Chapter 655: Matching Opponents
in the kitchen
After Xu Qing pulled the hook, he let go of Xiao Ruxue's hand: "Look, I scared Brother Xiao away."
Xiao Ruxue giggled and said, "We don't care about him, what about zongzi? I want to eat zongzi?"
Xu Qing said: "I soaked the glutinous rice early this morning, but the zongzi leaves are not available at the moment. These days, the servants in the mansion rushed to make some bamboo tubes, which can be used to make zongzi."
"Bamboo tube?" Xiao Ruxue said in surprise, "I haven't seen how to use bamboo tube to make zongzi. Is it delicious?"
Xu Qing said: "It's not too much difference, but the bamboo tube is long but thinner, it's hard to hold the stuffing, after cooking it, dip it in sugar and eat it."
Xiao Ruxue said happily: "Okay, okay, how do you wrap it in a bamboo tube? You go to cook, and I will try to wrap it."
Xu Qing said: "Okay, I will teach you later."
...
Xiao Ye came out of the kitchen and took a deep breath of fresh air outside.
The two of them can actually get bored in a place like the kitchen...
what……
Sure enough, except for Wan'er, the other women were too scary.
After Xiao Ye came out of the kitchen, he looked at the greenhouse, at the Nuan Pavilion, and then looked back at the kitchen...
There are people busy everywhere.
Why do you suddenly feel that the whole family is suddenly redundant?
suddenly a little embarrassed...
Xiao Ye looked around, it seemed that there was only one place to go.
In the tea room
Su Jiyuan and Xian Wang have already played against each other.
Originally, Su Jiyuan was a little nervous, and his hands were a little involuntary.
But Xian Wang said with a smile: "There are no monarchs and ministers tonight, you and I are all equals, it's okay to be more casual."
Although the virtuous king said so, Su Jiyuan should still be nervous, and Su Jiyuan didn't get used to it until the two got better.
In the beginning, Su Jiyuan thought that as a courtier, it would be bad if he could win the game of chess with the virtuous king, so he held back a little bit at the beginning, leaving a lot of leeway, but soon he I found that this thought was superfluous.
The Xian Wang's chess skills are so exquisite, and the two of them are indistinguishable from each other when they play against each other with all their strength.
Just when King Xian was thinking about where to go, the door of the room suddenly opened.
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye who came in, nodded and said: "Well, it's just in time, let's pour tea."
"Hey, it's..." Xiao Ye who just came in went out again.
After finally finding hot tea, he took two cups and re-entered the tea room.
Xiao Ye put the tea in front of the virtuous king: "Father, please drink tea."
King Xian took a sip of tea while thinking about the chess game, still thinking about where to play.
Xiao Ye put another cup of tea in front of Su Jiyuan: "Uncle Su, you drink tea too."
After reacting, Su Jiyuan quickly took it with both hands: "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness."
"It should." Xiao Ye agreed, then pointed to a place and said, "Should I go here?"
King Xian looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Are you sure?"
Xiao Ye nodded, and the King Xian followed suit.
Su Jiyuan picked up a chess piece and dropped it in one place with a smile: "The minister eats the prince's piece."
Xian Wang looked up at Xiao Ye and asked, "Didn't you say that you are sure to stay here?"
Xiao Ye pursed his lips and said, "I'm sure I'm sure, but I don't know if I can win the boy..."
King Xian: "..."
He knew that he, a rebellious son, had always been stable in the matter of being angry with himself.
After learning about Xiao Ye's unreliability, King Xian drove him out, and he stayed here to continue playing against Su Jiyuan.
After playing chess, you will forget the time after you put it into it.
Almost an hour later, Xu Qing's table was ready, and King Xian and Su Jiyuan were still playing chess in the tea room.
Xiao Ye ran over to urge her several times, but the two of them didn't respond at all.
In the dining room
Xu Qing, Xiao Ruxue, and Xuan'er had already brought all the food from the kitchen, Xiao Ye walked in and said, "They still haven't responded at all."
Concubine Xian smiled and said: "Your father may have met an opponent today. For your father, in this game of chess, it is always difficult to find an opponent. It may be difficult to meet such a match-matched person."
Su Qian, who was sitting by the side, said in surprise, "Father's level of chess was not even good for me at the beginning. How can he play back and forth with the prince today? Could it be that father has studied chess specially these days."
Princess Xian couldn't stop laughing when she heard this, and said: "No, it's not that Qian'er's father has improved in chess, but that the prince has always been like this. Everyone can't beat it, so it's hard to find an opponent, because he can't be someone else's opponent at all."
Su Qian and Zheng Wan'er couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
But Xiao Ye was embarrassed, just lowered his head, and said silently in his heart: Please, don't say it.
His chess skills are not as good as those two...
Only Xiao Ruxue can unscrupulously mock the real ruler of Chu State: "Hehehe, father is so stupid, my daughter will tell him to change backgammon."
Princess Xian laughed and said: "Call Xueer, your father Wang Ping will listen to you every day."
After Xiao Ruxue agreed, she ran over.
I have to say that as soon as Princess Yongle steps out, no matter whether you are the emperor or the prince, she will obediently pull you over.
Xian Wang smiled and said: "It's rare to meet an opponent today, we will continue after we finish the meal, today we will definitely decide the winner."
Naturally, Su Jiyuan didn't dare to be negligent, cupped his hands and said: "I should accompany you."
King Xian looked at Xu Qing again and said: "By the way, although today is the New Year, don't light firecrackers and firecrackers again, and replace them with quieter ones, so as not to scare the two children."
Xu Qing said: "Don't worry, I have told all households in Anding County yesterday, not only the Marquis of Anding, but the whole Anding County today are not allowed to set off firecrackers with strong roaring sound, instead use those with small sound but dazzling brilliance." The house has also prepared a lot of fireworks, just waiting for midnight to come."
Concubine Xian said: "It is understandable to think for the sake of the children this time, but next time you must not be so forceful and order. Too much force on the people will also lose the kindness of the court."
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Princess, please be at ease. I didn't force them, but just told them that all the fireworks they need this year will be provided by the Marquis of Anding, and the people don't need to buy them. In this way, it will be natural for them to set off the fireworks of the Marquis of Anding." It’s not going to be too loud, but it’s brilliant and what’s not to like?”
Concubine Xian smiled and said, "You are the one who is more thoughtful."
King Xian also looked at Xu Qing in surprise, and said: "I remember that you are the most stingy kid on weekdays, and today you are willing to provide free fireworks to the people in a populous county like Anding County? Impressed."
Xu Qing said with a smile: "It's all for the lady, otherwise, what do you do to earn so much money on weekdays?"
Su Qian secretly glanced at Xu Qing, but there was a slight smile on her face.
