Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Early in the morning, several girls dressed up from top to bottom and came to see Mrs. Xue.

Mrs. Xue saw three girls standing in front of her like three flowers, making the lights in the room brighter, and smiling so much that the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes deepened, so she hurriedly ordered the morning food to be brought up.

He also warned, "Just eat some snacks in the morning to fill your stomach. Don't eat too much, let alone eat some soup and water."

While watching several girls eating, she babbled on things to pay attention to.

Xue Baobao silently gestured "eighteen" to Lin Daiyu. This was the 18th time Mrs. Xue had told them not to do this or that.

Lin Daiyu frowned and silently mouthed to her, "Bold"!
Mrs. Xue didn't see the dispute between Xue Baobao and Xue Baobao. She watched them eat, rinse their mouths, and put on makeup, and then watched helplessly as Yu Xin led a few people out.

It was just daybreak when they went out, and when they arrived outside Cining Palace, the sun had already risen in the sky.

Yu Xin had been stopped a long time ago. A young eunuch led them here, and the nun who came to deliver the pair of cards that day came to greet them.

The little eunuch stepped back, and the nanny led them further inside.

When they entered the palace for the first time, a palace maid dressed in green came forward to salute and said with a smile, "My maid, Bizhu, please follow me, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother is waiting for you."

Finally someone spoke up!
Xue Baobao breathed a sigh of relief silently. Not to mention making a lot of noise along the way, there was not even a big gasp for air. The royal family also raised its majesty in this silence!
Bizhu was obviously very popular in front of the Queen Mother. She introduced them to the scenery and buildings along the road, and added, "The Queen Mother has a gentle temper, so the girls don't need to be restrained. She prefers lively girls." .

Cining Palace is very big, but with Bizhu laughing and chatting with her, it doesn't feel like the long journey just now.

Soon, Bizhu led them into the main hall, and soon someone from the palace shouted loudly that the Queen Mother had arrived.

Several girls hurriedly knelt down.

"Hurry up and help me sit down."

Queen Mother Sheep's voice is very gentle, at least from the sound of it, Bi Zhu's statement that she has a gentle temper is probably not a lie.

"Which one is the daughter of Master Lin's family?"

Lin Daiyu, who had just sat down, quickly stood up and saluted. Queen Mother Yang said with a smile, "Come to me and let me see what the daughter of the Lin family, who is so praised by the emperor, looks like."

Lin Daiyu was blessed and stepped forward slowly. The Queen Mother Yang looked up and down for a long time, then a satisfied smile appeared on her face and she stretched out her hand, "Good boy, come here."

Lin Daiyu had no choice but to take a few steps forward and put her hand into the outstretched hand of Queen Mother Yang.

Queen Mother Sheep touched it and said with a smile, "It's the hand of a scholar. Miss Lin really has a good family background and is worthy of being the daughter of Shaofu Lin."

He also asked Lin Daiyu what books she read and what she did for fun.

Lin Daiyu replied cautiously, "I only read some "Women's Rules" and "Women's Precepts". On weekdays, when I have nothing to do, I will do needlework with my sisters at home to pass the time."

Queen Mother Yang probably knew that she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she didn't stare and asked. She took off the phoenix bracelet from her wrist and put it on Lin Daiyu herself, and then asked, "Those two girls are your two sworn sisters. You are a good boy, come to introduce me to me."

Xue Baobao and Zhen Yinglian came forward to see the gifts. Queen Mother Yang also praised them a few times and ordered Bizhu to give them gifts, but each of them also had a gold bracelet.

Regardless of the issue of value, it naturally has a different meaning from the bracelet that the Queen Mother Sheep personally pulled off her wrist.

Xue Baobao's heart skipped a beat, so Queen Mother Yang came to Baozhuangxiang to see Sister Lin today?Still very satisfied?
If Sister Lin really marries Baodang, they will be a perfect match, but it will be difficult for her to see them again in the future.

Xue Baobao was thinking miscellaneously when he heard Bizhu report, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Xiande has been summoned and is waiting outside the palace gate."

"Come in, please."

Queen Mother Yang had not yet let go of Lin Daiyu's hand, and said with a smile, "It's your first time entering the palace, so I'm afraid you might feel a little constrained.

Concubine Xiande is your cousin, so I invited her here, and it just so happened that you sisters also chatted."

Xue Baobao was refreshed. How could Jia Yuanchun, who was in the early spring of the third spring, get the best of him?
look forward to!
About ten minutes later, a beauty in palace attire came slowly with the support of a palace servant.

Xue Baobao took a sneak peek at her while she was bowing to the Queen Mother. She was indeed very beautiful.

Although she is already middle-aged, her appearance definitely crushes the younger Miharu sisters.

Then he took the opportunity to look up at Queen Mother Sheep. He was stunned when he saw that someone could really be so beautiful even in old age!

