Chapter 136: The Secret of the Royal Garden
Gao Shiman said in a hurry: "Nymphomaniac, it's to others...... It's kind of something like that.,It's just the meaning of catching up.。 You see your birthday, what do I do with gifts from irrelevant people, even if I give them, people don't thank me, I'm not a nymphomaniac? ”
"Haha, interesting, interesting!" Qin Er haha straight music.
"How many people are there?" Gao Shiman glared at him dissatisfied.
Qin Er thought for a while and said, "Just one table, plus my two little nephews, then you bring Tongtong with you, and everyone will be lively together." ”
"How old is your nephew, do you want to make two pairs of pulleys?" Gao Shiman joked for a long time.
"That's great, Ming'er, I'll have someone send you the shoe size, and you can ask someone to make a pair for each of them!" Qin Er couldn't be excited.
Gao Shiman was very happy to see him so happy, she suddenly thought of the peony in the Qi Palace, she promised Concubine Cui to help her graft, so she said to Qin Er: "I'm going to go to the Qi Palace, will you go?" ”
"What are you going to do?" Qin Er said strangely, Gao Shiman never went to the Qi Palace.
"I'm going to find Concubine Cui, I haven't done what I promised her last time", Gao Shiman replied truthfully.
Qin Er grinned and said, "What are you looking for her for." ”
Gao Shiman saw his expression of implied disdain, and said with a smile: "She is your brother's side concubine, why do you have such an expression?" ”
"It's nothing, if you want to go, I'll accompany you!" Qin Er said lazily.
Gao Shiman's grafting knife was given to Qinzhuang's Lao Liu, and she asked Qin Er: "Do you have a thinner knife, I want to use it." ”
"What, you're not going to the Qi Palace, are you?" Qin Er smiled.
"you, I'm not impatient yet, okay, just graft peonies." Gao Shiman explained.
"Let's go, I'll help you find one", Qin Er wondered in his heart, could it be that this peony can also be grafted?
Gao Shiman took An An and An Ran sisters to the Qi Palace, Qin Er took her directly to Li Ling's study, Li Ling saw that Gao Shiman was also here, so he looked at her face and said, "Is the illness better?" ”
"Good morning", Gao Shiman grinned, "What about the side concubine?" ”
Li Ling glanced at her and said, "What are you looking for her?" ”
"The last time I came, didn't I promise to help her sort out the peony flowers, it has been delayed for many days, and if you don't get it, you will miss the flowering period!" Gao Shiman secretly blamed himself for almost forgetting what he promised others.
"Let's rest for a while before we go", Li Ling asked people to serve tea, and brought some food to her.
Gao Shiman saw that there were pine nuts on the plate, and exclaimed: "Where did the pine nuts come from?" ”
Qin Er was not as surprised as before when he saw that she recognized the pine nuts: "This is a tribute, do you recognize it?" ”
Gao Shiman knew that he was speechless, but he already knew that if he lied, he would have to tell a hundred lies in the future to fulfill this lie, which was too tiring, so he nodded and said, "I recognize." ”
She picked up a pine nut and peeled it and tasted it, her mouth was full of fragrance, and she nodded, "What a fresh pine nut." So he continued to peel and eat. Qin Er saw that she was eating with relish, so he also came over and took a few grains and said, "I've eaten it before, why don't you think what you said is so fragrant......
Gao Shiman laughed at him and said, "You must be delicious, you have eaten too much." ”
Li Ling saw that Gao Shiman was eating sweetly, so he got up and went to the door to call Xiao Mandao: "Call Yuanxiu." ”
Gao Shiman heard Li Ling call him "Yuanxiu", and thought that Concubine Cui's maiden name was Cui Yuanxiu, so he whispered to Qin Er: "This name is really good." ”
Qin Er ignored her, and only said, "I almost forgot, let someone go to my sister's place and bring the shoes of the two little cubs to you back......"
Yuan Xiu is the eldest girl of Qi Palace, I heard that His Royal Highness asked her to go to the study, I was pleasantly surprised, the study was heavy, even Concubine Cui could not enter, His Royal Highness asked her to go to the study, could it be that there was something important to do? As soon as she entered the study, Li Ling said, "Go and bring all the pine nuts you got some time ago." ”
Yuan Xiu felt strange in his heart, and bowed and said, "Yes." ”
Gao Shiman only cared about peeling pine nuts, only glanced at Yuan Xiu, and said that he was a girl, so he lowered his head and continued to eat. After Qin Er came in, he sat opposite her, and the two chatted while eating.
Yuanxiu took all the pine nuts in the treasury, a total of a few catties bigger, Li Ling said: "Go down", she put down the pine nuts and went out, secretly took a pine nut, and called her for something.
Li Ling sat on the side and looked at the letters on the table, Yu Guang paid attention to Gao Shiman, and saw her talking to Qin Er with a light smile, only to feel that the entire study was full of warmth and comfort.
After a while, Qin Er brought the shoe sample he wanted, and he handed it to Gao Shiman and said, "Come, I'll give it to you!" ”
"Got it, hey, by the way, I have to go to the side concubine, what about the knife you said you found for me? Give it to me", after speaking, he got up, poured another sip of tea, and looked at Qin Er. Qin Er smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you", and after speaking, the two went to the garden.
Cui's also knew that Gao Shiman and Qin Er were coming, and when he heard that they were waiting for him in the garden, he hurriedly brought someone over, Gao Shiman saw her coming, and was busy saluting and greeting, Qin Er saw that Gao Shiman was so polite to Cui's, so he greeted him with a smile. Gao Shiman said apologetically: "I promised the side concubine to come to get this peony, but I haven't been idle, so I must get it done today before leaving." ”
Cui Shi smiled: "You don't have to be so polite, you can't do it this year or next year, what's the hurry." ”
Over there, Li Ling also came to the garden after reading the letter, and when Cui saw that Li Ling had also come over, he stepped forward to salute, Li Ling frowned impatiently, nodded and said nothing.
