When they returned home, Gao Xili told Song Xiaobei that the Emperor of Yue was approaching his 50th birthday. He wanted to represent the State of Liang to congratulate the Emperor of Yue, Ji Wenjing, and wanted to bring her to the State of Yue to take a look.
"Dear, that's great. I'll reward you.”Song Xiaobei said as she kissed Gao Xili, her tongue playfully sliding across his sexy lips.
"Xiaobei, be careful not to draw fire on yourself!" Gao Xili whispered and walked out. If it wasn't for the fact that her body hadn't recovered yet, he might have entered the bridal chamber first before the wedding.
Song Xiaobei sang happily behind him." I'm like a fire in winter. The raging flame warms your heart. Every time I quietly approach you, the fire lights up you…"
Gao Xili handed over the residence and the shop to Gao Ximeng and Xiao Ming. Exquisite followed him out.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw Shangguan Yu, Gao Xiyue, the imperial physician, and the others. Shangguan Yu's diplomatic mission was the Emperor's decree. Gao Xiyue had exchanged the fragrant dumplings and the song "Liang Zhu" for it.
"Xiaoyue, don't mess around. The weather is getting cold, and the journey is long. This isn't fun. If you have nothing else to do, be a good 'beauty six' in the shop.”
"Wherever sister is, Xiaoyue will be there. His sister once said,"How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?"”Gao Xiyue said and got into the carriage. Even though his sister was not in good health, she could still accompany him. He also wanted to experience it.
Gao Xili brought Song Xiaobei out for two purposes: The first was to relax, and the second was to diagnose illnesses. Last time, Cheng Long had heard that a divine doctor had come to Jie Yuan Town. He rushed over excitedly but did not see him. The divine doctor spent most of his time picking herbs outside. This time, Gao Xili wanted to try his luck. He didn't want to waste any more time on the road, so he wanted to take Song Xiaobei along the shorter route. He wanted Shangguan Yu to take Gao Xiyue along the main road so that they could meet up in Yue Country.
"Fifth brother, I said I won't leave sister. Kong Ming, Zhou Yu, lead the way." Gao Xiyue stuck her head out and said.
Shangguan Yu did not want to separate from them. He was very worried about Song Xiaobei's health and hoped that she would recover soon.
The large group of people gave up the easy path and chose the shortcut. Most of the time, Song Xiaobei sat behind Gao Xili. He held her hands tightly, transferring the heat. When the carriage was too bumpy, Gao Xiyue rode with Shangguan Yu with a red face. Exquisite and Rose were also brought along by the guards. Everyone had been together in the Imperial Residence for so many days and were quite familiar with each other. There was not much discomfort in such close contact. Only Gao Xihu was a little reserved. The weather was cold, so the crowd spoke very little. Most of the time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
They didn't know that someone was following them. It was Dian He and Guan Supeng. He sent the news to the Xia Emperor and secretly followed him. Both Dian and Guan Supeng noticed each other's presence. They were both friends and foes as they traveled together.
On the eleventh day, everyone arrived at their destination, but they still did not see anyone. Gao Xili was disappointed again. Song Xiaobei could accept it. The heavens had brought her from the 21st century to ancient times. She had encountered such a bizarre thing, so she could accept the rest. After waiting for two days, the divine doctor still hadn't returned, and the people around didn't know when he would return.
"Dear, I've heard a saying: 'You can find it without effort even if you wear out your iron shoes. Everything is up to fate." Song Xiaobei consoled. Celebrating the Emperor of Yue's birthday was a national affair and could not be delayed because of her.
Gao Xili was helpless and had to leave.
The large group continued to advance. After entering the State of Yue, his style of doing things had completely changed. Gao Xili and his sister were noble, Song Xiaobei was elegant, and the entourage was cautious. Song Xiaobei didn't like cars, but she sat in the carriage obediently. It wasn't easy for her to reach the capital of Yue State, New Capital. The staff of the posthouse made proper arrangements for them. Song Xiaobei ate very little and spent most of her time resting.
The next day, Gao Xili and Shangguan Yu were busy with national affairs, while Gao Xiyue and Song Xiaobei went shopping. Xiao Liang and the other four guards followed them.
