Chapter 62: Drinking Porridge
In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Zhiyi changed into a water-blue plain dress and went to Liu Wan's tent.
Before Chen Zhiyi left, Xie Fanghua repeatedly told her to be careful of Liu Wan, especially to pay attention to whether there would be anything in the porridge that should not be there, Chen Zhiyi knew that her sister was worried about herself, so she nodded and agreed.
When I went, there were already three young ladies arriving, and Chen Zhiyi didn't know them, so he watched them laugh and chat with Liu Wan.
When Liu Wan noticed Chen Zhiyi, Chen Zhiyi had already found a back seat and sat down, she glanced at Chen Zhiyi, and then turned her head to talk and laugh with those young ladies.
After a while, a few more official ladies came in, but looking at their outfits, I think that their family backgrounds are similar to Liu Wan's.
Liu Wan beckoned everyone to sit down, and she also called the maid to serve the porridge, "It's my honor for the ladies to come to me to drink porridge with their faces." The porridge that was served after a while was all meat porridge, and the meat was naturally made by some prey in the forest, and if you liked it, you could drink a few more bowls. ”
The meat porridge that Chen Zhiyi drank the most was pork porridge, that is, the pork was chopped up and boiled porridge to drink, and it was quite good to eat it for breakfast.
At this time, hearing Liu Wan say that she would cook porridge with the meat of various prey, Chen Zhiyi suddenly became interested.
Not long after, the little maid fish rushed in, and Chen Zhiyi suddenly put three bowls of meat porridge in front of him, but that bowl was only half the size of a palm, and naturally there was not much porridge.
Chen Zhiyi ate with a spoon, and ate two bites of each bowl first, feeling that it tasted good, but one bowl was too idle, and she didn't know what kind of meat it was.
The third bowl is rabbit meat, this rabbit meat is very familiar to Chen Zhiyi, there are the most hares in the mountains and forests, not to mention the rabbits that Xie Enran made for her, she has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and most of the cases when she sleeps in the mountains and wilderness is to hunt rabbits to eat.
After eating a few bites, Chen Zhiyi remembered his sister's instructions before leaving, so he put down the spoon, but his eyes were still staring at the two bowls in front of the table.
She hadn't seen what kind of meat she had eaten from those two bowls, and one of them was a little salty.
"What kind of meat is Miss Liu's porridge? Mine has dog meat and chicken, and I haven't eaten a bowl of it. A young lady in yellow wiped the corners of her mouth with an embroidered lace handkerchief and said to Liu Wan with a smile.
"I also have chicken here, but I haven't eaten the other two bowls." Liu Wan replied with a smile.
Chen Zhiyi couldn't help licking his mouth when he heard that there was different meat in other people's bowls, but he couldn't help it.
Those young ladies began to talk about the meat in their bowls, Chen Zhiyi didn't know anyone except Liu Wan, and Liu Wan, as the host, didn't have time to take care of her, so Chen Zhiyi was bored and stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Wan suddenly called Chen Zhiyi and walked towards her with a smile, "Miss Chen thinks this porridge is delicious?" She looked down at the porridge on Chen Zhiyi's table, and basically didn't move.
Chen Zhiyi stood up and nodded, "It's okay." She originally wanted to say that one of the bowls was too salty, but she thought Liu Wan would be unhappy, so she didn't say it.
Liu Wan met Chen Zhiyi's eyes for a rare time, "But Miss Chen didn't take a few sips." ”
How could Chen Zhiyi tell her sister to tell her to eat less Liu Wan's porridge? She scratched the back of her neck and explained with an embarrassed smile, "I ate too much roast chicken when I came, and it was a bit ......"
Liu Wan didn't believe her, she only felt that Chen Zhiyi still doubted herself, but her purpose was not here, it didn't matter how much Chen Zhiyi ate or whether she ate or not.
"By the way, Miss Chen," Liu Wan no longer dwelled on this question, "I had a little friction with Princess Pingle before, but I don't want to lose her as a friend, can you do me a favor?" ”
Chen Zhiyan didn't think too much, "Tell me, I'll do my best." ”
Liu Wan said: "I originally wanted to call Princess Pingle to drink porridge together, but she is under house arrest, and I don't dare to see the princess, can you please send me porridge." ”
Chen Zhiyi heard this, and his face was bitter.
Liu Wan is embarrassed for her, doesn't she know the relationship between Chen Zhiyi and Princess Pingle? Outsiders don't know that Princess Pingle once had trouble with Chen Zhiyi in the palace, but Liu Wan should know about Fu Siyi's banquet, right? Chen Zhiyi and Princess Pingle's Liangzi were officially married at that time.
It's good now, Liu Wan asked her Chen Zhiyi to send porridge to Princess Pingle?
That's impossible.
Chen Zhiyi refused.
Liu Wan was a little unhappy, lowered her eyes, and said, "This matter is indeed a bit embarrassing Miss Chen, but you also know that I don't have many friends in the capital, and I also took a lot of effort to invite the young ladies in this tent." If I lose Princess Pingle's friend, I ......."
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't get along for a long time and didn't have much contact, Chen Zhiyi would almost think that Liu Wan knew very well that she didn't eat hard.
You said that it's okay for you to be hard, but Liu Wan's temperament is ......
Chen Zhiyi is really helpless.
