Chapter 13: Such a heroic appearance

The next moment, the prince entered the hall.

Jiang Shishi's master and servant stood up to greet each other, "The concubine didn't know that His Royal Highness was coming, and she was disappointed." ”

Chunxing: "......" Xiao's main thing is to remove his makeup later, even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes early, you can see the beautiful appearance of the little master when he applies makeup.

Jiang Shishi: "......" rarely spends a lot of money to improve the food, the prince is actually here, do you want to keep him to eat together?

Before Jiang Shishi could speak, Chun Xing warmly invited, "My little master is having a meal, if Your Highness doesn't dislike it, do you want to have some food together?" ”

Pei Xuanling glanced at the meal on the table and nodded slightly, which was agreed.

Jiang Shishi: "......" my roast duck!

Soon, Jiang Shishi and the crown prince sat facing each other.

The eunuchs beside the prince tested the poison on the side.

After testing the poison, the prince moved his chopsticks, and Jiang Shishi couldn't wait to enjoy the food.

In her own yard, Jiang Shishi didn't care so much, just let go of eating.

During the meal, Pei Xuanling inadvertently looked up and saw Jiang Meiren stuffing a whole duck leg into her mouth.

The cherry mouth actually has an amazing chewing power, and the teeth grind and bite two or three times at will, and when it comes out, there is only one bone left, only the cheeks are bulging.

Suddenly, except for Chunxing, everyone present was stunned!

It's the first time I've seen such a heroic concubine!!

Pei Xuanling was also stunned for a moment, "Eat slowly, the other duck leg is also yours." ”

After Huang Dechang heard this, he also gave another duck leg to Jiang Meiren.

"Oh......" Jiang Shishi replied vaguely, puffing out her cheeks and chewing duck legs.

Then, when Pei Xuanling looked up again, he saw the woman opposite swallowing the other duck leg in one gulp.

When it came out, there was only one bone left.

However, she did listen to him, and chewed a little slower than before.

Huang Dechang: "......" This Jiang beauty is really not polite at all.

However, although Jiang Meiren is heroic, she is not rude, nor is she chirping.

How to say it... When I watched her eat, I felt that this table of food must be delicious, and I would have an appetite for it.

Only... It's worth eating!

Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have eaten two bowls of rice with him.

Pei Xuanling rarely eats in the harem, and occasionally eats at other concubines, and some concubines don't eat after a few bites.

There are also concubines who don't eat a mouthful of food, just watch him eat.

Today is the first time to eat at Jiang Meiren's place, she is different from other concubines, not only does she eat a lot, but she also eats very fragrant.

Let him also improve his appetite and eat more.

After eating two bowls of rice, Pei Xuanling put down the dishes and chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

The maid quickly brought water, and he washed his hands.

At the same time, Jiang Shishi was also full and cleaned her hands under the service of Chunxing.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Shishi asked about the matter, "Your Highness came to me today, but is there something?" ”

I heard that the prince rarely stops in the harem, so there must be something wrong with coming here today?

Pei Xuanling didn't speak, just glanced at Huang Dechang behind him.

Huang Dechang stepped forward, "Uh... The emperor ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to receive the envoys, and His Royal Highness had just taken over the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was in charge of the ceremony and the reception of foreign guests. ”

"At that time, His Royal Highness will not only be busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, but also take the envoys to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of my dynasty, and it is indispensable to ride horses and archery to walk around, so hard, it is impossible to do without a pair of comfortable good shoes."

Speaking of this, Huang Dechang looked up at Jiang Shishi, "The boots that Jiang Meiren gave to His Highness last time were very comfortable, but unfortunately they were cut by assassins, you see... Can you make two more pairs for His Highness and let His Highness wear them differently? ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shishi's eyes moved slightly, and she fell into deep thought.

She remembered that it was written in the original book that during the period when envoys from other countries went to Beijing to pay tribute, the prince encountered a lot of troubles, and dangers followed......

"Jiang Meiren, Jiang Meiren ......" Huang Dechang called softly.

Jiang Shishi came back to her senses at this time.

Huang reminded her: "Those boots... Can you still do it? ”

Jiang Shishi: "I can do it, but I can't do needlework." ”

Huang Dechang: "But the boots you gave His Highness last time were very good." ”

"To tell you the truth, my needlework is so-so, and the shoes last time were made of spring apricots." Jiang Shishi's needlework is really not good, only a truthful showdown.

Huang Dechang: "......" is still as sincere as ever.

Unlike some concubines, even if they can't do the embroidery, they will let the palace maid do it for them, anyway, no one knows.

Chun Xing helped Yuanhua: "Although I sewed the boots, the drawings were drawn by my little master, and I just sewed them according to the drawings." ”

Huang Dechang looked at the prince with embarrassment, "Your Highness, do you want Miss Chunxing to sew boots for you?" ”

Pei Xuanling: "No need. ”

Although the prince said that there was no need, Huang Dechang thought about his master, and after pondering for a while, he tried to say: "I wonder if Jiang Meiren can hand over the drawings to the slave?" ”

Jiang Shishi: "It's okay. ”

Huang Dechang: "......" didn't expect Jiang Meiren to agree so quickly.

If this is replaced by the concubine next to her, I would like to sew boots for His Highness by hand.

Jiang Meiren said that she was not good at embroidery, so she gave this great opportunity to others?

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shishi asked Chun Xing to prepare a pen and paper and began to write.

She wasn't interested in sewing and mending, and wished that someone would do it for her and Chunxing and help the prince sew boots.

In her previous life, the clothing trade was also one of her family's businesses, and clothing included shoes.

During this time, Jiang Shishi found that the princes and nobles of the Eastern Liang Kingdom may be particular about cloth in terms of shoes.

Pay attention to fine embroidery, using the finest satin or gold and silver thread.

There's even a tassel on the upper of the shoe, set with gemstones!

But there's not much focus on comfort.

And the shoes she made for the prince last time, except for the silver wire in the middle, the rest of the materials were made according to her family's best-selling shoes.

Many people say that the shoes are soft and elastic, and they feel comfortable to, and they don't want to wear other shoes after wearing them.

No, in ancient times, even the crown prince was no exception!

After a while, Jiang Shishi wrote down the materials, dimensions, and precautions and handed them to Huang Dechang.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the paper teaches people how to make winter boots, but also how to make summer shoes.

Huang Dechang took the rice paper, only to see that it was written that the upper was made of cowhide, the shoes were made of natural rubber, and a circle of rabbit down was sewn into the boots.

The materials are so exquisite, no wonder they have been affirmed by His Highness in a short period of time.

After getting the shoe formula, the prince didn't stay long and left with someone.

Out of Shiyue Pavilion, he sat on the light chariot and asked Huang Dechang in a low voice: "How much silver is a roast duck in the palace?" ”

Huang Dechang was clear about everything in the palace, and replied without thinking: "Last year it was fifty-five taels, and at the beginning of this year it rose to sixty taels." ”

Pei Xuanling: "How much does Jiang Meiren pay every month?" ”

"The monthly salary plus food and clothing is about six taels of silver."

Pei Xuanling asked again: "How much does Jiang Meiren's father earn a year?" ”
