Prince Be Careful: Concubine is Prickly - Chapter 399
Soon after the spring rain, when spring returns to the earth, the garden is full of colorful flowers, like weaving a colorful brocade. The brocade was spread on the green furry grass. Colorful butterflies are flying among the flowers. The gentle wind blows, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing.
“Miss Kang,” Gu Gu blinked and slowly approached the small garden. Looking at the woman in front of her, she asked, “are you miss Kang who came into the palace newly?”
Linglong’s heart moved. There was a strange flash in the fundus of the eye. I didn’t expect the princess to come so soon. She is indeed a free-minded person. She raised her lips and smiled. She gave her a gift, “greetings to Princess Gu. I’m miss Kang Linglong.”
“Linglong? What a strange name.”
Gu Gu looked at Miss Kang in front of him. She was dressed in a white double knit dark Flower Tulle and a bean green pick-up skirt. Dark and thick hair is tied into a bun with a pink green pearl flower. When you look carefully, it tastes like a small jasper of a woman in the state of Qin.
“There is no such name as Xirong, so the princess feels very strange.”
Gu Gu looked at her strangely. “There are so many people in Xirong. How do you know I’m the ancient princess?”
Delicate lips raised a faint smile. “Princess, apart from you, who can wander around the harem. Who else can dress so noble except you. Besides, which Xirong woman has your green eyes and golden curls.”
Gu’s eyes became deeper and deeper. Her fingers curled her hair, and her eyes flashed cunningly. “You are very clever. You look like a noble lady. But why did you live in the back palace? Should you not be the emperor’s concubine?”
Linglong frowned and smiled, “the princess joked. Everyone in the Qin Dynasty knows that there is only one queen in the harem, that is, our queen. I am the emperor’s cousin. I came to the palace to accompany the queen. How can I be the emperor’s concubine.”
Gu Zhen felt relieved. “It’s boring for me to stay there alone. Seeing a girl about my age here, he ran over to have a look. He thought he was a concubine in the back palace. He came as a guest like me.”
Linglong looked at her for a few eyes and wondered, “princess, how can I smell the smell of food on you? It’s already afternoon. Have you just had dinner?”
Gu Gu sniffed her sleeve. Sure enough, there was still the smell of diced chili chicken. She withdrew her hand with some embarrassment. “I’m learning to cook. The emperor will come to my palace for dinner tomorrow, but I don’t know what to cook, and I can’t cook those dishes of the state of Qin. Now I’ve learned a diced chili chicken after learning for a long time.”
Linglong looked at her annoyed look and couldn’t help laughing, “how could the princess cook in person? You are the grand Princess Xirong. Among the Xirong messengers, there must be people who are good at cooking. The princess can let them serve on her behalf.”
“It’s not my attendant. He boasted to the emperor that I can cook and asked the emperor to have a meal. I want to taste my craft myself, but I really can’t do it. I’m going to be on the table tomorrow. I don’t know what to do.”
Linglong suddenly realized, “it was your envoy who boasted in front of the emperor and asked the emperor to come over. You usually cook the dishes yourself, but you can’t do anything. However, I have a good idea. You can ask those who will do it for you, and then pretend to be you.”
“In fact, I’ve thought of this idea for a long time, but general Kur, the only one who will cook, will also appear at the banquet,” a trace of embarrassment flashed between Gu’s eyebrows and eyes. “There’s no way. I can only serve it myself, but the dish is still done like this.”
Linglong sniffed around her, “I carefully smelled the taste of your diced chili chicken. I think it should be good. The emperor should still like it when you make it on the table.”
“But you can’t just have diced chicken with chili,” Gu Gu suddenly looked at her with a smile in her eyes. “I think you mean you can cook. A lady like you must be better than me. Why don’t you teach me how to cook?”
Linglong was stunned and hesitated: “how can this be? You cook for the emperor.”
“But you are the emperor’s cousin and no one else,” Gu Lala said with an intimate look on her arm. “Just teach me. I really don’t have much time.”
“But I can’t teach you in just one day,” Linglong looked at her and wondered, “does the princess want me to make a table for you to deal with the emperor?”
“You are so smart. I just like talking to smart girls like you,” Princess Gu said with a sly smile. “If I can’t cook a good dish, I will lose face in front of the emperor tomorrow. You must save me.”
“How can I do this? You’re a princess. I’m just a miss of the Kang family.”
“It’s just cooking. What’s the concept of family,” Gu Tao said coquettishly with his pouted mouth. “You’re the emperor’s cousin. I’m the princess from Xirong. I may live with you or play with you in the future. If you don’t help me, I probably won’t stay.”
