royal princess

Chapter 287

At this time, Si Jin's heart was a little broken.

Xiao Qi said that he wanted her to go to Chongming Palace for lunch, but who knew that he actually asked her to change clothes and took her out of the palace, saying that he wanted to take her to a good place to eat good food.

I didn't want to but met Qin Yuchuan here.

In fact, she really doesn't remember Qin Yuchuan's appearance very much, the boy in the dream has already gradually faded from her memory.Now seeing each other suddenly, Si Jin is very worried, won't he recognize that he is a Xibei guy?

Her heart was pounding, and Si Jin also knew that in front of Xiao Qi, she should not be too flustered, and everything should go with the flow is the best.

Peat, what she panicked was not because she had any affection for Qin Yuchuan, but because she was afraid of being seen through.

Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows, and he didn't expect to meet Qin Yuchuan here. If he hadn't decided to leave the palace suddenly, he would have thought that he was deliberately blocking people, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Qin Yuchuan here." To Lord Qin."

Qin Yuchuan looked calm, respectful, and bowed slightly, "I have invited two friends to have a drink in Jingulou, and I was late because of something, I don't want to meet Master Xiao and Madam just by chance."

"Oh, it's a coincidence that you are also in Jingulou. I also come here for dinner today." Xiao Qi smiled lightly and said casually, but looked at Si Jin.

I saw her expression was calm and unwavering, with a slight smile on her brows and eyes, and her eyes were as gentle as water. The way she looked at Qin Yuchuan was not much different from looking at an ordinary person. The tense thread in her heart eased all of a sudden. .

Originally thinking that the draft was coming soon, although Si Jin said that she didn't care, but when she fell asleep at night, she would always see her frowning slightly unhappy, so she thought of taking her out for a walk.

Now that he is in power, he will take the woman he loves out of the palace, as long as he is silent, those ministers will not dare to hum.

But it was such an inch, the first time I brought Si Jin out, I met her little bamboo horse.

Xiao Qi was depressed in his heart, but as an emperor, he couldn't be stingy. It would be too embarrassing to be compared to Qin Yuchuan.

Calm down!

Isn't it just a little bamboo horse!
Si Jin was smiling, but she was scolding her mother in her heart. Since then, the tastes of the monarch and his ministers have always been the same.

Don't you just want to come out to have a meal, make a date by the way, and live a long-lost couple's life, why is it so difficult?

What kind of luck is it to meet a little bamboo horse when you go out?

Say hello and part ways quickly.

good for everyone!
"It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. If Master Xiao and his wife are willing to show respect, why not have a meal together?" Qin Yuchuan bowed and made a gesture of invitation.

Si Jin: ...

What's the situation now?
Si Jin never expected to live a two-person world with Xiao Qi, and even have lunch with his courtiers.

Of course, no one dared to eat at the same table as the emperor, so everyone divided into two tables.

Si Jin thought it was too embarrassing.

Jingulou's dishes are full of color, flavor and taste, such as bird's nest shredded chicken soup, stewed tendon with sea cucumber, stewed ham with fish maw, steamed hump, steamed deer tail, and duck feet soup with hibiscus eggs. The table is full of dozens of dishes.The hooker's appetite soared, and Si Jin discovered that these dishes were all her favorites.

Xiao Qi ordered the menu.

She looked up, then Xiao Qi smiled at her, and said softly: "I have wanted to take you out for a long time, but I have been too busy. Try this. You always say that Yue Changxin's cooking is not authentic, but this taste ?”

Si Jin looked at the pot roasted duck brought by Xiao Qi, and was silent. Why did she dislike Yue Changxin's dishonesty?

It seemed that she said something casually once, but it was so long ago that she couldn't remember it herself.

Si Jin only felt that the light was on her back, and she could feel the gazes of the people opposite her, sizing her up and down.

The table is divided into two seats, one in the south and one in the north, and the monarch and his ministers sit facing each other.

Si Jin tried her best not to look up at the situation on the opposite table, lowered her head and put the roasted duck in the pot into her mouth.After taking a bite, I was a little surprised, the taste is really better than that of Yue Changxin.

Authentic pot-roasted duck is crispy on the outside and tender. It is called pot-roasted duck. It is actually a combination of boiling, steaming and frying. The taste is really authentic.

Seeing Si Jin's expression, Xiao Qi smiled and said, "How is it? I didn't lie to you."

Speaking of delicious food, Si Jin forgot to restrain herself for a moment, nodded and said, "Sure enough, I have some skills, and the taste is indeed more delicious than Yue Changxin's."

"Rouge goose preserved is also your favorite food. How is Jingulou's craftsmanship different from Yue Changxin's?"

Si Jin sat down again and ate rouge goose breast. Next to him, Xiao Qi asked Guan Changan to bring over the plate of drunken freshwater shrimps, and peeled the shells for Si Jin himself after washing his hands.

Qiu Shucun felt that he was going to be blind, shouldn't he be a concubine and serve the emperor thoughtfully?

Kan Kan glanced at Guan Changan, and found that his expression was calm, not surprised, it seems that the emperor must be used to doing such things!

He seems to have discovered some great secret!

Dong Fangzhou stared at the plate in front of him respectfully from the beginning to the end, eating in a proper manner.It's not like Qiu Shu kept a pair of eyes that were not enough, and scattered them around.

