Chapter 185 The Master Should Like Miss Xie

Zhou Xiaocheng originally looked down on others, but now he truly admired them.

This child is so smart.

How could an ordinary person invent the curved plow?

There was almost no suspense about the next step of calcining crude salt, as every family could do it. Xie Yanyan was neither particularly outstanding nor lagging behind.

It’s just that she produces slightly more salt than McDull.

The processing time of coarse salt is also not short.

They were busy until the evening, and the steaming of coarse salt was still going on. Chairman Qiu was old, so he went home to rest first, while Chairman Ji and the salt gang continued to supervise.

The Salt Temple Square is different from other poor towns. This is the richest city in the Sixteen Kingdoms, with no shortage of lanterns, luminous pearls and other things.

It is as bright as day at night.

Someone from the Princess's Mansion brought some freshly made chestnut cakes, which were delicious and tasty, and they invited the participating teams from Hanlong Trading Company and Nanzhong Palace to try them.

There are too many people, and each person only gets one piece, which is not enough to fill them up!

"How delicious are the chestnut crisps given by the princess?" Qinglian asked everyone with a smile, "The chef in the mansion spent a long time making them. The chestnuts are made from the small honey chestnuts from the Nanzhong King's fiefdom. They are soft, sticky and sweet."

When she said this, everyone felt embarrassed.

McDull was participating in the competition for Hanlong Trading Company. Qingshan sent someone to pick McDull up and take him to Wanghai Pavilion for dinner.

McDull asked Qingshan shyly, "Didn't they say that Lord Song is coming?"

Qingshan: "Your Majesty is busy and cannot leave. I will see the princess again after the state affairs are over."

Qingshan was Chu Xiwang's most trusted confidant, and it was impossible for him to always accompany Princess Xiyue. He politely took the person to Wanghai Pavilion and left.

Qingjin and Qingxiu, one was accompanying McDull in Wanghai Pavilion, and the other was watching the salt production in the Salt Temple.

When the dishes were served, Qinglian looked at the signature dishes of Wanghai Pavilion and said happily, "Your Majesty is particularly polite to the princess."

McDull looked at Qingjin and said, "How many years have you been with Lord Song?"

"I have lived in the mansion since I was a child, but I only carry out missions outside and I don't know anything about the master's affairs." Qing Jin loves to smile, with curved eyes.

"You are the number one person in 'Splendid Mountains and Rivers'. You must know the basic information of Lord Song, right?"

"What does Princess Xiyue mean?"

"Is Lord Song engaged?"

"I really don't know."

"How could you not know whether your master is engaged or not? If he is engaged, then he is engaged. If he is not engaged, then he is not engaged. How could you not know anything about it? What do you do as a subordinate? How can you not care about your master's affairs?"

Qing Jin said seriously: "Should a servant ask about the master's affairs?"

"You..." Princess Xiyue said without thinking, "Qingjin, you invited me to fight for the salt mine, and you are just perfunctory to me like this?"

"Princess, calm down. I really don't know anything about my master's affairs. I just know to do what my master tells me to do."

McDull took a deep breath and said, "Well, you must know whether your master has a wedding or children, right?"

"Never married."

"Does he have a concubine, a concubine, or a maid?"

"No."

McDull was immediately overjoyed and rewarded her with a plate of shortbread.

Qing Jin retreated respectfully and said, "I will be waiting outside. Princess, please call me if you have anything."

I stepped out of the door, sat at the stone table under the moon, smelled the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance filling the yard, and recalled the scene of the game during the day.

Princess Xiyue didn't know, and Miss Xie didn't know either. Her Majesty was right there, but he had changed his appearance.

Ever since he knew that the guest invited by the Nanhai Palace was Miss Xie, His Majesty no longer cared about winning or losing the game.

She couldn't be sure whether His Majesty liked Miss Xie.

But she had seen that ever since His Majesty got the saber and cut off the head of the King of Yan, he would hold the saber in his hand and watch silently whenever he had free time.

She knew that her master was thinking about Miss Xie.

Your Majesty is too cold, just like Miss Xie.

Qing Jin didn't know what His Majesty was thinking, nor did he know what Miss Xie was thinking.

