Chapter 2423 Waste Princess 11
Proton means that the king sends his children to other countries. Whether they are guests or protons, they are actually being used as hostages.
If the country is strong or the queen in the court is from the same family, the proton's life will be easier. If the country is weak and no one looks after it, then it will lead to a life like a slave. Sometimes they are worse than slaves. At least when other countries come to attack, they will drive slaves as cannon fodder at most, while protons will be hung on the city wall to block bows and arrows. If they dare to attack the city, they will kill the protons first. It would be considered merciful to kill them directly, cut them with one knife, throw them off the city wall section by section, steam them, boil them, or fry them.
It looks like this is a hostage from a weak country.
Xining sighed slightly, turned aside and took out a white bun from the food box, broke it open and stuffed it with a piece of mutton, then handed it over: "You must be hungry."
The boy licked his lips. His mouth was swollen and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth. After hesitating, he took the steamed bun with meat and started eating it in big mouthfuls. He looked like he was gobbling it down, obviously he was hungry.
Seeing this, she took another steamed bun from the food box, also put a piece of meat in it, and handed it over.
The boy who had eaten half of the meal was stunned, but his hand covered with dirt and scars still reached out and took the bun. The hostility and vigilance in his eyes were obviously gone.
"I will pass by here tomorrow." After leaving a message, she left.
Chun'er glared at the boy with dissatisfaction and followed him: "Princess, why do we give him food? We don't even have enough."
"Just because he is suffering more than us, at least we are still in our own country and have a place to complain."
This is the truth. Without the Queen Mother's sincere invitation, at least she is a princess. No matter how demanding she is in terms of materials, she would not dare to beat her easily. At most, she would scold and ridicule him in a twisted way.
Back in the house, the food box was placed on the table and opened. It contained a whole chicken, a plate of meat, a plate of vegetables, and four large white buns. Subtracting the two that were given away just now, a total of six steamed buns were given. Just one chicken exceeded her quota, and as expected, she could eat meat just by holding her thick legs.
Chun'er swallowed her saliva: "Princess, can this servant eat it?"
She nodded: "Eat. Save some for dinner."
Chun'er immediately went to get the bowl and chopsticks, picked out the chicken part, cut off the head, feet, tail and internal organs, closed the lid of the food box, put it aside, took the bowl to the side and ate. One bite of steamed bun, one bite of vegetable, which was delicious, and finally the chicken.
Xining sat with his legs crossed, thinking about something on his mind.
After Chun'er finished eating, she went to the yard to fetch water and wash her hands. Then he went to get the needle and thread, and knelt down next to him to make a money bag: "Now that I finally have some money, I want to change the silver into loose money, and put ten or five pieces in the money bag."

It's because she felt sorry that she had received too many rewards, and she would kill him as soon as she made a move.
But this small amount of money is only enough to pay for the little palace servants. If it is a steward, it is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth. In the current situation, if you want to get things done, you can only rely on money. Why do you need money when your life is gone?
It's easy to rely on money. For example, Ziling, who is beside the Queen Mother, can't be knocked down even with money. There is also the concubine, Mrs. Jiang Shu, who has caused the current tense relationship. Even a three to five hundred taels may not be able to calm her down.
Watching Chun'er make money bags, people use purses to carry money, and they also have patterns embroidered on them. But Chun'er was too young and had no one to teach her, so she just made small cloth bags as money bags.
"Chun'er, don't do it, just get three or five." She simply lay down on her side, and it felt so good to lie flat.
In the evening, Chun'er heated up the chicken, and the two of them tore into the chicken and ate it. They were full without eating the steamed buns.
While sleeping, Chun'er lay next to her, contented: "Princess, my servant is so full, just like in a dream. It would be great if I could eat full every day!"
"Not only can we have enough to eat." Xining said with certainty: "In the future, we will have bowls of ice cream to eat in the summer, thick clothes and quilts in the winter, and plenty of charcoal fires. As long as you listen to me."
