Back to the ancient favorite

"Fatty Ge cleaned up the pot. I'll be cooking later." Xiliu angrily threw the spoon at Fatty Ge, and it happened to get stuck in his collar. Ge Tianming took it out The spoon nodded to Xiliu.

Seeing this, Xiliu comforted the group of starving ghosts and said, "Don't worry, everyone has something to eat. I'll make it after he washes the pot."

"Master Xie!" Everyone no longer surrounded Ge Tianming, but waited obediently for Xiliu to boil the pot again.

After making another pot, even the pears were waiting by the side with a bowl, Xiliu looked at the people around her with a disgusted face and said, "Look at how useless you are." Then she left the pot, and before leaving Patted Lizi and said, "I'm going to the gym."

"Master, go slowly!" Lizi waited for the porridge without even looking back, Xiliu could only wave her arms and leave the kitchen.

In the princess room, the princess looked up at the prince early after eating and said apologetically, "I thought the prince was gone again...it seems I was worrying too much." The princess looked at Prince Man with a happy smile, although Prince Man knew What did I do but still nodded and smiled, Ah Ren knocked on the door and showed a note to Prince Man, Prince Man nodded and said apologetically: "Quick transmission in the palace, this king..."

"My lord, let's go. I'll go see brother Xiliu later." The princess bowed her head and said, but Prince Man's heart thumped. He didn't want Xiliu to see anyone, and he didn't want the princess to disturb him, but the princess But he said: "After all, he is the royal family, if I don't go to see him, it will always appear that I don't know the rules and etiquette."

"Xiliu doesn't think so." Prince Man just wanted to stop him, but Ah Ren urged him again, Prince Man could only nod his head and bow and left.

Seeing Prince Man leaving, the mother went to support the princess and said, "Princess, you still have to salute him because of your status. He should take the initiative to pay a visit to you."

"Mommy, I'm young after all, so why do you let me not come down?" The princess is also a well-educated person, seeing that Mammy stopped talking, she asked her to prepare some small gifts and went to pay a visit to Xiliu.

It happened that Xiliu was in the open space in front of the 'gym' and watched Butler Wu and some servants chopping wood. Some of them squatted down playfully, picked up a small dagger from the calf bag, and carved When he got up, he carved a little bird and said to Butler Wu: "Look at the Primrose Bird~ Goo Goo!" Then he smiled at the crowd with a happy smile, Xiliu's smile was like the spring sunshine melting snow, warm According to people, he picked up a few more pieces of wood and said, "I'll make a few more, and you can put them on the tree in front of the window to pretend that spring is here."

And this smile is like an inscription for some reason, engraved into the princess's mind, into her heart.

Even Nanny couldn't believe it as her heart was covered by the boy's warm smile.

Xiliu took the bird and pecked at Butler Wu's hand mischievously. Butler Wu smiled and played with him for a while. Xiliu put the bird in his hand and said, "I saw you with a child a few days ago. Is this yours?"

"Ah...Master Hui, he is my nephew. His father came to Beijing to see a doctor and entrusted him to take him with me for a few days. Don't worry, Master, I have made arrangements for it." Butler Wu replied with a smile while holding the bird in his hand.

Xiliu nodded and patted him on the back and said, "If there is anything I need to do, just say it."

"Master Xie, we all know your kindness. You really don't need to worry this time." Butler Wu returned the bird to him with a smile. Xiliu pushed and said, "Just let him play."

Then he stood up gracefully, watching his house being busy, but he wanted to turn around and go to the gym for a set of punches.

At this moment, Lizi's voice sounded from outside the porch: "Master! Master! Eh? Princess?"

Lizi walked up to the princess and hurriedly bowed her head and said timidly, "I don't know if the princess is here again, so I ask the princess to make amends."

Only then did Xiliu turn her head to look at the princess who had been standing by the porch peeping at her, and tilted her head.After the princess waved her hand, she turned around and looked at Xiliu.

At that moment, a clear stream spread all over Xiliu's body, and he stared at the princess with wide eyes, a little shocked: "Fuck!This princess looks too pure!It's exactly the same as the first love in my dream! '

The princess also looked straight at Xiliu, unable to extricate herself: "Is the most beautiful man in the imperial city?"This title is too restrictive. '

The two people who hit it off almost immediately looked away in embarrassment amidst the sound of Mammy coughing up thousand-year-old phlegm.

"Uh... sorry, I'm sorry." Xiliu hurriedly bowed to apologize, and warned herself: "Xiliu, you figured it out, he is the concubine of Prince Man!" '

"No, I came to disturb brother Xiliu without saying hello." The princess also hurriedly lowered her head, a little helpless: "What's the matter with you, this is the prince's main room!" '

"Ah... no, I shouldn't have looked at the princess so disrespectfully." Xiliu turned out to be full of foul language, and Lizi thought she was pinching herself in a dream.

