At the end of lunch, Rong Qingzhang sent Ying Lili out.

He came to the study alone.

On the wall to the left of the study, there is a portrait of a woman in palace costume.

The woman in the painting is slender and graceful, and her appearance is stunning, and she is the late Jade Guifei.

Why did the father and mother get away from each other back then, Rong Qingzhang didn't know.

I only remember that on Chinese New Year's Eve that year, my mother returned to Guan Ju Palace in despair, and then the forbidden army surrounded Guan Ju Palace.

The next day, a holy decree spread throughout the harem.

When the concubine Sheng of the dynasty was pampered and arrogant, she took power in the harem, she was loyal and treacherous, and she was embarrassed by the position of the concubine, so she took away all her titles, was grounded in the palace, and could not come out of life, and died without burial.

That year, Rong Qingzhang had just turned six years old.

Although Yu Guifei passed away at the beginning of last year.

But in Rong Qingzhang's heart, when he was six years old, he had already lost his mother.

The grievances between his father and his mother did not affect him.

However, everyone knows that the Seven Princes are more expensive than their mothers.

Since his mother has fallen out of favor, his status as the seventh prince has naturally plummeted.

Two years ago, the queen passed away, and now the harem is managed by Zheng Guifei, the biological mother of the second prince, and the status of the second prince is now at its peak.

learned from my uncle that nearly half of the courtiers today are interested in the second prince inheriting the crown prince's throne.

It's just that the father has never expressed his position.

As for himself, whether he has an idea about that throne.

Not at the moment, it's hard to say in the future.

I picked up a pen and wrote a page, and I heard the sound of "tuk tuk" outside the window.

The young man looked up at the window, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were dyed with a little shade.

Raised his feet and stepped forward, pushed open the window, and saw Ying Lili at a glance.

"Little chestnut, what are you doing?"

From the sound of the sound, Ying Lili grabbed a handful of "grass", and her good-looking apricot eyes looked weird.

It's a pity that he is a little Han as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Your Highness, I found wild herbs."

Rong Qingzhang folded his arms in the window frame, unloading the anger in his heart, "What wild vegetables?" ”

"Bitter herbs." Raising the wild vegetables in his hand, Ying Lili said: "You can mix it cold, but we don't open the fire in Guan Ju Palace, you can wash it and dry it and soak it in water to drink it, clear away heat and detoxify." ”

"You know how to cook?" The little fool mentioned it twice.

He thought it was funny, and she really didn't like the food in the imperial dining room.

It's just that a little girl from a poor background, how many delicious meals she has eaten, she dares to dislike the imperial chef in the palace.

"Yes!" Ying Lili continued to look for wild vegetables, "The meals in the Guogong Mansion are very delicious, and there are too many oil and salt ingredients in the palace. ”

I followed Sheng Guogong into the palace before, and I was a little looking forward to it.

This is the Imperial Palace, and the palace meal should be very good.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

It's very salty and greasy.

Just the sauce duck at noon, when this master runs out, when it comes to her, it will be half a mouthful of oil.

Greasy people regurgitate.

Rong Qingzhang does not have a heavy appetite.

Now he is still in the three-year filial piety period, the diet can't be big fish and meat, a meat dish at every meal, he basically can't move a few chopsticks, and he is rewarded to Yuan Mama and others.

"Your Highness, do you really want me to keep vigil at night?" She frowned, her little face slightly ...... Ugly.

Rong Qingzhang hooked his fingers.

She stepped forward with a handful of vegetables.

As soon as she got closer, the boy stretched out his arm and put his fingertips on her eyebrows.

"Don't frown, it's not good-looking, and frowning is even uglier and unsightly."

Ying Lili almost didn't laugh angrily.

Actually said she was ugly?

Well, it does a little.

The little girl started working by walking, and was later sold by her parents and elders.

She woke up in the Datong shop of the Guogong Mansion, her skin was slightly darker, and she looked shorter than children of the same age in later generations.

