In the morning, Yin got up early in the morning as usual. When Ji Ling woke up, Yin had already washed up, had breakfast, and went to court.
Ji Ling sometimes couldn't help but admire Yin's physical strength, sleeping for only a short while every night, but still having the energy to get up every morning.
The emperor is not something ordinary people can do!
She remembered that before time travel, when she went to visit the Forbidden City, she saw that Emperor Yongzheng was diligent in his work and would get up at five o'clock every day. He would start reading and criticizing papers at around 5:30, and he would also meet with ministers during breakfast. It was simply...
Don't waste a minute.
Really very self-disciplined.
Ji Ling lay paralyzed on the bed, wishing he could become one with the bed.
Qixi looked inside several times, and finally asked Ji Ling: "Master, do you want to bring breakfast in?"
Ji Ling turned over and buried half of her face in the pillow, saying, "Just what I want!"
I heard Qixi's whispering instructions outside. Not long after, Bixue and Eyun walked in carrying a small dining table and placed it in front of Ji Ling's bed. Breakfast pastries were brought in like running water.
Ji Ling couldn't sleep when she smelled the sweet aroma of pastries. After struggling for a while, she still felt that her waist was very sore.
Qixi came over, helped her get out of bed carefully, and knelt down to put on embroidered shoes for her. Evian then brought in the hot water and towels for washing. After Ji Ling finished washing her face and gargling her mouth, she felt refreshed.
I cheered up a bit.
She looked at the dining table. There was a coconut milk and osmanthus crystal cake on the table, which she had asked Xiao Dazi to make a while ago.
Refreshing and sweet coconut milk and shredded coconut are mixed together, plus a little bit of soft glutinous rice flour.
In addition, pour the sweet-scented osmanthus into the boiling water, mix well while adding shredded sugar, wait until it cools down, then add the lotus root powder, and finally let it sit for an hour until it solidifies, then you can cut it with a knife.
Ji Ling often made this pastry before traveling through time. It was easy to make and delicious. She told Xiao Dazi the method, and Xiao Dazi made it several times, but it didn't quite taste right to her.
But this time, it seemed to be successful. Moreover, Xiao Dazi also used a knife to cut it into the shape of a flower. It was crystal clear, like several large pieces of jelly, and it was particularly beautiful.
Ji Ling reached out and took a piece and put it into his mouth. His eyes suddenly narrowed. The ratio of sweetness and lotus root starch was just right. It was so delicious!
After eating a few pieces, she suddenly thought of it, raised her head and asked Qixi: "What did the emperor use for breakfast?"
Qixi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master still cares about the emperor after all! Master, the emperor had a bowl of shredded chicken noodles and a bowl of millet soup for breakfast."
Ji Ling heard this and asked, "Just these two things?"
Qixi nodded and said: "That's all, the emperor got up a little late. I saw that the emperor was in a hurry. I'm afraid he didn't have time to have a good meal."
Ji Ling held her cheek and looked at the coconut milk and osmanthus crystal cake on the table, and couldn't help but feel that Yin was really unlucky.
She thought for a while and said to Qixi: "Go and tell Xiao Dazi that he made the coconut milk and osmanthus crystal cake today very well. The taste is very suitable. Be sure to remember the sugar, water, and lotus root powder."
Put it in a certain proportion, and next time the emperor comes, we will present it to the emperor for a taste!"
Qixi agreed in a loud voice, and Ji Ling heard the hibiscus bird in the yard begin to chirp, the sound was melodious and sweet.
There are things Yin gave her everywhere, and she is surrounded by Yin's gifts everywhere. This is the emperor's reward, and it is also the fourth master's heart.
Ji Ling raised her head slightly and looked out the window at the clear light, which was full of blue, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
After finishing breakfast, Ji Ling thought about going to see Shengjian. She had just put on her makeup and walked out with Qixi and others. She saw a group of people passing by in a hurry, but Maobin also came out.
Maobin walked by chance and was right in front of her, so she didn't see her.
Ji Ling looked at her back and whispered: "Empress Maobin never likes to move around. It's past the time for greetings from Kunning Palace. Where is she going?"
Before Qixi could answer, Xiao Fenzi heard from behind, so she came forward and whispered: "Master, I'm afraid you haven't noticed that I'm looking at you. Empress Maobin has been running to Changchun Palace recently."
He only said this and then withdrew.
Changchun Palace?
Ji Ling thought for a while and wondered, hadn't the concubine always been holding Nian Fei's thigh? Why did she change her temper and go to Changchun Palace now?
It's strange, I haven't seen her and Concubine Qi get along well before, so why did the situation suddenly change?
If the concubine Qi, who talks a lot but has a soft heart, and the concubine Mao, who is forbearing and cautious, are really connected... this fighting power...
Ji Ling stared at Mao Bin's back for a while, and saw the palace maid behind her also leaving the palace gate, and Jingyang Palace suddenly became quiet.
Qixi saw her serious expression and said softly: "Master, should we go and see Mr. Zhang?"
Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and said: "Go, of course, I have to see the fried food!"
Yonghe Palace, main hall.
Ning Bin sat blankly under the window, looking at the flowers outside the window in trance. She maintained a posture and did not move for a long time. If the broken hair on her cheeks were not slightly blown by the breath, people would almost think that she was a statue.
statue.
Mei Nian couldn't bear to look at it, so he stepped forward and whispered: "Master, the sun is not bright today, so I will accompany you out, just walk around in this yard? You got up before dawn, and you have been sitting like this.
It’s not a big deal!”
After a long while, Ning Bin slowly shook her head and said, "Don't disturb the tranquility of this palace."
If Mei Nian wanted to say anything else, Ning Bin frowned and said, "Get out."
Mei Nian couldn't say anything else, so he had to bend his knees and was about to go out when Ning Bin scolded her in a low voice: "I asked you to invite Mao Pin over, have you invited me?"
There was a trace of hesitation on Mei Nian's face, but he just said hesitantly: "Go back to the master, slave... slave... I went to invite you in the morning. Empress Maobin is still resting, so I will go to Jingyang Palace later."
Ning Bin's eyebrows moved slightly, and she slowly turned her head and said, "Is she still resting? She is the one who loves to get up early!"
Menian lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Ning Bin let out a long sigh and said, "Wow, now even you are avoiding me."
When Menian was forced by these words, he immediately knelt down, with tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "I don't have it! Master, I went to invite Empress Maobin early in the morning. She said she was not feeling well and wanted to rest."
Besides, the slave had no choice but to shamelessly plead again and again, but the concubine Maobi just refused.
Seeing her cold words, I'm afraid that her physical discomfort is a lie and her unwillingness to come to our Yonghe Palace is real! I don't dare to report the truth to you, Master, because... I'm really afraid that you'll feel chilled!"
Ning Bin was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed in a low voice and said: "Cold in the heart? My heart... has been completely cold since the day the emperor rebuked me and demoted me to the position of concubine.
!”
Her voice gradually became lower and she seemed to be crying and laughing.
