Princess Yuyao waited for the almond tea to be served, drank a bowl with Li Zhang, and then asked someone to fill a bowl and send it to Xie Ning with her own hands. ┡Ω 8) (1) Chinese Net. 『８⒈

She saw two palace people standing under the stone steps outside the palace gate, and knew that most of the people in Niangniang were there at this time, and Qinghe had already seen her, and greeted her with a smile.

"Princess, what's this? It looks weird and heavy. ”

Princess Yuyao was also polite to Qinghe, the number one palace maid in Yong'an Palace: "It's good to drink almond tea today, so I want to give it to Niangniang to taste it." Who's in there? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's already over." Qinghe personally opened the curtain to welcome Princess Yuyao in. Originally, she wanted to take over the box in the princess's hand, but since this was the princess's heart, it was inconvenient for Qinghe to go beyond the hermitage. It's like when the emperor eats with his master now, he will also serve soup and vegetables to his master! That's the emperor! When Qinghe saw it for the first time, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down on the spot, how he couldn't hold on to it, he didn't remember, for fear that he would be incompetent and condemned for his errand, how could he let the emperor do it himself? Later, after experiencing a lot, I slowly understood. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, but the emperor is also a person, just like ordinary people, it is different when facing people outside and when facing his wife and children.

Princess Yuyao went in, just when the first two Shanggong came out, she saw the princess and hurriedly saluted, and Princess Yuyao didn't pay much attention to it.

Xie Ning smiled and said, "It's so cold, you have to come out and wear more." ”

Princess Yuyao said with a smile: "I just drank the hot almond tea, I was sweating, please try it too, this almond tea is very fragrant, and it is not sweet and greasy, and there is a little walnut in it, which we peeled by hand." ”

"You just peeled walnuts?"

Princess Yuyao brought out the almond tea, and Qinghe hurriedly stepped forward to take it and handed it to Xie Ning, afraid that the princess would be unstable and burn her hands.

"Originally, I wanted to go to Mrs. Fang's place to see, Taishi Lingxuan's day after tomorrow, when I thought that Niangniang was going to move to the next place, I was very reluctant, so I asked Guo Shanggong to clean up the two furnishings, and wanted to see if there was anything that Mrs. could help. Later, Xia Hong sent a small basket of walnuts, we peeled and ate them, and played with Madame for a while, and we dispersed after Master Li passed. ”

"Although walnuts are fragrant, don't eat too much at once, it's not easy to restrain them. At dinner, I told Guo Shanggong that I would prepare two lighter side dishes for you. Xie Ning instructed her and tasted the almond tea sent by Princess Yuyao, and sure enough, the taste was mellow and thick, which was not the same as what she usually drank.

"Niangniang, Lin Minsheng, is he already gone? The day before yesterday, he wrote a letter saying that he was ready to leave, and the school also had winter vacation, so he would leave in the next two days. ”

"yes, I think I've already left."

Princess Yuyao was very curious: "Niangniang, is Anzhou far away?" Is the road good or not? Is it cold in winter there? ”

This question made Xie Ning a little stunned. It has been several years since she left her hometown, and since she was ** years old, her uncle has been working as an official outside, and Xie Ning has been living with her uncle's family in office, and her impression of Anzhou is still those things when she was a child.

"Anzhou will also be cold in winter, but compared to Beijing, there will be much less rain and snow. If you go out to Anju when the weather is warm, it is convenient to go by water. When we went to Beijing to be drafted girls, we came by boat. However, now that the weather is cold, the river may freeze, and most of them will walk 6 ways. ”

"How many days are you going to go?"

"It will take seven or eight days."

Princess Yuyao curiously asked what the Lin family's hometown was like, and Xie Ning showed her. The Lin family's old mansion is not luxurious, but the place is indeed very spacious. Because the house was built early, it has been almost a hundred years since the eldest uncle's generation, and the yard is very large, Xie Ning still remembers that in the summer, his cousins and cousins went to the west wall to catch insects and birds. The west side of the house was originally a stage, and when the New Year festival was encountered, the troupe was often invited to liven up, the year was too long, the wall was washed down by heavy rain and was not repaired in time, and the barren grass was about to bury people.

Princess Yuyao's eyes widened: "Is the grass really so tall?" ”

Xie Ning thought for a while, smiled and said, "At that time, I was your age, and I was not as tall as you." ”

Princess Yuyao smiled when she thought about it.

No, I figured it out when I thought about it. It is not easy for grass to grow and bury adults, but it is still very simple to grow taller than children.

"How sinful it is to go out on such a cold day." After Princess Yuyao finished laughing, she couldn't help but sigh: "If you want to go back, it's better to pick up a warm time." ”

"There is only one long vacation in the school year." The long winter vacation is because it is going to be the New Year, so it can be until the first month, and the official school will start classes again in February.

Princess Yuyao also understands that after entering Layue, even the palace is preparing for the New Year. The eldest prince was only slightly ill after entering the winter, and his cough improved after a few days, but Xie Ning was still very worried, and told him not to go to the study again these days, and to take care of his body first.

I understand it, but I still can't help but worry. The weather is so cold, and it is not as difficult to eat hot water as at home, and I don't know where to rest at night.

"It's not that hard to get out." Xie Ning comforted her: "Walking outside can not only increase knowledge, but also hone your mind and broaden your mind. ”

Princess Yuyao blinked her eyes and listened to her carefully.

"By the way, what did you send to Mrs. Fang?"

"A jade camellia bonsai, a double-sided embroidered four small kang screens." Princess Yuyao said, "Mrs. Fang said she liked it very much. ”

Princess Yuyao gave her something that she also liked very much. She has a different affection for the other lady, if she gives it to someone else, she will just go through the motions, and it will not be rude to look decent. But the things given to Mrs. Fang, she personally picked and chose before deciding, these two things are what she likes, the jade bonsai is no different from the real camellia from a distance, the small kang screen is a gift from the Needle Bureau on her birthday, Princess Yuyao likes it very much, she is not willing to put it, but now she is willing to take it out for Mrs. Fang.

“…… Master Li discussed with his wife about any important matters, and even Xia Hong was not waiting in front of him, we also went to the tea room, and I also saw how almond tea was cooked. ”

Xie Ning rarely had such a quiet moment, as soon as the third prince woke up, the east hall became noisy again, and the second prince couldn't be idle for a moment, wrapped thickly like a small cotton ball, the little short legs ran but were not slow at all, and the nurse and the palace maid who followed behind were out of breath.
