Chapter 41: See Jerez again
Every day since then, Youli has asked me to ask her to cook, although I am not a chef, but I can still cook ordinary dishes, such as teaching her to make osmanthus and pear soup today.
"Youli, this pear can't be peeled, because we have to dig a hole in it later, and then put the osmanthus and water in it, and finally steam it." In fact, I have only seen this in the palace, and I have not done it myself, although I have never killed a pig, but I have seen a pig run. If this little girl wants to use this to please Jerujing, I think it's a good idea.
After wasting a dozen pears, it was finally done. Youli looked at the osmanthus pear soup in front of her, her eyes were full of anticipation, and I also looked at it excitedly, after all, it was the first time to do this. After smelling it, the fragrance of osmanthus contains the aroma of pears, and it smells good, but I don't know how it tastes......
"It's sweet, it's delicious." I don't know when Youli has already put a little soup in her mouth with her fingers, and then picked it up and was about to walk out immediately, "I'll bring it in to Cousin Jing." ”
By the time I reacted, the person had already disappeared, and it seemed that Yelujing had returned, waiting for what she had just called him...... Net cousin? Could it be that Youli is his cousin, if that's the case, everything seems reasonable.
It's just that I should find an opportunity to meet Yelujing, although I am now the palace maid of the Jingwang Palace, but I am arranged to teach Youli to cook in the kitchen, and there seems to be no chance, it seems that I have to think of a way.
On the second day, Youli hurriedly ran to the kitchen again, and said, "Leisurely, Cousin Jing said-" Suddenly she covered her mouth, as if she remembered something, and said to me, "Leisurely, I think you are different from other palace maids, I just told you, I am actually the cousin of Prince Jing, I secretly came in to be a palace maid, you must not say it, except for Cousin Jing, no one else knows about it." ”
I looked at her amusedly, this little girl was too easy to trust, and she was the same as I used to be. Sighing, I said, "Actually, I guessed it a long time ago, don't worry, I won't tell others." ”
She looked at me in a daze, as if wondering how I knew, and then after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized, "I know, I ...... yesterday" and then she was embarrassed.
I nodded, and then asked her, "What did you just say your cousin said?" ”
She patted her head, "I almost forgot about such an important thing, Cousin Jing said that the osmanthus pear soup was delicious, let ...... The one who taught me went to meet him. As he spoke, his voice became smaller, "I'm sorry leisurely, I already said that I did it, but Cousin Jing didn't believe it, and I don't know how he knew." ”
"Poof!" I accidentally laughed out loud, it seems that Yelujing knows a lot about his cousin. She pouted, "What's so funny about that, do you know why?" I shook my head cooperatively, even if I knew I wouldn't tell her, and when she was older, she would find out herself.
"That's right." She nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "By the way, you should go quickly, my cousin is not very good-tempered, otherwise he may punish you if he goes late." There was a smile on the corner of Youli's mouth, I don't know if it's true, or if I'm retaliating for laughing at her just now.
"Yes, the slave family will pass."
There wasn't anyone along the way, which gave me time to think about it, and I don't know what to say later, if there will be eyeliner around Yeluhuang......
After a curved stone road, the main hall of the Jingwang Palace has appeared in front of you, and there are no guards at the door, is there no one in the hall? I walked in cautiously, and when I had adjusted to the darkness inside, I saw a man sitting above the hall, dressed in purple clothes, with a pair of cool eyes that did not bend in a proper arc as before, but looked at me faintly.
I knelt down, stroked my left chest with my right hand, and said, "I don't know what happened to Prince Jing looking for the slave family?" ”
Suddenly, my jaw was raised, and I felt a little pain. I frowned and looked at the inexplicable man in front of me, wondering what was wrong with him?
"You think I don't know you anymore, girl from Chunyulou?" He looked at me coldly.
Sure enough, he still remembers me, although he doesn't understand why he is hostile to me, even if he really doesn't remember me, but I was just a passerby who recognized the wrong person before, why should I have such a big hatred with me?
I looked directly at him to see what was the difference between the strange person in front of me and the previous Chen Er, and finally found that in addition to the same appearance, the others seemed to ...... Gone are gone.
"Yelujing, are you amnesia?" It occurred to me that possibility.
"Who allowed you to call my name, tell me what is your relationship with the Western Kingdom?" He increased the strength in his hand, and I felt like my jaw was about to crush.
