Just when the door of the Changning palace was closed and silently congratulated that their princess finally had a baby, in the Yihong Courtyard across several streets, Lan Xin, who was wearing a cloak to cover her beautiful face and graceful figure, left from the back door in a hurry after opening Xiaoyu, sat in a low-key sedan chair, and went all the way out of the city.

The sedan chair bumped all the way, and it took nearly half an hour to reach the outskirts of a village outside the city.

It is the time when the rice is headed, and the flowering rice in a circle on the outskirts of the village swayed from side to side with the cool breeze, making a rustling sound, and from a distance, it seemed to ripple blue waves.

At a distance in the field, there are farmers tending to the seedlings, watering or weeding, all with satisfied smiles on their faces.

The palanquin soon stopped in front of a courtyard with a large gate locked and a much more luxurious appearance than the other rooms, and the high walls blocked the curious view of everyone.

The palanquin bearers unloaded the sedan chair from their shoulders, and one of them bent down and tapped lightly on the sedan chair twice, reminding in a low voice, "Miss, it's here." ”

The door of the sedan car moved, a slender jade hand with fingers as delicate as green onions stretched out, and Lan Xin, who was wrapped in a cloak all over her body, stepped off the sedan chair lightly, pulled the cloak hat down again, and then stepped forward.

Reaching out and pulling the rusty doorknocker and knocking twice, the door creaked open a crack, revealing an old woman with an eyepatch on her right eye and a gloomy face like a ghost, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Lan Xin was not frightened by her appearance of not being a ghost or a ghost, she looked up at her slightly, and raised her hand to hand over a swarthy sign.

The old woman looked down, did not speak, but opened the door a little, and stepped aside.

When Lan Xin entered the door, she slammed the door shut, and only turned back after locking it, looking at her with the remaining eyes, her voice hoarse as if she had been run over by gravel, "The master has been waiting for you for a long time, come with me." ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Lan Xin asked softly, and followed behind her with low eyebrows.

Probably not often cleaned, Sanjin's yard is quite barren, and the weeds are almost knee-high.

Along the way, the road was quiet, but Lan Xin knew that just out of sight, there must be many highly skilled people hiding in the shadows to monitor them.

Relatively silent all the way.

The two staggered across the weedy front yard to a hidden house. After bringing Lan Xin here, the old woman turned around and left without hesitation, as if she didn't remember that there was such a person behind her.

Lan Xin hesitated, but still stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A deep male voice soon came from inside the door, cold and indifferent, revealing a sense of majesty, "Come in." ”

Lan Xin pushed open the door and walked in.

Unlike the bleak outside the door, the room is very clean and refreshing. There is a bookshelf against the wall, on which no less than hundreds of books are stacked, there is a pot of quaint and verdant pine in the corner of the room, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table are complete, and the white smoke rises from the incense burner with the lid half-closed, which dyes the whole room with a smell of sandalwood.

A man with a few silver threads in his hair holding a scroll of scriptures in his hand, standing in front of the bookshelf with his back to the door, occasionally reaching out to turn a page, looking indifferent.

Lan Xin took off the hat of the cloak, her expression was slightly complicated, and she stepped forward to bow to Yingying, "Lan Xin has seen the master." ”

"Get up." As he spoke, the man put the Diamond Sutra back on the bookshelf and turned around with one hand behind his back.

has a face that is somewhat similar to Shangguan Yun, with a strong bookish atmosphere, although his temples are slightly white, but it can't hide his handsome face, with the elegance of the years of immersion.

"Do you know the reason I asked you to come over?"

Lan Xin made his eagle-like eyes stare at his back cold, and tried to recall what he had done recently, but he didn't have much clue, so he could only shake his head, "Lan Xin is dull, I still hope that the master will tell me." ”

The elegant man, Shangguan Yun's uncle, Shangguan Xinghe, groaned, took two steps to the side, and turned his head suddenly, "I heard that you had a relationship with Princess Changning?" ”

Lan Xin didn't know what he was paying attention to, so she carefully replied, "The princess is a lively person, she once pretended to be a little maid to serve me in Yihong Courtyard because of fun, and her subordinates saw her funny personality, so they couldn't help but chat a little more." ”

"Really?" Shangguan Xinghe groaned, and after a while, he suddenly smiled, leaned forward slightly, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"This ......" Lan Xin listened to what he said, her beautiful face was full of embarrassment, and she didn't respond for a long time.

Shangguan Xinghe saw her hesitation, and his heart became more and more impatient, and his eyebrows and eyes were dyed with anger, which made his originally elegant and handsome face distort a little, "What? Can't do it with your sisterhood? ”

Lan Xin's heart was shocked, and her mind turned back in an instant, and she hurriedly swallowed back the worries and reluctance that came to her mouth, and replied respectfully with her head down, "The master misunderstood, Lan Xin was just thinking about a plan, and nothing is more important than assisting the young master to achieve great things." Please give me three more days, and Lan Xin will definitely handle this matter properly at that time. ”

"It's best if you understand nature." Obviously, it was Lan Xin's obedient appearance that pleased Shangguan Xinghe, and the expression on his face gradually returned to his original plain appearance, and even the corners of his mouth brought a little smile, "I approve this matter." Three days later, I want to see Jiang Fenghao's wife appear in front of me. If you can't do it......" Glancing at Lan Xin, he slowly put away his smile, his face full of anger, "You should know what the consequences will be." ”

"My subordinates understand, master, please rest assured." Lan Xin stood with her head bowed respectfully, slightly hiding the uneasiness and sadness in her eyes.

