Hua Ying said while distributing vegetables for the emperor, and the emperor ate them one bite at a time, and ate elegantly: "The lotus root in the palace is generally made into osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, and the concubine feels that although this dish is good, it is not interesting to eat too much, so she made the lotus root slices into spicy lotus root slices, and the emperor also tasted them." ”

Hua Ying explained almost every dish to the emperor, and the emperor also ate every dish she sandwiched, when it was the turn of this spicy lotus root, the emperor's chopsticks paused, and Hua Ying said: "I know that the emperor is not used to eating spicy, so the spicy seeds selected by the concubines are mainly fragrant and supplemented by spicy, the emperor may wish to taste it, if you think it is not delicious, throw it aside." ”

"Eccentric." Hearing that Hua Ying is familiar with her eating habits, the emperor has an inexplicable emotion in his heart, obviously the queen is also extremely careful, but she never seems to try to make new dishes for herself, and sometimes she cooks one or two dishes that he likes to eat.

Fresh lotus root slices with fresh and spicy sauce, unexpectedly matched, the original fragrance of the lotus root is crisp and spicy to stimulate the taste buds of the fusion, the emperor actually used a lot, and when he turned around, this table of dishes was basically a little, it was the best meal he had eaten in the past few days, after Hua Ying left, Li Quan was surprised to see the emperor showing a happy and satisfied look, of course, this is a later story.

"Ying'er, come here." After cleaning up the table, the emperor's tone softened a lot, Fang Caiying just came in, and he still looked businesslike, but now he was completely caught by Hua Ying: "You really don't know why, it's a blockbuster, I know that you love to eat on weekdays, but I don't know that you still have such skills." ”

Hua Ying naturally sat in his arms, and there were no more people around: "The concubine has always said that she will do her best, since she promised the emperor, she will do her best, and the concubine is very talented." ”

The emperor smiled more gently, took her hand and played with it, but saw three or four small wounds: "What's going on?"

Hua Ying first stuck out her tongue, looking like she had been caught: "Although the concubine is very talented in cooking, she also needs to study hard to become a talent." ”

"You don't need to do it so well, everyone else is ready for me, it's good for you." The emperor remembered that when he was still very young, Concubine Eniang would often cook for herself and cook some of her favorite food, which was different from what the chef in their imperial dining room made, this feeling could still be relived today more than 20 years later, thinking so, he couldn't help but clench Hua Ying's hand: "I will ask Li Quan to find you the imperial medicine for injuries, and it will not leave a scar." ”

Naturally, there is no need for the emperor to say, Hua Ying herself has already asked Imperial Doctor Jia to use some good medicine for herself without leaving scars, and doing these things by herself can move the emperor, all of which are based on the skin, so she just finished cooking and was covered with oil smoke and changed her clothes, so she couldn't leave the impression of the emperor with the smell of oil smoke, and gave the emperor the good side he wanted to see.

"The concubine just wants to give the emperor the food cooked by the concubine, but I'm afraid that it won't be delicious, but it will affect the emperor's appetite." She won't say that other concubines with food in the kitchenette or the imperial dining room are perfunctory, because this needs to be experienced by the emperor himself, and she doesn't need to explain it clearly.

The emperor looked at her eyebrows and eyes, and found that she didn't seem to be smeared with grease and powder today, and her whole face exuded natural beauty, even if she had given birth to a child, she couldn't hide the light that touched her soul, as if she was not a concubine, but a virtuous wife who cooked for her husband in the people's family, and she would happily tell herself how to cook today's meal: "It would be good if it was like this all the time." ”

"It would be good if it was like this all the time" Hua Ying didn't seem to realize the deep meaning of the emperor's words, but had a smile between her eyebrows: "The emperor likes concubines, and concubines have been studying dishes for the emperor, okay?"

"Okay." The emperor rested his chin on Hua Ying's shoulder: "I will always like Ying'er." There is no subject in this sentence, there is no word 'I', Hua Ying knows that she didn't come in vain today, but the joy in her heart is really just because the goal has been achieved?

It was night, the emperor was naturally staying in Hua Ying's bedroom, the emperor was particularly enthusiastic this night, so that Hua Ying was a little overwhelmed, and the next day he got up like the first time to accept the favor, his whole body was very sore, and the light and Hui Xin pinched half a sound and did not see good, and the bruises on the body took three days to fade, for this matter, Hua Ying also gave the emperor two days of eyes.

"Don't be angry." Although Hua Ying looked angry, the emperor was in a good mood, and whispered to Hua Ying: "Obviously, I was still very happy to watch it at that time, why am I angry." ”

"Your Majesty!" Hua Ying pouted, where did she look like she had become a mother: "If you do this again, I really ignore you." ”

"Don't be angry," the emperor pinched Hua Ying's little face: "I apologize to you, it's okay." ”

"What apologies?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

On the day of Xiao Yinze's first birthday banquet, it was indeed as the emperor said, it was very grand, and the fifth elder brother was already able to walk, which was quite surprising to Hua Ying.

