Su Wan didn't expect that Guard Xie Pei asked her to deliver the chicken soup, but looking at his eyes, Su Wan looked at her superior again, and he obviously asked her to make her own decision.

Then go and have a look!

In fact, she was also worried about Xie Pei's injury. The blood and wounds were not fake.

He was injured so badly and had done so many things. Who wouldn't be shocked when seeing this?

At the same time, the people around Xie Pei were also persuading: "We have already got what we wanted this time, so let it go?"

"Yes, it's important for you to recover from your injuries. He has also been treated harshly by his inferior. If you don't stop, he will really find an opportunity."

"Yes, it's almost done."

Xie Pei's expression was indifferent, but he showed no intention of stopping. His lips were pale and there seemed to be no emotion in his eyes.

When the Grand Secretary of Dongge saw this, he felt a little frightened for a moment.

Before, I thought the Third Prince was like General Ding, and a little like the late emperor. But now it seems that he is like no one and is obviously more cold and indifferent.

But this kind of person is scary.

But the Grand Secretary of the Dongge was not afraid at all, but rather somewhat excited.

Today's Tianxiang Kingdom needs such a prince so that the ambitions of scholars all over the world can be realized.

It would definitely be better for him to sit in that position than the one he has now.

The old man was obviously a little excited. Since he couldn't be persuaded anyway, why not just stop trying?

Although things are a bit troublesome, they are not unsolvable.

This is how things are now.

Xie Pei used his injury to search for the "assassin", but he was actually searching for intelligence in various parts of the palace and cleaning out some hidden agents at the same time.

After this investigation, he had a thorough understanding of the entire palace.

Logically, the story could have ended here. Using injury as an excuse and using the assassin as an excuse seemed barely plausible.

But if we go a step further and force the saints, it would be an act of usurpation.

It was already excessive before, and now it is even more excessive. His injuries cannot be used as a shield.

So the Grand Secretary of the Dongke advised him to stop.

Now I don’t have that thought.

Just as Xie Pei was about to speak, he heard the guard outside the door say, "Your Highness, the ginseng chicken soup is here."

The person who came in with the chicken soup was Su Wan.

It’s better to come here openly. The Third Prince is injured, and the Imperial Kitchen will prepare the food. Is that right?

Dongge Grand Secretary did not think much about it, but heard Xie Pei say: "Let's talk about it later, I'll take a rest for now."

Xie Pei had been injured some time ago, and now he was even more seriously injured. He was able to stand up and deal with these things. People had persuaded him again and again, and everyone secretly admired his courage.

When you say you want to take a rest, you really need to take a rest.

The Grand Secretary of the Dongge did not stay long, but just lingered on the little palace maid in apricot-red clothes for a moment. Only then did he feel puzzled when he left.

The Grand Secretary left, and the guard Zang Dongxin walked out of the room very discerningly and closed the door, leaving only the Third Prince and Miss Su Wan.

Are they two good friends?

But the guards felt that it was weird to call the Third Prince friends.

This was the first time Su Wan saw Xie Pei in the study. Although he was injured, he had a lot of memorials on his desk. He was sitting on a soft couch and was obviously handling official business.

Can you still be so dedicated?

But think about it, if he really has the throne to inherit, how can he not be attentive?

Su Wan took out the chicken soup, but Xie Pei asked, "Have you used it? Did Commander Xia rebandage your wound?"

Su Wan nodded and looked at the black chicken soup in the bowl.

Sure enough, the other chicken drumstick was right there.

Xie Pei looked at her, and after everyone had finished drinking the ginseng and black chicken soup, he said, "Commander Xia was once promoted by the late queen, so they have been in contact since then."

No wonder, Commander Xia is the late queen's man, so it is natural for him to follow Xie Pei.

Su Wan still nodded.

Xie Pei laughed again, but what he said next made her unable to remain silent.

"Commander Xia became a disciple here, thanks to you."

Sure enough, Su Wan's eyes widened: "What does it have to do with me?"

"Why is it okay? If I wasn't writing for you, how could my handwriting be recognized by Feng Ping, the head of the West Right, and how could Feng Ping tell Chief Xia?" Xie Pei said confidently, "So it's all thanks to you."

Su Wan quickly sorted out the relationship, and fortunately Xie Pei took the initiative to explain.

At that time, the late queen lived in the West Courtyard, and the West Outer Palace was very prosperous, similar to the East Outer Palace today.

It was there that Commander Xia was appreciated and later became the highest-ranking female official in the Imperial Food Department.

