Chapter 6: Cakes and Cloaks
"Princess, isn't it okay?" Yu'er looked at the steaming steamer and couldn't help but ask, "This thing won't explode, right?" ”
“……”
Gong Que didn't know either.
To be precise, she wasn't sure if it would explode.
After all, flour can cause explosive damage when exposed to open flames, but she put eggs and milk in it, so it shouldn't explode......
Right?
Thinking about it, Gong Que stood on tiptoe and stretched out his little hand carved in pink and jade, intending to lift the lid, but was stopped by Yu'er at once.
"Slave and maid, princess, you and Concubine Jing stay away."
When Yu'er said this, she already had the mentality of death.
I saw her cautiously stretch out her hand, hold the lid, and tilt her head over, with an expression that she couldn't bear to look at directly.
When she quickly lifted the lid, the water vapor in the stove room was steaming, and Xu Yuan hid behind Gong Que, who was standing on the stool, looking at the fog with his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the white mist suddenly rose, and Gong Que's big watery eyes stared at the white without blinking.
When the fog cleared, Gong Que clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: "It's done." ”
The basin is filled with a golden and soft cake, which is perfect, without a single flaw, and it seems that I am still lucky to have it.
"Chi Chi (princess), what is this?" The two unsuspecting people opened their mouths in unison.
A certain facial paralysis commanded: "Cake." ”
"Cake?" Xu Yuan and Yu'er couldn't help but stare at each other, they had never heard of this strange thing.
"Whoa." Gong Que tore off two pieces of cake and held them up in front of the two, although his little face was still tense and expressionless, but there was a little more expectation in his eyes, "Try it." ”
Yu'er hesitated to take it, and just wanted to take a bite, but suddenly remembered something, and said a little timidly: "Princess, is it really okay for slaves?" ”
Looking at the little milk dumpling in front of her and nodded solemnly, Yu'er relieved her heart and took a bite carefully.
As soon as the tip of her tongue touched the piece of food called "cake", a strong egg flavor and milky aroma filled her mouth, sweet, fragrant and soft, a hundred times better than many foods she had eaten before.
Yu'er immediately star-eyed, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Princess, this is delicious!" ”
Seeing Yu'er's expression, Xu Yuan looked at the soft thing in his hand, thought for a long time, and hid it in his sleeve.
Gong Que: "What's wrong?" Don't you want to eat it? ”
Xu Yuan shook his head, like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head and pursed his lips: "Your father hasn't eaten it." ”
A sentence came out, Yu'er suddenly felt a little sour in her heart, even if she still remembered Her Royal Highness, such an infatuated woman, it was really ......
With a slight sigh in her heart, Yu'er turned her head to look at the poor princess, who tilted her head as if she was pondering something.
After a long time, Yu'er heard her say aloud: "Don't panic, I've already given him something else delicious." ”
Yu'er: "......"
Princess, can you please stop spoiling the atmosphere so much!!
Xu Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand, thought about it sideways, a smile appeared on his face, took the cake out of his sleeve, and ate it with taste.
is worthy of a mother and daughter, they all look so similar when they think about things.
Yu'er sighed in her heart, and when she turned her head, she saw her little princess holding a kitchen knife.
"Princess !!"
A sound comparable to a screaming chicken behind him startled Gong Que, and the knife in his hand was almost unstable.
Gong Que turned his head, his eyes confused: "??? ”
I saw Yu'er take three steps and make two steps, rushed to her side, and snatched the kitchen knife from her hand in one fell swoop.
Looking at his empty little hand, and then at the kitchen knife in Yu'er's hand, Gong Que didn't understand what he had done wrong.
"Princess, how can you take such a dangerous thing?! If you accidentally get hurt, it hurts, and you can't do such a dangerous thing next time, you know? ”
Yu'er's earnest teaching looks like an old mother teaching her disobedient child, and Gong Que wants to laugh when she looks worried.
What is that stab wound, and it won't die.
Gong Que smiled slightly in his heart, but his little face was still as cold as ever: "I want to cut half for Su Jingyu." ”
"Su Jingyu, the proton sent by the neighboring country? How could the princess have crossed paths with him? ”
Proton?
Gong Que vaguely had a shallow concept of this word in his mind.
