Emperor Mingzhao knew very well that his Atu was a greedy cat, so he had already arranged for people to go around to buy local fashionable snacks. Therefore, the carriage drove in Rose Ridge for only two quarters of an hour when someone on horseback chased him and brought him in.
Two huge food boxes.
Before the food box was opened, Wen Xiaotu could smell the sweet smell inside! She couldn't hide her excitement, "When did the emperor ask someone to buy it?!"
Emperor Mingzhao smiled faintly, but did not answer. Instead, he said: "Try to see if it suits your taste."
Wen Xiaotu excitedly opened the two three-layer food boxes with red pavilion patterns and took out the contents one by one. There were two plates of flower cakes, a plate of rose cakes, and a bowl of cakes sprinkled with rose sweet sauce.
cheese, a bottle of rose water and several boxes of rose rouge.
Rose dew is not toilet water, but a kind of fragrant dew that can be drunk. You can drink it by mixing it with water. It is not only sweet and delicious, but also leaves a fragrance in your mouth.
Only rose rouge is cosmetic. It can be used as eye shadow, blush and lipstick. Wen Xiaotu has a lot of such things, but this small box with enamel rose pattern is very exquisite. The emperor actually knows how to give women cosmetics.
She smiled and accepted it.
Of course, what Wen Xiaotu is most interested in here is the cheese, which is actually a sour and sweet dairy product with finely chopped almonds, chestnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, red beans, jujube paste and other toppings added to it. It is usually topped with
Add some honey to make steamed cheese with sugar, but this bowl of cheese is topped with a bright layer of rose sauce. It is really sweet, fragrant, beautiful and delicious, much better than honey!
Wen Xiaotu finished the bowl of cheese in one go, still quite unfinished.
The carriage moved forward slowly. Wen Xiaotu was eating snacks while admiring the scenery outside the window, "Huh? There are quite a few houses in Rose Ridge." - scattered here and there, white walls and black tiles dotted the landscape, but they were different.
It's a bit like living in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Needless to say, most of them were summer residences. The emperor went to the Summer Palace every year to stay there for summer vacation, and the courtiers also followed suit and built other residences around the Summer Palace.
"I suddenly remembered that Mrs. Yang Weihou seemed to have bought a summer house for Wen Xian, which seems to be in Rose Ridge..." Wen Xiaotu took a bite of the flower cake and murmured to himself.
After all, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has a cool climate, beautiful scenery, and is close to the official road. It is also a good choice to buy a house here.
Emperor Mingzhao said calmly: "Ignore it and go directly to Guanyin Temple to offer incense."
Wen Xiaotu said "oh".
Guanyin nunnery is located at the highest point of Rose Ridge. It is named "nunnery" naturally because the temple is not too big. However, compared with those ancient Buddhist temples, this nunnery is somewhat elegant and charming, and there are not many pilgrims in the nunnery.
A lot, very quiet and quiet.
The old lady received the pilgrims in a leisurely manner. She was not overly enthusiastic because Wen Xiaotu and his party were dressed in luxurious clothes. She also spoke slowly, and even the rhythm in the nunnery was a bit slower. Wen Xiaotu did not think this was the case.
The laziness is probably due to the aging of her soul. She quite likes this rhythm.
Wen Xiaotu didn't do much, he just randomly added a hundred taels of sesame oil money, briefly visited several temples in Guanyin Temple, and then went directly to the incense room to enjoy a vegetarian meal.
The vegetarian meal provided by Guanyin Temple is not as green and green as other temples. It also prepares rose porridge and rose shortbread in a suitable way. Naturally, there are also ordinary stir-fried and cold vegetarian dishes, which are light and delicious, and there are also extra
Send a box of rose sugar secretly made in the nunnery and a jar of rose jam.
It's considered thoughtful.
Wen Xiaotu pinched a piece of rose gum and put it into his mouth, and couldn't help but admire, "The cooking skills of Guanyin Nunnery are really good." - Probably because all the nunneries are sisters-in-law, so their life is a little more interesting than that of monks.
.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside: "I heard from Wanning County Master that the rose sauce specially made by Guanyin Temple on Rose Ridge is very delicious. Since you are here this time, I must ask the host to send more."
It only takes a few cans.”
Wen Xiaotu swallowed the rose gummy in her mouth and couldn't help but gasped. Her voice was gentle and thoughtful... It seemed like she was my other daughter!
She was about to ask the maid next to her to go outside and take a look when she suddenly heard a more familiar voice: "Really, that book... I want to give it a try!"
The voice was as clear and crisp as a silver bell, she was clearly her daughter!
The corner of Wen Xiaotu's mouth twitched, Xiao Nizi was out of the palace, which meant... today was the day when Fan Fan was leaving the palace to date Miss Yi.
"What a coincidence, isn't it?" Wen Xiaotu looked at His Majesty the Emperor.
Emperor Mingzhao simply said: "Ignore it."
Wen Xiaotu cursed: You must have known this a long time ago, right?
Not only did His Majesty the Emperor know about it for a long time, but he also plagiarized his son’s date idea!!
Wen Xiaotu still couldn't help her gossip. She quickly walked to the window and quietly opened a small gap. Unexpectedly, she saw a beautiful girl with a unique appearance...
By the way...what about the person involved, Fanfan?
Why is there only Wen Xian and her porridge?
Three pretty young ladies passed by the window, which was really eye-catching.
Wen Xiaotu quickly walked to the emperor and asked in a low voice: "Where is the fan?"
Emperor Mingzhao said without even raising an eyelid, "It's in the Dragon Carp Pond to the east." Because it was rumored that a carp once transformed into a dragon, it was called the Dragon Carp Pond.
Wen Xiaotu nodded: "This place is quite well arranged. You can enjoy flowers and scenery along the way, and when you get to the ridge, you can also pay homage to the Bodhisattva... Uh?!"
Wen Xiaotu suddenly felt that this process was inexplicably familiar!!
She has a dirty line. The idea of traveling to Rose Ridge, the Dog Emperor must have plagiarized your son's idea!!!
Damn it, can you still be a little more sincere?!
The emperor looked embarrassed after being seen through.
Wen Xiaotu was speechless and choked. After a long while, he said: "We will meet in Longli Pond and make a wish. What will be the next arrangements?"
Ming Zhao was stunned: "Do you also want to make a wish in Longli Pond?"
Wen Xiaotu's black line: "I'm asking Fanfan how to arrange the next step!!" Who asked you!
Ming Zhao's face had a gloomy look, "I had a vegetarian meal, and then I went to Wen Xian's house to pick roses to make rouge."
Wen Xiaotu nodded slightly, "My son is quite good at flirting..." What a good arrangement! He also asked his sister to accompany him, so that Mrs. Yi would not be cautious.
"This invitation should be from Wen Xian." Wen Xiaotu said calmly, inviting the young lady of the Yi family to pick roses and make rouge at the other house. This is obviously something that only the daughter's family can do. Moreover, the status of Fanfan
It's not appropriate to invite someone openly because of their gender, but if Fanfan and his sister appear together, it's a natural thing.
As for the Yi family, how could they refuse the princess's invitation? How could they dare to refuse?
What a good boy, your emotional intelligence is three ways ahead of your father's!
