On the streets of Lin'an, I walked slowly with Emperor Xuan Tian, who was wearing plain clothes and long robes. When we reached Qilixiang, he stopped and pulled me in. The shopkeeper had been replaced by a middle-aged man. When he saw us entering, he bowed
After greeting us with respectful words, we were led directly to the first pavilion upstairs. The shopkeeper looked at me, then turned to Emperor Xuan Tian, and asked respectfully: "Sir, as before, I still need something else."
"Add a bowl of longevity noodles and keep everything else as before." After he finished speaking, the shopkeeper withdrew.
Two years later, nothing about this first pavilion has changed at all. I couldn't help but sigh: "So it's you who bought the first pavilion." At that time, I was still wondering who was so mysterious.
"It's not the first pavilion, it's the entire Qilixiang. It's just that the first pavilion is the only one where no one is allowed to come in. It's strange. The furnishings here are very special and novel, but I feel very familiar. Maybe it's because you are always there."
He walked to the window and turned back to me. Because there was no light behind him, I couldn't see his eyes clearly.
I was suffocated. The design style here is very similar to the places where modern Lin Tian often hangs out. He said he is familiar with this place. Could it really be him?
He took out a long fragrant wood carving box, opened it and took out a purple jade hairpin. It was shining brilliantly, and it was obvious at first glance that it was extremely precious. He smiled and said: "This is an amethyst hairpin, my birthday gift to you. Do you like it?
?”
"My birthday?" He actually knows about my birthday, even I don't know much about it. In the past, he never remembered my birthday in modern times. He never gave me these things. But now that he has given them to me, it makes me depressed.
.
"Don't you even remember your birthday? I wanted to hold the concubine ceremony on your birthday, but it's a pity that the time is not right."
"Sir, the dishes are all ready, can they be served?" the shopkeeper asked at the door.
He said kindly, and all the dishes were served one by one. I was surprised to see that the dishes in front of me were all the same ones I ordered when I thought of teasing him. He sat next to me and looked at the dishes in front of him, which were very familiar to him.
The shopkeeper on the side slowly announced the name of the dish."

Buds, lotus tofu, mushrooms and broccoli, red bean porridge, seasonal fruit platter..."
After the dishes were served, I was a little dumbfounded, thinking that I really wasted food back then. No wonder God treated me like this.
He was excited when he arrived and introduced the dishes enthusiastically, "The most delicious part of the soft and plump lion-head goose is the goose head and the goose neck with the head. You can't imagine that the skin here is as good as pig skin."
It’s so thick and plump, but doesn’t feel greasy at all. Add garlic and white vinegar to it. Try it.”
"This ginkgo taro paste seems to be alive, sliding and trembling between the tongue and lips. It is the best sweetness in the world. People will feel better after eating it."
"The green part of the national dish is sweet potato leaves, and the white part is chicken minced meat. This dish is elegant and delicate, with a beautiful shape that makes you want to take a spoon. It is smooth and sweet in the mouth."
"Fish rice fish rice, as the name suggests, is fish as rice. The important feature of fish rice is that the fish meat is white and firm. When placed on the tongue, the fish meat fibers are strands and can be clearly felt."
“……………………………………”
It seems that I introduced the dishes to him in the same way back then, and he actually remembered it. Could it be that he had already... No, I must be imagining it. How could I be so charming? It must be because he has a good memory.
"Si'er, why don't you eat? You loved it back then." He put it into my bowl one after another, but found that I was just in a daze and refused to eat, so he asked strangely.
"Oh, okay!" I picked up the chopsticks and ate the delicious food in my mouth, but it was not as delicious as before.
"What? It doesn't taste good?" he frowned and asked.
"Ah? Of course not, it's delicious. It's just that I had breakfast later. It's still early at noon, so I'm not very hungry. If I eat too much, I'll be stuffed."
The corners of his mouth raised, "Then let's eat it later."
I graciously agreed and went to the terrace to watch the scene. He also came out and hugged me. I stopped pushing him. Anyway, the result would be worse than not pushing him. I just had to endure it for a few days.
Or faster.
"Master." His guard lowered his head tomorrow and said.
He let go of me and walked over. Tomorrow whispered, and he immediately returned to his usual indifference and dignity. Then, he walked over and said, "Si'er, I still have things to deal with, go back."
"If you have something to do, you don't need to accompany me. There are still so many dishes left uneaten? My aunts and uncles all told me not to waste food. I'll eat it before I leave." Actually, what I wanted to say was: Go back quickly.
Well, it's best to leave me alone.
"Okay, today is your birthday, it's up to you. Just don't be too willful. Tomorrow, you and Ling'er will take good care of Si'er." After saying that, he looked at tomorrow and walked out.
I was thinking about saying that I didn’t need anyone to accompany me, but when I thought about it, forget it, he is the emperor, and I am still picky about this and that. If I am not careful, I will be dragged back directly. I won’t be able to go anywhere by then.
I will go to the south of the city to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake tomorrow, and I will ask Ling'er to go to the west of the city to buy chrysanthemum tea.
After leaving the people around me, I was thinking about how to go to Baixiang Tower again. Yesterday Emperor Xuan Tian had already issued a message that I would not be allowed to go to that place again under any circumstances.
