byThe imperial concubine arrives(6)
The next day, Leng Xiyan had just finished her breakfast when she saw a man dressed as a father-in-law walking towards him. Behind him were two guards carrying boxes.
“Slave, please see the imperial concubine…”
“Get up, aren’t you from Jiu Qiansui?” Leng Xiyan looked confused.
“Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. This servant is a subordinate who is nine thousand years old. You can just call me Xiao Pingzi…” Xiao Pingzi said with a smile.
“What’s the matter with father-in-law coming here at this time?” Leng Xiyan asked, curiously looking at the box behind him.
“Going back to your Majesty, Chitose-sama passed through Suzhou last time and got a lot of knickknacks. He specially ordered his servants to bring them to my Majesty to relieve her boredom…”
After saying that, he ordered the two guards to carry the box forward and open it.Leng Xiyan took a closer look and saw that the box was filled with all kinds of gadgets to relieve boredom: nine-ring rings, Huarong Tao, diabolo, kites, story books, etc.
Leng Xiyan picked up a nine-link ring, made of jade, and played with it in her hand.At this time, she heard a very quiet cat meowing, coming from the basket held by Xiao Pingzi.
Xiao Pingzi opened the red silk cloth covering the basket, and a little milk cat appeared in front of Leng Xiyan.The little cat was all white and had blue eyes. It looked at Leng Xiyan curiously.
“What a cute cat…” Leng Xiyan carefully took it out of the basket. The small one was just a little bigger than her hand. It stayed in her hand obediently and stretched out its tongue to lick her palm, seeming to be coquettish to her.
“Your Majesty, this is a Persian cat that was paid tribute by the envoys from the Western Regions. The Emperor rewarded it to Nine Thousand Years Old. Nine Thousand Years Old was ordered to send it to the Queen to relieve her boredom. Moreover, this cat is docile by nature, so Your Majesty can rest assured…”
“Please, father-in-law, please thank me for nine thousand years…” Leng Xiyan said with a smile.
“I know that if there is nothing wrong with you, I will leave first…” Xiao Pingzi said respectfully.Leng Xiyan nodded and signaled him to step back.
East Factory.
“Sir, my servant has already given the things to your Majesty. Your Majesty is very happy and asked me to thank you…” Xiao Pingzi stood at the bottom and answered with a slightly lowered body.
Hearing this, Chi Xu smiled and said, “Well done, go down and receive the reward…”
“Thank you, sir…” Xiao Pingzi happily stepped back.
Leng Xiyan had been playing with the cat all morning. The little cat was tired from playing and fell asleep in the basket with its eyes closed.I looked at the sky outside and saw that it was almost noon.Leng Xiyan thought about it and decided to cook a few dishes to thank Chi Xu.
Leng Xiyan has her own small kitchen.When she first entered the palace, Leng Xiyan was ill, so the queen allowed her to set up a small kitchen in her palace and also allocated an imperial chef to her.
“Slave, please see the empress…” The people in the small kitchen were preparing lunch, and they stopped what they were doing when they saw Leng Xiyan.
Leng Xiyan looked around, yes, the ingredients are all complete.”You guys go down first…”
The cooks looked at each other, then exited in an orderly manner.
Leng Xiyan conceived a few dishes and began to prepare them.Washing and selecting vegetables, cutting fish, stir-frying… the movements are smooth and smooth, all done in one go.
Yuping on the side was dumbfounded: When did my young lady become so powerful?
Leng Xiyan looked at Yuping who was standing aside, a little helpless, “What are you doing standing there, come and help put the food…”
Yuping came back to her senses, said yes, and helped Leng Xiyan put the exquisite dishes into red lacquered wooden boxes.
“Let’s go… let’s go to Dongchang…” Leng Xiyan walked out of the small kitchen carrying the box.Yuping followed quickly.
At the gate of Dongchang, Xiao Pingzi was standing guard outside.When he saw Leng Xiyan, he had to say hello to her, “No need to be polite, Xiao Pingzi, where are your adults?”
“Reply to your Majesty, your Excellency is interrogating the prisoner, please wait a moment…”
Not long after, the closed door was opened, and Leng Xiyan smelled the vague smell of blood. She frowned and stepped in.
Chi Xu happened to come out of the inner room and saw Leng Xiyan. He was stunned for a moment, and then recovered, “Your Majesty…”
“Are you done with Jiu Qiansui?” Leng Xiyan asked.
“You’re done, Madam, what are you doing?” Chi Xu looked at her with some confusion.
“I came here to thank Jiu Qiansui. I wonder if Jiu Qiansui would be willing to have lunch with me?” Leng Xi smiled lightly.
“My slave welcomes you…” Chi Xu said with a smile.
Leng Xiyan took out carefully cooked dishes from the red lacquered wooden box: boiled cabbage sum, squirrel mandarin fish, fried stuffed tofu, duck with tangerine peel and wild mushroom soup, as well as two bowls of white rice, enough for two people.
“I made this with my own hands. You must not despise it if you are nine thousand years old…” Leng Xiyan blinked.
“It’s too late for me to be grateful to have my wife cook with her own hands, so how can I dislike it…” Chi Xu’s eyes were full of smiles.
Chi Xu picked up a piece of fish. The meat was delicate, tender and delicious. Chi Xu was a little surprised: I didn’t expect the little girl’s cooking skills to be so good…
Seeing that he didn’t show any wrong expression, Leng Xiyan guessed that he liked him and felt relieved.
After lunch, Leng Xiyan refused to leave and pestered Chi Xu to play chess.As a result, her chess skills were so bad that she lost every game, muttering that Chi Xu wouldn’t let her.Chi Xu felt that she was cute because of her little temper.
When she left Dongchang, she took away a lot of good things from Chi Xu, and then she left with satisfaction.
