Didn't Love You Enough

The next morning, Nanny Lin woke up.Xili Palace is far away from here, she has to hurry up.

"Mother Lin, you are so early today!" Yushuang got up early, and when she saw Mother Lin, she stepped forward to salute.

"That's right, the palace is assigning newcomers today, and I'm going to bring one back. I'm slow, so it's better to go there earlier." Nanny Lin said, she collected such a large amount of money yesterday, if something goes wrong, she won't I know how to explain like that person.

"Newcomer, didn't you say that you are not planning to recruit people this year?" Yushuang asked.

Mother Lin thought about it and said to Yushuang, "You saw it yesterday too. Mr. Yuanfu came to see me. In fact, he asked me to take care of his distant relatives. He wanted someone to come to us. Yuanfu is by His Royal Highness's side. It’s not easy for me to refuse. It’s fine for you to know about it yourself, don’t tell anyone else, and help the mother take care of it on weekdays.”

"Understood, Nanny, I won't talk nonsense." Yushuang also knew that Nanny Lin trusted her, and replied. "Mommy, have you had your breakfast yet?"

"It's too late, let's talk about it when I come back. Yushuang, help me tidy up the single room next to my room, and replace the bedding with new ones. This time it's a Shuanger palace attendant, so it's not convenient to talk to you guys." Live together." Yushuang, Yulong and Yuling lived in the same room, although there was still a bed, but it was obviously not suitable to live together.

"No. Nanny, go quickly, I will clean up."

When Mother Lin arrived at Xili Palace, it was just over [-] o'clock, and she didn't dare to stop along the way.

"Mrs. Lin, why are you here?" Mrs. Xi stepped forward to support her, she knew Mrs. Lin.

"I, I know that this is the person trained by your Nanny Xi, and I'm going to pick someone to go back. I've been a little busy recently. The one you trained must be good." Madam Lin complimented Madam Xi .

"Haha, who doesn't know you, Nanny Lin, you can send someone to tell me. I'll send the person there directly, why do I need you to come?" Xi Nanny knew that Lin Nanny was from the empress's palace. , not daring to offend, quickly accompanied him with a smile. "I haven't started the distribution here yet, Sister Lin, you can choose first."

"That's so embarrassing, haha." Nanny Lin was not polite, and looked at the three palace servants behind Mammy Xi.

Lin Jiabao was small and was in the first row.Those big watery eyes, and a pair of dimples are easy to recognize.

Nanny Xi watched as Nanny Lin kept looking at Lin Jiabao. "Mrs. Lin is a good place to go. I am blessed to be chosen."

Nanny Lin pointed to the row of Lin Jiabao, "Everyone of you, tell me your name and how old you are."

"Anping starts with you." Nanny Xi said to the first one in line.

Soon it was Lin Jiabao's turn, "Slave Lin Anzhu, he is 12 years old this year." Lin Jiabao has now been renamed Lin Anzhu, and they are all from the An family.

"It's also Lin, what a coincidence! Do you know how to cook?" Mother Lin asked.

"Go back to Nanny, I know a little bit." Lin Jiabao replied.

"Haha, let's do this. I don't want to pick any more. Madam Xi has delayed you for so long, so you can make arrangements." Madam Lin beckoned Lin Jiabao to come over.

"It's okay, don't delay, does Madam Lin want to pick another one?" Nanny Xi said kindly.

"No need, I still have something to do, I'll go back now. Do your best, thank you." Nanny Lin waved her hand.

"Then Nanny Lin, go slowly." Nanny Xi registered Lin Anzhu's whereabouts, and let him go with Nanny Lin.

The remaining palace attendants watched them leave with envy.

After leaving Xili Palace, Mother Lin carefully looked at Lin Anzhu who was following her, "Anzhu, what's your real name? Where are you from? Where do you live?"

"If you go back to Mammy, the slave's real name is Lin Jiabao, he is from Pei County, and his family is in Linjia Village not far from Pei County." Lin Jiabao is now called Lin Anzhu, but he still likes the name his parents gave him.But Mammy Xi said calling An Zhu Yaji was nice.

