Retirement in Qing Chuanwen

Rao is smart, but for a while, he couldn't figure out what was going on in Jinghao's mind. He recalled what he said just now, and he didn't think there was any problem, let alone There is nothing worthy of sympathy and pity.

But if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, because Kangxi found out, after Cong Jinghao treated him as a poor boy, he even spoke to him in a much softer tone.

"Why don't you stay and have dinner together tonight?" Jinghao invited Kangxi to have a meal.

"Don't bother so much," Kangxi said.

"What kind of trouble is this?" Jinghao said, "It's just an extra job for one person. Besides, thanks to your help today, otherwise we wouldn't know that there are so many skills in growing vegetables."

Jinghao had already talked about this, and Kangxi did not refuse.

Although he has eaten meals before, Kangxi has always paid attention to health preservation, and meals are only seven percent full at most, and it is also okay for He Jinghao to have another meal after working a lot just now.

"Do you have anything to eat?"

Jing looked at Kangxi, and Kangxi felt a little surprised when she asked this question, at least he knew that every time their family Baocheng came to Jingxiu Palace, he could eat whatever he wanted, but now Jinghao took the initiative to ask What does he want to eat.

"You decide." Kangxi didn't order without authorization, firstly because he was really not hungry, and secondly because he didn't know what ingredients were still in the kitchen of Jingxiu Palace, "I don't pick my mouth."

"That's fine, then I'll make the decision." Jinghao didn't force herself, after asking Kangxi about his personal food preferences, she decided on the menu for today's dinner——

Sweet and sour pork ribs, sai crab, shredded cabbage and pork ribs soup with carrot and lotus root cooked in the morning.

Jinghao usually eats with pomegranates when she eats, but today she went to make a pile with Xiao Chenzi.

There is no way, although Shiliu knows that Kangxi is a slave just like herself, but the slaves are also divided into grades, even though Shiliu doesn't know what position he holds beside the prince, but his aura has already bluffed Shiliu even to him. It's a bit unsteady to stand in front of him, let alone sit and eat with him.

If she had to set up a table to eat with others, then Shiliu would rather eat with Xiao Chenzi, at least she would be comfortable.

Shiliu talked about this part, so Jing Hao didn't force her, after serving all the food and soup on the table, Jing Hao smiled at Kangxi: "I kept you waiting for a long time, come and taste our Jingxiu Palace. How is the food?"

Kangxi glanced at the food served on the table. To be honest, the appearance was indeed not as exquisite as the imperial meal, but it did not lose the rural style. As for the taste...

Kangxi first tasted a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. The ribs wrapped in soy sauce red syrup were bitten down. The meat was tender enough, and the ratio of sweet and sour was just right. It tasted moderately sweet and sour, very appetizing.

The red and white shredded cabbage, which was cut into diced millet peppers as a side dish and stir-fried out of the pot, is very attractive. There is also a hint of spicy.

Especially when you accidentally bite it together with the diced millet pepper, the numbness and spicyness contained in the diced millet pepper will be released in your mouth at once, inexplicably arousing people's appetite.

The Sai Crab dish was even more fresh and innovative. Kangxi said with a smile after tasting it, "No wonder this dish is called Sai Crab."

Although this dish does not use a single crab, and the main ingredients are only yellow croaker and eggs, the taste of the dish is not crab, but it is better than crab.

The snow-white yellow croaker meat is "crab meat", and the golden eggs are "crab roe". After being fried with seasoning, the fish meat is delicious and the eggs are soft and tender, which is very delicious in the mouth.

Finally, drink a bowl of carrot, lotus root and pork ribs soup with a clear and sweet taste. The simple three dishes and one soup are satisfying.

Obviously Kangxi has always paid great attention to health preservation, but after arriving at Jingxiu Palace, he unknowingly fed himself up.

Kangxi: "..."

This is a bit embarrassing.

"Come on, let's have a sip of tea to relieve the tiredness." Jinghao didn't know Kangxi's embarrassment, because her workload increased today, and her appetite also increased.

