After I wear the book, I use the food to attract the attention of the big guys

Chi Qing didn't make a statement, but only took half a step back, as if disgusted.

"I'll report to you, you took a girl to the ice cellar? This is not something you would do." Zhao Zhuoqi gathered up his sleeves and tidied up his demeanor. A little star in the eyes.

Chi Qing became much more lazy, she didn't even give Zhao Zhuoqu a look, her eyes fell on the censer with curling green smoke steaming: "Records from the Ministry of Culture, you led the second lady of the Dingyuan Houfu to the Tianshu Secretary library. Was it on your whim?"

Zhao Zhuoqu gritted his teeth bitterly, damn it, why can't he speak against her!

The wide sleeves were long and thick, covering her clenched fists.

If she hadn't been wearing a silver-trimmed moiré skirt today, with a tasseled golden phoenix Bu Yao, she would have fought Chi Qing!

The Hall of Mental Cultivation, lingering with the fragrance of winter plums, is comfortable and relaxing.

As for the ice cellar on the other side, Xie Niannian had to be wrapped in a fur-collared cape to stay in it for a while.

After Chi Qing left, she drank the whole cup of good black tea, and she still hasn't come back.Seeing that she was bored, the eunuch next to her tried to sing a ditty to her.Xie Niannian, who had never seen such a situation before, scratched his toes in embarrassment and shook his head repeatedly.

The eunuch did not give up and asked her if there was anything she wanted.Xie Niannian looked at the gate of the ice cave in front of him, was silent for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Sauer Lizi, do you have any?"

The result is really there!

Knowing that Xie Niannian wanted to make some desserts, a group of court ladies and eunuchs finally got busy and got busy.

A long table was brought in, and kitchen utensils and milk borrowed from the Imperial Dining Room were delivered, as well as the lychee seeds gathered from the Imperial Hospital.

Xie Niannian repeated the same trick, let the rubbed Lizi seeds cool, and then cut some fruit cubes.Wait until the ice powder is formed, put it into a celadon bowl, and sprinkle with brightly colored diced fruits.Strain the brewed black tea to remove the tea leaves, pour in the milk, and pour over the ice powder.

Ask the eunuch to send the ice powder into the ice cellar to cool down, and a bowl of deluxe version of real ice powder is ready.

There is still some milk tea left, and the rich milk flavor is mixed with the tea fragrance, which can be recollected repeatedly with the breath.After drinking a cup of milk tea, I think the snow skin mooncake has already been finalized.

Going down to the ice cellar, she opened the food box, picked up a piece and had a look, the tentacles were cold and soft, just right for her mouth.

Before he could speak, the eunuch who was waiting at the side took Xie Niannian's food box and sent it up for her.

Chi Qing's cloak would drag Xie Niannian when she wore it, so she had to carry it a little to avoid getting the cloak stained with muddy water and dust.

As a result, she walked a little slower, and fell behind with a few young maids.

The ice cellar was dark and damp, so when it came out, the sunlight seemed a little glaring.

Xie Niannian lowered his eyes, before he had time to adapt, he was dazzled by an even brighter light.

The pure gold hairpin is inlaid with exquisitely cut gemstones. When the sun shines on it, it looks like a searchlight, and the blazing white light flickers non-stop.

Xie Niannian hurriedly moved his eyes away, only to see clearly the man in brocade clothes under the sunlight.

Tassel step shakes, jeweled gold hairpins, brocade clothes with patterns of gold thread balls, skirts with moiré patterns embossed with silver, and fine jade pendants hung around the waist, making them look even more gaudy.

Dressing up like this would make people look vulgar and bloated, but that person is really eye-catching, with beautiful hair on his temples, red lips smiling, and a pair of phoenix eyes looking forward, making people feel that no matter how gorgeous the clothes are, they can only be worn She foils.

Xie Niannian paused, the original book said that Zhao Zhuoqu, the empress of Dayue, was diligent in governing and loving the people, capable of both civil and military affairs, but she preferred fancy dress.

Coupled with the court ladies and eunuchs who lowered their heads not daring to make a sound, the identity of the person in front of him was already revealed.

"Folk daughters see Your Majesty." Xie Niannian stepped forward to salute, seemingly very well-behaved, but in fact, fireworks were already set off in his heart.

This is her CP!

