The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

The Taoist priest wore a dark blue Taoist robe and brushed the dust in his hand. He looked like he was in his 40s, but his hair was all white.

Probably out of intuition, Xiao Xi thought the Taoist was not simple.

Unfortunately, she was far away from the Taoist's seat. She couldn't observe him at a close distance. She could only stare at him from a distance.

The Taoist priest always smiles. He also has demeanor when eating and drinking. He looks like a dog.

The Empress Dowager instinctively rejected all Taoists because he indulged in seeking immortals in his later years.

At this time, when she saw a Taoist beside the emperor, the Empress Dowager didn't say anything, but she was dissatisfied. She planned to find a chance to beat the Taoist, so as not to let the emperor follow in the footsteps of the first emperor.

The emperor was in poor health, had no appetite and didn't eat much. He just sat for a while and slowly got up and left the table with the help of others.

He looked a lot older now, and his hair was more than half white. Even if he only walked a few steps, he had to be supported by someone.

The Taoist followed the emperor.

After the reunion dinner, they left the country Pavilion.

As soon as Xiao Xixi got into the sedan chair, she was stopped by Princess Bai.

"Sister Xiao, they all go back to the east palace. Why don't we go together?"

The road is so wide that you can't stop others from leaving. Xiao Xi answered, "it's up to you."

Two sedans drove forward side by side.

It's very cold in winter, and the temperature will be lower at night.

Fortunately, Xiao Xi is well dressed and has a heater in her hand. It's not very cold.

The sedan chair shook gently, making her a little sleepy.

She couldn't help yawning.

The white side imperial concubine sighed: "it has been half a year since the prince left, but the prince hasn't come back, and I don't know how he is living outside?"

Her voice was as soft and weak as ever. It was OK at ordinary times. At this time, it was almost scattered by the cold wind.

Xiao Xixi was trying to fight against the sleepy insect. She asked a question without hearing her clearly.

"What are you talking about?"

Princess Bai repeated what she had just said.

Xiao Xixi: "can't you speak louder? The wind is so strong that you can't hear clearly."

The white side imperial concubine had to raise the volume and shouted at her.

"I want to ask you if there is any news about the prince..."

Before she finished, a cold wind blew in her face and poured it into her open mouth.

Her words came to an abrupt end.

She was choked by the cold wind and coughed until her face turned white.

Willow catkins asked nervously, "what's the matter with your mother? Has the old problem been made again?"

With that, she took out the medicine bottle and prepared to give medicine to Princess Bai.

The white side imperial concubine pushed away her hand and said hoarsely, "I'm fine. I just choked a little wind to go in."

Willow catkins clapped her back quickly to help her go smoothly.

While their master and servant were busy, concubine Xiao's sedan chair had gone away.

When Princess Bai raised her head and went to see Princess Xiao again, she found that Princess Xiao had long disappeared.

Princess Bai hated that she couldn't get the information she wanted.

"This concubine Xiao must have been intentional just now. She just doesn't want to disclose the prince's news to me."

Liu Xu didn't understand: "how do you know that concubine Xiao has news about the prince?"

The white side imperial concubine pursed her lower lip and didn't want to answer this question.

Although she doesn't want to admit it, the fact is that concubine Xiao in the East Palace is the most favored. Once the prince goes for half a year, he will certainly miss concubine Xiao in the palace. Maybe he will send someone to send a message to concubine Xiao quietly.

In fact, Xiao Xi did receive a letter.

But the letter was delivered to her on the ninth day of the first month.

It was early winter when the prince wrote this letter. When the letter was sent to Xiao Xi, the years had passed.

Xiao Xi had to sigh again that the communication speed in ancient times was too slow.

The letter described some of his recent situation.

He naturally picked it up and said that he didn't mention such things as being in danger or injured.

The prince also said that he was about to celebrate his 20th birthday and reminded Xiao Xixi to prepare a birthday present for him.

He made a remark at the end of the letter——

No turtles! No living creatures!

Xiao Xi touched Luo Xiaoxi, who was lying around pretending to be dead, and muttered.

"How lovely the tortoise is. Why doesn't he want a tortoise? I wanted to give him another tortoise. I can find you a companion."

Luo Xiaoxi lay motionless on the carpet, as if she had lost her soul.

Recently, in addition to eating, sleeping, playing cards and reading scripts, Xiao Xi has another task every day, that is, preparing birthday gifts for the crown prince.

On her birthday last year, the prince personally carved a kitten seal for her.

She still hangs that seal around her neck and carries it close to her every day.

Xiao Xixi decided to reciprocate and send a seal to the prince.

She specially found a good white jade and began to carve seals.

As a result, I worked hard for several days and failed to carve a decent chapter.

Xiao Xixi looked at the white jade carved into an irregular object in his hand, thought carefully, and decided to give up the arduous task of carving chapters.

She polished the white jade into a round buckle.

She originally wanted to make a concentric buckle, but the difficulty was too high. She couldn't finish it. She had to step back and get a round buckle.

This round buckle looks more circular than the general ring pendant. At first glance, it looks like a doughnut just out of the pot.

Xiao Xixi polished the white jade doughnut, then made a complex with a blue string, put on the white jade doughnut and made a white jade pendant.

She looked around and was very satisfied.

Xiao Xixi put away the white jade pendant and ran out to shout at the Baoqin.

"I want doughnuts!"

What is a doughnut?

Xiao Xixi described the practice, shape and taste of doughnuts.

Baoqin probably had a score in her heart: "wait a minute, slave and maid, go and study it."

It is not difficult to make doughnuts. After careful study by chef Baoqin, he soon made doughnuts in Xiao Xi's memory.

Xiao Xi bites it down. It's soft and sweet. It's delicious!

Today, Yao zhaoxun came again.

Xiao Xixi pushed the plate with doughnuts in front of her and asked her to try it.

No woman does not love sweets, and Yao zhaoxun is no exception.

She was immediately attracted by the sweet smell of doughnuts, picked up one and tasted it.

Xiao Xi asked, "is it delicious?"

Yao zhaoxun nodded hard: "it's delicious!"

Doughnuts are delicious, but they are easy to get fat. Yao zhaoxun doesn't want to be a plate like Princess Li. He stops after eating one.

She took a sip of hot tea and breathed out slowly.

It's so comfortable to drink hot tea and eat dessert in winter!

Xiao Xixi is not afraid of getting fat and continues to eat doughnuts happily.

Yao zhaoxun: "do you remember the Taoist priest followed by the emperor on New Year's Eve?"
