"What tea do you have?" Miss Shi was completely interested, and she didn't remember her brother's instructions for a long time.

"Miss, please come with me." The female guy led Miss Shi to the counter on the side of the lobby, and saw a dazzling array of glass cups, each containing colorful things.

Miss Shi was just curious, looked over one by one, pointed to one of them and said in surprise: "I recognize this, but pearl balls?" ”

"Exactly", there are also two female guys standing behind the counter, wearing the same clothes, and the front placket is embroidered with the words "Xian Ming Xiaozhu", as soon as she opens her mouth, Gu is gentle smile: "Miss can try it, this is the most classic bubble tea in our store." ”

"Okay." Miss Shi saw everything fresh anyway, and immediately responded happily.

The lady behind the counter asked again, "Does Miss like to drink something sweet or moderate?" Can I add ice in the summer heat? ”

"Can you still use ice?" Miss Shi was amazed, you must know that the ice at this time is harvested in winter and specially placed in a deep cave for preservation, and the ice is kept from winter to summer, and the requirements for the ice cellar are particularly strict, which is difficult for non-family members to do.

"These pearls and dried fruits are all covered with ice, and if Miss thinks it's too cold to add ice directly, she will drink it like this." The female guy patiently explained.

"Then drink it like this," said Miss Shi, "I want something sweeter." ”

The female guy nodded, and immediately began to prepare: "Please wait a moment, Miss." ”

Miss Shi was full of interest, and saw the stacks of delicate snacks on the table a little further away and asked, "How do you sell these?" ”

The female guy next to the dim sum immediately took out a white porcelain plate: "Whichever lady wants to eat, you can put it on the plate, one or two silver for every five yuan." ”

Miss Shi didn't go out of the door, so she naturally didn't know the price of ordinary dim sum, and she didn't have the concept of expensive or cheap, so she immediately selected dozens of dim sum with great interest: "Wrap them all for me." ”

"Yes." The female guy was happy to respond, and packed snacks with her hands and feet.

Further to the side, there is a dazzling array of fruits, and there is also a wall, some are cut and some are not cut and placed neatly, pears, honeydew melons, watermelons, lychees, peaches...... Only then did she remember her purpose, pointed to the peach and said, "Give me more weight for this peach." ”

The female guy who was guarding next to the fruit did not move, but explained: "So that the young lady knows that our peaches are only given away and not bought." ”

"Send?" Miss Shi was puzzled.

The female guy explained in detail that if she spent five taels of silver in the store, she would give a peach; Eight taels of silver will give two peaches; Ten taels of silver will give three peaches.

"The rest of the fruit ladies can buy as much as they want, but this peach is only given away and not sold."

"That's the case," Miss Shi waved her hand, "just wrap me some of everything." ”

Walking through the fruit section, she saw a long table in the northwest corner of the lobby, with various colored petals displayed on both sides, both dried and fresh, and two children sitting behind the long table.

"Is this also food?" Miss Shi asked.

"These are for nail dyeing," said the female man, "and anyone who spends more than fifty taels of silver in the shop can enjoy the nail dye service for free." ”

Thinking that the five pieces of dim sum just now were only one tael of silver, Miss Shi frowned: "Where is it enough for fifty taels?" Isn't it too easy? ”

"Miss doesn't know", the female guy said, "We have all kinds of private rooms upstairs, you can listen to the piano, you can play chess, you can also invite Miss's close friends to come together, whether it is tea and flowers, banquets and gatherings, in short, there are many patterns, and the prices are different." ”

Miss Shi was completely shocked, is this really a teahouse?

She didn't know that there was a kind of thing called "theme resort hotel" in the world, which was moved to Tianqi by Yin Lingyuan, and mixed with milk tea, self-service, and nail art to enjoy various entertainments, not afraid that these ancient ladies and ladies would not be fascinated.

With Miss Shi, there are Miss Zhang, Miss Li, and Miss Zhao...... But anyone who has come to Xianming Xiaozhu once, all yearn for it, at the beginning there were rules and regulations, and the ladies did not dare to blatantly say that they wanted to come, until the county lord of Le'an held a banquet here, inviting the nobles in the boudoirs of various mansions, Xianming Xiaozhu was really famous, and gained a foothold in the aristocratic boudoir circle.

"Then who is the county lord of Le'an? As soon as she comes, our family's small building will be fine. Hanlu saw that his master was happy, and asked funny.

