Late at night.

His Royal Highness King Zhou returned to the palace from the Lantern Festival Palace banquet, still sleepy.

He couldn't forget that when he went to the Jin State Mansion on the second day of the first lunar month, he happened to meet Lan Ting and the same spring return to congratulate, the woman Wan Er Huanyan and Mrs. Yi's mother and daughter talked, and when they wanted to take the hot pot, they pinched their earlobes first, and the inexplicable sense of familiarity made him really suspicious.

So much so that at the luncheon, when he saw the sour bamboo shoots and snail meat pot on the banquet table, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

He knew that the sour bamboo shoots were the least liked by that person, and he was very resistant to the pickled smell of the sour bamboo shoots, but how could he know the likes and dislikes of that person?

I couldn't help but talk to the princess.

"Today's sour bamboo shoot and snail meat pot is delicious and appetizing."

The princess of his family really continued: "The concubine likes this dish the most, but unfortunately my sister doesn't like it, but the concubine is the wrong courtesy, and even sandwiched several sour bamboo shoots to my sister's plate, and my sister finally couldn't swallow it, and quietly told me that she really couldn't bear it." ”

It's really not his whims and delusions.

From that day on, the dream became clearer and clearer.

The woman who was playing with the flowers and plants with her sleeves turned her face to look at her.

He finally saw the face snuggled into his arms because he was drunk.

"This is the formula given by Wan Qing's brothers, and it is the 'peerless elegance'." The woman was still able to speak in her dreams.

He could even sense the wisps of fragrance in his dreams, like invisible spider silk snaring him, so that he could not break free.

Today, just now, he smelled the familiar fragrance in the princess's room, and couldn't help muttering the words "Fenghua peerless", and the princess was extremely surprised: "The incense given by my sister, Your Highness actually knows?" Also, this incense was originally given by Ye Jun, presumably His Royal Highness had appreciated it early in the morning. ”

Why did he have her in his dreams? Her smile, her mannerisms.

Even if he never appeared in a dream, Gu Chungui's preferences and habits gradually reminded him of it.

Yes, memories, as if these events should have been remembered by him in the first place.

She often talks and laughs, but she really doesn't like to join in the fun, as if today's palace banquet in Shangyuan Festival often makes her feel bored, and chatting with two or three confidants is in line with her interests; If it is not restricted by the law of etiquette, what she doesn't love the most is the set of hidden needles in the cotton, if she is bullied and ridiculed, she will be repaid, so she says that she is the most jealous, but don't look at her usually ruthlessly exposing the bad intentions of some slaves and maids, and reprimanding them harshly, but she will prevent the servants and maids from being executed at every turn, and the crime is forgivable is her constant thinking.

Don't look at her female red needle chisel, cooking and farming are very good, but she is the most lazy temperament, too lazy to compete for favor, lazy to be too lazy to fight with people, raising flowers do not like to raise those who need to be carefully cared for, when sleeping the most hate to be disturbed, when it is cold, I like to hide in the warm pavilion, I can pass the day with a book in my hand, and I like to hide in the house when it rains, she hates mud and dampness, and the rainy and hazy scenery is enough to enjoy it through the window.

But she is also nosy sometimes, and she will take the trouble to explain even what the servants and maids have on their minds, and she is not as repulsive and disgusted as many false Taoists as they are in love with each other, and she says that as long as it is a love agreement, she should not be ridiculed and ridiculed.

The more such "memories", the more it bothered King Zhou, and the more he felt it

The more I wanted to get close to her, the more I reminded myself of how ridiculous this mood was.

Gu Chungui is Lan Ting's wife, and she shouldn't be his side, but why does he think that he knows her better than Lan Ting?

"Your Highness." King Zhou suddenly heard the woman's voice.

He turned his head as if frightened, and for a moment he almost thought he was sitting there and falling back into a dream.

Of course it wasn't her.

Tao Fanglin took the box in the hand of the maidservant, and walked into the lonely pavilion, with a few dishes in the box, which looked like it was full of color and taste, but King Zhou did not taste Tao Cairen's craftsmanship, and he was a little interested, and listened to her soft and charming voice: "I heard that His Royal Highness drank alone, and the concubine went to the kitchen to prepare a few dishes to accompany the wine." Sure enough, it was produced by Tao Cairen again, King Zhou lazily picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, and then put down the chopsticks again: "You have a heart, but the dishes at today's palace banquet are already rich, and now it is really difficult to use." ”

Tao Cairen was very depressed.

She was careful to pay attention to the palace banquet, obviously King Zhou didn't eat many dishes, where did she have no appetite?

In the previous life, she despised the Gu family because she was nothing more than an orphan girl, and the chess pieces in the hands of Queen Shen were just chess pieces, and they were not worthy of deep friendship at all, so she didn't make a fuss about why the Gu family fought for King Zhou's sincerity except for a face, but since she had replaced the Gu family in this life, she had to follow Gu's "superiority".

Although Tao Cairen is conceited that his beauty cannot be said to be better than Gu's, he is also more beautiful and graceful than all living beings, at least he is softer and more affectionate than Princess Zhou, so as long as he can vote for King Zhou's favor, why can't he really replace Gu's?

