"Lotus Leaf~~!Lotus Leaf~~!" Qimeng, who was looking left and right, hurriedly stopped her when she saw Lotus Leaf walking past her, "Lotus Leaf, I'm a little uncomfortable, you can help me get this first!"
After Qimeng finished saying this, she didn't care whether Lotus Ye agreed or not, she just stood up and left. Although the child Lotus Ye said that she was very honest in her work, it didn't mean that she was stupid, and even if she was a little maid in this kind of place, she would have to have a few more eyes than others.
"I heard that this mung bean is used to make mung bean cake, and the prince likes to eat this kind of mung bean cake very much!" Lotus Ye looked at Qimeng's back and said lightly.
Lotus's words were like a fixation spell, and she suddenly fixed Qimeng there, she turned her head to look at Lotus with some hesitation and asked, "This mung bean is made of mung bean cake for the prince to eat?"
"Of course!" After Lotus finished speaking, a sneer rose at the corner of her mouth, "This was already very clear to Sister Luru yesterday, the prince likes to eat mung bean cake made by Mrs. very much, and it is said to be very refreshing!"
"That~~ I'm all right now, I'll get this thing!" Qimeng touched his nose and went back again, and began to rub the mung beans hard.
In fact, it is not difficult to do this work, but it is just a little tedious, but now that she learned that this is a pastry prepared for Duanmu Shuxuan, Qimeng immediately felt full of strength, and she not only removed all the bean skins, but also took over the rest of the work, but fortunately, the rest of the work is relatively simple, so she can complete it smoothly.
Qimeng came to Li Hui with a little pride in holding the mung beans that were ground into sand after being steamed, "Madame, can you take a look at this?"
Although Li Hui is very strange about how Qimeng can be so diligent today, there are a lot of things today, so Li Hui is not willing to pay more attention to Qimeng.
"Well, that's good!" Li Hui took a little mung bean paste with his hand to see the fineness, "Go and get the condensed milk that was boiled before!"
Shuo'er brought a jar of condensed milk, Li Hui scooped out some condensed milk with a big spoon and mixed it into the mung bean paste, and when the sweetness was right, he asked Qimeng to divide the mung bean puree into small pieces, and then pressed it into the mold, and after knocking it out, it became a beautiful mung bean cake.
This step is the easiest, so Li Hui didn't look for someone else to do it, or let Qimeng get this, and Qimeng started to make it uncharacteristically, and soon those mung bean cakes were ready.
Looking at the mung bean cake she made by herself, Qimeng's heart was not to mention how happy, she saw that everyone was busy and no one paid attention to her, so she quietly picked up a plate of mung bean cake and put it in a small food box, and then went back to the room with the food box first, and after changing into a new clothes, she quietly avoided everyone and went out of the yard.
"I'm here to bring snacks to the prince!" Qimeng stood at the door of the small study and said to the guard at the door, "This is the mung bean cake that our wife just made, let me send it to the prince first!"
As soon as the guard heard that it was Li Hui who sent the dim sum, he went to tell him first, and then nodded and asked Qimeng to send the dim sum directly. Qi Meng, who entered the small study, did not immediately go into the calligraphy, but first pulled his collar down, and squeezed his chest hard, took out a small bottle from the purse, opened it and sprinkled it on his body, and sorted out the clothes on his body, and then carried the food box and twisted the waist of the water snake to go inside.
"Lord Wang~!This is the mung bean cake that Mrs. Li just made!Send it to the prince to taste!" Qi Mengjiao said and took out the mung bean cake, and did not put it on the table, but held it in her hand and sent it to Duanmu Shuxuan with a smile.
Duanmu Shuxuan's attention from the beginning was on Qimeng's body, and now when he saw Qimeng standing in front of him holding mung bean cake, a faint fragrance came from Qimeng's body, Duanmu Shuxuan only felt a sudden rush of heat in his heart, he reached out and grabbed Qimeng's wrist, and Qimeng fell into his arms with a force, and the plate of mung bean cake also fell into the carpet.

