Strategy of Prince's Concubine's Rebellion

Chapter 157 Good cabbage makes pig arch

The oiran chuckled, turned his head back, and continued to squeeze his shoulders.

"To say that there is only one meticulous and delicate person in the Yan army now."

"Who?"

Tie Jia looked confused.

"Is it you, Myolie?"

The oiran was coaxed to laugh out loud: "Fool, how can I be coquettish? Of course she is the princess of Chu who was captured! King Chen asked you to find the cook, and he must have found it for her, otherwise in the past few days , Your Highness always eats the same food as the generals, so why does the princess suddenly become picky when she comes?"

Tie Jia nodded, feeling that it made sense.

"Then if I bring the cook tomorrow, will His Highness stop being angry?"

"That's natural. This is a trivial matter. Your Highness will not take it to heart. In addition, tomorrow I will make some delicious cakes in your name and send them to the princess. You can go find the cook. See you, Your Highness. If you do things well, I might even praise you a few times."

"So much the better!"

Tiejia became happy.

He pulled the oiran of Yunzhou City over and kissed her hard.

"My Xing'er is still smart."

After saying that, he chuckled, picked her up and threw her on the bed, took off her armor and pounced on her.

"Oh, be gentler!"

"Ah, disgusting!"

……

*
Since being fed by King Chen, Xiang Yingxue has started to eat obediently.

I ate some at every meal, and if I really didn't want to eat it, I hid it secretly in the waste basket. The old women wouldn't look at it when they came in to clean it up, so they just took it out and threw it away.

In short, she never wanted to be fed around by that barbarian again.

In the evening, the old woman brought another sumptuous meal.

She didn't know that the cook had changed, and she looked at the several full plates on the table and frowned.

Just when I was about to wrap it up and throw it away, I heard a soft female voice coming from the door.

"Two young brothers, on the order of the Iron Armored General, bring some cakes to the princess."

Under normal circumstances, no one can put it in without King Chen's order.

But Tiejia is King Chen's personal bodyguard, and his actual status is higher than that of the vanguard general.

Moreover, everyone knew that today he went to the city with great fanfare to search for a cook. Gradually, everyone also understood that the cook was specially prepared for the eldest princess of Chu.

So Tiejia sent someone to deliver some delicious pastries, just to implement King Chen's order more appropriately.

The gatekeepers let the Yunzhou City oiran in, but they couldn't help but whisper.

"You said this armor looks stupid, why is your life so good?"

"Yes, first he was chosen by King Chen as his personal guard, and now he has a beautiful woman in his arms."

"Isn't it true? The oiran lady of Yunzhou City, who many dignitaries could not even dream of getting, was actually taken over by him."

"Alas! A perfectly crisp piece of cabbage was just eaten by a pig."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. He is a popular person in front of His Highness. If you offend him, you will be left with nothing to eat!"

The oiran from Yunzhou City wanted to come here earlier, but the border town was almost emptied by the Yan army, and it was too difficult to find some high-quality ingredients.

It took nearly two hours to search for a single piece of ghee.

After coming back, I was entangled in the armor for a while. When I came over, it was already dinner time.

Fortunately, the dishes on the dinner table were untouched, and her pastries could still be used.

"who are you?"

Xiang Yingxue looked at her with alert eyes.

The oiran bowed and saluted: "This servant is ordered by the armored general to deliver some cakes to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"armor?"

Xiang Yingxue thought for a while: "What a familiar name."

"He is the personal guard of His Highness Prince Chen." The oiran reminded him warmly.

"Oh!"

Xiang Yingxue finally remembered that the reason why she was familiar with it was because Murong Chen had called this name several times.

But he never noticed which of the two guards he was calling.

"Is it the stupid and rude one, or the elegant and smart one?"

The oiran's face turned red and he replied in a low voice: "It's... the stupid and rude one."

Xiang Yingxue didn't know about his relationship with Tiejia, thinking that she was really just a slave, and she had no scruples about what she said.

She remembered the first time she secretly visited King Chen in the Dachu Palace. After she was caught, the rude guard wanted to cut off her ears.

And after being kidnapped by Murong Chen and taken to the mountains, he was also the one who suggested that he be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves.

She glanced at the pastry with disgust.

"I don't dare to eat his things, so take them away!"

The oiran did not expect that Tiejia would have a personal grudge against the princess of Chu.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that with his temperament, he unknowingly annoyed the princess.

"Your Highness, the Iron Armored General is indeed not that attentive, so this pastry was actually sent to the princess by the slave himself in his name."

"Oh?"

Xiang Yingxue became even more suspicious.

Why would a maid whom I have never met bring food to me?

Seeing the distrust in her eyes, the oiran hurriedly explained: "When I was young, my family was poor, and I went to Chu State with my parents to make a living. A few years ago, when things got better, refugee riots broke out in Chu State. The emperor was furious. In order to expel all non-Chu citizens, Her Royal Highness the Princess interceded for us poor people, not only quelling the riots, but also encouraged other people to take mortgages and loans at the Dachu Bank and set up caravans to participate in the mutual trade."

She knelt down with gratitude on her face: "Although my life is poor, my parents died of illness, and I had no choice but to return to the Yan Kingdom to become a slave, but I still remember the princess's great kindness."

Xiang Yingxue looked at her carefully and saw that she didn't look like she was lying.

And he did do this three years ago. At that time, many people from the barren country did kneel down and worship outside the palace gate out of gratitude.

"Get up."

Xiang Yingxue helped her up.

The oiran took the opportunity to take a closer look at Princess Yingxue's waist. As a woman accustomed to being a romantic woman, she could tell at a glance that King Chen had not touched her.

Very good, in this way, the task assigned to him by the second lady of the Lu family can be carried out from scratch.

I only hope that the women of Chu State really value chastity as legendary and hate the men who force themselves to death.

Otherwise, the second step of the plan would have to be implemented, and that plan was something she didn't want to start anyway.

"Your Highness Princess, please try this jujube mud cake. This is what I learned from the masters in the Chu Kingdom and the big restaurant in the early years. It uses butter, eggs and flour. It has a crispy outer skin and a soft and glutinous filling."

The oiran broke open a piece of jujube cake, and the delicate sweetness of red dates immediately spread out.

Except for the time Murong Chen fed her, Xiang Yingxue ate a little more. The rest of the time, she almost didn't touch the food. She would either drink some porridge or water, or secretly throw away the food.

This carefully made jujube paste cake suddenly aroused the greed in her stomach.

However, after all, I am in a wolf's den, and I don't have that much trust in people, especially strangers.

The oiran saw that she was clearly moved but hesitant to eat, so he guessed what she was thinking.

He stepped forward and took half of the jujube paste cake he had just broken open and put it in his mouth.

"Don't worry, princess. I won't harm you, and I don't dare to harm you. I just want to express my feelings."

Xiang Yingxue then relaxed her vigilance, picked up the other half and took a bite.

Mmm, it tastes really sweet!

The outer skin is crispy and has a faint aroma of fat. The jujube paste inside is peeled and the filling is very delicate.

His craftsmanship is comparable to that of the chef at Yongchun City's No. [-] Restaurant.

Just as he was about to praise her, he heard Murong Chen's voice from outside the door.

"Is there anyone else inside?"

"Go back to Your Highness, it's the person sent by General Iron Armor to deliver the cakes."
