The military general was not only loyal to Chen Tiantian, but also raised her son for her without complaint or regret, almost every detail.

In that case, people who didn't know about it thought that the son was born to the general.

Maybe it was really his own. After all, Dai Wang has always been weak and has never lived past the age of 26.

Poor Dai Wang, the tortoise and green hat man, didn't even know he was green until he died.

Ying Bao was thinking secretly, seeing that Xiao Mo didn't answer, she asked, "Officer Xiao, when can you let me go home?"

Xiao Mo smiled: "Well, we have to recover after the king's recovery."

Ying Bao didn't bother to talk to him anymore, turned around and left the hall.

It was very hot outside the hall, the sun was shining directly, like a stove.

But occasionally there is a cool wind blowing, it is the cool air from the lake in the distance, and it is very comfortable to blow on the body.

Yingbao thought for a while, asked Chang Xiu to put it back in the medicine box, and led herself to the fruit forest by the lake.

So Chang Xiu held up an umbrella for the young man, and the two walked towards the fruit forest.

The fruit forest in the East Palace is very large, and there are many kinds of fruit trees. Yingbao saw the lychee trees that were only seen in the painting at first sight. There are more than a dozen trees, and the branches are covered with purple-red lychee fruits.

"Lychee!" Yingbao rushed over, grabbed a branch on tiptoe, and was about to pick the fruit.

So many lychees!They are all fresh lychees growing on the trees!It was also the first time she saw it.

Chang Xiu hurriedly came over to stop him: "Young doctor, this fruit cannot be picked."

"Why?" Ying Bao asked, tearing off two litchis, sniffing them, and stuffing one litchi into her mouth.

so sweet!Delicious!

Seeing that the little baby not only picked it, but also ate it on the spot, Chang Xiu panicked and said: "This fruit is for the imperial use, we can't eat it, quickly give the peel to the slave, and the slave will hide it."

Yingbao gave her the peel, ate the lychees with puffy cheeks, and said vaguely: "Don't be afraid, the empress has allowed me to eat the fruits here."

But Chang Xiu was still afraid, picked up a branch and squatted on the ground to dig a hole, and buried the lychee skin in it.

Seeing that she was proficient in her movements, Yingbao had reason to suspect that she often did this.

While Chang Xiu was digging a hole, he picked some lychees and put them in the cave.

Hey, there will be another lychee tree in her house in the future.

Afterwards, Yingbao picked and ate at the front, and would stuff some for Chang Xiu from time to time.

Chang Xiu didn't dare to take it at first, but seeing no one around, she ate it boldly, and then quietly wiped out the criminal evidence.

After eating lychees, Yingbao saw several loquat trees, which were also covered with yellow loquats, many of which began to shrink and shrivel up, and many were pecked by birds.

But the loquat fruit here is only the size of a bird's egg, not as good as her family's, so Yingbao is too lazy to pick it.

The two walked and came to a pear garden again.

There is a pavilion in the middle of the pear garden, and two eunuchs are sitting in the pavilion eating pears.

Seeing that it was a palace lady leading a little doll, she didn't care, she finished eating a pear and asked, "Who's little doll dares to intrude?"

Chang Xiu hurriedly saluted and said, "Senior, this is the young doctor who replaced Wang."

The senior executives heard that Xiao's family sent a baby of a few years old, who was better than the old guys in the Imperial Hospital. It was incredible to make Dai Wang's condition better by himself.

So he quickly stood up, cupped his hands at Yingbao and said with a smile: "So it's the young doctor, I'm sorry."

Yingbao also replied: "Don't dare, I'm sorry to bother you."

It seems that this is the steward in charge of managing the orchard.

The senior officer was very happy, and immediately asked the little eunuch beside him to pick fruit for Yingbao to eat.

The little eunuch agreed, and rushed to pick two pears and a big bag of lychees.

Ying Bao was also polite, and asked Chang Xiu to hold the lychees and pears, and went to the orchard with the senior executive, listening to him introduce the names of various fruit trees.

The orchard in the East Palace is really huge, and there are many varieties, including grapes, apricots, peaches, pears, citrus, persimmons, loquats, plantains, bayberry, papaya, etc. The cherry treasures are salivating.

It's a pity that many fruits are immature and cannot be tasted now.

Walking around the orchard, seeing that it was late, Ying Bao followed Chang Xiu back to the main hall.

At this time, the eunuch had already delivered lunch, which was placed on the table in the compartment where she lived.

A small bucket of white rice, a plate of pepper fish, a plate of boiled broad beans, and a plate of cold spinach, much richer than the day before.

After Chang Xiu packed a bowl of white rice for Ying Bao, she stepped aside.

Ying Bao said: "You sit down and eat together."

Chang Xiu shook his head again and again: "Slave, slave, wait for the young man to use up."

Seeing that she was restrained, Yingbao stopped forcing her and ate with pepper fish and boiled broad beans with cold spinach.

After finishing the meal, I saw Chang Xiu put the rest of the meal back into the food box and carried it to the maid's room.

Chang Xiu still lived with the handymen. When she brought out the food in the food box, several handymen were amazed.

For a whole pepper fish, Xiao Langzhong only ate a little, and more than half of it was left. Adding the remaining spinach with egg skin in cold sauce, it was enough for four little maids to eat.

"Wow! Chang Xiu, you are so lucky to be able to serve the young doctor." A palace maid said with a smile: "I saw you and that young doctor went to the orchard. How about it, did you bring some back?"

Chang Xiu smiled shyly, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, opened the handkerchief, and there were a dozen or so lychees wrapped in it, "This is given by the young doctor, you should try it too."

Several maids cheered, and each of them grabbed one and began to peel it.

One of the maids gave it a cold look and didn't take it, "You couldn't have stolen these, right? If the steward knows, don't trouble us."

Several court ladies were taken aback, and all looked at Chang Xiu.

Chang Xiu hurriedly defended: "This is really a gift from the senior management. The young doctor said he couldn't finish it, so he gave me some, Zhang Yu'e, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Yu'e sneered, turned around and sat by the bed.

The other three looked at each other and carefully put the litchi back on the table.

One said: "Let's eat first." He took out his bowl and chopsticks to serve the meal.

The rest of the people also took out their own bowls for food.

Usually, they can't eat pepper fish, and unlike those maids in the front hall, they can often get rewards from their masters.

A few people were eating, when they suddenly saw someone poking their head into the doorway, a ten-year-old girl timidly asked, "Excuse me, is Sister Chang there?"

Chang Xiu quickly stood up: "It's Sister Chen, come in quickly."

Only then did Chen Tiantian walk in, holding a bag of things in her hand.

"I got a plate of lychee pancakes today, and I want to give them to sister Chang and all the sisters to try."

As she spoke, Chen Tiantian put the oil-paper bag in her hand on the table and opened it, revealing six or seven round flower cakes.

Several court ladies were astonished.

Now is the time when the lychees are ripe. From time to time, the imperial dining room will make some lychee cakes or boil a pot of lychees in syrup and lychee paste.

It is said that it was dedicated to the acting king, but in fact most of it went into the stomachs of the chief eunuchs and palace officials.

Occasionally, a little reward can be given, but it is not the turn of these humble handymen like them.

Zhang Yu'e, who was sitting next to her, came over, picked up a lychee cake and said with a smile, "Thank you sister Chen for thinking of us."

Chen Tiantian smiled slightly: "Where, this is a gift from the young man of the Xiao family. I couldn't finish it all by myself, so I brought it to my sisters to taste."
