Chapter 103

"Then I also like Empress Xi."

After some psychological struggle, Chengjing clenched his fists and made up his mind:

"Mistress Xi saved my life. I can't dislike Mistress Xi just because she is a ball of dung."

The eldest prince, who is less than five years old, has not yet gone to study in the study room. At this age, it is easy to take fantasies as reality. As long as you use inductive questions, you can make him admit that he set the fire in Efang Palace within ten sentences, and the Great Wall is also fine. He built it.The people around him all regarded the eldest prince as a fragile porcelain doll, so he, who had never been teased by an adult, believed Yun Jiao's words without hesitation.

After the eldest prince finished speaking childishly, Yun Jiao's conscience began to ache.

How can children be so easy to deceive!
Xue Ya also whispered: "Your Majesty, stop teasing Your Highness, Your Highness will really believe it."

Yun Jiao thinks so too, and accepts as soon as he sees a deal.

"This matter is a secret between the two of us, Jing'er don't tell others, come and pull the hook."

So one big and one small, one standing and one squatting, pulled the hook with their little fingers very seriously.After pulling the hook, Yun Jiao patted the seat next to him, inviting the First Prince to sit up.Cheng Jing refused the maid's hand to hold him up, stepped up and sat up by himself.

He is frail, not disabled.

In fact, it is very common for young masters and young ladies in aristocratic families to have maidservants do this kind of work, but because Xie Chengjing is weak, he is particularly obsessed with proving to others that he can act normally.Seeing that Empress Xi had no intention of coming to help him, she felt even happier.

"Even though you came to me, I have nothing interesting to share with you."

Yun Jiao held his chin and thought hard.

"I think it's fun to be outside."

"Why don't you go fishing?"

The maid who took care of the eldest prince felt tight when she heard this.

Ever since the first prince fell into the water, Concubine Jing filled up all the ponds in Qixiang Palace where the water was below the calf, for fear of touching her son's psychological shadow, but Concubine Xi, who knew the inside story, actually asked him directly if he wanted to go fishing.

"Okay! I haven't fished before, Madam Xi will teach me."

"I haven't fished before. Fishing has a novice gift package. The more people who have never fished before, the easier it is to catch big fish."

Yun Jiao said seriously.

Cheng Jing fluttered his big eyes, convinced of her words.

The two went out together, followed by eunuchs and maids of honor behind them. Before they even reached the gazebo where they could go fishing, the screen and oven used to keep out the wind were added together: "The palace people around Jing'er are really careful in their work."

"Um……"

Seung Kyung, who was taken care of as fragile, bowed his head.

"But there's something missing from the oven."

Yun Jiao ordered Gong Mei to fetch barbecue sticks from Xianfu Palace and some meat from the dining room.

Hearing that Empress Xi wanted it, the kitchen master immediately understood, and the raw meat skewers that he brought were all marinated in advance and cooked with good ingredients. Although there was no Orleans grilled chicken wings that became popular in later generations, the seasoning taste was not bad.As soon as it is grilled on the red-hot charcoal, the fat under the skin of the chicken wings is forced out and drips onto the charcoal fire. With the sound of sizzling, wisps of light smoke swim out of it, and the aroma of the meat is overflowing.

The eunuch was in charge of burning, and Yun Jiao was in charge of eating.

The eldest prince swallowed hard at the side, Yun Jiao ordered one of his entourage's clever-looking eunuchs when he saw this, "Go to the imperial hospital and ask the imperial physician who is in charge of giving His Highness a pulse, he only uses a small amount of these things, and he can Do you want to eat?"

"Yes, the slave will go here."

The eunuch ordered to go away, the eldest prince tugged at her sleeve:

"Empress Xi, if I eat badly, you can say that I stole it, and you don't know." Your Highness knows who made a slip of the tongue, so he will not forgive you lightly."

The palace people didn't dare to respond, they knelt down one after another, and some palace maids tried to persuade them in a low voice.

Yun Jiao patted his head: "I won't run away, don't worry."

She saved the file, and in case the eldest prince really couldn't stand the secret, she would read the file.

Anyway, she can still eat twice after reading the file.

When the eunuch who went to question came back, the first round of meat had just finished roasting. The mutton skewers were fat and thin, and they were oily and fragrant. Sprinkle with a little salt, it tasted amazing!

"Huixi empress, the imperial doctor said that although it is not suitable to eat too much, it is still okay to taste it lightly, and be careful to avoid spicy seasoning."

The eunuch gestured for the amount to taste.

It was a real taste, Yun Jiao imagined, if she could only eat this little, she would crawl all over the ground.

"Can I really eat it?"

The First Prince's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Since the imperial physician also said it's okay to eat, let Jing'er eat the first skewer first."

When Yun Jiao gave an affirmative reply, the First Prince was even more overjoyed, but he restrained himself and said, "Niang Xi eat first."

The eunuch handed over the freshly roasted mutton, Yun Jiao was not polite, took it and took a bite.There is no need for too much sauce, just burn the rich meaty aroma on the tongue, and the satisfaction it brings is the most original and purest!
Thin snow foam fell from the sky, and a layer of white snow quickly accumulated on the eaves of the gazebo.

Yun Jiao threw down the silk thread and went fishing with the First Prince.

It's a pity that the novice gift package didn't work for the two of them, and the fishing line didn't move for a long time.In fact, if the noble master in the palace wants to fish, it is usually arranged some time in advance. The eunuch on duty will stop feeding in advance to increase the chance of the master catching fish.

