Youguo is strong, ** must be beautiful like a cloud, among which there are also princesses from other countries, and the princesses next to them are all selected by King Youwang when he chose a concubine three years ago, so he naturally marries infinitely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut what is the difference between a princess like me who was sent to marry for a truce and a hostage, it's just that as a woman, she is not as valuable as those sons who are hostages in the hidden country.

But even so, Youguo still doesn't allow me to bring my marrying palace to go with me, which shows the vigilance of the Youwang Wang, this person must be very suspicious and difficult to get along with, and it must be difficult to gain his trust.

I remember that the prince Fu said that Youguo used to be a small country in Xirong, and it had no status among the countries, and it was not inconspicuous. By the time Dongfang Fu Yin succeeded to the throne, none of the six kingdoms could compete with it. The king of the ghost is brutal, every time the army occupies a city, the city must be slaughtered, up to the septuagenarian, down to the swaddling baby, no matter how killed, there are few survivors, and the scene is very miserable.

How could my father not be plotted against such a cruel and cunning man when he made a covenant with such a cruel and cunning man?

Thinking of this, I bit my lower lip tightly, and tears welled up in my eyelashes.

The oil in the tent was burning, and the face in the bronze mirror was suddenly distorted, and the heart was torn back and forth like a blunt knife.

I couldn't bear to look at my expression in the mirror, turned around sadly, covered my heart, reclined down next to the bed, and put my face on the crimson satin bottom embroidered with a cloud quilt with the pattern of a black bird and auspicious cloud deer. The fingers gently rubbed the quilt, cool and soft as the muscles and bones of the daughter's family, and the dark patterns in front of her gradually blurred into dense black spots, like blood droplets in the heart dripping on it drop by drop.

I fell asleep in a daze, and I don't know how long later, I heard someone shouting outside the door: "Princess, Gan Tang has brought dinner to the princess, please eat for the princess." ”

woke up groggy and painful, and only lazily responded: "Take it in." ”

I reluctantly sat up, Qian Yuan saw this and quickly helped me, I shook my head slightly, I only felt weak, and there was a girl in purple kneeling in front of the meeting, holding a food box in both hands.

"So, you're Gantang?"

Seeing me ask, she suddenly looked up and was stunned, and before I could see her appearance clearly, she instantly lowered her head and knelt down to salute.

"Back to the princess, the slave is Gantang. The slave maid brought dinner to the princess and invited her to dinner. She leaned over and knelt down in a proper manner, holding the food box in her hands steadily, motionless, giving people a sense of calm and beauty.

"Put it on a small table. ”

"Princess Xie. ”

She placed the food box on the small table next to her, and knelt down to thank her before getting up and retreating aside. Qian Xiang helped me up, my eyes were looking at Gan Tang intentionally or unintentionally, slightly taller and slightly slender than Qian Yuan, the eyebrows and eyes are all spiritual, and the demeanor is appropriate, not as lively as Qian Yuan, calm but not dull, very pleasing to the eye.

I could see that the Queen Mother had put a lot of thought into me, smiled slightly, and said softly: "If you are really a Peugeot person, presumably the Queen Mother also gave you two to me because of the pain, and when I arrived at the palace, I had to bother the two of you to take me to the Queen Mother's ** to thank me in person." ”

The princess praised it. The princess is about to enter the palace as a concubine, Gan Tang and Qian Qian can serve the princess is the blessing of the slaves, and the two slaves and maids will do their best to serve the princess in the future, one to live up to the queen mother's trust, and the other to live up to the princess's grace to the slaves. She pulled her to kneel on the ground and bowed respectfully, and she followed along, looking far less calm than her.

This caught my attention even more.

Gan Tang is about the same age as me, her tone is soft, her words are calm, although she is not half timid when she first sees her master, but she is more stable and calm than Qianqiu, and at this moment I really feel that Qianxiang is just innocent and simple. If it weren't for the careful training in the prince and the princess, it would have been born like this, and it would be even more rare.

I had a lot of calculations in my mind, but I didn't have a definite answer, but in any case, I must not let them see that I had doubts until I understood the situation.

So he pretended to smile easily and said happily: "Get up quickly, you don't have to be formal." Since it is a person given by the Queen Mother, they are naturally all top-notch, where can there be bad reason? Although they are masters and servants, they hope to get along like their own family. I didn't bring the maid with me to marry, and I'm going to have to work hard for you two in the future. ”

They agreed in unison, and waited for me to sit down at the small table and prepare for dinner. There are four or five kinds of side dishes in total, including pickled beans, pickled beef, spicy rabbit meat, roast pigeon, and vinegar-pickled cabbage, all of which are very delicate and look very appetizing.

I looked at these dishes and sighed sincerely, "It's hard for you to be able to make such delicious food in the countryside in a hurry." ”

"The princess is serious, taking care of the princess's food, clothing and daily life is the duty of the slaves and maids. Princess, try it, if there is anything that is not in your taste, please forgive the princess, and the slaves will definitely improve next time. Gan Tang said while placing the dishes and chopsticks for me.