I don't know if the environment in the palace can support people, and I hope to grow in a few years.

She doesn't want to go from clown to adulthood.

"You dislike His Highness?" Rong Qingzhang raised his eyebrows, with a condescending appearance, quite imposing.

It is said that he is only a ten-year-old boy, but he gives people a rather mature feeling.

The point is not to feel out of place.

Ying Lili sighed, the ancients were terrible.

"No," she didn't dare to say even if she disliked it, "I'm just worried that it won't be good to have nightmares and scream at night, and it won't scare Your Highness." ”

"It's okay, I don't dislike you." Rong Qingzhang felt that he was a very tolerant master.

The corners of Ying Lili's mouth were pressed down, "Your Highness is really a good person." ”

His Royal Highness the Great Good Man seemed to have hallucinated for a moment.

The little fool in front of him was a milk cat, and his tail that was originally wagging happily suddenly hung down because of his low mood.

Inexplicably pitiful.

"Although you have to keep vigil, you can use the kitchenette in the Guanju Palace." This is Rong Qingzhang's rare "kindness".

The little fool who was originally languishing suddenly raised his head, and the light in his apricot eyes was bright and bright.

"Your Highness is really a good person." Ying Lili waved his hand excitedly, and ran away quickly with the bitter herbs, "Don't disturb His Highness's reading, I'll go find Mama Yuan." ”

Rong Qingzhang: "......"

Very good, a little fool who crossed the river and demolished the bridge.

Ying Lili trotted all the way and soon found Mama Yuan.

Seeing the little girl with no manners, Mama Yuan felt a pain in her brain, as if she was wearing a tight hoop and was constantly shrinking.

"Mama!" The little girl called her crisply.

"Pay attention to your manners, do you want me to teach you the rules yourself?" Mama Yuan scolded with a cold face.

Ying Lili hurriedly stood up straight, "Mama, Your Highness said that you can let us cook meals in the small kitchen." ”

Mama Yuan opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

But since His Highness agreed, she could only obey.

"You know how to cook?" Mama asked.

She can't do it anyway, at best she can make some snacks.

A good sister who passed away many years ago, but she is a good cook.

Ying Lili nodded hurriedly, "Mama, let's start the fire tonight." ”

Mama Yuan felt that this girl would die sooner or later from eating.

Since Ying Lili ran away, Rong Qingzhang didn't see this little fool all afternoon.

asked the little eunuch who served closely, and learned that the little fool was busy washing in the small kitchen.

Unfortunately, His Royal Highness and Mama Yuan had the same idea.

Then I thought it would be nice to reopen the kitchen, at least without worrying about being discharged.

Whether the meal is delicious or not, he doesn't care.

Maybe I cared before.

At this time, Ying Lili was very happy, she ran back and forth to the well of Guan Ju Palace to fetch water, and came back to carefully clean the small kitchen.

The thought of not having to eat the meals in the imperial dining room at night makes it difficult to suppress the joy in my heart.

"Mama!" Holding a bowl that was being washed, she leaned over to Mama Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Is the meal of other nobles so unpalatable?" ”

Not unexpectedly, she was glared at fiercely by Mama Yuan.

"Stay in Guan Ju Palace, I have wronged you."

Ying Lili shuddered.

Well, this tone is really a good yin and yang person.

"Mama, don't be angry, I don't mean to disrespect His Highness, I just feel that the meal sent by the imperial dining room is so unpalatable, and I feel aggrieved for our Highness."

Mama Yuan stared at her big eyes, which were really clean inside, and the anger in her heart gradually dissipated.

"In this palace, most people are good at praising the high and stepping on the low, you are new to the palace, learn slowly, and sooner or later you will understand."

After that, Mama Yuan went out.

Later, she had to ask the inner prison to go to the imperial dining room to get today's meat and vegetables.

I also have to ask His Royal Highness the Seventh whether tonight's dinner is made in the imperial dining room or with that little girl.