"Jiabao, it's a good name. However, there are palace rules in the palace, so we can only be called Anzhu from now on." Nanny Lin checked the information to make sure she didn't make a mistake.

"An Zhu understands." An Zhu nodded obediently.

"Good boy! Don't be afraid. Our surname is Lin, so we are destined. What we are going to now is the imperial dining room of Yongshou Palace. Many. There are three maids over there who work with you, and they are all easy to get along with."

"Mommy, I will study hard and work hard." Lin Jiabao said with a small face.

"Well, good boy." Nanny Lin patted his head.

After walking through the long palace road, Nanny Lin brought Lin Jiabao to the kitchen of the imperial room.

"Mother Lin, you are back." Yulong stepped forward and said, looking at Lin Jiabao who was behind the mother.

"Mommy, mommy, is this newcomer?" Yu Ling also asked curiously.

"That's right, this is Anzhu, the new servant from our Royal Dianfang." Nanny Lin introduced to Lin Jiabao, "This is Yushuang, Yulong, and Yuling."

"Hello, sister Yushuang, hello, sister Yulong, and hello, sister Yuling." Lin Jiabao greeted them one by one.

"Haha, I'm finally not the youngest. How old are you, An Zhu?" Yu Ling asked.

"Twelve years old." Lin Jiabao opened his big eyes and looked at Yu Ling.

"12 years old, you look so small and cute! Oh, you still have dimples." Yu Ling pinched her little face while talking.

"Okay, don't bully the newcomer, let's go to work. Yushuang, take An Zhu to his room to put down his things and settle down." Mother Lin instructed Yushuang.

"promise."

Yushuang took Lin Jiabao out of the kitchen and came to the house in the back row.He took him to a single room, "This will be your room from now on. Put your things away first, see if there is anything missing and tell me?"

Lin Jiabao looked at his room, it wasn't big, but it was very clean.There is a small bed and a wardrobe in the room.There is a table and a chair by the window.There are beautiful patterns on these furniture, other things are also complete, and the bedding is also new.

Lin Jiabao said happily: "The room is very good, there are no shortages."

"Then put your things away, and I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here." Yushuang said, also liking An Zhu's cuteness.

After getting acquainted with the environment, Lin Jiabao and Nanny Lin had lunch together. The lunch here is very rich and delicious.

"We have a kitchen here, and we all go to the big kitchen to get the ingredients and cook them. Unlike some palaces, the dishes brought back are cold." Yuling said proudly.

"An Zhu, eat more." Yushuang gave him some sliced ​​meat and said to An Zhu.

"Yeah, thank you Sister Yushuang." Lin Jiabao thanked her with puffy cheeks.

Everyone laughed when they saw his cute appearance.

In the afternoon, Lin Jiabao entered the imperial room.After washing her hands, she watched Nanny Lin making snacks.

Nanny Lin let him watch first, but didn't let him do anything.While doing it, he explained it to him.

Yu Taki pulled Yu Shuang aside, "Look, An Zhu has only been here for a day, and you have been compared to him."

Yu Taki was already very jealous of Yushuang being able to make dim sum under Nanny Lin's hands-on teaching, but there was no way, Yushuang's talent for making dim sum was better than hers, and she was more convinced.

How could this Shuang'er, who just came here on the first day, be liked by everyone, Nanny Lin also attached great importance to it, the face that looked at An Zhu was so dazzling.

Yushuang knew Yulong's competitive nature, so she ignored her provocation.Concentrate on doing your own thing.

Seeing Yushuang ignoring her, Yulong snorted.

Nanny Lin is making milk cake, while Yuling is helping.Lin Jiabao also watched attentively from the side, carefully writing down the production steps.

