After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Chapter 19 Rewards
In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Ning sent Zhe Liu to the imperial dining room, wanting to ask for some hawthorn and sugar to make some candied haws.

This is a little habit that Jiang Ning developed when he was still outside the palace.

Every time she encounters a large reward from a guest, she regards it as her lucky fortune.

Therefore, whenever she does this, she will celebrate this sudden luck.

If she was outside the palace, she would go to the most famous restaurant on North Street to order her favorite three meats and one vegetable, and finish the meal slowly.

Enjoy this rare, exclusive time for your own meal.

But now, she is in the palace, so there is no shortage of good food and drink.

So, she could only take the opportunity to realize one of her wishes.

So she decided to make a bunch of candied haws for herself.

Jiang Ning sat at the table and wrote down the formula she had obtained before on the paper from memory.

The morning dew floated into the house with a little earthy fragrance, and the sound of hoes plowing the land was heard not far away.

Jiang Ning finished writing the last word, got up and walked aside, took out a wooden box from the drawer of the cabinet, held it in his hand, and walked out of the palace door.

Jiang Ning stood still under the eaves.

Not far away, Lu Feng was plowing the land.

He had to take advantage of the free time in the morning to finish the farm work, and he was also responsible for the commander of the Imperial Guard.

He was hunched over, wearing simple cloth clothes, holding a hoe in both hands, and the sleeves were rolled up to the elbow position.

As the hoe was continuously raised and lowered, the veins on his bare arms throbbed, and the sweat dripped from his forehead to the tip of his nose, and dripped silently to the ground.

Jiang Ning quietly leaned against the door frame, and slightly tightened the hand holding the wooden box.

At this time, it was the beginning of spring, the official planting season, Lu Feng ran around twice a day, after finishing the work of the Imperial Guards, he came back to plant the fields again, without any complaints.

Jiang Ning couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

The last hoe fell, and the whole field had been loosened.

Lu Feng casually wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, straightened his waist, and looked in the direction of the main hall.

However, he didn't wait until Zhe Liu came to bring him a cup of tea.

Jiang Ning smiled helplessly, waved her hand towards Lu Feng, and said in a loud voice: "Miss Zheliu has gone to help me with some errands, you should take a rest, I have something to do with you."

"Yes." Lu Feng replied, and then took the hoe and walked to the place where the agricultural tools were displayed, put the hoe in his hand away, and came to Jiang Ning.

"Ma'am, what do you want from me?"

Jiang Ning smiled, not in a hurry, but led Lu Feng into the house and sat down at the table.

"I looked at it, it's still early, drink a cup of tea and rest, don't worry."

Lu Feng nodded when he heard the words, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it with his head down. While drinking the tea, he accidentally saw the recipe of candied haws written by Jiang Ning on the table.

"Your Majesty, are you making dessert?"

"Yes." Jiang Ning replied softly, "This is a very common sweet among the people."

Lu Feng drank a cup of tea, and filled another cup for himself. Looking at the formula on the table, he suddenly smiled.

"Why such a smile?" Jiang Ning was a little puzzled.

"The minister is envious of the relationship between the empress and the emperor, and sighs that the empress is a dignified prime minister's daughter, but she can also make sweets to please the emperor."

Jiang Ning couldn't help rolling his eyes.

She really doesn't understand the logic of the people in the harem, as if every move revolves around the dog emperor's likes and dislikes.

"I don't mean that." Lu Feng put down the teacup in embarrassment, and stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, "I just saw this and thought that the emperor loves sweets, so I said that."

"The emperor loves sweets." Jiang Ning muttered in a low voice.

She was a little surprised that someone as indifferent and heartless as Mu Jingzhao would have such preferences.

"Yes." Lu Feng smiled slightly, "I also heard what Commander Lin said. Commander Lin and the emperor grew up together and have a very good relationship. I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Jiang Ning didn't want to continue talking along the topic, so she pushed the wooden box in front of Lu Feng.

"Open it and have a look, this is what I promised you."

Lu Feng opened the wooden box in front of him suspiciously. Inside the wooden box lay a peacock feather hairpin wrapped in a soft cloth.

He glanced at Jiang Ning with some disbelief, and his eyes gradually changed from confusion to enlightenment.

"So, Ma'am, you asked me to bid at the auction in order to let the minister express his feelings for Zheliu?"

Jiang Ning finally nodded in satisfaction. It is really not easy to enlighten someone like Lu Feng.

"For things like mind, the focus is on expressing, not how much money must be spent on it."

She raised her chin and pointed to the wooden box in Lu Feng's hand, "Take it, girl Zheliu will be back later."

Lu Feng tightly held the wooden box in his hand, his fingertips turned slightly white, and after a long time, he fell to his knees in front of Jiang Ning with a plop.

"The empress is so kind and virtuous, Lu Feng will never forget it."

When Lu Feng knelt down like this, Jiang Ning was a little at a loss. She got up quickly and bent down to try to help Lu Feng up.

"Get up quickly! You also helped me earn 1 taels of silver, 1 taels!"

However, Lu Feng insisted on kneeling down on the ground, "Your Majesty, as the sweet girl of heaven, treats her subjects with equality and thinks of her subjects in every way. If your Majesty didn't come up with a way to make money by storytelling, I really don't know how to get rid of the broken willow. Dilemma."

Lu Feng's words made Jiang Ning unreasonably recall the difficult time when she and Zhe Liu lived together in the cold palace when they first entered the palace.

For no reason, she had a sore nose.

"What do you mean you don't want to be a servant?" She pulled Lu Feng up from the ground with her hands, "We are all one family."

Seeing that Lu Feng was going to continue to be sensational again, Jiang Ning stopped him in time.

"Okay, girl Zheliu is coming back soon, if she comes to see such a scene, it's hard for you to explain."

Jiang Ning and Lu Feng really knew Zhe Liu's temper very well. If she came back and saw such a scene, she would definitely feel that she was played by Jiang Ning and Lu Feng together and lost her temper.

The words that Lu Feng had just reached his lips were blocked back. After hesitating for a moment, he finally put away the wooden box and said softly, "Thank you, Ma'am."

As soon as Lu Feng got up, Zhe Liu went into the cold palace with the hawthorn and sugar he was asking for, humming a song.

"Niang Niang, I'll find everything you want." From a distance, she waved at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning bumped Lu Feng with his elbow, and then walked towards Zhe Liu with a smile.

"Look, how about it?" Jiang Ning heard the reputation and saw many fresh and plump candied haws lying in the bamboo basket, which looked very attractive.

"The people in the dining room, when we heard that the people in the palace wanted it, we must choose it first. How about my choice?"

With a casual finger, she placed Zhe Liu on the table beside her, and then bumped into Lu Feng, pushing him towards Zhe Liu.
