Yin Wan's delicate and delicate face was slightly distorted because of nervousness and anxiety, she hurriedly grabbed Yun Che's sleeve and dragged him into the nearby corridor, and even her voice changed tone: "Brother Yun Che, of course I am doing this for myself, but also for the imperial concubine." Jia Concubine framed the imperial concubine on the charge of fornication, and the imperial concubine was grounded in Yikun Palace in those days, and she was imprisoned in the Shen Criminal Division for torture, aren't you also very anxious? In order to intercede for the imperial concubine, I knelt outside the Heart Cultivation Hall for so long, and you also saw it with your own eyes. I just want to save the imperial concubine and avenge the imperial concubine, so what's wrong? She panicked, "and...... And if it weren't for Jia Concubine's own bad intentions, how could her child be so frightened and die of fright. This is retribution, not me! ”

Yun Che was annoyed: "The child can't help but be scared? It's your hands that are too ruthless! ”

Seeing that he was difficult to move, Yin Wan didn't feel angry: "My hands are ruthless? Who in this palace is not ruthless?! Who hasn't had something dirty on their hands?! is the imperial concubine, now looking at ten thousand people, who knows what her hands have done? ”

Yun Che's expression was as cold as ice, and a trace of pity flashed: "What the imperial concubine has done, I can't blame." Yinwan, I know that Concubine Jia has been bullying you, but you have harmed Brother Jiu and wronged Concubine Chun. It's not difficult for you to protect yourself, why do you want to learn from Jia Concubine? Aren't you afraid of your own retribution? ”

Yin Wan sneered: "Retribution? What retribution can I have? I don't have any children of my own, and it's the same as the imperial concubine. If this is retribution, then the imperial concubine is also retribution. ”

Yun Che shook his head: "I thought you were doing this to cling to the grace of the imperial concubine and looking for a support from her, but it turns out that you are nothing more than that." Yinwan, I really have nothing to say to you. ”

Yin Wan took a deep breath: "Yes." You and I have nothing to say. It's just that you must reveal to the emperor that I did this incident, so I told the emperor that it was the imperial concubine and Concubine Yu who instructed me to do it. Anyway, Concubine Jia died of her child, and Concubine Chun was left out in the cold, such a thing of killing two birds with one stone, no matter how others believe that it was done by the imperial concubine and Concubine Yu in order to consolidate their status. ”

Yun Che took a step closer, his face cold: "You dare!" ”

Yin Wan smiled firmly: "Even if I die, I can't die by myself." Your glory and wealth were given to you by the imperial concubine, you see if I dare! ”

Yun Che shook off her hand vigorously: "Yinwan, you have really become unrecognizable. ”

There was a bit of sadness in Yinwan's cold tone: "Why aren't you?" In the past, you only cared about me, but now you not only care about glory and wealth, but also care about the imperial concubine. ”

Yun Che's heart trembled slightly: "The imperial concubine is my benefactor. ”

Yan Wan looked him in the eyes: "But she is also a woman." She suddenly felt a little proud, "It's just a woman who looks a little like me, but is older than me." ”

Yun Che calmly accepted her smile with his eyes: "The imperial concubine is indeed older than you, but do you know why the imperial concubine is more favored than you?" ”

Yan Wan's eyes shrank: "I am younger than her, I will definitely be more favored than her." ”

Yun Che shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I know that her hands may not be clean, but she still has her own bottom line, unlike you, in addition to clinging to flattery, it is a conspiracy to harm people." ”

He brushed his sleeves and wanted to leave, but tears suddenly welled up in Yinwan's eyes: "Brother Yun Che, even if I am not good, you must not forget our childhood sweetheart." I, no matter how much I become, I never forget. ”

Yun Che was slightly stunned, his expression was complicated and indescribable, and he left.

Lu Yun was neglected until the spring of the fifteenth year of Qianlong, and Yuyan was also restored to Concubine Jia in this spring, but in any case, the grace was not as good as before. And what often accompanies the emperor is Concubine Shu, who has always been a saint.

At dusk, the sky is full of glow, and the golden light of the afterglow is undiminished, and the lingering drunken purple red spreads all over the sky. The sunset gradually turned purple, empty and transparent, and was branded on the branch window of longevity and Changchun.

