"Oh..." Leng Suxue chuckled and became interested.
Xiqin took the script from Leng Suxue and said, "Miss, you are not feeling well. Please don't use your eyes for too long. I will read it to you."
At the pavilion.
Xiaobao ate a snack and drank a cup of tea. His opponent Qi Juncai did not make a move for a long time.
"You should admit defeat." Xiaobao said helplessly.
Qi Juncai sighed heavily and said, "In the chess hall, I can still beat you, but why do I always lose to you at my house? Is there some Feng Shui problem?"
Dongmei just arrived outside the pavilion when she heard these words, which shocked her.
"Second Master,"
Dongmei called out, and came up to the two of them and said, "The milk osmanthus cake just came out of the oven in the small kitchen of Nuanxue Pavilion. The young lady asked me to send it to the Second Master and the guests to taste."
Awang quickly took it and placed it on the small table beside him.
Qi Juncai also said to Dongmei, "Please thank my cousin for me."
After Dongmei left, Xiaobao couldn't help but glance at the high plate, and even Qi Juncai noticed it, "The milk osmanthus cake should be eaten while it's hot. Let's eat it first."
"OK."
Xiaobao took a sip and tasted the richness of milk and the fragrance of osmanthus. He felt that the trip to Qi's house was worthwhile.
After eating several pieces in a row, seeing that Xiaobao was about to reach out again, Wei Da reminded him, "It's almost time for lunch."
Only then did Xiaobao stop.
Warm Snow Pavilion
After Leng Suxue finished her lunch, Dongmei knocked on the door before entering the house.
"Miss, I just came out of the pavilion when Madam called me and asked me to bring you some bird's nest sweet soup." Dongmei put the bowls on the table.
Leng Suxue saw that she was well-behaved and asked jokingly, "Did you see it?"
Dongmei immediately covered her mouth and chuckled, "It looks a bit like the Persian cat raised by the imperial concubine. It looks very well behaved. It's just that I went there at an unfortunate time. It just happened that the Second Master lost the game of chess."
Leng Suxue smiled and opened the lid of the bowl. She took a look at the bird's nest sweet soup, waved her hand and said softly, "Take it and share it among you."
Xiqin sensed something was wrong, scooped some with a small spoon, and said angrily, "How dare you send bird's nests of this quality to the young lady's room? Is the Qi family so poor that they use this kind of stuff to embarrass others?"
"Miss, I'll take this back to Madam!" Dongmei suppressed her smile and picked it up.
"No need, since it's already been stewed, you can just eat it."
Leng Suxue said, "Xiqin, take out the two boxes of blood bird's nest that my elder sister gave me and send them to Madam. Tell her not to be polite. Anyway, they are all sent by my elder sister, and I can't finish them."
After Xiqin figured it out, she took the bird's nest and delivered it to the person.
"If it weren't for the Imperial Concubine, how could the Qi family live so comfortably?" Dongmei said angrily, "She saved their lives, and it would be fine if they didn't show gratitude, but they actually use this kind of thing to annoy people!"
"Miss, let's go to another place. Don't stay here, so as not to be bullied by others all the time!"
Dongmei couldn't understand it. The Qi family was clearly relying on the Leng family, so why did they bully their own young lady?
Leng Suxue smiled and flicked her head, chuckling, "This is definitely not what my uncle meant. This woman is ignorant and just thinks that I have seized the Qi family's power as the head of the family, so it is normal for her to use some tricks."
Dongmei still didn't understand, "Madam Leng is so favored, why should you worry about the Qi family?"
"I am related to my uncle by blood. If my eldest cousin had not passed away suddenly and my uncle had not blamed my aunt, I would not have to be the head of this family."
"There are only two daughters in my Leng family. My elder sister entered the palace, and I was born with this appearance. It's good enough that I don't scare people. If my mother's family outside the palace is divided and alienated, it will be bad for the imperial concubine in the palace. This matter is insignificant, but it is the only thing I can do for my elder sister."
"Miss..." Dongmei felt guilty, "I am stupid, please don't mention these things again, or I will be hurt again."
Leng Suxue chuckled and said, "You are a simple-minded girl, with no complicated thoughts in your mind. It's okay for you to be a little unrestrained in front of me, but remember not to say too much when there are outsiders around."
After the meal, Dongmei made the warm couch and Leng Suxue was pestered by Dongmei to read to her.
"Xiqin reads to me, but you want me to read to you. What a rebellious person." Leng Suxue said helplessly.
Dongmei squatted beside the bed and massaged Leng Suxue's legs with a smile on her face.
After a while, Xiqin came back with a large pile of boxes. Dongmei went to help immediately after seeing her, "Whose warehouse are you moving?"
Xiqin smiled and said, "He does want to."
"I went in to deliver the bird's nest when the master was there. I answered whatever he asked me. These ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin were given by the master. He also asked the young lady to have dinner with him in the evening. I said I couldn't make the decision and had to ask the young lady if she was feeling well."
Leng Suxue snorted and laughed, and asked Xiqin to put everything away.
Xiaobao and Wei Da had lunch at Qi's house before Qi Jun saw her out.
"Next time I invite you to come over, we can play chess on the warm couch with the warm jade chess pieces. It would be a shame if we didn't use them because we were afraid of damaging them, don't you think?"
Seeing that they had walked quite a distance, Xiao Bao stopped and said, "If you need more milk osmanthus cake, that's fine, but you don't have to send it anymore. If you do, you have to send it to my house."
"It's just a snack, not a valuable item. I'll ask the cook to make you lotus almond soup next time," Qi Juncai said with some regret. "If my father hadn't asked me to test my homework this afternoon, I would have gone to the chess hall with you to play."
"I'll be at the chess club tomorrow. Come find me if you want to play chess." Xiaobao waved his hand and left with Wei Da.
Qi Juncai turned around and said to Awang, "Tell the cook to make some milk osmanthus cake and send it to Miss Yun later."
