Waiting for Hua Qing to get busy, Jin Su once again told Bai Qi, "This is not the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone the Hanlian Courtyard, not everything can be said!" ”

Bai Qi pouted, looking aggrieved.

Jin Su still continued with a serious face, "Don't underestimate the palace maid just now, she is not an ordinary person, she is the personal palace maid who serves the emperor, in the palace, even the queen mother wants to give her three points of thin noodles, so you dare to talk to others!" ”

"Huh~"

Bai Qi still looked disdainful.

It was An Xiayu, who nodded thoughtfully, as if she was very obedient.

After a while, a group of palace maids sent charcoal basins and food.

"Oh my God, these dishes are so pretty, aren't they?" Bai Qi watched the palace maids put the dishes on the table one by one, and the halazi were about to flow in!

"Eh," Hua Qing grabbed Bai Qi and said in a straight voice, "This is dinner for the master, you can't get so close!" ”

Bai Qi looked up at Hua Qing, opened his mouth and was about to refute, but remembering what Jin Su had explained, he immediately swallowed back the words that had already come to his mouth, and asked instead, "Didn't you say that all the masters in the palace have to be worthy of someone to try the food?" ”

"Yes," Hua Qing replied solemnly.

Bai Qian patted his chest and said confidently, "I'll come!" ”

Seeing Hua Qing glaring at her, Bai Qi's voice immediately softened, but she still insisted, "I'll come, I'll serve our young lady since I was a child, and it is naturally incumbent on me to try food like this, besides, I am familiar with the taste of young lady, and I am the most suitable person!" ”

Hua Qing was a little hesitant and did not answer.

At this time, it happened that Jin Su and An Xiayu came out hand in hand.

"Hua Qing, you go down and get busy first, just have Bai Qi to serve here."

Hua Qing bowed, "Yes, County Lord!" ”

Before going out, Hua Qing lowered her hand and said, "The slaves and maids stay in the courtyard and wait, if the county lord has something, he can order it at any time." ”

"Okay," Jin Su replied gently.

After Hua Qing led all the palace maids out, Bai Qi helped her sit at the table with a smile, and pretended to hold the dishes and chopsticks to prepare to taste.

Jin Su couldn't help but laugh out loud, and An Xiayu smiled, "Look at this monkey's anxious appearance, it's obviously that he is greedy, and he is still under the banner of tasting food, as if he doesn't make people think that our prime minister's house has less food for you." ”

"Miss~" Bai Qian called embarrassedly.

An Xiayu also covered her mouth and smiled softly.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, what you like, just eat it quickly!"

"Hehe~ It's still Miss who is the best for me!"

Bai Qi happily responded, then stood in front of the table and stretched her chopsticks directly to the plate of roast duck she had coveted for a long time.

"Xia Yu, you can be casual, just like when you were in Hanlian Courtyard, you don't have to be formal. Let's try this steamed pumpkin, although it is pumpkin, it is steamed on the pork ribs, so it not only tastes sweet of pumpkin, but also has the aroma of pork ribs. ”

Jinsu warmly greeted her to eat this and that, and on the other hand, she told her about the origin and production of each dish, like a hostess.

And An Xiayu always had a shallow smile on his face, looking like he was happy.

"The eldest sister is really knowledgeable, and she is so proficient in the dishes!" An Xiayu praised.

"Where is my erudition, it's just that I heard the emperor talk about it before, and I am learning and selling now," Jin Su said with a smile.

"The emperor has arrived!"

A shout was heard outside.

Bai Qian hurriedly stuffed the contents of the bowl into his mouth and wrapped his mouth, making it difficult to even speak.

An Xiayu was also a little nervous, took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil stains from the corners of her mouth, and then got up and stood respectfully behind Jinsu.

"Bai Qi, you go inside to clean up the bed first, chew the things in your mouth before coming out!" Jin Su raised his hand and said.

Bai Qi was relieved, covered her mouth and walked to the back room.

"Su'er," Emperor Ji Wu called out before he came in, "I heard that you entered the palace today, I'm really happy." ”

So saying, he went into the house.

"The courtier An Jinsu visits the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" Jin Su solemnly knelt down and bowed.

"Hmph," Emperor Ji Wu coughed, but didn't immediately let her get up.

Just wondering, he glanced behind him and found that An Xiayu was standing there blankly looking at Emperor Ji Wu at the moment, and did not salute with her.

Jin Su pulled An Xia Yu's dress and whispered, "Xia Yu, Xia Yu, why are you stunned?" ”

"Oh, oh," An Xiayu came to his senses, quickly knelt on the ground, and stammered, "Minister, courtier An Xiayu, give, please say hello to the emperor!" ”

"Are you the second lady of An Xiangguo?" Emperor Ji Wu asked in a deep voice.

Before An Xiayu answered, Jin Su hurriedly said, "Back to the emperor, this is the second sister of the courtier, called Xia Yu." It was only because he was intimidated by the majesty of the emperor that he lost his manners for a while, and please don't blame the emperor! ”

"Heh~ I didn't say that from you, it's not me," Emperor Ji Wu said with a smile.

"It's all the courtier's fault, it's the courtier's who lost her manners in front of the emperor, and I ask the emperor not to blame the eldest sister," An Xiayu said tremblingly, kowtowing and pleading.

