Chapter 193: Keju Contest (2)
Everyone got up very early, and when Millet got dressed and looked out of the window, they were already holding bowls and starting to eat breakfast. Needless to say, this must have been prepared by Chef Xu.
When Millet arrived in the yard, as soon as she reached the steamer and reached out to get the buns, Chef Xu stopped her in time and whispered to her that the master was waiting for her in the house.
Isn't it so interesting, in this situation, still waiting for her to have breakfast together? Xiaomi sighed with emotion, walked towards Yin Zixuan's wooden building, and when he entered the house, he saw that the dishes and chopsticks had been placed on the table. Yin Zixuan was holding a book and looking at it.
"Pretty calm." Millet joked and sat down on her own.
Yin Zixuan smiled, threw the book on the coffee table on the side, and walked to the table to sit down.
At this time, Chef Xu came in with a steaming small cage drawer, put it on the table, lifted the lid, gave Yin Zixuan a drawer, and put another drawer in front of Xiaomi.
"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Xiaomi smiled and thanked her, in fact, she really wanted to eat the big buns in the big cage drawer outside. Xiaolongbao is exquisite and delicious, but I haven't eaten that kind of big bun for a long time, it's weird.
Even so, Xiaomi has no resentment, because she knows that she must know blessings when she is in the midst of blessings.
Fragrant millet porridge, shrimp xiaolongbao, crispy appetizers, and a plate of salted duck egg yolk dripping with oil, this breakfast is really beautiful, delicious and nutritious. Dining with Yin Zixuan every day, I have long been used to it, and Millet eats as unrestrained as before.
Since Yin Zixuan first knew that she liked to eat the yellow of salted duck eggs, the whole duck eggs never appeared on breakfast. Where did the egg whites go, whether they were thrown away or eaten by other people, Xiaomi was not curious at all.
Xiaomi felt that it was really wise for him to choose to follow Yin Zixuan. What a blessing.
"When eating, don't think about things. Don't worry, with me to help you with advice, you will definitely get that princess done, and you won't marry. Seeing that Yin Zixuan was distracted, Xiaomi teased her.
Isn't that bragging, woman? Ten people like romance. Although he is not good at falling in love. But isn't there such a saying, I haven't eaten pork, haven't I seen a pig run? Love. I've watched a lot of TV series, and I know a lot of those romantic tricks.
It's easy to get an ancient girl.
"It's that simple. Since Xiliguo plans to use his daughter to marry, the object of the marriage must be beneficial to them. The case of several of our brothers. I'm afraid I'll find out a long time ago. This time, I just want to give it a try.
If it happens, it's best, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Yin Zixuan saw that Xiaomi looked like she was bound to win, and she was afraid that if things didn't work out, she would have a psychological burden. Hurry up.
"Well, you're right. But think about it. If there is a candidate in Xili Kingdom, then after the princess comes. Just pick it out, listen to what you said before, it's clear that the princess hasn't made up her mind.
Your mother must know this best, otherwise, why would she take the extra step to invite the princess to enjoy the flowers? And whose mother didn't she also give the princess a pearl shirt?
Well, either the princess didn't make up her mind, or Xiliguo did it on purpose to provoke conflicts between your brothers. "Xiaomi is analyzing it very seriously.
Looking at her serious appearance and tone, the corners of Yin Zixuan's mouth couldn't help but rise. He also had to admit that although Xiaomi was young, her analysis was reasonable.
"Have you eaten well, let's go after eating, they are all in a hurry." Millet put down the chopsticks and asked, only to realize that he had asked a lot of questions, people had already put down the chopsticks, they were full, and they were waiting for her at all.
Yin Zixuan nodded with a smile, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and walked out the door.
As soon as they moved, Yalan Curie was immediately empty, and Chef Xu was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Hongbao looked anxious, but thinking of Xiaomi's advice, he didn't dare to help Chef Xu clean up. Be ruthless, turn around and go back to Xiaomi's house, or clean the house where Xiaomi lives again.
Yin Zixuan could see clearly, and when he arrived outside the door, Xiaomi quickly looked around and got into the carriage first. She loves to be so lively on weekdays, but now she is very honest in the carriage, and she doesn't look out of the window, and she doesn't even open the curtain.
Well, when this is over, I will solve her troubles, Yin Zixuan decided in his heart.
"By the way, will Mrs. Shangshu go to this competition?" Xiaomi suddenly thought of this question.
