Chapter 42 Suddenly happy and passed the Dragon Boat Festival

Ling Xiao warned Qingwu not to mention to anyone about meeting Lord Huo. After returning to Qiluan Hall, he gave the things to Erlan and asked her to take someone down to decorate. Qingwu went back to his room to change shoes and socks.

After taking a nap on the couch for a while, I used a bowl of sweet soup. Seeing that it was still early, I called Qingwu, "Do we have zongzi leaves in our palace now, and the materials for making savorous buns? Didn't you get any?"

Qingwu was stunned and said, "I'll ask Erlan." With that, he walked out.

After a while, the two walked in together. Er Lan still held a small plate with colorful silk threads in her hand. She smiled and replied, "Little master, the scattered objects to be used for the Dragon Boat Festival are now complete. Does the little master want to make rice dumplings?"

"Well, since there are zongzi leaves, let's soak some glutinous rice. Let's start making zongzi tomorrow." Ling Xiao is in a good mood. This is the first festival in the palace.

"Yes, little master." Erlan answered and said, "There is still more than an hour before dinner. Do you want to embroider savor bags?" With that, he handed over the small plate in his hand.

"Come on, show me." Ling Xiao took it over happily, looked at it, and praised, "Lan is really new to me."

Erlan listened to the praise and felt a little embarrassed, "Little Lord."

Seeing that Qingwu was a little aggrieved and ashamed, Ling Xiao pulled her and joked with a smile, "But Qingwu has helped collect a lot of stinky calamus in the palace today."

Er Lan also covered her mouth and smiled, "Yes, it's so good-looking. And the wormwood, green and green, the maidservant, let people find a big jar to raise it. There are some places, and there are still a lot left."

"Send some of the rest and send them to the Xixi Hall." Qingwu became happy again after hearing this, and showed a little color. Dai Lingxiao said.

Ling Xiao nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Take some to Mo Changzai, too."

Next, it took a lot of time to find patterns, choose fabrics, and colors. Unconsciously, it's dinner time. After dinner, Ling Xiao called the women in the palace to make savores on a small table. The master and the servant asked each other for craftsmanship.

When Erlan got up the next day, Erlan and others prepared the materials for making rice dumplings. When Ling Xiao invited him back, he made rice dumplings together in the palace and was busy for most of the day. In the evening, he took more than a dozen and put them in the pot to cook. After a short time, there was a strong fragrance of rice dumplings in the Qiluan Hall.

Qingwu peeled a red date, put it in a small white porcelain plate, and clipped it into small pieces with chopsticks. The rice was cooked crystal clear, and the wrapped red dates were bright red and delicate. The rich and sweet smell lingered at the end of the nose, which made people's index fingers move.

Ling Xiao took a sip, and the sweet and soft taste was excellent, especially when he made it himself. Naturally, it was more delicious. Soon he picked up the second piece. Seeing Qingwu and Zhuer, he looked drooling, he laughed and said, "Let's share these. After eating, boil another pot and give it to Xuan Xiaozhu and Mo Xiao. The main gift is a few, such as egg yolk, bean paste, bacon, and other flavors.

As soon as everyone heard it, they thanked them with a smile, and then picked up the rice dumplings and ate them, praising them while eating.

After eating, she picked a beautiful food box and put the zongzi in. After it was ready, Zhu Er was ready to send it to Lin Xuanyu. Before leaving, she asked, "Little master, do you want to send some to the empress, the noble concubine and the medicine concubine?"

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and looked at Erlan. Erlan thought for a moment and said, "No, it's not a good thing. Let's just eat and play by ourselves, so as not to take it out and make people laugh. On the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be some excellent ingredients such as Zongzi and salted duck eggs. I don't know how many times better than ours.

Ling Xiao took a deep look at her. This Erlan is really not simple. She knows a lot and knows how to be a person. If she can always use her well in the future, she is an excellent helper.

"Let's do what Erlan said. Don't be too flamboyant when you send it to the two little masters. It's not a joke."

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I will naturally wish the queen a good afternoon in the morning.

After saying good morning, after sitting down, the queen said to everyone: "Originally, this is also a big festival, which needs to be celebrated in the palace, but because it is very close to the summer solstice, and this dynasty pays special attention to the summer solstice, the palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are busy preparing for summer solstice sacrifices and night banquets. Naturally, they don't care about the Dragon Boat Festival. Give some rewards to the sisters to live in their own children's palace.

At that time, Xie Guifei stabbed a few cold words, "The queen is naturally very busy, not as much as us doing nothing all day."

After the noble concubine is the same deputy, she generally has the right to cooperate with the six palaces. However, although the emperor of this dynasty spoils the noble concubine, he did not give her this power. It is said that Xie Guifei also made a special offer to the emperor for this, which was explicitly hinted several times. Finally, the emperor was impatient and even snuged the noble concubine for a while, so she did not dare to mention it again.

However, in front of others, there will always be an indignity, and there is no exception in the queen's palace. The queen is kind and generous, and she never cares about her. This time, it was the same. Obviously, everyone heard the voice of Xie Guifei, but she still smiled dignifiedly. "If you have nothing to do, you can make some soup for the emperor with your own hands, so as to make the emperor happy."

