Chapter 226 There’s no need for you to be upset!
Xiao Xixi sighed: "Concubine Bai is here. She is talking to the Crown Prince. It is not convenient for me to go in, so I have to stay with you for a while."
Baoqin became anxious when she heard this.
"Concubine Bai is definitely here to snatch the prince from you. Don't worry, I will accompany you to find the prince. We must not let Concubine Bai snatch the prince away!"
As she said this, she put down the dough she had half-kneaded, washed her hands hastily, and strode out.
When I got to the door, I found that Xiao Liangdi didn't follow me.
She looked back and saw Xiao Liangdi standing by the stove, reaching out to lift the lid of the pottery jar, looking extremely greedy. It was obvious that she did not take the threat posed by Concubine Bai seriously.
Baoqin was angry and anxious: "My dear, it's already this late, why are you still thinking about eating?!"
"No matter what time it is, don't forget to eat. As the saying goes, man is iron and rice is steel. If you skip a meal, you will feel hungry. What could be more important than being full in this world?" Xiao Xixi said as she opened the lid.
She leaned over and found that the ceramic jar was filled with three kinds of shark fins.
She was immediately excited.
"Today's dish is so delicious!"
Seeing that she wanted to pick up the food with chopsticks, Baoqin quickly stopped her: "The food is not cooked yet, you can't eat it!"
Xiao Xixi had no choice but to put down her chopsticks in disappointment.
Baoqin put the lid back on and turned around to see Xiao Liangdi running to dig out the eggs in the basket again.
Xiao Xixi selected two of the largest eggs, washed them, wrapped them in wet lotus leaves, and stuffed them into the stove, intending to stew the two eggs to try.
Baoqin quickly pushed her away and said, "Go and have a rest. I will take care of these things for you."
There was no place to sit in the kitchen, so Xiao Xixi had to leave the kitchen. She planned to pick pomegranates to eat, and happened to pass by an osmanthus tree on the way.
It is golden autumn, and the trees are filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.
She thought of sweet osmanthus candy, osmanthus cake, and osmanthus dumplings...
Oh no, I’m drooling.
So the plan of picking pomegranates turned into picking osmanthus flowers.
When Baoqin came out to look for her, she saw that she had already climbed up the osmanthus tree.
Baoqin was so frightened that she shouted in panic.
"My lady, please come down quickly! Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has met Concubine Bai, it doesn't mean that His Royal Highness doesn't like you anymore. There's no need for you to be upset!"
Xiao Xixi looked down at her, confused: "I'm not upset."
"If you are not desperate, why climb so high? What if you fall down? Please listen to me and don't get stuck in a dead end. Even if the Crown Prince really doesn't want you anymore, you still have me! I cook delicious food for you every day. Whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you!"
Baoqin was really anxious and her eyes were red.
Xiao Xixi had no choice but to slide down the tree trunk.
Baoqin quickly stepped forward to support her, looked her up and down twice, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she had no signs of injury.
Xiao Xixi said: "I want to eat osmanthus candy, osmanthus cake, and osmanthus dumplings."
Baoqin wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, I'll do it for you right away."
She paused, and finally reacted. The panic on her face quickly disappeared and turned into astonishment.
"My dear, are you climbing the tree to pick osmanthus flowers for food?"
Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.
Baoqin: “…”
Her face suddenly turned red and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
After a long while, Baoqin pretended to be calm and spoke again.
"Even if you want to pick osmanthus flowers, you should let the servants do it. You are a noble lady, how can you do such rough work? The osmanthus tree is so tall, what if you fall and get hurt?"