Another person who had received favors from the late queen was West Right Chief. She had always had a good relationship with Chief Xia. If she had not been attached to the West Kitchen, she would have left the West Kitchen long ago with her abilities.

But I didn't expect that it was this nostalgia that led me to meet Su Wan, and I recognized Xie Pei's handwriting from the list of ingredients that Su Wan wrote first.

Not many people can recognize Xie Pei's handwriting, and only those who were close to the late queen can make out a few.

When Xiyou Zhizhang discovered the Third Prince's handwriting on the list drawn up by Su Wan, he naturally went to discuss it with Chief Xia. The two of them also knew from clues that the Third Prince was completely different from the rumors.

Rumor has it that he is like a transparent man, so I think he definitely doesn't know anything.

But the actual appearance in Guandi Temple was to prepare for the release.

Because Ze was the former queen's man, he didn't get along with Concubine Jiang, and so many things happened to him.

Commander Xia also felt that the Third Prince inherited the legacy of his ancestors, so he gave his full support.

The same is true when Xiyou is in charge.

At the beginning, Su Wan had clearly drawn up the menu for the western kitchen and served as the head chef, but the people who served the meals to Guandi Temple still asked her to deliver the meals because the Western Right Supervisor did not want to expose Xie Pei's whereabouts.

It's enough for Su Wan to know this alone, and there's no need to cause any more trouble.

Anyway, talking about the previous things, it proves one thing, that Su Wan knew Xie Pei, Xie Pei taught Su Wan how to write, and then exposed it to the right manager of the west kitchen.

Although it was purely coincidental, it was indeed her fault.

When Su Wan realized that her superior knew Xie Pei, she was wondering how they got in touch.

Now it seems that it was because of her?

Surprised and a little weird?

After drinking the chicken soup, Xie Pei's lips were not as white, but he was obviously very weak. Su Wan put the low table on the soft couch aside and said, "Do you want to sleep for a while? You are so seriously injured, you shouldn't run around."

After the identities of the two were completely revealed, Su Wan thought she would not say such a thing, but now it was natural for her to say it, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Xie Pei did the same, smiling and pointing to the official business: "How about you help me look at the memorial?"

Su Wan watched and knew why Xie Pei acted this way.

They want to take advantage of his illness to kill him. The more this happens, the more we must not relax on some things.

But she looked at the memorial and said, "It will take more than a day or two to finish it. It's better to take good care of your body, bide your time, and wait for the future."

"There will definitely be opportunities in the future."

Su Wan was called by the guard Zang Dongxin with the purpose of persuading Xie Pei.

Unexpectedly, Xie Pei didn't say anything, but just asked, "How is your injury?"

Her injury?

In fact, the weather is good now and we are in the mountains, so the wounds are not easy to get inflamed and they heal well.

She is young now, so the healing is actually going well.

"It will probably be healed in less than half a month, so it's nothing. But it will probably take two months to recover."

"I'm lucky." Xie Pei said casually, but he could still see the hidden worry in Su Wan's eyes. She seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to start. "And I will take good care of my injuries and not run away."

Don’t run outside!

Take good care of your injuries!

That's enough!

Xie Pei then said, "The chicken soup is good today. Can you come and deliver it tomorrow?"

"Sure. My boss doesn't let me do anything, so I can come over to deliver the meal." Su Wan nodded.

There are small kitchens in other places, and Xie Pei always eats at the Shangshi Restaurant.

At this point, Xie Pei said: "Well, I will send someone to help you carry the food box, and don't hurt your arm again."

When Su Wan left Xie Pei, something was wrong?

He has already sent someone to get the food boxes, so why are you coming here?

Unexpectedly, the officer also said, "You can go over there. You have been injured recently and cannot work. You will be a nuisance here. It would be better to send some food over there so that you have something to do."

Because the two of them had a common secret, the commander was obviously closer to Su Wan.

In the past, Li Rongrong might have been as unhappy as her aunt, Deputy Prime Minister Nan, but now she advised: "Aunt, Su Wan and I are actually different. I am a specialist, while she is an all-rounder. Just like what the superior said, the Imperial Food Department is big enough to accommodate two powerful young palace maids. Have you forgotten?"

Deputy Prime Minister Nan only felt that his niece had indeed grown up a lot. He wanted to make her the most promising palace maid in the Imperial Food Department, but he was not as open-minded as her.

Deputy Prime Minister Nan had no objection to his superior's arrangement, and Deputy Prime Minister Li from the Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau naturally would not say anything.

So it was decided that Su Wan would deliver meals to the Third Prince.

However, most people even felt a little sympathy for Su Wan about this task.