< br>
Chun'er immediately expressed her position: "My maid obeys the princess and everything she wants."
The next day, early in the morning, she took Chun'er to the Queen Mother's small kitchen.
When the Queen Mother got up to eat, a small bowl of meat dumplings was placed on the table. Xi Ning sat directly opposite the Queen Mother. The first time she was familiar with the situation, the second time she was familiar with her. Next time, she would be thick-skinned and not play with this false courtesy. "Grandma, try it and see if it tastes right." She smiled and handed over the chopsticks with both hands, looking eager.
"Okay, try it." The Queen Mother smiled and took the chopsticks, picked up some spicy food and tasted it, her eyebrows twitched: "It's so fragrant, I didn't expect that the green onions and peppercorns, all put down, actually covered up the smell of the mutton. ”
He took some more and put it in his mouth, squinting and tasting it carefully: "It has a burnt aroma, as if it contains ginger, but you can't taste the minced ginger...well, there is also fennel."
"Grandma is really amazing. You can tell it as soon as you taste it." She flattered, watching the Queen Mother pick up the steamed buns, take a small bite of the steamed buns, and eat a small bite of the steamed buns. He spoke slowly, as if chatting: "The cook in the kitchen said that my grandmother doesn't like ginger and never drinks ginger soup. Everything that needs ginger in the kitchen is cut into slices, not minced."
"But ginger is a good thing, how can you not eat it? Mo'er chopped the ginger into powder, put various ingredients into a small bag, cut the mutton into thin slices and marinated it with the ingredients. Take the meat out after half an hour Roast it over a high fire until it’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Chop it into pieces and then cook it over high heat.”
The Queen Mother smiled: "In order to let the Aijia eat ginger, we have to worry about chopping and pickling it."
Xining made a pun: "It's just ginger. As long as grandma wants to eat it, grandma can naturally eat it."
Empress Liang's surname was Jiang. The Empress Dowager was stunned and then smiled.
In order to make the Queen Mother happy, Ziling next to her added a few words: "That's natural. As long as the Queen Mother is willing, she will definitely eat to death."
The Queen Mother laughed heartily and tapped Ziling with her chopsticks. Others in the hall were standing and laughing together; those kneeling had their heads lowered and did not dare to breathe.
The Queen Mother ate the mutton sautee, ate the whole white membrane, and drank a small bowl of corn porridge. I just couldn't eat anymore, so I stopped.
Looking at the almost finished bowl: "How many have you made?"
"There are two more bowls left." She replied: "One bowl is reserved for grandma to eat at night, and one bowl is for Aunt Ziling. Aunt Ziling knows grandma's taste best. After letting her taste it, she can make some suggestions. ”
The Queen Mother nodded, that's fine. Ziling next to her said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I have one too. It's thanks to the Queen Mother and the Princess."
"Now that you're full, let's eat. Mo'er, go for a walk with the Ai family." The Queen Mother raised her hand, and Ziling hurriedly went to help her.
Xining stood up and held the other arm of the Queen Mother. The three of them went to the garden, followed by Ulala and about ten people.
"Queen Mother, this flower blooms so beautifully."
"Grandma, the lotus flowers are in bloom. They will bloom more this year."
Two people say one thing to the left and the other to the right, so there is no room for silence. Along the way, people from the palace encountered him, and they all stepped aside and knelt down.
This is the palace, the roads are walked by those in power, not to mention the flowers are blooming for those in power, and people also live for those in power.
In the garden, the wind is sunny and the flowers are in full bloom.
Queen Mother: "Mo'er, thank you for coming here early every morning."
"Mo'er doesn't have to work hard. Mo'er can only make some snacks. As long as grandma can eat one more bite. If you can make grandma happy, Mo'er will be happy too." You are my sister's thick legs, and I will hold her tightly even to death.
The Queen Mother seemed very moved: "I know you have filial piety. If I don't reward you with anything, it seems stingy. Tell me what you want."
While Big Thick Legs was happy, he quickly said: "Grandma, I really want you to reward me... we have run out of salt."
