As soon as she woke up from a nap, Yin Lingyuan took the handkerchief and cleaned her face, washed her hands carefully, got up and walked to the small kitchen.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yu'er and Xuan Jue are coming, and she is going to cook herself and make some snacks for the two children.

Han Lu has just returned from the family division, and Yin Anlu plans to open another branch of the cyclamen, which is expected to go to the south, where the climate is humid and hot. It is not suitable to eat hot pot, Yin Anlu originally planned to open an ordinary restaurant.

Yin Lingyuan didn't think so, the spicy hot pot in Sichuan and Chongqing in her previous life was famous all over the country, so she asked her second brother to collect some chili seeds or seedlings to come in, try to cultivate them first, and then give the seeds to the second brother after harvesting.

Today, the cyclamen in Naoli is doing very well, thanks to the unique ingredients supplied at the planting base, which makes it difficult to find the essence of the cyclamen even if someone imitates it.

Yin Anlu has tasted the benefits of the planting base, and this time he will go to the south, so he will naturally get it again.

He plans to leave in a few days, first go to the south to inspect the site, and then open the planting base in the spring after the year, and then open the restaurant.

"Niangniang, these are the chili peppers that the second young master is looking for." In addition to the seedlings of chili peppers, Yin Anlu sent a lot of finished chili peppers, and Han Lu really didn't like their taste.

Yin Lingyuan was amused and turned to Baosheng: "You go and hand it over to Chuhui first, let her choose a good place, and I will plant it myself later." ”

Han Lu was like being amnestied, and couldn't wait to hand the pepper out, but the latter didn't come to take it, in fact, she didn't even respond to what Yin Lingyuan said.

"Bao Sheng?" Han Lu called softly and shook her arm again, "Come back to your senses!" ”

"Huh? What the? Only then did Bao Sheng regain his senses, and looked at Han Lu with a blank face, and then at Yin Lingyuan.

Han Lu was helpless, repeated, and handed the pepper forward again: "What are you thinking?" ”

Baosheng realized his gaffe and hurriedly confessed: "The slave deserves to die, please forgive the mother." ”

Yin Lingyuan smiled and waved his hand: "Go." ”

Bao Sheng went out with his things, and Han Lu couldn't help muttering: "This girl has been so strange in recent days." ”

"How?" Yin Lingyuan asked, but she didn't notice anything abnormal.

Although Yin Lingyuan and these girls are close, but in the end there is a difference between master and servant, many times Yin Lingyuan needs privacy space and refuses to serve them, while Hanlu and Baosheng get along a lot in private, so they can clearly detect each other's abnormality.

"The slave maid felt that she was a little absent-minded in recent days, as if there was something pressing in her heart, and sometimes she didn't sleep in the middle of the night", including the green road, "For example, last time, the mother had less meat sauce during the meal, Bao Sheng went to the small kitchen to get it for a long time and didn't come back, the slave and the maid rushed to the small kitchen to see, but found that Bao Sheng looked at the meat sauce in a daze, and didn't know what she was thinking." ”

"Did you ask her?" Yin Lingyuan stirs up the eggs and mixes them with honey and milk.

Hanlu helped her scoop a spoonful of flour and nodded: "I asked, but she refused to say." Pouring the flour into the big bowl, Hanlu suddenly approached, lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Could it be that she has a sweetheart and doesn't dare to tell her mother?" ”

Yin Lingyuan glanced at her, this girl has been teased by herself for a long time, she is really thick-skinned, and when she talks about these faces, her face is not red and her heart is not beating: "You see if she has added any new ornaments recently, she wears it all day long, and she smiles shyly when she sees it." ”

Hanlu pondered: "No...... Well...... Ornament ......"

Yin Lingyuan reminded: "Sachet? Bracelet? Earring? Hairpins? ”

"Ahh Hanlu suddenly spoke, "The slave maid remembered, as if she saw her holding a jade bracelet, but as soon as I walked in, she hurriedly put it away and didn't see it clearly." ”

"Maybe it was sent by her sweetheart?" The more Han Lu thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was not far from ten, and he would definitely find an opportunity to implement it next time.

Yin Lingyuan let her go, if Baosheng really has a sweetheart, she will naturally not object, just like Hanlu, marry people in a beautiful way.

The pastries were put on the pot, Yin Lingyuan cleaned his hands, and told his subordinates to watch the hour and go out, Chu Hui was taking the palace people to deal with the peaches.

This was the last batch of ripe peaches on the tree, and some even fell naturally, which Yin Lingyuan had prepared to plant.

Rinse the peaches with clean water, then peel off the flesh slowly, trying to keep the peach pits intact. Many peaches are completely ripe, the flesh is already very soft and rotten, and the juice overflows when peeled, and the sweet peach aroma stimulates people's taste buds.

The reason why I have to wash it first is because the peaches are so precious, although I want the core, but it is a pity that these peach flesh are lost, in fact, they can be used to make wine, but Yin Lingyuan waved his hand and rewarded the peeled peach flesh to the palace people.

They take it back and make it into a snack, or eat it directly, anyway, there is enough aura in it, and it will be delicious no matter what.

This is the invisible welfare of Zhongxiu Palace, the people in Concubine Yu's Palace, even the most modest sprinkler and rough palace people, can eat precious food that the nobles outside can't buy when they break their heads.

Everyone knows that Zhongxiu Palace and Yinghua Palace are beautiful, everyone wants to go in, make the silver trust contacts, and try all kinds of ways, but the palace people around Yin Lingyuan are really enough, and even in order to take into account the fruits and vegetables of the two palaces, the regulations of the concubine position have been exceeded a lot, if there are more, the palace will be provoked to complain.

