Mrs. Zhenguo put the stove on the table, asked Chunxiu to take off the cloak for her, and replied with a smile: "Yitong, are you still at ease with me?" After the ceremony, I went to see the Queen Mother and talked to my son, so I came back late. ”

The mother smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for her wife, "Qingyun is used to running in the mountains, and it is the first time to experience such a big battle, I am really afraid that she will make a fool of herself and cause you trouble." ”

Mrs. Zhenguo roughly explained the situation of entering the palace today, Xia Qingyun also changed her clothes, and took Qingju to bring a pot of nourishing soup as usual.

"Two mothers, what we are cooking today is Zizhi black chicken soup, everyone can drink it."

Qingju filled three bowls and placed them in front of everyone, while drinking the soup, Xia Qingyun asked: "Mother, which mother is the biological mother of the eldest princess, why didn't you see her go to visit the queen mother?" ”

"Alas, it's okay if you don't mention it, speaking of which, the eldest princess is also a hard-working child, she and Sihong Bowen are sisters and brothers, two years older than Bowen"

"What?!" Xia Qingyun was stunned, choked on a big mouthful of soup, covered her mouth and coughed violently, Qingju hurriedly helped her stroke her back and handed over a handkerchief.

Mrs. Zhenguo looked at her deeply, as if she was thinking about something, and when she calmed down, she continued: "First, you haven't asked before, and second, I'm afraid that you will think too much, and I won't feel comfortable seeing the eldest princess, so I didn't tell you." ”

"So, does the eldest princess know that she also has a younger brother?"

Mrs. Zhenguo shook her head and said solemnly: "When her biological mother was killed, the eldest princess was just over two years old and still remembered something. At that time, in order to save his son's life, the emperor said that he had been killed by assassins as soon as he was born. Therefore, apart from your uncle and aunt and us, even the Queen Mother does not know this secret. ”

The mother sighed, stroked her bulging belly, and said: "There is no mother around to take care of you, even if you are a princess, in that deep palace, I am afraid that you will be bullied by white eyes." ”

Mrs. Zhenguo thought so, and said eloquently: "Although the eldest princess grew up with the queen, she was taken care of by her nursing mother, and she was often ridiculed by Concubine Qing and others behind her back. It was only in front of the Queen Mother. Old Zu'er petted it, and only then did he smile a little. At the age of sixteen, the emperor got married, and he married the champion of the dynasty. Moved out of the palace and lived in the princess's mansion. Who would have thought"

She hesitated. glanced at Xia Qingyun and said cryptically: "That champion is actually a person with a hidden disease, who has been married for seven years. finally got the lord of Anping. ”

"Ah" Xia Qingyun felt sorry in her heart, she couldn't complain that the eldest princess had a cold expression, because of these pains, she couldn't help asking: "Is the relationship between the two of them good?" ”

"The girl who hasn't left the cabinet yet, how can you ask this." The mother put down the spoon and bluffed.

Mrs. Zhenguo smiled, patted her mother's hand, and whispered: "When the girl is older, she should also know how to get along with husband and wife, so as not to be angry with the two of them in the future." ”

Xia Qingyun's face turned red, and he muttered in a low voice: "I just want to know how the eldest princess and the concubine are doing, it's because my mother thinks too much." ”

"The concubine is a considerate and cautious person," Mrs. Zhenguo's words were full of sympathy, "but he was ashamed of himself in front of the princess, and he did not dare to speak loudly, and after a long time, he felt bored, and the princess was full of sadness and grievances, and there was no confidant to talk to, so his temperament became more and more cold." ”

"Has the princess ever thought about reconciling?"

"The princess and the divorce must have a reason, is it possible to tell people everywhere that the horse has a hidden disease?" Mrs. Zhenguo shook her head helplessly.

Xia Qingyun was speechless, if it was in the previous life, there would be many people who divorced due to incompatibility in their husband and wife's life. The poor eldest princess, because of the royal face, can only swallow the bitter water in her stomach.

