The night wind was cool outside the window and the shadows of the trees were swaying. Song Ruoxi sat cross-legged on the chair, leaning against the pillow, motionless, watching quietly, waiting.

Qinghe sent Xiangcao and Qiao'er to sleep. She didn't go to bed, so she sat aside and guarded Song Ruoxi.

Time passed little by little, and Song Ruoxi became more and more anxious as he waited. All kinds of bad thoughts emerged. Suddenly, he found something in front of him shaking. There seemed to be a figure in front of the window. He shrank back in fear and asked in surprise: "Who?"

"Yingying, it's me."

The familiar voice calmed down Song Ruoxin. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he ran over. Before Qinghe, he opened the door and asked anxiously at the person outside the door: "Where have you been? Why did you come back at this time? I'm so worried about you."

"Yingying, I'm sorry, things have changed. I went outside the city and thought I could come back in time, but I didn't expect it would take so long to be locked out of the city." Ye Shuhua reached out to put her shoulders and said apologetically.

"You were locked outside the city, how did you come in?" Song Ruoxi knew that after entering the outer city gate of Yingcheng, it would not be opened without the city lord token and the talismans of the left and right leaders.

Ye Shuhua hugged her and walked into the room, "I used my light skills to fly up the city wall."

"You are too risky like this. What if the guards think they are thieves and shoot arrows at you?" Song Ruoxi felt scared when he thought about it, and glared at him angrily.

"As soon as I stepped onto the city wall, I took out the jade pendant to show my identity, and it did not cause any disturbance." Ye Shuhua explained.

Qinghe quietly exited the room and closed the door.

"It's a blessing that you're fine this time." Song Ruoxi glared at him again and said, "I'm not allowed to do this next time. What will happen to you? What should I do?"

"There won't be a next time." Ye Shuhua held her hand tightly, "Don't worry, I won't let myself have something to do."

Song Ruoxi pulled him to the edge of the lamp and looked him up and down. Seeing that there were a few mud marks on his clothes, there were no blood. He knew that he was not injured, and asked, "What are you going out of the city for?"

Ye Shuhua frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Jiang Yan'er is dead."

"Die?" Song Ruoxi repeated in shock.

"The people from the secret hunting camp found that she was supported by several people and left the city. I think maybe she could follow her and follow her to track down the people behind the scenes. No need to continue to be prepared like this, so she led people out of the city and chased her to Liuyegou three miles away from the city, and she died there." Ye Shuhua did not tell Song Ruoxi the detailed process, but just a brief overview, worried that the bloody process of the fight would scare her.

"Did Chen Yin do it?" Song Ruoxi asked.

"There is no evidence that his people did it."

"These people are cruel and ruthless. Even if Jiang Yan'er has no use value, there is no need to kill her?" Song Ruoxi frowned slightly, "Does Jiang Yan'er know their secrets so that they will kill her to silence her?"

"Gugugugugu" Ye Shuhua held his stomach and asked with a embarrassed smile: "Yingying, I'm hungry, do I have anything to eat?"

"Yes, I'll go and help you do it." Song Ruoxi stood up and said.

"Call Qinghe." Ye Shuhua didn't want to let her work hard.

"She just lay down to sleep, don't wake her up. They are all ready-made food, and I don't have to cook it, just heat it up." Song Ruoxi looked at him and his eyes turned, "Or, you go with me and help me burn the fire?"

"Of course." Ye Shuhua was happy to do anything with her.

The two of them went to the kitchen hand in hand. Ye Shuhua followed Master Jueming to travel around. The small matter of making fire was difficult for him. He lit the fire with the fire lead and put it into the stove. He picked up two thin pieces of firewood and stuffed it into the stove. He picked up the fire drum and slapped his cheeks and blew it into the stove for a few breaths. A ball of flame burst out.

"It's not bad, I'll pick you to help burn the fire, and you won't pick the wrong person." Song Ruoxi praised.

"I am a leader monk." Ye Shuhua said jokingly.

Song Ruoxi smiled and skillfully poured water and brushed the pot. He heated up three dishes and one soup.

The two of them sat at the small wooden table in the kitchen to have dinner without going back to their room.

"Today's rice is a little thin. If you stir-fry it, you should drink porridge!" Song Ruoxi served two bowls of lotus seeds and red japonica porridge.

"I'll just drink porridge." Ye Shuhua was not picky about food, picked up chopsticks, picked up some walnut kernels and stewed duck meat for Song Ruoxi, "Yingying, you can eat it too."

"If you eat yours, don't worry about me." Song Ruoxi smiled.

Ye Shuhua was so hungry that Song Ruoxi had just drunk half a bowl of porridge when the porridge in his bowl was at a loss. He got up and went to serve another bowl. Although he was anxious, his dining etiquette was not distorted.

After drinking the porridge, Song Ruoxi looked up at the fatigue in his eyes and said with pain: "If you can leave the things to your subordinates, let them do it. Don't think about seeing and doing everything yourself. This is too hard."

Ye Shuhua swallowed the dishes in his mouth and said, "I will arrange them, and I won't be as busy as I do in the future."

"Well, this is what people in high positions should do." Song Ruoxi smiled and picked up some onion-flavored crucian carp jerkraut and put it in his bowl, "Eat more."

After dinner, the two walked back hand in hand, turned a corner, and met Qinghe and Qiaoer who came to find them.

"Young City Lord, Young Madam, where have you been?" Qinghe felt relieved when she saw that the two of them had nothing to do.

