"Sister Yu stays", the concubines came out of Ningshou Palace, and Chuncao couldn't wait to follow Yin Lingyuan's footsteps.

Yin Lingyuan stopped: "What advice does Lady Spring have?" ”

"I don't dare to advise", Chuncao caught up in a few steps, "I just have a question I want to ask my sister." ”

"You say."

Chuncao smiled slightly and said proudly: "Sister, have you ever regretted it?" ”

Yin Linyuan took a long time: "Why do you regret it?" ”

"If my sister accepted me and continued to serve that day, there would be no spring lady today", Chuncao smiled and groaned, "Now that I have the will of the saint, I am afraid that my sister will taste the taste of neglect." ”

"There is a spring lady serving the emperor, I am too late to be happy", Yin Lingyuan said sincerely, "You will serve the emperor well, I still have something in the palace, so I will not accompany you." ”

Chun Cao was originally a provocation, but Yin Lingyuan was neither angry nor answered, she simply punched the cotton, and there was nowhere to do it.

As the weather warmed up, the cyclamen began to introduce other dishes, and Yin Lingyuan was busy recalling the dishes he had eaten in his previous life and writing them for his second brother's reference.

"Your Excellency, did you say that if you open a bubble tea shop outside the palace, will it be popular?" She bit the pen and asked Yu Ze beside her.

Yu Ze had never tasted the taste of milk tea, but he still knew how popular this thing was in Yin Lingyuan's world: "Do you know how to make it?" ”

"I probably know something", Yin Lingyuan said, he had drunk countless milk teas in his previous life, and he had tried to make it himself, but it was not as delicious as the one sold outside: "If you use spiritual spring water to make it, you will definitely be able to make up for the lack of taste." ”

That's true, but - "carrying water outside the palace is too eye-catching." Yu Ze said.

Yin Lingyuan thought about it, but her impatient heart made her decide to make it first, even if she couldn't open a bubble tea shop, she could drink it herself.

The basic bubble tea is easy to make, and the raw materials are also available in the palace.

Add brown sugar boiled water to tapioca flour, knead into small balls, and then pour it into boiling water to cook, it is "pearl", milk and tea are easy to obtain, and the tea leaves in the palace are all of the highest quality, plus the spiritual spring water, boiled out of a unique fragrance.

Yin Lingyuan took a sip, the rich milk fragrance revealed a light tea fragrance, there was no too complicated taste, and the pearl balls were soft and glutinous, which was a long-lost taste.

She poured the milk tea into the glass cup and showed it to Yu Ze: "Why don't you try it out in the cyclamen building first?" ”

Yu Ze leaned over slightly, and a faint aroma came to him, and he took a deep breath: "Yes, the milk fragrance is full of tea, which complements each other." ”

"Of course", Yin Lingyuan was proud, and then was stunned, "Wait a minute, you...... Can you smell it? ”

She hadn't forgotten that Yu Ze was a remnant soul, unable to contact anything in the outside world except to communicate with herself.

Yu Ze was obviously in a good mood: "Yes, I have been cultivating Xiaocheng recently, and I can already touch foreign objects slightly. ”

"Great!" Yin Lingyuan was really surprised, and said excitedly, "When you recover your entity, will we be able to leave here?" ”

"You really want to leave the palace?" Yu Ze asked.

"Of course, although life here is rich, there are many rules, and you have to intrigue all day long, and you are not free at all." Yin Lingyuan said as a matter of course, "When you recover, let's leave the palace, okay?" ”

Let's go, the corners of Yu Ze's lips raised slightly, and his voice softened unconsciously: "Where do you want to go?" ”

"No matter where it is, the world is so big, let's travel to the famous mountains and rivers to see the customs and customs of various places", Yin Lingyuan's eyes were full of longing, "It's rare to travel once, I have to take a good look at this unpolluted world." ”

Yu Ze's eyes were full of tenderness: "Okay, it's all up to you." ”

In Yinghua Palace, Yin Lingyuan was looking forward to a better life in the future, while studying various flavors of milk tea, but he didn't know that there was already a farming wind blowing outside at this time.

The spring grass and spring breeze are proud, and the ladies have been favored continuously, and the concubines and concubines in the palace have begun to reclaim the land and plant vegetables in their own palaces.

Such as Concubine Rong, Concubine Yi, etc., who serve themselves, naturally refuse to do this. Like Concubine Sun, in order to regain the Sacred Heart, she has no scruples, the Chongxi Palace where she lives is bigger than the Yinghua Palace, and Concubine Sun is the main seat, so she can naturally toss as much as she wants.