"Does Xiaoyue have someone she likes?"
Song Xiaobei realized that Gao Xiyue was always generous in front of others, but she was shy in front of Shangguan Yu.
Gao Xiyue nodded.
"Let me guess, it can't be Yu, right?"
Gao Xiyue nodded again.
"He has good taste. Does he know that?"
Gao Xiyue's face was a bit gloomy as she slowly said,"He doesn't know, but Fifth Brother does. Fifth brother told me to give up and find someone else. He said that Shangguan Yu had an unsettled matter on his mind and was not in the mood to start a family.”
"It's so serious. Don't tell me you're waiting for your first love?”
"I don't know."
"I'll help you ask when I'm free."
"Thank you, sister."
"No need to thank me. I sincerely hope that you and Yu will be happy.”
The two of them chatted as they walked. Song Xiaobei picked out small gifts for the servants of Prince Li's residence.
A man's scolding came from a nearby duck shop."You stupid woman, stupid woman, you can't even keep an eye on a duck. You're just a good-for-nothing. Be careful, I'll divorce you one day.”
The woman sitting at the door knew that she was in the wrong and did not dare to make a sound. She sat at the side and wiped her tears.
"Big Sis, what happened?" Song Xiaobei asked.”
"My husband and I make a living by selling ducks and duck eggs. A few days ago, the duck dropped its eggs into the lime. When I found it, the eggs became like this.”The woman did not want to talk about the family's scandals, but when she saw the sincerity in the other party's eyes, she could not help but tell the whole story. An egg that made the two ladies look like ghosts.
Gao Xiyue looked on in surprise. Song Xiaobei smiled happily. The egg that had been partially peeled off had many pine flowers on it, tempting Song Xiaobei.
"Big sister, I want these eggs. How much is it?”
The woman was overjoyed. There were thirty in the basket. She said,"Just give me ten pieces."
"Big sister, I'll give you three times the money. Let's see if your husband still has any more nonsense to say and act arrogantly in front of you.”
"Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss! Are the two of you from other places? When he had the time, he would try the 'One of the Best in the Capital' and guarantee that the two ladies would be satisfied.”The woman was overjoyed and began to publicize it enthusiastically. The man came out of the room with a look of shock. He wanted to know how the customers would deal with those unlucky people. When he saw the guards beside them, he realized that the two customers had extraordinary identities and did not dare to strike up a conversation.
"The best in the capital?"
"The best restaurant in the capital is a restaurant. Its signature dish is 'The Best Restaurant in the Capital.'”
"Okay, thank you, big sister. We'll go if we're free." Song Xiaobei and Gao Xiyue smiled and left.
The guards placed the eggs in the car, and Song Xiaobei bought ingredients to go with the preserved eggs. Gao Xiyue and the others knew that they had encountered something good again. At the entrance of the posthouse, everyone met Gao Xili and Shangguan Yu.
"Everyone is in luck," Song Xiaobei said with a smile."I'll have an extra lunch."”
After the things were moved into the house, everyone went to the kitchen. Song Xiaobei made some arrangements. Some peeled eggs, some roasted green and red peppers. She asked Exquisite to find another thread.
Gao Xiyue saw Song Xiaobei use a thread to divide the egg into six pieces and asked,""Sister, why don't you cut it with a knife?"
"Xiaoyue, try using a knife." Song Xiaobei smiled.”
Gao Xiyue cut it with a knife and everyone saw that both sides of the knife were stained with preserved eggs.
This was the first time Gao Xiyue and Shangguan Yu had entered the kitchen, and they started to fight. Everyone had a skinned egg competition. With Song Xiaobei around, the kitchen was filled with laughter.
Song Xiaobei used ten eggs for the salad, and the other twenty eggs were put into the pot for processing.
The servant girls were clever and dexterous, and they imitated the young miss 'actions to separate the eggs. There was strength in numbers. The guards also roasted the green and red peppers. Song Xiaobei instructed the maids," After the chilies cool down, peel them and tear them into long strips. Add in ginger, garlic, and chopped green onions. Season them again. Finally, place them on the preserved eggs that have been placed on the table and pour some sauce over them.”
