Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 72 See King Xuan
No matter how Tianxiang thinks about it, she feels that she seems to have no friendship with this Xia Yixuan. What purpose does he have in Duke Qi's mansion suddenly at this moment?In particular, he looked familiar, as if he was so familiar with Tianxiang, that he had the audacity to sit at the dinner table and want to eat together!
"Since His Royal Highness Xuan doesn't dislike the rough food in the Duke's Mansion, I will order someone to remove this table of food and replace it with another table for you!" Tianxiang's thoughts are fleeting in a flash. .Then he looked at Liu Nian and ordered: "You go and remove these meals, and also order the kitchen to prepare more special dishes, and you must not neglect His Royal Highness Xuan Wang!"

"Yes, I'll save it for you servant!" After all, Liu Nian was smart, and immediately saw the taste in Tian Xiang's eyes.Besides, the meal was drugged, so naturally His Royal Highness King Xuan couldn't use it.Almost swiftly, under Fleeting Nian's instruction, the maids immediately removed the table full of meals.

With embarrassment and grievance on Xia Yixuan's face, he raised the chopsticks in his hand, and said in a low voice: "But... oh, I haven't tasted it yet! Why, it's all taken away like this?" At the end , he simply blinked his big innocent and wronged eyes, and looked at Tianxiang with accusation on his face.

Tianxiang rolled her eyes fiercely, then turned a blind eye, got up and walked to her desk to deal with the important affairs of the mansion.She didn't want to have anything to do with the members of the royal family, but now that Xia Yixuan came to pester her, she just had to be indifferent.What's more, the men are unmarried, and the women are unmarried. It is always a breach of etiquette to live in the same room.

Tianxiang doesn't like trouble at all, in order to avoid being spread rumors that shouldn't be spread, it's better for her to avoid it.Just when Tianxiang sat down, anxious and steady steps came from outside the door, the corners of Tianxiang's mouth curled up, presumably it was her father who heard the news.

Immediately got up and straightened her clothes, Tian Xiang greeted her immediately, leaving Xia Yixuan in the room in the cold. "Father, my daughter is being polite!" Tianxiang blessed her body, with an air of filial piety to her daughter, with a slight arc of tranquility on the corners of her lips.

Qi Zhongqing's clothes were a bit disheveled, and his expression was extremely anxious. This Duke, who usually pays attention to his appearance the most, now looks very anxious.It can be seen that he must have heard that His Highness Xuan Wang was coming, and the idea of ​​​​Tianxiang came up.Sure enough, Qi Zhongqing said in a hurry: "Father heard that Prince Xuan is coming, where is this prince?"

With a flash in Qi Tianxiang's eyes, Qi Zhongqing had already stepped forward, and immediately a strong smell of makeup and powder came to her nostrils.Tianxiang wrinkled her nose calmly, and then suppressed the disdain and contempt in her eyes.It seems that my lord father must be in a certain room just now!With a more intense smile on his face, Tian Xiang turned sideways, pointed to the room and said, "Father, His Royal Highness Xuan Wang is in the room."

Qi Zhongqing breathed a sigh of relief, looked around and found Xia Yixuan was standing by the window with his hands behind his back.As expected, he was worthy of being a prince, just now he and Tianxiang had a casual look, but now this posture immediately reveals the majesty of a prince.Qi Zhongqing was startled, and immediately took a step forward and knelt down on one knee: "My minister sees His Royal Highness Xuan Wang! Wang Ye Wanan!"

"The Duke of the State is really the king of evil!" Xia Yixuan turned around suddenly, helped Qi Zhongqing up personally and said: "The Lord of the State once fought with the father in the north and south, and made great contributions to our Xijing Dynasty. Every time the father educates the king And the rest of the brothers, you must take the heroic deeds of the Duke of the Kingdom as a model!" Xia Yixuan's face was sincere, and he was not rigid in the worldly etiquette, so he quickly became casual.

"You don't need to be so restrained in front of this king, my lord, please sit down!" Xia Yixuan pursed his lips and smiled, and at the same time pressed Qi Zhongqing himself on the bench.

Qi Zhongqing was on pins and needles, feeling even more uneasy in his heart.Companion to a monarch is like companion to a tiger, so although this prince does not have the ferocity of a tiger, he still has the ferocity of a young tiger.

This dignified prince and prince was so polite in vain, Qi Zhongqing could only be more cautious in his heart.But with a smile on his face, he said: "I am ashamed, my life is enough to receive such praise from the emperor. By the way, the prince suddenly came to the humble house, is there anything important?"

Xia Yixuan's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and the cunning flashed away, and suddenly he said with a smile that was not a smile: "Hey, is it possible that the king has nothing important to do, so he can't visit the Duke's mansion? What the Duke means, this king You must have something to do before you can visit the Duke's Mansion?" His eyes were slightly squinted, the smile inside was shallow, but no real thoughts could be seen deep in his eyes.

Qi Zhongqing's heart trembled, and he said in a cold sweat, "My lord, calm down, I don't have that intention! Please enlighten my lord!" Qi Zhongqing's heart trembled, as expected, people in the royal family were not easy to get along with.Don't look at Xia Yixuan's cynical and leisurely princely demeanor, Qi Zhongqing has never underestimated him.

"Oh, is it possible that this king is scary?" Xia Yixuan said with a helpless face, very aggrieved: "Look at the Duke of the country is so scared, this king didn't come here specially to find fault. The Duke of the country is also a bit restrained, I am The king just passed by the Duke's mansion today, and suddenly remembered that the last time he was in the palace, it seemed that Miss Qi was taken aback. The Duke of the country has contributed to my court, so I should be sympathetic, and I just came to visit Miss Qi."

