Back to the ancient favorite

Chapter 21

At dawn on the second day, the lord led the army to go to war. Xiliu slept until noon and did not get up. Lizi squatted by the bed worriedly and poked his half waist that was exposed under the quilt. He touched his hand, but felt that the sense of touch was a bit wrong, he straightened up abruptly and was about to scold Man Shengan first, but found that the one squatting on the ground was Lizi.

"What are you doing!" Xiliu pulled the quilt over her waist and stared at Lizi.

Lizi smiled, picked up the clothes that had been put aside early and said, "My lord has gone out for an expedition, and he told me not to wake you up, but it's already noon, and I'm afraid you'll be starving if you don't get up again."

"How many days has the prince been away?" Xiliu asked while wearing clothes, Lizi shook her head and said: "Where do you know how many days you will be back when you go out... I just hope that the prince will return safely."

Xiliu agreed with Lizi's idea. After all, there are no words more important than safety and health in this world. He stretched his body, asked Lizi to prepare something for himself, and then walked to the bronze mirror and opened the next one. From the small drawer, he took out a beautiful little red box, and suddenly laughed wretchedly.

On the first night that Prince Man left, Xiliu put Lizi to sleep and then quietly opened the window out of the bedroom, sneaked to the kitchen to get a veiled hat, and slipped out of Prince Man's mansion through the side door.

Xiliu trotted all the way, pressing his chest, and couldn't help laughing when he ran to the street full of lights. This was his second visit to Baihuayuan, and this time he came prepared.

He strode into the Hundred Flowers Courtyard with big strides, raised his hand and scattered silver fragments all over the ground, when he saw the big family coming in, four or five girls surrounded him and pulled him to call the young master.

The old bustard happily twisted her waist and looked up and down beside Xiliu. Xiliu smiled through the veiled hat, stretched out her hand and said, "Go to the room, good girl."

"Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai Ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai

After reaching the top, Xiliu took out the small red box from her arms, and found a plate to put the last Xisaiqixiang: Hun Shou She.Lit on a plate.

A strange fragrance lingered in the whole room for a moment, Xiliu took off his clothes in a hurry and waited for the happy punishment, he hugged the girls and kissed every part of their body, after a while, the fragrance of Soul Shoushe filled the air. Throughout the room, the girls were restlessly stroking Xiliu. Xiliu closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a long time, but she still found... "What's going on...why is it still..."

He looked at his useless body, slapped himself severely and cursed: "What happened that day! Did you hit your head! Why are there so many beautiful sisters! You! You are so useless!" It's time to leave!"

Xiliu stood up and put on her clothes, pinched Hunshoushe fiercely, put the rest in a box, opened the door, scattered silver pieces all over the floor and cursed: "Garbage! I'll give you a free Spring Festival dinner! Shit!" After saying that, she walked out of Baihuayuan without any hats on.

"Isn't that child mine..." Xiliu tightened her clothes and wiped the marks left on her face with her hands. While walking while thinking, she bumped into someone's arms again, Xiliu was annoyed He raised his head and scolded: "Who the hell am I! I don't have eyes when I walk!"

Under the background of the lights, Xiliu saw the person he bumped into when he came out of Baihuayuan last time. He sighed angrily and then pointed to the person's nose and asked, "Why are you again, what are you doing?" Why do you stand here blocking me every time I come out of this building, are you greedy for my beauty and like me?"

The man suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand to take Xiliu's hand and said: "The most beautiful man in the imperial city, just by this title, who doesn't like you in this imperial city."

Xiliu tried to withdraw her hand, but found that there was no way to move it: "What! Let me go."

"Xiliu, you really don't know me." The more force the man exerted on his hands, the more anxious his eyes became. Xiliu frowned and took a step back, carefully sizing up the faces in front of him, some familiar, some strange, but Forgot to remember, he could only bite his lower lip and cursed: "You are sick! I know you bastard! I am the wife of the current Prince Manchurian, don't pretend to be blind, you can You can climb it!" After speaking, he stretched out his other hand to hit him.

The other party dodged and let go of his hand, Xiliu touched his wrist and looked at him with a bad temper and said, "Get out! Don't be an eyesore in front of me." After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve and left, but accidentally put The little red box fell to the ground.

The man picked up the box and was about to open it to have a look, when he heard a panting man running behind and shouting in a low voice: "Your Majesty! Oh Your Majesty! You are going to scare the old minister to death! You will disappear after turning the corner. "

The emperor stood up and held the box in the palm of his hand, looked back at his father-in-law and said: "Tomorrow, go to the palace."

"As ordered."

