This palace is neither big nor small. Compared with ordinary people's houses, the palace is naturally many times bigger, but compared with this huge capital, it can only be visited for an hour or two.
You can finish shopping!
Yun Qi took Bai Yanqing and walked around the palace for a long time. It was so long... Bai Yanqing felt that her feet were almost no longer her own, but Yun Qi hadn't stopped yet!
"Your Highness, my young lady has just recovered from a serious illness and her body has not yet fully recovered. It is really not appropriate for her to be so tired!"
Bai Yanqing was embarrassed to say she was tired, but Cai Xing behind her was not embarrassed to say so. She stood directly beside Bai Yanqing, bent down, and rubbed Bai Yanqing's legs and feet, while shouting to Yunqi with some complaints.
Bai Yanqing secretly glared at Cai Xing and said, "Don't be rude."
Hearing this, Yun Qi apologized and said, "I was negligent. I don't blame Cai Xing."
After saying that, Yun Qi took Bai Yanqing to the octagonal pavilion aside and found a clean stone bench for her to sit down and rest.
Bai Yanqing was a little confused. Didn't Yunqi say that he would take her out to watch a show? Why...he dragged her around, but it didn't look like he was going to a show!
Bai Yanqing raised her head and looked around. This scenery seemed a bit familiar. She must have visited it before. In the distance, she didn't know which palace it was. Inside the palace, a plume of smoke was rising.
.The smoke drifted over with the wind, and it actually smelled like barbecue!
How dare someone dare to grill their own meat in the palace? Is this... allowed by the emperor?
Bai Yanqing immediately asked Yun Qi her question.
"Don't you think that palace is a bit familiar?"
Yun Qi smiled, did not answer the question, and then motioned to Bai Yanqing with his eyes, asking her to take a good look.
For Bai Yanqing, she felt that every palace in this palace was built similarly. From a distance, it was impossible to tell whose palace it was! Besides, Yun Qi took her around and around.
After sitting for so long, she was really a little dizzy!
Yun Qi picked up Bai Yanqing and led her closer.
"Now, do you recognize it?"
"Is it...Chu Xiu Palace?"
Bai Yanqing was stunned. Why did Yunqi bring her to Chuxiu Palace?
"Today, my father should go to Fengqi Palace to have dinner with Empress Gao."
Yun Qi said something specious, which made Bai Yanqing even more confused.
"Let's go! Let's go back to Qiyun Hall first and have lunch. When the weather gets cooler in the afternoon, we'll come back... to enjoy the cool air!"
Yun Qi took Bai Yanqing's hand and smiled. His eyes like autumn water were full of calculations at this moment!
enjoy the cool air?
It's late autumn now, and the weather is very cold. Is anyone... coming out to enjoy the cool weather?
Bai Yanqing suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. Otherwise, how could she have heard Yun Qi say, "It's so cold that you should come out to cool down?"
…
Because Yun Qi stayed in Qi Yun Palace for lunch, the palace people did not dare to be lazy! Kankan'er prepared a table of meals! The exquisite dishes made people feel good just looking at them!
After all, the emperor had just issued an imperial edict the day before that no one in the palace should slight the eldest prince! Now, these palace servants who follow the wind do not dare to openly despise Yun Qi!
"Hey, you are very diligent these days!"
Caixing rolled his eyes. The eyes of the palace maid who was setting the meal were full of contempt.
The palace maid knew that she was in the wrong, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her face, but she did not dare to say anything. After setting the meal, she respectfully left.
Bai Yanqing pulled Cai Xing and shook her head to signal her not to show her emotions too obviously.
The interaction between the master and the servant here all fell into Yun Qi's eyes. It's not that he didn't know what these palace servants were doing in private. In the past, it didn't matter that he had been aggrieved. After all, he didn't always live in the palace after he became an adult.
中. But now, Bai Yanqing lives in Qiyun Palace and is treated so harshly by them. Naturally, Yunqi cannot tolerate their wantonness!
"Let's eat first!"
