Chapter 219 My surname is Su, the eldest of the Su family
Today is the beginning of learning, and Su Yinghuai will give a lecture in the morning.
Su Yinghuai had been waiting for this day for a long time. He dressed up specially before going out, combed his beard over and over again, and went over what he was going to say in his mind over and over again.
Su Yinghuai walked into the Pingshan Palace with great anticipation, but the palace was deserted and no one came to greet him.
Xiao Jingxuan? Where are Shangguan Zhenhua's children and grandchildren? The teacher is old and no one came to greet him. Where did he go?
Could it be that... he skipped class?
Butler Luo Shun hurried over to greet him: "Master Imperial Master, why are you here? Shouldn't you be going to Labuan Hotpot City?"
"What's the point of going to a spicy hotpot restaurant?" Su Yinghuai shook his sleeves and said, "I have an agreement with the Duke of the Protectorate that on the first day of school, I will study literature in the morning and martial arts in the afternoon."
Luo Shun looked embarrassed: "But Master Imperial Master, my prince and princess left early, they are not at home."
Su Yinghuai was furious: "What? How dare they skip class? This is outrageous!"
Luo Shun hurriedly explained: "No, I'm not skipping class. It's like this. The princess opened a store called La Bu Pa Hotpot City. It officially opened today. The prince and his men went to open the store and said they would be back in an hour."
"Opening a shop?" Su Yinghuai covered his chest: "Duke Huguo is also there?"
"went."
Su Yinghuai took a deep breath, closed his eyes and relaxed, then asked, "Where is La Bu Bu?"
How dare you, old bastard, play tricks on him!
No wonder he was so happy to give him his time this morning. It turned out that he already knew that the shop would open today and that lazy boy Jamel Xiao would not stay in the house.
Very good!
......
The spicy aroma of the hot pot wafts around. There are spicy, clear soup, sour soup, pork, duck, chicken, mutton, goose...all kinds of flavors blend together with the spicy taste to create a new taste. Just smelling it makes people unable to stop.
"Delicious, this chicken hotpot is so delicious!"
"This is duck, boneless duck? Interesting and delicious!"
"What is this, ice powder?"
"Sweet ice jelly, tasting ice jelly and eating hot pot, so satisfying!"
“Mutton is still the best!”
"What kind of salad is this? It's delicious!"
"My friend said this is called fungus..."
All around were voices praising the hot pot and spicy dishes.
In the largest private room, the Crown Prince, the kings, and the princes-in-law sat around the table, enjoying the mutton hotpot in the middle of the table. The more they ate, the more they wanted to eat.
In the private room next door sat the princesses and some young ladies who had a good relationship with them.
Everyone was concentrating on eating their food.
"Chili peppers are quite magical. They can be used as ingredients or as snacks. No wonder my father praised the chili peppers sent by Prince Pingshan's cousin on the first day of the New Year's banquet and was unwilling to give us some to try."
"It's a pity that my father and mother can only stay in the palace and can't taste such delicious hot pot."
In the Imperial Palace, Fengluan Palace, the Emperor and Empress were eating around a hot pot.
Emperor Yuanwu picked up a piece of mutton for the queen and said, "The hot pot base that Jingxuan sent is almost finished. I'll go back and ask him for more. There are also few peppers left."
"Your Majesty, we eat such delicious hotpot every day. Is it really okay not to reward the children with some?" The queen felt hot all over after eating.
It was still a little cold in early spring, but after eating hot pot, I felt warm all over.
"What's wrong with that? When those little brats come across something delicious outside, they never bring it to me to taste. When they need to please me, they come into the palace and call me father and try their best to please me. When they don't need me, hehe, they just turn their backs on me."
Emperor Yuanwu knew his own children very well.
Emperor Yuanwu sighed, "Among so many children, only the Eighth, Tenth, and Twelfth are relatively honest and truly love their father, me. Oh, and Mingzhu..."
The couple was talking and eating hotpot when Xiong Jingzhong came over.
He whispered a few words into Emperor Yuanwu's ear.
Emperor Yuanwu's expression changed instantly: "What? Hotpot City?"
The Queen was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Emperor Yuanwu said, "Jingxuan opened a hotpot restaurant in the capital, called Spicy and Bubless. It opened today. The Crown Prince and his men went to show their support, as did the Duke of the Protectorate. There were also many ministers. It was quite a big event... I just found out about it... No one told me... Xiao Jingxuan, that little bastard, actually kept it a secret from me, his uncle!!!"
"He is really capable! He attracted so many people and rebelled openly!"
If this situation happened to someone else, he would have sent troops to arrest people long ago. So many powerful people in the capital gathered together, how could it not arouse people's speculation!
"You little brat, you are spoiled and arrogant!"
"I don't know how to be more low-key."
The queen paused, and suddenly felt that the hot pot in front of her was not fragrant anymore.
"Your Majesty, will it have a bad influence to have so many princes, princesses and ministers gathered in one place, especially since it is a store opened by Jingxuan and Tangtang?"
"What the Queen said is correct. It does have a bad influence. I will issue an order immediately to stop them from gathering together again."
......
When Su Yinghuai arrived near the Labuan Hotpot City, he smelled an enticing aroma from afar.
After entering, he was surprised to see many familiar faces, including his students, descendants of the Su family, and ministers in the court.
Su Yinghuai: "......"
He thought he had come to the wrong place, so he went out and took a closer look at the door plaque. Yes, it was Labu!
Su Yinghuai walked in again. The waiters were too busy, so the shopkeeper came to greet him.
Some guests in the lobby recognized Su Yinghuai. They were stunned and wanted to stand up to greet him. Su Yinghuai waved his hand and said, "Eat your food. Don't worry about me."
Those people looked at each other and finally sat down again.
Su Yinghuai looked at the steaming hot pot on the table. The smell made him want to swallow.
But he held back and asked the shopkeeper, "Where is the Protector of the Country?"
The shopkeeper didn't recognize him: "Who are you?"
Su Yinghuai endured it: "My surname is Su, and I am the master of the Su family!"
The shopkeeper understood instantly that the person who dared to call himself the master of the Su family must be the mysterious imperial teacher.
The Imperial Teacher comes to see the Duke of Protectorate. Hiss, are they going to fight?
The shopkeeper hesitated: "Master Su, our shop has just opened and cannot withstand the destruction of you and the Protector of the Country."
Su Yinghuai snorted, "You think too much. I'm not here to fight. I'm here to reason."
The shopkeeper felt relieved after hearing this and immediately took Su Yinghuai to the private room where Shangguan Zhenhua was.
Shangguan Zhenhua, Xiao Jingxuan, Ye Tang, Ye Peng, and Ye Ping'an were eating mutton noodles in a private room. It was not appropriate to eat hot pot early in the morning, and mutton noodles were the most comfortable.
The five people were enjoying their meal when the door was kicked open.
