Wang Gonggong walked in without looking sideways and placed the plate of spicy crab in the center of the table.
The fragrant smell immediately filled the dining hall. The two big cats, who were in the middle of everyone, raised their heads. The big striped cat had never seen spicy crab before and wanted to see what it was. Seeing this, Prince Ling quickly kicked him off the table.
Prince Li was startled, and he quickly bit the tail by his mouth.
"Meow!" Uncle Seventeen, who was feeling proud of himself, was suddenly grabbed by the tail. He hurriedly waved his paws, but he didn't catch anything and fell straight off the table.
The two black and yellow striped cats fell into a ball and rolled over to Su Wang's side. The big black and white cat raised his paw to block the big furball that rolled over and protected the small furball that was still waving its tail behind him.
"Uncle Seventeen, a sneak attack is not the conduct of a gentleman!" Prince Li got up and spat out a mouthful of fur.
"You dare to attack your uncle, and you still call yourself a gentleman!" Prince Ling rubbed his bitten tail and bared his teeth, ready to pounce again.
"Both of you, shut up!" Prince Su slapped the two big cat heads. "Don't you think it's embarrassing enough?"
The two big cats turned their heads and saw the disdainful Emperor and the dumbfounded Consort Su.
"It seems that Imperial Uncles and Imperial Brothers don't want to eat spicy crab." The Emperor raised his hand and grabbed Su Yu's waist. "Wang Fuhai, bring the plate and return to the North Pole Palace."
"Wait." His Imperial Highness King Zhao, who was sitting in the corner, quickly stood up. "I, I …"
Hearing this, Prince Ling immediately turned around and scurried onto the table, baring his teeth at Wang Gonggong who was trying to get close.
With a flash of white light, Prince Li turned into his human form and wore a black and yellow wide-sleeved robe. He picked up the prince's uniform that was scattered on the ground and quickly hid in the inner room. Not long after, he walked out neatly dressed and saluted without changing his expression. "Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor."
Su Yu: "…"
After the commotion, the princes finally put on their clothes and sat at the table again. The emperor's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He really didn't want to admit that these guys were his royal uncles and brothers.
"Mi –" His Highness the Crown Prince squatted on Prince Su's shoulder, looked back and forth, and then called out to Su Yu in a soft voice.
"Da Mao, you don't want Grandpa anymore after seeing Consort Xian." Prince Ling leaned over and rubbed his nose against the kitten's, but the kitten pushed him away in disdain.
"What did Seventeenth Uncle call him?" Su Yu didn't hear clearly and turned to ask the Emperor.
The Emperor glanced at Prince Ling, "Don't pay attention to him." He reached out and picked up a crab claw from the basin and began to eat. The spicy crabs that Su Yu made had always been chopped. The crab legs and pincers were scattered all over the basin.
Su Yu scooped up a spoonful of crab paste and gave it to the Emperor. Then he took the kitten, who kept jumping towards him, and put him on the table. He picked up a bit of crab meat and tore it up for him to eat.
The Emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the bright crab paste in the bowl, then looked at the red marks on Su Yu's neck. His eyes couldn't help but darken. Was this stupid servant hinting at something? Could it be that he still hadn't satisfied him today? An Hong-chul ate the sweet and fragrant crab paste in one bite. He licked the corner of his lips. He had to find a way to throw his stupid son out tonight.
The basin full of spicy crabs was bright red and shiny. The thick soup base was covered with all kinds of side dishes, and a layer of sesame seeds was casually sprinkled on top. It looked very appetizing.
When Prince Ling saw that the kitten was taken away, he didn't say anything and began to focus on eating the crabs. His Highness Prince Su, who didn't like to talk much, hadn't said a word since he sat down. He had been expressionlessly dismantling the crab shell.
"This is a dish made with chili?" Prince Li curiously picked up a crab leg and tried to discuss the uniqueness of the chili with everyone. He looked around, but found that no one answered him. He coughed lightly and put the crab leg into his mouth. The fresh and rich soup, coupled with the unique flavor of the chili, exploded at the tip of his tongue. It was an indescribable delicacy. Prince Li couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He quickly sucked up the spicy oil on the crab leg and bit off the hard shell. The white and tender crab meat inside was revealed. The crab meat wasn't soaked in the spicy oil, so the freshness and sweetness of the crab meat was still intact. It was just that the spiciness of the shell remained in his mouth. When he bit into the crab meat, he had the illusion that the crab meat also had a spicy flavor.
The basin full of spicy crabs was quickly swept clean. His Majesty, who hadn't eaten enough, was suddenly unhappy.
There were many side dishes in the soup base. The side dishes that had been stir-fried before were stewed in the spicy crab broth. They didn't taste any worse than the crab meat. Su Yu scooped a few spoonfuls of side dishes and crab soup, mixed them well with the white rice, and handed it to His Majesty.
An Hong-chul snorted and enjoyed the service of the stupid slave with a clear conscience. He took the jade bowl and ate the rice in two or three bites. His face finally looked better.
"Meow …" His Royal Highness saw it. He grabbed Su Yu's hand and wanted to eat. Su Yu didn't dare to give the child spicy food, so he coaxed him to eat some white rice mixed with crab meat.
