Fang Xiaoxi said, and turned to go to the kitchen. The prince looked at his grandmother in confusion: "Grandmother, is the food of Fang Xiaoxi delicious?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Of course, you will know when you eat it."
Soon Fang Xiaoxi's meal was ready. The prince followed the Queen Mother and Nan Nan to the dining table. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a pleasant fragrance.
He had never smelled such food in the palace. Could it be that the master was really among the people? He glanced at Fang Xiaoxi, who just smiled and walked forward: "Old lady, you can have your meal."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, you can stay and have dinner with us. Just call him Xiao Mu, he is younger than you."
The corner of the prince's mouth twitched, and he felt that his grandmother was too kind to this cook. After Qian Jiujiu and Bei Bei left, Fang Xiaoxi often came to accompany the empress dowager for meals, and she was used to it.
After sitting down, the group began to eat. There was some white tofu on the table, which looked very tender and smooth. The prince tasted it and squinted his eyes. It was really delicious.
The Queen Mother found the Prince's expression very funny, with her lips curled up, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood.
After the meal, the prince looked at the empress dowager and said, "Grandma, when we go back, let's take her with us. Will she cook for you in the future?"
When Nan Nan heard the prince's words, her face darkened. She looked at Mu Yinli and said, "Apologize."
The prince was stunned, looking at Nan Nan in confusion. He asked him to apologize to a village girl? How could this be possible? He was the prince.
The Queen Mother frowned when she saw this. The prince had been raised in the palace all these years, and was pampered by others. It seemed that his life was too easy, and he didn't take others seriously at all.
She had been here for quite some time, but she could clearly see how much Nan Nan cared about Fang Xiaoxi. Fang Xiaoxi was indeed likable, but her background was a little poor.
However, after being accepted as a disciple by Qian Jiujiu, even this point of origin was made up. She had no objection to being with Nan Nan, as they were childhood sweethearts.
"Brother Nannan, you are kidding. You want me to apologize to her?"
Nan Nan nodded: "Yes, I asked you to apologize to her. She is not a cook, nor is she your servant. Why can you take her away just like that?"
The prince's eyes widened, and even Zhou Ziqian, who followed him, was a little surprised. This prince was used to living outside, and he didn't know the difference between superiors and subordinates at all.
"There's no need. She's just a village girl."
Nan Nan glanced at Zhou Ziqian and frowned: "Kick him out."
Zhou Ziqian didn't expect that he would be kicked out by the prince just because he opened his mouth to say a word. He looked at Nan Nan: "You..."
Before he could finish his words, a guard appeared beside Nan Nan: "Mr. Zhou, please come in."
Zhou Ziqian looked at the prince, who was also a little angry: "Brother, this is inappropriate. Are you sure you want to offend me for a village girl?"
Nan Nan laughed when he heard this: "Oh? If I offend you, what can you do to me?"
The prince was stunned. He had never thought about this question. In fact, when he was growing up, many people told him that the king's achievements were greater than his master's, and that his children did not take him seriously.
But he never seemed to have thought about having a disagreement with Nannanbeibei and the others. This made the prince a little confused. He really couldn't do anything to Nannan because his sister would be sad. The last thing he wanted was to see his sister sad.
Moreover, his father and mother would not agree. He always knew how his father got the throne. He also saw his father's efforts over the years.
Fang Xiaoxi stood up at this time: "I'm done eating, old lady, I'll help you go out for a walk, get some sun, or take a walk, okay?"
The Queen Mother knew that Nan Nan was always very sensible in what he did, so she did not interfere in the affairs between the brothers. She stood up and went out with Fang Xiaoxi.
The prince was speechless when he saw this scene. His grandmother actually left him alone. Then, only Nan Nan and the prince were left in the dining room.
Nan Nan glanced at the prince and said, "Are you sure you don't want to apologize?"
The prince thought he should be proud of himself: "I am a prince, but I just want to find a peasant girl to be my cook. Is that not okay?"
Nan Nan smiled and looked at the prince: "Who told you that the prince can forcibly seize a commoner girl?"
The prince looked at Nan Nan in disbelief: "When did I rob a woman? Please stop talking nonsense, okay? How can I be so hateful?"
Nan Nan still smiled at the prince, and the prince felt a little guilty: "No? Then what did you say just now? Take her back directly? Did you get her consent? Fang Xiaoxi is a person, and you rely on your status as a prince and don't respect her at all. How do you think she will see you?"
The prince really hadn’t thought about this question: “I am the prince.”