"Good." Shangguan Xinghe paced to the window with his hands behind his back, and raised his eyes to look at the unblocked blue sky and white clouds, "As long as you do things well, when Yun'er returns to the great treasure, I will definitely seek a name for you, so that you can always be by his side and have no worries for a lifetime." ”

"Thank you master, Lan Xin is grateful." This pie is a little big, and although Lan Xin is excited on her face, she is very disappreciative in her heart.

All her wishes originally revolved around Shangguan Yun, as long as she could be with him. Anything else, whether it's glory and wealth or fame and fortune, she doesn't care.

"Alright, you can go back first." The two talked softly for a while, explained everything that should be explained clearly, and knocked Lan Xin for a while, and the topic stopped there. Shangguan Xinghe waved his hand, signaling that she could go, "Be careful in the future, if there is anything to report directly, it will be done directly for the white slave to report, in addition," it seemed that he had thought of something, Shangguan Xinghe frowned and added, "If Yun'er goes to see you in the future, remember to remind him to be careful, but don't leave any handles for people to catch." ”

Lan Xin lowered her eyes, very supple, "My subordinates understand." ”

Shangguan Xinghe looked a little tired, and waved his hand again, "Go down." ”

Lan Xin was a blessing again, slowly retreated to the door, and left without looking back.

After she left, Shangguan Xinghe stood alone in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the blue sky for a while with an expressionless face, and then returned to the table and sat down.

Open the large box placed on the table, untie the silk cloth spread on the lower layer, and carefully pick up a small tablet from it.

Reaching out and stroking the line of words engraved on it, Shangguan Xinghe's face was full of attachment, and he muttered to himself, "Wanqing, Wanqing, Yun'er is still too soft-hearted, since he doesn't want his hands to be covered with blood, then let me carry this sin for him......"

********************

Forced Jiang Fenghao to let him sleep, He Xiaoqiao lay down and fell asleep, and when she woke up again, it was already dusk, and there were large areas of magnificent fire clouds hanging in the sky, and a line of geese lined up with the word 'human' skipped through the air, which was extremely spectacular.

After Imperial Doctor Hu checked her pulse and confirmed that she was okay now, He Xiaoqiao simply freshened up and prepared to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.

Jiang Fenghao, who had just come back from bathing and changing clothes, held her down, motioned for her to sit in the room, and volunteered to cook for her personally, "Lady, what do you want to eat, do it immediately for your husband!" ”

He Xiaoqiao squinted at him, "Do you know how to cook?" ”

"You can learn as a husband!" Jiang Fenghao said don't underestimate him.

...... "Well, it's rare that he has this heart, and he must not be hit."

Silently hiding his distrustful eyes, He Xiaoqiao smiled at the corner of his mouth, highly affirmed his father-in-law's spirit of seeking knowledge and being willing to practice, and vigorously praised his behavior of spoiling his daughter-in-law and thinking about his daughter-in-law.

Coaxed Jiang Fenghao to be happy, and when he rolled up his sleeves and confidently entered the kitchen, he turned around and immediately asked Imperial Doctor Hu to get antidiarrheal medicine that did not hurt his body.

After all, there is only one small life, plus the one in the belly that has just arrived...... In order not to happen to the cup, it is better to take it leisurely, and you will always be prepared.

Stretched out his hand and touched the belly that had not yet shown his pregnancy, although he didn't have any hope for Jiang Fenghao's craftsmanship, but the smile on He Xiaoqiao's face couldn't be stopped, "Baby, your father will cook for us, if it's delicious, let's eat more, if it's unpalatable, let him solve it by himself, okay?" ”

The little embryo, which was only more than two months old, naturally would not respond to her, but He Xiaoqiao's heart was still sweet, so she asked Cailian to move a chair for herself, sitting lazily in the shade of a tree, holding a glass of goat's milk in her hand, and admiring her man's busy appearance in the kitchen while drinking.

Probably because of her pregnancy, she has a strong taste recently, and she especially likes to eat sour and spicy things.

When Jiang Fenghao asked her what she wanted to eat just now, she immediately thought of the unopened sour bamboo shoots pickled in the kitchen, cut into shreds, stir-fried with red oil, chili pepper and salt, and stir-fried out of the pot quickly.

For fear that Jiang Fenghao wouldn't understand, He Xiaoqiao didn't dare to let him do anything else, so he only asked him to cook himself a bowl of mixed Guilin rice noodles.

There is never a shortage of beef, sausages and other ingredients in the palace kitchen, Jiang Fenghao did as He Xiaoqiao said, first took out the rice noodles that were made not long ago and soaked them in clean water to soften, and then took the time to clumsily take a kitchen knife to cut the sour bamboo shoots.

When I was halfway through the cut, I remembered that the stock hadn't been cooked yet, so I walked around the kitchen until I found the soup stock that had been chilled in the simple 'refrigerator' and was about to form lumps, scooped up a large spoonful and threw it into the pot, adding a little more water.

After putting the lid on the pot, I turned around to look for the chili peppers, and by the way, I scooped up a piece of the pork belly that had been cooked in the morning and slice it on the cutting board.

I have to say that although Jiang Fenghao has never cooked, he is still a little talented in cooking, and he doesn't need to be taught by others, so he listened to He Xiaoqiao's dictation, and he was in a hurry for a while, and in the end, he really made a bowl of hot and sour soup noodles that looked acceptable for him.

Although the beef and sausages were cut very thickly, the sour bamboo shoots were scorched, the pork belly was cooked too badly, and she forgot to add fried peanuts and sour cowpeas to taste, He Xiaoqiao felt that this was the best mixed powder she had ever eaten in her life.
