Chapter 56 Rock Sugar Bird's Nest
The prince has always wondered what kind of dim sum is contained in the delicate porcelain bowls on the table in the front row, whether it is like the peach fairy brew in the heavenly palace as those people say, which makes people have endless aftertaste. He secretly walked to the position of the county lord of Yufei, picked up a few pieces of pastry in his hand and threw them into his mouth, but he didn't expect that he was too nervous and greedy, and he couldn't chew it at once, so he choked. He panicked, didn't pay attention to his sleeve, and accidentally knocked over the porcelain bowl on the table, but fortunately, he was quick to catch the bowl before it slid to the corner of the table, put it back in place, and wiped the spilled around it with his sleeve. This startle made him calm down, swallowed the pastry, and he immediately returned to his position, not daring to take half a step.
Everyone grinned and returned to their positions, and just after a few gossips, they heard the county lord of Yufei exclaim, "Hey, why is the rock sugar bird's nest gone?" ”
"Yu Fei likes it, then take another one." The Queen Mother said to her lovingly.
"No, I just took a sip, and it's gone."
The Queen Mother suddenly raised her eyes, and her sharp gaze swept to his face, "You have been here just now, do you know what's going on?" He was rarely worried about the Queen Mother, and he was so flustered that he forgot what he had just done, stood up, raised his hand and planned to reply.
With a shake of the sleeves, the stains on the cuffs of the rock sugar bird's nest are naturally real. The Queen Mother slapped the table violently, "Bastard thing, you dare to be angry with Yufei's things." ”
He fell to his knees with a thud, and before he could defend anything, he heard the Queen Mother say again, "That kind of vulgar person really can't give birth to anything good." ”
Suddenly he didn't want to say anything, it was in vain to struggle, since he was a child, he suffered too much shame and grievances, and he didn't care about this one.
When he was carried out by the guards, at the last glance, he saw Kang Yufei leaning against the Queen Mother, muttering something in her mouth, and the Queen Mother patted her head caressingly......
These should be the grace of the prince of a country, why did they give such a little girl with a foreign surname. He didn't understand and was even more unconvinced.
What makes him even worse is that this little girl is still annoying, and in the next few days, he begged to see him at the gate of his East Palace every day. Naturally, he didn't want to see it, and he couldn't see it. After being taken down that day, he was flogged, and the steel whip with the wire fell fiercely behind him, a full twelve lashes, enough to make his back flesh open. Now, he is lying on the bed, unable to move at all, and can only keep deducing with various reasons.
But this girl has a more stubborn temper than him, and she still comes every day, and she doesn't seem to give up without seeing him.
Because he was afraid that the Queen Mother would ask about this, the wound had just healed, so he straightened his waist and reluctantly walked to the door of the East Palace Lotus Heart Courtyard and saw her.
She walked from afar, smiling on her face. That laughter, unlike those who mock him all day long, is like a spring breeze like summer rain, giving people a sense of pleasure in tenderness. It soothed the boredom in his heart at once. She wore a pink dress, her hair was simply curled a few times at the back of her head, and there was no beaded jewelry, only beads of sweat hanging from the corners of her forehead as decorations. The most simple and natural appearance, for some reason, made his heart tremble, and he couldn't help but sigh, no wonder everyone likes her, it turns out that she is so cute and good-looking.
"I was confused that day, but I just spilled a bowl of sugar water and yelled in front of everyone, causing the prince to be reprimanded by the imperial grandmother, which was really wrong."
She spoke so well, and in a trance she made him forget the pain on his back, "It's okay......
"I wanted to make amends to the prince, but I didn't know what to do......" she smiled.
"No, no, it's not a big deal." He didn't dare to ask for anything, and if he didn't mention it, it would be a reparation for him.
"The prince is cute and sweet? I've just learned a few dim sum, why don't you make them for the prince? ”
He was a little dazed, thinking that this was the first time someone said that someone wanted to cook something for him to eat, which surprised him and made him feel shy, he quickly shook his head, "Don't be so troublesome......
"No trouble, no trouble, wait for me for a day, oh no, two or three days...... Wait for me. ”
Since that day, he has had some different expectations for life.
However, when he waited for those snacks, it was not two or three days later, but five days later.
Five days later, a fine food box was placed in his room, and she was on her way back to the north.
Opening the food box, he looked at the contents with some disappointment. I thought it would take five days to make it, it should be a good thing in exquisite condition, how could it be so ugly and strange, this small crisp, big and small, this pastry, the filling inside is overflowing, and it really makes people lose their appetite. After hesitating for a long time, he picked up the bowl of rock sugar bird's nest, but after taking a sip, he couldn't swallow it, the sweetness was so sweet that it was in his throat, and there was a strange smell in his mouth that spread down to his stomach.
From then on, he rarely ate sweet things, because he would always think of her and her rock sugar bird's nest.
He retracted his thoughts, "You are a person from Yufei, so naturally you should obey the rules more." Then hand it over to Yufei for punishment......"
"Your Royal Highness......" He Qijuan was unwilling to hand it back to Kang Yufei, which does not mean that nothing happened.
"Since she is the crown princess, she must know the priorities and how to punish the palace people, is it possible, you have to take care of things for her?" Although the prince did not speak harshly, the meaning of his words made He Qijuan dare not speak again.
Today's sun is bright and bright, but it can't lure Kang Yufei who is sullen in the house. She looked up at the sky, the sun was already hanging high, but she didn't see Yi Min come back. Something can't be wrong, right?
Just as she wanted to open her mouth to ask Fang's mother, Fang's mother came in, her eyes were a little strange, and she said lightly, "Yi Min is back." ”
Kang Yufei stood up and smiled.
"Also, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down."
The smile was taken back.
When the prince entered the house, he saw Kang Yufei standing beside him, with the food box she sent on the table, and couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't eaten rock sugar bird's nest for a long time." ”
Suddenly said such a sentence without a head or tail, Kang Yufei was a little dazed when she heard it, she glanced sideways at Yi Min who was kneeling beside her, and saw that she secretly waved her hand to make her eyes, and she was a little puzzled in her heart, and she didn't dare to answer rashly.
"By the way, this slave and maid collided with Concubine He, don't let her walk around these days. You said to Concubine He that you have already been punished by the board. ”
Kang Yufei was even more dazed. Is the prince covering for Yi Min's exoneration? This is even more incredible.
"I know that this Concubine He is deliberately making things difficult, you don't have to be angry with her, anyway, your girl didn't suffer anything, so forget it."
Although Kang Yufei didn't know the ins and outs, she didn't say anything when she saw Yi Min, thinking that she couldn't bear this anger, she should really not suffer any crime, so she nodded.
After Yi Min kowtowed to thank her, she was about to leave, when she suddenly saw the food box on the table, thinking that she hadn't had time to tell Yu Fei about the food box, she could only think of some ways to go out of the way, she stepped forward, "Our master's thoughts, do you want to taste it now?" Later, I am afraid that it will be cold, and it will not taste good. ”
The crown prince unconsciously frowned slightly. Recalling the taste of rock sugar bird's nest, my stomach churned.
