There was a circle of half-dried water marks on the hem of Pei Yan's clothes.
Song Huan looked at him, then at the wooden cage in his hands, with a puzzled look on her face. "Husband, is there something special about this fish?"
As she spoke, she leaned over to look at the cage, only to find that all the fish inside had been cut in half, completely dead...
"Just some ordinary fish to improve the food in the mansion."
Pei Yan casually placed the wooden cage on the kitchen stove with a serious expression.
"Oh..." Song Huan nodded and looked at Pei Yan meaningfully: "Improve the food."
Okay.
Seeing that there were so many people in the kitchen, she believed the nonsense.
Pei Yan couldn't help but cough lightly. His eyelids flickered slightly, and he saw the various condiments on the stove behind Song Huan. He asked, "What is my wife cooking?"
Pei Yan originally asked Pei Xi to send this cage of fish to the kitchen.
However, after he returned home and learned that Huanhuan had come to the kitchen, he personally brought the things to look for her.
Song Huan was putting the prepared condiments into the pot at this time. Upon hearing this, he said, "I'm making medicinal food."
As she spoke, she picked up the single-serving package of herbs that Doctor Qin had prepared and added it to the pot. "I can't finish stewing a whole chicken every day," she said. "Today, I happened to have some free time, so I came straight to the kitchen and made it myself."
She only stewed two chicken legs today.
She had cut the rest of the food into dices, which were now soaking in the prepared sauce.
Song Huan pointed at a clay pot and showed it to Pei Yan as if he was presenting a treasure. He said excitedly, "After a while, when the diced chicken has absorbed the flavor, I'll fry it in oil. After frying, I'll stir-fry it with chili peppers..."
Tsk. She couldn't continue, the thought of it made her drool.
After Song Huan came into this world, he struggled to survive every day.
As for what to eat for three meals a day... she really didn't have the energy to think about it.
Even when she came to the kitchen today, it was to complete a random task.
But when he was processing the chicken just now, Song Huan saw the red peppers hanging on the kitchen wall, and his greed was instantly aroused.
Now that I say this, I really can’t help it.
Song Huan couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth, "We can do it in half an hour."
Pei Yan couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand to tuck the loose hair on Song Huan's forehead behind her ear and said, "In that case, my lady can only go to the horse farm this afternoon."
Song Huan's eyes curved as she said, "Husband, I'm afraid I can only go in the afternoon from now on."
When Doctor Qin left them the recipe for the medicinal diet, he told them to stew it with an old hen.
But in fact, stewing it with old hen is just the standard dish. Song Huan has a richer and more luxurious set meal in mind.
Pei Yan heard this and looked at Song Huan, thinking for a moment, "Alright."
He just wanted to spend some time with Huanhuan before leaving Ning County.
Whether it's training at the stables or cooking in the kitchen...just do it as long as you enjoy it.
…
In the morning, I go to the kitchen to prepare medicinal food, and in the afternoon, I go to the stable to train horses.
Life was so comfortable and pleasant that April came before I knew it.
The sun in Ning County seemed to become fierce and scorching overnight.
The scorching sun makes people sweat all over.
Since April, after horse riding training every day, Song Huan wanted to take off all his outer clothes and wear only a single piece of clothing!
...Unfortunately, no.
Wearing only a single layer of clothing is more than this world can bear.
However, after a month and a half, Song Huan's horsemanship has indeed improved a lot.
In Pei Yan's words, if she really encountered danger, she could escape on horseback by herself.
"My dear husband, I think I can ride back home on my own today."
The horse slowly stopped. Song Huan held the reins tightly and looked at Pei Yan with hope.
These days, she has been training horses at the stables and has never ridden a horse on the road.
"Not today."
Pei Yan refused her and frowned, saying, "I need to go home early today."
Go home early?
Song Huan's expression froze, and he guessed something in his mind: "Could it be... the imperial edict has arrived?"
Pei Yan once told her that she would be able to return to Beijing in half a year at most, or three months at least.
