Chapter 53：

Tao Ti didn't wake up until noon, and when she got up to ask, she knew that Pei Yan had ordered before leaving to burn some calming incense to make her sleep more peacefully.

As for Pei Yan, as usual, he had already gone out with the officials of the East Palace.

After a brief lunch, Tao Ti asked the girl Xia Sang who had been brought into the mansion yesterday, "Linglong, where is she now?"

Linglong replied, "I live in the wing of the back hall, the princess wants to see her?"

Tao Ti thought for a while and nodded, "Well, you can bring people."

Linglong nodded and turned to go out.

Not long after, Xia Sang walked in behind Linglong.

She changed into clean and plain clothes, and the redness and swelling on her face disappeared by half, revealing her original beautiful and pretty face.

As soon as she saw Tao Ti, Xia Sang knelt on the ground and gave an extremely solemn gift, "The daughter of the people kowtows to the princess concubine for her great kindness. , Minnv can still live, Minnv is willing to serve as a slave, a servant, a cow and a horse, and repay the princess for your kindness."

Tao Ti was taken aback for a moment. After reacting, he hurriedly asked Linglong to help her up and moved her a stool.

"It's just a small effort, and I didn't help." Tao Ti's eyes were curved, and she said to her warmly, "I called you over today, just want to see how you are now..."

Xia Sang said, "Thank you, the princess, for your concern, the girl... It's okay."

Tao Ti looked at her red and swollen eyes, as well as the black green under her eyes, and knew that she would definitely not sleep well last night.

As a bystander, he must rely on Sleeping Fragrance to get a good night's sleep, let alone Xia Sang, a little girl who has lost a close relative.

Tao Ti sighed for a while, raised her head again, and looked at Xia Sang's gaze becoming more gentle, "I really admire your courage and strategy, you can find a way to get to the world...Are you not afraid of revealing stuff? Flaws, you may have to get in with your own life."

Xia Sang said, "After the death of my sister, Mindv has nothing to worry about in this world. As long as I can avenge my sister, even if there is only a glimmer of hope for revenge, Mindv will dare to do it."

Speaking of this, her eyes were a little grateful, “Minnv is stupid. At first, I didn't want to seduce the beast in the past, but a kind-hearted person told me to do so. If it wasn't for the kind-hearted person to point me step by step, Minnv It should still be a headless fly, confused and bumped."

When Tao Ti heard this, he became interested, "A good-hearted person?"

Xia Sang said, "It's a grandmother who works in the Mu Palace. My sister was in an accident and the body was thrown into the well. She told me... Also, the reason why I was able to get into Yancui Tower was because of her relationship. A distant relative of her happened to be the steward in the Yancui Building. If the grievance is avenged, I will thank the grandma in person. She and the prince are both my great benefactors."

Tao Ti thought it was really strange, but he didn't expect that there would be such a passionate old woman in Prince Mu's Mansion. Listening to Xia Sang's description, it is a bit like a sweeping monk in martial arts novels.

But she didn't think too much, just sighed, "There are still many good people in this world."

After a brief chat with Xia Sang, Tao Ti asked her to go and rest first.

Hearing that Prince Mu was already squatting in the prison, and that Prince Mu's mansion was very peaceful at the moment, Tao Ti was relieved, but also vaguely uneasy.

She clutched her thumping chest, twisting her two beautiful brows slightly.

Linglong stepped up worriedly and asked, "Prince Princess, where are you uncomfortable?"

Tao Ti pressed her heart, recovered, showing a faint smile, and whispered, "I'm fine."

Just... She came to this ancient world, always feeling that she was getting less and less courageous?

Alas, human life and body are too fragile. If her body has a life span of almost immortality, strong divine power... ahem, although her divine power is not particularly strong, it is more than enough to deal with small humans—

Tao Ti: Weak jpg.

Linglong saw her prince shook her head and sighed again, only when she was still resentful for the evil deeds of the Mu Palace. After thinking about it, she suggested, "Prince princess, don't you often say that eating desserts can make you feel better? Does the servant ask the dining room to make some desserts for you?"

Speaking of eating, Tao Ti put his cheeks in his small hands and thought for a while, what should he eat at night?

As May approached, the weather was getting hotter and hotter every day, coupled with the troubles of Prince Mu’s mansion... it really made her unable to get much appetite.

Just when she was about to let the dining room do it casually, Pei Yan's long and straight figure suddenly appeared in her mind.

She felt that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight recently.

He finished bathing last night, wearing a snow-white bedclothes, his skin was cold and white, and the whole person was tall and thin, and he felt like he was about to fly into a feather in the next second.

