Chapter 162: Raising a Monkey
After Qiao Yihuan returned from the study, he was absent-minded all the way.
"Miss, what should we do?"
Qiao Yihuan lowered her eyes and said sadly, "Xiaoying, I really want to go to the Spring Search Conference. I know that I am just a concubine's daughter and my status is low and I am not qualified to go, but I want to take this opportunity to meet His Highness and explain to him all the grievances I have suffered."
Xiaoying wiped her tears and coaxed her back to Mingxiang Pavilion, but she did not stay to guard her. Instead, she found an excuse to go to the toilet and quietly left through the back door to Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
"Young Marquis?" Xiaoying saw Jiang Qiyun getting off the carriage when she was away from Xu Yuan. She was worrying whether the doorman of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion would help her pass the message, but she didn't expect to be so lucky.
Jiang Qiyun stopped and said, "Xiaoying? Why are you here?"
Xiaoying immediately said, "Young Marquis, I came to see you so late because I have something important to ask you to help my young lady with."
Jiang Qiyun paused for a moment, "What happened to Sister Yihuan?"
Xiaoying said, "The master only wanted to bring his wife and the second young lady to the Spring Festival. My young lady actually wanted to go too. She rarely travels far away. It was not easy to get this opportunity. Seeing the young lady so lonely and unable to eat, I felt really distressed, so I thought of asking the young marquis for help."
Jiang Qiyun straightened his lips and seemed a little hesitant.
Xiaoying quickly added, "Young Marquis, you are the best person to my young lady. Please help my young lady. She has been really sad recently. Various things have been put on her. She can't eat or sleep well and has lost a lot of weight. I really can't bear to see her like this."
Jiang Qiyun let out a long sigh, "But Minister Qiao refused to take Sister Yihuan with him. If I go and tell Minister Qiao, he will definitely ignore me."
Minister Qiao is not just a third-rank minister. The aristocratic families of the previous dynasty compete with the royal family, and the aristocratic families’ voice is no less than that of the royal family.
The academic books, land annexations, and generations of officialdom in the hands of aristocratic families are difficult to uproot easily.
Although the power of the aristocratic families has been gradually weakened with the change of dynasties, the Qiao family, as the head of the aristocratic families, still has a higher status than the prime minister.
If for no other reason, it is because Minister Qiao has no son, so the threat to the royal family is greatly reduced, so he can be reused and even used with confidence.
With such a person, even if my father went there, it is not certain that Minister Qiao would agree to anything he said, let alone myself?
Xiaoying's pupils moved rapidly, and she seemed to have thought of something and suggested, "Young Marquis, I have a way that may work."
"Tell me about it."
The east is about to dawn and the imperial palace has been awakened.
Inside the Yamato-den, soldiers in silver armor were already standing in a majestic formation, waiting for the emperor to leave the hall.
The princes and ministers dressed in court robes waited quietly for the imperial arrival until the bells of the morning rang, and the emperor walked out of the hall surrounded by stars.
In an instant, all the ministers knelt down and kowtowed. The sound was like thunder and startled the birds flying on the palace wall.
The sound of horse hooves and the rolling of wheels opened the curtain of this grand spring search towards Shanglin Paddock.
Qiao Wanyan and other officials and their wives could not enter the palace to accompany the emperor, so they all waited at the city gate. At this moment, she did not sit in her own carriage, but was invited by He Baozhu.
The carriage gradually followed and drove away from the original place. He Baozhu took a small porcelain bowl out of the food box and said, "I know you got up late, so you probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? Try this. I personally watched over the people making it."
She originally wanted to do it herself, but Wei Mo didn't let her, saying that she was of noble status and didn't need to do it herself. She sat aside and told the palace maid to do it bit by bit.
Although He Baozhu had been here for some time, she still pinched her thighs to prevent herself from laughing every time she heard someone say that she was of noble status as a modern ox or horse.
Qiao Wanyan looked at the black stuff on it and couldn't help feeling a little disgusted. "It's all burnt. Can it still be eaten?"
"It's edible!" He Baozhu took another bowl and took a big bite in front of her. "It's delicious. It's really good. It worked the first time I asked someone to try it, so I brought it here especially for you to try."
Qiao Wanyan took a small bite perfunctorily, and her eyes, which had been dull just now, suddenly brightened.
"What is this? It's delicious!"
He Baozhu snorted with pride and said proudly, "This is called caramel pudding! When I was in Yunxi City, I had a girl named Momo who knew a lot and told me a lot of interesting things, but unfortunately she passed away later. Soap is one of them. I will tell you everything I make that is delicious and fun in the future!"
She is a time-traveler, but she doesn't say it.
Push all the weird things onto a non-existent nanny, and even if there are other time-traveling women who notice it, just deny it.
Let others mistakenly believe that the nanny is the time-traveling girl, and everything he knows is heard from the nanny.
She doesn't have such big ambitions. With such a stable life, she must enjoy her life and spend her time doing what she wants to do!
"Caramel pudding." Qiao Wanyan repeated, "I like it. The status of caramel pudding is now second only to osmanthus cake!"
Crane Pearl: “….”
Do you like osmanthus cake so much?
He Baozhu glanced at the caramel pudding in her hand and sighed.
You are such a useless thing!
It can’t beat osmanthus cake!
"Try this!" He Baozhu took out some French fries and ketchup, but they were not to Qiao Wanyan's taste.
“It’s not tasty!”
These three simple words were like a sharp sword piercing He Baozhu's heart.
Meibao speaks so directly...
"This is actually very delicious when it's freshly fried, but it's a little soft after a while. I'll have someone fry it and you can try it. The taste will definitely be different from what it tastes like now."
Qiao Wanyan nodded.
What kind of life did the Tenth Princess live in Yunxi City? She thought something like potatoes was a delicacy?
Pitiful.
At that time, on the other side, in Jin's carriage, Yun Yao was playing with the Lu Ban lock for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She was so angry that she opened the window and threw the Lu Ban lock out.
Jin shook her head helplessly. Why was this child so noisy?
She was having a good time with her husband, but the child was afraid that she would be bored and insisted on getting in the carriage to keep her company.
It didn't help to relieve her boredom, but she became so annoyed by playing with the toys.
How did Yanyan keep this girl around for such a long time without getting annoyed? That child is not a patient person.
Yun Yao picked up a shuttlecock and said excitedly, "Madam, let's play shuttlecock? The carriage is big enough, so we can play!"
Jin: “….”
Yanyan has never been a playful person since she was young. As soon as she was old enough to learn to read, she liked reading and writing. Otherwise, she liked all kinds of exquisite hairpins and jewelry, and would sit in front of the mirror and dress herself up beautifully.
Now that she met this girl, she finally experienced what it felt like to raise a naughty monkey.
