As soon as Bai Yan said that, everyone scattered like birds and beasts.The back was in a hurry, for fear that he would come to the truth and be arrested and returned to Tianshu Division to work.

The guests didn't look this way anymore, and continued to drink tea and snacks, but they had more considerations in their hearts.

And Xie Niannian ordered many people to look after the store, so he was going to take Chi Qing out to play.

Half of her foot had stepped out of the Tingyu Tower, she suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Bai Yan who was still in the shop: "What about you?"

Bai Yan shook his head, smiled and waved his hands as farewell: "I'll drop by, of course to go home and sleep."

Hearing this answer, Xie Niannian did not persuade him.He took Chi Qing's arm and went to the street, ready to go to the South Garden to see plum blossoms.

Fengjing South Garden was originally the emperor's private garden, with hundreds of hectares of cold plums.

Stacked rockery, winding corridors, ten steps is a scene, it is a rather delicate garden.

The empress wanted to have fun with all the people, so she opened the South Garden after she ascended the throne, and everyone can visit and play regardless of their status.

Xu Shi was approaching evening, the wind was blowing bitterly, and there were few pedestrians on the road.Xie Niannian put his hands in his sleeves so as not to feel cold.

Fortunately, Nanyuan is not far from West Street, so she can walk there, otherwise she would rather go home and eat roasted sweet potatoes.

"I'm free, did you find out the matter?"

Even if Xie Niannian didn't explain clearly, Chi Qing knew what she wanted to ask.

"Not really. I don't have much clue." She looked indifferent, as if the entire Tianshu Division had been busy for half a month, and finally got nothing, and she didn't feel it was a pity.

But Xie Niannian felt distressed, the corners of his eyes drooped, and he couldn't understand: "Why is this so?"

"We've been together for so long, we still know each other's behavior. We can guess what she wants to do, so naturally she can."

Because the ending was predictable, Chi Qing didn't care too much, and could in turn comfort Xie Niannian.

"You can always find your feet." She frowned slightly, as if remembering something troublesome: "Just move slowly, I'm keeping you in check."

Xie Niannian has been picked up by people from Tianshu Division recently, even if there is no one at times, there are shadow guards following him.

Most of the time it is Chifu, Tianshusi, Tingyulou three points and one line.I didn't go to the temple fair a few days ago.

She should be a person who does whatever she wants, looking at the clouds in the morning, singing the wind in the evening, and wanting to see anything new.Now that her movements are restricted, Chi Qing always feels impatience unconsciously.

Pulling Chi Qing's hand over and wrapping it in his sleeves together, Xie Niannian's brows and eyes stretched, and his voice was extremely light: "It doesn't matter. Even if I stay at home, someone will always come to amuse me."

This is He Shu.Xie Niannian really doesn't understand why there are always some people who think that because of their high status, they can be superior and oppress ordinary people at will.

Xuanzhou is, Fengjing is even more so.

"The first emperor paid more attention to affection, and cared for princes and generals a lot. The etiquette and laws all followed the old system, and most of them were hereditary. Therefore, officials valued the people less than ordinary people. It is as difficult as going to heaven for ordinary people to change their identities in vain."

"Your Majesty has improved slightly after rectification, but freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, and it is not so easy to change their minds."

Xie Niannian understands that Chi Qing said that the first emperor valued love, but it was actually a beautification.

To put it bluntly, he was too conservative, relied on powerful officials everywhere, and was afraid of rebellion, so he tried to win over them by giving more benefits.

After several rounds, there are already many factions in the DPRK and China, and they are fighting each other.Otherwise, it would not be so difficult for Zhao Zhuozhi after he ascended the throne.

She privately thought that the only thing the late emperor did right was that he failed to follow the old system and appointed Zhao Zhuoyu, who was neither a direct descendant nor an eldest daughter, as the empress dowager.

The South Garden has arrived, passing through the auspicious crane and auspicious cloud wall, there are patches of plum forests and paths for people to walk in.

Perhaps it was already late, and there were no people on the road at this time, making it even more quiet and elegant.

The wintersweet blooms first, the buds are all over the branches, and the fragrance is striking.

But it doesn't make people feel tired, but it is clear with ice and snow, and every breath is refreshing.

Xie Niannian let go of his hand, "Da Da" ran to the front, unable to move his eyes away.There are not only plum blossoms in her eyes, but also more things that Chi Qing can't understand.

No matter how many times she has seen the wind, flowers, snow and moon, fireworks in the world, she will still be as happy as when she first saw them.

This kind of joy is very contagious, so Chi Qing also relaxes.Xie Niannian looked at the flowers, and she looked at Xie Niannian.

"Not only the nobles feel that they are noble, but most of the common people are also afraid of getting into trouble. So they avoid it as much as they can. It's rare to see people like you."

Xie Niannian turned to look at her, tilted his head slightly, thinking that it was of course!I grew up under the glory of socialism, of course I believe in equality for all!

