Chapter 7 My Favorite

Li Yingning's eyes fell on the glutinous rice, red beans, peanuts and other things brought by the maid, and her heart moved slightly.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang immediately pulled her and said with a smile on her face: "You can't enter the palace empty-handed during the Dragon Boat Festival. Mother will teach you how to wrap a few colorful rice dumplings and present them to the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Yingning pouted secretly.

She doesn't want to curry favor with old godmothers and little perverts.

Thinking of this, Li Yingning immediately asked softly: "Mother, are you bringing your daughter into the palace today?"

"Yes."

"Take all your sisters with you."

As soon as Li Yingning said this, the eyes of Aunt Ruan and Aunt Tao lit up.

They are aunts, so naturally they are not qualified to go out, and because their daughters are concubines, unless they are accompanied by their aunts, they are not allowed to go out and show their faces in the aristocratic social circle.

Aristocratic girls who show their faces in front of other noble ladies may be selected and promised to be a good family.

In the past, because the second girl, Li Siyao, was sweet-talked and good at coaxing people, Yang and the eldest girl loved to take her with them when they went out, and they even went to the palace many times.

Unexpectedly, the eldest girl offered to take the rest of the younger sisters with her today.

How could the two aunts be unhappy.

Mrs. Yang has always been obedient to her daughters, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's take them with you. Aunt Ruan, Aunt Tao, you also go back and dress up the girls, don't lose the dignity of our Li family. "

"Yes, concubines, let's go now."

The aunts were extremely excited and hurried back.

Not long after, Aunt Baixiu and Li Siyao, who got the news, came to the main courtyard.

Li Siyao followed her mother, with a simple and elegant appearance, dressed in delicate goose yellow, she looked even more elegant and elegant.

She greeted Mrs. Yang first, then turned to Li Yingning, and said with concern: "In the past few days, big sister has lost a lot of energy."

"That's right." Li Yingning played with a few zongzi leaves and said casually, "Maybe he committed a villain recently."

Li Siyao was taken aback for a moment, feeling suspicious in his heart.

Ever since Zhe Xiu died, she has always felt a little uneasy.

And Li Yingning, who was always affectionate to her in the past, has also become much colder.

Could it be that she noticed something?
"Second sister?"

"Ah?" A voice drifted into Li Siyao's ears, and when she recovered, she realized that it was Li Yingning who was calling her.

She hurriedly replied: "Yes, what's the big sister?"

Li Yingning waved: "Why are you sitting so far away, come over here quickly. My mother taught me how to wrap zongzi, you also come and learn together, wrap a few into the palace and present it to the ladies, to win the prize."

Seeing the soft and affectionate smile on Li Yingning's face, the doubts and anxiety in Li Siyao's heart disappeared in an instant.

That's right, she is still that innocent and brainless young lady who was pampered and grew up without any scheming or palace.

She can be manipulated and fiddled with.

Li Siyao's heart pounded back.

She immediately showed a flattering smile, leaned in front of Li Yingning, and said courteously: "My mother is from the south of the Yangtze River. She has the most skillful hands and can wrap all kinds of rice dumplings. My aunt can't do anything."

Aunt Baixiu was not annoyed at all when she heard the words, and said with a gentle smile: "My wife was born in everyone. Your aunt and I were sold to learn art when I was a few years old. Where can I learn these things? You, you can have a wife and a young lady to teach you, but Your blessing is to study hard.”

"I know." Li Siyao showed a charming smile, and fiddled with the colored thread clumsily, "Hey, why is this messed up, I really can't do anything well."

It's this hideous virtue again.

Li Yingning had already seen her appearance in the future, and knew that Aunt Baixiu was actually versatile, and her hands were more skillful than Yang's.

And Li Siyao is not only proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also wraps the zongzi very well, the tiger-head zongzi and the lotus zongzi are all lifelike.

At the Dragon Boat Festival in the second year after Li Yingning married the sixth prince, Li Siyao became a blockbuster, and successfully won the favor of Cai Guogong's son with a seven-orifice and exquisite lotus dumpling, and was married back home as a concubine. After dying of illness one after another, she was successfully rectified and became the dignified Mrs. Cai Guogong.

Later, Cai Guogong voted for Gu Changyuan, helped him seize power and become the throne, and gained the merit of being a dragon.

During the dark years when Li Yingning married Gu Changyuan, Li Siyao could be said to have reached the sky step by step, full of ambition.

Back then, Li Yingning had a pure heart and would only be happy for this younger sister.

now.

Everything is different.

Li Siyao's deliberate playful and clumsy performance made Li Yingning nauseous.

But she hid her emotions very well, and still affectionately asked Yang Shi to teach Li Siyao how to wrap zongzi.

When Li Siyao clumsily wrapped the zongzi, Li Yingning still had a messy pile in his hands.

She acted like a baby to Yang: "Mother, I won't make zongzi anymore. The leaves prick my hands, and the water has soaked my fingers. You should teach the second younger sister."

Yang picked up her finger, blew it carefully, and sighed amusedly and helplessly: "You're so delicate, blame me for spoiling you."

Li Siyao hurriedly said: "My sister's hands are used to write and play the piano, how can I do such rough work. I will give my sister the zongzi I wrapped."

"Really?" Li Yingning's eyes brightened slightly, "Second Sister, you are so kind to me."

Li Siyao smiled shyly: "Father often taught us that we are sisters and we should help each other."

"Then I won't be too polite? I'm worrying about what to present to the empress this afternoon, so you can help me wrap a few more unique ones, okay?" Li Yingning happily rolled a twist from her wrist. A silk gold bracelet and stuffed it into her hand, "I can't ask you for help in vain. This bracelet is inlaid with a circle of rubies, which suits your skin tone best."

"Ah, this can't be done, it's too expensive." Aunt Baixiu dissuaded her.
