Chapter 471: The Taste of Home

In her previous life, Hua Qingyan had been to the Forbidden City of the Celestial Empire and seen the place that carried the imperial power and beliefs of a nation for thousands of years. The majestic atmosphere hides exquisite and beautiful details, and every place and frame is a scenery that is extremely beautiful. At the beginning, Hua Qingyan was thinking, the culture and creativity of the Great Celestial Empire for thousands of years were simply amazing.

But looking at the palace in front of her, Hua Qingyan felt that the creativity of the people in this life was not bad at all!

Although it is not a familiar palace, Hua Qingyan can always find some shadows from it that she has seen in her previous life. The bright yellow tones, the gold and jade staircase decorations, and the five-clawed golden dragon hovering everywhere. Hua Qingyan put down the curtain and sighed that no matter which dynasty or time and space it is, the imperial power will never be separated from the dragon.

Half an hour later, the carriage finally stopped, and Hua Qingyan heard someone outside the carriage talking to Yu Jiamin. Listening to the man's shrill voice, Hua Qingyan could guess that it was a father-in-law.

"County Lord, we're here." Yu Jiamin knocked on the wall of the car.

Hua Qingyan lifted the curtain and stood on the wheel, and the guards and palace maids and eunuchs standing on the side instantly knelt on the ground: "Welcome to the county lord." ”

Hua Qingyan was obviously frightened by such a big battle, and was stunned and motionless on the wheel. In the end, it was Aunt Ping who came over from the palace gate and rescued Hua Qingyan: "Okay, okay, you scared the county lord." If the prince knows, you won't be able to eat and walk away. ”

The palace maids were smiling, and they didn't need Hua Qingyan to shout, so they stood up very colorfully, and they all gathered around the carriage to look at Hua Qingyan chattering.

"County Lord, you are so good-looking! What a match for our prince! ”

"County Lord, come down, we made breakfast, all according to the recipe you gave the county lord, and the county lord also tasted our craftsmanship."

"County Lord, why didn't you come with the prince, our prince likes the county lord, every time he comes here, he talks about the county lord, it's really heartfelt, let us be envious!"

A little palace maid caught a glimpse of the two sleeping children in the carriage, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and said in surprise: "Ah, what a cute doll, is it the child of the county lord and the prince?" It's so cute! ”

"Hold it out, bring it out, let us also see the little prince and the little county lord!"

……

Hua Qingyan didn't expect that the palace maids in the Empress Dowager's palace were such a painting style, which was completely different from what she imagined! After those little palace maids carefully helped Hua Qingyan down, they rushed to hug the children, and when they saw that the children were still asleep, they subconsciously lowered their voices.

"Don't worry, although these girls are noisy, they are careful and will not hurt the children." Pinggu said with a smile.

"I just didn't expect them to be so lively." Hua Qingyan said.

"They are all good children, and they are in this dull deep palace, so the mother did not restrain them, so she developed such a character." Pinggu said helplessly, and led Hua Qingyan inside, "Their lively temperament also adds a little joy to this palace, and also makes Niangniang feel more comfortable." ”

Hua Qingyan looked back at the palace maids who were carefully following behind them with their children in their arms, and smiled: "It's good." ”

Aunt Ping led Hua Qingyan to sit down in the inner hall, and arranged the two children in the side hall. As soon as Hua Qingyan sat down, a little palace maid with a round face served tea to Hua Qingyan, and secretly looked at Hua Qingyan, bumped into Hua Qingyan's gaze, and hurriedly lowered her head, like a frightened rabbit.

"County Lord, please use tea."

Hua Qingyan held the crystal cup and looked at the floating petals inside: "It's flower tea." ”

"Yes, county lord, it was brought by the prince." The little palace maid paused and hurriedly said, "Of course, this is done by the county lord, and the county lord's craftsmanship is really good." ”

Hearing such a sincere compliment, the smile in Hua Qingyan's eyes deepened. She took a sip and said with a smile, "I think you are very good at making tea." ”

The little palace maid instantly became happy, "The prince also said so!" The Empress Dowager and the prince both love to drink the tea I make, and it's so happy to make the county lord like the slave maid too! County Lord, after you and the prince get married, can the slave go to the palace to take care of you and the prince, you can do anything, as long as you can make tea for you and the prince! ”

Hua Qingyan blinked, she didn't expect this girl to make such a request, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. After all, this girl is a person in the palace of the Empress Dowager, where is she in charge.

Aunt Ping walked out of the Empress Dowager's dormitory and scolded with a smile: "Dead girl, is it possible that the mother is not good to you, and you want to leave this Qingxuan Palace so badly?" ”

The little palace maid shook her head again and again: "No, no, the mother is also very good to the slave maid, and the slave is also very reluctant to the maid and Pinggu, but the taste of the prince is not something that anyone can master, the prince likes the slave's tea, and the slave has the obligation to take better care of the prince and the county lord!" ”

Aunt Ping glared at her angrily, reached out and poked her forehead, "It's just that you are crooked!" As he spoke, he said to Hua Qingyan, "The county lord waits, the mother is washing, the imperial dining room has prepared breakfast, and the county lord will accompany the mother to eat some." ”

Hua Qingyan touched her stomach and said with a smile: "It's okay, it just so happens that I'm hungry." ”

Before the cup of tea was finished, the Empress Dowager had already come out, and it happened that the two children in the side hall also woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar environment, Rao was a little stunned when he was calm and carefree, and the Xi'er next to him cried out even more.

