Lying quietly? In her arms, she played with his hair. Yin? "Don't you know that you can't touch my braids?"”
I snorted." What's so great about it? Aren't you tired of so many rules?"”
He chuckled." You're also the daughter of an official. Why don't you act like a young lady?"”
I replied lazily,"If I had known that I would enter the palace to be your concubine, I would have learned the rules as soon as I was born!"”
He looked at me seriously and said,"Do you care about your identity?"”
I didn't care." Our Qin family is destined to be concubines. My aunt is, and so am I. In my opinion, if your husband doesn't care about you, there's no difference in what you do.”I yawned loudly." I'm tired. I'm going to sleep!"”He kissed me and laid me flat. I pretended to inadvertently turn around and face the wall, two tears gently sliding down from the corner of my eyes…
The weather was getting hotter. In the blink of an eye, they had been in the Imperial Residence for more than two months. Yin? She spent almost every night at my place, and the other women, including the Nala family, treated me as usual. It was strange that she wasn't jealous. Consort Li did not know why, but she could not see her. Niu Gulu's belly was already very obvious. She would probably give birth in August. During the day, I went to the small kitchen to cook and eat with her. There were a few times when Nala happened to visit Niu Gulu and stayed to eat with us. She praised my cooking.
This afternoon, because Niu Gulu said she had no taste in her mouth, I went to the kitchen to make sweet and sour pork tenderloin and plum shrimp balls for her. When I passed by the bamboo forest, I saw two young men talking. Xin Yue didn't notice it when she was holding her plate. I stopped for a moment and she bumped into me with an " Aiya." I glanced at her and squatted down to greet the two masters. He stole a glance and saw a tall, pretty boy among them. He was handsome, bright, and gentle. If this was in the modern world, he would be considered a handsome young man. The other one was younger and shorter, but he was not bad looking.
After greeting him, the younger one asked with interest,"Are you from the kitchen? Where are you sending these vegetables to?"
I looked up at him and said resentfully,"What kind of look is that! Are all the chefs in your residence as young and beautiful as us?”
He looked at me in a daze. The older handsome man laughed and said,"Shisi, your eyesight is indeed very bad. This lady looks like a fairy. How can she be a chef?”
When I heard him say that I looked like a fairy, my face blushed slightly. I lowered my head and thought for a moment."This must be the Eighth Prince. I've long heard that the Eighth Prince is handsome and refined.”
The 14th Prince Yin Zhen clapped his hands and laughed. You guys are flattering each other so much. Could it be that you guys have a crush on each other? May I ask the name of this lady?"
I smiled slightly." You flatter me. My name is Sonya, and I am Prince Yong's servant."”
Yin? Her smile stopped and she looked at me carefully. I knew that he must have remembered what happened at Fuyun Temple and stayed behind to avoid trouble. I hurriedly bowed."I won't disturb the two masters 'business. This servant will take her leave first.”With that, he led Xin Yue to Niu Gulu's room.
Niu Gulu's belly was obviously bigger, and her movements were much slower, but she was in good spirits. Her face was filled with a motherly glow. I seemed to have been infected and ran here every day. Seeing that I had brought the dishes, she quickly sat up from the recliner. Du Juan, the servant girl at the side, took the plate and smiled."Our Ge Ge was just thinking about what Ya Ge Ge would cook today, and I said that it would definitely be different.”
Niu Gulu spat,"Nonsense!”
I smiled and helped her sit down. She picked up the tenderloin and took a bite."Delicious, delicious!" We couldn't help but laugh when we saw it. Her appetite had also increased a lot, and she could not stop eating. I was wondering what kind of snacks I could make in the small kitchen.
The new moon reminded me,"The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. Miss, are you still making dumplings?"”Dumplings? My eyes lit up. In the past, at the orphanage, we would make our own dumplings to eat during the Dragon Boat Festival every year. He said goodbye to Niu Gulu and pulled Xin Yue back to the kitchen.
There were five or six people in the small kitchen, two cooks, a kitchen helper, and a few handymen. Ever since I came, I've been running to the kitchen, and they've turned a blind eye to my antics. Sometimes, when they saw that my dishes were very novel, I generously gave them a taste and they all said that they were delicious. They repeatedly asked me to teach them. This time, when they heard that I was going to make dumplings, they all laughed and said that they had already made them. I took a look and saw that they were all ordinary white rice and red bean dumplings. "Watch me wrap up the meat dumplings!"”They looked at each other. Even Xin Yue was stunned. She didn't know what I was talking about. I asked them to prepare the pork belly. After washing and drying it, they cut it into small pieces and put in soy sauce, sugar, salt, spices, and other marinating ingredients. He washed the glutinous rice and soaked it in water. After thinking for a while, he washed the mushrooms, shrimps, ham, and other ingredients and soaked them. I ran back to take an afternoon nap when I was ready. The materials needed to be soaked for an entire afternoon. I'll come back at night to wrap them.
