Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 7 The Canglan Courtyard of Lotus
Lianhua fell to her knees in fear, and stammered: "Yes...Yes, lord, this servant knows it's wrong, it's just, it's just..."

Xiaoqing hid behind the lotus flower and knelt down, shivering.

As soon as this little girl entered the palace, she followed the lotus flower. She had never seen anything in the world, but she scared her to death. Long live Lord is so scary, so she picked some bamboo shoots and said that if she wants to be punished, she must be punished.

Compared with Xiaoqing, Lianhua is much better. Although she is afraid, she is not as scared as Xiaoqing.

The emperor's eyes kept falling on Lotus. Seeing that she knew she was afraid, she felt relieved and nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that she still wanted to defend herself, worried that she would say something wrong, she interrupted her and said: "Wrong is wrong, there is no just, don't do it with small evil, as my concubine, you should set an example."

Lianhua and Xiaoqing, even claimed to be.

The emperor took two steps forward, clenched his fists under his chin, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then said, "I just heard that you are going to make bamboo shoots into vegetables, so I will give you a person who will atone for your sins. If you have a chance, I will go to your place for dinner, and if it is not delicious, I will cure your sins."

To be honest, the weather was very hot these few days, which caused the emperor to have no appetite. After hearing what this little concubine said about how to eat fried bamboo shoots, cold bamboo shoots and fragrant rice porridge, the emperor swallowed.

The big fish and big meat that the imperial kitchen cooks every day has long been tired of eating, especially in summer.

Lianhua was a little stunned, and she was going to go to her place to eat, but it was a good thing not to be punished.

Zhang Qing looked at the lotus meaningfully and reminded: "I don't want to thank the grace of Long Live Lord yet."

When he came back to his senses, Lianhua took Xiaoqing Xie Wansui Ye for the time being not to kill, no, the grace of not punishing, and brought people back to Canglan Courtyard.

Entering the Canglan Courtyard, the emperor felt a little novel. Other people's courtyards were filled with rare and exotic plants. This little concubine's courtyard was dominated by melons and fruits, with only scattered flowers and plants.

The emperor waved his hand and asked them to prepare dinner, and started to visit on their own.

How dare Lianhua not work hard, and now she is still a culprit. In order to get rid of her sins, Xiaoqing is usually in charge. She points the country next to her. Today, she will be in charge and entertain the emperor and ancestors in person.

Speaking of which, only the palaces of high-ranking concubines can be equipped with small kitchens, while Canglan Courtyard was specially equipped with a small kitchen for this favorite concubine because it was the residence of a favorite concubine during the period of the late emperor.

Afterwards, for some unknown reason, the Canglan Courtyard fell into disrepair and was abandoned for many years without anyone under its jurisdiction.

Lotus was pleasantly surprised when she found it. After cleaning, she bought some items and put it into use immediately. She replaced the daily regular meals provided by the imperial kitchen with rice, noodles, grain and oil, and cooked and ate it herself. the days of pig food.

At this time, it was the end of Shen Shi, the sun was gradually sloping west, the lotus and Xiaoqing were busy in the kitchen, and the emperor visited the courtyard.

Small peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, and some vegetables that the emperor could not recognize were grown in the yard.

In order to encourage farming, the emperor would personally go down to the fields every year during the farming season, and that's all, he knew the staple foods related to people's livelihood, and it was a bit demanding for the emperor to recognize most of the vegetables.

The emperor had some admiration for this little concubine. Most of the concubines in the deep palace were indiscriminate, not to mention planting vegetables, they would find it vulgar just to say the word farming.

He didn't expect this little concubine to grow vegetables, and he secretly thought that although the moral character was not very good, it was not useless.

After visiting the courtyard, the emperor walked into the lotus's bedroom, which was very warmly furnished. Walking into the door, you could see a small hall, and when you looked at the head, there was a round table and two round stools.

There was a round-mouthed vase about the size of two fists on the round table. It was small and compact with a bunch of gardenias on it. It looked very fresh. Next to it was an ordinary small teapot and two teacups.

On the right side of the hall is a bathroom separated by a screen, and you can vaguely see a wooden bucket, a shelf with a washbasin, and some women's toilet items.

On the left is a small wooden door carved with moon flowers. Linen acts as a curtain and hangs on both sides to separate it from the inner room.

The innermost is the bed, with a light green tulle tent hanging on the bed, and a thin-necked porcelain vase next to it, with a half-open lotus flower inserted.

Walking into the inner room, the dressing table is placed under the window, and there is a bead curtain hanging down on both sides. The most peculiar thing is that the beads of this bead curtain are colorful and different in shape.

The emperor approached to take a look, touched the beads, it turned out to be a curtain made of small gravel, and it was not known what color was used on it.

There are six tumblers made of clay on the windowsill below, each with a different expression, happy or unhappy or angry, each expression is very interesting, making people feel the meaning of the expression, but it is cute and tight.

Sitting on the dressing stool, the emperor rummaged here and there, and it could be seen that this little concubine had no precious ornaments and jewelry, but everything revealed novelty and was very interesting.

"Long live, the meal is ready." Lotus called softly.

Watching Long Live Lord rummaging here and there, and staying in front of the Bogu Shelf for a long time, Lianhua was a little frightened, afraid that he would take something away from him. The house was full of her favorite things. I have saved it myself for many years, and it hurts to lack any one.

The emperor was surprised, it was done so quickly?I watched it for a long time.

Walking out of the inner room, no dinner was placed on the round table, and the emperor looked at the lotus.

　I hate being a straight dog emperor, tired and cowardly little lotus, there will be a good show in the next two chapters