The palace maid guarding the door of the side store hurriedly ran in to comfort her, but Xiao Xi'er still cried non-stop. When Hua Qingyan heard the movement and went in to take a look, Wuwu was holding Xi'er tightly in her arms and curling up in the corner of the bed, staring at the helpless palace maids with vigilant eyes.

Xi'er cried very sadly, and her little eyes were going to be swollen from crying for a while. Hua Qingyan hurriedly walked over, "Xi'er don't cry, my aunt is here." ”

"Auntie!" Carefree's eyes lit up, as if he was relieved.

"Mother!" Xiao Xi'er was so excited that it was time to be called, and hurriedly dragged Wu Wu into Hua Qingyan's arms, and hugged her neck tightly, "Mother, mother, mother, Xi'er is afraid!" Woo, Xi'er thought that her mother didn't want Xi'er and her brother! Whining! ”

The little girl hadn't cried like this for a long time, Hua Qingyan's heart was instantly painful, and she hurriedly hugged the two children and patted them on the back and comforted: "Obedient, don't cry, how can my aunt not want you, my aunt is here, forever, even if I don't want my uncle in this life, I won't want you, obediently, don't cry." Xi'er is crying, my aunt is distressed! ”

Xiao Xi'er cried for a moment, and muttered: "I can't do without my uncle, my aunt doesn't want my uncle, my uncle will be sad, and my aunt will be sad." ”

Hua Qingyan was made to smile bitterly by Xi'er's words, this girl was sad like this, and she didn't forget to fight for Yun Shumo, and she didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Yun Shumo poured into the little girl.

"Okay, good, my aunt won't want my uncle, my uncle is carefree, I want it!"

Hearing Hua Qingyan say this, Xiao Xi'er's mood finally stabilized. She leaned on Hua Qingyan's shoulder, looked around, and looked at so many beautiful big sisters around her, and couldn't help asking, "Auntie, where are we?" ”

Hua Qingyan put the two children on the bed and finished it, and took the handkerchief handed by the palace maid to wipe Xiao Xi'er's face clean, and said while helping the two children tidy up their clothes: "This is the palace, where my aunt lives." ”

"Auntie?" Xiao Xi'er tilted her head, obviously puzzled.

looked at the door of the side hall without worry, and gently hooked the corners of his lips: "Auntie." ”

Hua Qingyan looked back, isn't it the Queen Mother? The Empress Dowager obviously also heard Xi'er's cry, walked over and touched Xiao Xi'er's face and said, "Why are you crying?" Don't you like your aunt here? ”

"Not really!" Xiao Xi'er hurriedly said, her little head shook like a rattle, "Xi'er likes her aunt, and my brother likes it too!" ”

"Really?" The Empress Dowager glanced at the carefree.

Worry-free nodded: "Well, I like my aunt." ”

The words of the two little babies instantly made the Queen Mother laugh, and the Queen Mother leaned up and kissed the tender little faces of the two children.

Hua Qingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she looked at the rejuvenated little Xi'er, and a hearty laugh sounded in the side hall for a while, accompanied by laughter, as if this dull deep palace had also come to life.

Breakfast had been set up in the main hall, and Hua Qingyan and the Empress Dowager sandwiched the two children in the middle, picking out the dishes that the children liked to eat and sandwiching some for them.

Hua Qingyan had to admit that the skills of the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room were much better than her own, and these breakfasts on the table were all tricks that Hua Qingyan had never seen, and they were specially made for these nobles in the palace. In her previous life, although Hua Qingyan's grandparents were also descendants of the imperial chef, after so many years, many recipes were still lost, so some court cauliflower Hua Qingyan really hadn't seen it.

There were more than 20 dishes on the table, and the Empress Dowager put down her chopsticks after eating some of them, "Since I returned to the palace, I have felt that this dish is not right, and I have been thinking about your craftsmanship in my heart." ”

Hua Qingyan couldn't cry or laugh: "My craftsmanship is not as good as the chef of this imperial dining room." If you really want to compare, it means that the dish is too delicate, not like a dish but like a work of art. Hua Qingyan sandwiched a yam cake, this yam cake was carved into the shape of magnolia flowers, each one is lifelike, making people reluctant to put their mouths, "My dish, I'm afraid it makes my aunt feel that it has the taste of home." ”

The Empress Dowager was stunned, and then turned the table and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's the taste of home!" The dishes in this palace are all the same, looking delicate but the taste is too exquisite, but it loses its feeling. ”

The Empress Dowager touched Xi'er's head: "I, I've been in this deep palace for so many years, and what I want to taste is the taste of home." ”