After dinner, Xin Yue and I returned to the small kitchen. We poured some of the meat soup into the drained glutinous rice and wrapped it with pure meat dumplings and dried mushrooms. After boiling it in a big pot, he asked them to stew it. It could be eaten tomorrow morning.
When he returned to his room, he sat down on a chair in exhaustion. Yin? She was already here. She was only wearing an unlined garment. She sat on the recliner and asked me where I had gone. I said that I had gone to make dumplings. He frowned.
"Have you been cooking in the kitchen recently?"
I nodded and poured a large glass of water.
He sat down and looked at me.”
I replied," Not really. Sister Niu Gulu is pregnant and doesn't have a good appetite. I like to cook by myself, so I often cook with her."”
"You like her very much?" he asked with a smile.
Do I like her? Or do I prefer the one in her stomach…I tilted my head and thought for a while."Of course I like my sister. She's a good person and gets along well with me. Besides, I think sister is blessed. Maybe she can give birth to an amazing brother for you in the future!”
"Do you also think that she is blessed?" He looked at me in surprise.”
I smiled and didn't say anything. "Did you meet Eighth Brother and Fourteenth Brother today?" he asked after a pause.”
"Who told you that?" I thought to myself, Is someone a snitch?
"Old Fourteenth said that Old Eighth has taken a fancy to you."”
"Who's talking nonsense!" I was furious.
Yin? "What did you say?" You…How dare you!"
I knelt down helplessly." Please forgive me, Your Highness. I deserve to die!"”He looked at me for a long time. His expression changed a lot. He wanted to be angry and laugh at the same time. In the end, he waved his hand weakly."Get up!"
I sat down on the chair and rubbed my knees as I looked at him bitterly. He smiled."You! What should I say about you? Eighth Brother and the others are here for dinner during the Dragon Boat Festival. You…"
"I'm not going!" I glared at him and said,"Just say that I have menstrual cramps!"”
He looked at me strangely. I coughed and said,
"Just say that I'm here for a monthly letter and can't get up after falling asleep.”
Yin? He had a strange expression on his face and finally laughed out loud. I ignored him and went to bed. Yin? It was unknown what she was thinking about, but after a while, she took off her clothes and went to bed. I pretended to be asleep, but my mind was actually working at full speed. What did Eighth Brother and Fourteenth mean? What were they trying to do?
I woke up early in the morning, Yin? Lying on the bed and watching me put on my clothes? "Didn't you say that you couldn't get out of bed because of Yue Xin?" What are you doing so early in the morning?"
I don't want him to ruin my good mood! She put on her clothes and turned around." I'm going to eat some dumplings. Do you want me to get you one?" Since she didn't have to wake up early, why not eat in bed?”He nodded. I hummed and ran to the kitchen.
I peeled a meat dumpling and couldn't wait to take a bite. It was so fragrant! After hurriedly eating, he instructed the kitchen to take some dumplings and distribute them to the various masters to taste. Then, he peeled two more and brought them to the room.
Back to the room, Yin? He still got up. When he saw me enter, he gestured for Xin Yue to take out his rinse cup. I placed the dumpling in front of him like I was presenting a treasure."Try it!" He looked at the dumpling with a troubled expression."Why is it this color? Can it be eaten?"
What was that? You don't believe in my cooking? What do you mean by edible? He wanted to snatch it back. Yin? I looked at him nervously. He finished it in a few bites and grinned."Delicious! I'll eat another one!"
I sat down to watch him eat, and my heart was filled with sweetness. It felt so good to watch my lover eat something that I made myself…Wait! I was frightened by my own thoughts, lover! I actually treated him as my lover! A bolt from the blue sky! It was too shocking! No, no, no. I must clear my mind…
"Ge Ge?" Someone was calling outside the door. I walked out. It was Feng Lan. "The Fujin said that the dumplings are very delicious and asked if there are any more?" The Fujin said that she would take your dumplings for everyone to taste.”
"Yes, if it's not enough, I can make it on the spot."”
