In the pavilion of Duke Chengen's mansion, Shu Liuyun was entertaining the ladies from various mansions.

The Nuan Pavilion was built between the plum trees in the palace. First, a platform was built about half a meter above the ground, and a large banquet hall was built on it that could seat fifty or sixty people.

Overall, it can be said to be a carved and painted building, with a verandah outside and a golden ring every few steps below. When the weather is good, you can hang some parrots and thrushes. There is a floor-to-ceiling fire wall indoors. Even if the window is opened, it is as warm as spring. You can still see the red plum blossoms shining outside the window, and you can faintly hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the theater in the distance.

Because it is a place for entertaining women, the decoration of the house is very elegant and elegant. There are paintings on the walls of flowers, birds, fish and insects by famous people from past dynasties. There are various fresh fruits brought from the south on the table, and there are also some fresh fruits that were just made in the morning. The six-color tea snacks are placed in an eight-treasure heart-saving box together with the candies.

Everyone was just waiting at the second gate to salute when they heard that the prince had already gone to the main hall in front. They then dispersed, and everyone returned to the Nuan Pavilion in twos and threes.

Shu Liuyun sat at the top and ordered the maids to serve a bowl of ginger tea to all the ladies who had come in so that they could go away the cold.

The third young lady from Duke Qi's residence sat at Shu Liuyun's elbow, holding the bowl of ginger soup to her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand and taking a sip. He looked at Shu Liuyun and said, "Sister Liuyun, didn't the two sisters Ruoyun and Yiyun say they would come back with His Highness the Crown Prince? I think they have already entered the mansion by now!"

Shu Liuyun smiled back and said: "I know you and Ruoyun are good! Don't worry, they two will go back to the room to rest for a while, and they will be here soon."

The head of the Duke of Qi's palace was named Jiang, and this third lady was the only legitimate lady in the Jiang family who was not yet married. The two sisters above her are also legitimate daughters. They are now married and are accompanying their mother-in-law to wait on the ladies where they rest.

Miss Jiang San has a good relationship with Shu Ruoyun. They are both outstanding eldest sisters, and their mother's eyes will never fall on her. Maybe because they have a common topic, the two of them often play together on weekdays.

All the daughters in Nuan Pavilion were talking quietly because of His Royal Highness the Prince who had just entered. Regardless of his status and power, the Prince's face alone could keep these ladies talking for three days and three nights.

No matter how lively the discussion was, no one would be blind to ask Shu Liuyun anything! In one year's time, Shu Liuyun would go to guard the former prince's mausoleum. It was always embarrassing to mention the current prince in front of her.

Even though Shu Liuyun didn't care about this at all, she even hoped to hear more news about Yan Sinian. Shu Liuyun planned to use this banquet to establish his reputation as a virtuous, virtuous, loyal and outstanding person. During the year when the mausoleum is being built, I will try to find a way to live in the palace, preferably in the East Palace. It's a pity that her relationship with Yan Sinian was fine in the past few years, but has become much colder in recent years. If she couldn't persuade Yan Sinian this time, then she would have to rely on the people in Kunde Palace. She heard that they were going to take Ruoyun and the others back today, so she didn't know if she could go with them.

At this moment, a person dressed as a maid poked her head into the room. When Bixi saw it, she gently pushed the jade beside her to let her see.

Upon seeing this, Jade walked out, lowered her voice, and said sternly: "What are you doing? You're sticking your head and shrinking your head!"

As the most favored maid around Shu Liuyun, Jade is usually the one who looks at people with her nostrils. In the Duke's mansion, she dared to write a few words about even the concubine ladies. Not to mention those aunts and concubines, they almost pointed their noses and cursed.

When the servant girl saw Feicui, she hurriedly saluted, leaned close to Feicui and whispered a few words, which made Feicui's expression change at that moment.

It turned out that Xiaoba was going to the Nuan Pavilion in the backyard with dumplings and steamed buns. As soon as he entered the plum garden, Xiaoba heard Jiaozi say: "Master, the plum blossoms blooming in Duke Cheng'en's Mansion are among the few in the capital."

