Back to the ancient favorite

A few days later, the prince went out to handle errands, and Xiliu was finally able to openly play with her heart.

Xiliu took him to the front yard, the back hall, and the kitchen. All the way, she heard Xinwei giggling. The princess sat in the room embroidering a small bib, listening to Xiaotao complaining that Xiliu took the child to the kitchen. Things, but just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing the child yawning and looking sleepy, Xiliu carried him back to the cabin, put him back in the crib, shook Xinwei and fell asleep.

"It's really fun." Xiliu leaned against the side of the small bed and poked his immature cheek and said softly, "Xinwei, I'm your father, if you don't behave in the future, I'll beat your little ass to pieces. Force you to eat bitter melon!"

Xinwei seemed to understand it, and then suddenly let out a loud howl after hmmmm, so frightened that Xiliu was coaxing and making faces, but it was useless.

Hearing the sound, the nanny came in with the new clothes and said with a "giggle" smile, "Master Xiliu, what did you say, you scared the child." , to sleep peacefully.

With a long sigh, Xiliu shook her head and poked his cheek, and said in a low voice, "Okay, little daddy won't force you anymore." After speaking, she smiled at the nanny and left the room happily.

Just arrived at the door and saw Yingshan who came back from work, and it happened that Prince Man was not there, so it was time to ask him about the purple lily of the valley imprint on his arm.

"Shadow Mountain." Xiliu's face suddenly darkened, standing in the shaded porch, like a splashed ink painting without red, even though the scenery is beautiful, it is lifeless.

"Young master." Yingshan did not dare to look up into his eyes after making a bow.

Xiliu walked down the corridor to his side, raised her hand and opened his sleeve, snorted coldly and said, "Come to my study." Then, with a biting wind, she turned and left the front yard.

In the study, Xiliu turned the dipping pen in her hand with a cold face, looked at the lily of the valley drawn on the rice paper in front of her, and remained silent.

After Yingshan came in, Xiliu signaled Lizi to close the door, and she and Yingshan were alone in the room.

Yingshan frowned in confusion, he watched Xiliu turn the pen in his hand again and again, but didn't speak, Yingshan could only wait patiently.

I don't know how long I waited, and I don't know how many times Xiliu's pen fell off. Yingshan only knows that what has not changed is the way he looks at him, that kind of distrustful and suspicious eyes, which Yingshan has seen before. There were too many times, but this time, it was the time he wanted to justify the most, and the most clear truth.

Yingshan couldn't help but said, "Master Xiliu, if you have something to say, just say it."

Xiliu still didn't open his mouth, he just looked at Yingshan, until the dipping pen fell on the table again, then he slowly opened his mouth and said: "Is... the imprint on your left hand... natural?" After asking, Xiliu patted her thigh, cursing in her heart that she was not clear minded.

Xiliu knelt down and replied: "Master Hui, this is the mark of the spirit army. When my family suffered a massacre, the nurse carried me all the way to Xiajing. At that time, the late emperor happened to be hunting in the outskirts of the city and rescued me. He entrusted me to General Xuan and became a part of the Spirit Army."

Hearing this, Xiliu couldn't help but gasped into her stomach, "Entrust General Yu Xuan to become a part of the Ling Army..." These key words were like a sharp sword in Xiliu's ears, poked him in the chest.

"My mother's death...does it have anything to do with you..." Xiliu looked at Yingshan coldly, the hand on his leg was already pinching his leg tightly, so as to calm himself down.

Yingshan shook his head and said: "Later, before the late emperor died of illness, he gathered the spirit army and dismissed everyone..."

"Dismissed...?" Xiliu found that the clue was broken just like that, slapped the table fiercely, stood up and roared: "Dismissed! My mother didn't say anything before she died, only lily of the valley! Is this just a joke? "

Seeing that Xiliu was so angry, Yingshan didn't know what to say. He kowtowed heavily and said, "Although I don't know what happened, I have heard that Mrs. Xuan passed away due to illness...it shouldn't be...no It involves the Spirit Army."

When Yingshan said this, Xiliu felt that he should not be angry, because he confused the two modern and ancient mothers. Everyone here knew that Mrs. Xuan died of illness, but he seemed to know nothing. The bastard, who was still bringing out her deceased mother to refute right and wrong, Xiliu sneered on the chair, feeling that the clue was true and once again broken.

"In the end... what is mom trying to say..." Xiliu said blankly, looking at the lily of the valley on the rice paper.

