Li Mingshan knocked on the side, openly and secretly exploring the news of 'Ye Bai', as if she wanted to know more about Ye Bai, and at the same time she was particularly interested in this green group, kneaded several dumplings with her hands and put them on the dustpan on the side, when she was in the palace, the mother concubine never let her do such trivial things that did not conform to the princess's etiquette in order to compete for favor.

She once made pastries for her mother, but in the end she threw the plate of pastries on the ground and told her not to go to the kitchen again, saying that it was a matter of the next person.

But when she saw this Mrs. Jing'anhou, she was talking about the cooking.

The two talked here for a long time, Bai Yulan finally let go, looked at the dustpan that was already full of Qingtuanzi, sighed, and said, "Okay, that's enough." ”

I can't eat enough, and even some of the attendants are counted, and everyone always has to welcome the fresh spring day together.

"Green, you let the kitchen steam it well, don't let the cook increase the heat." After Bai Yulan cleaned his hands, he wiped the water droplets on his hands and commanded.

After a while, a small servant came over to serve this pot of Qingtuanzi.

The little guy didn't know Li Mingshan, but when he saw Bai Yulan, he was also very respectful, but he was not afraid at all, and in the face of Bai Yulan's instructions, he happily accepted it, and asked the lady about the specific requirements as if he was equal, saying whether he wanted to add some materials.

"No need, when it's ready, send it to my kitchen, and I'll decorate all these dumplings." Bai Yulan smiled.

After the little guy answered, 'Okay', he stepped back, and Lu Yi was also discussing something with the little guy on the side, and the atmosphere was beautiful for a while, without the slightest sense of oppression.

Li Mingshan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, when she was in the palace, no one told her those interesting things, but whenever someone told her some gossip, once she was discovered by the concubine, she would be severely punished, and over time, her attitude became bad, and all the subordinates saw her, they were just trembling respectfully in fear to comply with her request.

"You can eat later, if the princess doesn't dislike it, go with the courtiers?" Bai Yulan invited.

The faint smile on the corner of her mouth always gave her a sense of familiarity.

"Hmm." Li Mingshan nodded, and went to the garden in the Hou Mansion with Bai Yulan, because both the Hou Mansion and his wife like fresh and vibrant things, so Ye Mingting planted flowers all over for Bai Yulan, and the entire Hou Mansion has planted a yard of flowers since Bai Yulan moved in, and even the variety is complete, which is comparable to the palace garden.

Li Mingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this kind of thing that directly crossed the level of royal officials, it is estimated that only Jing'anhou in the entire capital can make it, and he is not worried that there will be any officials who will participate in him.

The entire court is almost hollowed out from the center, most of the ministers don't have much expectation of their father, and the Marquis of Jing'an holds the military power, and now this delicate balance has been formed in the court, and no one has broken it.

"The high walls are full of purple and red, and Madame is like a rumor, and she is in love with Jing'anhou." Li Mingshan suddenly said without understanding.

Bai Yulan smiled faintly, but she didn't care too much, and said: "There is such a thing as affection, only the two of them here know, just like the rumors in the palace how much the emperor likes the princess's biological mother, but your biological mother was still given to death by the emperor many years ago." ”

Such words did not cause Li Mingshan much discomfort, her biological mother was a small character, the daughter of a small official, but she got the eyes of the Queen Mother, stayed by her side, and finally became the concubine of her father, she was no longer blessed by the Queen Mother, and the ending was also very miserable, after entering the cold palace, she committed suicide.

After that, her father has always felt a little guilty about her, and now the concubine adopted her by her side, but she got a lot of favor because of this, and she also became one of her father's favorite princesses because of this concubine's wrist.

"This kind of thing, naturally, only one of them knows the warmth and coldness." Li Mingshan said indifferently: "But this princess is indeed very envious of Madame, although she is facing everyone in the court, her identity is embarrassing, and she has no mother's support, but she is still so happy with Jing'anhou, and she is still raised by her side like a treasure, I am afraid that no one in the entire capital dares to be unfavorable to Madame." ”

"So the princess wants to have such power? Or do you still want to marry the princess as she thinks? She asked with more interest.

Li Mingshan was obviously stunned, she was not like his stupid mother, who entered the cold palace, and it was also for the sake of her father, and she was so tired that she stayed in the cold palace for so long, and suffered so many cold eyes from those palace maids and eunuchs.

"As a princess, can you have feelings?" She suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "In the end, it is just a tool for my father to stabilize his power." ”

If Ye Bai is also a person with no power and no money, then she will not be able to marry him.

Bai Yulan looked at her quietly, suddenly sighed, and said, "If the princess wants it, come to me, I will promise the princess this one thing for free." ”

After all, she did deceive other people's feelings, and she always had to pay something back.