So don't say she didn't notice Kangxi's embarrassment, even if she did, she still felt that the relationship between them was the eldest brother, don't laugh at the second brother.

"It's not a good tea either, you just make do with it." Jing Hao is more particular about eating, but more about drinking it.

Well, it might be because she hasn't had any good tea, so she thinks it's okay even if it's ordinary green tea. With a light tea fragrance and a refreshing taste, Jing Hao feels that a cup of tea can meet these two requirements. OK.

Kangxi also likes to drink green tea, but the green tea here is Jinghao. It can be said to be the same as the Longjing he usually drinks, but...

Kangxi glanced at Jinghao, and saw that she took a sip from the teacup without disdain, and asked her, "Do you like green tea?"

"Yeah." Jinghao nodded, she thought that Kangxi was just asking casually, but she didn't expect that someone would send gifts to their Jingxiu Palace the next morning.

"This is?" Jing Hao looked at the two little eunuchs who came to give gifts, with a confused expression on her face.

If she hadn't been sidelined, then it wouldn't be surprising if someone came to give her a gift, after all, no matter how low a concubine is, she also has normal interpersonal relationships.

But she has been thrown into the cold palace now, even though the original owner had a concubine who had a close relationship with her before, but since she came to Jingxiu Palace, she has never been in contact with her again.

It is human nature to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, the original owner does not blame the other party, Jing Hao naturally does not blame her, but she is really curious, under such circumstances, who will give her a gift?

Although the situation in Jingxiu Palace has improved a lot since she came, and even because of the protection of the little prince, their good life has been improved to a higher level.

But this was all done in private. On the surface, Jingxiu Palace is still a cold palace, and she is still a useless concubine who was thrown into the cold palace.

"To my lord, this is Longjing and a basket of hairy crabs." The little eunuch holding a porcelain pot in his hand replied aloud. He and the other little eunuch treated Jing Hao respectfully and didn't look at it at all. When they came out, they were servants in the most honorable place in the palace—the Qianqing Palace.

It is said that the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister are also slaves, and the slaves of Qianqing Palace are naturally much better than the slaves of other palaces.

If they just sent over a basket of hairy crabs, maybe Jinghao would have guessed whether it was the work of the little prince, but when she heard Longjing, she couldn't help but think of Kangxi.

He just asked her yesterday if she likes to drink green tea, and today someone sent her a copy of Longjing, which made it hard for Jinghao not to connect the two.

That's what she thought in her heart, and Jing Hao asked the same question: "Did He Qing ask you to send it?"

Heqing is Kangxi's pseudonym, which means Haiyan Heqing.

The two little eunuchs who came to give gifts were naturally told before they came, so when Jing Hao asked this question, they nodded in agreement.

"Then trouble you to say thank you to him for me, I have accepted the things." Jing Hao couldn't let them move these things back, mainly walking in the palace, the two of them held porcelain pots in each hand, One is carrying a basket of hairy crabs, which is easy to attract attention wherever he goes.

"That's right." After Jinghao asked Shiliu and Xiao Chenzi to take the things, she said to the two little eunuchs, "Wait a minute, I have something to ask you to bring to He Qing for me."

"Young master, don't be in a hurry, the slave will just wait."

Jinghao doesn't know Kangxi's identity, how can these two little eunuchs not know?

Although they don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Long Live Lord, they just need to know that Long Live Lord values ​​this Dai promise.

Although they didn't come to Jingxiu Palace today to give silk, gold, silver and jewellery, but to make Long Live Lord remember to give her a bite of food and a drink, that's not something that ordinary people can do.

Jinghao didn't know what the two little eunuchs were thinking, she was sorry to make people wait too long, she hurried back to her room and wrote an invitation to Kangxi, inviting him to enjoy the moon together during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days, Jing Hao didn't intend to invite anyone else, so the three of them were lively and lively in Jingxiu Palace, just to celebrate the festival.