Seeing this, Chi Qing smiled lightly, which was even more eye-catching than plum blossoms.

"pretty good."

I was praised again!Feeling that his three views have been recognized, Xie Niannian began to try to raise his tail again.

It's just that the corners of his mouth hadn't fully turned up, and Chi Qing added: "So why did you go to the Duke's Mansion to be a cook?"

The Duke's Mansion is not a good place to go. Although there is a lot of money, the young ladies and gentlemen in it are too difficult to serve, and it is common to be punished and beaten.

Xie Niannian's smile froze.

She never thought that Chi Qing would ask this question!

In fact, Xie Niannian also knows that her personality is not very similar to the original body.In Lihua Village, he could still explain it with "I haven't seen you in many years, a lot has changed", but how could I lie to Chi Qing.

Xie Niannian continued to look at the plum blossoms pretending to be calm, but his hands began to twist his sleeves unconsciously: "Well, to learn cooking skills."

There was no answer for a while.Xie Niannian secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that he had been fooled.

But a slender and beautiful hand reached out, broke off the plum blossom covered with buds, and handed it to her again.

Chi Qing stood holding the plum blossom, his posture was calm and unhurried, and his aura of nobility was exactly the same as that of the plum blossom.

"I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion can't teach you your cooking skills."

Xie Niannian took the plum blossom branch with a guilty conscience, squinted his eyes and began to think of a way.

If she continued to pretend to be stupid, and insisted that she had a sudden epiphany and her temperament changed drastically, Chi Qing would have nothing to do with it.still

Before he could figure it out, the broken hair around his ears was brushed behind his ears.

Xie Niannian looked up and met Chi Qing's smiling eyes.

She suddenly understood the meaning, and Chi Qing didn't care about it, nor did she care.This is for yourself, an extremely reassuring trust.

"If anyone else asks, remember to find a better reason." Chi Qing said.

Xie Niannian nodded obediently, holding the plum branch behind his back, then stood on tiptoe, and took a mouthful towards the corner of Chi Qing's mouth.

Thinking of running after the kiss, Chi Qing grabbed her back just as she was about to retreat.

Chi Qing lowered his eyes, his slender and thick eyelashes cast a small shadow, and there was no light in his eyes, which made him look extraordinarily deep.

"Crooked."

Then leaned over and gave Xie Niannian a standard kiss.

Xie Niannian's lips felt cold, and so did his face.She opened her eyes wide, just in time to see fine snow falling all over the sky, falling on the branches of plum blossoms, on the weeds by the roadside, and also falling on the hair of the two of them.

It's like going on an outing hand in hand, watching plum blossoms and sharing white heads.

After resting at home for a few days, Ting Yulou was obviously different when it reopened.

Few people knew Xie Niannian during Qiushou, but after that day, the news flew all over Fengjing as if he had grown wings.Even Tingyu Tower became more lively.

After all, those who want to get involved and find a way, always feel that Xie Niannian is a little girl.Why can't Chi Qing, still can't touch her?

Then I realized that I couldn't move.

All kinds of money and gifts were sent to the stage, but Xie Niannian returned them all.He tried every means to find out the news, but Xie Niannian reprimanded impatiently: "If you don't come for tea, just leave, don't hinder me from doing business."

The worst ones were those who tried to threaten and intimidate. At least they were beaten and thrown out of the store, and at worst they were taken directly to Tianshu Division.

This went on for a few days, and finally stopped.Xie has time to cook new dishes every year.

She asked someone to get a lot of plum blossoms, dried them in the sun, and they were still fragrant.

In "Shanjia Qinggong", there was a dish called plum blossom soup cake. The recipe is simple, and the dish is just ordinary noodle soup.

Just add the plum blossoms, and it is the romance of the world.

The water soaked in plum blossoms and sandalwood powder is used to knead the dough, and then pressed into a beautiful plum shape with a mold.

The most difficult thing is hanging chicken soup. You must skim off the oil to make the soup clear and refreshing, fresh but not greasy.

Boil plum blossom noodle cakes and put them in chicken soup, which is a bowl of plum blossom soup cakes.

There is no plum blossom in the soup, but it seems to have a faint plum fragrance lingering after eating, as if you are in a plum garden.

Xie Niannian pickled sweet-scented osmanthus plum sauce, dipped in pasta or drunk with water, appetizing and quenching thirst.

Somehow, plum blossom soup cakes suddenly became popular, and major restaurants followed suit.

Nineteen complained that someone had stolen his idea, and in the next second, a eunuch was ordered by the empress to present a plaque - "The First Fragrance in the World".

Xie Niannian:?

Zhao Zhuoqu has never eaten it!What does she want?

When Chi Qing came back at night and heard the news, he even went straight into the palace with a knife in hand.

This plaque is really powerful, many people came here admiringly, and the whole Tingyu building became busy.

