Chapter 16 The Servant Forgot Miss Bai
"You are really embarrassing me. May I ask who you are?"
"Bai Qinghuan from the Bai Mansion."
Xishun's eyes lit up frighteningly after hearing this.
Is this the girl from the Bai family that Shufeng mentioned?
She is truly stunningly beautiful.
He became even more respectful: "Excuse me, nice to meet Miss Bai."
"Miss Bai, please come in."
"Thank you for your kindness, eunuch. It's too late today, Qinghuan won't bother you anymore. I made a few side dishes to thank the prince for his kindness today. I hope you will pass them on."
She looked at Xishun expectantly, hoping that he would take it.
Xishun's heart trembled. Even a eunuch like him couldn't stand this look. No wonder the prince was also tempted by this.
He carefully took the food box and said, "This... I will ask the prince for instructions."
Bai Qinghuan didn't leave either, and waited at the door.
Although I want to go in, it is obviously not appropriate now.
If someone saw her, an unmarried girl, entering the Regent's mansion, she didn't know what would be said tomorrow.
She didn't want others to know about this until she was sure that the regent liked her.
If this fails, there is still a way out.
A woman's reputation is greater than heaven.
Although she didn't care about that, she cared about her mother and brother and didn't want to get them into trouble and be criticized.
Xishun knocked on the study door.
"Enter."
"Your Highness, Miss Bai prepared some side dishes herself, saying that she was thanking Your Highness for his kindness today. I took the initiative to bring them in. Do you want to see them?"
The Regent was actually quite surprised. She thought she would give her some inkstones or pearls or jade or something like that, but she didn't expect it would be a dish she cooked herself.
"She delivered it herself?"
"Yes, it was so cold, Miss Bai personally sent me to the back door."
"back door?"
"yes."
The Regent didn't say anything, but his voice was obviously much deeper.
"Open it and take a look."
Xishun swiftly unwrapped the small quilt that wrapped him, opened the food box, and the warm aroma instantly filled the entire study.
"Miss Bai's cooking skills are really good. The dishes she cooks are even more delicious than those cooked by the royal chef."
"Oh, three dishes, a soup, and a bowl of rice. Miss Bai is really thoughtful."
No matter how many holes there are, flattery will never wear out.
Xishun's mouth was as sweet as honey.
The dishes were laid out one by one, and Xishun took a step back.
"My Lord, don't you need it?"
The Regent glanced at him and said, "You want me to catch it with my hands?"
"Ah? Oh, I'll get the chopsticks right away."
He ran to the kitchen to get the tableware.
The Regent looked at the steaming food on the table for a long time without saying a word.
She can actually cook?
It's almost as good as the imperial chef.
Soon the chopsticks were brought, and Xishun used a silver needle to test them all. After confirming that they were non-toxic, he stepped aside.
The Regent picked up a piece of diced chicken wrapped in red oil and his eyes lit up.
He had never tasted such a spicy flavor before.
Palace dishes are generally light and tasty, and rarely spicy or stimulating.
The taste buds were stimulated violently, and he felt an unprecedented satisfaction, and his heart was also very soothed.
He liked the taste immediately.
There wasn't much diced chicken on a plate, so he finished it quickly with some rice.
The seasonal vegetable and meat slices were also very tender, the green vegetables were refreshing, and the pickled mustard and shredded pork soup was refreshing. He could hardly stop eating.
Although he ate quickly, every move he made was elegant and graceful.
Although Xishun was envious, he was more happy. He thought that the prince must really like Miss Bai, otherwise why would he be eating so happily?
The prince had never eaten so much for dinner.
However, he always felt that he had forgotten something and couldn't remember it for a while.
The Regent put down his chopsticks in satisfaction, and Xishun spoke again: "Miss Bai is really clever and skillful. The food she made is so suitable for the prince's taste."
"Ah, I remember now."
The Regent glanced at him in a good mood and asked, "What did you remember?"
"Miss Bai, Miss Bai, she is still waiting at the back door."
As soon as he saw his master, he served him meal and forgot about Miss Bai at the back door.
It’s so cold, won’t Miss Bai be frozen to death?
Miss Bai wouldn't think he was deliberately making things difficult for her, would he?
Oh my god, let him die.
The Regent was stunned for a moment, and then his pressure came over Xishun like an overwhelming force.
"The slave deserves to die."
Xishun was almost crying and ran out in a flash.
"My Lord, if you want to punish me, wait until I have finished replying to Miss Bai."
The Regent's brain is almost shut down. Was he eating very slowly just now?
It’s already been fifteen minutes. Is she frozen?
Why don’t you leave after delivering the gift?
Waiting for Xishun to reply, what reply?
He walked out of the study door uncontrollably.
Shufeng came back and thought the prince was going out.
"Your Majesty, I have found some information."
"We'll talk about it later."
"Where is the prince going?"
"Take a walk after dinner."
We said we were just taking a walk, but soon we arrived at the back door.
He did not go out, but found a corner where he could see outside and stayed there, looking at the girl outside the door who was stamping her feet and breathing out with her hands.
His little face is red from the cold, I wonder if he will get frostbite.
Something flashed through his mind, but he didn't catch it.
Then I heard the girl's voice trembling and hoarse, obviously she was frozen hoarse.
"Eunuch, does the prince not like the food I cook?"
Xishun said quickly, "I like it, I like it. I was serving the prince a meal and forgot the time, which made Miss Bai suffer from the cold. I am guilty."
Bai Qinghuan said in surprise: "Really? Your Majesty really likes it?"
She emanated happiness from the inside out, and the Regent's mouth softened.
Is his liking so important?
"Which dish does your Highness like best? I'll make more tomorrow."
Xishun was a little worried. The prince had eaten them all, so which dish did he like best?
"The prince will like everything the girl makes, right?"
He's not quite sure either.
Then his eyes lit up. It was great that Miss Bai would come again tomorrow.
"I understand. Thank you for your help, sir."
"Biyun."
Bai Qinghuan signaled Biyun to give Xishun the purse.
As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official is the doorkeeper of the prime minister, so she cannot neglect the people from the Regent's Palace.
Sometimes small people can accomplish great things.
She would benefit from just a few casual revelations.
"I don't deserve it. Miss, you are embarrassing me."
Biyun advised: "Eunuch, please take it. It is a token of our lady's love."
Xishun took it reluctantly, his hands trembling a little.
Miss Bai is such a nice person. He made a mistake and left her in the cold for so long, but she still gave him money.
He will definitely hand over the silver to the prince, and hopes that the prince will not beat him to death later.
Bai Qinghuan felt like she was about to become a popsicle and couldn't help sneezing.
She rubbed her itchy nose and said, "It's freezing cold, please come back soon, father-in-law."
"The servant is sending Miss Bai."
"Please stay, sir."
Bai Qinghuan turned around and got on the carriage. Fortunately, the charcoal fire had been lit before she came, so she was much warmer.
But my head still feels a little dizzy.
I really miss down jackets.
I thought to myself that next time I go out I must wear that white fox fur cloak.
After the carriage left the alley and disappeared, Xishun returned home. When he looked up, he saw the prince standing not far from the back door, blocking his way.
He was so scared that he fell to his knees with a plop: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is given to me by Miss Bai. I dare not keep it privately."
