After the first assistant's wife is reborn

After Wei Ziqian came to pick up her little maid, she gave some instructions before turning around and walking towards the Political Affairs Pavilion.

Xia Sichan couldn't help but hold her breath, passed through the palace gate, got down at the designated place, and entered on foot.

The corridor was long, and Xia Sichan obediently followed the little palace lady who came to pick her up, from time to time, she looked at the Huangmen palace lady who lowered her head to "stand guard" at intervals, and occasionally met one or two female officials.

In Weiyang Palace, in order to entertain Xia Sichan, Cui Xin specially asked the kitchen to make several kinds of pastries, as well as sweet-scented osmanthus milk and bird's nest with red dates.

In addition, lychees from Lingnan Jinfeng were taken out of the ice cellar to entertain her.

Following the voice of the palace servants, a message came: "Mrs. Baoguo is here!"

Cui Xin didn't hold it up, stood up, walked down in person, and said warmly to Xia Sichan who came in from the outside: "Mrs. Wei, I have seen you."

The empress's voice is not that delicate and soft, but a refreshing and gentle voice that makes people feel comfortable when they hear it.

Tsk, Mrs. Wei in front of her is really as rumored, so beautiful.

When Xia Sichan heard the voice, she didn't dare to look up, and hurriedly said, "My wife has met the empress, and the empress is Jin'an."

Cui Xin sighed: Mrs. Wei's voice is really like her own, very pleasant to hear.

"Madam Wei, there is no need to be polite, get up quickly." Cui Xin took a step forward and helped Xia Sichan up himself.

Immediately ordered: "Look at the tea, make a pot of Mengding stone flowers that have just been tributed this year, and ask Mrs. Wei to taste it."

The buds of this Mengding stone flower are like the tongue of a sparrow, green and tender, with a very elegant taste. It should be brewed in a very rolling mountain spring and stored in a very thin white porcelain cup. The tea has a clear and far-reaching fragrance.

Cui Xin usually doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, but he is quite fond of tea.

It's just that no matter how much she cares about food and clothing, she is the most honorable woman in the Liang Kingdom, she never tires of fine food and delicate food.

Isn't that the top luxury for food and clothing?

The fine lily palace incense is burning in the gilt censer in the palace, which is elegant and refreshing.

Only then did Xia Sichan raise her eyes to look at the beauties in palace costumes in front of her, only to see that the smiling empress in front of her was not the kind of skinny beauties sought after by noble ladies in the capital nowadays, but a healthy and exquisite figure with jade bones. With icy muscles, heroic sword eyebrows, a pair of almond eyes slightly drooping, and a shadow covered by feather eyelashes, his expression is calm.

Cui Xin first looks at people's eyes, and Xia Sichan's eyes are clear and non-calculating, which makes people like her and wants to get along with her.

"Watch the seat."

"Thank you, ma'am." Xia Sichan was a little restrained.

How could Cui Xin fail to see her restraint?Smiling slightly, he said, "Madam, how old is this palace older than you, how about calling you Ah-chan?"

"My wife listens to your mother." Xia Sichan stood up, and said a blessing to her sideways.

She is not hypocritical, saying that you are the queen and you are the biggest, you can call you whatever you want.

The furnishings in Weiyang Palace are still luxurious, but compared to when the Empress was there, they are more low-key and less extravagant.

The little maid brought in the freshly brewed tea, poured only one cup for Xia Sichan, and gently placed it on the golden nanmu coffee table in front of her.

Cui Xin is pregnant and cannot drink tea.

Xia Sichan carefully picked up the bright red glazed teacup with golden cloud and dragon patterns specially used for empresses, took a sip, and suddenly felt the fragrance of the tea slowly permeate from the nose to the throat.

"A-chan thinks this tea tastes right?" Cui Xin asked after taking a sip of milk and putting down the jade cup.

"Not bad, it's delicious. It's clear in the mouth, and the fragrance stays on the teeth and cheeks." Xia Sichan tasted it carefully.

"Really? I thought you couldn't drink this kind of tea, but I didn't expect that Ah Chan is also a master of tea." Cui Xin's eyes lit up, and he praised.

Xia Sichan said humbly: "I don't know how to taste tea, I just followed my father and brother since childhood, and only know superficiality."

So, the two started the topic of "tea" and talked about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Unexpectedly, Cui Xin has a soft spot for painting.

Her paintings are different from Xia Sichan's. At first glance, they look like the wind in Saibei, wild and hot.

At a glance, one would think it was painted by a general who was on the battlefield.

When talking about rouge pollen, Xia Sichan said: "I originally wanted to bring you a few boxes of rouge pollen from the 'Lily' shop that my wife used to use, but I was worried that it would not be suitable for you to use, so I didn't bring it here. .”

Xia Sichan originally planned to bring a few boxes of rouge and mouth cream, but worried that if something happened, wouldn't people think that she was suspected of murdering the queen?

It's better to be honest and go into the palace empty-handed.

"Okay, next time you enter the palace, bring some boxes for Bengong to try. No wonder Bengong thought you didn't wear makeup when you saw your skin is tender and delicate!" Cui Xin didn't know Xia Sichan's concerns. Hearing this, Then he asked her to ask for it.

"Your Majesty, I don't mind, next time the minister's wife comes to the palace, bring some for you to try."

"Okay, that's it. It's just a few months. Next year, you must remember to send some boxes to Ben Gong!"

Only then did Xia Sichan remember that Dusk was pregnant.

Of course, the two chatted about their children again.

The hard work of conceiving a child, the pain of giving birth, the hardship of raising a child, the hard work of raising a child, etc.

The two had a common topic again.

Both felt that the two hit it off.

Cui Xin and Xia Sichan talked and sat down to eat cakes. There were lotus pod cakes, egg yolk cheese cakes, radish cakes and Bazhen cakes on the gold inlaid jade plate.

Xia Sichan didn't expect that the radish cake made in the palace tastes so good, it's really delicious.

Seeing that she likes to eat, Cui Xin said to Chen Ying: "Go to the imperial dining room and tell the chef to make another portion of these pastries and bring them in. Oh, make an extra portion of radish cake."

Chen Yingfu said: "Here, servant girl is going now."

Xia Sichan hurriedly got up and refused: "Your Majesty, don't bother, when my wife wants to eat, she can just ask the kitchen to cook."

Cui Xin smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be polite to me, ordinary chefs can't make this carrot cake."

Carrot cake is not simply filled with shredded radish, but stewed with sea cucumber, ham, old hen and other ingredients to make a thick soup. Squeeze out the juice with gauze for later use. , Pour in the juice and simmer for a while, until the juice is absorbed by the shredded radish and the shredded radish is not rotten.

"My wife, you're welcome, I'm bothering you, ma'am." Xia Sichan said cheerfully.

Cui Xin smiled slightly and said, "Ah-chan doesn't need to be polite to Ben Gong, you and Ben Gong hit it off right away, and you should visit the palace more often in your spare time in the future."

Xia Sichan hurriedly nodded and said: "As long as the empress doesn't mind disturbing the courtier's wife, the courtier's wife will be there at any time."

She knew that the queen's natal family in front of her didn't have many relatives, only her mother and a younger brother.

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Aunt Chen Ying came in and reported back: "Madam, the meal has been arranged, please go to the dining hall with Madam Wei to eat." (End of this chapter)
