Chapter 154: Gathering in the Palace—Intentionally
The sunlight outside the window shone in through the blue curtain, and Ling'er, who was sleeping, shrank her head into the arms of the people around her, lazy like a docile kitten.
King Heng stretched out his hand and pinched the round little nose of the person in his arms, and pulled the quilt that had been slid to his shoulders again, hugging the lovely person in his arms with his eyes closed and pretended to sleep.
"Why didn't you wake me up, I obviously said that I was going to accompany my uncle today, if it's late, I won't be able to spare you." Ling'er showed her little head from the quilt, and her mouth was slightly upturned and said coquettishly.
"The hour is still early, if it's late, you can punish the king to accompany you for another night, if you can't do it for one night, then it will be a lifetime, what do you think?" King Heng turned his face and gently rubbed Ling'er's face with his beard stubble, and he also learned the scoundrel style of this unruly girl.
"Hehe, what you think is beautiful, if you dare to do anything to be sorry for me, I will change to another man at any time, I will not abide by your Da Zhou's "Female Law" and other intentions to be a chaste martyr, as long as a man is really good to me, I will return it with sincerity, it's as simple as that, but maybe it's a little difficult to do for a prince like you." Ling'er slept soundly, felt unusually good, broke free from King Heng's arms and jumped out of bed, washed up casually in the room, changed clothes neatly, and combed two braids for himself casually and hung them on his chest.
Qingxi and Nuo'er, who had just arrived at the door outside, heard the movement in the room and tried to shout: "Miss, but you are up, and the slave and maid come in to serve?"
Ling'er cleaned up, stepped forward to open the door, turned back to King Heng, who was already dressed, and said, "I'll make some breakfast, you just wait here."
King Heng saw that Ling'er didn't need to be served by her, if she was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, no one would believe it, think about it carefully, when she married into the Hengwang Mansion, she was just doing a show for herself everywhere, and today she is the real her, how much she knows about her, and she is a little confused for a while.
Qingxi came in to clean up the room and took the clothes and other things that the young lady had changed to wash. King Heng couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't your young lady need you to serve you since she came?" She wasn't like that in the past. ”
Qingxi saw King Heng asking, and wanted to help Miss say something good, but for a while she didn't know whether it was good to tell the truth or say that she was as good as an ordinary wealthy lady, but after all, she was not a person who could hide her thoughts too much, "Miss has been doing a lot of things for a long time, she pities Qingxi more, and is afraid that Qingxi will be tired, so Miss said." ”
King Heng was very speechless, the maid was originally to serve the master's diet and daily life, where is there a reason to be afraid that people will be tired and the master will do it himself. But if she cherishes her two handmaidens more than he saw, it seems understandable to explain this way.
Ling'er entered the kitchen, because it was still early, and there was no one in the kitchen at this time, so he glanced at all kinds of vegetables, fruits, meat, and seafood on the cabinet, and said in his heart that this Wang Jiuye is really a senior foodie, and his private kitchen is only more fully stocked than the emperor's imperial dining room. I chose the ingredients I wanted to use, such as shrimp, tenderloin, onion and garlic, yam, eggs, flour and seasonings. Put these on the table, and the big knife on it is all kinds of cutting, chopping, and adjusting. Nuo'er watched from the side and couldn't intervene, and said anxiously: "Miss, it's better to let the slave and maid do all this, you can just go to the side and watch the command."
Ling'er didn't raise her head, and the kitchen knife under her hand chopped was more beautiful than King Heng's jade flute, "You go and boil some millet porridge, and then stew some bird's nest sent by the ninth master a few days ago, and help me and some noodles when you have time." Nuo'er obeyed the order and was busy doing it one by one. The master and servant were so busy that the cooks who got up in the morning and entered the kitchen didn't know what to do when they saw this scene.
After working for more than half an hour, Ling'er looked at her finished products: shrimp crystal dumplings, spring rolls, scallion oil egg cakes, meat and vegetable fried buns, millet porridge, bird's nest porridge, and mixed with sesame oil to make cucumber fungus as side dishes.
"Pick up some of them for my master, senior brother, and Sister Dieyi, and give the bird's nest porridge to Sister Dieyi, and then take some and send them to my room." After Ling'er gave a detailed order, she took Nuo'er back to the room with a hearty breakfast.
King Heng was sitting at the table looking through the various subsets of literature and history that were placed high, which were bought from the used bookstall outside after Ling'er moved in the past few days, and she always had an indescribable strangeness to this big week, so she wanted to read more books to understand the place where she might live for many years.
Nuo'er put down her things, set up the dishes and chopsticks and went out to eat by herself, this is Ling'er's rule, she is generally not allowed to stand with Qingxi to eat with her.
"Your Royal Highness King Heng, come and taste the breakfast I made, is it still to your taste, Princess?" Ling'er proudly stared at King Heng, who was eating all kinds of food on the table, and bent down to bless him.
King Heng got up from the desk to the table, Ling'er had already handed over a bowl of millet porridge, the fragrant rice porridge was very satisfying as the first meal in the morning, and it was much more delicious than the various nourishing meals in the palace every day. After eating the rice porridge, I tried the egg cake and the shrimp crystal dumplings, all of which were delicious things that looked good for the eyes, and before I knew it, a few plates on the table had bottomed out.
