Xianying carefully helped Xiaohui into the main hall of Jingren Palace. There were not many valuable items in the hall. If there were a few, they were probably gifts that the three of them could not keep. Xiaohui turned around and sat down in front of the treasured chair. As soon as she looked up, she saw Yinqi and Tuling Shana, who were begging her to come over. They looked at Xianying anxiously.
Xiaohui saw that Yinqi did not go back after Youshi, so he did not need to guess to know that he had gone to Jingren Palace. Thinking about it, there were too few children in the harem. Yinqi was young and had no one to play with. He accompanied Xiaohui in Ciren Palace to chant scriptures and pray to Buddha. It was also thanks to him that he could sit still.
Yinzhen used to play with Xianying when she brought him to the Ciren Palace to pay her respects. Now, the two of them were studying in the study during the day. Although they spent a lot of time together, they had less time to play. Yinzhen was a serious child. Every day when he went back to the Jingren Palace, he would go straight into the study. He would never leave unless Xianying urged him to. However, he had played with Yinqi and Little Tangxin for less than an hour. He would definitely find an excuse to let the two little fellows help keep an eye out and return to the study room to continue.
If someone said that Yinzhen's hard work was not as good as Crown Prince Yinreng, Xiaohui would laugh at that person. Yinqi, who was taught by Yinzhen, had a good foundation in Sinology. He would often tell Xiaohui when he had nothing to do. If it was accompanied by Xianying's stories and illustrations, Xiaohui would read them every day. She did not realize that she had also learned a lot of Sinology books in the past two years.
Even Xiaohui, who occasionally listened to it, had such a foundation. How could Yinzhen's knowledge be inferior to Yinreng's? It was just that Xianying wanted to avoid the limelight like Xiaohui.
Xiaohui was more satisfied with Xianying after thinking about it. He had also relaxed a little about the matter of using her in the past two days. Even the Emperor thought that this was a good idea. It did not completely stop the previous Emperor from carrying the blame, so Xiaohui did not complain much.
In the backyard of the palace, Xiaohui heard that after Kangxi changed his hairstyle, all the civil and military officials in the court were very grateful. In the past few days, more than a hundred copies of the Book of the People had been sent from all over the country, but many of them were sent to the palace on fast horses. Although he still did not understand how this hair had such a big impact on the Han people, Xiaohui did not think too much about it.
Today, it was Yinqi, Tu Lingshan, and the eight girls who had brought her here. Seeing the two little guys like this, it seemed that Xianying was playing tricks on them again. Xiaohui did not want Xianying to make things difficult for the children, so he waved at Yinqi and Candy Heart to mediate the situation and let them come closer."The two of you brought the youngest imperial grandmother here, saying that you have delicious food to give to the youngest imperial grandmother.”
Xianying heard the Empress Dowager asking the two children this question, but she still couldn't tell that the words were directed at her. She shook her head and stepped forward, smiling at the Empress Dowager who was protecting her son."Today, Yinqi and Tangxin begged you to come because Xianying wanted to apologize to you for what happened a few days ago. Although Xianying wanted to do the emperor, she still hurt you, Xianying.”
Xiaohui raised his hand to stop Xianying from continuing and said with a smile,""Imperial Noble Consort, you don't need to be like this. The late Emperor had always wanted the Qing Dynasty to prosper. You are also inheriting the late Emperor's last wish, so this Queen should thank you.”
"How can I take on the Empress Dowager's words? However, Xianying still thanks the Empress Dowager for not being calculative with Xianying. Today, I have prepared a table of vegetarian dishes to apologize.”Xianying was grateful to the Empress Dowager from the bottom of her heart. She had heard Yinqi say that the Empress Dowager liked to read books with pictures. Although it was a little troublesome, she still found some time to translate the Han books that the prince had learned into Mongolian. Then, she painted the pictures and quickly finished the remaining books. This was the only thing that Xianying could think of that the Empress Dowager lacked.
Nanny Cui, who was waiting at the side, heard Xianying's words and quickly went out to order people to serve the dishes. Of course, the dishes were not included in the imperial kitchen. However, Nanny Cui knew that Xianying did not like the princes and princesses to eat too much. Every time, she would put those dishes in front of the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Princess.
Today was the same as the previous day, but Xianying had made a lot of dishes, but she had almost used up all the vegetarian dishes in the small kitchen of the entire Jingren Palace. Seeing that there were still many dishes from the imperial kitchen that could not be placed on the table, Xiaohui thought that he came today to eat Xianying's vegetarian dishes, so he first waved his hand to reward the dishes to the servants. Seeing that the dishes were removed and the table was filled with Xianying's dishes, Xiaohui looked at Xianying in surprise and said,"BenGong didn't know that XianYing knew so much. Even if it's exquisite, it doesn't look much worse than the imperial kitchen. I just don't know if it's all vegetarian food or if it's something YinZhen and the others like.”
Xianying had been quite familiar with Yinqi in the past few years, so how could she not know this? She turned her head and looked at the few dishes of vegetarian meat in front of Yinqi. She raised her hand and helped the Empress Dowager add a piece of exquisite jade to the bowl."How could ChenQie mistreat the Empress Dowager's treasure? The few dishes in front of YinQi, such as fish-flavored vegetarian shredded pork, vegetarian meat soup, Jing-sauce vegetarian shredded pork, and vegetarian twice-cooked pork, are all made of vegetarian meat. Although they are vegetarian meat, they taste no different from real meat. There are only a few dishes that are slightly spicy and I'm afraid you won't be used to them, so I put them in front of YinQi.”