Nan Nan nodded, "Yes, you are the prince. But she doesn't know. Even if she knew, what do you think she would do to you? Would she beg you to take her with you to be your cook?"
The prince's eyes lit up: "It's not impossible."
Nan Nan suddenly felt a little tired, and at this moment he understood why the emperor released him: "It's up to you, I find you are hopeless."
After saying that, Nan Nan turned around and left. He no longer looked at the prince, which made the prince look confused: "No, brother, what do you mean by this? And Zhou Ziqian, can you get him back?"
Zhou Ziqian? Nan Nan snorted, "I'll send him to a place to gain some experience. I won't do anything to him. As for you, you should worry about yourself."
As for those guys who only know how to flatter the prince, and even think that they are superior to others just because they are around the prince, they should be reformed.
Thinking of this, Nan Nan went out and looked at the guards who took Zhou Ziqian away: "Send him to open up wasteland. Come back after he has opened up one acre of land."
Uh! The guards felt sorry for Zhou Ziqian. This kid had never been involved in land reclamation before. One acre of land. His master was really angry.
Nan Nan came to the Queen Mother's courtyard, where the Queen Mother was chatting with Fang Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, my Xiaoli is a little rude, but he doesn't mean any harm."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "Don't worry, old lady, I don't take it to heart. I can tell from the fact that he is used to being treated with respect and luxury, so he speaks in his usual style. I'm sure that if I refuse, this young master won't force me."
In Fang Xiaoxi's opinion, this young master was just a little spoiled and didn't have any bad intentions. However, Nan Nan was able to make him apologize to her, which caused a little ripple in Fang Xiaoxi's heart.
The Queen Mother smiled: "Xiao Xi is still sensible."
See, as long as you understand, you are sensible. Not to mention the young master just now, even the old lady thinks so.
They have always been in a high position and will never respect a person seriously. Of course, except for her master, her master's family is very good.
Nan Nan walked in from outside and looked at the two of them: "What are you talking about? Grandma praised Xiao Xi. I also have something to discuss with Xiao Xi."
Fang Xiaoxi was a little surprised: "What do you want to discuss with me?"
Nan Nan smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work in the next few days, cooking for me and my grandmother. Of course, you don't have to cook for Xiao Li, I will find another cook to cook for him. Please try to make it more fragrant so that people will want to eat it."
The Queen Mother was somewhat helpless: "You, Xiaoxi doesn't bear grudges, so why are you bearing grudges now?"
Seeing that Nan Nan did not really ask the prince to come over to apologize, the Queen Mother was still happy. But her current behavior made her very confused.
"Grandma, you can't secretly give him yours. Xiaoli came here this time to experience the suffering of the people. This is his father's intention."
The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment. No wonder the Emperor actually asked the Prince to come. It seemed that he wanted the Prince to come and see the world. In fact, he could not see much about folk life. After all, in the Queen Mother's view, the most lively time for folk life was the autumn harvest.
Fang Xiaoxi glanced at Nan Nan, then nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. But the price is different. Old Madam, let me make you some medicinal food to nourish your body."
The three were discussing when the housekeeper of the other courtyard came over: "Sir, the master is here."
The master came at this time, there must be something, Nan Nan directly asked him to come in. After Master Fang came in, he was a little confused when he saw Fang Xiaoxi was also there.
"Little sister, you are here too. Sir, the victims are here."
Before Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao left, they asked them to prepare for how to receive these disaster victims. Nan Nan knew that she would be busy now.
"Got it. Let's go. Xiaoxi, you will stay here for the time being and accompany my grandmother, okay? I will also send someone to bring your family to live in the mountains."
In fact, living in the village is not necessarily dangerous, but the guards in the villa are more powerful, so people feel more at ease living there.
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "Okay."
I know in my heart that this is to put myself beside the old lady to take care of her. It is also good for my family to live here.
Only the Queen Mother looked confused: "Where did the disaster victims come from? Isn't there a bumper harvest this year?"
Nan Nan had already left with Master Fang, but Fang Xiaoxi knew something, so she told the old lady, "Somewhere was affected by a disaster. I heard it was an insect plague, and it was quite serious."
After Zhou Ziqian was sent away, there was only one young eunuch left to take care of the prince. The prince thought more and more that something was wrong and planned to go find Fang Xiaoxi.
Then he walked towards the Empress Dowager's courtyard and saw Nan Nan and Master Fang rushing away. He looked at them curiously and continued to look for someone. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he heard Fang Xiaoxi's voice.
