When I found out I had become the [Most Beautiful Woman], [Most Respected Woman], [Number One Talented Woman], and [Most Beautiful and Virtuous Empress] of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Su Chang...
Chapter 1208 Knowing each other, getting acquainted, and falling in love
It was a year ago, and Su Changan had just had to accept the fact that she was considered a palace maid.
At that time, Su Changan was not able to eat enough when he was fleeing.
But when she arrived at the palace, she became a palace maid and was assigned to work in the imperial kitchen, but she still could not get enough to eat.
However, it is impossible to ask Su Changan to just watch all the delicious food in the imperial kitchen all day and do nothing.
Stealing food from the imperial kitchen is a very delicate and technical job, from making a plan, to what to steal, where to eat, where to bury the bones after eating, and one's own alibi, all of these have to be carefully arranged.
After all, it is the imperial kitchen, a formal imperial palace, and we cannot be careless.
What is being made in the kitchen today are wontons, not for the empress dowager. The empress dowager's things cannot be stolen, and neither can Your Majesty. There are more than a dozen people waiting for the meal to be served, and stealing could easily cause trouble.
But Su Changan discovered that there was an imperial chef, so he would always secretly make some extra and put it aside.
This is what was stolen.
But don’t take all, just take half.
For example, today we made wontons, a separate pot of steamed buns and a few chickens that were taken out after the soup was boiled. After all, it is said that the Queen Mother only drinks soup and does not eat chicken, so every time the soup is boiled, a few chickens will always be taken out.
After Su Changan stole half of the total amount, he ran to an abandoned courtyard several palaces away from the imperial kitchen.
But it’s not that particular. You can just sit cross-legged on the ground and start eating.
but
Plans cannot keep up with changes.
Today, when Su Changan was eating Zhengmei, he saw the man in white clothes, dressed like a scholar.
Su Changan was shocked when he saw this man.
But look carefully, King Xia Bai!
The person who saved me and brought me into the palace.
She was also the one who arranged to become a maid in the imperial kitchen.
The first person he saw when he woke up was holding a fan, tilting his head and looking at him strangely.
Su Changan didn't think much about it, put down the bowl in his hand, ran over quickly, pulled Xia Baiwang into the yard, looked around, and quickly closed the door.
King Xia Bai looked at Su Changan with a strange expression, then looked at the food on the ground. He was very confused, but did not ask.
Su Changan looked at King Xia Bai: "What are you doing here?"
He had already said the words of thanks when he woke up that day, so there was no need to repeat them. Besides, now that he had been discovered stealing, the most important thing was to resolve the matter. Otherwise, according to the rules, Su Changan might be beaten to death.
Especially the empress dowager, he heard that she would beat palace maids to death at will and was very cruel.
King Xia Bai said: "I was bored, so I came to see you."
Su Changan asked: "How did you know I was here?"
King Xia Bai pointed at the food on the ground and said, "I saw you bringing those things here, so I followed you."
Su Changan narrowed his eyes and looked at King Xia Bai: "Really?"
Prince Xia Bai nodded, but smiled the next moment: "You stole the food from the imperial kitchen, didn't you? And judging by the time, it must be the leftovers from the Queen Mother's meal."
Su Changan looked at King Xia Bai and his heart skipped a beat. He began to think about what to do. The main problem was that it was difficult to deal with since he was his savior after all.
But Xia Baiwang asked with a smile: "Can you finish it? You took so much."
But looking at Su Changan's expression, King Xia Bai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm just curious, how did you take so much at once without anyone knowing? And with so much food, can you finish it all by yourself?"
Su Changan looked at King Xia Bai suspiciously.
Xia Baiwang chuckled, "I won't tell anyone else. Just believe me. Forget that I'm your savior. If I wanted to harm you, I should have just not saved you. Besides, I just took some food. Forget it. Others stole precious ingredients and sold them."
Su Changan thought about it and realized that what he said was actually true. With this person being able to arrange for him to enter the imperial kitchen at will and to enter and leave the palace at will, he must be a prince at least, so it would be easy for him to kill him.
otherwise
Su Changan stared at Xia Baiwang's thin body and actually began to think about the problem of memory disappearance. After all, killing her would definitely not work, but he couldn't let her tell others what he had done.
So he didn't hesitate about it, sat down again and started eating, and looked at Xia Baiwang: "Can you eat?"
King Xia Bai squatted beside Su Changan, holding his chin with one hand, and tilted his head to look at Su Changan who was eating and drinking with his mouth full of oil.
What kind of person is this? A girl who is so pretty eats like this?
