When Gu Yunjin entered the Compassion Palace, Zhu Niang was whispering to the Queen Mother.

"Don't worry, it's all prepared according to last year, and it's all what the county lord likes to eat." Zhu Niang said.

The Queen Mother bowed her head, saw Gu Yunjin coming in, and said with a smile: "It's hot outside, sit down to cool off, Zhu Niang, take some bean halva candy to give Yunjin girl a taste." ”

Gu Yunjin was about to say hello, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words.

Every time she came to the Mercy Palace, she tasted a lot of drinks and pastries, but the sweets were a few.

Shou An bit her ear in private, saying that the Queen Mother was reluctant to share the sugar, and her family's heart and liver Sun Ke were not fond of sweetness, and only tasted one or two pieces occasionally, and Jiang Muyuan begged for sugar every time, although he begged for it, he would return more afterwards.

At that time, Gu Yunjin laughed when she heard it, and couldn't help but think of the Western candies that Jiang Muyuan gave her last summer.

At this moment, it seems that it was also the time of last year.

Zhu Niang took a small plate, put it down and said to Gu Yunjin: "This bean halva, I don't know whether to say it is candy or dim sum, Miss Zhao brought it when she entered the palace to meet the queen mother the day before yesterday." ”

Gu Yunjin understood.

Although she didn't recognize Zhao Zhiyu, because she was going to be Sun Rui's side concubine, Jingli had often talked about this "Tongzhi granddaughter Miss Zhao" recently, so Gu Yunjin had also heard of it.

The Empress Dowager motioned to Gu Yunjin to taste: "Zhao Tongzhi has served in Mingzhou for many years, and I heard that he had brought his son to serve before, but now he has been sent back to Beijing, but the family prefers the taste of Mingzhou, so he invited a cook from Mingzhou."

Mingzhou's bean halva sugar tastes good, but the two places are far away, it is not easy to preserve, it is easy to melt in summer, and it is sticky to the teeth, that is, in winter, the mourning family can occasionally taste one or two bites.

The cook of the Zhao family did a very authentic job, and when Zhiyu entered the palace, he sent some to the mourning family. ”

The territory of the imperial court is vast, and there are a lot of delicious foods, just because of the long distance, even if you are the queen mother, it is impossible to eat all the delicious food in the palace.

Before Gao entered the royal family, he also traveled to several places and was well-informed, and the flavors he liked when he was a girl, looking back now, I still feel nostalgic and liked, but even if I invited a cook into the palace to make it, it tasted different from that year.

However, this bean halva is similar to the impression of the Queen Mother in the old years.

Gu Yunjin tasted it, his mouth was full of bean aroma, crispy and sweet, all kinds of ingredients were just right, one more point was sticky, and one less point was loose.

Although there are shops in Beijing that have done this, they are not as palatable as these.

The Queen Mother was also very happy to see that Gu Yunjin liked it.

She was in good spirits today, leaning on the pillow, and reminiscing with Gu Yunjin about the past when she traveled in Jiangnan.

"Yunjin girl hasn't been to Jiangnan, has she?" The Queen Mother asked.

Gu Yunjin bowed, she grew up in the north since she was a child, and then followed the Xu family to Beijing, and finally went to Lingbei in her previous life, but that one must not be said, as for the south, she has never set foot in it.

"It is said that Jiangnan is extremely beautiful, I have read it from poetry, and I have heard some of it from the sister of the Fu family." Gu Yunjin said.

"Yes, Minzhi's child has lived in Jiangnan for many years," the Queen Mother laughed, "The girl's family should also go around, it's too late in the boudoir, and when you get married to Ayuan, when you have the opportunity, you will also follow him out, anyway, he will not be in Beijing for the whole month." ”

After the queen mother married the first emperor, she could only bind herself in Beijing and live in the palace for a long time.

Gu Yunjin is different, marrying into the Guogong Mansion, she doesn't have to be controlled by her feet.

After talking about Jiangnan, the Queen Mother mentioned Beidi again, and she had to talk about Gu Wei again.

"Time is impermanent," the queen mother sighed, "the mourning family is the same age as her, the mourning family is still in good spirits, but she has already entered the ground, and no one can expect it in this life." ”

Gu Yunjin saw that the Empress Dowager's expression added a lot of nostalgia and sadness, so he changed the topic: "Have you been to the Northland, do you like the taste of the Northland?" ”

"You don't think you don't say it, but when you say it, you think a little," the queen mother smiled, "but it's still the same thing, what is done in the palace is not as good as what the mourning family tasted in the north, probably because the people around you who use it with the mourning family have changed." Your third aunt is a drunkard and a joker, and everything is fragrant when you eat with her. ”

Gu Yunjin smiled.

The Queen Mother talked about the past, and then she got to the point: "You want to swim in the lake with Shou'an tomorrow, right?" You are a sister and a sister-in-law, you can untie her more, the jujube cake she likes will be sent to the boat tomorrow, and this bean halva, the mourning family left some for her, and you also asked her to taste it. ”

Gu Yunjin didn't expect the Queen Mother to call her for this incident, and she hurriedly responded to the accident.

As if she saw Gu Yunjin's surprise, the Queen Mother squinted her eyes and smiled: "Ah Yuan came to ask for jujube cakes for Shou'an at this time of year, and he was not here this year, so he had already entrusted Ke'er to Ke'er, and the matter of a few pieces of jujube cakes, can the mourning family not give it?" ”

Gu Yunjin Waner.

As long as Sun Ke doesn't empty the Queen Mother's sugar box, the Queen Mother will give it.

It's Jiang Muyuan, who is so careful that it makes people's hearts warm.

There was a sound of footsteps outside, as if someone from the palace had come to speak.

Zhu Niang went out to ask, smiled Yingying came in, and said: "The Queen Mother, said that the little grandfather, the little grandfather has arrived, and it was just passed from the imperial study, saying that the little grandfather has just returned to Beijing, and he is talking to the saint, and he will come to greet you in a while." ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "A-Yuan is back?" If you are in a hurry, you don't know how to report in advance! I don't know how long they will talk about things, don't be the same as last time, so that the mourning family waited for several hours and couldn't see anyone. ”

Xiao Zeng's father-in-law stood aside with his hands down, and when he heard the words, his eyes rolled, and he stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother, why don't you go to the imperial study to have a look?" ”

The queen mother bowed her head and said: "Go, you tell him that his daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door is still here in the mourning family, and if he doesn't come, the mourning family will not let go." ”

Xiao Zeng's father-in-law responded and walked quickly.

Gu Yunjin watched him leave, listening to the laughter of the palace maids and grandmothers, and his heart was also surprised and happy.

She was thinking about Jiang Muyuan, and she was also guessing when he would return to Beijing, but no matter how she guessed, she didn't guess that he would come back.

Now, one of them is in the imperial study and the other is in the Cixin Palace, and the capital and the two lakes, which are separated by half of the country, have been reduced to only half of the palace city.

She only had to wait here, for an hour or two at most, and she would be able to see him.

Thinking like this, Gu Yunjin couldn't help it, and bent his eyes and laughed.

Speaking of which, Gu Yunjin hadn't received a letter from Jiang Muyuan for a while, but he should have known that she was injured......

Will it still be like before, holding her hand, and carefully distinguishing the cause of every trace on her head?

The Queen Mother also saw Gu Yunjin's expression, and the smile that couldn't be concealed overflowed from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and she was about to hook the corners of her lips.
