Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 548 Sir, Please Stay (10)

Hearing the prince's praise for his son, Deng Neng's face suddenly showed pride, but he still said modestly: "Prince, it's just a child's doodle. It's my honor to be favored by you."

"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. My skills are limited and I am honored that Your Highness likes it." The person who spoke bowed slightly, with a humble and respectful attitude.

"Young Master Deng is also a well-read scholar with the demeanor of a scholar. I wonder if there is a chance for me to feast my eyes on his masterpieces?" Li Haozheng smiled with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"If Your Majesty does not mind, I can do it anytime. But my writing ability is limited, and I am afraid that my work may not please you." Young Master Deng waved his hands quickly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

After a few polite words, the atmosphere became more harmonious. At this time, Li Haozheng smiled and cast his eyes on the boy of the same age as himself.

I saw that the young man had red lips, white teeth, and a face as handsome as a jade. He looked like a carefully carved jade, emitting a warm luster.

His eyes were as bright as stars, deep and smart, like the brightest stars in the night sky, flashing with intelligence.

His figure is tall and slender, as straight as a green bamboo, and there is an air of elegance in his every move.

He was dressed in a blue robe, and his sleeves fluttered gently in the wind, adding a sense of elegance and grace. What a graceful and extraordinary young man!

"This must be the grandson of Chang Shi. He is indeed born with a good-looking appearance!" Li Haozheng couldn't help but admire.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. This man is my eldest grandson, named Wenjie." Chang Shiling responded modestly and gestured to the young man beside him to salute.

"Wenjie greets the prince." The young man bowed slightly, his movements smooth and flowing, showing his good upbringing.

"Great, what a great literary talent! Lord Chang Shi, your grandson is truly a talented person, and he will surely achieve great things in the future!" Li Haozheng said with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.

"Thanks to the prince's good words, Wenjie is sixteen, I hope he can do something."

A group of people started drinking and chatting. The people from the second house had never experienced this kind of official social interaction and did not understand the hidden meanings in the words of those scholars. They were a little restrained for a moment.

Li Haozheng and others still had to go to the border, so they had to leave quickly after staying in the governor's mansion for one night.

After the guests and hosts had a great time, Li Haozheng and others became drunk. When they woke up, the moon was already above the willows, but it was not yet completely dark outside. If they continued to head north, it would get dark even later.

"Your Highness is awake. Do you want some more hangover soup? I'll get it right away."

"No need, I'll just go for a walk and clear my mind."

Li Haozheng got up, put on his shoes, and after getting dressed, he started walking around the garden of Deng's house. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a fragrance in a corner.

He unconsciously walked through the stone door, but he didn't expect it to be a corner of a wall. The attendant next to him said, "Your Majesty, you have to go and take a look."

Aunt Cui came over and said, "Miss, the cakes are already steamed, and Madam will be back soon, so you'd better go."

Gu Yuxi moved the bricks away and knocked on the three piles of dirt with a stick. Deng Moci came over and asked, "Xiaoxi, is my beggar's chicken ready? The Guanghan cake is steamed."

"Almost there, I'll clean up this place."

Gu Yuxi picked up a broom and a basin of water and cleaned the area, while Deng Moci held the pastries and waited for Gu Yuxi to take the chicken out of the lotus leaf. The meat inside was already cut into several large pieces and she was afraid that it would fall apart.

"It smells so good, Xiaoxi, you're the best." Deng Moci took the chicken leg, dipped it in the sauce and started eating.

The follower saw Li Haozheng swallowing his saliva and couldn't help it himself. A woman-serving woman, two maids and a master, is the food so good?

"I've met the prince!"

The voice behind him brought Li Haozheng back to his senses. He turned around and saw Deng Wenjie bowing and explaining, "It's time for dinner. The servants couldn't find the prince, and Wenjie was looking for him everywhere. I didn't expect you to come to the garden."

"I just got lost. I will..."

"Brother, brother, please come quickly, I'll treat you..." Seeing Li Haozheng, Deng Moci, who was holding a chicken leg, was so scared that she put the chicken leg down and went to pay her respects with her maids and servants.

"I've met the prince."

"I guess this is Miss Moci, she's so cheerful and lively."

Deng Wenjie couldn't bear to look at Deng Moci's mouth full of oil, and said awkwardly: "My little sister is rude, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

"It's okay. Can we go sit in that yard?"

"Naturally."

Behind the wall of the yard were the houses of the female members of the family. Deng Wenjie followed Li Haozheng over and saw that Li Haozheng's eyes were fixed on the two unopened beggar chickens. He immediately understood what was going on.

"Your Majesty, would you like to sit here for a while?"

"We've walked a lot, let's take a rest."

"Xiao Xi, greet the prince and serve him tea and cakes."

"Yes, son."

The maid quickly went to Mrs. Deng's room and brought out the best tea set. Gu Yuxi made tea, and the table was placed with melon seeds, peanuts and pastries.

"Your Majesty, please have tea."

Li Haozheng drank the tea and found it tasted good. He said, "Yes, this tea is different from the one I have drunk before."

"This is made by the maids in the mansion using camellia and tea leaves. I hope Your Majesty likes it."

"I am sorry for interrupting you. The tea and pastries here are too fragrant. I didn't expect that the servants here have such skills. We have almost finished eating at the banquet, so we would like to have something lighter here."

Deng Wenjie signaled to Gu Yuxi, and she understood that they were going to have dinner here.

Gu Yuxi took away the unfinished beggar's chicken, picked up the plate, continued to cut the beggar's chicken that had already been cut into five or six pieces, and placed it in front of Li Haozheng. It was her top-quality spiritual chicken!

Two beggar's chickens were placed on the table. She was asked to go to Mrs. Deng's yard to get some light dishes. She could only watch her delicious food fly away.

Gu Yuxi could only bear it. The chef cooked all the light dishes. With the help of several maids and old women, a dish of fried yam and black fungus was ready. It was followed by stir-fried water bamboo shoots with three shreds, stewed cabbage with tofu and cold spinach salad, all of which were vegetarian!

"Wenjie, please sit down. You and I are of the same age. There's no need to be so reserved."

"Your Majesty, please use it."

Li Haozheng's eyes stayed on the roast chicken. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece for himself. With the freshly made dipping sauce, his mouth was filled with fragrance.

Deng Wenjie said to Gu Yuxi, who was carrying a plate of salad, "Xiaoxi, are there no more meat dishes?"

"Sir, Madam has always had a light diet, so there must be meat dishes in the kitchen over there."

Li Haozheng picked up a piece of cold spinach. All these vegetarian dishes were to his taste, and the chicken was enough as a meat dish.

"Wenjie, just vegetarian dishes are fine, every one of them is delicious."
