Gluttonous Crown Princess - Chapter 75
After resting for two days, the fifth prince brought the six princesses to Yaoguang Hall.
To show the importance, the fifth prince brought a generous gift, and the sixth princess wore a new dress.
The two children look good and have good temperaments, even more outstanding than those little models in the previous life. When they appear together, they look like the fairy boy beside the Bodhisattva.
The fifth prince met Tao Ti two days ago. This time, he was not so excited. He only bowed his hands respectfully, “Sister-in-law, Wanfu.”
The six princesses happily ran towards Tao Ti, like a little butterfly dancing waggingly, shouting sweetly, “Sister-in-law, you are back!”
Tao Ti held the cat in his arms and smiled softly at them, “Little Five, Little Six, you are here.”
The two children also noticed the soft cute kitten in her arms, and their eyes lit up, “Wow, what a beautiful kitten.”
Tao Ti introduced, “This is the ingot.”
Yuan Bao is very smart, and has adapted to this name in two days. When he hears these two words, he instinctively “meow” as a response.
The three and a cat, sitting under the big green tree in front of the court, exquisitely offered a pot of kumquat green tea and some small snacks.
The fifth prince and the sixth princess were very interested in Tao Ti’s trip to Luoyang, and they had many questions.
Of course, they are most concerned about Luoyang’s assassination.
Although the fifth prince had heard it last time, there were a lot of doubts in his heart. At this moment, all the questions came out, and Tao Ti answered one by one.
After talking about this, Tao Ti talked about the matter in the Mu Palace again.
After listening to the fifth prince, he clenched his fists and said angrily, “I didn’t expect this Mu Wangshizi to be so bad. He came to the palace last year, and I called him a cousin! Pooh, he’s not worthy!”
The six princesses lowered their eyes and sighed, “Those girls are really cute, and their families must be very sad.”
Tao Ti captured the reaction of the two of them. They were also imperial children. Both Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were well-educated. They didn’t regard the lives of the people like grass, and as a sister-in-law, she was very happy in her heart.
Chatting, licking the cat, and drinking tea, the whole afternoon passed quickly.
Seeing the darkening of the sky, the fifth prince and the sixth princess reluctantly left.
Before leaving, Tao Ti gave them the souvenir she bought from Luoyang. The two children were surprised and delighted when they saw it.
For them, the gift is second, and the most important thing is the heart that is remembered.
After thanking Tao Ti happily, the two children left Yaoguang Hall briskly.
…
In the Mingyue Palace, Concubine Xu Gui lazily leaned on the ginger-yellow pillow embroidered with lush green branches to read a book.
Seeing the five princes coming back with a bunch of things, his beautiful eyes flicked in surprise, “Didn’t you give gifts? Why are you going out for a while? There are more things?”
The fifth prince raised his chin, “These are all gifts that the prince concubine and sister-in-law brought me from Luoyang!”
Concubine Xu Gui raised her eyebrows. It is rare that this prince concubine can have this kind of intention.
When I got back to my senses, I saw my son’s proud look, angry and funny, “You little bunny, your uncle and cousin always give you things when they go to other places. Why haven’t you seen you so happy? ”
The Fifth Prince said with a hippie smile, “The first time the prince concubine and sister-in-law gave me a gift, it is different.”
As he said, he took out one of them and held it in front of Xu Guifei like a treasure, “Mother concubine, this is a gift from my sister-in-law. I opened it and saw it. It’s a beautiful set of jewelry.”
Concubine Xu Gui glanced at the exquisite carved box, did not open it immediately, but said to the fifth prince, “Well, you go back to the house and wash your face. It’s almost time for dinner.”
The fifth prince responded and turned back to his bedroom.
Concubine Xu Gui’s eyes fell on the jewelry box again, and the maid on the side knowingly bent over to open it, and praised, “Manny, this set of ruby heads is really good. You have white skin and rubies are the most suitable.”
Concubine Xu Gui casually picked up one of the gold hairpins with a ruby lotus pattern, staring at the ruby red light, and said lightly, “This prince is a sensible concubine.”
The grand palace girl said, “Yes, we didn’t have much contact between the Mingyue Palace and the East Palace. Since the princess married in, the two palaces have come close. Empress, is the princess deliberately wooing you?”
Concubine Xu Gui squinted her beautiful eyes, pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, “It’s not like it.”
The grand palace lady was startled.
Concubine Xu Gui put the golden hairpin back into the box and said, “I really like her. Just walk closer as soon as you get closer. It doesn’t hurt anyway.”
The lady of the palace said, “Don’t you worry about the empress and empress…”
Concubine Xu Gui sneered, “She deliberately pretends to look like a mother and a virtuous empress, but Donggong is not stupid. Everyone is just fooling around with her face…”
Having said this, she stopped her voice, her slender fingers clasped the jewelry box lightly.
