Chapter 113: Princess Baoshou is a guest
Ru Xuan is an extremely stable person in the end, and she is even more careful and thoughtful in her work, but this Qiu Ling has not been doing anything right all day long, which is very worrying.
"Qiuling, don't just play around, Princess Baoshou has arrived?" Pan Xia looked at Qiu Ling's stubborn face, and asked angrily as if she didn't care about business at all.
"When I arrived, I was talking to the beauty in the house, and the tea was also delivered, but it was not too early for the beauty to see it, so I was sent to the small kitchen to see if the meal was ready." Qiu Ling replied nonchalantly, her whole mind on the unfinished dumplings in her hand.
For Qiu Ling, a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, Pan Xia is completely speechless, and he can't count on her to help at all.
In desperation, Panxia had no choice but to greet Ru Xuan, who had been busy all morning, and began to eat, and by the way, told Pingchun to take care of the fire on the stove, remember to add firewood, and let Qiuling help cook dumplings.
There are a lot of dishes today, except for the four dishes and one soup sent by the Shang Food Bureau, plus the two dishes that have just been fried in the small kitchen, there are enough six large plates, and they are all sent over at once, which is really hard.
Fortunately, the Chunhui Hall is not big, and the small kitchen is close to the beauty's room, through a small garden, and then through a corridor, you can get there.
Therefore, it didn't take a long time for Pan Xia and Ru Xuan to neatly place their lunch in the warm pavilion next to the inner room.
After packing up, Pan Xia picked up the curtain, walked into the inner room, and saluted Shang Meiren and Princess Baoshou, and said, "Princess, beauty, lunch has been prepared, but now do you want to use it?" ”
Shang Meiren and Princess Baoshou chatted casually, the two had similar interests, and the content of the chat was also about historical books, anecdotes, words, paintings, etc., and now after most of the day, they all felt a little hungry.
"A few of them made dumplings in the small kitchen today, why don't the princess try them?" Shang Meiren closed the book in her hand and smiled.
"As soon as the beauty said it, I felt a little hungry, so let's eat first." Princess Baoshou replied with a smile, and her eyes became crescent-shaped.
Pan Xia opened the curtain for the two of them and welcomed Shang Meiren and Princess Baoshou into the warm pavilion.
As soon as he raised his eyelids, he saw Princess Baoshou who was smiling at close range, walking hand in hand with Shang Meiren, and talking intimately, Pan Xia suddenly lost his mind.
Princess Baoshou is not beautiful, but she is above the middle-aged, but the whole person has clear eyebrows, fair skin, quite a sense of small jasper, plus a palace dress embroidered with small flowers, which makes people shine.
It's just that the eyebrows and eyes have an indescribable sense of familiarity.
But for a while, I couldn't remember where this familiarity came from.
Just when Panxia was in a flash, Shang Meiren and Princess Baoshou had already sat down in the warm pavilion, and Ru Xuan and Ning Xiang beside Princess Baoshou stood aside to prepare cloth dishes.
"Aren't the dumplings ready yet?" Shang Meiren glanced at the table with a pair of beautiful eyes, but did not find the dumplings, and asked.
"The dumplings are still boiling on the stove, and they will be ready right away." Pan Xia put down the curtain and replied with a smile: "In addition to the regular dishes of the Shang Food Bureau today, Ru Xuan specially made two peasant dishes for the beauty and the princess to try. ”
Ru Xuan understood, took bamboo chopsticks to prepare dishes for Princess Baoshou and Shang Meiren, and introduced: "This is bamboo shoot slices, this is mushroom fried meat, they are all some home-cooked side dishes, which are not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, but they are also fragrant and delicious." ”
Princess Baoshou took a piece of bamboo shoots and put it in her mouth, and when she bit it gently, she felt that the fragrance of bamboo shoots filled her lips, and the taste was even more crispy and refreshing.
"Ru Xuan's craftsmanship is good, these bamboo shoots are delicious and tight." Princess Baoshou raised her eyes and glanced at Ru Xuan and said approvingly.
When I met Ru Xuan that day, in addition to thinking that she was enthusiastic, there was nothing special, and today I found that she had such a craft, and I immediately looked up to Ru Xuan a few points.
Ru Xuan was complimented, and she also laughed, and said modestly: "The princess praised it falsely." ”
Shang Meiren tasted another dish, although she felt that the taste was not rich enough, but the taste was smooth, the taste was simple, and it was surprisingly comfortable to eat, and said with a smile: "I don't know when Ru Xuan has such a skill, is it that if the princess doesn't come today, you don't plan to show your skills?" ”
When Princess Baoshou heard this, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled.
Ru Xuan blushed suddenly, twisted her body and said: "How can there be such a thing, if the beauty does not dislike it, she will make it for the beauty every day in the future." ”
"Okay, I'll make a note of this, you can't go back." Shang Meiren smiled and beckoned Princess Baoshou to continue eating.
Everyone laughed, the master and servant were harmonious, but they were also happy.
Princess Baoshou looked at Shang Meiren, Pan Xia, Ru Xuan and others, and smiled, but there was a little bitterness in this smile.
She is a princess and has enjoyed such a title since she was a child, but unfortunately this title is empty.
I have never seen the face of my so-called father, and the first time I knew what my father looked like, I also learned from a portrait of my father when he was alive.
She has never enjoyed her father's doting and love, and although she has always been accompanied by her mother, somehow, she always feels that her mother is so far away from her, out of reach.
Concubine Wan is both careful and gentle, and takes care of her even more intimately, for fear of a little mistake or inappropriateness, she does everything she drinks and eats by herself, and never lets others replace her.
Despite this, Princess Baoshou still didn't feel enthusiastic about this mother, and always felt that something was not right, but she could never find the reason.
In addition, perhaps because she has been kept outside the palace and is not valued by the emperor, Concubine Wan's face always has a touch of sorrow, and her eyes are always meaningful and uncomfortable.
Therefore, Princess Baoshou is always far away from her and does not dare to get too close to her.
I have never seen my father, my relationship with my mother is a little estranged, and the maids around me are always submissive, Princess Baoshou seems to have lacked the innocence of a child, the lack of liveliness, and the lack of laughter.
It is also because of the lack of these things that Princess Baoshou has a desire for emotion that is different from others.
It's just that the more eager she is, the more she feels that Princess Baoshou is out of reach.
The beauty in front of her and the maids around her are like sisters, laughing and playing, which is really enviable and eye-catching.
I heard that Shang Meiren is the only daughter in the family, and her parents are like pearls in the palm of their hands, and I am afraid that when they are at home, Shang Meiren can stick to their parents and have sex to their heart's content.
Thinking of this, Princess Baoshou's expression darkened, and her eyes were obscure.
Here in the kitchen, the dumplings have been cooked, served in a white blue and white plate, and the crystal plate is put with dipping sauce, which is brought up by Qiu Ling.
"The princess tasted it, they were busy all morning, and they specially prepared it for the princess." Shang Meiren personally sandwiched a dumpling and sent it to Princess Baoshou's plate. R1152
