"......" This time, Xiao Ruyue couldn't cry or laugh.

I have to admit that Yu Wenhe has the potential to be a faint king.

It's a pity that he hasn't been able to successfully advance to the rank of faint monarch until now.

It is probably because the ancestors of Great Xia have spirits, and they can't tolerate a faint monarch who will bring disaster to the country and the people at this time. So she pulled him in the dark and saved him from stumbling.

After Yu Wenhe left, Xiao Ruyue called Yinlin and Green Yi in, washed his face, and brought his things to Luhua Palace.

Recently, a Tatar female doctor has come to the palace, and the rumors have spread very well, so it is better to walk around and talk more with the Queen Mother.

Regarding Ye Haitang's matter before, although Xiao Ruyue and Yu Wenhe had mentioned it to the Empress Dowager, for the sake of the stability of the court, they naturally could not refuse the Tatar doctors, but they were worried that the Empress Dowager would be upset because of this. Moreover, it didn't take long for Feng Yuting to enter the palace, so rumors spread in the harem, and the means were slightly visible.

When Xiao Ruyue arrived at the Luhua Palace, the Empress Dowager was drying the petals of lotus flowers, not letting the palace maids and grandmothers handle it, and she was very busy.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is here." Seeing Xiao Ruyue coming in with Yinlin and Green, Mama Xu, who was waiting beside the Empress Dowager, reminded in a low voice.

Yinlin and Greenyi each carried a food box in their hands.

The busy Empress Dowager turned her head when she heard this, stood up straight with Mama Xu's hand and turned around slowly, and then put down her wide sleeves.

In order to be busy and convenient, the Empress Dowager rolled up her sleeves.

"The granddaughter-in-law greets the imperial grandmother." Xiao Ruyue stepped forward and respectfully saluted the Empress Dowager.

"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite." The Empress Dowager said kindly, pointed to the two Taishi chairs under the shade of the trees not far away, and motioned for Xiao Ruyue to sit down with her, "It's really hard for the queen to take care of the harem and handle the affairs of the backyard for the emperor." ”

Xiao Ruyue bowed lightly, "The granddaughter-in-law is not hard, this is what the granddaughter-in-law should do." She said, took the food box from the green clothes and took it to the Queen Mother, opened it, and there were three colors and three kinds of snacks inside.

When I opened the food box, there was a faint fragrance of flowers wafting out, and the Empress Dowager was surprised, "What kind of dim sum is this?" How can there be a fragrance of lotus flowers? ”

She was already drying lotus flowers, so she naturally knew the smell.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but pick up a piece and took a small bite first, and found that the taste was very sweet, soft and chewy, and it was not difficult for an old man like her to eat it.

Xiao Ruyue glanced at the green clothes, and replied with a smile: "The lotus fragrance is a red snack, called lotus cake." They are all skillful hands of green clothes, and the skin made of lotus juice after grinding is picked, which retains the fragrance of lotus flowers. The remaining two items are walnut cake and lotus heart cake. ”

"Walnut crisp, lotus heart cake?" The Empress Dowager's eyes widened, as if her eyes were greatly opened, "Why is this walnut cake different from what the mourning family has seen in the past?" And this lotus heart cake, look at this color, isn't it made of lotus heart? Is it bitter? ”

"It's a little bitter, but the medicine is bitter." Xiao Ruyue Yingying said with a smile, "Recently, the summer is scorching, and it is easier to get caught in the heat, this lotus heart cake is green clothes to pick lotus seeds, and then use it to mix noodles after boiling lotus seed water, the taste is slightly bitter, but it has the effect of cooling off the heat and reducing the heat." Similarly, there is lotus leaf tea. ”

Xiao Ruyue said, turning around and motioning for Yinlin to bring the things over.

Yinlin handed over the food box in his hand, opened it and saw that it was a white porcelain three-color glazed soup cup, and the lid was tightly closed.

Xiao Ruyue picked up the lid, a fragrance wafted out, and the Empress Dowager had a surprised expression, "This is lotus leaf boiled water?" ”

"Exactly." Xiao Ruyue nodded, took out a small bowl and poured a bowl for the Empress Dowager, "These are the recipes that the granddaughter-in-law looks at in the medical book, I have tried it, and it is very good to beat the heat, so I thought of sending some to the Empress Dowager, so I asked the green clothes to prepare it." ”

The Empress Dowager took a sip and praised after tasting it: "There is the freshness of lotus leaves, the slight sweetness of tea, and the addition of rock sugar, which is refreshing and delicious." ”

"If the imperial grandmother likes it, it's fine." Xiao Ruyue's smile was still faint.

The Empress Dowager drank the whole bowl in one go, and sighed, "The whole person is refreshed." "I can envy Mama Xu and others.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruyue asked Mama Xu to take down the lotus leaf tea and share it with everyone, and the Queen Mother also praised her for being virtuous. Xiao Ruyue was humble and hurriedly said: "The imperial grandmother doesn't blame her daughter-in-law for making her own opinions. This lotus leaf is not difficult to pick, just go back and let the green clothes make more and send it over. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded and ate the pastries with great interest.

Before, the Empress Dowager ate a piece of lotus cake and drank lotus leaf tea. Lotus leaf tea has a unique fragrance and elegant, and after drinking it, I feel that there is another taste when I eat lotus cake. It does not affect each other's taste at all, which makes the Queen Mother amazed.

