Nianyun returned to Yiqiu Palace with his front feet, and Guo Yan sent many flower pots with his back feet, which were full of peonies, big and big, much bigger than the ones he had seen in Shengping Mansion before, and he knew that it was an excellent variety at a glance.

Peony is the flower of the emperor, she has married the prince's most important eldest son, and the future she can hope for is from the county lady to the princess, to the queen, and the queen mother.

Every step of this is not easy, and every step may change, traps and killings.

But the most important thing is to live, to the end, in order to protect the Guo family and protect her children.

There is such a vacant land in the back garden of the East Palace, which was originally planted with roses, but in the past two years, the roses have bloomed more and more badly, and the color has become lighter and lighter, but they are still growing wildly, and they are all crowded to the side of the peony and impatiens on the ground.

Nian Yun ordered someone to shovel the rose, turn that area into a peony garden, and transplant all the peonies in the pot.

The transplanted flowers and trees always need a period of time to be raised, and it is not possible to separate enough nutrients for the flowers, but it is a pity that the flowers are so good.

Nianyun ordered the maid to take advantage of the dew in the early morning to pick two or three delicate and complete peony petals, mix them with corn flour and minced fish, add various seasonings to mix and hang the paste, fry them in the pot until they are golden brown, and put them on a plate as a snack.

Li Chun came out of the study after handling business and prepared to have lunch with Nian Yun. Nianyun was ready, and ordered the maid to set the table, but she didn't serve the food first.

"Chun, close your eyes and give you a taste."

Li Chun closed his eyes obediently, as if a maid had gently placed a plate on the table. Nian Yun said softly with a little coquettish idiot: "Open your mouth." ”

Nian Yun took a piece of something and put it in his mouth, "Is it delicious to taste?" ”

Li Chun ate it, opened his eyes in surprise, and saw a plate of white porcelain plates from Jun kiln in front of him, with a golden shape like flower petals. It smells fragrant but not greasy, and the fragrance is pleasant.

He picked up another slice of his own and put it in his mouth to savor it.

"Is it delicious?"

Li Chun nodded: "Very good, it tastes crispy and refreshing, with the fragrance of meat but not the fatness of meat, and it seems to have a little floral fragrance." ”

Nian Yun was happy: "I invented it newly!" ”

"Really?" Li Chun pulled her to sit beside her and reached out to scrape the tip of her nose, "My wife has always been thoughtful, and she is becoming more and more intelligent and virtuous!" ”

Nianyun squinted his eyes and laughed, leaned into his ear and said: "It was the peony flower that my third brother gave me, I fed it, and now it blooms well, my dim sum made of peony petals, think about it, it is the fragrance of peony!" ”

Li Chun also laughed: "Guo San does have a hand in making these things that make the wind and the moon!" ”

The green pothos had already taken the maids to set up the lunch, and Nianyun said while preparing the vegetables for him: "My brother should naturally go to the wind and the moon, he is not the prince and grandson, so he doesn't need to worry about salty radishes like the men of your Li family." Besides, there are two beautiful women who are like flowers and jade, and I don't know that the wind and the moon are called the scenery! ”

Li Chun glanced at her and said, "I don't know how much I envy Guo San!" ”

Nian Yun teased: "The men in the world don't know how many people are envying you!" Do you envy my brother for being able to sing the wind and the moon, or do you envy his beauty? ”

While eating, Li Chun looked at Nianyun with a joke in his eyes, and deliberately misinterpreted her words: "It is rumored that the lady of Guangling County is as gorgeous as Princess Chuxiao, and men in the world are indeed envious of me!" ”

Nian Yun glanced at him and said angrily: "Eat your food!" ”

Li Chun smiled and gave her a chopstick mutton: "Although the food is delicious, the beauty is more delicious, I will eat more bowl of rice today." ”

The mutton came to his mouth, Nianyun smelled the fishy smell, and suddenly felt a surge in his stomach, and hurriedly put down the rice bowl, covered his mouth and leaned over to the side to retch. Seeing this, the pothos hurriedly brought it to rinse, but she didn't vomit.

Nian Yun glanced at the dishes on the table, no longer had an appetite, got up and said, "I think it was the wind blowing yesterday, and the spleen and stomach were a little discordant - you can use it, leave me alone, I'll just take a rest." ”

Li Chun said: "I called the doctor to take a look for you?" ”

Nianyun said: "It's okay to take a look, the weather is good today, I'll go to the back garden for a walk, and ask the doctor to go directly to the back garden to find me." ”

Li Chun smiled softly at her, his eyes rippled with the spring water of March, with a hint of pampering: "It's okay, you go first, I'll go to you after dinner, I've always heard that the back garden is filled with flowers sent by Guo San, and I have never been to see it." ”

Nianyun stood up, the green pothos wanted to follow her, Nianyun said: "It's good to have fennel with you, you serve the king of the county to eat, I just go to the back garden to see the flowers." As he spoke, he walked out without hurrying.

After walking out, Nian Yun asked Fennel in a low voice, "When was the last time I had Kwai Shui?" ”

Fennel's eyes widened suddenly, and she almost screamed: "Eleven Niang has been fifteen days late for this month, is it ......?"

Nianyun has recovered since giving birth to You'er, and Kwai Shui has always been very accurate for most of the past six months. After experiencing it once, she knew it in her own heart, because she advised: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

She didn't go directly to the back garden, but took a slight detour, from the willow-shaded path, to the front of the courtyard where Hui Niang lived.