The status of the Third Prince is respectable and noble, but it is only in appearance. Moreover, as soon as all the nobles in the court arrived at the palace, everything was turned upside down. Whoever mentioned the Third Prince would treat it as if he were mentioning an evil star, which was indeed too fierce.

I’m afraid that Su Wan will be scolded again if she goes there. That person is like a madman, very similar to the late queen!

Although it has been quiet these two days, it still looks a bit crazy no matter how you look at it.

Evil star, madman.

No matter how Su Wan looked at it, it didn't look like that. The person in front of her was drinking ice milk tea with one hand and flipping through memorials with the other. How could he look like an evil star?

Iced milk tea is what I wanted to make on Suwan Road.

Now that I have nothing to do and my shoulder is injured, I might as well make some snacks like this.

Besides, they are all living in the temporary palace, and the saint is very angry, so he probably won't pay attention to these things.

The method of making iced milk tea sounds simple, but there are skills involved in adjusting the seasoning to make it have just the right tea flavor, just the right sweetness, and an incredibly smooth taste.

When she got up in the morning, chicken soup was being cooked in the kitchen, and Su Wan was also cooking tea leaves. In addition to tea leaves, she also used tapioca flour to make the pearls for the pearl milk tea.

Su Wan has made similar tapioca pearls before, but this time the pearls are made with brown sugar and tapioca starch. The taste is slightly sweeter and the color is a beautiful brown.

When making milk tea, prepare the pearls in advance. After cooking, be sure to rinse them with cold water immediately so that the taste will be more chewy.

Then bring the boiled black tea over and sift it carefully several times, making sure to filter out all the tea residue inside, otherwise the milk tea will not taste smooth enough.

Filter the black tea water thoroughly and add boiled pure milk with sugar into it.

The tea cannot be too little, otherwise there will be no tea flavor. The milk also needs to be specially processed so that it cannot have a fishy smell. When the proportions are just right, the hot original milk tea is ready.

After the original milk tea and pearls are prepared, pour them into the same tin pot. This tin pot is not easy to disperse the smell. Such a teapot is most needed when making tea. Now it is also good to use it to hold milk tea.

After packing, she put it in the small ice cellar and waited until the chicken soup in the kitchen was ready. Su Wan went to find Xie Pei with chicken soup in one hand and milk tea in the other.

Before he had taken a few steps, the guards who came to pick him up arrived.

The guard looked a little curious.

Why was it that this little palace maid persuaded the man to peace of mind as soon as she arrived? Even the Grand Secretary of the Dongge was surprised.

Everyone was prepared for the Third Prince to continue dealing with people, but he was unexpectedly staying obediently in the side hall, claiming to be sick no matter what was said outside.

It was as if he hadn't done anything before.

This skill of changing faces is not something that others can learn.

The guard quickly took the things from Su Wan's hands, not letting her get tired at all.

So when Su Wan came over, she was very relaxed the whole time.

When they came here, they read, wrote and drank milk tea. Xie Pei read official documents and drank milk tea. Although the two of them didn't talk, they seemed to be very happy and relaxed.

Su Wan originally wondered if it was a bad idea to be lazy here.

But thinking about the injury on her shoulder, the boss would not let her do anything. Going to the kitchen and doing nothing would only attract attention. According to the boss, they were both children, so it would be better for them to recuperate together.

So she simply stayed with Xie Pei, and most of the time it was just the two of them, or with Zang Dongxin, and she gradually got used to it.

When people say that Su Wan is idle, everyone else disagrees. Didn’t they see that she not only delivered meals, but also left so much milk tea for everyone?

Su Wan thought, since she had already done it, she might as well stay up a little longer.

After all, even if she didn't give it to him, the people from the Ministry of Rites would still want a bowl when they heard that there was some fresh food here.

As for the taste of the iced milk tea, there is nothing to say. The pearls inside, which are round balls made of tapioca flour, are chewy and springy.

The milk tea itself is sweet but not greasy.

This combination can be taken out of the ice cellar and people will praise it without adding ice.

For a while, drinking iced pearl milk tea while working became the standard in the Ministry of Rites?

But when Su Wan was free, she looked at the milk tea in her hand and wondered what would be the best match for milk tea? Some people might say small cakes.

But Su Wan thinks that a fragrant and soft egg waffle would be more suitable at this time.

The egg waffles are baked until golden on both sides, and the inside is soft. Eating one egg waffle in one bite, paired with ice-cold bubble milk tea, is a heavenly day!

As soon as her thoughts wandered, Xie Pei noticed her and smiled at her: "Did you think of something delicious?"

???

Can you see this too?
