For a moment, no one was embarrassed to compete with a child for position, not to mention that this child was still their monarch and held a high position of authority, so no one wanted to consider the importance of this.

Chen Baiqi didn't realize that they were fighting openly and secretly. When he saw Xiaoguai sitting close to her, he adjusted the stool for him: "Of course, the soup pot is too hot, so it's not convenient for you to do it yourself. Tell me what you want to eat and I will pick it up for you."

Is there such a good thing?

Xiaoguai smiled in surprise and rolled her eyes, like two moon buds, and pulled her hand: "Thank you, Taifu."

Xiaoguai had sat down neatly and neatly next to Chen Baiqi. In this way, there was only one seat left beside her. At this time, Xie Yingyi naturally sat down in the style of a royal palace, while talking to Chen Baiqi calmly: "Ah

Rui, what kind of pot head did you order today? It doesn’t seem to be the store’s signature dish.”

Sijiang was a step too late and gritted her teeth secretly.

Seeing him sitting next to Chen Baiqi so naturally and casually, they remembered that it was natural for him to be upright and upright. If even his own husband couldn't sit next to his wife, then others would be even less suitable.

Xie Yingyi's current demeanor, which was neither humble nor arrogant, reminded Xiangbo Xunhuo of the time when he had been forced to deny his relationship with Chen Baiqi in public. Today, he finally no longer had any scruples and flinched, and could openly declare his ownership in front of them.

Those who say they are honest do not understand scheming, and those who say their hearts are as clear as mirrors do not care about their past misdeeds. When they encounter a treasure that everyone wants to grab, even the docile animal will show its sharp canine teeth to the aggressor.

Xiangbo Xunhuo chuckled in a low voice, without showing any too much emotion. Seeing that he had lost all hope, he also chose a seat and sat down.

It was Chen Baiqi who was planning the dinner today. He didn't want to upset her by making a fuss. Besides, it didn't matter if he "seized the initiative" on some things. The louder he screamed, the less sure he was to hold on to it. What he wanted was never to declare sovereignty, but her heart.

A heart that will not be shaken by anyone.

His position happened to be face to face with Chen Baiqi. Everyone else also chose a seat and took their seats. The atmosphere was inexplicably silent for a moment.

Chen Baiqi was a little confused about their status tonight, but she also tried to break the deadlock and liven up the atmosphere. She smiled and said: "I specially prepared a wolfberry mutton soup pot today. It happens to be snowing today. It is nourishing and warming. You guys have a taste."

."

There is a set of tableware in front of everyone, including bowls, plates and spoons, making eating very convenient and complete.

After a while, twelve glass cups were stacked into a wine tower and delivered. There were twelve kinds of fruit wine, sour, sweet, and astringent. In addition, there were various beautifully arranged braised dishes, fried snacks, steamed and grilled snacks.

Pastries, these are prepared for little ones. The mutton soup pot is too dry. Children are already full of yang energy and will not eat too much and get angry.

"Are these recipes made by Taifu himself?" Baili Panan was always considerate, so he helped and cooperated with her.

"No, I came across something I had never tasted when I was traveling before and wanted to research it. There are different delicacies in various places, but transportation is inconvenient. With the war, trade in various countries has become more and more tense, and many places are blocked. Some amazing recipes have disappeared.

So I asked people to collect some, and then adapted and tasted them myself, and finally decided on the most appropriate ingredients for the soup pot."

"I came here a few days ago and ordered a pork ribs and mushroom flavor soup. It was extremely delicious." Xiangbo also agreed.

Chen Baiqi smiled and said: "Your Excellency likes the mild flavor, but I love the strong green pepper spicy chicken pot. It's sour and spicy in one bite, and the juicy chicken melts in your mouth, which is endless aftertaste."

Xiangbo looked at her with a smile and said: "It's not that I have to eat light and healthy food, but I'm used to the taste. Now that you recommended it, I feel that it's refreshing to try something else occasionally."

"As for the variety, there are many varieties in the cafeteria, so you can eat whatever you want." Wu Changting also chatted with them.

Si Jiang's foxy eyes narrowed slightly: "When it comes to food, I'm more expert than all the busy people here. I've been to all Chen Rui's restaurants and I know all the food signs there. Just ask me what flavor you want to eat.

Just recommend it.”

As long as adults are willing to open up the topic, they can talk endlessly.

But Xiao Guai didn't have any intention to participate. He usually ate the food prepared by the palace, and even if he went out to eat, he was restricted. Today, the Taifu did not force him to eat staple food, but gave him a small meal.

A bowl of fragrant mutton soup, let him eat what he likes.

Maybe children like fried food. The crispy and fragrant texture conquered the little boy immediately and made him focus entirely on it.

"Master, what is this?" He tugged at the corner of Chen Baiqi's clothes.

Chen Baiqi turned his head and looked at what he was pointing at: "This is French fries."

fries?

What? I don’t understand.

Xiaoguai said excitedly: "What about this one?"

“Chicken nuggets.”

"What about this, this and this?"

Chen Baiqi helplessly looked at Xiao Guai, who had tried one after another, with bright eyes, and patiently answered one by one: "Milk-fried banana balls, eggplant rings and meat croquettes."

"Xiao Guai has never eaten it. Will I let the people in the palace cook it for Xiao Guai every day?" At this time, Xiao Guai was just a snack food who was captured by delicious food and did not understand moderation.

