After Lin Ling finished washing up, he walked out of Qingtianwu, and his right eyelid began to beat restlessly.

As the saying goes, the left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster.

Her right eye is jumping vigorously, isn't it appropriate to travel today?

"By the way, Princess, today Concubine Chen invited several ladies and ladies to the palace as guests, I don't know if the princess wants to go and have a look?" Caixia hurriedly said as if she remembered it, she was in a trance early in the morning, fortunately, the princess did not blame, if she forgot to report this matter, it would be a great sin.

Lin Ling frowned and thought secretly, the last time the palace had a small banquet, she fell into a trap. This time, Chen Huiniang invited Mrs. and Miss again in her own name, will there be any conspiracy? Long Yuze is not in the palace now, Lin Lingzhen doesn't believe that he can fight against Chen Huiniang, a woman.

Besides, her eyelids were still jumping just now, and she would definitely not believe this kind of thing in modern times, but even the thing that crossed over happened to her, what weird thing won't happen? Lin Ling immediately made a decision, turned his head and said to Caixia and Ashin: "I'm not going anywhere today, if the prince comes back, come and tell me!" ”

"The slave maid has seen the princess, Concubine Chen asked the slave maid to invite the princess to the Weeping Flower Pavilion, there are guests in the house today, many ladies have to meet the princess, and Concubine Chen can't resist it." The girl was clear and delicate, and her tone was weak, as if she was very afraid of Lin Ling.

Lin Ling snorted lightly: "This princess has a terrible headache, and now she can't walk, so she has to go and rest, let them have fun by themselves!" ”

As he spoke, Lin Ling walked into the house with the corners of her forehead, and couldn't help but despise herself as she walked, why did she look like a deserter so much?

She is not afraid of Chen Huiniang, she is afraid of her unexpected means.

The girl fluttered into the air, but there was no displeasure, and she turned her head and walked towards the Hanging Flower Pavilion.

The Hanging Flower Pavilion is lively, the most active is Miss Chen Er, she is standing in the middle of the ladies and ladies in a silver-white lace dress, full of smiles, gesturing with her hands and feet, and when her voice falls, the ladies and ladies in the yard laugh. The young ladies here are all fifteen or sixteen years old, and they have not yet married when they say that their relatives have not yet married, and the lady is a lady who has just been married, and a group of people are also harmonious in chatting.

"Hui Niang, this palace is really well organized by you, my mother always said let me learn something good from you, I finally came to the Qing Palace, you have to talk about how to run the house, otherwise I will go to my mother-in-law's house in the future......" The woman who spoke suddenly lowered her voice, "I don't want to be like Princess Qing who doesn't understand anything!" ”

Chen Huiniang pushed the woman who spoke: "You are really not ashamed, but you have just decided on a family matter, so you should be married yourself?" ”

"That's it!" The woman next to her all teased the woman, and the woman's cheeks were slightly red and she hid to the side.

Miss Chen Er pursed her lips dissatisfiedly and said, "You can only see my sister's goodness, who can see her suffering?" You see, only when the Qing prince is not in the palace and there is no one to protect the Qing princess, my sister dares to invite you, the close friends of the boudoir, to the palace as guests. On weekdays, even my own sister doesn't dare to come to the Qing Palace, for fear that the princess will ......"

"Little sister!" Chen Huiniang glanced at Miss Chen Er coldly, then turned her head and smiled at everyone, "My little sister is young, she just loves nonsense." She didn't mess around one day, but my father and mother were afraid that she would cause trouble in the palace so they detained her, so don't take it to heart. ”

Even though Chen Huiniang said this, all the ladies and ladies listened to it, and looked at Chen Huiniang's eyes and couldn't help but have a little sympathy. More than a month ago, the princess of the Qing Dynasty invited the ladies of the famous families in the capital to the banquet, and they all came to participate, and Mrs. Chen was poisoned and fainted that day, and the case was decided by the princess of the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, not only that, but Concubine Chen was even restricted in the Qing princess, and her freedom to see her family was restricted, which is really sad and lamentable!

