Cao Bamei said: "No way? Your Majesty, what delicacies have you never tasted?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Hey, what you said is wrong."
"If I don't talk about anything else, let's take this celery bud as an example."
"This is a seasonal dish. After this season, you have to wait until next year."
"The cooks in the imperial dining room are crazy. I heard that seasonal dishes are not given to the emperor, so they give him some fish, meat, etc. that can be easily obtained all year round." She said.
Cao Bamei was even more surprised: "Why is this happening? These seasonal vegetables are not expensive."
Yang Ruoqing said: "They were worried that the emperor would miss it after eating it and ask for it in other seasons, and the cooks wouldn't be able to make it."
"The emperor will be in a bad mood when the time comes. He will not even be able to save his head for a dereliction of duty."
"So, they give the emperor what is easy to get."
"As for the emperor, he probably stayed in the palace from the time he was born in his mother's womb until his death."
"Maybe, I don't even know there are vegetables like celery sprouts in the world!"
Yang Ruoqing ate with gusto and spoke eloquently.
Cao Bamei next to her was also stunned for a while.
"Zhao Qing'er, if you put it like that, I think we are more comfortable than the emperor!" she said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "It depends on which angle we look at the problem. From this aspect, it is indeed true."
Cao Bamei said: "By the way, Qing'er, do you want to go to your third brother's place?"
Yang Ruoqing shook her head without thinking.
"I don't want to offend Chen Jinhong, so I won't go," she said.
Cao Bamei smiled expressively, "Okay, then I won't go. You hurry up and eat. You'll make your stomach upset when the food gets cold."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, picked up the bowl, and said no more.
A puff of wind blew through the clouds.
Touching her bulging belly, Yang Ruoqing let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"This is probably the most satisfying and enjoyable meal I've had in the past month," she said.
Cao Bamei smiled, stood up and picked up the tray: "I'll take these to the kitchen first. You get up first. If you are free later, let's go to the night market together."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Okay, get up now."
After Cao Bamei left, Yang Ruoqing quickly got dressed and got up.
Xiao Yaxue came over, looking angry.
"What's wrong? Did Risong make you angry that day?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Xiao Yaxue said: "He doesn't dare. It's your cousin Zhou Xia."
"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing was surprised and asked about the situation while washing her face.
Xiao Yaxue said: "What's going on? You can guess it with your toes."
"First he complained that the bed in the room was not big enough and the quilt was not soft enough. Then he said that the tea bowl on the table was not blue and white porcelain."
"When we were eating, we were picky about whether this dish was salty or whether it was bland, and even sent the maid outside to buy her pastries."
"Oh my gosh, does she really think of herself as the princess? I can't stand it anymore!"
Hearing Xiao Yaxue's words, Yang Ruoqing smiled.
"She has been picky and angry all the way!" she said.
"There's nothing to be angry about. She was already losing in this fight."
"Complaining, complaining, this is the last outlet left by the weak. Let her go as she pleases. No matter how much trouble she makes, she can't change the overall situation."
That is, returning to her hometown to observe mourning for her father for two years.
They are not allowed to get married, wear red or green clothes, or return to the Xiangyang Palace within two years.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Xiao Yaxue understood instantly and immediately put her hands on her hands and laughed.
"Yes, that Zhou Xia is only one year younger than you. You are seventeen and she is sixteen, which is the season of blooming."
"After two years, your baby will be able to do soy sauce on the streets, but she has turned into an old girl of eighteen."
"Hahaha, Qing'er, you're right. I really shouldn't get angry with her. No matter how much trouble she makes, she can't find the palm of my hand." Xiao Yaxue said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Children can be taught."
Xiao Yaxue said: "Didn't you say that she is one of Qi Xingyun's concubine candidates? What about the current concubine position?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Since the Emperor granted my wish and ordered her to come back with me, there will naturally be other arrangements for the marriage."
"Besides, Qi Xingyun is the God of War, the Wise King, and a popular figure in Da Qi."
"I'm afraid that a bunch of noble ladies will overwhelm his position as concubine. Zhou Xia, hehe, you can go to bed now," she said.
Xiao Yaxue snapped her fingers excitedly: "A selfish woman without any sense of filial piety deserves to be punished, cool!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "You also go back to the house and change a pair of shoes. When the eighth sister comes, it will be great for the three of us to go to the night market together."
"Are you going shopping? You can have this. I'm going to change my shoes right now."
Xiao Yaxue ran out of the house like a gust of wind.
Looking at her leaving figure, Yang Ruoqing smiled happily and quickly got ready.
The county town is very lively at night.
In addition, it is already the tenth day of the fourth lunar month, the beginning of summer.
When walking on the street at night, it is enough to wear a close-fitting garment underneath and a slightly thicker coat outside.
Neither cold nor hot, moving around is no longer as clumsy as wearing cotton clothes and trousers in winter.
Step out with a vigorous pace, and you won’t feel tired even if you walk around ten streets in one go!
There are three women in a drama, and it is even more extraordinary when they go shopping.
From going up the street to going down the street, sweeping through all the stalls, in the end, there was no shopping left. The three of them were still having fun and didn't want to go back.
"I'm so excited. I can't even sleep when I go back now." Xiao Yaxue said.
Cao Bamei said: "When you are not here, I rarely go out for shopping, and I don't want to go back so early. What should I do?"
Yang Ruoqing was the same. She glanced around and saw the alley with red lanterns not far away, and suddenly had an idea.
"How about the three of us disguise ourselves as men and walk around the alley to feel the atmosphere?" she suggested.
Xiao Yaxue and Cao Bamei were stunned when they heard this and looked over according to Yang Ruoqing's guidance.
Cao Bamei's face turned red immediately, but she was a little curious.
Xiao Yaxue excitedly pawed her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I've long wanted to sneak into Fireworks Alley to experience what it's like to be a prostitute."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Follow me!"
The three of them entered a clothing store nearby. After a while, the three who came out again were two handsome young men. Cao Bamei was dressed like a servant.
The three of them looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't help but laugh.
"Qing'er, are you sure that the three of us look like this and others can't recognize that we are women?" Cao Bamei couldn't help but ask.
He raised his hand and patted his face again, "And with this face, you wouldn't recognize it at a glance when you meet an acquaintance, right?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Don't worry, our chests are tied very tightly. Now we are all in peace. As long as we don't speak, no one will recognize us." (.
