Seeing that she only remembered to make snacks for herself, a trace of warmth flowed through her heart, glanced left and right, and saw that there was a water tank at the door, Yinzhen took out a gray handkerchief from her sleeve, and walked to Ling Ruo's side after getting wet, wiping the black ash on her face for her.

Yin Zhen's actions startled Ling Ruo, and he said flatteredly: "The emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, how can this be, the concubine will come by herself." ”

"Nope." Yin Zhen insisted on refusing, took her hand and said: "You can't see it yourself, you will just wipe it randomly, or I will wipe it for you, it should be a thank you gift for making a snack for me for so long." ”

"That's what the concubines should do, what kind of thanksgiving is needed, besides, the emperor's coming to Chengqian Palace today is the best thank you gift for the concubines." Speaking of the back, her face was a little gloomy, "The concubine originally thought that the emperor would never want to set foot in the Chengqian Palace for the rest of his life and did not want to see the concubine, so making snacks for the emperor has become the only thing the concubine can do." ”

Yin Zhen wiped Ling Ruo's cheeks and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, in short, I and Concubine Xi will not have such a thing in the future." After wiping it for a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, almost, but you can't wipe your face with your hands anymore, otherwise it will be dirty again." ”

The warmth revealed between Yin Zhen's words moved Ling Ruo, and he said: "The concubine knows the way, the emperor can eat the dim sum after a while, in fact, the emperor should let the imperial dining room send some over to cushion his stomach first, so it's not good to be hungry all the time." ”

"I've been hungry for so long, and I can't get in the way of being hungry for a while." When he said this, Yin Zhen's brows furrowed slightly, and at the same time, his hand touched his abdomen, where it was beginning to throb slightly, but he was afraid that Ling Ruo would be worried, so he didn't show it on his face.

Ling Ruo didn't notice these subtle changes in Yinzhen, and said while adding firewood: "The concubine knows that the emperor has all kinds of opportunities, and the emperor has to worry about everything in the court, and there are so many things happening in the harem now, but in the final analysis, the emperor's dragon body is the most important, and the emperor must eat on time for three meals in the morning, lunch and evening, otherwise he will regret it if he is really hungry." ”

Looking at Ling Ruo's serious appearance, Yin Zhen couldn't help laughing, "I know that you are not very old, but you are more verbose than those older grandmothers, except for me, no one else can stand you." ”

Seeing that Yinzhen was in a good mood, Ling Ruo was also happy, and joked: "Yes, thanks to the emperor's willingness to take in the concubine, otherwise the concubine is still in the boudoir and no one cares." ”

Yin Zhen raised his eyebrows, and said quite smugly: "That's not it, my Concubine Xi is so ingenious, virtuous and intelligent, and there are many people who want to marry and go home, but unfortunately, they are all one step late, and you can only be my Concubine Xi forever." ”

Ling Ruo sneered and said, "I didn't expect the emperor to be poor, but it opened the eyes of the concubines." This time, without waiting for Yinzhen to answer, she had already stood up, walked around to the stove, stood in front of the steamer and fanned it with her hand, and said to herself: "Well, it's almost." ”

After saying this, Ling Ruo looked for the cloth wrapped around his hands and was about to serve the steamer, but Yin Zhen took it and said, "Stand away, I will serve it." ”

"The emperor can't, this ......" Ling Ruo just said a few words, and was interrupted by Yinzhen: "Why not, it's not that I don't have as much strength as you." Stand up and beware of getting burned. ”

Seeing Yinzhen insisting like this, Ling Ruo had no choice but to step aside, looking at Yinzhen holding the steamer, Ling Ruo felt both warm and incredible, who would have thought that the dignified emperor would not criticize the folding and not hold the Zhu pen, but stand in front of the stove like ordinary people, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never believe it.

At that time, Yin Zhen had already asked, "Can you lift the cover?" ”

Ling Ruo came back to his senses and said busily: "Well, let's lift it up the concubine, the emperor has never done this, and it is easy to get burned." ”

"It's fine." This time, Yin Zhen didn't insist, retreated a little, looked at Ling Ruo lifting the lid, and after a burst of hot smoke, he saw more than ten crystal and transparent crystal shrimp dumplings neatly placed in the steamer, exuding an attractive fragrance, which made people appetizing.

Ling Ruo took one and put it in a small dish and handed it to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, taste it, be careful not to burn it." ”

Yin Zhen happily took it, and praised after taking a bite: "Well, the dim sum made by Ruo'er is really better than the imperial dining room, no wonder I feel tasteless when I eat those dim sum sent by the imperial dining room now, only the almond crisp can barely be eaten." ”

Ling Ruo covered his mouth and smiled: "According to the emperor's words, the concubines can go and compete with the head of the imperial dining room." In fact, the materials and methods are the same, so there is no difference. ”

Yinzhen took another one and put it in his mouth, and tasted it carefully: "No, I'm very sure, the taste is indeed different, as for the specifics, I really can't say for a while." ”

Saying this, Yinzhen ate six or seven in a row before stopping the chopsticks, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Sixi outside secretly looking at the crystal shrimp dumplings and swallowing saliva, so that Yinzhen was both angry and funny, and put aside the chopsticks and said: "Let me roll in, don't probe your brain there, people who don't know the way of the road still think it's a thief when they see it." ”

Sixi ran in with a smile, gently slapped his cheek and said: "The slave should be damned, it's just that the dim sum made by Concubine Xi is too fragrant, and the slave can't help but take a few more glances when he smells the fragrance outside, and beg the emperor for forgiveness." From what he said just now, he could tell that Yinzhen was not really angry, but that his words were quite relaxed.

Yin Zhen also knew that he and Su Peisheng had been following him closely, and they hadn't eaten anything all day, so he kicked and scolded with a smile: "Roll down with the plate and Su Peisheng, and come in when you are full, so as not to say that I abused the two of you." ”

"Emperor Xie is rewarded, Concubine Xie Xi is rewarded." Sixi hurriedly thanked him, bowed his head and respectfully retreated outside with his plate, and went to share the food with Su Peisheng.

"Will the emperor go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace directly later?" On the way back to the main hall, Ling Ruo asked.

"Yes, there are still a lot of things to deal with, tomorrow Hongsheng will be funeral, and I, the emperor Amma, will go to give him a ride, so there is no effort tomorrow, so I have to deal with it quickly."

Speaking of Hongsheng, Ling Ruo couldn't help but sigh, he could have been immortal, but unfortunately he guessed that the queen was poisoned, and based on this alone, he had to die.

"The concubine has been to Yikun Palace, the concubine is very pitiful, her hair turned white overnight, and the emperor will have time to see the concubine Niangniang in the future."

"I will." After saying this, Yin Zhen stared at Ling Ruo with some emotion, "Ruo'er, when she hurt you like this, it's really hard for you to be willing to speak for her." ”
