Yuan Qingling looked at Sun Wang, who had lost weight, eating two plates of dim sum, one plate of fried lamb chops, two fried dishes, and a bowl of white rice. There was no juice left after eating.
"If it's not enough, second brother, just ask someone to make some more." Yuan Qingling felt that he was still looking at the empty plate longingly, with a pitiful feeling of not being full.
King Sun looked at her sternly. "No, the king wants to lose weight. You can't harm the king like this."
Yuan Qingling felt helpless. A man who was trying to lose weight came to her place to have a big meal, and then he blamed her for hurting him.
"Then second brother, don't eat it." Yuan Qingling had to say.
King Sun slowly raised his head, with a look of sorrow and anger on his face. "Didn't I just eat two snacks from you? Are you so angry?"
"No..." Yuan Qingling looked at his angry fat face. She lowered her shoulders and said helplessly, "I am. Second brother has almost eaten today. I will come back tomorrow."
"What snacks are you going to make tomorrow?" Sun Wang took out his handkerchief and wiped the greasy corners of his mouth gracefully. He asked casually, but there was too obvious expectation in his eyes.
"Second brother can ask the imperial chef to cook whatever he wants to eat." He was defeated.
"Just do something casually." Prince Sun lowered his eyes. He fiddled with his sleeve pocket for a few times and pulled out a list. "What a coincidence. It's the king's birthday in a few days. The princess wants to celebrate the king. Especially.
The menu has been customized. Why not ask the imperial chef to make a few dishes according to the menu, and Wang Hao can try the taste, so as not to be rude to the guests. The portion does not need to be too large. Wang is losing weight and cannot eat so much."
The list was placed on the table. Yuan Qingling took it over and looked at it. After counting it, he was stunned. "Second brother's birthday party, there are actually 38 dishes?"
"Although it is a bit extravagant, other places can be simplified and the theater troupe can be dispensed with. Don't treat the guests badly when it comes to food." King Sun said calmly.
"Then we can't cook thirty-eight dishes tomorrow." Yuan Qing Lingzhen worked hard for the imperial chef.
"I will do three things tomorrow, three more the day after tomorrow, and so on, and I should have done everything in ten days."
"Isn't it already the birthday party?"
"Delay!" The words were concise and to the point.
Foodies always have their own reasons.
She was almost certain that King Sun would come to visit her because the emperor sent two royal chefs to the mansion.
Facts proved that this was true. When he left, he didn't even say a word about Yuan Qingling's injury.
Early the next morning, Prince Ji and his wife, and Prince Qi and his wife arrived together.
There was a ten-day break in the court, so Yu Wenhao did not return to the Yamen today. He was talking to King Qi and King Ji in the main hall, while Princess Ji and Chu Mingcui were talking to Yuan Qing in Fengyi Pavilion.
Today, Chu Mingcui wore an autumn-colored plum blossom embroidered satin skirt with butterfly pattern, a high and pointed black bun, and a cloud-patterned hosta. There were no unnecessary decorations, but she looked fresh, pleasant, sweet and charming.
Her face was outstanding, with a touch of makeup and a smudged lip color that gave her a honey-like sheen.
Her eyebrows are beautiful, the tail of her eyebrows is slightly raised, and there is a hint of sharpness in her charm.
Looking at Princess Ji, she is wearing a cloud satin dress with a new green treasure pattern, a high bun, and a golden step. She looks ordinary, but has a dignified temperament. There is a black mole between her eyebrows. She comes from a hairpin family and is well-educated and sensible.
When I was with Chu Mingcui, I didn't feel that I was overshadowed by Chu Mingcui's light. Instead, I looked down-to-earth and generous.
On the contrary, Yuan Qingling's face was green and white, she was wearing a half-worn scarlet shirt, her hair was rolled up casually, and she applied a little lipstick in a hurry, but she couldn't hide her haggard look.
Princess Ji looked at her with a frightened look on her face and said, "I didn't expect that Marquis Huiding would be so arrogant and arrogant, and would dare to commit such evil deeds under the emperor's feet. Are the fifth brothers and sisters scared this time?"
"Fortunately, Princess Xie Ji is concerned." Yuan Qingling was not familiar with her and really didn't know what kind of person she was, so she could only respond politely.
When Chu Mingcui heard what Princess Ji said, she felt a little unhappy. Although it was Marquis Huiding who caused the trouble, he acted deliberately in front of her.
She said nothing, just looked at Yuan Qingling.
The two had been on bad terms before, so there was no need to be hypocritical now. It was just that she came over to keep an eye on King Qi when he was about to come. That was stupid.
Princess Ji was very enthusiastic, "I heard that my father sent two royal chefs to the mansion, why don't we have a meal together today? Our sisters-in-law haven't sat together and talked for a long time."
Yuan Qingling nodded, "Okay!"
The three of them had nothing to talk about, but Princess Ji was really good at getting things done. She didn't let the atmosphere cool down, and kept asking Yuan Qing Ling to ask questions. Inside and outside the palace, they kept talking about serving the Supreme Emperor.
"What are the preferences of the Supreme Emperor? Is it difficult for the Supreme Emperor to take care of you when you are serving in the Qiankun Palace?"
Yuan Qingling became a little alert now, and smiled and said, "I only serve the Emperor in the palace to take medicine, and I don't need to do most of the other things. And the Emperor rarely talks to me on weekdays, so he doesn't find it difficult to serve him."
.”
"Really? But I heard that the Supreme Emperor asked you to accompany him for a walk in the imperial garden." Princess Ji smiled.
"That's what happened." Yuan Qing Ling said. He was just accompanying the Supreme Emperor for a walk, and he attracted the attention of so many people. He was really flattered.
Why doesn’t King Sun, a foodie, come?
"Then the Supreme Emperor still trusts you. He hasn't been out of the Royal Garden for a long time. This time he wants you to accompany him. And I heard that you are supporting him, right?" Princess Ji asked enthusiastically.
Yuan Qingling smiled so hard that her face stiffened, "The Emperor was in a particularly good mood that day."
"It shows that you have served me well." Princess Ji was full of praise.
Will the foodie, King Sun, come?
Chu Mingcui was as embarrassed as Yuan Qingling. She didn't want to hear any of this. She could just ask about this kind of thing casually. Why bother asking Yuan Qingling like this? This question made her feel arrogant.
This Princess Ji is really pervasive.
She simply got up and said, "Why don't we go for a walk."
Yuan Qingling stood up immediately, "Okay!"
Princess Ji stepped forward and took Yuan Qingling's arm, "You are still injured, so walk more carefully."
Yuan Qingling couldn't laugh or cry, this man really couldn't look good.
Princess Ji looks dignified and steady, but her behavior is a bit frivolous. It seems that she can't have peace even when she goes out for a walk.
However, Aunt Xi was always good at reading people's faces. Seeing that Yuan Qingling didn't want to be conceited, she stepped forward and said, "Princess, it's time to ask the imperial doctor to change the dressing."
Yuan Qingling said apologetically to Princess Ji, "I'm really sorry. I have to accompany you for a while. I'll see you at the dinner table later."
"Change the dressing?" Princess Ji wanted to help, but when she thought about the bloody wound, it was really disgusting, so she had to say, "Okay, I'll see you later."
Chu Mingcui had already gone out. Talking to the two women was really boring. Her heart had already flown to the main hall, where he was, and she hadn't seen him for many days.
When he came in just now, he only glanced at her from afar and without even saying hello, he was dragged to Fengyi Pavilion by Princess Ji.
