Honey in oil gl [gourmet]

The bright peach blossoms in the small courtyard stretched sideways towards the carved door, and the morning dew on the petals fell from the branches amidst the creaking sound of the door being opened.

The carved lacquered wooden door was pushed open by two slender white hands, revealing a pair of soft-soled satin shoes inlaid with beads and embroidered with lotus.

A young woman came out of the room slowly, her eyes flashed brightly, and her gestures showed a rare air of everyone.

Qinghe took two steps, broke off the peach blossom branch that had been stretched out into the aisle, put it on the end of her nose and sniffed lightly, absent-minded in such a spring scene, frowned, thinking about the news that she came to see her yesterday The words of her father-in-law Li Yongfu.

In the past two years, Emperor Wen of Wei has aged rapidly, suffered from serious illnesses, and his temper has become more and more eccentric.

After Qinghe returned from Longcheng two years ago, thanks to Mu Gui's personal letter and personal keepsake, he was spared the punishment of Emperor Wei Wen's anger.She had never seen the content of that letter, and she didn't know why Emperor Wei Wen occasionally called her into the palace, and asked her about Mu Gui's exile in detail.

Such an anomaly, on the contrary, attracted the attention of the old lady.

She even mistook Qinghe as Wei Wendi's new love, and called her to her side to look at her silently.Unexpectedly, Qinghe's knowledge of advances and retreats, etiquette, and good cooking skills won the favor of the old queen when they got along with each other, and even started to match her with Emperor Wei Wen, until Emperor Wei Wen explained their relationship dumbfounded. It's a pity that he often takes Qinghe with him, as if he regards her as his grandson.

Holding the peach blossom branch in his hand, he walked all the way to the hall, and inserted the peach blossoms into the vase in the hall. Qinghe was playing with the delicate and beautiful peach blossoms, while asking the attendant who was waiting beside him.

"How is the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang?"

"The Queen Mother is in good health, and Miss Xiang was taken by His Royal Highness the Eleventh to catch bugs yesterday."

As soon as Xiang'er was mentioned, the corners of Qing He's eyes curled up, but he still held back his smile and asked about Wei Wendi's situation.

"I heard from Xiao Lizi next to the emperor that someone from outside seemed to find the emperor yesterday."

Those outside are people from the Northwest Battlefield.

The people who passed on the news to her in the palace were the little father-in-laws and maids who had been favored by Mr. Chen when he was still in the palace. Now Qinghe holds his tokens and they are used by her instead.

When Qing He heard it, she not only beamed with joy.

He didn't even eat breakfast, so he hurriedly sent someone to prepare a carriage and enter the palace.

When she arrived at the door of the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Wei Wen was still reviewing the memorials, she just waited for a while outside the door and got the pass in.

Emperor Wen didn't know what good news he got, his expression was like a spring breeze, the evil spirits on his body disappeared, and he became much closer.Seeing Qinghe coming in, he smiled and waved to her to signal her to come forward.

"You seem to have said that you regard Mu Gui as a relative?"

Qinghe didn't know what Emperor Wen meant, so he nodded slightly.

"Then if we meet again, are you happy?"

"Really?" Qinghe couldn't hold back for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she knelt down neatly, and quickly pleaded guilty, begging for mercy, "The daughter of the people is guilty, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

"No, no." Wei Wendi waved his hand impatiently, "Probably she will return to Beijing today. You sisters haven't seen each other for several years. It's human nature to miss you. What's the crime?"

Qing He buckled her head twice, got up, and asked cautiously: "Then...why did the Emperor summon Qing He?"

"I'm going out of the palace to greet the army's triumphant return. The queen mother was still talking about calling you into the palace two days ago, and Xiao Xiang'er can't keep seeing her mother. After her birthday this month, let's take her out of the palace. "

—What does that mean?

Qing He was overjoyed, thanked him quickly, and was about to go out, but was stopped by Emperor Wei Wen.

"I will spend the night in Yongshou Palace tonight, and I will call someone to call you here tomorrow morning."

Along the way, Qing He walked in a hurry, almost holding up the hem of her skirt to run, complaining that she wore such a cumbersome and complicated skirt in the morning, if she knew it earlier, she would have come in light clothes, and now she could walk faster.

"Miss Xu, walk slowly, the slave will not be able to keep up—"

The little eunuch followed behind Qinghe panting, struggling to catch up.He was supposed to lead the way, but at this moment, Qing He was left behind, chasing after him exhaustedly.

"Little eunuch, why don't you go back first, I won't get lost on the way to Yongshou Palace with my eyes closed."

The father-in-law thought so, thanked him, turned around and left in a hurry.

Qinghe took a shortcut and crossed the path among the rockery, and for a while did not see a figure flashing past in a hurry, the two collided and rolled into a ball on the ground.

Qing He gritted her teeth and resisted screaming, but a thin and harsh familiar female voice still sounded in her ears.

"How dare you!"

Almost as soon as the words fell, the two met their eyes.

"It's you?"

There was a bit of undisguised disgust in Anya's eyes.

The two had been in contact with each other many times in the palace in the past few years. Anya never imagined that a commoner's daughter would be pardoned by the queen mother, but when walking in the palace, she didn't need to salute when she saw the prince or princess. parted ways.

Ever since she got the news of Wei Jun's great victory half a month ago, Anya had bribed the little eunuch next to Emperor Wen. When she learned that the general who had gone out had returned, she could enter Beijing immediately. Met this nasty woman!