"The county lord of Le'an, don't look at it as just a county lord, but you can be more decent than many princesses and county lords", Yin Lingyuan thought about it and said with a smile, "It's like the leader of the boudoir this year." ”

"Huh?" Han Lu was puzzled and tilted his head in thought.

Bao Sheng explained with a smile: "Sister doesn't know, the county lord of Anle is the youngest daughter of our eldest princess of Ningchang, and she is the most favored, and she was named the county lord at a young age. ”

"Smart", Yin Linyuan nodded appreciatively, "This is the star effect." ”

Although Hanlu doesn't understand what the star effect is, she still knows the name of the eldest princess of Ningchang, the eldest princess of Ningchang is the sister of the emperor today, although she was not born to a mother, but she has taken good care of Qi Ye since she was a child, and the relationship between the two sisters and brothers is very good.

"By the way, did you send fresh peaches to the second brother?" Yin Lingyuan asked.

"It's all sent out," replied with a smile, "The slave maid has picked up two new frames." She was speechless as she spoke, five taels of silver only gave a peach, and a basket of peaches was not enough to send a day, which shows that Xianming Xiaozhu's business is really good.

"Send some more to the Queen Mother and Ruixiang Palace." Yin Lingyuan commanded.

Han Lu responded one by one, and took the initiative to add a living hall, when the master is not careful, they can only think about it from time to time as slaves, it is really heartbreaking.

Yin Lingyuan already knew about her small actions, not to mention that she couldn't hide it from Yu Ze, she was Chu Hui, the chief manager of the garden, and there were detailed records of where the fruits and vegetables went, and everything would be reported to her.

Chu Hui didn't have so many ideas, so he only ordered Yin Lingyuan to obey, Yin Lingyuan asked her to take care of the garden, so she did her best, not to mention Hanlu, even if the emperor came, if he wanted to move the things in the garden, he had to have Yin Lingyuan's order.

Therefore, Han Lu sent fruits and vegetables to the Yangju Palace, in fact, Yin Lingyuan acquiesced, in her own words - after all, "mixed rice and eating" under other people's hands, it should be pleased.

Who knew that this time the peach was sent away.

"Peach feast?" Yin Lingyuan stared at Qi Ye with wide eyes.

The latter leisurely enjoyed the fresh peaches and nodded: "You peach babies are hidden and tucked away, they are naturally curious, plus the eldest sister entered the palace a few days ago, and when it comes to the matter of Xianming Xiaozhu, it is even more terrible, one or two quarrels give me a headache." ”

Yin Lingyuan was very speechless, Qi Ye Zhao didn't come for anything else today, he wanted her to hold a peach banquet in Yinghua Palace, the reason, as Fang Cai said.

The concubines were curious about the peaches in Yinghua Palace, and they couldn't ask her for it, so they tried every means to pry her to hold a peach banquet, and one or two came to Qi Ye to complain, plus the eldest princess's east wind, it was even more amazing.

Yin Lingyuan pursed her lips: "The concubine is quiet by nature and does not like to socialize, so she will not hold a banquet." ”

"Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong are experienced," Qi Ye said, "They said that they could borrow someone to help you manage it." ”

Yin Lingkite: ...... At this time, they are unanimous to the outside world?

"Your Majesty, aren't you a strong man?" Yin Lingyuan is not happy, with that idle effort, she might as well learn two more small spells.

"Can't bear your peaches?" Qi Ye teased and waved his hand, and immediately a palace person brought up several baskets of peaches, all round and full, fresh and tight.

Qi Ye pointed to these big peaches and said: "If you are really reluctant, I will give you some, although it is slightly inferior to the peaches in your palace, but it is also a rare tribute, I just sent it two days ago, except for the queen mother, I have no reward, how about giving it to you?" ”

"I ......" Yin Lingyuan resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and discussed patiently: "Where is the concubine reluctant to give up peaches, so let's do it, the concubines will pick the peaches tomorrow and send some to each palace, do you think of it, the emperor?" ”

Yin Lingyuan's eyes were scorching, Qi Ye simply withdrew his gaze, and said to himself: "Actually, it's not just the peaches, but also the tricks you made outside the palace, they are also curious." ”

"What tricks?" Yin Lingyuan asked.

"Concubine Yi said that she wanted to try milk tea, Concubine Rong heard that the henna outside the palace was particularly chic, and even Concubine Jing mentioned it with me, saying that the piano music from Xianming Xiaozhu was very different."

