Has The Princess Consort Come Out Today? - Chapter 9

Chapter 9

A deep look flashed within Xie Jun’s gaze: “However, this Prince seems to only require a Princess who can execute the duties within her proper portion.”

“How could that be, Your Highness!” Ji Tian hurriedly pulled him down to sit, clearly setting out the advantages and disadvantages to him: “Your Highness is a prince after all, holding an exalted status, and is moreover a dragon and phoenix among men. What kind of woman could you fail to find? Whether they are plain or gorgeous, let alone within the world, just speaking of the beauties inside this rear courtyard, those who are better looking than this concubine are too numerous to count.”

“But a competent and loyal Princess is a different story. Every single person must play a role in an essential position, and to be able to continuously shine and heat up at a post, one must definitely maintain the purity of this concubine’s ideology. This concubine is truly afraid that once we have physical intimacy, this concubine will bound to fall madly in love with you.

A me who is driven mad by love very likely will possess no reason. Therefore, in order to be able to be useful to Your Highness forever, this concubine—this concubine—has also made a tremendous sacrifice, you know. But for the sake of Your Highness, this concubine is willing to do everything.” Ji Tian used her sleeve to mask the corner of her eyes, creating an aura of taking great pains and working in isolation.

Xie Jun: ……

If it weren’t for having investigated you and having seen under your pillow, this Prince would have truly believed your heresy.

However, it was actually a bit interesting.

“Speaking in this manner,” Xie Jun’s facial expression was unclear as he singly lifted Ji Tian’s chin with one hand, “the Princess is entirely wholehearted for the sake of this Prince?”

Ji Tian nodded her head in a frantic hurry.

Xie Jun stood up, “Then I hope the Princess can prove it to show me.”

“Alright, Your Highness, no problem, Your Highness.”

Xie Jun let out a low laugh, turning around and flicking his sleeves to depart.

Ji Tian collapsed onto the bed, letting out a deep, deep breath. Good luck, good luck, she could carry on like a dog for another period of time.

“Your Highness Princess…” Having walked Xie Jun out, the maids entered. Qing Yu’s expression was panicked and fearful: “Why did His Highness leave?”

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing, hurry and step down…” Ji Tian waved her hand.

Qing Yu: QAQ

The news of His Highness leaving Xixia Pavilion midway very quickly reached the hands of the people inside the Prince’s estate who possessed a news network, basically sitting a rumor dead—that was, the Princess had indeed fallen out of favor.

Inside Zhuyu Pavilion, Liu Linlang looked at the vivid fingernails upon her hand, revealing an exceptionally proud smile.

She knew that even if a principal consort entered the door, it held no use whatsoever. She was precisely the woman who laughed proudly at the absolute highest peak of this Prince’s estate.

Ji Tian completely didn’t know how the outside world conjectured about her. At any rate, she conscientiously entered the palace twice, taking responsibility for pleasing (scratch that) sincerely treating the Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess. As for other people… that wasn’t important.

At any rate, proving her own usefulness to Xie Jun was sufficient.

And Xie Jun appeared to be quite satisfied with her; at any rate, he came twice afterward and nothing happened either.

Ji Tian: !!

Tiantian had it way too difficult.

Managing with great difficulty to settle the internal affairs of the Prince’s estate, Ji Tian no longer hung with fear and suspense, only then detecting the boredom of the survival environment.

Not to mention anything else, it was just that the food and drink recently had grown increasingly plain. A person from the planet of chili-lovers, Ji Tian wanted to eat some things with heavy flavors very much.

She missed fried chicken, milk tea, popcorn, snail rice noodles, stinky tofu, and spicy stir-fried rice cakes 555…

Especially stinky tofu, she wanted to eat it so much, wow.

As everyone knows, once a person wants to eat a certain thing, their entire brain will be filled with it, to a point where if they almost can’t eat it, there’s no method to be at peace.

And as everyone knows, boredom is the easiest thing to breed extreme boredom.

On the second day of missing the stinky tofu—whose flavor was tyrannical—to the absolute limit while her mouth was bland to the point of failure, Ji Tian finally decided she must mobilize.

First of all, how exactly was stinky tofu made?

Oh-ho… Ji Tian plunged into bewilderment.

No way, no way, she tapped her head, she must absolutely eat it.

Regressing from its end result, aside from the essential chili juice, the stinky tofu itself was black and stinky, so it definitely must have been fried. What about before it was fried?

Ji Tian was in deep contemplation…

Tofu—stinky tofu. To turn stinky and also turn black, it looked as if her mother had said it was soaked inside a brine preparation for several hours. Then what should be inside the brine preparation? Generally speaking, it looked like it was just cooking wine, star anise, and the like?

Don’t care about it, try it first and talk later!

As stated in the text above, boredom would breed behaviors of extreme boredom. Aside from this, human creativity itself was boundless.

Ji Tian requested prepared tofu from the kitchen, purchased some spices by herself, and cradled a jar inside Xixia Pavilion conducting research for two days. She finally researched out the brine preparation for stinky tofu, becoming so happy she almost wanted to jump three feet high. Bringing along the concubine Ling’er, who had just happened to come look for her to play and catch the excitement, the group of people cradled the jar containing the stinky tofu and headed forward to the kitchen, preparing to make their “delicious food.”

Looking at the Princess leading a heap of people walking over, the fat chef—who thought she was going to settle the bill with him regarding the recent poor cooking and snubbing—wiped a handful of sweat from his face and yielded a stove to them, lowering his heart a tiny bit.

