Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 249

Doudou was being asked about homework by Murong Xi'er, and she didn't like it.Although he remembered Murong Xier's deeds of guessing seven things on the night of Osmanthus Festival, he admired her very much.But he had already learned his homework for six days, and today he just wanted to play, so he gave a somewhat perfunctory answer.When his eyes were wandering, he happened to see Hua Lu calling him, and hurried over: "Sister Hua Lu?"

Hua Lu lowered her head and pinched his little face, and smiled softly.This little guy is the one Madam loves the most, so he coaxed: "Good Doudou, my sister wants to eat a dish today, can you go and ask Madam to cook it?"

"Hey, are you starting to fool the kids?" Hua Xin listened to the words.Raising his hand and throwing away a handful of melon seeds, he raised his voice and said, "Doudou don't listen to her. Mrs. Today specifically said that Hualu made a mistake and told everyone to ignore her."

"You!" Hua Lu let go of Doudou angrily, rolled up her sleeves and rushed over: "I'll fight with you!"

For a while, the yard was filled with the sound of two girls fighting.

In the kitchen, Feng Yao just smiled and shook her head.Today, I made a new dish, cut the dried bean curd into squares, rolled them into rolls, and stuck them with thin bamboo sticks, four of which were inserted into one bamboo stick.Put sugar and tea leaves in the cauldron again, increase the fire below, put a cage on the top, and put the bean curds on it.

After smoking for a while, it can be taken out, and then put the bean curd in the chicken soup and simmer for about a quarter of an hour.After such a few steps, the Chicken Soup Tofu Skewers are ready.Since it was a new dish and it was made in response to Murong Xi'er's wish, it was naturally Murong Xi'er who moved the chopsticks first.

After Murong Xi'er ate it, she felt that it was extremely delicious, so she couldn't help but nodded.His gaze swept over Hua Lu's face, and she swallowed with a gulp, her face full of greed, she looked at Feng Yao and said, "This dish is very delicious. Since I don't come here often, I will bring this dish with you." let's go."

After saying a word, before the others could react, Hua Lu cried.This time, I really cried. Her pretty Xing eyes were filled with tears, and she said aggrievedly: "Everyone can order new dishes, but I can't. Ah Xi didn't eat enough, so I have to take them away. Woohoo, it's too bullying. .”

Everyone at the table laughed.Even Doudou could see that Murong Xi'er was actually joking, but Hualu cried.After everyone laughed for a while, Hua Lu finally realized that she was ashamed and angry, dropped her chopsticks and ran out.

It was Doudou who coaxed her back with a few skewers of tofu.He ate a few mouthfuls of the flower dew made of tofu skewers with resentment, and was conquered without any difficulty. He followed behind the little guy Doudou, and returned to the dinner table in a hurry.Naturally, Hua Xin laughed again.

The meal was so much fun that even Murong Xi'er laughed out loud.

After the meal, Murong Xi'er sat for a while and then left.Feng Yao stood up and said, "I'll see you off."

Murong Xi'er originally thought that Feng Yao was going to send her to the door, and wanted to tell her not to.Murong Xi'er doesn't like this kind of parting, even though it is short-lived.

When walking out of the gate of Feng Yao's house, Murong Xi'er felt rather melancholy.Even, she couldn't help turning her head back, such a relaxed and happy place is not her home.Unexpectedly, Feng Yao didn't let go of her arm when she left the gate, and after sending Murong Xi'er into the carriage, she actually followed her up!
Murong Xi'er's eyes widened, and she looked at Feng Yao who came in after her: "A Yao? Are you going back to the palace with me?"

Feng Yao sat beside her, got close to her, then turned her head to look at her with a smile and said, "I'll see you off."

Murong Xi'er was pleasantly surprised, and immediately understood Feng Yao's meaning, as if to send her out of the city?Immediately hugged Feng Yao's arm, but pouted her small mouth, complaining: "You are not willing to follow me back to the palace, why are you here to send me?"

Feng Yao stretched out a finger and tapped her forehead.But he didn't speak, and gradually the smile on his face faded, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes: "Xi'er, what happened?"

Murong Xi'er's body froze slightly, then she relaxed, and said in a relaxed tone: "Ah? What did A Yao say? I'm fine, is there anything wrong?"

Inside the carriage, the light was a bit dim because of the curtains covering it.Feng Yao stretched out her hand, touched Murong Xi'er's face intuitively, and said in a low voice: "You say that, but you don't regard me as a close person. Since you came last time, I have looked at you a little depressed. Today Goodbye, I only feel that you are not happy, so I asked this question."

Murong Xi'er became hoarse, turned her head slightly, and leaned into the warm palm.

Feng Yao waited for a while, and seeing that she was silent, she said again: "If you have troubles, I can help you, don't be polite, just tell me. If you feel that I can't help you, you may as well tell me Complain, it will make you feel better when you say it."

After the words were finished, she felt that Murong Xi'er was holding her hand with a little more force suddenly.However, Feng Yao waited for a while, but Murong Xi'er still couldn't speak.

Feng Yao was a little angry, she grabbed her hand, and her voice was a little annoyed: "Okay, since you don't want to say anything, I don't have to accompany you. I'm getting out of the car, you can go back by yourself, be careful on the road."

"Don't go!" Murong Xi'er quickly hugged Feng Yao's arm, looked up at her pitifully: "A Yao, don't go."