But seeing Su Changan eating like this, King Xia Bai swallowed his saliva and said, you know what, he is not only good-looking, but also good at eating, and it looks delicious.
Thinking of this, King Xia Bai saw Su Changan biting a chicken leg in his mouth, which was really vulgar!
I have never seen people eating like this since I was a child in the palace.
But seeing him pick up another chicken leg and bring it to him, King Xia Bai immediately shook his head: "I won't eat it."
Curiosity is curiosity.
I do feel a little disgusted, after all, my hands look so greasy and my mouth is full of oil.
Eh!!
Prince Xia Bai pouted his lips. Could it be that delicious? He ate like this. If the nanny in charge of the imperial kitchen saw him like this, he would definitely be punished. It was too inappropriate.
Su Changan didn't bother to look at King Xia Bai's expression. He just said "Oh" and continued eating.
But he looked at Xia Baiwang with disdain. What can I say? He is so effeminate. Not only does he squat there with his hands on his chin, but his eyelashes are so long and he looks so effeminate.
dislike!
A man looking like this, so pitiful!
But since he is your savior, you cannot despise him.
Su Changan didn't say anything and ate quickly, otherwise if the imperial kitchen came looking for him, he would have no idea what to do.
And his alibi can't last long.
only
When Su Changan was eating, he didn't care at first, but after taking a few bites, Su Changan turned his head to look at King Xia Bai, who was squatting beside him, with his hands on his cheeks and staring at him, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Su Changan blinked and moved to the side, away from this person.
The main thing is the look in his eyes. I'm a man and I don't like homosexuals, so don't fall for me.
But Su Changan moved, and King Xia Bai also moved.
Su Changan continued to move.
King Xia Bai continued to follow.
And the distance is closer.
This person has no sense of distance.
Su Changan looked at King Xia Bai and said, "My benefactor, what do you want to do?"
King Xia Bai immediately said, "You don't have to call me benefactor. I just want to see you. I mainly want to ask you why you look so good."
Su Changan took a bite of chicken and said, "I don't know, I was born to be so beautiful. But..."
At this point, looking at King Xia Bai, Su Changan became alert: "But I don't like men."
When King Xia Bai heard the latter part, he was puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. He smiled and said, "I don't like women either."
Su Changan took a breath and said, "You don't like women, but you look at me like this, but you have classified me as a woman."
He is so good-looking and it turns out he has a homosexual fetish!
Thinking of this, Su Changan moved again.
King Xia Bai saw Su Changan moving away from him again, and couldn't help but frowned: "Su Changan, why do you always want to stay away from me?"
Su Changan said seriously: "Men and women should not touch each other, and you are a noble, there may be many people who like you, I don't want to be bullied."
Hearing this, King Xia Bai frowned and asked, "Someone bullied you?"
Su Changan said frankly: "It can't be considered bullying me. It's human nature. After all, I am so beautiful, and I am still the lowest-ranking palace maid. The main thing is that this is the atmosphere in the harem, and it's normal."
King Xia Bai looked at Su Changan like this and said, "I can help you."
Su Changan shook his head: "We are all miserable people, and my roommate helped me, so it's okay. You saved my life, I am grateful to you enough, I won't bother you with such a small matter."
As he spoke, Su Changan lowered his head and put some good chicken away separately.
Seeing that Su Changan was unwilling to talk more, Xia Baiwang did not ask any more questions. Time would make a difference. He just looked at Su Changan storing the food and asked, "It's hot in the weather. If we leave it overnight, won't it go bad?"
Su Changan looked down at the food and said, "This is for my roommate. That little girl is so skinny that she can't eat much. Besides, she's doing odd jobs with me, so how can she not eat more?"
Prince Xia Bai laughed and said, "You have already filled your stomach by cheating on others, and you still care about others. Moreover, you know that there is something wrong with the atmosphere in the harem, but you still act like such a good person. You may be harmed by others at any time!"
Su Changan finished the food in his hand in a few bites, and then stuffed the food for Mao Mao into his arms, "There are so many bad things, good or bad atmosphere, good or bad people, what does it have to do with me? My roommate is good to me, so I will be good to her."
After that, Su Changan looked at Prince Xia Bai and said, "I can't talk to you for long. I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, when the imperial chef and the ladies in charge of the Imperial Food Bureau find out, they might find out that it was me."
But after saying that, he thought it would be bad to abandon his savior, so he looked at King Xia Bai and said, "Well, benefactor, do you often eat food from the imperial kitchen?"
