Three days later, Zhang Guodong and Fan took Song Xinshu on the road to the capital.

Fan's siblings were included in the palace by the emperor during the draft three years ago, and I heard that they were quite favored, so Zhang Guodong and Fan had the opportunity to enter Beijing.

Zhang Guodong and his wife took a carriage, Song Xinshu took one by himself, and there were a lot of snacks packed from the tea house by his side.

This is what Fan wants to bring to his sister in the palace, saying that it must be packed beautifully, and it will be taken when it arrives in the palace.

Song Xinshu specially went to customize the packaging box and carefully selected the special pastries in the store, and couldn't wait to let go of everything, but the pastries that could be taken away were limited, and he also made a choice in the small kitchen.

Song Xinshu also specially prepared a pastry to eat on the road, and when the carriage stopped by the lake to rest, she took out the pastry and beckoned everyone to come and eat.

Where have the subordinates waiting next to them seen this kind of formation, and they shook their heads desperately one by one, not daring to take the pastries in Song Xinshu's hand

Song Xinshu grabbed a servant's hand, put the fried glutinous rice cake in her hand and said, "If it was in the house, I would definitely not force you, but this is outside, and the driving is so hard, eat a little to cushion your stomach." ”

The maidservant was still a little scared, and Fan smiled and said, "Xin Shu told you to take it, so you can take it." ”

Hearing Fan's words, the maid took the pastry in Song Xinshu's hand with confidence, and bowed several times to thank her.

Seeing her thank you like this, Song Xinshu was also a little embarrassed, and returned to Fan's side with a small plate.

Zhang Guodong looked at her and said, "Xin Shu, have you always been so informal? ”

Song Xinshu poured the milk tea in the pot into the cup and handed it to the two, saying, "It wasn't like this, but sometimes I can't help but treat you as my own father and mother, and I will be naughty." ”

Zhang Guodong laughed and said: "No need to sometimes, just treat us as our parents in the future." ”

"I don't know what kind of blessing I have cultivated in my life, but I really treat me better than my own father and mother." Speaking of this, Song Xinshu's expression darkened and lowered his eyes.

Seeing this, Fan didn't continue the topic, picked up a piece of rose cake and said: "This cake is my sister's favorite food, but your cake doesn't taste so sticky and soft, but it has a little more cold toughness and a very chic taste. ”

Hearing Fan's words, he raised his head in surprise and said, "Reward, can I enter the palace?" ”

Fan nodded, Song Xinshu looked at Zhang Guodong in disbelief, and he also nodded with a smile.

Song Xinshu's heart instantly became excited, she could finally see the real palace!

For the rest of the journey, Song Xinshu has been immersed in this excitement, and will he see him......

Two days later, they finally arrived in the capital, Song Xinshu looked out the window curiously, and the residents on the road looked no different from Jinling City.

She suddenly saw a pastry shop down the street, and she couldn't help but feel the urge to go in and have a look.

But now this is in the capital, unlike in Jinling City, you can come by your own temperament.

The carriage did not stay in the capital, and drove straight to the palace, Song Xinshu suppressed the excitement in his heart, thinking that he must pay attention to the rules, in case he violated something terrible, it was a matter of minutes to cut off his head.

After arriving at the palace, the people in the palace arranged for them to wait in the room of the west hall, and Zhang Guodong went directly to see the emperor to take up his post, leaving Fan and Song Xinshu to wait here.

Fan sat on the chair very regularly, and Song Xinshu sat next to her, following Fan's example and folded his hands on his knees.

At this time, a little eunuch came in and said to them: "Madam, Miss, the concubine is already waiting in Xiaoquanyuan, follow the old slave." ”

Fan nodded and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao." ”

Song Xinshu followed Fan's side, looking at her familiar appearance, it seemed that she often came.

"The concubine is now a celebrity around the emperor, and the emperor is very favored!" The old eunuch said to Fan as he walked.

Fan nodded with a smile and said, "In the palace, you still have to rely on the help of your father-in-law." ”

"Wherever we are, we just do our duty and serve our masters."

The two came to Xiaoquan Garden while talking, and there was a personal palace maid waiting for the concubine Niangniang at the door, and when she saw Fan coming, she said with a smile: "Madam, you are here, Niangniang is already waiting inside, come in!" ”

Fan walked in with Song Xinshu, she looked up at the interior of Xiaoquan Garden, and there was a feeling of resplendent gold.

When she first went to the Taishou Mansion, she thought that the decoration was already very good, but now it seems that the Taishou Mansion is not even one thousandth of the palace in the palace.

The concubine Niangniang sat on the couch, playing with a white jade Ruyi in her hand, and when she saw Fan coming in, she hurriedly walked over and grabbed her hand and said, "Sister, you are here!" ”

The two sat at the table intimately holding hands and talking affectionately.