It has been more than two months since the Fourth Prince Chu Xun left the military camp. If Pei Yan's guess is correct, the time has come for the Emperor of Chu to send his edict summoning him back to the capital.
Pei Yan chuckled and couldn't help but praise: "My wife is getting smarter and smarter."
Song Huan snorted, "I'm smart, okay?"
As he said this, he jumped off the horse and jumped into Pei Yan's arms.
With important matters at hand, Song Huan could only put the idea of riding a horse on the road aside.
He got on Pei Yan's horse and galloped all the way. It took only three quarters of an hour to get from the stable to the gate of the mansion.
Song Huan...felt the thrill of speeding.
The horse stopped in front of the mansion gate.
As soon as the two men dismounted from their horses, they saw a column of cavalrymen coming towards Pei Hou’s mansion at the corner of the street.
Pei Yan ignored him, handed the horse to the doorman, and led Song Huan straight into the mansion.
Less than a moment after they returned to their room, Pei Xi came over to report, "My Lord, people from the capital are here."
Pei Yan's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "Take him to the front hall."
It's getting dark.
If he were an ordinary person, he should have held a banquet in his mansion to entertain the person who came to Ning County to announce the imperial edict.
But Pei Yan went to the front hall to meet the person, and after receiving the imperial order, he actually sent the person out of the mansion directly...
However, the person who announced the decree seemed to have anticipated Pei Yan's attitude. After announcing the decree, he took his men away from Pei Hou Mansion and went to the inn to rest.
The old emperor ordered Pei Yan to return to Beijing immediately in his edict.
Pei Yan had already prepared for this matter.
The next morning, Song Huan got into the carriage back to Beijing with sleepy eyes.
In addition to Jin Yue and Jin Le, Cui Yuning also entered the carriage with her.
The cooks from Ning County didn't accompany them to the capital. Aside from Song Huan and the others, the rest of the group consisted of burly men. If Cui Yuning were to be among a group of men, she would undoubtedly attract the attention of the old emperor's men.
The safest way is to let her stay with Song Huan.
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as Song Huan no longer had to worry about how to complete the random tasks.
The weather was hot and the journey was bumpy and tiring.
Pei Yan took Song Huan's health into consideration and ordered that they should not travel at night and should set off at noon every morning.
The old emperor's men wanted to speed up their journey and raised the idea several times along the way, but Pei Yan rejected it calmly.
It was the first day of June when Pei Yan and Song Huan arrived in the capital.
It was sunset, but the air was still filled with a stuffy heat.
The ice basin that had been placed in the carriage at noon had completely melted into water by noon. By this time, the carriage was as hot as a small furnace.
Song Huan fanned his ears with a handkerchief in his hand, and from time to time he would lift the carriage curtain to see how far away he was from Pei Hou's residence...
Pei Yan told her on the way that there was a huge underground ice cellar in the mansion, and the ice stored in it could be used for at least three years.
So along the way, Song Huan couldn't help but feel more expectant.
With the ice, she's going to make a bunch of cold drinks!
As the carriage arrived in the capital, Cui Yuning, who was sitting in the carriage, became more and more uneasy.
After thinking for a long time, she finally mustered up her courage and asked, "Madam, Yuning, may I ask you a question?"
Song Huan was slightly surprised when he heard the voice. Cui Yuning had been like a transparent person all the way, quiet and silent, and had never said a word on his own initiative.
Song Huan couldn't figure out her thoughts, so he had to wait and see, not daring to act rashly and develop feelings with Cui Yuning...
Therefore, this great opportunity to increase favorability... was about to disappear under Song Huan's tactic of "I won't move unless the enemy moves."
When Song Huan heard Cui Yuning asking her a question, she was so surprised that she didn't even bother fanning herself with her handkerchief. "What's the question? Tell me."
Cui Yuning took a deep breath and looked at Song Huan with dark eyes: "Madam, why did you and Marquis Pei... bring me back to the capital?"
The author has something to say: Jinjin: It’s getting hot, Huanhuan is going to set up a cold drink stall.