First separate the yolk and egg white of the egg, then pour in the sugar, and beat until the milky yellow state without sugar particles.Then add milk to the egg yolk and stir well for later use.Add salt to the egg whites and beat for a while, then add sugar in 2 batches and beat until foamy.Add the egg whites to the egg yolks in 2 batches, stir quickly and evenly without circling.Brush butter on the petal-shaped mold of milk cake, and then pat a ring of sugar.Pour the egg batter into the mold until it is [-]% full, stick the egg batter inside the mold with your thumb and draw a circle around the edge of the mold.Steam it in a steamer for a quarter of an hour.

"Do you understand, it's not difficult, just do it a few times. This is one of the empress's favorite snacks, and I often make it." Mother Lin asked An Zhu.

"Well, I've written it all down." Lin Jiabao nodded.

The air in the kitchen is filled with the milky aroma of milk cake, and it will be steamed in a while.

Yu Ling took it out and put it on the table to cool down, and then carefully unmoulded it.

"Be careful when unmolding, don't damage it. You can't present the one with a missing petal like this. It must be in a complete and beautiful shape." Yu Ling gave him a missing petal. Look, "If it looks ugly like this, we can only eat it ourselves, haha. Let's do it here!" Then he stuffed it into An Zhu's mouth.

"Don't listen to Yu Ling's nonsense, there are quotas for these ingredients. If there are too many bad ones, it won't work." Sister Lin corrected with a smile.

"It's so fragrant, so soft, so delicious." Lin Jiabao immediately fell in love with this rich and milky snack.The eyes became a curved line.

Lin Jiabao thought that if he learned it in the future, he could make it for his family after leaving the palace, and they would definitely like it.

In this way, Lin Jiabao gradually adapted to life in the palace.He was very lucky to be in the imperial room, the nanny treated him very well, and the maids and sisters also took good care of him.

Unknowingly, he has been in the palace for more than half a year, and he has learned several kinds of dim sum during these six months.

Nanny Lin often took him to deliver snacks to the empress, and on several occasions he was rewarded with silver.Sometimes I would meet His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince especially loves dim sum, and he is very generous, and will be rewarded every time.Lin Jiabao will always save it, put it in the purse embroidered for him by his second sister, and now there is still a monthly payment of one tael of silver, Lin Jiabao is sure to save a lot of money when he leaves the palace, and he can It is very happy to think about building a big house for the family, and the whole family lives together.

"An Zhu, are you ready? Let's go." Mother Lin asked.

Nanny Lin is still very satisfied with An Zhu's well-behaved performance in the past six months.After that person's suggestion, now every time she goes to deliver dim sum, she will bring Anzhu with her.

"Okay, mother." Lin Jiabao brought the food box and came over.

"Okay, Yushuang will go with me, and Yulong and Yuling will stay."

Nanny Lin explained, and left with Yushuang and An Zhu.

"Mommy is becoming more and more eccentric now, and she takes An Zhu to the Empress's place every time." Yu Long said jealously, hearing that he could often meet His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

"Anyway, it's good that we have our share of the reward!" Yu Ling thought nonchalantly, she could certainly show her face by going to the Empress's side, but every time she was trembling, it would be fine if she didn't go.

Seeing Yu Ling's unpromising appearance, Yu Long didn't bother to talk to her.

In the main hall of Yongshou Palace, the queen was chatting with her two sons.The queen looked at her two sons with pride in her heart.

The eldest prince Xuanyuan Han Chenggui is the crown prince, he is stable and sophisticated in his actions, and is often praised by the emperor for his excellence.The second prince, Xuanyuan Hanqi, has a brave and resolute personality, and is deeply loved by the emperor.Because of them, her position in the palace is also very firm and cannot be shaken.

The two brothers are also deeply brotherly, and Xuanyuan Hanqi worships his imperial brother even more.

"I'm really tired today, I'm starving to death. The snacks in my mother's harem are really delicious." Xuanyuan Hanqi had a straightforward temper and ate the snacks.

"Look at you child, eat slowly. There's still a lot, I'll let the imperial order room serve some more." The queen looked at the second prince lovingly.

