The winter days are short, it is already the middle of the hour, the half-bent waning moon in the sky, a few points of microstar, not yet to the west, the sky is slightly white, the east palace that has been silent all night, slowly wake up.

"Lin Zhangshi, is the fragrant soup ready? There is also white fungus and red date soup that the lady uses to get up early. "Hongsang led a team of palace maids and waited outside the small kitchen.

Lin Zhangshi opened the kitchen door, the heat rushed out like white smoke, and the unique fragrance of peach blossoms hit the end of his nose, "It's just right, you guys can get it." Lin Zhangshi said with a smile.

The winter days in Shangdu are a little dry, and the fragrant soup that Su Yan uses to wash every morning is boiled with various fragrant flowers. Compared with other fragrant flowers, Su Yan after pregnancy prefers peach blossom soup.

Peach blossom has the sweet and pungent taste of peach blossom, slightly warm in nature, and has the effects of invigorating blood and pleasing the skin, diuretic, removing blood stasis and relieving pain, and at the same time, it also has the effect of beautifying, whitening and lightening spots. As a pregnant woman, Su Yan can't eat foods that need to be eaten, such as peach blossom wine and peach blossom porridge, but there is no problem with external use. As a girl who loves beauty, she often has to wash her face with peach blossom soup.

As for the red date and white fungus soup used every morning, it was the prince's idea. Originally, he asked people to stew a bowl of bird's nest for Su Yan every day, but unfortunately his family Qingqing refused to eat the bird's nest.

When Miss Su was a child, when she was held by Su Zhoucheng to look at the swallows, Su Xiangye casually talked about the origin of the bird's nest, and pointed to his wife who was eating bird's nest and teased his daughter: "Good girl, you see that the bird's nest is the home of the little swallow, and it takes a long time to take one, but it was picked off and eaten as a tonic, you say the little swallow is not pitiful?" ”

The little Su Yan widened her eyes, wrinkled her little nose and whispered, "There are so many branches and hairs in bird's nest, will anyone really eat it?" ”

Su Xiang nodded solemnly, "The edible bird's nest is made of a special swallow's saliva, which is different from what you see now." However, there is indeed a lot of hair. ”

The expression of the young Su Yan at that time, Su Xiangye still remembers it vividly. However, casually flirting with a particularly smart Lori will be punished. The sequelae of this incident is that Su Yan no longer allows the Lu family to eat bird's nest. found that his mother was secretly eating, and without saying a word, he began to drop the golden beans, and cried until the Lu family raised his hand to surrender and swore that he would never use bird's nest again. For this, Su Xiangye slept in the study for nearly a month.

As a good husband with three obedience and four virtues, the prince refused to let the bird's nest enter the East Palace, and even the original ones were thrown to his father.

Many years later, the crown prince ascended the throne as emperor, and bird's nest, a precious tonic, has since disappeared from the court. Even because of the emperor's preference, even the capital is rarely sold.

The fragrant soup with the aroma of peach blossoms was poured into a thermos bucket, and then carefully sealed, carried by several palace maids, and sent to the small tea room next to the Lizheng Hall together with the small soup pot containing translucent red dates and white fungus soup in the food box.

Zifang, who had been waiting in the small tea room for a long time, took the food box first, took out the small soup pot and put it on the small stove, and fed it slowly, and when Su Yan got up, the taste was just right.

Hongsang roasted his hands by the stove and said with a smile: "It seems that today will be a rare sunny day, and the wind has stopped, and the lady will be happy." "Since the first snow fell in a long time, the sky has not been sunny in Shangdu for a long time, and it has not snowed since then, and the sky is also cloudy, blowing a biting cold wind.

The plum blossoms in the back garden of the East Palace had already bloomed, and Su Yan didn't wait for a good day to enjoy the plum blossoms. Although it is said to be a plum blossom after the snow, it is better if it is sunny, or the sky is cloudy, and the plum blossoms lose some color.

Zifang was a little worried, "The Qimei Pavilion in the back garden has not been used for a long time, even if there are more stoves, it will inevitably be cold." The lady is now pregnant with a little master, what if it freezes? ”

"Your Royal Highness loves the lady so much, I'm afraid she won't let the lady go to Qimei Pavilion to enjoy the plums, right?" A new palace maid, crisp and lively.

Zifang and Hongsang both looked at the person who spoke, it was a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old with double buns, with a pleasant apple face, big round eyes with nervousness, and a small mouth like flowers and bones slightly pursed uneasily.

"Sister, sister, am I wrong?" The little girl quietly took two steps back, lowered her little head, and said softly.

Hong Sangkou sighed quickly: "It's not wrong, Ah Li has only been assigned to the Lizheng Hall for a short time, and I don't know much about the lady and His Royal Highness." If it's been a long time, I can't ask this question again. ”

Zi Fang looked at the little girl's round eyes full of question marks, and chuckled: "For Your Highness, the lady's preference is the first. We just need to do a good job to ensure that every wish of the lady can be fulfilled. ”

"Oh......" Ah Li nodded stunned.

