"Did Concubine Lan go to the Imperial Pharmacy and get incense?" Lin Su lazily leaned on the soft couch, watching Ah Fu, who had been almost seven months on the side, gripped the small thing that he could catch in his hand and smiled happily, while Ah Ling occasionally kicked his brother twice because he was uncomfortable sleeping.

Reaching out and gently squeezing Ah Ling's swaddling clothes, she turned to look at Xia Yan who was standing on the side, "Do you know what incense is and what medicinal herbs are added?" ”

"I've already sent one to Qiu Yan's side." Xia Yan cautiously glanced at Fujiang on the side, and did not say the whole thing, "The slave maid is just waiting for Qiu Yan to give me a letter, and it will be passed over there, master, please rest assured, the slaves and maids know what to do." ”

"If only you knew it in your hearts." Lin Su gently teased Ah Fu with a fluffy gadget, causing him to giggle, "With you doing things by your side, I really saved a lot of heart." When you are old enough, I will naturally give you a thick bag and a good place to go. ”

"Master, slave and slave, slave and maid are willing to be by the master's side." Xia Yan's expression was slightly moved, and then she said in a low voice: "The master's friendship with the slave and the maid is always in mind, and I am willing to accompany the master and serve the master." ”

Lin Su casually handed the gadgets in his hand to Fujiang, got up with Xia Yan's support, poured a cup of herbal tea and took a sip in the past, and then said in a low voice: "The emperor has been busy with government affairs these days, and rarely comes to the harem. ”

Xia Yan answered and retreated, Lin Su sat aside and drank the water in the cup, then looked at Fu Jiang who was serving the two little ones on the soft couch, and said in a low voice: "Okay, they are probably tired of playing, so let them sleep." Come and talk to me. ”

Fu Jiang lowered his head and secretly glanced at Lin Su through his bangs, and put the two little maids side by side, then he lightly came to Lin Su and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, the slave can't speak, I'm afraid that I will say something that shouldn't be said, which will make Niangniang annoyed." ”

Lin Su laughed softly when he heard this, pointed to the small pier on the side and said lightly, "Sit down." ”

Fu Jiang hesitated for a moment, then sat down at Lin Su's feet, bowed his head and said nothing. Lin Su is not surprised, the reason why she has always kept this little girl by her side is that she likes her loyalty to Li Moshan at the beginning, and secondly, she likes her to be interesting and doesn't talk much.

"Speaking of which, you have been with me for almost seven months, before I was pregnant with Ah Ling, and then I was confined, and now I am finally a little better, so I will ask you if you are still willing to stay in my Fuliu Hall to serve."

"Mother...... Niangniang ......" Fujiang immediately stood up when he heard this, knelt down in front of Lin Su with a puff, bowed his head and said in fear: "Is it because the slave maid did something wrong and made the mother displease?" ”

"Don't be so scared, I'm just asking." Lin Su motioned for her to get up and sit down, and waited until Fu Jiang sat down at her feet again, then he whispered, "I just want to ask if you want to stay in the Fuliu Palace, or if you want to go somewhere else." ”

After a slight pause, she put down the cup in her hand and said in a low voice: "I have always admired your loyalty to Concubine Liang, and I still remember the way you broke into my Fuliu Hall alone." It's just that Concubine Liang has been gone for so long, and now I have free hands here, so it's not good to force you to stay in my Fuliu Palace. ”

Lin Su's words are very clear, even if she stays in this Fuliu Palace, she is loyal to herself, if Fujiang has always had her dead master in her heart, then don't stay in this Fuliu Palace.

Fu Jiang was able to follow Li Moshan's side for so long, and he was naturally a person with a clear mind, and when he heard Lin Su say this, he understood what she meant after a little silence.

She bowed her head and said in a low voice: "Since the slave maid stayed in the Fuliu Palace, she is naturally the person next to the mother. Empress...... Master, if there is anything to do, please just tell the slave and maid directly. ”

Lin Su showed a satisfied smile, gently knocked the empty cup and motioned for Fujiang to add tea to her, and then said in a low voice: "As long as you take good care of Ah Fu and Ah Ling." Xinrui has to be busy with other things, as for the new palace maid, the little girl who just entered the palace this year is still being transferred and taught by Mama, and when the adjustment and education are done, I will naturally personally select some people to come over and share it with you. ”

"The slave knows." Fu Jiang took a deep breath, handed the teacup to Lin Su with both hands, and then responded in a low voice: "Please rest assured, the slave will definitely take care of the two little masters." ”

"When you say that, I'm relieved." Lin Su gently sent the back of Fu Jiang's hand, took the teacup and drank it before getting up, and said to Xia Yan who had just entered the door: "These two little guys will let Fu Jiang take care of it together with the nurse." You accompany me to the kitchen. ”

Xia Yan raised her eyebrows and showed a look of surprise slightly, looked at Fujiang, and then nodded and stepped forward to help Lin Su out of the door.

"Master, can you use the Fujiang River?"

"He's a smart man, let's take a look." Lin Su's tone was casual, looking at the lotus flowers on the side of the road that were not yet fully blooming, he thought for a while, then stopped the little girl passing by, and said, "Find two eunuchs and get some clean lotus leaves for me to send to the kitchen." ”

Xia Yan was a little inexplicable about Lin Su's whims, but this did not affect her work, and after the clean lotus leaves were delivered, she deliberately took them and washed them before sending them to Lin Su's hands. Lin Su picked up the lotus leaf and looked at it carefully, then put it aside and began to marinate the chicken, and at the same time instructed Xia Yan to wash the japonica rice that Si Yue liked to eat, which included wrapping the chicken in lotus leaves, putting it in the cage drawer and steaming it slowly with chicken broth.

In Lin Su's memory, lotus leaf rice was a delicacy discovered five years later, when the world was singing and dancing. The simple method, with the fragrance of lotus flowers, is very popular with Si Yue, so he specially asked the recipe to come back and let the imperial chef imitate it. Lin Su was being excluded at that time, but she also had an extra thought, secretly learned this, and added a little bit of her own thoughts, and broke into Si Yue's sight again in one fell swoop.

Kneading the green dough mixed with vegetable juice vigorously, Lin Su shook his head slightly and came back to his senses from his memory, put the noodles aside and opened them, then looked at the two fish raised in the tank, and instructed the cook on the side to take out one, pull out the fishy line, scrape the fish scales, and marinate it with seasoning.

Once these are ready, she starts to make some simple dishes. Because of the hot and humid weather recently, Lin Su guessed that Si Yue would definitely want to eat something refreshing, so the dishes were not very troublesome, but simple and refreshing.

When the time was almost up, she set up the pot and waited until the oil temperature was about the same, and then put down the pickled fish, and fried both sides until they were yellowed, and then a spoonful of cooking wine went down to stir up layers of water mist. When the mist dissipated, Lin Su added water to it, then put in some dried shiitake mushrooms and tofu, covered the lid, and waited for the soup in the pot to boil, then changed to low heat and slowly simmered.
