Chapter Ninety-One: Cooking
It was really embarrassing to be bumped into at this time, Xiao Wanyan frowned, and wanted to leave this place quickly, only to hear Fu Minmin say: "It's not inconvenient, Madame come in and sit." ”
Xiao Wanyan turned around in surprise and looked at Fu Minmin's pale face: "It's still not necessary, wait for the next time the county lord of Anping is convenient for us to visit." ”
She walked away from Fu Minmin's side quickly, but before she could walk out, Fu Minmin said again: "Madame, don't you want to know about the prime minister?" ”
Of course she wanted to know about Chu Huairan, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side would not be defeated in a hundred battles, she hesitated and thought for a while or decided to listen to Fu Minmin's words.
Xiao Wanyan walked into the house, sat next to Fu Minmin, and drank tea with a teacup to hide the embarrassing atmosphere, she inadvertently swept Fu Minmin's plain face, and was stunned when she met her eyes, and immediately looked away.
She coughed twice, immediately put down the teacup, paused, and said, "What does the county lord of Anping want to say to me?" ”
Fu Minmin said slowly: "It's nothing, but the prime minister has always been in love, and I haven't heard of him taking the initiative to provoke other women, even if the princess is in the mansion, he hasn't taken a second look, I just want to persuade Mrs. not to get hot and enter the wrong door." ”
Chu Huairan's love for the original wife Xiao Wanyan had heard about it a long time ago, and she naturally knew that Fu Minmin and the original wife were friends, she smiled slightly: "I have heard of these for a long time, thank you for telling the county lord." ”
Xiao Wanyan's indifference made Fu Minmin dumbfounded, she swept Xiao Wanyan's eyes, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, I don't have anything else to say, but I still hope that Mrs. will keep it a secret for me just now." ”
After all, it's not a glorious thing, Fu Minmin still wants to save the last face, Xiao Wanyan is clear, she pretended to be dazed and said, "What did the county lord say?" I don't understand. ”
"Well, it's nothing, Madame is a smart person, we should be able to talk very well, if Madame is usually bored, just come to me." Fu Minmin smiled back, how long has it been, she has forgotten the true feeling of laughing, she just tugged at the corners of her mouth stiffly, and then recovered her look.
Xiao Wanyan didn't stay too long, when she was walking on the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she encountered Yuyan, Yuyan directly stopped her and pulled her to a corner, she followed Yuyan's footsteps forward, and a white dress appeared in her field of vision, as if it was an extremely familiar picture in her mind, it flashed suddenly, she looked at the warm face, smiled, and threw herself directly into Qi Jiuchen's arms, calling softly
"Lord Wang. ”
This is the moment when she misses Qi Jiuchen the most in so long, she has been staying in the palace in the past and has not felt any lovesickness, but since she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, the mansion is no longer a familiar person to her, and she misses Qi Jiuchen even more.
Qi Jiuchen hugged Xiao Wanyan with a smile on his face, raised his hand and gently poked Xiao Wanyan's forehead: "Do you miss this king?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Wanyan did not spare her feelings of missing at all, she had never missed him so deeply, but when she snuggled in Qi Jiuchen's arms, she felt familiar, but she was a little strange, and she wanted to push him away for no reason.
Seeing Xiao Wanyan's stunned expression, Qi Jiuchen smiled and shook her face: "Is the prime minister embarrassed you?" ”
Xiao Wanyan shook her head and said: "He didn't embarrass me, and he really seemed to treat me as his wife, and he ate with me every day, except for not sleeping with me at night, there was nothing strange about it." ”
Qi Jiuchen nodded clearly, now that he has safely put his eyeliner by Chu Huairan's side, it will be his turn to fight back, Chu Huairan is against him in everything, he must not give up this great opportunity.
Qi Jiuchen touched Xiao Wanyan's head, and said softly: "Chu Huairan has a heavy heart, you must be careful not to fall into his way, and while he does not suspect you now, you must start as soon as possible and return to my side." ”
Xiao Wanyan naturally understood Qi Jiuchen's concerns: "I understand, when I take revenge, we can be together." ”
Xiao Wanyan didn't dare to spend too much time outside, she knew that Han Yi had been secretly spying on her, and if she left his sight for too long, it would definitely arouse Chu Huairan's suspicions.
She said a few sweet words to Qi Jiuchen, and hurriedly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, before entering the mansion, and when she entered the hall, she saw Chu Huairan and Yu Chiyan talking in the hall. ”
Xiao Wanqing, this woman Chu Huairan really didn't like it, I can't say why, but I felt that this woman was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, just like Xiao Wanyan, and he didn't expect that the person who assassinated the Empress of Daliang that day was actually his wife.
Until now, he hadn't told Wei Chiyan the truth, he didn't want more people to know about it, and Xiao Wanqing and Xiao Wanyan were sisters, if Xiao Wanqing didn't know anything about it, he would definitely not believe it.
"Wei Chi, fate in the world is destined by heaven, the twisted melon is not sweet, and if you can't ask for it, change it again, why are you obsessed with Xiao Wanqing alone."
