Chapter 449 There is still a lifetime, you can wait slowly
Not long after, Xie Xun came over with slices of tender lamb and lamb legs coated with good ingredients.
The leg of lamb needs to be roasted slowly, and the servants have already set up the fire.
He threaded the leg of lamb on the iron hook in a few moments, and told his servants not to keep watch.
Then he moved the stool to the side of the lamb leg, preparing to cook the lamb and roast the lamb leg from time to time.
After setting up the roasted leg of lamb, he picked up a handkerchief from the table and wiped his hands clean, but the mutton smelled bad. No matter how he wiped it, there was always a faint smell on his hands.
"Just wait, I'm going to wash my hands so that the aroma of the wine won't be tainted when I pour the wine later."
Qin Rushuang held him down.
"No, I'll pour the wine for the prince. Besides, the prince has sent all the servants away. I'll have to trouble you to turn over the roasted lamb later. Even if I pass the exam, I still have to trouble the prince to cut the meat from above. I don't want to do it.
.”
Xie Xun thought about it for a while, so he gave up and let Qin Rushuang take out the wine glass and slowly pour two cups of pear blossom white into the wine glass.
The moonlight is good tonight, and with the coals burning nearby, the view is not too dark.
Qin Rushuang's technique of pouring wine was good. People say that wine is full of wine, so she poured two glasses of wine to the fullest without overflowing.
Under the illumination of the moonlight and firelight, the bouquet of plum blossoms above the head was faintly printed on the mouth of the cup.
Qin Rushuang looked up and realized that this year's wintersweet season was almost over, and she hadn't even had a chance to appreciate the flowers.
"With the weather this year, it's not yet the Chinese New Year, so the wintersweet is almost past its flowering period..." Qin Rushuang said with a hint of regret in her tone.
Xie Xun said: "The climate this year is a little abnormal. Winter comes early and goes quickly. When the temperature goes up, the wintersweet should fall. When the wintersweet falls and new buds come out, there will be green leaves to enjoy, and it will be a new scenery."
Qin Rushuang glanced at the wintersweet next to her and sighed in a low voice: "This wintersweet was planted for me to enjoy, and it bloomed for me. I didn't take a good look at it, but I let it down that it bloomed so prosperously this year."
Xie Xun took a sip of the wine and said, "Isn't it withered yet? If you can take a look at it, it won't be in vain this year."
The chef chose this sheep very well, and the mutton was very tender. Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang ate a large plate of it without even realizing it, under the moonlight and fine wine.
Until his nose was filled with the aroma of barbecue, Xie Xun stood up, took a piece of it with a small razor blade and tasted it.
"You can eat the roasted leg of lamb too. Pass the plate and I'll slice some."
Smelling the spicy and fragrant smell, Qin Rushuang's mouth secreted a rare drool.
I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time since I returned to Beijing. When it was brought to the table, I always felt that it was a bit lacking in flavor. It didn't have the chewy texture of freshly grilled meat.
In line with the principle of not wasting, and because it was too late to eat, the two of them finished cooking the mutton that Xie Xun brought, and also finished the entire roasted leg of lamb.
After eating, Qin Rushuang gently touched her lower abdomen, which was a little bulging. She couldn't help but stand up and take two steps, thinking it was for digestion.
"Speaking of which, it was like this last winter too. I almost overstuffed myself eating mutton with the prince, and it's the same today."
A faint smile appeared on Xie Xun's face.
Yes, more than a year has passed in a flash.
It was just that in the early winter of last year, he had not yet clearly understood his own intentions.
I just vaguely felt that his feelings for Qin Rushuang were very conflicting.
Because Qin Fanghao provoked her, he was disgusted with her, but he couldn't help but follow his own heart and developed an unreasonable affection for her.
It was now the end of winter again. Over the past year or so, he and Qin Rushuang had gone through so much. What remained unchanged was the feeling in their hearts.
No...that feeling has also changed.