Next, I paid for the lotus heart cake and walnut cake, and drank a small half bowl of lotus leaf tea, and then I was willing to stop, "I have eaten so much in one breath today, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to eat later." The Empress Dowager stroked her abdomen and sighed.

Green Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, these snacks are very digestible, and the slave maid in the lotus heart cake also adds hawthorn, I don't know if the Queen Mother has eaten it." ”

"The mourning family also said, it turns out that the taste is hawthorn, you little girl is really skillful. The dim sum is well made, and the mouth is also sweet, and there is a reward. The Empress Dowager stroked her belly, becoming more and more happy, and opened her mouth to reward two pieces of jewelry in green.

Greencoat happily knelt down and thanked her, smiling so hard that her mouth was almost at the back of her head.

Xiao Ruyue shook her head helplessly, Yin Lin didn't know if she could remind this girl out loud: Your words and deeds represent the queen's mother, it's too embarrassing for us to invite Feng Palace.

The pastries were brought to the Queen Mother, and those who couldn't finish eating were rewarded to Mama Xu and others, but Xiao Ruyue didn't move a piece.

Lotus heart and lotus seeds are all cold, and her current situation is not easy to touch, so she took a sip of lotus leaf tea.

The sun was rising higher and higher, and she couldn't sit still under the shade of this tree, Xiao Ruyue got up and went to the lotus petals in the courtyard to dry, and said curiously: "Imperial grandmother, you dry those lotus flowers, I don't know what they do?" ”

"I dried some dried flowers in the spring before, and now I want to dry some lotus flowers, and I can make sachets after drying." The Empress Dowager said, "The mourning family thinks that you have worked hard with the emperor, wearing a sachet on your body, refreshing your mind is also very beneficial, I don't want you to be so delicate and thoughtful, where do you need any sachet made by the mourning family." ”

In the words, there is no blame, it is all the care of the old people for the juniors.

Xiao Ruyue hurriedly said: "The imperial grandmother can't say that, this lotus flower plus the previous dried flowers, I'm afraid it will ruin the imperial grandmother's thoughts." It is better to wait for these flowers to dry, and let the next person send them to the Invite Feng Palace, and the sachet will be made by the granddaughter-in-law. ”

Empress Dowager: "How good is this, you carry the entire harem on your body." ”

"It's okay, Grandmother. Isn't there still Wang Jieyu in the palace helping to deal with affairs, the concubines see that Wang Jieyu is a good seedling, and she handles palace affairs in an orderly and well-founded manner, which is very good. Xiao Ruyue continued, "There are many prescriptions in the medical books, and granddaughters-in-law and daughters-in-law can also add a few herbs to the sachet according to the different physiques of different people, which are used by the monarch and the queen mother, each of which is different." ”

When the Empress Dowager heard this, she had no reason to refuse, and nodded with a smile.

After a while, the sun shone over, and I couldn't sit under the shade of the tree, the Empress Dowager helped Mama Xu to walk into the hall, and Xiao Ruyue naturally helped Yinlin to follow.

"The Tatar female doctor in the palace......" waited until the redundant subordinates were dismissed, and the empress dowager hesitated and asked, "Recently, there have been rumors in the palace, what is going on with that Ye Guifei and the Tatar female doctor?" But what's the trouble? ”

"Grandmother don't worry, the king will take care of everything." Xiao Ruyue showed a comforting smile, she was already good-looking, with bright eyes, this smile was bright and convincing.

"Today, my son, granddaughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law don't want the imperial grandmother to worry, I believe that the king's wisdom and decisiveness will not last long."

"That's good." The Empress Dowager nodded, and glanced at Xiao Ruyue intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was thinking about something.

The hall fell silent again for some reason.

After a while, the Empress Dowager seemed to have made up her mind, looked at Mama Xu behind her, and then her eyes fell on Xiao Ruyue's body, "Empress, there is something in the mourning family that I want to discuss with you." ”

Xiao Ruyue paused when she heard this, and hurriedly got up, "The concubine doesn't dare, if the imperial grandmother has any orders, just say it." ”

"It's not a big deal...... It's just that the emperor is not young, he has no sons and half daughters under his knees, and the harem is empty. When the Empress Dowager said this, she was worried, and even a little lacking in confidence, and she was not too embarrassed to look at Xiao Ruyue's eyes.

Xiao Ruyue was stunned again when she heard this, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was retracted, but she quickly returned to her original state.

It is not surprising that the Empress Dowager raised this matter today.

She should have thought that Yu Wenhe was the king of a country and a son of heaven. At his age, he has no children under his knees, and his grandmother, who is the empress dowager, naturally has to worry about it.

The Empress Dowager is not alone in this matter, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are secretly breaking their hearts for Yu Wenhe having no heir. There is no successor, which is tantamount to instability.

This is also a great time for Yuwen Chenglian to usurp the throne.

Yin Lin whispered in Xiao Ruyue's ear: "Niangniang, yesterday Princess Duanyun and the county lord of Qinghe entered the palace to ask the empress dowager for peace. ”

The corners of Xiao Ruyue's mouth hooked, and she knew it in her heart.

The Empress Dowager felt that Yu Wenhe did not have a son and a half daughter under his knees, so it was better to understand that Yu Wenhe should expand the harem, and someone would help him.

And at the moment, it is inconvenient for Xiao Ruyue to disclose that she is pregnant, so it is naturally difficult to explain it to the Queen Mother in person.