Wei Chiyan made a bitter face: "Brother Huairan, do you think she doesn't want to meet me because she thinks I'm a reckless man and is tired of dancing knives and guns." ”
Wei Chiyan was immersed in his own world, and he couldn't listen to Chu Huairan's words at all, seeing this, Chu Huairan had to listen to him complain, his eyes drifted out, and when he saw Xiao Wanyan planning to leave the door of the hall without a sound, he immediately got up, strode over, grabbed Xiao Wanyan's arm and said, "Madam, where are you going?" Why didn't you call me to come with you? ”
Xiao Wanyan was stunned, she didn't expect Chu Huairan to wait for her in the hall.
"Uh...... I just went out for a walk, and I met with the lord of Anping County before, and I felt that I was very close to her, and I talked to her when I had nothing to do. ”
Xiao Wanyan pulled Fu Minmin out as a shield, and when she saw that Chu Huairan didn't have any suspicions, she breathed a sigh of relief: "If Xiangye is fine, I will go back." ”
Chu Huairan didn't let go, but pulled her into the hall and introduced her: "Wanyan, you have amnesia now, there are some things that no one can remember, I think it is necessary to help you recall, otherwise, I feel that it is very unfair to you to live in a world without memories all the time." ”
If there were so many rumors about Chu Huairan's ruthlessness before, at this moment, she would definitely be deceived by Chu Huairan's tenderness.
However, in order not to arouse Chu Huairan's suspicion, she had to be a docile little sheep and not have a head-on conflict with Chu Huairan.
"Wei Chi, you all said that Wanyan was dead before, look, she's not alive and well." Chu Huairan raised the corners of his mouth, smiling happily, like a child a few years old, Wei Chiyan saw it and said in a harmonious voice: "Madame is really fateful, she is intact when she falls from such a high cliff." ”
Xiao Wanyan clenched her heart and said slowly: "I don't know what happened, when I woke up, I didn't remember anything, if the prime minister hadn't told me, I would have been in the dark." ”
Chu Huairan's soft smile made Xiao Wanyan's eyes dazzled, she eased her senses, and exchanged a few words with Wei Chiyan, wanting to find an excuse to leave, but she didn't want Chu Huairan to propose: "Madam, Wei Chi hasn't been here for a long time, why don't you let us try your craftsmanship tonight?" ”
Cook? Xiao Wanyan thought about it and agreed: "No problem, since Xiangye said it, I'll prepare." ”
But when Xiao Wanyan entered the kitchen, she messed up, where would she cook, usually in the palace, Qi Jiuchen was reluctant to let her cook, she walked to the stove, touched the kitchen knife, touched the vegetables, and asked Xiaolian behind her: "Xiaolian, do you know how to cook?" ”
Xiaolian immediately shook her head: "The slaves and maids used to do some rough work in the backyard, where can there be such delicate work, and the masters are very tricky, they must not be used to what we do." ”
It's over, I just boasted about Haikou, but now I can't do anything, do you want to serve the plate directly for them to gnaw on in a while? Xiao Wanyan hurriedly laughed and told Xiaolian: "You go to Zuixianlou to buy some vegetables and come back, pay attention to those simple dishes, and don't let others find out when you come back." ”
Xiaolian nodded again and again, and tiptoed out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xiao Wanyan was in a hurry in the back kitchen, she had no impression of cooking in her mind, and she was afraid that Chu Huairan would suddenly attack the back kitchen to see, so she had to burn the stove, put water on it, and pretend.
It didn't take long for Xiaolian to finally come back, she quickly put the dishes back to the pot, as if she had made them herself, when she brought the dishes to the table one by one, Yu Chiyan's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "You made this all by you?" ”
Xiao Wanyan raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly: "Naturally, I did it, how about you taste it." ”
Wei Chiyan looked at a few black impurities floating in the pale soup, and swallowed his saliva: "This is?" ”
Xiao Wanyan looked at the fish that was returned to the pot by her, and explained: "This dish is called charcoal roasted fish soup, although it doesn't look very good, but it tastes good." ”
Chu Huairan picked up the chopsticks and poked the fish's body tentatively, picked out a small piece of fish meat, looked at its scorched tiger appearance, and still didn't want to put it in his mouth: "I don't like to eat fish, I don't have to do it in the future." ”
Xiao Wanyan glanced at him helplessly, "oh", and continued to introduce the next dish: "This dish is called spicy stir-fried beef tenderloin." ”
This is also processed by Xiao Wanyan, except for more chili peppers, the rest is nothing special, Wei Chi picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, his face changed instantly, and he took a sip of water, who knew that his mouth was even hotter, he choked and coughed, and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes: "Why is it so spicy?" ”
Xiao Wanyan glanced at it: "I forgot to tell you, this is the pepper water I specially prepared, which is used to relieve greasy." ”
Yu Chi Yanjue's Xiao Wanyan came to torture him, and he kept gasping, so much so that Chu Huairan's chopsticks were put back on the table: "I suddenly remembered that there are still some things with Yu Chi, you eat slowly, and I will come back later." ”
Looking at the backs of Chu Huairan and Wei Chiyan leaving in a hurry, Xiao Wanyan's color couldn't help but darken, and she thought to herself, "Could it be that he found out that I poisoned the dish?" ”