The strategic empress in the book came into reality, even though Xie Niannian said at the time that she didn't want to get involved, she still couldn't help but take a few more glances at the first meeting.

But didn't Chi Qing say that he was going to discuss matters with the Empress? Why was Zhao Zhuoqu here but she disappeared?

"Well, no courtesy." Zhao Zhuoyu waved his sleeves casually, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked Xie Niannian up and down.

"Where did Chi Qing go?"

Being guessed right, Xie Niannian was a little taken aback.Could it be that he accidentally said what was in his heart again?

"I guessed it at will." After finishing speaking, a piece of snow-white mooncake with golden yellow was thrown into the mouth by Zhao Zhuoqu. She raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little novel: "It's made of glutinous rice, why doesn't it stick to the teeth?"

There is not only one kind of flour for ice skin mooncakes, but a mixture of sticky rice flour, glutinous rice flour, and orange flour to achieve the soft and glutinous taste of glutinous rice without sticky glutinous rice.What's more, it has been chilled, it will be less sweet and greasy, and the shape will be better.

Xie Niannian answered honestly, but his heart was bleeding.

The one with pumpkin puree is a flavor she specially adjusted for Chi Qing. She put less sugar in it, so you can eat one without the other.No matter how much she likes the paper figure, it can only make her heartbroken at this moment.

After eating the mooncakes, Zhao Zhuoju still had some thoughts: "It tastes good, but the sugar is a little less."

She said that there was less sugar, but in fact she picked another piece of the same one, and even sat down to eat it slowly, as if she would not stop eating it.

His heart hurt even more, and Xie Niannian's face almost collapsed.

"Chi Qing." Zhao Zhuoqu took a bite of the mooncake and said proudly, "I took it away."

Seeing the little girl in front of her slightly frowned, she smiled sweetly, more gorgeous than a spring flower: "You are just a commoner, and the difference in status from her is a world of difference. Don't you wonder why she fell in love with you?"

Xie Niannian didn't answer, but lowered his head and looked away, as if in a daze.

"Didn't she tell you? Didn't you doubt it? She's such a simple girl." Zhao Zhuoqi lowered her eyes suddenly, and the corners of her mouth looked a little mocking.

Xie Niannian, who wanted to be out of sight and not in pain, softened his brows and eyes when he heard this.She no longer bowed her head, instead she boldly looked at Zhao Zhuoqu, her voice was neither humble nor overbearing.

"I like her, and I am willing to exchange my sincerity for my sincerity. This is my own business. No matter what the result is, I will not regret it."

"And there is no reason for feelings. She has me in her eyes. If that's the case, why should I blame myself and ask the end?"

This answer seems to have succeeded in pleasing Zhao Zhuoqu, she nodded and smiled lowly, laughing until the tassel steps jingled, then turned around and took another mooncake.

This is the third piece!Xie Niannian was heartbroken, but he had no choice but to think about whether he could go back and do something for Chi Qing again.

"So that's how it is." Zhao Zhuoju seemed to be in a good mood, not only finished eating the mooncakes in his hand, but also asked someone to make a pot of tea again.

"After she went to Xuanzhou, there was no news for several months. If Bai Yan hadn't brought back news, I thought she had buried herself there."

Zhao Zhuoyu's tone was a little soft, with a hint of ridicule: "It turns out that I met an interesting person."

Realizing that Zhao Zhuoqu had mentioned Chi Qing, Xie Niannian immediately pricked up her ears. She was a little surprised, it was clear that Chi Qing was attacked and had to stay in Xuanzhou, how could she still bury herself?What is this saying.

After saying that, the tea was brought up, Zhao Zhuoqu lowered his head and blew away the hazy mist, and took a sip to moisten his throat.Then he continued: "You haven't seen her before, she looks like she's in prison, I always feel that one day she doesn't want to do it, she'll leave her burden and walk away."

"Oh." She narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, looking a little sharp: "She doesn't go to morning court much now."

Xie Niannian was in a daze, before she had time to ask, she saw Zhao Zhuoyu walking beside her and patted her on the shoulder: "Miss Xie, you must stay in Fengjing."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Xie Niannian's reaction, and led a large group of people away.

The birds on the tree sang a few times, maybe because the palace is deep, the little sparrows in the palace are not as lively as the ones outside, and their songs are small.

