Chapter 228: Attending the Banquet
Outside the window, the magnolia shadow was deep, Tao Kite slowly opened his eyes, and Fu Yinxiao was still asleep. She playfully twitched, her fingers running from his forehead to his chin, fiddling with his long eyelashes.
His face is like rolling mountain peaks, and his eyes are like silent and turbulent rivers, lakes and seas.
Fu Yinxiao "snapped" on the back of her hand, hugged her and snorted dissatisfiedly: "Wake up so early, it's okay to do it, beware of the princess, I will call you over later, copy the female rules a hundred times." ”
"Hey," Tao Kite's soft voice sounded in his ears, and the flirtatious person was unbearable, "Your eyelashes are even better than a woman's." ”
It was a sincere compliment, but in Fu Yinxiao's ears, it was no different from a scolding word, and he frowned dissatisfiedly, blocking what Tao Kite was going to say next.
The two of them were tired until the princess sent someone to call, and then they got up in a hurry, and Fu Yinxiao said impatiently, "Why is this old woman looking for your fault all day long?"
"She must have wanted to ask us where we had gone that day and why we hadn't returned all night," Tao Kite muttered as she quickly washed up and put on her earrings and jewelry, "The princess will ask her son if she knows why she is acting with me." ”
Fu Yinxiao nodded, "Then you be careful." ”
Tao Kite was in a good mood, after Fu Yinxiao came back at that time, he discussed with the prince to open a warehouse and release grain, and now, most of the people in Cen County have been saved.
What's even happier is that the county order that made a lot of money for the people's sesame oil was replaced.
Ah Yue heard the movement and reminded the princess, she immediately closed her eyes, supported her chin with one hand and pretended to sleep.
"See the concubine," Tao Yuan learned to be smart this time, and didn't look at her face at all, and said with a smile after the salute, "The concubine is early." ”
Ah Yue hurriedly glared at her, "The princess has been in a bad mood these days, and today she finally sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun and was woken up by you, I really don't understand the rules."
She almost added the insulting words "country woman", Tao Yuan hooked a sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth, and said mercilessly, "Of course, the women in this palace are the most noble concubines, but it doesn't mean that any cat or dog can exceed the rules." ”
The princess and Ah Yue had a deep relationship, and she couldn't see Tao Yuan scolding her, so she hurriedly stopped, "How are you a wife of the prince."
Isn't it a shame for me to spread the word that I speak?"
Tao Yuan restrained the smile on her face, and said respectfully, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows, I don't know what the mother has to do when she calls me over today." ”
The princess put on a fake kind smile, since the last time Tao Kite's fake pregnancy caused her to sweep her face, she didn't dare to act rashly, she could only knock on the side.
"I heard that you and Brother Yin went a few days ago"
Without waiting for the princess to finish asking, Tao Yuan immediately interrupted her with a knowing expression, "The mother said this, I want to study new dishes that day, so I want to go to the countryside to find some ingredients, Master Fu can't rest assured, so he went with me." ”
The princess's expression was obviously disbelieving, but she couldn't find any evidence. I can only smirk and say, "Oh yes?"
"Guess what ingredients I'm looking for"
A look of curiosity appeared on the princess's face, "What"
Tao Kite was startled and stretched out two hands in front of her, "It's a locust."
The maidservants screamed in fright, and the princess, who would not be frightened, was pushed over her chair by one of them, and almost fell to the ground.
Ah Yue dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, waiting for her master to reply to the past, the princess was not in a hurry to find out the maid who had just caused her to almost fall, but said bitterly.
"Little kite, as the second lady of the palace, how can you do such an outrageous thing" She was so angry that she stomped her feet again and again, "It's just a matter of opening a shop outside, and you have to go to the countryside to find such disgusting ingredients"
Tao Yuan said, "Mother, this is my fault, locusts are very delicious ingredients, but after I gave the method to the refugees who were affected by the disaster, they praised it again and again, and I couldn't bring the locusts back." ”
"I dare to ask you to bring it back," the princess covered her chest, looking very angry, "That's it, I called you today to tell you." ”
Ah Yue handed over a gilded red invitation, which was Li Zhiyao's birthday, and by the way, the invitation was also sent to Fu's mansion.
"The girl of the Li family is a good person, since she has sent an invitation, you can give a face, and others will spread it and let others laugh at the women of our palace."
The princess turned away as she spoke, not giving her the slightest chance to refuse.
After meeting with Li Zhiyao, the two got along very well, but because of their embarrassing identity, they did not have a deep friendship.
Looking at the time, it happened to be this afternoon.
Tao Yuan thought about it, since Li Zhiyao likes to eat the pastries she made, she just brought them over.
In this season, no matter what flowers are, only dried petals remain, and the taste is not good. Tao Kite is also a person who is bent on the pursuit of perfection, and simply gives up those pastries that sound elegant.
I found pork belly, pork, and mutton, and got busy in the kitchen.
It's wrapped, steamed and fried, and it's almost time when it's done. Tao Kite took the food box and went straight to the Li Mansion.
At the door, she was stopped by several richly dressed women, most of them covered their faces with fans, and said with a smile, "If you come to deliver food, just put the food down, don't come in and dirty us."
"How do you guys talk" Before Tao Kite could get angry, a loud female voice came from life.
Sister An stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and said happily, "The old lady has been coming to your store to buy food these days, we don't want her to go out to work, but no one can stop her." ”
Sister An turned her head and changed her face at the few women who were not good at speaking just now, "This is the second lady of the Fu Mansion, don't be blind, you can't even recognize people." ”
One of them stepped out of the way, muttering dissatisfiedly, "Of course we know"
Tao Yuan and Sister An went in together, and clearly heard the girls behind them chewing their tongues and saying, "She is a country woman of unknown origin, I don't know what to be proud of, in terms of family background, appearance, and talent, which one of her can compare."
Tao Kite didn't think about it, he knew what they were talking about, and he was tired of hearing this kind of thing, so he simply didn't care about it, and participated in the banquet with a smile.
Today, the old lady also came, and she was overjoyed to see Tao Kite, so she stood beside her and kept discussing the practice of crayfish.
"It's the first time I've eaten something so delicious after living for so many years, and the wine, which is mellow and sweet and not spicy, it's really the best." The old lady praised: "No wonder you will become the wife of Brother Yin." ”
