Unparalleled Concubine

As soon as Li Xin took his seat, several people's eyes fell on him. These eyes looked at Li Xin unscrupulously, and they were all thinking about the origin of this ordinary-looking young man in cotton clothes.

After pinching a few pieces of cakes on the table, a beautiful maid came out gracefully, smiled at the young people in the warm pavilion, and said, "My lords, my lord recently got a unique method of roasting meat. The meat is tender and refreshing, and today I specially invite you all to come and taste it."

After finishing speaking, the maid clapped her hands lightly, and one by one maids came in from the door of the Nuan Pavilion. These maids were holding a charcoal basin in their hands, and the basin was filled with red-hot bamboo charcoal.

More than a dozen carbon basins were placed on more than a dozen low tables.

After the charcoal basin was put down, more than a dozen servant girls came in and placed plates of meat skewers in front of everyone.

The maid who played the role of "host" smiled and said: "This is the method my lord recently came up with. The mutton is skewered and cooked on bamboo charcoal. It has a special taste. You may as well try it."

Li Xin was speechless.

The Seventh Prince really had some ideas, and actually asked them to form a group to grill skewers.

He shook his head. He was about to grill two skewers for himself to taste, but when he turned around, he found that the maid who brought him the skewers did not leave, but sat directly beside him, smiling sweetly at him.

"Young Master Li, let's meet again."

Chapter 35 The Routine of the Wei Palace

There has always been no reason for these nobles to do it themselves at noble gatherings. Just now Li Xin was wondering why the Wei Palace would allow these people to cook skewers by themselves. Understood.

Li Xin blinked at the maid, and smiled wryly: "Miss Nine."

This maid was Xiaojiu who visited his house with the Seventh Prince yesterday. She hadn't seen her for a day. This Xiaojiu changed her hairstyle and put on the maid's clothes of Prince Wei's residence. Li Xin didn't notice her for a while.

Judging from yesterday's situation, Xiao Jiu's identity should not be simple, at least not as simple as the seventh prince's maid.

Xiao Jiu blinked at Li Xin, and said seriously: "Mr. Li, after I came back with...His Royal Highness yesterday, I asked the people in the house to fry some chicken legs according to the method you wrote, but there was no such thing as you. It turned out so delicious.”

Eating was originally a very light topic, but Li Xin was not used to the serious look of this little girl.

Miss Xiaojiu pointed to the mutton skewers on the table, and said solemnly: "So I just want to try, is the mutton skewers you made different from the ones in Wei Wang's mansion."

At this time, Miss Xiaojiu had a very serious expression and a very serious tone, as if what she was talking to Li Xin was not about food, but an important family matter that could determine the lives of thousands of people.

Li Xin looked at this girl speechlessly.

He is also a foodie who loves to eat, otherwise he would not have learned to make so many snacks, but his level of foodie is obviously lower than that of the nine girls in front of him by more than one level.

Finally, Li Xin succumbed under the almost pious eyes of Miss Nine. He picked up the mutton skewers on the low table, poured some sesame oil on the king meat skewers, and started tossing them on the charcoal fire.

Li Xin coughed and said softly: "Miss Nine, turn the skewers around a bit when grilling. You must master the roasting time. It must not be uncooked, and it must not be too long. Long roasting time will affect the taste..."

While he was grilling the meat, he was talking about some general points to Miss Jiu who was next to him. Miss Jiu listened attentively and nodded from time to time.

Not long after, Li Xin made two or three skewers and placed them next to Miss Nine. The girl was not polite, she picked up one and put it in her mouth.

"good to eat."

The little girl with a mouth full of oil gave her sincere praise.

Li Xin smiled slightly, made three more skewers and put them on the charcoal fire.

On the low table next to him, a gentleman in a red brocade coat was clumsily grilling mutton kebabs. While grilling, he glanced towards Li Xin, and suddenly saw a beautiful little girl sitting beside Li Xin. But there was no one around me, so I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and said: "My friend, this is the maid of Wei Wangfu, do you have any ideas?"

Li Xin turned his head, nodded to the noble young master, and then said with a light smile, "It's just a few skewers of barbecued meat, I dare not have any thoughts."