A little later, he knew he had lowered his heart way too early.

As everyone knows, the characteristics of stinky tofu are already written inside its name.

That truly was a stinky odor transmitting out for ten miles…

When had ancient people ever been dominated by such a tyrannical odor? The fat chef’s face turned completely green.

Furthermore, a cautious and meticulous person was the easiest to think too much when encountering matters. He almost immediately recalled the invisible slights toward Xixia Pavilion over the past two days; the food and drink sent over were also just some ordinary stock. Therefore, this little Princess specially brought people to make such a stinky thing; making the item was fake, but actually striking and retaliating against him was real.

The hand the fat chef used to hold his white handkerchief trembled slightly as he hurriedly walked over: “Your Highness, whatever you want to eat, just order us servants to make it. You merely need to give orders, and there is nothing your servants won’t follow, ah. Why go as far as this, why go as far as making this, this…”

Ji Tian took one look at his expression—which, identical to Qing Yu and Ling’er’s, showed an inability to accept it—and knew exactly what he was thinking. A thing like stinky tofu was like this to people who hadn’t eaten it, completely un-acceptable, but once they ate it, they could experience the beauty of a new world.

Ji Tian patted his shoulder: “It’s fine, hurry along and be busy with your own things. It will be ready on my side right away.”

The fat chef: …… Do you feel we are still capable of getting busy? Although it is the most remote small stove, who inside the kitchen would fail to smell the odor, hey.

Ji Tian looked at his appearance of wishing to speak yet stopping, and hurriedly guaranteed: “We will be ready right away. Rest your heart, it’s very fast. Qing Yu, fan the wind to scatter the odor.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Older Sister, will this truly be delicious?” Zhou Ling’er clicked her tongue. She could count as someone who had witnessed the marketplace, yet she truly hadn’t tasted such “delicious food.”

However, looking at the Princess’s highly certain appearance, could it truly be very delicious?

“But of course, how could I ever lie to you.” Ji Tian directed the small eunuch handling the ladle, “Alright, quick, pour on the soup juice.”

The small eunuch moved in response to the voice, pouring the soup juice onto the black tofu, and instantly it turned even stinkier.

The hand the small eunuch used to hold the ladle trembled slightly. Was the Princess’s aesthetic unexpectedly this unique? Or was it because he was merely a servant who couldn’t appreciate it? Was this truly not eating that stuff? Looking at several older sisters beside him bearing the exact same countenance as him, the small eunuch swallowed his saliva; fortunately, it wasn’t his problem alone.

Ji Tian didn’t pay attention to what he was thinking, already unable to wait as she used her chopsticks to clamp a piece and put it into her mouth.

Sure enough! It was exactly this flavor! Because the brine ingredients were the absolute best formula from their experimentation, and the soup juice was also made very well, the flavor wasn’t one fraction inferior to the finished products Ji Tian ate on the streets in her past life.

Ah… Ji Tian, who had crossed over for a long duration, revealed the joyful expression of returning to her old home.

Finally got to eat it; Tiantian didn’t have it easy.

Of course, she couldn’t forget her small partners who were busy back and forth with her either. Ji Tian clamped up a piece and pressed it in front of Ling’er, “Ling’er, you hurry and taste it, it’s exceptionally delicious.”

“That… let Qing Yu go first,” Ling’er took a step back, quietly poking her fingers. Although watching Older Sister eat so fragrantly, she still didn’t dare to try QAQ.

“Alright then. Qing Yu, ah,” Ji Tian fed it in front of Qing Yu.

Although feeling extremely moved over being treated this intimately by her master, this odor was way too brainwashing, leaving a person unable to react. Yet her master was still looking at her expectantly. Qing Yu: ……

Qing Yu opened her mouth with tears swimming in her eyes, preparing to hold her breath, swallow it down, and fire off a burst of grand praise. And then, she was stunned; it was actually pretty delicious.

“Your Highness, it’s truly delicious, ah,” the small maid spoke blankly.

“But of course. Ling’er, come taste it.” Toward her own friend, Ji Tian was never stingy about sharing.

Zhou Ling’er looked toward Qing Yu suspiciously, doubting whether she was talking blind nonsense here just to please her master, and opened her mouth half-believing and half-doubting.

No matter how the flavor is, I must say it is delicious. I cannot reject Older Sister’s face. Keep it up, Ling’er, you are the best!

Zhou Ling’er took an ah-wu mouthful, and then…

“So fragrant!!”

Ji Tian raised a thumbs-up of a completed plan. Sure enough, no one could refuse the temptation of stinky tofu.

Of course, there were also those who couldn’t eat spicy food. Ji Tian bestowed a piece to every single servant who had helped her; some people definitely couldn’t appreciate it, but the majority of people liked it nonetheless.

After all, it was a traditional snack that had undergone the test of the tastebuds of countless people from the land of Hua, anyway.

At any rate, the trio of Ji Tian liked it very much. The three of them huddled together to eat a bowl, and the remaining tofu was stored up to be fried next time. Once there was brine water, making it wouldn’t be difficult afterward, bingo!

Ji Tian revealed the hand-gesture of a victor.

The fat chef, who had accepted the absorbing of the stinky odor for a long duration: Life is difficult. In the future, I will never dare to secretly reduce the food and drink expenses of Her Highness the Princess again. Sure enough, she is well-deserved of being Her Highness the Princess; to be able to use even this kind of method just to strike at myself, 5555555

And over on that side, other people also learned of the grand feat of Her Highness the Princess “researching and manufacturing dishes” inside the kitchen.
