of praise! The shredded sour radish is sliced ​​thin and long, put it in the fish and stew it together, hiss...the taste is really good!"

Yuan Ce gave him a strange look: "Then you are really lucky this time!"

"Wow?" Tang Heng was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Did the Crown Princess say something nice for me in front of the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince finally remembered to reward me with something nice?"

Yuan Ce was silent: "This... I don't know if it's a good thing..."

Tang Heng blinked: "Then guard Yuan will reveal it in advance?"

"Don't be too happy, there is no reward, I just... told you to eat." Yuan Ce thought it would be better to let him know the truth.

"Eat!" Tang Heng became even more excited when he heard it, and said happily: "I like eating the most! Let me tell you, in the entire Chang'an City, no one knows how to eat better than me!"

He swallowed his saliva again as he spoke: "Oh, I don't know that Your Highness is in the middle of the night, please go over and prepare something delicious..."

"Master Tang, pay attention to your appearance." Seeing that he had already stepped into the main entrance of the East Palace, Yuan Ce couldn't help but remind him.

Tang Heng quickly adjusted the official hat on his head again, and even cleared his throat, trying to make himself look tidy and fresh.

Yuan Ce felt more sympathetic to him, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Doctor Gu is here."

If you are poisoned after eating, someone will rescue you in time.

Tang Heng thought Yuan Ce was worried that he was too nervous, so he patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, this is not the first time I see Your Highness! However, it would be better to have Doctor Gu here, he and I can be regarded as a little friendly, and we can drink a few more glasses together later... Oh, I am really flattered to think that His Highness misses me so much!"

Yuan Ce couldn't help it, and almost laughed out loud: "Pfft..."

"Ah?" Tang Heng hurriedly walked, turned to look at Yuan Ce, "What are you laughing at?"

Yuan Ce snapped back his smile, and said with a serious face: "No, no, nothing! I'm just happy for you!"

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the gate of the inner hall.

Tang Heng hurriedly straightened his collar, swept his sleeves, and touched his belt to make sure that he was meticulous, before bowing respectfully before the steps: "Your Majesty Tang Heng, see Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

With a flash of white clothes, Gu Hansu ran out impatiently, beckoning to him happily: "Master Tang, come in quickly!"

"Hello Doctor Gu!" Tang Heng bowed his hands with a smile on his face, and followed Gu Hansu into the inner hall.

"See His Royal Highness, Crown Princess."

After another respectful and joyful salute, Tang Heng raised his head.

"You don't need to be too polite." Li Xuanye raised his hand slightly, and said with a pleasant face: "Master Tang came in time, by the way, have you had dinner yet?"

"No!" Tang Heng replied with a smile, his heart bursting with joy.

Li Xuanye gave a "hmm" and said gently, "That's just a coincidence. I have something to reward you, but I don't know if Mr. Tang likes it or not."

"I like it!" Tang Heng didn't even ask, and quickly agreed, his eyes narrowed with joy: "Your Highness rewarded you, it must be something you can't get outside, how could the officials not like it!"

"Then don't worry!" Li Xuanye nodded, raised his hand and said, "It's really not available outside."

Zhao Xiwei personally helped him pull a chair, and said with a smile, "Master Tang please."

Tang Heng sat down next to Gu Hansu, and waited for a while, but no one served the food.

He felt a little strange, couldn't help but look at Gu Hansu quietly, and asked softly, "What do you eat?"

With a light push, Gu Hansu pushed a bowl in front of him, and said with a warm smile, "Please."

Tang Heng was stunned for a moment: "Is that the only thing?" His Majesty the dignified prince, invited his ministers to dinner, and there was only one bowl of soup?
"What else do Master Tang want to eat?" Li Xuanye slightly raised his eyebrows.

"No, no, the officer thinks this is very good..."

Holding the bowl of milk soup, Tang Heng was on the verge of tears.

Not to mention the loss of the public chef's supper, but also to face such an ordinary bowl of soup...

Sitting aside, Zhao Xiwei slowly tore the dried fish into long strips and put them in a small jasper-colored bowl.

Li Xuanye's eyes fell on her fingertips.

Young women love beauty, and often keep long nails, and then use impatiens to dye them in beautiful colors.

But Zhao Xiwei doesn't like such fancy dresses. Her nails are always clean and trimmed into beautiful oval shapes. Her fingers are well-proportioned and slender. The fingertips are pink like peach blossom. Her movements are flexible and swift, without any squeamishness or slowness.