I haven't seen Mrs. Shangshu for half a month, either I miss that lady, or I just think it's strange.
"I should go." Yin Zixuan responded, but also felt a little abnormal. Why did Mrs. Shangshu suddenly change her temper and didn't come to invite Xiaomi to go shopping? "What, you miss her?" He asked, curious.
Xiaomi immediately shook her head and denied it; "It's not that I think about it, but I just think it's abnormal. Actually, Mrs. Shangshu is very good. ”
"Since you think she's a good person, why don't you agree to be a daughter?" Yin Zixuan asked again.
This time, Xiaomi was silent and did not respond immediately. "I like the way I am now, uninhibited and comfortable. Being her daughter is not child's play. If I agree, I will have to take on the responsibility of being someone else's daughter.
That would be equivalent to hanging a shackle on yourself, and you will have concerns about what you will do in the future. If you don't want to hurt other people's hearts, then you have to be wronged yourself, isn't that looking for your own guilt, why bother. Millet sighed and said.
After listening to Xiaomi's words, Yin Zixuan couldn't express his feelings, felt that what she said was very childish, and felt that what she said seemed to make sense.
He didn't know why, how he could have so much to talk to with her when he was with her. It's easy to talk to her, and listening to her is already a hobby of his. Because, many of her views and ideas are so novel and interesting.
"Master, it's here." The carriage stopped, and the sound of the wind sounded.
"So soon, arrived?" Xiaomi asked a little incredulously, and while lifting the curtain of the car and looking out, he really saw the tall city wall.
The Keju competition was in the palace, and Yin Zixuan told her that Jucheng was not far from the Imperial Garden.
Got out of the carriage. A palace man had already come to lead the coachman to leave the carriage.
Similarly, there were also palace people who came to lead Yin Zixuan and his party into the palace. When entering the palace gate, Xiao Mi followed Yin Zixuan inside, but was stopped by the guards guarding the door, and reached out to touch her.
"Stop." Yin Zixuan turned around in time to stop it, although she was young, she was also a woman. Yin Zixuan didn't want the man next to her to move her body.
The two people guarding the door looked at the attitude of Prince Xuan. Hurriedly withdrew his hand, not daring to come hard. Put millet in, but talk to them in the back of the wind. I checked it very carefully, front chest and back, touched the upper body, touched the lower body. I didn't even let go of the trouser legs.
Xiaomi sighed and turned to catch up with Yin Zixuan. a very small mutter; "What's so good about being so worried about what the emperor does."
Yin Zixuan glared at her head, looked at the eunuch leading the way in front, and warned Xiaomi. Don't say everything.
Millet stuck out her tongue and shrunk her neck, but there was no fear in her expression at all. Yin Zixuan could only shake his head helplessly. This girl, it's better to bring her less in the palace.
"This father-in-law. Has anyone else arrived? Is it the earliest of our royal palace? Xiaomi, who was honest for a while, caught up with the eunuch who led the way in front of him, and asked sweetly.
"Back girl, the sixth prince, the tenth prince, the eleventh prince, the thirteenth prince, and the seventeenth prince have all arrived." The eunuch saw that Mi was a woman, and just now he also saw the attitude of Prince Xuan towards her, and knew that she was not an ordinary servant, so she asked, and answered patiently.
"Hear me, we're not the most positive, they won't have come last night." Xiaomi walked up to Yin Zixuan and said to him. I wanted to ask him how many princes were participating in the competition. Later, I thought that there must be no concubine who came to participate in the competition, and only the right age could be used, so I swallowed the problem back into my stomach.
However, isn't the sixth prince the one who is single-minded? It seems that when the time comes, there is no need for that old-fashioned excuse.
Listening to Xiaomi's exaggeration, Yin Zixuan still shook his head helplessly. The rules in the palace are very strict, how can so many people be allowed to stay in the palace overnight? At most, it's just a moment before me. After all, there are also regulations on the time when the palace gate is opened.
Unless it is ordered by the emperor, otherwise, even if he is a son, he cannot enter the palace at any time if he wants to.
It's not the first time that Xiaomi has come to this palace, the last time was the wedding of Princess Caifeng, but this time Xiaomi really saw how big the palace was. It's been a long time, and I haven't gotten to the place yet.
The eunuch who led the way also secretly turned his head to look at Xiaomi at this time, and said in his heart, this courage is too big. When others came to the palace, they were all cautious and trembling, but this one is good, just like shopping on the street.
