"Royal brother, let me accompany you for lunch." Huangfu Yuhu stuck his seemingly evil face out from behind the curtain and walked into the hall with big steps.

Huangfu Yuhu and Huangfu Yuchen were both the empress dowager's sons, and they were three years younger than Huangfu Yuchen. After Huangfu Yuchen ascended the throne, because their name violated the taboo of "Yu", the "Yu" character in their name was changed to "Yu". The two brothers were one and the same, so their relationship was very deep. Huangfu Yuhu did not even need to report on his Tengloong Hall entering or exiting, it could be seen how much trust he had in Huangfu Yuhu.

Huangfu Yuchen continued to review the imperial reports, without even lifting his head, "Haven't you been eating at Immortal Residence recently?"

"Don't mention it," Huangfu Yuhu unluckily waved his hand, "Today's news I received that the Immortal Residence's dishes are not clean, and that someone ate an illness in the morning. I dare not go back. "

"Oh?" Huangfu Yuchen raised his head. Interesting. That person had so easily gotten the chance to leave the palace, he was certain that he would go to Immortal Residence to take a look. How would he react? Unable to do anything? Or was he full of fighting spirit?

The "person" he was referring to was currently on the way back to the Yan Mansion.

"Young master," Wan Xiang said, "Since the Fragrant Pig Chop can be pushed out as a gift, it must be a good dish, why is it that it is only pushed out for three days, and why are we not making this dish ever again?

Gao Yun and Xiao Chuanzi only heard about it after they returned, they pricked up their ears in curiosity.

Yan Ge laughed: "I am only using people's curiosity."

"A curious mind?" Xiao Chuanzi scratched his head, "This servant doesn't understand."

Yan Ge thought for a while, "For example, in the middle of the winter, I suddenly saw a lot of people jumping into the river, and there was even a smile on their faces, would you guys be curious?"

Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi both nodded their heads, "Young Master is so awesome.

"In short, it is taking advantage of people's curiosity. It's just a gimmick. " Yan Ge said.

Returning to the Yan Mansion, Yan Xiaojing and the Lady Yan sat upright in the upper seats in the great hall. He sat down by the side with a solemn expression. Like the Triad. Other than them, there were no other servants or maids in the hall, not even the loyal servant Yan Fu.

Yan Ge smiled as he walked over, "Father, Mother, Big Brother, why are you all so serious?"

With a straight face, Yan Xiaojing slapped the table with all of his strength with his right hand, causing the teacup to jump, "Speak! What exactly is going on? " No wonder he felt that the emperor's gaze towards him was rather meaningful this morning in the morning assembly.

"Second Brother, you've finally returned. They were waiting for you." They sternly invited Yan Ge to sit down.

When Yan Xiaojing and Yan Su returned to their residence and heard that Yan Ge had left the palace, their expressions changed greatly. So Lady Yan became nervous again, "Ge'er, can you explain it clearly now? Your father and brother are very worried about you. "

Yan Ge's smile did not change. He looked at Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi, "Go and see if the food is ready. I'm starving to death. "

"Yes."

After the two of them left, Yan Ge's expression turned serious and said, "Father, it's like this. "Yesterday …"

After Yan Xiaojing heard his words, his eyes rolled over and he almost fainted from his anger. His finger pointed at him and trembled, "You, what did you say?" He suddenly turned towards Lady Yan and sternly said, "All this while, you guys have been telling me how he became so sensible. In my opinion, he has become more and more reckless, more and more tired of living! He actually dared to make deals and negotiate conditions with the Emperor! It's almost going to pierce a hole through the heavens! "

Lady Yan looked at Yan Ge in shock. He was shocked by Yan Xiaojing's roar.

"Ge'er, you, why are you making such a ruckus …" Lady Yan gripped her handkerchief tightly and stood up.

Yan Xiaojing was so angry that his face was filled with 'confusion'.

Only now did Gao Feng and Gao Yun understand the situation between Yan Ge and the Emperor, and they secretly admired Yan Ge's guts. Yan Ge was definitely the first person in history to make a deal with the Emperor.

"Master, your father is so scary."

Yan Ge laughed dryly in his heart. He sternly said to Yan Xiaojing, "Father, I am not confused. "Please let me finish."

Yan Xiaojing gasped for breath and glared at him fiercely. Since this matter was already decided, what could he do if he did not listen to Yan Ge's explanation?

"Speak!" I'd like to see what you have to say. "

"Father, your son is living in the palace …" The most important part was intentionally being vague, which matched with the expression of awkwardness, led Yan Xiaojing and the others to think about the bad side of things. "The emperor likes the female imperial concubine more, and the other three male consort s are also quite outstanding, so the position of our sons is extremely awkward. A son couldn't live a life like this, right? His son thought, since my son likes to do business, why not consolidate his position in the palace? That way, even if the son was not favored by the emperor all his life, he would at least seek a peace. More importantly, he could also help His Majesty shoulder his burdens, just like father often said he would. "Why not?"

