Chapter 205: Get Out If You Don’t Say It
Shen Qingyan covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and lowered her eyes to look at the bowl.
The white, long strips of food are rounder and thicker than noodles, and are paired with some white bamboo shoots, beans, peanuts, and slices of something that looks like dried tofu.
Finally, the maid added a golden fried egg and a few slices of sausage.
Shen Qingyan had never seen this kind of food in her two lifetimes and couldn't help but be curious.
"What kind of food is this? I've never seen it in the capital."
Qiu Ying was a little proud and said loudly: "This is called snail rice noodle, which is our modern food. It's just that we couldn't find suitable snails to eat, so we used other things instead."
"Try it quickly!"
Meeting Qiu Ying's enthusiastic and expectant eyes, Shen Qingyan's doubts were still there.
Where is the modern era? The fief of King Yu doesn't seem to be called this name. Could it be a state city there that she has never heard of?
Qingmei couldn't help but say, "Princess Yu, our princess is very sick of morning sickness, and may not be able to eat something with a strong smell..."
Qiu Ying interrupted her with some dissatisfaction, "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious. It is your queen's decision whether to eat it or not. If you want to show your loyalty, do you dare to try it for your queen?"
Qingmei's expression changed slightly, but she did not retreat.
She said with a firm voice, "I am willing to taste the food for you, Madam Princess."
After saying that, without waiting for Shen Qingyan to stop him, he directly picked up a piece of snail noodles with chopsticks and ate it with his eyes closed.
Before putting it into your mouth, it still has a strong stench, but after putting it into your mouth, the taste is different. The coarse noodles covered with thick soup have a strong salty fragrance, a silky texture, and break with a light bite.
After finishing the meal in one bite, Qingmei licked her lips unconsciously.
good to eat!
Qiu Ying looked at her with a half-smile, raised her eyebrows and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
This is also the question that Shen Qingyan and Zhiqing want to ask.
Qingmei looked at Shen Qingyan and nodded honestly.
"As Princess Yu said, it does smell bad but tastes good, but can a pregnant woman really eat it?"
The prince has specifically instructed that the princess should not eat food of unknown origin. I just don’t know if the kitchen can make the same stinky and fragrant vermicelli.
Qiu Ying smiled brightly and pushed the bowl towards Shen Qingyan.
"Don't worry, I'm pregnant and have been eating this all the time, and I personally selected the ingredients for these things, so it'll be fine."
Shen Qingyan was curious and thought that if Qiu Ying really wanted to harm her, she wouldn't be stupid enough to be so blatant, so she took the new chopsticks handed to her by Zhiqing and tasted the so-called snail noodles.
After taking a bite, her eyes widened immediately.
I became even more curious.
How is this magical food made? Why does it smell stinky but taste so delicious?
"Is it delicious? Try the side dishes."
After Qiu Ying finished speaking, she couldn't wait to start eating.
Shen Qingyan also tried it and found it very delicious.
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Qiu Ying felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.
After Shen Qingyan finished a small bowl, Qiu Ying slowly spoke.
"Actually, I have one more thing I want to discuss with you."
Shen Qingyan: “…”
If I had known earlier, I would not have eaten this damn snail noodle. It turns out that there was something waiting for her later.
As the saying goes, a person who benefits from others will be soft-hearted, and a person who takes advantage of others will be reluctant to return the favor. Could it be that Qiu Ying was sent by King Yu to lure her into a trap?
Could it be related to the prince?
It turns out that pregnant women do tend to have wild thoughts, and Qiu Ying's next words surprised her.
"I heard that you opened a Fengxing Pavilion in Beijing and your business is booming. I envy you, so I want to start this snail noodle business with you. How about opening a store together?"
Shen Qingyan asked uncertainly, "Aunt Huang, are you sure you just want to do business with me?"
Qiu Ying thought about it and suddenly lowered her voice, "If you promise me, I can let my wife stand on your prince's side so that we can fight against the emperor together."
After these words were spoken, Shen Qingyan was shocked.
How did she know that they were going to deal with the emperor?
"Don't worry, we have no other intentions even if we know about it. I just want to join hands with you to do business."
However, Shen Qingyan was already on guard, and her voice became a little colder.
"Aunt Huang may have misunderstood. I don't have any talent for business. My mother actually started Fengxing Pavilion from scratch. I just changed the name. If Aunt Huang really wants to do this snail noodle business, you should find someone else."
A flash of embarrassment passed across Qiu Ying's face, and then she looked relieved.
"It's okay, I'll come back another day."
Then he turned around and left without any entanglement.
Shen Qingyan looked at her back as she walked away, her brows furrowed.
What exactly is Qiu Ying's intention? Was she sent by Gu Wenyu? Is she related to the prince?
A series of questions made Shen Qingyan feel confused. Zhiqing asked softly, "Princess, do you want me to investigate?"
Shen Qingyan nodded, "Okay."
Shen Qingyan had a lot on her mind and couldn't sleep, and then someone came to cause trouble.
Feng Yue'er barged in with a licking face.
Shen Qingyan hasn't seen her for a long time since she was punished to clean the private room after snatching it last time.
I heard that she was put in solitary confinement by her parents for a period of time and was only released recently. When she came out, she found that the situation had changed.
Good sister Shen Yunjiao not only became a prisoner, but also a fugitive.
In the past, other little sisters avoided her like the plague and were unwilling to associate with her at all.
She suddenly became like a rat crossing the street.
After assessing the situation, she decided to seek refuge with Shen Qingyan.
It just so happened that she accidentally saw a very shocking scene. She decided not to make it public, but to come to Shen Qingyan to take credit in order to gain her trust and become friends with her.
"My Lady Princess, I have something important to say!"
Ignoring the guards' attempts to pull her back, Feng Yue'er began to howl at the top of her lungs.
Shen Qingyan asked the guard to let her go and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Feng Yue'er took a breath and glanced around with her almond-shaped eyes, her intentions were obvious.
Shen Qingyan sneered in her heart. No matter what Feng Yue'er was going to say, just take it as adding a bit of fun to her boring life.
So she dismissed the servants and only kept Qingmei and Zhiqing by her side.
"explain."
Feng Yue'er was still a little worried and looked at Qingmei and Zhiqing, but Shen Qingyan didn't let them go down at all.
She licked her lips, deliberately keeping the secret.
"My Lady Princess, I'm a little thirsty after running all the way here. Can I have some tea first?"
Humph, looking at your expression, it’s obvious that you know nothing, so there’s no need for her to be so humble.
Shen Qingyan suddenly chuckled, lowered her eyes to look at her, and slowly uttered a few words.
"If you don't tell me, get out."
