Chapter 725: True Nobility
Zheng Xiaorou knocked on the door, but no one answered. She knocked again, but it was still silent. She had to shout outside the door: "Xiaobao, get up quickly, someone is coming from the palace!"
"Well... sister-in-law, come in!" Xiaobao was depressed and a hoarse voice came.
Zheng Xiaorou pushed the door and saw Xiaobao sitting on the bed, her whole quilt wrapped around her body, her inner collar was also sleeping loosely, revealing her bony ribs and her hair was messy.
"Xiaobao, be sober, people from the palace are passing messages. It's Madam Wang." Zheng Xiaorou came in and searched for Xiaobao's clothes.
"Well...Who is Madam Wang?" Xiaobao's voice was still confused without awakening. One eye was narrowed and the other was closed, like a murmur.
"Baoer, sister-in-law knows that you are tired and haven't woken up, but there is no way. You must wake up immediately." Zheng Xiaorou quickly turned out Xiaobao's clothes and suggested: "There is cold tea on the table. If you pour a cup of tea, you can wake up faster;
Madam Wang is by the queen and comes to send a message to you to enter the palace for dinner and say she welcomes you."
Zheng Xiaorou suddenly approached Xiaobao and smelled his collar: "Oh, why not change the inner clothes as well, it's quite delicious... Also, I'll let Baijiaxing go with you."
Xiaobao has been on the road for nearly two months. Not to mention taking a shower, he didn't even wash his face more than one slap in his hand. He went to bed without washing up at the Blue House. It was quite delicious.
Xiaobao did not change his inner clothes, but only took the outer clothes handed over by Zheng Xiaorou: "It's good, it's original. My mother won't dislike me, it's all my business if others dislike it."
Zheng Xiaorou knew that Xiaobao was called to the palace because she was unhappy with Chu Qing, and now she was just deliberately exhaling to "get up" and said to him: "That's right, it's good to change the outer clothes. If I want to change it, I don't want to give you this face!"
Xiaobao grabbed Zheng Xiaorou's wrist and refused to take off her clothes: "Sister-in-law, itchy! Don't be afraid, it's better to hold me off, so that my mother will be safe."
Zheng Xiaorou looked at Xiaobao in surprise: "What do you say?"
Xiaobao didn't even see the price of a can of fish roe sauce on a table.
Xiaobao nodded: "It's very likely."
The so-called "rules are set by people", which is most obvious in the palace: Not to mention that there are different seats at the age of seven, and with the queen there, Xiaobao sits opposite the princess for dinner, who dares to say what?
The queen was very considerate and asked someone to set up a large round table. There were twenty-four dishes on the table, saying that they were greeting Xiaobao, which really reflected "sincerity".
Fortunately, it was the nanny who came to pass the message, and Zheng Xiaorou felt a little relieved: There would be no danger.
If he just went to the palace for a meal, even the emperor would show up, Zheng Xiaorou would not be very worried. After all, Chu Qing had a fight in the court.
Besides, it was the personal nanny next to the queen who came to invite her, not just a eunuch who passed the message, nor was it the guard in the palace. Her tone was also very polite, which made Zheng Xiaorou not that nervous.
Zheng Xiaorou was a little numb: "What should I do?" Then she took off Xiaobao's clothes: "We won't go, lie down, I'll go down and tell the nanny now, saying you're sick!"
"It's better to just have a meal," Zheng Xiaorou said with concern: "You'll come back immediately after you're done. Have you heard that? I'm afraid I'll leave both of you in the palace."
Chu Qing looked at Xiaobao with a look of relief but full of sorrow. Xiaobao seemed to be unable to feel it. He was digging out a spoonful of fish roe with a big fingertip, put it in the tiger's mouth, and taught Princess Zhaohua: "Look, let it go for a while, it will be warm, eat it!"
Xiaobao didn't come empty-handed either. Madam Wang presented two cans of sturgeon roe sauce that Xiaobao brought from the Blue House. This is the sauce made from newly caught sturgeon seeds in autumn, and it is fresh.
As he said that, he sighed again: "Oh, I have never been my mother's armor, but I have always been my mother's weakness." His tone was full of self-blame.
"I asked Si'er to go with me. It's not certain whether I can let her in. I'll just keep Si'er running errands outside the palace. Sister-in-law, you have to stay in the store with my elder brother." Xiaobao said.
Her emperor has always been frugal, and the cost in the palace is not as luxurious as that of the ministers' family. The emperor has ten dishes at a meal, among which raw tofu is also one dish, and Zhaohua has only four to six dishes for each meal.
The queen served twenty-four dishes today, and it seemed like a lot of them, with an average of only six dishes per person.
Because she was brought by Madam Wang, the body search when she entered the palace was not strict. Xiaobao's flying tiger claws were hidden between her legs and were not found. Instead, she took out the eight iron blocks tied to her calf.
Zheng Xiaorou covered her mouth suddenly, and an uncertain question came from her fingers: "You mean, will you be taken as a hostage?"
Xiaobao: "Either keep me in the palace or my mother stays in the palace. There will always be someone who can stay behind to rest. But my mother can make money, and they should keep me."
But when Xiaobao said that it was possible to be detained, Zheng Xiaorou became at a loss.
Besides, Chu Qing has not let his children suffer much grievances since childhood. He would rather not buy new clothes than buy meat!
"Little Gan Gan" and "Let'a" hovered high in the sky, looking down at the carriage below, and their figures shuttled through the half-black night.
He said that, he should help Xiaobao put it on his body quickly.
Xiaobao didn't think anything. He was so hard that he could eat dead bread like a stone, and he was still eating delicious food. He had eaten many dishes!
Not to mention anything else, the food street, the food on each street is not comparable to the twenty-four dishes?
Xiaobao is not inferior to Chu Qing in terms of using complex programs to reflect the value of aristocratic people.
That was the person from the palace, the queen's personal nanny, even if she was angry, she could not offend her. Chu Qing was still in the palace.
However, the dishes are exquisitely made, such as fried quails with three fresh bamboo shoots, moistened jiaozi, etc., and made three or four with wings.
Princess Zhaohua's eyes lit up.
The iron block that was not removed even when sleeping, Xiaobao felt like he was about to fly.
As long as she could let her mother be free, she would enter the palace and Xiaobao would dress neatly and leave.
As Xiaobao expected, Sier could not follow the palace, so he waited outside the palace.
Xiaobao seemed to be completely awake, and he whispered: "Sister-in-law, it is very likely that we will not come back tonight. Don't worry, you can come back one tomorrow."
Not only that, Xiaobao put the fish roe sauce in his mouth, and ran over and closed his mouth and approached the princess, letting her hear the "pop" sound of the fish roe being burst by the tip of the tongue. This action scared Zhaohua. Xiaobao is a man!
Xiaobao also taught Zhaohua to eat fish roe sauce on the hard biscuits he brought.
Zhaohua has a special liking for another salmon roe sauce I got from the Blue House before, because the small orange-red particles look more beautiful than the gray-black sturgeon roe, and...
Princess Zhaohua said: "Crystal clear, round and full, the fish paste has a rich aroma and a thick taste. It tastes slightly salty at first, and the taste is sweet afterwards..."
Dig a spoonful and put it in your mouth, close your eyes and smash the fish roe one by one with the tip of your tongue, and burst: "Well... I seem to have tasted the fragrance of the ocean... The deliciousness lingers for a long time..."