" Then I'll have to trouble Ge Ge!" Feng Lan said politely and went to the front to reply.
Back to the house to see Yin? She had already finished eating and wiped his face with a towel. "Don't bother," he said."There aren't many people anyway." Let them eat, hmph!"
I held back my laughter. It's a pity that only our Prince Yong's residence has such delicious dumplings!”
He pinched my nose.”I sent him out and asked Xinyue to go to the kitchen to make dumplings!
Early in the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Prince's mansion began to get busy. I had nothing to do, so I went to Niu Gulu's room to grind my teeth with her for a long time. After eating, I was about to go back to my room to sleep when the Nala family sent someone to find me to the kitchen in front. They said that they felt that my dishes were delicious and asked me to guide them in making new dishes. I had no choice but to follow. The big kitchen was, after all, used to serve the master's meals. It was spacious and bright. There were eight cooking stoves. I looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and wrote a few recipes for the chief chef. I carefully taught him how to cook. Seeing that they still didn't understand, I personally demonstrated it to them. It was only after a long while that I was done. I quickly went back to my room to sleep.
Just as I was sleeping in a daze, Xin Yue ran in and shook me awake. She said that his highness had ordered me to put on my clothes and go to the banquet in front. He especially emphasized that he had to wear a flag uniform. I was depressed and helplessly got out of bed. Xin Yue combed my hair twice and put a jade hairpin on it. I don't have any other jewelry, but the jade hairpin was given to me by the Nala family. She picked a light pink flag dress and matched it with a handkerchief of the same color. She put on the bottom of the flower pot and stood up to take two steps. She felt that her center of gravity was unstable. Xin Yue even said that she looked good. Urging me to hurry up.
When she walked to the hall, she felt so sad that she wanted to take off her shoes and rub her feet. Consort Li walked over and smiled at me."Younger Sister looks good in Han clothes, and also looks good in Manchu clothes. She's really a beauty."
I also complimented her,"Sister, you flatter me!" How can I compare to you! I'm just a little younger. When sister was my age, she would definitely be a hundred times prettier than me!”Madame Lee laughed as she pulled me into the room.
This time, they entered the hall inside. There were a total of five tables. There were already some people sitting at the table. I didn't know any of them. The proper master, Baylor, and Fujin hadn't arrived yet. It seemed that the big shots always had to arrive last. After entering, Madam Li pulled me straight to the innermost table. The Geng, Song, and Liu families were all seated properly, so we sat down as well. After a while, Niu Gulu also came. I quickly helped her sit down beside me. Consort Li smiled and said,
"Only the two of you have a good relationship! Isn't it enough to be together? It's only been a while since we last saw each other, and you're already being intimate. I'm envious just looking at it! Why haven't I seen you being so intimate with me?”
I also smiled." You have Hongshi to accompany you. I'm alone. How can I kill time?" He was still playing with Niu Gulu's elder brother before he landed. When she gives birth to her brother, I'll have to stand aside again!”
Consort Li leaned over and looked carefully, but her voice was quite loud."I think my sister will be here soon! Wangye has been going to your room every day these days, it's hard not to give birth to an elder brother!”
My face suddenly turned red, and the concubines lowered their heads and laughed. Just as he was about to speak, Nala Shi walked in and said,""The Baylor and the Fujin are all here. Don't be so unruly and talk nonsense.”I stuck out my tongue. He looked at the door.
Yin was the first to enter? Yin followed behind? He was with his Fujin Guo Luo, followed by Yin Xiang, and the woman beside him was probably his wife, Fujin Jia Zhao. The two of them looked very close. He followed the 14th Prince Yinzhen a few steps away. He was alone and didn't know why the Fujin didn't come.
They washed their hands and sat down. Everyone was just drinking tea. They were probably waiting for someone. After half a cup of tea's time, someone came in and faced Yin? After saying a few words, Yin? She nodded and motioned for him to leave. "The Crown Prince said he had something to do, so he won't be coming." Let's begin." Everyone seemed to be relieved. I thought to myself,"If he's not welcome, why did you call him over?" Are you tired?
