Chapter 505 How did she become a princess?
Old Lady Lin was spitting blood foam and roaring incoherently: "What Princess Ning'an? We have never offended the Princess at all, why are we hitting people?"
Sun Mei's face was ashen as death. She murmured in disbelief, "She...how did she become a princess?"
Bai Wanwan slowly walked over to the slumped Lin Zaozao and said coldly, "You just called me a little bitch? You said I deserved it?"
She slapped Lin Zao Zao directly and said:
"You think I'm someone you can manipulate? I'm just playing with you guys, but you really take yourself too seriously!
Don't mess with me again, or you won't be able to save your life next time."
Lin Zao Zao was shaking like a sieve and blurted out: "Impossible! In your previous life, you clearly..."
He suddenly covered his mouth when the words came to his lips.
Bai Wanwan sneered: "Mind your own business. If you continue to pester me, next time it won't be as simple as a slap."
Gu Sinian stretched out his arms and held Bai Wanwan firmly.
Gu Sinian held her hand and said:
"Why do you have to let me do it myself? Can't you tell someone else to do it? My hands are already sore.
None of the people around me understand what’s going on.”
Bai Wanwan hugged Gu Sinian's neck and said coquettishly, "Brother Sinian, why are you here?"
Gu Sinian lightly scratched her nose with his fingertips: "Of course I'm here to feed my greedy little cat. Come on, I'll take you to dinner. I brought a lot of dishes today."
Bai Wanwan swallowed her saliva. She really couldn't resist the delicious food!
Gu Sinian's chief eunuch had already opened all the food boxes. As he did so, he said, "This first box contains beggar's chicken. The master said you like chicken, so he asked the imperial kitchen to make it for you."
Before he finished speaking, the crispy clay shell was cracked open, and the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves oozes with fat and fragrance.
"The second food box is West Lake Vinegar Fish. We use fresh fish from the Qiantang River and drizzle it with a sweet and sour sauce made with more than a dozen spices. The fish is so tender that it melts on your tongue."
"The third food box is Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! It has sea cucumber, abalone, and shark fin. The broth is so thick that you can stick it on the spoon. Just the smell is enough to make your eyebrows drop."
"This fourth one is Yangzhou Lion's Head. It's made with carefully selected pork belly with a 30% fat/70% lean ratio. It's hand-pounded hundreds of times and stewed until it melts in your mouth. It's also embedded with crab roe for a more flavorful dish."
"The fifth food box contains crystal braised pork, Zhenjiang vinegar and shredded ginger. The braised pork is crystal clear and tastes chewy and refreshing."
"The sixth one is Longjing shrimp. It's Longjing tea before the Qingming Festival paired with Taihu shrimp. The shrimp is wrapped in the fragrance of the tea soup and is crispy when chewed."
"The seventh food box is Dongpo Pork, which has been simmered for six hours. The sugar is bright red, the fat melts in your mouth, and the lean meat is soaked up the sauce."
"The last one is boiled cabbage. It looks watery, but it's actually made with a broth made from old hens and dried scallops that's been simmered for three days. The cabbage has absorbed the flavor and is sweet and refreshing."
Bai Wanwan's eyes lit up. She was so curious about the boiled cabbage and didn't know what it tasted like.
Bai Wanwan scooped a spoonful of boiled cabbage into her mouth. The seemingly ordinary clear soup was so delicious that she almost bit her tongue.
The cabbage has absorbed the flavor of the chicken soup, and it is soft, tender, and sweet. After swallowing it, a sweet aftertaste remains in the throat.
Her eyes lit up and she was about to speak when she looked up and saw Gu Sinian staring at her with his face propped up and a smile on his lips.
"Brother Si Nian, don't you want to eat?" Bai Wanwan asked, holding a spoon.
Gu Sinian shook his head and reached out to push the beggar's chicken towards her:
"I eat these every day in the palace and I'm tired of them.
Eat more, this flower chicken is specially made for you, try it."
Bai Wanwan didn't hesitate and tore off the greasy chicken leg and took a big bite.
The skin is roasted to a crispy and fragrant taste, and the chicken has absorbed the fragrance of the lotus leaves. It falls off the bones with a slight pull and is so tender that it is juicy.
She puffed out her cheeks and mumbled, "It's delicious! The cooking in the imperial kitchen is truly remarkable. Brother Si Nian, you are so lucky."
As he said this, he couldn't wait to take a second bite, and the oil dripped down the corners of his mouth.
Seeing this, Gu Sinian smiled and took out a handkerchief, gently wiped her face and said, "Do you like eating so much? And dessert, eat less, otherwise it will be difficult to digest."
Bai Wanwan was so full that she could hardly walk: "I'm so full, it tastes so good, Brother Si Nian, how about I go to the palace with you? That way I can eat delicious food every day."
Gu Sinian hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but entering the palace will bring many dangers, especially for the Queen..."
Bai Wanwan looked at him and smiled:
"Brother Si Nian, I was just joking with you. There is no place in the palace that I can enter.
I don’t want to go in either. The requirements in the palace are too high and I don’t feel comfortable at all.”
Gu Sinian looked down at her and said, "Are you saying you don't want to enter the palace?"
Bai Wanwan nodded and said:
"The palace is a place of cruelty, filled with intrigue and scheming every day.
Anyway, I don't want to go. If it weren't for your status, I think you shouldn't go either."
Zhang Quande was sweating profusely. This little ancestor really dared to say anything.
Gu Sinian looked at her and said, "Okay, if you say you don't want to go, then I won't go. I'm going back now. Master Liu is still waiting for me!"
"Oh, then you go back! I have something to do later." Bai Wanwan said.
"What can happen at your young age? You have to keep a close eye on the first and second days of the new year. I will leave eight armored guards for you." Gu Sinian said.
Bai Wanwan quickly waved her hand and said:
“No need, openly there are only the first and second graders, but there are still a few people secretly protecting me!
They are all very good at boxing and kicking, look!"
Bai Wanwan pointed to the corner outside, and sure enough, she saw several gangsters secretly protecting her.
Gu Sinian waved his hand and said, "Then be good and protect yourself."
After Gu Sinian left, Bai Wanwan asked someone to buy back all the storybooks on the other side. Originally, she just thought it was fun.
Now it's different. This Lin Zao Zao really irritated her. Didn't she think that writing stories could make money? Then she could write it too?
She has as many options as she wants, and the last thing she lacks is storybooks.
Bai Wanwan set up a long table at the back of the bookstore and called over several scholars whose clothes were covered with patches.
These people used to hang out in bookstores every day to read free books, but now the bookstore business has changed so much that they are worried about how to make a living.
She slammed the table and said, "Follow me and write a storybook. I'll provide food and pay you! Are you willing?"
The eyes of several scholars lit up. These days, having a hot meal is better than anything else.
The first one to be written was "Journey to the West". Bai Wanwan sat on the armchair and told the story of Monkey King making trouble in Heaven and defeating the White Bone Demon three times. The scholars' brushes flew across the rice paper.
I didn't expect these poor scholars to be so talented. Before the sun set, they had already neatly typed out the ten chapters of the manuscript.
"Take it to the bookshop for engraving first!" Bai Wanwan said as she flipped through the pages, "We'll continue writing tomorrow! Give them 100 coins each..."
"Ah?" The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and so were the other scholars. In just one afternoon, they each earned 100 coins.
