chapter 60
"Niangniang, what are you talking about?" Seeing Shangguan smiling and saying something she couldn't understand, Xiaocui asked while fanning her.
Shangguan smiled and sighed: "I really want to eat ice cream, I really want to eat ice cream, I really want to eat iced watermelon."
Unfortunately there is nothing.
"Watermelon? There is watermelon, but there is no ice."
In the summer, the desire for ice is also limited.
If it weren't for the huge ice storage in the palace, I'm afraid it would be difficult to order small ice cubes this summer.
"Hey, if only there was a refrigerator."
Shangguan smiled and sighed, looked up to see Chen Daneng coming, and immediately stepped forward to say hello.
"Da Neng, come here quickly."
"Master, what's the matter?"
"Get me two big watermelons."
Now the royal chef in the royal kitchen is Shangguan Xiaoxiao's apprentice, so he can do whatever he wants.
If Chen Da can open a small stove for his master, that is absolutely no problem.
When Chen Daneng sent the two big watermelons to Shangguan Xiaoxiao, Shangguan Xiaoxiao directly put the watermelons into the wooden bucket filled with water in the well, and sank the wooden bucket to the bottom of the well water.
To say that this watermelon is also a rarity, it was bought from neighboring countries.
Only the palace and some dignitaries can eat it, and some of those ordinary people have never even heard of it.
In the east border country, the most common fruits are peaches and apples, and other rare ones such as bananas and lychees are relatively rare, and they are only found in the palace.
Like watermelon, if you want it, you have to go to a neighboring country to buy it.
"Miss, what are you doing?"
"Of course it's an iced watermelon. Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if you don't have ice cubes. The water in this well is a natural freezer. The watermelon you get later will be icy and sweet."
However, Shangguan smiled and looked at the two watermelons, and he was also muttering in his heart.
If only I could grow watermelon seeds myself.
This way you don't have to go out to shop every time.
Thinking like this, she decided to enter the space with the watermelon seeds later to see if the seeds that come with it can be used in the space.
After a busy morning, everyone began to stop and prepare to drink some mung bean soup. Shangguan Xiaoxiao decided to go to the platform to experience it.
"Xiao Cui, did the palace also invite those jugglers to perform in the palace before?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao has been here for a while, but he has never seen any entertainment.
Xiaocui said, "That's not true."
"No? Is there no entertainment in the palace?"
"Niangniang, there are dancers and musicians in the palace. Usually, if there is a banquet, they will go up and perform."
Shangguan smiled and was speechless, it turns out that these people's lives are so boring.
"Actually, this is also very good. The main thing is that everyone has been like this." Xiao Cui felt that it was normal.
"It seems that I can spend more time on the show." Shangguan smiled and felt that if he wanted to please the old lady this time, he would have to do something special.
And this boring eastern country should also change a bit, otherwise the entertainment after dinner will be too poor.
"Niangniang, look at you, do you have some fantastic ideas?"
"You guessed it right. But I can't tell you now, and you don't understand it. I've made a plan. I'll record my thoughts in my account when I go back tonight." Shangguan said with a smile, and went there. Go up the stairs of the table.
It was nothing at first, but when Shangguan Xiaoxiao walked to the middle of the platform, she didn't know why, one of the wooden boards suddenly loosened, causing her feet to step on the air and almost fell from the platform that was more than one meter high. go down.
It happened so suddenly that Shangguan laughed too late to react.
Until she closed her eyes, thinking that she would be disabled this time, a figure flew over and pulled her directly out of the hole.
The two also spun a little, and then they stabilized their pace.
Shangguan smiled and glanced at it.
Mom, what a handsome guy again!
However, this handsome guy was a little cold, and he didn't say anything in black, and he didn't even have any expression on his face.
After Shangguan Xiaoxiao stood firm, the other party was as sudden as when he came, and flew away in a swish.
"So easy to work, so good-looking!"
"Miss, are you alright?"
Xiao Cui ran up nervously.
"it's okay no problem."
Shangguan smiled and waved his hand, then squatted down and checked the board carefully, there were obvious signs of being pryed.
Since the rest of the platform is solidly built, there is no reason for this piece to be loose, so someone must have done something to make Shangguan laugh or get hurt.
Fortunately, an unknown handsome guy came to the rescue.
It's a pity that the other party ran too fast, and she didn't have a chance to say thank you to them.
After a previous experience, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was a lot more cautious this time, stepping on a piece of wood. After confirming that there were no hidden dangers, he asked the craftsman to come over to repair the hole, and check all the wood boards by the way to avoid it. Same surprise.
On her side, she escaped the catastrophe, but on Concubine Liu's side, she died of anger.
"What? You said Shangguan laughed at that bitch and avoided danger?"
"Niangniang, instead of avoiding, a master suddenly appeared and rescued her. Her luck is also very good." Chun'er also felt unconvinced.
She clearly planned very well, this time Shangguan Xiaoxiao fell and would be seriously injured.
After all, there are nails under the table.
Who knew that the other party was actually rescued, which was incredible.
"Then have you seen who that person is?" Concubine Liu also tickled her teeth with hatred.
Chun'er thought about it for a while, then shook her head and said, "The other party's clothes don't look like the guards of the big house. The slaves guess if it may be the secret guard."
"Dark guard? Only the emperor has this dark guard. Impossible, how could the emperor send a dark guard to protect Shangguan Xiaoxiao. What kind of thing is she!" Concubine Liu immediately denied the result.
But Chun'er still reminded: "Niangniang, this Shangguan smiled so strangely, the emperor does not necessarily send someone to protect, but to send someone to monitor?"
It's nothing more than Chun'er just giving Concubine Liu a step.
Only then did Concubine Liu look better: "You're right. The emperor must have thought that Shangguan Xiaoxiao was weird, so he sent someone to monitor her. But if this is the case, won't we be discovered by this person in the future? What should I do if I report to the emperor?"
Concubine Liu finally understood the seriousness of the problem.
"Madam, don't worry, this servant is very safe. Only Concubine Xi likes to go up and walk on this stage, and no one else will go up. Otherwise, it will not collapse until she goes up. Even if the other party follows Concubine Xi, they will not know who it is. Move the plank."
"That's good, it seems that we have to be more careful when dealing with Shangguan Xiaoxiao in the future."
"Don't worry, madam, slaves will definitely do better."
Concubine Liu nodded slightly.
She still trusts this palace maid's loyalty.
After all, one loses and one loses, and one wins and one wins.
But Shangguan Xiaoxiao's good luck still made Concubine Liu brooding.
She must think of a more secure way to get rid of the thorn in Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
"The Emperor is here."
Suddenly, Eunuch Yu's voice came from outside.