King Xia Bai nodded: "It's not that I eat it often, so what? I don't need you to steal food for me, but I can bring you delicious food."
Su Changan looked at King Xia Bai and said, "That's fine. Bring a fish and a chicken and I'll make you something delicious. But you have to come at night. During the day, the smoke from the fire can be seen all over the palace, but it's dark at night and few people come here."
King Xia Bai couldn't help but smile: "That's a nice thought, and you are quite eloquent."
Su Changan really couldn't say anything more, so he said goodbye and ran away.
Only King Xia Bai was left looking at Su Changan's back. With a smile on his face, he looked at the chicken bones and other things that had been thrown into the haystack and were difficult to find. He smiled again.
But the next moment, he thought of how Su Changan had just touched it with his hands and then wiped it on his body, as well as the way he ate.
dislike!
Very disgusted!
But yeah.
Today, out of interest, I thought of the girl I rescued. It was mainly because it was fun to rescue her.
Seeing her collapsed on the roadside, I thought of calling a doctor immediately, but she woke up by herself and said, "It's for Stuttering."
As a result, there was no need to call a royal physician.
Seeing that the girl was helpless, she simply brought her to the palace to be a maid. It was better than starving to death in the capital without any money.
At that time, the girl said, "It's enough to have enough food."
This made King Xia Bai smile, so he also took note of this foodie girl.
Today, I remembered it out of interest and went to see her. I didn't expect that she stole food and came here to eat.
A tall woman suddenly appeared behind King Xia Bai, "Your Majesty, it's time to go back. If you leave for too long, Li Nishang might find out that you are here to see this palace maid, and then she might harm this palace maid."
Prince Xia Bai couldn't help but frown, but then his expression became calm: "Aunt Yan, check the background of the palace maid who lives with her."
The tall woman nodded.
But the next moment, King Xia Bai turned his head and looked at the tall woman: "Aunt, have you ever seen a girl eat like that in the martial arts world?"
The tall woman shook her head: "No matter how vulgar it is, I won't eat it like that."
Prince Xia Bai nodded: "That's right, but you have to ask someone to cover up her stealing of food. How can it not be discovered? So much food is gone, and those people in the imperial kitchen rely on this to make money."
As he spoke, King Xia Bai looked at the pile of hidden bones again, with a look of disgust on his face.
I’ll talk about her later!
…
Now, in Lingqi Pavilion.
"Ah!" After Xia Fengxiang finished a fried wonton in one bite, he picked up the wrap and started eating it, not caring about the sauce on his mouth.
Since I became heavier, I have been eating more. In the past, I was full with two rolls or seven or eight wontons.
But now the appetite has increased several times.
According to Zhang Wenjing and Mo Jingchun, being able to eat is a good thing, which means the fetus is healthy, so you must not not eat it.
So Xia Fengxiang also ate without hesitation.
only
Su Changan helped Xia Fengxiang wipe his mouth and said, "Slow down, no one is going to snatch it from you."
Oh, what a way of eating.
Su Changan smiled bitterly, but he also knew that pregnant women eat a lot, and eating a lot is a good thing, so he was actually quite happy.
But Xia Fengxiang swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "Do you dislike me?"
Su Changan curled his lips: "What are you talking about."
Xia Fengxiang immediately said: "I don't even dislike you ladies, why are you pretending to cry by using that potion!"
Su Changan immediately said: "It's over. It was mainly because I miscalculated."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes: "You miscalculated again, just like Qing Ning!"
Su Changan sighed and asked, what should I do? The main thing is that I forgot about the cat.
But looking at Xia Fengxiang, Su Changan said, "If Qing Ning really comes to see you, will you really give him a handwritten order?"
As he spoke, he rolled a pancake for his wife.
Xia Fengxiang said, "Just come and ask for it, if you have anything."
Su Changan laughed and said, "I was just joking with her, and she doesn't have the guts to do it."
Xia Fengxiang shook his head: "Not necessarily. Anyway, it doesn't matter. If she calls me sister-in-law, I will issue an edict to Su Ziyu and his wife. If she calls me Your Majesty, I will let her find you. You can do whatever you want."
Su Changan looked at his wife and found that she was very persistent about these titles.
But no matter what he thought, he picked up the handkerchief to wipe Xia Fengxiang's mouth. What a way of eating!
Xia Fengxiang let Su Changan wipe his mouth, "I have something else to tell you. Zhao Wuxiu will return to Dunhuang for the time being. Su Zifan will come back first with the money he obtained. By the way, the kings of the Western Regions who surrendered will also come with him. Then Zhao Xin will come back with them."