Yan Xiaojing's gaze vaguely swept over Gao Feng and Gao Yun as he sighed inwardly. He had been immersed in government for many years, so he was not as innocent as the Lady Yan. Gao Feng and Gao Yun were the sons of the Minister of Industry, Gao Jingwei, and were very trusted by the Emperor. And now, under the premise that Yan Ge did not contribute a single bit and had a Holy Pet, they were actually sent to Yan Ge's side by the Emperor.

As if sensing it, the stern man looked at Yan Ge reproachfully.

For a moment, Yan Xiaojing and the solemn man did not speak.

Gao Feng and Gao Yun felt the tense atmosphere, but they couldn't leave. They could only pretend that they didn't know nothing, and look straight ahead.

"Father, believe me. I never fight a battle I'm not sure of. " Yan Ge knew what they were worried about and walked behind Yan Xiaojing with a smile. He pinched Yan Xiaojing's shoulders for him, "That's right, I have to tell you about the Immortal Residence. Let's eat and talk. I'm going to faint from hunger. "

Yan Xiaojing looked at him and gave a heavy snort before standing up, "Do you think business is as easy as you think? You'll suffer then! "Everyone, let's go eat. We can't be bothered with him!"

Yan Ge was still smiling as he walked together with him. From time to time, he would pat his back, making Yan Xiaojing so angry that he couldn't laugh anymore.

Lady Yan and Yan Su shook their heads as they watched from behind.

The four people of Yan Family sat at a table, and the butler, Yan Fu, placed an extra table beside them to accompany Gao Feng and Gao Yun. Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi also sat with them.

Looking at Yan Ge's serious expression, he did not avoid Gao Feng and Gao Yun at all. Furthermore, there was not a single trace of force on his face, and he could not help but admire his younger brother's courage. This little brother had changed a lot compared to the past. It seemed that the palace was indeed the place where people changed the most, allowing him to grow up so quickly. He only hoped that he wouldn't hurt his own foot. As his brother, he still punched Yan Ge hard on the shoulder as a lesson.

Yan Ge had the skill, it was neither painful nor itchy. He prepared dishes for the Lady Yan, and brought up the matter of Immortal Residence. "Today at Immortal Residence …"

"Is there such a thing?" Yan Xiaojing frowned.

Yan Ge laughed, "Actually, this kind of situation can be expected. The problem today is only a small one. In the future, there might be even more problems, such as a kickback, a good second place, a fake account and even the dishes being leaked. "

Yan Xiaojing and his serious expression became more and more serious.

"The recipe was leaked?"

Yan Ge filled their wine cups to the brim, "Father, Big Brother, what I mean is not that the person you're looking for is unreliable, but because the speed of the Immortal Residence movement is too fast, and the coordination between the various segments is not perfect enough, problems could easily occur. "If you don't deal with it in time, the more times you make mistakes, the more frequently you will make mistakes."

"It's not good for your big brother and I to interfere too much in the restaurant." Yan Xiaojing was also in a difficult position. He was a scholar, and a judge at that. It was hard for them to deal with business.

Lady Yan, as a woman, only knew a little about business matters and did not interrupt.

He looked at Yan Ge seriously, "Do you have any ideas?"

Yan Ge nodded his head, "I do have some ideas, but I haven't fully considered them yet. Father, Big Brother, if you two are at ease, let me handle the matter of the Immortal Residence. "

Yan Xiaojing looked at his sternly. If he did not care about Immortal Residence, wouldn't Immortal Residence be left for the two brothers in the future?

"The Immortal Residence should be yours to begin with. What's there to be worried about if I let you handle it?"

Yan Ge smiled and shook his head. He had already thought of a way. Since they were tied up with Yan Family, and since Yan Xiaojing, the Lady Yan and the others were indeed good to him, he would treat them as his true relatives in the future. No matter what kind of business he had, he was going to be serious. However, it was better to rely on what he said than on what he did. And it is too early to say that.

"Let's not talk about this first. Once I have thought it through, I will explain to you how I can deal with the Immortal Residence. " Yan Ge stood up and poured a cup of wine for Yan Xiaojing, Yan Su, and Lady Yan, "Father, Mother, and Big Brother, I really have grown up now. I know that some of my decisions seem unthinkable, but I am confident that they will be handled well. The only thing you have to do is trust me. "

Yan Xiaojing and the other two looked at each other, laughed, and raised their cups at the same time. Yan Ge was already "married" to someone who would go out, and he was even a palace concubine. His future path would mainly depend on himself.

"So what if I don't believe you?" Yan Xiaojing reprimanded her in a rough voice, but her eyes were kind.

"Thank you Father, Mother, and Big Brother!" Yan Ge also smiled, and was very grateful for their tolerance. He did not expect that the modern world would not be able to obtain the warmth of this strange era instead of experiencing it.
