"That's good," Mei Ya heaved a long sigh of relief. As she lowered the curtain, she said to Zhong Mingwei, "I wonder if the chef from the capital is as good as the chef from Zhenweizhai. I'm hungry."
"Then let's give a score to the master chef from the capital later?" Zhong Mingwei said with a smile. He got off the carriage first, then reached out to help Mei Ya get down, and the two of them walked into the gate together.
"Your subordinate greets the Prince and Princess! May you be safe and sound!" As soon as Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya entered the gate, two rows of people came forward to salute them in unison. When they looked closely, they realized that it was Kong Wenmin with a dozen imperial guards.
"Da Kong Guard? Why are you here?" Mei Ya was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. "I'm just guarding the house, why do you dare to trouble Da Kong Guard?"
"In reply to your question, Princess, I couldn't sit still when I heard that Master and Madam had arrived in the capital, so I hurried over to pay my respects to Master and Madam," Kong Wenmin said with a smile, "I hope I didn't disturb Master and Madam's rest."
"It's okay. You're not someone else. Why bother me?" Meiya shook her head and said with a smile, "It's still early. Come in and talk."
"Let's talk after dinner." Zhong Mingwei said with a sullen face. He looked around but didn't see any servants. Just when he was wondering, he heard Kong Wenmin speak again.
"I know that you and your wife have just come out of the palace and must be hungry, so I took the initiative to go to Baiweilou to buy some wine and food. I hope you and your wife will not mind." Kong Wenmin said with a smile.
Zhong Mingwei glanced at Kong Wenmin without saying anything, then turned and walked towards the courtyard. Mei Ya was busy saying to Kong Wenmin, "Great Guard Kong, thank you very much. Let's eat and talk at the same time."
"Yes, thank you, ma'am." Kong Wenmin, Mei Ya and Pang Yi followed Zhong Mingwei into the kitchen.
Kong Wenmin bought six lunch boxes of food. When he put the food on the table one by one, Meiya couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She was already very hungry, not to mention there was a large plate of roast duck right in front of her. Meiya felt a little restless just by smelling the food, but she was too embarrassed to pick up her chopsticks. She just sat there, listening to Kong Wenmin and Pang Yi chattering, she felt annoyed. She had a good meal but she didn't want to eat it. Why were they talking so much nonsense?
Mei Ya was just getting impatient when she saw Zhong Mingwei rolled up a roll of roast duck and put it in the bowl in front of her. Mei Ya was stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lips and smiled, then lowered her head to eat the roll of roast duck.
The roast duck in Beijing is so delicious... No, no, no, it’s the roast duck rolled by Zhong Mingwei that is so delicious.
hey-hey.
"Guardian Kong, how come we don't even have a housekeeper or servants in our mansion?" Pang Yi looked at Kong Wenmin with a puzzled look on his face. "According to the rules, when His Majesty grants a mansion to a prince, he will also grant a group of servants. How come we don't have a single servant in our mansion?" At this point, Pang Yi took a sip of tea, and as if he remembered something, he looked at Kong Wenmin again, "Besides, how can we let the Imperial Guards guard the house for the prince's wife? Guardian Kong, what exactly does His Majesty mean? Do you know the inside story?"
"Yes, according to the usual rules, servants are indeed sent from the palace to serve in the palace, but His Majesty is worried that ordinary palace servants cannot figure out His Majesty and Madam's preferences and cannot serve them well. Most importantly, they are worried that it is not safe and appropriate, so he did not send servants to come. He thought of letting the Imperial Guards come to serve first, and then His Majesty and Madam will choose appropriate servants to enter the palace in the future," Kong Wenmin explained. "Besides, the Imperial Guards are sent to guard the palace because His Majesty's personal soldiers are all in Ningguta and cannot be brought here. So His Majesty sent the Imperial Guards to take over. If His Majesty recruits a new batch of personal soldiers in the future, the Imperial Guards can naturally be withdrawn at that time."
