Queen Xiaoxi

Chapter 396 Bighead Carp Tofu Soup

After finishing speaking, Wanxian sat quietly next to Kangxi and quietly accompanied Kangxi to fish.

Kangxi sat on the Taishi chair, staring at the lake, hoping that a big fish would take the bait soon.

Liang Jiugong stood next to Kangxi, wondering in his heart: "It was clear that fish were biting the bait soon, but now there are no fish biting the hook."

After two quarters of an hour, Kangxi's fishing rod still had no fish biting the hook.Kangxi also felt a little unhappy.If it were normal, Kangxi would be fishing by the lake, just for his own entertainment and leisurely enjoyment.But now, Wanxian was sitting next to Kangxi and saw that no fish had taken the bait for a long time.Moreover, Kangxi had just praised Haikou, and now Kangxi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Wanxian didn't notice anything. She quickly took a piece of fruit with a silver fork and fed it to Kangxi's mouth.

Kangxi took Wanxian's hand and used the fruit.

Wanxian put down the silver fork, stood up and came to Kangxi's side. She wiped the corners of Kangxi's mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Long live my Lord, don't be in a hurry. Those fish that don't bite the hook are unlucky fish. People They are all dead fish eyes, dead fish eyes are those dead fish that do not bite the hook.”

"Haha, what you said makes sense. Okay, just wait. If no fish bites the hook, I will send people to drain all the water in the lake. Fish out all the fish in the lake, please Everyone in the garden comes to eat fish." Kangxi was immediately amused by Wanxian's words, and said to Wanxian in a pleasant tone.

Listening to Kangxi's laughter, Liang Jiugong also breathed a sigh of relief.Liang Jiugong was afraid that Long live the Lord would get angry and take it out on his minions.

Wanxian nodded obediently and said: "Well, everything will be done according to your wishes, Long Live Lord."

Kangxi put down the fishing rod and touched Wanxian's little head.

Wanxian waited for Kangxi to finish touching his head, then walked to the lake and cursed at the lake: "Tell you fish, if you take the bait, it's fine. But if you don't take the bait, don't blame me. Long live the Lord, I will fish you all out and eat you. Humph."

Wanxian's operation shocked the masters and slaves present and stunned them.

Especially Kangxi, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "After all, I didn't hurt the little girl in vain."

After Wanxian finished scolding, she walked back to Kangxi and said, "Long live my lord, don't worry. I have already scolded those unlucky fish for you. After a while, some fish will definitely bite the hook."

"Okay, after you scold me like this, a fish with long eyes will definitely take the bait. I will lead by example and make sweet and sour fish for you to taste. Hahahaha, hahahaha." As soon as Kangxi said this, he couldn't help laughing. laughed.

"Long live my Lord, you are laughing at me. Who are you for?"

Seeing Kangxi laughing, Wanxian stamped her feet unhappy.

Kangxi quickly pulled Wanxian to sit down and said, "Okay, I know you are doing it for my own good. Be good and be good, and I will definitely catch a fish suitable for making sweet and sour food for you today."

"Okay." Wanxian picked up the "Butterfly Picture" fan placed on the table and fanned herself.

As Kangxi spoke, he sat back on his Taishi chair and raised the fishing rod leaning on the Taishi chair.

It's a coincidence.As soon as Kangxi picked up the fishing rod, the fishing rod sank.

Liang Jiugong had sharp eyes and immediately reminded Kangxi: "Long live Lord Qi, the fishing rod has moved."

Wanxian also stopped fanning and stared straight at the fishing line on the lake.

Hearing this, Kangxi immediately picked up the fishing rod.I saw a big carp biting the fishing rod and jumped out of the lake.

Wanxian proudly said to Kangxi: "Long live Lord, you see, it's all thanks to my slave."

"Yes, yes, thanks to our empress's golden words." Kangxi coaxed to Wanxian skillfully, and then waved his hand to signal the slaves to step forward and remove the carp.

Kangxi looked at the carp brought up by the young eunuch and said to Liang Jiugong: "Liang Jiugong, where is the imperial chef I asked you to arrange? Why aren't you here yet?"

Liang Jiugong quickly apologized and said: "It's my fault. I'll go and urge you again." Liang Jiugong said and assigned a little eunuch to run errands towards the imperial dining room.

But not even half a quarter of an hour later, two young eunuchs running errands led two middle-aged people serving in the imperial kitchen and three young eunuchs working in the imperial dining room came forward to say hello.

Upon seeing this, Kangxi told Liang Jiugong: "Go down and make the arrangements. This carp will make a sweet and sour carp for the empress."

