In Zhong Yangming's impression, Liu Yan was his wife's most proud general.
She is also a strong woman who has won the trust of His Majesty and is in charge of the Imperial Guard.
She values love and justice, and is upright.
Such women actually fell under Xiao Tian's male lust.
Zhong Yangming admitted that Xiao Tian was indeed very handsome, but when did his daughter, even Liu Yan, become someone whose appearance was valued?
"Liu Yan, you...how did you..." Zhong Yangming looked at Liu Yan and was speechless for a while.
"Zhong Shangshu, please don't get me wrong. I just think it would be too unfair to judge the prince based on his performance alone." Liu Yan knew that Zhong Yangming had misunderstood, so she just shook her head and explained.
She promised Xiao Tian that she would not expose his secrets.
But she was not willing to let Zhong Yangming accuse Xiao Tian so casually.
Looking at Liu Yan's serious expression and Zhong Yangming's silence, he understood her character.
He knew that the other party looked like this, so he was really angry.
"Humph, dad is too unreasonable." Zhong Ling also snorted coldly, feeling unfair for Xiao Tian.
Zhong Yangming stared, looking at Zhong Ling staring at him angrily, a little flustered, and quickly waved his hands: "Ling'er, dad is not..."
Zhong Ling continued to speak angrily: "Thank you, the Prince, for persuading me to stay at home to eat and talk to dad more."
"It's a good thing that you didn't even understand the cause of the matter before you came forward, so you just casually accused the prince."
"Dad, you can eat this meal tonight by yourself."
After saying that, Zhong Ling took Liu Yan's arm and said, "Sister Liu, let's go into the palace."
"Don't worry, Zhong Shangshu, I will personally send the young general back after a while." Liu Yan also glanced at Zhong Yangming and led Zhong Ling towards the palace.
Zhong Yangming was about to cry but had no tears. Looking at his daughter's leaving figure, he trembled and pointed at Xiao Tian: "Prince, you...you..."
"Don't rely on me. It's obviously your own death, it's none of my business." Xiao Tian spread his hands in confusion, "I even advised that little brat to go home and have dinner with you, but you don't value it yourself.
Opportunity depends on who."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Tian also shrugged, leaving Zhong Yangming with a back view.
At the same time, his words also reached Zhong Yangming's ears.
"What a sin!"
Zhong Yangming was slumped on the steps, looking up at the sky with blank eyes.
Oh my God, what happened to this world?
Recently, he himself has been troubled by the influx of refugees from the south.
It turns out that my daughter is still disobedient, what should I do?
Zhong Yangming sat on the ground, covering his head and rubbing it vigorously. His white temples were particularly eye-catching.
"Hey..." With a long sigh, Zhong Yangming, who was a little lost, propped up his knees and tried to get up. When he raised his head, he was stunned.
In front of him, Xiao Tian didn't know when he had returned to him.
Not only Xiao Tian, but also his daughter Zhong Ling and commander Liu Yan also came to him.
"I heard that Zhong Shangshu's craftsmanship is very good?" Xiao Tian looked at Zhong Yangming, "I don't know, would you be honored to taste it?"
Seeing Xiao Tian glaring at his daughter fiercely from behind, Zhong Yangming could only force a smile, gritted his teeth and said: "Please come in!"
…
The night is getting darker, in the courtyard of Zhongfu, inside the pavilion.
Xiao Tian and Zhong Ling have already taken their seats.
Liu Yan, on the other hand, had just returned to her mansion and changed into clean clothes.
Zhong Yangming, who had changed into home clothes, carried the last plate of food to the pavilion with his own hands.
Vegetables are like clusters of flowers.
The amazing aroma made Xiao Tian unable to help but swallow his saliva.
"Your Majesty, this is it. When my father was a poor scholar, he relied on this trick to deceive my mother's heart." Zhong Ling pointed to the last dish and said.
Xiao Tian knocked Zhong Ling on the head very carefully: "You're not big or small, how can you say that about your father?"
