The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

Just as Baoqin came in with her breakfast in hand, she asked curiously, "What is Niangniang mumbling about?"

"It's nothing," Xiao Xixi moved her nose, "It's so fragrant, what delicious food did you make?"

Baoqin put a plate of noodles in front of her.

The noodles are covered with a thick layer of Sai crab.

This is what Xiao Xixi brought back from Yinyue Villa last night, and Baoqin added it to the noodles.

This noodle is kneaded by Baoqin. It is very glutinous and chewy. It is even more fragrant after being boiled in chicken broth. Mixed with crab, it is so fresh that one almost swallowed the tongue.

Xiao Xixi took a big bite.

With such a delicious meal, I feel refreshed all day long!

She had just finished eating when Yao Zhaoxun came.

As soon as Yao Zhaoxun entered the door, she smelled the scent of the food remaining in the air, she bowed and said with a smile.

"What good food did the lady just eat? It smells really good."

Xiao Xixi motioned for her to sit, and replied casually, "I just ate the noodles."

After Yao Zhaoxun sat down, Baoqin brought tea.

Xiao Xixi greeted Yao Zhaoxun to eat.

Yao Zhaoxun responded, but did not dare to move the food in front of her. She just drank a sip of tea and chatted with Concubine Xiao.

"The weather is nice outside today, why doesn't the lady go out for a walk? The chrysanthemums are blooming just right recently, but they are beautiful."

Xiao Xixi has no interest in viewing flowers, she nibbled melon seeds and replied casually, "Let's talk about it."

Yao Zhaoxun was not surprised by her reaction.

Everyone in the East Palace knows that Concubine Xiao does not like to move, and she usually seldom goes out unless necessary.

Yao Zhaoxun changed the subject and talked about another matter.

"Do you still remember Qin Fengyi? Since she was imprisoned in the Lengxiang Tower, her life has not been as good as before. Not only did she have no one to serve, but even the food she used was the worst. If it weren't for the Queen Mother I send people to look after her from time to time, I'm afraid she'll be tossed to death long ago."

Xiao Xixi asked curiously, "Who tossed her?"

Yao Zhaoxun covered his mouth with a fan, and said in a standard melon-eating tone: "Who else could it be? Not only Concubine Li and Duan Liangdi! These two people hate Qin Fengyi to death, although they are still on foot restraint. , I can't go out for the time being, but their identities are still there. In the end, they are much stronger than a little Fengyi who was put into the cold palace. As long as they say a word, even if they don't show up, the people below will find a way to toss Qin Fengyi. , let her have a bad life."

Xiao Xixi said clearly: "So that's how it is."

Yao Zhaoxun asked curiously, "Don't you want to take revenge?"

"Vengeance for what?"

"Then Qin Fengyi had someone push you into the river before, which almost killed you. Don't you want to settle this account?"

Yao Zhaoxun came here because he wanted to know about it.

There is nothing wrong with her, she just loves to gossip.

Since Qin Fengyi was imprisoned in Lengxianglou, Yao Zhaoxun went to wander around Lengxianglou when he had nothing to do, wanting to eat melons and watch a play.

These days, she has seen the people sent by Concubine Li and Duan Liangdi, and the people around Empress Qin, but she has not seen Concubine Xiao.

It stands to reason that Concubine Xiao, like Concubine Li and Duan Liangdi, are all victims, but Concubine Xiao is like nothing, and has never seen her take revenge, which makes Yao Zhaoxun extremely curious.

No, she ran to Qingge Hall early in the morning, wanting to inquire about Concubine Xiao's thoughts.

Xiao Xixi spat out the skin of the melon seeds in his mouth, and replied casually: "It's okay, although Qin Fengyi wanted to hurt me, I wasn't hurt. Besides, Qin Fengyi has already been punished, so why should I go to hell again? ?"

Yao Zhaoxun thought she was speaking politely, and followed up with a few words of flattery.

"Niang Niang is really high-spirited, tolerant and generous, and she deserves to be the person that His Royal Highness looks up to."

She followed up with some other gossip in the palace.

For example, Chen Liangyuan often ran to Wanhe Palace recently, and it seemed that she was hugging the thigh of Concubine Jing.

Another example is that the Golden Wind Palace has been lit late at night these days. I heard that it was because Concubine Li was staying up late copying scriptures.

And Concubine Bai seems to be ill again, and has called an imperial physician several times.

...

Xiao Xixi listened quietly most of the time, occasionally responding.

Yao Zhaoxun said that his mouth was almost dry before he stopped.

Seeing that it was getting late, she got up to leave and left the Qingge Hall.

In the afternoon, she had to go somewhere else to chat with other concubines about the latest gossip.

Baoqin sighed while cleaning up the tea cups and melon seed peels on the table: "This Yao Zhaoxun can really talk, it seems that she knows everything in this palace."

Xiao Xixi thought to herself, if Yao Zhaoxun was put into modern times, he would be a proper gossip paparazzi.

At noon, the prince came to Qingge Hall and had lunch with Xiao Xixi.

Xiao Xixi looked at him with an expectant look.

"Your Highness, can you give your concubine a fat sheep?"

Luo Qinghan: "Do you want to eat mutton?"

Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Mmmm! I really want to eat!"

"Wait for someone to give you a message, and someone should bring the mutton to you in the afternoon."

Xiao Xixi was immediately happy: "It's great!"

She turned her head and shouted at Baoqin.

"I'm going to eat roast whole lamb tonight!"

Baoqin was cutting fruit in the small kitchen at the moment, when she heard the words, she was very surprised: "Where did the sheep come from?"

Xiao Xixi: "His Royal Highness rewarded!"

While sighing that the prince really doted on Concubine Xiao, Baoqin replied, "I'll make roasted whole lamb for you at night."

Thinking of being able to eat delicious roast whole lamb at night, Xiao Xixi was so happy that she ate five bowls of rice in a row!

After eating and drinking, Xiao Xixi and the prince went to take a nap together.

When Xiao Xixi woke up, the prince had already left.

Baoqin came in and waited on her to get dressed.

Xiao Xixi finished grooming, walked out of the bedroom, and saw Qingsong walking over.

"Niangniang, the mutton has been delivered."

Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up, she walked into the kitchen quickly, saw the mutton that had been stripped and cleaned, and hurriedly called Baoqin.

"Roast whole lamb roast whole lamb! Hurry up and bake it!"

Baoqin said helplessly: "It's still too early for dinner, and the servants still need to prepare some seasonings. Don't worry, go and play for a while."

Xiao Xixi turned around and left the small kitchen one step at a time, her face full of reluctance.

When the sun was about to set, Baoqin asked people to set up a fire in the backyard.

She cooked the marinated lamb over the fire.

Xiao Xixi squatted beside him and kept exhorting.

"Remember to put more cumin and chilli."

The lamb was roasted to the point of sizzling oil, and the aroma permeated the backyard.

As soon as the prince stepped into the Qingge Hall, he could smell the strong aroma of meat.

He followed the scent to the backyard.

Baoqin hurriedly stopped what she was doing and greeted the prince.

Xiao Xixi moved his longing eyes away from Roast Quanyang, and said excitedly to the prince.

"His Royal Highness is just right, and the roasted whole sheep will be ready soon!"
