Chapter 433 The Importance of a Good Cook
Pei Ji was making a complaint. The emperor couldn't bear to see the former crown prince who had rebelled.
He is even more tolerant towards the current prince.
If the emperor cannot make a decision in the end, when the imperial concubine and the prince come to power, not only the country, but also Pei Ji, Zheng Ci and others will not be able to escape.
"Will you be in danger?" Zheng Ci looked at him in shock.
"No, you stay here. I have someone block the news. No one will know that you are here."
"Is there really no danger?" Zheng Ci asked repeatedly in disbelief.
"Really." Pei Ji answered again, "I will come to find you after I finish the matter. Otherwise, you can never come out again."
"Okay, I understand. Let me take care of Zhaogui at home."
"Thank you for your hard work. Is Hu Zi well behaved? Did he bother you?"
Zheng Ci thought of her son and smiled. "It's new for him to be here these past few days. He's having so much fun playing with Zheng Tang every day. It's really saved me a lot of trouble."
Hearing her say this, Pei Ji felt relieved.
His biggest concern was the safety of his wife and children. The prince had someone go to the Pei family and kidnap Old Master Pei. Pei Ji ignored them completely, and Shao Rong was also captured, her life or death unknown.
Since I am determined not to surrender to the prince, I think he will definitely torture us both in many ways.
Shao Rong deserves what she gets, Master Pei...
Although Pei Ji had given up on him, he couldn't bear to see him being humiliated, and secretly sent someone to replace him. He was frustrated and frightened, and he was in a state of panic for several days after being captured.
When they were rescued, they were already a little scared.
Pei Ji thought of his once majestic and arrogant father, and then looked at his current hunched and gray-haired father, and a feeling of sadness arose in his heart.
I feel sad and sigh.
After spending a whole day with his wife and children, Pei Ji left quietly before dawn.
He couldn't stay here any longer. It was dangerous for Zheng Ci and everyone else. The Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine were watching his every move at all times. If he stayed here any longer, their whereabouts would be exposed.
Pei Ji got out of bed quietly, mounted his horse and left in the dark.
Zheng Ci didn't open his eyes until the person was completely gone, and looked at the disappeared figure.
"Ma'am, why are you awake?"
Zheng Ci sat up, "He's gone?"
Wanxiang nodded, "Yes, the master is gone."
Zheng Ci was very calm, "He was implicated in us, and he didn't want to make me sad when he said goodbye to me." It seems that when he said yesterday that nothing would happen, he was not completely sure.
That’s right, the dynasty is updated and repeated.
He was involved in the matter and became an important link, but he was not omnipotent, so how could he be sure that he would be the winner?
Zheng Ci could do nothing but pray silently that God would stand on her and the others' side.
"Tell the guards on the farm to increase patrols and arrest anyone suspicious they encounter."
"Yes." Wanxiang replied, "The food that Madam asked me to buy has been delivered to the farm. It's enough for everyone to eat for more than a month. But why didn't Madam ask me to buy more?"
"If we suddenly buy such a large amount of food, I'm afraid people will notice. But even though it's a bit more food for one month, no one will find it unusual."
Wanxiang understood and nodded, "I understand."
Fortunately, they lived on a farm. The advantage of the farm was that they planted various fruits and vegetables and raised a lot of chickens, ducks and geese.
Even the rabbits were raised for dozens of days, so everyone had enough meat to eat.
As the two were talking, they heard Hu Zi's "Yiyaya" cry from next door.
Her eyes were gentle, "Go, bring him to me. I'm afraid he's awake and hungry."
Hu Zi was eating more and more now, perhaps because he was growing. He had increased his meat porridge from half a bowl to a whole bowl, which he could finish. Zheng Ci let him eat as long as he was not too full.
Hu Zi came over quickly. He was still sleepy and not fully awake. When he saw Zheng Ci, he wanted to hug her. Only after Zheng Ci held him in her arms did he look obedient and lean on her chest.
"Huzi, do you miss your mother?"
"Brew, brew." Hu Zi opened his mouth, which only had a few front teeth, and saliva flowed out as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zheng Ci habitually wiped it with a handkerchief and said helplessly, "When will you stop drooling?"
The doctor said that the child's teeth have not grown in completely, so drooling is natural.
If not for this, Zheng Ci would have thought that the child was sick.
"Go and get him some porridge, and have the cook cook it soft."
Wanxiang: "Yes, I will go right away."
Zheng Ci held Hu Zi in his arms, looked at the night outside, and calmed down.
While Pei Ji is away, she has to protect this place well. There are people she cares about here, and she can't lose anyone.
When Wanxiang arrived in the kitchen, the cook was already busy.
From a distance, you can see the heat from the kitchen and the bursts of fragrance.
Wanxiang rubbed her cold hands and walked in. "Cook, is the Master's porridge ready?"
The cook poked her head out from the stove and said, "Alright, alright, I've been cooking it since early morning, so now's the perfect time. By the way, can you take the young lady's porridge too?"
Zheng Tang likes sweet food, especially lotus seeds, lilies and rock sugar.
"Yes, I'll take it all."
Recently, Qiao Yu loves to have breakfast at Zheng Ci's place, as if her anxious heart can be calmed down as long as she comes here.
When Wanxiang returned to the yard, Qiao Yu had indeed arrived.
"I was just about to find someone to inform you, but I didn't expect you to have brought back their breakfast." Zheng Ci said with a smile.
"I guessed that the Madam might come, so I brought them back together."
As Wanxiang spoke, she opened the lunch box and placed a plate of food on the table, which was soon full.
Qiao Yu sat down a little embarrassedly, "I come here every day, am I disturbing you?"
Zheng Ci waved her hand nonchalantly, "Of course not. You like to eat breakfast with me, and even Hu Zi enjoys it more. There are only a few of us on the farm, so why should you be so polite?"
Qiao Yu felt relieved after hearing this.
Although she is in a much better mood now, she still can't help feeling scared.
Zheng Ci is smart and has a lot of ideas. If she stays here, Zheng Tang will be safe and she will be safe too.
As long as Zheng Ci doesn't dare to leave, she wants to come every day.
"This porridge is delicious. Look how happily she eats it." Qiao Yu smiled and fed her daughter a spoonful of porridge. Zheng Tang smacked her lips and quickly swallowed it.
A pair of beautiful eyes on her fair face were looking at them with a smile.
"It's a good thing the kitchen is good at making delicious porridge, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do."
They came in a hurry, and fearing that their whereabouts would be discovered, they naturally did not dare to take the cook with them. Fortunately, the cook on the farm was also skilled. They could let the adults go, but they could not make do with the children.
