　　After Zhang Gao came out from Li Chengqian’s, he first went to select a few maids of honor for Liu Hai, and asked someone to take the money and wait for him outside the palace, then returned to his own, took out the white wine that Li Chengqian had rewarded him with before, and asked someone to hold two jars of it before rushing towards the kitchen.

　　As for Liu Hai, he also rushed back to the East Palace kitchen without stopping after settling down Lin Juan, and just after arriving at the kitchen, he saw Zhang Gao.

　　”Elder brother Liu, your speed is too fast! I thought you want to stay with your younger siblings for a while longer before coming over, planning to come over to prepare the ingredients first that” before Liu Hai opened his mouth, Zhang Gao joked to, before Zhang Gao was willing to be close to Liu Hai, that’s because he wanted to eat Liu Hai’s dishes, but from today’s Li Chengqian’s attitude towards Liu Hai, it made Zhang Gao more willing to be closer to Liu Hai, otherwise with Zhang Gao’s status today, it’s really not anyone can talk to him.

　　”Chief Zhang, so to speak, then it must be his highness agreed, then I will go to cook first, in a while we will have a good drink, his highness can reward me a altar of white wine before, I haven’t been able to drink it, but today all of it” For Zhang Gao’s closeness, Liu Hai is also very happy to see it, but he feels that his status is still a little low, and he doesn’t dare to be like Zhang Gao. .

　　”Liu old brother, we are so familiar, and the same under the hands of His Highness to do things you do not even call old brother, is not that I think I Zhang Gao is a eunuch, when you can not afford that old brother ah” Zhang Gao see Liu Hai is still a little bit of constriction, half a joke to Liu Hai said.

　　”This old brother said there words, this is not afraid of people gossip, say I climbed high! But old brother you are now so say, that little brother can respectfully not obey the order, old brother in the outside wait a moment, I go to do a few kinds of dishes, a moment we have a good drink” After all, is in the palace stayed a long time old man, see Zhang Gao are so say, he also follow Zhang Gao’s meaning.

　　After the two said a few words, Liu Hai dressed, in the kitchen busy up, not much a while Liu Hai did a dozen kinds of colorful dishes, this is because a lot of need to be stewed in advance of the ingredients, before it has been done, or Zhang Gao outside can have to wait.

　　After it was done, Liu Hai had someone use a food box to pack it for him, then found the kitchen steward in charge of bookkeeping and purchasing, and took out 1000 money to give him.

　　”Chief Liu, what are you doing, the ingredients you used today, Chief Zhang said that they are all promised by His Highness, you can use them by the way” Seeing Liu Hai give himself money, guessed what the meaning of the bookkeeper, immediately opened his mouth and said.

　　”His Highness rewarded, of course I won’t give you money, but this money is the money I invited all the brothers in the kitchen to add food, you take it, today’s dinner, you will press this money, add food for the brothers, Chief Zhang is still waiting for me outside, I will leave first” after saying that Liu Hai left quickly.

　　”Elder brother Liu, why are you just coming out, quick, quick, quick, I can’t wait to try a bite” Seeing Liu Hai coming out, Zhang Gao stood up and said to him.

　　Then they exchanged a few pleasantries and Liu Hai went out of the palace under the leadership of Zhang Gao, bringing along the crowd that had been waiting outside the palace and rushed towards Liu Hai’s house together.

　　At first Liu Hai also wondered why Zhang Gao brought him out of the palace, but seeing the people waiting outside, he thought it was Zhang Gao who also had a mansion outside, and was planning to go there by himself today, he didn’t ask, and let Zhang Gao bring him until they came to the door of his house, Liu Hai looked at Zhang Gao in desire to speak.

　　”Don’t look, these people, are the highness rewarded to you, and the back of those boxes is also the highness rewarded to you 20,000 money, the highness said, on your little money, raise a person that is not starve to death, so it rewarded you these, by the way the highness your future salary is 100,000 money a year, how is it, happy” Zhang Gao saw Liu Hai want to speak again and again, looked at himself, then immediately smiled and put Liu Hai to the door of his house. Zhang Gao saw Liu Hai looking at himself, immediately smiled and told the story.

　　This let hear the movement out of the Lin Juan, and Liu Hai are frozen there, these years, Liu Hai one after another also saved 3000 money, which has more than 2000, or this half a year in the East Palace to save, originally he was planning to invite all the East Palace kitchen after the wedding and what not to do, so he will be so generous to take out so much money to invite guests, but did not think that the crown prince this at once to give him so much.

　　”You couple don’t freeze, sister-in-law you hurry up and let them take the money in, I’ll just go in for a drink and a meal with Liu Lao Di,” said Zhang Gao pulling Liu Hai who was still frozen in to go in, leaving Lin Juan alone there.

　　When Zhang Gao went in, Lin Juan saw that there were two maids who had been taking care of her sisters in the laundry department, so Lin Juan ran over to them and hugged them and cried.

　　After crying for a while, Lin Juan hurriedly let the people carry all the things in, and after settling down, she hurriedly went to Liu Hai and their place, wanting to serve, but was persuaded back by Liu Hai.

　　In this way, Liu Hai accompanied Zhang Gao has been eating for almost an hour, in two are drunk, before dispersing.

　　After thinking for a while, Lin Juan helped the drunken Liu Hai to the bed, fetched water to wipe his body, and served him to sleep. Lin Juan, who was about to go out after this, looked at Liu Hai who was wearing a dress, and finally her heart crossed, removed her own clothes, and lied down to Liu Hai’s side.

　　A night without words, and so the next morning, Liu Hai headache, to get up to find water to drink, confused up, hand unconsciously touch to one side, touched a person, Liu Hai immediately scared of a drunkenness is not, staring wide-eyed to see, only to see a charm of the beautiful woman is lying beside him, he took a closer look to find that it is his longing for Lin Juan, Liu Hai’s heart indisputable beating up.

　　”Nerd, what are you looking at” wakes up Lin Juan, sees Liu Hai looking straight at himself, shyly blanks him.

　　”Juan’er, you’re so beautiful” Liu Hai said as he looked at Lin Juan in a daze.

　　”Alright, get up! If you want to see it in the future, I will let you see it enough, didn’t you say that you have to go to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this morning?” Lin Juan said shyly.

　　”Yes, I still have to see His Highness today, and I still have to prepare breakfast, I can’t afford to be late” Hearing Lin Juan’s words, Liu Hai hurriedly climbs up.