Yun Qi picked up the bowl in front of Bai Yanqing and filled her with a bowl of soup. He was meticulous and thoughtful, and took away all the work of Cai Xing! Cai Xing was left alone to stare at him!
No matter how exquisite the food in the palace was, it was not as good as the hot soup and hot rice served in ordinary homes. Bai Yanqing only took a few bites and lost her appetite. She put down her chopsticks and refused to eat any more.
Seeing that Bai Yanqing ate so little, Yun Qi was a little worried and tried to coax her to eat more. But Bai Yanqing looked at the table of exquisite dishes and had no appetite at all!
"Where's Cai Xing?"
Just as Bai Yanqing put down her chopsticks, she realized that Cai Xing was no longer guarding her at some point.
"Miss, my servant has gone to cook!"
At this moment, Caixing brought several plates of freshly fried vegetables.
The aroma of steaming vegetables drifted in from the door. Not only Bai Yanqing, but also Yun Qi could smell it.
"Seeing that the young lady has a poor appetite, this slave took the initiative and cooked a few more side dishes."
While Cai Xing was talking to Bai Yanqing, he took out several dishes on the tray and placed them in front of Bai Yanqing. Cai Xing was smart and did not say that the dishes in the imperial dining room were not delicious in front of Yun Qi.
, I just said that I made a few side dishes for Bai Yanqing on my own initiative, which was reasonable and reasonable, so as not to be true to the facts.
Cai Xing was arranging the dishes and chatting nonchalantly with Bai Yanqing.
A dish of fried yam with fungus, refreshing and not greasy. The crispness of yam combined with the softness of fungus not only strengthens the spleen and stomach, but also makes digestion easy. A dish of stir-fried lotus root slices is crisp and appetizing. It not only strengthens the spleen and appetite, increases appetite, but also nourishes the stomach.
Replenishing qi, nourishing and calming the mind, most suitable for Bai Yanqing
After eating, there is another dish, stir-fried pork liver with sharp pepper, which is soft, tender, refreshing and smooth. It can not only nourish qi and blood, but also improve the symptoms of physical weakness after illness. It can be said that these dishes fried by Cai Xing
, they are all extremely particular, and they are all done for Bai Yanqing!
Bai Yanqing couldn't help but move her index finger. She picked up the rice bowl in front of her and ate a bowl of rice based on the dishes Cai Xing cooked!
"Is this... so delicious?"
Just a few ordinary home-cooked dishes could actually make Bai Yanqing eat an extra bowl of rice, which made Yun Qi on the side look dumbfounded!
Bai Yanqing nodded repeatedly.
"Caixing, get another pair of clean dishes and chopsticks for His Highness and let him try them too!"
Bai Yanqing ordered Cai Xingdao.
Cai Xing responded, and then gave Yun Qi another pair of clean dishes and chopsticks.
Yun Qi's appetite was not big at all, he had already eaten about seven or eight, but now he was urged by Bai Yanqing, so he couldn't help but take a taste with his chopsticks.
Yunqi took a bite of each dish and was not as surprised as he had imagined.
It tastes good, but not amazing.
"I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I have been very particular about my diet. In the past, when Cai Xing and I spent those days on Zhuangzi, she tried her best to make me some delicious food.
Nutritious dishes. Later, back to Bai
The people of the Bai family looked down upon us at first, but they still looked for stars, thinking of ways and tricks to get me some delicious food. I often think, if I want to be greedy, I will
It would be great if Cai Xing stayed with me forever! But she..."
Bai Yanqing put down her chopsticks, her face full of sorrow. She turned aside and gave a big salute to Yun Qi. Yun Qi was so frightened that he quickly bent down and helped her up!
"What are you doing?"
Yun Qi pulled Bai Yanqing up, not understanding what she was going to do.
"Your Highness, my dear, can I...please do something from you?"
Bai Yanqing's eyes were bright, but Yun Qi saw a bit of reluctance in her eyes.
"That's right, why should we be so polite between you and me?"
