The voice that spoke was a girl's, soft and soft with a hint of childishness.
Xiao Nianzhi followed the sound and looked over. In the swirling fireworks, before he could see the appearance of the person clearly, he saw Sister-in-law Guo and the maidservant kneeling down to salute.
Thinking that there were powerful people on both sides, Xiao Nianzhi quickly stood up.
She only hesitated for a moment and then came to Aunt Yu.
The night was dark, there were no courtyard walls on either side, and they were in the backyard kitchen. Most of Zhuangzi's servants had been sent away to rest.
Therefore, Aunt Yu didn't notice until the person came closer.
She got up first and saw Xiao Nianzhi walking this way out of the corner of her eye. She slowed down a little, deliberately waiting for the little girl.
When Xiao Nianzhi approached, Aunt Yu took a step forward, protected the person behind her, and bowed first.
There were five or six people coming. The two young men and women in front of them were wearing brocade and fine clothes. They should be the masters.
Sure enough, when Aunt Yu greeted her, her voice sounded in time: "I have met your highness, I have met the princess."
Xiao Nianzhi followed Aunt Yu's example.
The girl obviously didn't care about these etiquettes. She waved her hand, took two steps forward, helped Aunt Yu weakly, and continued to speak curiously: "No gifts, no gifts, Auntie, you haven't said anything yet, what are you going to eat?"
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the clay oven.
It's a pity that even if she has good eyesight and can see things clearly, but...
Can't recognize it either.
You can smell it, it’s fragrant!
After Aunt Yu stood up, she quietly glanced at Xiao Nianzhi and saw that she was also getting up. Then she said with confidence, with a smile in her voice: "I think I have studied some snacks. Do you want the princess and your highness to come together?"
The little princess of Prince Kang's Mansion usually loves delicious food.
In the early years, there was a joke in the palace that Yan Changxia, the princess of Mingyue Princess, was a little fool who could be coaxed away with a piece of sweet cake.
Of course, it was a joke between the masters, and the slaves just felt happy listening to it.
So, now that the other party asked, Aunt Yu didn't hide anything.
After listening to Aunt Yu's words, Yan Changxia moved his eyes from the clay stove with difficulty to Xiao Nianzhi who was standing behind.
At this sight, the young girl's beautiful fox eyes suddenly widened, and her tone was undisguised admiration: "Wow, aunt, she is so beautiful!"
Such a straightforward compliment made Xiao Nianzhi a little embarrassed, and a faint blush appeared on the tips of her ears.
This blush was quietly hidden in the night, and no one noticed it.
Yan Changxia's focus is more on food.
So, after exclaiming in surprise, he stood on tiptoes and looked towards the clay stove. He quickly turned his head and looked at Aunt Yu eagerly. His voice was soft, like a spoiled little daughter at home: "Yes, yes." together."
Aunt Yu generously invited them to join her, and Xiao Nianzhi obediently went over and continued baking.
Yan Changxia probably didn't want her beauty to be exposed to the smoke and fire. When she saw Xiao Nianzhi passing by, she couldn't help pouting: "Does it have to be baked by a pretty sister to make it delicious? We can't invite a pretty sister to come with us. ?"
Aunt Yu naturally accepted the other party's straightforward and simple kindness, so she smiled and secretly took credit for Xiao Nianzhi: "I figured it out after thinking about it myself. It was also an impromptu idea tonight. I haven't decided yet. Teach the method to others.”
Therefore, it is irreplaceable for the time being.
Hearing what Aunt Yu said, Yan Changxia felt a little regretful, but soon, she was attracted to meat skewers.
That was what Aunt Yu hadn't finished eating yet. Yan Changxia's etiquette training prevented her from grabbing food from other people's plates.
However, I couldn't control my eyes and kept looking over there.
Because her chirping actually weakened the young prince who was following behind her.
However, Aunt Yu did not ignore him. After greeting Yan Changxia, she did not forget to ask more: "Why did His Highness suddenly come here? Is the wife in the palace willing to let him go?"
The princes do not study in the Imperial College, they have things they need to learn.
The prince needs to learn how to govern the country, the art of maneuvering, and the methods of the emperor.
The other princes are responsible for the management and various interpersonal relationships.
The requirements of the masters in the palace are relatively stricter than those in the Imperial College, so Aunt Yu asked this question.
The person who came with Yan Changxia was His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, and logically he shouldn't be here.
Especially in the past two days, there had just been a bandit incident in the south of the city, and it was even more impossible for the palace to let the prince out of the palace easily.
Aunt Yu also weighed it in her mind and concluded that this probably did not involve palace secrets before she asked.
The Eighth Prince is thirteen years old this year and is in the stage of voice change. His voice is a bit hoarse and not pleasant to the ear.
Therefore, he recently took the initiative to practice silent meditation. When he could not speak, he tried to be silent.
But when Aunt Yu asked, he still took the initiative to speak: "Uncle Wang went up the mountain to chase a rabbit and fell down some time ago. Grandma Huang was worried, so I specially asked for permission to come out."
He seemed to want to say something else, but felt that his voice was not pleasant, so he gave up after thinking about it.
Anyway, with Yan Changxia here, her loudspeaker will definitely be able to tell the owners of several nearby villages!
Sure enough, after the eighth prince finished speaking, Yan Changxia took over: "My aunt knows Uncle Wang's temperament. I heard that the rabbits here are very plump after eating the grass in the spring, so he specially brought people here to go to the mountain. He was chasing him, and then he accidentally fell into a ditch. The ditch was small and his muscles and bones were not injured. Otherwise, he would have had to recover for a while, but now he is not willing to move around..."
Xiao Nianzhi quickly grilled fresh mutton skewers, along with mushrooms and eggplants.
Cut the eggplant in half, then cut it into a grid shape, then adjust the sauce, apply a thick layer, bake the eggplant until semi-soft, then apply a thin layer, trying to let the aroma of the sauce soak into every texture of the eggplant with fiber.
At this time, all the two halves of the eggplant were roasted, and Xiao Nianzhi put them on a plate and carried them over.
As soon as she came over, she attracted Yan Changxia's attention. She was still complaining about what kind of flowers her father had made recently, but she just took a second look at it, just like guarding against thieves, and hid it somewhere else. Let her see!
The little girl was not very happy. She pinched her waist and put on a childish face. She was extremely angry.
Aunt Yu only smiled and made peace with the mud, but she didn't do any justice in the matter.
The remaining heat of the fire has not dissipated, so even if the mutton skewers are placed on the plate, there is still a slight sizzling sound, stimulating every nerve of food lovers.
Yan Changxia, who was still angry and wanted to say more, immediately couldn't speak any more. She turned her head and her eyeballs almost fell into the plate!
The noble girl's cultivation told her to be steady and don't act like she has never seen the world!
However, tears of dissatisfaction almost fell from the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.
Woohoo!
smell good!
This is her favorite meat!
The little girl couldn't move her greedy eyes away, but she didn't forget to raise her head with difficulty and smile sweetly at Xiao Nianzhi: "Thank you, beautiful sister, for treating me to delicious meat."