Yin? After raising their glasses and saying a few auspicious words, everyone officially started eating. The chef served corn pancakes, and everyone was very curious. Guo Luo, Luo Shi, Zhao Jia Shi, and Na La Shi sat at the table next to us. Kaisa couldn't help but take a bite. She kept saying that it was delicious. I tried it too. The salad and ketchup are missing, but the corn is very tender. It's not bad. Then, I served the golden garlic bone, double crispy abalone sauce, jujube shrimp cake, crispy fried beef tenderloin, crystal braised pork, and a lotus seed bowl with rock sugar bird's nest. Finally, of course, there was the meat dumplings I made. Kaisa was young and straightforward. She said that it was delicious. Yinxiang smiled and said,
"Beg Fourth Brother to let you have his chef so that you can eat these fresh dishes every day.”
Kaisa Group blushed in embarrassment.
Yin? "Since you like it, then ask the chef to go back with you. You can come back after you've taught your family's chef. Actually, it's my first time eating these dishes. I really can't bear to give the chef to you.”After saying that, he called for Chef.
I stood up and said softly,"No need to trouble yourself. Chef is here!"”
Everyone was shocked and looked at me. Nala Shi stood up and pointed at me with a smile."I've eaten my sister's cooking a few times and found it very novel. Today, I've wronged my sister to go to the kitchen to give some pointers. I didn't expect her to personally cook.”
Yinxiang laughed out loud. A chef like you is too precious. We can't afford it!”
I laughed too." You know that chefs are precious, so you ate so much on purpose, right?" There were only ten garlic bone dumplings in a plate, and you ate eight! You also ate two of those meat dumplings!"
"When did I eat that much?" Yinxiang shouted,"Look at how good my sister-in-law is at managing the household!" Not only was the portion on the dish small, but he also looked at who ate more and who ate less. It seemed that he was thinking of treating the next time and not treating the person who ate the most!”
For a moment, everyone laughed. "No matter what, he's still a master. Isn't it good to have someone to serve him?" Why do you have to do the servant's work!"
I smiled and said,"Eighth Fujin, you're right!" But how can my master compare to you! You're a proper master, but I'm different. Unless I can give birth to an elder brother, I'll have someone to rely on for the rest of my life. You don't have to consider this problem. Even if you don't give birth for the rest of your life, your status won't be shaken!”
" You..." Before Guo Luoluo could speak, I pitifully said,""Sigh! I don't know needlework or painting, so I can only learn to cook. If I don't have anyone to rely on in the future, I can open a restaurant to support myself.”
Yin Zhen, who had been silent all this while, raised his eyebrows and smiled."Fourth Brother dotes on you so much. Do you think you don't have someone to rely on? Why would he have to run a restaurant? Even if Fourth Brother doesn't want you in the future, my family's door is always open to you.”
I was about to speak. Yin? Patting Yin? "Fourteenth Brother, are you drunk?" If you take Sister-in-law in, Fourth Brother will be jealous!”After saying that, he looked at Yin provocatively.
Yin? She smiled lightly and said," Eighth Brother, you flatter me. When it comes to jealousy, I can't compare to you and Eighth Sister-in-law. We've been married for so many years, but we're still like one person. I'm so envious."”Everyone laughed and echoed, making Eighth Brother and his wife very embarrassed.
I couldn't help but laugh out loud. He also knew how to tell jokes! While everyone was raising their glasses again, I quietly walked out. Eating with those people hurt his stomach, and talking to them hurt his brain cells. It was better to go outside and get some fresh air.
It was May when they arrived at the garden. The flowers were blooming crazily and the garden was filled with fragrance. I sat on the stone bench and took off my shoes, thinking that the soles of my feet must have blisters. When she pulled down her socks, she almost burst into tears. Sure enough, there were blisters. She had to pick them out at night. In the past, when she was practicing martial arts and walking on the stage, she also got blisters. It hurt. It was still Senior Sister who guided me. After the bubble is broken, the juice will be squeezed out. I'm feeling sorry for myself. Someone chuckled behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Yin Zhen. I said in a bad mood,"If the Baylor doesn't eat, why did he come here?"”
Unfortunately, he didn't respond to my words. Instead, he sat down beside me and looked at me thoughtfully."Every time I see you, I always feel that there's something different about you, but I can't put my finger on it.”
I grinned.”
He sighed." Fourth Brother is so lucky. Fourth Sister-in-law is so virtuous. The person she found for him is also so outstanding."”I ignored him. She continued to put on her shoes. He suddenly grabbed my hand and leaned in."Fourth Brother has a straight face all day without a smile. Can you stand him?”
I narrowed my eyes and looked at him." It's my business whether I can stand it or not. Why are you so concerned? Let go!"
He pulled me closer to him mischievously."I fell in love with you when I saw you that day. I'll go beg Fourth Brother now and reward you to me!”
