Chapter 66: Lily
Hui Xin endured her curiosity, knowing that now was not the time for Hua Ying to tell them, so she didn't speak, but just brought the newly made lotus seed soup in the back kitchen: "Little master, try it, in addition to lotus seeds, there are also many medicinal materials specially selected by Imperial Doctor Jia, which not only tastes good but also nourishes the body." ”
"Okay." Hua Ying felt more and more that Hui Xin had matured and stabilized a lot in the palace in the past two years, and felt that her arms in the harem would be much stronger in the future.
Hua Ying was in good health and began to practice in the small kitchen often when she had nothing to do, thinking that she would learn to cook some food, and she could personally make this baby pimple for Yinze in the future.
"The master is reluctant to come out of the kitchen, the slave is looking for you." Hui Xin saw that Hua Ying suddenly became self-motivated in cooking, and couldn't help laughing and teasing.
Hua Ying ignored her ridicule, and this girl became more and more bold: "What's the matter with me?"
"The slave went to see the concubine Niangniang, the concubine Niangniang was teaching Ergege, the slave didn't dare to stay longer, put down the things and left." Hui Xin was carrying a delicate food box, and the contents had been given to Concubine Xiu.
I didn't say a word of thanks to my master. Hui Xin didn't say this, but just kept the concubine busy, so as not to make the master sad and unhappy.
It was a lily cake made by Hua Ying when she had nothing to do, and she tasted it good, so she asked Hui Xin to give it to the sisters to taste.
"My sister's craftsmanship is really good." Shun Guiren was sitting on the edge of the couch, chewing lily crisp in her mouth, she received Hua Ying's snack, so she came over directly, but it disturbed Hua Ying's energy, so she could only come out to receive her: "Crispy and soft and sweet but not greasy, it is really top-notch." ”
Today, Rou Changzai also came, sat down for a while, and said that he came to Xie Huaying's things, and Hua Ying asked people to serve two more flower teas: "I don't know if Rou Chang likes to eat these sweets, this palace has recently learned to make a salty cloud cake, and I will give you a taste of it another day." ”
"Sister is good at everything." After getting acquainted with Rou Chang, Shun Guiren robbed her of her words.
"You're used to boasting about people, people don't say anything yet, you drink something quickly, it's easy to choke on that thing if you eat too much, but you don't dare to eat more." Hua Ying smiled, sensing that there was something strange in Hui Xin, and she didn't speak, and her heart was clear.
"How has Rou Chang been doing lately?"
"Back to my sister's words" Rou Chang said softly: "Although the emperor doesn't come often, those minions are not lazy, so the concubines are okay." "Among them, there are also Shun nobles, those subordinates are also sensible, Shun nobles were promoted not long ago, and they also know who should offend and who should not offend.
"That'll be fine." Hua Ying actually doesn't regard this Rou Chang as her own side in her heart, she just thinks that she is really good to Shun Guiren, and she always makes something for Shun Guiren, and sometimes it is inevitable that Hua Ying will have a share, and she can't just treat her as an outsider.
"Please ask the emperor to turn over the card." The eunuch knelt on the ground, holding the signs of each concubine in his hand, recently the emperor went to Concubine Ling, and Concubine Ling inevitably always put pressure on herself and reminded the emperor, which can embarrass him as a slave.
Li Quan didn't dare to gasp when he saw him, and coughed: "Your Majesty, didn't Concubine Ling say that she had a pair of good jade stones at home last time, carved into a dragon-patterned jade pendant, but do you want to go and see it?"
The emperor stretched out his hand to the concubine brand: "If you don't say it, I will forget it, and there is this matter." ”
Li Quan saw that what he was going to turn over was Hua Ying's brand, and he shouted in his heart that he was offended, not that he was targeting Hua Ying, but that Concubine Ling was still a little tricky, and he couldn't offend for the time being, in fact, Li Quan also favored Yun Concubine's smart and generous temperament, in Yun Concubine's place, there were not so many twists and turns, and Yun Concubine gave him enough face, unlike others, or only regarded him as a disabled eunuch.
"Then this brand ......"
"Let's go to Changchun Palace, maybe I haven't been to Concubine Ling for a long time." The emperor flipped over Concubine Ling's green head card with his big hand, and the eunuch holding the sign breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you Gonggong Li for your help." When the eunuch of the worship room came out of the door of the palace of nourishing hearts, he thanked Li Quan.
