Chapter 1111 Is there a possibility...
The third princess had teased all the noble ladies in the morning, and now she saw Shui Ling coming to deliver food, and she was in a better mood.
“Shui Ling, what delicious food did you bring?”
Shui Ling quickly saluted and said, "Princess, wait a moment, our princess is thinking about a new meal today, I will keep it to your satisfaction. I will borrow the stove first, it will only take a quarter of an hour."
After saying that, she followed the little palace maid to the kitchen, and Caiyun also ran to help.
After a while, the rice noodles were cooked, various side dishes were cut, and they were served on the third princess's table.
Shuiling rolled up her sleeves and picked out half of the white rice noodles in the blue and white porcelain bowl. Then she placed a handful of green cucumber shreds, two slices of red tomatoes, two halves of hard-boiled eggs, and a chopstick on top of the rice noodles. Spicy cabbage with a little chopped coriander in the middle.
The colors are so rich that people can’t help but salivate when they see it.
Caiyun stepped forward to help, "Do you need to mix it?"
"No, no, wait a minute." Shui Ling quickly stopped her, and then opened another wooden box.
There was crushed ice underneath the box, and cold water droplets formed on the outer walls of a white porcelain altar.
Shuiling picked up the jar and poured half a bowl of soup along the edge of the blue and white bowl.
Light brown, with some half-melted broken ice, and a faint white mist rising, making everyone subconsciously take a deep breath of cold air.
Shuiling quickly pinched some ripe sesame seeds and sprinkled them on it, then pushed the blue and white bowl in front of the third princess and said with a smile like a treasure.
“Princess, please try the cold noodles specially made by our princess. It’s sour, sweet, and delicious!”
The third princess’s eyes were shining. Just when she picked up her chopsticks to look at them, the door became lively.
Everyone was a little unhappy at being interrupted and turned to look.
It was actually the prince who brought Eunuch Feng in. He glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Did Third Sister just eat?"
The third princess quickly stood up, asked him to sit at the table, and said, "Why is the prince brother here? Aren't you supposed to have dinner with your father?"
The prince smiled and motioned to Eunuch Feng to hand over a beautifully carved box and opened it, revealing a set of ruby jewelry inside.
“I have troubled my sister to choose my concubine today. This is a set of jewelry that I had someone make before. I thought you might like it, so I gave it to you as a thank you gift.”
The third princess coughed dryly, feeling a little guilty.
It took her half a day to choose a concubine, but she didn’t put any effort into it. Instead, she played a trick on her future wife...
She put the box aside and wanted to explain a few words, when she saw the prince looking at the cold noodle bowl on the table, as if he was curious.
She then said, "Brother Prince, do you want to stay and try this cold noodles? It's a snack specially thought of by Jiayin to relieve the summer heat. I haven't eaten it yet, so I don't know how it tastes."
"Okay." The prince agreed immediately and said with a smile, "The princess is very talented in doing beautiful things, just look at the business of cyclamen and hot pot restaurant.
"After I entered the palace, I didn't have the chance to taste it. Today, thanks to my sister, I can satisfy my craving again."
The third princess was happy to hear this and excitedly urged Shuiling to make another bowl.
Jiayin is always generous, and you will have a lot of money when giving gifts.
In the past, in Zhilan Palace, more baked snacks or new food would be prepared so that the young eunuchs and maids could also eat freshly.
This time, although the cold noodles are not served to the whole palace, there are enough for three or four people.
At least after the third princess finished eating, Caiyun and the other maids who could use it could also have a taste.
I don’t want to, but it would be an advantage for the prince.
The brother and sister had no scruples. They held the blue and white bowls and took a sip of the soup first.
Cool, sweet and sour, with a hint of sesame aroma, it slowly slides down the mouth, tip of the tongue, and down the throat.
At this moment, the summer heat, irritability, and depression in my heart seemed to have suddenly disappeared. The two brothers and sisters looked at each other subconsciously, their eyes full of surprise.
Pick up another chopstick of rice noodles and put it into your mouth. It's smooth and chewy!
“The good news is great, these cold noodles are perfect for summer!” The third princess praised excitedly while eating.
The prince also nodded without saying a word.
Shuiling was so proud that she couldn't help but show off, "Our princess said that there is no special noodle, we can only use rice noodles, which is not very strong. Otherwise, it will taste better!"
The third princess ate half the bowl in one go, asked Shuiling to add some soup, and said, "Go back and help me tell your princess that I will eat this again tomorrow!"
After saying that, she saw the prince looking over and understood instantly. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "There is also the prince's brother, who also wants a share."
The prince smiled and immediately responded, "I heard that the princess likes to collect pens, inks, paper and inkstones. I just happened to get a good set yesterday. I will take it back soon as a thank you gift."
When Eunuch Feng heard this, he quickly turned around and ran back to Xilong Pavilion to get something.
So when Shui Ling left the palace, all the dishes were empty, but there was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and a carved box.
That's right, the prince gave the third princess the set of jewelry, and the third princess also borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha as a thank you gift.
Shui Ling got on the carriage and quietly looked at the ruby jewelry in the box and the four treasures of the study. She always felt a little strange.
Although the funeral was not announced secretly, the third princess was observing her filial piety. How could the prince give her red jewelry?
Fortunately, the third princess gave it to her princess, otherwise it would be rude...
In the carved box, the ruby red gold Bu Yao, the hairpin, and the bracelets lay quietly together, and they couldn't help but complain.
Is it possible that we were not originally given to the third princess...
In the study room of the Liu family, Liu Zhiheng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand quickly.
He endured his irritation and complained to his father in a low voice.
"Dad, why do I feel like something is wrong! These days are simply too difficult. When will the Marquis be able to drive the barbarians out of the border and return to the court as soon as possible? I'm afraid that if we delay it any longer, everything in Xindu will be settled. , that one should..."
Mrs. Liu glared at his son and slowly shook the ink-colored landscape folding fan in his hand.
“Man’s planning is up to man and Heaven is up to him. Just do your part well. As for the result, no one can predict it.
“If the situation is really not good for us, we can only face the difficulties and sighing is of no use.”
Liu Zhiheng also knows this truth, but he just keeps it in his heart.
At this time, the housekeeper brought a boy in and said with a smile, "Old Master, Master, the Princess of Ruijintan has sent someone to deliver a food box."
The young man from the Li family also stepped forward to salute and said with a smile, "How are you, Mrs. Liu? How are you, Mr. Liu? Our princess said that the weather is too hot, so she specially made cold noodles to relieve the heat today, and asked me to send some over."
Liu Zhiheng was pleasantly surprised. He immediately jumped up and took the food box himself. After opening it and looking at it, he said, "It seems like a lot. Let's invite my wife to come and eat with us."
Immediately a bookboy ran to the backyard.
The little boy of the Li family has also eaten it at home, and even learned how to add side dishes.
So, when Mrs. Liu came from the backyard, three bowls of cold noodles were already ready.
Mrs. Liu moved his chopsticks, and Liu Zhiheng quickly picked up the big bowl and gave a thumbs up happily.
Mrs. Liu glared at him angrily, but she didn’t stop holding the chopsticks in her hand!
After taking a few bites, Mrs. Liu felt very happy and could not help but dislike his son.
"You are like an ant on a hot pot all day long. Look at the princess, you are so calm and calm. You are really worse than one ten thousandth."