"Where have you been to Qimeng, why haven't you seen you for half a day?" Lianzhu, the maid who lived with Qimeng, frowned and asked her when she saw Qimeng coming back, everyone has been busy because of the eldest son's birthday banquet in the past two days, but Qimeng is lazy and doesn't say anything, and today she can't find anyone since the aftermath, but Mrs. has never said half a sentence about her, so Lianzhu doesn't like Qimeng very much in her heart.
"Hmph~!It has nothing to do with you where I go!" Qimeng glared at Lian Zhu, and then directly lay down on the bed, put the quilt on his body, covered his head, and never said a word again.
Qi Meng, who was lying on the bed, had mixed feelings in her heart, she spent so much effort to run from Concubine Luo to the Li family to be a little maid for what, not to be able to climb into the prince's bed, although she said that she got her wish today and climbed into the prince's bed, but she didn't expect that in the end, she was given a bowl of decoction by the prince, this is not what she wants, she also wants to conceive a prince's child, and then she can become the real master!
Li Hui didn't know about Qimeng, in fact, even if Li Hui knew, she wouldn't care about anything, everyone's pursuit must be different, and there is no need to impose her will on others. After saying that this dream can climb into the prince's bed, it is also her own ability, and Li Hui will never interfere.
After the birthday of the eldest son, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but everyone found the transformation of Qimeng at this time, it turned out that every time she worked, she found an excuse to be lazy, but now she is obsessed with making dim sum, everyone thinks that Qimeng has changed, but Li Hui feels that there must be a problem in this, she asked Luru to investigate secretly, and sure enough, she found a problem!
"Are you saying that Qimeng secretly sends snacks to the prince every time!And he has to stay at the prince's place for an hour every time?" Li Hui frowned after listening to Lu Ru's report.
"Yes!" Speaking of this, Lu Ru's face was very ugly, and after hesitating for a moment, she said: "And every time Qi Meng comes out, she is a little disheveled! She was originally Concubine Luo's person, and she knows what she did with her toes!
"Don't care what other people do!" Li Hui waved his hand indifferently and said: "It has nothing to do with us what others do! That Qimeng is not a person who keeps to herself, I am not surprised that she will take this step, we just need to take care of ourselves, don't spread the news, don't make other people panic!"
"Yes~!" Luru nodded, but she quickly raised her head and said unwillingly, "But we just don't care about anything?"
Li Hui said indifferently: "We can't control other people's thoughts, let them go if they have ideas, we can still control the thoughts in their hearts, just so we can also take a look at the real thoughts in the hearts of these people!"
Lu Ru thought for a while and felt that what the master said was very right, the master she was not a person in this palace, and there was nothing to rely on behind her, and the people around her would never dare to have two hearts, otherwise the master's situation would be too dangerous, if you can really test everyone through this matter, it is also a good thing.

"I think this color looks good! You look good in clothes of this color at your age!" Princess Mu picked up a piece of brightly colored clothing and said to Li Hui, "The color of your clothes is too dark!"
Li Hui smiled faintly and said: "The princess is very grateful for the slave maid, but the slave maid is in the kitchen every day, and this color can't be worn! If the princess really wants to reward the slave maid, then give the slave and maid some more ingredients!"
"You, why are you all focused on this!" Princess Mu didn't know what to say when she heard Li Hui say this, and after such a long time of observation, she also found that Li Hui really didn't have any thoughts about Duanmu Shuxuan, that is, because of this, Princess Mu had a special preference for Li Hui.
"You're just an idiot!" Princess Mu smiled and pointed her finger at Li Hui and said to Chang's mother: "Mom will pass on my words and let people find more ingredients to come back!
"Yes~!" Chang's mother hurriedly responded with a smile.
