The Duke's Wife is Beautiful But Has a Dark Heart. Chapter 176

 The prince was a little tired during the Chinese New Year.

Today, I went to the palace to accompany the emperor and lit a lamp, and then returned to the palace.

 The Queen didn't know what was going on, so she left the Crown Princess and the Grand Concubine behind.

The grandson came back with the prince and settled him in place.

 Thought for a moment and stepped into the backyard.

 This is his first time to visit the general's concubine.

As soon as I entered, I found that the courtyard was lit with several lamps of various colors, which made it bright.

 The doors and windows were open, and one could see that the house was bustling with activity. A charcoal stove was set up, and the copper pot above was steaming.

 What are you cooking?

Before I entered the house, I smelled a pleasant smell, which seemed to be southern wine, also called Shizi glutinous rice.

When a palace daughter saw him coming, she quickly saluted: "Concubine, your highness is here."

Jian Pingting saw the glutinous rice **** floating up, and when they were rolled again, they could be filled into bowls.

Why is he here? !

 It's still this time!

 I feel troubled. Stand up and say: "Your Highness!"

Taisun felt uncomfortable seeing her perfunctory attitude and lack of smile.

Whose house did he enter and everyone was so excited?

Even Xue Ying, no matter how angry she is, will get better as soon as she goes away.

This guy, why does his face smell so bad?

 “Well, let me take a look. What are you doing here?”

 “Cook glutinous rice balls.”

 “Why are you cooking it yourself and the kitchen didn't send it to you?”

 “This is brought in from outside and is raw. So cook it yourself!”

 “Nonsense! How can the food from outside be brought in so easily?”

"Yes. Pay attention next time!" Jiang Pingting said nonchalantly, but kept her eyes on the pot.

It's already cooked. If it's overcooked, it won't taste good.

“Your Highness, please sit down. Your Highness, the glutinous rice **** are ready. Do you want to try two?”

Taisun complained in his heart: Two? Just give me two? What a rarity! snort.

 “Okay, bring me a bowl…”

 Jiang Pingting was very angry.

Wen Yu asked Yan Zhu to bring a lamp and a box of glutinous rice balls, only twenty of them! Fortunately, there is still a can of glutinous rice.

 At this moment, she was halfway through cooking.

There are ten more, I want to cook them for breakfast tomorrow!

 Her appetite is quite good! These ten are considered her midnight snack after dinner...

 But he has already said…

 “Qiu'er, get another bowl for His Highness!”

Taisun seemed to sense a sense of disgust...

Qiu'er responded. She wasn't sure how much the empress planned to feed His Highness, so she handed the bowl directly to the empress.

At this moment, Jiang Pingting also figured it out!

If you want to eat, let that girl Zhuzhu do it! Don't be stingy now.

So she gave five of her grandsons, half for each person. Isn't it stingy?

 But it seemed like there was a little bit missing, so I added some more glutinous rice and gave it to the grandson.

The grandson received half the bowl in her hand, how generous she was!

Jian Pingting ignored him, scooped out the food on her own, and ate it happily.

Taisun didn't like it and threw one into his mouth. It was so hot...

Hurrying to catch it with a spoon, I glanced at it. Well, luckily no one saw it.

 Bite it open...it smells so good!

Black sesame? !

 The palace is accustomed to the northern Yuanxiao, which is tougher and stronger than this.

 And this one melts in your mouth, with the aroma of fermented glutinous rice wine. When you eat it, a wave of heat will come up along with the aroma.

Hmm, that's really good.

 Bite again, what is this?

 After tasting it carefully for a long time, it seems to be from peanuts.

 Another one, sour, hawthorn?

 Then this is...meat?

 “Is this meat?” he asked.

 Jiang Pingting said: "It's from salty ham! It's delicious!"

The grandson accidentally ate all the food and even drank the mash.

Holding the empty bowl, he watched Pingting chew her food carefully.

 “Any more?” he asked.

Jian Pingting didn't want to say anything, so she chewed it for a while and then swallowed it all. Seeing that her grandson was still waiting for her answer.

 “There are ten more.”

“Cook it all and I'll bring it to my father!”

"…" Jiang Pingting felt that he was shameless. Was it because he wanted to eat it?

 “You didn't mean that it was brought in from outside...”

 “I've tried it for my father, it's fine.”

　　"Will it get cold if you take it over? It's not good for the prince to eat these cold and sticky things."

"Bring the glutinous rice **** and that... rice wine, and find a palace maid who can cook to follow you! No, you can cook it yourself!"

　　　…”My breakfast was ruined, how can I still work? !

Jiang Pingting secretly hates her, why did she recruit him? !

So the grandson happily took the concubine to the prince's study in front.

When the prince saw them coming in, he asked and found out that she was the general's daughter.

 It was the Crown Princess who brought her into the house.

 Your Majesty and his son have caused great harm to the imperial court. It is not good for a general's daughter to become his son's concubine.

