Not only Chu Lian and Princess Duanjia, but even Princess Wei was surprised.

Lord Wei basically didn't care about state affairs and rarely interacted with the younger generation. Why did he bring four back this time … and all of them were not simple.

Chu Lian wasn't surprised that He Changdi came. They had agreed in the carriage that morning that he would pick her up after he finished his business at the Left Guard. But how did Xiao Bojian run into him?

Unconsciously, Chu Lian's face tightened and there was a hint of wariness in her eyes.

Xiao Bojian hadn't seen Chu Lian for almost half a year. As soon as he entered the Reception Hall, his eyes uncontrollably fell on Chu Lian.

His gloomy eyes were like a person who had been dry for a long time seeing a life-saving spring. They suddenly became bright and dazzling.

If it wasn't for his strong self-control, he would have walked over quickly.

He murmured "Lian 'er" in his heart and clenched his fists in his wide sleeves.

How could He Changdi, who was beside Xiao Bojian and paying attention to him, not notice his change? Fortunately, Chu Lian didn't cater to Xiao Bojian's eyes. Instead, her eyes were filled with disgust and wariness. Otherwise, He Sanlang would have vomited blood in anger.

Although there were five big men in the parlor, the atmosphere suddenly became strange. There was a kind of awkwardness that people couldn't help but be silent.

Wei Wang's eyes swept across the surroundings, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile. It was as though he wasn't affected by this strange atmosphere at all.

Knowing that his wife must have doubts, he quickly walked to Princess Wei's side and sat down on the main seat. He then explained, "I went to the Left Guard to handle some matters today and happened to meet them. Atai was also there. I heard from Atai that Jinyi was in the manor, so I brought them back for a meal."

As he spoke, Lord Wei and his wife exchanged a few glances. They had been in love for many years and could almost understand each other's thoughts and thoughts with a single glance.

Princess Wei looked at the young people below and smiled demurely. "Since it's like this and it's getting late, let's set the table!

You guys are really lucky. Duanjia and Jinyi specially spent most of the day making roast duck. This time, they used a recipe that even the palace has never seen before. "

Hearing this, Lu Tai raised his eyebrows in interest. This Jinyi was really good at cooking. He had specially gone to Guilin Restaurant to try the dishes. Even the imperial chefs in the palace could not compare to it. She was addicted to it after eating it once!

Roast duck?

Although Yue Hong Lou also had it, he always felt that the one made by Chu Lian would be more attractive.

He Erlang didn't have high expectations for the food, but when he heard that half of it was due to Princess Ruanjia, he immediately looked forward to it.

He Sanlang's face darkened. He was obviously unhappy.

His wife cooking for the Prince of Wei and his wife was considered filial piety to the elders. This was something that should be done. After all, the Princess of Wei cared for her wife very much. However, if the dishes were to be shared with the Young Royal Prince Lu Tai, especially Xiao Bojian, he would not feel good about it.

He Changdi was so jealous that he wanted to kick Xiao Bojian out of the palace.

Xiao Bojian's gloomy and delicate face softened a little. He looked at Chu Lian with a gentle gaze. His eyes were filled with many indescribable emotions, as if he wanted to drown her.

This was great. He didn't think that he would have the chance to taste Lian 'er's cooking again.

Xiao Bojian thought sweetly in his heart. He completely ignored He Changdi's cold and indifferent gaze and aura.

Chu Lian was extremely embarrassed. This Xiao Bojian must have a problem. She was so obviously against him, but he still acted as if he didn't know anything. When he saw her, it was like a fly seeing meat.

She couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with Xiao Bojian's brain.

The Prince of Wei acted as if he didn't see anything and ordered the dishes to be served. He said happily, "This Prince will have a good taste of Jinyi and Duanjia's cooking today."

The servants of the Prince of Wei worked quickly. In a short while, the table was set up.

There were two tables. One was for the Prince of Wei and a few young juniors. The other was for the Princess of Wei and Chu Lian and Princess Duanjia.

There were no screens in between the male and female tables. The tables were left open. This kind of arrangement was not strange in Shengjing, and there was nothing improper about it.

Soon, the maids placed plates of dishes on the table.

The most eye-catching thing on the large round table were the two plates of charred and alluring roast duck in the center.

The same roast duck, but two different ways to eat it.

One plate was cut into moderately large pieces and soaked in a special marinade. The other plate was cut into small pieces with the bones removed. Thin pancakes and various side dishes were placed on the side of the plate. There were also a few small plates of different dipping sauces.

The last one was the way to eat the Peking Duck.

Even the experienced and knowledgeable Prince of Wei widened his eyes in shock. Looking at the roast duck in front of him, he asked Chu Lian, "Jinyi, tell me what's so special about these two plates of roast duck."

Chu Lian quickly stood up when Prince of Wei called her name. She patiently explained how to eat the Peking Duck.

After Chu Lian's explanation, Prince of Wei waved his hand. Immediately, everyone at the table began to dig in …

Lu Tai was already hungry, and he was drooling from the aroma of the roast duck. As soon as his father spoke, he couldn't wait to put his chopsticks into the roast duck plate.

Each table had a roast duck cut in half and divided into two ways to eat it.

Although roast duck was delicious, eating too much of it would make one sick of it. Therefore, other than the roast duck, there were ten other dishes on the table. The other dishes were made by the kitchen maids of the Prince of Wei's household.

As soon as a piece of roast duck entered his mouth, the young prince revealed an expression of enjoyment. It was crispy and fragrant, fat but not greasy. Not only was the duck meat not tough, it was also very tender!

Especially the layer of slightly crispy duck skin, it was the most delicious.

After a piece of duck meat entered his stomach, Lu Tai's gaze fell on the porcelain plate in the center. His eyes widened.

What's going on?!

It was a full plate just now. How … how come there was only half a plate left in the blink of an eye?

While he was still dumbfounded, Prince of Wei had already quickly stuffed a piece into his mouth.

Lu Tai let out a cry in his heart. Then, he used his chopsticks to pick up the largest piece he had his eyes on and placed it into the sweet white porcelain bowl in front of him.

He Sanlang stared at the plate and didn't stop moving. As he stuffed it into his mouth, he thought sweetly, "This is made by the princess. No wonder it's so delicious …"

It was rare for Xiao Bojian to have a chance to taste Chu Lian's new dish. How could he be slower than others? Although he ate in a refined manner, his chopsticks were not slower than anyone else's.

Even though He Sanlang's face was dark, he didn't give up the opportunity to others.

Chu Lian's table was much better. After all, there were only Princess Wei and Princess Duanjia.

The dining table in the Prince of Wei's household had never followed the ancient rule of not talking during meals.

Five men and one roast duck wasn't much to eat. In less than fifteen minutes, all the food was gone …
