Didn't Love You Enough

On the Qiqiao Festival on the seventh day of July, everyone in the Yudian room was very busy.In addition to the cakes to be made for the empress, they also need to make a lot of Qiaoguo on this day, which will be used as festive cakes sent by the empress to the palaces during the Qiqiao Festival.

The method of Qiaoguo is: put the sugar in a pot to melt it into syrup, then mix it with flour and sesame seeds, mix it well, spread it on the table and thin it, let it cool, cut it into long squares with a knife, and fold it into a shuttle-shaped noodle. Embryo, into the deep-fry until golden Serve.Although it is not difficult to do, but the amount of work is relatively large, Lin Jiabao and the others started to work early in the morning.

"An Zhu, don't be too busy, and I will take the bird's nest cake to the Queen's first." Nanny Lin handed a food box to An Zhu.

"No. Ma'am, I'll be right here." Lin Jiabao put down what he was doing and went to wash his hands.

"Nurse Lin, take me with you." Yu Long begged to Nanny Lin.Today is Qiqiao Festival, she specially put on the exquisite purse that she had embroidered for a long time before.I hope to show my face in front of the empress.

"No need, just go with An Zhu and me. You three, hurry up and make Qiaoguo." Nanny Lin ignored her request, how could she not know what Yulong was thinking.

Yu Long watched Nanny Lin take An Zhu away, feeling aggrieved in his heart.

When Mother Lin took An Zhu to the main hall of Yongshou Palace, she saw Mother Zhou waiting outside the hall.

"Mother Lin, you are here. The Empress and His Royal Highness are here, waiting for your snacks." Mother Zhou winked at Mother Lin.

"This is An Zhu, right? I heard from Nanny Lin that your craftsmanship is pretty good now." Nanny Zhou looked at An Zhu with a smile, she was very satisfied with his appearance, and thought that she should be able to do business.

"Hello, Nanny Zhou." Lin Jiabao stepped forward to say hello to Nanny Zhou, and smiled shyly after hearing her compliment.

Nanny Lin walked in front, and suddenly bent down while clutching her stomach, "Oh, why does my stomach hurt so suddenly..."

Lin Jiabao nervously helped Nanny Lin up, "Mommy, what's wrong with you?"

"Hey, my stomach is not feeling well all of a sudden, oh... An Zhu, you and Nanny Zhou go in. It's too impolite for me to see the Empress and His Highness the Crown Prince like this." Nanny Lin said to An Zhu.

"Then what should you do, mother, is it important?" Lin Jiabao asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. I'll just go to Gong's room. You can go quickly." Nanny Lin said.

"No." Lin Jiabao entered the main hall with Nanny Zhou, carrying the food box.

In the main hall, the queen and the crown prince were sitting and talking, when the queen saw An Zhu coming in with a snack, Lin Jiabao knelt down to salute first. "An Zhu in the imperial room, kowtow to the empress and His Royal Highness the prince."

"Excuse me." The queen sized him up carefully.Indeed, as Nanny Zhou said, he is a child with a pleasant appearance.

The queen saw the magpie-shaped pastry on the plate, "What kind of pastry is this? The shape fits the occasion."

"My empress, this is bird's nest cake. It's made with maltose, crushed bird's nest, sugar, and cake powder. It tastes sweet. Today is the Qiqiao Festival, so I specially used a magpie mold." Lin Jiabao replied carefully.

The queen saw that he answered in an orderly manner without panic and timidity, and she liked him a little more.

Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Lin Jiabao's cute little face, "How long have you been in the palace, what do you think of the palace, but are you still used to it?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, Anzhu has been in the palace for more than a year. He is used to the life in the palace. The palace is very good, and I also learned the skill of making dim sum with Madam Lin."

Xuanyuan Hancheng asked again: "Where are you from? Where do you live? Who else is there in the family? Do you have brothers and sisters?"

"An Zhu is from Pei County, Xuzhou, and his family lives in Linjia Village not far from Pei County. There are parents, an older brother, two older sisters, and a younger brother and younger sister." Lin Jiabao answered truthfully.

Xuanyuan Hancheng actually knew what Lin Jiabao said.Looking at his baby, who opened and closed his small mouth to speak, his heart was full of fire.

"Your family's descendants are prosperous, that's great." Xuanyuan Hancheng said emphatically in the four words of descendants' prosperity, with no deep meaning.

After listening to the prince's words, the queen nodded with satisfaction, "Your mother is a lucky one."

"Haha, you are also a blessed one. Take it and reward you." Xuanyuan Hancheng handed a wishful jade pendant to Lin Jiabao.

Lin Jiabao stared at Yu Pei and was stunned.