 But by the time he knew it, the plan was already finished. Therefore, the prince treated Pingting very gently.

 Pingting's skillful movements can be seen as someone who works regularly. The prince chatted with her for a while.

 Jiang Pingting said that when her grandfather and father were in office, sometimes she had to cook herself when there was not enough manpower.

He also talked about some of his experiences, and the prince and grandson listened with great interest.

After the glutinous rice **** were cooked, the grandson only allowed the prince to eat two. In the end, the prince grinded them for a while before giving him one more. If you can taste the smell of glutinous rice, the prince is already very beautiful!

Then when Jiang Pingting saw her grandson, she shamelessly ate all the rest...

 “Huh? Is there any jasmine flavor? I didn't eat it just now…”

Wen Yu and Yan Zhu held hands and looked around, extremely excited.

　　When there are many people, Qi Wu walks in front.

　　When there are few people, Qi Wu follows behind.

 Looking at the two girls, they looked like two happy birds. He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly...

 Passing through an intersection with crowds of people on all sides, Laba passed by with Yanzhu.

Before Wen Yu had time, a dozen people came from the right and pushed towards her.

Qi Wu took a step forward, put one hand on her shoulder, and held her small hand with the other to pull her back...

 The fragrant shoulders and jade hands were light and soft... He blushed for a moment.

 I feel like a fish is flapping in my heart...

This taste made him uncomfortable and happy...

Thinking to himself, this is the first time he has held a girl's hand. Of course, except for Xiao Yuanyuan...

 At this time, the man named Qin Lianyue...

　　Since he got engaged, he has already flown far away. At this moment, it disappeared without a trace.

　　　Seems like I never recognized it.

 Actually, not only was Qin Lianyue nowhere to be seen, she was also among the dozen or so people who just met Wen Yu!

Moreover, she has been looking for Qi Wu.

It's just that Qi Wu was wearing a mask, so she didn't recognize him.

Qi Wu could have seen her, but at that time, he was distracted by Wen Yu's fragrant shoulders and jade hands!

 I guess if the sky falls, you will only realize it later...

 So, they missed perfectly.

I don't know what will happen if I don't miss it...

Yang Xiangdong was more cautious and put on his hat. He holds a folding fan in his hand to shield his face when someone is around.

 He works very hard in school and work. So I have never been to such a lantern festival on weekdays. I didn't know that there would be so many people!

Webster's dress was not exposed, so no one paid much attention to her.

As I was walking, suddenly someone next to me said: "If I give you half an hour, you won't be able to guess it!"

Yang Xiangdong was startled when he heard this: This is his sister-in-law, Mrs. Li's son, and his wife's nephew!

“Who said that?! If you hadn't been around to cause trouble, I would have guessed it!” another person said.

 Several people came from behind him and walked forward.

Yang Xiangdong was so frightened that he ducked into the store next to him in just two steps.

Webster didn't pay attention and was still walking forward slowly.

The group of teenagers passed by her and smelled a strong fragrance. Some of the teenagers quietly looked at her and walked forward without stopping.

Yang Xiangdong peeked at a few people and saw that they were gone. He let out a breath and hurriedly came out because he was afraid that Wei Shi would be too worried.

 As a result, there was a boy selling masks on the side of the road...

ah? !

 This is a good thing!

 “How to sell masks?”

The boy smiled sincerely: "Fifty taels of silver each."

Yang Xiangdong had lost his ability to think. He took out his banknotes and chose one with a hundred dollars, "I want this one with the flower pendant, and this one."

The boy was originally selling them for one tael of silver each.

 Because the asking price is high, only two have been sold so far.

 But he still insists on the principle of whether to sell or not. Originally, it was just a matter of looking at the lamp and passing it on...

This kid is very thief. I just saw this man dodging. Although I don't know what he is hiding from, he must be...hehe...

 So, I opened my mouth and offered a sky-high price, waiting for him to counter-offer!

 As a result, Yang Xiangdong threw away the banknotes and took two of them.

Wei Xiangyu was saying: "I looked all the way, and it was just now..." He turned around and said, Huh? No one left?

Surprised, he stopped and saw Yang Xiangdong playing with something.

"doing what?"

"Ayu, look, isn't it interesting?! We both wear the same clothes, and each of us wears one, how fun it is!?"

 “Isn't it dirty?” Wei Xiangyu disliked it.

“It's not dirty, look! This seller is also clean and tidy. Put it on!”

 Wei Xiangyu also found it interesting, so the two of them put it on.

Yang Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief: God help me!

The guy selling the mask was so excited that he almost cried. As soon as they left, he ran away.

 This person is none other than Li Yuan.

 He came out to look at the lanterns. Along with others, he took out the masks and lamps made by the girls and sold them.

 Get rich, get rich!

 Go back and tell dad and Master Qing, tell the girl!

How they must praise me!