I don’t know if it is her illusion, the queen seems to be a little impetuous recently.
Could it be that the assassination of the prince has something to do with them?
Alas, the queen really couldn’t hold his breath. What was anxious, she had been dormant for so many years, so what if she waited for a year or two?
………
At noon the next day, Xu Wenchan came to Yaoguang Hall with a heavy gift.
“Ati!!!”
As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Xu Wenchan howled loudly.
Seeing Tao Ti, he charged up with an enthusiastic bear hug, “Uuuuu, Ati.”
Tao Ti, who was about to suffocate, said, “Good, good, if you have something to say, let me go first…”
Xu Wenchan let go of her, her round eyes were wet and worried, “Do you know that I heard the news of your assassination? I was so scared to death that I haven’t slept well for several nights.”
“Am I not standing in front of you?” Tao Ti smiled and looked up and down Xu Wenchan, and said in surprise, “A Chan, I haven’t seen you for more than a month, you seem to have lost weight.”
Hearing this, Xu Wenchan wasn’t too happy, curled his lips and said aggrieved, “It’s not because of you.”
Tao Ti, “Me?”
Xu Wenchan nodded, “After I heard that you had an accident, I took my mother to the temple to pray for you. She stayed for half a month and became a vegetarian every day, so she naturally lost weight…”
She moved her face closer, “Look at my face, is it all a dish?”
Tao Ti didn’t expect that she would have done this for herself, and her heart was moved.
After a while, she raised her hand and patted Xu Wenchan on the shoulder, “In order to compensate you for not eating meat for half a month, I will make you some delicious food to make you full?”
When Xu Wenchan heard it, he smiled and revealed two cute dimples, “Okay, how much do you make, how much I eat!”
Seeing Tao Ti, Xu Wenchan was about to get up, and Xu Wenchan hurriedly grabbed her, “I’ll do it later, let’s talk first, you are not in Chang’an, I’m so lonely, I want to tell you if I hold my stomach.”
Tao Ti sat down again and ordered Linglong to get some snacks.
In a short while, Linglong served a variety of preserves, pastries, fruits, as well as homemade spicy strips, and a pot of brightly colored bayberry wine.
This spicy noodle is made with oily bean curd. Although it does not have as many flavors as modern spicy noodles, it is healthy and delicious.
Spicy strips are served on one end, and the strong and rich spicy flavor digs straight into the nose.
Xu Wenchan was still talking about the anecdotes that happened in Chang’an City. As soon as he smelled the scent, his attention was drawn to him unconsciously, “Hey, what kind of food is this? It smells strange.”
Tao Ti said, “This is spicy strips, made with oily bean curd, can you try it?”
Xu Wenchan immediately reached out and picked up one, only to see a faint red oil glow on the yellow oily bean skin, and some fine chili powder, besides, there were some white sesame seeds hanging on it.
It looks simple, but I don’t know how it tastes.
She thought this way and sent it to her mouth.
At the first entrance, hemp, spicy, salty, and fragrant, these four sensations occupy the brain consciousness. The taste is not too amazing, but you chew, the more you chew, the more fragrant, and then one by one, like an addiction to eating. Like, can’t stop at all.
Xu Wenchan: I can’t control my mouth!
Tao Ti saw Xu Wenchan’s hot breath and kept eating. He squinted and smiled, “If it’s spicy, drink some bayberry wine. It’s just been soaked for two days, it’s not very intoxicating.”
She picked up the magnificent red bayberry wine and filled two large glasses.
The weather is getting hotter day by day. This bayberry wine is sizzled with ice, and one sip is sour and sweet, which relieves the heat and relieves the greasy, refreshing.
The two little sisters were just like that, eating spicy sticks and drinking bayberry wine, chatting all over the world.
After Xu Wenchan talked about the anecdotes and gossip about the capital, Tao Ti went on to say what she had seen, heard, and thought about in Luoyang.
Xu Wenchan heard it with gusto. After hearing it, she blinked her eyes and stared at Tao Ti with a serious expression, “Ati, I found something.”
Tao Ti, “Huh?”
Xu Wenchan, “You speak now, as if three sentences are not separated from the prince.”
Tao Ti was startled, and touched her nose with some guilty conscience, “Is there?”
Xu Wenchan nodded, “Yes, you didn’t do this before.”
Tao Ti replied, “Maybe because I was with the prince every day in Luoyang, so I mentioned more often…”
Xu Wenchan muttered “Is that so?” Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, her slick eyes rolled, and finally her eyes rounded, and she looked at Tao Ti in surprise, “Ati, Do you like His Royal Highness?”
