Angelica is responsible for lighting the fire and adding firewood, Xiaoguo puts the cleaned meat bones into the pot, adds enough water to the pot, after the water boils, skims off the foam, and tells Angelica to simmer the soup over medium heat.

Then, she picked up the chicken that had been washed and dried by Bi Tao, salted it inside and outside the chicken, and smeared it with minced sand and ginger, and stuffed some star anise and ginger into the belly of the chicken, and hung it on the iron hook in front of the window.

After doing this, Xiaoguo picked up a bamboo basket, took the green peach, and called a few palace maids to go to the Baicao Garden together.

Standing still in front of the peach forest, looking at the delicate flowers that were still hanging with water droplets, Xiaoguo's excited eyes lit up.

"Pick the most vigorous flowers, only pick the petals!" Xiaoguo said as he walked into the peach forest impatiently.

Her white and delicate fingers fluttered among the flowers like a nimble butterfly, and in the blink of an eye, the peach petals had covered the bottom of the basket.

The queen mother's parents and children did it, and Bi Tao and the others naturally did not dare to slack off, so they spread out like bees and butterflies, and went to pick flowers everywhere.

By the time the sun shone over the peach grove and the dew on the leaves began to condense, the small kitchen of Cining Palace was already wafting with the fragrance of rice.

Xiaoguo stirred the japonica rice porridge in the pot a few times with a wooden spoon, and said to Angelica: "The fire is finer!" ”

Angelica hurriedly responded.

She turned her head again and said, "Quick, Bi Tao, drain the petals out of the salt water, and then go through the clear water, and bring them over!" ”

Bi Tao also hurriedly "belched", everyone had been so busy and strange in front of them that they had forgotten the cumbersome palace rules, and all of them had been expressed in the most concise way.

Xiaoguo pulled orange and green plum from outside, they and Bi Tao, Angelica and others are all newcomers who have just entered the palace, and their names are all given by Xiaoguo, the queen mother.

The palace people of Cining Palace were all sent out of the palace for some reason, leaving only Mama Wang, who was still on vacation in her hometown, heard that it was an order from King Ding, Xiaoguo saw that the palace people who were driven away, did not protest at all, and did not bother to investigate the reason.

Orange and green plum hold a stone mortar and pound peach petals.

Jatamansi and agarwood have been ordered to bring a bucket of milk.

Xiaoguo put the crushed peach petals into the milk, then put in some lotus root powder, an appropriate amount of powdered sugar, stir evenly, pour it into the pot and stir it over low heat, boil until it is thick and smooth, a burst of strange fragrance comes to the nose, the palace people of Cining Palace follow the aroma, greedily inhale the air in the direction of the small kitchen, and look surprised.

Xiaoguo poured the paste in the pot into the crystal mold to cool, and then pasted the peach blossoms one by one, and the peach blossom cake with color and fragrance was born in this world!

She gave a few pieces to the palace people present, but they seemed to have to take the treasure and were reluctant to eat it.

Xiaoguo used the paste to cool this time, sprinkled some brown sugar in the japonica rice porridge, added a little powdered sugar, stirred evenly with a wooden spoon, and then sprinkled the washed peach petals into the porridge.

She filled a bowl of peach blossom porridge, picked out some peach blossom cakes and put them in the food box, asked where the little emperor was, and went straight to the direction of Funing Palace with the food box.

Since she came to this world, she has not officially met the emperor's son, and I heard that he has made a mistake in the past few days, collided with the emperor, and was confined to Funing Palace by King Ding.

Xiaoguo scolded King Ding in his heart: The villain has the ambition, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and the following offenses are committed, and the nose is on the eyes!

All the words she could think of were used, but after all, she was new to the city and lacked some confidence, so she could only scold in her heart, and she didn't dare to resist rashly.

Today, the little emperor has lifted the grounding, thinking that she has to meet, it is better for her to take the initiative and express her love and care for her children.

The little emperor Li Bai was in the study, sitting upright, holding a pen in his hand, and resigned himself to copying the emperor's daily homework.

Xiaoguo did not meet the "cheap son" smoothly as she wished.

"Empress Dowager Qi, the emperor said he was not there!"

The little eunuch in the temple said so.

It turned out that when the eunuch sent a report that "the queen mother has arrived", Xiao Li Bai glanced at the little eunuch beside him, and hid behind the tent with quick movements.

The little eunuch who spoke was about eleven or twelve years old, and his appearance was handsome, and he said this, but his eyes were fixed on the tabernacle.

Xiaoguo understood and said, "So, you step back first, I'll wait here for him to come back!" ”

The little eunuch withdrew from the study and waited.

Xiaoguo glanced at the tent, and said to himself with infinite pity: "The freshly steamed peach blossom cake, I wanted to ask the emperor to taste it, but he was not there!" How good is that? ”

Li Bai snorted coldly in his heart: The queen mother is here again! She only came to me with a smile and affection when she wanted me to pass something to Uncle Eleven! Last time, because I handed a note for her, I was punished by the eleventh emperor uncle for copying the "Book of Filial Piety" ten times, and I won't be fooled again this time!

Li Bai thought of the tragic situation last time, and he was very aggrieved in his heart

Xiaoguo watched the tent move, his eyes narrowed into a line, the corners of his mouth hooked an evil arc, and then said slowly: "This peach blossom cake, it is best to eat it while it is fresh, the emperor may not be able to come back when, what if he comes back at night and the cake is broken, oops, this is not good, why don't I eat it for him!" ”

Xiao Li Bai's ears moved, what is peach blossom cake? Why haven't I heard of it?