Li Mingshan looked at her with a strange expression, this woman is so strange, why should she help her for no reason, and what can she say to let her marry a relationship? But it's not bad to leave a back road.

"Well, thank you, ma'am." She chuckled faintly.

Bai Yulan crossed the artificial bridge built here, and a new piece of hyacinth was planted next to the pavilion, Bai Yulan squatted down, folded a few branches, and a faint fragrance came to her nose, she handed it to Li Mingshan, and said, "These hyacinths may be very suitable for you." ”

Li Mingshan is wearing a purple dress today, and this piece of hyacinth is exactly this color, when she was in the court, the concubine taught her a lot of things about these flowers, and some flower languages are also remembered, hyacinth, means new life...... She didn't know if the lady meant it or not.

"Thank you, ma'am." She frowned.

Lu Yi suddenly shouted outside the garden, and his voice was loud: "Madam, the dumplings are ready, and lunch is ready." ”

In Li Mingshan's surprised eyes, Bai Yulan smiled and said: "Lu Yi is a girl who practices martial arts, and she has not been subjected to these palace rules. ”

"The princess doesn't mind, does she?"

"Naturally, it doesn't matter."

Li Mingshan narrowed her eyes, in fact, she liked this feeling very much, unlike when she saw the concubine in the palace, she was separated from her by a long table when she was eating, and the dishes on the table could only be eaten to a certain amount, and the food was silent...... The concubine has no feelings for her.

When it was time for this meal, Ye Mingting also came back from outside, strode in from the gate of the front hall, and still looked handsome in a dark robe, but compared to the time when Li Mingshan saw him before, he was more energetic, he saw that there was one more person in this room, and no matter who this person was, he directly stepped forward and gave Bai Yulan a hug, and couldn't help but kiss Bai Yulan on the forehead, and said in a gentle tone: "Madame's dress today is very pretty." ”

Bai Yulan didn't look shy, straightened her back, and said, "Of course, I'm prettier, and I'm pretty in whatever I wear." ”

Ye Mingting smiled, recently he praised his wife, he said a lot, she was a little embarrassed before, but now she is at ease.

After the two showed affection, Ye Mingting seemed to have seen Li Mingshan, and said: "The princess came to the mansion, and she was full of glory." ”

He said polite words, but there was no etiquette.

"I just stayed in the Hou Mansion for a meal, and the relationship between the Hou Ye and Mrs. is as rumored, which is really enviable." Li Mingshan also smiled faintly and went back politely.

Li Mingshan came at this time, Ye Mingting also found an excuse, gave up the position of the so-called head who was the farthest away to Li Mingshan, and ran to sit next to Bai Yulan.

"Ben Hou thinks that Madame's skills have become more and more refined recently." He tasted it and praised his wife: "Madame is really virtuous and beautiful. ”

Bai Yulan didn't bother to pay attention to him, after he recovered from his illness, his energy was also very good.

"Is this what Madame did for her husband?" He said with an excited face.

Bai Yulan silently took another bite of the ball, Nie Qinghe didn't know when he also came over, and tasted: "The entire Hou Mansion seems to have this, and Madam is preparing a copy for each person in the whole mansion." ”

Ye Mingting snorted like a slap in the face, Nie Qinghe dismantled the stage so blatantly, he snorted coldly: "Did you do it?" ”

"It's not."

"Then Ben Hou thinks that what Madame said is the standard, what does Madame think?" The latter cast a serene look.

Bai Yulan immediately said to the people around her: "Naturally, it's different, I'm making a stuffing for you alone." ”

Ye Mingting was satisfied, today's lunch, even the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas was tasteless, but he ate Bai Yulan, the little green tuanzi in front of him, completely.

"When I didn't have enough food and clothing, my mother used to like to go to the fields to pick these weeds and come back to make this kind of green dumplings." Ye Mingting couldn't help but sigh a little: "It's also delicious." ”

Bai Yulan remembered that the blind mother-in-law's cooking skills were indeed very good, and before that, she never thought that this mother-in-law would be a fleeing golden and noble princess, and her fingers would not touch the spring water.

And how much suffering has she gone through to practice her craft so well.

Bai Yulan didn't know what to say at this time, so she heard Li Mingshan say carefully: "There are many guests in the Hou Yemen, can you remember one who called 'Ye Bai'?" ”

Ye Mingting had many visitors, although most of them really didn't remember, but he had a deep memory of 'Ye Bai', he looked at Bai Yulan with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, princess wants to?" ”

"Princess Ben, I want to ask for information about this Ye Gongzi, which country?" When Li Mingshan said this, she explained a little embarrassedly: "The Queen Mother is going to hold a banquet, and the name of this Ye Gongzi is also on the list, so ......"
