Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hua Ru Loves Deeply

The rain stopped, the wind stopped, and the peach blossoms thanked the apricot trees. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info warm spring is coming, the birds inside and outside the palace wall are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the spring color cannot be hidden in addition to the cluster of flowers on the wall, as well as the laughter in the eyes of everyone in the Dexi Palace. The emperor has been very diligent in coming to Dexi Palace recently, and even the entire harem seems to have a friendship with Dexi Palace. The master is favored, and the minions below are also stained, so of course they must serve more dedicatedly.

On this day, the emperor accompanied Shen Wanyi to finish lunch and just left on his feet, and Dexi Palace welcomed a distinguished guest on the back foot. There are many hostesses in the Chao'an Palace, since the emperor revised the draft system last year and allowed Shangjia's daughter to enter the palace, there are more heroines, but there are very few who can be called distinguished guests. Why? First of all, there is a difference in the position of the harem, and the position is related to birth and rearing, and secondly, no matter how high the position, if you don't have the emperor's favor, it's just a false title, and no one will still put you in your eyes. Therefore, in this huge harem group, there are almost only a handful of distinguished guests who can surpass Shen Wanyi's position, have children to rely on, and are deeply favored by the emperor. The one who came today is one of the best - Concubine Hua Duan Qingzi.

Shen Duan's two families were originally world friends, and they moved around frequently, and Shen Wanyi and Concubine Hua were also childhood friends, although they were separated by 13 years, but in the end they had a different friendship with other concubines. Having said that, after all, Concubine Hua is the first of the four concubines, and she is second only to the queen mother in this harem. On weekdays, most of the concubines go to her Yiqing Palace to ask for a meeting, and it is really rare for a condescending person like today to visit Dexi Palace. After receiving the news from the palace maid, Shen Wanyi was in a good mood and immediately led everyone to the gate of the courtyard to greet her.

Concubine Hua's sedan chair had stopped outside the gate of Dexi Palace, and as soon as everyone knelt in the courtyard, they saw her coming from the personal palace maid Lan Yan to support the money. How should we describe the woman that Yichen saw in front of him? It is rumored that she is the lover of the current emperor Yuwen Chengtai's childhood sweetheart, the first to marry into the royal family, the first to give birth to the emperor, and her grace has not diminished over the years. She thought that such a highly pampered woman should at least be dazzling, even noble and arrogant, but at the first sight of her, only one word came to Yichen's mind, and that was soft. Her eyebrows, her eyes, her smile, even her swaying waist when she walks, her expression and posture, and her shallow voice when she speaks, like a soft breeze blowing in March, and like a clear spring that slowly moistens into her heart when she is thirsty, makes people feel no discomfort, just standing by her side, she has already felt sinking.

Yichen finally understood what Rong's mother said when she instructed them back then: "Softness is a woman's most powerful weapon." ”

After Shen Wanyi finished the ceremony, she stepped forward to personally hold Concubine Hua's other hand, and said coquettishly: "Sister Concubine Hua has a leg disease, she should go to visit you, how dare you bother to come to my Dexi Palace?" ”

Concubine Hua gently pinched her soft, and said softly: "I was walking in the imperial garden, so I stopped by to see you, didn't bother you, right?" ”

"Sister Concubine Hua, are you going to torture the frost? It's too late for Frost to rejoice......"

The two greeted each other and walked into the hall hand in hand, except for the personal palace maids Qiu Jing and Lan Yan who stayed to serve, the others were all sent out of the hall, and they were not allowed to enter unless they were summoned. Yi Chen is well aware of the secret relationship between Shen Wanyi and Duan Changyou, and judging from her personality, it is completely reasonable for her to treat Concubine Hua as a relative. Concubine Hua was born to Duan Changyou's mother, and her father was Duan Yihong, a scholar of the cabinet university of the dynasty. His younger brother is humble and polite, gentle as jade, and he is also a rare handsome son. has a brother and a father, and it is needless to say that Concubine Hua's virtue is good. Shen Wanyi was able to be so friendly with her, and everyone was very happy.

It was just after the afternoon, and the kitchenette was preparing refreshments and fruit for the afternoon. Qingman lowered his head, picked out a large and plump fruit from a basket of fresh loquat that had just been sent to the palace, carefully peeled and cored one by one, and then placed it in the jade plate according to the shape. On the two stoves next to it, white fungus lily bird's nest soup is stewed in a clay pot, and in the other clay pot, there is an eight-treasure double-steamed chalcedony soup prepared for today's dinner. The so-called double-steamed chalcedony soup is actually to take the medulla in the backbone of fish and sheep, base it with fresh chicken soup, supplemented by eight kinds of medicinal materials such as codonopsis, atractylodes, and poria cocos, and boil for 2 hours until the myelinated soup is thick, and it is better to be as white as milk. This soup is extremely cumbersome to make, and it is a super waste of raw materials, but the emperor likes to drink it, and no matter how KitKat it is, some people find out to please him.

Yingchun sat on a chair in front of the stove, squinting and napping, and the sound of snorting gradually rose. It is said that nine out of ten cooks are fat, this is true, the spring clothes that were made only a month ago are now worn on her body, and they are a little tight, and the waist and abdomen clearly outline two circles of fat. Yichen buried his head and added a few sticks of firewood to the stove from time to time, or stirred the ashes to make sure that the fire in the stove was always of the right size.

Hearing footsteps and words outside the door, Qingman hurriedly put down the work in his hand to wake up Yingchun, and when he came to the door, it was Xiangmo who led a strange palace maid to the small kitchen. The palace maids are all dressed unusually, and their temperament is outstanding. The two didn't recognize her, and stepped forward with a smile on their faces and called, "Aunt Xiangmo." ”

Xiang Mo didn't look at the two of them, but only introduced them to the visitor: "Aunt Wuyan, this is the small kitchen of our Dexi Palace, the oil is very dirty, and it is really hard to bother you to send and teach in person!" ”

Wuyan was very modest, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiangmo, our mother and your master are like sisters, and they naturally want to share the new fruit together." The pineapples from the tribute of the Dora country are sweet and sour, and the flavor is excellent, and the mother only gets a few every year, which is very rare, if it is accidentally damaged, we who are slaves can not afford it. ”

Xiang Mo said again and again: "But isn't it?" It's still Concubine Hua who thinks thoughtfully and sends you a proper person to teach us, so we can save our worries. ”

Since they are people in Concubine Hua's palace, no one dares to slack off, where do Qingman and Xiangmo dare to really bother her to do it, they have to respectfully invite her to the side, and guide how to cut and pickle flowers while watching. Yingchun had already returned to the stove he was taking care of, but he couldn't help but secretly look at the smoke from the corner of his eye. is worthy of the people in front of Concubine Hua, not to mention that she is handsome, and even her temperament and temper are the same as their masters, which makes people feel comfortable when they look at it.

The three of them talked and laughed in front of the case for a while, and when they were ready, they put them in the food box one by one and carried them to the temple together. Yingchun sent them out with a smile on her face, and then continued to sit on the stool and take a nap, Yichen looked at the back of the door leaving, and secretly speculated in her heart, I don't know if it was an illusion, she actually felt that the smoke was intentionally or unintentionally, and her eyes stayed on her, as if she was exploring something.
