After time travel, the princess became his favorite

Chapter 28 Wealth outside the palace

Li Fengyi was drinking tea with several concubines. She lowered her eyes and saw that the dried fruit on the plate was almost bottomed out. She said, "Sisters, please eat sparingly. Concubine Chu gave me so much."

One of the concubines licked her lips and held half a dried pineapple in her hand, "Isn't Sister Li having a good relationship with the concubine and worrying about not being able to eat it later?"

Li Fengyi smiled dryly, "But Concubine Chu made it herself. How could I have the guts to let Concubine Chu cook for me?"

The concubine's hand shook, and the dried pineapple fell from her hand and fell on the table. She lowered her head and saw that it had fallen on the table.

"Then you really need to save some food."

She picked up the dried pineapple and took a smaller bite.

She thought it was something fresh brought by Chu Lingyao from Xiliang, but who knew she made it herself!

I said I was eating sparingly, but the preserved fruit was still unavoidable.

The concubine secretly left a few pieces. Although she was on good terms with Li Fengyi, she did not break up with Sun Liangren. Sun Liangren had become quite close to Shen Jingli recently.

If this preserved fruit is appreciated by the Crown Princess, are you still worried that you won't be able to eat it?
Sun Liang, like the other concubines, tried to eat it fresh, and it was unforgettable after just one bite.

But when he heard that Chu Lingyao did it, his face darkened and he wanted to let the concubine take it back.

But after thinking about it carefully, she stayed again and went to Qingyaxuan with three or four pieces of preserved fruit.

Sun Liangren asked Shen Jingli's personal maid to hand it to Shen Jingli. The amount was only a few pieces, and she was a little embarrassed.

Sun Liangren said: "Princess, try this snack, called preserved fruit."

Shen Jingli frowned and tried not to brush Sun Liangren's face. He picked up a dried apple with disgust and took a small bite.

The sweetness spreads along the tip of the tongue and throughout the mouth, and the aroma of apple slowly comes.

Shen Jingli took another bite, his eyebrows slightly raised and his lips raised.

"Sister Sun, this snack is quite fresh. Where did you get it?"

Sun Liangren came to deliver it in person, thinking that this thing was not owned by Dianshan Bureau.

Sun Liangren told the truth, "This is what Concubine Chu did."

Shen Jingli was stunned. Sun Liangren didn't know that Shen Jingli had instigated her and Chu Lingyao before, otherwise how could they have gotten closer to him in recent times.

But Sun Liangren wouldn’t accept Chu Lingyao’s things?

Shen Jingli asked tentatively: "It seems that Sister Sun and Sister Chu have a very good relationship, and she actually gave her food made by herself."

Sun Liangren's expression did not change, but his voice became much weaker: "No, it was given to Li Fengyi by Concubine Chu, and I accidentally got a few pieces."

Shen Jingli felt relieved.

Sun Liangren continued: "Sisters in the East Palace all like this preserved fruit. It is very palatable. I think the Empress will also like it."

Shen Jingli's heart was relieved again because he wanted her to dedicate it to the queen.

Mr. Sun Liang has such good intentions?He has a magnanimous look, but his mind is smaller than a nail hole.

The two seem to be on good terms on the surface, but there is a high wall in their hearts, and no one can see through the other's face.

Shen Jingli didn't know Sun Liangren's true intention, so he said quietly: "The queen has been worried recently, and she is afraid that she doesn't have time to see me. Let's talk about this later."

Sun Liangren didn't mention it anymore, just chatted for a few words and left as usual.

Shen Jingli later sent a palace maid to investigate the matter.

Later, I learned that the quantity of these preserved fruits was small, and the Dianshan Bureau could not produce the flavor. No one except her, Gao Chu Lingyao, wanted to use her hand to let Chu Lingyao make preserved fruits again.

It seems that Sun Liangren is also one of them.

This preserved fruit is indeed a new thing, and it would be great if it can catch the Queen's eye.

The prince had no intention of worrying about the East Palace, and Shen Jingli could only cling to the queen.

It doesn't matter that only Chu Lingyao can make this preserved fruit. She is still the princess, and Chu Lingyao looks like a cook when she goes to the Dianshan Bureau to make food.

Shen Jingli felt happy thinking about it and asked the palace maid to pack the preserved fruits and make some embellishments to send them to the queen.

Chu Lingyao sat in front of the writing desk, holding a brush in her hand.Rouxi was grinding it for her.

Chu Lingyao dipped the tip of her pen in ink, and a drop of ink fell on the rice paper like a flower blooming. She was stunned for a long time and still couldn't write.

Because she can't use a brush!

Not to mention that the original owner could write, he had never even seen a writing brush.

Chu Lingyao is literate and can write, but she uses a signature pen. This soft brush has no focusing point, and when she exerts force, it becomes a piece of ink.

This was one of the reasons why I gave "Female Virtues" to Qiu Shuang before.

The princess of Xiliang has never learned calligraphy and has no good-looking calligraphy skills. It would be strange not to be put to trial.

Chu Lingyao put down the brush and put it on the brush mountain, put her hand on her forehead and said, "Rou Xi, go and call Qiu Shuang in."

Rouxi's expression condensed, she said yes and went to call Qiu Shuang.

Qiu Shuang has left the cleaning of the pig shed to other palace maids in the past few days, enjoying her leisure time.

While standing in front of the pig shed to supervise the people, she heard Rou Xi calling her to see Chu Lingyao.

After she passed by, she said to Rouxi: "Go and watch them, don't let them be lazy."

How could a third person hear her conversation with Chu Lingyao?

Rouxi pursed her lips and agreed.

Qiu Shuang lifted the curtain and walked to Chu Lingyao. When she saw the rice paper in front of the desk, her eyebrows skipped a beat, "What did you do again? You were fined for copying again?"

Chu Lingyao shook her head, "No, just think of me, okay?"

Qiu Shuang flat-mouthed, there would be no good things to do with her.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Chu Lingyao said: "Help me write, and I will read your writing."

Qiu Shuang was about to say, "You can't write?" '

But the words reached her throat and she swallowed them back. Chu Lingyao grew up in the countryside. There were very few people who were literate, let alone someone to teach her.

No wonder I asked her to help me copy "Female Virtues", so I just said no, and I was still trying to save face.

Qiu Shuang responded, changed places with Chu Lingyao, and sat in front of the desk.

She wrote and said, "Are you looking at the pictures in the storybook? Why don't you let me read it to you? Tell me, do you want to write on it?"

Chu Lingyao was speechless for a moment, but she was too lazy to argue, so she opened her mouth and asked Qiu Shuang to write.

Qiu Shuang didn't pay attention to the content at first and just wrote. After writing it, she read it in series and became confused.

She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Lingyao, "You? You?"

Chu Lingyuan tilted her head, "What about me? Just finish it in one sentence."

Qiu Shuang put down the pen and put it on the pen mountain, fearing that a drop of ink would ruin a word.

She said in shock: "You can't understand the words in the script, even if I ask you to write it out, you won't be able to understand it."

Chu Lingyao found a way to make money in the palace, but she had to make money outside the palace. She couldn't get out, so she naturally had to find a way to make money in the palace.

She read the storybook and found that the author only had a pen name but no origin, which was very consistent with her current status.

The most indispensable thing in her mind is stories. Using modern thinking to conceive stories is definitely more interesting than ancient times.

Just like preserved fruit, it can be seen everywhere in modern times and can be made in your own oven and air fryer, but it was unheard of in ancient times, causing fluctuations that were spread one by one.

Once the storybook spreads among the people, it will definitely be a big fortune.
