Xiao Li Bai didn't know what the queen mother was thinking, he got rid of the pride of being proud of his uncle's handwriting, thinking of what the queen mother had just said, and then asked again: "What is machine printing?" ”

Xiaoguo was stunned: It's broken, it's exposed, there won't be no printing in this era, right?

"Well, this is a noun that I came up with in my spare time, and I came up with a lazy game, don't say it, hehe, hehe!" Xiaoguo prevaricated and laughed dryly.

Slack off? Game? When Li Bai heard these two, his eyes lit up, he pulled Xiaoguo's sleeve, and began to shake left and right: "Queen Mother, Erchen wants to hear it, tell Erchen to hear it!" ”

Xiaoguo had nowhere to avoid flashing his shining eyes, so he had to half-truths and half-truths and nonsense: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, this game is to copy and carve out the handwriting you like with a special mold, and the next time you use it, as long as you take the mold of the required word and directly dip it in ink, print it on the paper, and his words will be used by us." ”

Li Bai was overjoyed when he heard this: In this way, he only needs to burn the handwriting of the Eleventh Emperor Uncle and bring it directly when he wants to use it, isn't it, there is no need to practice calligraphy so hard?

Therefore, he clapped his hands and laughed: "This method is wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Xiaoguo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was no longer entangled in this issue.

When the mood relaxed, Xiaoguo suddenly thought of something wrong: "Your Majesty, you lied to your mother just now!" Haha, I was almost deceived by you, the queen mother is illiterate, how can she write a note? ”

"Queen Mother, you really forgot!" Li Bai was so anxious that he exaggerated and shouted.

Xiaoguo hurriedly covered his mouth: "Be quiet!" ”

Li Bai lowered his voice and said: "Although the queen mother is illiterate, she can draw, you said that what is drawn on paper is the same as what is written on paper, it is a note that can convey your heart!" ”

Xiao really wanted to slap this head a few times and reprimand it - how did he come up with these crooked ideas before!

At this time, a female official brought several immature children dressed in the same clothes to ask for peace, and it turned out that the time for the emperor to go to the Guozijian Academy to study.

Li Bai rarely got along with the queen mother so happily, and he didn't want to face the old-fashioned gentleman and boring books, he blinked his eyes and signaled that the queen mother could help lie and take a leave as usual.

Xiaoguo understood his intentions and said that she would not eat this set, she smiled and touched Li Bai's little head: "Your Majesty, there are no poems and books in your belly, you are not high, how to govern the world?" ”

Li Bai was disappointed, he dragged his bulky little body and walked towards the outside of the hall resignedly.

"Wait!" Xiaoguo shouted.

She walked a few steps quickly, came to Li Bai's side, and squatted down to help him straighten his wrinkled clothes.

"Mother, when will you come to see me again?" Looking at the queen mother who exuded concern and warmth in her eyes, the depression in Li Bai's heart dispelled a little, he looked at Xiaoguo and asked.

Xiaoguo looked at his expectant eyes, and said with a chuckle: "In the future, the queen mother will come to see you every day, okay?" After the emperor leaves school today, come to Cining Palace to have dinner with his mother! ”

When Li Bai heard this, his chubby little face finally filled with a bright smile, and he nodded vigorously: "Hmm! ”

Xiaoguo patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead!" Cheer up and study hard! ”

Li Bai took two steps forward, turned his head again, his eyes crooked to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "Queen Mother, I will definitely work hard!" ”

The child's innocent smile, like a bright sunshine, warmed Xiaoguo's panicked heart, she smiled slightly, her eyes began to really have some warmth, the palace people hugged the little emperor and his companions, gradually faded away, and finally, disappeared from sight.

She looked at the recital on the desk that was reviewed by the king, held her forehead and sighed: I don't know what "surprise" the former master left her!

The emperor's son was not there, and there was no need for her to stay in Funing Palace, so she got up and took the palace people outside the palace and walked slowly in the direction of Cining Palace.

The spring sunshine is the most intimate and comfortable, the wind is mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants, naughty into people's noses, invade the heart, so that people who are immersed in the breath of spring are comfortable and a little sleepy.

On both sides of the white jade pavement, some weeping willows were planted, and the willows swayed and writhed with their new bright green leaves.

Xiaoguo's mood also slowly relaxed, through the dancing willow branches, he vaguely saw a few eunuchs, who were carrying some buckets of water in a cart, turning the corner, and looking at the direction should be going to the imperial dining room.

Xiaoguo asked the accompanying palace people: "Where are the vegetables in the palace purchased from?" ”

There is only Lu Ru who entered the palace early, she was taught by Wang Mama herself, she is rigorous and serious, smooth and sophisticated, this time she was not sent out of the palace like other palace people, but was left in the palace as a female official, specializing in training new palace maids, everything in the palace, she knows very well.

I saw her walk out of the queue, bowed down and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, most of them are purchased from vegetable merchants who specialize in the royal family, and what you saw just now is the palace people who have just come back from outside." There are also some vegetables that are picked from the back yard! ”

"There is still a vegetable garden in the palace?" Xiaoguo was surprised.

"Hui Niangniang, there are some vegetable fields on the back of the Green Grass Pavilion! The slave and maid also passed by there by chance and found out. Luru said.

"You lead the way, let's go over and see!" Xiaoguo was overjoyed and said.

Green as the leader led the way, and everyone followed the winding path, crossed several exquisite stone bridges, and circled the Imperial Garden to their destination.

The vegetable garden is opened up close to the bamboo forest, the vegetable furrows in the garden are arranged in a neat and orderly manner, the bamboo fence divides the vegetables into several categories, all kinds of vegetables are green and oily, and it is very comfortable to look at: there are celery, rape, cabbage, spinach, leeks, coriander, chives in the east; There are several rows of bamboo racks in the middle, planted some kidney beans and cucumber seedlings that have broken through the soil; A small patch of corn was planted to the west.

To the north of the vegetable garden is a row of bamboo houses for the palace people.

Suddenly, Xiaoguo's eyes lit up, and it turned out that there were several toon trees next to the bamboo house.

Xiaoguo walked over quickly and found that some purple and red young leaves had been pulled out of the trunk of the tree!

Several eunuchs in charge of the vegetable garden, seeing the Queen Mother coming, rushed over early to say goodbye.

The eunuch at the head saw that the Queen Mother was interested in these trees, and explained: "The Queen Mother, this tree grew by accident, because it is not in the way, it will be ignored, it is the old slave who is derelict in his duty!" If the Queen Mother felt that the smell was unpleasant, the old slave immediately asked them to cut it off! ”

When a few little eunuchs heard this, they were anxious to find machetes.

Xiaoguo hurriedly stopped: "Don't cut it!" This tree is useful to keep in this palace! It's a delicious dish! ”

The palace people looked at each other, and they really couldn't understand how the queen mother could eat this kind of tree that exuded a strange smell, but experience told them that they only needed to obey the decision of the superior and did not need to question it, so they immediately recovered their respectful appearance.

Xiaoguo asked them to pick some of each ripe vegetable, pick some toon leaves by themselves, and bring them back to Cining Palace.
