My heart hurts when I mention the abolition

At that time, she was thinking about how to make flower cakes with Madam Zheng.

During the recent period, it may be a bitter summer, the ancestors have a poor appetite, and have not eaten seriously for several days. When Chen Yizhen found out, it happened that the recipe of flower cakes was mentioned in the scripture book in her hand, so she wanted to simply take it out. This flower cake was figured out, firstly to pass the time, it happened that there were not many things in Minghe Garden, but to spend more, and secondly, it was to do my part of filial piety for the ancestors.

Then, she was discussing with Madam Zheng how to proceed with this matter. First, she had to pick flowers in the garden. Generally speaking, you should ask the cook here for the specific steps.

Suddenly, the bead curtain was lifted, and Mr. Pei walked in with a solemn expression, holding a snow-white envelope in his hand.

He walked up to Chen Yizhen and said in a low voice, "Madam, Mother Wu has sent a letter."

Chen Yizhen paused, and the excited and eager expression on her face fell silent. She was silent for a while, then she winked at Madam Zheng and Minister Pei, telling them to take everyone down.

After everyone left, Chen Yizhen opened the letter anxiously.

Before she left, she had told her family members that if there was an urgent matter at home, she could ask Nanny Wu to bring her a letter. She had been in Minghe Garden for so long, and she had long forgotten to return, but the urgent letter that came over at this time suddenly came to her. Woke her up from her dreamy life.

After a pause, he unfolded the letter, roughly scanned it, and after reading it, his expression suddenly became a little strange, as if he was less anxious and more hesitant and hesitant.

Shuang Shu came in with a cup of tea, and looked at her face calmly, seeing that her face was not bad, she knew it in her heart.

She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, "Ma'am, the tea is here."

Chen Yizhen came back to his senses slowly, with an "oh", he waved his hand and asked her to put down the tea, but he leaned on his chin and looked at a place in the air, lost in thought, as if he was stumped by something difficult.

Shuang Shu walked over slowly and asked her softly, "Is there something wrong at home?"

She guessed that even if something happened, it shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise the empress' face would not be so dull.

Chen Yizhen put down the letter, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing serious."

As she said that, she put away the letter, neither letting Shuangshu read it nor telling Shuangshu what happened.

Shuangshu was a little stunned, this was the first time that the empress hid something unimportant from them, it seems that even if the family matter is not big, it is very difficult for the empress to handle.

She handed her the tea, "Niang Niang, drink some clear tea to relieve the fire."

Before she came, she thought that something was wrong at home and she had to ask the empress, so she made a cup of fire tea for the empress to relieve the fire. Now it seems that even if there is no trouble at home, the content of the letter may make the empress feel uncomfortable. I was also very troubled, and the Baihuo tea happened to be used.

Chen Yizhen took it, took a sip, and sighed leisurely.

Shuangshu smiled lightly and persuaded: "If your empress feels upset, you can put it aside and leave it alone."

In fact, in her opinion, the empress has done enough for the family, and the current situation of the family is quite good. She has been rich and idle all her life, and many ordinary people can't even imagine a life. Next, the empress should live for herself, and the most important thing in front of her The most important thing is to give birth to a prince as soon as possible.

At home, unless it involves major matters of life and death, there is no need for the empress to worry too much.

Chen Yizhen shook his head, but didn't say much, he exhaled, and suddenly thought: "Where is Madam Zheng? Call in, let's continue discussing the flower cake."

Shuangshu nodded, "I'm going now, servant girl."

When Madam Zheng came in, Chen Yizhen temporarily put aside the family affairs, and discussed the flower cake with Madam Zheng.

It's not difficult to make flower cakes. Minghe Garden has the best flower petals, and the imperial chef will give pointers on the spot. Shuangshu and Shuanglu will work together, and she will figure it out after one go.

The flower cakes were made in different colors, and they looked cute and cute. Chen Yizhen was delighted to see them, especially because they were made by himself.

Reluctantly, she ordered a jasmine flower cake in the shape of a rabbit, and said with a smile, "I'm not willing to give these away."

Shuanglu said: "Then keep it, and the slaves will also feel reluctant to part with it. This is made by the empress herself."

Most importantly, the empress's phoenix body is precious, who is qualified to eat something made by herself?

Well, the emperor and the ancestors are counted as two, and the empress dowager is also counted as one, but the others are not qualified at all.

Chen Yizhen glanced at her with a smile, shook his head, divided these flower cakes into several portions with his own hands, picked three of them, and told them, "Go, send them to the ancestors, the empress dowager, and Princess Wei Le respectively."

Shuanglu curled her lips, lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

As for Chen Yizhen, he personally took the emperor's share and went out of Linshui Pavilion to the emperor's residence.

When she arrived, the emperor was still dealing with the memorial. Chen Yizhen subconsciously frowned, stepped forward, and complained, "Your majesty, didn't you agree that you should go out for a walk after sitting for a while? Why don't you listen to my concubine!"

The emperor put down his pen, looked up and saw her, subconsciously raised his hand to beg for mercy, "It's my fault, I'm going out for a walk."

Chen Yizhen pursed his lips and squinted at him, "The concubine came here to bring you food, but you asked to go out for a walk."

The emperor raised his forehead and sighed. He found that women were really strange. While talking about you not doing what she said, he said that it was wrong for you to do it again. Well, there are several women around him anyway, and he is used to it.

