The fragrant, soft and sticky shredded chicken porridge was served with fresh seasonal vegetables.
The vegetables were picked by Jiujiu from the courtyard. Well, they were all natural and pollution-free, so there was no need to add a lot of seasonings. Just a simple salt and vinegar could make a very good taste, not to mention the extraordinarily beautiful color. Just one look at it could make people drool. Jiujiu also prepared two portions of soup dumplings today.
Yan Sui was a hidden foodie. Now when he saw the fragrant shredded chicken porridge and soup dumplings with fresh vegetables, his saliva began to fall down even before he ate them.
Yan Sui picked up the bowl and directly drank it with a spoon, regardless of the fact that the shredded chicken porridge was still steaming.
Yan Sui's manservant's eyes widened when he saw Yan Sui give Jiujiu a pearl hairpin.
Early in the morning, Yan Sui took him to the princess's private store to choose a pearl hairpin. After choosing for a long time, he finally left with a few pearl hairpins.
At that time, he, the princess, and the prince all thought that Yan Sui had a girl he liked. After all, if it was not a girl, why would he give a pearl hairpin?
As a result, when he saw Jiujiu drinking the shredded chicken porridge, the manservant felt that his heart had been hit 10,000 times.
It would be fine if it was a girl, but the problem was that Jiujiu was a man. If the prince and the princess asked about it, he would be in a dilemma.
Moreover, if he said it, Yan Sui would punish him fiercely. If he did not say it, he would not have a good time in front of the Prince and the Princess. Now he was like a candle burning at both ends, and he was in a dilemma.
Anticipating his tragic fate, the manservant stood beside Yan Sui with a disheartened face. He looked at Yan Sui for a while and then at Jiujiu with a worried face. He looked more conflicted than if his wife and mother fell into the water at the same time.
Just when the manservant was in a dilemma, Jin Xuan 'er came to Jiujiu's door with her father, the Minister of Revenue, Jin Zheng.
Jin Zheng was particularly angry when he heard Jin Xuan 'er said that she had a dispute with Jiujiu yesterday. After all, the news that Jiujiu had divined Gaozong's fortune and pleased Gaozong had spread throughout the court.
Although many people thought that Jiujiu was just a charlatan, a charlatan who was praised by Gaozong was more powerful than an ordinary official, not to mention that Jiujiu had such a great influence among the people.
Yesterday, Jiujiu said in front of so many people that Jin Xuan 'er would not be a good daughter-in-law in the future. Because of Jiujiu's identity, these words must have been exposed. If he did not ask Jiujiu to take back these words, Jin Xuan' er's life would be completely ruined.
No matter how angry Jin Zheng was with Jin Xuan 'er, Jin Xuan' er was his daughter after all. He could not watch Jin Xuan 'er be sent to the temple. Therefore, he could only put down his face and come to ask Jiujiu to take back these words.
When Jin Zheng arrived, Ouyang Pinting had not left yet. When she saw Ouyang Pinting standing in front of Jiujiu's door, Jin Xuan 'er's distressed face suddenly showed a surprised smile. She quickly went up to Ouyang Pinting and said, "Pinting, are you here to plead for me?"
When Ouyang Pinting saw Jin Zheng standing to the side, a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face. She made a sound of acknowledgment along with Jin Xuan 'er's words.
Hearing Ouyang Pinting's words, Jin Xuan 'er's distressed face immediately showed a relieved smile. She said softly, "Pinting, don't worry. My father is here. He will definitely help me resolve this."
Jin Zheng wanted to stop Jin Xuan 'er from saying this, but Jin Xuan' er had already spoken. Jin Zheng's face instantly darkened. He thought to himself that once this matter was resolved, he definitely could not allow Jin Xuan 'er to continue interacting with Ouyang Pinting.
Ouyang Pinting thought that her disguise was very good, but Jin Zheng was the Minister of Revenue. He had to face the high sects and civil and military officials every day. If he did not pay attention, he would be impeached. His ability to judge people was definitely much better than Ouyang Pinting's. Therefore, Jin Zheng had long seen that Ouyang Pinting was not a person to be close to.
After Jin Zheng knocked on the door, Jiujiu prepared to get up to open the door. However, she was stopped by Yan Sui.
"You haven't finished eating yet. Ji Xiang, go open the door."
Ji Xiang responded as she ran to open the door. She opened the door while muttering in her heart.
Even to his highness, Yan Sui might not be this attentive and caring, but he was this concerned about Jiujiu. It would be a lie to say that he did not have any feelings for her. However, the problem was that Jiujiu was a man.
Once she thought about how Jiujiu was a man, Ji Xiang's face instantly turned into a bitter gourd.
My god, how am I supposed to tell his highness when I go back?
Could it be that dear highness, your son seems to have taken a fancy to a man. Do you want to consider giving birth to another one to carry on the family line?
If she said this, she would probably be beaten to death by his highness. Thinking of this, Ji Xiang instantly wanted to commit seppuku.
After seeing Ji Xiang open the door, the speech that Jin Zheng had thought of before he came in was instantly stuck in his mouth. He could not swallow or spit it out, feeling very uncomfortable.
Just like how there was no one in the capital who did not know Yan Sui, where Yan Sui was, there would naturally be Yan Sui's henchman Ji Xiang. Therefore, Ji Xiang's face was very recognizable in the capital.
Where there was Ji Xiang, there would definitely be Yan Sui.
Therefore, if Ji Xiang was here, how could Yan Sui be far away?
Now that Ji Xiang had opened the door, what did that mean?
It meant that Jiujiu and Yan Sui's relationship seemed to be very good.
Jin Zheng was just thinking that if Jiujiu agreed, then it would be fine. If she did not understand the situation and was unwilling to agree, then don't blame him for using his power to suppress her. After all, no matter how powerful Jiujiu was, no matter how much she was appreciated by the high sects, she was just a Jianghu magician. As for him, he was the current Minister of Revenue. If he wanted to deal with a Jianghu magician, it would be very easy.
However, if the person standing behind this Jianghu magician was Yan Sui, then it would not be easy to deal with.
Jin Zheng's black face instantly turned white. His heart was in a mess. The matter that he was 90% sure of was no longer 80% certain.
Seeing the person who had come, Ji Xiang coldly snorted and walked in.
Jin Zheng did not seem to notice Ji Xiang's cold snort.
Who asked Ji Xiang to be Yan Sui's henchman? As the saying goes, before beating a dog, one has to look at its master. How would he dare to compete with Ji Xiang?
He followed behind Ji Xiang and walked in. When he saw Jiujiu sitting together with Yan Sui and eating breakfast, Jin Zheng's heart instantly tightened.
He hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed. "This official greets the heir."
Yan Sui had just finished eating the shredded chicken porridge. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth. He slightly raised his eyes and revealed disdain in his eyes. "Oh, what wind blew the Minister of Revenue, Lord Jin, here? Could it be that you are here for Master Xiao's divination?"
