Heart of the Palace: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves

It's just a reward that the concubines and princes often give, but how did you know that this kind of sesame and mung bean thing spread in the palace, even Emperor Wen, who didn't ask about the affairs of the harem, knew that there was a steamed stuffed bun in the Lingshuang Palace. Well-behaved lady-in-waiting.Perhaps the third prince, who has always been a picky eater, was full of praise for this, and Emperor Wen, who was glad that his son had recovered from his illness, was in the mood to pick a day to come and taste it.

When this matter was ordered, the people in the dining room were busy preparing.Xiang Wanchun pinched her mouth, at this moment she was still thinking about the gold ingot that was hard to come by and left in a hurry.Xiang Wanchun was puzzled, all the good things were spread, so how come the bad things are not exposed at all?

Even so, there are good things to be thankful for, counting from the last time, Qinglian has not come to trouble her for quite some time.Xiang Wanchun was happy to be at leisure, and spent the whole day spinning around behind a group of young eunuchs, listening to them talking about new things inside and outside the palace.

Xiang Wanchun had finished breakfast and was about to go to work when he bumped into Qinglian who hadn't seen her for a long time in front of the door.

"Sister Qinglian?" It's been a while since she came to the palace, and Xiang Wanchun still can't get rid of her shock.

Qinglian tapped her forehead with her fingertips, and said angrily, "What are you talking about? A frizzy and impolite girl."

Xiang Wanchun took a deep breath, and suppressed his surprised expression: "The servant will not dare next time."

"Just talk but don't do it," Qinglian blamed with a grim expression, remembering that she didn't come here to find personnel, and Xiang Wanchun's lazy and unhurried appearance made her feel a little anxious, "You girl really don't have the slightest self-consciousness! I never I saw you chatting with people about things before, and you don’t know how to prepare quickly if you have this spare time. By the way, how are your preparations going? The emperor will be here when he comes to court, so you have to seize the time. "

The things were prepared a long time ago, Xiang Wanchun was about to nod, Qinglian pushed her out: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you help them?"

"That's right," Xiang Wanchun hadn't taken two steps, Qinglian called to stop him again, and she instructed, "You have to pay attention to me, if you get caught this time, it's not just a matter of cursing and cursing."

Xiang Wanchun knew what Qinglian was talking about, Qinglian looked dignified, and she probably guessed the seriousness of the consequences: "I know." In fact, she couldn't help it even if she wanted to steal it this time, whether it was noodles or ingredients. The buns made according to the quantity are only enough to serve.

"Huh?" It really can't make people worry, she can make mistakes if they don't pay attention, Qinglian raised her eyebrows and squinted from the corners of her eyes, which made Xiang Wanchun swallow her saliva nervously.

"...Slave servant understands." I don't interact with these people on weekdays. Most of the people I deal with are eunuchs and maids who split forks and cook water. When they are in similar positions, there is no difference between superiority and inferiority. Therefore, Xiang Wan, a high-ranking person, suddenly stands in front of him. Chun couldn't respond.

"Go." Waving impatiently, Qinglian didn't want to say anything more.

Xiang Wanchun felt that Qinglian was worrying too much, and she stayed there for a while just to help people around, wouldn't it make sense to leave early or late?

Speaking of which, those jealous eunuchs actually had no reason to envy Xiang Wanchun's reward. The last time the stuffing was made by Xiang Wanchun himself, and the buns were made by Xiang Wanchun himself. Even the rolled skin and buns can be divided into two parts. For personal work, Xiang Wanchun is afraid that the thickness and size of the roll will not meet his liking, and the taste of the steamed one will not be good, so it is all done by himself.

The dining room is obviously full of good cooks, so she has to take care of the face time.Xiang Wanchun had a lot of worries, but when the senior eunuchs ordered by Su Shuangran had some free time, she would work around the stove by herself.Looking at it this way, it's actually not the same who will replace those eunuchs who worked next to Xiang Wanchun?

There are so many delicacies in the palace, the third prince just couldn't help but eat one more because he had never tasted the stuffed stuffed buns that ordinary people eat. Xiang Wanchun messed around, the stuffing and dough were prepared according to the requirements of the imperial dining room, fearing that the emperor would not be happy with the meal, and the people in the back kitchen would not be able to get rid of it.

Xiang Wanchun has never seen such a small and exquisite steamed stuffed bun. The emerald green skin is decorated with a piece of chopped carrot, and the pavilions carved with green radish are placed in the center of the jade-like white plate, which is even more lifelike.This is the basic skill of the imperial chef. Compared with his rough buns, Xiang Wanchun felt a lot of emotion and felt ashamed.

After the steamed stuffed buns were presented, it was considered that the busy work was over, but people didn't clean up and then go to take a nap as usual.It was probably the first time that Emperor Wen had solemnly called out to eat steamed stuffed buns. Everyone's hearts were hanging high and they didn't relax at all. It wasn't until the eunuch who inquired after a while that the emperor was satisfied with the food, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Wanchun was confused, she didn't make the buns at all, why did Emperor Wen reward her?Xiang Wanchun was completely puzzled.She never dared to keep the reward money for herself, and distributed it to everyone, even though the reward money this time was so greedy, Xiang Wanchun didn't move a cent.

