Chapter Seventy-One
83_83499 "Xilu, what's going on?" Princess Haoyu leaned down in the sedan chair, rubbing her sore forehead with her arms and shouting.
Hearing Princess Yunyu's shout, Xilu, who had fallen to the ground just now because of the sudden tilt of the sedan chair, hurriedly got up from the ground, rubbed her knees and stumbled forward to open the sedan curtain, "Princess, someone suddenly bumped into it from above, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, who is so rude?" Princess Yuyu asked sharply with a frown.
Du Qiyue was also startled when he saw the sedan chair that hit someone else, but he had seen some big scenes, and he didn't kneel directly on the ground like Qiu'er Damao. He calmly picked up the silver ball on the ground and stuffed it into his sleeve, then knelt on the ground, and after making a big salute respectfully, he clasped his hands and lowered his head and responded: "Du Qiyue, the grass man of Qinan County, came to Dadu to participate in the kitchen competition, just now because he had to pick up the things that fell, he really didn't want to offend Her Royal Highness the princess, and asked Her Royal Highness not to remember the villain, and went around the subordinates and the slaves." ”
Although today's accident was not Xilu's fault, she couldn't escape from it, and she didn't know what punishment she would suffer after she went back, so she was very angry when she heard Du Qiyue's words, and after she was sure that Princess Yunyu was not injured, she angrily pointed at Du Qiyue and shouted: "A little cook, dare to intercede with the princess, come on, quickly tie up these three people!" ”
A few subordinates who followed hurriedly surrounded them, and when they were about to catch Du Qiyue and the others, they heard Princess Haoyu shouting: "Slow, don't arrest them!" ”
"Princess, they are so reckless and offended you, why do you want to let them go, the slave was scared to death just now." Xilu patted her chest and felt palpitations, this time fortunately the sedan chair did not turn over, if she did, she would not want to live through tomorrow.
Princess Haoyu was very excited at the moment, she was sure that what she heard just now was the three words Du Qiyue, this is her son's name!
"Don't speak." She raised her hand to stop Xilu from continuing, then leaned over to look at Du Qiyue, who was kneeling with her head buried, and said softly: "You raise your head and tell me again, what is your name and where did you come from?" ”
Du Qiyue was already ready to accept the punishment, but who would have thought that instead of punishing him, Princess Yunyu asked his name and origin in a gentle tone. Du Qiyue was a little confused, raised his head suspiciously, and replied: "Princess Hui, the grass people's name is Du Qiyue, from Qinan County. ”
Princess Haoyu was already stunned at this time, just seeing Du Qiyue's appearance, she could be sure that the child kneeling in front of her was the son she had been thinking about for sixteen years, because Du Qiyue's appearance was too familiar to her.
It is said that the nephew is like an uncle, Du Qiyue's figure and facial contours are very similar to Ju Yanyang when he was young, and his eyebrows and eyes are the same as Qi Qi's, looking at Du Qiyue's eyes, Princess Yunyu can't help but think of Qi Que back then. When she first saw Qi Que in the Imperial Garden, he also inadvertently offended her, and Qi Que apologized to her at that time, and looked at her with such eyes.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Xilu saw Princess Haoyu looking at Du Qiyue with a nostalgic look, and her heart suddenly became worried, she had seen this kind of look more than once, and every time Princess Xunyu held an old fan, she would show this kind of uneasy look.
Princess Haoyu immediately woke up from her memories, saw Du Qiyue still kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly said: "This kid looks good-looking, get up quickly, this corner is already blocking the view, it's normal if you don't see us coming, don't blame you, get up quickly, don't kneel." ”
Du Qiyue glanced at Princess Haoyu in surprise, she didn't expect Princess Haoyu to talk to him so gently and kindly.
On the way to Dadu, Qiu'er told Du Qiyue some things about the nobles in the palace, and this princess, the emperor's precious sister, Princess Xunyu, was also among them, in those things, the princess's character has always been described as very arrogant and arrogant, and she has never been merciful to the palace people who make mistakes, so Du Qiyue was nervous when she knew that they hit her just now, who knew that the real person was not at all different from the rumors.
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!" Although it was strange in his heart, Du Qiyue did not delay in the slightest in his actions, and immediately stood up after quickly thanking him. If he could, Du Qiyue didn't want to kneel at all, this way of saluting was really difficult for him to accept.