Xie Niannian was thinking about what Zhao Zhuoju said just now, while eating the cold and sweet ice powder.

Before the bowl was finished, a familiar figure stood in front of him.

She looked up, and saw Chi Qing looking down at her. To be precise, it was the unfinished ice powder in her hand.Perhaps it was a matter of the angle, but the color of the eyes was unexpectedly dark, and the light could not enter.

"Do you still eat ice in autumn? You're not afraid of catching cold." She took the bowl from Xie Niannian's hands effortlessly, and placed it on the table beside her.

There was a food box on the table, and there were snow-white and lovely mooncakes placed in the exquisite wooden grid, and the fillings inside could be seen clearly through the ice skin.However, three of the food boxes that should have been stuffed to the brim suddenly became empty.

Xie Niannian puts the mooncakes together by color, so it is easy to see that the less ones all have the same taste.

After sweeping his eyes, Chi Qing's voice sank: "Has she been here?"

Xie Niannian now feels distressed when he sees this food box: "You mean Your Majesty? Yes, you even ate my moon cakes."

"I wanted to give it to you. But I can still make it when I get home, but the taste may not be as good." Xie Niannian felt wronged in his heart, his mouth curled up, and his face became more rounded.

Her face was rubbed by hands with thin calluses, Xie Niannian looked at Chi Qing suspiciously, just as she saw a smile on the corner of her mouth, the wind blew through the broken hair by her ears, the sun cast fine shadows on her, softening her brows , unexpectedly gentle appearance.

"Go home, I'll eat whatever you want."

------

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming sooner than expected.

Xie Niannian was busy returning the yard he rented, and wrote to Xuanzhou, telling Aunt Wu that he would not go back for the time being, and asked her to help tell the people he hired, don't delay them from finding work.

And take care of the yard.

Chi Qing suddenly handed her a large bunch of keys and a thick account book, and she realized that what the "Shili Hairpin Family" said was true.Except for this big house, the few shops on the West Street and the hundreds of acres of fertile land outside the city are all owned by the Chi family.

"Then why?" A huge sum of money fell from the sky, but Xie Niannian didn't react.

"Why does it look so desolate? The Chi family has followed the Zhao family for generations, but recently the population has withered, and most of them have no interest in being an official.

Except for the branch of the main family, most of the offshoots of the clan have moved away from Fengjing to do business elsewhere. "

"After my father passed away, I didn't come back to live often, so I simply let go of the servants. Only the old housekeeper would bring someone back every month to clean it."

When Chi Qing said this, she was squinting and lying under the tree basking in the sun. Seeing Xie Niannian's dazed expression, she raised her hand and rubbed her head.

Although the family is big and the business is big, there are special people in charge anyway. Xie Niannian just needs to tidy up the yard to make it look a bit smoky.

Call someone to weed, replant good flowers, and clean up dry ponds.

Die Ying also fished his own fish from Tianshu Division to add some vitality to the new pond.

The mottled pillars under the porch have been painted with new paint, and the broken window paper has been re-pasted, but the scratches are still there.

Xie Niannian was so busy that his feet never touched the ground. Finally, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the yard became clean, tidy and full of vitality.

The newly transplanted peach trees are still small, and the trellises are sparse, but next year they should be able to see new stamens and enjoy the shade under the shaded branches and leaves.

On August [-]th, the bright moon is full.

The newly made mooncakes were put on the table, and many of them were eaten by Duoying.The child couldn't stay up all night, so it didn't take long before he had a hutch and went back to the house.

Finally able to take out the sweet-scented osmanthus wine he bought, Xie Niannian filled the glass and handed it to Chi Qing.Fill it up again for yourself, and pay respects to the cold and dusty person under the moon.

She used to be the moon in the sky, far away from herself, she could only look up and follow restrainedly, occasionally stealing a little light, she could laugh for a long time.

But at this moment, she is within reach.It is also the person whose eyes are full of oneself.

"Regard Mingyue."

Xie Niannian's eyes were full of unconscious tenderness, and he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Your respect."

Chi Qing raised his glass as well, but only tasted it briefly, and then leaned forward.

Under the endless sky of eight thousand miles, between the clear and shallow melting moonlight, in the floating osmanthus fragrance, when Xie Niannian's eyes were covered with water mist, he approached quickly.

Kissed the girl she loved.
