Flowers are expensive

Chapter 265
At this time, Yuan Yin changed into yellow and white homely clothes and came out.Dong'er hurriedly poured a cup and handed it over.Yuan Yin took a sip after taking it, and said after a moment of silence: "Just right, let's put it down!"

Dong'er breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Ma'am, I'm still worried that the prince won't get used to this white tea!"

"Who cooked it?"

"Miss Xuanzhen cooked it."

"Oh," Yuan Yin suddenly remembered something, nodded and said, "Go!"

After Dong'er withdrew, Lihua took Yuan Yin's cup and poured a drink, then shook her head vigorously and said, "Zhao Yuanyin, I give you two words!"

"What word?"

Lihua looked at him with disdain, raised two fingers and said, "Sexy!"

Yuan Yin smiled: "Why are you hypocritical?"

"Is there a big difference between the tea made by Wuye and the tea made by Miss Tang Xuanzhen? It is also made by dropping a leaf into a pot of water, without salt, vinegar, or sugar. Is there such a big difference? When you were in Zique Village before, didn’t you drink the thick tea brewed from the stalk?”

Yuan Yin didn't answer, but squinted at her.She was most afraid that Yuan Yin would just stare at her without saying a word, as if he wanted to see through her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.She blinked her eyes, shrank back and said, "What... what are you doing? Why do you look like you want to eat people? Is there something wrong with what I said? You are hypocritical!"

"I'm quite hypocritical, but I have a more hypocritical idea at the moment."

"What...what's your idea?" Li Hua stood up slowly, as if to run away.

The corner of Yuan Yin's mouth twitched into a smile, and he shouted out of the room: "Wuye, you all stand down!"

Wu Ye and the other girls understood, and retreated to the second floor tactfully, only the two words that Lihua had stuck in her throat from inside the room were left in her ears - "Don't retreat...", and the rest were all It was the sound of a piece of tea set falling to the ground...

As for the matter on the second floor, they can guess without their heads. Alas, who made it so long since the young couple have seen each other?

After half a stick of incense, Lihua was wrapped in a silk quilt as a nightgown, with a blushing face, sitting in front of the vanity mirror and looking left and right twice.Yuan Yin, who was still lying down, glanced at her back and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Just now the hairpin fell off and scratched my face, I haven't had time to look at it yet!" Li Hua turned her head and pointed at Yuan Yin angrily, "If I ruin your face, I will definitely turn you into an ugly monster! People say they have to take the hairpin first, but you refuse to let it go! Humph!"

Yuan Yin smiled, pillowed his arms and said: "The face is fine, there is no scratch. Next time, don't wear that three-point hairpin in the hairpin. It doesn't look good, and it hurts people."

"I stabbed you?" Li Hua looked at Yuan Yin's arm, and there really was a begonia pattern imprinted on it!She couldn't help stomping her feet and laughing loudly: "You deserve it! You deserve it for being so hateful and bullying me! My good hairpin, I will bring it with me every time I go back..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Yin picked up the hairpin of the Begonia three-point hairpin that fell on his waist, snapped it off with his thumb, and it broke into two pieces!Lihua rushed over to "rescue the hairpin", but who would have thought that the hairpin could not be saved, she stepped on the corner of the quilt, fell to the ground with a thud, and hit her head on the pedal!
Yuan Yin laughed happily.Lihua turned over and got up, and covered his head with the quilt, and then there was a burst of "fisting and embroidering legs"...the two soon went crazy together again!

When the two were fighting, Wuye's unsteady voice came from outside the inner room door: "Wang... Wang Wang, Madam You asked where is the dinner?"

Dinner was served in the Orchid Hall downstairs.When Lihua and Yuanyin went downstairs, they happened to see Tang Xuanzhen busy calling Dong'er and the others to serve food.Hearing the sound of footsteps suddenly, Tang Xuanzhen was slightly startled, and hurriedly stepped aside, bowing her head in silence.

