Yaoguang Hall is to the west of Zixiao Hall, not far away, but it takes a quarter of an hour to walk.
The court ladies and eunuchs met along the way, seeing Tao Ti walking around, they all retreated to the side of the road to salute in amazement.
When Tao Ti walked away, he raised his head one by one and started talking in a low voice—
"It's amazing, the prince came out to walk? I heard that the prince had asked her to send snacks to her highness yesterday. Seeing the palace behind her carrying a food box, is this going to the Purple Heaven Hall?"
"Isn't she unwilling to marry over? What is the matter of rushing to send food to your Royal Highness."
"Hey, maybe I figured it out. This person has married in, and has made trouble, and it doesn't make much fun anymore..."
"By the way, did you see the appearance of the princess just now? I didn't dare to look up."
"I see clearly! Hey, who said that the prince was unremarkable before? It's Hu Qin! I just took a look, it can be a fairy descending into the world!"
"Huh? It's so beautiful, isn't it an exaggeration?"
"I'm a grandson to lie to you! If you don't believe me, find a chance to take a look."
People in the palace here were chatting enthusiastically, but Tao Ti's eyes were attracted by the small grove of sophora trees on the side of the road.
I saw clusters of locust trees blooming lively on those tall trees, white as snow, small white flowers with tender branches and leaves, in the breezy spring breeze. , Sent a burst of sweet fragrance.
There is a poem: The spring breeze arrives in front of the court one night, and the sophora japonica blossoms are fragrant for ten miles.
Tao Ti looked at the tender and beautiful Sophora japonica, and took a deep breath, feeling relaxed and happy, "This Sophora japonica is really blooming."
Linglong just wanted to echo "Yes", and heard the princess say, "Such a tender Sophora japonica, whether it is made into Sophora japonica cake, Sophora japonica buns, Sophora japonica egg cakes, or used to steam fish, it must be good. eat!"
exquisite,"…?"
This has to be replaced by other noble ladies enjoying flowers, not to mention writing poems, and not thinking about eating them all at once.
My own princess is really...like food.
Tao Ti didn’t know Linglong’s belly defamation. There were a dozen sophora flowers in her mind, so she turned around and said to Linglong in a happy mood, “Let’s go, let’s go and give your majesty some food first, and come back. Let's pick two baskets and go back at that time."
Two baskets? Linglong was silent: "Yes..."
—
The Zixiao Palace is worthy of being the largest hall of the East Palace, and its floor space, palace size, and magnificence are not comparable to Yaoguang Palace.
But the style in the hall is very cool, the color is sober and low-key, there are not many flowers and plants everywhere, and the verdant bamboo forests can be seen everywhere. If it is placed in a hot summer, this large bamboo forest looks cool and quiet. But looking at the other three seasons, it seems a little lonely.
But for a fairy like Pei Yan, this quiet and elegant style matches him.
Seeing Tao Ti's arrival, the palace people in the Purple Cloud Palace dignifiedly saluted and greeted Tao Ti as if they were approaching enemies.
This cautious and defensive attitude makes Tao Ti smile bitterly—
She really wanted to hold these palace members, and explained one by one, don’t look at me like this, I’m really at peace, everyone quickly forgot about committing suicide by poisoning, and gave me a chance to reform and re-behave. Bar!
If you want to return to it, it is not easy to do it. After adjusting his mentality, Tao Ti walked around the landscape screen and walked into the hall.
Pei Yan was sitting at the table with the scroll in his hand. Hearing the slight footsteps, he put the scroll down and raised his eyes to look forward.
Today Tao Ti is wearing a simple magnolia-colored gauze and satin palace dress, with a low bun and two silver hairpins with sunflower patterns. As long as she does not go out, she simply dresses up. Anyway, the heavens always take special care of the beauties. As long as they look good and dress neatly, they can be praised as "naturally decorated."
Tao Ti bowed to him, "See your Highness."
Pei Yan smiled at her naturally, "You are here."
