The setting sun casts a golden glow at dusk, shrouding the small courtyard of Lengyuan. Although it is small and shabby, it is full of laughter and joy at this time.
"Wow! This vinegar potato shreds is delicious!"
"How on earth is this stir-fried pork made? It's so tender!"
"Delicious!"
On the square table, there are five dishes, including minced meatball soup, mapo tofu, diced carrots and chicken, and cucumber and scrambled eggs. They are all home-style stir-fry dishes that go well with rice.
It's simple and convenient, and you can make it in just a few minutes.
After Rou'er tasted it, she was surprised and exclaimed.
"Miss, when did you learn to cook?"
Aunt Zhu tried the taste and was slightly surprised.
Not bad indeed.
The ingredients are simple and the preparation is also very simple. It is often the most difficult to whet your appetite and taste buds with the most ordinary dishes.
The truth about Princess Yu is completely different from the rumors.
Cui'er held the bowl and took big mouthfuls of rice. Her big apricot eyes were filled with recognition, and her voice was crisp:
"Sister Xiao's cooking skills are not inferior to those of a restaurant, she can even open a restaurant!"
Rou'er raised her hand: "Second."
"That must be the best restaurant in the entire imperial capital!"
Rou'er: "Second."
"..." Ye Jinxiao was speechless, "Eating, so many dishes can't stop you two."
"hey-hey!"
Cui Er smiled naively: "What I said is the truth. Sister Xiao is a kind-hearted and humble person. She will definitely marry a very good husband in the future!"
Rou'er: "??"
Aunt Zhu: "??"
Bah bah bah!
Children are still young, and children's words are unbridled.
Rou'er warned in a low voice: "Don't let outsiders hear these words, especially the prince..."
"The king heard it."
"ah!"
A voice suddenly sounded out, scaring Rou'er so much that she jumped three feet high, and saw the man's dark figure standing in the darkness outside the cold courtyard.
I don’t know how long I’ve been here, and I don’t know how long I’ve been standing there. My eyes are deep and deep, and my sudden voice is like a ghost dormant in the night.
"Wang, Wang, Wangye..." Rou'er was trembling with fear.
When did the prince come?
Why did he come to Lengyuan?
Shouldn't he accompany Concubine Liu at this time?
Ye Jinxiao glanced sideways and said in a distant tone: "Is something wrong?"
Chu Yuci's breath was suffocated, and suddenly a breath was stuck in his throat, unable to come up or come down.
The entire palace belongs to him, and he can go wherever he wants. Why can't he come to Lengyuan if he has nothing to do?
I was supposed to go back to the study to work, but as I was walking, I walked outside the cold courtyard unknowingly. I saw the master and servants sitting at the same table, eating and laughing. Somehow, I was fascinated.
This domineering woman is very kind to the people around her.
She can also cook.
It is really rare for a rich lady to cook herself.
The colors of these dishes looked good, and the aroma was also wafting out. It happened that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and his appetite was aroused.
But when Ye Jinxiao opened his mouth, it really made the scene look bad.
He stepped forward and prepared to come in: "Nothing happens."
Ye Jinxiao: "Then why are you still here?"
"..."
One raised foot froze in the air, and his face suddenly turned green.
Drive him away?
Liu Mingyue would never drive him away!
He clenched his palms in annoyance, and then found that Ye Jinxiao was only looking at him indifferently, and the two girls Rou'er and Cui'er were holding bowls and looking at him. Aunt Zhu didn't mean to speak, but it looked like he was standing here. , abrupt and embarrassing.
And his annoyance also seemed a bit incompetent and furious...
The suffocating feeling of having nowhere to get angry.
For some reason, he suddenly became very angry. He gritted his teeth in anger and his eyes turned red. He glared at Ye Jinxiao fiercely, rolled up his sleeves and left.
This boring woman!
Who wants to come to this dilapidated and remote cold courtyard?
Chu Yuci became angry and left angrily.
Rou'er was holding the bowl with a piece of meat in her chopsticks. She remained in this posture blankly and opened her mouth in surprise:
"Small, miss, why do I feel that the prince, he... he seems very unhappy?"
Could it be that Concubine Liu was blowing some pillow wind again, and the prince was planning to teach the young lady a lesson?
But because of Aunt Zhu’s face, she didn’t have an attack?
Why do you think today's prince is so strange?
Ye Jinxiao didn't take it to heart, "Most likely he is here to cause trouble."
"Is it because of what happened during the day? But Aunt Zhu has already testified that Concubine Liu is asking for the consequences..."
"So what? He is not a righteous man."
"Do you believe that he will love me, or do you believe that I can be the queen?"
"Uh... I believe that sooner or later, the prince will discover your kindness and fall in love with you."
"??"
You deliberately messed with her mentality and didn't intend to let her eat in peace, right?
This damn girl.
Aunt Zhu raised her head in surprise.
King Yu was young and accomplished, popular among the people, and famous for his heroic appearance and majesty. Who could mention him without admiration or admiration? This was the first time I heard someone say that he was unfair and indifferent to right from wrong.
At first glance, Princess Yu seems to have no feelings for Prince Yu?
-
Early the next morning, a scream broke through the tranquility of Leng Yuan:
"ah!!"
Ye Jinxiao hurried out.
"Miss! Snake, snake..."
I saw more than a dozen dead snakes scattered in the yard. Some were broken into two parts, some were disemboweled, and some had their intestines scattered. The scene was bloody and horrific.
Rou'er had just gotten up and was going to the kitchen to make breakfast. When she saw this scene, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her legs so weak that she couldn't stand up.
Ye Jinxiao's eyes darkened slightly.
Yesterday was too busy. I rushed back to the imperial capital from the epidemic area in the morning, went to the palace to return to work at noon, and waited on the Emperor's bedside. In the afternoon, I returned to Prince Yu's Mansion and had a couple of interactions with Liu Mingyue. In the evening, I had dinner and discussed with Aunt Zhu. The Emperor's condition.
I was so busy that I slept deeply last night and didn't hear any strange sounds in the courtyard.
"oops!"
At this moment, a woman screamed in surprise outside.
"Why are there so many dead snakes? Princess, could it be that you came back from an epidemic area and were contaminated with something unlucky?"
The woman was wearing cyan clothes and a lot of jewelry. Xiaojiabiyu's face was full of surprise, and her words were even more targeted.
She crossed her arms across her chest, with a provocative curve at the corner of her mouth. She was none other than Jing Weiwei's biological sister, Jing Yun.
Jing Yun had an argument with the original owner and deliberately fell down the steps to frame the original owner.
It also caused Ye Jinxiao to be beaten thirty times.
She has not forgotten this.
Ye Jinxiao took a quick glance.
Most ordinary women would be frightened when they saw this bloody scene and so many snakes, but Jingyun looked like he was "watching a good show", as if he came prepared.
He said calmly: "Who do I think is here? No wonder so many snakes died. It's really unlucky."
Jing Yun looked annoyed.
Is this an insinuation of bad luck to her?
"These snakes died in your courtyard. I don't know what evil spirits you brought in the epidemic area. If it brings disaster to Prince Yu's palace, you can't afford to pay for ten lives!"
Ye Jinxiao looked calm:
"According to what you said, coming back from an epidemic area is bad luck. Do you have any objections to the prince? How dare you scold him so rebelliously."
"you!"
