Chapter 81: Leaving Beijing
I was still asleep when I was woken up by Zhu Di's magic voice: "Le'er!"
I opened my wistful eyes and glanced outside, still gray, so I complained very dissatisfiedly: "Soul call, early in the morning." ”
Before I finished speaking, Zhu Di pinched my nose: "It's getting more and more presumptuous, and you dare to talk to this king like this." ”
I patted his hand and said unhappily, "Got up so early and are leaving?" ”
Zhu Di stroked a handful of my hair and gently played: "Yes, no matter how late it is, the palace gate will change the guard, and it will be difficult to get out." ”
I got up slightly, leaned on the bed frame embroidered with acacia flowers and looked at Zhu Di, his dark face, his facial features became more and more distinct, with a mature charm.
"Did you really come back to see me?" I had a hint of doubt. Zhu Di doesn't look like such a willful person.
"These days, I'm always very worried." Zhu Di pulled me closer to his arms, did he say that he was worried about me?
Looking at Zhu Di's tender eyes, he was a little uncomfortable. I leaned against his warm chest and listened to his powerful heartbeat, a little in a trance.
Why are two people who are obviously incompatible, but suddenly they become so ambiguous.
I don't know when I gradually became defenseless against him, but it was like a natural habit, accustomed to everything about him.
"It's time for you to go! If my father finds out, he should be punished very lightly! I said suddenly, sullenly.
"Well, then I'm leaving!" After Zhu Di finished speaking, he got up neatly, put on the eunuch suit, looked back at me, and then said, "Be good!" ”
Then I approached the window and jumped and disappeared, I looked out of the gray window, the sky was almost bright, and I began to worry inexplicably, I don't know, he will go out this time will be smooth.
After that, he blamed himself again, Xu Miaole, you are crazy, you can't be emotional to an emperor, you can resist the prince who is as warm as water, let alone a cold Yan King.
When I closed my eyes, the exhaustion forced me to fall asleep again.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn, and the warm sunlight was shining through the window, and the dormitory I was looking for was bright.
I exhaled: "Xu Qi, Zhi'er!" ”
"Yes, sis!" Xu Qi and Zhi'er answered outside the door.
They came in with a smile on their faces, and Zhi'er looked around after coming in, and then asked suspiciously, "Miss, where is Your Highness?" ”
I gave her a faint look, and then said, "What nonsense? I am the only one in this hall, how can Your Highness be here when she is far away in Fengyang? Zhi'er, are you sleepy? ”
When Zhi'er heard my words, she was even more puzzled, and couldn't help but want to argue: "But, last night, ......"
"What Miss said is that His Royal Highness did not respond to the emperor's summons, how could he return to Beijing at will, this is a major matter of bullying the king, Zhi'er is not allowed to talk nonsense." Xu Qi grabbed Zhi'er knowingly, and then said.
I nodded with satisfaction, but I was a few years older, and my heart was more sensible.
Only then did Zhi'er suddenly wake up: "Oh, yes, yes, look at my confusion, Your Highness is in Fengyang!" ”
After saying that, he began to freshen up and dress me, and when I was ready, I walked to the Rouyi Hall to greet the queen, and the road was calm and I didn't hear anything new.
I think Zhu Di should have left the capital smoothly at this time!
I met the crown princess again on the way, it's really a narrow road, and I can meet her everywhere.
"Princess Yan's sister also came to greet the queen mother?" The crown princess said softly.
"Yes, see the crown princess!" I bowed to her slightly.
"I said don't be so formal! Let's go in together! As she spoke, the princess took my hand.
I frowned slightly, in August, her hands were still so cold, holding my hand, there was a chill.
"Son-in-law, please give peace to the queen mother!" All the princesses have also arrived, and everyone has invited the queen to come to peace.
The queen sat on the throne and said lightly: "Get up!" ”
After we were seated, the queen asked Lou Yun to serve a plate of green pastries. The queen said: "This is the mung bean cake from the south, it tastes good, everyone can try it!" ”
Everyone took a piece and chewed it slowly. I picked up a piece and put it in my mouth, and although it tasted okay, it was a lot rougher than what I had eaten in modern times.
"It tastes so good!" Princess Qin smiled at everyone, and then praised.
"yes!" The crowd chimed in.
I sat silently, halfway through and unable to eat any more.
"Le'er, why don't the pastries suit your appetite?" The queen saw that I didn't eat, so she couldn't help asking.
"This pastry tastes good, but Erchen doesn't like to eat these sweets recently, the queen mother seems to like it, Erchen will also make some pastries, another day, Erchen will make some for the queen mother to taste!" I can make a lot, such as biscuits, moon cakes, cakes, more or less I can still make them, and I don't have any ingredients in this palace.
"Oh? Unexpectedly, Le'er's cooking skills are still very good, and the smoothie made some time ago tastes very good, I don't know how this pastry will be. When the queen heard this, she was really interested.
"When the time comes, the queen mother will taste it and know." I'm mysterious.
"Then the queen mother is waiting, you girl, ghostly, anything can make people refresh!" The queen laughed.
"Sister Princess Yan, Lan Xinhui, we're far away. It's time to give us a long insight! Princess Jin also praised her.
"The imperial sisters-in-law have an overreputation, and the little trick of the concubines can't get into your eyes." I said modestly.
Ask the queen to come back, I was studying how to make the cake, although the ingredients are available, but there is no rice cooker, microwave oven, I can only use something else, it is still a little troublesome.
"Xu Qi, go and prepare eggs and flour for me, sugar, I want to make pastries." I instructed Xu Qi to find the ingredients, and then I started looking for a substitute for the rice cooker.
After lunch, when everything was finally ready, I clapped my hands and wanted to try my hand at it.
Stirring the eggs and thinking to myself, it seems that I still have something to do, and this day is just a little more fulfilling.
Xu Qi and I fiddled with Zhi'er in our small kitchen for a long time, and finally the first cake came out, Xu Qi looked at the cake, sniffed it and said, "Miss, what is this pastry called?" It smells so good! ”
"What do you think?" I asked her with a smile.
"You took eggs, and milk, flour, sugar, for the ingredients, this kind of pastry, this is the first time I've seen it, I really don't know what it's called?" Xu Qi looked at it.
"I've never seen such a fragrant, big piece of pastry." Zhi'er was also on the side to meet the Tao.
"It's called a cake, how about you taste it?" I let Xu Qi and Zhi'er taste it.
Xu Qi tasted it, and then said in a deep silence for a long time: "Miss, this taste is extremely soft, with a sweet taste in the fragrance, which is a taste I have never tasted." ”
"Well, it's soft and chewy, but it's not sweet enough." Zhi'er finished taking a bite and then took another bite.
I frowned when I heard this, and took a bite myself, huh? It's light, it's not enough sugar, and the eggs aren't fully raised.
"Redo!" I dropped two words, and then I buried my head and started to start over.
