How could Chu Lingyao miss this publicity opportunity? He immediately asked Rouxi to bring a drawer to put the preserved fruits on for Li Fengyi to take back.

Li Fengyi was ashamed, but still accepted it with a smile on his face.

After Li Fengyi returned, he said in confusion: "The food in Xiliang is really strange. If you don't eat fresh fruits, you have to eat shriveled ones."

The palace maid asked: "What should I do with these gifts from the concubine on my side?"

Li Fengyi waved his hand and said, "Take it and throw it away."

The palace maid was shocked. After all, this was given by the concubine. If it were revealed that Li Fengyi threw away the food sent by Chu Lingyao, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble?

She didn't dare to say anything, so she just said: "Yes."

The palace maid carried the drawer and walked out. After taking a few steps, Li Fengyi's mind also turned around. She held her forehead and said, "Forget it, don't throw it away."

The maid came back again.

He couldn't throw it away and he couldn't put it away. Li Fengyi frowned. At least it was given by Chu Lingyao.

Li Fengyi opened the drawer and took out a piece of dried apple to eat. He took a bite and chewed it, and his brows widened.

The apple itself is crisp and has a moderate sweetness and sourness, but this apple is dry and soft, and with the addition of a layer of honey, the sourness is weakened and the sweetness is even stronger, giving it a unique flavor.

Li Fengyi changed his face and smiled, "There is no bad reason for what Concubine Chu gave me."

Li Fengyi did not enjoy this delicious food and show off to herself. She invited her concubines who were friends with her to eat preserved fruits, drink tea and chat together. By the way, she told her that Chu Lingyao gave it to her.

The concubines' taste buds were also aroused by this novelty, and they ate it without touching their hands or making their mouths numb.

Usually when I eat a mango, I accidentally get it on my mouth. Pineapple is delicious, but after eating a few pieces, my mouth feels like being pricked with needles.

This preserved fruit not only retains the original taste of the fruit, but also has a soft and waxy texture.

Although Chu Lingyao gave him a lot of preserved fruits, he couldn't bear to eat them.

After the preserved fruit that went with tea was gone, Li Fengyi lost interest in the pastries she had eaten every day. She was too embarrassed to ask Chu Lingyao for it. Chu Lingyao said that day that she made it herself, so how could she dare to let Chu Lingyao do it? Haruka started to do it for her.

Like Li Fengyi, there were several other concubines she had made friends with.

Although the concubines didn't seem to care, they made some remarks overtly or covertly.

It’s not like they didn’t ask their people to ask for preserved fruits from the Food and Beverage Bureau, but the problem was that there weren’t any!

Li Fengyi thought that Chu Lingyao made it at the Dianshan Bureau, so she asked the people at the Dianshan Bureau if they could reproduce it.

There was a nanny in the dining bureau who saw what Chu Lingyao did throughout the whole process.

She stood aside and talked to the chef, who did what she said.

Wash, slice, plate and put in the oven.

Such a simple step can lead to a puff of black smoke coming out after taking it out of the oven.

Grandma was coughing from the smoke, and fanned with her hands, "The heat is getting louder!"

After that, less firewood was added, but the taste was not as soft and glutinous.

Either it's too watery, it's too dry, or it's not sweet enough.

The steps look very simple, but the actual operation is very difficult. Mastering the heat is the most important.

Li Fengyi stayed at the Dianshan Bureau for half a day and finally left with a heavy face.

None of them are the same as those given by Chu Lingyao!
She went back to the hospital, and soon she had diarrhea. It seemed that eating unfinished preserved fruits would ruin her stomach.

Li Fengyi had no choice but to come to Chu Lingyao.

As soon as she entered Wanyan Pavilion, she saluted Chu Lingyao, but her eyes were attracted by the preserved fruits on the table.

Chu Lingyao knew she would come, so she welcomed her very much and asked Rouxi to pour her tea. "Does the preserved fruit I gave to my sister a few days ago suit her taste?"

I wanted to get into the topic in a roundabout way, but Chu Lingyao brought it up first.

Li Fengyi first smiled gently: "It went well together. I even gave some to the sisters. They all liked it. I am really envious of the concubine's craftsmanship."

She lowered her eyebrows again and said in embarrassment: "The preserved fruits are not as fast as the sisters drinking tea. They are still clamoring for me to bring out more. I didn't say it was given by the concubine, for fear that they would disturb you. .”

Li Fengyi was a powerful person. How could she not show off when she climbed up to Chu Lingyao? But she was sure that other concubines would never come to Chu Lingyao.

Chu Lingyao had previously refused to visit his concubines. Li Fengyi was rejected by anyone who dared to come to see her. If Chu Lingyao hadn't come to see her, she would not have come.

Furthermore, Chu Lingyao did this herself. Who dares to trouble her hands, unless it is the Crown Princess or the Queen.
Chu Lingyao wisely asked Rouxi to bring some preserved fruits to Li Fengyi.

Li Fengyi understood the purpose of his trip, chatted for a few words and left.

When she walked into the courtyard, she suddenly heard a strange noise. She turned around and looked at the wooden house in front of her to see where it was coming from.

As expected, the last time Chu Lingyao came to see her was to raise a pet.

Both of them benefited, and it wasn't considered taking advantage or anything.

But what exactly is this messy scream raising?
Li Fengyi curiously took a few steps towards the wooden house and happened to meet Qiu Shuang coming out of it.

Qiu Shuang's hair was messy, and she was holding a wooden basin in her hand, with a circle of yellow liquid hanging on the inner wall of the basin.

Li Fengyi had never seen chaff and didn't know what it was, but she knew for sure that it was used to feed the animals inside.

She paused in her steps, and a smell suddenly came from her nose that stopped her from moving forward, interrupting her curiosity.

Li Fengyi ran away before Qiu Shuang could salute her.

It wasn't until he returned to his own courtyard that he exhaled loudly, "What did Concubine Chu raise?"

Qiu Shuang saw Li Fengyi running away in a flash. The wind blew up the hair on her forehead, and she stayed where she was.

Chu Lingyao put Rouxi next to her and asked her and other palace maids to take turns cleaning the pig shed, feeding the animals and removing their feces.

In just a few days, she could hardly tell whether this was the East Palace or the countryside.

Qiu Shuang took a bath, and a layer of skin almost fell off her body.

In the evening, while Rouxi was away, she went to find Chu Lingyao and asked her angrily, "Why doesn't Rouxi clean the pig shed?"

Chu Lingyao was lying on the rocking chair, holding a folk tale book in her hand. She was reading it attentively. When she heard Qiu Shuang coming, she put the folk tale book on her lap.

"Because she is my personal maid."

Qiu Shuang was so angry that blood welled up in her throat. Was this because her identity had been revealed inexplicably?
"So you just let me clean it with those eyeliners placed next to you?"

She is also teasing Rouxi. Rouxi is not a good person either. She is with them!
Doesn't putting Rouxi next to you open the door for people to see the inner room?
Chu Lingyao picked up the notebook again and read it, and said, "I trust you. Isn't it convenient for you to spy on those palace ladies?"

Qiu Shuang blinked, was this a task assigned to her?

She shook her head, "What about Rouxi?"

Chu Lingyao said: "I'm keeping an eye on you. We can't stay together all the time. Our four eyes are used in the same place. Separation is the best way to maximize our benefits."

Qiu Shuang hesitated to speak, what she said seemed to make sense.

The fire in her heart seemed to be calmed down, she turned around and lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Rouxi will be back later."
