Shanglin Garden, Changmen Palace.
A woman in a palace dress was currently standing on top of the pavilion, looking into the distance.
The woman's face was exquisite, and her makeup was meticulous. Her fair fingers were slender, and the red on her nails was dazzling. As if she had thought of something, the woman opened her red lips and said,
"Changqiu, what qualifications does this Chen An have to become a Langguan of the Imperial Forest?”
Behind the woman, a eunuch wearing a black veil hat bowed and said,"
"Reporting to the Empress, the young duke seems to have written the essence of Confucianism called the 'Three Character Classic'. It was highly praised by Grand Scribe Dong, and the Tian family even listed this essence as an enlightenment item for the princes and princesses.”
"Oh?"
Empress Chen was surprised, but then she smiled."
"At least you're not a despicable person who was lucky enough to enter and did not disgrace my Chen clan.”
Da Changqiu carefully looked at Empress Chen's expression and said in a low voice,
"Empress, you can't say these words anymore.”
When Empress Chen heard this, she flew into a rage and said,
"Why can't I say it? He, Liu Che, had thousands of beautiful women around him every night, and there were many crafty people around him. Even Wei Zifu, this lowly servant, had been promoted to the rank of Empress.”
"I, Chen Ajiao, am from a prestigious family. Back then, because of Liu Che's 'hidden beauty in a golden house', my mother was worried about him ascending the throne.”
"When he got married, he treated me as a treasure. Just because of the slanderous words of some crafty people, he ruthlessly deprived me of all my glory!”
"Liu Che! You're so ruthless!"
Da Changqiu seemed to be used to Chen Ajiao's intermittent madness and wasn't surprised.
He only tilted his body slightly.
As expected, a tray was thrown to the ground…
Then, the hairpin and the robe…
……
Chang 'an City, Marquis Pingyang's Residence.
This was Cao Xiang's mansion. Of course, he was the only owner.
After all, his mother, Princess Ping Yang, had long moved to the residence of the Marquis of Changping, Wei Qing.
In the kitchen.
Chen An was busy.
He had to take over the Zhuo family's iron-smelting workshop, prepare for the opening of the Red Chamber, and find a way to apply for a long leave from the Feather Forest Camp…
There were many things to do, and Chen An was very busy.
However, no matter how busy he was, he could not delay his meal!
It was already close to noon when they left Taichang Manor. Cao Xiang dragged Li Gan along and wanted to invite Chen An out for a meal.
It could also be considered as a celebration for Chen An being able to make an exception and be recruited into the Feather Forest.
However, Chen An rejected him righteously.
Are you kidding me? You want me to eat the macho man's pig feed?
No way!
Outside the kitchen.
Li Gan stared at Cao Xiang with his mouth agape. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"He…is he really that fool Marquis Tang Yi?”
"He's not stupid anymore! He even fiddled with the Three Character Classic and made me add another essence to memorize for no reason!”
Cao Xiang's eyes were filled with grief and indignation.
"What is he doing now?"
"Uh…he should be cooking…"
"Can you eat the food made by a fool?"
"He should be able to…I told you, he's not stupid!!!”
"Do you want some?"
“……”
Chen An looked at the ingredients in front of him. They were all available.
However…
He definitely couldn't cook hard dishes like fish and meat. The cooking wine and soy sauce weren't done well, so the hard dishes wouldn't taste good at all. However, home-cooked dishes were still fine.
Even though there was no iron pot or shovel, the kitchen of Marquis Pingyang's residence could still handle a simple stir-fry.
Scrambled eggs with cucumbers, stir-fried aphrodisiac grass, and fresh pork rib soup.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with fragrance.
Cao Xiang and Li Gan, who were outside the kitchen, also quickly shut their mouths. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Then…his face was filled with greed!
When Chen An walked out of the kitchen, he saw that Li Gan and Cao Xiang were almost drowned in saliva.
Both of them had not eaten and were hungry.
At this moment, how could he still be tempted by such delicious food?
When the food was served, the two of them were still kneeling and eating in a decent manner at first. After eating a few mouthfuls, they no longer looked like they were eating like big men and nobles.
He drank bowl after bowl of pork rib soup, and it was so hot that he couldn't stop chewing.
The three of them finished the two dishes and the soup in an instant. Chen An even specially made a little more. He did not expect that he had underestimated Cao Xiang and Li Gan, the two good-for-nothings.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. After this meal, I realized that what I used to eat was almost like pig feed.”
"Brother An, with your skills, it will be difficult for our 'Dream of the Red Chamber' to not have a prosperous business in the future!”
Cao Xiang stuck out his belly and picked his teeth, looking like a typical rich kid.
"This dish should only exist in the heavens. How can the human world…"
Before Li Gan could finish his sentence, Cao Xiang kicked him hard and scolded him jokingly,
"Alright, don't be jealous. Don't you know how much you're worth?”
"If we can't use literature, we can use martial arts! However…this Feather Forest Camp…sigh! Brother An is really lucky!"
As he spoke, Cao Xiang couldn't help but cast an envious gaze at the rattan box where the armor and seal of the Imperial Guard were placed.
As a member of a military aristocratic family, which one of them did not view joining the Feather Forest as a supreme honor?
"Why? You want it? I want you to sell it to you!"
Chen An joked.
Cao Xiang was speechless.
Li Gan was speechless.