"Second brother, don't be so reckless next time. General Li is a person who has been on the battlefield, and the gap between you is too big. You should practice your basic skills first, and what should you do if you get injured in a hasty competition?"

"Hee hee, I just want to make gestures with him, anyway he will let me." Xuanyuan Hanqi said indifferently.

"What's the point of releasing water like that, the enemy will make you mess around if you really want to go to the battlefield." The second emperor's temper is really, thinking of the previous life...

"I also want to go to the battlefield, so let me go with you this time. I'm 15, and Brother Huang has been there earlier at my age."

Xuanyuan Hanqi begged for the Tao.

Xuanyuan Hancheng refused: "No! In the future, you will have the opportunity to make contributions. This time, you should stay in the palace and stay with the emperor and the queen. The emperor said that you will go to court together next month. You can also learn to help your father a little bit, so you can get married next year."

According to reports from the spies in the border town, the barbarians are ready to move, and they are likely to go south.He is also preparing for an expedition recently, and he is very sure that he can wipe out the barbarians, but this time he will never bring his second brother with him.Xuanyuan Hanqi's death in the previous life had dealt a heavy blow to him and his father, queen and queen, so he must not take any risks this time.

"Your brother is right, the battlefield is not a good place. You are not young anymore, so share some of your father's burden." The queen agreed with the prince's words.

"Okay, okay. Is there any more snacks? It's so delicious." Xuanyuan Hanqi got a headache when he thought of those things, and quickly changed the subject.

"It'll be fine when the queen mother betroths the second emperor brother, and he can accept his heart." Xuanyuan Hancheng said to the queen mother.In the previous life, the second imperial brother died young and left no heirs.This time, I hope he can marry a wife and have children sooner, so as to change his fate in the previous life.

"It's still early, I just visited a few houses, I'll wait for your father to make a decision." The empress still wanted her second son to get married later.After all, the prince is poisoned now, and it will take some time to recuperate.It would be bad if the second son gave birth to the grandson of the emperor first, and she didn't want any barriers between them.

At this moment, Nanny Zhou, who was beside the queen, led Nanny Lin, Lin Jiabao and Yushuang into the hall with cakes.

After Xuanyuan Hancheng came in from Lin Jiabao, he kept staring at him, his eyes wishing to stick to him.But Lin Jiabao kept his head down, and didn't notice his gaze.

In order not to be seen as strange, I squeezed a piece of snack from the plate brought by Lin Jiabao and put it in my mouth, "Nurse Lin in the mother's harem is really a treasure. The cakes and snacks are delicious. I will miss them if I don't eat them for a few days." !"

"If I like you, I often come to my mother's place. It's not a big deal, or I can send Yuan Fu to Nanny Lin." The queen is also very satisfied with Nanny Lin, "Go to Nanny Zhou to receive the reward later."

"The queen mother has rewarded me, so I can't be stingy anymore. Yuan Fu..." Yuan Fu knew how to go forward to give the reward to Nanny Lin.

Nanny Lin brought Lin Jiabao and Yushuang to thank her.

Nanny Lin, Yushuang, and Lin Jiabao returned to the imperial room.

"There are rewards again today, both the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Jiabao happily announced the good news.

"Really, I'm so happy! An Zhu, every time you go with Nanny Lin, you are rewarded a lot! You are really lucky." Yu Ling said happily.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Nanny Lin. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even praised Nanny Lin today." Lin Jiabao was embarrassed by Yu Ling's words.

Nanny Lin divided up the rewards she got.What the empress rewarded was silver fruit, and each person got two.His Royal Highness rewarded golden melon seeds, and everyone could get one.

The little golden melon seeds are very finely made, and Lin Jiabao likes them more and more the more he looks at them in the palm of his hand.This is the third golden melon seeds he has received, and he thought he would ask sister Yushuang to make a pouch tonight.In the past six months, he has gained a lot, and his small purse can hardly hold it.
