The sky was as clear as washing, and the wind was blowing, mixed with the slightest scorching breath. The surface of the lake in Hanxiang Garden is slightly rippling, and the water of the lake is sparkling in the sunlight. A pool of lotus flowers bloomed just right, some had opened three or two petals, and some were already in full bloom. A blue dragonfly rested on a budding flower bone, its thin, transparent wings fluttered twice, flew to the surface of the water again, and then flew away.

The white horse passed through the gap and suddenly came to the moon.

Han Yuxuan is surrounded by bamboo trees on all sides, the woods are shady, the sound is up and down, and when you step here, you only feel cool and happy, and you don't feel the heat at all.

In Han Yuxuan's small kitchen, Han Yue was busy on the side of the table. She was dressed in an autumn-colored silver trimmed Luo skirt, and her hair was only fixed with a mutton fat jasper hairpin, such a simple outfit really looked fresh and pleasant in the hot summer, which made people shine.

"Miss, let us do these things as slaves, your injuries are not yet fully healed." Zi Mo followed Han Yue's side and persuaded bitterly.

"It's been three months, and my arm injury has long been healed, so you don't have to treat me as an injury so carefully." Han Yue replied to Zi Mo on the one hand, but the work on her hand did not stop at all.

"Mother Wu, can you see what I'm doing here?" Han Yue then turned her head to Mother Wu and humbly asked for advice. Mother Wu is the cook in the palace kitchen and the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper Uncle Zhou.

Mother Wu looked kind at the moment, "Princess, you have done a good job, then you just need to put the cake in the steaming drawer and wait for it to be steamed." ”

"Thank you Mother Wu for your advice, I'm tired." Cold Moon responded gently.

"The princess is really tormenting the slave and maid when she says this, this is what the slave and maid should do, and it is nothing. Princess, you really have a heart, and you personally make pastries for the prince to eat. Mother Wu was looking at Hanyue with a smile. Hanyue was embarrassed to get up when Wu's mother said it.

After the pastries were steamed, Hanyue put the pastries and tea into the food box, and then walked towards the study.

At this moment, Nangong Jing was handling official business in the study, and Ling Feng was guarding the door outside. When he saw that it was a cold moon, he saluted respectfully.

Han Yue pushed the door in and saw Nangong Jing sitting at the desk looking at the official document.

"Lord Wang." Han Yue called Nangong Jing softly, her voice was crisp and slightly cool.

Nangong Jing raised his eyes when he heard the voice, and put down the file in his hand, "Why are you here?" Why don't you have a good rest in your room? ”

"The concubine is fine, besides, it will be boring if you stay in the room all the time." Han Yue slowly stepped forward and walked to Nangong Jing's desk, "The prince must be tired of dealing with official business, and the concubine made some snacks. As he spoke, he opened the food box.

Han Yue was holding a cup and plate and wanted to put it down, but the desk was full of official documents and files, Nangong Jing saw this and hurriedly cleaned it up simply, but unexpectedly ran into a pile of books on the side, the book fell to the ground, and turned out a peach blossom note.

Following Han Yue's gaze, Nangong Jing also saw the peach blossom note that fell on the ground, he paused for a moment, squatted down and reached out to pick it up, re-inserted it into the book, and then smiled casually: "I've been really busy lately, and my desk is so sloppy." ”

Regarding Nangong Jing's expression, although Han Yue was a little puzzled, she didn't think much about it. She smiled brightly, "Lord Wang, try the craftsmanship of the concubines." ”

There are several crystal clear square cakes on the green glazed ice cracked lotus leaf plate, and the cake is also delicately carved with small lotus flowers, with fresh colors, which makes people look very appetizing.

Nangong Jing reached out and took a piece, took a bite and chewed it carefully. Hanyue watched from the sidelines, his face full of anticipation.

"It's really refreshing, and it's perfect for summer." Nangong Jing tasted one bite and still didn't feel enough, and after another bite, he ate one piece in a while. "Yue'er, what is this cake made of?" Nangong Jing asked suspiciously.

Han Yue smiled slightly, there was nothing happier than the dim sum she made with her heart to win Nangong Jing's love. "This is a mint lotus root powder lotus seed cake, lotus root and lotus seeds are seasonal ingredients, and it is easy to get hot in summer, lotus seeds can defeat the fire, and finally add mint juice to add a cool taste."

"How about the prince try this tea again?" Han Yue took out another cup of white jade vines entwined with branches.

I saw the cold moon green onion white slender hand lightly twisted the tea leaves into the cup, boiling water injected, clear and slightly green tea rippling, and the aroma instantly diffused with the heat.

Nangong Jing took a sip, "This tea is very refreshing, and it is fragrant after drinking, which is a perfect match with lotus seed cake." Fu said, "It's obviously green tea but it has the fragrance of lotus flowers, Yue'er, how did you do this?" ”

"When the lotus flowers first bloom in summer, they bloom in the evening. Pinch a little tea leaves with a small yarn bag and place them in the center of the flower. Take it out in the early morning of the second day, and then soak it in the spring water, and the fragrance is still overwhelming. "The cold moon is telling the story.

"Yue'er really has a blue heart, and she actually came up with such a wonderful method. In ancient times, Qu Lingjun drank the fall of magnolia in the morning, the autumn chrysanthemum of the evening meal, and the lotus tea of the moon today. Eating flowers is also quite elegant. Nangong Jing's appreciation for the cold moon was beyond words.

"By the way, Yue'er, I just have something for you." Nangong Jing got up as he spoke, took a stack of papers from the bookshelf and handed it to Han Yue.

"This, this is rattan paper?" Hanyue asked in surprise as she stared at the paper in her hand.

"Exactly." For Han Yue to recognize this thing as rattan paper at a glance, Nangong Jing cast a rather appreciative look.

According to legend, this rattan paper is made of ancient rattan in Yanxi, this paper is thin, light, tough, fine and white, but because of the complicated production process, it was lost after the Western Jin Dynasty. This paper is hard to buy, where did you get it? Hanyue rubbed the paper with her fingertips, and she couldn't put it down.

Han Yue looked happy, as if a child had gotten a beloved toy, Nangong Jing looked at her, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little gentle. "I have a friend who likes to travel the world, and I got this by chance, and I bought it from him when I found out, and I think you'll like it."

"Well, the concubine likes it very much, thank you prince." Hanyue carefully held the rattan paper in his arms, treating it as a treasure.

"Yue'er......" Nangong Jing shouted Hanyue's name, and then stopped talking.

"Huh?" Hanyue raised her eyes to look at Nangong Jing, she was so immersed in joy that she didn't realize that there was anything strange.

"It's okay, I just want to tell you to have a good rest, don't be too tired." Nangong Jing looked at the back of Han Yue's departure, and was silent for a long time.