Tao Ti, who had just picked up the bayberry wine, said, “Cough cough cough.”
She wiped her mouth with her kerchief, her white face was glowing bright red. She didn’t know if it was choking, bayberry wine, or shy.
After calming down, Tao Ti met Xu Wenchan’s gaze, her eyes filled with the tenderness and determination of a young girl, “Well, I like him.”
Xu Wenchan, “Wow!”
Tao Ti flushed even more, “He likes me too.”
Xu Wenchan said, “Wow!!”
Like most girls who just fell in love, Tao Ti was ashamed and couldn’t wait to share with Xu Wenchan the process of mutual understanding between her and Pei Yan.
Xu Wenchan listened, holding her face unconsciously, her eyes longing: when will sweet love be her turn?
Seeing that her friend was in love with His Royal Highness, Xu Wenchan was also very happy for Tao Ti. When she was about to reserve the position of the little emperor Sun Ganniang, she suddenly thought of something very serious–
It is said that the prince will not live to be twenty-three years old. Ati now likes the prince so much. If the prince is not there in two years, wouldn’t she be sad to die?
For a moment, Xu Wenchan remembered the sadomasochistic scripts he had seen before. Who died young, and the other went to Huangquan with life and death together…
Xu Wenchan suddenly became nervous and grabbed Tao Ti’s hand, “Ati, or you still don’t like the prince.”
Tao Ti, “…?”
Xu Wenchan thought for a while, but also felt that this was not quite right.
She frowned, her not-so-smart little brain trying to think of the best of both worlds.
She didn’t want to watch her friend’s heart break, life and death, she also wanted to live her 80th birthday with Ati.
After thinking about it, she suddenly had an idea, her black eyes lit up, and she waved to Tao Ti mysteriously.
Tao Ti was strange, but still leaned forward.
Xu Wenchan listened to her ears and whispered, “Ati, have you paid the prince of Zhou Gong’s gift?”
Tao Ti stayed for a while, her face flushed, and her words were uncomfortable, “You, you, why are you asking this all of a sudden.”
Xu Wenchan, “Not yet? Then you have to hurry up.”
Tao Ti’s black eyes were perplexed.
Xu Wenchan said, “You have to hurry, get pregnant with the prince’s child earlier.”
If you have a child, even if the prince dies one day, Ati can have a sustenance. Even for the child, she will live well, right?
Tao Ti didn’t follow Xu Wenchan’s thoughts at once, and was still a little confused.
On the contrary, Xu Wenchan hated iron and steel, and slapped his thigh, “Oh, you and the prince have been married for so long…I gave you so many notebooks, isn’t there something like this in it? Learn… By the way, I’m here this time and I brought you some new ones!”
With that said, she ordered the maid to get it.
A thick stack of scripts was packed in a box, and there was nothing to see from the outside. As soon as he brought it in, Xu Wenchan stepped back from the others in the hall, opened it and pulled out a few books from inside——
“These are all new products. I heard they are selling well.”
Tao Ti stretched out his hand to take a copy, flipped through it at random, his eyes widened, “Oh, this, this is very exciting…”
Xu Wenchan sat down and said madly, “Then look more and learn more.”
When it comes to learning, Tao Ti has no guts.
She set aside the script in angrily, picked up the bayberry wine and drank half of it, then put it down again, and turned the topic to the open pastry shop extremely bluntly.
While showing Xu Wenchan her elaborate shop planning book, she introduced and explained.
I don’t know if it’s the entrepreneurial chicken blood hitting too much, or a little bit of red bayberry wine. After speaking, the two little sisters became more and more excited, as if opening this shop, the next step is to chain flowers everywhere. With enough money, he sits on thousands of beautiful men, becomes the richest man in the country, and embarks on the pinnacle of life——
The two of you look at me, I look at you, silly and silly, “We are going to make a fortune!”
“At that time I will buy the entire Zui Xianju, let Mr. Wuchen warm up my bed, Mr. Yu will beat me back, Mr. Liu will feed me grapes!”
“I want to buy a big house! Buy a restaurant! Find a bunch of cooks to make me all kinds of delicious food every day!”
“We can also buy a villa at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and go there to escape the heat in summer, go horse racing, play ball, row a boat, enjoy the scenery, play the piano and sing music…”
“Do you know how to play the piano?”
“I won’t, how about you?”
“Well, I won’t… But it’s okay, we have money, please have a bunch of handsome luthiers stand in a row and play whatever you want…”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……”
The two people in the hall were chatting happily, and outside the door, Pei Yan, who had returned early after finishing his government affairs, had his mouth stretched straight.
Clean, jade, bandit willow? A handsome luthier?
He glanced at the sky, although it was approaching evening, it was still lit.
So, what are they doing daydreaming.
