Seeing Lin Xiaoman come in, the queen waved to her. After Lin Xiaoman greeted the queen, the queen introduced Lin Xiaoman, "This Liu Tai'an is one hundred and fifty this year, and he is the eldest person in our Ning Dynasty."<

/p>

Then he said loudly to the Liu Tai'an man: "This is Princess Qingping..."

Liu Tai'an tilted his ears as if listening carefully, but he was really deaf. He waved his hand towards the queen and said: "Queen, I am deaf, please speak louder."

The queen smiled at Lin Xiaoman and said louder, "This is the Princess Qingping you want to see!"

Liu Tai'an, who was still at a loss, suddenly burst into light from his cloudy eyes. He looked at Lin Xiaoman with excitement and eagerness, which made Lin Xiaoman feel uncomfortable all over.

Sure enough, the next moment, Liu Tai'an stood up tremblingly and was about to bow down to Lin Xiaoman. Lin Xiaoman was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward and helped him.

She had heard that even centenarians in Daning did not have to kneel down when meeting the emperor. If she really accepted the worship of this Tai'an man, wouldn't her life be shortened?

Liu Tai'an was still very excited after being helped up. He held Lin Xiaoman's hand and said after a while: "The princess is righteous."

Lin Xiaoman didn't know what she meant, and looked at the queen blankly.

The Queen smiled and said, "I just talked to Mr. Liu Tai'an about new grains, vegetables and cotton. Mr. Liu Tai'an said that when he saw you, he would kowtow to you and thank you for allowing the people of Daning to have enough to eat."

Only then did Lin Xiaoman understand what was going on, but no matter what, she couldn't let a centenarian man kneel down for her.

So, he helped Liu Tai'an sit back in the chair.

After Liu Tai'an sat down, he kept mumbling, but because he was old, he didn't know if he was not very smart or his accent was too strong. Lin Xiaoman couldn't hear clearly even if he listened carefully, so he could only pretend to hum and hum.

Look like you are listening attentively.

I don’t know how the Queen communicated with her before she came.

But she did see the queen secretly sighing in relief!

Liu Tai'an was old and felt sleepy as she talked. The queen asked people to carry her back to the residence arranged in the palace to rest.

When everyone went out, the smile on the queen's face was obviously more sincere, which showed that she was very tired from summoning Liu Tai'an.

After chatting for a while, the queen asked someone to bring the proposed menu to Lin Xiaoman for review, "I have always heard that the chefs in Qingping County are good at cooking, but I have never been lucky enough to try it. Take a look at this menu and see if there is anything inappropriate about it.

Mention it."

Lin Xiaoman took the menu and looked at it carefully. The names of the dishes on it were indeed nice, but she didn't even know what they were, so how could she know how to mention them?

Seeing Lin Xiaoman's troubled face, the queen said to the maid standing beside her: "Take Princess Qingping to the imperial dining room to have a look, and ask the imperial chef to tell the princess what the dishes at the birthday banquet are like."

"My slave obeys the order!" the palace maid responded, took two steps forward, and made an invitation gesture to Lin Xiaoman, "Princess Qingping, please come with your slave."

Lin Xiaoman resigned to the queen, followed the palace maid out, and then heard the palace maid say: "The princess will call your servant Qingwan."

Lin Xiaoman saw that she was already in her twenties and had been in the palace for many years. Being able to serve the queen, her status in the palace must be extraordinary, so he called out: "Aunt Qingwan."

Qingwan smiled at her and did not correct her statement, which showed that she agreed.

Along the way, Qingwan introduced Lin Xiaoman to several palaces he passed along the way. Lin Xiaoman didn't know what Qingwan's intentions were. In ten days after the Queen's birthday, she would be leaving for Qingping County. Wouldn't it be for her?

Will you enter the palace from time to time in the future?

Passing by a palace with an apricot tree laden with fruits, I happened to see a fruit-laden apricot branch sticking out from inside.

Thinking of the sentence about a branch of red apricot sticking out of the wall, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but curl her lips. She didn't know which empress lived in this palace, so she didn't dare anyone to joke with her about it, right?

But I heard Qingwan say in a low voice: "Fuchun Palace is the palace of the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is always moody. If the princess is not taken into the palace by anyone in the future, she should try to avoid this place."

The noble concubine? Oh, she is the one who has always been at odds with the queen.

Changchun Palace and Fuchun Palace, the names of these two palaces both reveal discord.

Just as he was talking, the palace door of Fuchun Palace opened, and a palace maid holding a tray came out. When she saw Qingwan and Lin Xiaoman standing not far from Fuchun Palace, her eyes sternly said, "Aunt Qingwan is not waiting at Changchun Palace.

, why did you bring people outside the palace to the gate of Fuchun Palace to make irresponsible remarks?"

Lin Xiaoman praised the young palace maid's discernment, and it was immediately obvious that Qingwan was making irresponsible remarks here.

However, these two palaces are really at odds with each other, leaving no face for each other.

Qing Wan also had some embarrassment on her face, and said sarcastically: "I'm just passing by with the princess, how can I make irresponsible remarks? Is it because Aunt Ying'er often makes irresponsible remarks, so she thinks that others are also making irresponsible remarks?"<

/p>

Obviously, Ying'er disliked Qingwan, so she rolled her eyes at Qingwan and said, "You know best whether you have done it or not!" She also looked at Lin Xiaoman with an unkind look.

Lin Xiaoman touched his nose innocently, wondering if he was resented by her. This was really a fire in the city that affected the fish in the pond. Who did she provoke?

Qing Wan looked helpless, and her words were gentle and gentle, "You can do it if you want. If you want to accuse me, there's no need to say anything!"

Lin Xiaoman looked sideways, Aunt Qingwan said what she said as if she was innocent. If he hadn't heard her say that the imperial concubine was moody, he would have felt sorry for her.

In comparison, Aunt Ying'er looks much simpler, but after being in the palace for many years and doing well, how can she be a truly simple person?

Anyway, they were fighting, and she didn’t get involved.

Fortunately, Ying'er had something to do, so she just snorted at Qingwan, twisted her waist and walked away.

Qingwan's face was also a little ugly. After all, she did tell someone behind her back that someone was caught. Although Ying'er had no evidence, those words were heard by Princess Qingping. How should she miss her?

But when he turned back to look at Lin Xiaoman, he had a look of helplessness on his face, as if he was saying that the people in Fuchun Palace were so unreasonable.

However, Lin Xiaoman also understands that someone has said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are women, there are right and wrong. Although as a woman, she understands this deeply, let alone a harem where women gather together.

That is to say, people at this time did not have mobile phones, otherwise there would be tens of millions of groups for more than 10,000 people.

After leaving Fuchun Palace and walking not far away, I could already smell the aroma of the food. However, this aroma was not as fragrant as when cooking in restaurants in later generations. However, I felt that the smell was uniquely good, and it was too much added in later generations.

Seasonings and additives are completely different.

Thinking of the imperial meal she had eaten before, she didn’t know whether it was the difference between the north and the south at this time or the taste was just like this. After all, she had been living in the north and had not eaten many appetizing meals all the way to Beijing. However, the imperial meal was pretty good.