From a vague good impression, it turned into an unswerving love to stay with her for the rest of his life.
Xie Xun was lost in thought. Qin Rushuang had already walked around in the garden several times.
"It's a nice night tonight, but it's time to rest. I plan to go to the Rouge Shop to see Gu Meiren again tomorrow."
Hearing Gu Meiren's name, Xie Xun raised his head.
Qin Rushuang looked at his expression and quickly stretched out her hand to interrupt: "Your Majesty, Gu Meiren and I are good sisters, and Zhu Sha is your general. I am here to bring them together. Your Majesty, you don't have to look like this, it seems a bit...
…”
Qin Rushuang thought for a while and slowly said the words in her mouth.
"It seems a bit stingy."
Xie Xun simply broke the pot and said, "I'm just stingy. I don't want you to be close to other people, whether you are a man or a woman, but..."
Xie Xun pursed his lips and said, "I know that I am not qualified to ask you to take into account my feelings, but I should always let you know my feelings."
Qin Rushuang smiled and did not answer his words, leaving Xie Xun with a handsome back.
After she took a few steps, she suddenly raised her hand and waved her hand and said, "If you don't like it, let's talk about it later. I'll have to trouble the prince to clean up the yard today."
Xie Xun watched her back slowly go away in a daze, and finally turned around and disappeared from his sight.
He looked at the finished wine and completely eaten food, and suddenly smiled lightly.
Although Qin Rushuang didn't agree to him today, she didn't refuse either.
Let’s talk about it later...
Don't be afraid, he still has a lifetime to wait until this "future".
On the second day, Qin Rushuang did not get up late because she went to bed late the day before. On the contrary, she woke up quite early and went to see the baby for a while in high spirits.
Seeing that the child was in good spirits, and after helping him walk a few steps, Qin Rushuang asked the old housekeeper how the preparations for the child's first birthday party were going.
The old housekeeper took out a list and checked it with Qin Rushuang one by one, and then said: "By the way, yesterday the palace sent a message, saying that Your Majesty wanted to ask whether this first-year banquet... would be held in Prince Huai's Mansion or in the palace.
?”
Qin Rushuang said to the housekeeper without even thinking, "Since it is a celebration for my father, it is natural to go to the palace to do it. The bigger the event, the better. These are the items on the list that we are going to bring to the palace. These are personal items."
,I’m afraid of those in the palace..."
Before she finished speaking, the old housekeeper naturally understood what he meant and nodded quickly.
"Old slave understands. The things we need to catch Zhou Zhou are all prepared by ourselves in our house. There are also several sets of clothes that the little emperor grandson will change into that day, as well as the bowls and spoons he uses when eating, all of which are made by
We'll take it there. The people in the palace have told us about the venue and the like, and His Majesty will send someone to take care of it."
In fact, Emperor Qi himself also hoped that the grandson's first birthday banquet could be held in the palace.
It's just that he and Qin Rushuang had some unpleasantness before because of the little emperor's grandson's first-year banquet. Considering Qin Rushuang's temper and temperament, he didn't default to holding it in the palace without authorization. He still asked someone to ask, which was considered a slap in the face.
Qin Rushuang originally hoped that through the baby's first birthday party, Xie Xun would appear in the courtiers' sight. Of course, there was another reason...
At this first birthday party, she would take Mu Duo to find an opportunity to take Emperor Qi's pulse to see how long his body could last.
She didn't believe the time given by the imperial doctor, but she still believed in Mu Duo's medical skills.
Thinking of this, Qin Rushuang walked to the cabinet and opened the secret compartment.
Lying quietly inside was a bottle of medicine, which was the life-sustaining elixir given by Jin Erkan when he went to Southwest China.
Gently rubbing the bottle, she did not want to use this medicine on Emperor Qi unless it was absolutely necessary.
At this first anniversary banquet, Mu Duo was asked to determine the remaining time of Emperor Qi. They must make complete preparations within this time.