Qi Tianxiang felt a chill in her heart, so it turned out that Xia Yixuan came here today to sniff out her words and tell her what to say!Her complexion was normal, and Tianxiang didn't show anything wrong because of his words.Gujing looked at Xia Yixuan calmly, Tianxiang said calmly: "My lady is terrified, the lord must have misunderstood. My lady was not surprised, she just had a conversation with Lady Zhaoyi that day, so she left the palace later. "

Hearing this, Xia Yixuan's smile became more intense, and there was a little more food for thought in it.He looked at Qi Tianxiang for a moment, as if he wanted to see something from her face.A few people were drinking and chatting in Qiongyu Tower that day, but because of what the secret guard whispered, Luo Tianqi left before he could tell them, and it must be because of something serious.

At the same time, Xia Yixuan received the news from his secret guard that Empress Luo Zhaoyi declared Qi Tianxiang to enter the palace that day.It was easy for him to link these two things together.In addition, every time Luo Tianqi sees Qi Tianxiang, there will be some clues.Xia Yixuan was even more certain that Luo Tianqi was in a hurry to leave that day because he wanted to save the beauty in dire straits.

After careful consideration, Xia Yixuan and Xia Yifei immediately realized that if Luo Tianqi didn't have someone like eyeliner in the palace, how could he be able to know every bit of things in the palace?Therefore, Xia Yixuan immediately realized that Luo Tianqi might have a big backer that they couldn't find out?

Therefore, since then, Xia Yixuan began to test Luo Tianqi intentionally or unintentionally.The purpose is to make sure whether Luo Tianqi has a powerful force behind him to rely on.Although they used to be good buddies and good partners, they often drink and play together.But for the safety of the royal family, they have to be cautious and have to get to know Luo Tianqi again.

It's just that after many days of probing, Xia Yixuan still didn't extract any useful information from Luo Tianqi.So in desperation, he had no choice but to shift his gaze to Tianxiang.After all, Luo Tianqi still cares about Tianxiang, maybe Tianxiang is a breakthrough here.It's just that Xia Yixuan was even more disappointed, because from the moment he came in, Tianxiang had always looked indifferent and calm.

I don't know, I really can't believe that this girl is only a teenager!Xia Yixuan couldn't see through this girl even more, her words and deeds were dignified and polite, making it impossible to find fault.It happened that he could easily resolve the question he asked.This girl's mind can be said to be infinite, Xia Yixuan was a little depressed.

"Well, since Miss Qi is fine, I can finally rest assured." Seeing that there was really no clue, Xia Yixuan immediately recovered his playful face and said with a smile.

At this time, Liuying also led a group of maids, and quickly placed the meals on the dining table.Since Tianxiang noticed the abnormality of the meal just now, Liu Ying was more cautious this time, and she personally watched and made every meal.And when it was plated, it was tested with silver needles one by one.

"Miss, this meal has been personally supervised and tested by servants, so you can eat it with confidence."

"Well, let's add another pair of bowls and chopsticks!" Tianxiang responded, looking at the dishes in front of her that were selected from the recipes left by her mother, she couldn't help but also picked them up.Anyway, she didn't eat just now, so Tian Xiang sat down, greeted Xia Yixuan and said, "Didn't Your Highness just say that you were hungry? Then please try these dishes, Your Highness should not be disappointed."

Just kidding, these dishes are recipes that have never been published in the cookbook left by my mother.Tianxiang wrote it out and asked the kitchen staff to follow the recipe several times before she finally mastered it and got the delicious taste it has today.In the past, it was a delicacy that Tianxiang could eat alone, but even if other people wanted to eat it, they still couldn't.

When Xia Yixuan saw these dishes, he immediately moved his index finger.Especially since he is a prince and prince after all, what rare delicacies have he not seen?However, what surprised him was that he had never seen the food here at Tianxiang!But he never let go of delicious food. "This king has never seen these dishes before!"

Tianxiang put down the bowls and chopsticks when she heard the words, and began to introduce patiently: "Oh, the prince wants to know, so Tianxiang will chatter a little more. This dish is called fish head with chopped peppers. It is fresh and spicy, and has a unique flavor. This dish is called sweet and sour pork ribs, sweet and sour, the meat is delicious and sweet. This dish is emerald shrimp balls..."

Just listening to Tianxiang's introduction, Xia Yixuan was so greedy that he almost drooled.Therefore, without waiting for Tianxiang to finish all the introductions, he immediately picked up the chopsticks and began to feast on them.After the dishes entered his mouth, Xia Yixuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he kept nodding.He even praised vaguely while eating: "It's delicious! Well, it's even more delicious than Ke Laixiang's signature dish!"

Seeing this, Qi Zhongqing was also quite greedy.Tianxiang was keenly aware of it, and immediately gestured with her eyes, and asked Liuying to fetch a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Next, none of the three spoke, and all their attention was on the meal in front of them.After a while, the room was filled with the sound of chopsticks colliding with plates. Three people, eight dishes, all ate cleanly!Even the garnished vegetable leaves and the soup are eaten clean!

With a satisfied face, Xia Yixuan burped and patted his stomach.Then she comfortably lay down on the imperial concubine's bed.And he smacked his mouth, and said with endless aftertaste: "This king has not tasted such a delicious dish for a long time. Speaking of which, even the dishes that are delicious from guests are incomparable!"

This Ke Lai Xiang is a large restaurant in Kyoto. It is said that the dishes inside are really delicious and memorable.The business of the restaurant is very hot, every time you go in for a meal, you have to make a reservation in advance.Otherwise, they would have to wait in line to get their turn.

Tianxiang still had a calm expression on her face, upon hearing Xia Yixuan's appreciation, she immediately said with a smile: "My lord is satisfied with the meal, so my servant will be relieved."
