"Is the soup okay?"

"It's delicious," Liu Yan couldn't drink the bowl of greasy meat soup at this time, but this bowl of green vegetable soup didn't even put a little oil, and it tasted exceptionally refreshing, and the sour taste was very appetizing: "Give me another bowl." ”

Empress Cao smiled and said, "Don't drink too much, or your stomach will fill up with soup." He sandwiched another piece of fish meat for her, and carefully removed all the thorns before putting it into Liu Yan's bowl.

Others eat fish and love to eat fish belly, and the meat is tender and has few spines. Liu Yan likes to eat fish back meat, and there are more spines. However, Liu Yan doesn't like to eat fish tails, the meat is less and the thorns are more, even if she is roasted with sauce, she feels that the fishy smell is heavy.

Yingluo stood aside to serve the meal, but in fact, she couldn't intervene at all, Queen Cao loved her daughter and couldn't wait to feed her one bite at a time.

The princess has always been quite worry-free, but there was such an accident yesterday.

It's not a new thing for the prince to get drunk, the second prince has been drunk since he got married, and the third prince is not lustful, but he is also a good drinker, and he always causes trouble if he drinks too much.

But is the princess drunk...... It's the first time I've seen you in years.

But the princess is not annoying when she is drunk, Yingluo went to visit with Queen Cao last night, the princess slept deeply, her face was flushed, not at all as annoying as a drunk person, but it reminded Yingluo that the princess had just entered the palace.

At that time, the princess lived in the Yilan Hall in winter, Yingluo served her for a long time, and there was no child who did not lie in bed in winter, and the princess was too lazy to get up in bed at that time.

Later, the princess grew up and lived in Dongyuan, not staying in Yilan Palace, and Yingluo really missed the time when the princess was a child.

Looking at the appearance of the mother, I probably thought of that time.

Especially at the moment, the princess is about to marry, and the queen must be particularly reluctant.

When the princess was a child, she was separated from her mother for several years, and when she arrived in the palace, she didn't live in a courtyard like ordinary people, and she met and talked from time to time - the distance from Dongyuan to Yilan Hall was not far or close.

"Try this again, this ball is not bad."

Liu Yan touched his stomach: "It's full." ”

"Then take another sip of soup."

When people are full, they will be more comfortable, Queen Cao asked her to rest for a while, Liu Yan volunteered: "I'll read to the queen mother." ”

Empress Cao smiled and nodded.

In fact, she is happy to stay with her daughter and do everything.

Liu Yan casually took a book out and read it. She usually doesn't like to study, but when Mr. Cheng asked them to study, Liu Yan was always reluctant to read aloud, and she always felt weird and stupid.

But reading idle books is different, Liu Yan read in a low voice, very devoted, after reading two pages, Liu Yan stopped.

She noticed that Empress Cao didn't seem to be listening to the book and kept staring at her.

Liu Yan stretched out his hand and touched his face: "Queen Mother, what do you see?" ”

Empress Cao felt a lot of emotion in her heart, but in the end she only said: "Why did you get together with Lu Yi's child yesterday?" I remember you went to see the garden that your eldest sister gave you. ”

"It just happened by chance." Liu Yan has not bothered to reminisce about yesterday's garden since he woke up: "Queen Mother, that garden is so good, I like it very much, some of the trees there are hundreds of years old, and there are few traces of artificial axes and chisels." ”

"Really?"

"Well, there's no rockery there." Liu Yan emphasized: "Actually, I don't like rockeries at all. Rockeries, to put it mildly, are still fake, get so many stones from a distance to pile them together, it is not good-looking, but also costs people and money. ”

Empress Cao said: "Now that the garden is being built in Beijing, I heard that the rockery must be piled up, and it is more interesting and chic to see whose stone is more interesting. ”

Yingluo helped on the side: "Yes, the slave maid heard that the price of the stone has made them speculate, and the good stone is a hundred taels of silver a piece is not too little, and it is enough to transport it all the way to the capital, so heavy things are also laborious." ”

"There is a very small tea pavilion in the garden, close to the water's edge, the trees around the pavilion grow crookedly, as if they have not been pruned for many years, and there is snow on it, then I think it is like seeing it in a painting, grass reeds, ancient trees, residual snow ......" Liu Yan remembered as he spoke: "It's Zhao Lei's painting, he used to have a similar painting." ”

"That's good. In the future, if you like, you can go to a small house to relax. ”

"Lu Yi just came back from Dingbei City, and he also gave me a piece of wooden paperweight, I just heard him say that there are people fighting in Dingbei City......

Curious, he got himself drunk.

"I really just drank two sips, rice wine, and two sips of fruit wine." Liu Yan said with annoyance: "I don't think I'm the kind of person who pours alcohol when he gets drunk, our family has a lot of alcohol, and I never thought that two sips of wine could get drunk." ”

"People are different." Queen Cao didn't blame her daughter for being drunk, she was worried before, but then she was relieved after hearing the reason from the imperial doctor: "Be careful next time, don't mix different wine with it." ”

"Well," Liu Yan nodded vigorously: "It's too embarrassing, I won't drink it again in the future." ”

Empress Cao was a little tempting: "You and Lu Yi are quite reasonable?" ”

"yes." Liu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with this question, and said quite frankly: "He is well-informed, it seems that there is no place he has not been, and there is no one he does not know." It's the first time I've heard of such a thing as a wine fight, and I've heard of people fighting poetry, tea, cocks, dogs, and insects...... It was the first time that the wine had been fighting. When I listened to him, it was as if I had also gone to Dingbei. I usually stay in the palace, and I feel that this piece of heaven is square, only the size of a palm, but in fact, this world is very big, and there are a lot of people, and these people live a different life......" She felt that she didn't say anything in her heart, but Queen Cao understood what she meant.

Empress Cao never felt that a woman should be locked up in the backyard, and she stayed at home every day, only going around on this acre and three points of land.

But the world is like this, even if it is a queen and a princess, there are many restraints on their bodies. At Liu Yan's age, like tender flowers and bones on the branches, the elephant's wings have only been pierced with hard hairs, and the beak has not faded to the tender yellow milk swallow, he must yearn for a free and unrestrained life, want to see a broader world, and want to go to more places.

When Liu Yan left, Empress Cao sat there alone for a long time without speaking.

Yingluo came over with tea: "Niangniang, Pan Cairen has assigned two people to go over, and it won't take long to persuade them to learn the palace rules." ”

Empress Cao only replied casually, and she didn't care about Pan Cairen's affairs at all. Her mind is so straightforward that anyone can see it.

"Niangniang is thinking about the princess?"
