Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Ning sent Zheliu to the imperial dining room, wanting to ask for some hawthorn and sugar to make some rock sugar gourds.

This is a little habit that Jiang Ning developed when he was still outside the palace.

Every time she encounters a large reward from a guest, she regards it as her lucky fortune.

So, every time she does this, she celebrates this sudden luck.

If she is outside the palace, she will go to the most famous restaurant on North Street to order her favorite three meat and one vegetarian food, and finish this meal slowly.

Enjoy this rare time to have your own meal.

But now, she is in the palace, and there is naturally no shortage of good food and drink.

So, she could only take the opportunity to fulfill one of her wishes.

So she decided to make herself a string of rock sugar gourds.

Jiang Ning sat at the table and wrote down the recipe she had obtained on paper from memory.

The morning dew drifted into the house with a slight smell of earth, and the sound of hoes plowing the land was heard not far away.

Jiang Ning finished writing the last word, got up and walked to the side, took out a wooden box from the cabinet drawer, held it in his hand, and walked out of the hall door.

Jiang Ning stood still under the eaves.

Not far away, Lu Feng was plowing the ground.

He had to take advantage of a little free time in the morning to finish the farm work, and he was also in charge of the command of the Praetorian Guard.

He was hunched over, dressed in a simple cloth robe, holding a hoe in both hands, and his sleeves rolled high to the elbows.

As the hoe continued to rise and fall, the green tendons on his bare arms throbbed, and the sweat dripped silently from the corners of his forehead to the tip of his nose.

Jiang Ning leaned quietly against the door frame, and the hand holding the wooden box tightened slightly.

At this time, it was early spring, the official sowing season, Lu Feng ran around twice a day, and after finishing the work of the Praetorian Guard, he came to pick up the lamp and farm the land, without the slightest complaint.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

The last hoe fell, and the whole field was loosened.

Lu Feng wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead with his sleeve, straightened his waist, and looked in the direction of the main hall.

However, he didn't wait for Oriyanagi to bring him a cup of tea.

Jiang Ning smiled helplessly, she waved her hand at Lu Feng, and said in a loud voice: "The willow girl has helped me with my errands, you can rest and come over, this palace is looking for you something." ”

"Yes." Lu Feng responded, then took the hoe and walked to the place where the farm tools were displayed, put the hoe in his hand, and came to Jiang Ning.

"Niangniang, what are you looking for me?"

Jiang Ning smiled, not in a hurry, just led Lu Feng into the house and sat down at the table.

"Bengong took a look, it's still early, you can have a cup of tea and rest first, don't worry."

Lu Feng nodded when he heard this, poured himself a cup of tea, lowered his head and drank it, and in the tea room, he inadvertently saw the recipe for the rock sugar gourd written by Jiang Ning on the table.

"Mother, this is going to be sweets?"

"Hmm." Jiang Ning replied softly, "This is a very common sweet food among the people. ”

Lu Feng took a cup of tea and filled a whole cup for himself, he looked at the recipe on the table, and suddenly smiled.

"Why do you smile like that?" Jiang Ning was a little puzzled.

"The minister is envious of the relationship between the mother and the emperor, and is grateful to the daughter of the mother, and she will make sweets to please the emperor."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but roll his eyes.

She really doesn't understand the logic of the people in this harem, as if her every move revolves around the likes and dislikes of the dog emperor.

"That's not what I meant." Lu Feng put down the teacup a little embarrassed, reached out and grabbed his hair, "The minister just thought that the emperor likes sweets when he saw this, so he would say that." ”

"The emperor loves sweets." Jiang Ning muttered in a low voice.

She was a little surprised that Mu Jingzhao, an indifferent and ruthless person, would have such a preference.

"Yes." Lu Feng smiled lightly, "The minister also listened to what Commander Lin said, Commander Lin and the emperor grew up together, and the relationship is very good, so there will be no mistake in thinking about it." ”

Jiang Ning didn't want to continue with the topic, so she pushed the wooden box in her hand in front of Lu Feng.

"Open it and take a look, this is what this palace promised you."

Lu Feng opened the wooden box in front of him with a suspicious expression, and in the wooden box, there was a peacock feather hairpin wrapped in a soft cloth.

He glanced at Jiang Ning in disbelief, and his eyes gradually changed from confusion to sudden realization.

"So Niangniang, you asked me to auction and bid so that the minister could show his intention to fold the willow?"

Jiang Ning finally nodded contentedly, it was really not easy to make someone like Lu Feng enlighten.

"The heart is a thing that focuses on expression, not necessarily how much silver is thrown on it."

She raised her chin and pointed to the wooden box in Lu Feng's hand, "Take it, I'll be back when I fold the willow girl." ”

Lu Feng clenched the wooden box in his hand, his fingertips were slightly white, and after a long time, he knelt down in front of Jiang Ning with a thud.

"Niangniang is very kind, Lu Feng is unforgettable."

Lu Feng knelt down like this, which made Jiang Ning a little at a loss, she quickly got up and bent down to try to help Lu Feng up.

"Get up, get up! You also helped Bengong earn 10,000 taels of silver, 10,000 taels! ”

Lu Feng still insisted on kneeling on the ground, "Niangniang, as a lady of the sky, treats her subjects with an equal heart and thinks about them everywhere. If it weren't for Niangniang coming up with a way to tell stories to make money, the minister really didn't know how to solve the dilemma of folding willows. ”

Lu Feng's words made Jiang Ning unprovoked recall the difficult time when she and Zheliu were dependent on each other in the cold palace when she first entered the palace.

For no reason, her nose was sore.

"Say what you say, but you can't say anything." With a force of her hands, she dragged Lu Feng up from the ground, "We are all family. ”

Seeing that Lu Feng was going to continue to sensationalize, Jiang Ning spoke out in time to stop it.

"Okay, the willow girl is coming back soon, if she comes to see such a scene, you can't explain it."

Jiang Ning and Lu Feng really know Zheliu's temper very well, if she comes back and sees such a scene, she will definitely feel that she was being played by Jiang Ning and Lu Feng together, and she lost her temper.

Lu Feng's words were blocked by the words that just came to his mouth, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally put away the wooden box and said softly, "Thank you, Niangniang." ”

As soon as Lu Feng got up, Zheliu entered the cold palace with the hawthorn and sugar begging for it, humming a song.

"Niangniang, I'll find you everything you want." From afar, she waved her hand at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning bumped Lu Feng with his elbow, and then smiled and greeted Zheliu.

"How's it going?" Jiang Ning heard the prestige, and saw that there were many fresh and full sugar gourds lying in the bamboo basket, which looked very attractive.

"The people in the dining room, as soon as I heard that it was wanted by our palace people, we must pick it first, how about you see what I picked?"

With a casual finger, she let Zheliu put it on the table next to her, and then bumped into Lu Feng and pushed him towards Zheliu.
