Chapter 20：

After Zhidemen, it is the scope of the East Palace.

Although Tao Ti only finished visiting the East Palace yesterday, she remembered well and took out the posture of the hostess, and introduced the six princesses to various places in the East Palace all the way.

The six princesses' bright big eyes looked around curiously, and from time to time they responded happily.

When passing through the small garden, the double-petaled roses bloomed brightly, and the purple-red petals bloomed in bright and clear sunlight, vivid and fragrant.

Tao Ti stopped and said warmly to the sixth princess, "Go, let's pick some roses and go back."

Six princesses flickered with big eyes, and asked, "Is my sister-in-law picking flowers to make incense dew?"

Tao Ti smiled, "Don't make incense, just pick some to make snacks."

When she visited the small garden yesterday, she specially saw that these roses are all edible roses. If it weren't for the main purpose of stepping on the map yesterday, she picked it yesterday. It's okay right now, just pick a basket and go home.

Upon seeing this, Linglong immediately asked the little **** to prepare the basket and scissors.

Tao Ti took the six princesses to the garden while choosing flowers with excellent appearance.

It is recorded in the "Materia Medica": "The rose flower is clear but not turbid, harmonious but not fierce, softening the liver and rejuvenating the stomach, clearing the qi and promoting blood circulation, clearing the suffocation without the disadvantages of pungent, warming, rigid and dry. The most quick-acting and the most docile, the fragrant products are almost unmatched."

After one girl and one girl picked a basket of flowers, they returned to Yaoguang Hall.

Tao Ti’s Yaoguang Hall is very warmly decorated. After getting acquainted with the supervisors of the Sansi and the 5th Bureau, she ordered a lot of flower seeds and potted plants, and planted the vacant area of ​​Yaoguang Hall with flowers and plants. A piece of fruit trees were planted in the backyard, such as pear trees, peach trees, apricot trees, pomegranate trees, etc. and planted them all over. She thought happily that she could pick and eat fresh fruits when she came to fruition in the coming year.

Of course, she also thought about it, maybe before the fruit was full, Pei Yan gave her and Li Shu... and Li Shu, from another perspective, it was Pei Yan's death notice.

Tao Ti tries not to think about such sad things. She selfishly hopes that Pei Yan can live longer, at least taste the fresh fruits of the four seasons, and enjoy more of the world's little beauty. At this time, when facing death, she may have less regrets.

The sixth princess was a bit cautious at first, but Tao Tisi did not regard her as an outsider. She put all kinds of candied cakes in front of her, and said softly, "Fei Fei, you sit and rest for a while, I'll make some desserts for you. ."

"Sister-in-law, don't bother..." She reached out her little finger and lowered the cakes on the table. "There is so much to eat."

Tao Tilian said it was not troublesome, turned around and went into the kitchen.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the prince and concubine and sister-in-law, the six princesses felt warm. She sat on the couch and waited, not running or moving, just picked up a piece of pea cake and ate it in small bites.

She originally thought that the prince's concubine's sister-in-law was just talking about "soon", but she didn't expect the prince's concubine's sister-in-law would come back when the tea in her cup was still warm.

"It smells so good..." Six princesses sniffed the sweet scent and looked at the tray in the palace man's hand curiously.

Tao Ti motioned to the palace man to arrange the dessert, and sat down opposite the six princesses.

On the kang table with carved red sandalwood and crutches, two desserts are placed in exquisite white porcelain bowls. The appearance is not much different from ordinary sweet soup, but the thick milky and floral fragrance fills the whole hall, as if falling into a sweet beauty. Dreams.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of snack is this? The first time I have seen you."

"This one is peach gum milk round soup. The other is rose fragrant **** and milk... I didn't plan to make **** and milk. I just saw that the roses we picked were very fresh, so I made it easily." Tao Ti Handed her a silver spoon, smiled lightly, "Try it."

Children love desserts, not to mention that the sweet soup smells in front of them, which makes the index finger move.

The sixth princess first tasted the peach gum milk round soup. Just after taking a bite, her dark eyes lighted up like a fawn. "Sister-in-law, this sweet soup is so delicious. I have never had such a good sweet soup. !"

The peach gum is soft and glutinous, and the snow-white little **** are also very elastic. One bite, and there are sweet and sour mulberry fruit fillings in it. At this time, drink another sip of milk sweet soup, which is fragrant and refreshing, and full of happiness.

Tao Ti held her cheeks and looked at her with a smile, "Then you will try this **** milk."

Princess Six actually doesn't like to eat pungent ingredients like green onion, **** and garlic, but after tasting the peach gum milk round soup, she has a certain degree of trust in Tao Ti's cooking skills, and look at the white, tender, tender and condensed dish. Dessert, I can't help but look forward to it.

Just like fresh and tender water tofu, you can easily sip a spoonful. The six princesses put the spoon into the mouth, and the next moment, the whole person was stunned.

The tender and sweet custard melts in your mouth. The **** flavor is not too strong, but the sweetness is a bit spicy. The charming fragrance of roses is mixed with the fragrance of milk. It is warm and warm, as if a heart has become too. Be warm and gentle.

"How is it?" Tao Ti asked.

"..." The sixth princess did not speak, but buried her small head, bite after bite of the **** bumping milk in front of her.

There was a faint thunder from outside the window, Tao Ti looked out, the sky in the distance was black, and a few gray-blue clouds floated quietly.

She whispered in a soft voice, "It's going to rain again."

At this moment, there was a small movement suddenly. She thought it was rain falling, and when she turned around, she realized that the sound was made by the Six Princesses.