"Brother Xiliu can just call me Ruoxin. Since he is also serving the prince, brother Xiliu doesn't have to be so polite." The princess couldn't speak well, and now she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

Xiliu wailed in her heart: "You told me not to be formal!"How can it be!Is it possible that you still want to rub something with me... Damn!Xiliu what are you thinking! ’ But he said: "Uh, I am also loved by the prince, and I am no different from you."

"No, Brother Xiliu is so handsome..." After the words were spoken, the princess suddenly blushed and closed her mouth, with a look of shock in disbelief that these words came out of her own mouth.

Everyone present was stunned, the princess actually praised Xiliu's beauty, everyone looked at the princess's flushed face and hesitated and didn't know what to do.

Xiliu was stunned by his praise: "Can you believe it, she is complimenting you too, Xiliu!"Wake up!He is your man's concubine! After a long time of construction in her heart, Xiliu hurriedly gave the princess a step down: "Where does the princess listen to other people's gossip, I am just an ordinary person."

When the princess saw him coming back, she quickly went along and said, "I heard that brother Xiliu is the most beautiful man in the imperial city when I first came to the imperial city, so..."

"Stop adoring me, I can't afford it." Xiliu wanted to calm himself down, but he kept telling himself because he had too much drama in his heart: "This girl is interesting to you, Xiliu , It's amazing. '

"Some small gifts are not considered as respect." The princess quickly lowered her head and wanted to run away after delivering the things. The nanny wanted to hand it to Lizi, but found that Lizi's cheeks were swollen, because Lizi really couldn't believe that this person who was so polite It was Master Xiliu, who had the illusion of returning to the past.

After Lizi accepted the gift, the princess hurriedly bowed and ran away.

Looking at the princess's flushed cheeks, Xiliu was suddenly annoyed and amused: "Now... what should I do. '

Xiliu walked up to Lizi, looked at his face and asked, "Have you been beaten? Your face is as swollen as the suckling pig last night." Lizi looked at Xiliu in shock and started to curse again, frowning He asked: "Master... Is it you who is the one who can't understand, or is it you who just reciprocated with the princess?"

"That's all Lao Tzu, how can there be so many words." Xiliu raised her hand and opened two boxes, one containing a silver bun inlaid with amber, and the other a pendant of a small pot with a painting of a grassland and A galloping horse.

Xiliu smiled and said: "Reciprocity is a matter of courtesy, it seems that we have to give her something different." After that, I went to the gym to punch.

When it was time for snacks in the afternoon, Lizi appeared in front of the princess's room with her servants, knocked on the door and said, "Princess, Master Xiliu asked me to bring you two dishes of snacks."

Nanny opened the door angrily, looked at Lizi suspiciously, and then said with a wave of distrust, "Why did you send the snacks?"

When Lizi saw Mammy, she remembered what he had said bad about Xiliu in the morning, and she felt angry, but since she was ordered by Xiliu, she had to send the snacks to the princess anyway, so he yelled loudly: "This is Master Xiliu. I made it myself, horse milk cake and milk tea roll! The young master felt that the princess would be homesick after marrying in the imperial city, so the young master tried his best to make delicious ones so that the princess would feel that marrying the prince is worth it."

The princess warmed up when she heard it behind the door. The prince was right to be nice to her, but brother Xiliu was also so kind to her, which made her feel that the instructions of those mothers and fathers when she first left the house were all fake. What should I do? He was going to be bullied when he was young, and the main house would definitely make him feel bad. These other people's affairs are just floating clouds here.

As long as the people in this family treat you well, there is nothing to deliberately guard against.

Before Mammy could question her, the princess opened the door and said, "Come in."

"Princess!" Mammy was about to die of anxiety, when Xiliu's voice sounded from outside: "Lizi, wait a minute."

Lizi turned her head to look at Xiliu who was rushing over. Xiliu also felt that it was a bit abrupt for her to give her snacks directly, so she took out a jar of honey and said, "I forgot to pour it in." on the cake.

Mammy looked anxiously: "What! Are you trying to kill the princess?"

Xiliu's eyelashes fluttered. He took back the bottle and closed the lid, then looked up at the nanny: "Why, this nanny thinks that I want to kill the princess?"

The princess was stunned and worried and wanted to come out to fight, but Lizi put the snack on the princess's table unmoved, then took out the silver hair bun they gave Xiliu before, inserted it back and forth in the pastry, and then Turning to the gasping nanny at the door, she said, "Unless you say, mammy, the things you gave the young master are poisonous, otherwise these are all good things."

Mammy was stunned, and the princess lowered her head and laughed for some reason.

Xiliu nodded and looked at the nanny, straightened her clothes and said slowly: "In the Mansion, no one will do harm to the princess. My lord, I will protect the princess. If you insist on saying that we are right If the princess is good, there must be some intention." Xiliu snorted coldly, looked at the nanny coldly and said, "Then my only intention is to think that you want to harm the princess." Xiliu said ruthlessly, like a cat The hungry wolf was about to tear the prey in front of him immediately, Mammy was unavoidably frightened by him.

