After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 275 Becoming a Suspicious Person
"Prince."

Yun'er saw Qi Yan and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Tao Lian was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and saw Qi Yan standing there, and he didn't know when he came over.

She blinked her eyes, bowed her knees and saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Qi Yan came back to his senses and walked up, "Excuse me."

Tao Lian, master and servant, then stood up, "Thank you, Prince."

Qi Yan paused, and just as he was about to leave, Tao Lian suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked, "Your Highness, did you pass by here just now?"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at her calmly, "Yeah."

"Then have you seen any suspicious people just now?" Tao Lian asked hastily.

Qi Yan shook his head, "Not really." After a pause, he asked, "Why?"

"Then it's strange, a piece of my handkerchief disappeared out of nowhere." Tao Lian frowned.

Qi Yan held back his smile, coughed lightly, and asked casually, "What kind of handkerchief?"

"Yes..." Tao Lian suddenly stopped talking as he thought of something.

"Huh?" Qi Yan asked again, "What is the handkerchief like? For example, if there is something embroidered on it, Gu can ask someone to find it for you."

Tao Lian was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Although she was quite satisfied with the pattern on her veil, when she embroidered it, she was teased by her mother, second aunt, and second sister.

She said she embroidered mandarin ducks, but they all said she embroidered ducks...

She felt that they had no discernment, but she couldn't help but embroidered two words next to the pattern: Mandarin Duck.

Thinking of this, she suddenly gained confidence, "It's a mandarin duck."

The corner of Qi Yan's mouth twitched suspiciously, but he said seriously: "Okay, Gu knows, I'll ask someone to look for it for you later."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Tao Lian thanked.

"It's a trivial matter." After Qi Yan finished speaking, he left on his own.

Tao Lian stared at his back as he walked away, thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Yun'er asked, "Miss, what are you looking at?"

"I always feel that when the prince just turned around, he seemed to be smiling. What was he laughing at?" Tao Lian looked suspicious.

Yun'er said: "Miss, did you read it wrong? Why is the prince laughing?"

"That's why I find it strange, what is he laughing at?" Tao Lian rubbed his chin, a little puzzled.

"Alright miss, let's go to the kitchen." Yun'er suggested.

Tao Lian nodded, followed her for a few steps, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, "Yun'er, do you think it's possible, that little thief..."

"What is that little thief?"

"Could that little thief be the crown prince?" Tao Lian clenched his fists and asked.

Yun'er looked at her in horror, "Impossible, how could the crown prince steal your handkerchief? Absolutely impossible."

Tao Lian slumped her shoulders in frustration, "That's right."

When the master and servant arrived at the kitchen, Tao Yao had already prepared all the dishes, and the servants were carrying the dishes and walking out, Tao Yao and Tao Ling also came out of the kitchen.

"It smells so good, Fourth Sister, what delicious food did you cook?" Tao Ling swallowed and asked.

"You'll know in a while." Tao Yao said with a smile.

Tao Ling also smiled and said, "The banquet is about to start, let's go."

Upon hearing this, Tao Lian happily followed the two sisters to the front yard.

When the three of them arrived, the servants had already put the food and wine on the table, as well as the bowls and chopsticks, while Lu Jiuyuan and the others were coming out of the front hall, accompanying Guo Daru.

"What delicious food did Jiuyuan's daughter-in-law cook? I've already smelled it." Guo Daru stroked his beard and asked with a smile.

"They are all home-cooked dishes, I hope they can suit everyone's taste." Tao Yao also smiled.

After everyone was seated, the butler stepped forward and lifted the covers one by one.

Tao Yao took the opportunity to introduce various dishes.

"This dish is pickled cabbage fish, this dish is sweet and sour pork ribs, this dish is braised lion's head, this dish is stuffed tofu, this dish is garlic prawns, this dish is steamed lotus leaf chicken, and this dish is eight-treasure duck ..."

In one breath, she finished introducing all the dishes on the table.

Everyone was very surprised when they heard it, because there were several dishes that they had never heard of or eaten.

Such as fish with pickled cabbage, sweet and sour pork ribs, stuffed tofu, and garlic prawns.

They were very surprised, especially Guo Daru.

He admits that he has traveled to many places, but he has never seen these dishes.

"Jiuyuan's daughter-in-law's dishes are quite different." He praised.

Tao Yao smiled and said, "Since Mr. thinks it's special, let's taste it quickly and see how it tastes."

As soon as she said that, everyone didn't hesitate any longer, they took their chopsticks and started eating.

Guo Daru was the first to eat pickled fish.

After the taste entered his mouth, he was full of praise.

"This fish with pickled cabbage is very delicious and very appetizing." After finishing speaking, he immediately asked the housekeeper to serve him a bowl of rice.

When everyone heard the words, they also tasted the pickled fish.

"Fourth sister, this fish is too delicious." Tao Lian also praised.

"Is it delicious? If it's delicious, eat more." Tao Yao said.

"Oh!" Tao Lian nodded hastily.

"This stuffed tofu dish is also delicious." Tao Ling said.

When Gu Changqing heard this, he quickly picked up a piece of stuffed tofu.

Sure enough, as Tao Ling said, Yong Tau Foo tasted very good.

"Jiuyuan, quickly try this dish."

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at him, did not speak, but picked up a shrimp, removed the shell, and put it in Tao Yao's bowl.

"Don't take care of me, you can eat it yourself." Tao Yao whispered, and then also took a piece of stuffed tofu for Lu Jiuyuan, "Second Sister and Master Gu both said it was delicious, you can try it."

"Okay." Lu Jiuyuan knew her skills a long time ago, even though the dishes she cooked today were all new to him.

"His Royal Highness, eat quickly too." Tao Yao greeted.

Qi Yan was actually a little strange.

Not only because of these special dishes, but more importantly, it was the first time for him to eat at a round table with everyone.

This feeling made him feel kind and novel, and he liked it very much. It seemed that the distance between everyone was shortened because of it.

Hearing Tao Yao's greeting, he nodded, tasted the dishes on the table one by one, and then boasted: "Mrs. Lu's craftsmanship is truly outstanding, and it is not much better than the royal chef in the palace."

"Your Highness Miao praised it, as long as you like to eat." Tao Yao said.

Everyone chatted while eating. During this period, several men including Lu Jiuyuan and Guo Dalu also drank some wine.

It was already afternoon when the banquet was over.

After Lu Jiuyuan sent the drunk Guo Daru back to the room to rest, he gave the housekeeper a few more words, and then led everyone away.

In front of the Grand Tutor's residence, Qi Yan said to everyone: "Gu is very happy today, thanks to Mrs. Lu's craftsmanship, let Gu Yi enjoy the food."

"Your Highness, don't say that. It's the honor of your wife that His Highness doesn't dislike you." Tao Yao said immediately.

After saying a few more words, Qi Yan got into the carriage.

Tao Lian paused when he saw the corner of his robe passing the car shaft, the auspicious cloud on the corner of the robe looked very familiar...
