On the Self-cultivation of the Concubine

Xie Xuanzhao felt that this kitten was sometimes innocent and innocent like a child, and sometimes it was straightforward and bold like an old hand, just like this moment with a serious face, the questions he asked were just like this...

How can people answer it!

Liu Qinglan rubbed against her little by little, imitating her, and poked her waist with her fingers, her tone was soft and light, "Can you please~"

Xie Xuanzhao's pair of phoenix eyes suddenly became deeper and deeper, with a faint wolf light flashing, she lowered her eyes, gently stroked Liu Qinglan's eyebrows with her fingers, and asked leisurely: "Then you will?"

"What will happen?" Liu Qinglan tilted her head with a naive expression on her face.

Xie Xuanzhao approached her and breathed like blue: "Teasing."

tease?Liu Qinglan sincerely said that she didn't know how to do it, but she wanted to learn.

Xie Xuanzhao bent the corner of his mouth, "After you return to the palace, you should think about the books and picture albums I gave you, and you will naturally learn."

"I want you to teach me by hand." Liu Qinglan said with a cute face, saying that she is very studious!

The smile on Xie Xuanzhao's face became more and more intense, "The future will be long, we are not in a hurry."

"Well, not in a hurry." In fact, Liu Qinglan was very anxious, as anxious as a cat's paw scratching its heart. What is it like for a human woman to be emotional?Will it be the same as myself, but the beauty queen has no tail.

Xie Xuan took care not to tell the truth, and helped each other adjust their clothes. This kind of thing always needs to have a sense of anticipation and mystery, and it can only be full of interest when it really comes, commonly known as fun.

The royal team returning to Beijing temporarily stopped by the stream, under the temporary wooden shed, the royal chef and cooks were busy preparing for lunch.

Because it is on the road, it is impossible to cook a royal table dish in a big way, so after discussing with the royal chefs, they decided to make Cheng noodles, accompanied by cucumber and fresh shrimp dumplings.

Taoxi and the other cooks made some purple sweet potato cold cakes for the girls as desserts on the way.

Today, Taoxi inserted a peach blossom-shaped wooden hairpin on her temples, which is very beautiful and moving.

While peeling the boiled purple sweet potato, she was paying attention to the steamer on the stove next to her.After a while, the cooks who were in charge of serving the dishes came back one after another. Seeing that she was still busy, they hurriedly greeted her: "Everything that should be served has been served, and it's time for us to rest and eat, Taoxi, hurry up come over."

The food for all the masters has been delivered, and now they eat the rest.Taoxi put the peeled purple potatoes in a basin, and prepared to mash them with a stone pestle to make cakes later.

All the cooks under the wooden shed went out to eat, only a drawer of crystal and exquisite buns was steaming on the stove.

On a tree not far away, my younger sister was sitting cross-legged deep in a branch, closing her eyes and meditating.

Because of her special status, she could only follow all the way in secret. She could have returned to the capital first, but thinking of overhearing Lin Yulang's intentions that night, she always felt that things would not pass so easily, so she continued to stay.

During the day, the black egg was not bathed in the moonlight, and lost its vitality, and lay deep in the sleeve of his sister, sleeping soundly.

Although I don't like it, I can't be driven away. My sister has no choice but to let her lie there, as long as she doesn't make trouble.

The wooden shed where the royal chefs cook is nearby, and the aroma is pervasive. My sister is trying to restrain the temptation of the delicious food, when she suddenly hears a hissing sound in her ears.

It sounds like a snake uttering a letter.

Sensing the strangeness, the younger sister opened her eyes eagerly, and saw a small flower snake swimming out of the grass under the tree, with its tail slightly raised.

The younger sister quietly pressed the scabbard, and then watched the snake slide into the wooden shed.

The sharp-nosed snake followed the fragrance and traveled all the way, and finally she found the source of the fragrance.

It was a nest of eggs next to the drawer of crystal exquisite steamed stuffed buns.

Jiang Wenwen quickly picked up an egg, and was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly noticed the bun again.

She climbed up curiously, pried open the steaming wooden drawer with the tail of the snake, and saw the freshly steamed crystal buns inside, which were exquisite and exquisite, really cute.

This familiar feeling made her unable to resist stealing one out.