Qi Ye said eloquently, Yin Lingyuan understood, she couldn't do this secret peach banquet, but ...... "Since the emperor has said so, the concubines will undertake it according to the order, but can the emperor agree to a request from the concubines?" ”

"Whoever you want, I will allow you." Qi Ye was very refreshing.

Yin Lingyuan looked at the baskets of peaches and said: "Since it is a tribute peach, the emperor still rewards it to the palaces, how can the concubines monopolize it, and the banquet of the Yinghua Palace is naturally used for the things of the Yinghua Palace." ”

Qi Ye was puzzled: "Then what do you want?" ”

Yin Lingyuan thought for a while, and did not explain immediately, but said: "If all the palace ladies and ladies run by the concubines are satisfied, how about asking the emperor for an order after the peach banquet?" ”

"Okay, it's up to you." Qi Ye waved his hand and asked himself that as the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, there was nothing he couldn't do.

Since she promised to do it, Yin Lingyuan can't be perfunctory, it's true that she said that she has no experience, but the Internal Affairs Office has capable minions, so she can naturally help her handle it properly.

It's just that Yin Lingyuan has doubts in his heart: "What kind of peach banquet do those people want me to do, are they really curious about the things in the fairy tea building?" ”

"What do you say?" Yu Ze asked rhetorically.

"The heart of guarding against people is indispensable", Yin Lingyuan said, "When the time comes, it will be troublesome." ”

On the fifteenth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, after more than ten days of preparation, the peach banquet of Yinghua Palace officially opened.

There are several small flower baskets woven from peach branches hanging on the vermilion palace door, and two little palace maids in pink clothes, one on the left and one on the right, respectfully welcome people in.

Yin Lingyuan was still staring in the inner hall, in order to hold this banquet, Yinghua Palace specially opened a room for the operation room, and invited a dim sum master from the Queen Mother's Palace, as for the milk tea, the required materials were prepared before, and they only needed to be added according to the same ratio.

Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong were almost the last to arrive, and the concubine only gave a gift, saying that she was unwell and did not attend.

Seeing that there were only two palace maids guiding her at the door, Concubine Rong's face was a little unpleasant: "What about your master, why don't you come out to greet you?" ”

"Qi Yu Niangniang, Master Yu is preparing to eat in the back hall, please invite the two Niangniang to come with the slave maid." Although the palace maid is not very old, she is very decent.

"What about the others, have they all arrived?" Yifei asked.

"The masters of all the palaces have arrived, just wait for the two ladies to arrive, and then the banquet will be held." The little palace maid returned.

"En", Concubine Yi nodded, turned to Concubine Rong and said, "Let's go." ”

Concubine Rong gave up and followed inside.

Yinghua Palace is not big, Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi have also been here before, so naturally it is not unusual, but when you go to the backyard, the scene is very different.

Under the green grape trellis, a long table is set up, which is full of all kinds of pastries, as well as all kinds of small fruits and pearl balls held in glass cups, and two large bottles of liquid next to it, one is milk and the other is tea.

In the middle of the table are stacked tall peaches, the fragrance of which is intoxicating.

The grape trellis is lined with green branches, forming a pergola made of greenery, surrounded by ice, which is refreshing and pleasant despite the summer heat.

"With such an arrangement, Yu Jieyu has also done her best." Concubine Yi said to Concubine Rong beside her.

"We've all arrived, why don't you see Yu Jieyu? And what's on this table? Concubine Rong was curious.

Before the words fell, Yin Lingyuan came out with a large tray and slowly put it on the table, and then spoke: "Ladies and sisters, sisters and sisters can come, I really call this cherry blossom palace full of brilliance, today's peach banquet invites you to be formal, what you want to eat and drink, you can take it yourself." ”

"Pick it up?" Concubine Rong raised her voice, "This is unheard of, could it be that we came to you, and there is no one to serve?" ”

"Naturally", Yin Lingyuan smiled and motioned to the little palace maid in a pink shirt standing on the side, "Whatever the mother wants, you can also tell them, but the emperor said that the sisters are quite interested in Xianming Xiaozhu, and this is the rule of Xianming Xiaozhu." ”

"Oh?" Concubine Rong chuckled, "Then tell me, how do you take it for yourself?" ”

Yin Lingyuan took a step forward, pointed to the things on the table, introduced them one by one, and then picked up an empty glass cup, first scooped two spoonfuls of pearls, then put a spoonful of chopped peach meat, a spoonful of grapes, a spoonful of honey, two pieces of crushed ice, and finally scooped two large spoonfuls of milk, a spoonful of tea: "This is a cup of milk tea, what ingredients do you want to add, you can let go and mix it yourself." ”

Everyone was amazed: "What a fresh way to drink tea." ”

"I want to try."