"We are hungry, so we go to the kitchen to find food." Song Ruoxi smiled.

When they returned to the room, Qinghe and Qiaoer went to fetch hot water, waited for the two to wash, and then left the room after they went to bed.

The next morning, when Song Ruoxi woke up, Ye Shuhua had already gone to Zhongyuan, "Xiangxiu, when is it time?"

"The first moment of Si." Xiangxiu put the curtain on the silver hook.

"Ah, it's so late." Song Ruoxi lifted the quilt, "Why didn't you wake me up? It's so late, how can I have the nerve to go over and pay my respects to my mother?"

"The young city lord has given instructions, and I am not allowed to wake up the young lady, saying that the young lady will sleep until she sleeps until she will sleep until she will sleep until she will sleep." Xiang Xiu said with a smile.

"No, why don't you serve me in clothes quickly?" Song Ruoxi urged.

"Young lady, don't worry. Ouyang's mother has already gone to take leave with her wife. Young lady doesn't have to go to pay her respects today." Xiangduo and Mint led the little maids in with toiletries.

There is no need to go to Danning House to pay tribute, Song Ruoxi will not have to worry. After having dinner and handling the common affairs in the garden, as soon as he entered the gate of Shuyuyuan, he heard Ye Shuting say, "Damn Xiaobai, are you dead? If you die thoroughly, I will send you to the kitchen to pluck your hair and fry it."

"Don't kill the donor." Xiaobai said in a strange and strange manner.

Song Ruoxi smiled and walked over, "Sister Ting, you are here."

"Sister-in-law, come and take a look. This parrot will pretend to be dead, and it will behave like it." Ye Shuting waved to Song Ruoxi excitedly.

Song Ruoxi walked closer and saw Xiaobai lying on the ground, his eyes closed, looking dead.

"Beauty, beauty, help me!" Xiaoguai finally called out two more words when he was urgently aiding his companion.

"Don't pretend to be dead, go play with Xiaoguai!" Song Ruoxi picked up Xiaobai's claws and threw them out of the corridor. Xiaobai instantly spread his wings and flew up. The two parrots stood on the branches, sorted out their feathers, and flew elsewhere to play.

"Sister-in-law, Ouyang's mother said you feel a little uncomfortable, but have you summoned the good doctor to see you?" Ye Shuting asked with concern.

Song Ruoxi smiled and stroked his forehead and said, "It's nothing, I just have a little dizzy."

"I feel dizzy, I need to have a good rest." Ye Shuting helped her, "Sister-in-law, let's go in and sit and talk."

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law entered the room and sat and chatted. Ye Shuting accidentally saw a brocade box containing a butterfly wings, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"

"How many butterfly wings?" Song Ruoxi smiled and opened the brocade box, "Sister Ting, can you play?"

"I can only put out a few graphics, how many graphics can my sister-in-law put out?" Ye Shuting took out the butterfly wings and put out the graphics on the table to play with it.

Song Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "More than a dozen."

"Sister-in-law, teach me how to show it."

"Okay." Song Ruoxi held the teacup and leaned against the chair, looking at her with a smile, and gave advice from time to time.

The two of them worked together to form forty or fifty figures.

"Sister-in-law, our sister-in-law joins hands with invincible in the world." Ye Shuting smiled proudly.

"Others can show more than one hundred ways, but we have shown so dozens of ways. We are still far from being invincible in the world." Song Ruoxi attacked her.

Ye Shuting put the butterfly wings back into the brocade box and said, "We can use our brains to put more than one hundred things in time."

"Okay." Song Ruoxi chuckled and left her for lunch before sending her out.

Ye Shuhua was convinced and arranged the matter properly. He came back every day to accompany Song Ruoxi for dinner.

Chen Yin, outside the city, ate and drank all day without any unusual actions, but Jiang Yan'er's death made Ye Shuhua dare not take it lightly, and increased the number of people surveillance him. However, as the Huanhua Banquet approached, more and more people came to the city, which increased the difficulty of surveillance.

The Huanhua Banquet is a feast, but rather a cooking competition between chefs. It is held every three years and held for three days. Not only will the people from all states in Yingcheng come, but even the other five countries will also have chefs to compete for the position of the top ten famous chefs. This Huanhua Banquet is a great thing for diners and a great thing for major restaurants. The reputation of the chefs will become famous, and the reputation of the restaurant will increase greatly. Diners will gather, and the restaurants will earn a lot of money.

Song Ruoxi learned about this from the Lord of Zhaoping County, swallowed his saliva and said, "Mother, can we attend this flower-washing banquet?"

"Do you want to go?" Zhaoping County Lord asked with a smile.

"Think." Song Ruoxi nodded like pounding garlic, looking at the Lord of Zhaoping County with a look of hope.

On the other hand, Ye Shuting also looked at the Lord of Zhaoping County with a look of anticipation.

The county lord Zhaoping looked at the pair of sister-in-law with the same expression and laughed silently. He picked up the tea cup and drank tea, not saying he agreed or disagreed.

Song Ruoxi and Ye Shuting exchanged glances and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Mother."

The Zhaoping County Lord smiled, "Okay, take you there."

"Thank you, mother." The two of them said in unison.

When Zhaoping County mainly took Song Ruoxi and Ye Shuting to attend the Huanhua Banquet, Ye Fan and his son did not express any objection, but just convened a group of people to arrange things well in case something happened at the banquet.

We look forward to the stars and the moon. On April 19th, the Huanhua Banquet was held in the East Square in the city. Diners who came to taste the food squeezed the spacious square out of nowhere.