"Oh..." Zhong Ling covered his head.
At this time, Zhong Yangming, who was sitting down, had a much calmer expression.
He is not a stupid person to achieve his current status.
After observing just now, Zhong Yangming found that his daughter did not have much admiration, but an emotion of admiration, and even a hint of... fear?
This last point was something Zhong Yangming had not thought about. What could his daughter be afraid of from this prince?
In terms of his daughter's cultivation talent and strength, Zhong Yangming is still very confident.
In his opinion, beating Xiao Tian until he cried for his father and mother was not a problem.
"Prince, I dedicate this glass of wine to you." After sitting down, Zhong Yangming took a deep breath, raised his glass to Xiao Tian, "I loved my daughter so much, and I spoke rudely to you. I apologize to you."
After saying that, Zhong Yangming drank it all in one gulp.
But then Zhong Yangming also poured wine again, raised his glass and said: "Liu Yan is right, I shouldn't make rash judgments when I don't know you well."
Drink it all in one gulp again.
after.
Zhong Yangming poured wine again and raised his glass: "Ling'er is naughty and has been bothering the prince these days."
After three cups, Zhong Yangming's face turned red.
Xiao Tian also drank three glasses of wine from the other party, and raised his glass with a smile: "It's hard to cook, let's have dinner!"
After finishing the drink, Xiao Tian took the chopsticks and started doing it directly.
You have to be attentive and positive when it comes to cooking!
"Well, it tastes really good." Xiao Tian took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up to Zhong Yangming.
Instead of gobbling down food, Xiao Tian sipped wine and food, squinting his eyes in contentment and carefully enjoying the delicious food on his tongue.
What is life?
This is fucking life!
What is a day?
This is fucking life!
Zhong Yangming looked at Xiao Tian's appearance and chuckled. He suddenly felt that his daughter and Liu Yan were right.
Don’t look at people by their superficial appearance.
Xiao Tian is greedy for pleasure and enjoys it very much.
But if you think about it carefully, the other party didn’t do any evil?
And from this meal, he could see that Xiao Tian had a very respectful and serious attitude towards enjoyment.
It seems that you have a special obsession with this kind of leisurely life, this kind of life of eating, drinking and having fun?
Too strange.
However, the atmosphere at the dinner table is getting better and better.
When some prejudices disappear, they will appear harmonious when getting along with each other.
After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Tian kept staring at Zhong Yangming, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Prince, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Zhong Yangming, whose face turned red, felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Xiao Tian staring directly at him.
"Um, Zhong Shangshu, I have a merciless request." Xiao Tian touched his belly and laughed happily.
Zhong Yangming looked at Xiao Tian like this and felt something was not good: "Prince, please tell me."
Xiao Tian said this with a very expectant expression: "Can I often come to your house to eat and eat what you cook by yourself? I can't help it, your craftsmanship is amazing."
Although the chefs in the palace are not bad, compared with Zhong Yangming, they are far behind.
"..." The corner of Zhong Yangming's mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to ask the prince what he was suddenly guilty of?
Just after making a good impression, is the other party impatient to lose?
Let him, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, be your cook for the sake of your appetite?
Absolutely impossible!
Zhong Shangshu, whose face turned serious, was about to open his mouth.
Snapped!
Xiao Tian's slap hit the table, and when he raised his hand, it was a gift ring.
"I will personally donate one million spiritual stones to the Ministry of Household Affairs for disaster relief for the southern refugees!"
Zhong Yang spoke righteously and stared at Xiao Tian with a serious expression: "Prince, what do you want to eat tomorrow? I will take a break and pick the ingredients myself to ensure that you are happy and satisfied with your meal."
"Ling'er, by the way, do me a favor and buy a set of cook's robes for my father to wear."
"When it comes to the prince's meals, you can't be careless. You have to follow a rule."
Next to her, Liu Yan was speechless, and Zhong Ling even blinked.
They had never realized before that Zhong Yangming had such a unique skill of changing his face.