Snakes generally only eat live animals.But Jiang Wenwen lived in the human world for a period of time, so she can accept human food, especially this bun, which she is very familiar with, which she used to eat every day.

Regardless of the hot steamed buns just out of the oven, Jiang Wenwen bit through the transparent crystal skin with one bite, and the rich and plump juice overflowed, and the aroma was overflowing.She narrowed her eyes enjoying it, it was a familiar taste!

Suddenly footsteps came from behind, and it was too late for Jiang Wenwen to escape, because she was full of eggs and crystal buns in her arms because of greed.

There was no way, she turned into a human form with a whimper.

As soon as he transformed into a human form, a strange peach petal fell under his feet, as bright red as blood.

"Who are you? Why did you appear here?" It was Taoxi who came in. She saw that the steamed buns she had finally steamed were eaten by this man, and the eggs in the nest for kneading were also missing. indivual.

This is where the royal team is stationed, and there are guards outside. It is hard for Taoxi to imagine how such an old woman came in.

Yes, standing in front of her was an old woman with a cane and a wrinkled face.

Jiang Wenwen used this look when traveling around the world.

She spoke with an old voice, "Little girl, don't you recognize me? That year when there was a famine in the countryside, I fled to your village as an old woman, and you gave me food."

Taoxi leaned closer and took a closer look, and only then did she have a vague impression, "It's you, old lady? Why did you appear here?"

Jiang Wenwen chuckled, revealing his toothless mouth, "I smelled a familiar smell, so I sneaked in. Once I tasted it, it was indeed your handicraft!"

Tao Xi stroked her hair, and felt that this old lady was really a miraculous person.Back then, she was a young child in the village, playing with mud under the peach blossom tree. The old woman passed by the door. Seeing her ragged clothes, sallow and emaciated face, Taoxi hurriedly brought her a bowl of water.

The old woman told her that she had escaped from a famine and hadn't eaten for a long time.

Taoxi moved a small bench, stood in front of her stove, and temporarily cooked a pot of pasta for her.The old woman ate it all.

After that day, she came to beg for food almost every day, and Taoxi was practicing her cooking skills, so she satisfied her one by one.After getting acquainted with it, the old lady would comment on the dishes she cooked, and later even gave her a cookbook.

Later, Taoxi became famous all the way in the village by relying on this cookbook, and was recruited by the East Palace, and successfully entered the court. This is a supreme honor for her hometown people.

After Taoxi entered the East Palace, she hadn't seen the old lady again, and she hadn't seen her for more than ten years. Now that she met again, the old lady was still alive, able to walk and move, and speak clearly.

Jiang Wenwen looked at her with a smile, knowing her doubts, she smiled in her heart, but kept a mysterious face, "I got advice from an expert, and I was able to prolong my life, you don't have to be surprised."

Taoxi let out a sigh, and stopped pursuing this issue, and hurriedly put out the buns on a plate, and put them in front of Jiang Wenwen, "Old lady, if you like them, I will give them to you. But if you want to come to me, just be honest. Come looking for it brightly, you don’t need to be sneaky.”

Jiang Wenwen started to eat the steamed stuffed bun cheerfully, and said vaguely, "Isn't it sure you're here?"

While talking, the rest of the people also came in, and they were all curious when they saw a strange old woman wolfing down food there.

Taoxi explained it a bit, saying that she was her mentor, and begged all the cooks not to speak out.

"Taoxi, if you want to keep her and go forward together, you have to talk to the empress and get her consent." The head cook took another look at the old woman who was about to enter the coffin, "But I see that she is too old to work, so it is better to find a place to settle down, this court is not suitable."

Taoxi also knew in her heart that it was impossible to bring her into the court, but she didn't have any acquaintances in this capital city, so she had nowhere to settle.

She looked at Jiang Wenwen in embarrassment, "Grandma, do you have a family?"

"It's okay, I can take care of myself, that is, you finally got out of the palace, and it's not easy for me to see you. It's enough to be with you along the way." Jiang Wenwen put the last Linglong crystal bun in her mouth, reluctant to give up. He licked the corner of his mouth, but it was actually the delicacy that he was reluctant to part with.

"How about this, you go with me to plead with the empress!" Taoxi made up her mind.

Jiang Wenwen originally came back with the intention of playing in the world, so it doesn't matter what arrangements are made, as long as there are delicious and fun things.