Xiliu sneaked back from the side door, and went through the window to enter the room. She wanted to put the box back in the small drawer, only to find that the small box was gone: "Damn, I left it there..." Maybe it was because the flipping was too loud , Lizi rubbed her eyes and entered the room and asked: "Master...how... ah! What's wrong with your face, Master!" Lizi saw Xiliu's face was red and purple and hurried up to wipe his face, but found Just wipe it off, Xiliu was about to say something with an unhappy face, Lizi turned around and went to the door, dipped the silk scarf in water and wiped Xiliu's face vigorously.

"It hurts, it hurts! Skin! The skin is going to be rubbed off!" Xiliu stopped Lizi's hand, and asked angrily, "What are you doing! Rubbing your uncle's face so hard!"

"Young master, you are obviously the prince's wife, why, how can you..." Lizi was about to cry, pointing to the mark on his neck and shaking her hand, like a son who wanted to keep up with his anger. Dad from anywhere.

"Oh, I misunderstood my misunderstanding." Xiliu took the pitifully torn silk scarf in his hand and wiped her neck, "Even though my heart is as turbulent as the sea, my body... only belongs to the prince." " Xiliu let out a long sigh, seeing that Lizi was still pouting, she pinched his face and said, "Boil the water! I want to take a bath!"

The next day, Xiliu was walking down the street, twirling the dip pen in her hand, saying hello to her neighbors. Lizi followed him with a basket and looked at some incomprehensible things he wrote before leaving the house, what ice cream, what gelatin of.

Xiliu walked into the butcher shop and said to the butcher with a smile, "Boss, please bring me a catty of pigskin."

"Hey! Master Xiliu, what do you want to do with these pigskins?" The boss took out some pigskins and put them on the table and looked at Xiliu.

Xiliu smiled and said, "Make jelly."

"Jelly?" Anyway, the butcher couldn't understand what he meant, so he cut a large piece of pig skin for him. Xiliu nodded and said, "Please help me clean the hair on it, I'll wait I'll come and get it." After speaking, she asked Lizi to pay, and walked out the door.

The boss was naturally willing to help Xiliu do such a complicated thing. Xiliu was in a good mood and took out the paper in the basket and crossed out the gelatine.

In front of the fruit stand, Xiliu was picking fresh fruits and vegetables, and a person next to her suddenly coughed, so Xiliu didn't bother to look up to see who was doing that, and was still picking up apples, oranges and other things.

Xiliu chose some seasonal fruits, clapped her hands and greeted Lizi to pay, but found that Lizi looked at the person next to him motionless, Xiliu slapped him on the arm angrily and said, "What are you looking at? I look good." After he finished speaking, he stood up and saw the person standing beside him, and he panicked, 'Damn it, isn't this the bad boy from last night?The ones in broad daylight also came to tease me? '

Although thinking so in his head, he couldn't lose his temper in broad daylight, Xiliu smiled and asked: "My lord, you have been following me since yesterday, what's the matter?"

"Of course." The other party also smiled back, Xiliu saw the whole face of this person clearly, there was an indescribable sense of familiarity, and it was somewhat similar to Prince Man, Xiliu re-sized him, his figure Not as outstanding as Prince Man, and his face is not as sharp as Prince Man, but there is an extra layer of imperial arrogance all over his body.

"Tell me if you have something to do, I have other things to do." Xiliu withdrew her smile, stared at him and said, Lizi paid the money and pulled up Xiliu's sleeve, and whispered in his ear: "Master... He is the current emperor."

"Ah?" Xiliu was stunned for a moment, and the finished subtitles were spinning quickly in her head. Seeing the person in front of her take a step towards her, she asked again seriously: "Xiliu, you really forgot... gone?"

Xiliu stepped back and leaned against Lizi, thought of several ways to answer, and finally decided to be a dead horse doctor, but she was unwilling to admit it and said: "If you forget, you forget. There is no truth or falsehood." Yes, Lizi is going." After speaking, she hurriedly grabbed Lizi's hand and started running.

After running to the butcher shop, Xiliu hurriedly took away the unplucked pigskin, and quickly returned to Manwang Mansion.

As soon as she entered the mansion, Xiliu yelled loudly: "The front door! The side door! I've closed them all! I don't see any visitors today! Flies are not allowed in!" Just after finishing speaking, the servants hurriedly put down their work and began to close the door. The moment the door was about to be closed, Steward Zhou stopped his hand suddenly. He glanced outside, retracted his head, and stood motionless at the door.

"Butler Zhou, what are you doing! You don't listen to what I say!" Xiliu was about to close the door by herself, but saw the emperor leading a group of people to the door.

"My emperor, Wanfu Jin'an..." Butler Zhou knelt on the ground and said, Xiliu was dumbfounded. No one else in the yard knew that this was the emperor, but Butler Zhou recognized this person directly. people.

