Chapter 49: Your Majesty, something bad has happened. There is a new baby in the princess’ courtyard!
Xiao Chenyu blinked his big, sinister eyes and poked his two little index fingers at me in a hushed tone:
"Yu'er wants to... wants to eat the thin cake made by mother..."
"...What kind of cake?" Yun Qingqing looked confused.
The ghost doll said it again, but she still didn't understand.
After stroking her forehead for a while, she let out a long sigh:
"It's okay. Let me find out what kind of thin cake you are talking about..."
"Thin cake~!"
"Oh, I'll make it for you when I find someone who can make it."
Until then, let him stay with me.
then.
At dinner time, Xiao Changheng did not see his princess. When asked, he found out that she had something to do and was eating in her own courtyard.
Not long after that, Nan Zheng came to report, his face looked a little strange:
"Your Majesty, a servant said he saw the princess..."
"Hmm?" Xiao Changheng put down his chopsticks and waited for him to continue.
"Someone saw a baby in the princess's courtyard...it seemed like there was a new baby."
Xiao Changheng: “?”
Nan Zheng: "Well, Your Majesty, you heard it right, it's the baby..."
"Let's go," Xiao Changheng put down his chopsticks, "Let's go take a look."
When he arrived outside Yun Qingqing's room, a certain prince frowned.
Having been blind for several years, his other senses were very sharp. How come there was a hint of... the smell of burning incense in the room?
You can also hear the tender voices of children, there really are children talking!
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened, but before Xiao Changheng could say anything, a talisman flew out and stuck on his forehead.
Xiao Changheng: ...
Nan Zheng stroked his forehead silently and asked, "Princess, why are you still addicted to this?"
"Your Highness, could you please send someone to say hello in advance next time you show up? Xiao Yu'er is full of ghostly aura, and you are full of bad luck. If the two of you get together, I will be in a lot of trouble!" Yun Qingqing said, pinching her waist as she stood at the door.
"Xiao Yu'er?" Xiao Changheng narrowed his eyes and looked through her into the house.
Sure enough, I saw a baby about three or four years old, with a pale face and a talisman stuck on his forehead, squatting next to the incense burner, frowning and thinking.
There is also a plate of cakes next to the incense burner.
"This is not what mommy cooked, and it doesn't taste like this either..." the baby muttered while biting his fingers.
Yun Qingqing turned back and touched her forehead:
"We've hired three chefs and it still doesn't work. Can't you really make it just by listening to the description?"
"What are you doing?" Xiao Changheng looked at the scene and didn't quite understand.
Yun Qingqing stroked his chin and examined him for a moment, then asked:
"Have you ever heard of 'pocheng' cake?"
"I've heard of it. It's a kind of snack from the southern coastal areas. It tastes good. Why, you... or this kid wants to eat it?" Xiao Changheng seemed to understand a little.
Yun Qingqing widened her eyes:
"You really know! Then do you know where there is a cook who can make it? The Sixth Prince only needs this to be reincarnated."
Finally there was hope, and she wanted to send the Sixth Prince away quickly.
Xiao Changheng finally figured out what she was busy with and chuckled.
"I do know where there is someone who can do this, but I can't find him right now. I'll take you there after I return to Beijing."
"It's a deal!" Now that there was some clues, Yun Qingqing was no longer in a hurry.
"But before that, could you please stop sticking this thing on me?" Xiao Changheng pointed to his face.
"Haha, that's just a matter of urgency! Then I'll put the Sixth Prince into the talisman now, and you don't have to stick this on!"
Yun Qingqing was happy. She took out a talisman and put the ghost doll away. The prince's face was finally freed.
"Your Highness, is there anything else you need? If it's nothing important..." Let's talk about it tomorrow.
She yawned loudly, the sound was unclear.
"It's okay, just rest if you're tired." Xiao Changheng's eyes deepened.
Yun Qingqing rubbed her eyes and went into the bedroom.
Nan Zheng pushed Xiao Changheng out of the courtyard and heard the prince say:
"Have meals ready in the kitchen. She didn't have dinner, so she will be hungry if she wakes up in the middle of the night."
"Yes, sir!" Nan Zheng responded promptly, without even noticing a smile on his face.
The only person who can make the prince so concerned is his own princess.
…
The autumn hunt officially began the next day.
Yun Qingqing originally thought that the autumn hunt would be a man's job, just like in previous years, and the women in the family would just have to look beautiful and wait.
But the emperor suddenly changed the rules today, saying that the leader of each team must bring his wife along.
It is said that the imperial teacher left a secret bag before he went into seclusion at night, saying that the situation in the northwest will change, and if not handled carefully, the country will be in great trouble.
Only the army of destiny can resolve this crisis, and which team this army of destiny is will be determined during this autumn hunt.
The generals of the army destined by heaven are blessed by their wives, which was also calculated by the national teacher. This is why this strange new rule came into being.
Yun Qingqing glanced at the prince's team and found that Yun Bailian had changed into light clothes suitable for cycling and wore a silver mask on her face, looking quite heroic.
Ye Zhishen was indeed in the prince's team.
Xiao Zirui was very proud and confident, and the Queen was looking at their group with great anticipation.
She knew it in her mind. They found so many excuses just to get Yun Bailian to participate in the autumn hunt. It seemed that they had already made up their mind.
It’s a pity that the evil spirit in that scumbag’s head is getting stronger and stronger. I don’t know where his confidence comes from.
Yun Qingqing was wondering whether she should remind Ye Zhishen again, when she suddenly saw Xiao Zirui meeting her gaze. His eyes deepened and a smile that he thought was handsome appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It was so greasy that she almost vomited her breakfast.
Yun Qingqing rolled her eyes and turned away.
That unlucky guy Ye Zhishen should just wish him good luck. At least he has her talisman, so he won't lose his life.
But even though she ignored others, others couldn't sit still.
Yun Bailian had just led her horse over when she saw Xiao Zirui smiling at Yun Qingqing from afar.
She immediately clenched her fists, walked straight to Yun Qingqing, and smiled softly, covering her mouth:
"Sister, why are you dressed like this? This autumn hunt is not about playing the piano or embroidering. You can't even ride a horse fast in this outfit, right? Aren't you afraid of holding back His Royal Highness the Regent?"