She was still eating the bowl of **** and hitting the milk, but she buried her head very low and wiped her eyes with the other hand from time to time.

Tao Ti felt that something was wrong, and said with concern, "Fei Fei, what's the matter with you?"

The little girl didn't look up, her voice was soft, with a bit of crying, "No, nothing."

Cried? !

Tao Ti's heart squatted, and hurriedly walked to her side, staring at the childish face of the sixth princess, "What's the matter? Don't cry first. If you have something to do, tell your sister-in-law that your sister-in-law will find a way with you, eh?"

Her gentle inquiry, as if a small key gently knocked open the closed heart of Princess Six.

Under the dim light, the sixth princess slowly raised her head. Those black eyes were like grapes stained with water mist, two lines of tears slipped from her cheeks, and the corners of her eyes flushed.

Now it's Tao Ti, and even the palace people on the side are shocked: Are you happy when you didn't eat it just now? Why did you cry all of a sudden?

The six princesses' nanny was uneasy on the side, but because of the status of the princess, she didn't dare to ask questions.

Tao Ti coaxed at a loss, "What's wrong with you... don't cry first..."

Seeing her worry, the sixth princess quickly wiped her tears and said with a nose, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just the smell of **** and milk that reminds me of my mother and concubine..."

Tao Ti said: Huh? ? ?

As far as she knows, this **** bumping into milk hasn't been done before... So how does this dessert evoke the mother-saving love of the six princesses? Could it be that the birth mother of the Six Princesses is also a transgressive person?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible. After all, the broken system of the underworld was so old, maybe another traverser was drawn to this dynasty.

Thinking that there might be a modern fellow in the harem, Tao Ti stretched out his hand and patted the six princesses on the shoulder, and comforted, "Okay, don't cry, I will send you back later and find your mother and concubine together?"

In a moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

The tears of the six princesses were more like beads with a broken thread, and they fell down.

Tao Ti, "...?" panicked.

Did you say something wrong?

She didn't know how to coax the child, just by instinct, she stretched out her hand to hold the six princesses in her arms, and gently patted her on the back, "Stop crying, stop crying..."

When Pei Yan stepped into the Yaoguang Hall, he happened to see the six princesses crying in Tao Ti's arms.

Fu Xirui, who came in on the back foot, took a breath: This is... the crown princess bullied the six princesses and cried?

Pei Yan's black eyes glowed with a deep cold light, and the palms that were hanging down slowly tightened, and strode forward.

"His Royal Highness...?" Tao Ti looked at the visitor in surprise.

Pei Yan's pale lips were slightly pursed, and he looked at everything in front of him calmly, his voice was low, "What's wrong?"

Tao Ti looked a little helpless, "Fei Fei missed her mother and concubine."

When the sixth princess heard the prince coming, she quickly closed her tears, suppressed her uncomfortableness, and left Tao Ti's arms, with big red eyes, softly calling out "Brother Prince".

The chill in Pei Yan's eyes gradually receded, and returned to the usual tolerance and gentleness.

He asked gently, "Isn't Xiao Liu who doesn't like to cry? Why is it crying like a small cat now." As he said, he took the veil to wipe her tears.

The light dimmed, and the patter of rain sounded outside the window. Tao Ti looked at the warm and respectful pictures of brothers, friends and sisters in front of him, and said in his heart: He is so gentle.

The six princesses gradually stabilized and explained embarrassingly, "The former mother and concubine also made this dessert for me. I thought I would never taste it again in my life... Just now I suddenly tasted this familiar taste, so I couldn’t control it. I think of my mother and concubine..."

She lowered her eyebrows and apologized, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I worried you just now."

"It's okay." Tao Ti waved his hand and vaguely heard that there was something wrong with the words of Princess Six. What does it mean that you can't taste it in this life? Could it be that the fellow who traveled through the village didn't cook food for the little princess?

Tao Ti did not speak even when she had doubts, lest she accidentally poke the sensitive spots of the little girl and make her cry.

Pei Yan and the sixth princess stayed in the Yaoguang Hall.

Lunch was delivered from the dining room, with cherry meat, minced shrimps, fish fillets, vegan stewed three fresh balls, crispy quail, and two vegetables, a soup, a sweet soup, and a few pastries, full of dangdang. Set up a table, very rich.

Tao Ti also heated three salted duck eggs, one for each person.

As soon as the chopsticks were pierced, the marked oil came out of it. She poured the marked oil on the rice first, then peeled the shell and ate the egg whites, leaving only the oily red and bright egg yolk in the bowl, and poke it away with the chopsticks. , And eat together with rice.

Six princesses looked at her way of eating and found it fresh, "Sister-in-law, is it better to eat this way?"

Tao Ti said, "You'll know if you try."

After the six princesses cried in her arms, the distance between them became closer invisibly.

Seeing her saying this, the six princesses also followed suit. After eating a bite of rice mixed with salted egg yolk, his little face is full of joy to open the door to a new world, "Wow, it's really delicious to eat like this, you don't need to eat vegetables anymore."

Tao Tixin said, isn't it? Modern bibimbap sauces are sold well, such as salted egg yolk sauce and crab yellow sauce. The prices are not cheap.

Pei Yan unknowingly remembered the bowl of fried rice with salted egg yolk last night, and followed their way of eating.

It tastes good, but...the fried rice from last night is more fragrant.

When this idea came up, Pei Yan felt funny. Think of him as a dignified prince of a country, what delicacies have not been eaten? Unexpectedly, one day I would remember a bowl of simple fried rice.
