Back to the ancient favorite

Xiliu went into the kitchen and put down the basket, looking like she was about to cry, she sat down by the table and sighed again and again, Ge Tianming and the others didn't understand what happened, so they approached him and asked comfortingly, "Master Xiliu, why are you moaning?" .”

Xiliu propped her head with her hands, sighed again, and then slowly said: "Last night... the prince and I...were in bed..." Xiliu kept speaking in a low voice, but the people around her listened closer and closer. With Xiliu's blushing face, everyone understood that he was going to say those inappropriate things in the future.

Ge Tianming coughed dryly and patted him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him: "Isn't this a good thing? It means that the prince loves you, so what's the point of sighing, and even blocked the prince at the door to prevent him from seeing him."

"You know what a fart!" Xiliu blushed and stood up and slapped the table heavily. The flour on the table was ups and downs. With a face full of tears, no one knew what happened.

"Me! Me!" Xiliu sat down again, stepped on the chair with her legs, hugged her knees tightly and cried bitterly, crying and shouting: "I don't even know what happened! It's almost over when I come back It’s gone! You obviously don’t know anything!” Then he buried his face in his knees.

What these few words said made everyone speechless. Whether to comfort... or not to comfort, became a question without an answer. Everyone could only watch him cry and cry, and instantly felt that Xiliu was also very uncomfortable. Easy, but you have to worry about the whole palace, and you have to worry about this man and woman...

Xiliu touched a handful of tears, choked up for a long time, washed her hands and angrily began to peel the papaya. Seeing Xiliu's motivation, everyone started to 'work' in a hurry, although this motivation has always been Accompanied by the sound of sniffling.

The blind man came in from the side door and knocked on the beam of the kitchen door. Xiliu didn't look back, but Lizi said softly from outside: "Master, the blind man said that the old man who made rice cakes has returned to his hometown. Let him send you a message." .”

Xiliu then put down the papaya in her hand and turned to look at the door. After Lizi took the letter and handed it to Xiliu, Xiliu asked, "What else did he say?"

"Master, the old man said, thank you for your care for so many years. He is old and needs to return to his hometown to enjoy his old age. The method of making rice cakes has been written in the letter to show his gratitude for the care of the years." The blind man replied after bowing.

Xiliu nodded, took the letter to the stove, opened the pot with boiling water on it, burned the letter to ashes, and then smiled bitterly: "That is the pride of his life, I don't deserve it." When she was done, Xiliu turned around and asked, "Did you give me some money?"

"It was arranged according to your first order." The blind man said with a smile.

In fact, as early as his birthday, the old man had already said something about missing his hometown, and Xiliu also felt that he would say goodbye one day, and he told the blind man everything that day, and it actually came into use.

Xiliu smiled, nodded her head and continued to peel the papaya, and said with a regretful voice, "Alright, I wish the old man good health."

The blind man made a bow and left. Lizi helped clean up the peel, and asked Xiliu with some confusion: "Master, do you really not want to see it?"

Xiliu smiled, looked up at Lizi seriously, and said, "He has spent his whole life studying the method of making rice cakes. This kind of person is called a craftsman in our place, so his whole life's research can only be done by those who have been carefully cultivated by him." Obtained, and I, just a paid passer-by, have no qualifications."

Lizi didn't understand this kind of thing very well, so she could only nod her head vaguely. Xiliu was just about to peel the second papaya, when Xiaotao's voice began to shout from a distance: "Master! Master Xiliu!"

"En?" Xiliu wiped her hands with a gauze towel, got up and walked out of the kitchen, looked at the worried Xiaotao holding Xiliu's hand and said, "Princess! The princess is about to give birth! She keeps calling your name! Master Go check it out!"

"Okay." Xiliu didn't care about her identity, and ran to the princess room, and saw Prince Man standing in front of the door, holding his breath, looking at the room with a frown, but couldn't go in. , but he was still shocked when he saw Xiliu: "Even you were shocked."

Because he was still angry, Xiliu didn't bother to talk to him, watching the pots of water being brought in, Xiliu panicked, he raised his head and asked Prince Man: "It's going to be okay."

Prince Man was suddenly curious: "Are you willing to talk to me?"

