Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Chapter 362 Ying Zheng: The Imperial Master said he missed him.

Xia Lin replied, "All government affairs have been dealt with, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that your Majesty doesn't seem to be in a good mood, and I don't dare to ask."

Qi Pan frowned, feeling a little worried.

Not in a good mood?

What's going on here?

What happened?

Could it be that something happened during the day she was away from the palace that she didn't know about?

It seems that she will have to go to Zheng Ge to ask him tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

After getting up, Qi Pan packed his things and went straight into the palace.

After the morning court was adjourned, he asked Ying Zheng directly.

"Brother, did something happen to you yesterday?"

"what?"

Ying Zheng raised his eyes in confusion: "Master, why do you ask that?"

Qi Pan said, "Yesterday you asked Xia Lin to send me some sweet soup to cool me down."

"I didn't go to the palace yesterday, and I missed you a little."

"I saw that you were not in a very good mood during the court meeting just now. Did something happen yesterday?"

Qi Pan looked at Ying Zheng seriously with some worry on his face.

"Brother, if there is anything, you must tell me."

"Don't hide it from me."

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned.

Just now the Imperial Master said... that he missed him a little?

Ying Zheng's heart was somewhat excited.

The dullness of yesterday seemed to disappear completely in an instant because of Qi Pan's words.

And Xia Lin was standing aside.

When Qi Pan just opened his mouth to say that he went to the Imperial Master's Mansion yesterday to deliver sweet soup.

His heart was lifted up.

I was afraid that Qi Pan would say directly that it was he who said that His Majesty was in a bad mood.

Fortunately fortunately.

Fortunately, the national teacher didn't say it out loud.

Charlene reached out and wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from her forehead.

Ying Zheng looked at Qi Pan in front of him, and a rare bright smile broke out on his face.

"I just thought of some things and felt a little depressed."

"However, what the Imperial Master said just now made me feel relieved instantly."

"I am very pleased to have the Imperial Master care about me so much."

Seeing Ying Zheng’s cheerful smile, Qi Pan’s mood couldn’t help but improve.

She didn't ask any further questions, but just said.

"It's fine as long as it's nothing serious."

"By the way, brother, there are many lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond in my house."

"After you finish your government affairs, come to my house to admire the lotus."

"I said before that I would take you to appreciate and pick lotus flowers."

"Oh, by the way, we can also make lotus leaf chicken!"

Lotus leaf chicken?

This was the first time Ying Zheng had heard of this word.

He asked, "Master, what is this lotus leaf chicken......?"

Qi Pan said: "Chicken in lotus leaf is a delicacy."

"Wash the chicken first and marinate it with seasoning."

“Stuff the chicken’s belly with seasonings and then wrap it up with fresh lotus leaves.”

“After wrapping it layer by layer, add a thick layer of mud.”

"Then bury the whole chicken in the burning charcoal."

“Once you smell the fragrance, you can dig it out.”

"Break the yellow mud, uncover the lotus leaf, and you will get a complete lotus leaf chicken."

"The lotus leaf chicken not only has the fragrance of lotus leaves, but also has the charming aroma after being marinated with spices and roasted."

“It tastes really good! The meat is tender and smooth!”

Ying Zheng was not a person who cared about food and drink.

However, after hearing Qi Pan say this, he couldn't wait to taste the lotus leaf chicken.

More importantly, the imperial teacher invited him to his home to appreciate the lotus and eat lotus leaf chicken.

It was the Imperial Master who personally invited him.

Moreover, this lotus leaf chicken must have been made by the national master himself.

What makes him happiest is to eat food made by the national master himself.

Ying Zheng responded readily: "Okay!"

"Then I will return to the palace with the Imperial Master after I finish handling government affairs."

"That's perfect. We can have lunch in the pavilion in the lotus pond."

"It's a nice mood to enjoy the lotus while eating."

Qi Pan also nodded happily: "Okay!"

The two decided happily.

Then they all lowered their heads and focused on handling the government affairs at hand.

Sit aside.

Wang Wan was sitting aside.

He didn't have the courage to say it, but he wanted to go too.

I was just thinking about what Qi Pan had just said about how to cook lotus leaf chicken.

It’s okay if you don’t go.

He could go to the Imperial Master's residence another day and ask the Imperial Master for a few lotus leaves.

Then he brought it back home and asked his chef to try to cook it.

I think the taste won’t be too bad.

Rounding it off, it means that he, His Majesty, and the Imperial Master ate lotus leaf chicken together.

Thinking of this, Wang Wan quickly dealt with the government affairs at hand.

While they were busy, Fusu arrived.

"Father!"

Fusu strode in from outside the hall.

"Father, Imperial Master."

After Fusu bowed to Ying Zheng and Qi Pan, he bowed to Wang Wan.

Ying Zheng asked in confusion, "What are you doing here?"

"what?"

Fusu said: "Father, I came to see you, the Imperial Master."

"I am your son, so why don't I come to see you?"

Fusu stared with a somewhat aggrieved look, then moved closer to Qi Pan.

"Grandmaster, why didn't you come to the palace yesterday?"

"I wanted to play with you, but I didn't see you."

Qi Pan said, "I rested in the mansion yesterday."

"Why? What do you want to play with me?"

"If I don't come to the palace, you can come to my house to play with me."

Fusu pouted: "I would like to go to your house and play with you."

"But my father won't allow me to..."

Ok?

Qi Pan looked up at Ying Zheng in confusion.

"Brother, why don't you let Fusu come to my house?"

Ying Zheng said without changing his expression, "I'm afraid he will disturb your rest."

He looked at Fusu and said, "If you want to play with the Imperial Master, you should make an appointment with him in advance."

"Don't disturb him rashly, lest you disturb the Imperial Master's rest."

"Oh, I see, Father."

Fusu responded with a wronged look.

"Then... Imperial Master, can I go to your house to play today?"

"You've moved to the Imperial Master's Mansion for several days now. I've only been there once, when you hosted a banquet."

"I haven't even had a good look around your Imperial Master's Mansion yet."

Qi Pan nodded happily: "Okay."

"After we finish handling government affairs, you can come with me to my house."

"Great!"

Fusu responded excitedly.

A pair of eyes sparkled with excitement.

I have been busy printing classics for a long time and only have had some free time these two days.

You can come over to play with the Imperial Master and take a stroll outside the palace.

More than an hour later.

Qi Pan, Ying Zheng, Fusu and the others left the palace and headed towards the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Sitting in a carriage.

Fusu looked at Sui Wan and Xiu Ge who were sitting at the door, and asked Qi Pan in confusion.

"National Master, who are they?"

"Your new squire?"

Qi Pan said: “No.”

"These are Sui Wan and Xiu Ge. Your father assigned them to me to protect me closely."

what?

Was he assigned to the Imperial Master by the Emperor?

And let them protect the national teacher closely? ?

Fusu looked at Sui Wan and Xiu Ge, and had no impression of them.

He nodded: "Oh."

My father is quite considerate.

Two women were also specially arranged to provide close protection for the national teacher.

There are indeed many inconveniences when all the eleven or twelve are men.