Qing Jin took a bite of the shortbread, thinking about the cool and sweet sweet melon that Xie Yanyan made for her, the sweet, fragrant and tender egg tarts, the endlessly memorable chicken rolls, the naan with various fillings, and the steaming sour plum juice...

Can I throw the biscuit in my hand away?

[It would be great if Miss Xie could marry the master, preferably the queen]

[I will follow this queen forever]

Qing Jin thought so again.

After McDull had dinner with a group of guards and maids at Wanghai Pavilion, he asked his guards to go to the scene to see what Xie Yanyan was doing?

The guard came back and said that Xie Yanyan was not there and had gone back to the inn to rest.

"Go, order some baskets of shortbread from Wanghai Pavilion. This county lord is going to treat the craftsmen to shortbread."

Back at the competition venue, Qinglian said to the busy craftsmen with a proud look on her face: "Everyone, the princess is treating everyone to shortbread again. Please line up to receive it."

Many of the craftsmen were once soldiers under Chu Xiwang. They dared not make a noise unless their master told them to eat, because the helmsman said that His Majesty was also here today.

After being hungry for a whole day, everyone felt dizzy. In the afternoon, some people got one chestnut cake, while others didn’t get any. When they heard that there was food to eat, they all perked up.

Except for those who are working on the stove, everyone comes to line up.

Qinglian said: "This is given to everyone by Princess Xiyue herself."

"Thank you, Princess Xiyue."

The craftsmen were very polite; they were all very hungry and wanted to eat as soon as possible.

McDull watched the craftsmen rushing to get the biscuits, but Xie Yanyan never came back.

What’s the point of her spreading the shortbread when Xie Yanyan is not around?

She asked Qinglian to send it a little later.

Qinglian had no choice but to say to the craftsmen, "Please wait a moment. The princess has something to do now."

The craftsmen lined up and asked anxiously, "Miss Qinglian, how long will it take?"

"Don't worry, you will definitely get rich. The princess has bought a lot!" Qinglian said with contempt in his heart, I help you seize the mine and also treat you to a meal, it's really a bargain for you.

The craftsmen lined up and waited anxiously. McDull sent guards to wait outside the Salt Temple. As soon as Xie Yanyan showed up, they would start distributing the cakes.

Xie Yanyan took a short rest in the inn and then returned to the competition venue.

What the craftsmen on site eat is arranged by the Nanhai Palace, and she is too lazy to care about it.

As a result, when she walked 400 meters outside the Salt Temple, she heard the voices of McDull's guards who were waiting for her at the door.

[Mr. Xie is here. Go tell the princess now that you can distribute the shortbread.]

Xie Yanyan: What do you mean? Princess Xiyue has to look at my mood before handing out shortbread?

She stopped and said to Zhou Tu, "Go check what Princess Xiyue is doing."

Zhou Tu saw her stop and said hesitantly, "Miss, what do you mean?"

"Tell me the result after seeing it."

Zhou Tu saw her turn and leave, and hurried into the Salt Temple.

As soon as I entered the square, I heard Qinglian say loudly, "Don't crowd, there's one for everyone. My princess is kind-hearted and can't bear to see you tired and hungry, so she'll give you enough. Please line up one by one to get the fragrant and sweet Wanghai Pavilion shortbread."

Zhou Tu quickly asked Huang Han: "What's going on?"

"Princess Xiyue is going crazy! I'll treat everyone to chestnut crisps from the Princess' Mansion this afternoon, and now I'll treat everyone to shortbread from Wanghai Pavilion." Huang Han sneered, "Their craftsmen are gods, and they haven't eaten all day."

"Why don't you eat for a day?"

"To lose weight! It shows the princess' kindness. After all, she is very hungry. She will be grateful if she is given a date to eat." Huang Han doesn't care about the princess Xiyue. "I think she is bullying Miss Xie."

Zhou Tu was not stupid and understood it immediately.

To win people's hearts? To flatter Miss Xie?

This is too low-level. He is plotting against Miss Xie!

Does Miss Xie still need to worry about such trivial matters as the craftsmen's meals?