It is often said that fish do not know how hungry or full they are, but there is also a consensus among fishing friends that fish do not like to eat when they are full.The bait in the imperial garden is fixed and quantitative, and the bait that the fish can't finish will sink to the bottom, so they are not active in the bait.

"Didn't Niang Xi say that there will be a gift package for beginners?"

The First Prince couldn't hide his disappointment.

Yun Jiao: "Jing'er wait a minute."

"You," Yun Jiao called to the eunuch on duty: "It's up to you, go get a net to catch the fish."

"Ma'am...?"

"Can't it be done?"

Xipin said, no matter how difficult it is, I have to do it.

The First Prince stared dumbfounded as the eunuch picked up the fish from the pond with a net and brought them to him.

"Pick two good ones and roast them."

She ordered, then turned to talk to the First Prince: "Do you want us to share the rest of Jing'er and take it back to keep?"

"it is good!"

The First Prince picked out two navy blue ones.

The pond is full of ornamental fish, which are thorny and astringent when roasted. The other ladies are fishing leisurely and interestingly. After the fish bite the bait, they are held by the ladies' jade hands and released.Unexpectedly, today I met a master who even eats and takes.

After landing on the shore, the mouth of the fish opened and closed, as if to say——

Yuyu, I seem to be dying.

The eunuch kept an eye on it, and replaced one of the ornamental fish with a big fat fish from the dining room, the color of which was almost the same after being grilled over charcoal fire.

Sure enough, Yun Jiao frowned after taking a bite of the ornamental fish.

The eunuch hurriedly handed over another one: "Your Majesty, try this one."

The other one was grilled just right, the fish meat was delicious, and it was exactly what Yun Jiao wanted.

The fishing trip ended in a forced and perfect way.

The eldest prince reluctantly turned his head three times before going back.

"Your Highness is really cute. It would be great if our master could have a child of his own." Xue Ya said enviously.

The children miss her very much, but Yun Jiao doesn't care.

When you come, you can play, and if you don't come, you don't want to. She ordered the eunuch who just secretly changed fish: "Who are you?"

"Slave Shi Jin."

Shi Jin knelt down and responded, his heart beating like a drum.

Did the master find out?
"You handle things carefully, and come to me in the future."

"Thank you madam!"

After realizing what the master meant, ecstasy welled up in Shi Jin's heart, and he repeatedly kowtowed to thank him.

In this palace, different concubines like to use different palace styles.

Some like to look good, and some like to be obedient.

Slaves who make their own opinions are easy to be punished even if they do the right thing, because they are positioned as tools that can talk and walk, rather than living people, and the will of the master is their direction.

Yun Jiao felt that she was not smart enough, so she was willing to promote the smart people around her.

……

When the First Prince returned to Qixiang Palace, he was holding two big fat fish in his hands, and begged Concubine Jing to keep them.

Concubine Jing stared at it for a while, then said, "Okay."

Listening to the eldest prince Xu Xu recounting today's fishing trip, Concubine Jing realized that her son was not as fragile as she imagined.

So it took a lot of effort to reopen the pool that was originally sealed.

"In the future..."

Concubine Jing hesitated for a moment: "Concubine Xi, you can go there as often as you want, but you should pay attention to your diet and don't stuff everything into your mouth."

"Really? Mother Concubine is so kind, I'm going!"

The eldest prince threw himself into the arms of his concubine mother and acted like a spoiled child.

"Well, Jing'er is good."

Concubine Jing believed that Concubine Xi, who risked her life in the water to save others, would not harm Jing Er.

What's more, with the Eldest Prince's physique, it is almost impossible for him to inherit the throne. He is not a threat to anyone, and it is more likely that he will use the hands of Concubine Xi to harm the Eldest Prince and beat up this beloved concubine.

And Concubine Jing vaguely remembers...

Xipin didn't look very smart.

……

Xianfu Palace.

Gong Mei walked in with a brocade box in both hands: "Your Majesty, this is a gift from Miss Suyou from Qixiang Palace."

Suyou is Concubine Jing's eldest court lady, she walks outside and is her spokesperson.

Sending it personally by her not only expresses the importance that Concubine Jing attaches to Concubine Xi.

"Bring it here and let me see."

Yun Jiao opened the brocade box, but inside was a stack of papers.

"What is this? Can you understand it?"

Gong Mei poked her head over and read the words on it: "It seems to be a person's name."

Yun Jiao called Shi Jin also to him, and asked him if he knew the people above.

Shi Jin was illiterate, and after hearing Gong Mei's retelling, he felt confident: "Mother, these three are on duty in the House of Internal Affairs, this one is the eunuch of the dining room, and these two are from the manufacturing office. The slave has an immature guess about the words sent by Concubine Jing, I don't know if the empress is willing to listen."

"You said."

"These should be in the hands of Concubine Jing, or her trusted contacts. If the empress has doubts about food and clothing, or has something to do, you can ask these people above."

Shi Jin guessed right.

Concubine Jing also knew that her wish to keep her son locked up was unrealistic.

The only way is to make the place where the son loves to go safe.

But she couldn't extend her hand into other concubines' palaces, so she could only show her favor to Concubine Xi in this way, and let her increase the safety factor.

"Oh……"

Yun Jiao didn't think about it at all: "This mother and child are really weird."
