Chapter 16: Someone Broke the Appointment
Ji Qingge rolled up his sleeves and cooked by himself.
There was no firewood, so she dropped the wooden door of the abandoned firewood house and burned it with weeds. Fortunately, I only made a chicken soup, a bowl of boiled fish, and then fried a plate of green vegetables, which didn't use much firewood.
After a while, Ji Qingge prepared the delicacies with all the color and flavor, and served them to the table by Xingyu.
This made Xingyu couldn't help but exclaim: "I really didn't expect that Miss would be able to cook?!" In her impression, whether it was a young lady six years ago or a young lady today, they are all people who can't cook.
How did you get out of the firewood room, and you became stronger and could cook......
"Not only do I eat, but I also cook."
Ji Qingge didn't intend to hide anything, but he didn't want to explain it for the time being, so he made fun of Xingyu.
I thought that there was no microwave oven and oven or anything after the crossing, otherwise let alone cooking, even if she was asked to make cakes and cookies, it would be fine.
The delicacies were on the table, but Xingyu and Ji Qingge hadn't moved their chopsticks yet, because they were waiting for a distinguished guest, Di Jinxuan.
After waiting for about half an hour, I didn't see Di Jinxuan. Ji Qingge said a little anxiously:
"Xingyu, you helped me take the message to the shopkeeper, he ...... How do you say that? β
Thinking of the ancient feudal etiquette, Ji Qingge's heart became inexplicably nervous again. She repeatedly warned herself in her heart that it was the creditor who was invited for this meal, not her fiancΓ©.
Just grateful to the creditor, grateful to the life-saver.
Because after Di Jinxuan had dinner with her last night, he said that love cannot be measured by money, so she didn't have to take it to heart. He also said, "Of course, if you are grateful to the king and invite him to dinner, he will be happy to go." β
Ji Qingge let Di Jinxuan choose by himself, any restaurant in the imperial city.
But he said, "It's so uninspiring." Can't you be sincere and invite this king to the general's palace for dinner? He put his right hand on Ji Qingge's shoulder, and said seriously: "Good wine and good food are not the point, as for the point, it is to make this king happy to eat." β
"That's, that's inevitable."
Can she make him unhappy with the creditor?
As a friend, she should repay him as a friend, and take the initiative to ignore those so-called feudal rituals. In other words, he has been to Ji Mansion several times, and he doesn't care about coming again.
"Then it's settled. After I make the meal, I will personally ask the prince to ......"
"Don't, just bring a message to the restaurant shopkeeper." Di Jinxuan removed his right hand away, staring at her with dark jade-like eyes, and said.
That's it, Ji Qingge asked Xingyu to bring a message to the shopkeeper of the restaurant. Who knew that Xingyu said: "Miss, I handed over the message to the shopkeeper by hand." It's just that he said that he hasn't seen anyone from Xiao Wangfu go to the restaurant today. β
Seeing that Ji Qingge's eyes suddenly dimmed, Xingyu hurriedly comforted her and said:
"Miss, don't worry, the shopkeeper said that he would hand it over to the third prince as soon as possible."
"Go, I'm not worried about anything." Ji Qingge felt that his cheeks were getting hot, so he had to tell Xingyu: "The food is cold, heat it up again." β
"Okay."
After Xingyu went to the hot meal, Ji Qingge's powerful heart also fell into a painful entanglement.
On the one hand, she wanted to let herself understand Di Jinxuan more. After all, with his character, it is unlikely that he will release pigeons for her. Moreover, he is a person who has important things to do with the DPRK and China, and he may not be able to delay anything.
But as soon as she remembered what Xingyu had told her, she felt uneasy again.
Yesterday, Xingyu was taken by Aunt Liu from Yanfu to go shopping and buy clothes, etc., so she whispered to Xingyu: "Xingyu, your young lady has suffered so much, and now, she is finally going to live a good life." β
Xingyu glanced at Aunt Liu gratefully.
"You must know that His Royal Highness King Xiao is the prince of many famous families in the imperial city, and the princes who compete to admire." Aunt Liu leaned close to Xingyu's ear and said softly: "I heard that he is still a very important prince of the emperor, and he is ...... It's possible to become the crown prince. β
In short, Aunt Liu taught Xingyu how to dress up Ji Qingge, from combing her hair to inserting hairpins and hairpins, she taught her everything very carefully. She said: "When General Ji's wife was alive, she was a world-famous beauty. Your young lady was born to her, so she can naturally outperform many beauties. β
Aunt Liu's meaning is that the marriage contract is just a formality. Di Jinxuan married Ji Qingge because of the marriage contract. But if you want Di Jinxuan to love her, you have to think about it.
Since ancient times, heroes love beauties, as long as Ji Qingge dresses up beautifully and is gentle to Di Jinxuan, then there is no reason why he doesn't love her.
After Xingyu shyly brought Aunt Liu's original words to Ji Qingge, she couldn't help but joke Xingyu: "Where are they?" I didn't have time to delve into that. Making money is a necessary skill for survival. β
I thought that Di Jinxuan was not an ordinary man, thinking that by brushing his favor and increasing his visual beauty, he could capture his heart?
How can it be.
When I raised my eyes, I saw Xingyu bringing the meal that had been hot again to the table. Ji Qingge thought that Di Jinxuan would not come, she pursed her lips and pretended to be calm:
"Eat, don't wait."
The loneliness in her eyes was still noticed by Xingyu. Xingyu comforted her: "It may be ......"
"I didn't mention it, eat."
Ji Qingge served chicken soup for Xingyu and said: "When we are all growing up, eat more and make up for it." She didn't give Xingyu a chance to speak again at all, and let the food block Xingyu's mouth.
The stomach is clearly empty, and the food looks very good. It's just that these delicacies have become tasteless when they enter Ji Qingge's mouth.
She asked herself in her heart:
"Is it too righteous, and it's also a shortcoming? Or did I ask him for too much help and make him think I was too light? β
Ji Qingge has no way of knowing this answer.
After the meal, she packed some of the food in a porcelain lunch box. Bring the gold needles and silver needles that Xingyu bought for her, as well as the antidote powder and poison powder she made herself, put the small hoe into the medicine basket, and said goodbye to Xingyu and went out to collect medicine.
Xingyu cried into tears, and it couldn't stop Ji Qingge's footsteps in Xishan to collect medicine.
She told Xingyu, "I'll be back tomorrow afternoon at most." I have silver taels at home, and I can buy whatever I want to eat. In addition, if Ji Qingling comes, don't pay attention. β
Although Ji Qingling was forced to move, he temporarily lived in another mansion in Du Wei. But that family is not a good stubble, and Ji Qingge has to guard against it.
When leaving, she asked Xingyu not to reveal her whereabouts to others, because the neighbors may not all have good intentions.
Ji Qingge, who was dressed in a black robe, came to the foot of the West Mountain with a medicine basket on his back. With the memory of the original owner and Yan Xinying going into the mountains to collect medicine when she was a child, she easily found a shortcut into the canyon.
It's just that the path is full of thorns and daunting.
