Early in the morning, I heard the sound of the little palace maid chiseling ice, Lu Qingjin rubbed his eyes and thought for a while before re-intracting into the quilt, Qinglan opened the door and walked in, the new thick tent a few days ago played a role, the cold wind outside the door did not blow in at all, Lu Qingjin only felt drowsy when he listened to Qinglan's footsteps.

Qinglan walked over a little helplessly and said gently: "Niangniang, let's get up early today, the little eunuch in the vegetable garden came over yesterday and said, many of the vegetables in the yard have grown, and those seedlings are old, let you go over today to see if it is a new wave." ”

Lu Qingjin stretched his waist and left the quilt with a shiver, and said while getting dressed: "You asked someone to prepare more baskets, and prepare some quilts or something early, such cold and fresh dishes outside must not be frozen."

Qinglan complained in a low voice while cleaning up the bed: "Niangniang is not too careful, isn't it also frozen vegetables that we eat now, how long can this fresh dish be eaten?"

Lu Qingjin raised his hand and gently tapped her head, wiping his face while saying: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, what can we do in our palace when we are so poor, it's not that these fresh dishes are relatively rare, and I don't know how much money I can save when the time comes."

Qinglan comforted her while following her towards the vegetable garden: "You don't have to worry too much, in fact, although there is relatively little gold and silver in the palace, fortunately, there are still a lot of antiques, and the emperor will naturally arrange it when the time comes."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Lu Qingjin subconsciously shrunk his neck: "I'm always the queen, I can't just ignore anything, okay, don't mention this, how about the little eunuch who was caught a few days ago?"

Qinglan hesitated for a moment before saying, "That little eunuch said that he was unknown and had been sent outside the palace, and the emperor asked you to leave it alone."

Lu Qingjin suddenly thought of the wrong place for the little eunuch, and thought that the palace had been steamed with smoke and vinegar for several days, so she became serious and asked coldly: "Honestly, where did this little eunuch go?" ”

Qinglan looked at her thoughtful eyes and sighed helplessly: "I know that there is no way to hide it from you, in fact, that little eunuch has Gu worms on his body, and it is specifically for women, after the emperor knows it, he will send it to his aunt's mansion overnight, you don't care, nothing will happen anyway."

Lu Qingjin was silent all the way and didn't know what to think, but Qinglan covered her stomach with an ugly face and staggered a little.

Aunt Lu lazily leaned on the chaise longue, and a little servant came over with a cup of tea diligently: "The one in the firewood room has been recruited, and it is indeed the person sent by Princess Wei, who said that there was a plan for the New Year's Festival, and he came to find a way to make the queen feel uncomfortable, but he was arrested before he succeeded."

Aunt Lu sneered coldly: "Yujie was still smart when she was old, and she was so stupid to be a princess for a few years, but it's a pity that I originally wanted to let her go."

The little guy hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you sure you don't care about their plan, what if the young lady doesn't want to?"

Aunt Lu drank the tea cleanly, quietly looked at the ginger slices floating at the bottom of the bowl, and said helplessly: "Originally, I didn't want her to marry the emperor, but the situation forced me to marry her, but now it's a good thing, but the royal family is cold, she always has her own offspring, and she has never thought about what the emperor Yuanfang thinks." ”

The little girl lowered her head and didn't dare to say more, Aunt Lu was silent for a while before asking softly, "What's the news from the people of the Western Regions?" ”

The little guy thought about it and said cautiously: "Jida is a person who knows the times, and he has taken action in the past few days, and there will be news in a few days, but Wei Jinzhi's side is not easy to handle."

Aunt Lu put down the teacup and nodded approvingly: "It's really not easy to do, this person is a variable, it's better to settle down early."

There was a lively scene in the greenhouse, the little eunuchs who came and went carefully carried the basket covered with quilts in and out, Qin Zhao walked to the door and was almost knocked out, Lu Qingjin was squatting near the bell pepper and said, "Do you water it every day?" How is it that this kind of bell pepper, which does not produce much, is the largest in production. ”

The little eunuch said quite aggrievedly: "Isn't it good-looking red, green, and green, Niangniang, you have to understand people's love for beauty."

Lu Qingjin almost laughed out loud, but before he could speak, he was pulled up by a force, and Qin Zhao said softly behind him: "This is a bumper harvest?" I see it's very lively. ”

Lu Qingjin excitedly turned around and handed the bell pepper to him: "Of course, I calculated that the vegetables harvested this time are enough for the entire palace to eat for a winter, and you can reward the vegetables during the New Year's Festival, so that you can save a lot of money."

Qin Zhao was in a very good mood when he watched the pumpkins the size of the two of them being carefully held out: "It seems that you don't plan to save a little bit of your restaurant, you must know that the ministers of the previous dynasty will not be polite to me." ”

"You really don't know anything about being a thrifty housekeeper, but it doesn't matter, who made me so capable, I can barely afford you." Lu Qingjin said as he pasted the cold bell pepper in his hand to Qin Zhao's face.

Qin Zhao touched her head with some amusement, and ordered, "You send some of them to the vegetable cellar, and find a warm room to take care of the rest."

Xiao Fuzi agreed and went to make arrangements, Lu Qingjin was pulled forward and asked with some doubts: "I haven't had time to rearrange this greenhouse yet, where are you taking me here?"

Qin Zhao said while carefully picking the road: "Isn't this a bumper harvest of your dishes, the cooks in the palace are all waiting, and they will take you to teach you how to make new dishes."

Saying that, the two of them walked to the kitchen, and Lu Qingjin looked at the cooks with burning eyes helplessly: "This is the imperial chef, and it's not the chef of Shengshi Pavilion, why do you need me to teach it?"

Qin Zhao leaned against the door and ate melon seeds, and the old god said: "Isn't it almost the New Year's Festival, the previous dynasty has already had an unknown number of please An folds, and I want to eat the dishes of Shengshi Pavilion in and out of the words, so you can work hard."

Lu Qingjin reluctantly began to teach, fortunately, the imperial chefs were just rigid in their thinking, and their hands and feet were still neat, Lu Qingjin almost talked about the main points after dividing five by two, and turned around sarcastically and sarcastically stood there to look east and west and look at Qin Zhao, who was still stealing a bite: "Look at those ministers, all of them are almost as cheeky as you, and they don't forget to impeach me on the surface, and secretly they still have to eat and drink."
