Liu Yan told the emperor in advance, of course, he would pick up the day that was not the big court, and invite his father and queen mother to go to her garden for a stroll and play for a long time.

Although the garden was given to her by the eldest sister, it was her garden that was given to her, and she regarded herself as a hospitable host, so as to entertain guests.

Empress Cao hasn't left the palace for a long time to relax.

The last spring ploughing can't be counted, it's not called distraction, it's a burden. There are countless pairs of eyes watching every move, what to do first and then what to do, how many steps to walk, what to say, all arranged in advance by the Ministry of Rites, Empress Cao has also practiced in the palace several times, and it is necessary to ensure that there is no mistake and do not forget the words when the time comes.

If you really want to go out of the palace to relax, it hasn't been a long time.

Queen Cao was looking forward to going out this time, and she was picky about her current clothes.

This one is beautiful but cumbersome, and it is inconvenient to walk, sit and lie down.

It was light and comfortable, but she felt old-fashioned after putting it on.

Two days ago, the people of the Needlework Bureau presented a new skirt, very thin gauze, on which were embroidered with camellia flowers with moon-white silk thread. This skirt is beautiful, but Queen Cao thinks that the yarn is too light, there must be a lot of flowers and trees in the garden, and such a thin material is easy to break, which is a pity.

was so picky and picky, and it was not easy to settle down on two clothes.

The emperor doesn't have any troubles in this regard, just wear regular clothes.

On the day she was going out, Liu Yan insisted on going out of the palace to the garden to prepare first, and she also said: "I am the master, so I naturally have to greet the guests at the door." ”

Empress Cao smiled and said, "Okay, then you can go first—as long as you can get up." ”

I don't know if this last sentence made Liu Yan feel pressure, she didn't know why she couldn't sleep this night when she went to bed, she worked hard over and over again, and she always felt that it didn't take long for her eyes to close, and the sky was bright.

Liu Yan hurriedly got up to wash, and dressed up for going out under the service of the palace people, and it was not dawn when she got in the car and left the palace gate.

Gui Yuan saw that she was about to doze off when she sat in the car, and she was tired and panicked.

"Princess, it will take some time for the emperor and his mother to come over, so the princess is crooked to raise her spirits."

Liu Yan yawned and rejected this very tempting suggestion: "Forget it, when you come back, your hair will be messed up and you have to comb it again." ”

And Liu Yan has a feeling that if she really closes her eyes, it will not be a matter of raising her mind for a while, and it is estimated that she will not be able to wake up for one or two hours.

So how can it work? She's in for a treat today.

"Make me a pot of strong tea." Liu Yan yawned again, and tears came out of his eyes: "Everything is arranged, right?" ”

Gui Yuan hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, princess, everything is arranged properly." ”

Liu Yan also spent a lot of effort in order to organize this treat, how to arrange the garden, where to rest, where to watch the scenery, what to do in the morning, where to eat at noon, how to spend time in the second half of the night, until she returned to the palace, the arrangements were full, and even the menu for lunch at noon, she changed it back and forth several times. At first, I wanted my father and queen mother to taste something new and get some dishes and snacks that were not available in the palace - but it was too difficult.

What is not in the palace? And the father and queen mother went to so many places in the early years, and they don't know where to eat fresh food?

The people in the dining room also persuaded her to dismiss her mind.

However, the people in the dining room were worried that if they offered some strange things to their father and queen who had never eaten before, they would not be able to afford to make the masters eat problems.

Then make something that the queen mother and father like to eat?

But these things can usually be eaten in the palace, which does not show the sincerity of her as a guest.

In short, Liu Yan took a lot of effort to set the menu, and asked the people around her to keep it secret, and not to reveal her garden plan and menu arrangement first.

Longan and the others should be serious, but in fact, they couldn't help laughing until their stomachs hurt.

The princess is not married yet, every move is under the nose of the emperor and queen, she sent people, what these people are going to do, how long they have been doing, the queen must be clear. Arrange this lunch, even if the menu can be kept secret, but the ingredients still have to be in the palace, the ingredients are known, and it is not difficult to guess what dishes to be made.

But seeing that the princess was so interested, everyone accompanied her and coaxed her to be happy, and no one said anything.

After drinking the strong tea, Liu Yan's spirit was much better than just now, after she arrived at the garden, of course, she couldn't take a closer look at all the places, but today she arranged the Kyaukyue Platform to enjoy the scenery, the tanka pavilion to eat, and the Jian She who planned to let her father and mother rest and rest, she took a look.

It's really neatly packed.

Outside, the bean soup quickly came in and replied: "Princess, the guest is here." ”

"Huh?" Liu Yan stood up, tidied up his clothes and went out to greet him: "Father, the emperor, they arrived really early." ”

Doutang hurriedly said clearly: "It's not the emperor and Niangniang who have arrived, it's Princess Fuyu and Meng Juma who are here." ”

"Big sister is here?"

Princess Fuyu obviously said that she was going to leave Beijing in the next two days, even if she hadn't left yet, she should be very busy, and when she asked her a few days ago, she said she couldn't come.

It's good to have guests, but ...... Her previous arrangements seemed to be about to be disrupted.

First of all, the place for lunch had to be changed, and the original tanka pavilion was very small, and it couldn't sit for so many people.

By the way, the menu has to be changed, right?

Liu Yan suddenly panicked.

But this little panic, when she saw Hui'er, she forgot all about it.

I haven't seen her for a while, Hui'er has grown up a lot, her little face is round and bulging, her skin is white and tender, she is wearing a bright red dress today, and there is a red dot in the center of her eyebrows, which looks really the same as the fat doll on the New Year's painting.

Liu Yan was reluctant to let go as soon as she hugged her, and Hui'er, the little girl, didn't recognize her life, she laughed when Liu Yan hugged her, and used her fat face to stick to Liu Yan's face, and the saliva rubbed on Liu Yan's face.

"Big sister, your daughter will send me, and I will take it back to the palace at night."

Princess Fuyu smiled and said, "Cheng, if you like it, you can take it away, I don't mind." ”

Meng Juma coughed on the side: "She is not good-tempered at night." ”

Although she knew that her wife and the fourth princess were joking, the lovely girl-hearted Meng Juma was afraid that they would take it seriously, so she hurriedly spoke out to stop her. Princess Fuyu glanced at Liu Yan, did you see it? This is really a living twenty-four filial father.

If someone had told Liu Yan before that Meng Juma was such a doting father who could spoil his children, she would not believe it, but now she doesn't doubt it at all.

Whatever the daughter says is right, right, right, what the daughter does is good, fortunately, the eldest sister is still stable, otherwise Hui'er will be arrogant in the future.
