Chapter 45: It's better to get by than to get by
After spending most of the morning in the study, after lunch, Hongling couldn't stay in the courtyard anymore, but the only person in the entire palace who could be regarded as familiar was Yu Fangfei, so she came to Yu Fangfei's courtyard with a stomach full of bitter water.
Yu Fangfei was surprised for a moment when she saw Hong Ling coming to the door, and hurriedly greeted her, "Why did my sister come here today?" Tell me earlier, so that Ming Ming can prepare refreshments and wait."
Hongling waved her hand tiredly, seeing that she was so tired, Yu Fangfei chuckled slightly, and led her back to the back room to sit down.
Hong Lingtuan sat at the table, squinting and holding her face, and was stunned for a long time before she said slowly: "Since the last time I saw you and the prince here, I have figured it out, you are the most important person in his heart."
Yu Fangfei was taken aback by Hong Ling's words, and just wanted to say something casually to get rid of, Hong Ling said again: "But do you know why I'm so sure?" ”
Hongling's dark eyes were firmly projected against the light, Yu Fangfei slowly looked away, figuring out the teacup, and said, "I don't know"
"The prince has always cherished you and can't bear to hurt you, so when there are people around, he always pretends to be cold, and even treats others more ambiguously than for you, and the only reason he does this is that he doesn't want you to become the target of public criticism."
Yu Fangfei's eyes flashed, and she bit her lower lip slightly, "So my sister came today to warn me to stay away from the prince?" ”
I saw Hongling suddenly raise her eyebrows and wink playfully, and then burst into a spring breeze smile, and said: "So you know, I would think that every woman in this mansion has bad intentions, but only you will be removed."
Seeing Yu Fangfei's face full of puzzlement, Hongling deliberately prolonged the time for pouring tea as if she was selling it, and it took a lot of effort before she took a slight sip, and said: "I believe in the vision of your prince, besides, my position was originally yours sooner or later, and now I am just borrowing this seat to come to the fox and fake the tiger."
After speaking, Hong Ling raised her glass slightly and saluted in the direction of Yu Fangfei, showed a bright smile, and added: "So in the future, when there is no one around, you don't have to call me my sister and sister, just call me Ling'er."
Yu Fangfei finally couldn't bear it anymore, pushed the cup forward and said, "Sister, what do you mean?" If you feel that your sister has done something wrong, just say it, how can you be so low-minded?"
Hongling shook her head helplessly, and said, "I'm not joking, what I said today is what I really said."
But why is that? Didn't you ever have any interest in the prince? ”
"Half a minute, never".
Seeing Hongling's absolute appearance, Yu Fangfei's eyes shrank slightly, and her eyelashes trembled and asked, "Could it be that my sister already has a sweetheart when she was in Tianpu?" ”
Hong Ling sighed helplessly, patted Yu Fangfei's shoulder with her hand, and said, "Naturally not", Hong Ling then slowly got up from her seat and swayed into the courtyard outside the house, Yu Fangfei pursed her lips slightly, and also came out.
"Sister...", before Yu Fangfei could finish speaking, Hongling frowned and interrupted: "Call me Ling'er."
Yu Fangfei bit her lower lip and struggled for a long time before she spoke out awkwardly and said, "Ling'er, why are you telling me this?" ”
Hongling smiled with satisfaction and said, "Shouldn't your question be, 'Why doesn't your prince pretend to be ambiguous with me only in front of me?'" ”
Yu Fangfei was momentarily speechless when asked, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a silk scarf in embarrassment, and Hongling immediately said, "Aren't you shy?" Sure enough, after a while, a blush unfolded on Yu Fangfei's face.
"I told your lord that if someone bullies you in the future, they will use me as a target, and when the two of you have results, I will retire so that I can be free."
Yu Fangfei's eyes straightened for a moment, stared at Hongling with burning eyes, and asked, "That's it?" ”
Hongling smiled slyly, slowly turned to Yu Fangfei and raised her eyebrows, and said, "Do you think I'm pitiful?" ”
Yu Fangfei was stunned, nodded slowly, saw that Hongling squinted her eyes with satisfaction, leaned over gently, stuck to Fangfei's ear, and said mysteriously: "Feifei, I don't want to hide it, I also think I'm so pitiful, so if in the future, when your prince wants to torture me, bother to say a few more words to me in front of him, how about it?" ”
I saw Yu Fang Feimu blinking, and said helplessly: "This is the real purpose of your coming to me today."
Hongling scratched her head embarrassedly, thinking that she couldn't see her head in the future, thinking that she would not be able to see her head in the future when she was poisoned by Chen Jinye, it was better to find a reliable thigh to pick up first, if he dared to go too far in the future, I would pry his wife to teach him a lesson, and see who had a black belly.
Seeing that Hongling's expression gradually became a little hideous, Yu Fangfei frowned slightly, and took a small step back with disgust, only then did she poke Hongling lightly, and said, "Ling'er, why don't we go back to the house", Hongling came back to her senses, nodded happily, and followed Yu Fangfei back to the house.
