Lu Qingjin, who had returned to the palace, had just sat on the chair and before he could speak, he heard Qinglan scolding outside the door: "How do you do things, these little things also need to trouble Niangniang?" ”

Lu Qingjin frowned and walked out, only to see a few immature-looking little palace maids kneeling on the ground, she sighed and asked, "What's going on?" I see that you are not from my palace, have you encountered any difficulties? ”

Qinglan saluted and said crisply: "A few of them are the guards of the cold palace, and they came today because there is a lot of garlic in the warehouse of the cold palace, because there is not so much need in the restaurant, and no one from the Huangzhuang side has come, so they came to ask how to deal with it, and the slave maid thought that it was a trivial matter and did not inform the mother." ”

Lu Qingjin then remembered that there was still a lot of garlic left in the cold palace, sighed and said: "Forget it, they can't call the shots, I'll go and take a look!" If it's not too much, send it to the Imperial Dining Room! ”

As he spoke, he walked out, and as soon as he left the palace gate, he met the oncoming Concubine Li, both of them were startled, Qinglan looked at Concubine Li's outfit and pursed her lips without a trace, Lu Qingjin didn't feel anything and said with a smile: "Why did you come here again not long after we separated?" ”

Concubine Li looked around and said cautiously, "Isn't there something I want to discuss with you?" It's related to Simin'an. ”

Lu Qingjin frowned and waved his hand to signal Qinglan to follow from a distance, and asked while walking towards the cold palace with Concubine Li, "Did you think of something, or did your brother give you some news?" ”

Concubine Li paused before saying: "Originally, I didn't want to say it, but this matter is very important, I thought about it for a long time and decided to tell you, in fact, the matter of arresting Si Min'an was done by the current emperor, and then Lord Lu Qi suddenly said that he was caught, and the emperor was so angry because the current emperor was not good at doing things, so he later handed over the errand to the general." ”

Lu Qingjin's heart suddenly tightened, if Qin Zhao had already known about Si Min'an's affairs, would he have known his identity a long time ago, then was there any other reason why he was so good to him!

Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked, "Then do you know what my aunt's identity is?" ”

Concubine Li shook her head and sighed: "I don't know what the identity of my aunt is, but not long after Simin died Lord Lu Qi left your aunt, and even drove her only son out of the house for your aunt, if it is said that my aunt has no other identity, I don't believe it." ”

Lu Qingjin really felt that the world she lived in was confusing, and she sighed with a headache: "Let's forget about this matter first!" I'll ask my aunt after a while, and I think she didn't reveal this matter to us last time for no reason. ”

Concubine Li nodded and asked curiously, "Where are you going!" I looked at this route like a cold palace. ”

Lu Qingjin relaxed and smiled: "I went to the cold palace, I heard the palace maid who guarded the cold palace said that there was a lot of garlic in the warehouse, so I thought to see if I could transport it to other places, otherwise it would be too wasteful to put it in vain." ”

While speaking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the cold palace, and when the door of the warehouse was opened, both of them were startled, only to see that the floor of the warehouse was full of garlic, and even the air had a unique fragrance of garlic.

Concubine Li looked at Lu Qingjin in surprise: "How did you grow so much garlic?" You won't secretly continue farming in the cold palace, will you! ”

Lu Qingjin waved his hand again and again to deny: "I'm not crazy, this doesn't look like we made it, this batch of garlic is already a little shriveled, it should have been sent over at about the same time, but I don't remember that there are so many plants in the palace!" ”

A little palace maid guarding the cold palace walked over with her head down: "Qi Yu Niangniang, these are all planted by the palace people of each palace, because there is no place to put it here, but the merchants of the Western Regions don't like this kind of garlic, so everyone doesn't want it in desperation." ”

Lu Qingjin shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, you can't send all of them to the imperial dining room!" I know a way to use up all this garlic, but I need your cooperation. ”

Everyone present, whether it was a master or a minion, looked at Lu Qingjin without saying a word, and that look almost made Lu Qingjin think that he was a monster.

The lively queen palace was full of people, and the palace maid who passed by looked curiously at her companions and asked: "What is this queen mother tossing?" Why do I smell so good? ”

The companion whispered, "You don't know yet! It's been tossing for two hours, and no one knows what it is. ”

Concubine Li in the queen's palace carried a bucket and put it heavily in front of Lu Qingjin: "What the hell are you trying to get here!" With so much cooking wine and soy sauce, can you still eat this garlic soaked in it? ”

Lu Qingjin raised the salt-stained garlic in his hand with some pride: "Look at this garlic, there is a lot of salt on it!" Wait a while, put it in and marinate for two days, it will definitely be delicious. ”

Buckets of garlic were lifted out, and after a while, the garlic in the warehouse was all used up, Concubine Li looked at her hands with some disgust, and the thick sweet and sour taste came from her hands inexplicably tempting.

Concubine Li hammered her sore waist and said, "The taste of your thing is really good, I am almost drooling when I smell the soup in my hand now." ”

Lu Qingjin stretched his waist and took the tea handed over by Qinglan and took a sip of tea before saying: "This thing is called sweet garlic, the taste is sweet and sour, comparable to sweet and sour pork, you can eat it in two days, if you don't believe it, you can lick the soup on your hand, anyway, it tastes the same." ”

Concubine Li looked at her hand and hesitated for a while, it was the upbringing of the big family that prevailed, she looked at the palace people who had already walked away and said with a smile: "These minions in your palace are quite capable of working, but just now I saw that a few people in the kitchen have also come over, wouldn't it be that I haven't even had a meal after working for so long!" ”

Lu Qingjin coughed a little weakly, and said in his heart, I didn't expect it! His face was still calm and said, "Are you sure you want to eat here with me, isn't your little guard still in the palace?" What if I haven't seen you here for too long? ”

Concubine Li smiled shyly at first and then sighed and said: "I know you don't care about this, but you haven't thought about it these days, I don't know why I just want to marry the emperor, and now I just want to live a peaceful life with him, I just hope that the emperor will be perfect!" ”