Yingshan seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and said: "After the disbandment of the Spirit Army, I heard that someone wanted to regroup it again. After all, everyone in the Spirit Army is fighting for death, and life and death don't matter in the first place."

Xiliu frowned after hearing his words. If what he said was true, then the person who planned to kill her mother must also be a person who was going to die. If this is the case, then that person must be on the death list In addition to my parents, several people died in the car accident that day, and they should all be recorded in the hospital.

"The list..." Xiliu narrowed his eyes, but it was obvious that the list he mentioned was the death list of the car accident that day, but Yingshan bowed to him when he asked about the list and replied: "The spiritual army is selected for the record by the astrologer, so the list Also with the astrologer."

"Astrologer?" Xiliu tilted her head, looked at Yingshan's serious answer, and thought to herself: "It's not about playing games. Does this country still have such a magical profession?" '

Yingshan nodded and said: "The composition of the Lingjun was first recommended by the astrologer, saying that in order to protect the country, there must be such an organization, and it was he who made the subordinates stay with the emperor, but the astrologer is very mysterious. I’ve only heard of it and never seen it.”

What Xiliu heard was even more cloudy, but what is certain now is that the Lingjun was a mess left by the late emperor, and no one wanted to clean it up, so they just left it somewhere, and these people still have good intentions , want to reorganize, as for what to do, it is still unknown.

Xiliu nodded and looked at Yingshan, and said with some disappointment: "I still believe in your character, not those wild men. If there is any news about the spirit army in the future, please come and tell me directly."

Yingshan gratefully thanked Xiliu for his trust, kowtowed heavily and said again: "This subordinate is willing to do his best for Master Xiliu."

Xiliu slumped on the chair and replied angrily: "Don't, it's disgusting to think about it, it's not caviar, pork liver..." At this point, Xiliu's stomach unexpectedly rang, and he patted himself The unpromising stomach sneered, "Okay, if you talk about eating, you will play against me, okay, the pork liver brought back by Ge Tianming in the morning is very fresh, let's make a pork liver today to make up for my poor Get in the mood."

Xiliu went to the kitchen with a sullen face, and Ge Tianming laughed when she saw it: "Yo, is it because the prince is so sad when he goes out, or is it because someone offended you?"

Xiliu just wanted to scold him, but saw that Ge Tianming had already added cooking wine and starch to the basin and threw the chopped pork liver. Suddenly, he felt the pain of myocardial infarction. He clutched his heart and slipped to the pork liver After looking left and right, he was very angry: "I'll go! Did you throw everything into the basin?"

"Ang." Ge Tianming wiped his hands, but didn't realize his mistake, and saw Xiliu take out half of the chopsticks and put them in another basin and said, "You should save some extra starch! I want Cook some soup to nourish your brain!"

"Pork liver... fills the brain?" Ge Tianming looked at Xiliu like a fool, but Xiliu gave him a blank look, cursing in his mouth, but started to work with his hands sluggishly.

Find a bowl, add half a spoonful of soy sauce, half a spoonful of sweet noodle sauce, less salt, less sugar, mix it with water and stir it, set it aside for later use, let Ge Tianming put the pork liver that has been marinated until it turns light brown, and then remove it. I sliced ​​the green pepper myself, cut it in half, removed the seeds and cut into pieces, chopped the green onion and ginger, and then pushed Ge Tianming, who was still blanching, with his butt.

Ge Tianming raised his eyebrows and watched the servants set up the pot for Xiliu. When the oil was low, Xiliu threw in the minced green onion and ginger and stir-fried for a while, then looked at himself with the eyes of a fool, and saw Xiliu Look at Ge Tianming and then at his own pot, and then repeat this action.

"Ah?" Ge Tianming didn't understand the meaning of his flirting, but was kicked by him.

"Ah fart! The pig's liver is getting old!" Ge Tianming finally realized that he meant to eat the pig's liver, and quickly fished it out and threw it into the pot for him.

After stir frying a few times, Xiliu turned around and said, "Green peppers, that bowl of sauce, all in."

Following his instructions, the servant poured the two things in and watched his performance seriously. I saw Xiliu holding a pot in one hand and a shovel in the other, performing a perfect 360-degree dish flip. The eyes, this one is also very pleasing to the eye.

After the juice was collected, he took it out on the plate, wiped off his sweat, and smiled with satisfaction.