"By the way, Feifei, the pastries you made before are delicious, can I call the little maid in my courtyard to learn?"
Yu Fangfei pinched the cup and said in surprise: "If you like it, I will do it with you in the future, where to use it to learn"
"Feifei, you don't know, although I am obsessed with your pastries, but I can't eat them all the time when I want to, as soon as the strength of scratching my heart and cheeks comes up, you can imagine how uncomfortable it is, but if I call someone to learn, then I can't eat it all the time when I want to?"
Yu Fangfei secretly looked at Hong Ling, seeing the energy of her exaggerated gesture with her sleeves, it was really hard to imagine that she was once the first talented woman in the heavenly spectrum, and a trace of disdain gradually appeared in her heart, so she only slowly brushed the mouth of the cup with a silk scarf, put it on the table neatly, and slowly showed a soft smile, and said, "Okay, I can't teach it."
Hong Ling thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince Yu Fangfei, you must know that Chen Jinye can be quite bewitched by her pastries, the so-called if you want to catch a man's heart, you must first grasp the man's stomach, Yu Fangfei seems to have done this, but she is so generous and willing to teach her...... The designated little maid is really a generous woman......
Thinking like this, Hongling had already left the girl and ran back to her small courtyard to call Xiaoqing to learn.
......
Yu Fangfei's yard.
Ming respectfully poured a cup of freshly brewed tea for Yu Fangfei, "Isn't the master afraid that the Liu family will learn and win the favor of the prince in the future?" ”
Yu Fangfei gently hooked the corners of her lips, "Do you think the prince likes me just because I can make delicious pastries?" ”
I saw that Ming Ming pursed his mouth, hooked the corners of his mouth firmly, and said, "Naturally not"
"Then what else do you have to worry about, go and get ready, go to the door to meet the Liu family"
"Yes"
......
"Xiaoqing, come with me"
Seeing Hongling running over and dragging herself with great interest, Xiaoqing was slightly startled and said, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
"I told Yu to teach you how to make pastries, you know what that means", I saw Hongling's eyebrows raise up and down suggestively, and her eyes sparkled as if they had been invested in gold coins.
Xiaoqing's shining eyes widened immediately, and she excitedly tugged back at Hongling's sleeve and said, "Really? Is Fang Fei really willing to teach me? ”
Hongling nodded to Xiaoqing very surely, Xiaoqing suddenly pounced on Hongling, gave her a big bear hug, and said, "Miss is the best"
"Ann, hurry up and calm down, I can take you to school."
After a while, the master and servant appeared outside Yu Fangfei's courtyard, obviously faintly greeted her, and said, "Niangniang, please come here", seeing Mingming's weak appearance, Hongling always couldn't help but think that she was so weak, if she blew harder, she would be blown away.
followed Ming Ming to the kitchen behind the courtyard, Yu Fangfei had already changed her outfit, and was guiding her subordinates to prepare materials, seeing Hongling and Xiaoqing coming, she said with a happy face: "You are here, na, I have prepared all these materials, Xiaoqing, you can remember it carefully."
Not to mention Xiaoqing, Hongling didn't expect Yu Fangfei to be able to call Xiaoqing's name at once, and was a little shocked, so she quietly pushed Xiaoqing and whispered, "Don't be afraid." Just study, I'll be here with you", Xiaoqing looked back at Hongling with emotion, and her nervous heart immediately relaxed slightly.
"This is glutinous rice flour, you need to mix it with warm water to this extent in a while", Yu Fangfei pointed to the noodles that had been reconciled on the side, and explained in detail how to be moderately strong.
"This is a red bean, you need to steam it and crush it, then squeeze it into sand with gauze and strain it out, and then ......"
"And these mung beans, you can grind them into powder and pour them into a bowl, steam them in water, and then mix in sugar and water to control the thickness, and then make a beautiful shape, and you can get out of the pot."
"By the way, there is also osmanthus cake, you want to ......."
Hongling watched Xiaoqing and Yu Fangfei and the two of them seriously and busily, and couldn't help but show a relieved smile, usually Xiaoqing loves to cry and cry, like a child who has not grown up, and now she can be regarded as a skill that can be learned, thinking about it, it seems that she has seen her burying herself in the kitchen all day after she finished studying.
An hour passed, Xiaoqing made glutinous rice cakes, mung bean cakes, red bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, etc., under the guidance of Fang Fei, and looked at Hongling with anticipation, and said, "Is it delicious?" ”
Hongling smiled and said, "Yes, it's quite an entrance", Xiaoqing jumped excitedly when she heard it, Hongling hurriedly grabbed Xiaoqing, calmed her down a little, smiled at Yu Fangfei embarrassedly, and said: "This little girl doesn't understand the rules, Feifei is not strange."
Yu Fangfei patted the ash on her body, smiled generously and gently, and said, "Ling'er is polite."
Xiaoqing immediately calmed down, gave a proper salute, and said with gratitude: "Xiaoqing thanked Fang Fei Niangniang"
Yu Fangfei gently helped Xiaoqing very kindly and said, "No need to be polite."
