Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!
Chapter 136 Osmanthus Candy
This year, because the audition was scheduled for July, there were also things happening with Liu Hua, Tong Jia, Yunrong, and others.
On the surface, especially because of Tong Jia Yunrong's birthday party, Yinzhen actually had no time to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.
Gradually, autumn has arrived.
Liu Hua suddenly recalled the custom in the Jiangnan region, where his mother would make osmanthus cake for her son who was having his coming-of-age ceremony in the autumn.
This reason may seem far-fetched if it is in the capital, but if we add Hongzhou's filial piety in crying to Buddha, and the excuse that the Fourth Prince set up his own residence and brought the Empress Dowager to visit again, it seems to be a natural outcome.
Just like Tong Jia Yunrong goes into the kitchen herself, if you do it yourself, it will show your sincerity.
In order to calm Yinzhen's suspicion, Liu Hua actually took An Lingrong with him to fight Guihua.
Of course, it is impossible to fight openly in the Imperial Garden, otherwise it would be against the rules.
Therefore, Liu Hua deliberately chose the Ningshou Palace, which was less crowded. Most of the people living here were Tai Guiren, Tai Changzai, and Tai Yingying.
Because Emperor Kangxi lived a very long life, there were many young concubines in the Forbidden City.
But their status was low, so they could only squeeze into Ningshou Palace, which had nothing else.
Many osmanthus flowers have bloomed, because osmanthus flowers require the least care.
Those low-ranking concubines of the previous emperor would naturally not cause trouble for the high-ranking concubines of this dynasty. Liu Hua just asked Dongli to bring some fashionable dried fruits, cakes or clothing fabrics and talk to them in a nice tone.
Unexpectedly, someone personally brought him the tools for picking osmanthus flowers. Of course, Liu Hua was disrespectful to refuse them.
Have someone spread extremely tight white gauze on the ground, and then use bamboo poles to hit the osmanthus flowers with a "rustling" sound.
The petals of osmanthus scattered on the ground are the curtain call of summer and the appearance of autumn.
In a short while, Liu Hua and An Lingrong had collected a large bamboo basket.
As for making osmanthus cake after returning to the palace, Liu Hua of course cooked it herself, but she just chatted and laughed with An Lingrong on the side. After all, if Yinzhen ate what she made, it would be considered murder.
The chefs in the small kitchen are all top-notch experts. They managed to complete the rather complicated process of making osmanthus cake very quickly by dividing the work.
Liu Hua first ordered a plate of freshly baked food and hurriedly changed his clothes under An Lingrong's half-smile.
Let Dongli carry it and go to the Yangxin Palace.
However, God was determined to play a trick on Liu Hua. As soon as Liu Hua approached the Yangxin Palace, he ran into Tong Jia Yunrong who was coming towards him.
Liu Hua set his sights on the bowl of soup that was in the air and was known to replenish qi and nourish the kidneys.
Tong Jia Yunrong came with a blank expression on her face, but she smiled when she saw Liu Hua.
He actually greeted him with a smile, made a flat bow, and said, as if to tease Liu Hua unintentionally:
"Sister is also sending something to the Emperor. Sister, what gift do you want to give me? My sister's birthday is coming soon, and the Emperor promised to make it a grand occasion."
Liu Hua's smile almost froze, but he still managed a professional smile and said politely to Tong Jia Yunrong:
"Sister Tongjia, please don't think my gift is vulgar. I am favored by the Emperor and cherished by the Empress Dowager.
I naturally don’t care about my sister’s things. If they are not good, I will just throw them away.”
Tong Jia Yunrong's sleeve brushed against Liu Hua's hem, and she looked back at the hairpin on Liu Hua's head and the necklace around his neck.
"How can the Queen Mother's love for my younger sister compare to that for my elder sister? Is that right, Sister Jiaci?"
Liu Hua did not argue with her and continued walking without saying a word, but was stopped by Tong Jia Yunrong.
"Sister, you should give the things to Su Peisheng. Concubine Yi is in the room. She came right after I arrived.
After the emperor finished drinking my soup, he stayed with her.
Besides, the emperor had just finished drinking the soup, so he probably doesn’t want to eat... my sister’s sweet and greasy osmanthus cake.
Sister, please don’t let the nobles eat it all.”
Liu Hua didn't care whether it was eaten by a noble or by Yinzhen. She only cared that someone ate it, that she had shown her intention, and that Yinzhen saw it.
I won't feel sad about what Tong Jia Yunrong said. After all, in her eyes, Yin Zhen is just like that.
Standing outside the hall, Su Peisheng did not dare to stop Liu Hua, who was at the peak of her career, and respectfully invited her to the side hall.
After a while, Yinzhen summoned Liu Hua. As soon as Liu Hua entered, he heard a laugh.
Looking up from a distance, I saw Fu Rujin and Yinzhen pointing and commenting on a picture.
“People often say that Western maps of water control and bridge construction are different from those in China.
I saw it today, and it is indeed true."
Liu Hua looked at it from the side and saw a picture of water control, written in foreign language.
Fu Rujin noticed Liu Hua's fixed gaze and was startled. She asked in surprise, "Sister, you can actually read foreign languages."
Liu Hua said that it was effortlessly easy to understand the Picture of water control.
But the key was how to fool her, so she said directly: "Your Majesty just said that I am interested in listening to it. It is said to be a water control map and a bridge construction map. There is obviously no bridge on it, only the dredging of waterways. If it is not a water control map, what is it?"
Fu Rujin was impressed by Liu Hua's ingenious ideas, but also felt a little regretful.
She thought to herself, it would be great if there was someone in the palace who knew all this.
This way she could ask questions every day and wouldn't feel too lonely in this lonely palace.
Liu Hua did know something, but she didn't want, or rather, An Lingrong didn't want - Fu Rujin to come to Liu Hua every day.
If Fu Rujin really went to see Liu Hua every day, An Lingrong would probably go crazy.
Yinzhen looked at the osmanthus cake that Liu Hua brought over and asked hesitantly, "What are you doing here today?"
Liu Hua bowed and replied respectfully, "The Fourth Prince wants to marry a concubine because of the kindness of His Majesty, the Emperor.
I don't have anything else to give you, so I can only give you this plate of osmanthus cake. In our Jiangnan region, if a man has his coming-of-age ceremony in autumn, a plate of this cake is a must."
Yinzhen held Fu Rujin with his left hand and wanted to hold Liu Hua with his right hand, but Liu Hua was holding an osmanthus cake in his hand, so he was afraid that it would not go as Yinzhen wished.
——I am so lucky to have two wives.
He just pulled Fu Rujin to continue discussing her water control plan. Liu Bi didn't mind and just put down the hanging flower cake, gave some instructions about Yinzhen's health, and then left.
