Chapter 207: Fate is inseparable
Song Qian had no choice but to stop and watched Ji Changye pick up the firewood on the ground. Song Qian was distressed when he saw the firewood tearing the sleeves of his silk coat, but he didn't care who made Ji Changye rich, so Song Qian couldn't say anything.
"Lord Wang, let's leave these rough jobs to my subordinates. My subordinates are the best at making fires." After Changfeng walked in and saw this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the firewood in Ji Changye's hand, sat down and started to light a fire.
Ji Changye didn't stop it, it just so happened that he had more energy to talk to Song Qian, it seemed that it was time for him to find an opportunity to reward Changfeng.
Song Qian brought out the prepared noodles, although she didn't eat much because of her politeness when she was in Ji Hanshuang's mansion, but now she is full of worries and has no appetite.
Ji Changye saw her thoughts, so he said, "Song Niangzi, if you have anything to worry about, just tell me and Changfeng, maybe there is something I can do to help you."
Looking at his expectant eyes, Song Qianyu couldn't bear to say comfort: "I don't have anything to do, don't worry, prince." By the way, the prince, after two days of palace banquet, what does the prince have planned?" It stands to reason that Ji Changye is bound to participate in a banquet of this level, so Song Qian is worried.
"It's just a small thing, what's there to worry about? But ......"
After all, Ji Changye is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, so he doesn't have anything to worry about the banquet, but when he saw Song Qian's worried look, Ji Changye became nervous, but he was more worried about whether Song Qian would have an accident at the palace banquet.
Sure enough, only if she hadn't experienced these things did she seem worried, Song Qian couldn't help but think. At this time, she could better realize what this imperial capital meant to her, so she wanted to return to Su Louzhen's mood even stronger.
Ji Changye realized that he might have said the wrong thing, but fortunately stopped in time. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Song Qian hurriedly said as if he had thought of something, "Lord Wang, where is the ingot?"
"Don't worry, Mrs. Song, Yuan Bao is now in the Jin Palace, and the Jin King didn't take him out to play." Changfeng suddenly poked his head out and said, and Song Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Now she can always rest assured.
Because they had to wait for the water to boil, Song Qian and Ji Changye went out of the kitchen first and waited outside.
Looking at the narrow world divided by the walls of the square courtyard, Song Qian hesitated and said what he had been thinking about for many days: "Lord, I want to go back to Sulou Town after the palace banquet."
"Song Niangzi, is there anything important?" Ji Changye's face changed suddenly, and he asked worriedly.
Song Qian shook his head and continued to explain, "Don't think about it, Lord Wang, I want to go back because the business of the shop has been delayed for too long, and I am afraid that the old customers who have accumulated so hard will not come in the future. The second is because ...... I still think there are too many intrigues in this imperial capital."
She has only been here for a few days, and she has innocently provoked many people, and they are all extraordinary people, and now they don't know the relationship between Yuan Bao and her, so they can only calculate her, if they know the relationship between them after a long time, as long as they do something wrong, wouldn't they just push Yuan Bao and themselves into the fire pit?
"So Lord, no matter if you want to stay here after the palace banquet, I will go back with the ingots. The wealth of the imperial capital is charming, but this wealth makes me feel terrified, and I am afraid that if I stay longer, I will even have to take my life into it. If it's a farewell this time, I hope we'll see each other in the future." Although Song Qian was a little reluctant in his heart, he still said these words ruthlessly.
After all, Ji Changye is the regent prince, and he will assist the prince to succeed to the throne in the future, when he was poisoned and left the imperial capital and disappeared for many years, this prince is about to be established as the prince when he appears, I am afraid that people will be misunderstood to seek power, so the emperor will also take care of these and leave him behind, so as not to do what Ji Changye will do in secret.
This is his difficulty, but even if Song Qian sympathizes with him, he can only wish him good luck, and there is no way to help him.
Ji Changye had actually guessed that Song Qian would say this, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly, and he didn't expect it. So in a panic, he replied calmly: "If Song Niangzi wants to leave, I naturally didn't stop it
The truth. When the time comes, I will send a few secret guards to follow Song Niangzi to protect Song Niangzi and Yuanbao."
As Song Qian thought, even if the palace banquet is over, Ji Changye can't leave here as soon as possible, after all, many of the previous troubles have not been solved, and staying is a worry.
The atmosphere between the two was as cold as this cold moon.
The appearance of Changfenghe's matter informed Song Qianshui that the water was boiling, and Song Qiancai could use an excuse to escape from this embarrassing scene.
"Lord Wang, it's cold and windy outside, so it's better to go in." Changfeng came to dissuade Ji Changye worriedly.
Ji Changye looked at the swaying dead branches not far away and asked, "Changfeng, do you say that this king and Song Niangzi are really inseparable?" Otherwise, why did God let them know each other, but set up many obstacles, and finally fell to the point of separation?
Changfeng didn't know what happened here just now, and thought it was Ji Changye's cranky thoughts, so he opened his mouth to comfort and said, "Lord Wang, you and Song Niangzi are a pair made in heaven, how can you say that there is no fate? Look, isn't Song Niangzi standing in front of you now?"
Speaking of what Changfeng said, Ji Changye looked at the busy figure in the kitchen and muttered, "But what I want is not to see each other across the shore."