I couldn't help but open his hand and rub my chin vigorously, what the hell is going on with this person, I was originally from the Western Frontier Kingdom, what is the relationship? Wait, I almost forgot that this is the Eastern Wu Dynasty, if he knew that I was from the Western Dynasty, would I be immediately arrested as a spy?
Looking at him fearfully, it seems that there is no need to be arrested as a spy, it is possible that his life has begun to be difficult to protect, because--Yelujing at this time has no expression, but the anger is overwhelming.
"Come on, arrest this person who doesn't know the height of the sky, and he will not be allowed to eat for three days." Then I was taken down and locked up in a small dark room.
This is a firewood room, all waste dry firewood and straw, cobwebs everywhere, I reached out and touched the straw on the ground, the dust in the palm of one hand, it looks like no one has cleaned it up for a long time. I casually found a fairly flat place and sat down, bent my legs and hugged my knees, I don't know if there will be rats at night, and I don't know if rats will gnaw human flesh, so when it gets dark, I don't dare to sleep, listen carefully to the movements around me, and occasionally there will be a mouse "squeak" sound, but nothing else.
"Leisurely, leisurely, are you there? I'm Youli. There was a small voice outside the door, and it was her.
"Why are you here?" I hurried over and crouched down by the door.
"I'm coming to see you, now my cousin is angry, I went to beg him and he didn't listen to me, and I will beg him after dawn tomorrow, let you go, you bear with this night first."
I sighed, this Yelujing Bacheng regarded me as a spy of the Western Kingdom, or decided that I was the kind of person with bad intentions, no matter how persuaded by others, he would not change his opinion of me, the only way to prove it was to make him think of me, but you have to know what happened to him before, only when you know the antecedents, you can know what to do next.
"Youli, is your cousin amnesia?" I asked tentatively.
"Amnesia? No, he remembers me. ”
"Then the net prince will not have a twin brother or something?" This is not impossible, only in this way will there be two completely different Jelujing.
The shadow outside shook his head, "No, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm just curious." After a pause, I continued to ask, "Has something happened to Prince Jing lately?" ”
The other side seemed to ponder for a while before saying, "When Cousin Jing was rescued by Cai Ze, it seemed that he was a little injured, but it didn't take a few days to get better, and ......" She stopped and didn't continue.
"But what?" I suddenly felt a little more eyebrow-raising.
"In the past, my cousin Jing always couldn't find anyone, and he never cared about the affairs in the palace, but after coming back this time, he immediately lived in the palace and began to assist the king." After she finished speaking, she glanced around and said in a low voice: "Leisurely, it's not good to be discovered by Cousin Jing later, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to you tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Regardless of whether he can go out tomorrow or not, but Yelujing's matter finally has a little eyebrows, it seems that it should be related to that injury, that time he was injured in the mountain leg, I don't know if there are other injuries in addition? It seems that I can only ask Cai Ze.
But the strange thing is, if there is no amnesia, how can you not remember me? Is it pretended? I immediately shook my head, no, no, no, there was no reason for him to do this, and besides, he pretended to be too similar. But if he really has amnesia, how will he remember his cousin? It seems that I will test it next time.
When it was dawn, I realized that I didn't know when I fell asleep last night, and I quickly touched my body to see if there were any bite scars, but fortunately there was nothing.
Suddenly the door opened, and the sunlight shone in, and I couldn't open my eyes. I covered it with my palm, and then I squinted and saw the person, a little girl with tears in her eyes.
"Leisurely, are you okay?" Youli pulled me up in surprise and looked around me.
I smiled, "I'm fine, it's only been a day." "Yes, it's only been a day, and I've gotten through it when I'm in prison before.
"It's okay, I'm begging Cousin Jing to let you out, but he said that if you are caught by him, it won't be so good." Youli was curious: "What kind of handle, leisurely?" ”
"It's just that I can't teach you how to cook."
She stuck out her tongue at me and regained her happiness, "Let's go, you teach me a new dish today, this time I must learn it, no matter what Cousin Jing wants to eat in the future, I will make ......"
I watched her quietly and let her take my hand and walk forward, thoughtfully...... I don't know if Yelujing protected her well, or if she was too young to understand the world?
In the past, Xiao Er and I, when we were in Wuhua Town, were just like Youli and Yelujing today. It's just that now, it seems that everything has become different, I am not the same person I used to be, and Yelujing is no longer the Chen Er I used to be.
