Yuan Erhai had been sent by his master to serve Xirui for some time, so he naturally knew some things.

Just as Xirui valued him, he was an honest child, hardworking and quiet.

He is a good candidate who can accomplish something.

"I understand everything. From now on, I will study hard and practice diligently under the guidance of my master, and I will definitely achieve the princess's wish." With the experience just now, Yuan Erhai restrained his actions this time.

Standing still showed Xirui his determination.

Jobs in the palace have always been assigned to specific positions, and only a very rare opportunity that slips through the fingers of those above can fall on this group of people.

Therefore, Yuan Erhai cherishes this opportunity very much.

After leaving Xirui, he went straight into the small kitchen.

He didn't care whether his master had returned or not and just started practicing on his own.

Even the lack of raw materials could not stop him from moving forward.

I saw him just pick up other dishes and start trying them.

Of course, Xirui doesn’t care much about these follow-ups.

She has now been caught by her mother and brought to the main hall, and she probably won't be able to escape for a while.

"Mother has always asked Yuan Fuhai to keep an eye on things outside. After receiving the dishes you sent, people from all over the palace were full of praise. Your royal mama even asked Yunshu to bring back a lot of rewards." The mother and daughter sat opposite each other. After the imperial concubine finished speaking, she happily picked up another piece of food for Xirui with her chopsticks.

What they valued was naturally not this little reward, but the attitude of the Empress Dowager and the various palaces.

With the Queen Mother taking the lead, no matter what the people behind her thought in their hearts, at least they didn't dare to say anything on the surface.

The imperial concubine doesn't ask for much, this is enough.

"As long as the Royal Mother is happy, when the corn grows again, your daughter will make delicious food for you." Xirui was also very happy.

It feels incredibly good when other people also appreciate the things you like.

It made her feel that all the energy she had spent before was not in vain.

It is also because of the series of positive feedback they gave that Xirui is full of expectations for the two varieties that have not yet matured.

Judging from the days, the next thing to mature should be potatoes.

The seeds were sown in February and March, and it is already May now. I estimate that they should be almost ripe in a month or so, right?

Xirui was so engrossed in her calculations that the imperial concubine called her three or four times in a row, but she didn't even look at her.

It was not until Qingque couldn't bear it anymore and poked her gently in the back that she came back to her senses.

"Why is mother looking at me? Is there something on Xiaoqi's face?" Xirui was completely confused. He put down his chopsticks and used both hands to touch his face left and right.

"There's nothing?" After confirming that there was no food on her face, Xirui felt even more puzzled.

When he looked at his mother again, his eyes were naturally filled with innocence and confusion.

The imperial concubine's serious face finally broke down and she burst into laughter with a "puchi".

The servants around had been patient for a long time, but when they saw this, they also started laughing.

Everyone knew what had happened, except Xirui who was still confused.

I don't understand what they are laughing at behind my back.

"Mother~" It was not a pleasant feeling to be treated as a joke without knowing it at all. Xirui looked directly at his mother and scolded her with dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, mother, don't laugh, don't laugh anymore." In order to prevent her daughter from getting really angry and embarrassed, the imperial concubine knew when to stop.

As if to please her, she picked up some of Xirui's favorite dishes and said, "Don't be angry, Xiaoqi. Be careful or you'll have a stomachache again."

The stomach is very delicate. If you eat while angry, you might eat the air into your stomach.

The imperial concubine didn't want to summon the imperial physician three times a day, so she had to persuade her daughter to calm down.

"Hmph~" Xirui raised his chin slightly and snorted, fully demonstrating his attitude, but he did not say whether he accepted his mother's flattery.

Seeing that she seemed to be unreasonable, the imperial concubine did not intend to indulge her.

After picking up a piece of food for her with chopsticks, he stopped paying attention and said, "Who told you to be distracted just now? Your mother called you so many times but you didn't hear her."

Do you still have the nerve to hum with her now?

She's not angry yet!

"Hehe~" Seeing that the situation was not right, Xirui immediately restrained his emotions and smiled, "Mother, you are wrongly accusing Xiaoqi by saying this."

What is the highest level of putting the blame on someone else?

That's it.

Xirui relied on the fact that his mother would not really hold it against him, and after several twists and turns, he put the blame back on his mother.

This made the imperial concubine unable to do anything but laugh helplessly.

……

The mother and daughter finished the dinner in harmony. The atmosphere here was much better than that in the Qianqing Palace.

Xirui had her mother taking care of her, and her stomach was spared from damage.

It’s just a pity that Kangxi was a lonely man. Not only was he full of anger, but he also felt discomfort in his stomach before he even finished his meal.

Liang Jiugong was so anxious that he thought someone had poisoned the food and almost summoned the guards to go around to arrest the person.

"Stop!" Kangxi shouted, holding his stomach tightly, his tone firm and unquestionable.

Liang Jiugong was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. Although he stopped, he still didn't turn around completely.

"Your Majesty, you can't joke with your own body." Even if he didn't summon the imperial guards to protect him, he had to summon the imperial physician to take a look first.

Kangxi waved his hand weakly and called the person back.

"Don't go anywhere, I just need to take it easy." He could roughly feel what was wrong with him, and didn't want to make a big fuss and call the imperial physician for a check-up.

It only caused suspicion everywhere.

Kangxi's eyes swept across the table and finally chose the bowl of corn and pork ribs soup.

After a few sips of warm soup, my stomach felt much better.

He wouldn't have to keep suppressing her harshly.

After a few seconds, when he felt the stinging pain in his stomach gradually disappear, Kangxi slowly straightened his back.

The angle gradually widened and then slowly leaned back.

Afraid that his stomach would be stretched if he moved too much, he could only test it carefully step by step.

"Huh~" When he finally leaned back in his chair, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

My palms were sweaty from pinching.

"Go to the Imperial Observatory in person later and ask them to calculate a few suitable days for travel and submit them to you as soon as possible." The more he tried to hold it in, the angrier he got. Kangxi felt that only by getting rid of Yinreng as soon as possible could he finally get some relief.

Otherwise, who knows how many times this situation where he gets so angry that his stomach hurts halfway through a meal will happen again.

Liang Jiugong hesitated for a while, until he confirmed again and again that Kangxi was extremely serious at the moment, then he finally sighed silently and left.