"No." Chen Baiqi refused flatly. Seeing Xiaoguai's shocked look on his face, she sighed softly and explained: "After all, they are only irritating snacks. They are not as good for the body as staple food with meat and vegetables. Every day

No, but occasionally it’s okay.”

Although the Taifu finally relaxed the conditions, he was still a little disappointed with the little boy above him: "Okay then."

Everyone else also relaxed at once. They were all familiar people and could pick up any topic. They chatted, drank, and ate. The warm atmosphere finally lost the coldness at the beginning.

After eating this meal for an hour, the wine tower changed two rounds, and there was a table full of empty glasses. I was more or less drunk.

Only Xiaoguai was not allowed to drink alcohol when he was still young, even if it was fruit wine with a low alcohol content, but Chen Baiqi prepared juice for him. Children always go to bed early and dozed off as soon as the body's clock reached. Chen Baiqi saw the wind outside.

The snow still persists, so I plan not to send him back to the palace tonight, but to let him stay temporarily in the "Fasting and Non-vegetarian" hotel. There is a room on the second floor, just in case of drunken guests who are inconvenient.

.

Xiaoguai fell on her and was about to fall asleep. The palace attendants behind her wanted to come up and hug her, but Chen Baiqi shook his head and without resorting to any help, he spoke to them and picked up Xiaoguai who automatically snuggled into her arms.

Go to the second floor to rest.

Several people present here had the eyes to see her meticulous care for King Qin, and they unexpectedly remembered the bet that had been set up not long ago.

Asked who among the four people Xie Yingyi, Xiangbo Xunhuo, Baili Peinan and Si Jiang, who was the most important person in Chen Taifu's heart?

As a result, the person who chose Jing won all the bets.

The defeated foursome felt that they had just drank wine, but for some reason their mouths were sour. Suddenly, they felt uncomfortable. But who could really care about winning or losing with a child, so they could only start feeling depressed.

A new round of drinking.

In the end, some of the tipsy people were a little too drunk.

Wu Changting stood aside and did not participate or take any active role. He only lamented that his Holy Master had done evil.

After Chen Baiqi settled the little boys and went downstairs, he saw them looking a little drunk.

Although some of them were drunk, they were not delirious, and they still maintained a certain degree of sanity.

It's getting late. I don't know if these people are in a good mood or a bad mood today. They lack the restraint of the past. After a few rounds of drinking, the fruit wine, no matter how low the alcohol content, can be intoxicating. If so, I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up with the night.

On the way back home, we might as well rest here together.

Before letting them go upstairs to rest, Chen Baiqi remembered something, took the cloth bag aside and took out five dolls.

"In honor of the festival, I will each give you the same gift."

She didn't choose specifically, she just blindly selected one and handed it to the nearest person, and then distributed it.

Although it was a bit sudden, they still reached out and took it one by one.

After all, people whose brains are affected by alcohol are a bit dull, no matter how shrewd they are.

Baili Panan was a little dazed: "...Why do you want to send puppets?"

It seemed like every gift she gave him was unexpected.

"Are you treating us like children?" Si Jiang sneered.

In fact, what he is really dissatisfied about is why everyone has it, even Wu Changting. What does this mean, a good person opens a warehouse to provide disaster relief and save all sentient beings?

Only Xiangbo Xunhuo present knew that before they saw Chen Baiqi, he had indeed given a doll to comfort the child.

Xie Yingyi squeezed the puppet Fuwa in his hand and said to himself: This needlework, the fabric and the workmanship are all very ordinary. If Ari likes puppets, he will definitely be able to make better ones than this if he practices diligently in the future.

Muppets.

Wu Changting, well, he said that he would happily accept any gift from the Holy Lord, and whether he liked it or not was not his concern at all.

Chen Baiqi glanced at their expressions one by one, smiled meaningfully and said: "Don't you care about the bet in the market? You guys have everything that little boy has."

When they heard this, they didn't know how to react to her words.

However, they understood what she meant when she said this.

In her heart, Xiaoguai is very important, but so are they.

——

The next day, a piece of fish belly white floated on the horizon, and everything was silent. Except for the occasional sound of heavy snow falling to the ground, Chen Baiqi always got up early. He opened the window and looked outside the building. He found that the heavy snowfall last night had stopped and it was completely white outside.

The clothes are plain and the air is especially fresh and refreshing.

As soon as she got up, she wanted to go to the next room to see if Xiao Guai was awake. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Chief Pei Nan pushing the door out of the room. At just the right time, they turned around at the same time and looked at each other.

He asked her very politely: "Master, can I talk to you?"

Chen Baiqi was a little surprised that he was drunk last night, but he was able to get up early today. What kind of magical perseverance was this?

As for the conversation he was talking about, I guess it was some head-shaking business.

Thinking that there were palace guards keeping watch over Xiao Guai, it wouldn't hurt to go and see him later, so he nodded: "Of course."

Chen Baiqi stepped back and entered the room, letting Chief Peinan come in to talk.

"Excuse me." He said very politely.

Chen Baiqi thought that he would start talking to her when he came in, but she didn't want him to stop talking to her after entering her room. Instead, he closed the door first and locked it carefully.

The crisp clicking sound of the lock reached Chen Baiqi's ears: "..."
