Fruit
Qi Ge's body is getting better day by day, and the imperial doctor sent by the palace explained Prince Duan's physical condition to the emperor, and the emperor told Prince Duan to go to the court to discuss matters. The old lady has no intention of calling me back, and I will have the final say in the Duanwang Mansion, and I will be happy to stay here. Let Uncle Ah Quan help find some silk fabric and milk, and I plan to make the mask myself. Xi'er cut the fabric in the shape of a human face according to the way I cut it, cut out the position of the eyes, nose and mouth, and then dipped it in milk. This primary mask, done every day, is also good for eliminating dark spots and whitening the skin over time. Uncle Ah Quan passed by the pavilion, and was startled when he saw two people with white faces, and he opened his mouth to call someone, and he stopped after I waved to him. Xi'er asked me with the mask on it, Gege, how long are we going to wear this. I said, fifteen minutes, don't speak, I'll call you when the time comes.
She said, can you change the color next time? White is unlucky. I said, okay, you can use whatever color you want, as long as it doesn't fade, otherwise your face will be spent.
When Your Excellency comes back, he will come straight to my yard to see me.
I was afraid that he would be tired, so I stayed in the front hall every day after getting up, waiting for him to come back from the next court.
He will patiently listen to all what I say, will let me pull his arm and not let go, will pull the broken hair between my ears from time to time, and will smile when he sees me. I brought the kite I bought last time to him, and he would happily greet Ah Quan like a child to change his clothes, and then take me to fly a kite on the grass on the outskirts of Beijing. The carriage went all the way to the north, to a big meadow, he ran on the grass with a kite in the wind, I ran behind him, the kite flew very high, Qi Ge showed a big smile and called me:
"Jin'er, look!"
I tilted my head and kept looking at the kite, reaching out to pluck the thread in Qige's hand, but I didn't want the thread to break at this moment.
For a while, a kite without a string was like a bird that had broken free from its cage, gone with the wind and drifted away into the distance.
"It's a pity." I watched the kite fall from the sky, holding the spool in my hand in my hand, looking at Qige, frowning. Qi Ge stopped me in his arms from behind, and stretched out his index finger to smooth my eyebrows with a smile:
"It must be that this kite flies high, so I want to see the world by myself, and I don't want to be at the mercy of others anymore."
"You said that this kite has a spirituality."
"Okay, I'll make one for you when I go back!"
"You know how to make kites?"
Qi Ge nodded seriously:
"I'm a clever and talented Prince Duan."
"Shameless~"
Seeing Qi Ge pretending to beat himself, I couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face, and after pinching me, I ran away from his arms, causing him to chase after me and threaten to catch me. Bursts of laughter floated, and life seemed to be so happy and simple.
Myeongmin visited. Since the last time Qin Bi went to the palace and said not to have too close personal relationships, I didn't dare to ask her to play with Mingmin, fortunately, it was not too boring to have Xi'er around me and toss around, Uncle Ah Quan said that when Qifujin came, I was cutting fruit plates in the kitchen, and Xi'er was helping me peel apples. I said, okay, help tell Qifujin, I'll cut a fruit plate and give it to her. It must have been that I was cutting too slowly, but Myeongmin waited for a while and didn't see me, so he ran to me himself, and was surprised to see me cutting fruit around my apron. That's right, the aristocratic Gege probably never washed their hands and made soup.
"What is Gulen Gege doing?"
"Well, I want to cut a fruit bowl for you to eat, you see, the apples, the strawberries, and this cantaloupe, all of them have already been cut! Just cut this one in my hand! You wait a little bit, and you'll be right away! I said, pointing to the plate in front of me.
"All of this is done by Gege?" Myeongmin was obviously a little unconvinced.
"Oh, yes! Xi'er, look at your boiled milk! Just boil it, pour it into a bowl, dry it and we can drink! I cut the last apple in my hand, put away my knife, washed my hands, and led Min-min to the side hall with the fruit plate. Looking at the plate of fruits of different shapes in front of him, Ming Min was still surprised:
"How do you do all this?"
"It's very simple, just cut it from different angles, cut it into pieces, diamonds, triangles, squares, you can also cut it in half, or use a spoon to cut a ball out, it looks good, and it is convenient to eat!" I poked a strawberry with a silver fork and went on to say:
"If you like it, just come to me often, and I'll do it for you!"
Mingmin smiled:
"I don't dare to trouble Gege." After a pause, he said:
"If Gege can teach me, Lord Belle will be happy to eat such a fruit plate when he returns home after the next court."
"Okay! I've already cut such a plate today, tomorrow, I'll teach you tomorrow, okay? ”
Mingmin nodded happily.
I led Mingmin to the hall with a fruit bowl, Xi'er brought up the dried milk, and a layer of milk skin floated on it, and I always used my tongue to lick the milk skin into my mouth, Mingmin drank it very gently, and our lips were stained with milk. Then I made an appointment with Mingmin to make a mask, women are really natural die-hard fans of beauty, and they only did it once, and they said that they would do it every day after they went back, it was too comfortable. It's just that I didn't have much idea of what I said for fifteen minutes, so I just said that it would be enough to let her count 900 times in her heart. Sent Ming Min away, it was almost dark, but Qi Ge had not come back yet.
I guess it's a tricky affair in the court, but I didn't come back at dinner time. But after dinner, I was sleepy, and there was still no report of Prince Duan's return to the house. Ah Quan saw that I was staying in the hall and refused to move, so he came to persuade me to go back to the house to rest, saying that in the past, there was also this kind of late return, and the emperor might have something important to discuss with the prince. When I thought about it, I was right, at that time in Yanxi Lake, wasn't it time for Qige to return late? So I asked Ah Quan to leave the light, and I went to sleep.
