The two maids brought the skinny horses directly to the butler, and after telling him what the princess had instructed them to do, they left the two skinny horses behind and ran away.

It is no secret in the capital that the prince does not like other women around him, and even if they are servants in the mansion, they dare not act rashly.

Not wanting to see the prince's scary face, he just handed the hot and thin horse to the butler and ran away. It was safer with the princess.

The housekeeper's head is full of black marks.

He did not dare to anger the princess and send the people back, so he gritted his teeth and sent the two skinny horses back to the prince as the princess wished.

The prince didn't know that the words on the plaque he had just written were stained with ink because of the two skinny horses he sent back, and the storm in his heart had already turned into a small whirlwind.

The butler did not dare to look at the prince. He could feel the temperature around him getting lower as he got closer. He gritted his teeth and imitated what the two old women who brought the skinny horses said.

"The princess said that she is not feeling well and has no time to deal with this mess."

The butler also wanted to imitate the two old women and run away, but he didn't dare to do so in front of the prince.

"presumptuous!"

The butler was so frightened that he fell to his knees.

The two skinny horses also knelt down, shivering.

They were wearing very little and were standing in the cold wind. Now they were also suffering from the prince's wrath. They were so scared that they almost cried, but they didn't dare to, for fear that the evil god Xiaoyao King would be unhappy and kill them.

"These two actually stained my words, drag them away and lock them up!"

The butler thought he had misheard, but when he saw that the prince had no more instructions, he quickly got up, called two people over, and took the two skinny horses away and locked them up.

It's also his own fault. Why did he send these two people to the prince?

It should be dealt with secretly. Even facing the wrath of the Queen Mother is better than the wrath of the prince!

He swore that he would never recruit anyone on his own initiative again.

Even if it’s granted by the emperor, it won’t work!

He is old and really can't stand such a shock. If it happens twice more, he will go straight to see the King of Hell.

The two skinny horses were just about to cry and beg the prince to calm down. They hadn't done anything yet, so what had they done wrong?

Why do you treat them like this?

Before coming, they both had everything planned out. Since the prince already had a princess, it meant that his aloofness from women had been broken.

The two of them came here in a hurry, ready to show their talents, but they went through all kinds of schemes and tactics of seduction in their heads countless times, but not only did they not use any of them, but now they were directly banished to the cold palace?

It's not right to call them the cold palace. They have never been looked at properly. The prince probably doesn't even know what they look like. The term "cold palace" is not worthy of their use.

He should have been locked up in the woodshed.

In fact, these two skinny horses were indeed locked up in the woodshed.

Except for the lack of firewood, this place is just like a woodshed, completely empty.

The butler was kind-hearted after all, because the masters did not give the order to stab the two men to death, and he did not dare to freeze them to death first, so he kindly threw a quilt on them.

If these two people were still unlucky enough to freeze to death, it only meant that they were unlucky and had nothing to do with him.

The butler is good at making good connections.

No one disturbed Qin Zhongyue, and the work at hand went much more smoothly.

At the end of the day, with the help of four maids, she basically just had to talk and use some important technical skills at the last minute.

It is easy to make two hundred Yangrong pills and two hundred cans of whitening water in a day.

But when it was time to can them, she was dumbfounded. She didn't have any bamboo tubes and she had forgotten about them. What should she do?

"what happened?"

When Xiao Jingyi came over with the newly made door plaque, he saw Qin Zhongyue looking worried. Could it be that he regretted sending those two skinny horses back to him for disposal?

Are you afraid that he really has something going on with those two, so you put on a sour face when you see him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi felt inexplicably happy.

Qin Zhongyue didn't get his point at all, but when she saw him, a light bulb suddenly lit up in her head, and she looked at him with bright eyes and asked.

"You'll give me a farm full of flowers, right?"

"Um?

Is there anything wrong with the farm?"

As Xiao Jingyi was speaking, the housekeeper had already brought a ladder and placed it on the top of the courtyard gate. He climbed up the stairs himself and hung up the door plaque he had made himself.

Qin Zhongyue was a little curious when she saw him like this, so she followed him out to see what he was doing. She saw that he hung a plaque on the gate of the courtyard, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

I didn't even look at the words on the door plaque.

She had chosen the courtyard without a gate plaque because she thought it was not the main courtyard and was not important. Her family was outsiders anyway, so they could just choose an inconspicuous place to live.

But she didn't expect that this guy would hang a plaque in this yard again, but she had already gotten used to living here, and it was impossible for her to move away.

"Is there any bamboo on the farm?"

“What do you want bamboo for?

This is the north, there is no bamboo.

The weather here is too cold, bamboo basically cannot survive and it is difficult to see bamboo.