The flowers and plants in front of the hall and behind the hall were called to pull out, sprinkled with vegetable seeds, not only asked someone to take care of them, but also pulled the spring grass to her palace many times to instruct, who didn't know that the spring grass was just a superficial worker, where to understand this.

She was afraid that her concubine would really be favored, so she taught her to fertilize the vegetable field: "You need special manure from the farm, otherwise it won't grow well." ”

"It's strange that my vegetables are growing very slowly, so that's the case", Concubine Sun suddenly realized, and immediately asked people to look for fertilizer, she was anxious, and she was full of fertilizer before and after, making the whole Chongxi Palace smelly, and the palace people who passed by were all hiding their faces and covering their noses with the wind.

Next to Chongxi Palace are Jingyang Palace, Jinghe Palace and Chengle Palace, Jingyang Palace is the residence of the former queen, which has been empty, and Concubine Jing, who lives in Jinghe Palace, has always been low-key and does not compete, so naturally she will not say anything. It's just that Concubine Rong of Chengle Palace couldn't bear it, the southeast wind blew, and the smell of Chongxi Palace drifted to Concubine Rong's nose along the wind, and she immediately went to Concubine Sun to settle accounts.

It's just that I couldn't stand the smoke when I walked to the gate of the Chongxi Palace, so I had no choice but to turn back and sue the Queen Mother directly.

The queen mother is naturally clear about the direction of the harem in recent days, but the concubine is taking care of the six palaces, and many times the queen mother will not take the liberty of interfering, but now that the concubine is engaged in the miasma of the palace, the queen mother can't care about it.

ordered Concubine Sun to clean up the Chongxi Palace within three days, and sent the concubine again, telling her to restrain the Sixth Palace, and the matter was over.

The queen mother came forward, and everyone in the harem was all restrained, although Sun Concubine was not dead set on planting vegetables, but she didn't dare to be as blatant as before, but the vegetables didn't grow well, and she was sad all day long.

It was night, Yinghua Palace was quiet, Yin Lingyuan was ready to fall asleep after bathing, and Yu Ze stayed in the garden all night to cultivate. As soon as the crescent moon entered, a faint crescent moon hung in the sky, and the sneaky figure on the ground illuminated by the hazy and dim moonlight was blurred.

Yu Ze opened his eyes almost as soon as the man approached, and then he saw a black-clothed and masked figure, carrying a basket, tiptoeing close to the vegetable garden.

Yu Ze raised his vigilance, secretly operated his spiritual power, and was ready to go. I saw that the black-clothed figure first looked vigilantly left and right, and after confirming that there was no one, he quickly squatted down, and pulled up one by one and put it into his basket without distinguishing what vegetables were.

Here two handfuls, and then to the next place, shot like electricity, quickly took away two handfuls, what pumpkin beans did not have time to distinguish, together with the vine seedlings pulled out and loaded away.

After a few clicks the basket was full, the shadow was satisfied, and quickly retreated.

Yu Yuze, who witnessed the whole process of stealing vegetables: ......

The next day, Yin Lingyuan woke up, and Yu Ze appeared for the first time: "I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?" Yin Lingyuan asked casually, Qi Ye has not come recently, and the days of Yinghua Palace are very peaceful, and she feels that there is nothing serious.

Yu Ze opened his mouth, and was about to speak, when he heard the sound of burning footsteps outside, and then Baosheng's anxious voice came: "Master, it's not good, our garden has been robbed!" ”

"What?" Yin Lingyuan thought he had misheard.

"The little eunuch in charge of watering got up early in the morning and found that the vegetables in the garden had been plucked, and even the seedlings were called away. Bao Sheng finished in one breath.

Yin Lingyuan was shocked, turned to Yu Ze, and saw the latter nodding speechlessly.

She rushed to the backyard, Chu Hui was directing the little eunuch to count, and saw Yin Lingyuan hurriedly stepping forward to salute: "Master, a small piece of cabbage and water spinach have been stolen, three of the cucumber and pumpkin vines here have been destroyed, and there are tomatoes, two of which are said to be trampled on, and the rest should be fine." ”

"It's really a thief, who was on duty yesterday?"

Immediately, a eunuch stepped forward: "Master Qiqi, you are a slave." ”

"You were on duty yesterday, did you find anything unusual?" Yin Lingyuan asked.

"And, nothing unusual has been found," replied the eunuch, "and the servants have been guarding the gate, and if any outsiders come, they will surely find out!" Could it be some animal scourge? ”

Yin Lingyuan was just about to speak, but Yu Ze's voice reminded: "He was the one who stole the vegetables yesterday. He not only saw the figure of the vegetable thief, but also left a mark with spiritual power, and as soon as this person appeared at this moment, Yu Ze recognized it.

