Chapter 882 Steamed Bun
Dishes of exquisite side dishes were placed on the table. In addition to a bowl of Japonica rice porridge, there was also a delicious stew of the emperor's favorite pigeon soup, which made people's mouths water.

No matter how troubled I am or when my stomach growls, I can't resist the temptation of delicious food. What's more, my son prepares the dishes himself and would say a few soothing words to make him smile from time to time. No matter how much I miss Xiao Yan's extraordinary ability and how sad Xiao Yu's inaction is, At this moment, enjoying the family happiness of a father, the emperor's heart still calmed down.

Not only did he calm down, but he also comforted himself: Even if Xiao Yan was alive, being able to give him a face would make him feel that the outstanding Diocesan could be an excellent heir, but he might not be as caring as Xiao Yu, who is so considerate that it makes his whole body feel like he is bathed in spring light.

This kind of family affection is a rare luxury in the Tian family.

Regarding future generations... wish yourself well!

After a light but delicious dinner, the emperor's anger finally dissipated as his stomach was filled.

Early the next morning, just before the emperor went to court, Xiao Yu came over with a new breakfast.

He walked in with a smile on his face and said, "Father, if you don't have a son to serve you, you won't have much breakfast, right?" As he spoke, he swept the memorial in front of the emperor with his arm, put the food box directly on the table, opened the lid and took it out.

"Come on, Father, I have prepared the stuffing myself, Ming Lu has made the Xiao Long Bao, and there is millet porridge, Father, please have some more!"

In that way, it seemed that this was not an imperial study at all, the emperor was not the emperor, and he was not a prince. It was just an ordinary ordinary people's home. The son brought the meal to his father and put it on the kang table. However, this was a piece of golden nanmu specially approved by the memorial. Kang table.

The emperor glanced at the small dumplings that didn't look very good, and was about to wave his hands to refuse when he heard Xiao Yu say: "This morning, the emperor's grandmother and Gu Yuqing each ate one basket, and the minister sent one to his mother and concubine. After the concubine finished eating, someone asked for another half of the cage. I wonder if the concubine would have been able to eat this much when she was pregnant with her son!"

Xiao Yu said the word "edible" in a coherent manner, and the emperor immediately smiled and pursed his lips. He didn't know how Concubine Hui, who always paid attention to maintenance, would look when she heard her son commenting on her like this.

At the moment when the emperor's thoughts flashed, Xiao Yu had already taken out a fat white steamed dumpling and handed it to the emperor. While pouring ginger vinegar on it, he rubbed it in front of the emperor like a candy, and said: "Father, Your Majesty, did the concubine also like to eat steamed dumplings when she was pregnant with my son? What was it like when the concubine was pregnant with my son?"

Full of curiosity.

After taking a bite of the xiaolongbao, the juice was full and soaked in one mouthful. The mellow taste was originally shocking, but the emperor's mind was suddenly struck by lightning.

Half of the small cage was contained in his mouth. For a moment, he forgot to refuse. A pair of eyes, like iron hooks, stared straight at the half of the cage on the chopsticks in his hand. The memory buzzed towards him like a returning bee.

This taste... A few years ago, in Concubine Mei's palace, what he ate most was this Xiao Long Bao.

And this ginger vinegar, only the ginger vinegar in Mei Fei’s palace is sprinkled with white sesame seeds...

After finally being frightened, his mind slowly recovered. A pair of frightened eyes turned straight to Xiao Yu, "This bun...you said you prepared the fillings yourself?"

Xiao Yu nodded, "Concubine Li was demoted to a palace maid, and her palace was sealed off by the chamberlain. I thought that since the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was so wealthy, there might be something good about Concubine Li that I had never seen before. Not to mention how valuable the things were, I just wanted to make Gu Yuqing play with them. However, he didn't find anything else. Instead, he found a food recipe in the interlayer of a small rosewood box belonging to Concubine Li. Erchen took a closer look and found out that It’s a filling recipe.”

"It must be something rare that was hidden so well by Concubine Li. I followed that recipe and mixed the fillings. I didn't expect... tsk tsk... Concubine Li is really a treasure hidden in the golden house!"

The emperor was immediately shocked, "You said this filling was mixed according to that recipe? Did you get the recipe from Concubine Li?"

Due to the previous shock, half of the xiaolongbao in his mouth was rolled up by his tongue. It took him a long time to swallow it. The last bite was about to slide down his throat. When Xiao Yu said this again, the blood in his body suddenly surged. The emperor's hand trembled, and half of the white and fat steamed bun that was caught on the chopsticks fell down immediately.

"Pa", ginger juice and vinegar splashed up, staining the bright yellow clothes.

The recipe found by Concubine Li has the same taste as Concubine Mei's... If it is said that Concubine Li entered the palace, it would be fine if Concubine Mei stole Concubine Li, but this taste came before Concubine Li entered the palace. Before, the emperor had eaten it countless times!
The head chamberlain didn't know what was going on. Xiao Yu's voice fell, and along with the "pop" sound, the head chamberlain's voice sounded at the same time, "It turns out that the Fourth Highness was looking for this yesterday."

His words can be regarded as verification of Xiao Yu's words just now.

Xiao Yu nodded and did not take the blame from the head chamberlain. Instead, he looked at the emperor's expression of shock and frowned, "What's wrong, father? Is this bun unpalatable?"

As he spoke, he picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth. His buns were already thin in skin but big in filling. He took one bite each, chewed a few mouthfuls, and frowned deeper, "It's obviously delicious! What's wrong with Father?" Did you remember something?"

Then, suddenly with hindsight, his face was full of surprise, "Is it possible that the father is angry because his son went to Concubine Li's palace to check in private?"

The emperor's mouth moved slightly, and he almost fell down with a plop. He leaned back against the back of the chair, shook his head, and murmured: "This recipe should belong to Concubine Mei."

"No, no, no, I dug it out from Concubine Li's place. How could it be Concubine Mei's? How could Concubine Mei's things be in Concubine Li's place..." Just now he was shaking his head in denial, but suddenly he remembered something, After a pause, he said, "That's not necessarily true. Concubine Mei's golden steps and earrings are also with Concubine Li!"

She seemed to have figured it out, but then her mind was filled with confusion, "But, what does Concubine Li want with this recipe? If she wants to use this to make her father happy, but this is what Concubine Mei has used before. She If he dares to use it again, wouldn't it immediately expose her stealing Mei Fei's things, but if he doesn't use it...why does she have to beg for nothing to steal it and then carefully hide it?"

"Could it be that she often cooks a pot of steam to satisfy her cravings?"

Xiao Yu's previous analysis was quite decent, and he looked as shrewd as Xiao Duo or Xiao Yi, but when he said the last sentence, he immediately returned to his original form.

The emperor's excitement and shock were somewhat dissipated by his serious nonsense.

He glanced at Xiao Yu and said to the chief chamberlain: "Go and investigate secretly to find out what happened. What else happened that year that I don't know about? Find out everything for me!"

Chamberlain, please execute immediately.
