Chapter Seventy-Six: The Fragrance of Cinnamon

I stretched out my hand and leaned on the zither and listened to their noise with a smile. I watched them messing around, and was happy, but I heard a gentle voice say, "Feng Qiu Huang, okay?" ”

When I saw Ah Han come in, I smiled and said, "Is Fengqiu Huang played by a woman?" It's up to you to play! ”

Ah Han smiled and said, "Okay, I'll play a song for Xi'er," he said and instructed the little eunuch, "Take my green qi." ”

I sat on the side and said with a smile: "I haven't played a good tune yet, so let's come to the good piano to fight first?" Let's see how it goes! ”

Ah Han smiled: "We'll see in a while." ”

After a short time, the little eunuch came back, and he did not have the harp, and I wondered, "What? I haven't even brought the piano for a while? ”

Ah Han smiled: "I'll take you to a place, it's more suitable for listening to the piano than here." ”

I was wondering, Ah Han took my hand with a smile and went out, turned around and instructed the palace people: "You are all waiting there, I and the imperial concubine will go to a place first." ”

I was pulled and pulled by him all the way, but I turned left and right to the courtyard where Ah Han lived when he was still the prince.

I stood at the gate of the courtyard with mixed feelings, the leaves of the sycamore in the courtyard have become more and more yellow, although there are not so many falling leaves, but the yellow leaves that fall one or two points are more and more sad.

It was the lockdown of this annex that gave me countless deceptions and sorrows, and also gave me the bloody truth of uncovering the scars.

Ah Han saw me standing there and refused to move, gently hugged my shoulders and said, "Xi'er, it's all over." ”

I looked up, looked at him, and smiled, "yes, it's all gone." ”

The rusty lock was long gone, and Ah Han pushed open the courtyard door, just as I certainly pushed open the courtyard door, and the piano under the plane tree, the mat, and the wine glass were all the same as before.

Ah Han walked over, sat down, tuned his voice, saw that I was still standing there, and said with a smile: "Xi'er." ”

I walked over with a smile, sat down on the side, and said, "I'm not good at piano, I can only listen to your song quietly." ”

Ah Han smiled and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll stroke the piano for you today." ”

After that, Ah Han played it solemnly, the sound of the piano was quiet and distant, ethereal like a dream, Ah Han's eyebrows were quiet, just like the son who was not stained with the world before, and the sound of the piano was also cold and immortal.

I slowly spoke:

"The phoenix returns to its hometown and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix.

When I haven't met anything, I don't know what to do!

There is a beautiful woman in this hall, and the people in the room poison my intestines.

What is the fate of the neck for the mandarin ducks, and the beards and cheeks soar together!

The phoenix and the phoenix are from me, and they have to be entrusted with the tail as a concubine.

Friendship and harmony, who knows each other in the middle and night?

The wings are flying high, and I don't feel that I think about the remaining sorrow. ”

In a short time, the piano was finished.

Ah Han turned to me and asked, "Xi'er, this word is very well-matched." ”

I looked at Ah Han, smiled faintly, reached out and took off the sycamore leaf from his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Words are not as good as songs." ”

Ah Han took the sycamore leaf in my hand and said with a smile: "Even the sycamore leaf is the same as that day." ”

I looked at Ah Han's thoughtful expression, and I suddenly smiled: "Ah Han," he looked up at me, and I smiled, "Look at the leaves more seriously than at me." ”

Ah Han couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't help it." ”

I asked, "Don't delay your business, let's go back quickly, and we'll be done with our reminiscences." "I pulled Ah Han up.

Ah Han smiled behind him: "Xi'er, I think you are eager to drive me away." ”

I laughed and said, "How can I have?" ”

Ah Han glanced at me and said with a smile: "It's not like you, it's time to get down to business, I'm going to discuss with the ministers." ”

When I returned to Chenji Palace, Ah Han left with the palace people, and I sat down the corridor to practice the piano. It's just that before he played, he heard Lin'er shouting: "Girl, the fifth master is here." ”

I raised my head and saw Qi Yue coming in through the door, shaking a paper fan and striding in with a smile.

I said from a long distance: "Come on, it seems that these five masters have returned to their romantic appearance, I thought you would be serious and old from now on!" ”

Qi Yue pretended to be unhappy and smiled: "I've heard it all, you are not very good at talking about people behind your back!" ”

I pursed my lips and said, "Just so that you can hear, what does it mean to talk about people behind your back?" Face-to-face accusations come to the heart! ”

Qi Yue walked over generously, sat down beside me, and asked, "What?" Have you changed your self-cultivation today? ”

I instructed Wang Ning to move the Zheng into the house and said, "Originally, it was indeed to cultivate one's self-cultivation, but if you come, this one's self-cultivation can be saved." ”

Qi Yue patted the paper fan and said with a smile: "Okay, I kindly gave you the imperial concubine a holiday, you are good, don't you appreciate it?" ”

I wondered, "What festival is there at this time?" ”

Qi Yue said lightly: "Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "My fifth prince, there is still half a moon in this Mid-Autumn Festival, are you too anxious?" ”

Qi Yue just said lightly: "The emperor sent me to inspect a remote state and county, and I will leave tomorrow." It will take a month to go back and forth, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will not be able to be celebrated in Beijing, so I will tell you in advance. ”

I wondered, "Ah Han is so dignified, what remote place is Weishenme going to send you to inspect?" ”

Qi Yue shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it must have a deep meaning." ”

I sighed, "Then you should be careful, go early and come back early." ”

Qi Yue smiled: "That's it." I missed this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. ”

I smiled and said, "You don't lack this feast!" ”

Qi Yue smiled and nodded, stayed for a while and left.