"You've been tired all morning, and it's time to rest." The mother stood up with her hands on the table, instructed her subordinates to clean up the soup bowls, and said, "Wait a while, let Qingju and Chunxiu deliver the food to the room, and save the money and have to get up and change clothes." ”

"It's fine." Mrs. Zhenguo got up with a smile.

Xia Qingyun suddenly remembered the county lord of Anping, his mind changed, and he said to Mrs. Zhenguo: "Mother, I promised the county lord of Anping, Ming'er made a cake and sent it to her, why don't I bring some spring water to the eldest princess?" ”

Mrs. Zhenguo pondered for a moment, Xia Qingyun knew that she was worried about revealing the secret of the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, glanced at her mother, covered her mouth and smiled: "I just said that there is an immortal spring in Beixi Mountain, and my father and mother drank the water of the fairy spring before they became pregnant with twins." ”

The mother took a sip of her and scolded with a smile: "Dead girl, you also dragged me and your father in!" ”

Xia Qingyun's face was flushed, and he said shyly: "The eldest princess, she is not an outsider in the face of Bowen, I can help if I can." ”

The mother pulled Mrs. Zhenguo's sleeve and teased: "Listen, before I got married, I wanted to please my eldest sister." ”

"Oops! Mother! Xia Qingyun stomped her feet, turned her head and ran out, leaving the two mothers looking at each other and smiling.

Xia Qingyun returned to the room, flashed into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, asked Qingye to cut a few square pieces of cotton paper, wrote the words 'warm fragrant jade' with a pen, covered it with a leaf-shaped cinnabar stamp, and asked Qingmei to pick out more than a dozen cakes of the best Zhengshan small black tea and wrap it in cotton paper.

replied to the Empress Dowager and the Empress that they wanted to bring them black tea, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Qing could not be left behind.

She wrote in detail how to brew, how to add milk and sugar to taste, thought about it, and by the way, wrote down the recipe for baking cream cakes and gave it to the Queen Mother.

The county lord of Anping is a child, so there is no need to add nourishing herbs to the cake, so Xia Qingyun pondered to make her a fruit-filled cream cake.

There is a large fruit forest in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, which was transplanted when she was in Yuzhou, and the fruits are hung all year round, and they can be eaten and picked at any time.

Let Qingguo go to the field to pick a pineapple, cut it into small pieces and soak it in light salted water, and then instructed Qingye to pick some red cherries and pickle them in honey water.

Bake the cake and let it cool, shape it into a circle, sandwich it with whipped cream and pineapple chunks, wrap it around it with whipped cream, and garnish with honey-stained red cherries.

And that wasn't all, she didn't have the tools to decorate the flowers, so she boiled some caramel, drew the shape of a rabbit on the smooth slate, and when the caramel had cooled, she gently peeled it off and inserted it in the middle of the cake.

Qingguo pounded her chest and shouted, "Where is this cake, it's clearly a clever thing, Sister Qingyun, why are you willing to give it to others to eat!" ”

"Fool!" Qingmei kicked him in the ass, "Isn't cake just for people to eat!" ”

Qingguo pointed at her and shouted: "Why don't you and Sister Xue'er learn something good, and kick people's butts!" ”

Xia Qingyun couldn't bear it, and comforted him with a smile: "Okay, I'll bake one for you tomorrow, but you are not allowed to eat, you are only allowed to watch!" ”

"Sister Qingyun is so eccentric, I won't let me eat it when it's my turn."

"Left and right are your reason!" Qingmei is another kick.

Qingguo pursed her mouth, rubbed her buttocks and said, "Hmph, isn't it just baking a cake, I also learned and made my own food." ”

The next morning, Xia Qingyun handed over the tea cakes and cake recipes to Mrs. Zhenguo and asked her to send someone to the palace, while she took Qingmei and carried the food box containing the cake to the eldest princess's mansion by carriage.

The eldest princess was accompanying the lord of Anping County in the house to learn calligraphy, and when she heard the report from the next person, she couldn't help frowning, "Give a mallet and use it as a needle!" A joke from the child's family, she really came! (To be continued......)