The only thing I was worried about was Qin Yuchuan. I glanced out of the corner of my eye, and saw that his expression was indifferent, and he seemed to be a little dazed looking at the dishes in front of him, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

It has long been heard that the emperor dotes on Concubine Xi very much, but it is indeed a little uncomfortable to dote on this kind of thing.

Peeling prawns with your own hands is an ordinary household. I'm afraid no husband will do it for his wife.

The point is, Concubine Xi's face is so peaceful, she is really too stable, doesn't she feel panic at all?

Qiu Shucun felt a little flustered, he already considered himself a gentle prodigal son who treated his confidante kindly.But how can you compare yourself to a scum when compared with the emperor?
This feeling is really bad.

Too bad!

So depressing!

When she looked up again, she saw that the emperor was picking fishbone for Concubine Xi, and she felt that she was a little bit bad.

This steamed saury was fresh and tender, Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi and asked, "There seems to be no such fresh fish in the palace?"

You can't eat it in the palace, but you can get it in Jingulou, which is a bit weird.

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin puzzled, so he explained to her in a low voice, "All the ingredients sent into the palace have to go through strict inspections, like this kind of living things, they have to stay in the palace for a period of time before they can be served on the table." .So the taste is naturally not as good as freshly fished from the river."

This is because I am afraid that someone will tamper with it, so it can be used by the emperor if it is no problem to raise it for a few days.

Of course, it is not as good as freshly caught.

It's not easy to be an emperor, and if you want to eat something fresh, that's not enough.

Thinking of this, Si Jin picked up a piece for him with chopsticks and put it on the plate, "You eat too, don't just focus on me, I can eat by myself."

Xiao Qi added it up and put it in his mouth, he smiled without saying a word, but he was very proud in his heart.

The two of them are used to eating at Yihexuan, and they are very familiar with each other's eating habits. The tacit understanding at the dinner table comes from the bottom of their bones.

At first Si Jin was still a little scruples and uncomfortable, but under Xiao Qi's persuasive temptation, she lost that sense of restraint after a while, and only cared about eating.

At this time, Xiao Qi picked up his wine glass and looked at the three courtiers opposite, "It's really an accident that we met today. All the ministers have been loyal to the country in the past and shared the worries and hardships of the people. I respect you."

The three hurriedly got up and picked up the wine glasses, saying that they didn't dare.

Xiao Qi smiled, "Today is just a private meeting, don't be restrained, sit down, sit down, and eat."

"Thank you, Majesty Long En." The three said in unison.

Where can I taste any taste, I am blinded just looking at the concubine's show of affection.

Qin Yuchuan raised his brows quietly, just when he saw Si Jin turned his head to Xiao Qi and said something, then Xiao Qi stretched out his long hand, picked food for her and put it in a bowl.

That was a dish she didn't like to eat when she was a child, and he remembered it clearly, every time he ate together, he would quietly pour it into his bowl.

The brows and eyes are calm and indifferent, and he is very comfortable getting along with the emperor, without any cautious look at all.

It seems that her life in the palace is really good, the emperor treats her...it is really wonderful.

The dish I hated the most when I was a child is now a joy to eat.The man sitting next to her looked at her with focused and soft eyes, and at her bright smile, Qin Yuchuan slowly lowered his head.I just feel that today's wine seems to be very strong.

Halfway through the meal, the monarchs and ministers began to talk about state affairs.

Xiao Qi never let Concubine Xi avoid suspicion, so everyone could only follow the emperor's words to talk about it.

Naturally, Si Jin would not intervene in matters in the courtroom, but when everyone's topic turned to Juehu County, Si Jin looked at Xiao Qi in astonishment, "Jehu County is going to be reformed?"

When Si Jin interrupted so suddenly, the expressions of the next three people changed slightly.

Dong Fangzhou frowned tightly, the harem is not allowed to do politics, and Concubine Xi has overstepped the bounds.

Qiu Shu thought to himself, oh, this is really too bold, this kind of thing sounds like a great connivance to you, why would you interrupt so easily, I'm afraid the emperor will be angry.

Qin Yuchuan stared closely at the two opposite people, only thinking that if Xiao Qi lost his temper, he would immediately step forward to intercede.

Si Jin was still too negligent, how could she openly ask about state affairs.

As Si Jin spoke, she felt the tension of the three people opposite, and then she suddenly remembered that this was not in Yihexuan, she and Xiao Qi were used to casually asking questions when they had something to say, the end result of the habit is that they make mistakes when they relax for a while up.

Si Jin coughed lightly, and immediately lowered her head to eat to hide her embarrassment.

Xiao Qi looked at her pretending, and laughed in his heart, but his face remained unchanged, his tone slowed down, and he explained slowly: "Your father has stayed in Juehu County for several years, and now things over there have been done step by step. I want to transfer him back to Beijing, so that you father and daughter can see each other from time to time."

They didn't expect Xiao Qi to give a serious explanation, not to mention the three people opposite, even Si Jin couldn't say it was an accident, but she was a little touched, knowing that Xiao Qi was trying to save her face.She wasn't that stupid, and immediately said: "The courtiers and concubines listen to the emperor, and I miss my father very much, so it's good to come back. Now that my brother is doing his best for the country, my father should enjoy life in peace."
