Chapter 1398: I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Beijing in this lifetime
"I brought these strawberries from other places. I am the only one who has them. They are very pretty and delicious. The quantity is limited and I only supply them to Jinquan House. So naturally we have some dealings with them."
"It's a pity that it's not the right season now, otherwise I'd like Miss Fu to try it. Maybe Miss Fu would like it too."
Princess Shuangfu had never heard of strawberries before, and she was immediately curious. She smiled regretfully and said, "I see! It's a pity that I don't have the good fortune to enjoy them!"
Thinking about her upcoming marriage far away, Qiao Xuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Even though she is not favored, she is a princess after all. If she does not marry a foreign prince, she will naturally find a decent marriage when she reaches the age to get married.
When she arrived at her husband's family, with her status as a princess, her life would generally not be bad unless she was extremely unlucky.
I guess even though Princess Shuangfu has accepted her fate, deep down she still hopes to stay in a place she is familiar with, right?
After this trip, I’m afraid I’ll never be able to return to the capital in this lifetime.
Qiao Xuan's heart moved, and she smiled and said, "There are many strawberry seedlings in my garden. These strawberries are very easy to care for, and they are good at dividing. One plant becomes two plants, and two plants become four plants. They grow very fast. If Miss Fu doesn't mind, how about I give some seedlings to Miss Fu to take away when the time comes?"
"Is it really possible?"
Princess Shuangfu's eyes lit up, she was surprised, happy and surprised.
Qiao Xuan couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw her reaction, so she nodded happily and said with a smile: "Of course!"
"Okay, that's great! Mrs. Shao, thank you! I will definitely ask someone to take good care of it!"
It was no wonder she was so excited, no one had ever given her anything like this. This was the first time in her life that someone had given her a gift other than a "reward" from her relatives.
"Miss Fu, you're welcome!" Qiao Xuan smiled and lowered her voice and whispered, "I still have potatoes, which are also good things. Why don't I give some to you?"
"Okay, okay! Thank you, Mrs. Shao!" Princess Shuangfu smiled sweetly and became even happier.
The snacks were served soon. They were exquisitely shaped, with only four small pieces on each plate. Therefore, even though there were more than ten plates, it did not feel too much.
Qiao Xuan smiled and asked Princess Shuangfu to pick up the chopsticks, "These are all freshly made, Miss Fu, please try them."
"Mrs. Shao, you try it too!"
Princess Shuangfu had never eaten out, so she was naturally included in the meals and snacks in the palace. However, it was not easy to eat fresh ones.
Usually the snacks sent to her by the imperial kitchen were from the previous day. Even the insulated food boxes could not keep the meals warm in the winter and they had to be heated up over a small stove before they could be eaten.
Today's meal feels fresh and exciting.
Qiao Xuan specially introduced her to the crab roe steamed buns and bamboo shoots and shredded chicken dumplings. After tasting them, Princess Shuangfu's eyes lit up and she nodded in delight, "Very fresh and really delicious! I didn't expect the dim sum chef in this teahouse to have such good skills!"
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Jinquanlou is a time-honored teahouse in Beijing. I heard it's nearly a hundred years old, so it's naturally well-known. Miss Fu, try this radish cake, it's also delicious, and you must eat it while it's hot."
"good!"
Princess Shuangfu had a big appetite. She tried everything and praised it highly.
After breakfast, the two of them became more familiar with each other, and their jokes and conversations became more relaxed and natural.
Qiao Xuan was relieved. Princess Shuangfu really had a good temper.
