Chapter 305: King You, the enemy of the Gu family, has arrived
After everyone sat down around the table, Mrs. Gu first served a bowl of lamb chop soup to the Evil King and General Gu respectively.
As she served the food, she praised Jiang Yimo's stewed lamb chops: "Oh my, this soup is so delicious! I've made lamb chops soup many times before, but never could it taste like this! And the lamb doesn't taste smelly at all, it's amazing!"
General Gu did not show any special expression when he heard his wife's praise.
After all, he knew his granddaughter's cooking skills very well.
Besides, there are all kinds of spices and ingredients hidden in my granddaughter's space. Making a delicious lamb chop soup is a piece of cake!
At this time, General Gu was listening to Mrs. Gu talking while gently blowing on the bowl of steaming lamb chop soup in front of him.
He first took a deep breath, letting the rich aroma penetrate his body through his nasal cavity, and then slowly sipped the hot soup...
Well, it’s still that familiar taste. The delicious soup paired with the soft and tasty mutton makes people linger in the aftertaste!
He muttered to himself, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face involuntarily.
The evil king, who was sitting nearby, watched all this silently.
He thought to himself, the grandparents and grandchildren of the Gu family are really interesting. One is a young girl with excellent cooking skills, and the other is an old boy with a childlike heart. Moreover, they both seem to be big foodies!
Thinking of this, the evil king couldn't help but smile and decided to taste the clear-boiled lamb chops soup that Madam Gu praised so much.
The evil king turned his head and saw that General Gu had already started drinking the mutton chop soup, so he also picked up the bowl and drank it slowly.
In fact, he was not very interested in mutton. This was mainly because when he was fighting on the border in the past, he had to often eat mutton as his staple food due to the harsh environment and lack of supplies.
At that time, whether the mutton was stewed or roasted, it would emit a strong smell that was unbearable.
Moreover, eating this kind of food for a long time has made him feel a certain degree of boredom with mutton.
However, at this moment, after he took a sip of the clear lamb chops soup cooked by the future princess, he couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise in his heart.
The soup tasted delicious, without any smell of mutton, as if it had completely overturned the taste of mutton in his memory.
Every bite has a light fragrance and delicate taste, which makes people linger on the aftertaste.
The evil king couldn't help but secretly sigh that it turned out that the same mutton could bring such completely different experiences due to different cooking methods and craftsmanship.
He began to understand that everything in the world has its own uniqueness, and as long as one explores and appreciates it with heart, one can discover the beauty and surprises hidden in it.
And this feeling is not limited to food, but also a revelation of life attitude.
Everyone enjoyed the meal tonight very much, especially the Evil King Feng Wuhen, who was extremely happy.
When Jiang Yimo went to buy groceries in the afternoon, she seemed to have some complaints about the dishes he mentioned, but in fact she carefully cooked many of his favorite dishes.
While eating, Feng Wuhen was very satisfied, and the sweetness in his heart was even better than tasting nectar.
After dinner, it was still early, so the family sat together in the small garden of the Gu Mansion, leisurely sipping tea and chatting.
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen did not return to the Evil King's Mansion.
At this moment, a servant came running in hurriedly, panting and reporting: "Your Highness the Evil King, Old Master, Miss Jiang, there is a man who calls himself the You King waiting outside the door."
Before the servant finished speaking, General Gu and the Evil King immediately stood up and led everyone to the gate of the mansion to prepare to welcome King You's arrival.
At the same time, Jiang Yimo discovered that Gu Yuanshan, who had always been a gentle person, suddenly became gloomy when he heard the name King You.
Seeing this, Jiang Yimo's mind suddenly emerged with what Feng Wuhen had once said to her.
It seems that King You has some disputes with Gu Yuanshan, and this is inextricably linked to the fact that Gu's family was confiscated and exiled.
However, Feng Wuhen did not elaborate on the specific grievances and hatreds between them.
In short, in Jiang Yimo's opinion, the conflict between King You and Gu Yuanshan is not as simple as it seems.
Just then, a group of people hurriedly walked towards the gate of the mansion.
Not long after, they saw an extremely luxurious carriage parked not far outside the mansion gate.
Then, a man slowly got off the carriage.
He had a beard as long as a short brush and wore a black four-clawed dragon robe embroidered with golden silk threads, which made him look particularly solemn and dignified.
He was seen walking slowly towards the gate of Gu family's new house with steady steps.
When General Gu saw King You coming, although he did not like the ancient etiquette at all, and even more so did King You who had caused the Gu family to be exiled, the difference between the monarch and his subjects was very important in the eyes of the ancients, and he could not stand out too much.
Thinking of this, he half bowed and led the Gu family to pay tribute to King You, and Jiang Yimo also bowed.
Feng Wuhen took a step forward and bowed slightly to King You. King You looked at him with a smile and said, "You are so lucky, boy. I heard that the emperor has granted you and Miss Jiang a marriage. Miss Jiang is a beautiful and talented person with excellent medical skills!"
As soon as King You finished speaking, his eyes involuntarily swept towards Jiang Yimo.
He thought to himself: Jiang Yimo is indeed Gu Yebei's granddaughter. Every time I see her, I can't help but be attracted by the unique charm she exudes, and I can't even take my eyes off her.
But he could not monopolize this woman like he did with Cui Wanguan, because this woman was not only favored by the Evil King, but was also a popular figure around the Queen Mother and the old Emperor.
Thinking of this, King You withdrew his gaze from Jiang Yimo.
Although he likes beauties of all personalities, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not as important as the power in his hands. For a man of his noble status and prominent position, these love affairs are just spice of life.
After King You looked Jiang Yimo up and down, he shifted his gaze to Gu Yuanshan.
The man in front of him was tall and straight, with a handsome face. His every move revealed a calm, mature and confident temperament, which made King You feel jealous.
Back then, the woman whom King You loved the most, Princess You, actually fell in love with a young boy like Gu Yuanshan, which made King You feel extremely angry and humiliated. So, he came up with a plan to get this woman by force and make her completely submit to him.
After careful planning, King You successfully took Princess You for himself and made her his woman.
However, this did not satisfy King You's desire for revenge, so he decided to set up another trap to put Princess You and Gu Yuanshan in a desperate situation.