Also, with his sickly body, he insists on observing the people's sentiments, patrolling dams, and inspecting work every day. He leaves early and returns late, which is nothing short of a model worker.

She can eat whatever she wants, but she can't let Pei Yan follow her casually—

There is a saying, no matter how poor you are, you can’t be poorly educated, no matter how hard you are, you can’t suffer the children...Ah, oh, what are you trying to substitute in chaos!

Tao Ti raised his hand and patted his forehead, then stood up, "Go, go to the dining room, and make some refreshing appetizers."

Linglong paused, seeing the princess regaining her usual vigorous appearance, and a smile appeared on her face, "Yes!"

…

Not long after, in the palace dining room.

Tao Ti scooped a large spoonful of flour and started to get busy.

Linglong curiously asked, "Prince Princess, are you cooking noodles?"

Tao Ti shook her head and smiled, "Make Liangpi."

Mix a large bowl of flour with water, knead it into a harder dough, knead it patiently until it is smooth, and then put the dough aside to wake up a fragrant, you can start to make the most important part of the cold skin-washing the noodles!

Tao Ti held the dough with two fair hands, kneading it repeatedly in a basin of clear water.

This process is actually quite decompressive, like kneading a small toy for venting. With a little kneading, the dough becomes smaller visible to the naked eye, and the original clear water gradually becomes muddy, turning into a beautiful milky white. After the starch in the dough has been washed out, a small sticky and somewhat elastic piece is left, which is gluten.

Tao Ti covered the water and gluten, and ordered the royal cook to boil a pot of sour radish duck soup on the stove. After cleaning his hands, he turned to Linglong and said, "Let's go back and take a nap and wait until you wake up. "

If you want to taste good food, you need to wait patiently.

After waking up after a nap, it was still dark, Tao Ti lay lazily on the couch and read the notebook for a while.

It wasn't until the sky was overwhelming and the setting sun went down, she guessed that Pei Yan should be back, and then got up from the couch.

Walking outside the hall, watching the gentle afterglow that filled the courtyard, Tao Ti suddenly thought of—

How can you look like a wife who has prepared dinner and is waiting for her husband to come back from get off work?

As soon as this thought came up, his face was red and hot again.

She is holding on to the crazily restless deer in her heart, so be a little more sober! He treats you as a trusted friend, you want to sleep with him?

And he is a patient with a short life, you can't be such a beast!

Seeing the princess covering her chest again, Linglong's heart became more and more worried: Is she going to find a royal doctor tomorrow to ask the princess for a peace pulse?

…

The night is heavy.

When Pei Yan arrived at the Jixian Hall, Tao Ti was sitting at the dining table with his small head in his hands.

Pei Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he glanced at Linglong calmly, seeming to ask: What's the matter with the princess?

Linglong looked embarrassed: The slave and maidservant were not quite sure either.

Pei Yan retracted his gaze and walked over slowly.

"Ati." He called softly.

Tao Ti was thinking about "how to tactfully propose to sleep separately". When he heard the call, she was dumbfounded, "Ah."

Pei Yan Shi Shiran stood still in front of her, leaned down slightly, a handsome and delicate face caught off guard, and appeared in front of Tao Ti at close range.

Tao Ti, "...!"

She took a breath, and leaned backwards subconsciously.

Pei Yan's eyes flashed, as if she was afraid that she would fall down without paying attention, he stretched out his hand to hook her slender waist, suddenly like that.

In the next moment, Tao Ti directly hit his warm arms.

Her forehead was pressed between his chest and abdomen, and the tip of her nose was instantly filled with the delicious cold fragrance on his body. Through the thin cloth, she could feel the firm lumps under the cloth...

He really has abs!

She thought about it untimely, glanced down inadvertently, and realized what part it was, her face was instantly hot.

It's over, I'm really hopeless.

She struggled to get out of his arms, buried her little head very low, and said vaguely, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

The man’s gentle, smiling voice sounded above his head, "You apologized for what you did, it was you who pulled you alone."

Tao Ti, "..."

Although, she always felt that she was frivolous and took advantage of him.

After a while of silence, Pei Yan walked to the side and sat down as if nothing happened, and said softly, "What did Ati make tonight?"

Tao Ti still lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I have stewed a soup of sour radish and old duck, and a cucumber. The staple food is Liangpi."

After speaking, she turned her head and gestured to Linglong.

Before long, the palace people put dinner on the table.