Linglong looked at her carefully for a long time, and raised an imperceptible arc on her lips, “well, since it’s the princess from Xirong, I’ll help you, but you mustn’t tell others that I made the table, otherwise the emperor will blame me for my ignorance.”
“Of course I won’t tell anyone that you cooked the food. Isn’t this beating your face,” Gu said with a smile. “You helped me. This time, I’ll give you a small gift from Xirong.”
Linglong blinked, “what gift, I’m very strange.”
In the quiet study, Chu Zongge leaned against the Dragon chair and drank a sip of tea carelessly, “I want you to monitor the actions of Xirong envoys. What do you think?”
Xu Hanfei bowed his hands solemnly and said, “I’ve been watching. I haven’t seen any strange news. Princess Gu is very busy for tomorrow’s banquet these days. Chu Changqing practices his sword in the courtyard or goes to see the princess cook. General Kur is teaching the princess how to cook.”
The smile on Chu Zongge’s lips grew stronger, “I thought there was something. It turned out that it was all these. I have no expectations for the cooking skills of Princess Gu. She has never learned any cooking skills since she was a child. She should find someone else to make a table for her to deal with me.”
“Your Majesty, you can’t do that.”
“What’s wrong with that? I don’t have to eat her dishes. It’s too late for her to give up her cooking skills and let others cook for me,” Chu Zongge said with a happy smile. “You don’t have to see what Gu Zhen does. Just stare at Chu Changqing. I’ve seen that you haven’t had much communication since your dust washing banquet that day.”
“Chu Changqing will never come to see his minister. Even if he wants to see him, he may not meet his minister,” Xu Hanfei flashed a trace of cruelty at the bottom of his eyes. “I think I can see him tomorrow.”
“I’m afraid which one of you will escape,” Chu Zongge waved his hand. “Forget it. Just order at the palace where the envoy of Xirong is located tomorrow. I sent the queen to the prince’s residence outside the palace. Now it’s time for us to let go.”
“I heard that there was a good news this morning. The state of Qin won the war and saved a city.”
“This is the first good news of spring,” Chu Zongge raised his eyebrows happily. “Our army is good. Sure enough, the generals I selected are young heroes. I had expected their good news long ago.”
Xu Hanfei said with a smile, “congratulations to the emperor.”
“You are also from the state of Qin. You are both happy and happy,” Chu Zongge thought for a moment and said, “your master Liu Yuan has left the palace and returned to guimeng temple. Did she tell you?”
Xu Hanfei’s eyes were full of brilliance. He said blankly, “when the emperor said it now, the minister remembered that she had not seen the lay for a long time. It turned out that she had left the palace and went to guimeng temple. Why didn’t she tell me.”
Chu Zongge’s eyes slowly darkened, “maybe something happened suddenly, so I didn’t have time to tell you. I’ll tell you by the way. Don’t worry when you find that the lay is missing.”
“The lay is the Queen’s doctor and there will be no danger,” said Xu Hanfei with a faint smile. “I know that the lay is not looking at the prescriptions in the Lingyin hall all day, or asking for the Queen’s pulse in the ward palace. There is nothing else.”
“I’m a very reassuring lay. I believe what she says. It’s more effective than Liu Bingliang,” Chu Zong said with a smile. “Speaking of Liu Bingliang, I haven’t seen him for many days. I heard that his family had twins. I forgot to congratulate him.”
“Not a pair of twins, but his wife gave birth to a boy and his aunt gave birth to a girl,” Xu Hanfei turned his eyes. “Lord Liu won’t mind the emperor’s forgetfulness.”
“Look, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even remember who was born in the prime minister’s family,” Chu Zongge’s eyes became more and more profound. “It’s a wise choice for me to choose you as an attendant. Help me get up the thieves from Xirong in the palace, and I can separate the left prime minister from the right prime minister.”
Xu Hanfei opened his eyes in disbelief. Before digesting his words in his ears, he immediately knelt down. “I don’t want fame and wealth, but I can devote myself to the emperor for the state of Qin.”
“I always want to be clear about rewards and punishments. No one can live on loyalty,” Chu Zongge said, pressing his lips into a line. “I’m waiting for you to work for me on Chu Changqing.”
Xu Hanfei paused and said strangely, “I feel that the emperor seems to be very tolerant of Princess Gu. I just think she is a little girl who doesn’t know the world, but I think the princess is still a little capable.”
“Her greatest skill is her dead mother,” Chu Zongge frowned. “I have said that the relationship between the state of Qin and Xirong has nothing to do with a princess. She didn’t kill our soldiers. She doesn’t have to worry about a little girl.”
Xu Hanfei suddenly raised his eyes, “what does the emperor mean, how to solve Princess Gu? Is she put back to Xirong, or stay in the palace of the state of Qin, or what other way out?”