Song Xinshu watched silently from the side, the concubine Niangniang deserved to be the emperor's favorite concubine, with a thin layer of fat powder on her face, a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be covered with mist under a pair of thin eyebrows, and her red mouth was closed one by one.

She was a little stunned, the temperament of the concubine was different from that of ordinary women, which made people want to appreciate it quietly.

Concubine Shang was talking happily with her sister, and suddenly found Song Xinshu standing next to her without saying a word, and asked suspiciously: "Sister, is this ......?"

"This is my goddaughter, she is very clever, and she made a good pastry, and I specially brought it to my sister to taste today."

Fan Shi gave Song Xinshu a look, she immediately took out the pastry she brought, gently put it on the table, and said, "Concubine Niangniang, this is the pastry I brought from my tea house, you can taste it and see if it suits your taste." ”

The maid next to her stepped forward and opened the pastry box, brought a few delicate small plates, and put the pastries in the box on the plates.

Then a little eunuch came, with a silver needle and a white cloth, and tried every piece of cake with the silver needle to prevent anyone from poisoning it.

It was the first time for Song Xinshu to see such a battle, and he tried his best to restrain his expression, but Fan was very calm and continued to talk to Concubine Niangniang.

After testing the poison, the maid brought the pastry to the concubine, who picked up a small spoon and scooped a spoonful of rose eight immortal cakes into her mouth.

Song Xinshu held his hands nervously on the side, waiting to listen to Concubine Niangniang's comments.

Concubine Xiang tasted it carefully, nodded slightly and said: "This rose eight immortal cake is different from what you usually eat, there is a faint cool taste, it tastes very refreshing, what method is it made?" ”

Song Xinshu replied very respectfully: "The courtiers added the juice squeezed from the cool leaves to it, because it is hot, and it is easy to accumulate internal fire in the body, so it will not be easy to catch fire." ”

Concubine Shang nodded and said, "The taste is a lot more novel, but what is this?" ”

Concubine Xiang didn't seem to be interested in Song Xinshu's improved rose eight immortal cakes, but noticed the small snacks that were placed aside.

Song Xinshu hurriedly introduced: "This is also a special puff in our store, do you want to try it?" ”

Concubine Xiang picked it up with interest and took a bite, and said with a surprised expression on her face: "I haven't eaten this dim sum before, and the taste is very unique." ”

Song Xinshu breathed a sigh of relief, there was finally a dim sum that the concubine liked to like, but fortunately, it was not a gain at all.

It's a pity that there is no way to carry milk tea, otherwise you can bring it over to the concubine to taste.

In fact, Fan also sweated for Song Xinshu, if Concubine Xiang didn't like these snacks, she would lose face.

Concubine Shang said to Fan: "Sister, there is such a unique dim sum shop in Jinling City, it is really rare, is it difficult to eat it in the future?" ”

Fan smiled and said, "Where is this, sister, if you want to eat, sister can send someone to the palace at any time." ”

Concubine Xiang sighed slightly and said, "Now the form in the palace, it seems that it is not good." ”

The concubine raised her slender arm, waved her hand at the people in the palace and said, "You go down first." ”

Song Xinshu looked at Fan's and saw her nodding slightly at herself, so she withdrew from the concubine's bedroom.

After coming out, the maids went to busy their own affairs, she looked left and right, the palace of the concubine was full of chrysanthemums, it seems that the concubine is especially fond of chrysanthemums.

She looked everywhere when she was idle, and suddenly saw a little girl floating by the lake, very naughty, Song Xinshu stood aside and watched quietly, feeling that this little girl was very naughty when she was a child.

It's just a child who can walk around the palace at will, maybe it's a princess or a county lord or something, and his status is definitely not low.

But why didn't there be a maid or grandmother around her, just as she was looking around, she suddenly heard a "poof" sound, and suddenly turned back to look at the lake.

The little girl who was playing with the stones just now was gone, and a few faint "help" came from the center of the lake, and Song Xinshu stood up and ran towards the lake.

The little girl fluttered in the center of the lake with her two little hands open, and seeing that she didn't even have the strength to shout for help, Song Xinshu jumped into the lake without hesitation and swam towards the little girl with all her might.

Fortunately, Song Xinshu knew how to swim, but the skirt on her body hindered the speed of progress, and finally swam to the little girl's side, grabbed her neck, and swam desperately towards the lake.

Finally swam to the lake, she struggled to climb the shore with the little girl, and didn't care about the pain in the arm of the stone on the shore, and immediately gave the little girl cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

The little girl was short, and she choked a lot of water in the lake, and her face turned pale at this time, and she didn't react at all.

Song Xinshu's heart gradually became nervous, and he accelerated the pressing action of his hand, and kept probing her snort.
