Chapter 70: Chapter 70: IndulgenceXie Jingchen put down the book and came over.
Su Jin looked at him.
"Young Master Xie, the new breed of chicken you wanted has been created. It has nothing but legs under its head, a total of ten," Su Jin said.
"...."
"And duck wings," Xingxing added.
"...."
"Yes, and it grew two pairs of duck wings. Can you imagine what that chicken looked like when it was alive?" Su Jin asked earnestly.
"...."
Su Jin felt ashamed.
She thought she had a rich imagination.
But she couldn’t possibly figure out how this chicken grew.
She really didn’t know what the kitchen steward was thinking.
Without the chicken head and duck wings, it’s just a plate of braised chicken legs.
Why add unnecessary embellishments?
Xie Jingchen sat down, looked at the plate of chicken legs, and his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
It was a joke, but the kitchen took it seriously.
Su Jin picked up the chicken head and said, "The significance of this chicken head should be to prove to you, Young Master Xie, that this is really just one chicken, and these legs aren’t borrowed from other chickens."
Xie Jingchen, "...."
Su Jin picked up the duck wing.
"But as for this duck wing, I don’t get it."
Xingxing cheerfully said, "I know, it must be because the chicken wings were too small. With so many legs, the chicken couldn’t fly, so it needed bigger duck wings."
Su Jin nodded, "Your explanation is very reasonable."
Xie Jingchen silently picked up his bowl to eat.
He didn’t want to say.
He just simply liked eating chicken legs and duck wings.
"But this chicken is quite endearing. It would be even better if it didn’t have a head," Su Jin said.
"...."
Ahem ahem!
Xie Jingchen choked.
He coughed several times, "Can you let me eat in peace?"
"Okay, okay, I won’t say anymore, lest I let this chicken down," Su Jin said.
"...."
"Wait, let me just say one more thing. I hope the chickens in Agarwood Pavilion will all grow like this in the future," Su Jin said.
"...."
"Just this one, cherish it," Xie Jingchen said while eating.
"Why?" Su Jin asked.
"Because the rest of the Duke Mansion won’t agree," Xie Jingchen said.
"...."
Ancient times are really troublesome.
To eat a plate of braised chicken legs, you even need other chickens... I mean, other people’s consent.
At this moment.
In the South Courtyard.
Third Madam, after eating a chicken leg,
Why would they say the Young Master’s mind is not normal?
"The Young Master’s pulse is chaotic, and I can’t quite make it out at the moment. Why do you think the Young Master is not normal?" the Imperial Physician asked cautiously.
Mrs. Zhao explained truthfully, "The Young Master actually wants a chicken to grow more legs, does that sound like something a normal person would say?"
The Imperial Physician, "...".
How could Young Master Xie possibly have said that? Was there a mistake?
Could it be that as his poison was gradually being cleared, he was pretending to be a fool for safety?
It must be so.
The Imperial Physician believed the Young Master was smart, he cautiously replied, "Nothing unusual can be detected from the Young Master’s pulse, but such unreasonable demands must not be indulged. Otherwise, even if there’s no issue, one will develop sooner or later."
Princess Nanzhang nodded.
The maid escorted the Imperial Physician out.
After the Imperial Physician left, Princess Nanzhang said, "You know what to do, right?"
Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "I will inform the main kitchen right away that in the future, whatever the Young Master requests, he will get."
"Also, spread the word to the servants of the mansion, they are not allowed to gossip about this matter."
"I understand."
