Spring Forest Evening

"What method?" Zhou Heng asked with some doubts.

"Peppermint cake," Shen Yi raised her eyebrows proudly to remind her: "The mint cake you made by yourself, Ah Heng, you will have to work hard to make it again later, and then I will take it to the palace and let our Empress Dowager, please taste it!"

"Peppermint cake?" Zhou Heng was a little hesitant. Even if she didn't know much about the food, she knew that this kind of food was easy to make a fuss about. Entering the palace, isn't this a ready-made handle to someone else?

After thinking about it, although she felt that Shen Yi should not make a mistake in such a matter, she still asked:

"Although the mint cake is very suitable for this season, some people may not like it. They will find it too refreshing, and it may not be suitable for the stomach..."

Speaking of this, she somewhat understood Shen Yi's plan, and confirmed with her in a low voice:

"So elder sister, you think that this mint cake is not good for... people who have conceived, right?"

"That's right," Shen Yi smiled happily: "It's really a coincidence, this mint, our old lady grows it in the yard, she is afraid of the heat, she used to say that her skin was itchy every day before it was hot. Forbearance, every once in a while, he finds a way to live in Zhuangzi outside the city, or he goes to the temple. Lord Hou is a dutiful son, oh yes, and his concubine room also looks very anxious, and then she thinks about it. After finding such a way, I planted a lot of mint in the old lady’s yard, saying that it can refresh the mind, clear away heat and prevent mosquitoes.”

"I don't know if it will work. Anyway, it's true that the old lady praised that bitch for her filial piety. Last year, Ah Hua had a cough for a while. The old lady found a folk remedy from somewhere. She said that fresh mint crucian carp soup can cure children. Long cough, I thought that her love for her grandson should be true, so I let her go. Anyway, Master Hou also knew about it. Later, I don’t know whether it was the crucian carp soup or the soup prescribed by the doctor. Ah Hua really stopped coughing."

"Ah Hua is still young and ignorant. Ah Rong has grown up these few years. When he goes to play in the old lady's yard, he sometimes brings me a handful of mint leaves when he comes back. One handful, hehe. I was afraid that children would eat it randomly, so I went to ask the doctor, this peppermint grass is really good, but the doctor also said that some people need to take it with caution, especially pregnant women and parturients, then you say, we Isn’t the empress dowager just…hehe!”

"But what if the Queen Mother refuses to eat it?" Zhou Heng felt that this method might not work.

"That depends on the performance of the eldest sister!" Shen Yi said confidently, "Although you did it, when I entered the palace, I said that I had someone do it to honor her. The last time I entered the palace, it's not that I didn't Seeing her, this time she is going to allow me to enter the palace, which naturally means that I am in good health. For ordinary people, what is wrong with eating two pieces of mint cake? Besides, I will eat with her, little A piece of mint cake, you can eat it after two bites, the empress dowager must give me this bit of face, right?"

"Taking a step back, it doesn't really matter if you eat or not. When Uncle He gets the empress's words tomorrow, then look at the reaction of the group of people in the Compassion Ning Palace. It's almost the same. Don't worry, I will watch carefully when the time comes, and there will always be some tricks!"

This is true, Zhou Heng felt relieved, and afterward the two chatted for a while, Shen Yi took the opportunity to tell her the benefits of her younger brother. , has a title and status, and is really a good man.

Of course, being caught by the mother and daughter in the palace was a natural disaster. Although Zhou Heng was almost killed a few times before, it will always get better and better from now on, right?

Zhou Heng heard something, but he just smiled and didn't agree much. In fact, what stood between her and Shen Fu was not the immediate situation.

Not long afterward, Shen Fu and Uncle He came together and informed that they decided to rebuild the Wanqing Courtyard and Liufeng Pavilion to deceive others. Both Shen Yi and Zhou Heng expressed their anticipation for this, and hoped that the secret passages underneath could be opened up as soon as possible. .

After listening to Shen Yi's tactful expression of the empress dowager's physical condition, Uncle He readily decided to go to the palace tomorrow morning to meet the Empress Jiang for proof:

"It doesn't matter, I have to go anyway sooner or later!"

In this way, the matter is considered finalized.

Resting in the afternoon, something happened again. At that time, Zhou Heng was insisting that he move to the side room and give up the main room, but Shen Yi refused, saying that he would only stay for two days and go to the side room. Just stay here temporarily, don't move around.

The two were being polite to each other, Chun Yu came in, and couldn't help smiling when she saw this.

Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, Shen Yi took Zhou Heng's hand to let her sit down, and asked casually:

"Why, but what did the prince find?"

"Back to the princess, not the prince," Chun Yu replied, looked at Zhou Heng next, and decided to speak for the cousin in front of her eldest lady, then continued to answer in a somewhat mysterious way:

"This matter, in fact, we can't let the prince know!"

"Oh? It's quite curious to see you like this," Shen Yi asked as she wished, "Why don't you tell me?"

Chun Yu looked at Zhou Heng with a smile and said:

"Miss Biao, the concierge sent a message to the slave just now, saying that the shopkeeper in the previous shop found a good seal stone, and asked when we should go and have a look."

While speaking, he looked at Shen Yi, hoping that she would understand what he meant.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Shen Yi questioned her curiously. Zhou Heng had no choice but to give a vague explanation, but her explanation was just like what Uncle He and Chun Yu had misunderstood before. In Shen Yi's ears, it also became that Zhou Heng wanted to secretly send a seal to his sweetheart as a gift.

So like Uncle He, Shen Yi, who also thought of Shen Fu's birthday, clapped her hands happily and said:

"Oh, it's a good thing Chunyu you came in and said it now, otherwise, I almost forgot your prince's birthday, look at my eldest sister!"

At the same time, he took Zhou Heng's hand again and said: "My good sister, you really have a heart, ah, speaking of it, you have prepared for Ah Fu before, right? Don't be as knowledgeable as him! This time, elder sister, I can assure you, As long as it is given by you, Ah Fu will definitely think it is a priceless treasure, and will definitely cherish it!"

All right, the two of them are giggling in front of them, so let's go to that shop sometime, anyway, Shen Yi said that she would go out with her to find Shen Fu's birthday present, and also said that she could buy some of the Four Treasures of the Study for her eldest son. It also saves me from finding a reason to go out.

Moreover, at night, Zhou Heng, who was lying on the bed, inexplicably found that he wanted to see the top-quality black jade that the shopkeeper helped him find earlier, and after tossing and turning for a while, listening to Chuntao's slight snoring, Zhou Heng found that he even I have already thought about the use of that black jade at that time—

Just as Chun Yu and the others said, engrave a seal for Shen Fu.

As for the words on the seal, inexplicably, Zhou Heng felt that maybe someone could engrave the four words that he had paid for and mentioned on the original picture of the epiphyllum beauty:

Repeatedly.