After Du Qiyue stood up, she looked even more dignified, Princess Yunyu looked at him and felt sad and relieved, she really wanted to immediately take the child who had been separated from her for sixteen years into her arms, but she couldn't do anything. Suppressing the sad feelings in her heart, Princess Yunyu beckoned to Du Qiyue, "Come here, did you fall just now?" ”
Du Qiyue cautiously took a few steps forward, shook his head and said, "Back to the princess, the grass people didn't fall." ”
Seeing Du Qiyue's cautious appearance, Princess Yunyu felt a little sad and said, "Come over a little more." Don't be afraid, come and talk to me. I have also been to Qinan County before, I remember that the people there are good at raising mulberry and weaving, and now it has been many years, I don't know what Qinan County has become, would you like to talk to me? ”
Even if he didn't want to, Du Qiyue didn't dare to say no, so he took a few steps forward, arrived in front of the sedan chair, and replied with his head half-bowed: "Back to the princess, the grass people only know the situation in the grass people's hometown, and as for the situation in other parts of Qinan County, the grass people don't know. ”
"It's okay, just tell me about the situation in your hometown, I'm willing to listen." Princess Haoyu smiled and winked at Xilu.
Xilu felt very inexplicable at Princess Haoyu's behavior, but she still obediently got off the sedan chair, and then invited Du Qiyue to the sedan chair.
Princess Xunyu's sedan chair is a large sedan chair carried by eight people, which is very spacious and can sit down five or six people, Du Qiyue walked in but was a little at a loss, he must not be able to sit on an equal footing with the princess of a country, but kneeling in the sedan chair is a little too strange, this swaying, how to kneel.
However, Princess Yunyu didn't seem to mind Du Qiyue's overstepping, and pointed to the soft stool very approachably and said, "Sit down, don't be restrained." ”
Du Qiyue nodded, carefully sat on the stool with half of his buttocks, and then he adjusted his sitting posture, straightened his waist and half-bowed his head, allowing himself to try to maintain a posture that looked respectful but not humble. Only then did he stare at the bottom of the sedan chair and ask respectfully, "May I ask the princess what she wants to know about the situation in Qinan County?" ”
Princess Yunyu didn't care about what Qi Nan County looked like, the only thing she cared about was Du Qiyue's situation, but unfortunately she couldn't recognize Du Qiyue now, so she asked like a gossip: "Where is your hometown in Qi Nan County?" ”
"Back to the princess, the grass people's hometown is in Dahu Town, Qinan County."
Princess Yunyu heard that Du Qiyue had to bring a sentence of "princess Hui" every time she said a word, and she had always called herself a grass people, so she felt a little sad, so she said: "You are as old as my son and nephew, just when I am your elder, you don't need to be restrained when you speak, and you don't need to call yourself a grass people, just use you and me." ”
"Princess Xie." Du Qiyue immediately thanked him, in fact, he felt quite twisted when he spoke like this, he was afraid that he would say something wrong just now.
Princess Yunyu smiled and said, "Good boy, can I call you Xiaoyue?" I see that you are polite and polite, you don't look like a chef, you are really here to participate in the cooking competition? ”
Du Qiyue nodded: "Well, I used to read books and became a chef later." ”
"How many years have you been reading? How can you be a cook" Princess Yunyu heard Du Qiyue say that she had read, and she was somewhat relieved, Qi Que was a famous genius back then, if his only son had not read, then he probably wouldn't be at ease underground.
"I opened Mongolia when I was four years old and studied for 12 years. Later, something happened at home, I couldn't go to school for a while, and I had some financial difficulties, so I became a chef because of my skills in making dim sum. Du Qiyue replied.
As soon as Princess Haoyu heard Du Qiyue say that something had happened at home, she became worried and immediately asked, "What happened?" ”
Du Qiyue didn't want to make things in her family as clear as others said, after all, it was not a good thing, but Princess Haoyu asked like this, and Du Qiyue had no reason to hide it, so she said: "My father and Momo died of illness one after another, and I want to keep filial piety, so I can't study for the time being." ”
As soon as Du Qiyue said this, before Princess Haoyu contacted Du Qiyue, she said that her family was in some financial difficulties, and she thought a little too much. As a princess of a country, she has never really come into contact with the lives of ordinary people, but she has also heard some things from the people around her before she was sold, often because the poor family is not fed and clothed, and she can't live happily, so she has to sell her children to people. At this time, Princess Xunyu also thought of Du Qiyue's life as the kind of poor and poor family with four walls, and thought that Du Qiyue had to give up her studies to become a cook because of this, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, and couldn't help but reach out and hold Du Qiyue's hand on her lap.
Feeling Princess Haoyu's warm and soft skin, Du Qiyue was startled and wanted to withdraw her hand, but suddenly heard Princess Xunyu say, "Are you willing to come to my mansion?" ”
"Huh?" Du Qiyue's eyes widened in surprise, she didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to this, why she suddenly invited him to the princess's mansion, what was this princess thinking!