On the day of the palace banquet.
Before dawn, He Yujin came to the Regent's Mansion with the sleepy ingots, and Song Qian was also nervously dressing himself up at this time.
"The palace banquet has become more and more boring in recent years, and the queen mother and queen don't allow it everywhere, and they erase the fun of the banquet." He Yujin drank hot tea and said with a sigh.
If it weren't for the two of them being squeamish and not allowed to do this and that, and giving birth to so many rules, He Yujin would definitely be the first person to go to the palace, but now he is reluctant to go.
Ji Changye was waiting for Song Qian, and chatted with He Yujin when he had nothing to do, "You, why are you still so open-mouthed when you go back to Dijing? If the Queen Mother and the Queen are to hear this, I'm afraid they will have to take the board."
"I didn't say anything wrong. That's it, I know, otherwise I would have to say these things in front of you. I've been like this for so many years, Brother Ji, don't you know." I don't know why, He Yujin is not dealing with the Queen Mother and the Queen, this may be the disagreement between the eight characters in their mouths, and they are fated to make a mistake.
Ji Changye knew that he was still measured outside, so he didn't say much, because at this time he was already looking at the road of the pedestrians opposite.
He Yujin knew what he was waiting for, so he said, "Brother Ji, I just went to see it, and this Song lady will be able to finish her makeup soon. Don't be in such a hurry, you can see you sooner or later, right?"
Seeing that his careful thoughts were exposed, Ji Changye panicked and quibbled: "Nonsense, where am I looking at Song Niangzi? By the way, have you been urging Yuanbao to read these days?" As a last resort, Ji Changye suddenly thought of this stubble, and instantly reversed the direction of the wind.
He Yujin was speechless, so he had to give up and said, "I know that I can't fight you, these few yen treasures have their own studies, and they don't need me to supervise them. This is very similar to you." He remembered that when he came to pester Ji Changye as a child, he was reading, and for a while he tried his best to hide Ji Changye's books so that he could play with him.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Bao lived with him for a period of time, and he was assimilated exactly the same.
When Ji Changye heard this, his heart suddenly became strange, and what he thought was naturally different from that of He Yujin, but he didn't say it.
Song Qian has already dressed up.
After repeatedly promising with Yujin that he would be optimistic about Yuanbao, Song Qian agreed to let Yuanbao go with him, so they got into the carriage and went to the palace together.
After entering the palace, Song Qian went straight to the imperial dining room and began to prepare.
Ji Changye, He Yujin and Yuan Bao came to the back garden to meet the emperor and the queen mother first, and then when they were about to leave, Xiao Xirou suddenly came over and saw Yuan Bao, so she pretended to be kind and took Yuan Bao's hand and said, "Presumably this is Song Niangzi's child, and Song Niangzi really looks alike." As he spoke, he handed a piece of delicate dim sum in front of Yuanbao.
Yuan Bao took it out of courtesy, and after saluting, he said, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
He Yujin was afraid that Xiao Xirou would be uneasy and kind
, so he excused himself: "Queen Mother, Yuanbao, this child is afraid of life." As he spoke, he pulled Yuan Bao beside him, for fear that Xiao Xirou would do something in the next moment.
Xiao Xirou couldn't have a seizure, so she could only smile awkwardly: "It's normal for such a young child to be afraid of life, he hasn't met the Queen Mother and His Majesty yet, right?" She was really right, because Ji Changye didn't want the ingots to appear in their field of vision, and was afraid of causing trouble, so even if Xiao Xirou opened her mouth now, they wouldn't take the ingots with them.
"This child is going to be sent to the grandmothers to take care of, and now the Queen Mother and the Emperor are still entangled in important matters, so I won't bother them. Is there something about the queen mother's coming? If there is nothing to do, this king and the prince of Jin will go first." Ji Changye didn't have the leisure to play with her, so he couldn't wait to leave.
Xiao Xirou was deflated by the two of them, and it would be more embarrassing to continue without it, so the two of them left with an excuse.
At the same time, in the imperial dining room.
The chef in charge of the work suddenly came over and said anxiously to Song Qian, "Mrs. Song, there is a problem with the ingredients."
After hearing this, Song Qian hurriedly followed, and found that they needed a lot less fresh vegetables, and if they were served as dishes, they would definitely be condemned by the emperor.
Therefore, the talents in the imperial dining room are in a hurry.
Song Qian and the head chef were very calm.
"Mrs. Song, Your Majesty has asked you to be in charge of this banquet, so please give you an idea what to do, right? It's just that if you go out to find ingredients now, it's definitely too late, so is there any other way?" The chef said.
After pondering for a moment, Song Qian made a risky decision: "There is no need to look for the missing ingredients, the existing ones are enough for this banquet, so we will use these to do it." The difficulty was to think of several different ways to do it, and to make the taste and texture different, so it was a challenge.
And if it is discovered, it will be condemned, but this is also a way that there is no way now.
Others can only gamble after hearing this.
Without delay, under the leadership of Song Qian, they quickly set out.
A figure sneakily came out of the back door of the imperial dining room, came to a remote place in the back garden, and said to Geng Lanyin and Zhao Liuyin here, "Miss, Miss Zhao. The ingredients they need have been tampered with, and they have not been discovered."
