If anyone knows King Rui Xiao Jingcheng, he will know that this person has a cold and perverse personality.

He led his troops for nine years and had a high prestige in the hearts of millions of soldiers. The court officials repeatedly participated in his great achievements and overwhelmed him. He was afraid of him, feared and relied on him.

In Xiayang City, Kyoto, Xiao Jingcheng is the most noble among himself.

I heard that he returned to Beijing to report his work the year before yesterday, and Empress Dowager Qi wanted to see him a noble daughter as a concubine.

The lady was beautiful and came from a family, and her status was second only to that of the princess. She was dreaming of all men in the world. After marrying these family women, she was the son-in-law of a wealthy family, and she was just around the corner to be an official, and she was more glorious than being the emperor's son-in-law.

After all, if you become the emperor's son-in-law, you are mostly the princess's subjects, and you have no dignity and cannot be an official.

Such an excellent legitimate young lady has been arrogant and favored since childhood. She does not take all men in the world seriously and has only fallen in love with King Rui.

But after meeting, the lady refused to mention this matter again and quickly got engaged to the others.

Xiao Mingyu later heard that it was because the lady was ashamed of herself in front of King Rui.

King Rui said, "Get out of here, don't insult my eyes."

It was just annoying to say such words from others, but King Rui's words destroyed the lady's confidence.

Xiao Mingyu felt that there was no woman in the world worthy of King Rui's thoughts. He would marry someone casually in the future and put it in the Rui Palace in Kyoto as a decoration.

After all, he didn't even like Cheng Lanqing.

But now, he was very happy to please a woman. Half a month ago, he borrowed the Viewing Pavilion of the Moon Tower and asked for the best fireworks for offerings from the palace; made a few sets of new clothes, and dressed up himself seriously.

Xiao Mingyu was very curious about who King Rui was for, until he saw Xue Mei.

Xue Mei didn't feel very honored.

After watching the fireworks, she was sitting at the table and eating the jujube paste. Maybe she was a little hungry, and she ate very sweetly, which made people feel appetizing.

Xiao Mingyu was shocked.

"Uncle Emperor." Xiao Mingyu greeted him.

Xiao Jingcheng nodded slightly.

He asked Xiao Mingyu: "I have finished watching the fireworks, what's fun about you?"

Xiao Mingyu was still shocked, her head was confused. How could he think of it now?

Xue Mei spoke first: "Don't prepare, order a table of supper. We will go back to our house after eating. I'm sleepy. I heard that tomorrow morning, all the foreigners with imperial decrees will come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

I am also the county magistrate, so I can’t avoid this gift. I have to get up early when I enter the palace, so I won’t stay up late with you.”

Xiao Jingcheng nodded: "Then make some late-night snacks. Mingyu ordered some to come up. If there was chicken soup, the chicken made from the soup would have to be within three months, and it should not be too old."

This is what Xue Mei once said.

Others want to eat old hen soup, but Xue Mei said: "Where can chicken soup be nourished? The stewed ones are all fat, and only that little bit of it tastes delicious.

Often, the tender chicken is fresh, and the old hens are so old that they are not delicious at all. The chicken I make soup cannot last more than three months."

Xiao Jingcheng has been by her for a long time and has also drunk the chicken soup.

He can't taste the taste of the world when he is a cat, but Xue Mei likes to drink it very much.

"Don't you need old chicken to make soup?" Xue Run, who was standing beside him, said curiously, "Can that taste delicious?"

"I like to eat fresh ones." Xue Mei said.

Xiao Mingyu looked at everyone suspiciously, and suddenly felt that Xiao Jingcheng knew Xue Mei very well, because Xue Mei often did things that everyone was puzzled and used chickens to make soup, which seemed to be something Xue Mei could say.

"Come, give me instructions." Xiao Mingyu said.

The weather was abnormally warm these days, and it was windy at night and it was about to rain.

It's cold now.

It was still very lively outside.

Xue Run has never been out for a walk on New Year's Eve, and always has to stay at home to stay with her grandmother for the New Year.