The eunuch can't figure it out, what's the matter with Prince Xuan, bringing such a fat girl? Don't you know that evil comes from your mouth? The prince is not afraid of being affected by her? By the way, it is rumored that Prince Xuan is very fond of a servant girl next to him, could it be this one?
Thinking of this, the eunuch had an impulse to turn around and take a good look at this maid who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, but he was afraid that Prince Xuan would be annoyed, so he had to press his curiosity and honestly lead the way.
"See, it's the Imperial Garden over there." Yin Zixuan was also worried that Xiaomi would say nonsense if he couldn't be idle, so he simply took the initiative to talk to her. At the very least, lead her to something that doesn't matter.
"Huh? Over there? It's okay, and you can't just go in. Xiaomi looked in the direction Yin Zixuan pointed and said disapprerovingly.
"You" Yin Zixuan was speechless, because what Xiaomi said was right, that place was indeed not to go casually. Forget it, I still don't want to talk to her!
Finally, when I arrived at Jucheng in the palace, there was a guard with a knife standing outside the courtyard gate, with no expression on his face, even if he greeted Yin Zixuan, his expression was very serious.
Xiaomi couldn't help but think, the emperor was afraid that someone would assassinate him, so he checked the people entering the palace very carefully, but what if the guards in the palace were bribed? Isn't the emperor also in danger?
With so many guards in the palace, who dares to guarantee that they are all loyal to the emperor?
"The slave has seen the prince." A woman came over from the side to greet Yin Zixuan, who was in her forties.
"Mama Qi, get up." Yin Zixuan's attitude was very good, so that Xiaomi couldn't help but look at the woman carefully, and it felt okay to look at it.
"But the concubine wants to see the king?" Yin Zixuan asked.
"Back to the prince, Niangniang, she wants to meet the girl next to the prince." Mama Qi said as she looked at Xiaomi.
Yin Zixuan frowned involuntarily; "What does the concubine want to see her? When you go back to your mother, you will say that the king will go to see her after the game. ”
"Lord Wang, Niangniang doesn't mean anything else, she just wants to see this girl." Mama Qi seemed to have known that Yin Zixuan would not agree, but she still discussed.
Seeing Yin Zixuan's straight face, Xiaomi felt that she couldn't be silent anymore, just see her, on this occasion like this, she came with Yin Zixuan, how can she drop herself.
So, Xiaomi tugged on Yin Zixuan's sleeve; "Lord, the concubine wants to meet the slave maid, that is the blessing of the slave maid. The slave guessed that the mother knew that I was serving by your side, and wanted to explain the precautions.
The game between the left and right hasn't started yet, so the slave maid will go and say goodbye to the concubine first. ”
Yin Zixuan frowned and thought for a moment; "Okay, say hello and come back early. Wait a minute, the king still wants you to serve. ”
Seeing Yin Zixuan nodded, Mama Qi on the side secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and led Mi to the side path with a smile.
"Wait until you see the mother, be careful to reply." Halfway through, Mama Qi turned around and reminded in a whisper.
From Mama Qi's eyes, Xiaomi felt kindness, so she smiled and nodded. The heart said, don't worry, don't talk about looking at Yin Zixuan's face, I don't want to make trouble for myself.
"Niangniang, she just cares about the prince." Mama Qi thought about it for a while, and said it kindly.
"Don't worry, I understand." Xiaomi nodded understandingly, but his eyes found that the direction he was walking in was not the Imperial Garden that Yin Zixuan had pointed to before. It seems that Xue Guifei is planning to see herself in the Imperial Garden.
Entering the Imperial Garden, Xiaomi enjoyed the beautiful scenery and flowers around her while walking, and Mama Qi looked back at her several times. Mama Qi was also curious, why is this little girl not nervous at all, she doesn't know how to be afraid?
"Back to Niangniang, the slave and maid brought people." Outside a pavilion, Mama Qi stepped forward to report to the opposite side.
There are curtains hanging around the pavilion, and there are only two palace maids outside, and there are two figures standing and sitting faintly inside.
"Well, call her in." There was a very good voice inside, but Xiaomi listened to it, but it felt cold.
"Miss Xiaomi? Mother ordered you to go in. Seeing that Xiaomi didn't react, Mama Qi hurriedly stepped forward to remind her...... (To be continued)
ps: Thank you for the peace charm from the small yard, good night and good dreams!