"How can you behave badly in the inner court? It's not a big deal if you offend me. What if you accidentally offend the concubine of the harem? Xu Qinghe, is this your first day in the palace? You don't even have these little rules. know?"

Anya rubbed her sore ankle, and was pulled up by the palace servants, with a look of boredom in the corners of her eyes and brows, she brushed the dust off the corner of her light lotus skirt, and said in an impatient tone.

The two confronted each other many times, from retreating to arguing, and now their hearts are calm, Qing He already knew that the best way to foresee Anya was to ignore her.So she saluted and blurted out an apology.

The corners of Anya's eyes showed a bit of complacency, she raised her chin, and said, "I won't argue with you, Cuiwei, hurry up, let's go."

Qinghe watched Anya leave eagerly, and then looked at the direction she was heading, with a little doubt in her heart.But this question was quickly put to the back of her mind. Thinking of Xiao Xiang'er whom she hadn't seen for many days, Qinghe's expression softened, and she raised the corner of her skirt again and started to trot.

The Yongshou Palace was close at hand, Qinghe clutched her chest and panted violently.She wiped the sweat from her forehead, and after a long time she calmed down before ordering someone to notify the Queen Mother. Before the palace servants came out to summon her, Qinghe heard the familiar crisp bell.

Ding ding ding, ding ding ding.

It seems that you can see the round, white and tender little milk baby stumbling towards the door, Qinghe couldn't help it for a while, and jumped towards the main entrance, bumping into a ball of pink, tender, fragrant milk dumplings in his arms, The bumped Qinghe backed up a few steps, stepped back with her right leg, and stabilized her figure.

"Xiang'er~~"

Qinghe held the pink and jade-carved milk doll in her arms and walked around in a circle. Seeing the surprised expression on the palace man's face, she stuck out her tongue slightly, and walked into the inner hall of Yongshou Palace with Xiao Xiang'er in her arms. , with a smile on his face as he walked, he asked softly: "Xiang'er, do you miss your mother?"

"Want to~~~"

Xiang'er is not yet two years old, and she speaks softly, with a baby voice, which is extremely painful. She leans her head towards Qinghe's neck and rubs her head vigorously.The rubbing Qinghe giggled, freeing her hand to rub Xiao Xianger's forehead hair.

Xiao Xiang'er raised her head, pursed her mouth, and gave a loud baji to Qing He's left cheek.Qinghe smiled and pointed to the right side, deliberately pretending to be pitiful and said: "How can you ignore this side?"

So Xiao Xiang'er squeaked again on the right cheek, Qing He, who was dear to her, was full of joy, and her insides softened into a puddle of spring water.

She walked slowly, brought her mouth close to Xiao Xiang'er's ear, nibbled lightly, and said: "Mother misses you too, and her heart aches when she thinks about it."

As soon as the words fell, the soft and soft childish voice sounded again.

"Mother doesn't hurt, Xiang'er will give you a hug~"

Qing He looked down at the little chubby claws rubbing back and forth on her chest, gnawed Xiao Xiang'er's chubby white and tender cheeks dumbfoundedly, stared at her daughter's innocent and aggrieved eyes, straightened her face, and said solemnly : "This is called coming and going, Xiang'er calls and calls for mother, and mother gnaws at Xiang'er."

So Xiao Xiang'er was fooled by her own mother, nodded heavily, and remembered it carefully.

As for the little Xiang'er who grew up and made jokes because of the mother's random words, that's another story.

The Empress Dowager Wenzhuang was just taking a sip of the tea handed over by her aunt next to her, when she saw the mother walking in, talking and laughing. Armored hands waved towards Qinghe's mother and daughter, signaling them to come over.

The Empress Dowager Wenzhuang stretched out both hands towards Xiao Xiang'er, and said with a smile: "Did you forget about Aijia when you have a mother? Who was lying in Aijia's arms just now and said that he wanted to eat Fuyun crisp, crystal Cake, mung bean ice cake..."

"Wow! Wo! Grandmother wants to eat!"

Before the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xiao Xiang'er, who stretched out her chubby lotus arms with delicate silver bracelets, and immediately wanted to switch to the Empress Dowager's embrace.

Qing He leaned close to her ear and whispered, telling her to be polite, and did not deliberately lower her voice. When the Queen Mother Wen Zhuang heard that she had taken Xiao Xiang'er, she took a piece of soft ice cake and slowly put it on Xiao Xiang'er's mouth. Hey, the mother at the side wiped the skirt of Xiao Xiang'er's clothes with a handkerchief.

The Empress Dowager Wen Zhuang said casually: "Such a young child, what to do with these rules, as long as she is happy, isn't it, Xiao Xiang'er...is it delicious?"

"Monkey... eat..."

Xiao Xiang'er raised her chin covered with crumbs and raised it towards Qinghe, holding half a cake in her hand, waved her fat paw at Qinghe, and said milkily: "This is delicious, Mother, mother, let me eat—”

Qing He looked left and right, all the elders around the palace looked at her with kind smiles, Qing He half squatted down a little embarrassed, moved to Xiao Xiang'er's hand and finished eating the cake in two or three bites, She was about to get up when she was caught off guard by Xiao Xiang'er's palm, which instantly covered her face with fine particles.

Sneaky laughter rang out all around.

Qing He wiped her face, and saw Xiao Xiang'er raised her face, staring at her with round eyes.

"Mother, mother, come and go, right?"

"Ok?"

"I want to eat too!"

"..."

Something doesn't seem right...