Queen Mother Sheep is nearly sixty years old, and the traces of time are left on the corners of her lips and around her eyes.

Only time has clearly favored this beauty. These traces not only did not make her beauty fade, but made her beauty more elegant and calm after all the things in the world, making her amiable, respectable and admirable at first sight.

Baozhuang's facial features are very similar to those of the Sheep Queen Mother, but her face is slightly more square, so she looks elegant and dignified.

The Queen Mother Sheep has an authentic beauty with an oval face, so she looks even more beautiful and elegant.

No wonder Baozhuang looks so good. It turns out he inherited his mother’s perfect genes!

Jia Yuanchun was obviously very happy to see them. After each gave them a greeting gift, he looked at Queen Mother Yang with a smile and said, "Last time I went home to visit my relatives, I actually met Sister Lin.

Cousin Xue happened to be ill, and sister Zhen didn't go either, so she didn't see her. Fortunately, the Queen Mother was kind, otherwise our sisters would never see her again."

Queen Mother Sheep nodded, "I think so too, but I just want to take this opportunity to ask you sisters to meet each other."

Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but get up to thank me again, and said with a smile, "I'm not bragging, these sisters are all like flowers, making people happy at the sight of them.

Sister Lin is also very good at poetry and calligraphy, and I think Sister Xue and Sister Zhen will be equally good."

Queen Mother Sheep was very surprised, "Can Miss Lin actually write poetry?"

Lin Daiyu said hurriedly, "I just talk nonsense in my spare time, but I can't be regarded as being able to write poetry."

Queen Mother Sheep smiled and patted her hand, "Modility is a virtue, but you little people don't have to be too modest.

In this way, just to make me happy, each of you sisters will write a poem, and the title will be this string of Buddhist beads in my hand."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Help!

Even if she wanted to plagiarize ancient poems, she couldn't remember any poems related to Buddhist beads!

Xue Baobao was helpless and stood up and saluted, "My Queen Mother, please forgive me, but it is true that civilian girls cannot write poetry."

She can only cook!
Empress Dowager Yang glanced at her and without forcing herself, ordered the palace servants to prepare pen and ink for Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian.

Jia Yuanchun smiled and waved, "Sister Xue, come and sit here with me, just in time to chat with me."

Xue Baobao obediently walked to Jia Yuanchun and sat down. Jia Yuanchun asked Mrs. Xue how she was doing and asked Xue Pan and Yu Xin if they had any difficulties with their errands.

Xue Baobao answered in a decent manner. Jia Yuanchun thought that Xue Baobao did not dare to tell the truth to her here, so he asked Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu again.

Xue Baobao avoided the important matter and said lightly, "Some time ago, the old lady felt sick and felt a little uncomfortable. Sister Lin went to take care of her in person. Now she is fine.

As for Baoyu's cousin, civilian girls don't often go to Rongguo Mansion, and they are different in gender from Baoyu's cousin, so I don't know what he is like." Jia Yuanchun was very anxious and asked repeatedly, but Xue Baobao only said that he didn't know the specific situation. Besides, Jia Mu is already well, please don’t worry about this.

While the two were talking, the praises of the palace people outside sounded, "The Queen has arrived——"

So there was another fuss about saluting.

The Yang family is a famous descendant of this dynasty, and is also famous for producing numerous beauties, such as the Sheep Queen, and Baozhuan who has the genes of the Yang family.

This Queen Sheep was originally the niece of the Queen Mother Sheep, but her appearance was strangely average, but her skin was white, her temperament was dignified, and she looked like a queen with a maternal ethos.

After the greetings, Queen Sheep also appreciated the greeting gifts one by one. At this time, the poems written by Lin Daiyu and Zhen Yinglian were also finished. Queen Mother Sheep praised them repeatedly after reading them, and ordered them to be passed to Jia Yuanchun and Xue Baobao to read.

Xue Baobao couldn't see the good or bad at all, and just praised the good ones.

The Queen Mother Sheep ordered another reward, and Queen Sheep and Jia Yuanchun also received gifts.

The Sheep Queen smiled and said, "It's rare that my mother is happy today and the weather is nice. Why don't I go to the imperial garden with my mother and wait."

The Queen Mother Sheep nodded, and the Queen Mother Sheep wanted to step forward to help her. The Queen Mother Sheep waved her hand and said with a smile, "You all relax today and let Miss Lin help me. It just so happens that I am also talking to Miss Lin."

The sunshine in early winter is very warm, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are blooming beautifully in the imperial garden. Compared with the bare Forbidden City in the winter of later generations, it shows the grandeur of the royal family and the distinct weight of history.

Of course, the more important thing is that Xue Baobao can finally "appreciate the scenery" openly without being scolded as "petty" or "immodest".

Suddenly, a sea of ​​purple-red flowers burst into view. The nine-petal flowers are as big as the mouth of a bowl, exuding a rich fragrance, rich and beautiful.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Isn't this the kind of plant that Baozhuan introduced to her that would attract large pythons?