Xiaoba is not interested in flowers. She has plant-type powers. If she stands in front of a flower for a long time, she can scare the flower into autism (autism here is purely literal). Of course, this refers to living things with root systems. Flowers, those cut dead flowers won't.

At this time, Xiaoba heard the dumplings and continued: "Plum blossoms are really a good thing. They are not only beautiful but also delicious. Are they steamed buns?"

Baozi saw the look of the dumplings flying over and answered with a smile: "Sister is right, plum blossoms can not only make [Plum Blossom Soup Cake], [Tangdian Plum], [Plum Porridge], but a single plum blossom can also make [Honey"] stained plum blossoms].”

When Diaozi saw Baozi taking up his words, he was glad that Baozi was smart.

"I remember there seems to be a poem specifically about [honey-soaked plum blossoms], right?"

"Yes, that poem is called [Honey Pickled Plum Blossoms], let me think about it!" Baozi didn't know what the dumplings were planning, so he could only follow the dumplings' words: "The clear snow water in the vat brews the spring cold, and the honey-dotted plum blossoms are exposed for dinner. . There is no smoke and fire in the sentence, who would teach me to go to the Shaoling Altar."

Originally, this was Xiaoba's first time riding in a sedan carried by two people, and the swaying motion made her feel sleepy. Now that I heard the conversation between dumplings and steamed buns, I immediately became energetic.

Xiaoba opened the sedan curtain, looked at the plum blossoms blooming in the garden around him, and asked Dumpling: "Can these flowers be eaten?"

Seeing Xiaoba open the sedan curtain, Diaozi signaled the maid carrying the sedan to stop, and stretched out her hand to help Xiaoba out.

Baozi also stepped forward and put the cloak in his arms on Xiaoba.

This cloak is golden and emerald. It seems to be dark green at a cold glance, but when you move, you can see the golden light, because it is made of peacock feathers on the outside, and a layer of ferret is added on the inside. Fur lining.

When Xiaoba got off the sedan, he was not far from the second door. At this time, there was a boy hiding in the corner, looking into the garden through the leaky window in the wall, and he saw Xiaoba at a glance.

The boy wiped his eyes to make sure that he had not mistakenly identified the person. He followed the wife's instructions, took note of the color of Xiaoba's clothes, and turned around to report the news.

Xiaoba ignored the peeping gaze, she was waiting for Dumpling's answer. If the flowers were really edible, she planned to pick more and ask Aunt Fu to make them for her. She had always thought that plum blossom cakes were plum blossom-shaped cakes, but she never expected that flowers would actually be placed inside.

Dumpling naturally nodded and said: "As long as the master likes it, let alone the flowers here, even the flowers in the imperial garden, the master can't pick them."

Xiaoba glanced at the dumplings.

He reached out and took the bun and walked away, saying as he walked: "Help me see which flowers are delicious."

The servants wanted to stop him, but Dumpling glared at him and just stood there, not daring to move. One of them, who should be the person in charge, boldly stood up and said: "Auntie, please first ask your master to meet my eldest lady and then enjoy the flowers! And the plum blossoms in this garden are all When the eldest daughter was born, the Duke ordered the flowers to be planted. No one can pick the flowers without the eldest daughter!"

Dumpling sneered and said: "Our master only listens to His Highness the Crown Prince's words. You heard it just now. His Highness told our Master to have fun, that is, he can't move without her. Otherwise, go and ask His Highness the Crown Prince's decree."

The servant girl almost knelt down in front of Dumpling.

Dumpling looked at her like that and didn't want to say anything more to her! He said directly: "Okay, you guys are just carrying the sedan to see this person off. This person has already entered the second gate. It has nothing to do with you. Go down!" After that, he went to chase Xiaoba and Baozi.

The servants and women discussed it and asked the manager to deliver the message to the eldest lady. They were also more thoughtful and did not dare to accuse Xiaoba. They just told Jade that the maid brought by the prince wanted to break the eldest lady's plum blossoms.
