Chapter 203 (1/2)
203 Business trip (1)
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t stay in the second princess’s Manor for long. He had to patrol the streets in the afternoon, so he left.
The framed man was reluctant to leave and frowned, “”Xu ningyan, I can talk to my Imperial father and ask you to take up a post in the palace and be my guard.”
What kind of future is there to be your guard? You really want me to work like a horse … “Your Highness, I still have some ambitions,” Xu Qi ‘an said helplessly.
Obviously, working for the princess was not as good as working for Wei Yuan. Emperor Yuan jing doted on her because she was good at throwing tantrums and acting coquettishly, and also because she was innocent, cute, and had no schemes.
For someone like Princess huaiqing, if she wanted to help her confidant ascend the throne, she had to find an opportunity, such as the Sang Bo case. The other princes were the same.
Xu Qi ‘an had seen through Emperor Yuan jing when he failed to ask Emperor Yuan jing to spare his life.
“Second Princess, why do you have to do this? I’m just a little Night watchman.” Xu Qian said,”we’re not suitable.”
“The others aren’t as interesting as you. You’re so nervous when you talk to me.” Lin ‘an pouted his little mouth and swung his feet, ”
“I don’t like to read, I can’t play the zither, go, calligraphy, or painting, so I’m bored to death in the palace. When I was young, brother Crown Prince would play with me, but now whenever I go to find him, he would frown and always say that there’s something important to do.”
What a pitiful Princess, she was like a Canary in a gorgeous cage … But wasn’t Princess huaiqing free to come and go as she pleased … Xu Qi ‘an thought about it and figured it out.
Huaiqing was the kind of strong woman who could conquer the world by herself if she was given three thousand troops. She was very knowledgeable and very capable. Among Emperor Yuan jing’s children, there was almost no one who could compare to huaiqing in talent and skill.
Lin ‘an was different. She was an unruly and willful little princess. She did not have any schemes and was easily deceived by people with Wolf’s ambitions.
Xu Qi ‘an automatically removed himself from the list of ” wolves with wild ambitions.
“This is actually very simple. The princess can just move back to her own residence. The Imperial City is more interesting than the palace.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
Lin an was a Princess with a title and had her own residence in the Imperial City.
“Then come to the an residence to see me tomorrow.” The framed man said.
The princess of Lin an rushed to the jingxiu Palace in a palanquin before the afternoon meal. Today, noble Consort Chen had sent people to inform her son and daughter, and invited them to the jingxiu Palace for a meal.
During the meal, the Crown Prince was eating the delicacies that noble Consort Chen had carefully prepared. He suddenly said, “”I heard from the servants in the palace that Wei Yuan had given the Empress a secret formula to cure her anorexia.”
Noble Consort Chen smiled and said, ” there is such a thing. It seems to be called … Chicken spirit? I’ve heard that if you add a little when cooking, the taste will be unforgettable.”
The Crown Prince could see noble Consort Chen’s desire. if you want to try it, I’ll ask the Empress for some.
“I heard that Princess huaiqing went to ask for it, but the Empress didn’t even give it to her,” said noble Consort Chen with a smile.
The mother and son were instantly helpless.
The princess of Lin an looked at her mother and older brother and asked for confirmation,”Is it called chicken spirit?”
The Crown Prince looked at her. you’ve heard about it too? ”
The heartless Lin ‘an did not have the time to pay attention to the Harem’s news. He shook his head and said,”Xu ningyan gave me something today. It’s called chicken spirit.”
“Go back to the palace and get it for me,” she called her maidservant over.
A quarter of an hour later, the servant girl returned, panting heavily. She brought back the porcelain bottle that she had left in the manor.
The Crown Prince took the porcelain bottle first, opened the wooden stopper, and sniffed it. He smelled a slightly pungent umami, but he couldn’t understand the magic of this item just by smelling it.
“Get the kitchen to heat up these dishes and add this … Chicken spirit, let’s have a taste?”
The crown prince’s suggestion was approved by his mother and sister.
After a short while, the palace maid came back with the hot dishes. The mother and son did not eat, but looked at the palace maid.
The palace maid first used a silver needle to test for the poison, then took the bowl and chopsticks and tried them one by one. After eating all the dishes, the Crown Prince saw that her eyes clearly showed that she wanted more, but she didn’t dare to eat too much. She stared at the dishes reluctantly.
After waiting for a moment and seeing that the palace maid was fine, the Crown Prince urged, “”Give bengong a bowl of soft-shelled turtle soup.”
The palace maid ladled the soup and said with a smile,”Your Highness has good taste. The taste of this soup is unforgettable.”
The Crown Prince impatiently took it and tasted it. He praised, “”It has a different taste … Consort mother, Lin ‘an, try it, quickly try it. ”
Noble Consort Chen hadn’t seen the Crown Prince so happy for a long time, so she was happy.
Lin ‘an had already started cooking. She didn’t eat the soft-shelled turtle soup, but picked up a mouthful of vegetables. As she chewed, she unconsciously picked up a second mouthful, a third mouthful …
After lunch, noble Consort Chen, who had not seen her children eat so happily for a long time, was very happy.
this is good stuff. It’s just a small bottle … How much energy does the chef of the Imperial Kitchen have to spend to achieve this?” The Crown Prince sighed and kept the bottle in his sleeve.
The mounted man’s eyes widened and he pounced over, grabbing the crown prince’s sleeve tightly, his eyebrows raised, “”It’s mine!”
isn’t xu Qi ‘an your man? you can just ask him for more. “Let go,” the Crown Prince said righteously.
“I won’t let go. This is mine.”
The brother and sister couldn’t argue, so they looked for noble Consort Chen to judge. Noble Consort Chen was angry and amused at the same time.”How old are you, still acting like a child? If you want Imperial mother to say it, then it’s only fair to stay here with Imperial mother.”
“…..”The Crown Prince and Lin ‘an turned back and continued to argue.
…..
“It turns out that Xu ningyan’s gift to me is so valuable.” He sat in the sedan chair and played with the porcelain bottle that only had one-third of the chicken essence left.
