Chapter 329 The Crown Prince brought a young lady
After a cup of tea, Hong Xiaoduo had moved from the private room of the tea house to the private room of a restaurant that was not very grand.
Knowing that she didn't like to waste, Mu Rongjing still ordered six dishes and one soup: "Would you like a pot of wine?" he asked.
"Is it okay to go to the Ministry of Justice later and have a drink?" Hong Xiaoduo asked curiously.
"You are not the chief judge. It doesn't matter if you drink less. So, do you want to have a pot? Although this restaurant is not the best in the capital, its peach blossom wine is outstanding. It is the owner's own The brewed wine can only be consumed here, no matter how high the price is, it will not be taken away," Mu Rongjing introduced with a smile.
The reason why I asked her if she wanted to drink was because she thought she might see a dead body in the afternoon. Even though she knew that she was not afraid of dead bodies, bodies would look different after a few days of death.
"The ones recommended by the Crown Prince must be good, so let's try some." Hong Xiaoduo didn't think much about it, but the several flower wines he had drunk in ancient times tasted really good. .
I don’t know if it was because the two of them came a little early and it was not the time for the restaurant to serve customers, but the food and drinks were served quickly.
The first dish is a large blue and white plate with six hairy crabs arranged in a circle and several small bowls of seasonings in the middle. The steamed crab shells are bright orange-red, which makes people look very interesting. appetite.
Then there are also sweet-scented osmanthus chicken, braised beef tendons, braised shrimps, baby greens, taro braised cabbage, and pearl jade white jade soup.
Hong Xiaoduo looked around and then his eyes fell on the steamed crab. He raised his eyebrows and rolled up his sleeves: "Then I'm not polite." After saying that, he mixed the dipping sauce and then reached out to grab one. Crab and scissors.
Murong Jing on the side poured her a cup of peach blossom stuffing and poured himself a cup of tea. He watched her skillfully cut off the legs and claws of the crab, remove the belly button cover, and uncover the crab cover. Use a small spoon to dig out the crab stomach in the middle and place it on the bone spitting plate aside. Use scissors to cut off the excess crab legs, crab mouth and crab lungs, and also take out the hexagonal piece of the crab heart.
"This is the coldest part of the crab. You can't eat it." Hong Xiaoduo felt that he was being watched, looked up and said.
Then he broke the crab body into two halves, and poured some sauce on the crab with a spoon. As soon as the plump crab roe and crab paste entered his mouth, Hong Xiaoduo's satisfied eyes narrowed.
I was in Xihai with my children before, which was not the time to eat crabs, so although I ate crabs there, they were not as plump as what I eat now.
"Why doesn't the prince eat crabs?" After killing a crab, Hong Xiaoduo asked when he saw the man opposite was only eating other dishes.
Looking at the other party's expression, Hong Xiaoduo suddenly reacted and said: "You see that I like to eat, so you just want to leave it to me alone? I tell you, no need, although I have a good appetite, but crab is a cold thing and I shouldn’t eat too much at one time, especially women.”
“No, I just find it troublesome to eat.” Mu Rongjing said with a smile.
When eating crabs in his house, the maids and servants would peel them and put them on the plate, and he would eat them ready-made.
Of course, he would never say this to her.
After saying that, he also rolled up his sleeves. He originally wanted to use chopsticks, but after thinking about it, he put down the chopsticks, followed her example and grabbed one with his hands. Then he picked up the scissors and followed the steps she had just taken to eat crabs.
After eating a crab, he realized the joy of eating crabs by himself.
I couldn’t help but feel annoyed, why didn’t I think of eating crabs myself before?
After finishing the meal, each of the six crabs had eaten three of them, and some of the other dishes were left.
When Hong Xiaoduo stood up, he shook the wine bottle in disbelief. Did he actually drink a bottle of wine without knowing it?
However, this peach blossom wine is really delicious, a little sweet, the wine is pink, and it also has a light floral aroma.
"If you like it, how many jars will you take with you when you leave Beijing?" Mu Rongjing could see that the steamed crab was very to her liking, and she really liked the wine.
"Huh? Didn't you say that no matter how much money you give, you won't take out any food?" Hong Xiaoduo said immediately.
This jug can only hold two taels. She will not be drunk and will not forget what he said before. Mu Rongjing chuckled and said: "Others can't do it, but I can."
"Okay." Hong Xiaoduo was polite and didn't ask if he had any special channels or if he had any special relationship with the restaurant owner.
After walking outside the restaurant, Hong Xiaoduo realized something was wrong. He didn't pay the bill!
"Your Majesty, is this restaurant your property?" Hong Xiaoduo leaned slightly towards him and whispered.
"Ahem, okay." Mu Rongjing responded softly.
"Then next time I come to eat by myself, can I get a discount?" Hong Xiaoduo asked jokingly.
Mu Rongjing shook his head and said: "There is no discount, but the order can be waived."
"Prince, don't joke, I am a real person and will take it seriously." Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
"I'm not joking. If you don't believe it, when we get to the Ministry of Justice, I will make a letter with you?" After Mu Rongjing finished speaking, he was startled. He actually had a joke with a young lady in the street?
Hong Xiaoduo accidentally saw the person following him not far behind him, and turned to look at the person beside him: "Princess, is she afraid that I will abduct her precious son? "
Mu Rongjing didn't look back, and said with a helpless smile: "This is the first time she saw me in contact with a young lady, so she made a fuss, so don't pay attention."

While talking, the two of them went to the Criminal Department.
The people from Dali Temple and the Inspectorate have not yet arrived. The left and right ministers of the Ministry of Punishment saw Mu Rongjing and immediately stood up to greet him. When saying hello, they all looked at Hong Xiaoduo beside him.
The two ministers are both in their forties and know the capabilities of the Crown Prince. After receiving His Majesty’s order, they were both puzzled and puzzled that they had never heard of the Crown Prince participating in the trial. However, why this time, he did not have the slightest contempt for the prince appointed by His Majesty.
But what is the purpose of Mu Shizi bringing a very beautiful young lady with him?
Mu Rongjing naturally saw the doubts of the two ministers, but he had no intention of introducing Hong Xiaoduo.
She specifically told her this when they were in the restaurant, saying that she was not good at getting along with officials. Without an introduction, she would be a little transparent.
Mu Rongjing felt funny in her heart. She followed him here to assist in the investigation, how could he be treated like a transparent person.
"My lords, can I have a look at the files on Dong Yuefan's case first?" Mu Rongjing asked.
When the two ministers heard this, they looked at each other and nodded. After the right minister Sha Youzhi responded, he motioned to the government servant next to him to get the file.
Left Minister Yue Wenchao ordered someone to serve tea to Prince Mu, but none of the adults have arrived yet, nor are they in the courtroom.
The file was brought, and the tea was made and brought. The two ministers on the left and right looked at the Crown Prince, whom His Majesty the Emperor trusted and valued most, and handed the file they received to the young lady beside them. Then, they also asked She sat down and watched slowly?
Then, he moved the tea served to him to the coffee table next to this young lady...