Asked a good question but got bullied, Xiliu shook his head and ignored him, which made Man Wang dumbfounded, Xiliu thought about asking Lizi to find Gui Xiaohong, Lizi went to do it, Man Wangye I understand, why did the princess go to a tailor for delivery, so she asked, "Why do you want her?"

"Gui Xiaohong has given birth to three children, she naturally knows what the mother needs to eat after the child is born, so I can prepare it now." Xiliu replied seriously, and Prince Man suddenly felt warm, this Xiliu is really amazing gentle and considerate.

Before Gui Xiaohong could bow to the two of them, Xiliu grabbed her hand, and Xiliu yelled into the room: "Princess! I'll make you some food! Come on!" Then she took her away. Gui Xiaohong.

Gui Xiaohong looked at Prince Man with a flattered face and squinted her eyes to look at herself, a little frightened, but she couldn't shake off Xiliu's hand, so she could only nod to Prince Man helplessly.

"What was the first thing you ate after giving birth?" Xiliu dragged her to the kitchen in big strides.

Gui Xiaohong trotted and said: "On the first day, there should be no meat or fish, it should be light."

Xiliu nodded: "Then what should I do?"

"How about...how about making papaya and rice porridge?" Gui Xiaohong couldn't keep up with Xiliu's footsteps, and was dragged and dragged so hard that she almost fell over. Xiliu quickly stopped and looked back at Gui Xiaohong and asked worriedly: " Did you fall?"

"No, no, no." Gui Xiaohong looked at Xiliu's worried face, and for some reason felt that the young master had grown up a lot.

Xiliu nodded and let her walk slowly, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Find a white porcelain pot with a hundred patterns, add the cleaned millet and rice, add water to cover the knuckles of your fingers, and cook on high heat.

Dice the pumpkin, put it into the pot after it boils, change the heat to medium and add a little rock sugar, after boiling, change the heat to a simmer and cook slowly, put a pair of chopsticks on it and wait slowly.

Xiliu wiped off her sweat, and looked at the contents of the pot with a gentle face. For some reason, she felt a sense of pride...to be a father...

"Fuck, what are you thinking!" Just thinking about it, he slapped himself hard, thinking to himself: 'If it's really yours, you're screwed, you idiot. '

Everyone present was stunned by this slap. They didn't know whether he was angry that Prince Man had an heir, or that the princess was about to have a higher status than himself.

Xiliu didn't care what they were thinking, but she was a little uncertain. First, if it was her own, what would Prince Man think.Second, if it belongs to Prince Man... can I... still balance my mentality?

After thinking about it, the midwife mother ran to the kitchen and said to Lizi, "Boil some more hot water!"

Xiliu looked up at the sweaty delivery mother, feeling even more flustered. He opened the lid with bare hands and accidentally burned his hands. After taking it back, he pinched his ears and frowned. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Don't worry about it!" As for him, as long as he is safe."

From noon until sunset on the mountain, only pots of clear water came in and pots of red water came out, the prince Man was a little worried, he began to chant: "Don't worry about anything." Then he repeated it several times.

Xiliu has been standing in the kitchen praying sincerely, while Prince Man has been standing at the door worried and afraid.

Finally, when the starry sky was shining brightly with the moon, a cry of a child resounded throughout the mansion.

Prince Man raised his head and instantly expressed joy. After the news reached Xiliu's ears, Xiliu was crying even more, cooking the porridge that had been cooking for a long time.

"Congratulations to the lord! Congratulations to the lord! It's a boy!" The midwives came out and bowed and smiled. The prince Man nodded to thank them, and asked Butler Wu to prepare a big gift to thank the midwives for their continuous efforts.

After the princess woke up, Prince Man patted her hand and thanked her for her hard work. The princess smiled and shook her head and replied: "Why did you say that? For the prince, if the heart is worth it." After all, when she turned her head to look at the child with white skin like jade, she couldn't help but gasped.

"Come on, have some porridge, Xiliu cooked it for you." Prince Man took the white jade bowl on the table and touched it. Fortunately, it was not cold. I took a spoonful and blew it before feeding it to her.

