Chapter 135: Rare and generous
"You can't go, but if the king goes, he'll be exposed." Xiao Liyan glared at Li Mo and said in a low voice.
Let's not mention how much Ruan Lingwei's girl despises him, if others know that he has gone, they will definitely suspect him of ulterior motives.
After all...... reported to the palace management office today, saying that the people who were coming to Qingxi Valley were Ruan Lingwei and Concubine Qing, if he came, it would naturally not be a chance encounter.
Those women in the harem are not fuel-efficient lamps, especially the concubines.
Xiao Liyan didn't want to make trouble for Ruan Lingwei.
It is best to spend this period of time in peace, and then return to the capital, he and Fang Danhua reconciled and divorced, and married Ruan Lingwei.
At that time, I can be with her in the bright light.
Li Mo didn't dare to say half a word when he heard this.
In the past, he always felt that his master was an unenlightened person, so he was not liked by the princess.
It wasn't until now that he knew that once his prince was moved, it would be very terrifying, and he couldn't wait to follow Ruan Cairen every step of the way.
Today, Ruan Cairen came out to play, and the prince was worried about her safety, so he quietly followed, and deliberately kept his distance in order not to be discovered by others.
"Lord Wang, look over there, it's the guards you sent to Ruan Cairen." Li Mo pointed not far away and said loudly.
Xiao Liyan turned his head when he heard this, and saw the two guards riding horses coming this way.
"You don't protect Concubine Qing and Ruan Cairen, what are you doing here?" Li Mo saw the two of them walk in, and hurriedly asked loudly.
"Back to the prince's words, his subordinates were ordered to come to find lotus roots, lotus leaves, lotus flowers, snails and grass sprouts." The guard at the head hurriedly replied.
Xiao Liyan knew that Ruan Lingwei was going to make something delicious as soon as she heard it.
It's a pity that I don't have this mouthful, and it's cheap to celebrate the concubine.
"You go along and look for it." Xiao Liyan commanded the guards around him.
"Yes, lord." Everyone responded and hurriedly went to help.
Xiao Liyan brought out more than a dozen guards, and everyone rolled up their trouser legs and went down to the lotus pond to help find what Ruan Lingwei wanted, which looked quite funny.
After all, these guards are still very decent on weekdays.
There were many people and great strength, and it didn't take long for the necessary things to be prepared, and the two guards were overjoyed and hurriedly rode back.
In Qingxi Valley, Ruan Lingwei and Concubine Qing were fishing by the stream.
Before coming, Ruan Lingwei specially asked the people in the small kitchen to prepare a small net for fishing.
"It's a pity, all the fish we catch are small fish." Qing Zhaoyi looked at the small bucket on the side, sighed and said.
"It's not fun to eat big fish all day long, it's not bad to catch some small fish to eat, and then remove the internal organs in the belly of the fish, wash it and fry it in oil to make dried fish, and then put my secret seasoning, it tastes great." Ruan Lingwei said with a smile.
Concubine Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this, she had never eaten such a small dried fish.
"It's just a little hot, I asked people to pick some banlan roots, let's make soup and drink it later, just to reduce the fire." Ruan Lingwei said with a smile.
"Okay." Concubine Qing didn't understand this, of course she listened to her.
When the two of them had caught a lot of small fish and put them in the buckets, the two guards also rode back.
"So fast." Concubine Qing said with some surprise.
"Back to Niangniang's words, the subordinates met His Royal Highness King Qi by the lotus pond, and the prince asked the guards around him to help, so he quickly prepared what Niangniang and the talented people needed." The guard at the head hurriedly said.
Ruan Lingwei looked at the big basket of snails, and didn't know what to say for a while.
There are so many of them, they can't eat them all.
There are not only snails, but also lotus roots, lotus leaves and grass buds.
"Forget it, let's clean it up first." Ruan Lingwei said with a smile.
Under the guidance of her and Yun Shen, everyone hurriedly helped to clean up the ingredients, including the guards, and they all started.
After cleaning up, Yun Shen helped Ruan Lingwei and began to make lunch.
By noon, all the meals were ready.
Ruan Lingwei asked people to bring two food boxes and put some vegetables in them, including stir-fried snails, spicy fish, crispy mushrooms, called flower chicken, cold salad, water celery, cold lotus, lotus leaf porridge and mixed Juncao sprout soup.
"Send this to His Royal Highness King Qi, and thank him for preparing the ingredients for us." Ruan Lingwei called a guard over and commanded in a low voice.
"Yes." The young guard answered, and hurriedly carried the food box.
"The girl is willing." Concubine Qing came over and said with a smile.
"Do a lot, we can't finish eating, instead of wasting the leftovers, it's better to give it away, don't you want me to make a lot of friends with King Qi, today my family has prepared the ingredients for us, let's return the favor." Ruan Lingwei said with a smile.
"That's a good point." Concubine Qing smiled and nodded.
Ruan Lingwei knew what she was thinking, but she was afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat.
In fact, Concubine Qing is like this on weekdays, with big eyes and small belly, before she started, she always felt that she could eat a cow, and she really moved her chopsticks, although she could eat it, but at most it was the amount of a chicken.
As for Xiao Liyan, don't think that Ruan Lingwei doesn't know, that guy just wants her to cook, and she came over with her today, in addition to wanting to see her, she probably also wants to eat.
For the sake of how attentive he was before, she was generous and gave him food.
Under the big tree by the lotus pond, Xiao Liyan was bored eating the food they brought when they went out in the morning.
Because of the hot weather, and the inconvenience of making a fire or something like that, they brought things that could be eaten directly.
For example, steamed buns, flatbreads, braised beef, braised chicken, etc.
He was tired of eating these things for a long time, so he naturally didn't have any interest at this time, just eating them casually.
"Lord Wang, this wine is good, Lord Wang wants two sips?" The guard Haiyi leaned over and asked with a smile.
"Don't drink it." Xiao Liyan shook his head.
He had to watch Ruan Ling Wei An's safe return to the palace to rest assured, drinking or something, the worst thing.
He has always been cautious, especially when he is away from home.
Although Ruan Lingwei has no quarrel with the world, others don't think so, and there are many people who want to take action against her and Concubine Qing.
Even with the lessons of Wen Zhaorong and Mei Cairen, there are still people who want to die.
Just as Xiao Liyan was about to get up and walk around, he suddenly saw a guard riding a horse and carrying a food box.
"Lord Wang, there is something to eat." Li Mo leaned over and said excitedly.
Xiao Liyan glanced at him when he heard this, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, Li Mo was not allowed to grab food with him.
Moments later, the guards arrived, turned over and dismounted, and presented the food box.
Li Mo hurriedly took it and placed the dishes in the food box one by one on the small table on the side.
Because I came out to play, the table was very simple and not big, and I couldn't put so many dishes.
After Xiao Liyan saw it, his face was full of smiles.
It seems that Ruan Lingwei's girl still has a conscience, and when she learned that he was here, she specially asked someone to send food over.
As for the taste?
It's intoxicating when you smell it, and it's definitely more fragrant when you eat it.