Under Yu'er's repeated questioning, Gong Que repeated the matter clearly and clearly.
"Okay, but princess, you have to remember to stay away from that proton, Yu'er is afraid ......"
Yu'er stopped talking about it at this point, after all, it was not a good thing to chew her tongue behind her back, but she was still worried that the princess would be affected by that person.
After all, the princess is already pitiful enough, if she annoys His Majesty again.
The days ahead were so bitter that I didn't even dare to think about it.
"It's fine."
What storms has she never seen in the palace? What can a little proton do with her, besides, judging from yesterday's incident, he has no ill will towards himself.
Don't be afraid.
"Then princess, you have to remember to be careful, and come back as soon as you return the things to him." Yu'er said, carefully wiping the flour off her face for Gong Que, and the smile on her face was reassuring.
"Hmm."
The two of them were peaceful on their side, but there were people on the Kunning Palace side who were nervous.
"Queen, that little girl actually met the emperor, and it seems that the emperor still likes her very much, so wouldn't it be even more tricky to get rid of her in the future? Why don't we strike first? ”
Mingxiang is in a hurry, if the little princess is favored, wouldn't it be detrimental to the plans of the queen mother and the adult?
The lord said that if he wanted her to help the prince lay a solid foundation, he would ask Gong Que to pay for his life, but now, ......
"What's the hurry? It's just a hairy little girl, why is she so panicked? The queen couldn't help but yawn leisurely, holding the fan lightly in her bare hands, looking at it over and over, her voice soft and gentle, "In this harem, whoever I want to die, I just don't want her to die so early." ”
"Don't you see the grudge between the third princess and the adult? My lord, she was so anxious for the little girl to die, she must have known what the heavens were. ”
"Niangniang means ......," Mingxiang swallowed.
Liao Hou suddenly smiled: "Since this chip is in my hand, why do I need to dispose of it so early?" ”
Even if that little girl does deserve to die, it's not now.
……
After a long search, Gong Que found Su Jingyu's residence from everyone's vague and ambiguous answers.
It seems that this proton is indeed unpleasant, and even the place where he lives is so lonely and cold.
Gong Que raised his hand and clasped the door.
After a while, I heard someone inside lazily shouting, "Who? ”
This voice is definitely not Su Jingyu's, so whose is it?
With a full of doubts, Gong Que saw that the door in front of him was gradually opened.
The one who opened the door was a young man of fifteen or sixteen, who was staring at her with a pair of dark pupils.
"Who are you?" The young man looked at Gong Que and was suspicious.
Why didn't he know that His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness had acquaintances here, and he was still such a good-looking little girl, could it be difficult?
Before he could think about it, Su Jingyu in the house spoke up: "Shuyuan, who is here." ”
"Your Highness the Seventh, it's a little girl."
Hearing such an answer, Su Jingyu already knew in his heart, but he never thought that this princess would come to visit him.
How did she find here?
"Come in."
Gong Que heard the man's voice with a thick nasal voice and knew that he had a cold.
If he hadn't given himself the cloak......
Thinking about it, Gong Que felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart.
Stepping into the threshold, Gong Que immediately smelled the bitter smell of decoction in the courtyard.
Looking at it from the side, the small stove is fluttering, isn't it a medicine that is about to be fried?
Gong Que sniffed carefully, and could only smell a few flavors of ginseng and Poria cocos, so he secretly asked Shuyuan Su Jingyu what medicine he was drinking right now.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh has always been short of qi and blood, and now he is using ginseng, atractylodes, poria cocos, boiled licorice, rehman, angelica, white peony, Chuanxiong, and then adding the ten flavors of astragalus and cinnamon to cook soup and drink."
She silently recited these ten flavors of medicine in her heart, and then she knew what Su Jingyu was drinking-
Eight Zhen soup.
To put it more colloquially, it is the so-called perfect tonic soup.
Last night, the wind was strong, and Gong Que didn't smell the medicinal fragrance on Su Jingyu's body.
After thinking about it, Su Jingyu picked up the curtain and walked towards her, with a plain smile, slightly bowed his head, and looked at the cloak and food box in her hand: "What is the princess doing here?" ”
His voice was slightly hoarse, like fine sand rubbed by water.
Gong Que: Knowingly.