Hearing Xianying's words, Xiaohui was really curious about those dishes. However, he thought that if she didn't eat, the children wouldn't be able to eat them. He picked up the exquisite jade heart that Xianying had prepared for her and tasted it. The soft and crisp texture immediately made Xiaohui like it. He wanted everyone to eat it, but Xianying didn't let many people wait on her in the hall. Xiaohui didn't like rules. Seeing that only Xianying and Nanny Cui had served her for many years, he said, Xiaohui pointed at the bowl and asked Xianying,""What is this? It tastes very good. It's slightly soft on the outside and crisp on the inside.”
She looked up and saw that the Empress Dowager really liked the few mouthfuls. Xianying smiled and wanted to help her pick up three cups of Pleasure Eryngus before saying,"That dish is called Linglong Jade Heart. It means that it is exquisite and transparent with topaz as the core. The ingredients are extremely ordinary white radish and dried scallops. Although the ingredients are simple, this dish has some effect on abdominal distension, abdominal pain, cough, phlegm, and other symptoms.”
Xiaohui heard Xianying say that this dish had this medicinal effect and quickly said to Xianying,""Imperial Noble Consort, you can slowly distribute the food to the children. These two days, the Imperial Palace went to the Grand Empress Dowager's place to see that her body was a little unwell these few days, so why not present some of it first.”
Xianying knew that the Empress Dowager was the most devoted to the Grand Empress Dowager, so she was not surprised by her order. Her hand that was serving Yinzhen and the others paused for a moment before she turned to the Empress Dowager and smiled."Today, Xianying is thinking of the empress dowager. There is no need to rush the food for the grand empress dowager today. Tomorrow, when Zhen 'er goes to school, Chenqie will bring him a few medicinal dishes.”
He shook his head and saw that Xianying had given the food to the children as soon as she finished speaking. She told the two nannies to take good care of Yinqi and Little Candy Heart. When Yinzhen grew up, Xianying did not arrange more people to serve him in the study. Although the prince could not be served less, this was the rule and dignity, but it was also a famous saying that he had enough food and clothing. Usually, Yinzhen would sit in front of the table and read. Xianying thought about his body and could let him move more.
After giving orders to Xianying, she turned back to serve the Empress Dowager. After everyone was satisfied with the dinner, Little Candy pushed Yinqi, who was rubbing his stomach beside the Empress Dowager, away. She tugged at Xiaohui's sleeve and begged,""Royal Youngest Grandma, can Tangxin beg you to come to Jingren Palace for meals every day in the future!”
Xiaohui saw that Yinqi was not angry after being pushed away by Tangxin, so he jumped down from the chair and ran to Yinzhen's side to let Yinzhen rub his bloated stomach. He patted Tangxin's sleeve and asked,""Why does Tangxin ask the youngest imperial grandmother to come to Jingren Palace for meals every day?”
"Because when you come, Mother will make a table full of delicious food. Moreover, with you and Fifth Brother eating with us, Tangxin feels that the food is more fragrant than usual.”Although the sugar heart wasn't big, her small mouth was as sweet as her name. If Xianying hadn't personally experienced the pain of giving birth to a daughter, she would really suspect that both she and Tong Jiashi weren't good with words. How could they give birth to such a strange daughter?
The older the women in the palace were, the more they liked to have children. However, it was still better for girls to act coquettishly. Xiaohui could not close his mouth when he heard Tang Xin's words. If it was not for the rules, he would have agreed."There is no such rule in the palace, but if Tangxin has nothing to do, you can go to the Ciren Palace to eat with the youngest grandmother.”
Xianying had told her that she was only asking for it because she liked it. However, when she heard that she could go to Ciren Palace to eat, she thought that if it was made by her mother, she could eat anywhere. She jumped off the chair happily and lay in front of Xiaohui's knees, saying,"Will we be able to eat a table full of delicious food like today?”
Hearing Tang Xin's question, Yinqi, who was sitting on a rosewood chair with Yinzhen, could not care less about his stomach. He jumped down and lay on Xiaohui's other leg. He asked with wide eyes,""Is there really such a delicious meal available every day?”
Xianying looked at the two little fellows who were so gluttonous. She held her forehead and smiled bitterly with a slight headache. Today, she had spent almost half a day on this table of dishes. If she prepared a table like this every day, although she would not be poor, she would be trapped in the kitchen and unable to move her feet. Moreover, the little girl Tangxin was too picky. Even Yinzhen, who ate more, could not tell if it was her cooking. However, Little Tangxin could not eat a bite of food cooked by others, except for snacks.
This made it impossible for Xianying to cheat. Every day, she had to prepare food for the two little ones. Although it was very embarrassing, Xianying could only look at Xiaohui with tears in her eyes and plead silently in order to make the Empress Dowager not agree to their request.
Little Yinzhen stood aside and did not interfere, but he remembered that his mother was indeed very tired today. Even if he showed his love for Yinqi, he did not want to share more of Xianying's love with others. Seeing the Empress Dowager smile and nod, Yinzhen quickly stood up and greeted the two little guys in the hall."Yinqi, Candy Heart, have you forgotten what Mother said when you went to invite the Empress Dowager today?”
Speaking of this, Yinqi and Tangxin had really forgotten about it. However, with the reminder of their fourth brother Yinzhen, Tangxin was still a little empty because she was used to eating Xianying's cooking. However, Yinqi looked down at his protruding stomach with a bitter face and really couldn't even drink water.
"Brother, if you didn't remind me, I would have forgotten. Fortunately, I still have a little stomach and can always eat some. Mother, quickly take out the delicious food that you said we've never seen before.”When Tang Xin heard her fourth brother's words, she quickly turned around and continued. She was just saying it. If she really tired her mother, Tang Xin would also feel sorry for her.