When the other princes saw this, they followed suit and ate a few bowls of rice with the soup base. They ate a basin full of dishes. Su Yu looked at His Majesty, who seemed to have eaten too much, and didn't mention the hot pot with soup.
Prince Li ate three bowls of rice in a row, and then he put down the bowl and chopsticks. "Jintang, how is this spicy crab made?"
"It's sold in Xian Mantang. If you want to eat it, go buy it yourself." Before Su Yu could speak, His Majesty the Emperor spoke first. He didn't want to let Su Yu talk to Prince Li anymore.
"Xian Mantang …" Prince Li thought for a bit. Yesterday, he heard about Xian Mantang from a civet cat. It was said that Prince Zhao opened it. So he turned his gaze to Prince Zhao, who was covering his mouth, "Hong Chuan, come, second brother wants to discuss something with you." As he said this, he dragged His Royal Highness King Zhao out of the dining hall.
"You two …" His Majesty the Emperor turned to look at his two uncles, ready to chase the cats away.
Since Su Yu found out his true identity, the two uncles didn't care anymore. After eating, they turned into big cats to play with the eldest prince.
The eldest prince loved Prince Su's big black and white tail very much. He hugged it and didn't want to let go.
"Your Majesty, can you lend Da Mao to us to play with tonight? Ah, no, take care of it for one night?" Prince Ling sat behind the kitten. Taking advantage of its unpreparedness, he scooped it up and rolled it on the carpet with him.
His Majesty the Emperor, who was about to throw a tantrum, froze. He coldly snorted, "Prince is young …"
"I definitely won't let him be wronged." The big black and white cat raised its paw and gave its younger brother a slap. It snatched the kitten over and licked its messy fur.
"Mi –" The little furball liked this rolling game very much. It crawled out from under Prince Su's belly and pounced on the big black and yellow cat lying on its back. Its meaning was very clear. It wanted to do it again.
Prince Ling took the opportunity to bite the back of the kitten's neck. He stood up and ran. Prince Su glanced at the Emperor and ran after him.
"Ah …" Before Su Yu could react, his son had already disappeared. "Your Majesty, where did they take the child?"
"Don't worry about them," His Majesty the Emperor's face was cold, but his thin lips couldn't help but slightly tilt. He picked up Su Yu, "Let's talk about the spoon of crab paste you gave zhen."
"Ah? Crab paste? "Su Yu blinked. He was carried back to the North Palace by the Emperor in confusion and thrown onto the dragon bed.
As the Full Feast Festival approached, the qinwang were all living in the palace. The palace was rarely lively for a few days. The Empress Dowager was very happy to see Li Wang and chatted with him for half a day. Li Wang also very patiently chatted with the Empress Dowager.
"You're still the most filial. His Majesty and Hongwen don't have the patience to listen to aijia." The Empress Dowager said as she sewed the cloth rat.
"Son misses muhou every day in the South Sea and has a belly full of things to say to muhou," Li Wang sat next to the Empress Dowager and looked earnestly at the cloth rat in the Empress Dowager's hand, "Can you sew one with fur?"
In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth of the tenth month. On this day, the entire country celebrated.
It was the autumn harvest season. This year, the weather in Da 'an was still good. The common people had harvested a full warehouse of grain. Joyous families gathered together and ate a big meal to celebrate this year's harvest and pray for a good year in the coming year.
The Imperial House had to prepare for the sacrifice.
Today, there was no need to go to court. It was rare that the Emperor could sleep in. Su Yu had to get up early to prepare the sacrifice for the evening.
His Majesty the Emperor raised a hand to pull the person next to him into his arms, but it was empty. He blearily opened his eyes and saw Su Yu standing by the bed dressing. He frowned with dissatisfaction, "There's no court today, what are you getting up for?" Not going to court meant that the Emperor didn't have to eat the morning meal. Su Yu didn't have to get up so early.
"I have to prepare the sacrifice," Su Yu bent down and stroked the sleeping cat grand uncle's handsome face. He couldn't resist kissing it, "You sleep."
His Majesty the Emperor grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him down to the bed, pressing him under his body, "You're not allowed to go. Sleep with zhen."
"Oh …" Su Yu stumbled and fell on the bed. He helplessly pushed the big head on his chest, "Don't make trouble. The National Tutor is still waiting for me at Anguo Tower."
"Mi?" The little cat that was squeezed between the pillows was awakened and stumbled out.
Su Yu coaxed the cat a bit and struggled to get up. He stuffed the little furball into the Emperor's arms, "I'll be back at noon. You two don't fight." After that, he hurried out the door.
His Majesty the Emperor pinched his son and rubbed his slightly itchy nose. Then he raised the little furball in front of his eyes and stared at it for a moment. He snorted, stuffed it under the covers, and went back to sleep.
The Eastern Sea sent a few fresh fish that needed to be killed quickly. The smoked fish and fish balls that were frozen in the freezer needed to be taken out and defrosted. The dried fins of the Ying fish needed to be soaked in advance and used to make shark fin soup at night. There were many things to do in the morning. Su Yu was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. Naturally, he didn't have time to take care of his son.
His Majesty the Emperor looked around, but he couldn't find the figures of his brothers and uncles. He could only carry his eldest son to the Imperial Study to read the memorials.
