Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 177
There is only one kitchen in King Xian's mansion, and the chef in this mansion handles the cooking every day. After the cooking is done, the servants send it to the courtyards.

In fact, Gu Lingqing is the only master in this palace of the virtuous king, so it is easy to serve him. Zhao Min only eats dishes cooked by others because he is not used to them, and cooks them by himself most of the time.

For this reason, Gu Lingqing specially helped Zhao Min open a small kitchen in the yard, where she could cook for herself at any time.

Although Zhao Min has his own small kitchen and can cook and eat by himself, according to this rule, the kitchen of the Xianwang Mansion still provides Zhao Min with various dishes for every meal every day.

"Okay, thank you, Chef Wang."

"Go, Qinmei, be careful not to spill it on the road, be careful."

"Good." Qinmei carefully carried the soup in the tray and walked towards Yutingxuan.

When passing by a rockery, Qinmei looked left and right. Seeing no one, she stepped into the rockery, put the tray on the ground, took out a medicine bag from her arms, and opened it. Pour a small amount of white powder into the soup.

The medicine was poured into the soup, and it quickly melted into the soup. There was no abnormality in the soup, and it was not easy to be noticed.

After doing all this, Qinmei showed a stern expression on her face, then she picked up the tray, and after seeing that no one found her, she walked towards Yutingxuan.

It's a coincidence that in the past Zhao Min always enjoyed doing it, cooking and eating by himself, but today, he just didn't cook, and served the dishes from the kitchen on the table, including the bowl of soup of course.

"Miss, it's perfect to have a bowl of soup before meals." Qin Lan scooped up a bowl of soup, put it in front of Zhao Min, and then busily arranged other dishes for her.

At the beginning, everyone in the mansion called Zhao Min a girl, but as time passed, everyone found it awkward, so they changed their name to Miss.

Zhao Min didn't detect any abnormalities. After picking up the soup that Qin Lan gave him, he was about to drink it, but when he brought it to his mouth, Zhao Min smelled a different smell.

At this very moment, Zhao Min's thoughts turned back and forth, pretending not to hold the bowl steady.

The bowl fell from Zhao Min's hand, and the soup spilled on Ru skirt, and then fell to the ground.

"oops!"

Hearing Zhao Min's exclamation, he jumped up from the stool, and Qin Lan who was at the side quickly went up to check: "Miss, how is it, is there anything wrong? It's all your fault."

Zhao Min just smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'll go change my clothes first."

"Miss, I'll serve you." Qin Lan's eyes were full of self-blame, it must be because when she was pouring the soup for the lady just now, she didn't realize that the soup was too hot, which made the lady unsteady.

"Okay." The two of them went into the inner room to change their clothes. Qin Mei stayed where she was, looking at the traces on the ground, and regret flashed in her heart, but she still cleaned up the stains on the ground quickly.

After Zhao Min changed into new clothes and came out, looking at the dishes in front of him, he couldn't help frowning, and waved his hands: "Take it away, I suddenly feel no appetite."

After hearing this, Qinmei didn't have any big expressions on her face, she just prepared to remove all the dishes calmly, but Qinlan looked at Zhao Min worriedly: "What's wrong? Miss, I don't feel well. Is it not to your taste? Do you want me to ask the kitchen to make some appetizers and send them over."

Listening to Qin Lan talking about this in her ear, although Zhao Min felt a little noisy, she didn't feel bored, and sometimes found it interesting. After all, she had a crush on Qin Lan from the bottom of her heart. .

"Why are you here?" Seeing Gu Lingqing coming in, Zhao Min asked in surprise.

It's not yet noon, and in the past, Gu Lingqing was alone in the study with the door closed, and she didn't know that she was busy with Magic.

So at this moment, Zhao Min felt a little strange seeing him coming to Yu Ting Xuan.

Gu Lingqing, on the other hand, pretended to be angry after hearing what Zhao Min asked: "Why, why don't you welcome me? Then I'm leaving!"

Zhao Min just stood there, watching her pretending to leave, and did not persuade him at all.

Gu Lingqing turned around and walked out the door with a resolute attitude, but her pace was very slow. She had already reached the door and hadn't heard Zhao Min call herself back. After all, Gu Lingqing couldn't stretch her legs out and walked back: "Okay, I am back again."

Seeing his self-directed and self-acted behavior, Zhao Min laughed directly: "Childish."

No one has ever said that he is naive, but seeing the smile on Zhao Min's face, Gu Lingqing also felt it was worth it: "I will take you out for dinner later."

"Going out to eat? You can also eat at home!" Going out to eat costs money, and the food is not as good as your own. It is really not a wise choice. In fact, there is another important reason, mainly because the weather has changed recently. Cool, but Zhao Min didn't want to move anymore.

"Take you to meet two people." Gu Lingqing said mysteriously.

"Who?" Zhao Min's eyes widened, full of doubts.

"You'll know when we get there." Gu Lingqing stretched out her hand and tapped Zhao Min's nose lightly, but didn't answer her question, obviously trying to hide it to the end.

Near noon, Zhao Min followed Gu Lingqing to the most luxurious restaurant in the imperial city - Julinlou.

Looking at the size and decoration of the restaurant in front of him, Zhao Min couldn't help admiring in his heart, it was much taller than Laifu Inn.

Gu Lingqing took Zhao Min directly to the second floor, a room near the window.

When Gu Lingqing opened the door and led Zhao Min in, he saw a man and a woman sitting inside.

The man was wearing a white robe, Zhao Min had never seen him before, but Zhao Min had seen the woman next to him, it was Wang Zimo who rescued him at the Prince's Mansion that day.

Originally, Zhao Min wanted to find an opportunity to thank her properly, but he never thought that after that, he would never have the chance to talk to her until the end of the chrysanthemum appreciation feast.

Seeing her at this dinner today, Zhao Min also unconsciously felt a sense of intimacy in his heart, walked up to her, and gave her a grateful look.

After introducing their identities to each other, the four sat around the table.

"Thank you Ms. Wang that day. If it weren't for Ms. Wang, I'm afraid Zhao would lose face."

I saw Wang Zimo smiled slightly, and glanced at Gu Lingqing: "Miss Zhao, don't take it to heart, she is just entrusted by others, and it's nothing more than a little effort."

Of course, Zhao Min did not miss Wang Zimo's glance at Gu Lingqing. With just one glance, Zhao Min knew that Gu Lingqing must have arranged everything for him in advance, and he couldn't help being moved.
