Chapter 7: Visiting Yunxi Palace
In the house, Qin Yuanxi was still perfecting his plan, and Ziyun approached lightly, standing behind.
Qin Yuanxi wrote on the table for a while, brushing the messy hair between his sideburns before he got up and turned to look at his henchman.
"Ziyun, go to the third county lord to send a message, let her come to Yunxi Palace as a guest at noon, and invite her to taste unusual food."
Ziyun: "......"
County Lord, even a dog can do this intimately.
After half a hard year this year, can't you let her rest for a day?
“…… Master, ...... today It's the slave's rest, can you make Ziyin ......"
Ziyun tried to struggle, not wanting to give up her vacation like this.
You must know that she had already arrived at the palace gate just now, and she was cut off like that......
Before the words were finished, Qin Yuanxi's sharp eyes swept over, making Zi Yun stop for a moment.
The thirteen-year-old county lord seems to be able to kill people with this look.
"Why, Ziyun, if you don't want to, you can go to Grandpa Mo's to rearrange a place and find a quiet corner to retire,"
“……”
It's ruthless.
Ziyun begged to no avail, so she had to bow her head, "The slave is willing to serve the master." ”
Qin Yuanxi waved his hand lightly, "Well, it's good to be honest, go ahead." ”
When Ziyun withdrew from the hall, she sat down again.
After finishing the meal, it was already past noon, and Qin Yuanxi was finally going to prepare to welcome guests in the pavilion outside the palace.
She first spread out the book in her hand on the page where the truth was recorded, and crushed it with some force.
It wasn't until this book was easily opened from the closed to this page that Qin Yuanxi nodded with satisfaction, closed the book, and placed it on the tea table in the main hall.
She turned around and ordered, "Ziyun, go and prepare the soybean candy I boiled the day before yesterday, and bring it out at any time when the time comes." ”
Soybean candy was mentioned by her grandmother before, and it is said that the imperial grandmother heard about it, but she couldn't do it.
Later, Qin Yuanxi's ancestors and grandsons tried to do something in the palace, but they ended in failure.
But Qin Yuanxi didn't plan to give up, she finally shared some brown sugar before, and made some more in the back kitchen.
The hard work paid off, the day before yesterday it was finally done, Qin Yuanxi and his two maids tried some, it was indeed as the imperial grandmother said, a rare delicacy.
It's just that brown sugar is too expensive, and she only made twelve pieces, and before she had time to send it to her grandmother, she generously 'charity' to her sister.
Ziyun had to admire the generosity of her master, and whispered yes, and was about to turn around and take it out, Qin Yuanxi's voice sounded from behind her.
"Leave three pieces behind." Qin Yuanxi said in a deep voice, "No... This is unlucky, so I still leave five pieces and send them to the imperial grandmother later. ”
Well, when you count your own sister, you are still a filial Lord.
“… Be. ”
Ziyun paused for a moment before rushing out again.
She didn't expect to persuade anything about this, and she wasn't qualified.
Thinking that the two children were jealous, the master only deliberately told the three county lords his true identity, and he never had other ideas.
In short, it's not bad, Ziyun thought in her heart that maybe the unpleasant temperament of the three county lords would settle down after they understood the truth.
After explaining the important matters, Qin Yuanxi stepped out of the palace alone and walked towards the pavilion in the courtyard garden.
Waiting for Ziyun to follow up, she was bored waiting in the gazebo.
Qin Lingyue was still nowhere to be seen, and Qin Yuanxi only felt that the sun above her head was shining on her body, making her a little tired.
It was only a moment, leaning back against the wooden pillar and closing his eyes lightly.
……
"Hey, wake up, wake up!"
In the pavilion was a beautiful woman in a red dress and a red dress who frequently patted Qin Yuanxi's cheeks while sleeping, with undisguised disdain on her face.
In this palace, those who love solemn robes all day long, except for the county lord of Yunxi, there is only the county lord of Hewan.
Among them, Qin Yuanxi loves luxury, and Qin Lingyue, the lord of Anhui County, also loves luxury.
The strength on his face became heavier and heavier, and Qin Yuanxi, who was just right, gradually woke up from his daze, only to feel a fire in his heart.
"Presumptuous!"
"Which dead slave would dare to disturb the rest of the county lord?"
Qin Yuanxi knocked off the palm on his face, and looked forward with angry eyes, but he saw Qin Lingyue's unhappy face.
Her expression changed, and when all her anger had dissipated, a gentle smile appeared on her face.
“…… It turned out that my sister was here, so let's sit down. ”
"I said, eldest sister, you didn't want to invite me to a new snack, I finally came here, why did you sleep here during the day?" Qin Lingyue looked her up and down for a while, but she didn't pay attention to the abuse just now.
"Let my sister smile, it's just that I had less rest yesterday and was a little sleepy." Qin Yuanxi got up from the edge of the pavilion and sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, his gaze falling on Qin Lingyue's cheek again.
Qin Lingyue glanced at the empty stone table a few times, stretched out her slender fingers and nodded, "Sister, what about the good food?" ”
Hearing this, Qin Yuanxi was not in a hurry, and moved his gaze around,
There is only the maid next to the third sister left in the pavilion, and Ziyun is no longer there, so it seems that she should take the food according to the explanation.
"Don't worry, sister, wait, the maid in my palace is already on her way."
Judging from the impatient nature of her third sister, Ziyun is estimated to have just opened, but Qin Yuanxi doesn't mind talking nonsense to appease the irritation in her heart.
At this time, Qin Lingyue was already starting to be unable to resist curiosity, stretched out a finger and knocked on the table.
Qin Yuanxi ignored it completely, and gently took out a silk scarf from his arms and carefully folded it in front of him.
Every move reflects the temperament of a royal noblewoman, Qin Lingyue sees it in her eyes, but her attitude is completely opposite.
In the distance, Ziyun slowly walked into the pavilion with a small plate of soybean candy in her hand, carefully placed it on the table in front of the two masters, and then lifted the silk cloth outside.
Qin Lingyue's eyes were first attracted by the things on the plate, and she saw a few boxy pieces of dark yellow lumpy objects on the plate, giving people a feeling of pastry or something.
It's just that a few people know that this is not as good as some pastries.
"This is the new food that the eldest sister talked about?" Qin Lingyue wondered.
Qin Yuanxi nodded, personally picked up the chopsticks on the plate and held a piece for her, "Exactly, this is the secret recipe that the imperial grandmother got by chance, call it soybean candy, which is unavailable in the whole world." ”
"Yes," Qin Lingyue looked suspicious, frowning and looking at the object in front of her.
Suddenly, a strange burst appeared in her eyes, "It's called soybean candy?" Could it be that it is made with soybeans and brown sugar, eldest sister, I think you are quite a loser? ”
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the coldness in Qin Yuanxi's heart passed for a while, and the corners of his mouth were still intoxicating.
"How come, my sister Wangwen is righteous, although this soybean candy is called this, it is not made of soybeans, but wheat flour and poultry eggs, fried in oil, and finally coated in sugar juice."
"Oh, that's it," Qin Lingyue stretched out her hand and turned over the sugar cube in front of her repeatedly, only to feel hard.
Leaving aside this uneaten new thing, just by wrapping it in sugar juice, the quality of soybean candy has been improved to the top.
Even if the boiling process of sugar has progressed since the founding of the Ning Dynasty, brown sugar has always been a royal level, not to mention flour and eggs, even if it is wrapped in silt, ordinary people dare not luxury.
Qin Yuanxi suggested, "Sister, all nine pieces of this sugar are here, and it is also cooked by your eldest sister and I myself, why don't you try this taste earlier?" ”
