Your majesty, Empress Xianyu doesn't want to leave the cold palace

Chapter 706

Covering his face, he shook his head by the way.

I feel like I can't think anymore, the more I think about it, the hotter my face gets.

After Yu Wenchen sat up straight and helped Qi Ranran by the way, Eunuch Li said,

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent Nanny Sun to deliver something."

whee.

The things that come out of the empress dowager are all good things~
When I looked again, I saw Nanny Sun coming with the palace servants.

The empress dowager sent a pair of crystal gourd jade bottles sent by grandma sun.

Round objects give people a warm and friendly feeling.
Jade is warm and moist, giving people a sense of tranquility.

Moreover, this is warm jade, the tentacles are warm, the luster is oily, and the touch is delicate.

Qi Ranran knows that the reason why gourds are so popular is that they are homophonic for 'Fulu'.
And gourds are accompanied by gods in many myths and legends.
For example, Tieguai Li among the Eight Immortals, Antarctic Fairy Weng, the birthday star,

Either a gourd on the back or a gourd hanging from the waist.

Even the miracle doctors passed down through the ages are mostly accompanied by gourds.

There is also the 卺 used in Heji wine, which is also a gourd.

It is the idea that the souls of husband and wife can fit together after a hundred years.

The most important thing is that the gourd vine has many eldest sons, and it is regarded as a mascot for many sons and grandchildren.
After living in Beiyu for a long time, Qi Ranran knew that there was a saying of "sending melons to ask for a child",
It is believed that giving gourds to couples can make children soon and prosperous.

What the queen mother sent was her heart, and when Qi Ranran saw the smiles on the faces of the people in the room, she knew that she was being urged again.

He gently touched his still flat stomach, and pursed his lips tightly.

Being so expected puts her under pressure~
Yu Wenchen seemed to like the gourd ornament quite a bit, and ordered Caiyue to put it in the palace instead of guarding it in the vault.

Caiyue and Nanny Song looked at each other, knowing each other's thoughts tacitly.

The emperor never asks about small things like decorations,

It seems that the emperor also has thoughts of wanting the little prince.

When Caiyue closed the palace door to prepare for the night vigil, she couldn't help clasping her hands together in front of her body, and bowed earnestly in the direction of the moon.

Pray for my mother,
I pray that the empress will have a cute and healthy little prince as soon as possible.

Qi Ranran, who climbed into bed early after washing indoors, was obviously a little bit more energetic tonight.

When I was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep, I looked up and saw the jade gourd not far away.

The warm light reflects the introverted and quiet beauty of the jade gourd.

An idea popped up in his mind, and his white fingertips hooked his hair once and for all.

The curtain of the bed was lifted, and Yu Wenchen's figure leaned in, seeing the little salted fish with eyes open and fingertips huddling together bit by bit, slightly surprised,

"You haven't slept yet?"

Qi Ranran's eyes shine brightly,

"Wait for you."

Yu Wenchen frowned slightly.

Tonight's little salted fish looks a little enthusiastic.

After Qi Ranran's thoughts popped up in his mind, after careful consideration,
Now that someone came over, he said seriously,
"I thought about it, but I really want a little lion like you."

"Little lion?"

Yu Wenchen faced her direction, propped himself up slightly, the neckline around his neck became loose due to his movements, although he looked in her direction, he obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of "little lion", and continued to ask ,

"Why a little lion?"

"stupid!"

Qi Ranran raised her hand and imitated his usual movements to poke his cheek, the expression on her face was very proud,
"Twelve constellations, you are a Leo~"

Like him, that's not a little lion.

Give birth to a super cute lion cub.

how nice~
Yu Wenchen paused for a moment.

He has never heard of the twelve constellations,
He had only heard of the zodiac.

Among them, there is a lion palace.

Although I didn't quite understand the "Leo" she was talking about, but Yu Wenchen thought that the lion is the king of all beasts, and he was very mighty when he heard it. He felt that she was praising her in disguise, and when he leaned towards her, he kissed her hard on the face ,
"Well, then the little lion, I like it too."

Qi Ranran's eyes widened.

Dare to like to try.

Hammered his head off.

"Since we like it, we want the little lion."

While talking, Qi Ranran tore off the quilt and rushed forward.

In order to prevent her from sliding down, Yu Wenchen had no choice but to hold her waist.

"Ahhhhhhh,"

Qi Ranran bent down and kissed him forcefully on the lips, and touched his waist with his hand,

"Let's have a super cute lion cub."

Yu Wenchen's pupils dilated slightly.

The little salted fish tonight is not only enthusiastic, but also wild.

**
Three days later it will be the Dragon Boat Festival.

Sticky rice wrapped in wild rice leaves is used as horn millet, taking the meaning of yin and yang wrapping, and praising the time.

Corn millet is zongzi, there are horn zongzi, cone zongzi, and tube zongzi. Because of the different customs in different places, the patterns made are also quite different.
In addition to jujube sweet rice dumplings, Beiyu’s additional ingredients in this period already included bean paste, pork, pine nuts, walnuts and the like.

The Dragon Boat Festival not only has zongzi, but the Dragon Boat Festival in Beiyu is more ceremonial.

The folk custom is to hang mugwort leaves on doors and windows to drive away five poisons and prevent mosquitoes.

Wearing a sachet on the body, soaking in water boiled with calamus mugwort leaves can dispel dampness and detoxify.

In the palace, Caiyue ordered people to hang up the hanging screen early on.

What is painted on it is the story of a celestial master holding a sword to bring down the five poisons.

Brown sugar garlic soup is also one of the Dragon Boat Festival diet.

Garlic can detoxify and remove dampness, and cooking with brown sugar can warm the spleen and stomach, nourish qi and activate blood.

The palace also specially made red gauze colored gold boxes for the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the box is a statue of Tianshi Yuhu carved with calamus and Tongcao, surrounded by five-color calamus leaves.

There are snakes, scorpions, lizards, centipedes and other poisonous insects made of pearls and emeralds in the box, and around them are placed water chestnut leaves, sunflowers and durian flowers specially used to subdue them.
It symbolizes the extermination of them.

Around the palace, big gold bottles with sunflowers, pomegranates and gardenias are placed around the pavilion to detoxify.

When the first emperor was around, he would give owl soup on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The so-called owl soup is soup made from owl meat.

Owl, refers to the owl.

The owl is regarded as an unfilial bird. The emperor made owl soup and gave it to his officials to warn them not to be unfaithful and unfilial like an owl.

It contains the intention of eradicating evil, but the means are too cruel,

Since Yu Wenchen ascended the throne, this old system has been reformed. On the Dragon Boat Festival every year, in addition to the prescribed holidays, ministers will be given sutras and lucky bags.
There are all kinds of candies, golden flowers, and clever dumplings inside.
It is intended to eliminate poison and eliminate disasters, and it has the meaning of peace and auspiciousness.

Ministers can be rewarded by the emperor, and the harem is no exception.

In Changle Palace, Qi Ranran arranged the zongzi early.

The Empress Dowager sent it to the palace, as did Xu Meiren and Zheng Cairen.

Qi Ranran prefers to eat sweet rice dumplings, and it happens that Yu Wenchen likes it too, so sweet rice dumplings are mostly prepared in the palace.

After thinking about it, he turned his head and told Caiyue,
"Caiyue, pack some salty rice dumplings in a while and send them to the national teacher."

Caiyue was surprised, "Are we going to send zongzi to the national teacher?"

"Yes, you must eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Caiyue thought about it,
"This Dragon Boat Festival, there will be sacrifices in the palace, and the national teacher will also come to the palace.

When the time comes, the servant will send it over? "
