Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 6 Unauthorized Stealing

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and even if ice is placed in the administration hall, it is still sultry. Every afternoon, the emperor is unbearable and unable to sit still, so he takes half an hour every afternoon at Shenshi to spend half an hour in the shade of the imperial garden. Take a walk to cool off the heat.

The emperor had a habit of not going to places with many people. He always liked to go to some remote tree-lined paths, and it was a bit wild to stroll down.

On this day, the emperor walked slowly to the Green Bamboo Garden. The bamboo was tall and green, and there was a pavilion in the garden. It was a cool place in summer. It was relatively remote in the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden.

About a hundred steps away from the garden, two girls suddenly appeared.

The one in the pink dress is holding the basket in both hands, the basket is heavy and pressing, while the dark blue one is holding the basket in one hand and a short shovel in the other.

The two of them were beaming, chatting and laughing, happily walking towards the other fork.

Hey, the girl in the pink dress is very familiar, isn't this the little concubine that climbed the bed?
The voice of their conversation came from a distance, and only the one in pink said:
"...the fat and tender one is cut into thin slices, heat the fragrant lard, cut a chili and stir-fry until fragrant, put the bamboo shoots into the stir-fry, fry until it is oily and brown, and then Sprinkle a little bit of salt out of the pot, and you'll be ready to pop bamboo shoots in oil, and it's delicious to eat. This method can best taste the taste of bamboo shoots."

"Wow~ Little Master, the servant's saliva is about to flow down!" The little girl in Tsing Yi exclaimed.

"Be patient~ Let's make another cold salad of bamboo shoots, cut the bamboo shoots into cubes and blanch them, add some sugar, sesame oil, vinegar, tempeh sauce and chili oil, mix them, and sprinkle some chopped peanuts. It's crisp and refreshing. Stew a pot of fragrant and soft white rice porridge to go with it, it's really a perfect summer match."

"Little Master, you know a lot~"

"Of course, I've eaten a lot before. For the leftover bamboo shoots, the older ones are dried into dried bamboo shoots, which can keep the umami taste. Put a handful of autumn stew, delicious and delicious..."

Seeing that the person was about to leave, the emperor gave Zhang Qing a wink.

Zhang Qing understood the idea, took small steps and hurried forward, shouting as he ran, "The little master in front of you, stop, Long Live Lord is here, I haven't come to meet you yet."

Hearing the voice, the two turned back together.

Lianhua's heart skipped a beat, she glanced at the emperor vigilantly, and quickly tugged at the cloth covering the basket, covering the bamboo shoots so tightly that she could vaguely see the shape of bamboo shoots.

After the cover was finished, he took Xiaoqing to Mr. Long Live and began to give the Wanfu ceremony. The basket and the short shovel were put aside.

The emperor thought to himself what that look was, like a thief: "flat body. What's in the basket?"

Here again, here again, the last time I met Mr. Long live on the roadside with tea, I asked the same question, but the tea was gone, this time it was bamboo shoots.

Lianhua said with some difficulty: "Master Hui, yes... it's bamboo shoots."

"Where did this bamboo shoot come from?"

"...picked from the Green Bamboo Garden." I just came out of the Bamboo Garden, did I ask for some reason?

"With permission?"

"Never..." No one of the palace chiefs picked them, so who would they ask for permission...

"Then you are guilty?"

Lianhua raised her head and waved her hands again and again, startled and scared, and hurriedly explained: "Long live lord, this is the same as picking flowers. Others pick flowers to decorate their rooms, while slaves pick bamboo shoots to decorate dishes. Pick flowers to get them. Bamboo shoots are also available.”

Long live Lord how to be rotten and rotten, either to covet her things or to detain her, the position is powerful and heavy, pinching her to death is as easy as pinching an ant.

This time, Lianhua was not as assertive as the last time. When she was caught stealing bamboo shoots on the spot, she felt guilty and was very frightened. She was afraid that the crime would be convicted.

The emperor sneered, this little concubine was not of good moral character, and she still followed suit: "Which rule says that if you pick flowers, you can pick bamboo shoots?"

Lotus stared at the emperor with wide apricot eyes, and found that there was no such thing in the palace regulations, and even the rules about whether flowers could be picked were not written, but isn't this a custom?
But if it is not written, it is not written, and it is not impossible that Long Live Lord must be punished...

How to do?Lotus was a little flustered.

Seeing the concubine slumped and unable to refute, the emperor felt a little refreshed.

Don't you like to slap him in the face? I finally caught this little girl and see how he treats her: "Picking without permission is considered stealing. It's a big crime in the palace. You are so bold!"