It's a joke, this foodie girl is very likely to be the princess of the current dynasty, of course Li Xin dare not have any thoughts, among other things, his status as an illegitimate child, or his status as a commoner, does not deserve to have any thoughts.

There was nothing unusual about that person at first, but after hearing Li Xin's southern accent, some mocking expressions appeared on his face.

"The Southern Barbarian...can also sneak into the Wei Palace?"

China has a long history of regional blackness. In the early days, the north and the south discriminated against each other. The southerners called the northerners Beiyi, and the northerners called the southern Nanman. This "fine tradition" was passed down from the Han Dynasty to later generations in another world. The modern era can be said to have a long history.

If Li Xin was really a southerner, then he might be very angry at this sentence of being a southerner, but he was actually a northerner in his previous life, and it is not appropriate to make enemies at this time, so he just smiled at this young man without saying a word.

The little girl at the side, however, took a fierce look at the noble young man in red, and said fiercely with a pure Beijing accent: "What did you say?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed angrily: "What's the matter, is a maid in the Wei Palace planning to stand up for others?"

If it was outside, with the lawless temper of this young man in red, he would have punched each other long ago, but this is in Wei Wangfu, he still kept the utmost restraint, and didn't want to make this matter a big deal.

Miss Jiu stood up from the low table, still holding the skewers in her hand, walked up to the young man in red, and kicked the low table in front of him without hesitation.

The charcoal basin on the low table suddenly fell to the ground, and the orange-red charcoal scattered sparks all over the ground. The little girl pinched her waist with both hands, and stared fiercely at the noble man in red brocade.

"You go, you are not welcome in the Wei Palace."

The young man in red was frightened and angry, and his face changed suddenly. He stood up from the cushion suddenly. He first glanced at the maid of the Wei Palace, and then looked viciously at the innocent Li Xin who was beside him.

"My son is Ye Mao, the grandson of Chen Guogong. You two, a Nanman and a maid of the Wei Palace, how dare you offend me?!"

Li Xin's eyes widened.

No, the one who offended you was this little girl, what does it have to do with me...

You scolded me and I didn't even talk back, okay?

Li Xin was about to explain, but Chen Guogong's son-in-law left the table angrily. When he walked to the door, he pointed at Li Xin and Xiao Jiu, and said angrily, "You two, dare to leave your name?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Before Li Xin could speak, Miss Xiaojiu held her head high and said loudly: "I am Xiaojiu from Wei Wangfu, and he is Li Xin from Datongfang. If you are capable, come and find us!"

Li Xin was stunned. He turned his head stiffly to look at Miss Jiu who was still pinching her waist, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Xiao Jiu, you have a strong background and are not afraid of these princes and grandchildren, but I am different. I am very afraid of you." Theirs..."

Miss Xiaojiu stretched out her hand to pull Li Xin's sleeve, and said with a smile on her face: "Mr. Li, don't worry, my prince is very powerful. I will tell him later and let him solve this matter for you. It will never hurt you." to yours."

As she spoke, she pulled Li Xin back to the low table, squinted her eyes and smiled and said, "Come on, let's continue to eat the barbecue. I have to say, Mr. Li, your craftsmanship is better than those in Wei Wang's mansion." There are too many, thanks to the prince who spent so much money to support them."

Li Xin's mind is a little dizzy now, he feels that there is something wrong with this matter, but he can't figure out what went wrong.

Everything seemed to make sense, but...

But what happened just now was too bloody.

While he was thinking wildly in a daze, he helped Miss Jiu continue to barbecue. While he was grilling in the Nuan Pavilion, the grandson of Chen Guogong who had left the Nuan Pavilion just now was bending slightly, standing in front of the Seventh Prince.

The grandson of Chen Guogong accompanied him with a smiling face, and he didn't see the slightest sign of anger.

"Your Highness, I followed your instructions and acted out this play."

His Royal Highness King Wei smiled and nodded, reached out and patted Ye Mao on the shoulder, and said softly: "You did a good job, but it's a pity that Xiao Jiu is too blunt. I don't know if I can fool this Li Xin..."
