13、【13】

Yaoguang Hall is located west of Zixiao Hall, not far away, but it will take a quarter of an hour to walk.

The palace maids and eunuchs I met along the way, when they saw Tao Ti coming out to walk around, they all retreated to the side of the road in surprise.

When Tao Ti walked away, she raised her head one by one and started talking in a low voice.

"It's amazing. The Crown Princess actually came out to walk around? I heard that the Crown Princess yesterday asked someone to give his highness some snacks. Seeing the palace servant behind her carrying a food box, is he going to Zixiao Palace?"

"Didn't she be unhappy to marry? What's the matter now that she is rushing to deliver food to His Highness."

"Hey, maybe I figured it out. This guy has been married and has made trouble. It doesn't matter if he continues to make trouble..."

"After that being said, have you seen the appearance of the Crown Princess just now? I didn't dare to look up."

"I see clearly! Hey, who said that the Crown Princess looked ordinary? It's Hu Qin! I just saw that I could still be a fairy descending to earth!"

"Ha? Is it exaggerating to be so beautiful?"

"I'm a grandson in lie to you! If you don't believe it, find an opportunity to take a look."

The palace people here were chatting enthusiastically, but Tao Ti's eyes were attracted by the small locust flowers forest on the roadside.

On the tall and straight trees, clusters of locust flowers, as white as snow, were blooming lively. The small white flowers, coupled with the tender green branches and leaves, brought a burst of fragrant and sweet fragrance in the gentle spring breeze.

There is a poem that says: The spring breeze arrives in front of the courtyard overnight, and the locust flowers are fragrant for ten miles.

Tao Ti looked at the tender and beautiful locust flowers and took a deep breath, feeling relaxed and happy, "The locust flowers are blooming so well."

Linglong was about to echo "Yes", but then he heard the princess say, "Such fresh and tender locust flowers, whether they are made into locust flower cakes, locust flower buns, locust flower egg cakes, or used to steam fish, they must be delicious!"

exquisite,"……?"

If it were other noble ladies who appreciated flowers, they wouldn’t even think of eating them all at once.

My own princess is really...I love food.

Tao Ti didn't know Linglong's complaints, and more than a dozen ways to make locust flowers flashed through her mind, so she turned around and said to Linglong happily, "Let's go, go and bring food to Your Highness first. When we come back, we will pick two baskets and go back."

Two baskets? Linglong silently: "Yes..."

****

Zixiao Palace is worthy of being the first hall of the Eastern Palace. Its area, size of the palace, and its gorgeousness are not comparable to Yaoguang Palace.

However, the style of the hall is very cold, with a low-key tone. There are not many flowers and plants planted everywhere, and green bamboo forests can be seen everywhere. If it is in the hot summer, this large area of ​​bamboo forest will look cool and quiet. But if it is in the other three seasons, it will seem a little lonely.

However, the quiet and elegant style of a fairy figure like Pei Yan is matched with him.

When the palace servants in Zixiao Palace saw Tao Ti coming, they all bowed and greeted each other with a serious expression, ran in to report to the prince with a serious expression, and then led her into the study with a serious expression.

This cautious and defensive attitude made Taoti smile bitterly—

She really wanted to hold these palace ladies and explained one by one, don’t look at me like this, I’m really at ease. Everyone should forget about suicide by taking poison and giving me a chance to reform and become a new person!

No matter how much you think about it, it is difficult to do it. After adjusting your mentality, Tao Ti walked around the mountain and water screen and walked into the hall.

Pei Yan sat at the table holding the scroll in his hand. He heard the slight footsteps, put the scroll down and looked forward.

Today, Taoti was wearing a simple and elegant magnolia satin palace outfit, with a low bun and two sunflower-patterned silver hairpins. As long as she didn't go out, she would dress up simply. Anyway, God always favored beauties. As long as she looked good and dressed in a simple way, she could also be praised as "natural decoration".

Taoti saluted him, "Greetings to Your Highness."

