Chapter 187: Unexpected Joy
Liu Youcheng's question made Gu Banqin nod, for the sharing of this kind of good things, Gu Banqin has always been stingy, and said happily:
"Oh, the peony told me, this is called nourishing yin and nourishing soup, and there are a lot of things in it, what angelica, red ginseng, red dates, ganoderma lucidum and other more than a dozen kinds of medicines."
Gu Banqin's voice echoed in the Taihe Palace, and it seemed to have an echo, and the three men held the bowl in their hands, and their emotions were a little complicated for a while.
Nourishing Yin and Nourishing Soup......
Gu Banqin saw that the three men put down the bowl in their hands almost at the same time, and Master Tong drank the most, and his mood at the moment was even more complicated, so he couldn't help but take out a hurried handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped his mouth, and then stuffed the handkerchief into his sleeve with a calm expression.
Liu Youcheng pursed his lips and glanced at the soup he put aside, as if he was still very nostalgic.
Helian Hongyi exhaled, and after turning twice between the soup and Gu Banqin, he picked up the bowl with a smile, dried up the little soup left in the bowl, and then put the empty bowl on the tray that Gu Banqin had brought earlier.
Liu Youcheng and Lord Tong couldn't help but slander in their hearts.
Gu Banqin saw that Helian Hongyi finished drinking, and then looked at Tong and Liu Youcheng, and saw that the two of them raised an embarrassed smile at Gu Banqin at the same time, Gu Banqin regretted putting the bowl into the tray, called Wang Shun to come in, took out the tray and handed it to Liu Wu.
Master Tong and Liu Youcheng drank tea there vigorously, as if they wanted to dilute some not very good memories, only Helian Hongyi was the most calm, concentrating on reading his excerpts and files.
After Lord Tong felt that the hurt in his heart had calmed down a little, he came to Gu Banqin's side and said to Gu Banqin:
"Niangniang, Lanxiang Building is the first step, and now the first floor has been completed, but there are still some problems on the second and third floors, originally I wanted the Ministry of Industry to come directly to talk to Niangniang in detail, but there is no suitable female official in the Ministry of Industry, I am afraid that the question is not detailed, so I entrusted the minister to ask Niangniang."
"It's the drawings you gave to the Ministry of Works, some of which are very difficult to execute, that is, the craftsmen don't understand the meaning of Niangniang. However, if this kind of fortification is only on paper, it is really difficult to produce results. ”
Gu Banqin nodded: "Yes, it's best to say the decoration thing in person, otherwise it will be difficult for the craftsmen to start." It's just me...... If you want to go out of the palace, I'm afraid it's a little ......"
As soon as Master Tong said that, Gu Banqin's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Master Tong meant, if Gu Banqin could meet with the people from the Ministry of Industry, it would definitely be the most perfect.
Gu Banqin said as he peeked at Helian Hongyi on the side, hoping that he could listen to their conversation here and then react a little.
But what disappointed Gu Banqin was that Helian Hongyi concentrated on criticizing the excerpts, reading the file, and seemed to be unaware of what they were talking about here.
Gu Banqin and Master Tong glanced at each other, and Lord Tong also looked at Helian Hongyi, but he didn't dare to speak, but Liu Youcheng was assisted: "Does Niangniang want to go out of the palace to personally supervise and supervise the work of the Ministry of Works?" ”
As soon as Liu Youcheng opened his mouth, Helian Hongyi reacted a little, put a fold aside, and then raised his eyes to look at Gu Banqin while taking a new fold.
Gu Banqin was so frightened that she hurriedly avoided her gaze, and decisively admitted that she didn't dare to ask Helian Hongyi for the palace in person.
Just when Gu Banqin felt that he was whimsical and wanted to leave the palace, Helian Hongyi suddenly spoke.
"Do you want to get out?"
Helian Hongyi's voice was low and sexy, and he couldn't hide the smile on Gu Banqin's face when he heard it, and he ran to Helian Hongyi's dragon case with doglegs, diligently grinded the ink for him, and expressed everything with a sense of action.
Liu Youcheng and Master Tong glanced at each other, and smiled in unison, Helian Hongyi looked at Gu Banqin like this, and deliberately sold Guan Zi and said:
"Also...... No, no, no. ”
Gu Banqin worked harder, seeing that his sleeves were about to touch the inkstone, he didn't realize it, but Helian Hongyi saw it with sharp eyes, and reached out to open the sleeves for her.
When Gu Banqin laughed, her eyes were very dark and bright, and there was a kind of magic power to coax people to spoil her, Helian Hongyi found that he had no resistance to such a watery and spiritual gaze that seemed to be pleading, and after taking a deep breath, he let go and said:
"Bring a few more people with you."
When Helian Hongyi said these words, Gu Banqin's mind went blank for a few seconds, and then he became excited like fireworks exploding in the night sky.
I really didn't expect that Helian Hongyi would agree to let her out of the palace to play so easily, which is simply an unexpected surprise.
Gu Banqin didn't hold back, so she pounced on Helian Hongyi, fortunately Helian Hongyi reacted quickly, otherwise when she saw someone pounce on her, a grab would make her look good.
Gu Banqin didn't realize that he had escaped, and suddenly kissed Helian Hongyi on the cheek, and he was stunned by Helian Hongyi, holding the cinnabar royal pen and the fold, and the action paused for a long time.