Xiliu sneered and pointed at Butler Zhou, and behind her, the voices of the servants all said in unison: "My emperor is blessed and safe."

"Fuck." Xiliu said a word softly, raised her eyes to look at the emperor, and then knelt down.

"Xiliu, usually when Prince Man goes out to fight outside the Great Wall, you will follow me back to the Imperial City Palace. Why did you forget all this time?" Chin, want to kiss down.

Xiliu suddenly slapped him angrily, but was stopped halfway. He looked up and saw a man covered in black, pinching his wrist.

"Heh." Xiliu smiled amusedly, turned her head away from the emperor who pinched her cheek, took a step back and said, "I'm sorry, I fell into the river and knocked my head, I can't remember anything, let alone the relationship with you." Promise." Xiliu was actually angry, he turned around and wanted to leave, the emperor asked from behind: "Xiliu, I have heard about your matter, but I did not expect it to be so serious, you and I will return to the palace, and I will definitely meet you." I love you more."

Xiliu stopped in her tracks, turned her head and said with an inexplicable expression on her face, "Calling you the emperor is a respect for you. I am Prince Man's wife. I don't need you to love me. I have someone who loves me."

Li Zi pulled the hem of La Xiliu's clothes and raised her head and said, "Young master, every time the prince is away on an expedition, you will definitely go to the palace to meet the emperor..." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head.

Xiliu looked around, and then turned back to look at the emperor, he was really angry, he thought for a while and said reluctantly: "I won't go, I was Prince Man's wife before, and I am now, and I will be in the future! Please go back, even if you use eight sedan chairs to carry me! I will not go!" After saying that, Xiliu actually picked up the basket and left the main courtyard.

"He really... has become different." The emperor smiled and waved away.

Xiliu was so angry that she was dying in the kitchen, holding the pliers for plucking pig hair and plucking the hair, saying: "Go to death, idiot, go to death!"

Lizi went to the kitchen and saw Xiliu sitting in front of the chair so furious, she stood beside him helplessly and said, "Master...don't be angry."

Xiliu raised her head and pointed at Lizi with the pliers, "Let me ask you, do I have some secrets with that emperor! I saw the way he looked at me, as if he wanted to pick me up."

With embarrassment on his face, Lizi picked up the gauze, splashed some water on the pigskin, and then said submissively, "Master... there is a story about you... Do you want to..."

"Say it! I hate whether I want it, okay, okay?" Xiliu threw away the pliers angrily, but bent down to pick it up, wiped it, and continued to pluck the hair.

"Originally... Prince Man was the current prince, but he insisted on abandoning the position of prince to save your life and mine, and gave it to the current emperor, but... at the beginning... it was the young master who the current emperor fell in love with first, you, prince. It's...the latecomer." Lizi pouted in embarrassment.

Xiliu stopped what she was doing, raised her eyebrows, and sighed angrily: "Why am I so shameless, why am I having an affair with everyone?"

Lizi shook her head and said, "No, you and the emperor are the real sweethearts. The lord was older than you by a few years, but the first time the lord saw the young master, he fell in love with the young master, and swore he would not marry him, but... ...But the late emperor said that Master Xuan had rebelled... All blood relatives were given to death, and all the servants and servants were sold away. But at that time, the prince knelt down and begged the late emperor to leave you. I want you to..."

"He chose me in the end..." Xiliu stood up the plucked pigskin and began to scrape off the grease.

"En..." Lizi watched his movements, and helped to soak the gauze in water to wipe off the scraped grease.

"Since this is the case, the emperor will not let it go. He will come tomorrow." Xiliu said, but the movements in his hands did not mean to stop. It's hard to live; if I go, I'm nothing." Xiliu complained to herself.

Lizi wiped the grease and said, "Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds..." Lizi pouted a little bit reluctantly.

Xiliu shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it." After finishing speaking, he rinsed the scraped pigskin with clean water and threw it into the pot. After cooking, he went to cut the fruits he bought into shapes of animals and flowers .

After the pigskin is boiled until it becomes transparent and discolored, scrape the front and back sides once, then wash and shred it and marinate it in rice vinegar, then boil the pigskin until it is rotten, take out the remaining shredded pigskin, pour it into a small bowl and cool it for later use.

Mash the fruit into a puree, mix the royal jelly into the pork skin jelly and mix well, then add the fruit puree, put it in a cup and cover it, and freeze it in ice cubes.

Xiliu wiped her hands after finishing, and said to Lizi, "If I'm not here tomorrow, you can take this out for everyone to eat." Lizi nodded and asked, "What did you cook this time?"

"Fruit jelly." Xiliu forced a smile, and left the kitchen a little disappointed.
