The Queen Mother sat in Cining Palace for a while and then left. At present, everyone in the harem was banned by Emperor Kangxi, and Concubine Ying's job of governing the Sixth Palace was also taken back. She did not dare to tire the Queen Mother, so she

It's the Queen Mother who leads some errands.

However, she became the Queen Mother at a young age and had a lot of leisure time. She had not had to worry about anything for many years. She was really unfamiliar when she got started. She was approaching the end of the year, and she was busy with all kinds of things.

After the Empress Dowager left, the excitement in Cining Palace did not decrease by half. At this time, Da Ge Ge got up. The Empress Dowager pampered her and allowed her to get enough sleep in the winter before getting up. The little girl is a coquettish person and she would like to have a meal.

During the time, I asked Yu Lian to hug her and then cuddled with her Ukumama, which made people happy.

Seeing that there was no wind outside, the three of them strolled around the Cining Garden together. Although the plum blossoms were not in bloom yet, they were all red and pink, with a cluster of snow dotted on top, which gave them a unique style and interest.

When they arrived at the Octagonal Pavilion, the Empress Dowager was panting slightly, so she took a rest in the pavilion and asked people to put thick curtains around to keep warm. Only half of the side was opened for ventilation, and a small red clay stove was set up next to it to make tea.

It is best to enjoy the snow.

"On this day, I have to taste some snow plum dew. My dear, please wait for a while and let me show you my hand!"

Yu Lian may not be better than anyone else in playing chess, calligraphy, and painting, but he is still quite good at tea, and he refuses to serve anyone else regardless of his status. Yu Lian was in a very good mood, so he stood up and smiled at the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager refused to do anything, and she had not tasted the tea brewed by Yuxiang for several days, so she just let others go about their business.

I saw that Yu Lian cleaned her hands, asked someone to bring a clay pot about the size of a handful, and went to pick up the clusters of snow on the flowers in person. Her fingertips were red from the cold and she refused to take other people's hands. She actually enjoyed handling them.

A moment of quiet or something.

When the snow water in the jar was more than half full, a dense layer of clean plum petals was pressed, a layer of aged plum wine was poured on top, and the remaining space was filled with the Yuquan mountain water that the Empress Dowager usually drank.

"I'll try to say something nice, but I'm afraid you don't have the same heart as the Ai family, but you are always thinking about Yu Yan, and that's why you came here."

"It's a coincidence that you came here. Yu Lian was just about to make the tea and you came here. You have a good nose."

Emperor Kangxi laughed and coaxed the Empress Dowager to laugh: "It's not that my grandson has a good nose, it's just that he and Huang Mama are somewhat connected. Huang Mama has always loved her grandson, and she always thinks of her grandson first when anything good happens.

Go, my grandson had some idea while he was busy, so he came here eagerly."

Emperor Kangxi stepped forward in three steps and two steps, took Yu Xian's cold little hand to help her up, and then went to say hello to Huang Mama.

This is not finished yet. The sealed clay pot has to be baked on a small red clay stove until the plum blossom petals inside are cooked until they are soft and rotten. At this time, the colors of snow dew and spring water are also dyed.

It is light pink in color, and then filtered with a clean fine cloth. The remaining tea soup is clean and beautiful, smells fresh and has no alcohol smell, and it becomes this snowy plum dew.

I was originally hesitant about whether I should persuade Emperor Kangxi to calm down, but now I have to persuade him even if I don't want to.

However, it was not easy to say this in front of Yu Lian. The Empress Dowager only wanted to give Emperor Kangxi a few words. At this time, she was just chatting and expressing concern.

"I, my concubine, send my regards to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed with peace and happiness."

He didn't say anything, and he didn't want to step forward. He watched the person finish the tea step by step, and then he appeared. He also heard that the little girl wanted some plum blossoms and winter honey. Emperor Kangxi was all about jade at the moment.

Well, not to mention her asking for winter honey, he would even ask people to pick the stars in the sky for Yu Lian.

Yu Yuan was making tea and talking with the Empress Dowager when she heard a familiar voice interrupt her. Yu Yuan couldn't help the joy on her face. She suppressed the urge to rush forward and hurriedly gave him the gift first.

go.

Perhaps she was a little cold, her fair little face was slightly pink, and the tip of her nose was slightly red. The most beautiful thing was her hands. The fingertips seemed to be tinged with cinnabar, which was more beautiful than the budding ones.

The wintersweet is quite beautiful.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh. Even if she was joking, she really loved Emperor Kangxi, so she gave the tea that Er Yuxuan had made for her to Emperor Kangxi. She knew that he was always busy and mostly had to deal with breakfast, so he called it spring.

Bai went to the imperial dining room and brought some snacks, which were just right with the tea.

"Get up quickly. I won't delay you in making tea, so that I can have a good meal."

At that time, Yu Lian was picking up the snow on the flower bones, raising her head and eyebrows so hard that people couldn't take their eyes away.

In fact, Emperor Kangxi arrived three-quarters of an hour ago. He was thinking about Yuxiang, so he did not hesitate when discussing matters with the imperial lords. He hurriedly and slowly saved a lot of time, so he led his people on the road.

Snow comes to look for Yuxiang.

The Empress Dowager didn't know that the two people were getting close under her nose. She just looked at Emperor Kangxi's eyes and looked at him from time to time. She also saw that Yu Yuan's face had not cooled down since Emperor Kangxi came, and she knew that the two people's emotions were quite different.

It was a bit thicker than she imagined.

"It's hard to use such an elegant tea. It's a pity that we can't use plum blossom winter honey. If I remember correctly, Shijin from the Ministry of Internal Affairs donated a small jar earlier, and I just used it today."

Plum blossom honey in winter is the best, as it will not spoil the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms. However, it is not easy to keep bees to collect honey in winter, and the Empress Dowager does not like sweet honey, so the only honey in the palace is honey from hundreds of flowers, which is not bad at all.

He wanted to get closer to Yu Yuan, but Emperor Mama was there. Emperor Kangxi didn't want to go too far, so he just pulled Yu Yuan and sat down beside him. On the surface, he and Emperor Mama were chatting lively, but then

Under the table, Yu Xian's cold fingers were tightly grasped and refused to let go, and their fingertips were rubbed from time to time, which made Yu Xian's face smear.

If you like something with a mild fragrance, you can drink it directly after cooling it down. After one sip, you will feel the coolness of wintersweet on your lips and teeth. If you like something sweeter, you can also melt some honey into it.

Emperor Kangxi was quite embarrassed. He touched Huang Mama's words and understood some of the underlying meaning.

Emperor Mama never meant anything he said. According to the rules, as an emperor, he could not always think about someone in the harem. Even if he really missed someone, it would be hard to express it.

But Huang Mama still said it, and since she said it, she had a purpose. Emperor Kangxi knew that his love and concern for Yu Lian was too much, but this love was beyond his control, or he could not control the method of suppression at the moment.

He didn't want to make some unwarranted guarantees in front of Huang Mama, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply. He let go of Yu Lian's hand angrily, and just held the tea to use it. The taste was really good, and he tasted it again and again.

Kua, then he revealed the words and pretended not to understand for the time being.
