Chapter 20: Nan Xuanjin

Nan Xuanjin's words made Ji Yueqin unable to refuse, so Ji Yueqin had no choice but to respond to Nan Xuanjin's words.

Nan Xuanjin seemed to be satisfied, so he said to Nan Xuanyu: "What is Brother Prince doing like this? ”

Nan Xuanyu was very dissatisfied with this Nan Xuanjin who intervened to make trouble, and said with displeasure in his voice: "Are you questioning me?" ”

Seeing that Nan Xuanyu seemed to be a little angry, Nan Xuanjin chuckled and said, "Oh, how dare I question our beloved Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" I'm concerned about my brother Prince, is it that Brother Prince just wants to play with Sister Yue and doesn't want to take Xuanjin with him. ”

Nan Xuanjin's tone revealed a hint of pity, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with water vapor, as if as long as Nan Xuanyu rejected him, he would cry.

Nan Xuanyu couldn't do anything about him, so he could only say to him sullenly: "It was my grandmother who asked me to take Sister Yue to walk around the palace." ”

After Nan Xuanyu finished speaking, Nan Xuanjin became even more curious about Ji Yueqin's identity, "Oh? I don't know which young lady Sister Yue is, and she can still be accompanied by the prince's brother? ”

Ji Yueqin didn't know how to answer, Nan Xuanyu saw Ji Yueqin's embarrassed appearance and said to Nan Xuanjin: "You ask Sister Yue what kind of system she has become." Sister Yue now lives in the west hall of Qianxi Palace. ”

Nan Xuanyu's words illustrate the extraordinary identity of Ji Yueqin, indeed, an ordinary prince and nobleman may not be able to live in the Qianxi Palace.

Seeing this, Nan Xuanjin wanted to ask something more, but was stopped by Nan Xuanyu's eyes, but the curiosity in his heart became a little heavier.

Seeing this, Ji Yueqin pointed to a garden in the distance, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

Nan Xuanyu and Nan Xuanjin also knew that Ji Yueqin was relieving them, so they didn't mention Ji Yueqin's identity anymore, so they walked towards the garden together.

Before they got closer, they smelled the fragrance of osmanthus in the garden, and the air was full of the sweet fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which made them intoxicated by the fragrance.

The closer you get to it, the more intense the aroma becomes, and the wonderful sweet smell envelops the whole garden, making passers-by feel refreshed.

When I got closer, I saw a plaque on the garden with three gilded characters on the garden. Ji Yue was surprised, no wonder there was a strong fragrance of flowers, and the three of them stepped into the hundred gardens.

As soon as you step into the garden gate, you can see two neat rows of laurel trees on both sides of the road, and the jagged golden flowers on the trees hang in large clusters on the left and right, which makes people feel cute when they see it.

Ji Yueqin couldn't help but think of the osmanthus cake her mother had made for her, but unfortunately her mother was no longer there, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

But Ji Yueqin wanted to eat osmanthus cake a little, Xu missed her mother, so she asked Nan Xuanyu: "Brother Yu, can I take some osmanthus with me?" ”

Nan Xuanyu was a little puzzled but agreed, thinking that maybe it was to make sachets. So Nan Xuanyu called two little eunuchs to pick a basket of osmanthus flowers for Ji Yueqin.

"What does Sister Yue want Osmanthus to do?" Nan Xuanjin's peach blossom eyes flickered and looked at Ji Yueqin.

"Well...... Secrecy! Ji Yueqin grimaced at Nan Xuanjin and stuck out her tongue.

Nan Xuanyu couldn't help but smile when he saw Ji Yueqin being so eccentric.

And Nan Xuanjin has a black face, this is really not a master to mess with.

They enjoyed the flowers in the hundred gardens, there are still a lot of beautiful flowers in the early autumn, only to see the chrysanthemums of various varieties in the hundred gardens competing for beauty, blooming so lively!

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the fiery clouds on the horizon were like the tail of a flaming phoenix, and the whole sky was dyed with a beautiful orange red.

Ji Yueqin and the three of them also had a good time, and Nan Xuanjin saw that Nan Xuanyu was going to send Ji Yueqin back, so he followed with a dead face.

Along the way, it was the sound of their cheers and slapsticks, which added a little warmth to the palace that had always been quiet and serious.

The queen learned that the prince reported to the emperor today to accompany the queen mother, but her subordinates saw the prince enjoying the flowers in the hundred gardens with Ji Yueqin and Nan Xuanjin, and he was angry at the palace people.

In the past, it was Duan Rou who used foxy means to seduce Nan Ruiyuan and provoke the Seventh Prince of Daliang, but now that her daughter has returned to Dayu and seduced her son like her, how can she not be angry!

.......

Ji Yueqin and his entourage returned to the Qianxi Palace and quietly asked the Queen Mother for something, and the Queen Mother also agreed with a smile, and she slipped away like a wind.

Nan Xuanyu and Nan Xuanjin also wanted to follow Ji Yueqin to see what she was going to do, but because the Queen Mother was here, the two of them waited with wide eyes.

The Queen Mother looked at these two grandsons, and she also pursed her lips and smiled, this Qianxi Palace has not been so lively for a long time.

Here, Ji Yueqin took the embroidered bamboo and ran to the small kitchen in the Qianxi Palace with the osmanthus flowers that had just been picked from the hundred gardens. I saw the embroidered bamboo washing the golden flowers one by one, and here Ji Yueqin took the glutinous rice flour and mixed the osmanthus with the glutinous rice flour.

As soon as the mixture was done, he instructed the embroidered bamboo to bring bamboo branch dew to stir. This bamboo branch dew is collected from the dew condensed on the bamboo leaves in the early morning, and there may not be many other places, but there are still some in the Qianxi Palace.

