Chapter 50: The Stingy King
After a few dishes were brought out, the colors were bright and the taste was attractive, Baili Xiwei was not polite, and tasted it directly, Gu Changfeng and Zhang were a little surprised on the side, how could Gu's cooking skills be so good?
Gu was a little confident in her cooking skills, but she still didn't expect Cheng DΓΉ, who Baili Xiwei liked so much.
The reason why I didn't expect it, but Baili Xi ate quite devotedly, although her demeanor was very elegant, but the amount of food was amazing, except for Yang Yang's hand, the rest of the honey she made was eaten by her in small bites.
The rest of the dishes, everyone didn't have time to introduce, they had already been eaten by the focused Baili Xiwei, and finally looked at Gu with innocent eyes.
"Is there any good tea? Got my sister? β
Gu felt that Baili Xiwei was really cute, so he smiled and said, "Is honey grapefruit tea okay?" β
"Honey grapefruit? What is that? Bai Li Xi wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and tilted his head to look at Gu.
"It's sweet and sour, and it can be cleared of the fire and the oil." Gu got up and went to get the honey grapefruit that had been soaked some time ago.
When I brewed osmanthus honey before, I peeled the pomelo at home by the way, and only used the particles inside, each one was very full, and there was a fragrant grapefruit flavor as soon as I opened the jar.
The warm mountain spring water was brewed out, and then filled with a jade teacup, and after Baili Xi took a sip, he felt very fresh.
Baili Xiwei and Yang Yang planned to leave after eating, the purpose of their visit this time was to protect Gu, and now that the matter is settled, they will also go back to pay off.
Gu took out a white jade jar, she still remembered that Yang Yang said last time that Baili Muyan was weak, he was prone to coughing in the exchange of seasons, and the honey grapefruit was sweet and sour, he should like it: "Help me bring this to the prince." β
Baili Xi waved his hand slightly: "Brother Huang, he has a habit of cleanliness, everything is for him alone, clothes are not allowed to be touched by others, rooms are not allowed to be entered, not to mention the food given by others, although you are very good at cooking, but Brother Huang will not eat, he is very picky." β
Yang Yang directly took the white jade jar: "There is Miss Lao Gu, let's go first." β
Before Baili Xiwei could understand what was going on, he was taken out by Yang Yang.
Baili Xiwei and Yang Yang grew up together, although the two have some different identities, but they have a good relationship, when she was a child, several royal brothers didn't play with her much, so she often stayed with Yang Yang.
"What are you doing? The royal brother has a habit of cleanliness, can't this be said? Bai Lixi frowned slightly.
"When the prince met Miss Gu, many things have become more different, so ......" Yang Yang is not easy to explain, it can't be said that Miss Gu has kissed the prince, and the prince has also eaten the dishes that Miss Gu used chopsticks to clip!
The two came to Muwang's Mansion and told him about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Yang left, leaving Baili Xiwei, and Baili Muyan's face did not change in particular after hearing this, and he was still cold.
Baili Xi was a little strange, didn't Yang Yang's words say that the imperial brother cared about Gu very much? Was it a lie to her?
"Brother Huang, why did Gu prepare honey grapefruit tea for you, how can she remember your cough and like sweet and sour things? Do you sue him? β
A hint of surprise slipped in Baili Muyan's eyes, it was just Yang Yang's casual remark at that time, and she actually remembered.
"She's a careful person, not like you."
Baili Xiwei held the white jade jar in his arms: "Brother Huang! It's hard to have friends when you talk like that! I'm going to take this tea with me! β
"You dare?" Baili Muyan glanced sideways at Baili Xiwei, full of disdain.
Baili Xi is slightly like a deflated balloon, she really doesn't dare, messing with Baili Muyan's things, the result will be very miserable, when she was a child, she once ran to Baili Muyan's room, but she rolled on his bed, and was thrown out directly by him, and her buttocks were swollen.
"Hey, Gu Li's cooking skills are so good, I ate all the dishes I made today." Baili Xi stretched out his hand slightly to support his chin and pouted and recalled.
"You're welcome." Baili Muyan said as she pulled away the white jade jar in her hand.
"You asked me to eat, you don't know the amount of food I eat, Brother Huang, it's the emperor's birthday soon, or I recommend Gu to the past? So you can eat the food she cooks. Baili Xi grabbed Baili Muyan's arm with a slight excitement.
"No."
"Why!"
"There is no reason, you don't have to bother with the things that are taken care of."
Baili Muyan directly interrupted Baili Xiwei's thoughts, he knew that Baili Xiwei was kind, but Gu Li's personality was simple, and things in the palace were not so simple, intrigue, fighting for power and profit, these were not what Gu was good at, he didn't want her to fall into such a predicament.
Thinking of Gu Gu's situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai Limu's brows furrowed together.
Baili Xi saw that his face had changed badly, and he found a reason to leave very interestingly.
Baili Muyan beckoned the housekeeper to come over, brewed him a cup of honey grapefruit tea, smelled the fragrance wafting from the jade cup, Baili Muyan took out a small bamboo tube and handed it to the housekeeper.
"Send it out."
"Yes, lord." The housekeeper took the bamboo pipe and went to the pigeon loft in the backyard, found a pigeon with a gray tail feather, put the secret letter and released the pigeon.
Gu Changfeng was forced by external forces to invite a doctor for Yutan, Gu looked at the seriously injured Yutan, and was very angry in his heart, although Baili Xiwei exposed Gu Yiyi's hypocrisy today, but these are not enough, they dare to beat people so arrogantly today, naturally there will be a way to calculate her.
So she must have her own way out, and the Xiangfu is not only not her reliance, but her threat.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer, the prime minister used her biological mother's dowry to live a fine food and clothing every day, but they all regarded her as a thorn in the side, the coolest of the heart.
Wait, even if the mother's dowry was very generous at the beginning, but the expenses of the Xiangfu are not ordinary families, just Gu Yiyi's monthly clothes and cosmetics cost ten taels of silver, and the ingredients she used in the kitchen are all of the highest quality, and many of them are only available in other seasons.
From this point of view, Gu Changfeng's source of income must be boring!
She must also have the weakness of the Prime Minister's Mansion in her hands, otherwise she will only be coerced by them in the future.
After the doctor showed Yutan, he prescribed a prescription, and he didn't worry about others getting the medicine, so he took the silver and went to the pharmacy by himself, and chose the best medicinal materials, did they think she had no money? Hmph, from now on, she won't rely on the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Of course, it is natural to take advantage of the advantages, for example, the kitchen of the Prime Minister's House.
Since the prescriptions were all done by Gu himself, Yutan's body quickly recovered, and Gu Yiyi had a heavy hand at that time, but they were all flesh wounds, and they did not hurt the muscles and bones, but such a thing was unbearable.
Since the last time Baili Xiwei exposed those lies, Gu Yiyi has been in her yard all the time, and she doesn't go out, saying that she is taking care of her body, Gu Changfeng did not snub Gu Yiyi because of her words that day, but went to visit their mother and daughter more diligently.