If the things belong to you, you can hold them carefully, and if you don't want them yourself, it's also meaningless.

Emperor Wen left, and Xiang Wanchun was called to the front hall.At that time, not long after she finished her work, she was taking a nap on the wooden table.

Su Shuangran put down the teacup in her hand, her eyes were bright and expressive, and she whispered softly and seductively: "I don't know how to reward you for Wan Chun's meritorious service this time, so I will grant you a wish." She is rare. Promise, even Qing Lian, who has been waiting by her side for a long time, has never encountered such a good thing.

Contributing... When did it happen?Her head was still a mess just after waking up, Xiang Wanchun couldn't figure out the meaning of these words, saw Qinglian and Liu's eyebrows slightly frowned, and her heart turned one after another before she roughly understood what happened, she quickly said: "It's not like this , that is all the credit of the masters, I... the servant did not help me at all."

"Master?" Seemingly puzzled, Su Shuangran glanced sideways at Qinglian.

Qinglian seized the opportunity to interject and scolded: "Master, master? The most taboo in the palace is to form factions and set up camps. Girls who don't know the rules don't learn good things and learn bad things."

"No, those are just teaching the servants to cook..." Xiang Wanchun was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"You still want to argue?" Qinglian frowned, "It's just to please the emperor and the third prince for a meal, you are getting more and more presumptuous!"

Qinglian scolded a lot, but it was rare to see such a big temper. Knowing that she was talking too much, Xiang Wanchun choked on the words: "I don't dare."

"Okay, Qinglian, I didn't call Wan Chun here to criticize you." After the incident was over, Su Shuangran smoothed things over in time, and cast his gaze on Xiang Wanchun, "Does Wan Chun have unfulfilled wishes?"

Seeing that Su Shuangran was eccentric and protective, Qinglian muttered dissatisfiedly: "Mother..." It's a pity that Su Shuangran completely ignored it, which made her helpless later.

Originally thought that Su Shuangran was completely ignorant of the whole story, but now Xiang Wanchun is more or less convinced that this is not the case.She was a little flattered but also guilty, and said: "...It is the greatest wish of a servant to be able to serve by the empress's side."

As soon as the words fell, Xiang Wanchun was filled with steam for Su Shuangran's slightly curved eyebrows and face. Compliments were not difficult for her. When she was staying in the camp, her subordinates were so flattering to please the village master. Yes, I don't understand that when this method was applied to Su Shuangran, she felt a faint sense of shame for blasphemy against a beautiful woman, so she held back her words for a long time.

"Isn't it possible for you to teach me this?" There was a deep smile in the words, Su Shuangran asked sideways.

"How can a servant have this ability?" There was a little annoyance and reluctance in the tone of her voice, even though she said so, there was a slight smile on her almost calm face, Qinglian's surprise turned when she heard this for the first time It became a smile, thinking that although this girl Xiang Wanchun is a bit reckless, she is still clever, and a child can be taught.

Hearing people talk about their own affairs, Xiang Wanchun just felt uncomfortable at this moment, wanted to speak but was afraid of interrupting and disturbing the other party, it was especially difficult to stand aside with a blushing face.

Xiang Wanchun's blushing appearance came into view, put away his joking thoughts, and Su Shuangran said: "Since Wan Chun can't think of it for the time being, I will stay here in this palace to make a wish. When Wan Chun thinks about it, come and discuss it with me." .” Inadvertently resolved Xiang Wanchun’s embarrassing situation, and finally let people breathe a sigh of relief.

I really don't know why Su Shuangran is so persistent, and Qinglian's eyes hinted that Xiang Wanchun was about to salute and thank you, when he saw Su Shuangran smiled lightly: "There is only one time, Wanchun must take good care of it." The state is vaguely endless.

The heartbeat was rapid for no reason, and no matter what he couldn't suppress the throbbing in his heart, Xiang Wanchun couldn't help but twisted his hands and became cautious, afraid that his words would make himself ugly: "Your servant remembers." Even how to leave later, She was also absent-minded.

The thought of being Su Shuangran came up inadvertently, but Xiang Wanchun didn't take it to heart.Even if she was very tempted, she didn't have the cheek to ask for it, it was because others were busy busy, she was just getting rich.

"Why have people been absent-minded since they came back?" The little eunuch saw that Xiang Wanchun, who was cleaning back and forth like a log, pushed her lightly, "Are you okay?"

Not frightened but recovered, Xiang Wanchun smiled and said, "No, I'm just obsessed with thinking about things."

"What's the matter? Look at your face is red." The little eunuch teased.

"Where is it?" There was an inexplicable thump in his heart, Xiang Wanchun pressed his hand to his face as if to detect the truth, but his cheeks were cold and there was no enthusiasm, only then did he know that he had been teased.

Seeing Xiang Wanchun's nervous face, the little eunuch smiled triumphantly: "You really believe me, do you really have ghosts in your heart?"

"You have a ghost in your heart!" Shamed and annoyed, he picked up the broom in his hand, and Xiang Wanchun made a gesture to beat him.