Guarding and stealing? Yin Lingyuan thought about it in his heart, and did not immediately poke this person: "Yinghua Palace was broken into and stolen by outsiders, and you were on duty at night but couldn't find it in time, Hanlu went back to the concubine Niangniang and sent him to serve in the Xin Service Division." ”

"Huh?" The eunuch was shocked, Xin Gongsi is the hardest place in the palace, doing rough work every day, no one wants to go, he doesn't understand how Jieyu, who has always been lenient, how can he be so ruthless, and immediately cried and begged: "Jieyu forgive your sins, ask Jieyu to forgive your sins." ”

"Your days as an errand in Yinghua Palace are not short, you should know the importance of these vegetables and vegetables, stealing is a small matter, if someone with bad intentions poisons the vegetables, in case it is eaten by the Queen Mother, no one can afford it", Yin Lingyuan said, "So even if I want to forgive my sins, I can't forgive them." Hanlu, you go to reply now, and tell the concubine Niangniang, my vegetables here have been stolen, I am afraid that the queen mother's jade body is in danger, please concubine Niangniang will be the master for us and find out the thief. ”

"The master is really ......" Han Luzheng was puzzled, his own master was not such a fuss person, so he saw Yin Lingyuan glaring at her, and immediately understood, and cooperated: "The slave and maid are going here, I can't say that when the time comes, everyone in our palace will have to ask carefully one by one, and the father-in-law, as the person on duty last night, will be the first to be sent to the prison for interrogation." ”

First the Xin Servant Division, and then the prisoner, this eunuch didn't faint, and immediately cried and knelt down to Yin Lingyuan's feet and kowtowed: "Jieyu forgives sins, Jieyu forgives sins, this dish ...... The dishes were picked by the slaves, except for choosing the vegetables, the slaves didn't do anything, and they didn't dare to murder the Queen Mother, begging Jieyu for forgiveness. ”

Yin Lingyuan and Yu Ze glanced at each other, took a step back, stared at the people on the ground and asked, "Why are you stealing vegetables?" ”

"Minion, minion is just curious for a moment" The eunuch rolled his eyes, and wanted to make a big thing small, "If you want to taste it, a slave deserves death, and you shouldn't think about it, but the minion is really just curious." ”

Although Chu Hui is strict, but the people of Yinghua Palace, who has not tasted a few mouthfuls of spiritual vegetables, if she says that she can still believe it in order to understand the appetite, curious? Yin Lingyuan didn't believe it: "Don't tell the truth? Han Lu, send him to the prison now. ”

"Yes", Han Lu responded, waved his hand to beckon two people, one of them pressed to the side, and he was about to drag him down.

The eunuch struggled desperately, and finally didn't dare to lie anymore: "The slave tells the truth, the slave says!" ”

Hanlu motioned for the two to suspend their movements, and the eunuch burst into tears: "Yes, it was the auspiciousness of Concubine Sun's side, who gave the slave twenty taels of silver and asked the slave to steal a basket of vegetables for her." ”

"Concubine Sun?" Yin Lingyuan was really surprised at this time, "Why is she like this?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, this slave really doesn't know." The eunuch was greedy for money for a while, and he thought that picking vegetables would not be tight, but he didn't expect it to be so serious, and now his intestines are all repentant.

Yin Lingyuan frowned and thought deeply, Baosheng took a step forward and whispered in her ear: "Master, these days I have been growing vegetables in the womb, and the concubine Sun asked the queen mother to reprimand her because of the wanton fertilization......

As soon as she told Sun Concubine about it, Yin Lingyuan combined it with the previous events, and thought about it - Sun Concubine couldn't grow it herself, so she thought about coming to Yinghua Palace to steal it, which was really stupid and funny.

Guarding the eunuch who stole the vegetables first, Yin Linyuan thought about how to deal with it.

"Why don't we go and tell the emperor?" Hanlu proposed, "The emperor has been snubbing you, why don't you use this matter to reconcile with the emperor?" ”

Before Yin Lingyuan could speak, Yu Zexian was dissatisfied: "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about all day long. ”

Ignoring his complaints, Yin Lingyuan said to Han Lu first: "Don't alarm the emperor for the time being." ”

"But ......" Han Lu wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Yin Lingyuan contemplating carefully, and closed his mouth knowingly.

This matter is quite difficult to deal with, if you talk about severe punishment, Sun Concubine's personality and palace know that she is doing this purely for vegetables, and it is not a serious matter in the end; But if she is just let go, she can buy this today, and she can buy that tomorrow, and Yinghua Palace will not be peaceful.

After thinking about it, let's find an opportunity to talk to the Queen Mother.

She told the Queen Mother about this as a joke, and when she went to deliver food, the Queen Mother left her for dinner, and when the two talked about dishes, Yin Lingyuan took the opportunity to say it.