The sour radish Laoya soup is served in a delicate casserole. The noodles are floating with some wolfberries. The soup is light yellow. It is the duck oil that is boiled. It looks greasy, but the sour taste is neutralized by adding the secret sour radish. Greasy, not only makes the whole pot of soup taste not greasy, but also particularly delicious, the sour and sour taste mixed with the smell of meat wafting out, so people can't help but swallow.

That dish of cucumber, oil-green skin and light green flesh, covered with hot and sour garlic sauce, is coated with a bright red luster, and a layer of fragrant peanuts is sprinkled on the surface. Taste One bite, hot and sour and crispy, chewed carefully, mixed with the unique oily aroma of peanuts, and the fresh sweetness of cucumber. The more you eat, the better.

In addition, a large plate of Liangpi was placed, and the prepared sauce has not been put in yet.

Tao Ti poured a large cup of tea to dissipate the blush on his face, then rolled up his sleeves and mixed it on the spot—

"When you eat this cold skin, it will taste better if it is mixed early. If the flavor of the sauce is completely absorbed, the cold skin will become sticky and not so refreshing."

When it comes to food, she doesn't stammer at all.

Pei Yan rubbed the tea cup in his hand, smiling warmly and said, "Ati made it, and it tastes good."

Tao Ti's action of mixing cold skin, "..."

The tip of the ear rubbed, and it turned red again.

The mixed cold skin was divided into two bowls, and she pushed a large bowl in front of Pei Yan. She did not dare to look at him during the whole process. Xiao Xiao said, "Your Highness, eat."

She took her own bowl, sat down across from it, and ate it with her head buried.

The creamy-white translucent cold skin is mixed with green cucumber shreds, red carrot shreds, and golden gluten blocks, and then topped with a layer of fragrant chili oil and sauce. Just looking at it makes people appetite. open.

Pick up a chopstick and send it to your mouth. The cold skin is slippery, slightly cool, tender and smooth. Each stick is evenly dipped in the sauce. As soon as you take it, the spicy and sour flavors stimulate together. The taste buds couldn't help but secrete saliva. After chewing a big mouthful with satisfaction, there was a refreshing numbness in the mouth.

After eating bite after bite, it didn't take long for Tao Ti to finish the bowl of Liangpi in front of him.

Pei Yan's gaze fell on her slightly red and swollen mouth. After a while, he put down his chopsticks and slowly scooped a bowl of sour radish duck soup for her and set it aside to dry.

Tao Ti pursed her lips, said thank you in a low voice, and said, "Your bowl is not as spicy as mine. I just added two spoonfuls of chili oil to make it so spicy."

Pei Yan nodded gracefully, and said calmly, "It's not spicy, but it tastes good. This cold skin is very suitable for summer."

Tao Ti said, "Then you eat more, if you like it, I will continue to make it tomorrow."

Pei Yan responded with a smile, and said, "The weather is also getting hot. The errand here is estimated to be completed in three days. By then, we can pack our bags and get ready to go back to Chang'an."

Hearing this, Tao Ti blinked in surprise and looked at him, "Can you go back?"

Pei Yan said, "Yeah."

Afterwards, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Ati, is this homesick?"

Tao Ti was taken aback for a moment, her thick and long eyelashes hung down, and her dark pupils flashed in a bit of melancholy.

Homesick?

Thinking is thinking, but thinking is not about the Yongweihoufu in Chang'an, but the modern home.

But perhaps after living in the East Palace for two months, she subconsciously regarded the East Palace as her home in the Great Yuan Dynasty.

She pursed her lips, and said softly, "A little bit."

Pei Yan smiled faintly, stared at her deeply, and said, "If you can rush back to Chang'an on the Dragon Boat Festival, will you take you to the Weihe River to watch the dragon boat race?"

"Yes, it is now the end of April, and it will be the Dragon Boat Festival soon..."

Tao Ti suddenly looked at Pei Yan with a pair of curious eyes, "His Royal Highness, is this dragon boat race very lively?"

Seeing her playful appearance, Pei Yan laughed dumbly, "It's very lively, then you have to follow Gu's side closely, don't get lost."

"I'm not a kid anymore, how can I get lost so easily!"

Tao Ti smiled, half-jokingly said, "It really can't, take a rope to tie our two hands together, so they won't separate."

The smile in Pei Yan's eyes paused.

rope.

His hand touched his chest unconsciously.

Those two red ropes are still in the position of his heart, and they haven’t found the right time to send them out...

After a while, when Luoyang's pile of bad debts are dealt with, he will find another good day and tie the red rope to her snow-white wrist by himself.

Linglong, who stood by and waited on her side, "???"

Why did His Royal Highness also cover his chest, this thing is still contagious?