"But I sent it to her, what should she do?" Chen Zhiyi said.
"It's okay, as long as the porridge is delivered, my heart will arrive, and the princess won't be angry anymore." Liu Wan thought that Chen Zhiyu had agreed, so she hurriedly raised her head again and looked at Chen Zhiyu expectantly.
Chen Zhiyi reluctantly agreed, Liu Wan thanked her again and again, and instructed the maid to bring porridge, pumpkin porridge, and sprinkled with green onions, steaming, which looked good.
Chen Zhiyi didn't have the habit of taking a maid, so he walked towards Princess Pingle's tent with porridge with his own hands.
Princess Pingle's tent was next to Concubine Yu's, a little far away from Liu Wan's, but Chen Zhiyi was not slow to walk, and it didn't take long to arrive.
As soon as she walked over, two guards outside the tent blocked Chen Zhiyi's way with guns.
"Miss Liu's porridge for your princess, bring it in!" Chen Zhiyu snorted, stuffed the porridge into the hand of a guard, and turned to leave.
The guard glanced at the other guard, hesitated, but went in with the porridge.
Princess Pingle was still losing her temper at first, but after Concubine Yu Guifei came to comfort her, she didn't make a fuss.
In fact, she was quite wronged in this matter, she was used by her adoptive mother Yu Guifei, and she carried the black pot for Liu Wan, but unfortunately she didn't know it herself, and she always felt that she didn't plan it.
When the guards came in, Princess Pingle was sitting at the head of the bed, her wide eyes full of hatred, but she couldn't attack at the thought of her mother's comfort.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is the porridge that Miss Liu gave you." The guards didn't dare to provoke Princess Pingle, so they put the pumpkin porridge on the table and retreated.
"This Liu Wan still dares to send porridge to this princess to drink?" Princess Pingle stomped her feet and shouted angrily.
The maid hurriedly spoke: "Her Royal Highness the princess dissipated her anger, then Liu Wan was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, but now in this situation, she still sends porridge to the princess to drink, I think I want to reconcile with you." Your Royal Highness, Princess, you think, how much support will you lose from being placed under house arrest after five months? It's better to accept this Miss Liu......"
This maid has always been clever to herself, and what she says seems to be long-term, but in fact she doesn't know what will happen in the long run, not only does she not know, but she doesn't think about it.
And after listening to her words, Princess Pingle felt that it made sense, and nodded reluctantly, "Take it and taste it." ”
Princess Pingle was in a bad mood, and she ate less, and in the past two days, she was indeed a little hungry.
When the maid heard this, she hurriedly ran over to serve the porridge and handed it to Princess Pingle with both hands.
Princess Pingle picked up the spoon and took a bite, there was pumpkin in it, there should be sugar, it tasted sweet, the meat in it was somewhat familiar, as if she had eaten it, but there were not many times, and Princess Pingle didn't think about it.
After taking a bite, she thought it tasted good, so she took another bite and another bite.
Originally, the portion was not much, but Princess Pingle ate it all at once, "Gone?" "The first time she felt full, it was probably because she hadn't eaten much for two days!
The maid didn't expect Princess Pingle to eat so much at once, she was very happy, "If Her Royal Highness the princess likes it, the slave maid will tell someone to make this wine again." ”
"Go ahead!"
After Chen Zhiyi left Princess Pingle's tent, he went back to his tent first, Xie Fanghua was waiting inside, Qingzhi was still injured, and he sat next to Xie Fanghua.
"Coming back?" Xie Fanghua has always been worried about Chen Zhiyi, and now she is finally relieved to see her come back safely.
"Hmm!" Chen Zhiyi walked over with a smile, "Sister, that meat porridge is very delicious, I have only eaten pork porridge before, and today is considered a long experience." But don't worry, I didn't eat much. ”
Xie Fanghua smiled faintly, "If you like it, go back and ask the cook to make it for you alone." ”
Chen Zhiyi responded with a smile.
Xie Fanghua asked again: "You went to the forest alone this morning, and went to Liu Wan to drink porridge in the afternoon, don't you plan to meet Len Ran?" ”
Chen Zhiyi was taken aback.
How did she think her sister knew about her and Xie Ran?
Could it be that Xie Eran said it?
Chen Zhiyan's face turned red all of a sudden, "Sister, Xie Eran told you?" ”
Xie Fanghua smiled lightly and nodded, "Sooner or later." ”
Chen Zhiyi scratched her head, walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water and drank it all, she pressed the back of her hand to her face, and suddenly found that the back of her hand was quite cold.
When Chen Zhiyi was distracted, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and two guards came in, saw Xie Fanghua there, and saluted, "Zhaoyi Niangniang, the noble concubine Niangniang invites Miss Chen Er to go." ”
Xie Fanghua got up, and the smile on her face faded, "What did the concubine ask Zhiyu to do?" ”
The guards had a little headache, this Xie Zhaoyi gave people a feeling that was too cold, "I don't know, it was said that Princess Pingle was poisoned after eating the porridge sent by Miss Chen Er, so ...... Don't embarrass the slaves, please go to the second lady! ”
Chen Zhiyi was blinded throughout the whole process.
Princess Pingle was poisoned?
Or did you eat the pumpkin porridge she sent?
Chen Zhiyi suddenly remembered Liu Wan, she gritted her teeth, feeling that she had been tricked again.
