Spoiled Wife - C89 play
Entering the Plum Garden, one would be able to smell a sweet fragrance, it was very tempting, this year there were a lot of plum bunches, the branches were all bent, seeing that they were amazed at the amount, the Wu Bo introduced: “You’ve even knocked quite a few of them off.”
“Why did you hit him?” “What do you mean by that?” Lingtong asked puzzled. Shouldn’t the more the better? We still need to hit them? The others were also looking curiously at the Wu Bo.
The Wu Bo laughed and said, “If there are too many fruits this year, the trees will be tired. Then, next year, I won’t be willing to die.” What he said made more sense.
Forge and the others nodded, and suddenly said: “So it’s like that? The tree will be tired? ” He was very surprised.
Shen Qi laughed, looking at those that were red and those that were green, she turned to ask the Wu Bo, “These are two different species?”
“In reply to Princess, there are two different species. The red one will only be sweet when it is fully ripened, otherwise it will be astringent and can’t be eaten. But the green one will be fine. It will take a long time before it tastes sour and sweet.”
“Then let’s pick some of both.” Shen Qi knew this, but both of them were not bad, but he still turned her head and instructed: “This time, we cannot pick more, it is not good to eat more plums.”
Lingtong stuck out her tongue, and with a mischievous look on her face, she said, “This servant will remember.”
Shen Qi laughed, and turned to ask King Duan, “Which one does the King like?”
“I’m fine with it, but I’m fine with your decision, Princess Consort.” To King Xian, these were all used to coax his children and women. He didn’t usually eat much of them.
“Are there any vines here?” Along the way, she had seen quite a few apricots and pear trees, so she asked curiously.
“Yes, the vine is behind the Mountain Mist Institution.” “Princess wants to eat grapes?”
Shen Qi shook her head, “No, it’s just that I found a lot of fruit trees here. I wanted to ask if there are still grapes.”
“Wu Bo likes to take care of these, so everything here is planted by him. Basically, some of the plants could be planted.”
“Isn’t that hard?” Shen Qi knew that these fruit trees did not need to be planted by you, there were many things to be paid attention to, such as pruning the branches, removing insects, and preventing diseases, it was very troublesome, if you did not take care of them, you would not grow well.
“When I’m busy, I always ask for help.” But the Princess knows how hard it is to grow fruit trees? Previously, he didn’t even know this. He thought it would be enough as long as he could plant the seed and wait for the result, but after witnessing it once later, he realized that a woman like Princess Hua-Yang really knew a lot.
He had discovered that he, the princess, was really different from an ordinary woman. You said that she could only walk through doors and doors, but the things she knew were actually all-encompassing. She knew that sand watermelons were sweeter than ordinary watermelons, and not only did she know this fact, she also knew the principle. She knew that trees had to be fixed, and there were also many things they had to take care of.
And the new dishes that often appeared in the mansion, and the dried meat sauce, which book was devoted to these? King Xian believed that he had read quite a lot. Even if he hadn’t broken tens of thousands of scrolls, there would at least be thousands of scrolls. However, he had never seen a book that specifically introduced such things.
The Princess was a mystery. She could give you a different surprise every time, like a treasure chest, but if she didn’t want to tell him, he wouldn’t ask. Who didn’t have a secret? As long as the wangfei was by his side, he would be fine.
Shen Qi didn’t know that King Duan had already thought about it so much, but she had indeed not hidden it from him. She originally wanted to live with him, she didn’t want to make him feel too tired, so she wouldn’t purposely reveal it, but she wouldn’t hide it no matter what, because it was impossible.
After strolling around for a bit, it was time for lunch. After going back and washing up, they would have a table full of fresh vegetables.
This place was not as hot as the inside of the capital, and the places near the mountain would always be slightly colder, so here, you would not feel stuffy, but instead feel cool and comfortable. Even Shen Qi did not want to go back, how great would it be here, a summer resort!
Shen Qi had the habit of taking an afternoon nap, so after the meal, she would always need to sleep for a quarter of an hour. Coincidentally, this was the hottest time, so she couldn’t do anything.
Normally, he did not have the time to take a nap, nor did he have the habit of doing so. Even if he was accompanying Princess Hua-Yang, he would only be reading on the side or taking care of some simple matters.
When Shen Qi woke up, Duanren Emperor wasn’t even awake yet, so she lay on the ground for a while. But because Duke Xiang’s vigilance was too strong, even her breathing pattern couldn’t escape his senses, so when Shen Qi woke up a little bit later, Duanren Emperor had already woken up.
Unexpectedly, he did not look like he had just woken up. He did not forget to ask Shen Qi, “You’re not going to sleep? It’s still hot outside. ” It meant that he wouldn’t be able to do anything even if he wanted to.
Shen Qi shook her head, “I’m not going to sleep anymore, it will give me a headache if I continue sleeping. It’s easy for me to not be able to sleep at night.” An afternoon nap of fifteen minutes to half an hour is best, and the longer the worse it will be.
After calling for people to come in and clean up, Zi Zhu brought in watermelons for them to quench their thirst. Zi Li was also holding a plate with peaches and plums on it, as well as a bunch of grapes.
“The Wu Bo cut a bunch of cooked meat, and let my Royal Concubine have a taste.” Zi Li said with a smile.
Shen Qi smiled and said: “Wu Bo is kind.” She just casually said a few words and sent it over.
Sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by trees, blocking out the sunlight and eating fruits and watermelons, it was simply a pleasure in the summer. Shen Qi truly felt that this place was better than staying at home.
