Chapter 148 Pigsty
"Don't worry, I'm doing fine out there, and I even brought back a lot of stuff."
After Xiao Xixi finished speaking, she led everyone to see the two pigs and two geese.
She put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "From now on, we can add two more dishes to our table!"
All the palace maids and eunuchs fell into unspeakable silence when they saw the two huge white pigs weighing more than 200 kilograms.
After a long while, Baoqin finally spoke with difficulty.
"My dear, do you want to raise pigs in our backyard?"
Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.
Baoqin struggled desperately: "But none of us knows how to raise pigs!"
"I've thought of this a long time ago. I specially brought back a pig-raising expert." Xiao Xixi quickly called Xing'er over.
"This is Xing'er. I bought her from outside the palace. She has already been approved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She will be responsible for raising pigs, chickens, ducks and geese for me from now on. She also farmed before, so she can help with farming as well."
Xiao Xixi pointed at Baoqin and introduced her: "This is Baoqin, the head maid of our Qingge Palace. You will be under her care from now on."
Xing'er bowed to Baoqin.
"Sister Baoqin."
Baoqin was still immersed in the shock of raising pigs in the backyard of Qingge Palace and couldn't come back to her senses. When she heard Xing'er's words, she just responded casually in a trance.
"Um."
Zhao Xian said awkwardly, "Xiao Liangdi, where should these... these pigs and geese be moved to?"
Xiao Xixi originally wanted to let them move directly to the backyard, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was not a good idea. If the guards found out that she was raising chickens and growing vegetables in the backyard of Qingge Palace, she would be in trouble.
So she said, "Just put it in the yard."
The Yu Lin soldiers placed the three cages and some other earthenware in the yard, then said goodbye and left.
Xiao Xixi asked everyone to quickly move the pigs and geese to the backyard, and the local utensils were taken to the warehouse.
Since there are two more pigs in the backyard, we need to build another pigpen.
As for the two big white geese, let them squeeze in with the ducks for the time being.
The eunuchs immediately got busy.
They went to the imperial garden and brought back some rubble, piled it up in a circle next to the duck pen, covered it with mud, built a shed with wood on top, covered it with tarpaulin, and finally installed a wooden door. A simple version of the pigpen was built.
Two big white pigs were driven into the pigsty.
It was getting late today and there was no time to make the trough, so Xing'er found two large wooden basins, filled them with the pig feed and water she had just cooked, and put them in the pigsty.
As soon as the two pigs saw the delicious food, they immediately felt better and rushed over to eat it.
After feeding the pigs, Xing'er turned around to feed the chickens, ducks and geese, like a hardworking little bee.
Before entering the palace, she was quite nervous, fearing that she would seem out of place after entering the palace. Now, looking at the chicken coop, duck pen, pigpen and vegetable garden in front of her, she found that this place was not much different from the village where she had lived before!
She loves this place so much!
Xiao Xixi returned to the familiar place and immediately climbed onto the beauty bed and lay down, turning into a big salty fish again.
She sincerely sighed: "It's still the most comfortable to lie down here!"
Baoqin first arranged a place for Xing'er to live, and then counted the things Xiao Liangdi brought back.
After everything was settled, she went into the house. Seeing Xiao Liangdi's lazy look, she felt angry and amused.
"Look how tired you are. Someone who doesn't know you would think you are not going back to your parents' home, but to some faraway place."
Xiao Xixi thought to herself, I just went to a place far away from home.