Besides, it's hard to manage the number of people, Yin Lingyuan feels that it is very good at the moment, there are enough people, and the loyalty is high.

has also created the high popularity of Zhongxiu Palace and Yinghua Palace, even if it is just a little eunuch guarding the vegetable garden, he is superior when he walks outside, and a group of people rush to make friends.

One is because of the status of the master, and the other is because they can get some fruits and vegetables from time to time.

Yin Lingyuan first went to see the progress of the peach pit, Chu Hui said that the peach pit should be dried first after it was taken out, and the moldy, moth-eaten, incomplete and small peach pits could not be used, of course, the peach pits of the Yinghua Palace did not have these problems, they were all large and full.

Put the peach pit into warm water, stir constantly until the water is cold, this is to prevent the seeds from mold and rot, let the peach pit evenly heat and then soak it for a day and night, and change the water in the middle.

Finally, sow seeds around the Qingming Festival, of course, it is best to raise seedlings first, wait for the small seedlings to grow, and then transplant them to the field, so that the survival rate is higher.

In fact, it is more common for peach trees to be bred by grafting, but Yin Lingyuan feels that the peach pit contains more aura, so that the tree that grows from the seed will bear fruit in the future, and the aura will be purer.

The place where Chu Hui chose to plant peppers was flower pots, and it happened that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had sent a batch of flower pots, which had already been filled with soil, and Yin Lingyuan directly buried the peppers in it, and then poured spiritual spring water on it.

Every time she grows vegetables, she doesn't have much discipline, and she has the best growth, and Chu Hui can only admit that her mother is talented.

When the peppers were planted, the concubines and concubines came over with the three princes and Xiao Yu'er respectively, and the concubines also brought the little princess over, Rou'an was raised to be chubby, white and tender, and the little ball was nested in the arms of the nurse.

The little girl babbled, occasionally popping out a few words, Yin Lingyuan boiled milk for her to drink, the little girl didn't pick at all, she drank it one bite at a time, occasionally spit out milk bubbles, and the cute person trembled.

The two boys let them go to the yard to have fun and eat snacks, and Yin Lingyuan and Concubine Xian talked in the house.

"Look at you as a rare child, why don't you raise one yourself", Concubine He said, "Even if it is not your own child, it is good to keep it by your side since childhood." ”

Yin Lingyuan is noncommittal, she likes soft and cute little balls, but if she wants to raise it, forget it, children are a combination of angels and demons, don't look at the cute and loving now, it's really a big headache to make trouble.

"How are you recuperating, and you're still taking the medicine prescribed by the female doctor?" Xian asked the concubine.

"Eat", Yin Lingyuan said, in fact, she just has a bowl of boiled water every day, and the medicine is purified by herself, "but the matter of recuperation is not in a hurry." ”

"Hey, if you had a child, you wouldn't let Concubine Rong be in charge of the harem now." Concubine He sighed faintly, Concubine Yi has been locked in the cold palace for more than a month, and the affairs of the harem are now taken care of by Concubine Rong.

"Is she embarrassed by her sister?" Yin Lingyuan asked.

"That's not true", Concubine He said, although Concubine Rong restored her position and took over the authority of the Six Palaces, she was unexpectedly low-key and relatively peaceful, "It's just that I'm still unwilling, if your child hadn't been killed by Concubine Yi, it would ...... now."

As soon as she said that, Concubine He realized her gaffe, and hurriedly stopped, looking at Yin Lingyuan apologetically.

The latter didn't care at all, because that child was fake, and Yu Ze was also there now, and she had nothing to taboo about this matter.

However, since Concubine He felt that she had said the wrong thing, Yin Lingyuan also changed the topic and said: "In the evening, you all stay for dinner, the rice I planted can be eaten, let's taste it together." ”

Both said yes.

For dinner, I made some light side dishes, and Yin Lingyuan specially advised not to make dishes with too strong taste, so as not to cover up the fragrance of Lingmi itself.

But it turns out that her worry is really a bit redundant, as soon as the rice is served, the aroma of rice alone rushes into the nose, each person has a bowl, the rice grains are distinct, soft and hard, chewing in the mouth is even more fragrant straight to the taste buds, a few people don't care about the vegetables, just take a bite of the rice to eat.

Fortunately, they are all elegant and noble people, and they are always required to chew slowly, otherwise there may be a rice grabbing competition.

Even so, several people were also able to eat, Xiao Yu'er touched her bulging little belly melon, and felt quite unfinished: "Yu Niangniang, can I still come to you to eat tomorrow?" ”

The rice he was talking about was just rice.

Xuan Jue opened his mouth and didn't speak, but the look in his eyes obviously showed the same meaning as Xiao Yu'er.

"How much rice have you planted in total, how can you afford us to eat like this." Concubine He said angrily.

Yin Lingyuan smiled: "If you two still want to eat tomorrow, go to your father's palace or the emperor's grandmother's palace." In the afternoon, she instructed Baosheng to send some rice to the emperor and the queen mother, and depending on the effect today, she is expected to expand the planting area.

Because they really ate a lot, Concubine He and Concubine Xian refused to make a soft sedan chair and went back, and the two of them walked together and walked back to their palace in order to consume food.

After sending them away, Yin Lingyuan also walked around the yard to eat, and said to Han Lu who followed behind: "I left you a little bit of rice, not much, you eat it with Baosheng and Chuhui, and taste it too." ”

"Thank you, mother." Han Lu raised her eyebrows, and she couldn't help but drool when she smelled the food.

"Where's Bao Sheng?" Yin Lingyuan suddenly discovered, "I haven't seen her since the afternoon." ”

"Niangniang told her to send rice to the emperor and queen mother", Hanlu also reacted, "I haven't come back since I left......"
