The maid was still young and it was the first time she served the prince and the princess so close. She couldn't help but feel timid.
"It turned out that Qiuyue asked you to come..." Wei Zijin nodded, feeling relieved about Qiuyue's work, and believed in her picky eyes. She asked with a smile: "What's your name?"
"My servant is Qinglian..." The maid called Qinglian raised her head tremblingly, facing Wei Zijin's gentle smile, and felt inexplicably relieved.
Sister Qiuyue told her that the princes and princesses were all generous people. Now it seems that, even though she was not satisfied with her serving tea, she did not scold or teach her any lessons!
"Qinglian... is a good name!" Wei Zijin nodded and asked with a smile: "I heard what you said just now, could this tea be made by you with your own hands?"
"Yes... I made it!" Qinglian also knew that her tea-making skills were not good, so she lowered her head and replied embarrassedly: "I am not good at learning skills. I volunteered to make tea, and ask the prince and the princess to forgive me!"
"It's rare for you to have this kind of heart!" Wei Zijin waved his hand and said with a smile: "From the future, you can serve Qiaoxiang. Cooking tea is a science, and I will teach you slowly in the future!"
"Thank you, Princess, thank you!" Qinglian was overjoyed and bowed to Wei Zijin and Xiao Jingyao to thank you at the same time. Knowing that the princess finally agreed to her service, the big stone pressing on her heart fell to the ground.
She was a little maid who had just started to work in the kitchen, but now she was able to serve the princess and become one of the princess's personal maids. This is a huge reward for her!
"Since Qiu Yue recommended you, you should follow the princess in the future, and you should know how to behave. Do you understand?" Xiao Jingyao reminded Qinglian at the right time. Qinglian nodded respectfully and gave the prince a word of this.
Remember the earth in my heart.
With the various meals that Wei Zijin personally told the kitchen to prepare, and the old housekeeper's inspection, this dinner was particularly plentiful, which was especially suitable for Xiao Jingyao's appetite.
Xiao Jingyao looked at the stewed elbows, goose palms, soup bones, milk-cooked sheep, onion rabbits, fried quails, pheasant soup, horn-roasted waist, fake yuan fish, etc., and asked in surprise: "Zi Jin
,Don’t you like to eat these greasy things? How can the people in the kitchen ignore your taste for me alone?"
Although Xiao Jingyao loved to eat these, he didn't want Wei Zijin to see these greasy dishes difficult to eat. He was about to instruct the housekeeper to change the dishes, but Wei Zijin waved his hand to stop him.
"I specially asked the kitchen to prepare these. Today, you have been in the imperial court since the end of the year. Since Wu night, you have been on the imperial side to watch the Nuo ceremony at the end of the year. I have been tired for most of the day. I just treat it as me to reward you..." Wei Zijin said this,
He picked up a piece of goose palm into his bowl and said with a smile: "Eat while it's hot!"
Seeing that Xiao Jingyao finished eating quickly, Wei Zijin poured him a glass of hot wine and asked with a smile: "How does it taste?"
Xiao Jingyao nodded with satisfaction, and specially picked up some less greasy dishes into Wei Zijin's bowl, sighed: "Although I love drinking while eating goose prawns, I think it's delicious for the first time..."
Perhaps it is because this is the first time in many years that she has been with him, as his wife, to stay up with him for the New Year!
"Is that right?" Wei Zijin also ate a piece of goose palm, nodded and smiled, "It tastes really good. The chefs in the mansion are no less skilled than those in the palace's imperial chefs!"