"Then the slave maid thanked the princess for her love first!" Li Hui hurriedly thanked her, but after she said this, she said: "The princess is getting colder and colder, and there are very few vegetables to eat, so the slave maid also wants to make a warm house in the yard, and then we can eat fresh vegetables in the winter!"
"Make a greenhouse?" Princess Mu frowned and said, "Do you still know this?"
It's not that Princess Mu doesn't believe in Li Hui, but this greenhouse is not so easy to get, and everyone who understands these must regard this as a unique secret technique, and outsiders can understand it a little!
"Yes, the slave has studied a thing or two!" Li Hui also knows that this greenhouse is not a big road commodity here, although it is not difficult for him to say this thing, but it is not easy to open his mouth and say that this is very simple.
"Oh~!" Princess Mu looked at Li Hui in surprise and said, "I really didn't expect you to even know this, I'm curious, what else do you don't understand at this time!"
"Okay~!Since you can get out of the greenhouse, it's also a good thing, this place in Sanyin is much longer in winter than other places, if you can get out of the greenhouse, you can also have fresh vegetables to eat in winter, that's a good thing!" Princess Mu just thought about it for a while and agreed to Li Hui's proposal.
"Slave and concubine thank you!" Li Hui heard that Princess Mu agreed to her proposal, and she hurriedly thanked her.
Li Hui returned to her room and poured herself a glass of water and drank it all, and then she asked Shuo'er to summon Shuo'er, and after retreating, she asked Shuo'er to close the doors and windows.
"I suggested to the princess today to get a conservatory in this garden, and the princess has agreed, and handed over the matter of building the conservatory to me, and tomorrow you and Luru will go to the big housekeeper to get the funds to build the conservator!
"Yes!" Shuo'er nodded hurriedly.
At this time, Li Hui leaned forward sideways and whispered to Shuo'er: "You raise this by three percent, don't let people find out!"
Li Hui will say this because Shuo'er is not only good at arithmetic, but he is also good at doing these things, and if this matter is handed over to Shuo'er, he can definitely smooth out this account.
"Girl, don't worry!" Although Li Hui has now become the concubine of the King of Sanyin, he still regards Li Hui as the girl he serves in his heart.
Shuo'er spent one night estimating the cost of building a greenhouse, and then the next day he and Luru took the princess's warrant to the chief steward to pay a thousand taels of silver, and found a secluded place in the garden to start building a greenhouse. In fact, the construction of this conservatory is not complicated, according to Li Hui's drawings, only three walls need to be built, and the side walls on both sides are built into a triangle, and the house does not build a roof, but gets glass and fixes it with wooden strips as a ceiling.
There is no glass here, but there is a manufacturing of glass, and the manufacture of glass is much simpler than glass, Li Hui said roughly the glass production process, a few days later Li Hui received a piece of glass, but this piece of glass is uneven and there is a lot of gas in it, which makes Li Hui very dissatisfied, after a tantrum let people rework in the doing, so it was repeated seven or eight times to make Li Hui satisfied with the glass, Li Hui asked the craftsmen to work overtime to install the glass, and on this on the thatch woven out of a thick curtain, the greenhouse is finally completed。
Although the temperature has dropped to zero, the greenhouse is warm like spring, and all kinds of vegetables on the top of the fields that have been divided into small plots are growing well, although these vegetables have not yet reached the maturity stage, but just looking at this state makes people look forward to it. A month later, Li Hui's dishes made with those freshly ripe vegetables were presented in front of everyone.
Seeing such fresh vegetables in the winter immediately made Duanmu Shuxuan's appetite great, and immediately instructed Li Hui to let her expand the scale of the greenhouse, so as to facilitate the supply of sufficient vegetables for the masters in the palace to enjoy, for this requirement Li Hui of course was happy to accept the order, at the same cost Li Hui built three greenhouses out, and with the completion of these greenhouses, there is a lot more green on the dining table in the palace in winter.