But because Kangxi sent someone to bring her a gift today, thinking that his relatives are all outside the palace and he is alone in the palace, he might feel homesick on a reunion day like Mid-Autumn Festival.

Didn't Wang Wei say it all?Every festive season, she misses her dearly, so Jing Hao feels that although she is limited by her status, she can't give her good-looking brother a home, but in this special festival, she can accompany him to be homesick~

After writing an invitation for Kangxi, Jinghao asked Shiliu to go to the kitchen to make a pair of mooncakes for each of the two young eunuchs, and then gave them the invitation.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in just two days. Be careful and treat it as a gift for your holiday." Jinghao admitted that she is really cash-strapped now. If she wants to reward her directly with money, she will not be able to give more. From the beginning, it is better not to give less.

It just so happened that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming, and she and Pomegranate had figured out mooncakes again, so it was obviously the best way to give mooncakes to others.

"This..." The two little eunuchs naturally understood what happened to Jinghao. If she offered money, they would reject everything they said, but if she offered food...

"The servants will be disrespectful." The two young eunuchs said to Jinghao after accepting the mooncakes, "My lord, don't worry, this invitation will be delivered to you."

"That's annoying."

After seeing off the two little eunuchs, Jinghao took the pomegranate and ran to see the basket of hairy crabs. As the saying goes, the crabs' feet itch when the autumn wind blows, and autumn is a good season to eat crabs.

A few days ago, Jing Hao wanted to eat crabs, otherwise she would not have pulled the pomegranate to make Sai crabs.

Although this dish is indeed delicious, there is still a difference between real crabs and fake crabs, and the result was never expected——

She wanted to eat it a few days ago, and Kangxi sent a basket of hairy crabs over today!

Think of the fat crab roe, delicious crab meat...

Suck.

The quiet saliva is about to flow out.

"We will eat this hairy crab today!"

The hairy crabs that are in season don't need any complicated procedures. After cleaning, they only need to be steamed.

After the hairy crabs were on the table, Jing Hao couldn’t wait to eat after washing her hands. After taking off the crab shell, she broke it open and saw a full of orange-yellow crab paste. Jing Hao took a bite and her mouth was full of crabs The aroma of the oil is simply not too satisfying.

After the mellow and sweet crab meat is dipped in the specially prepared ginger vinegar sauce, the meat is tender and delicious, and it is simply delicious.

Especially when eaten with shredded ginger, the taste is crisp and spicy, making the snow-white crab meat seem to be dyed fiery red.

"It would be even better if I can have a glass of rice wine at this time." Jinghao thinks that not only dumplings but wine, the more you eat, the more delicious you are, and the more you eat the crab with wine, the more delicious you are.

……

The invitation was sent to Kangxi, but Jinghao was not sure whether he would come on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. After all, everyone who worked in the palace couldn't help themselves.

Seeing the time passing by every minute and every second, Kangxi never came, so Jinghao didn't wait.

Although with Pomegranate and Xiao Chenzi as companions, Jinghao's first Mid-Autumn Festival in Daqing was not too deserted, but she was inevitably a little melancholy and disappointed.

The melancholy thing is that she knows very well in her heart that she will never go back for the rest of her life. Although she is a child of a divorced family in modern times, she also has her own relatives and friends.

After coming to Daqing, she will never be able to see them again in her life. If Jing Hao said something that she didn't want at all, it would be a lie, even her heartless scumbag father would think about it a little bit.

As for the disappointment, of course Kangxi didn't come. Jing took a look at the mooncakes that she specially learned from pomegranate. She originally wanted to invite Kangxi to eat, but now she didn't even see his people...

"Okay, he's not lucky." Jinghao put away the mooncakes, and when she was about to go back to her room to rest, Kangxi came.

Today, Kangxi was still wearing stone blue clothes. When he walked towards her slowly under the moonlight, he was handsome and tall, with an unspeakable charm.

He walked up to her, stood still, and said—

"I'm here for an appointment."