And when the medicine concubine saw that the noble concubine pointed the spearhead at the gentle and bully queen, she did not get in with it. She just said some words of concern to Ling Xiao, which seemed very close. The unknown low-level palace concubine still looked at Ling Xiao enviously, and she knew in her heart that the medicine concubine still did not give up to attract her.

In fact, after Luo Shang obviously betrayed the medicine concubine, the medicine concubine didn't say anything to her for a long time. She was probably worried about meeting another Luoshang. She not only couldn't get a helper, but also was laughed at for nothing. Seeing that Ling Xiao was alone in the palace and had less contact with people, especially the noble concubine, there was no sign of union at all, so he thought about her again.

In Ling Xiao's opinion, Xie Guifei was really arrogant, so she competed with the queen and turned to satirize Yaofei. Naturally, she also surrounded Ling Xiao.

"The dignified second-class concubine actually whispered to a lowly talented person. That's all. Don't make wedding clothes for others at that time." Xie Guifei said and laughed, and this was obviously to expose the scar of the medicine concubine.

The word "low" was extremely contemptuous. Ling Xiao lowered his head and pretended not to be talking about himself, but the medicine concubine turned pale with anger.

Regardless of the quarrel between several empresses, Ling Xiao suddenly thought that he was so excluded in his palace, even worse than Xuan Yu and others. Is it really just because he is unfavored? Or is it because the medicine concubine deliberately oppresses her in order to woo her, so that she can understand the current affairs? Or did the noble concubine burn the flames on her in order to attack her opponent?

What about the queen? Is she really as weak as she looks? Ling Xiao still remembers that on the first day, the queen said "friendliness" to her, and she pretended to be stupid.

There are other things, so many women, little masters... Ling Xiao looked at the Zhaoyang Palace with Yan Xiaoyan and suddenly felt a chill.

Sure enough, as soon as I returned to Qiluan Hall, a lot of rewards were given out, including food and use, but I could have a good holiday.

As soon as the big salted duck egg was peeled, the golden oil flowed out, dripping on the snow-white egg white egg white, which made people drool. The smell of fragrance made them hungry. In the past, at home, Ling Xiao liked the salted duck eggs marinated by his mother's hand, and put them in the colorful ducks he made by himself. He couldn't help eating them for a long time.

The palace is smoked with Cangshu and Baizhi, and put it in the incense bag. Everyone wears it with him, and there is a smell everywhere. Instead, it hides the original smell of calamus, but it is not bored at all. This is the unique smell of the Dragon Boat Festival. What's more, the people in the palace are very auspicious. Although I dare not say that these can really exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters, they can also disperse snakes, insects and ants in the corners, which are all excellent.

In addition to these, realju is indispensable for the Dragon Boat Festival, and everyone drinks some. Speaking of this, it took Er Lan a few days to embroider insoles and purses for the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs before getting them back. She began to prepare for them a few days ago. After Ling Xiao knew it, in addition to sighing that she was quick, she was also a little moved.

He was probably in a good mood and had a good appetite. After lunch for a short time, Ling Xiao ate another bacon-flavored zongzi, sat in the yard to rest, and felt bored. Thinking that there are still some of the materials left to make the savory bag, and there are many cut corners, so I thought about what to do.

Qingwu took the things and put them on the stone chair in the yard. Ling Xiao picked them up a few times, and his eyes bent, and he had an idea.

When the sky gradually darkened, Ling Xiao had a brightly colored gadget in his hand. It is a sunflower disk-shaped smiling face stitched with colorful cloth, curved eyes embroidered with black silk thread, and a small mouth embroidered with red silk thread, vividly like the face of a cute little girl.

"Miss's hand is so clever." Qingwu's eyes were shining, and he clapped his hands and praised.

Ling Xiao also had a warm smile on her face. Looking at the little sunflower just made in her hand, her thoughts seemed to be a little erratic. She thought of something a long time ago...

When she was 6 years old, her mother made a doll in a colorful skirt with rags. She was accidentally seen by Yue Chan and asked for it. Although Ling Xiao was reluctant to give up, her sister liked it, and she did not say no, but she didn't expect that in less than two days, she saw the doll that was tattered and stained with dirt outside the yard, and even could see the footprints from it, which were traces of being stepped on fiercely. She found a place to bury the doll, and then she never let her mother do it again.

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but be a little dim. She put something on the table and said lightly, "Put it away."

Qingwu didn't know about this. I don't know what happened to the young lady. She was about to speak.

"It's a cute little thing. It's a pity to put it away." Ling Xiao suddenly looked at it again and looked a little reluctant. "Take it to the Lan Xuanshi to see if Mu Handi Ji likes it or not. If you like it, give it to her."

"Yes, Miss." Qingwu picked up the sunflower and patted it. It was very thick and soft. At a glance, I knew that there was a lot of cotton stuffed in it. Whether it was for playing, as a cushion or a small pillow, it was excellent.

On this day, Mo Chang came to return the gift in person and gave some food and sachets, while Lin Xuanyu sent a few hand-made dishes for dinner. The Lan Xuanshi did not send anyone over, but only thanked him when Qingwu sent something. There is no one else. A petless talent is lonely in the palace.

The Dragon Boat Festival passed like this, and soon ushered in the summer solstice, and also ushered in the first real face saint of Lingxiao.