"Bullsh * t!" I wanted to say 'f * ck your mother', but he was still Baylor, so I quickly swallowed back my words."Do I have to like you just because you like me? Why don't you look at yourself! Father doesn't love mother doesn't love uncle, it's also annoying to see! If you want me to follow you, I'd rather become a monk at Fuyun Temple!”
"Shut up!" An angry shout interrupted my words. I turned around and saw Yin.。In the darkness, his face could not be seen clearly, so she did not know what his expression was. Yinzhen let go of my hand and I quickly wiped it on my clothes. As if he heard something? She smiled, but when she looked at him carefully, she heard him say sternly,
"You're too unruly! Did you scold Baylor? Kneel down!"
I greeted Einzhen and his family in my heart, then knelt down and sobbed,"14th master…this servant must have lost her mind to actually scold you. You are a magnanimous person, please don't make things difficult for this servant. Old Master Kong once said that only women and villains were difficult to raise. That woman was referring to slaves. The ancients also said that the prime minister's stomach could support a boat. You are that prime minister! Don't lower yourself to this servant's level. Women have long hair but short knowledge. This servant's hair is too long so I don't have any knowledge at all. I've described you, a handsome young master who loves everyone and drives cars, as an ugly monster that neither grandmother nor uncle loves…"
" Ha ha ha…" Instantly, everyone burst into laughter. I raised my head and saw that Eighth Brother and Thirteenth Brother were both standing behind me! Yinxiang laughed so hard that he was out of breath." We saw that Fourth Brother and Fourth Brother didn't come back, so we thought that you were hiding and refusing to drink. I didn't expect that. Hahaha…"
I heaved a sigh of relief. Great, my savior is here! As expected, Yin? "Get up," said a voice that suppressed its laughter.”Yinxiang walked over to help me up and winked at me."We were all talking about how well Ya Ge played the pipa and sang the song. Will we be able to enjoy it today?”
I look at Yin? His face was blurry and expressionless. I cleared my throat." It's so boring to listen to the pipa all the time. Why don't I play the guzheng for you?"”
I returned to the hall and sat down. Someone brought me a zither. I tried it on and it wasn't rusty. She smiled and sang,"
The world of mortals is so laughable
Infatuation is the most boring
It's good to look down on everything
This life is not over
But my heart has nothing to worry about
I just want to be free for half my life
When I wake up, I smile at people
Forget it all in my dreams
I sigh that the sky has turned dark too early
The next life is hard to predict
Love and hate written off
I only wish to be happy until old age
No matter how cold the wind is, I don't want to escape
No matter how beautiful the flowers are, I don't want them
Let me sway
The higher the sky, the smaller the heart
No matter how much karma there is
Drunk alone
Cry today, laugh tomorrow
I don't want anyone to understand
I don't want anyone to understand
Singing and dancing
The night is long and I don't know the dawn will find happiness
I sang this song very lively, and Yinxiang even knocked on the bowl. After singing it twice, Yin Zhen started to beat the beat. Everyone gradually quieted down after the event ended. He read softly,"The higher the sky, the smaller the heart, regardless of how much karma there is." He cried today and laughed tomorrow. He didn't expect anyone to understand. It's like your personality. Did you write this poem?”
I replied with an " hmm " and didn't comment.
Yin? "Ling, your Ge Ge is really something!" she said with a smile. She could write, sing, and even wash her hands to make soup. She really envied her younger brother to death.”
"Eighth sister-in-law. Did you hear that? I'm envious of Fourth Brother. You'd better hurry up and find one for me!”Yin Xiang teased with a smile. "Fourth Sister-in-law, tell Eighth Sister-in-law where you found this treasure for Fourth Brother." Yin Zhen agreed.”
Guo Luoluo looked displeased. He stood up and said coldly,"Ge Ge doesn't look like a singer. How can such a person enter my residence?”
I didn't say anything, but Consort Li laughed shrilly."Eighth Fujin, don't be unconvinced. Ever since our Prince's mansion has Sister Ya, it has become much livelier. She is so capable. Not only do I like her, but we women also like her. If I were a man, I would also want to beg her!”
Nala smiled and tried to smooth things over. The more he said, the more unreasonable it became. Sister Niu Gulu is pregnant now, so she can't be tired. Sonya, send her back."”I nodded and saluted the master. I helped Niu Gulu up and left the room. What does it have to do with me? Go back to sleep!