"Seeing that the prince is very thin, it turns out that he can eat quite well." Although Ling'er was very happy that the food she made was eaten, she still didn't forget to joke about King Heng.
"The princess made breakfast for the king herself, how can the king live up to his wishes." King Heng put down his chopsticks and ate very satisfied.
"Miss, someone outside came to ask to see you, saying that they are from King Jia's Mansion and want to see you immediately." Qingxi came in to report.
"Hurry up and let him in." Ling'er said busily, wondering in her heart, why did the people from Jiawangfu suddenly come to the door, couldn't it be him?
"In Xiajia Wangfu, the eldest prince visited King Heng and Dr. Ji, and at the order of my father, I specially invited Dr. Ji to my Jiawang Mansion as a guest, and I hope Your Excellency will not dislike it." Seven or eight-year-old Xiaoshu has a clear eye when he speaks, but there is still a milky voice in the emphasis, and with his serious little appearance, it looks very cute.
Ling'er thought about it carefully, it must be the third prince Ning Jiawei Jiawang invited General Bai to come to the mansion for a few days in a row, but the general just arrived in the capital, and the invitations continued everywhere, until today, he took time out, and he missed his niece very much, and the way to do both was to bring Ling'er to the banquet together. So he mentioned his idea to King Jia, and King Jia just wanted to meet this Jianghu girl who was very similar to his imperial sister-in-law, so King Jia's Mansion sent someone to invite him. And this little bit should have taken the initiative to invite Ying to come, otherwise Jiawangfu wouldn't have been able to run his turn to run errands.
"Come and sit down, if I hadn't had breakfast, I'd have a little bit of this." Ling'er still has a good impression of Xiaoshu.
"I know that my aunt loves my nephew." Xiao Shu happily sat down at the table, and unceremoniously took the only two shrimp crystal dumplings left in front of Ling'er in front of him. The two crystal dumplings entered the little guy's stomach in the blink of an eye, and the little tree touched the belly flatteringly and said to King Heng: "Uncle Huang is really blessed, he can eat such a delicious thing every day."
King Heng said indifferently: "This time I took Dr. Ji into the house, you have to pay more attention to everything, if there is a bad pool, next time there will be no left." These words are soft and thorny, but they are not like King Heng's usual style, but it is really inconvenient for him to accompany him, so he has to tell his nephew first.
Ling'er couldn't help but stick out her tongue secretly, how worried she is about herself, since she has a child to take care of me, she really underestimates people.
After eating and drinking, Nuo'er waited for her to clean her hands and put on light makeup again, picked up a few simple hairpin ring jewelry and put them on, so that she felt a little more solemn.
Ling'er looked at herself in the mirror and said with satisfaction: "This is the best, if it is too gorgeous, it will not match my identity at this time." I'm going to go out when I'm done.
King Heng stretched out his hand to hold it, and said with a face full of concern: "Go to the banquet this time and return quickly, if there is anything you don't like, just be patient for the time being, don't be serious with others."
Ling'er knew who King Heng was talking about, but when she mentioned Huahua, she was unhappy, and this unhappiness instantly involved the person in front of her, "I know, old master, it's really verbose." I wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that King Heng was already full of worry, he finally couldn't help but say nothing.
Xiaoshu was waiting outside in a hurry, and when he saw Ling'er coming out, the two of them went out talking and laughing.
"Auntie, I'll show you a good show today, you have to help your nephew then, my father who hooked up with the fox spirit hasn't visited his mother for many days, and my nephew is sad when he looks at his mother, and he has long wanted to teach her a lesson." The small trees walk along the way.
"I know that your little thing won't run this trip in vain, but Aunt Naturally won't sit idly by and watch the things that punish evil and promote good, who will make you Aunt and I be helpful." Ling'er thought that she would be able to teach that Huahua a good lesson today, and she couldn't help but look forward to it inexplicably, and the more she looked at the little tree, the more she liked it.
Xiao Shu invited the famous Monsoon Doctor to the mansion, and coquettishly went to his father to ask for a reward, King Jia was very happy, but he didn't expect that his prince was already an adult, and he was so neat at a young age, and he was happy to reward him with a good bow and arrow. General Bai and Ling'er helped to say a lot of praises on the side, and the guest of honor talked very happily.
"It's rare that Dr. Ji is very similar to my deceased imperial sister-in-law, if you can continue your relationship, but my imperial brother's blessing, his love for the former little princess is known to everyone." King Jia asked knowingly, pretending to match the two.
Ling'er smiled faintly, and did not shirk, "King Heng has good character and knowledge, and there are many rumors among the people, but fate is a casual thing, and it is reluctant to come, so it is not extravagant." ”
"If you don't ask for extravagance, does it mean that Dr. Ji is already the king of Xu Heng?" Bai Dashan said beside him, and then a hearty laugh sounded, Ling'er lowered her brows and made a little daughter, but she secretly complained in her heart, this pretentious feeling is not so pleasant.