Lord Tong and Liu Youcheng on the side were also startled, and hurriedly turned around indecently, Gu Banqin didn't notice it, and happily bowed to Helian Hongyi, who was still a little confused, and walked out of the Taihe Hall in a comfortable mood.
It wasn't until Gu Banqin left that Liu Youcheng and Master Tong dared to turn their heads, and they saw that Helian Hongyi still had no expression on his face, and even looked a little serious, but his cheeks and ears were slightly red.
Helian Hongyi coughed awkwardly, then put down the pen and fold in his hand, raised his hand and touched the place where Gu Banqin had kissed just now, it seemed to be a little hot in the heat.
Realizing his gaffe, Helian Hongyi swept over Liu Youcheng and Master Tong, who were staring at him with interest, and the two of them quickly turned their heads to look at the sky, gesturing a few clouds in the sky.
Regarding the contrived performance of these two people, Helian Hongyi just wanted to roll his eyes with them.
Gu Banqin hummed a little song all the way back to Lihua Palace, and the grass and color screen came up, and took off the mink cloak on Gu Banqin's shoulders, and then saw Gu Banqin jumping under the grape trellis and sitting on the chaise longue, looking happy by no means like pretending.
Cai Ping couldn't help but ask Liu Wu:
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Liu Fu shook his head: "I don't know, Niangniang came out of the Taihe Hall like this, I asked her on the way, and she didn't tell me, but I was really happy, it seems." ”
A few people were talking to each other here, when they heard Gu Banqin shouting catkins inside.
"Catkins, help me see how many casual clothes I have, not too fancy, plain. There is also a color screen, you let the small kitchen make some of the special points of our Lihua Palace, Ming'er asked Aunt Wu to go to the household with me, and tell Master Tong about those recipes. ”
"By the way, and, look at how much money I have in my purse, and give me the statistics. Also, prepare some better medicinal materials for me, if we don't have them in Lihua Palace, just take my cards to the Inner Court Division and ask for more angelica, deer antlers, ginseng, bird's nest or something......"
Liu Wu and Caiping glanced at each other, and both of them couldn't help but scratch their cheeks, they really couldn't understand why Gu Banqin suddenly made so many requests.
But since Gu Banqin said it, they could only do it, and Caiping was the most cautious, and after going to the small kitchen to convey Gu Banqin's words to the cook Aunt Wu, they went to the small study to find Gu Banqin to ask for clarification.
"Why did Niang Niang suddenly ask for so many medicinal herbs, do you want to eat them yourself, or give them away? If it is eaten by herself, the slave and maid will take it back directly, and if it is given away, the slave and maid will let the inner court priest wrap it......"
Gu Banqin was looking for a book in front of the bookshelf, and after listening to Caiping's question, after thinking about it, she replied: "Wrap it up, it's not for me to eat, it's for gifting." ”
"In addition, take a few more satin silk satin or something, the color should be dignified and old, that is, the kind of color that looks like the wife of a big family, take a few more. It's all on my account, and if you go back and send it down, just deduct it directly from the book. ”
There are so many things that can be taken in each palace every month, and Gu Banqin took them all at once, and it will take several months to make up for it, so Caiping thought about coming over to ask Gu Banqin clearly.
"Yes, the slave knows. Is this going out? Did you take the thing and give it to the old lady? ”
Caiping is the best at observing words and colors, and her brain is also smart, and she guessed Gu Banqin's behavior accurately, Gu Banqin didn't hide it from her, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, am I obvious?" ”
With a face full of incomprehension, Gu Banqin continued to popularize science: "The emperor allowed me to go out of the palace to go to Lanxiang Building, I thought, since I went out, I went to see my aunt and brought her something." ”
"When you go to the Inner Court, try to pick the good ones, don't let those minions be fooled, pick them yourself, you can pick the silk or something according to what I said, don't be too pretty, my aunt likes old colors."
After listening to Gu Banqin's words, Caiping suddenly realized, although he still didn't know, why suddenly, the emperor allowed his mother to go out of the palace to go around, received the order, and went to Liu Wu to take the pair of cards from Lihua Palace and went to the Inner Court.
Gu Banqin felt that she was in a good mood and couldn't read the book, so she simply went to pull weeds in her own field, sweated, and took a bath during the day, feeling refreshed.
Liu Wu and Cai Ping went to run errands, Peony routinely came to deliver the soup, Gu Banqin asked her to put the soup aside first, and let her comb her hair and makeup.
Peony not only knows medical skills, but also combs her hair and makeup, especially she can adjust rouge to make incense powder, and the rouge fragrance powder made of peony is elegant with aroma, but when she first smells it, the taste is very light.
Gu Banqin knew that Peony would make rouge and saw it from the hands of the little palace maid in Lihua Palace, and the rouge she used now was transformed by the hands of Peony, and the color adhesion was very good, and the color was also bright.
Gu Banqin looked at herself who was pulled into a fallen bun in the mirror, turned her head and smiled at Peony, picked up the rouge on the table, and handed it to Peony:
"This rouge is used very quickly, you have to hurry up there, last time I saw the eldest princess, she also praised the color of this rouge is beautiful, you make more, I'll send some to the eldest princess when I go back."
With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Peony opened the rouge box, reached out and wiped some of it in the box, put it on a ball of cotton and smeared it, and then smeared it on Gu Banqin's face.