"His Royal Highness rewarded you, thank you soon." Nanny Zhou pulled An Zhu.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Lin Jiabao took the jade pendant and smiled sweetly.This is the first time he has received a reward alone.

The queen and Nanny Zhou looked at each other, knowing that the prince was satisfied. "Today's pastry is very good, Madam Zhou, take him down to receive the reward."

"promise."

Seeing the Prince's satisfied expression, the queen felt relieved, "That's all."

"Yes, queen mother, he is the only one. Thank you queen mother for finding such a good person. He is a little younger, but he is also better at teaching." Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at his mother gratefully.

"It's fine if you like it. I'll talk to your father later. If there's no problem, I'll make a decree."

Lin Jiabao came out of the main hall of Yongshou Palace, saw Mother Lin waiting there, and stepped forward quickly. "Mother, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better. How about you? Are you afraid to go alone?" Lin Nanny asked.

"I'm not afraid. The empress praised the cakes today! The empress and His Royal Highness also asked me a lot of questions. Nanny is a gift from the Empress, and this jade pendant is a gift from His Royal Highness." Lin Jiabao said Nanny Zhou gave him a bag of reward money and gave it to Nanny Lin, and showed her the jade pendant.

Nanny Lin looked at the jade pendant and returned it to him. "His Royal Highness rewarded you, so you should take it well."

After the queen and the emperor mentioned it, the emperor also felt that this method was feasible.It took less than two days to send someone to investigate Lin Anzhu's background.Regarding Lin Anzhu's life from childhood to adulthood, everyone in the family, relatives, neighbors, etc., and even the situation of his family's ancestors for several generations have been investigated clearly.

"Zitong, this time the candidate is good." The emperor praised, the Lin family has been farming for generations, and their net worth is clean.This year, the eldest brother of the Lin family has passed the examination of scholar, with excellent grades, and he is very likely to pass the examination in the coming year.The emperor has always liked talents, "I will be an official in the future, and this background is not too bad."

"Yes, Your Majesty. This family is really prosperous. You see, Mrs. Zhang is really blessed to have a pair of twins." The queen was also very satisfied.

"Look, Zi Tong, the eldest daughter of the Lin family also gave birth to twins last year." The emperor was also very satisfied.

"It would be great if we could also give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for our Cheng'er." The queen sighed.

The emperor thought that no dragon and phoenix twins had been born in the royal family of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. "If the dragon and the phoenix are really good, I will definitely reward him heavily haha!"

The queen took a look, and the fifth day of August is a good day.So I arranged for the nanny below to arrange it.

In the evening of that day, a decree from the Empress Dowager broke the tranquility in Yu Dian's room.

Lin Jiabao was completely blindfolded when he heard the empress's edict.

"An Zhu, thank you soon. Tomorrow morning, a special nanny will come to pick you up." Zhou nanny came to read the empress's edict in person.

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness." Lin Jiabao's face turned pale, and he knelt down to thank him.

"Nurse Zhou, look at this kid so happy and silly, haha." Nanny Lin helped An Zhu up, and said to Nanny Zhou with a smile.

Nanny Zhou didn't care too much, and before leaving, she kindly reminded her, "You should tidy up and prepare well at night, and don't keep the nunnies waiting tomorrow."

Mother Zhou and the person who delivered the decree left.Hearing a wow, Lin Jiabao burst into tears.

"Mommy, I'm afraid..." Lin Jiabao burst into tears as he spoke.

The three of Yushuang and the others also surrounded him, congratulated him and told him not to cry.

"This is a great thing, why are you crying, no one else can ask for it!" Yu Taki said sourly.

Yu Ling patted Yu Taki, "Stop talking, look how sad An Zhu is crying."

"Mommy, am I not going to be able to leave the palace anymore. Huh..." Lin Jiabao didn't know what to do as a servant of His Highness the Crown Prince, but he had a vague feeling that he would never be able to leave the palace again.

"I miss my family so much, I want to go out of the palace and reunite with them in the future, they are all waiting for me!" Lin Jiabao cried out of breath.

"An Zhu, don't cry. You will be His Royal Highness's person from now on, good days are to come. You may not be able to leave the palace, and your family may not be able to see you either." Mother Lin stroked his back, While comforting.

"Yes, An Zhu. Don't cry, your eyes are going to cry." Yushuang also comforted softly, and reached out to get a cup of tea for An Zhu, and the teapot was cold even after touching it. "Tamataki, add some hot water for me."

"An Zhu, listen to Mother Lin. This is the imperial edict of the empress, and it cannot be changed. You can only accept it. If you want to resist the edict, not only will your own life be lost, but your family will also be hurt. You Think about it for yourself." Mother Lin told him a little harshly.