Here Qi Yue mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival, although there is still some time, but it still arouses my mind, and I prepared the Mid-Autumn Festival supplies in advance.

Coincidentally, on the second day, the imperial kitchen sent a plate of small snacks called osmanthus cake, Qingge also made it for me to eat, this time the imperial dining room made me to eat it was good, I remembered Qingge's crystal osmanthus glutinous rice balls.

As soon as I was interested, I ran to the imperial kitchen, and without first asking the small kitchen in the Chenji Palace, I went to learn from the teacher.

When I came back from my studies, I went to the small kitchen in my palace and tried to make it. First, the blooming and full osmanthus, the whole flower is put in a bamboo dustpan, rinsed with water, dried and mixed with rock sugar, sealed in a transparent glass to make sugar osmanthus, and then prepared in advance and marinated in soup for many days with lard mixed into a filling, and then wrapped into small rice balls.

Yuyu and Miaowu tasted a few of them and felt good, which was more and more in response to my wishes, and I learned a trick and a half from the master of the imperial kitchen.

I like osmanthus wine to make balls the most, and I consulted the master of the imperial dining room, and I heard that it is not very difficult to make, so I also learned it.

I made some and sent them to Ah Han, and the wonderful dances in the palace also ate up the rest of what I made.

Xiang'er also said: "I knew that girl, you have some talent in making dim sum, so you don't have to embroider any purses!" Wouldn't it be nice to eat something? ”

I laughed and said, "Don't exalt me, I'm just a good little thing, and if I make those delicate dishes, I still can't do it." ”

Several palace people laughed at me while eating, saying that I couldn't see the world, and I laughed it off.

In the evening, Ah Han came, and as soon as he came, he asked me with a smile: "Why are you so hearty today, Xi'er, and bring me food?" ”

I asked, "That was the first time I did it, but was it okay?" ”

Ah Han thought for a while and said with a smile: "Osmanthus warms the stomach, and then makes wine from Jiang rice, which is very fragrant and sweet, Xi'er, you are doing very well." ”

I was pleasantly surprised, "Really? ”

Ah Han nodded and said seriously: "I want to bother you to eat with me often." ”

I laughed, "That's not going to work." ”

Ah Han was puzzled, pretending to be unhappy and said, "You still don't want to make it for me to eat?" ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I want to do it, but the osmanthus is not always there." ”

Ah Han smiled, poked my forehead and said, "Wouldn't it be good if you often change your tricks?" The usual eccentricities are used to make me angry. ”

I smiled: "I know, I know, I have to learn from the master of the imperial dining room." ”

Ah Han rubbed my hair and said with a smile, "Don't hurt yourself in the kitchen." ”

I was dissatisfied: "Where is it so delicate? You don't have to worry about me. ”

Ah Han sat down solemnly, poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Anyway, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Xi'er, do you have anything you want?" I'm going to prepare in advance. ”

I sat down next to Ah Han and said seriously: "Compared to this, Ah Han, you sent Ah Yue to inspect remote places during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

Ah Han drank tea and said lightly: "It's just a routine inspection, it's not a big deal." ”

I looked at Ah Han casually, then relieved my heart and said, "Even so, it's not appropriate to just go for the holidays. ”

Ah Han was slightly unhappy on his face, and said: "What is this, born in the emperor's family, it is all to bear." ”

I looked at Ah Han's cold face, I didn't know that Weishenme had a feeling of fear, I actually began to be afraid of Ah Han, I suddenly remembered so many TV series legends I had watched, no matter how much a king loves a person, there is a limit, and he will not tolerate a person's arbitrary behavior, because they are in charge of life and death.

I smiled stiffly a few times, but I didn't know what to say, Ah Han saw that I was speechless for a long time, raised his head to look at me, and said with a smile: "Why don't you speak?" ”

I forced a smile and said, "Nothing." ”

Ah Han asked lightly: "But I'm not happy for the fifth brother to travel away?" Then don't call him next time. ”

I shook my head and said with a smile: "These are all things in the court and politics, and it is inconvenient for me to mix them up, this kind of thing should be sent whichever one should be sent, how can it be changed for the sake of a harem concubine?" ”

After hearing this, Ah Han smiled and said, "It is worthy of my Xi'er, who understands righteousness." ”

I shook my head and said, "Don't praise me like that, I can't bear it." ”

Ah Han stayed for a while, and when it was time for me to take the medicine, he left, and I was ready to go to bed after taking the medicine.