So she got up tremblingly. Seeing this, Taoxi hurried forward to hold her arm.

A piece of peach blossoms fell slowly, and landed on Jiang Wenwen's toes, causing a scorching pain, like being dropped by a heavy iron.

It's this damn peach blossom again!The corners of Jiang Wenwen's eyes twitched. From the first time she saw this little cook, she couldn't touch her no matter what.Whenever the beautiful cook wants to reach out and touch her, this dead peach blossom will appear suddenly, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

So Jiang Wenwen avoided Taoxi's outstretched hand like a snake and scorpion, "No, no, I can go by myself."

The burning pain in the toes has just dissipated a lot.

Jiang Wenwen followed behind Taoxi tremblingly, not daring to even think about it.

The Peach Blossom Demon snorted coldly, and continued to sleep in the peach hairpin on Taoxi's hair in peace.

All the way to Fengluan, Yanmo was instructing the maidservants to remove the food and bowls, while Fengluan was quiet.

"Aunt Yanmo, I have something to ask the Empress Dowager, can I tell you?" Taoxi stepped forward and said respectfully.

After Yan Mo ordered the last little maid, she turned around and looked at the two people in front of her, "The empress is not here, what can you discuss with me."

Taoxi pointed to the old woman next to her, "This is a teacher who once benevolent to me, and she came here today. Her family has no relatives, and now she is old and has nowhere to go. I wonder if I can..."

Jiang Wenwen stood on the spot, staring at the woman with gentle eyebrows and eyes in front of him, already fascinated.

That's right, it's her.

So before Taoxi finished speaking, Jiang Wenwen suddenly took out a handkerchief and began to cover her face and cry, "Good-hearted girl, please take pity on me..."

Yan Mo frowned slightly, looking at the crying old woman, she couldn't help lowering her eyebrows, "Enough, this is before Fengjia, how can you let you cry unrestrainedly."

It seems that this trick won't work, and this stern look has not changed at all!

Enduring the numbness and pain in his toes, Jiang Wenwen staggered a step forward, knelt down suddenly, and then hugged Yan Mo's thigh violently, "Please take care of me!"

Taoxi's lips turned pale with fright, "Old lady, don't lose your face in front of Aunt Yanmo! She is a big celebrity in front of the Empress!"

Jiang Wenwen didn't care, and hugged Yan Mo's thigh tightly.

The gentle expression on Yan Mo's face finally broke, God, she has lived so long, she has never encountered such a crazy thing.

But the other party was an old lady, so I couldn't just kick her away.

Yan Mo looked at Tao Xi, holding back her collapse, "Get her away quickly."

But this snake just wants her to fix it!

Liu Qinglan and the beauty queen just went for a walk by the stream to digest food after dinner, and she was still holding a bunch of dogtail grass in her hand, chatting and laughing with Xie Xuanzhao happily.

Xie Xuanzhao's face was calm and composed, but the smile and expression in her eyes betrayed her true intentions at this time.

The two walked along together, and soon saw the farce in front of Fengluan.

Liu Qinglan smelled the familiar smell of the snake, and then looked at the old woman who was kneeling on the ground and tightly hugging the girl's thigh. The dog's tail in her hand drooped down, unable to move.

Xie Xuanzhao frowned in confusion, and said indifferently, "What's going on?"

Yanmo's gentle smile in the past could no longer be squeezed out, she could only helplessly look at the empress, with the word "help" written in her eyes.

Taoxi, on the other hand, held Jiang Wenwen, who was motionless, while looking at the master of the harem tremblingly.

Jiang Wenwen is talking to Liu Qinglan with demon power: "Leave me, hurry up!"

Liu Qinglan: ... Let me be quiet for a moment.

Jiang Wenwen: Just repay me for helping you last night!

Liu Qinglan: Let me be quiet for a while.

Jiang Wenwen: Otherwise, I will change back to my original shape and climb onto the queen's bed every night!

Liu Qinglan withdrew her thoughts, looked surprised, and rushed over quickly, grabbed Jiang Wenwen's arm, and called out a name that was enough for Jiang Wenwen to vomit blood: "Mother!"

The author has something to say: Jiang Wenwen: Do you know, my name was chosen by her, and she deserves to be a cultural person.

Yanmo & younger sister: Get out of here.