For a while, the building was filled with warm fragrance, and opening the door was like a spring breeze blowing on the face, warm and fragrant.

Xia Qingzhi thought so.

When she came, it seemed that Xie Niannian was taken aback, and the melon seeds were knocked off.

Hurry up to meet her, and take her to the private room on the second floor to take a seat, and then brought her a bowl of plum blossom soup cakes, and a few shortcakes stuffed with osmanthus and plums.

"Thank you girl, wait a moment."

Seeing that Xie Niannian turned around to leave, she called out quickly.

Xie Niannian sat down with a puzzled face, wondering what the heroine could talk to him about.It can't be that Chi Qing beat up the empress and wants to ask for peace, right?

Xia Qingzhi pursed her lips and smiled, her elegance seemed to be engraved in her bones.She scooped up a spoonful of soup cakes with a spoon, chewing and tasting them slowly.

"It's really fragrant." She admired.

"It's good that Miss Xia likes it." Xie Niannian smiled brightly and his eyes sparkled. It seemed that being praised by Xia Qingzhi was a very happy thing.

Seeing Xia Qingzhi's heart filled with affection, she wanted to pinch Xie Niannian's face.

"You don't have to be so polite, just call me Qingzhi."

Her tone of voice and movements made people feel very comfortable, not as cold as Chi Qing, nor as scorching as Zhao Zhuoqu.

Just right, no wonder so many people like her.

Xie Niannian was kind and generous: "What does Qing Zhi want from me?"

Little did he know that he was also highly regarded in Xia Qingzhi's heart - a rare heart of a child.

"I apologize to you on behalf of Zhuozhi. She wrote the inscription without authorization and caused you trouble." Xia Qingzhi spoke slowly, with an extremely sincere tone.

Why is it really asking for peace?

Xie Niannian leaned back, his eyes started to wander, could it be that Chi Qing really went to beat up Zhao Zhuozhi that night?

I think so in my heart, but I still have to express it clearly: "What's the matter. Your Majesty's plaque has made my teahouse business so many times better. Who doesn't like to make money?"

Seeing Xie Niannian's reaction, Xia Qingzhi covered her sleeves and rolled her eyes with a smile.

She lowered her eyebrows and looked at the ups and downs of plum blossom soup cakes in the bowl, the smile on the corner of her mouth remained undiminished: "So, I can understand why Master Chi likes you."

The client was full of question marks, she didn't know why, how did the hostess know?

Xie Niannian didn't know yet, but in Xia Qingzhi's eyes at this time, "tangled" was written on the corners of his eyes and brows, and he almost said why.

"You know, Mr. Chi and Zhuo Zhi grew up together, and their friendship is more than a confidant."

Hearing this, Xie Niannian became energetic and began to listen carefully.

"After Zhuo Qu ascended to the Great Treasure, he and Lord Chi supported him all the way to get to where he is today. There is no need to mention the hardships involved."

"After the world is peaceful and the turmoil has settled down, she always feels that Mr. Chi is not in the right state."

Xie Niannian was taken aback, only feeling that he had vaguely grasped something: "What's wrong?"

"She once complained to me. She said that she was getting more and more silent. She used to be able to choke people, but now she either directly does it or doesn't say a word."

"It was said that someone was assassinated a few years ago. When the tip of the knife came, Chi Qing seemed to bump into it. It gave her a big shock."

"She was worried that Chi Qing would hurt her body if she worked on errands all night long. She just avoided her early morning and tried every means to give her supplements."

From Bai Yan to Zhao Zhuoqu, and now to Xia Qingzhi, Xie Niannian was finally able to connect a complete story from their few words.

She finally understood what she should catch.

"Later," Xie Niannian murmured, she already knew the answer later, but she always wanted to confirm it again.

"Later, Master Chi disappeared in Xuanzhou, and she was so anxious that she didn't even want to wear her favorite Luomei makeup."

"When she comes back, Zhuo Que will finally feel at ease." She turned her head to look at the bustling street scene outside the window, feeling helpless: "I advised her to go and talk to Master Chi in person, but she always refused."

Xia Qingzhi smiled and sighed: "These people, maybe they are too introverted. They can still be hypocritical and submissive with those powerful officials, and they can also say that they pay attention to their body. Why can't they say it when they are in front of familiar people. "

"So Zhuo Que didn't intend to cause trouble for you this time, she was just surprised by Master Chi's change, and wanted to thank you."

Xie Niannian shook his head, expressing that he didn't care.In fact, she doesn't want to stay in Tingyu Tower anymore, but wants to hug Chi Qing.

If Xia Qingzhi wasn't still here, she would have already left.

Xia Qingzhi also saw Xie Niannian's absent-mindedness, she smiled and said: "You don't have to accompany me anymore, you can go to work, remember to ask Master Chi to go to the morning court tomorrow."

What was left to her was Xie Niannian's grateful smile, and the sound of pendants colliding as they drifted away.