Ruyi entered the study room of the Yangxin Palace, saw Yihuan accompanying the side, and flipped through a book of poems with the emperor to enjoy it. She was polite, but she was also a little embarrassed, and only smiled: "The emperor is safe, the concubine is not at the right time." ”

Yi Huan stood up and solemnized, his face was slightly red: "The imperial concubine likes to laugh the most." My sister is just sitting with the emperor for pleasure. ”

The emperor got up with a smile and took Ruyi's hand: "It's weirdly hot at this time, why did you think about coming over?" Carefully the road was soaked in the heat. ”

Ruyi saw that Yihuan was on the side, her face burned, and she hurriedly pumped her hand and said: "It's not very hot to ride the sedan chair along the way." ”

With his heart on the side, he stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "If you go back to the emperor, our little master heard that the weather has been hot for the past two days, and the emperor's dim sum in the imperial dining room is not fragrant, so he specially made some pastries and sent them to the emperor." ”

Yi Huan pursed her lips and smiled: "The imperial concubine's handicraft sister has never tasted it?" It's a coincidence. She looked sideways at the food box in her hand, "The emperor has always been afraid of heat, and the dim sum in the imperial dining room is very sweet, as if it can't be tasted without sugar juice, it's really boring." ”

The emperor was curious, so he reached out and lifted the food box: "What did you do?" I'll see. ”

Ruyi rolled up the light purple cuffs embroidered with beaded grapes, revealing a thin wrist like a white lotus, took a few plain white small dishes out, and pointed them one by one: "This dish is the white water lotus root produced in Ziyang Lake, only cut into thin slices, crisp and sweet, if the taste is thin, it can also be accompanied by sour plum soup sauce." ”

Yi Huan seems to like it: "The sour plum soup is dark red in color, and it looks good when poured on the white lotus root." It's just that the lotus root is only sweet and good, and you don't need to side it. ”

Ruyi nodded slightly, and said, "This plate is fat cake." ”

The emperor frowned, and he couldn't help but be amused: "I love to eat this every day, but how can something as greasy as fat cake swallow when it's so hot today?" ”

Ruyi glanced at him, and said with a smile: "What the concubines do is different from what the emperor usually eats." Seeing that the emperor seemed to be attracted by the aroma, she endured a smug joy and said, "This fat cake is to cut off the wisteria flowers that bloom in mid-spring, and only pick pure purple for use, leaving the buds that have opened to eight points and have not opened. The honey is also particular, it must be wisteria nectar, so that the smell is pure and not adulterated. When you want to eat, take the pure glutinous flour and mix it with finely diced fat, then add rock sugar to crush it, mix it with a layer of petals and put it on a plate to steam, and then simmer it slightly cold with ice cubes, and this is it. ”

Yi Huan looked at the plate of light purple pastries and liked it very much: "The ordinary fat is cheesy, the vine flowers are sweet and greasy, and they look crystal clear, but they seem to be in spring." ”

Ruyi heard this praise and said, "If Sister Concubine Shu likes it, you can taste a few more pieces." Before she finished speaking, the emperor had already taken the silver chopsticks and clamped a piece of the entrance, and praised again and again: "The fragrance is sweet and soft, it is indeed good." "What else?" ”

Ruyi's eyebrows and eyes jumped out with wisdom, and said with a smile: "There is also a plate of soft fragrant cake and a licorice ice and snow cold ball." This licorice ice and snow cold ball is also ordinary, and the entrance is just raw. The soft cake is made of japonica rice flour mixed with mint juice, which is refreshing and cool in the mouth. As she spoke, she handed it to the emperor and Yi Huan, and she felt a little nostalgic, "The concubine lived in Suzhou with Ama when she was a child, and she loved this soft fragrant cake the most." Nowhere else can it be compared. After the concubine returned to Beijing with Amma, she never tasted it again for more than ten years, and later tried it a few times according to the taste in her memory, which was not very good. I did it again today, and I can still enter it. ”

After tasting it with Yihuan, the emperor took Ruyi to sit down and sighed: "You lived in Suzhou when you were young, and you still remember it. Every time I hear you mention it, I'm fascinated. He stroked the back of Ruyi's hand, gentle but firm, "Don't worry." Hangzhou, which I love, and Suzhou, which you love, is a paradise on earth. In my lifetime, I will definitely take you to the mountains and rivers of Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”

Ruyi's heart was slightly warm, her face faintly revealed a bit of hibiscus flushing, and a rare charming smile was embellished on it, which was strange and moving: "The emperor has a heart, thank you concubine." ”