Song Xiaobei smeared the bottom of the plate with flour, placed the preserved eggs flat on the plate, and sprinkled a layer of flour. He placed the ginger and chopped green onions that he had prepared in advance into a small bowl, then added white sugar, yellow vinegar, soy sauce, wet starch, sesame oil, and mixed bone soup to make a sauce. The soup was prepared by the posthouse earlier.
Then, Song Xiaobei poured oil into the pot. When it was 60% done, she placed the preserved eggs into the pot one by one. They were fried until they were light yellow. She drained the oil and cooked them into the sauce that she had prepared. He gently pushed the spoon and shook the pot a few times. The preserved egg was covered with gravy and placed on the plate. It was done. Gao Xili completed the task under Song Xiaobei's guidance. This pot was too big and heavy for her to carry.
The 20 preserved eggs were placed into the pot three times, and this action was repeated three times. When they did these things, there were no onlookers. There was no lack of people from the posthouse to learn their skills. Song Xiaobei didn't mind. She had never thought of opening a restaurant.
These two dishes were a feast for the eyes of the posthouse staff, but they did not have the fortune to eat them. Their saliva was unbridled, but they could not eat them.
At the dining table, everyone had a good appetite and ate with relish. The guards had roasted wild animals and fish before, but they didn't know that roasted chili peppers were so delicious. Whether it was the preserved egg salad or the sweet and sour preserved egg, there wasn't even any juice left. The entourage had a feeling that they were very lucky to be able to accompany the young miss. They had learned a lot from the precious spiritual wealth that money could not buy. No matter where Miss went, even if it was a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, everyone was willing to follow and yearn for her.
Song Xiaobei and Gao Xili were discussing Shangguan Yu in the room.
"Dear, do you know that Little Yue likes Yu?”
"I know, but Yu might not marry Xiaoyue. I told her not to be stubborn.”
"Why? Does Yu have a lover?"
"No, besides Shangguan Yun, the Shangguan Family has another daughter, Yu's sister. However, she was lost when she was very young. She was kidnapped by a wicked beggar. The Shangguan family had been searching for her for so many years, hoping that she could return home and reunite with them.”Gao Xili said with a heavy tone. He remembered a hurried meeting with a little girl when he was young.
Gao Xili was a guest in the Shangguan Manor. He thought of his mother's unwell health and was sad by the lotus pond alone.
A cute little girl ran over and asked,""Big brother, why are you crying?"
"Imperial Mother is sick, I am so sad."
"Big brother, don't cry. A few days ago, my mother said that she had a headache. I blew on it a few times and my mother said that it didn't hurt anymore. Now, my mother is really fine.”The little girl smiled and blew on his face a few times. Then, she said,"Consort Mother is sick, don't be sad. Learn from me and your body will get better.”With that, the little girl ran away happily.
After a while, Gao Xili went to Shangguan Mansion again, but he did not see the little girl again.
Gao Xili had long forgotten the appearance of the little girl. The only thing he could never forget was her eyes, which were as bright as gems. The girl's eyes were similar to Song Xiaobei's. How he wished that Song Xiaobei was the little girl who had grown up. Unfortunately, Song Xiaobei came from another era, an unknown world.
"Dear, Yu is handsome. His sister should be very beautiful. What if she takes a fancy to you?”
"If Miss Shangguan returns home soon, everyone will be happy. There was no doubt that Xiaobei would become Princess Li. The government would not mistreat their daughter and let her be the mistress.”
"What if she only likes Prince Li?”
"I haven't found her yet, so I'm already imagining an opponent for myself. Don't make wild guesses. Take care of your body so that I can marry into the prince's mansion as soon as possible.”
Gao Xili kissed Song Xiaobei's forehead and turned to leave. Song Xiaobei thought of herself, and her eyes became moist. She understood why Shangguan Yu was so quiet. Every family had their own difficulties. She really wanted to do her part for the government, but in the vast sea of people, finding someone was like finding a needle in a haystack. She wished a good person a safe life!