Without continuing this topic, she put down her hand and looked at the basket in her hand, "What is this?"

Chen Yizhen lifted the lid, showed him what was inside, blinked, and said in a mysterious tone, "Flower cake, try it, what kind of flower."

The emperor glanced at her, twisted a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and after a moment, he affirmed: "Rose."

Chen Yizhen's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked him up and down in surprise, "How do you know? Could it be that there is some kind of scanner installed on your body?"

The emperor sighed, "I have tasted too many flower cakes, why bother to install that thing, by the way, what is a scanner?"

Chen Yizhen stuck out her tongue and didn't explain it. She took it lightly. As she became more and more familiar with the emperor, she became more and more relaxed in front of the emperor. She didn't even think carefully about what she said, but thought it over and over again. This needs attention, remember it !

She simply glanced over the question, opened her bright eyes again, and asked him, "What do you think, how does it taste?"

"Hmm..." The emperor was about to say it was okay, and stared at Chen Yizhen's sparkling eyes. Suddenly, he realized something, paused, nodded naturally, and said "um", "the taste is very good."

"Really?" The light in Chen Yizhen's eyes became even brighter.

The emperor smiled secretly, "Of course it is true."

"Hee hee." Chen Yizhen stood up happily, almost circling in circles, not forgetting to say in a tone full of expectation and praise, "This is made by my own hands."

"Oh? Really? The queen is so capable?" The emperor blinked and praised in response to the situation.

"Of course!" Chen Yizhen hummed, with a charming face, "Didn't expect that?"

The emperor shook his head, "I didn't expect that you said you wouldn't do anything."

At the beginning, the emperor asked her to make soup for him, but she clearly said that she couldn't do it. It was only half a year since then, and she had already learned the same thing.

Chen Yizhen coughed and looked away guiltily.

In fact, she can cook simple household meals, but she just found an excuse to refuse because she didn't want to cook at that time. Of course she couldn't reveal her secrets at this time, so she smiled coyly and said, "Your Majesty, it's fine if you like it. If you like it, you can learn it some other day." new."

"Oh?" The emperor leaned back, leaning lazily on the dragon's back, staring at her from bottom to top, the light from outside the door came through, forming a hazy haze in his eyes that was hard to see clearly. Fog, he smiled lightly, thoughtfully, "The Queen suddenly shows great hospitality to me, tell me, do you want something from me?"

Chen Yizhen paused, the smile in her round eyes slowly faded, her pink/tender lips were lightly pursed, she looked at him quietly, and suddenly felt that there was a thousand rivers and mountains between them, even if she stretched out a finger, she could They meet each other, but the distance between their hearts is getting farther and farther.

She suddenly smiled, shook her head, and said: "The emperor was too worried, the concubine just happened to see how to make flower cakes when she was looking through the scriptures, so she figured it out with Madam Zheng on the spur of the moment."

After being silent for a while, the emperor nodded slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually softened, and the atmosphere of estrangement between each other melted away, "So it turns out that the queen is talented, and she can make things right away."

Chen Yizhen smiled slightly.

Walking out of the emperor's residence, Chen Yizhen walked on the road expressionlessly, and his steps became faster and faster. Shuangshu and Shuanglu looked at each other, and followed her closely, not daring to take a breath.

Back in the Linshui Pavilion, she waved her hand to signal that no one should follow in. Then, she walked in and closed the door.

Mother Zheng and Eunuch Pei came over suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter? Wasn't it fine when you left?"

Shuangshu and Shuanglu shook their heads, and said, "I don't know, we were both outside at the time, so we don't know what happened inside, it's just that the empress came out like this."

Madam Zheng covered her mouth, terrified, "You won't be at odds with the emperor, will you?"

After thinking about it, Shuangshu sighed, and said, "Let's not bother with the master's affairs, the master is in a bad mood, and the most important thing is to find a way to make the master happy."

Shuanglu nodded hastily, "Yes, that's the reason."

Nanny Zheng shook her head repeatedly and sighed, feeling that following this master, sooner or later she would have to worry about something going wrong.

Over there, after Chen Yizhen left, the emperor at the desk supported his forehead with his hands, closed his eyes tightly, and kept this movement motionless for a long time. The whole person seemed to be condensed into a sculpture, and the quiet and quiet atmosphere gradually spread in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, Rong Sheng walked in quietly.

"Your Majesty." He called softly, his voice so low that it was barely audible in the silent room.

But the emperor heard it, and the two thumbs that were stacked moved slightly, and after a while, Fang raised his head, and his silent and deep eyes glanced at him coldly, the cold eyes forced him to bow his waist, and whispered the report.

"This morning, the palace delivered a letter to the garden. It seemed that it was going to the Empress's Linshui Pavilion. Immediately afterwards, the empress began to prepare flower cakes."

Afterwards, without him saying anything, the Empress made flower cakes and distributed them to the ancestors. The Empress Dowager and Princess Wei Le each had a share, and she herself came over with a share in her hand.

After the report was over, the room fell into silence again. At some point, a cold breath quietly surrounded the person standing below, and Rong Sheng shivered unconsciously.

Afterwards, he heard the emperor faintly "hmm", this voice was also very soft, almost inaudible, which made Rong Sheng unable to hear the emotion in the emperor's words clearly.
