Chapter 10 Chef Ji
After Ji Changqing finished speaking, he looked at Feng Qingsui steadily.
She showed a very natural look of surprise: "Beaten to death by a dog?"
"I'm lying. Princess Shouyang couldn't stand hearing him say his son was insane, so she ordered him to be beaten to death."
Feng Qingsui was silent for a moment, then said with a sullen face, "Being a doctor in Xi State is really too dangerous."
"If someone intentionally kills someone and is asked to pay with their life, that's fine. But if someone is given a diagnosis before treatment even begins, they're also going to die. If this continues, who would want to be a doctor?"
She bowed solemnly to Ji Changqing with her fists clasped.
"As the Prime Minister, you must have a deeper understanding than I do. I sincerely hope that you will soon push for legislation in Xi State to protect the personal safety and rights of doctors and severely punish those who violently assault doctors."
Ji Changqing: “…”
He took a deep look at the female liar and nodded.
"You're right. We should legislate to protect doctors. However, Doctor Xun wasn't beaten to death; he was forced to death."
Feng Qingsui opened his lips slightly, glanced at him, turned his head and said to Qi:
"Mother, look at Second Master. He has nothing better to do than to make fun of me. He even jokes about matters that involve human lives."
Qi naturally sided with her and glared at her son: "Stop scaring people here and go cook your food."
Ji Changqing smiled and said respectfully, "Son, I'll go right away."
As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he stopped smiling.
Although Feng Qingsui concealed it well, he was sure that Xun Shan's death was related to her.
After calling Baifu and giving him some instructions, he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen.
An hour later, a table was set up in Ci'an Hall and filled with dishes.
There are only three of us, so it doesn’t matter whether we sit at separate tables or not.
They all sat together.
Although Feng Qingsui grew up in a charity institution and had never eaten any good food in her childhood, after traveling out of Beijing with her master, because her master had no other hobbies but delicious food, they ate wherever they went and tasted all the delicacies from all corners of the world.
She did develop some appreciation.
The dishes made by Ji Changqing tasted very good, and he was more than qualified to be a chef in a famous restaurant.
She usually eats at most one bowl of rice, but she ordered one more bowl for this meal.
After dinner, she asked curiously, "Why did Second Master want to cook?"
Could it be that when he was in his hometown of Jiangzhou, his family was too poor to afford a cook?
Mrs. Qi laughed at the side. "It's because he's picky. He always finds fault with the chef's cooking and has driven several chefs away. So I just let him cook by himself."
Feng Qingsui: “…”
My master is also a very picky eater. If he were in the capital, he might be able to have a meal with Ji Changqing.
"Second Master is amazing," she complimented him. "He cooks as he says he will. Among the top scholars in our Xi Kingdom, I think Second Master is the only one who can handle both the imperial court and the kitchen."
Ji Changqing glanced at her sideways.
Feng Qingsui continued, "I heard that Second Master also writes excellent lyrics. I wonder what new lyrics he has written recently. Could I read a few?"
Ji Changqing said calmly, "I'm busy with court affairs and have no time to write poems."
"So," Feng Qingsui said with a look of disappointment, but he quickly cheered up again, "What about what I wrote before?"
As long as it has not been widely spread, it should be considered a new word.
Ji Changqing: "I burned them all for my elder brother."
Feng Qingsui: “…”
"No wonder everyone on the street is singing other people's lyrics these days, and you never hear Erye's lyrics at all."
Ji Changqing naturally didn't fall for her provocation and chuckled, "Sister-in-law, it's better for you to listen to less empty words and songs."
Feng Qingsui: “…”
She looked at him in shock, then quickly lowered her head.
"I didn't expect that the second master would write that kind of words..."
Ji Changqing almost broke through the defense.
Qi was furious: "Why did you burn all these messy things for your eldest brother? It's really outrageous."
Ji Changqing took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I have something else to do. I'll go back to the courtyard first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After returning to the study, he summoned Yan Chi and said with gritted teeth, "Keep a close eye on Feng Shi. Report everything, no matter how big or small."
He just didn't believe that he couldn't catch her pigtails!
Yan Chi accepted the order.
Feng Qingsui failed to get the poem from Ji Changqing, so he asked Wuhua to go outside and find a scholar to buy it.
When the scholars heard that the words were enough to be used as a deposit at Fanlou, they all ridiculed Wuhua mercilessly.
"If we could write such good words, would we still need these few taels of silver from you?"
Feng Qingsui couldn't even produce the precious floral ink.
Only Bai Jin can still try harder.
She does have some ability to make money, otherwise she wouldn't be able to support a big eater like Wuhua.
It’s just that making medicine is a troublesome thing and it takes some time.
Wuhua suggested: "How about I take you to Fanlou at night? If we find that Mo, we can force Qiao Zhenzhen to tell us who sent him."
Feng Qingsui was somewhat moved.
He immediately shook his head.
"It's not appropriate. If Qiao Zhenzhen has ink, she will be suspected and may be deliberately misleading. If she says it was a gift from the emperor, we can't disprove it."
Wuhua frowned: "But if it really is her, she will lie if we go to see her according to Fanlou's conditions."
"You're right, let's be polite first and then use force."
Feng Qingsui was making medicine while collecting information about Qiao Zhenzhen.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather is getting colder.
That day, she had just emerged from bed when a maid excitedly entered the courtyard and reported, "Madam, Princess Shouyang has sent someone to bring you a gift."
She perked up.
It seems that Master Xuan's health is improving.
She glanced briefly at the lavish gifts Princess Shouyang had sent: a dozen rolls of brocade, two boxes of pearls, four boxes of hairpins and jewelry, six fox furs...
I feel like I can easily collect a hundred gold coins without having to sell medicine.
He happily accompanied the servants of the princess's mansion to meet Princess Shouyang.
Princess Shouyang beamed upon seeing her. "Ever since Xuan'er gave up the foods on your list, she hasn't had any convulsions! The tremors are decreasing day by day, and her mind is becoming clearer day by day!"
Ji Xuan, who had lost some weight, leaned beside her and stuck out her tongue at Feng Qingsui when she heard the words.
Feng Qingsui: "Congratulations, Master Xuan."
Princess Shouyang excitedly shared half an hour with her before letting her go.
Ji Peiyuan was also present, but remained silent.
Evil deeds are rewarded, and the words of thanks hurt his lips.
As soon as Feng Qingsui left, he found an excuse to leave the house and go see Jin.
Jin hadn't seen him for more than ten days. When she saw him, she was extremely happy. She immediately sent her maid to the street to buy wine and food, and sat down with him to eat slowly.
Halfway through the meal, he asked with concern, "Master Xuan, are you feeling better?"
"Great."
Jin was stunned for a moment.
"Are you saying it's better or not so good?"
"It's fine now." Ji Peiyuan said with a complicated expression, "Feng has taken care of it."
What? !
Jin's eyes suddenly widened like a frog's.
"What's the one that woman is looking at?!"
After hearing the treatment process, she almost bit her silver teeth to pieces.
Just change the recipe!
It's really like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. How come that little bitch surnamed Feng has such good luck!
She gritted her teeth and congratulated him, but after Ji Peiyuan left, her face turned as dark as a jar of soy sauce.
Not only did I not kill that little bitch, I also cured Ji Xuan. I ended up losing more than I gained. I can't let this go!
She racked her brains and finally came up with a clever idea.
