Chapter 612: Close Friends

The barbecue made by the imperial chef is not in skewers, but in pieces, cut into neat squares. The roasted skin is slightly charred and sprinkled with condiments. It is crispy and salty when bitten, and the inside is very tender. The meat has distinct layers and the soup is rich and fragrant. It tastes extremely delicious.

Xinbao ate seven or eight pieces in one go with some porridge.

While she was eating, pheasants and birds kept flying over here! !

Then they were all caught by the scattered shadow guards.

Finally, Xinbao got anxious and shouted, "Don't come over here! Isn't it good to be alive?! Life is precious!!"

Everyone was laughing, and while they were laughing, they couldn't help but feel awe.

High-ranking officials and dignitaries have a lot of experience and think a lot, so they are the hardest to fool. However, they are also the most in awe of these mysterious things.

The lunch took more than an hour.

Even the gardeners had arrived, and during their meal breaks they were picking wolfberries.

After Madam Lin finished eating and packed up, Xinbao asked someone to take the black wolfberries that had been picked away. Yan Shichang did not leave, but stayed to continue eating with them.

Over there, Emperor Mingpei had already asked twice, and then he heard that he had returned. He first heard the sound of footsteps, and then he ran to the door and said, "Yeah yeah! Xinbao is back!!"

Emperor Mingpeidi responded and looked up. Tuanzi’s little face was flushed from the heat and he poked his head out from the door.

He also instructed Fang Wuyou: "Wash this and give it to Yeye to eat."

Then she threw into his hand a handkerchief bag that looked a little dirty.

Fang Wuyou: "..."

Tuanzi turned around and ran away, went back to take a shower and change clothes, and came back after she was done. Then she climbed directly on Mingpeidi, held his face with both hands, and kissed him.

Mingpei Emperor put down the book with a smile: "Is it fun?"

"It's fun." Xinbao said, "But Xinbao doesn't want to go there anymore."

"What's wrong?" Emperor Mingpei asked with a smile, "Are you tired?"

"I'm not tired," Xinbao said, "it's just those birds that keep flying around me. My wife said it might be because of the little phoenix..."

Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "Isn't that good?"

Tuanzi's expression was a little confused: "That's right, Xinbao thought that they thought we were in the same group, so they ran over to play with Xinbao. We should have been close friends...but we caught it and ate it. How surprised and disappointed it must have been!"

Emperor Mingpei laughed and said, "Then just let him go."

Tuanzi: “…”

The roasted pheasant is so tender.

The rabbit meat is so chewy when it is roasted.

It has a crispy outside, tender inside, and a salty and crispy texture. When I think about it after I’m full, I still feel a little greedy.

The close friends were so delicious that she really had no choice.

She licked her lips with aftertaste and looked at him with her little eyes. Mingpeidi understood and nodded.

Tuanzi said sadly: "I didn't expect that Xinbao is actually a hypocritical person..."

Emperor Mingpei casually proposed a solution: "Then let's have a vegetarian meal tonight?"

Tuanzi smacked her lips and looked at him sincerely. After a while, she said weakly, "For such an important matter, how about we pick an auspicious day? Or we can ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate it. Xinbao can wait for it."

Emperor Mingpei couldn't help laughing: "Any plans for tonight?"

"Yes, yes," Tuanzi said, "Because there were several delicious dishes at noon, Xinbao asked the chef to make them for Yeye in the evening."

Emperor Mingpei couldn't help laughing, then nodded seriously: "For such an important matter, let's wait for Yeye to ask the Imperial Observatory to calculate it first, and we shouldn't do it casually."

Tuanzi nodded: "That's right."

Emperor Mingpei suppressed his laughter and changed the subject: "Have you found a powerful medicine?"

"Oh, right!" Xinbao almost forgot: "Butler Fang, Butler Fang!!"

Fang Wuyou gritted his teeth and handed over a small plate of washed black wolfberries. Emperor Mingpei frowned and said, "What is this? This color looks like it's poisonous."

Xinbao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we just want to eat it, not look at it, so what's the big deal if it's ugly! This is black wolfberry, because it has a lot of anthocyanins, so the color is black and purple, very healthy!"

She continued to talk about its efficacy again, and then invited Emperor Mingpei: "Yeah, try it."

Emperor Mingpei actually tasted it and found it sweet, with a herbal aroma, and tasted quite good.

Xinbao said, "Yeye, eat them fresh for a few days. Don't eat too much at a time. Just a dozen or so will be fine! Before we return to the capital, Xinbao will help Yeye dry them. Then Yeye can soak them in water. Use warm water, which is good for the body. When they are soaked, they should be blue with fine threads."

Emperor Mingpei frowned and nodded. Anyway, the blue and purple colors didn't taste very good.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Xinbao ate another one himself, and Emperor Mingpei remembered and asked, "Did someone annoy Xinbao again?"

"No?" Tuanzi said, and thought about it: "Yeah, are you talking about Lu Jiazheng? Xinbao is no longer angry with him! Xinbao is not the kind of person who holds grudges."

Well, he really doesn’t bear grudges. He will take revenge on the spot if there is any.

As the grandfather and grandson were talking, someone came in to report: "Your Majesty, young prince, the tree your prince wanted has been transported back."

Xinbao climbed down quickly.

Emperor Mingpei said, "Leave some in the flowerpots and plant them again when we return to the capital."

Xinbao responded and trotted out.

By now the wolfberries on the top had been picked. Xinbao asked someone to call Bai Gusheng and Xue Xuanji over, and then asked someone to bring a shallow large square basin, and then directed the two people to prune the branches and do cuttings.

First, plant the ones that were to be brought back to the capital, leaving three with old roots. Then find a suitable place in Shengping Palace and plant the rest in the ground. When you come back next year, it will have become a small wolfberry garden.

Yu Wai also took small flower pots and planted some flowers separately. When they grow up, he can give two pots to the Xue family and two pots to the Xia Yi Valley. He can give them to whoever he likes.

While he was busy, Bai Gusheng had already asked the same question several times in a mumbling manner, and Xue Xuanji understood it all just by listening.

Then Xinbao taught them how to dry the fresh wolfberries.

It’s good to be a master. You just need to give instructions and your apprentices will do the rest.

Xinbao sat on the chair and watched. Yuan Shenjue lowered his head and asked her, "Do you want to plant it...?"

Tuanzi understood and felt the space.

I haven't found any fresh herbs recently, and there's still no medicinal field in the space. Xinbao took advantage of no one's attention and directly put a few pots into the space, then sat back leisurely.

Seeing Ah Ping coming over from a distance, Xinbao quickly said to her, "Xinbao has to accompany Yeye for dinner tonight, so she can't accompany A-niang."

Ah Ping smiled and said, "Yes, Your Highness. It just so happens that the Queen said that she has something to do tonight, so she wants you to accompany the Emperor for dinner."

Xinbao asked curiously, "What's the matter, mother?"

Ah Ping said, "It is said that Mrs. Feng has some familiar acquaintances who have been called over to pay respects to the Empress."

Tuanzi: “Oh.”