Before Hong Sang could speak, he saw Kumquat and Yinliu, who were on duty at night, pushed open the door of the palace, and hurriedly beckoned Zifang to get up, and touched Ah Li's head with a smile before leaving, "Don't be afraid, our lady has the most kind temperament, and she never refuses to beat and scold or punish palace people." After speaking, she and Zifang had already taken a set of toiletries and led people into the apse.

The inner sanctum, which is covered by heavy curtains, is delicate and elegant, and when the curtain is lifted, the light aroma of jasmine is accompanied by the heat. Banxia was hanging the curtains, and the rising sun was falling in, reflecting a dappled point of light.

The prince, who had already dressed himself, sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes lingering and gentle looking at Su Yan who was rubbing his eyes delicately.

Miss Su, who had a good night's sleep, opened her phoenix eyes that were still shallow sleepy, and met her husband's smiling eyes, she subconsciously raised a smile and snuggled into the prince's arms.

Wait, she slept so dead last night that she didn't hear her husband's dreams at all! Miss Su, who came back to her senses, was quite a little crying without tears. What do you say you want to listen to your husband's dreams? As a result, he missed his physical condition and returned in vain. It's been three years pregnant, and since she turned four, she hasn't missed anything! But this time...... Boom, it must be a black history that no one can tell.

The prince found out in time that there was something wrong with his beloved wife, so he hurriedly picked up the little face of the person in his arms, looked at it carefully, and asked eagerly: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, I just didn't wake up." Su Yan rubbed his eyes again in disguise.

The prince turned his head to see that it was even more leaky, and found that his beloved wife had indeed woken up an hour earlier than before, and then he let go of his heart and kissed her red lips gently, "Qingqing, eat red dates and white fungus soup and sleep again." ”

After eating a small bowl of white fungus soup, the prince diligently served his wife and rinsed his mouth, then let her lie down, carefully tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and gently coaxed: "Good, sleep again." ”

Su Yan, who originally felt that she had slept enough, fell asleep soundly in her husband's coaxing after a while.

Seeing that Su Yan was asleep, the prince left the inner room lightly, ate something at will, and hurried to the front hall. Approaching the end of the year, the affairs of the DPRK and China are complicated and trivial, although the prince wants to accompany his pregnant wife, he cannot be a hands-off shopkeeper, he still has to deal with a lot of government affairs every day. Of course, it was all done while Su Yan was sleeping.

On this day, since the emperor gave the crown prince a lot of tasks, he didn't rush back when Su Yan woke up for the first time. Miss Su happily ate her first breakfast without her husband after she was pregnant, and felt much freer.

"Hey, it's sunny today?" Su Yan stood by the window, feeling the rare sunshine shining on her body during these days, bringing a trace of warmth, and said happily, "Hurry up and get something, let's go to the back garden to enjoy the plum blossoms." "As a pregnant woman, a series of prohibitions such as not reading a lot, not reading a lot, not playing chess, etc., can make Su Yan's pastime a lot less. In addition to playing the piano every day to entertain herself, in the cold winter, there is also an activity that can make her happy, that is, appreciating plum blossoms and making tea.

"Bai Su, how is Qimei Pavilion?" Zifang asked quietly.

Bai Su and Hua Rong have been in charge of the warmth of Qimei Pavilion for the past few days, and nodded with a smile when they heard this, "Don't worry, Hua Rong and I have been hot in Qimei Pavilion in the past few days, and Zhun Bao will not be cold to the lady." "The so-called hot is to burn the wall of fire in the pavilion every day to ensure that every cold air in the pavilion is driven away by the heat.

Zifang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." After Bai Su's words, she commanded the palace maids to take all the things that the crown princess might use, and then together with the other three, she helped Su Yan to Qimei Pavilion.

The Qimei Pavilion in the back garden of the East Palace is located in the plum forest in the southwest corner, and is a delicate and small two-story palace. The plum grove is full of plum blossoms, and the treasures and different species are eye-catching.

Su Yan took Zifang's hand and climbed to the second floor, just to see a green calyx plum blooming just right, the plum blossoms were still carrying residual snow, and the faint plum fragrance was dyed all over the body.

Su Yan sighed lightly, "It's really a big pity in life that you can't cook tea for plum blossoms." Since she was confirmed to be pregnant, she usually only uses honey or plain water, and the fragrant flowers and tea she used to drink are no longer drunk.

Hua Rongzheng brought a cup of jasmine-smoked honey water, and said with a smile: "The slave has saved a lot of flowers and dried flowers this year, and after the lady gives birth to Xiaolangjun, I will ensure that you have enough." ”

Su Yan pursed her red lips, "That's also later, not now." ”

Flower: ...... I feel that after the lady has Xiaolangjun, she seems to be more willful.

"Listen, is someone playing the piano?" Su Yan's ear power is excellent, and he faintly heard the sound of the piano coming from the distance.

A few palace maids listened attentively, and sure enough, the sound of the piano came intermittently.

Su Yan listened attentively, raised his hand and pointed in one direction, "It's from over there, tell someone to go and see who is playing the piano in Merlin." "It shouldn't be the musicians of the music fang, if they don't have an order, they won't be able to get out of the music fang. In addition to the servant, it should not be the palace maid in the palace, the most likely one is ......