Pei Yan smiled at her naturally, "You are here."

"I made candied fruit and jerky today." Taoti took the food box from Linglong's hand and took it to his table and put it down. "Isn't the candied fruit from the honey fried rice too sweet? I made some not so sweet myself. There are also pork jerky, which has a salty and sweet sesame. If you are hungry while handling government affairs, you can eat some to keep your stomach."

While speaking, she had already put out the candied fruit and pork jerky.

Pei Yan signaled Fu Xirui to bring her a stool, and his eyes fell on what she brought.

Taoti's gaze moved with his eyes. Seeing him looking at the brightly colored pork jerky, she said, "If the air is not very hot today, this kind of barbecue jerky can't be kept for long. You'd better eat it within three days, otherwise the taste will be bad."

Seeing him looking at the candied fruit, she said again, "I have made four candied fruits, candied ginger, honey kumquat, snowflake hawthorn balls and rouge dried apricots. Don't worry, they will not be very sweet. You can eat these four cans first, and after eating, you will feel good, and then tell me that I will make them for you."

Pei Yan said quietly, "I'm so troubled."

"No trouble, this is not difficult to make." Tao Ti said sincerely, "You helped me several times, and I can't do anything for you, so I can only make some food for you..."

If he had investigated her for taking poison, would he be in prison now? Or would all the members of the entire Yongwei Hou Mansion fall to the ground? What's more, he promised to say "honestly recreate" to himself and Li Shu.

Now she just makes some food and feeds him, which is nothing at all.

Seeing that she looked serious, Pei Yan did not take any further steps, but picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of candied ginger.

As soon as the ginger is delivered to the mouth, you can smell a fresh and spicy smell. When it is delivered to the mouth, a faint sweetness melts between the mouth. With chewing, the unique fresh and spicy ginger is mixed with the sweetness of honey, which relieves greasiness and arouses appetite.

He looked at Taoti, who was sitting on the side and praised, "This is the best candied ginger I have ever eaten."

This sentence is the truth.

He has never eaten such good candied fruit before. The taste of ginger itself is well preserved, unlike other candied fruits I have eaten before, without any sweetness or sweetness.

"It's good that you like to eat." Taoti's beautiful smiling eyes bent into crescent moons.

Being recognized by others is a happy thing, not to mention being recognized by such a beautiful handsome guy, it is simply double happy!

"Who did you learn from with such a good cooking skill?" Pei Yan asked casually, but his deep eyes fell on her face.

Sure enough, he accurately captured the shock that flashed through her eyebrows.

She was panicked.

Tao Ti subconsciously pinched her fingers, then blinked her bright eyes and smiled, "I haven't learned it from anyone, but I like to read some miscellaneous books when I'm idle, especially some food notes. When I see something I'm interested in, I will think about how to make it..."

Her slender fingers gently tapped the table, Pei Yan's expression was still impeccable, and she said lightly, "Oh, so that's how it is?"

Tao Ti said with a small head, her face was still not changing and her heart was beating, "It's a pity that when she was in the Marquis' Mansion, there were too many people and the four rooms shared a large kitchen. I didn't feel good about going to the big kitchen often, so I didn't cook much before. Now I can have a small kitchen to toss and do whatever I want, thanks to your understanding... I am so grateful."

When he asked to open a kitchen, Taoti guessed that someone might ask questions. After all, the original owner didn’t cook much, and when he came to him, he became fond of cooking, which would inevitably attract attention.

She originally thought that the first person to ask would be the maids and nannies who were dowry, but she didn't expect that the first person to ask would be Pei Yan.

Pei Yan, who is so simple-minded, should be very easy to fool? After all, he was not familiar with him before.

She comforted herself like this, and by the way she praised her witty reaction and calm acting skills.

Pei Yan at the desk listened to her words and raised his thick eyebrows slightly. This explanation was logical. He just accepted her statement.

But she explained it and did not forget to flatter him...
