Chapter 283
With the previous warm hospitality, it is even more difficult for Ren Zhongyuan to speak now, but thinking of the resentful and frightened eyes of his old father at home, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth and asked, "My lord, my lord, you came to visit my father at the mansion that day. The official showed you the leg that my father sawed off, but later my father was critically ill, and Xiaguan was worried, so he ignored the amputated leg. , I want to ask my lord, have you ever seen that broken leg? Or...accidentally, unintentionally...bringing it out of the mansion..."

When Ren Chongyuan asked this question, he blushed consciously, what a dignified prince would do with a useless broken leg.But my father insisted that it was the Thunder King who took it, and he was furious at home, dropped the cups and chopsticks, and beat the housekeeper. If his mother hadn't stopped him, he would even drag his half-damaged body to the Thunder King's mansion to ask the crime himself. .Later, the commotion was too serious, and my father was too weak to get out of bed, so he was sent to the palace to get his broken leg back!

After hearing what he said, Ren Chongyuan became angry instantly, and threw the teacup in his hand on the table violently, furious, "What do you mean!? I suspect that the king stole the left minister's broken leg? A broken leg, What is the use of this king, is it used to boil bones and human broth?"

Ren Zhongyuan was already full of guilt, but being yelled at by Cheng Xi made him feel that he was acting like a villain, and that his father was making trouble for no reason.So he bowed and apologized again and again, "My lord, don't be angry, I don't mean that. I'm just asking, just asking..."

"Okay, okay." He raised his forehead, as if he didn't want to talk, took two deep breaths, threw away the unhappiness in his heart, and smiled again on his face, "Brother Yu, Brother Yu didn't mean to blame you either. , Hey, let’s not talk about this matter. How about this, brother, don’t go back at noon today, just stay in the palace for dinner, we brothers have a good drink or two.”

Ren Zhongyuan had just offended him, so he couldn't evade it anymore, so he could only nod in response, "Then I will trouble the prince."

"Okay." Seeing his answer, Cheng Xi was overjoyed, "Sit down for a while, my king will go to the kitchen and give them instructions to make some good dishes."

After all, he asked the butler to treat him well, and he got up and left the hall.As soon as he left the yard, he ran into Yi Mo who had just returned.

Yi Mo caught a glimpse of the people in the hall and couldn't help but frowned, "Father, why is he here?"

Cheng Xi chuckled, very strangely, "He's here to break his leg. But this king has kept him for dinner, and I'll treat him to human bone soup."

Yi Mo: "..."

In the reception hall, Cheng Xi sat at the head seat, and Yi Mo sat at the accompanying guest seat. Ren Zhongyuan was ushered in by the servant, and when he saw the two of them, he quickly bowed and saluted, "My lord, Your Highness Princess Ping An!"

"You and I are brothers, why do you need to be so polite." Cheng Xi stood up and helped him up, and then led him to a seat, "Come on, dear brother, please sit down. This table is full of good dishes are prepared for you , you have to try it out.”

"This..." Ren Zhongyuan was so flattered that his tongue was in knots, "My lord, you are too polite, I'm an official, I'm an official..."

"Lord Ren." With some enthusiasm in Mo Qingyue's voice, he squeezed the chopsticks and personally put some dishes for him in the gold-encrusted jade porcelain bowl in front of him, "My father and king arrived in the capital not long ago. The place I used to be familiar with, without the friends I used to make, I feel very lonely. Now that Lord Ren and his father are like old friends, I am very happy in my heart, and I hope that Lord Ren will not be disgusted."

"His Royal Highness and the prince are so warmly entertained, how can I be disgusted by this official. Besides, being able to get into the eyes of the prince is a blessing that I have cultivated in my life. I am... flattered." Ren Zhongyuan responded politely.

Cheng Xi couldn't bear it anymore, "Hey, the food is getting cold after talking about it. Come, come, drink a bowl of soup first, moisten the spleen and stomach, and be good for the body." After speaking, he personally filled a full bowl for Ren Zhongyuan A bowl of bone soup, "This is the best human meat of the chef in the house. Oh, dog bone soup, you don't know, this dog meat is the most nourishing, especially in the cold winter, in the ice and snow, the hands and feet are numb from the cold, When the blood in the whole body is frozen, you only need to eat a pot of steaming dog meat soup, that taste! Hey, I will never forget it!"

Ren Zhongyuan's appetite was soared by what he said, he picked up the bone soup, swallowed hard, and smiled at Cheng Xi and Yi Mo, "Then you will not be polite."

A pair of mung bean eyes stared at him with a bright smile, "You're welcome, please drink it quickly, the taste will change when it gets cold."

Ren Zhongyuan picked up the jade bowl inlaid with gold, and proudly raised his head to drink it all.

Both Cheng Xi and Yi Mo stared at him with piercing eyes, "How does it taste?" Cheng Xi asked curiously.

Ren Zhongyuan wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth, reminiscing about the taste just now, and said, "The soup is delicious, smooth and delicious, thick but not greasy, sour but not astringent. It really is delicious in the world!"

After saying that, he looked at Cheng Xi with a smile on his face, and said heartily, "Can I have another bowl, Xiaguan?"

The corners of Yi Mo's mouth twitched uncontrollably, with a strange expression on his face, "Since Sir Ren likes it, then enjoy it to your heart's content. Bengong and Father Wang just drank this soup yesterday, and it is a bit boring. Sir, you don't need to take care of us."

Ren Zhongyuan is not a civil servant but a military commander. Although the way he speaks is influenced by his father, he still has the boldness of a military commander in his bones. Since his master said so, he is not polite. give up.

Cheng Xi said with a smile, "How is it? The taste is amazing! Hey, you don't know, stewed dog meat and bone soup, you can be particular about it, especially this dog, it can't be too tender or too old. Unfortunately, there is no such thing in the capital. Good dog, this king managed to catch an old dog, and took off one of his legs to make soup. Hey, the soup made from the old dog's legs is so appreciated by my virtuous brother, it is because of his three-life cultivation Blessing. Come, come, brother, drink another bowl, drink another bowl!"

Ren Zhongyuan couldn't hold back his enthusiasm, so he took another bowl and drank it. The broken bones at the bottom of the pot slipped between his lips and teeth. Soup.

Yi Mo looked down, his heart skipped a beat, and then he covered the toe bone with nails under the skirt without any trace.

A pot of human bone soup was drunk by Ren Zhongyuan. When he drank the last bowl, he felt something was wrong, "This soup...why is it so sour? And it tastes a little..."

"The sour sauce made by the master chef is added to this soup to remove the smell. At first, you can't feel anything when you drink it, but you can taste it after drinking too much." Yi Mo explained, his deep black eyes flickering, "If it is true If the sourness is severe, eat some vegetables, these dishes are all special dishes of our Wangchuan, not only crispy and delicious, but also have the effect of anti-acidity."

Ren Zhongyuan smiled embarrassingly, "Princess is very polite." Then he ate the food Yi Mo put in his bowl.