Xiliu wiped her hands, and suddenly sighed with emotion: "If I had a mobile phone, I would definitely take a picture and post it on Moments to complain about it. A good pastry chef...became an expert in home cooking..."

A group of people didn't understand what he was talking about, and they just wanted to smell the smell of pork liver and didn't want to leave for a long time. After Xiliu made another spinach and pork liver soup, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the group of people looking hopeless. , he patted Ge Tianming on the back and said: "It's too much fried, go and order some noodles, let's eat together."

"Hey! Master Xie for your love!" Ge Tianming and his servants started making noodles in a hurry. After finishing, Xiliu also copied a large portion and put it in the kitchen. After ordering the servants to bring a porridge for the princess, and Watching a group of kitchen brothers eat and drink happily, of course including my beloved brother Lizi.

Lizi ate two bowls of noodles with fried pork liver in sauce, and said curiously with her mouth: "I don't know when the prince will return from this trip, but the emperor is very peaceful, and no one is asking for trouble."

Xiliu bit her chopsticks and thought about it for a while, then nodded and agreed with Lizi's idea, holding the noodle bowl and cocking her legs, teasing without any image at all: "If the emperor dares to come, I will dare to go."

Li Zi suddenly felt aggrieved, blinked her small eyes that she didn't know why, and asked a little aggrieved: "Why?"

Xiliu bit his chopsticks and stretched out his hand to push his head, then giggled and replied: "If he comes to invite me, I will also go to ask for an official position, so I have to sneak around every time as if I can't do anything." It's the same with meeting people, if you keep the prince behind your back again and again, it's better to face the emperor openly; after getting an official position, the emperor can see me often, and the prince knows that I have a clean relationship with him, It's the best of both worlds!" Xiliu said as she put down the bowl, held a chopstick in one hand as if opening a fan, and suddenly laughed treacherously.

Lizi looked at his self-confidence that he didn't know where it came from, and she couldn't laugh or cry, so she could only say: "What the young master said recently, the prince has praised you, and you have improved a lot."

Xiliu was still flustered just now, when he heard what he said, he hit his hand with chopsticks, and said through gritted teeth, "I've always been good at both civil and military!" After speaking, looking at the quickly disappearing pork liver on the table, Cursed, "Damn, I'll save some for your master!"

Lizi rubbed her hands and looked at Xiliu now, she didn't know whether she should be relieved or worried, but... at least the food he cooked was really delicious.

What does it mean not to think it's a big deal, and the slap in the face is probably Xiliu and Lizi early the next morning.

Xiliu tilted her head and looked suspiciously at the emperor's personal father-in-law appearing at the gate of the Manwang Mansion. It was still the familiar eight-carried sedan chair, and the goldware on it had not changed in any way. Xiliu turned her head to look at Lizi, heavily She patted him on the head, then pointed at his nose angrily, and didn't speak.

"Master Xiliu, the emperor has sent you into the palace." The father-in-law looked at Xiliu with a smile on his face, and said after bowing.

Xiliu let out a long sigh and said, "Is it because I have a traitor in the palace, or is the emperor just a good ear? I just mentioned it casually during dinner last night, and now you will automatically send it to your door?"

The father-in-law bowed in some embarrassment and said: "Old minister... I don't know what the young master said, I wanted to take the young master into the palace a few days ago, but the emperor is ill, so it has been delayed until today."

Xiliu nodded, smiled and said to her father-in-law, "What are you waiting for, let's go!"

The father-in-law was afraid that Xiliu would come back with the trick last time, but he had prepared a group of people who could fight, and now it seemed that none of them had a chance to play.

Seeing Xiliu and Butler Wu, Lizi and Ge Tianming explain a few words, he happily opened the curtain and sat in.

The father-in-law blinked several times, looked back at Lizi waving goodbye to him and asked, "Did your young master... take the happy medicine?"

Lizi shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile: "I don't know what I ate, but my brain is not good." The father-in-law could only smile to cover up his embarrassing expression.

When he arrived at the palace, Xiliu moved into Liuxu Palace again. Seeing the way the ladies and sisters bowed, she felt ashamed and said: "It would be great if the sisters were mine, I am not willing to let you do some rough and dirty work. I hold you all in the palm of my hand as treasures." As a result, the maids left blushing and didn't want to talk to him.

Seeing the backs of the maids leaving, Xiliu sat on the chair and touched her face with a smile and said, "Too handsome is also a sin, a sin, a sin~"