“Larger.” Prince Xian spoke concisely. It was true that the place needed to be larger, because not only was it the emperor, but the imperial concubines, empress dowager, and other officials of the imperial harem had to follow along as well.
Shen Qi was rather curious about this. In her previous life, she had always been a northerner, so she had never experienced this before and really wanted to give it a try.
Seeing that the wangfei was about to go up personally, the maidservants were all prepared for her, even King Duanren had to get on the boat. Such a small boat like this wasn’t very big, so if Prince Duanren could get on the boat, then the rest of the people would have to find a boat to go on board.
reached his hand into the water and gently swam. The water was cool and refreshing. A large swath of lotus flowers swayed with the wind, shuttling back and forth like it was a human painting. Shen Qi could not help but become infatuated, it was truly beautiful!
The boatman skillfully shuttled between the lotus heads, stopping once he reached a densely packed place, while Shen Qi picked the lotus seeds that were full to the brim. The lotus seeds’ poles were very brittle, and didn’t use much force to pick them.
After harvesting the first seed, Shen Qi impatiently peeled it open. The white lotus seed was very cute, after putting it into his mouth, she chewed it until it was full of saliva. A sweet and refreshing taste filled his mouth, and Shen Qi squinted her eyes as though she was enjoying it.
King Xian looked at her eating the lotus seeds as if they were delicious in the world. It was somewhat funny. “So delicious?” The voice was full of laughter.
Shen Qi nodded her head, and laughed: “It’s delicious, especially when you pick it yourself.” After saying that, someone used a clean kernels pad to give it to King Xian. “Your Royal Highness, you should try it too.” Her face was filled with joy, as if she was a child that wanted to share something she liked with others.
had been staring at him the entire time, causing him to feel somewhat uncomfortable. With a light cough, he commented, “Not bad.”
Shen Qi was immediately overjoyed, “Really? I was already thinking it was delicious.”
At this moment, she was acting like a little girl who hadn’t grown up. Even the smile in King Duanren’s eyes couldn’t stop her. The wangfei had already completely let go of her hold on him, how could she not be happy?
After Shen Qi finished harvesting the lotus leaves, the guards there had actually fished out a few fish and brought them up. As a result, after landing, they gave all these things to the kitchen. After that, dinner brought all of these into play. The sweet water lotus seeds were iced up for a while to cool the heat, a few fish were steamed, one was roasted red and one was stewed with tofu. The rest were some fresh vegetables.
It wasn’t that she was unrestrained, but that she had added a bowl of longevity noodles when she was almost full and had even finished the noodles and soup.
“It’s still the same as before, eating it all in one go.” Every year, when Shen Qi was born, he would personally make a bowl of longevity noodles for her. Her cooking skills were excellent, and she was able to make a bowl of noodles.
However, before this, they had deliberately kept their stomachs open to wait for noodles. If they were to be too happy this year, they would have forgotten. If they were to be full by now, it would not be a pleasure but a torture.
However, Wang Ma and the others were all looking at her with earnest gazes, making Shen Qi feel embarrassed to not eat it. In the end, she gritted her teeth and finished the bowl of noodles.
After she finished eating, Shen Qi didn’t even want to move. It was King Duanren who was afraid that she would need to accumulate food and gave her a few hawthorn pills to eat. In the end, he pulled her out for a walk to eat.
Shen Qi felt extremely humiliated, she was actually full! King Xian looked at her with a smile on her face. It was rare to see such a lively side.
“Nanny must have done it on purpose. It looks like I’m almost full before I serve the noodles.” She could not help but complain, as she had calculated that she would not let them down.
Seeing her in such pain, the Wang Ma felt his heart ache. He hurriedly went over and rubbed her stomach, “Is it very uncomfortable? It’s all the old servant’s fault for bringing it up too late. ” In the past, the birthday consort would always return to Xiang Zhu Yuan every year with a stomach full of food for noodles. Wang Ma thought it would be just like before, who would have thought that he would actually forget about it this time?
Seeing her frowning, looking as if she wished that she could take it for her mother, Shen Qi could not bear it anymore, “Nanny, it’s alright, I’ll just walk a few laps around.” Afraid that the milkmaid would blame herself again, she quickly pulled King Duanren out.
The Mother Song smiled happily from behind. Princess Qian Qian was a kind and soft-hearted child, she treated the servants around her like her family and not like servants. Being able to follow such a master was also a blessing for a servant.
The prince’s life before had been too arduous. With such a shrewd and warm-hearted wangfei by his side taking care of his daily life, he would be better off in the future. At last, he could peacefully stay here to recuperate.
Shen Qi was also curious as to what kind of illness the Mother Song was suffering from. Previously, she thought that since she wasn’t that familiar with Duke Xiang, he didn’t ask her about it, but at a time like this, she felt that she could understand a bit about it.
Thus, after walking for a distance, he asked softly, “My prince, what kind of illness is Mother Song?”
He did not expect that such a sentence would cause the King to pause for a moment, and then his entire body started to release cold air, his change naturally could not hide from Shen Qi who had been paying attention to him this whole time, and the moment he changed, Shen Qi had already felt it, and looked at him in puzzlement, what was going on? Did she ask some incredible question?
However, King Xian quickly calmed himself down. When he saw that the princess was looking at him with a questioning look, he felt better. The prince didn’t wait for him to speak and replied, “My lord, if this question makes things difficult for you, just pretend I didn’t ask you anything.”
King Xian shook his head and restrained his emotions. “There’s nothing that I can’t say. I’m just thinking of some unpleasant things.”