"Wuuuuuuuuu... Nanny, I see. Uuuuuuuuu..." Lin Jiabao also knew that what Lin Naiyu said was right, but he couldn't stop his tears.

Yutaki came over with the tray, put the teapot on, and went to the place where the water was boiled, the more he thought about it, the more jealous he became.Why, An Zhu is so lucky!Isn't it because Nanny Lin often took him to show his face to the empress? If she was the one who brought him, maybe she would be the lucky one today!

The more Yu Taki thought about it, the more unwilling he became. Looking at the boiling water, a vicious thought came to his mind, if An Zhu's face was ruined...

"Here comes the tea." Yu Taki carefully stepped forward with a tray full of boiling water, and when he got in front of An Zhu, pretending to be careless, he tilted his body and splashed the tea on An Zhu's face .

"Oh! Be careful." Everyone pulled An Zhu away one after another.Lin Jiabao also subconsciously blocked it with his hands.

"An Zhu, are you okay, where did you get burned?" Nanny Lin looked at Lin Anzhu nervously.

"Mommy, my hand hurts." The back of Lin Jiabao's right hand was red and swollen.

"Rinse with cold water quickly, and bring the scald medicine." Nanny Lin dragged An Zhu to the pool.

"I'm going to get the scald medicine!" Yu Ling ran out quickly.

When Mother Lin saw Yu Taki falling to the ground, she stepped forward and slapped her. "Tamataki, what are you doing!"

Yu Taki covered her face, in disbelief that Mammy had never hit her, "Mama, I... I didn't do it on purpose, I sprained my ankle." Yu Taki said with a sob.

Nanny Lin is an old nanny in the palace, will she not be able to tell the difference if she really flops?This Yu Taki actually had such vicious thoughts, he might not be able to stay.

Yushuang, who was helping Anzhu rinse off, also looked at Yutaki with disappointed eyes.

"Here comes the burn ointment." Yu Ling ran back with the ointment.

Nanny Lin carefully applied the medicine to An Zhu, but luckily the injury was not serious, only a little red and swollen, no blisters.

"An Zhu, Nanny will go back with you and help you tidy up. You can't move your hands, and then you should go to bed early and don't think too much about it." Nanny Lin pulled An Zhu away.

"Mommy, I'll help you too." Yushuang also went together, without looking at Yulong who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Mommy, I'm coming too..." Yu Ling followed quickly.Although Yu Ling is childish, she is not stupid, the pot of hot tea just now was obviously splashed on An Zhu's face.Thinking about it, I was really angry, how could Yutaki do this!

In the inner study of the Crown Prince's East Palace, Xuanyuan Hancheng's eyes turned cold when he received the news that Lin Jiabao had burned his hand.When the injury is not very serious, you can relax a little.

"Yuan Fu, have you given all the instructions to the mother-in-law?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked Yuan Fu.

"Go back to His Royal Highness, I have taken care of the two nuns."

"Go again and send the top-level wound medicine." Xuanyuan Hancheng ordered Yuan Fu.

"No." Yuan Fu withdrew.

Xuanyuan Hancheng recruited the hidden guards again, "Tell Mother Lin that the palace maid asked her to deal with it. If she doesn't want to do it, you can help her."

Anyone who hurts his baby will pay the price.

The guard outside the study announced, "Nurse Qiu, please see me."

"Invite her to come in." Qiu Nanny was originally the nanny in charge of her mother's harem, she was nearly forty years old.Rigorous, sophisticated, and resolute.It's all thanks to her that the crown prince's east palace can be handled so cleanly.This made the backyard of the Prince's East Palace a lot more peaceful.Since the crown princess "sick", Xuanyuan Hancheng entrusted her to manage all the affairs in the backyard of the crown prince's east palace.

"Kowtow to His Highness the Crown Prince, this old slave is here to ask you for instructions. Where is the young master Lin bestowed by the Empress Dowager placed in the backyard?" Qiu Momo kowtowed to His Highness the Crown Prince, and said what she wanted.

"Don't arrange it in the backyard, let's put it in Pingle Garden. You have someone redecorate the main hall." Xuanyuan Hancheng had already planned that Pingle Garden is closer to his inner study, and he has lived there since he was reborn. Here, it is relatively clean.The surrounding scenery is also good, and it is far from the backyard.Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't want those women to get close to his treasure.

"Make the dormitory more festive, and you can choose two court ladies and eunuchs with better qualifications, and Pingle Garden will use the small kitchen next to the inner study from now on." Xuanyuan Hancheng continued to order.

As soon as Mother Qiu heard this, she understood that this little master Lin was extraordinary.Now that I have a calculation in my heart, I will have to think a little more about this young master in the future.