"Hey, I'm leaving." Liang Jiugong quickly led the imperial chef back to the shore three feet away, where a fire had already been set up with stones.

Kangxi stood up and swung the fishing rod with the bait onto the lake surface again. The fishhook followed the fishing line and sank to the bottom of the lake.Wanxian saw that Kangxi was serious about fishing, so she didn't bother him.He got up with his fan and walked to the royal chef who was killing fish and cooking.

Qiaoguo and Yunxia did not dare to stop them. One supported Wanxian and the other followed Wanxian with a parasol.

Seeing Wanxian coming, the two royal chefs and several little eunuchs who were doing odd jobs quickly stopped what they were doing and saluted Wanxian to say hello.

Wanxian waved her fan and said, "You don't have to worry about me, just go about your work."

It was approaching noon, and the imperial chefs did not dare to delay the masters' lunch, as that would be the biggest sin.The two royal chefs cooperated with each other and quickly prepared delicious dishes.

After watching for a while, Wanxian returned to Kangxi's side and watched Kangxi fishing intently.

……

At this time, the fifth elder brother Yinqi came to Qingxi Bookstore to ask for an audience with Kangxi about Mulan Qiumi.

They happened to meet Chen Tingjing and Zhang Tingyu who were about to report something important.

After the three of them greeted each other, they walked to Qingxi Bookstore together.

Zhang Tingyu quickly stepped forward and asked the young eunuch on duty to come in and report.

The little eunuch hurriedly sent a message inside, and then he saw Zhao Sanxi leading the little eunuch who came in to deliver the message and came out.

I saw Zhao Sanxi clasping his fists at the three of them and saying, "I would like to send my greetings to the fifth elder brother, and to Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang. Good luck to you, my dear brother."

"Get up. Zhao Sanxi, but Huang Ama has summoned us." Fifth elder brother Yinqi said politely to Zhao Sanxi.

Zhao Sanxi replied with a troubled face: "Fifth brother, two adults, it is an unlucky time for the three of you to come. Long live the Lord is not here, and is currently fishing at Guanlan Pavilion."

"Oh, Long Live Lord, you are really in good spirits." Chen Tingjing was a veteran of both Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, and had always been deeply trusted by Kangxi.

"Since the world is at peace these days, it's great that Long Live Lord is interested." Zhang Tingyu explained respectfully to Chen Tingjing.

Fifth elder brother Yinqi was thinking about Mulan Qiumi, so he told Zhao Sanxi: "In that case, I will go to Guanlan Pavilion to pay my respects to Emperor Ama."

"Hey." Zhao Sanxi originally wanted to stop fifth elder brother Yinqi, after all, Kangxi was not the only one in Guanlan Pavilion.But seeing that the fifth elder brother Yinqi had spoken, Zhao Sanxi, a slave, couldn't stop him.

"Master Chen and Master Zhang, do you want to go together?" Yinqi turned to Chen Tingjing and Zhang Tingyu and asked.

Chen Tingjing stroked his beard and said with a smile: "In that case, I will follow Prince Heng for a while."

Zhang Tingyu felt a little hesitant.Zhang Tingyu is a smart man. He looked at it coldly and understood that it must be the long live master who took his beloved concubine to Guanlan Pavilion to have fun at this time.It's about time.It would not be good if he followed Prince Heng and Master Chen and disturbed Lord Long Live's interest.

Therefore, Zhang Tingyu clasped his fists at the fifth elder brother Yinzhi and Chen Tingjing, and said goodbye: "Prince Heng, Lord Chen, I think of an unfinished errand. I'd better go back and finish the errand first, and then report it to Long Live Lord together." . In this way, I will take my leave."

Yinqi nodded and said, "In that case, Master Zhang, let's go do some errands first."

"Come on, I'll excuse you." Zhang Tingyu said, took a few steps back, then turned around and left unceremoniously.

The fifth elder brother, Yinqi, said respectfully to Chen Tingjing: "Master Chen, Guanlan Pavilion is not far from here. I will help you go with me." Chen Tingjing was born in the third year of Chongde and is 73 years old this year.

"Then there is Prince Lao Heng." Chen Tingjing originally wanted to refuse, but he was old and lost the strength to walk a few steps.

Fifth elder brother Yinqi hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Tingjing and walked to Guanlan Pavilion.

When he arrived at the door of Guanlan Pavilion, Chen Tingjing sniffed and said to the fifth elder brother Yinzhi with a smile: "Long live the Lord, you are really in a good mood. Now you have stewed bighead carp and tofu soup."

"Mr. Chen, you have a good sense of smell." Although Yinqi was a little speechless in his heart, he still said politely.