Gao Shiman took the blade and asked Cui's: "Concubine Fang, do you remember what color these peonies are?" ”
Cui Shi replied: "The top one is all white, the middle one is pink, the one behind you I remember is red, and some are yellow, and I can't tell the difference now." ”
Gao Shiman nodded, and carefully began to take the buds and graft. Everyone watched her seriously busy with the work in her hands, and Li Ling said, "Shiman, you are careful that you scratch your hand again." ”
"No", Gao Shiman didn't look back, and continued the work he was doing.
Li Ling looked at her, and saw that she was meticulously looking at the branches in her hands, and she only felt calm in her heart. Seeing that Li Ling was looking at Gao Shiman so seriously, Cui Shi's heart moved, and he said to Gao Shiman: "Shiman, can you teach me this grafting technique?" ”
Gao Shiman finally raised his head and said, "Does the side concubine also want to learn?" ”
Qin Er glanced at Cui Shi strangely, and Li Ling's expression did not move. Cui Shi saw that Li Ling was noncommittal, so he nodded and said, "I can save you trouble in the future!" ”
Gao Shiman smiled: "If you want to learn, come here, I'll tell you about it." ”
Cui Shi lifted his feet into the garden, and Gao Shiman began to explain to her. Cui's listened very carefully, and Gao Shiman also spoke carefully. Looking at Gao Shiman's smart and serious eyes, and then looking at Cui's old-fashioned face, Li Ling only felt irritable in his heart.
Qin Er saw that Gao Shiman and Cui Shi were serious, so he stood beside Li Ling and talked to him, and when Gao Shiman finished making this piece of peony, she stood up and said, "Ouch, my waist!" ”
When Qin Er heard this, he looked over there, Li Ling was stunned, and then said coldly to the palace people standing on the side: "Don't you go to serve?" ”
The two palace people were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly trotted forward, one wanted to help Gao Shiman, and the other went to help Cui's family. Gao Shiman hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, just wait for me to stand for a while." The palace people had no choice but to help Cui's, Cui's was carried out of the garden by the two, and Gao Shiman stood there and twisted his waist a few times.
Qin Er said to her, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay", Gao Shiman smiled, "It's just that the squatting time is a little longer, and it will be fine for a while." ”
Li Ling glanced at the two palace people, and was very unhappy in his heart. Gao Shiman shook into the garden as she walked, she saw if there were any treasures in the garden, if there was something she looked at, she had to find the side concubine to ask for some to go back to planting.
A small piece of chili pepper was hiding in the corner of the garden, it was what Gao Shiman didn't find last time, Gao Shiman turned around, and was about to return, when he suddenly found the small piece of chili, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it, what is this not a chili pepper? There are also a few dried chili peppers hanging on the branches, showing the world their legacy and independence.
Gao Shiman was very happy, and at the same time a little angry and funny, what she found when she stepped on the iron shoes, she didn't expect it to be in the garden of the Qi Palace! If she had found out last time, there would have been no later entry into the mountain, Li Ling would not have been injured, and the Wen sisters would not still be recuperating from their injuries in Zhuangzi, and it would be too late to regret it!
She stepped forward and quickly plucked a few dried peppers from the branches, and everyone looked at her when they saw what she was picking with a bow. When she finished picking it up, she trotted in front of Li Ling and said, "Your Highness, you are so annoying!" ”
Listening to her delicate voice, Li Ling said with a smile on his face, "What's wrong?" How to provoke you again. ”
Gao Shiman stretched out his palm, handed a few chili peppers in his hand to him and said, "Look at it!" ”
Li Ling lowered his eyes and saw that it was Gao Shiman who had made a lot of things on the top of the mountain~ and he said strangely: "There is this thing in the house?" ”
"That's right, you have it in your house but don't say it, it will cause us to go into the mountains, do you think you don't hate it?" Gao Shiman was excited and annoyed in his heart, and looked at Li Ling with disgust.
Li Ling thought about it and knew why Gao Shiman hated him, in fact, he didn't know that this kind of thing was planted in the garden of the mansion, if he had known earlier, he would have told her a long time ago, why wait until today. Looking at her wrinkled little face and somewhat black fingers, Li Ling smiled: "I don't know anything, look at your hands, go wash them." ”
Gao Shiman put the chili pepper in his hand under his nose and smelled it, there was a faint spicy taste, and he was about to put it in his mouth to taste it, but was stopped by Li Ling: "Nonsense! Before she could react, Li Ling had already taken her hand and walked back, and instructed as she went: "Prepare water." ”
Someone went down immediately, Cui Shi looked at the backs of Li Ling and Gao Shiman, and secretly said that this Gao Shiman saved His Royal Highness's life, and His Royal Highness actually spoiled her as a sister, and she couldn't offend this Miss Gao in the future, so she also went back.
Li Ling pulled her to sit down outside the side hall of the study, and the water was also delivered, Li Ling took a few chili peppers in her hand and threw them on the table, and personally helped her wash her hands. Qin Er followed up to see him like this, and he didn't say anything, just looked at them with a smile.
Helping her wash the black stains on her hands, as soon as Li Ling raised her eyes, the palace people on the side handed her a handkerchief, and he took it to help Gao Shiman wipe it clean and said, "Don't put messy things in your mouth again." ”
"It's not a mess," Gosman explains.
Li Ling raised her eyes to look at her, and the invisible coercion hit Gao Shiman, and she grinned and said, "Okay, I know." ”
