Allure of a Country Maiden

Shangguan Wanru returned from Prince Rui's Mansion to Prince An's Mansion, and went to the main courtyard where Princess An was to pay her respects. After watching her return to her courtyard to have dinner, she played a piece of music on the flute for Zhuan'er. It wasn't a good result, but it wasn't intermittent after all. Zhuan'er fell asleep peacefully to the sound of her flute which was relatively smooth.

After Zhuan'er went to bed, Shangguan Wanru, who had been making rice dumplings all day, was very tired. With the maid waiting on her, she went to the bathroom to take a flower bath, and then came out to read a book for a while.

After her hair was dried, she said to the maid waiting beside her: "You all, please step aside, I'm going to bed."

"The princess went to bed so early tonight?"

"Well, I'm a little tired today and want to go to bed early."

After the maid waited for Shangguan Wanru to go to bed, she left a small lamp on and then left.

As soon as Shangguan Wanru lay down on the bed, she heard the sound of a flute.

The sound of the flute! Shangguan Wanru sat up immediately! It finally came. She had waited for so long and never heard the sound of the flute again. If the book hadn't existed, she would have thought she was dreaming that day!

She quickly got out of bed, walked to the desk, prepared paper and pen, and then carefully identified every note in the song.

The melodious tune was played again and again, and then it stopped as the night got darker.

Shangguan Wanru followed the contents of the booklet in her memory, compared them one by one, and translated all the meanings she wanted to express in the song.

Then Shangguan Wanru was shocked!

She thought she had made a mistake in translating it, so she translated it twice again according to the recorded notes before confirming that she had made a mistake.

He needs Xiaoer's blood? With Xiaoer's blood, will he be able to accumulate enough strength to avenge the prince within ten years?

What's the point?

Shangguan Wanru couldn't understand.

She had to ask him why he needed Xiaoer's blood.

So Shangguan Wanru translated what she wanted to ask into musical notes, and then expressed it with music. This was a bit difficult for her, but Shangguan Wanru knew that if she wanted to avenge Gong Zixuan, she would definitely use the flute to convey the message. It was inevitable, so she immersed herself in studying it seriously.

The night gradually deepened, and it wasn't until the rooster's crow sounded that she finished writing a song and expressed what she wanted to express.

Although Shangguan Wanru was anxious to ask why, she also knew that the music she composed would not be pleasant to the ears. She could not play the devilish sound in the middle of the night to scare people, so she could only wait until tomorrow to practice and take the opportunity to play it.

She lay back on the bed. Although she was extremely tired after composing a piece of music, she was not sleepy at all.

I always think about why that person needs Xiaoer's blood? What is the function of Xiaoer's blood? Although the blood required is not much, just a few drops will be enough. This will not have any impact on Xiaoer's life, but

Shangguan Wan subconsciously did not dare to think about it.

The sky gradually became brighter, and she fell asleep in her wild thoughts.

Early the next morning, Xiaoer got up and went to the kitchen to see if the rice dumplings were cooked.

Because the fillings of some rice dumplings are made from legumes such as red beans, mung beans, and peanuts, the rice dumplings must be boiled in water overnight.

After cooking the rice dumplings all night, the beans inside are all soft and glutinous. If there is pork belly in the filling, the fat of the pork belly will have melted. Such rice dumplings are very delicious!

Xiaoer's favorite food is this kind of cooked pork belly, which is not greasy at all.

Yang Liu picked out a red bean, peanut, scallops, bacon rice dumpling for Xiaoer to try.

As soon as the rice dumpling leaves are opened, the white and green rice dumplings are exposed. At the same time, the unique fragrance of bamboo leaves hits the face along with the aroma of the rice dumplings.

"It smells so good!" Xiaoer couldn't help but take a deep breath, then cut the zongzi in the middle with a knife, and took a look at the pork belly inside. The fat on it had melted.

She took another bite of the rice dumplings with her fork and put it in her mouth, saying, "The heat is just right, the taste is just right, it's time to start the pot, and then give two skewers to the princess and the others. Remember to give them the ones they made by themselves." .

Put two more baskets in and I will ask Brother Shangguan to bring them into the palace to pay for the emperor, the queen and the queen mother. I have to give it to my parents, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion..." Xiaoer carefully ordered the person to send it.

"Yes!" Yang Mei carefully wrote down Xiaoer's instructions, and then went to make arrangements.

Xiaoer returned to her room carrying a plate with two rice dumplings.

Other maids followed her carrying other breakfast items.

Shangguan Xuanyi just finished his martial arts practice and washed up.

"Brother Shangguan, the rice dumplings are ready. These are your favorite mung bean, millet, bacon and pork rice dumplings. Come and pay for it!" Xiaoer personally removed the rice dumpling leaves for Shangguan Xuanyi.

Shangguan Xuanyi sat down at the round table, then stretched out his hand to hold Xiaoer and motioned her to sit next to him: "Don't be busy, just let the maid do this."

Xiaoer sat down and took a bite of the rice dumpling to feed him: "Is it delicious?"

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded: "It's delicious!"

He is an extremely picky person about everything, especially food, but he loves to eat all the food made by Xiaoer. Even if he couldn't eat anything before, as long as it is made by Xiaoer, he can eat it.

In front of Xiaoer, he, an extremely picky person, became not picky about anything.

Anyway, Xiaoer thinks he is easy to support.

"When we enter the palace later, you can bring two baskets of rice dumplings to the Queen Mother and her father, the Queen, and her mother to repay them. The rice dumplings are made of glutinous rice. The Queen Mother is old, so remember to remind her not to eat too much at one time, otherwise it will be difficult to overcome her."

Shangguan Xuanyi just nodded after hearing this and said nothing.

The Queen Mother had caught a cold a while ago and had no appetite. Even if Xiaoer gave her rice dumplings, she might not eat them.

But regardless of whether the Queen Mother eats or not, these superficial efforts still need to be done.

After breakfast, Yang Mei brought two food baskets in. Xiaoer took them and opened them and looked at them. She saw some fresh fruits were put inside. She nodded and handed them to Shangguan Xuanyi: "Remember Remind the Queen Mother, Father and Queen, not to eat too many rice dumplings at one time."

"Okay." Shangguan Xuanyi nodded, took the food basket, and then entered the palace.

After Shangguan Xuanyi entered the palace, Xiaoer ordered Yangliu and Yangmei to start making rice dumplings with many maids.

Because there were many servants in Prince Rui's Mansion and Shangguan Xuanyi had many subordinates, Xiaoer wanted to take care of everyone who worked hard for her husband and wife, so during the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to the previous gifts, she also planned to give each person two rice dumplings.

Although there are not many, the rice dumplings are made from ingredients in the space and are absolutely delicious.

These high-quality rice dumplings are not cheap in restaurants. They are out of stock every day, and many people who want to buy them cannot buy them.

So a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiaoer and others made rice dumplings for three days to get enough!

After eating the rice dumplings, the servants and guards all thought: This is the most delicious rice dumpling they have ever eaten, bar none!

Thank you Mei, Fenfang, and lilac for the reward, and thank you book friends who voted~~
