There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 24 Flattery
Tang Wanning didn't care about these rumors in the backyard.

But she was very happy to find a new place to practice archery.

The next day I ran to see it myself, and immediately called a few eunuchs to clean up the weeds, and asked Biyue to set up a target and start practicing.

"In such a desolate place, no one will come here to make trouble!" She was full of confidence.

"That's right! Ma'am, you can just focus on practicing here, and this servant will watch over you!" Biyue was very excited.

Tang Wanning vigorously raised the longbow in her hand and practiced shooting several times.

Although the result is still unsatisfactory, at least the feel is getting better and better, and the arrow is getting more and more stable.

The second arrow, which was only dangling on the edge, was now able to stab the target firmly.

In a word, rapid progress!
The more Tang Wanning practiced, the more confident she became. Even though beads of sweat had already formed on her head, she didn't care.

Every time she raised the longbow, she seemed to be able to see the scene where her father praised her, and Xia Houjue's bastard expression.

You say I'm stupid, but I want to practice it for you!
……

Luomeixuan.

"master!"

Hong Qiao came in and reported in a low voice.

"My master's attitude towards the princess concubine, even the servants can't figure it out!"

"Yesterday, I punished side concubine Liu severely, but it didn't treat the princess concubine very well!"

"Not even a second look!"

Gao Liangyuan was a little unbelievable.

"What about the princess?"

Hong Qiao frowned.

"Let's not mention the princess concubine, she is only thinking about practicing arrows now!"

"His Royal Highness does not allow her to practice in the back garden, and she even ran to practice in the open space to the west of our Luomei Xuan!"

"It's bustling over there early in the morning!"

Gao Liangyuan: "..."

She has always been quite confident in her brain and IQ, but now she is suddenly at a loss.

The minds of these two masters are more difficult to guess than the other.

It's okay for the crown prince to be unpredictable, they are also women, so why is the crown prince's mind so weird?

After thinking for a while, Gao Liangyuan said helplessly.

"Forget it! You go down first!"

Hong Qiao wanted to ask some questions, but seeing that her master was also full of doubts, she couldn't say anything more, so she quietly backed out.

Gao Liangyuan got up slowly and walked to the yard, walked to the west side of the courtyard wall, and sat down on the somewhat worn-out stone bench.

Hearing the faint chatter and laughter coming from outside, he was lost in thought.

……

The news of Concubine Liu's grounding had been circulating in the backyard for a few days, and finally became silent.

The attitude of the young wives in the backyard towards the princess has also changed.

In any case, the fact that His Highness the Crown Prince was able to severely punish the side concubine for the sake of the Crown Princess shows that the Crown Princess still has a very high status.

In this case, it is not easy to offend.

So their attitude became respectful again.

Whether it's greetings or greetings, they are much more willing than usual.

Tang Wanning didn't bother to say anything about it, she just smiled coldly and ignored it.

But in this way, Gao Liangyuan's way to please her will be much more difficult.

On this day, Tang Wanning got up early in the morning, put on her clothes and went out to practice archery.

Halfway through the practice, Gao Liangyuan came out of Luomeixuan with a maid smiling.

She respectfully walked to Tang Wanning's side, greeted Li, and smiled.

"It's said that empresses don't give in to male eyebrows, and the concubine wants to open her eyes today, empress doesn't mind!"

Tang Wanning glanced at her and smiled faintly.

"Of course I don't mind!"

Gao Liangyuan was very happy, and quickly greeted the little eunuch beside her.

"You guys hurry up and bring a table and two chairs, Hong Qiao, you go and burn a tea stove! Put some more dishes of dim sum!"

"Later, when I am tired from practicing, I would like to drink tea and eat some snacks!"

"Hey!"

Hong Qiao went down with the two young eunuchs.

Seeing that their mother did not refuse, Bi Yue and Bi Luo did not act rashly.

Tang Waning was still practicing arrows without distraction.

It's not that I don't want to refuse, but I'm too lazy to refuse.

She is a concubine, it is normal for wives to curry favor with her, there is nothing to avoid.

What's more... Gao Liangyuan is a smart person.

In this backyard, it's always easier to deal with smart people than with stupid ones.

If you have to make friends with someone, then Gao Liangyuan is not bad.

……

An hour passed, and the sun grew bigger and bigger.

Tang Wanning was also tired, so she dropped the bow and arrow in her hand and walked to the tea table set up by Gao Liangyuan.

"Your Majesty, sit here!" Gao Liangyuan was very attentive.

Tang Waning looked at the snacks and tea on the tea table under the shade of the trees and was very satisfied.

Sure enough, dealing with smart people is a very comfortable thing.

She laughed and praised.

"I didn't expect Gao Liangyuan to have a pair of skillful hands, this dim sum looks very fresh!"

Gao Liangyuan was a little embarrassed.

"Your Majesty praises me, the concubine is not talented, and she only tinkers with such little things!"

Tang Wanning picked up an exquisitely made printed cake, observed it for a while, and put it in her mouth.

She had never seen this kind of dessert before. It was similar to a moon cake, only the size of a walnut, crystal clear, small and exquisite, and looked very pleasant.

The crust is probably made of milk, eggs and flour, full of milk flavor in the mouth, and the filling is sweet-scented osmanthus, which is similar to sweet-scented osmanthus cake but tastes sweeter.

In terms of appearance and taste, this dim sum is extremely outstanding, and it is quite different from the previous ones served in the kitchen.

"What's the name of this snack?"

Tang Wanning was very satisfied and ate another one.

"It's called milk sweet-scented osmanthus cake, how does your lady taste?"

"That's right, it seems that Gao Liangyuan is a master at making dim sum!" She praised sincerely.

"If you like it, my concubine will send you some from time to time!" Gao Liangyuan took the opportunity to offer her courtesy.

Tang Wanning chuckled.

"That's not necessary!"

"Come over whenever I want to eat, don't be stingy then!"

"What are you talking about, the concubine, I'm afraid the empress won't come!" Gao Liangyuan also laughed.

Tang Wanning ate some snacks and drank another cup of fragrant tea before standing up satisfied.

"It's getting late, I should go back too!"

"My concubine will come again when I have time!"

Gao Liangyuan hurriedly got up to send her off.

Tang Wanning turned her head and took a deep look at her before leaving with the palace servants.

……

Back to the main courtyard, after bathing and changing clothes.

Tang Wanning sat on the soft couch and flipped through the scriptures she had found out from the folks, while Biyue beat her legs with the beauty.

"Master, don't you dislike dealing with those women?" Bi Yue was a little puzzled.

Tang Wanning's brows were frivolous, absent-minded.

"Yes!"

"But I'm in the backyard, probably can't avoid it"

"That Gao Liangyuan looks very scheming!" Biyue pouted, "Don't eat that snack, I'm worried..."

Biluo also rarely agrees.

"Indeed, master, you are being careless today! In the future..."

"Okay!" Tang Wanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It's just eating two pieces of snacks, look at you one by one!"

"No matter how courageous Gao Liangyuan is, she wouldn't dare to poison her snacks, unless she doesn't want to live anymore..."
