The leaves fall without parallel

"Did your sister catch a cold? It's all my fault for causing trouble for her."

Xiaolan blames herself

"I'm fine. It's you, on the other hand, who must have been frightened just now. Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold."

"Sister, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. From now on, Xiaolan's life is yours."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have always treated you as my own sister. I will protect you from now on. Don't be afraid."

Ye Qingge comforted Xiaolan for a while. If the child's parents had not died early, she would not have been bullied at such a young age.

Nanny Wang and Qingshi came together

"Xiyan, the prince has ordered you to serve him."

"What? Did Mammy make a mistake?"

Ye Qingge's pupils were shocked

"You're right. You must have saved someone today. The prince thinks you can be used. This is a great opportunity. I've been in the palace for so many years and I've never seen the prince designate anyone to serve."

Mammy smiled like an aunt

"But I've never served anyone before, and I'm afraid if I make a mistake, I only have one life."

"You are so smart, I believe you will do well, go ahead."

"Miss, please"

Qingshi made a gesture of invitation

Ye Qingge followed Qingshi reluctantly, and turned back to see Xiaolan and Nanny with aunt smiles on their faces. Did they misunderstand something?

Ye Qingge was in a state of confusion. She was going to the battlefield.

"Mammy, has Sister Xiyan become very successful since then?"

Xiaolan smiled happily

"I'm not sure either. Serving the prince isn't a blessing for everyone, but it's a good thing after all."

Ye Qingge followed Qingshi to the main courtyard

"Miss, please come in. The prince is inside."

"Ah I……"

Ye Qingge walked in with heavy steps, and saw Xiao Lingche reading a book.

"My Lord, what can I do for you?"

Ye Qingge asked in a low voice

"Why wasn't the sound quite loud just now? Now it's just like a mosquito."

Xiao Lingche looked over with sharp eyes.

Well, this is the beginning of punishing her.

"Your Highness was in a hurry, so I raised my voice to prove myself. Please don't blame me. I'm actually very timid and I'm afraid I can't serve you well. Why don't you find someone else to serve me?"

"Are you timid? I think you are very brave. You dare to talk about me behind my back!"

A book flew over.

Ye Qingge dodged it easily. Oh my god, I almost died just now. Wait, this prince actually eavesdropped on her conversation.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again."

Ye Qingge quickly picked up the book and presented it to Xiao Lingche. Xiao Lingche looked at her thoughtfully. She reacted so quickly, and she must have some skills.

But her breathing was steady and she didn't seem to know any martial arts at all. Who was she?

"I am thirsty, please pour me a cup of tea."

"Yes"

Ye Qingge quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Lingche

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

"It's cold"

"I'll boil another pot right away."

"Your Majesty, please"

Ye Qingge handed over the second cup

"It's burned"

Xiao Ling didn't even raise his head

After a while, Ye Qingge handed over the third cup

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

"It's thick"

The fourth cup is handed over

"Faded"

Ye Qingge? ? Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble with me? On the surface, it seems that he promoted her, but in fact, he is taking the opportunity to make things difficult for her.

Ye Qingge handed over the fifth cup of tea

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

"What is this?"

Xiao Lingche looked at the cup in front of him and found that it was not filled with tea at all.

"Your Highness, this is my homemade milk tea. It's the most popular drink in my hometown. It's made with milk and black tea. It has both the aroma of milk and tea. Your Highness, please try it. It's delicious."

Xiao Lingche took a sip

"The taste is indeed unique, but I don't like sweet things. Take it away."

This prince is really hard to serve!

Finally, it was evening and time for dinner. Ye Qingge served the last dish.

"Your Majesty, please have your meal."

Prepare to retreat

"Wait, try the food for me."

Xiao Lingche sat down with a stern look

Is he afraid that the food might be poisonous?

Ye Qingge picked up the chopsticks and started to taste

"This sweet and sour pork ribs is delicious, the meat is tender and just the right amount of sweetness. You can eat more. This Dongpo pork elbow is soft and tender, with a mellow flavor, fat but not greasy. However, this golden black-bone chicken was stewed a little too long, and the meat is a bit dry..."

Ye Qingge's tasting ends

"Your Majesty, you may have your meal now."

"How can I eat this dish when it's all covered in your saliva? Are you really not good at it or are you doing it on purpose?"

"Your Majesty, please listen to my excuse, no, please listen to my explanation."

Ye Qingge was about to speak

"Your Highness, the Concubine Shu invites you."

Qingshi is really my savior

"Humph"

Xiao Lingche threw away his sleeves and left

"Your Highness, are you going to eat this dish? If not, can you give it to me as a reward?"

Ye Qingge asked in a hoarse voice

I saw Xiao Lingche walk away without looking back. I took it as your consent.

Take it back and share it with Xiaolan, don't waste it, hehe, this prince is really wasteful

Qingshi looked at Xiao Lingche's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and couldn't help but say

"Your Majesty, I will be meeting the Concubine Shu later. Please smile a little."

"Does the king need you to teach me?"

"Yes, yes, I blame you for being too talkative. But Your Majesty, I think that maidservant is heartless and doesn't know how to serve others. It would be better to replace her. It would be bad if she gets sick from anger."

Xiao Lingche kicked Qingshi on the butt

"I'm a veteran of battles, how can I be angered by a maid? Get out!"

Qingshi stumbled and almost fell

"I know I'm wrong, I'll get out now"

-

Xiao Lingche arrives at Zhaohua Palace

"Your son pays homage to your mother."

The Concubine Shu spoke softly

"Get up quickly, Che'er"

"When you returned to Beijing this time, my mother and I didn't have a good chat, and you didn't even come to see me. I had no choice but to ask you to come."

"It is my fault, please forgive me, mother."

"You haven't eaten yet, right? I've prepared some of your favorite dishes. Would you like to eat with me?"

"Yes, mother."

"Come and serve the meal"

"Che'er, this is the sweet and sour pork ribs you've loved since childhood. Come and eat more."

Concubine Shu picked up a piece of pork ribs and gave it to Xiao Lingche

Xiao Lingche looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of him, and remembered the greasy mouth of Ye Qingge after eating the sweet and sour pork ribs, and instantly lost his appetite.

Women in this world eat food slowly and chew it carefully, and they eat very little, basically just taking a small bite. Unlike her, she eats meat with big mouthfuls, almost not even leaving out the bones.

This was the first time he had seen such an ugly way of eating. If he hadn't thought she was useful, he would have thrown her out long ago.

"Mother, I don't want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs today."

Concubine Shu was slightly startled

"Then let's eat something else."

"Why isn't Xun'er here?"

Xiao Lingche asked

"He went to learn horseback riding and hasn't come back yet. He said he wants to be as good as you when he grows up, and he's clamoring to meet you..."

Concubine Shu couldn't hide her joy

"He is only ten years old, but he is so hardworking. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"He must be very happy to hear you praise him."

After exchanging pleasantries with Concubine Shu for a while, Xiao Lingche stood up and took his leave.

"Don't you wait for Xun'er to come back? He misses you very much."

"Next time, I have something else to do."

Xiao Lingche left without looking back