Because the Queen Mother likes the tea made with bamboo branch dew very much, Ji Yueqin learned about it at lunch, so she used this bamboo branch dew when making osmanthus cake.

Then Ji Yueqin asked Xiuzhu to take the mugwort leaves out, packed the stirred osmanthus cake raw materials, and put them in the steaming drawer. After doing this, Ji Yueqin returned to the west hall, freshened up quickly, and then went to the main hall to have dinner with the queen mother.

This meal is still satisfactory for Ji Yueqin and the Queen Mother, but Nan Xuanjin and Nan Xuanyu are not easy to say.

The palace people put the food away, and Ji Yueqin said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "Queen Mother, Yueqin has prepared a surprise for you." ”

The Queen Mother was also interested when she heard this, "Oh? What did Yueqin prepare for the mourning family? ”

Nan Xuanyu and Nan Xuanjin looked at each other, it turned out that Ji Yueqin was preparing a surprise just now.

Nan Xuanyu and Ji Yueqin also got acquainted after a day of getting along, so they also asked curiously: "What did Sister Yue prepare for her grandmother, does Brother Yu have a share?" ”

Although Nan Xuanjin didn't speak, the peach blossom eyes also looked at Ji Yueqin with some expectation, as if they were the same as what Nan Xuanyu wanted to ask.

Ji Yueqin pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Although it is a surprise for the Queen Mother, Yueqin has prepared a lot, and His Royal Highness also has a share." ”

After finishing speaking, he said to Xiuzhu: "Aunt Xiuzhu, bring things up." ”

Xiuzhu answered, and presented the food box in his hand. After presenting it, the embroidered bamboo opened the food box, and suddenly a refreshing fragrance of osmanthus and the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves came to the nose, which made people salivate.

There is a glass-like osmanthus cake in the food box, and the crystal clear pastry is inlaid with small and delicate osmanthus flowers, which is delicate and lovely and makes people want to eat it immediately.

The Queen Mother picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, took a bite gently, and felt the fragrance of osmanthus in her mouth permeating her body, and at the same time, the fragrance of bamboo leaves also rushed to the tip of her nose, not only the fragrance of bamboo leaves but also the unique smell of mugwort leaves.

The Queen Mother's appetite was not very good, but this osmanthus cake made the Queen Mother eat four pieces in a row, and she didn't stop until she couldn't eat it anymore.

Here, Nan Xuanjin and Nan Xuanyu were also full of praise for the osmanthus cake made by Ji Yueqin, and the two of them ate the remaining osmanthus cake in the food box, so that the two of them felt uncomfortable.

The Queen Mother was even more satisfied with Ji Yueqin, and couldn't help but take Ji Yueqin's hand and said: "Yueqin is not only knowledgeable and courteous, but also so virtuous, and the man who marries Yueqin in the future will be blessed." ”

After that, the Queen Mother glanced at Nan Xuanyu lightly, Nan Xuanyu also knew a little bit about the relationship between men and women in her teens, and she couldn't help but show a little blush on her face.

Here, Ji Yueqin listened to the Queen Mother's words, and hung her head shyly: "Yueqin is kind enough to think about the Queen Mother, but now the Queen Mother is here to make fun of Yueqin." ”

The Queen Mother listened to Ji Yueqin's words and laughed.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was happy, everyone laughed, and Ji Yueqin said: "As long as the Queen Mother likes it, Yueqin can do it for the Queen Mother every day." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she laughed even more happily, touched Ji Yueqin's head and said, "It's still Yueqin who feels sorry for her family." ”

Here, Nan Xuanjin and Nan Xuanyu also jokingly said to the Queen Mother: "Then the grandson is going to bother the grandmother more." ”

The Queen Mother looked at her two grandchildren and scolded with a smile: "You two gluttonous worms." Do you mean that the Imperial Dining Room is not delicious? ”

Nan Xuanjin grinned, then approached the Queen Mother and pinched her shoulders for the Queen Mother: "Oh, where is Grandmother talking about, isn't this the Imperial Dining Room tired of eating." ”

Nan Xuanyu wasn't tired of eating the imperial dining room, he just wanted to be closer to Ji Yueqin, but he couldn't say it but echoed Nan Xuanjin's words.

Qianxi Palace was very lively this night, but the Qingxin Palace was very different from the Qianxi Palace. Nan Ruiyuan received the osmanthus cake made by Ji Yueqin himself, and after eating a piece, he sat on the dragon chair in a daze, looking depressed and didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, Ji Yueqin's purpose in making osmanthus cake is not entirely just to please the Queen Mother, she inadvertently learned from the mouth of the palace people that the Queen Mother has lost her appetite recently, so she asked Xiuzhu about the Queen Mother's habits and preferences, and made an osmanthus cake for the Queen Mother.

On the other hand, the osmanthus cake was taught to her by her mother, and if she wanted to gain a firm foothold in this deep palace, she only relied on Nan Ruiyuan, who sent someone to save her, and the queen mother, who cared for her. Only by winning their favor can you stabilize your position.

She didn't know what kind of emotion Nan Ruiyuan had for her mother in her heart, but with that jade pendant, she could know that the feeling must be very profound, so it was better to send a copy of the osmanthus cake made with her mother's craftsmanship, and see how the emperor of Dayu reacted.

Ji Yueqin didn't want to calculate the people who were good to her, but she understood that if she didn't do what she liked, I was afraid it would be difficult to fundamentally stabilize her position in Dayu. If she wants revenge, she can't be soft-hearted in her personal affairs, but she will never attack them!