He was impatient with eating some midnight snacks and stood up: "I'll go down and have a walk."

Xue Mei: "Don't run around. We'll go back later. If we can't find you, we won't wait for you."

"It's okay." Xue Run had already gone downstairs.

As soon as he left, Xue Chi stood up.

"Sorry, I'll go to clean the room." Xue Chi said.

After he went down, only Xue Mei and Xiao Jingcheng were left in the Viewing Pavilion.

Xiao Mingyu was full of questions and didn't know where to start, and looked at Xue Mei.

Xue Mei smiled at him: "Why is the little prince not staying at home in the mansion?"

"You're so embarrassed to say?" Xiao Mingyu smiled, "My four concubines are all addicted to mahjong, and no one is willing to have a good meal."

"It's not my fault." Xue Mei smiled, "Your charm is too little, your prince."

Xiao Mingyu's four concubines were all without children. They probably had their own guesses about the specific reason. They dared not complain and could not leave, so they had to live a down-to-earth life.

Without children, their future is only themselves, so of course they live their lives as they are happy.

There was no mahjong in the past, but it was easy to say that everyone lived in a proper way. Now that we have it, we started playing day and night.

I am happy to win, and I am not annoyed if I lose. Anyway, things and money are rewarded by the little prince.

"Uncle Emperor, mahjong is..." Xiao Mingyu was afraid that Xiao Jingcheng would not understand, so he explained to him.

"I know mahjong." Xiao Jingcheng interrupted him, "Your concubines in your house can't beat Mei'er. Don't underestimate mahjong. If you really play, you may not win. There are very deep tricks in it."

Xiao Mingyu: “…”

Prince Ancheng is well-informed and conquers the world. No one knows mahjong except Xue Mei.

How did Uncle Rui know?

What is his name Xue Mei? Is he and Xue Mei so kind?

Xiao Mingyu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xiao Jingcheng said again: "I owe you a favor. The Taoist priest you invited has awakened me. Of course, if it were not for the Lord of Chengyang County, I would not be able to wake up completely."

"Uncle Emperor, please be polite."

Soon, the late night snack was served.

Xiao Jingcheng took the bowl, scooped a bowl of chicken soup, placed it in front of Xue Mei, and told her: "It's a bit hot, drink it slowly."

Xiao Mingyu's pupils magnified slightly, as if they were terrible.

Xiao Jingcheng picked up two more papers: "Eat less fried food, eat only two at night, right?"

"Okay." Xue Meidao.

Xiao Mingyu was stunned and looked at this and then that one.

Uncle Rui Wang is not only very familiar with Xue Mei, but also has a humble attitude and is very indulgent to Xue Mei.

As the youngest son of the late emperor, Xiao Jingcheng was spoiled to grow up since childhood. He was not afraid of heaven or earth, and even the emperor might not take it seriously.

Xiao Mingyu couldn't even think about his service, and was so shocked that he was so gentle and thoughtless.

Xue Mei saw it and smiled and said, "The prince drinks chicken soup very fresh. I admire the chef."

She took out a silver ingot of five taels.

Xiao Jingcheng called the attendant, and the attendant took it down.

After drinking a few sips of chicken soup, Xiao Mingyu felt extremely delicious. One reason was that the chicken was tender, and the other was that he put a lot of mushrooms, making the chicken soup particularly delicious.

"Tomorrow you go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, I'll pick you up. Then I'll take you with you, and I'll kowtow to the Queen Mother first, and then go back to the mansion." Xiao Jingcheng said, "Hundreds of foreign women must queue up at the gate of the palace. They can't eat or drink, and they can kill half of their lives."

Xue Mei: "It's better to follow the rules, there's nothing special."

"You are about to be a princess, why is it not special?" Xiao Jingcheng said, "I'm thrusting among those people, I'm exhausted you."

Xiao Mingyu, who was beside him, sprayed all the chicken soup.

Xue Mei picked up the bowl and avoided him, but the table full of late-night snacks could not be spared.

"Huh!" Xue Mei was a little disgusted and felt a little distressed.
