Zhu Youji's coughing sound lingered in Li Mu'er's heart from time to time, and even when he fell asleep just now, he seemed to be able to hear his cough, so he woke up suddenly, and got up at a loss. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This night, she was awakened by the cough that filled her mind when she couldn't sleep, but this time she was no longer at a loss, and decided to find a way for him.

The Forbidden City in the middle of the night is unusually quiet. After Li Mu'er passed through the Rijing Gate, she saw the lead cloud hanging low. After walking along the road to the Mandarin Hall for a while, the sky finally began to fall with snow beads, which crackled softly on the glazed tiles she passed. The sound of the snow was dense and urgent, and after a while, I saw that the houses in the distance had been covered with a thin layer of innocence.

The wind blew the snow and hit the face. Li Mu'er had no choice but to speed up her pace and hurriedly walked to the front of Qingning Palace.

As soon as a person from the palace came out of the palace gate, Li Mu'er recognized him as the envoy of Qingning Palace, so he stopped him and said, "My father-in-law has reported that the female bachelor of Qianqing Palace has come to visit Zheng Niangzi." ”

"Yo, the female bachelor came unfortunately, Mrs. Zheng just went to the Shangshi Bureau on the front foot. The pastries that the old lady suddenly wanted to eat, there were not enough materials in the small kitchen of Qingning Palace. ”

"It's so much better." Li Mu'er thanked the envoy and left.

……………………

Walking back to the Shangshi Bureau, Li Mu'er was covered in snow. When she passed by the food bureau and saw that there were still lights, she didn't notice to stop. When I entered the door at this moment, I found that Zheng Jinlian was really here alone, patiently eating and eating.

Seeing Li Mu'er suddenly appear, Zheng Jinlian was a little surprised, and said with a different expression: "Why did the female bachelor come here late at night?" ”

Her face was covered with snow, and when she approached the brazier, it instantly melted into water, and fell down her forehead one by one. finally wiped her cheeks with her cuffs before she spoke: "Zheng Jinlian, we Mingren don't talk darkly. Is your sugar pear soup really useful for the emperor's cough? ”

Zheng Jinlian looked at her embarrassed appearance again. It turned out that she went back and forth to find her despite the wind and snow, just for that bowl of sugar and pear soup?

This made Zheng Jinlian suddenly remember that when she was young, she was the same when she was unworldly, braving the cold and being a little slave, looking for home remedies and testing the properties of the medicine, before finding the right formula.

After so many years, the thoughts of simply thinking about him at that time have long been eliminated, and they are not as good as the person who came after him......

"Hmm."

Hearing Zheng Jinlian's soft response, Li Mu'er's face showed a little joy, but in a blink of an eye, it turned into worry again, and asked uncertainly: "Then, can you teach me to make this bowl of sugar and pear soup?" ”

The reason why I am worried is because Li Muer herself knows that this request may be difficult for Zheng Jinlian, who has "fallen out of favor", to agree.

Sure enough, Zheng Jinlian didn't answer and asked: "I teach you this secret recipe, what good will it do me?" ”

"Zheng Jinlian," Li Mu'er said with a straight face, "Do you feel good when you look at the emperor's upset?" The **** can be seen clearly outside Qingning Palace, and the care for the emperor in your eyes is definitely not pretended. Since you care about him, what's the harm in teaching me? ”

Zheng Jinlian actually laughed out loud when she heard this, "Female bachelor, female bachelor, you are wrong." If I really cared about the emperor, I would have told the emperor's imperial kitchen or imperial doctor this secret recipe a long time ago, so why did I have to give it to the emperor in person? Besides, if I am willing to teach, I will not teach you, so that you will be in the limelight in vain! ”

What she said was very reasonable, but Li Mu'er was negligent.

"Do you really think that everyone is like you and don't care about returns? Everyone in this palace, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, including me, all pay attention to bartering and friendship. Who will do what is not beneficial? ”

Li Mu'er sighed, maybe she had been out of the palace for a long time, and she really forgot the rules of survival in this harem. But now that he came, he had to ask, "Then you say, what benefits do you want?" ”

Zheng Jinlian put away her smile when she heard this, put down the work in her hand and got up, rubbed her hands and said, "It's very simple, let me go back to Qianqing Palace." ”

Li Mu'er pulled her legs and wanted to leave, "I can't be the master of this, so I will leave." ”

As soon as she turned around and walked to the door, Zheng Jinlian's voice came from behind again, "The female bachelor is so stingy that she can't even make a joke." The slave and maid teach you that's it. ”

Her voice was quite gentle, could it be that her conscience suddenly found out? Li Mu'er turned her back to her and didn't see her expression, so she could only speculate.

When she turned around, Zheng Jinlian had already looked away and began to prepare the materials to be used.

"Are you really willing to teach me?"

"Hmm."

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Zheng Jinlian did not answer. It's not a sudden change of mind. When she saw her covered in snow, she decided to grant her wish.

But Fang Cai told the truth, and the purpose seemed to be just to make herself look more ruthless and closer to the Zheng Jinlian she knew. Everything in the harem asks for exchange, and Zheng Jinlian, who was dedicated to him back then, has now become such a person, she hopes that this one in front of her can always live up to her original intention; On the other hand, he is also afraid of being discovered, and he used to be the one who lived up to his original intention......

What Zheng Jinlian didn't expect was that the female bachelor, who was only eight years tall and capable of writing and martial arts, was clumsy and surprising when she held the spoon.

When another peeling pear "Gu Lulu" rolled from her hand and fell to the ground, Zheng Jinlian finally couldn't help laughing.

Li Mu'er was embarrassed, hurriedly picked up a smaller one, and said, "I'm not very good at these." ”

Zheng Jinlian's gaze followed the pear and looked out of the room, the snow flakes seemed to be smaller, but they were still fine and dense, like sifting salt, like flying flotsam, falling silently. On the nearby green brick ground, there is no white cyan, but as if it has been splashed with flour bags, and the ground is white.

Turning his head to look at the pastry of the Empress Dowager who had been put aside for the time being, he suddenly remembered what the Empress Dowager had said to her a few days ago.

After the Empress Dowager helped her up that day, she said to herself: "It is said that a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff." After she is a criminal minister, she is obviously weak, but she is a cockroach that can't be killed, and she has repeatedly performed miraculous feats to win the hearts of Zhu'er......" She paused, and then said sharply, "Recently, the queen's relatives are very arrogant. ”

Zheng Jinlian was taken aback, the Empress Dowager once said that the only person who can restrain the queen is the female bachelor. Is this going to start dealing with the Queen? Thinking of this, she tentatively said: "The Empress Dowager wants to borrow the hand of a female bachelor......"

"No," the Empress Dowager glanced in the direction of Kunning Palace from afar, turned around and smiled at her dotingly, "Silly girl, it's the queen's hand to deal with the female bachelor." ”

……………………

"Isn't that so?"

Li Mu'er's words pulled Zheng Jinlian's thoughts back. She nodded, and when she saw Li Mu'er grinning and continuing with satisfaction, she suddenly felt a little unbearable, and said softly: "Bachelor girl, you have to be careful of the queen." ”

"What?"

"Nothing, go ahead."

Zheng Jinlian thought that the person the Empress Dowager wanted to use was nothing more than the queen alone...... (To be continued.) )