"Concubine Chen, the princess said that she was unwell and needed to rest, so she couldn't come." The voice of the girl who came to report was not loud or small, just enough for all the women in the Hanging Flower Pavilion to hear.

A woman stood up with condensed eyebrows: "It stands to reason that we came to the palace to ask for the luggage of Princess Qing, but as a guest of Hui Niang, it is really inconvenient." Our status is no match for the princess of the Qing Dynasty, but there is no need to be so unsightly, right? ”

"She's just an unidentified yellow-haired wild girl, and she dares to take Joe in front of us?" Someone else echoed, her words are right, the woman here is either the daughter of the prime minister, or the pearl of the general's palm, in short, all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people, where will Lin Ling be put in his eyes? It's just because she married the prince, and the prince just doted on her. So you can only dry and be angry.

Chen Huiniang looked embarrassed and said: "The princess is this temper, you must participate in the things you like, and ignore the things you don't like, don't take it to heart, come, let's continue to talk." Come on, add tea! ”

This means that the women here are things that the princess doesn't like, and everyone held their breath in their hearts and sat down coldly.

The lunch to welcome the ladies and ladies was extremely varied, and Chen Huiniang also put a lot of thought into it. Two tables of banquets are set up in the pavilion of the Hanging Flower Pavilion, with the lake on the left and the autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom on the right. The maids rushed in, delicate dishes and snacks filled the round table, and the women sat around, which was lively.

"These dishes are the favorite dishes of the palace concubines, I specially asked the queen for a recipe to let the chefs in the palace learn to make it, you can eat it." Chen Huiniang said with a smile, while introducing, "These dishes, they look inconspicuous, but they are the favorite of the people, and a few people in the palace have spent a lot of effort to learn the skills in the restaurant, this is the first time the chefs have done it, and I don't know if it suits your appetite......"

"Hui Niang really has a heart." All the women praised from the bottom of their hearts, from the court to the people, all kinds of delicacies, there is really everything, if you don't make a lot of effort, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do.

Chen Huiniang smiled and agreed, looked at a bowl of thick Lingzhi Snow Lotus Soup and said: "This is specially prepared for the princess, since she is sick, then she has to drink this bowl of soup, the woman drank it to nourish her beauty, and the man drank it to strengthen her body." Someone came, put a small bowl and send it to Qingtianwu, and bring a small plate of each dish here. ”

"Huiniang, why are you doing this?" A woman stood up and said coldly, "She is the princess of this palace, are you still afraid that she will starve to death?" It's because she doesn't want to be with us, why do you bother to come over? Now that the prince is not in the mansion, you should take this opportunity to rectify her and see if she dares to be arrogant......"

"Sister, this wall has ears, you should be careful when you speak......" Chen Huiniang looked frightened, lowered her head and scooped the soup, "Before I left the pavilion, I was the eldest daughter of Chen Guogong's mansion, and the scenery at that time was still fresh in my memory." But now that I'm married, a lot of things aren't like the usual. She is the main concubine, I am the side concubine, so I should serve her...... Sisters, you should be cautious, and never let the princess hear these words. There is a prince who is spoiled, I am really afraid that she will do something terrible......"

"Sister Chen, are you the Chen Huiniang I know?" A younger girl slapped the table and stood up, "In the past, you were arrogant and never put anyone in your eyes. And now you are submissive, afraid of this and that, I will be upset when I look at it! Since you are afraid of offending the princess, I think I should say goodbye quickly, lest I go to the front of the princess of Qing to make trouble on impulse! ”

As she spoke, the woman flicked her sleeves fiercely and strode out of the Weeping Flower Pavilion.

"Sister, don't be angry!" Chen Huiniang stepped forward and grabbed the woman's wrist, "Today, the prince is not here, the princess is sick and sick, and I finally invited all my close friends to be lively together." Don't get angry because of this disturbing thing, come and sit first...... In the afternoon, I also arranged a stage, after watching the play and having dinner in the palace, how about we sisters take advantage of the moonlight to go to the night market in the capital together? ”

The woman finally relented and reluctantly sat down in her chair. Miss Chen Er immediately leaned over and said, "My sister loves the prince so much, so naturally she has to take away her previous temperament, so you can be more tolerant and tolerant, and make my sister happy today......