Yun Qi pulled Bai Yanqing and comforted him.
"My little girl would like to ask Your Highness if you can... let Cai Xing leave the palace!"
As soon as Bai Yanqing said this, not only Cai Xing was frightened, but also Yun Qi who was standing beside him had a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Miss, do you want to stop picking stars? Did Caixing do something wrong? Miss, you can't stop picking stars!"
At that moment, Cai Xing burst into tears. She never thought that Bai Yanqing would abandon her one day.
"Caixing, you're very good! You didn't do anything wrong, it's just... this huge palace is like a cage. I am forced to be trapped in it, but you still have a choice! I really can't bear it.
, let you stay with me and suffer here!"
Ever since Caixing asked Bai Yanqing last time, "Do you want to stay in the palace for the rest of your life?" Bai Yanqing secretly made up his mind that he would never let Caixing die in this palace with him!
Bai Yanqing hugged Cai Xing and couldn't help but shed tears. In her heart, she was actually very reluctant to let go. Cai Xing had been with her for so many years. The two of them had grown up together since childhood. How could Bai Yanqing let go?
Next? But Bai Yanqing also knows that she shouldn't be so selfish and let Caixing accompany her and linger in this cage for the rest of her life.
"Who said that you two will stay in the palace forever?"
Yun Qi frowned, looked at Bai Yanqing's master and servant who were holding each other's arms and crying, and spoke unhurriedly.
"Isn't it?"
Bai Yanqing suddenly stopped crying and looked at Yun Qi stupidly.
"I have a mansion outside the palace. After you and I get married, we will naturally move to live outside the palace! Besides...according to past practice, the prince will be granted the title of king soon after the marriage is finalized, and the palace will be sealed after that.
Leave the palace and live elsewhere. In the future, when my father appoints a prince, and after the prince ascends the throne, the remaining princes will be granted fiefdoms. At that time, they will also leave the capital with their families to live permanently in fiefdoms. "
Yun Qi took out the handkerchief, wiped Bai Yanqing's crying face, and explained kindly.
"That means...as long as we get married, I can leave the palace?"
"yes."
"Then, you can't leave the palace without getting married?"
"In principle, you are not allowed to leave the palace."
"Then when will we get married?"
"About, next year?"
"Can we get married soon?"
"Probably, not?"
"I want to leave the palace! I want to go home!"
"..."
Yun Qi was speechless. Dare to fall in love with this little girl. Do you want to get married just to leave the palace and go home?
"Then...does this slave...don't need to be separated from the lady?"
Caixing wiped away her tears and spoke weakly behind Bai Yanqing.
Seeing Yunqi nodding affirmatively, Cai Xing put his heart in his stomach.
"Miss, let's eat more. His Highness said he would take you to see a big show this afternoon. We can't go hungry!"
After Cai Xing said this, he pulled Bai Yanqing to sit down again and filled her bowl with food again.
Hearing this, Bai Yanqing raised her sleeves, wiped the tears from her face fiercely, then sat down and put the vegetables Cai Xing had just given her into her mouth.
"You can't eat any more. You have to hold on if you eat any more!"
Bai Yanqing muttered, not daring to eat more.
"It's okay, young lady. I've prepared hawthorn cake for you, which will strengthen your stomach and digestion. I promise you won't accumulate any food!"
After Cai Xing finished speaking, he ran out. Not long after, he came over with a plate of hawthorn cake.
The sweet and sour hawthorn cake is the best for digestion after a meal. Bai Yanqing picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and then picked up another piece and stuffed it into Caixing's mouth. The master and the servant
, I had a great time eating! In front of Yunqi, he was not pretentious at all!
Yunqi stared at the master and servant in front of him in stunned silence, unable to say a word for a long time!
Just now, who was crying and saying that Cai Xing would be sent away? And who was crying with runny noses and tears, saying that they would fight to the death?
They have been having fun for a long time, and they are having fun! The speed of changing their faces is faster than turning the pages of a book!
