The concubines in the palace copied Buddhist scriptures to pass the long winter, and in contrast, the way of pastime of the concubines in the imperial garden was much more lively.

After knowing that Yuan Song had taken a fancy to Miss Sima, Su Youyi and Concubine Chun had a good time, and Concubine Chun was so happy that she often called her cousin into the garden, saying that she was accompanying her to relieve her boredom, but it was actually an opportunity to arrange for her to meet Yuan Song.

Yuan Song naturally understood this meaning, in addition to the court, he ran to the Imperial Garden twice in three days, causing Su Youyi to often complain to Concubine Chun, "It's not a good mother, Yuan Song, this kid now has a favorite girl, and he is more diligent than ever to come to the Imperial Garden." He didn't come to see us so diligently, and the child really grew up. ”

These words made Concubine Chun laugh every time.

Concubine Chun was also very happy when she knew Yuan Song's thoughts, and she specially chose Sima Hu to come to the imperial garden to see her, and Sima Hu was stunned when she heard it.

"Oops!"

He slapped his thigh on the face, with a look of hindsight, "I said that the third prince has always been close to me recently, even the horse." What are you talking about discussing military affairs, how good is it for the third prince to learn from the horse, how did you find me? I'm a civil servant now. ”

He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "It turned out to be for this, why didn't you tell me earlier?" That's a good thing! ”

Concubine Chun couldn't hold back, and rolled her eyes at her father, "Dad, you have wronged the third prince." I can hear the Queen Mother and the Third Prince say, he and the two horses are all kinds of explicit hints to tell you about this, and you have to see the second sister every time you go to our house, you just don't understand! You don't know the third prince, but you should understand it when you look at the blushing face of the second sister! ”

Sima Hu reacted at this time, every time Yuan Song and the others went to the house to see their niece, the niece was indeed always blushing.

He's a little weird, he didn't expect it to be like this.

Concubine Chun was speechless, "Dad, Sister Yan, they often say that I am dull and don't understand anything, but now I finally understand." Why am I sluggish? It's not inherited from you yet! ”

Sima Hu's old face flushed.

Concubine Chun was a little happy, at least she was not as dull as her father, if Yuan Song was pestering her to see the second sister, she would have found out a long time ago, and she didn't need to be reminded by the Queen Mother at all.

Sima Hu turned his head and communicated with his brother who joined the army in Lingnan, and heard that his daughter was favored by the third prince, Sima Lei was very happy.

In the letter, he told Sima Hu in every possible way that he must worry about this matter, and when he was transferred back to the capital from Lingnan, he would definitely thank Sima Hu with a big gift.

Sima Hu scoffed.

There is no need for him to thank him with a big gift, he, as an uncle, should think about his niece.

The third prince is a good character, and now he has become more and more experienced in the court, and his niece is different from his daughter, his daughter is a noisy character, and he also learned a little bit of three-legged cat punches and feet when he was a child.

The niece is different, she is a serious official and a young lady, and her actions are cautious and elegant, no wonder the third prince has taken a fancy to her.

It is precisely because of this that Sima Hu encouraged his niece to go to the Imperial Garden more and more, and mention it when there is nothing to do.

Miss Sima was embarrassed by him, "Uncle, the eldest sister said today that she was going to accompany the Queen Mother to make flower tea, and she didn't have time to see me." ”

"Oh, that's right...... What about the three princes? ”

Miss Sima's face flushed, "The third prince wants to accompany the emperor to meet the courtiers today, and he can't go to the imperial garden......"

Sima Hu smiled awkwardly, "Hehehe, I forgot." ”

"Uncle, this is the third time I've said it......"

Miss Sima looked helpless, her uncle and this big sister are really father and daughter, they couldn't be more similar, they are both such arrogant personalities.

Now everyone in the imperial garden, from the queen mother to the palace, knows about the three princes and her, and out of the reserve of everyone's young lady, she should have avoided suspicion.

Unexpectedly, these two and only two relatives in the capital did not mention the matter of avoiding suspicion at all, but encouraged her to meet with the third prince in various ways, which was called cultivating feelings in the name of beauty.

Miss Sima went to the Imperial Garden a few more times to understand that the Queen Mother encouraged young men and women to remarry after seeing the right eye, but I was afraid that her uncle and eldest sister were also affected by this idea.

At first, she thought this was ridiculous and completely inconsistent with etiquette, but then she gradually got used to it, and realized that the Queen Mother's idea did have its cleverness.

Not to mention, at least she knows more about the third prince, and she doesn't have the kind of apprehension that other women are about to marry.

Because the woman next to her doesn't know whether the husband she wants to marry is handsome or ugly, good or bad, but she knows everything, not only knows this, but also knows many of the other party's thoughts and personalities.

At this moment, Su Youyi's yard was full of people.

"The Queen Mother, hurry up and take off all the golden cinnamon and chrysanthemums in autumn. The Queen Mother said that it was a pity that these fell, so she took them to make flower tea, and we did not move the spring flowers cultivated in the greenhouse next to them. ”

Yan'er and Xia'er are arranged properly, Su Youyi is comfortable to listen to, and Su Youyi has been used to serving the two of them recently, and it is similar to Chunhua and Chunjing.

Today, because of the grand uproar, Chunhua and Chunjing also came back to help, and those concubines were even more chattering.

If they want to talk about how to make flower tea, they don't know it, it's just that Su Youyi is interested, so they just come to have fun.

"I love the scent of osmanthus."

The concubine said: "If you make osmanthus into the tea, it will smell good." By the way, aren't there two pregnant masters in the palace now? If you are pregnant and can't use spices, if you brew it with this tea, the house will be full of osmanthus aroma, and it will definitely be able to cover up the charcoal. ”

As soon as she said this, everyone thought about it, and Concubine Liu said: "Yes, then we can send some to the palace when we are ready, Queen Mother, do you say?" ”

Su Youyi was picking up a branch of osmanthus and sniffing it lightly, and when she heard their words, she couldn't help but smile and said, "The thing hasn't been made yet, so you want to give it away?" In case it doesn't look good for a while, I'll see what you can do to give it away! ”

Saying that, everyone laughed, and Xia'er asked the little palace maid to spread all the dried petals on the grate, "Queen Mother, these petals were dried first, and now the moisture is just right." ”

"Okay, then let's come to the flowers."

Su Youyi said, Yan'er had already held a large vat of tea.

I saw Su Youyi clean her hands with a white porcelain jar, then dry them with a fine silk cloth, and then grab a handful of tea leaves with her hands and spread them evenly on the grate covered with a layer of dried petals.

A layer of green tea leaves is covered with a layer of golden osmanthus flowers, which looks very good.

Su Youyi grabbed a handful of osmanthus petals again, and said to the noble concubine and the others: "Just such a layer of petals and a layer of tea leaves, it is not too much to spread six or seven layers." Let the flowers spit out the fragrance, and then let the tea absorb the fragrance of the flowers. ”