Because I always heard my little aunt mention it in that life, Tao Fanglin also knew that a few "excellent longs" of the spring return, the female red needle chisel, this skill is aimed at pleasing the female parent, and it is unlikely that she will please her husband by relying on the female red, so it is nothing more than cooking, bottle offerings, incense, and poetry.

Poetry and music give her some foundation, and it is not difficult to improve. Although he only knew fur in his previous life, after he was reborn, he deliberately asked his father to invite a female teacher to train and teach, which can be regarded as broadening his knowledge. Xiangdao is a little aunt who is proficient, is she not as good as Gu since she was a child? In particular, a lot of effort was wasted in cooking, and at the risk of causing the delicate jade hands to become rough, the soup cooked was even praised by the Empress Dowager Shengci after tasting it.

But what she didn't expect was that since she got her wish and became a talented person of King Zhou, she had never "won the first battle".

King Zhou didn't want to chant poetry with her at all, and many times she deliberately provoked the topic, but King Zhou turned a deaf ear; As for the most certain incense, it never attracted the attention of King Zhou, once she felt that the incense in her house was not customary, and as soon as she wanted to talk about it in depth, King Zhou answered, 'It is slightly better than Qiao's brewing'...... Compare her to Qiao's idiot?! She asked King Zhou for advice on the way to make bottle offerings, but she couldn't do what she liked, and King Zhou directly asked her to worship the princess as a teacher...... And King Zhou likes food, but only a little taste of the food she sent several times.

"The concubine is clumsy, and the dishes that should be cooked are not to His Highness's appetite, right?" Tao Cairen couldn't help but ask.

King Zhou sighed: "This mouth of mine seems to have been given away from it." ”

Tao Cairen: ......

What she knows is that Zhao Lanting is indeed good at cooking, and a big man actually ignores the truth of "gentleman far away from cooking", but King Zhou was so troubled by Zhao Lanting

？ When did Zhao Lanting take care of King Zhou's three meals a day? Tao Fanglin really couldn't hold back the suspicion in his heart, the more he was afraid of what would happen, the more he couldn't help but be tempted.

"The concubine heard that the eldest cousin of the Zhao family has good cooking skills, and it seems that it is time to find an opportunity to ask the eldest cousin for advice."

King Zhou finally gave his talented people a straight look: "Go forward, Gu Yiren treats you kindly?" ”

Tao Fanglin was upset for a while.

She didn't want to be too careful, but she just couldn't help but reverie, why didn't King Zhou call him "Mrs. Sister-in-law", or even "eldest aunt", he didn't want to associate the Gu family with Zhao Lanting or even Dong Mingzhu in his selfish heart, but called him "Gu Yiren", which was the rank given to the Gu family by the imperial court, whether it was because Zhao Lanting was entitled, but in the eyes of His Royal Highness, it was his imperial father's recognition of the Gu family.

A title reveals His Royal Highness's ulterior feelings.

She remembered that because of the dangerous change in Ciqing Palace, she clearly reminded King Zhou that Dong Mingzhu went straight to Ciqing Palace despite her obstacles, but King Zhou didn't mind Dong Mingzhu's recklessness and almost implicated King Zhou's mansion and suffered an unwarranted disaster, so how did you say that?

- The princess is concerned about it, and it is rare that although the two of them are not really blood relatives, they can beat many siblings.

Later, Shoukang Palace was in danger, and King Zhou was very angry with Qiao's family, and even ordered Qiao's former residence to be locked up as a punishment hall for the slave family.

Where is it to make a appearance, it is clear that he really hates Qiao's family.

King Zhou was definitely not because Qiao's intention to frame Dong Mingzhu, it was obvious that he hated Qiao's family and almost caused Gu Chungui to die.

The more Tao Fanglin thought about it, the more frightened she became, and the more she thought about it, the more sad and angry she became, but she could only force a smile at this time.

No, not just to force a smile, she has to do what she likes.

"Of course, the concubine hopes to win the affection of the eldest cousin, but unfortunately she didn't have the opportunity to ......"

"Yes, Mrs. Shen's original idea was to match with you, although your father refused, but you will inevitably have some resentment towards Gu Yiren, and you are reluctant to get close."

Tao Fanglin: !!

"Your Highness said this, the concubine is really ashamed." I was so anxious that my eyes were red.

King Zhou waved his hand: "It's a big holiday, you still have liver sausages, it's also that I drank too much wine and didn't speak carefully enough, I took it back, you don't have to be so anxious." ”

Tao Fanglin hurriedly endured his tears.

King Zhou was depressed: I look so fierce and vicious? One sentence can make people laugh? It is really a sin to force a woman from a family to become a servant, and she cries and laughs when she cries.

"The concubine body is not a little mustard for Yiren, and Yiren must have no mustard for the concubine, but the concubine body has not been liked by the old lady of Taishi Mansion because of the little aunt, and then the little aunt went to Fenyang with the little uncle, and the concubine has fewer opportunities to go to the Taishi Mansion, where is the opportunity to get close to Yiren?"

King Zhou: Why did the strange woman suddenly change her title and call her eldest cousin Yiren?

But he couldn't help but say a reassuring word: "Although there is no chance in the future, where will I worry about the opportunity in the future?" The princess and Gu Yiren are inevitably allowed to move around, if you really want to apprentice, the princess will be happy to do it. ”

Tao Fanglin should be on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was aggrieved.

Naturally, there is even more jealousy and hatred for the spring return that is as turbulent as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.