"You say, what can the fifth elder brother catch?" Several concubines speculated, watching the fifth elder brother walking slowly, but there were soft cushions all around, and they would not bump and bump when they fell.

"I guess it's a small book, the fifth elder brother must be knowledgeable." Ning Guiren said.

Shun Guiren shook his head not very satisfied: "The fifth elder brother has a good body and bones, and he will be lively in the future, not only will he be trapped in the study, I think, he must be both civil and military." ”

This made Ning Guiren feel that he had touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and stopped talking.

"There are very few children standing and catching Zhou, and the fifth elder brother is really strong." Concubine Xiu's eyes were on the fifth elder brother who was still unstable, and she couldn't help but praise out loud, Ergege was in good shape, and he could only stand and walk when he was about a year and a half years old.

The fifth elder brother was trembling in the eyes of everyone and walked towards the place where he grabbed Zhou, what was placed on it was nothing more than something like a brush and a small sword, nothing too out of line, Hua Ying did not deliberately teach Yinze to catch anything, because she felt that Yinze was so young, and some things were ambitious, but the child didn't understand anything, so she wanted Yinze to choose by herself.

After a while, the fifth elder brother was still hesitating, looking east and west, but he didn't catch it, and the people who were still lively and discussing it stopped talking, wanting to see what this fifth elder brother could catch.

I saw the fifth elder brother grab a small brush, play with disgust for a while, then throw it aside, sit on the ground as if he was tired, stay for a while, and finally crawl towards a place.

It was a dragon pattern jade pendant specially added by the emperor, with exquisite workmanship, and it was put in when the eldest brother was born and drew lots, and no prince had ever caught it, perhaps because it had a cold touch, and it was heavier than ordinary things.

The fifth elder brother thought it looked good, so he immediately grabbed the jade pendant, sat on the ground and played with it, and giggled twice, amusing everyone present.

"Okay, finally the prince took my jade pendant. Fifth Elder Brother, this is trying to help me govern the world!" The emperor slapped his big hand and was happy, he had been looking forward to which prince would take his own things, and after waiting for several years, he finally waited for the fifth elder brother, and his face was obviously happy.

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Hua Ying stood up: "The fifth elder brother is young and ignorant, so he is naughty and drags around." ”

"Hey, it's because the fifth elder brother is not sensible that this thing he grabbed is God's will."

The emperor stubbornly thinks that this is a sign that Yinze is going to have a big future, Hua Ying doesn't know when the emperor is so superstitious, she is just afraid that the fifth elder brother will be too big in the limelight, which will attract other people's sideways, and now it seems that there is no need to say anything, anyway, the limelight has already been out.

The queen sighed, thinking that the third elder brother had taken a book at that time, and threw it down before he could hold it steadily, and the emperor praised him and said that he would definitely be a seedling of learning in the future, how could he be so happy.

Now the third elder brother is three years old, and he still needs a lot of grandmothers to take care of him just like he can walk, but it doesn't matter, she thought about it, and walked to see, the fifth elder brother wants to become an adult, and there is still a way to go.

The lot grabby ceremony has also passed, everyone has been lively, talking about the scene together, and then dispersed, Hua Ying's nerves were a little tense all day, and she was finally relieved at this moment.

After another two months, it was the end of the year in the blink of an eye, and everyone in the palace was busy, especially the sewing workshop, which was rushing to make new clothes.

"Master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent new clothes, can you try to fit them?" Qingxu came in with two sets of clothes, and the stitches on the patterns were fine, and it looked like she had put her heart into it.

"What kind of pattern is this?" Huixin touched the fur collar, it was a new fur, smooth and warm.

"This embroidered is like a plum blossom, but it is a backdrop." Hua Ying glanced at it.

"Can Imperial Doctor Jia check it before wearing?"

"No need, at this time, the hospital is also busy, just send Yinze's new clothes over to see, the clothes at this time are sent over by the Internal Affairs Office as soon as they are made, and there will generally be no mistakes."

"Yes."

"Isn't it time for the spirit nobles to be born?" Hua Ying remembered that Linggui hadn't seen her for a long time, the last time at the banquet, she said she was pregnant after more than two months, and outsiders knew that she was pregnant for more than six months, and if you calculate carefully, I'm afraid it's been more than eight months.

"It's still long, isn't it only six months?" Lan Yi asked suspiciously, she had never heard of this matter.

"It's okay, just ask." I don't know if I did the right thing to help her hide this matter, it stands to reason that she should have told the emperor and the queen mother early that she was bullying the king, and she had calculated Hua Ying at that time, although she still couldn't figure out the beginning and the end, in short, it was not a bad thing to have a favor.