It was also appropriate that day when something happened, and I saw Hui Niang sitting in the pavilion under the shade of the willows from a distance. Nian Yun walked a few steps quickly, and also arrived in front of the pavilion, and said with a smile: "My sister is so interested. ”

Hui Niang looked back and saw that it was her, and she also showed a smile, stood up and said, "It's just that I've had lunch, I have nothing to do, come out for a walk." ”

Nianyun said: "The peony that my brother sent yesterday is excellent, but unfortunately it will be gone soon after transplanting, so it is better for my sister to go with me to enjoy the flowers." ”

Hui Niang sighed slightly: "It's okay." ”

The two of them came out of the pavilion, pulled the housework, and walked to the back garden.

Nian Yun said: "This is still last year, he has a friend from Luoyang who brought him a few famous flowers. Originally, after a long journey, the flowers were going to die, but I didn't expect Chang'er's skillful hands to feed them. My brother thought that our garden was too plain, and said that there was a lack of bright and large flowers, so he specially gave me these good flowers, I don't know much about these, and I owe him that he has this thought. ”

Hui Niang's eyes looked away and said, "It's also your brother who knows how to love you." ”

Nianyun chuckled: "I said that I was originally a vulgar person, and I only knew how to settle accounts and move things around the world. This morning, I asked people to pick good petals and fry them, you say, am I chewing peonies? However, Chun had lunch at my place just now, and he boasted that it was delicious! ”

Hui Niang replied lightly: "The king of the county really spoiled you, and he ate with you again." ”

Nianyun said: "I probably like my cook, I've been tired lately, and I'm too lazy to deal with him, so I asked him to go to the three younger sisters more, and he wants to come." ”

Hui Niang was a little bored in her heart, but Nianyun didn't seem to notice her emotions at all, walked lightly all the way, kicked the pebbles on the ground, and said with a smile: "I went to see You'er in the morning, and I have already learned to run." I told the nurse not to help him, and when he fell, I asked him to learn to get up by himself. This kid is really growing faster and faster day by day, sister, don't you say? ”

These words poked at Hui Niang's sore feet, her Yun'er was several months older than You'er, but somehow, learning to walk is slow, and it is not good to walk so far.

Originally, the child was less than two years old, so there was no need to worry, but he was afraid that people would be better than others, and Ning Er in front of him was talented and intelligent, and he was the eldest son, and he could speak very well at the age of one. The next sister-in-law is a sister-in-law, and she will run away, and the child who came out of her belly is also the least qualified.

As he spoke, he had already walked to the pond in the back garden. Originally, Hui Niang liked lotus flowers the most, before Nianyun came to the East Palace, she liked to stroll in the back garden at the beginning of summer, see the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the pond, and the pavilion in the wind.

But Nianyun didn't like it, when she was pregnant, she said that the lotus was the most annoying when it was ruined, and she ordered someone to clean up all the dead lotuses and still didn't understand her hatred, so she simply dug it all up.

Now it is planted with duckweed, and there are many irises and cattails planted on the shore, and the sweet fragrance is exuded in the wind. Hui Niang suddenly realized that she hadn't been to the back garden for a long time.

When Li Chun got married, she saw the new lady for the first time, and she was quite ashamed of herself. But at that time, Nianyun had no favor, she thought she was safe, at that time, she was also pregnant with Yun'er, and the scenery was unparalleled for a while.

Later, she realized that at that time, it was just that Nianyun didn't want to be pampered, so she just gave her a little. When Nian Yun wanted to, Li Chun lived in her yard without hesitation. With the birth of her sister-in-law, the love and attention given to Hui Niang has been pitiful, and she even heard that Nianyun had a very tricky taste when she was pregnant, and Li Chun actually cooked food for her.

Nian Yun rarely took the initiative to talk to her, it was not that she couldn't hear it, she deliberately pulled her to show off her favor and superiority.

She was telling her that she was the county lady, that she had a brother who came to visit her from time to time, a husband who was by her side every day, and a smart and lovely son around her knees.

Hui Niang looked at the duckweed grass full of ponds, and countless resentments suddenly appeared in her heart, she snorted lightly in her nose and sneered: "Madame is a little too carried away. ”

Nianyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in a daze: "What did my sister say just now?" ”

Hui Niang leaned into her ear, lowered her voice, and sneered: "Madam is complete now." But I have heard that it was not the lady who gave the marriage to the king of the county by the holy decree......"

Nian Yun's face changed greatly, and he said coldly: "My sister is so slanderous, is there any evidence!" ”

Seeing her like this, Hui Niang felt more and more that Nianyun was sneaky, so she simply guessed: "I don't know what means Mrs. used to make her sister die violently, and after marrying the king of the county, she didn't know who she would meet by visiting the market......

Nian Yun seemed to be a little frightened for a while, and took her hand: "Good sister, you ...... Don't talk nonsense! ”

Hui Niang was even more determined to grasp Nianyun's handle, seeing that she seemed to be a little soft, she only felt relieved in her heart, and dropped her hand, "You don't say anything good sister, who is your sister!" ”

It doesn't matter if she falls, Nianyun is standing on the bluestone by the pond, she obviously didn't use any strength, but Nianyun slipped under her feet, dragged her hand forward slightly, and fell straight into the duckweed bush behind.

"Sister, why are you like this-" Nianyun screamed, his body fell into the water, and he grabbed his hands in panic, tearing off a piece of duckweed.