Instead, he remembered that once he greedily ate the sticky candy of the queen mother, and promised to pass the purse for her, the eleventh emperor uncle saw the purse's expression terrible as if he wanted to eat people, although he did not reprimand me fiercely, but this terrifying scene has been deeply imprinted on Xiao Li Bai's young heart!

Definitely won't be fooled again! Li Bai clenched his little fists.

The tabernacle moved a few more times as he moved.

Xiaoguo's smile brightened, she opened the food box, and a fresh aroma flowed in the air.

She picked up a pastry, took a bite of it, chewed it carefully, and sighed intoxicatedly: "Soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy!" Tsk, this tastes great! ”

Li Bai's little nose sniffed hard, and saliva was secreted uncontrollably.

He swallowed a few bites, gritted his teeth and thought hatefully: "You actually used delicious food to attract me!" The queen mother is really unproductive!

At the same moment, the tabernacle was lifted, and a small round shadow rushed out.

"Queen Mother, leave some for your sons!"

Xiaoguo looked up and saw a pink-carved doll pounce in front of him, and after his two big eyes saw the peach blossom cake in the food box, he released a dazzling brilliance.

Before Xiaoguo could react, he had already grabbed a pastry in one hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Xiaoguo watched as the two chubby "paws" stained with ink successfully dyed the pastry black, and the pastry was successfully stuffed into the whole piece, and the small mouth that didn't look big was too late to stop, she covered her forehead speechlessly.

"Delicious!" Xiao Libai's eyes bent into crescents and swallowed what was in his mouth.

"That, Your Majesty, let's wash our hands first before eating, okay?" Xiaoguo closed the food box, considered his rhetoric, and said to Li Bai, who looked puzzled.

Li Bai glanced at the closed tight food box, then at Xiaoguo with a resolute face, then looked down at his little paws, lowered his head and compromised: "Okay! ”

The little eunuch who was waiting outside the door of the study hurriedly gave the order to go down.

Soon, the palace maid brought toiletries such as a basin of brocade, Xiaoguo pulled up her cuffs, naturally pulled Li Bai's little hand, and gently scrubbed it.

Li Bai looked at Xiaoguo differently, a mist rose in his big eyes, he hurriedly lowered his little head, and saw that his little hands were wrapped in a pair of white and slender fingers, rubbing gently!

His little heart was as warm as a little hand surrounded by warm water!

At this moment, he even thought that if the queen mother could do this every day, it would be worth punishing him for copying the Book of Filial Piety many times!

Xiaoguo changed the water twice before she successfully washed the pair of chubby "paws".

"You can continue eating!" Xiaoguo couldn't help it and pinched Li Bai's chubby little cheek.

Li Bai took a step back, avoiding her claws on one side, and accurately grabbing two peach blossom cakes on the other side.

The peach blossom cake in the food box decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the little eunuch guarding the door anxiously poked his head into the study several times, and finally couldn't help it, regardless of his identity, he was outside the door, and stopped him: "The emperor can't eat more, I'm going to have a toothache again!" ”

Li Bai was holding the pastry and stuffing it into his mouth, and when he heard the words, he stopped his movements, and a tangled look appeared on his little face, and he shouted angrily: "Little Fuzi! I want you to talk a lot! ”

Xiao Guo intercepted his words and asked solemnly, "The emperor has a toothache?" Since when? But serious? ”

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly stepped into the study, knelt down and replied: "Empress Dowager Qi, the emperor has had a toothache since the temple food festival last month, and it has been half a month now, and he has an attack every night before falling asleep. The mouthwash medicinal tea prescribed by the imperial doctor has little effect. For this reason, King Ding specially instructed his servants to prohibit the emperor from eating any sweet food! The queen mother came over today, and the slave was so happy to see the emperor, so there was no ......"

Xiaoguo saw that he stopped halfway through his words, knowing that he was in the way of his identity as the queen mother, so she didn't want to say much, she smiled slightly and said, "This palace understands!" ”

She beckoned to Li Bai: "Come over and let the queen mother take a look!" ”

Li Bai's little hand was still tightly grasping the pastry, and he moved over slowly.

"Open your mouth!" Xiaoguo said.

Li Bai glanced at the food in his hand nostalgically, and opened his mouth wide with extreme reluctance.

"Well, the problem is not very serious. I know of a home remedy that might cure a toothache. ”

Xiaoguo took out a homemade charcoal "pencil" from her sleeve, took out a piece of paper from Li Bai's desk, and wrote a few words with a brush.

Xiaoguo didn't wait for the curious Li Bai to come over, and hurriedly crumpled the paper in his hand with a weak heart.

Li Bai looked puzzled and asked, "Queen Mother, when did you learn to read?" ”

Xiaoguo said awkwardly: "I have nothing to do, I have learned a few, but it is still a little difficult to write!" Hehehe, the emperor can not only read but also write, which is really much better than the queen mother! ”

As an emperor, Li Bai has been immune to flattery since he was born, so although he is young, his face is as thick as a city wall.

He listened to the "compliment" of the queen mother, glanced at the words he wrote like earthworms crawling, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he boasted with a smile: "It is rare for a child to be able to write at a young age." But the queen mother is also an extraordinary person, and her medical skills are self-taught, and she is also very powerful! If the tiger father has no dogs! The son of the rat will make a hole! ”

Xiaoguo laughed twice with "haha", and began to feel that although this baby, although she didn't look like herself, this character, this cheekiness...... It should be, perhaps, really biological!