Even if the royal family is not afraid, why do they plant such things in large areas just to look good?
Or is it that the royal family likes to eat snake meat just like Nanxing?
"This acacia flower was just introduced to the palace this year. Because of its bright colors and beautiful flowers, the sisters like it very much. What? Is it inappropriate?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

Maybe her expression management is negative infinity in front of these people in the palace.

"I don't know. The girl looked at this flower and it looked like a fruit she had seen in books that could treat wounds, but it would attract snakes, especially giant pythons, to fight for the plant, but she was not sure."

Acacia?

Think about it!

Snakes - giant pythons -

As soon as Xue Baobao finished speaking, all the women, big and small, from the Queen Mother of Sheep to the serving maids, all retreated!

The Sheep Queen who asked the question could not help but look frightened, "Miss Xue did you admit your mistake?"

Xue Baobao shook his head, "I read that book many years ago, but I can't remember it clearly. I can't even remember the title."

The Queen Mother Sheep said displeasedly, "Whether it's true or not, it's all pulled out. There are so many beautiful flowers and grasses, but only this one can be planted? Who is the steward in charge of purchasing? He waived his responsibility and sent it to the Department of Miscellaneous Affairs."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Help!

Is she ruining someone's job?

Will she be hated by others?
I heard that the people in the palace should not be easily offended even by cats and dogs. Several young eunuchs dared to go to Rongguo Mansion to fight against the autumn wind. So what should she do now?
The breeze blows, and the huge flowers of acacia sway like waves in a sea of ​​flowers.

The young man in green slowly straightened his body following the waves. His graceful figure and elegant face made people almost suspect that he was a flower fairy descending into the world.

The young man walked towards everyone step by step against the waves of the sea of ​​flowers. Xue Baobao suddenly had the illusion that he was walking towards his heart step by step.

"Queen mother, emperor's sister-in-law".

The young man's gentle and clear voice was like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, ringing heavily in Xue Baobao's little heart that was softened by the boy step after step. Xue Baobao suddenly woke up. The magic caused by the extreme appearance disappeared, and she subconsciously took half a step back.

Queen mother, emperor’s sister-in-law——

Royal people!

Although Xue Baobao has always known that Baozhuan is a member of the royal family, the youngest son of the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother Sheep, and the younger brother of the current emperor, in the isolated Meishou Villa, Baozhuan may drive west at any time. She subconsciously ignored his noble status.

For the first time, she faced the bleak fact: Baozhuang was not only her patient, but also a powerful pharmacology researcher with unlimited potential. He was also the current seventh prince. In terms of status, she could not help but look up. The person you see.

The taste is very frightening.

So, Xue Baobao quietly took half a step back, trying to let the aura of the Queen Mother Sheep and the Queen Sheep cover her as a nobody.

Baozhuang looked at the Queen Mother Sheep, but he had actually been paying attention to Xue Baobao's movements. He was startled when he saw her running away from him like a tiger.

They had agreed to pretend that they didn't know each other, but there was no need to do that, right?
Baozhuan's expression was slightly condensed, and he bent down and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, this donor can even recognize snake mint, he is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable."

As soon as the words "snake mint" came out, the women all took another half step back, with goosebumps all over their bodies.

They have never heard of snakenip, but they have heard of catnip!

"I think the donor must also be a lover of magical flowers and exotic herbs, so I gave this Yi Chi Tian to the donor. The fragrant beads made from its leaf juice can ward off all kinds of snakes in the world."

Baozhuan said as he moved the flower pot he was holding in his left hand forward. The plants in the flower pot did not have bright and huge flowers like snake mint. Instead, they had thick leaves that were almost as good as aloe vera. They grew up with snake mint. One foot of heaven can restrain most snake venom in the world.

Only this foot of snake mint must have patches of snake mint and certain weather conditions to grow, which is very rare.

Baozhuang was hiding in the snake mint just now, probably looking for a foot of sky. Then he dug up the soil and transplanted it into a flower pot. The soil on his hands had not yet been washed away.

Xue Baobao, "..."

Although I really want Yi Chi Tian, ​​I don't know why, but I want to beat you up even more.

Xue Baobao's face turned dull, and he lowered his head and saluted, "Nobles love you so much, but ordinary women dare not accept it."

Baozhuang was not annoyed at all, and put his hands together with a smile, "The girl must be of high status, and she must be out of reach of insects. But it can be worn in summer. It is also a great benefit to avoid mosquito bites."

Xue Baobao was completely numb, and he repeated mechanically, "People's women dare not bear it."

The girl just wants to beat you!

Baozhuang looked at Queen Mother Yang at a loss. Queen Mother Yang coughed and said, "Miss Xue, since Xiaoqi has rewarded you, you can continue, don't be afraid."

Xue Baobao, "..."

No, I'm scared.
