Chapter 120: Explanation
Ah Chun hurriedly ran up from behind, handed over a thick fox fur cloak, Zhao Kuangyan stretched it out in the wind and draped it on Lin Qingqing's body, and his slender and white fingers tied a beautiful knot on her chest.
"Send the imperial concubine in first." Zhao Kuangyan commanded Ah Chun.
"Yes, Your Highness." Ah Chun stepped forward to help Lin Qingqing and said in a low voice, "Imperial Princess, let's go." ”
Lin Qingqing didn't refuse, anyway, Kuang Yan would explain to himself sooner or later about the servant girl, there was no need to save his face at this time, maybe the queen mother had this idea.
The location of the prince's mansion itself is in plain sight, and if he makes a fuss directly at the door, maybe those who are hot will join him tomorrow.
Lin Qingqing still understands some of the powerful relationships, so he went in directly without asking too much.
Back in the house where the earth dragon was burning, Lin Qingqing took off the heavy hair ornaments on his head and put on lighter clothes.
Ah Chun stood aside and wiped her face with a hot handkerchief, and asked, "Is the imperial concubine passing food?" It's not too early. ”
Lin Qingqing didn't feel hungry, but he thought that he would wait for Kuangyan to come over, so he nodded, "Then pass the meal, make a fresh mutton soup, mutton is the most nourishing in winter." ”
Ah Chun got up and went to the kitchen to order, in the house, Lin Qingqing wiped his hands with a handkerchief and shrank to the collapse, and the hot soup woman had already been placed on it, she was usually the most afraid of the cold, and she could hardly go out without going out in winter.
After a while, Ah Chun returned, with a few maids carrying food boxes in their hands, and soon the steaming meal was placed on the table, and the fragrance immediately overshadowed the incense in the room.
"Imperial Princess, it's time to eat." Ah Chun opened the curtain and called, Lin Qingqing was a little reluctant, he finally warmed his hands and feet, but he still got up slowly.
Ah Chun helped her to the table, and there were four dishes and one soup, which were fragrant, especially the fresh smell of mutton, which made Lin Qingqing, who originally felt that he was not hungry, suddenly have some appetite.
Ah Chun picked up the chopsticks and prepared dishes for her, "What does the princess want to eat, the chef of this prince's mansion is a famous imperial chef, and he can do almost anything, especially this mutton soup, it is stewed so rotten that it almost melts in his mouth, I will give you some soup to warm your stomach first." ”
Lin Qingqing stirred the soup in the bowl, although it couldn't avoid some sheep flavor, but it was just a faint wisp that would not look very abrupt, and the stronger thing was the pepper flavor in it, with some spicy flavor.
She swallowed, scooped a spoonful and put it in her mouth, and suddenly a fresh smell spread in her mouth.
As Ah Chun said, this mutton is cooked very soft, and when it reaches the mouth, it slides down the esophagus with a 'grunt', and there is almost no need to chew.
The amount of pepper is not too much, not too much, if it is less, it will not cover the smell of sheep, and if it is too much, it will be easy to choke.
What a great lamb soup!
Lin Qingqing herself is a good cook, so she naturally knows the key, the taste is higher than herself, she drank two bowls in one go before putting down the bowl.
After drinking the mutton soup, Lin Qingqing seemed to have a great appetite all of a sudden, and used a small half bowl of green stem rice with some vegetables to eat a full meal.
Taking the handkerchief handed by Ah Chun and wiping the corners of his mouth, Lin Qingqing was a little curious, "You said that you were an imperial chef before you became a cook in the mansion now?" ”
"Yes, Imperial Princess, this cook's surname is Liu, and it is said that he has been in the mansion for three years, speaking of which, you really thought of going with Chef Liu today, this mutton soup began to stew yesterday, so it is so delicious."
Lin Qingqing was very satisfied with what he ate, "Then I have to ask him for advice another day, looking at his skills, he should be very good at making mutton." ”
originally thought that when I arrived in the capital, I would not be able to adapt to the dishes here, and as an imperial concubine, I naturally couldn't cook casually, but there are many strange people in the world, and there is no shortage of skilled people in the capital, Lin Qingqing felt that he was arrogant.
After eating, Lin Qingqing continued to lie down on the collapse, Kuang Yan didn't wait, but waited for Aunt Li.
Lin Qingqing hurriedly got up to greet him, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”
Aunt Li has not been very accustomed to it since she moved in, the prince's mansion is too big, there are five or six side courtyards alone, not to mention the main courtyard where they live, so she often comes to chat with Lin Qingqing.
It was snowing heavily today, and Aunt Li was going to shrink into the house for a day when she was old, but she overheard the two maids discussing that His Royal Highness had brought a beautiful woman back, and she was anxious when she heard it, and hurriedly came to Lin Qingqing to inquire.
"I heard that His Highness brought another woman back to his house, do you know about this?"
Lin Qingqing helped her to sit down, and ordered Ah Chun to serve hot tea, then sat down and said slowly, "There is indeed such a thing, but what I brought back is just a maidservant from the royal gift, don't worry about it." ”
Aunt Li was a little stunned: "Imperial gift? Didn't you send a lot of maidservants on the day of the wedding, why did you come again? ”
Lin Qingqing took a sip of hot tea and smiled slightly, "The previous maid was given by the Queen Mother, and this alone was rewarded by the Queen, Auntie, you can rest assured, there is no relationship between me and His Royal Highness that these outsiders can intervene." ”
"This ......" Aunt Li couldn't hear the meaning of her words, there must be something wrong with this girl, I originally thought that the queen mother could agree to the marriage of Lin Qingqing and Kuangyan, it must be benevolent, but this time, it is not quite true!
"Alright! I didn't care about this, you and Ah Chun were in a hurry first, don't talk about this, your health has been better recently? Lin Qingqing hurriedly changed the topic, she didn't want Aunt Li to worry too much.
Since you marry Kuangyan as the imperial concubine, you must bear something, Kuangyan's status is noble, and you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and you must not go wrong.
"It's better, the doctor's prescription is very effective, I just ate a few patches and it doesn't hurt much." Aunt Li was very happy when she mentioned this matter, and wondered why Kuangyan wanted to bring a doctor back, but she didn't expect him to think about himself like this.
It's an old problem that I fell when I was young, and I've been used to it for most of my life, and she just inadvertently mentioned it once and remembered it, although he is usually silent, but this kid has always done more and said less.
The two chatted without a word, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Zhao Kuangyan, who walked in from the outside, saw such a warm scene, and his originally cold face finally eased a lot.
He had just come from Xianghua, and he was very annoyed by the queen's behavior.
Xianghua was originally the maid who was stuffed by the queen mother in the prince's mansion, although she was extremely beautiful, but her mind was not pure, and she wanted to get close to herself in every possible way, so he endured it in order not to save her face, but now that she is married, what does it mean to bring her back?
And this girl deliberately made Lin Qingqing see herself when she first came, and she squirmed and posed that posture, Zhao Kuangyan really had the heart to kill her.
But he can't really kill her, and now he is doing everything possible to find fault, what kind of love between brothers is deep and righteous, but it's really fake.
Zhao Kuangyan is really not interested in the throne at all, not to mention that he already has a prince, the talents of the brothers in front of him are not inferior to him, no matter how he is, he can't take his turn, I really don't know what the prince thinks!
Then she was assigned to the most remote laundry room, and repeatedly warned her that if there was any small action, he would never spare her.
"Auntie, Lin Qingqing, what are you talking about so happy?"