Only some families who particularly love plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum will try to cultivate some, but most of them are small and thin, and there is almost no southern bamboo.

There are also bamboos in the gardens of some temples and officials' homes.

Well, there is also a bamboo garden in the Imperial Garden, and new bamboos have to be replaced every year because there are basically only a few left after a winter.

Those who survived are also very precious. If you want them, you can only transfer them from other places.

It’s not worth buying from them.”

When Xiao Jingyi just came over, he smelled the scent of shampoo, which was a floral scent. When he heard Qin Zhongyue asking about Zhuzi, he knew what she was here for, so he explained it in detail.

But he also felt that Qin Zhongyue was a little strange. It was not like she had not been to the capital before. She was a native of the capital before. Although she did not live in the wealthy circle of the capital, wasn’t the climate here the same?

Qin Zhongyue didn't realize this at first, but his mind suddenly seemed to explode.

Yes, this is the north, and there are almost no bamboos in the north.

It’s too late to plant now. If we buy it, the quantity required is so large, it would be a huge expense and a waste, just like Xiao Jingyi said.

If I buy it from other places now, it will take a lot of time to transport it back and forth, which is not cost-effective at all. It seems that I can only buy something like porcelain bottles instead.

She thought of finding a lid to cover the bucket of beauty water, and asked the maids to move it into her own storeroom, and even made a big box to lock it.

In fact, the beauty water in the box has been transferred to the space.

Although the weather is cold now, the shelf life of the beauty water is guaranteed if it is left outside, but she always feels uneasy about leaving it like that.

"Du Juan, go ask the housekeeper to come over."

Qin Zhongyue was not planning to find someone to make the bottles herself. This matter was naturally left to the housekeeper, who would bring the person to the palace and have them made according to her requirements. This was the style of a princess.

As for the shape, it is still the bamboo tube shape, but the real bamboo is replaced by ceramic.

To prevent counterfeiting, not only was the word Qin engraved on the bottom of the small pottery jar, but a simple Qin mark was also made on the bottom of the bottle, which was a fancy one.

She was sure that, except for those who had traveled through time, no one would know what the word Qin was. Even if someone wanted to forge it, there would definitely be deviations. She was too smart.

The shape of bamboo is easy to draw. Because it is used for beauties, it is made more beautifully. It is a thin bamboo tube with a waist shape, and the lid has two three-dimensional bamboo leaves for easy holding.

The other two characters "Qin" are also depicted in great detail, with markings on which is outside and which is inside.

When the housekeeper came, the painting was already completed.

Thinking of the Yangrong Pills, he also drew a small bamboo tube. On the lid of the small bamboo tube, there was only a bamboo leaf.

The bottle containing beauty water is three inches high and two inches thick, while the bottle containing Yangrong Pills is only a small bottle that is one and a half inches high and one inch thick.

A bottle contains ten pills, which is convenient for some people to carry with them and can also be put into a pocket.

There is no need to carry so much with you at one time, otherwise it will be wasted if something happens.

She was very thoughtful.

"Butler, please find a skilled potter to help me make these two small bottles. If he can't understand the pattern, bring him to me."

"Yes, old slave, let's do it now."

When the butler came with the piece of paper, he thought that the prince and the princess had quarreled over the two skinny horses and that they wanted him to come over to question him. He was so nervous along the way that he almost couldn't walk.

Fortunately, it was not that incident. He heaved a sigh of relief, took the blueprint and carefully put it in his arms, as if he had been reborn. He ran fast and hurriedly, and rode out on horseback to find the person.

I wish I could bring the person who knows how to make pottery to the princess right now.

At this time, Xiao Jingyi had asked the servants to prepare the food, and he and Qin Zhongyue were the only ones left in the room.

Qin Zhongyue saw that Xiao Jingyi was very considerate, so she gave him a friendly smile and sat down to eat. She was hungry after a busy day.

There were only two of them in the room, and neither of them ate or slept.

Xiao Jingyi put a piece of braised chicken wing into Qin Zhongyue's bowl. He found that Qin Zhongyue preferred to eat the middle part of the chicken wing.

"You don't have anything to say to me?"

Qin Zhongyue picked up a chicken wing and took a bite. To show her friendliness, she also picked up a chicken thigh for him. When he asked this, she didn't even look at him. She answered while eating, "What do you want me to tell you? What do you want me to tell you?

Those two skinny horses?"

Thinking of the two skinny horses, she swallowed the food in her mouth and said seriously: "You can't be unreasonable. I have already given in to this point. It's still you who has the final say on what you want to do..."

As Qin Zhongyue was talking, she noticed that Xiao Jingyi's expression was not right, and then she realized that this man seemed to be pretending to be a man who was not interested in women.

Then he thought that the two skinny horses were given by the Queen Mother, who clearly had no good intentions, so he would definitely not accept them.

