"As the prince, this is what I should do..." The prince said this in an increasingly weak and weak tone, which made everyone frown. He didn't look like a prince!

With the prince's hypocritical behavior, how could anyone with a discerning eye not see what he wanted to do? Let alone Zhou Xian!

Zhou Xian didn't feel sad at all about being bound by his father and son's affection. He just responded in an ordinary way:

"I think my grandfather originally wanted me to go to Guihua City. My father has been in poor health recently, and he also needs to be in the capital. He must not be tired of traveling and traveling. As the prince, my father cannot take risks, so,

The child is the most suitable person to go to Guihua City for comfort."

After Zhou Xian finished speaking, before the prince could praise him with words such as "Xiao Yi Da Yi", he made arrangements as calmly as before:

The imperial grandfather has not been in court for a long time and is now addicted to aphrodisiac. It is estimated that the earthquake in Guihua City will not change this situation;

He told several cabinet ministers not to go home these days, but to live in the palace to guard against accidents, and that they could issue decrees quickly. If there was no major matter of last resort, there was no need to go to the East Palace to ask the prince to make a decision;

He also asked Si Chengtan, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to control the forbidden palace, and no one else could enter or exit at will;

Several imperial uncles stayed in their respective residences. Once they received the emergency report, they could only dispatch troops and generals to rush to the rescue immediately after taking the warrant he sent back from Guihua City 800 miles away.

Finally, Zhou Xian looked at the palace he had just walked out of and pursed his lips. Regarding his imperial grandfather, his words rolled on the tip of his tongue several times, but he finally did not say them out.

He was too weak to fight with Concubine Long and save the emperor's grandfather from danger; besides... deep down, he still resented the emperor's grandfather because of the Lin family's affairs...

The cabinet ministers received the order and did not pay attention to the undercurrents among these dragon and phoenix grandsons. They listened to His Highness the Grand Sun and did whatever they had to do. The first step was to go to the eunuch to ask for bedding...

The prince's face was not very good. His own son had just said clearly, "Don't tell me to interfere with the affairs of the cabinet."

Zhou Yan still smiled like that, but in his heart he felt heavier than ever before: This was his only chance; if he failed this time, and if Zhou Xian was alerted, he would decisively attack him... Zhou Xian

His life can only be left in Guihua City!

Concubine Long was in a much more relaxed mood. Although Zhou Xian was difficult to deal with, there was still Zhou Yan, right? And when Zhou Yan was successful, she would decisively take the lives of Zhou Yan and Na Si Chengtan...

Si Chengtan breathed a sigh of relief. Even though His Highness Taisun had no plans, he never expected that he would already be in the team of the tenth prince. When the new emperor of the tenth prince ascends the throne, he will still be the emperor's confidant with great power...

When everyone finished their discussion and began to walk out one after another, Concubine Long kept staring at Sicheng Tan, who could only walk at the end because of his status, and smiled coldly.

"Master Si, in the past few days, you have to guard the palace and guard the safety of the emperor and concubines. You have a heavy responsibility, and you will have to work day and night. I am very grateful in my heart, and I think that tonight, I will stay with you, sir, to have dinner with you.

Everyone here has organized a thank-you banquet for Sir Si, hoping that Sir Si will show his appreciation~"

Her posture was low, her tone was gentle and sincere, but she was exactly the same as usual, and her domineering appearance was completely different. When Si Chengtan turned around, he saw Concubine Long like this.

Because of this, people feel that rejecting her is a very cruel thing; besides...who is willing to refuse Concubine Long's cook?

Si Chengtan's expression changed. He had already heard about the tenth prince's ability to "poison" Concubine Long, so how could he dare to "put a sheep in the tiger's mouth"?

"Your Majesty, you are so polite. It is the duty of the royal guards to protect the royal family. How can we say 'thank you'?" Si Chengtan bowed hurriedly, trying to avoid Concubine Long's "unrequited kindness".

Zhou Yan's mind turned over and over again. Concubine Long probably didn't realize that they had formed an alliance. She probably just made a move to attract Si Chengtan. Besides... if he politely declined on Si Chengtan's behalf, wouldn't it be even more...

There is no suspicion of "three hundred taels of silver here"?

Zhou Yan winked at Si Chengtan where no one else could see him; Si Chengtan pretended to refuse again and then hurriedly agreed.

Concubine Long was also magnanimous and invited everyone present to join the banquet, but everyone declined.

In the evening, Si Chengtan felt a little apprehensive, but he had to adjust to a "flattered" look.

Before entering Concubine Long's Wan'an Palace, I could smell the aroma of food wafting from a distance, which was much better than the aphrodisiac smell that always floated in the palace in recent days.

The aroma of rice is more uplifting than the aroma of black rice, making people down-to-earth and full of energy.

After entering, Si Chengtan was shocked: Concubine Long was actually cooking in person!

The fact that a person like Concubine Long had plunged into a career as a cook made him feel not only deeply moved, but also greatly frightened.

This fear comes from the intuition brought about by years of licking blood with the tip of a knife:

She had put in so much effort today. If she hadn't wanted to attract him today, then this Hongmen Banquet would have ended in death!

Concubine Long did not wear fancy clothes or make-up. She even wore an apron and looked bare-faced because of the gas and steam from the pot.

The third prince, Zhou Pan, was also on the side. He looked at it curiously and took a bite. After being slapped on the hand by Concubine Long, he just quietly put his hands in his hands and watched.

This scene looks like a mistress and her naughty child.

At that time, Concubine Long was kneeling behind a bronze gui with a round mouth and two ears. She poured plant seeds as big as peanuts from a bronze bean container into the gui, and picked up the dagger to stir the cooking ribs in the gui;

After seeing him greeting him and entering, he gave him a distant smile and motioned for him to sit down. Then he asked the third prince Zhou Pan to get the wine that was warming in the cup, put it in the cup, and poured a cup for each of the three of them.

Except for what she was cooking, other food had already been placed in place, waiting for him to take a seat.

The maid on the side also specially used a bronze altar to accompany the music.

Si Chengtan was secretly frightened. Concubine Long was really wealthy. She made a set of bronzes just for cooking utensils. At the same time, he also made a small calculation: when the third prince failed to win the title, so many of her good things would be cheap again.

Who?...

Concubine Long was cutting vegetables on a table, and she thought of "people are cutters and fishes," and Zhou Yan and Sicheng Tan were the fishes who thought they were cutters.

The banquets she hosted for the imperial concubine were never in vain, and every one of them was a Hongmen banquet that the prey did not realize.