Emperor Ji Wu hooked the corners of his mouth, sat down at the table with a smile, raised his hand, and finally shouted, "Okay, let's get up first!" ”

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty," Jin Su slowly got up after deducting the salute, and at the same time, he also pulled An Xiayu beside him.

Emperor Ji Wu glanced at the meal on the table and asked, "Are these dishes still to your liking?" ”

Jin Su nodded and said, "The dishes in the palace are still as delicious as ever. ”

"It's good if you like it," Emperor Ji Wu said lightly.

"Hua Qing, please withdraw the dinner, we are already full," Jin Su turned his head and said softly to Hua Qing.

Hua Qing responded, and then took care of a few palace maids and stepped forward to clean up.

"Seeing that it is about to reach the root of the year, how did Su'er remember to enter the palace at this time? But did you suffer any grievances in the Xiangguo Mansion? Emperor Ji Wu asked, raised his hand, and invited her to go to the bookcase.

"Didn't the emperor say that the plum blossoms in the palace were particularly good? The courtiers returned to Weicheng this time and saw a lot of plum blossoms, but although they were also proud of Xue Lingshuang, they always felt that it was a little bit worse, so they took Xia Yu's sister into the palace to take a look. ”

After Emperor Ji Wu sat down, he glanced at An Xiayu, who had always followed her, and shouted, "Qi Tian, go, arrange a place for Miss An Er." ”

"Eh, don't bother Grandpa Qi," Jin Su shouted, "The courtiers have already taken it upon themselves to let the room next to it be cleaned up for her to live in." ”

"This courtyard is not big in the first place, and the county lord can live a little cramped alone, and if there is one more person, isn't it too embarrassing? The slave should take the second lady somewhere else, right? After Qi Tian finished speaking, he arched his hand towards her.

"Your Majesty," Jin Su called, and then said coquettishly, "The courtiers are afraid that they will be bored in the palace, so they specially brought Xia Yu's sister as a companion, if she is arranged to live elsewhere, then we will go out of the palace tomorrow." ”

Emperor Ji Wu was still grim at first, but soon, he pursed his lips and smiled, and sighed, "Okay, okay, just listen to Su'er about this!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jin Su said with a smile on his chin.

Later, Emperor Ji Wu asked Jinsu to accompany him to play several games of chess. In order to create a relatively clean space for her and Emperor Ji Wu, Qi Tian sent An Xiayu down early. And Bai Qi, who was hiding inside, never showed up.

It wasn't until she yawned that Emperor Ji Wu left and told her to rest.

On the second day of entering the palace, Hua Qing waited at the door of her room early in the morning.

As soon as Bai Qi opened the door, Hua Qing asked, "County Lord, the slave maid will come in and serve you to freshen up." ”

"Eh," Bai Qian hurriedly stopped her, and said angrily, "Wait a minute, wait for my young lady to freshen up, that's what I should do, you rushed to do it, so why should I go?" ”

"The slave maid is just ordered to serve the county lord, and there is no intention of robbing, as for what you should do, it is not up to the slave and maid to have the final say," Hua Qing replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You-"

Bai Qi was angry, blushing and pointing at Hua Qing thickly, but he couldn't say a word.

Hua Qing's face did not change and nodded at Bai Qian, then bypassed her and walked towards the back room.

Jinsu sat in front of the dresser and was fiddled with by Hua Qing.

"Hua Qing, don't be like Bai Qian, she is not used to being big or small, but I believe she has no malicious intentions!" Jin Su explained softly.

"The county lord is too worried, these slaves and maids know that they won't rest assured. It's just that the slave maid still has to say more, she is so unruly, she will cause trouble to the county lord. You know, this is not as good as the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you say the wrong thing, you may lose your head, and when the palace rules are pressed there, even if it is the emperor, I am afraid that you will be powerless! ”

Hua Qingken told her these things bluntly, which was already very good.

"Well, got it, thanks for the reminder!" Jin Su responded.

After freshening up, I called An Xiayu to have breakfast together, and then went out to enjoy the plum blossoms.

When playing chess last night, Emperor Ji Wu also mentioned that now the plum blossoms outside the Shu Guiren Palace are in full bloom. With this sentence, she smoothly asked Hua Qing to take her there.

Hua Qing helped her walk in front, and Bai Qi helped An Xiayu to follow behind, which she had explained in advance, not only that, but also repeatedly told Bai Qi and An Xiayu, especially Bai Qi, not to say a word without her permission.

Today, the entire garden is covered in snow, and at first glance, it is so white that there is not a trace of impurities.

Hua Qing raised her finger and pointed to the front, and said softly, "County Lord, it's just ahead." ”

"Heh, if you don't say it, I guess it must be not far away, the fragrance of this air is getting thicker and thicker," Jin Su smiled.

Sure enough, after bypassing the rockery, on the snow-white earth, a piece of red suddenly appeared, which looked very charming.

"The county lord here, please, this road is specially cleared out to watch plum blossoms," Hua Qing led her into a sheep intestine path.

On both sides of the road, there are clusters of plum blossoms in full bloom, some red and some white, competing to open up and full of vitality.