The princess laughed after taking the first sip: "Brother Xiliu, how can you understand this? People who have just given birth can only drink some light food."

The prince scooped up another spoonful and said with a smile: "He took Gui Xiaohong from the mansion to the kitchen and asked you what you should eat." Then he took the handkerchief and wiped the corner of the princess's mouth and said with a smile, "This child's skin is very white, and he looks like Xiliu."

The princess was shocked and coughed again and again. Prince Man patted her on the back with a smile and said, "Why?"

The princess didn't know how to speak, but a voice from outside the door suddenly rang out: "You must be like me! Don't you look at the top-notch things that I feed the princess on weekdays! All of them are good for skin! Man Sheng'an! If you don't want the child, you can raise it for me! If you raise it for me, you can follow me!"

Xiliu happened to hear this outside the door, and thought of a bad idea after a quick turn, because he had never seen the child himself, so he was afraid that what the prince said was true.

Prince Man looked out of the door with a funny face, handed the porridge to Xiaotao, took the baby from the nanny's hand and said to the princess: "Look at your brother Xiliu, your hands were burned when you were in labor, I brought it to him have a look."

The princess nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Man carried the child to the door to show Xiliu. Xiliu put his hands behind his back, looked at this little white little one and said with a smile: "If a The girl's name is Snow White."

"It's a pity?" Man Wangye looked at Xiliu's face full of love, a little warm.

"It's a pity, have you thought of a name for him? The nickname... Let's call it Boiled Egg." Xiliu just wanted to reach out to pinch the little face that frowned when he heard "Boiled Egg" and looked at him. The gauze in his hand still put down his hand and shook his head.

Prince Man saw his pity, and said with a smile: "Boiled egg sounds good, the name... Xiliu has an idea."

"Man Xinwei." Xiliu said without thinking. Prince Man was stunned. He had already started calling Xiliu Xiaowei, but every time he missed it by mistake. This time he looked at Xiliu and blurted out: "Xiaowei "But Xiliu looked up at him and nodded, and said with a happy face, "Xiaowei is not bad either!"

"Heh." Prince Man withdrew his eyes, since he didn't recognize him, he didn't force him anymore, "Fu Xinwei, open heart and eyesight, Wei De is the auxiliary, good name."

"Ah? Doesn't it mean cleverness and ingenuity?" Xiliu raised her head and looked at Prince Man with a foolish look, and suddenly felt that what she thought was far from him.

"Who would say that about his son?" Prince Man said with a smile, but Xiliu was taken aback: "Why, he knows that this child is mine?" '

Prince Man shook his head and said: "Forget it, now you, as the main wife, have to shoulder the burden of disciplining your children."

Xiliu sighed, patted her frightened little chest, nodded and said, "I want to teach him...to cook! I have to support myself in the future."

"Haha! As you wish." Prince Man smiled and returned the child who was about to cry to the nanny.

A few days later, the princess found Xiliu, gently tugged at the hem of his clothes, and took him to a gym. She said hesitantly, "Brother Xiliu, if it's not bad, my heart belongs to my brother..."

"I know, I know, I think so too..." Xiliu scratched her head in embarrassment, "Don't ever tell the prince!"

The princess nodded quickly: "Ruo Xin only said that brother is well-raised."

After agreeing with her statement, Xiliu raised her head and asked, "Do you regret it? With me..."

When the princess heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward to grab Xiliu's hand, she shook her head repeatedly and said, "Ruoxin never regrets it! If it wasn't for brother Xiliu, Ruoxin would have... long ago... hated Jiuquan."

Xiliu touched her cheek and smiled softly, "Thank you."

"I should thank brother."

"But..." Xiliu frowned and asked, "But... since this is mine, I hope the princess can give birth to another child for the prince... The emperor has many children, so the prince still has no children. son."

The princess nodded with a smile and said, "Ruoxin also has feelings for the prince. Brother Xiliu can feel at ease. Ruoxin will not betray the prince, let alone brother Xiliu. Ruoxin has already made up her mind about this incident." , when the body recovers and the heart grows stronger, I will discuss this matter with the prince."

Xiliu smiled and nodded, feeling a wave of favorability towards this obedient and sensible princess in her heart.