"Okay, okay, I'm not leaving! But—" the woman exclaimed, looking up, "the first scene of this afternoon must be done by me!" ”

"Okay, no problem!" The women frolicked and drank the wine from their cups.

Compared with the bustle of the Hanging Flower Pavilion, Qingtianwu is extremely deserted.

Lin Ling slept in bed for a while before getting up, and as soon as he finished washing, a maid brought lunch.

"It's really strange today, when did the people in this kitchen take care of Qingtianwu so much?" Smelling the fragrant food, Lin Ling's index finger moved, only food and love can not be disappointed, she will definitely not live up to the delicacies of this big table.

The maid who served the food moved her lips, but she still didn't say anything, and hung her head and retreated.

Caixia said while giving Lin Lingbu vegetables: "Concubine Chen invited many ladies and ladies to a banquet today, and there should be a lot of ingredients in the kitchen. ”

"Dare to love, I still have Chen Huiniang's light." Lin Ling was reluctant, but he still feasted on a table of delicacies.

"Princess, the end of the month is a good day for Qin Xiaohou and Miss Bo, the princess should prepare gifts in advance, so as not to let Concubine Chen take advantage of the loophole." Caixia said on the side, "The Qin Mansion and the prince also have a relationship, this gift must have weight, and this will be seven or eight days of effort, the princess might as well take advantage of this time to think about it, and wait for the prince to return to the mansion to discuss it." ”

"Caixia, what you say makes sense." Lin Ling nodded solemnly, "There are more than ten days left before you and Ashin get married, one is my personal guard, and the other is my personal big girl ring, I really should think about what kind of gift I should prepare!" ”

"Princess...... The slave is talking seriously...... "Caixia's face is full of black lines, and her face is full of blush.

Lin Ling stared at Caixia and said with a smile: "Isn't what I said serious?" ”

Caixia's face was red, she lowered her head and didn't speak, but her heart hurt a little.

Lin Ling only thought that Caixia was shy, and ordered someone to clean up the dishes, and said: "You really have to think about what gift to give, I have never done such a thing, and I have no experience at all." Caixia, what do you say you should send? ”

Lin Ling didn't mention that aspect of the matter, Caixia was really a little more relaxed, and said: "The palace has received a lot of rewards over the years, most of which are tributes from other countries to the Daewoo Dynasty, and then the emperor and the queen mother are rewarded. Could the princess have chosen a valuable item of sufficient weight from the treasury as a gift? It's not too shabby to think about. ”

"Naturally, it won't, but it's not sincere enough." Lin Ling tilted her head and thought, she has a relationship with the Qin Mansion, if she sends something like gold and jade to the past, it is really not good, what is the best thing to give? In modern society, there are all kinds of creative gifts, and she should be able to come up with one, in case she can't think of it, she can only send things in the warehouse. "Caixia, you still go to the treasury to have a look, or find the housekeeper to ask for the key to the warehouse, and wait for me to go to the warehouse on a whim one day to see what good things are!"

"Yes." Caixia led the order to retreat.

"Ashin, prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me, and today I want to study what to give to the Qin Mansion as a congratulatory gift." Qin Yiyan is finally going to get married, although this family business was forced by Mrs. Qin, but it is also a gratifying thing. Anyway, she is idle and bored today, so she might as well think about it. The one Caixia prepared was regarded as a congratulatory gift from the palace, and the small gift she prepared was regarded as a wedding gift from her private to Qin Yiyan in the name of a friend.

What to send?

Lin Ling was drawing haphazardly on the rice paper, and she thought about it while writing all the ideas that appeared in her mind on the rice paper. In this way, about half an hour later, a piece of rice paper was written, although the words were ugly, but Lin Ling still had a sense of accomplishment.