The Queen Mother looked shocked when she heard this: "She is so bold? He committed theft in the palace. ”

"It's just some vegetables, and it's not stealing," Yin Lingyuan hurriedly said, "Concubine Sun may be confused for a while, or curious." ”

She didn't want to make a feud with a concubine with a good background because of a basket of vegetables, otherwise she wouldn't know how much trouble she would have in the future.

"You are good", the Queen Mother patted her approvingly, "It's just that they are really indecent these days, and the mourning family knows about this, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Yin Lingyuan was waiting for this sentence, and immediately put his mind at ease.

Later, I heard that the queen mother called Sun Concubine to reprimand her fiercely, and ordered that except for Yinghua Palace, the harem would not allow concubines to cultivate vegetables at will.

The matter reached the ears of the emperor, and he personally went to Ci'an Palace to ask for guilt, his own harem made the queen mother unpeaceful, which really shouldn't be. Thinking about the cause of the incident, it was just that he was angry for a while, but now that his anger has disappeared, he feels that he has wronged Yin Lingkite these days.

After many days, Qi Ye finally set foot in Yinghua Palace again.

Concubine Sun and several other fierce concubines were all fined for the month, and this farming turmoil was over. Only Sun Concubine was caught stealing vegetables, which really added a laugh to the harem.

In the eyes of outsiders, the biggest beneficiary of this matter is Yin Lingkite, who was originally snubbed, but Sun Concubine's troubles made him favored again, and some people speculated that it was Yin Lingkite's trick to join forces with Chuncao's master and servant to seek favor together.

I don't know that Yin Lingyuan is suffering words, Qi Ye is here, the peace of Yinghua Palace is gone, and even the Venerable has become yin and yang.

"How does this mandarin duck milk tea taste today", Yin Lingyuan pointed to her newly made milk tea and asked Yu Ze.

Yu Ze glanced lightly: "How did I know about this seat?" Ask your Emperor His Majesty to go, doesn't he know how to taste tea best? ”

Yesterday, Qi Ye came, just in time for her to make milk tea, Qi Ye gave a lot of opinions under the novelty, and the two developed this mandarin duck milk tea together, and the tea used was a mixture of two varieties.

"He understands tea", Yin Lingyuan said, "But Your Excellency has not only seen the milk tea of my world, but also understands the taste of the ancients, so his opinions are naturally more referential." ”

"Hmph." Yu Ze glanced coldly, turned around and didn't speak.

Yin Lingyuan looked at his back, suddenly blessed his heart, and blurted out: "Your Excellency, are you jealous?" ”

Yu Ze turned around with a bad look.

"I'm kidding." Yin Lingyuan immediately coaxed and said with a smile.

"It seems that this seat has been too indulgent to you these days", Yu Ze left a sentence and disappeared.

Yin Lingyuan called a few times in his mind, but did not get a response, pursed his lips and continued to make milk tea.

The days are getting warmer day by day, He Jieyu's belly is getting bigger day by day, the concubine is exempt from her daily greetings, and Yin Lingyuan goes to Ruixiang Palace to see her every other day.

"My sister's body is almost four months old", Yin Lingyuan sent fresh fruits and vegetables, and sat with He Jieyu chatting.

"Yes", He Jieyu's face was full of happiness, "It's finally past the first three months, and I'm still bothering you to send these vegetables every day, and I'm very comfortable to eat." ”

"That's good", Yin Lingyuan said with a smile, "I can't finish the dishes in my palace." "Since the launch of new dishes in the Cyclamen Building, the demand for the spiritual vegetables of Yinghua Palace is not as great as before, and she picks many vegetables when they are ripe and gives them to He Jieyu.

While the two were talking, the palace maid reported that the spring girl was coming.

"Please come in," He Jieyu said.

"Does she often visit her sister?" Yin Lingyuan asked.

"I'll come back every few days", He Jieyu pointed out, "I met the emperor a few times, I couldn't sleep because I had a body, and I ended up going to her." ”

Yin Lingyuan knew that this person's visit to He Jieyu was fake, and it was the purpose to get close to the emperor, but she made a gesture of caring about people, and He Jieyu was not easy to see.

The farming turmoil didn't involve her, but Chuncao was even more proud, and before anyone came in, she first called affectionately: "I haven't seen Sister He for a few days, how is my sister?" The little prince who took the dim sum last time liked it, and the concubine brought some more. ”

After the words fell, she entered the inner room, and when she saw Yin Lingyuan at a glance, her smile unconsciously faded a little, but soon she adjusted her expression and laughed again: "Sister Yu is also here, what a coincidence, why don't you have to serve the vegetables in the palace?" ”