Because of the darkness in the carriage, Feng Yao couldn't see Murong Xi'er's face clearly.However, there were tears in those bright and clear eyes at the moment, and they could still be seen clearly.She sighed in her heart, and sat back again: "Are you willing to say it?"

Murong Xi'er pouted, reluctantly said: "It's nothing at all." Then, she said that she had quarreled with Concubine Xu Gui and found out that the emperor didn't like her that much.However, the fact that Feng Yao was slapped because of her quarrel with the emperor was omitted.

"They used to treat me like this, but I never noticed it. Now that I've learned from you, I just discovered this. It's just that I can't get over it for a while." Murong Xi'er was still feeling unhappy about her own depression. And make excuses, "There's really nothing."

After hearing this, Feng Yao felt pity in her heart, so she put Murong Xi'er's head on her shoulder, stroked her hair, and said: "They have already given you, the best they can give, Xi'er, don't be sad."

In the dim light, Murong Xi'er's eyelids trembled, she bit her lip, and nodded silently.For the emperor, the most important thing is the country and the country, and the stability of the throne.For him, love for children is nothing more than a condiment in his spare time.

For the noble concubine, the most important thing is her status. If Murong Xier always maintains her status, she will give Murong Xier gentle care, but if Murong Xier occasionally disagrees with her, then the harshness and beating will come. .Now, if Murong Xi'er refused to listen to her arrangements, she lost her head, became angry, and fought with Murong Xi'er.

Murong Xi'er knew these truths, but she still couldn't control her sadness.The atmosphere in the carriage was a little dull for a while.

Feng Yao thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "It's also because you are beautiful and intelligent, and you are willing to listen to me, otherwise you think I will still talk to you? I won't even give you a bite of rice."

After Murong Xi'er heard this, she was immediately annoyed, but she stretched out her arms to hug her waist, and strangled her fiercely: "How dare you despise me?"

Feng Yao was so strangled by her that she couldn't breathe, she laughed and cursed: "Stinky girl, let go."

The two quarreled for a while, and finally swept away the gloomy atmosphere.

Murong Xi'er finally let go of Feng Yao, but still leaned on her shoulder, and said: "You are doing it for my own good, I know it. I like other parents and dote on me, but I am greedy. Now that I am a princess, I have enjoyed the honor of being a princess, so I have to accept all other bad things together. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too greedy?"

Feng Yao's heart was slightly moved, because of this girl's spiritual wisdom.At this moment, she couldn't say anything, but gently followed her long hair.In my heart, I wanted to mention Su Xingyan, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt it was inappropriate, so I didn't say it.

But Murong Xi'er suddenly remembered something, straightened up and said to Feng Yao: "It really reminds me of something!"

"What's the matter?" Seeing that she spoke solemnly, Feng Yao couldn't help asking curiously.

I just heard Murong Xier say: "You don't know, do you? Every year from March to May, several countries bordering our Dajing Dynasty will pay tribute. Although it is a tribute, it also has the meaning of showing off. Among them, the Bai Kingdom , the clothes designed and tailored are the most lively, and they have been on our heads for many years."

It has only been half a year since Fengyao came to this world, she has never heard anything about foreign countries, so she can't help listening curiously.Hearing that Murong Xi'er spoke clearly, because of his noble status, what he knew was exceptionally clear and extensive.Feng Yao listened intently, until the carriage stopped for a long time before she gradually realized it.

There was light in her eyes, and she grabbed Murong Xi'er's hand, wishing she could hug her and kiss her: "Xi'er, you have done me a great favor!"

Murong Xi'er saw that Feng Yao spoke sincerely, obviously he really helped her, so she couldn't help being happy, but she only said regret in her mouth: "Hmph, I can't bear to ask me to sleep at your house, such a stingy person, I will Why do you want to help you?" He beat his chest again and again, as if he really regretted it.

Feng Yao really loves her so much, she couldn't care less about being fit, hugged Murong Xi'er, and kissed her on the cheek: "Good Xi'er, next time I come here, I will cook a table of delicious dishes for you! After finishing speaking, he got up and jumped out of the car, and said in a clear voice, "Let's go!"

At this time, the carriage had left the city.After Fengyao yelled, the guard who was driving raised his whip and lightly lashed the horse's buttocks, and the carriage started gradually.

In the carriage, Murong Xi'er held the place where Feng Yao kissed just now, feeling extremely hot.He flicked his sleeves for a while, and said angrily: "What? Are you actually a disciple?" However, the corners of his mouth were raised high, he turned around and opened the curtain, and looked out.Just happened to see Feng Yao standing in the same place, watching her leave, the corners of her mouth raised even higher for a moment.

"Shua" put down the curtain, and said with a soft snort: "Dare to belittle this princess, don't come again next time!"

Feng Yao didn't know that she was disgusted in her mouth, but she was filled with joy in her heart, and when she was far away, she hurried back.Walking along the way, digesting the information Murong Xi'er brought her.

Around the Dajing Dynasty, there are four countries that are far inferior to the Dajing Dynasty in general, regardless of their land area, population, economic situation, and education level.However, these four countries each have their strengths.

For example, Baiguo is far superior to other countries in the weaving and dyeing of cloth and the tailoring style of garments.For example, in the state of Min, the pearl hairpin hair crowns and other styles made are the most complicated and gorgeous.For example, the rouge gouache produced by Qi State is the most delicate and gorgeous, with a faint fragrance that is not greasy. The concubines of the Dajing Dynasty take pleasure in snatching Qi State's rouge every year.
