Qi Zi picked the green vegetables and asked Defu to wash them while the empress cooked the dishes. Defu didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly took over and started washing them. He also made flour into noodles, mixed the eggs, and Defu's dishes were also washed.
.
Defu stood aside, and Qi Zi did not let him help, so he could only stand there in confusion, watching Qi Zi busy, his heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he thought: If the emperor knows, my life will be over.
Qi Zi poured the water in the pot and said, "Eunuch De, I want to trouble you to light the fire."
"I obey," he said, walking to the stove and lighting a fire.
After a while, he smelled the aroma of eggs, and he stood up. Qizi had put the eggs in the bowl, and added water to the pot. When the water boiled, he put the noodles in the pot, cooked for a while, picked them up, and added the green vegetables.
At this time, she put the eggs and noodles in a bowl. After adding the seasonings, the vegetables in the pot were cooked. She picked them up one by one and put them into the bowl. Then she scooped out the noodle soup. Suddenly the whole kitchen was filled with
fragrance.
Defu didn't dare to blink and marveled repeatedly. Qi Zi smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay, you can take it to General Lan."
Defu reflected and said with a smile: "Mother, you are really not simple. Your craftsmanship is better than that of the masters in Yushanfang."
Qi Zi felt a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, let's go over there quickly."
Defu picked up the noodles, and Qi Zi glanced outside and said, "You said the world is going down. How can General Lan be hungry now? If he eats now, do he still need to have dinner?"
"The queen is joking, I will definitely have dinner."
"Will Yunxuan Tower deliver it tonight?"
"Yes, it will be delivered in an hour."
Listening to Defu's words, Qi Zi remembered that the meals he ate every day were the best, but he always threw them away after finishing them. Every time this happened, Qi Zi felt heartbroken and felt it was a pity, but Xuan Yi was the emperor, so he only
Of course the accommodation was of the best quality, but he didn't want to think about the fact that some people still didn't have enough to eat.
Qi Zi said: "Eunuch De, I will cook in the evening, and you can return the meal ordered by Yunxuan Tower."
"Your Majesty, did you hear me right?"
"Why, do you not believe in my craftsmanship?"
"No, I don't dare." Seeing the noodles in front of him, could he not believe in her craftsmanship? "Mother, if the emperor knows..."
It's him again. Qi Zi felt angry and said, "You don't have to worry about him. What's the difference between wasting like this every day and being a fool?"
"Your Majesty, you can't say that. Your Majesty is a famous king through the ages." Defu said.
"Anyway, it's wrong to waste it like this." Although I felt unhappy cooking wolfberries for Xuan Yi, I had suffered and knew the sin.
"Okay, Madam, I dare to obey you today, but I can only cook one meal tonight, and I have to ask Yunxuanlou to deliver it tomorrow." Defu compromised and also stated the conditions.
Qi Zi smiled: "I know you are in trouble, so I'll let you go. Let's go out to buy groceries."
"Yes, I will come as soon as you go." Just as Defu was about to go out with his face held high, Lan Zihui said, "Eunuch De, I'm starving to death."
Seeing Qi Zi, he couldn't help but blush. He didn't expect Qi Zi to be here. His rudeness just now made him embarrassed and said: "My dear, I'm sorry."
"General Lan, no courtesy, just pretend I don't exist."
Lan Zihui smiled and Qi Zi said: "Eunuch De, since General Lan is here, put the bowl down and let's go out."
"Yes, empress."
After asking several people on the street, she found the vegetable market. This was a good opportunity to escape, but she couldn't guarantee whether it would be safe for Defu to go back. Xuan Yi's mood was uncertain. Who knew if he would really punish her?
Telford, I have to give up this time.
We just went to Yunxuan Tower to cancel tonight's dinner. Qi Zi and Defu are now buying vegetables in the vegetable market.
The vegetable market is a place that Qi Zi often went to in the past. Although the location is different, it is extremely familiar. It suddenly reminds me of it, as if I have returned to that time again. Just like now, I am holding a basket of vegetables and looking at the east and west.
The difference is that at that time, when I had no money, I would always pick out the cheapest food. But now, it is different. I have a payer by my side, so I don’t have to worry about this or that, and I can buy whatever I want.
Qi Zi bought a fish, a chicken, some meat, some lettuce, bones, and corn for soup, and the rest only bought vegetables.
Defu followed Qi Zi around with the cabbage basket, smiling broadly, and said: "Buying so much, the master will be very happy to know that you cooked dinner."
Qi Zi stopped and was dazzled by the familiar environment. He didn't expect that Xuan Yi still had a share. He suddenly took a breath and said fiercely: "I will just feed the dog."
Defu was stunned for a moment, then Qi Zi continued: "Let's go ahead and buy some vegetables."
Defu followed behind and thought: One is the emperor and the other is the queen. How come they behave so much like a civil couple quarreling?
As I was walking, there was a small group of people in front of me, and I heard a girl's pleading voice coming from the crowd: "Boss, please do it. My sister is sick and hasn't had anything to eat for several days. Can you
Can you please give me a steamed bun as charity?"
"Go away, I have nothing here for you." A male voice said angrily.
Qi Zi walked over curiously, but Defu, afraid of danger, stopped her and said, "Master, be careful."
Qi Zi smiled and said, "Mr. De is too worried. What can happen in broad daylight?" Then he walked towards the crowd regardless of the obstruction.
A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was kneeling on the ground, holding a white steamed bun in her hand. Her hair was unkempt, her clothes were dirty, and the white steamed bun in her hand had black fingerprints on it. She kept begging for a
Man, this steamed bun stall owner wouldn’t give her any steamed buns.
"Uncle, I beg you, just do it, the Bodhisattva will bless you." The girl continued to beg.
The stall owner said ungratefully: "I told you to get out of here. If you still want to eat steamed buns when you have no money, go and gnaw on rocks."
The girl burst into tears, and Qizi softened her heart. When she heard the woman's voice again, she felt familiar. She took out a couple of silver coins from her arms and handed them to the stall owner and said: "I bought all your baskets of steamed buns. You can pack them all."
Give it to this girl."
When he saw someone paying, the man immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, pack it up immediately." Then he said to the woman on the ground, "Good luck to you."
Qi Zi looked at her sympathetically, and the girl kept kowtowing to her, saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you girl for your kindness."
Qi Zi helped her up and said, "Get up quickly, don't keep kneeling."
The girl stood up and wiped her tears. She looked at Qi Zi and shouted in surprise: "Girl, it's you."
Qi Zi took a closer look and saw that the person in front of him was indeed someone he recognized. It was Fen'er, the maid of the Xiao Mansion. Qi Zi also shouted in surprise: "Fen'er, why are you here?"
