"What's going on?" Ye Fuxun held up her skirt and followed her, just in time to hear a bang as Princess Qin shut Prince Qin and her out of the door.
Then came Princess Qin's whimpering cry. King Qin smiled bitterly and lowered his voice and said: "Just now, the princess wanted to go to the farm next door to get some eggs for lunch, but..."
Princess Qin knew that she was not good at cooking, so she thought boiling eggs would be easy, so she planned to go to the farm next door to get some eggs.
Their yard was vacated by the farmer next door. Yesterday, all the eggs were sold, so I said I would give them some more after the hens laid eggs this morning.
After Princess Qin passed by, the woman next door was washing vegetables, so she asked Princess Qin to go and get eggs from the chicken coop.
It was said that there were seven or eight eggs laid in the morning, and they could all be taken. After hearing this, Princess Qin went to the chicken shed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed open the wooden gate of the chicken shed, he stepped on chicken feces.
Princess Qin has been pampered since she was a child and has never lived in a village, let alone doing such work as going to the chicken shed to collect eggs.
At this time, the crying in the room has not stopped, but no one wants to see anyone.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go get a basin of cold water and bring it in to clean the princess's face?" Ye Fuxun suggested.
When King Qin heard this, he nodded and turned around and left.
At this time, the woman in the next room came to the courtyard door to say hello, and Ye Fuxun walked over.
The mother-in-law came over with eggs, and Ye Fuxun hurriedly apologized again for what had just happened. At this time, the mother-in-law was no longer angry, and only said with a smile: "Your husband has already paid the money, so it doesn't matter.
It’s strange that my mother-in-law was busy washing vegetables just now, otherwise this wouldn’t have happened.”
After the mother-in-law left, Ye Fuxun walked to the kitchen carrying the basket.
At that time, King Qin had just finished delivering water to Princess Qin, and came over and told her: "The princess won't let her in, so she asked me to put the water at the door."
"I'm going to check on her." Ye Fuxun thought for a while, put down the egg, and then said to Prince Qin, "My lord, I'm afraid the princess needs some hot water to wash herself. Can you please boil some hot water?"
So, King Qin stayed in the kitchen to boil water, and Ye Fuxun went to Princess Qin's house again.
However, Princess Qin still refused to see her.
He just told her that her body was dirty and she had to clean it before coming out.
Ye Fuxun stood at the door for a long time. Seeing that the sun was approaching noon, he simply went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Smoke was rising from the kitchen, and the sound of King Qin's coughing could be heard.
Ye Fuxun walked in and saw King Qin squatting in front of the stove, playing with firewood, and was very embarrassed by the smoke coming out of the burning firewood.
"Concubine Ye." Seeing Ye Fuxun coming, King Qin raised his head in embarrassment, "This water has just started to boil."
Ye Fuxun looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle: "Your Majesty, your place is dirty."
She pointed to her nose to remind King Qin.
King Qin was stunned, and immediately wiped his nose with his sleeve. Sure enough, he found that his sleeve was stained with black stains, and his handsome face gradually turned red: "It's really embarrassing, making Concubine Ye laugh."
"How is that possible?" Ye Fuxun walked into the kitchen and said with a smile, "Firewood burning is a skill, and there are a lot of details in it, and I don't know how to do it. If it were me, I might still not be able to burn it.
Your Majesty, you have done a great job."
She walked to another stove and squatted down, "Let's light up this stove and make lunch by the way. What do you think?"
"Let me come." King Qin said hurriedly, "You are pregnant, so be careful." Ye Fuxun nodded and thanked him, got up and went to look in the kitchen.
Because yesterday Ji Yannuo paid enough money to the people in the house next door. In addition to cleaning the house for them to live in, he also prepared a lot of basic rice, flour, oil and salt, which was enough for them to eat for two or three days.
Ye Fuxun took out the noodles, took three large tomatoes, and walked to the chopping board to prepare them.
At this time, King Qin had already boiled two large pots of water according to Ye Fuxun's request, but it was still some time before the water boiled. He came over and asked Ye Fuxun: "What does Ye Fuxun want to do?"
Ye Fuxun spread his hands: "I'm not afraid of the prince's jokes. Although I am good at eating on weekdays, when it comes to cooking, it can be said that I am basically not good at it."
"So, I'm afraid the prince and princess will have to have a simple meal at noon today."
"I'm going to make tomato and egg noodles."
"Noodles topped with tomatoes and eggs?" King Qin looked slightly embarrassed as he read these slightly convoluted words, "It's my fault."
"Sixth brother asked me to take care of you and the princess, but I couldn't do it well."
Ye Fuxun smiled: "My lord, please don't say that. When we go out, we should support each other."
King Qin was silent for a moment: "What I just said is sincere. I have been pampered since I was a child. Unlike the prince who was sent to Qi State to suffer all kinds of hardships, I still learned a lot of skills in such an environment. No matter whether it is civil or military or even cooking, I am very good at it."
It’s beyond human reach.”
"The King of Chu likes to wield swords and swords. He asked his father for permission to go on expeditions and made meritorious deeds on the battlefield. He is also omnipotent."
"These are things I can't do."
Ye Fuxun was stunned, not expecting that King Qin would suddenly say this to her.
Perhaps because Ye Fuxun didn't respond, King Qin touched his nose in embarrassment: "I made Concubine Ye laugh."
He didn't know why he suddenly expressed his innermost thoughts.
"Everyone has his own ambitions. Just like the King of Chu who likes to kill enemies on the battlefield, doesn't the prince also have what he likes and is good at?" Ye Fuxun thought for a while and said, "There is no need to use one's own shortcomings to compare with others' strengths."
"Your Majesty, you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, your writing is your specialty, and you are as meticulous as your hair. No one else can match you in these qualities."
King Qin felt his face heat up slightly, and he was stunned for a moment before saying: "Thank you Concubine Ye for your encouragement. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Ye Fuxun was not polite and pushed the tomatoes in front of him: "Your Majesty, please help me peel these three tomatoes, then cut them into cubes and put them on a plate for later use."
Generally speaking, if you blanch tomatoes in hot water, the skin can be easily peeled off.
However, considering that it was not easy to boil a pot of water, Ye Fuxun simply decided to peel the skin directly.
She took another sea bowl, beat three eggs in it, picked up her chopsticks and stirred them quickly.
King Qin took the knife to peel the skin, his eyes half-downcast, very attentive.
The kitchen became quiet and everyone was doing their own work. For King Qin, this day was probably the happiest day in his life.
Soon Ye Fuxun's noodles were ready. After three bowls of noodles were placed on the stone table in the courtyard, King Qin went to call Princess Qin to come out for lunch.
This time Princess Qin finally took care of herself, but her face was still red, probably because she was still ashamed.
Ye Fuxun handed her the bowl and chopsticks: "I'm not good at cooking. I can only make simple noodles. Princess, please don't mind."
Princess Qin's face turned even redder. When Ye Fuxun came out earlier, she had vowed to make lunch for Ye Fuxun.
As a result, lunch was not made, and instead, I made myself so embarrassed.