I tasted the capers first, they were crisp and delicious, not too sour, slightly spicy, and tasteful in my mouth. I nodded, ate some more, and found it appetizing, so I ate it with rice, and the roast pigeon and cured beef tasted very similar to what I used to eat in the palace, and the salt and spicy taste were just right for my taste.

Seeing that I was very happy to eat, Gantang and Qiao's faces gradually showed joy, and they prepared vegetables for me at the right time.

It's just that when I ate this spicy rabbit meat, I thought of my uncle and aunt again.

When I was seven years old, my father and mother died one after another, I was taken to live in my uncle's **, everything was strange to me, so I had already tasted loneliness and fear when I was young, and I often dreamed of my parents who had gone at night, and when I woke up, I always cried and made trouble, and the whole Jingshou Palace was not peaceful. My aunt always gently and patiently comforted me, told me stories, and sang nursery rhymes to me. No matter how much I mess around, I never get tired of it and never scold. I didn't sleep properly, I was depressed, and I didn't eat well, so I inevitably got sick often.

The palace doctor came to the clinic many times and said that it was caused by spleen and stomach disorders, and in addition to decoction, he also needed to rely on food supplements. This flavor of the ingredient is rabbit meat, rabbit meat is cool and sweet, has the effect of dispelling diseases and strengthening the body, appetizing and strengthening the spleen. The cooking method of rabbit meat in the palace is monotonous, all of which are grilled, and the roasted rabbit meat often has a sour taste, and I hate it the most. When my uncle and mother found out, they cooked a spicy rabbit meat for me every day, and I didn't know it was rabbit meat when I first ate it, but I thought it was very delicious, and I could eat an extra bowl of rice every time. After eating a full meal, I didn't feel sick and uncomfortable in my stomach when I drank the decoction again.

Later, my body gradually improved, and I gradually quieted down and gradually learned to be well-behaved. I liked this dish, so I asked if it was chicken, and my aunt told me it was rabbit. So every ten days and a half months, I shouted to eat, and my uncle and mother showed the cooking method to the cooks in Jingshou Palace, so that they could make it at any time when I wanted to eat in the future.

I still remember the cooking method, in advance, the rabbit meat should be cut into small pieces and marinated overnight with salt and pepper, and then overheated and fried for a short time, drained the oil and put it aside, the condiments were stir-fried in the oil pan to bring out the fragrance, and then the rabbit meat was poured in, mixed with some rice wine, and boiled for half an hour before stir-frying out of the pot.

I took a piece of rabbit meat with a trembling hand and put it in my mouth, chewing it slowly, my throat was a little choked, which was slightly different from what my uncle and aunt had done before. I tried my best to hold myself, I didn't want to cry in front of Gantang and Qiao, but I choked for a while, and the chili foam accidentally choked into the trachea, I put down my chopsticks, turned my head to cover my mouth and coughed violently, and the tears finally fell naturally. Seeing this, Gan Tang and Qian Qian hurriedly poured tea while patting me on the back. I coughed vigorously and took a few more large sips of water, which eased up a bit.

"What's wrong with the princess? It's all the slaves and maids who are not good, this dish shouldn't be too spicy, but King Zuo Xian has instructed, saying that Xiqiu likes salty and spicy food, and wants the slaves and maids to prepare meals according to the taste of the princess's hometown. ”

Gan Tang pleaded guilty on the side, my throat was uncomfortable, I couldn't speak, and I coughed again. But I was thinking in my heart, this Zuo Xian King was silent on his face, and in private he even grasped my preferences so clearly, what was his purpose?

"Princess, Gan Tang didn't mean it, and I ask the princess to forgive me. ”

Qian Xiang helped me pour water while interceding for Gantang.

Seeing that they were so nervous, I said softly, "Where is your fault? I was choked by accident, and it has nothing to do with you." As soon as the words fell, he coughed lightly a few times, glanced at Gan Tang, and asked softly, "Are you making these dishes?"

"Back to the princess, it was made by the slave maid, and the materials were all prepared in advance, and the slave and maid processed it slightly. ”

"You're too modest, although I don't know these ways of cooking, but I also know that even if these dishes have ready-made ingredients, it takes a lot of effort, and they are very close to my usual taste. I want to thank you for the meals you prepared for me on my way away from home, and for relieving me of my absence. ”

"However, the slave maid just caused the princess to suffer in vain......" Gan Tang choked back tears and looked up at me, his eyes full of gratitude.

I smiled and said, "I don't blame you, I thought of my family when I ate this spicy rabbit meat just now, and I couldn't help myself for a while, so I was choked." ”

At this time, Qian Qian also knelt on the side and whispered: "The princess is so lenient, the slave and Gan Tang can serve the princess today is really a blessing that the slaves and maids have cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Seeing that both of them were like this, I said slowly, "Hurry up." ”

It is rumored that the rules of the Youguo Palace are strict, and the abuse of torture against the palace slaves may not be false, otherwise it would not be a little wrong for the master, so they are so frightened.