"Making a wedding cake?" Lin Ling stared at these words, looked up and asked Ashin next to him, "Have you ever heard of the word cake?" ”

Ashin shook his head, and Lin Ling sighed even more depressedly, even if she started doing it now, when that day came, it was estimated that she would not be able to make something decent, and maybe she would be seen as a joke. Don't ponder this, the next ...... Wedding honeymoon? Lin Ling frowned again, and asked Qin Yiyan and Bo Yizhu to go on their honeymoon, although it sounds good, and she can also give away fees and plan routes, but will the emperor give Qin Yiyan a holiday?

One after another, they were all denied by Lin Ling, and it was really difficult to ask her how to make creative wedding gifts in ancient times!

"Make ceramic dolls?" Lin Ling stared at these words for a long time, and suddenly remembered that he had made a pictogram clay doll for his roommate to give her as a New Year's gift in modern times. The craft of ceramics should be available in the Daewoo Dynasty, and with her current status as the princess, it should not be difficult to find someone with excellent ceramic skills to teach her.

She has seen Qin Yiyan and met with Bo Yizhu, so it shouldn't be a problem to pinch their clay figures, right?

"Good! Tentatively made porcelain dolls! Lin Ling jumped up from the warm collapse, crumpled the paper ball and threw it aside, looked at the sky, it turned out to be the sun in the west, it was already evening, she couldn't help asking, "Ashin, didn't Caixia go to the warehouse?" Did I never come back, or was I too involved to notice her? ”

Ashin shook his head and said, "I haven't come back." ”

Listening to Ashin's emotionless words, Lin Ling frowned and said, "The two of you are about to get married, so you don't worry about her so much?" Now you can show me the warehouse to see if she's stuck in something, or if something has happened. ”

"Miss, she has been serving in this palace for more than ten years, what else can she do? I'll be back when it's time for dinner. Ashin reluctantly pushed.

"What do you tell me to say you're good?" Lin Ling crossed his waist and stood up, "Don't even listen to me, do you?" Give me a quick go! ”

Ashin had no choice but to walk out.

Lin Ling hooked the corners of his lips and secretly wondered, although the two people who were about to become husband and wife were very awkward, but under her matchmaking, it was not impossible for a long-term relationship to happen. While laughing, she took out rice paper and a brush to outline the appearance of Qin Yiyan and Bo Yizhu.

The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Ling rubbed his sour eyes.

Usually at this time, Caixia would light a candle for her, and someone would bring dinner, what the hell is going on today?

Caixia is gone, and Ashin has been gone for an hour and hasn't come back, can it be said that Chen Huiniang didn't have enough guests to entertain the guests, so she called Caixia and Ashin over? This is also a bit too much!

No, according to Ashin's temperament, he will definitely not obey Chen Huiniang's orders.

The more Lin Ling thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, put away the things at hand, put on a cloak and walked out of the room.

The sky was already dark and dim, the sun had already set over the mountain, and the red glow on the horizon was slowly fading. The evening breeze was a bit strong, the trees in the yard were rustling, and what was even stranger was that there was not even a single subordinate in the yard. Usually there are a lot of maids and women in and out of Qingtianwu, why are they all missing one by one?

"Little Spirit!" In the silent and silent courtyard, a voice suddenly came, and Lin Ling couldn't help but feel excited.

The person who came turned out to be Luo Wenjie, who was holding a tray in his hand and vaguely smelled the aroma of food.

"Why is it dark in your yard?" Luo Wenjie's voice finally added a touch of popularity to Qingtianwu, and he said with a smile, "Today, the palace is busy, and Concubine Chen invited the opera troupe to sing in the mansion, but she didn't have time to say hello to the kitchen, so she didn't prepare the meals of those many people, and she was busy." Someone came to me just now, saying that Miss Caixia and Ashin had gone to the Weeping Flower Pavilion to help clean up the stage, and asked me to bring you dinner. ”

"Really?" Lin Ling picked up the fire fold and lit the lantern in the room, but still felt that something was wrong, thought about it, and didn't come up with anything, and asked, "Have you had dinner?" ”

Luo Wenjie shook his head: "The kitchen is busy, how can I have time?" You eat first, I've got to go back to the kitchen. ”

"Wait a minute!" Lin Ling stopped Luo Wenjie, this Qingtianwu made her feel very weird, "I'll go with you, Qingtianwu seems to be alone, a little panicked......"