You Xian'er and Que Ling were also there, beckoning them to sit down.After the four of them sat down, You Xian'er smiled at Yuan Yin: "Who told you to come back in such a hurry, without saying hello in advance, and the food can only be prepared ready-made, do you like it?"

Yuan Yin picked up the chopsticks, casually put a chopstick in a plate of vegetarian dishes, tasted it and asked, "When did the cook change in the house?"

You Xian'er smiled and said, "Not bad, right? It's not that the cook has changed, the vegetarian dishes on this table are all made by Xuan Zhen. She often helped the cook in the temple, so she learned how to cook vegetarian dishes well!"

"Xuanzhen? Oh..." Yuan Yin seemed to remember something, put down his chopsticks, raised his eyelids, glanced at Tang Xuanzhen who was standing with his head bowed and asked, "Are you Tang Xuanzhen?"

Tang Xuanzhen replied: "Yes... the prince may have forgotten it a long time ago, but Xuanzhen still remembers meeting the prince when he was in Dali."

Yuan Yin nodded slightly, looked back and said: "I met you, it was many years ago."

"Yes," Tang Xuanzhen said with a little emotion, "seven or eight years have passed in a flash, and Xuanzhen never expected to see the prince again, and even live in the palace temporarily. The prince is willing to take Xuanzhen in the palace, and Xuanzhen has no idea The only thing I can do is to make some vegetarian snacks to honor the prince. Xuan Zhen's craftsmanship is not as good as that of Auntie and Sister Rong, I hope the prince will not dislike it!"

"Yeah." Yuan Yin replied lightly, then picked up You Xian'er to serve him a bowl of porridge and took a sip, aftertaste a few times in his mouth and asked, "Is this pine nut porridge?" Tang Xuanzhen hurriedly answered Said: "Exactly! I made it according to my aunt's original method. I don't know if it still suits the prince's appetite?"

"It's worse." Yuan Yin said as he put down the porridge bowl.

"It seems that Xuanzhen's skills are still inferior to others, and the prince is disappointed!"

"It's already pretty good!" You Xian'er took the words and said with a smile, "Xuanzhen has been busy all afternoon, you should at least give me a good word. She is my sister now, you can't bully her like you bully me It is."

Yuan Yin asked back: "When did I bully you? The bird spirit is the proof."

Que Ling raised his chopsticks and laughed loudly: "I testify that the master uncle has never bullied mother, but mother always supervises the two of us, taking care of everything, nagging to death!"

You Xian'er twisted Que Ling's ear, and said with a smile: "I think your mother is nagging? Okay, tomorrow I will hand over the affairs of the mansion to Li Hua and go back to the temple! The sedan chair came to carry me, and I’m not coming back!” She glanced at Li Hua, but she found Li Hua staring at a plate of pastries on the table in a daze, and hurriedly said: “If you like it, you can make it yourself, that’s also made by Xuanzhen. , what is it called lovesickness cake?"

Que Ling chuckled, touched his hot ears and said to Lihua: "I just ate a piece of it, and it tastes really good! Auntie, would you like to try it too?"

Lihua was interrupted by You Xian'er, raised her head and smiled and said, "Oh, I won't eat it, I can't eat it right now."

Tang Xuanzhen was slightly startled, raised her head and asked, "Is it because Xuanzhen didn't do well? Please give me some pointers." Lihua smiled politely at her and said, "Your skills are good. You are a vegetarian in this city. I'm afraid few can compare to you. No matter how bad your cooking is, there is nothing better. It's just..."

"Just what?" Tang Xuanzhen asked a little nervously.

"It's just that I ate too much at Princess Jingtai's last time. It was so delicious that I was full all of a sudden. When I saw this pastry again, my stomach felt a little flustered and I couldn't eat it anymore."

"Did you go to Banna Mirror Station? When did it happen?" Yuan Yin immediately turned his head and asked.