"I made candied fruit and dried meat today." Tao Ti took the food box in Linglong's hand and put it down at his table. "Isn’t the candied fruit in the pan-fried pot too sweet? I just made some not so sweet. . And this pork, sesame, salty and sweet. If you are hungry while dealing with government affairs, you can eat something to cushion your stomach."
While she was talking, she had already laid out the candied fruit and pork.
Pei Yan motioned to Fu Xirui to move her a stool, and his eyes fell on the things she had brought.
Tao Ti's gaze moved with his sight. Seeing him looking at the brightly colored dried pork, he said, "Although the weather is not particularly hot now, this kind of dried pork won't last long. You'd better eat it within three days. Or it will taste bad."
Seeing him watching the candied fruit, she said again, "I have made four kinds of candied fruit. Candied ginger, honey kumquat, snowflake hawthorn ball and rouge dried apricot. Don't worry, they will not be very sweet. You can make these four cans. Eat, feel good after eating, then tell me, I will make it for you."
Pei Yanwen said, "It's too much trouble for you."
"It's not troublesome, it's not difficult to make." Tao Ti said sincerely, "Speaking of which you have helped me several times, I can't do anything for you, I can only cook something for you..."
If he had been investigating her poisoning, he was afraid that he was in jail now? Or the entire Yongweihoufu's heads fall to the ground? What's more, he also promised to give himself and Li Shu, saying "Entong is recreated" is not an exaggeration.
Now she just feeds him something to eat, which is nothing at all.
Seeing her seriousness, Pei Yan didn't pick up the stubble any more, but picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of candied ginger.
As soon as Zai Jiang was brought to my mouth, I could smell a refreshing and spicy taste. When it is put into the mouth, the faint sweetness melts between the teeth. With chewing, the special freshness and spicyness of Zai **** is mixed with the sweetness of honey, which is greasy and appetizing.
He looked at Tao Ti, who was sitting on his side, and praised, "This is the best candied **** I've ever eaten."
This sentence is true.
He had never eaten such a good candied fruit before, and the taste of Zai **** itself was very well preserved, unlike other candied fruit that he had eaten before. It was sweet or sweet.
"You like to eat." Tao Ti's beautiful smiling eyes were bent into crescents.
Being recognized by others is something to be happy about, not to mention being recognized by such a handsome guy, it's almost double happiness!
"You are so good at cooking, who did you learn from?" Pei Yan asked casually, but his deep eyes were fixed on her face.
Sure enough, he accurately caught the flash of surprise between her eyebrows and eyes.
She panicked.
Tao Ti squeezed her fingers subconsciously, then blinked her eyes and smiled, "I haven't studied with anyone, but I like to read some miscellaneous books, especially some food notes, and I am interested in seeing it. Yes, I will figure out how to do it..."
The slender jade finger lightly tapped the table top, Pei Yan's expression was still impeccable, and he said lightly, "Oh, that's how it is?"
Tao Ti nodded her head and said without changing her face and heartbeat, "Unfortunately, in the Hou Mansion, there were a lot of people and the four rooms shared a large kitchen. I didn't have to run to the large kitchen often to toss, so I didn't do much before. Chef. Now I can have a small kitchen to toss about at will, thanks to your understanding... I am so grateful."
When he proposed to open a small kitchen before, Tao Ti guessed that someone might ask questions. After all, the original owner didn't cook very much, and he became a lover of cooking here, and he would inevitably attract attention.
She thought that the first person to ask questions would be those dowry maids, but she didn't expect Pei Yan to ask questions first.
Pei Yan, such a simple-minded little angel, should be quite foolish, right? After all, I'm not familiar with it before.
She comforted herself in this way, and praised her witty response and calm acting skills by the way.
Hearing her words, Pei Yan at the desk raised her thick eyebrows slightly. This explanation was logical, and he recognized her for the time being.
She just explained it, and didn’t forget to flatter him...
What a sly and flattering little fox.