Gonggong Li shook off a handful of floating dust quite arrogantly: "Don't blame our family for saying you, you will be more clever in the future, and less troublesome to those masters who are not easy to mess with, so as not to be embarrassed afterwards and provoke a fishy body." ”
"Oh, where is Gonggong Li, you also know the temper of that master." The eunuch had a bitter face, not how he was, but Concubine Ling acted domineeringly, and even did some threatening things, although he also got a lot of benefits from it, but he was also very sad.
Li Quan snorted coldly, it's not that he wants benefits, he is reluctant to offend people, how can there be a good thing to be a bitch and set up a memorial arch: "Then you will ask for more blessings, I will go to serve the emperor first." Then he turned around, followed by Xiao Pingzi.
"Hey, you go slowly." The father-in-law heard Li Quan's ridicule, but he couldn't say anything.
Concubine Ling was sitting in front of the dressing mirror at the moment, and the witty words tried to make hairpins back and forth for her, hesitating between the two: "Sui'er, come and see, which one is good-looking?"
Sui'er took a look and said: "With the demeanor of Niangniang, all of them are good, and they are all worthy of Niangniang." ”
"Sui'er is always rhetorical, I think you should call it the name Punchline." The witty words hesitated left and right for a while, but he still took the royal blue peacock jade ring hairpin and inserted it into the bun here, and then he felt that it was almost there.
"Or a few of you will say," Concubine Ling looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction: "Yao'er, where have you gone, there is no trace." ”
Yao'er is the least talkative among her personal palace maids, and she is also thoughtful, many things are her and Witty Words' ideas, Sui'er is clever and can dress up, and Ru'er is honest. Although Concubine Ji is her own person, Concubine Ling always dislikes her for not having a bright head, and most of them are just princesses who use Concubine Ji.
"Didn't you tell Yao'er to go and comfort Concubine Ji, why did you forget?" Punch Line looked left and right before saying.
"The palace thought about the emperor, but it was confused, and I was in a bad mood that day and shouted at Concubine Ji, and the palace didn't mean it." Concubine Ling rarely has such a side, like a spoiled child, but she still has the momentum of being in a high position: "Go and take out the dragon pattern jade pendant, and give it to the emperor later." ”
"Yes." After a while, Punch Line came out with a brocade box.
"The emperor has arrived!"
"The concubines see the emperor." Concubine Ling saluted slowly, today she is still dressed up and extraordinary, maybe she hasn't seen her for a long time, and the emperor looked at her twice.
"The concubine is still so bright and moving." In his heart, he felt that Concubine Ling, who was originally very good-looking, was a little cheesy to be so rich, but this did not affect his mood as a beautiful woman.
Concubine Ling had autumn waves in her eyes, and said a little shyly: "The emperor has been in the future for a long time, and the concubines all miss the emperor." "It's been a long time, but in fact, it's only half a month, which is already good compared to other concubines who haven't seen the emperor for more than half a year or even a year.
"I have had a lot of court affairs recently, and I have snubbed my concubine, which is wrong with me." The emperor held her delicate soft wattle and patted it gently, it was tender to the touch and extremely well maintained.
"What's wrong with the emperor, look at the jade pendant given to the emperor by the concubine, does the emperor like it or not?" Concubine Ling opened the box, revealing a delicate jade pendant.
The double dragon carving on it was lifelike, and the emperor couldn't help but pick it up and look at it: "It is indeed a good jade." ”
"This is the concubine's father who took great pains to find it, and he must be played with by the emperor, which has its value." Concubine Ling is arrogant in front of others, and she is indeed like a little woman in front of the emperor, which is also one of the places that really attracts the emperor.
"Thank you Aifei, I want to thank Aifei." The emperor put away the jade pendant, took Concubine Ling and walked to the inner room, Concubine Ling's cheeks were like fire.
The palace people had already retreated, closed the door and waited outside.
On the second day, Concubine Ling was unexpectedly late, the queen had long been accustomed to it, and the concubines should have waited in the inner courtyard of Kunning Palace before she finished grooming, until she came out and sat on the phoenix seat, and then I heard that the palace people had passed on the arrival of Concubine Lingniang.
Today's Concubine Ling is even more beautiful, and her face is full of spring, which can't help but remind people that she was sleeping last night.
"Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an, I'm really sorry, the concubine is late, I was really tired of the concubine last night, it's late, the queen won't blame."
"You have meritorious service to the emperor, and this palace will naturally not say anything."
Here, Hua Ying couldn't help but admire the queen, she was so determined, and her expression remained unchanged in the face of provocation.