"Mommy, don't make any trouble in Manwang Mansion, otherwise, I won't let you go." Xiliu turned her head sideways to Mammy and said, as if she wanted to kiss her.

Mammy closed her eyes and frowned, not daring to look into his cold eyes, Xiliu let go of Mammy and smiled at the princess and said, "I can't do anything for you, if you have anything to eat, just eat it Tell me, if it’s inconvenient, you can let Lizi, Taoer, or your mother-in-law tell me.” Xiliu nodded, took the silver hairpin from Lizi’s hand, wiped it on her cuffs, and looked at the princess in front of her. His face was caught in his high brushed hair.

"Brother Xiliu." The princess happily sat down and picked up a custard cake and took a bite, then suddenly called out softly.

"Princess! Are you okay!" Mammy knelt aside in fear and looked at the happy face of the princess. Sweet glutinous milk cake."

Before Mammy could react, the princess stuffed a custard into her mouth. She just wanted to say something but was choked up by the smooth and sweet custard and couldn't utter a word.

Different from the hard masala cakes that I ate before, the masala cakes made by Xiliu are glutinous and sweet, more like a jelly than a pastry. The sweetness and smoothness of honey even cover the original savory taste of the masala cakes. You just need to lick your lips to cut off the mare milk cake, and the sweetness of each bite gave the princess the illusion of running happily among the horses.

She picked up the silver spoon on the side and dug another spoonful of milk tea rolls.

Xiliu washed Lapsang Souchong, which was paid tribute to the prince, with hot milk, half of which was mixed with egg whites and whipped into milk foam, and the other half was mixed with egg whites, flour, and cornstarch to knead into rice balls. Made some taro balls from taro and added them, added powdered sugar, steamed and roasted to make milk tea rolls.

The milk tea rolls are not as sweet as the custard cake, they are moderately smooth and have the elasticity of taro balls. The princess has never eaten such an interesting dessert. She kept admiring: "Brother Xiliu is really amazing, Xiliu Brother is really good."

Perhaps if these words really reach Xiliu's ears, he will definitely dream about it for a long time.

It’s a joy for the kids in the kitchen, because Xiliu forgot the original method of mixing low-gluten flour, so he had to try it many times, but the milk was almost used up, and the 30th person in the back kitchen ate happily The failed product made by Xiliu, although failed, is still very delicious.

Prince Man returned to the mansion, seeing that there were not many people in the house, he suddenly felt uneasy and worried. His first reaction was what happened to Xiliu, so he hurried to the kitchen and saw a group of people gathered in front of the kitchen who didn't know what to do. What.

"What kind of decency!" Lord Man yelled and everyone backed away, but he saw Xiliu cutting something with a knife in his hand, while the servants were holding something in their own bowls.

"Xiliu?" Prince Man's anger disappeared in an instant, he walked into the crowd and watched everyone bow to him, and looked at Xiliu's 'stall' for some reason.

"Come back, the princess called on me today, and then I made some snacks for her, what you said, reciprocity... But because of many experiments, there are so many more." Xiliu pointed at it with a knife A row of milk tea rolls said a little funny, "It's inevitable that I will miss it sometimes."

Prince Man suddenly laughed, he nodded and reached out to take it, but Xiliu patted his hand and said with some blame: "Come back after washing your hands! They are all blocking my face to wash!" Xiliu pointed Looking at the servants, the servants nodded quietly, making the prince who jumped in the line feel helpless.

"Okay." The prince smiled and took Aren to wash his hands together, and returned to the kitchen. Li Zi asked them both to enter the kitchen to 'take a seat'. The horse milk cake and milk tea rolls were prepared for the two of them early.

Prince Man looked back at Xiliu's tossing figure with a smile, and was suddenly very satisfied. He picked up a piece of sliced ​​milk tea roll and put it in his mouth, and was instantly shocked by the taste.

"This king...has never eaten such a delicious thing." Prince Man looked at the half milk tea roll in his hand, and heard a sound of sniffling. He turned to look at Ah Ren, and Ah Ren was so moved that he cried.

Li Zi laughed and took out a handkerchief and said to Aren: "You eat first, the young master ordered to send some to the children."

Prince Man knew who the child Lizi was talking about was, butler Wu told the prince everything that happened recently at the wedding banquet that day, and of course he didn't mention that Xiliu cut off other people's tongues and ears Prince Man not only marveled at Xiliu's behavior, but also marveled at his growth.

Prince Man picked up another piece of milk tea roll, looked back at Aren and said, "Do you think the current Xiliu is better, or the old one?"

Ah Ren pointed to Xiliu outside the door with tears in his eyes and then wiped his own tears. Prince Man smiled and looked at his busy back and nodded in agreement: "This king thinks so too."