"Well, even if you don't want to, you have to solve it yourself. I just escaped from the Queen Mother, you don't want me to go against her again, do you?

Isn't this courting death?

I want to live a few more years.”

As she spoke, she picked up another piece of crispy meat with her chopsticks. It tasted good, but not as crispy and delicious as the one her mother made.

Eh?

its not right!

Is there no dish called crispy pork in this era?

It was my mother who directed how to cook the crispy pork.

"What is this dish called?"

She pointed at the crispy meat and looked at Xiao Jingyi and asked.

"I don't know. It should be a new dish invented by the chefs. Is it not delicious?"

Xiao Jingyi's anger was interrupted by her, and he picked up a piece of crispy meat with chopsticks to taste it.

Crispy, salty and delicious.

Qin Zhongyue looked at the dishes on the table again. There were several dishes that should not be available in this era, but they were her favorites. There were also many that Xiao Jingyi liked to eat when he was at their house. She had an idea in her mind.

"Call the cook."

The maid waiting at the door heard Qin Zhongyue's instructions and immediately went to bring the cook over.

On the way here, the cook asked the maid what the princess wanted to call her for, but the maid didn't know, and the cook was very nervous all the way.

Everyone from top to bottom knew about the two skinny horses sent to the palace by the Queen Mother, and everyone was on high alert today.

How could a chef who had never been summoned not feel nervous?

He even thought about those two skinny guys looking for trouble and poisoning the food he cooked and was discovered.

The more I thought about it, the faster my heart beat. It was a very cold day and I was sweating all over.

Soon we arrived at Wangyue Garden.

That’s right, there is a plaque hanging on the courtyard where Qin Zhongyue lives now, and it is called Wangyue Garden.

“Who did you learn these dishes from?”

Qin Zhongyue saw that the chef was a middle-aged man, fat and looked like a chef.

"My dear Princess, this is what the old lady taught me when she came to your house to make soup for you."

Xiao Jingyi also understood and was very touched. He thought his mother-in-law was very thoughtful because half of these dishes were also his favorites.

Not to mention the old dishes he usually likes to eat, those new dishes are what he liked to eat when he was at the Qin family, and only the Qin family can cook them.

People are all made of flesh and blood, they can feel when someone is nice to them.

I decided to visit Qin's house more often when I have time.

He also heard that someone caused trouble at the Qin family two days ago. It seemed that he didn't go there often.

Xiao Jingyi also knew that he had a nickname of "Evil God" in the capital, so he behaved in a way that lived up to the nickname, otherwise he would have been given the nickname in vain.

"Okay, you can go down. Although you did a good job, there is still room for improvement."

"Yes!"

The cook heaved a sigh of relief and left. After returning, he continued to study the dishes until midnight.

After the people left, Qin Zhongyue saw Xiao Jingyi's expression and knew that he had achieved his goal.

This guy should be touched and forget about the skinny horse, right?

Please, she really doesn't want to get involved in house fighting.

Then I remembered that there was another important thing that I hadn't told Xiao Jingyi yet, so I changed the subject.

"By the way, the mansion will host a banquet for some people the day after tomorrow. They are all people I met on the road when I came back from Lingzhu. They are all from Beijing.

There are two families you know, namely Mr. and Mrs. Li Hong who live in front of our house, and Mr. and Mrs. Fang Weichen. Do you remember them?

Most of them were once my patients. Will you be home the day after tomorrow?"

Qin Zhongyue is already 80% full after eating so much vegetables. Just scoop a bowl of soup to fill your stomach. You can't eat too much at night.

"Do you want me to be home, or do you want me to be away from home?"

Xiao Jingyi did not give a direct answer, but asked a question in return. He also handed his bowl to her and asked her to get a bowl of soup for him as well.

Qin Zhongyue took his bowl and served him a bowl of nourishing soup.

It's obvious that this tonic soup is made for him. It would be a waste if he doesn't eat it.

"I can do it."

Qin Zhongyue said as he scooped the soup.

Whether he is there or not has nothing to do with her. If he is there, at most she will act like a loving couple with him, but he won't beat or scold her.

If she is not around, she can make her own decisions more freely.

Xiao Jingyi...

After drinking this bowl of soup, will he be able to sleep at night?

Could it be that this woman is still thinking about those two skinny horses?

After hearing her answer, I suddenly lost my appetite and didn't even drink the soup.

"I have something else to do. I'll be back later."

Xiao Jingyi said one sentence and left, without saying whether he would be there the day after tomorrow.

Qin Zhongyue saw that he seemed a little angry and wondered if this man was having his period.

She was too lazy to care. After drinking her soup, she called Dujuan and the others to take the uneaten dishes away to share.