"Yeah, Lihua," You Xian'er said in surprise, "When did you go to the Jingtai? She didn't do anything to you, did she?"

"Don't be nervous, she is not a tigress, can she still eat me? She just invites me to sit and chat, and just invites me to eat pastries. She said—" Lihua raised her eyelids and glanced at Tang Xuanzhen. "She said that this lovesickness cake was created by Tang Xuanrong's mother, and it was brought from Dali. It tastes very good, so I must try it! She also said that she made it for Zhao Yuanyin before. Hurry up and try Miss Tang's cooking, and see which of the two has better craftsmanship?"

A cold light flashed across Yuan Yin's face, and he said lightly: "I don't like sweets very much. Que Ling likes it so much, give it all to her!"

Que Ling stretched out his hand and put the plate in front of him, and said with a smile: "Then I won't be polite! Sister Dong'er, put away this plate of pastries first, and give it to me later."

Pear Blossom asked her curiously: "What are you doing with it?"

Before Que Ling could speak, Dong'er smiled and said, "Who else can I give it to? It must be given to Lord Yan later!"

"I want you to talk more!" Que Ling stuffed the plate to Dong'er, and cocked her mouth to blame, "Brother Amber finally came back, and he was so tired that he was half dead, so what's the matter with eating a plate of pastries? Hurry up and put it away!"

Everyone in the hall laughed, Dong'er took the acacia cake and went out with Tang Xuanzhen.Tang Xuanzhen glanced at the acacia cake in Dong'er's hand, feeling very disappointed. Did Zhao Yuanyin really forget about Sister Rong?Don't even try this favorite lovesickness cake?

The laughter of Li Hua and Que Ling came from the Orchid Hall behind her, she was quite touched and sighed softly.Dong'er turned to look at her and asked, "What's the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

She quickly shook her head and said: "No, look where you said, how could I feel uncomfortable? It's just a pity that I didn't get the true biography of my aunt, and I couldn't make the pine nut porridge that the prince had eaten back then."

"So that's how it is. I thought the prince didn't invite you to eat at the table, and you were not happy!"

"How could it be? Even though I'm sister You's daughter-in-law, I still have self-knowledge in front of the lord. I'm grateful to the lord for taking me in. I just want to restore my aunt's craftsmanship, but unfortunately, my skills are not as good as that. people."

"Don't say that, the prince didn't even frown today, which shows that your craftsmanship is not bad."

Tang Xuanzhen asked curiously: "How do you say that?"

Dong'er smiled and said: "You don't know, the prince's appetite is the same as his eyes for picking women, he is very picky. If the tea and food don't suit his appetite at all, he would rather be hungry than move his chopsticks. But you saw, He has tasted your pine nut porridge, and he has nothing else to say except that it is bad."

"Really?" Tang Xuanzhen's heart was pounding suddenly, as if being praised by Zhao Yuanyin himself.Her furrowed brows parted, she nodded and smiled and said, "I'm telling you! I learned from my aunt anyway, if I don't have [-] points, I can get [-] points! Dong'er, I feel relieved when you say that! Thank you so much! "

Looking at the joyful smile on Tang Xuanzhen's face, Dong'er's original words got stuck in her throat, as if she saw something.But Dong'er is a smart girl, she didn't say anything.

After the meal, You Xian'er returned to the Nuan Pavilion and ordered Dong'er to move out all the books of the palace.Dong'er hugged the small mahogany box and put it on the couch, and asked while taking out the account book: "Is Madam planning to settle the affairs of the mansion?"

You Xian'er took the teacup from Tang Xuanzhen's hand and said: "I think it's time. Yuan Yin has come back, and Lihua has been in the mansion for a long time, so I should be familiar with it by now. I want to hand it back to the temple as soon as possible. , lest Que Ling say I'm nagging!"

"She's talking ironically. How can she give up on you?" Tang Xuanzhen smiled and said, "If you really go to the temple, she will cry and follow you."