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

Some people were eager to try it, but some people looked at the dim sum that Yin Lingyuan brought out at the end, and couldn't help asking: "This thing is a new type of dim sum that is rumored outside the palace, called ...... It's called cake! ”

"Exactly", Yin Lingyuan ordered someone to cut the cake into small pieces: "This cake is made of fresh peach flesh and peach juice, and it is not sold outside the palace, so I prepared it for my sisters alone." ”

"Give me a taste." Immediately humane.

"I also tasted a piece, I heard that the eldest princess of Ningchang loves it very much." The interest of everyone was aroused at once, and Yin Lingyuan withdrew from the crowd with a smile, and they entertained themselves.

Yu Ze followed her not far behind the whole time, although others couldn't see it, Yin Lingyuan turned back from time to time, and couldn't help but want to look at him. A certain Venerable Qing stood there coldly, looking at it from the wall, it was really incompatible with this group of warblers and Yanyan, Yin Lingyuan couldn't help but think, if Yu Ze suddenly resumed his cultivation at this moment, and his true body was revealed, what kind of scene would it be, it must be very interesting.

"What do you think?" The low voice suddenly sounded in her ears, Yin Lingyuan seemed to feel a breath of heat, subconsciously turned her head, and Yu Ze's handsome face magnified in front of her eyes.

"Honorable ...... Ahem, Your Excellency, is there any change? She withdrew her gaze, trying to control her expression back to normal.

Yu Ze stared at her suspiciously, Yin Lingyuan casually took a fan and fanned it hard: "Whew, it's a little hot." ”

Yu Ze is even more suspicious, the mantra of summer vacation has taught her a long time ago, where will it be hot? Just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly felt a fluctuation in his consciousness: "There is someone at the back corner door." ”

Yin Lingyuan thanked God, this situation was just right, and immediately put down the folding fan and rushed to the back corner door.

At the back corner door, a palace maid with raw eyes was pulling with the little eunuch guarding the door.

"Ahem." Yin Lingyuan spoke.

The palace maid retracted her hand as if she was frightened, and when she turned around and saw that it was Yin Lingyuan, she immediately knelt down and saluted. The little eunuch seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and also knelt down and saluted.

Yin Lingyuan called Pingshen and asked the palace maid: "Which master and mother are you from the palace, why did you come here?" ”

"The slave maid is to serve the concubine and the concubine", the palace maid said in a hurry, "The slave and maid are in a hurry, and they can't find the toilet, so they are looking for someone to inquire." ”

Yin Lingyuan smiled and instructed Hanlu: "You take her and send her back to Concubine Sun, don't get lost again." ”

When the two of them walked away, the little eunuch took out a silver ingot from his hand: "Master, this was given by the palace maid just now." ”

Yin Lingyuan twisted up and looked at it: "Did she say what she wanted you to do?" ”

"No", the little eunuch shook his head honestly, "I just said that I asked the slave to take it first." ”

Yin Lingyuan let go, and the silver snapped back into the little eunuch's hand: "Then you can take it, it's just ......"

Before he finished speaking, the little eunuch knelt down: "The slave understands that the slave will never turn his back on the master!" "Since the last time Concubine Sun stole vegetables, the palace people of Yinghua Palace no longer dared to have anything to do with the outside.

However, Yin Lingyuan treats them really well, not only is the reward more than that of other palaces, but he never scolds him if he is careless and negligent in serving them on weekdays, and more importantly, he eats, the fruits and vegetables of Yinghua Palace, they are not less stained, and many people threaten to let them go to the emperor's side to be the chief eunuch, and they will not change.

It's been these days, but if you're not an insatiable fool, you also know that it's better to be an errand boy for Sakura Palace than anything else.

Yin Lingyuan waved his hand to get him up: "Avoid her in the future." ”

The little eunuch said yes, Yin Lingyuan was about to walk back, and after a few steps, she felt that the corner of her skirt was pulled, she turned around, looked down, and what held her was a pair of small black hands, who is this not the third prince?

"Why did you come here, Concubine Xian?"

"Mother Concubine Xian is ahead", the third prince lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "My mother concubine...... Well, Wei ...... Did she really kill my mother? ”
