The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 280
The sweet-scented osmanthus steamed chestnut powder cake in Wanfu Pavilion is different from other places. The petals are carefully picked by the people in Wanfu Pavilion, and the chestnut powder is also made by them.Although the taste is similar, the ones made by Lingxi are much more delicate than the ones on the outside.

In the past, Yingxiu once made pastries for everyone to taste at Dali. Since then, even Yinzhen, who is not greedy for appetite, will taste some of the pastries one by one as long as he hears that they are made by Yingxiu.

Lingxi got the true inheritance of Yingxiu, and the pastries are especially good, so as long as she makes this pastry and sends it to Jinxiuxuan, Yanhua is sure that the Song family will definitely eat it.

Lingxi didn't understand why Yanhua wanted to show affection to Song Shi all of a sudden, she had never been used to Song Shi, so she immediately got angry: "Ge Ge! She hurt Ge Ge again and again, why did Ge Ge still show love to her? Her status is the same as Gege's, and she is not favored by the master, so it's not bad for her to come here to show her favor to Gege! If you want to give her the steamed chestnut powder cake with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, there is no time for servants!"

"Lingxi, why are you still so irritable?" Yanhua gave her a helpless look, and explained Lingxi who got up and was about to leave, "You, make another dose of nourishing soup and mix it with chestnut flour cake Inside... I want to see if she can restrain herself a little bit, it would be good to wake her up."

When Lingxi heard this, she beamed with joy and said: "Gege should have been like this a long time ago, she is the kind of person who just needs to be cleaned up! Hmph!"

Yanhua pursed her lips and smiled, when Lingxi turned to make chestnut flour cake, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes.She doesn't want to change, she also wants to be as naive as before, but the reality doesn't allow her to continue being stupid.

She thought she would be able to conceive a child in the next few days, but early the next morning, she felt a little sore in her back.In fact, her lower back has been a little sore these past few days, but it's more obvious today.

She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that once Kuishui came, then she wouldn't have to go on absurdly with Yinzhen, and wouldn't be forced by him to answer such an inexplicable question.But after thinking about it, she was a little discouraged. The past few days have been so absurd, but she has not been able to conceive a child, which really makes her a little frustrated.

When I went to the Hall of Harmony to pay my respects the next day, Mrs. Song was not there, saying that she was unwell.Presumably Fujin has long been used to Song's reasoning, so he didn't pursue it.

Yanhua asked Lingxi to distribute the steamed chestnut powder cake with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar to everyone on the spot. Before, they would happily take it, but this time, they all hesitated to take it.

Su Yue took a look at Chou Fujin, and saw that Cian Fujin nodded slightly, so she stretched out her hand to pick it up.

"Why are you being so polite? You share cakes with everyone every now and then. Those who don't know think we all need Wanfu Pavilion to help us." Cian Fujin glanced at the food box that Shuyue took over, and then cast a glance at Yanhua, Talking is still impolite.

Lingxi pursed his lips, and glared at Fujin angrily.

Yanhua smiled aggrievedly: "The words of Ce Fujin really offend this servant. I don't have any good things in the house to honor Fang Fujin, so I can only show my heart with these pastries. It’s more sincere than the ones bought from outside, how dare you have that kind of thought. The slaves always keep their own identities in mind and dare not presume.”

When the corner of her eye caught sight of Zi Yan, Yan Huafu cast her gaze there again.Ziyan didn't pick up the food box for a long time, so Shaoyao stood there awkwardly in the posture of delivering it.Yanhua looked at Mrs. Wu with a smile, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with Ziyan? Don't Sister Wu like these cakes very much?"

Mrs. Wu showed a look of disgust, and did not hide it at all: "I appreciate my sister's kindness, but I should take this thing back. In case I eat the chestnut flour cake sent by my sister and something happens, Isn't there no place to avenge?"

It was only then that Yanhua remembered that during the days when she was recuperating in the Old Summer Palace, Wu had accused her of secretly drugging people in various courtyards, making them unable to conceive children.Wu's accusations came and went, but she didn't see Fujin and Yinzhen disposing of Yanhua, so she felt suffocated.

Yan Hua saw the posture in front of her clearly, and knew that Wu Shi had doubted her, and probably made up her mind that she would never eat the food from Wanfu Pavilion again.Gunn next to her reached out and patted her hand to comfort her.

Yanhua was not angry either, she smiled lightly at Geng Shi, and then looked at Wu Shi again: "Since my sister doesn't like to eat, then I won't force it. It's just that you can't eat anything casually, and don't talk nonsense. My sister is so good, why do you want to accuse me of such a big crime?"

As she spoke, she showed an aggrieved expression, and her innocent eyes glanced at Fujin.

Only then did Fujin clear his throat, and glared at Wu with displeasure: "You recite scriptures every day, why are you still so impetuous?"

After reprimanding Mrs. Wu, she looked at Yan Hua again, and said in a slow tone: "She has always spoken so recklessly, she may not be malicious, and you don't have to worry about it."

Yan Hua narrowed her innocent and wronged eyes, bent her mouth and nodded: "Fu Jin is right, my sister is really temperamental, she is a petty servant."

Although she was talking about her petty temper, her face was open and generous. Compared with the gnashing of teeth on Wu's face, people would think that Wu Shi was the one who made her petty tempered.

Zan Fujin's eyes squinted at the two of them, and after glancing at the bright sunshine outside, he raised his hand and stroked the piled robes on his legs: "The weather is really nice, my sister will take us with you whenever you are free. Let's go to the Old Summer Palace. Hongshi heard that there is a beautiful garden, but he has been clamoring to play in it."

Fujin glanced at her, and quickly looked away: "I have a terrible headache recently, if Qin Yu wants to take the child for a walk, just tell the master and go there. There is no need for a group of people to go there in a big way , Lord has always disliked us being so ostentatious, so you should keep a low profile. Huang Ama is coming back soon, you should supervise Hong Yun's homework, and Hongshi's etiquette should be taught well. He took it."

Side Fujin stared at Fujin with a smile that was not a smile, and hummed in a strange way: "Yun'er and Shi'er have always been well-behaved and sensible, and their etiquette is even more thoughtful, sister don't have to worry about it."

Fujin glanced at her indifferently, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Mu Jin took a look at Cian Fujin, and said softly, "Fu Jin can rest assured that Cian Fujin can make such a guarantee." Before Li Qinyu could look over at him coldly, Mu Jin lowered her head again and asked softly, "Fu Jin wants to go back and sleep for a while? The slave has already been burned with soothing incense."

Fujin nodded, and when he passed by Yanhua, he saw that Shaoyao was still holding a food box of steamed chestnut powder cake with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar in his hand, so he said to Yanhua: "Since Xianer doesn't like it, I gave Mujin a taste." Well, Mu Jin always likes to eat the cakes made by you Wanfu Pavilion."

Shao Yao smiled happily, and hurriedly handed the food box to Mu Jin.

Mu Jin smiled, nodded to Shao Yao, and thanked Yan Hua again.

As soon as Fujin left, Fujin took Su Yue away in a dispirited manner.

Geng Shi got up to leave, seeing Yan Hua sitting there motionless, he called out suspiciously: "Sister? Won't you go back together?"

Yanhua shook her head, pointed to another food box in Lingxi's hand and said, "No, I'm going to see Sister Song, and I happen to be on the way with her."

Geng Shi was stunned for a moment, and cast a questioning look in the past.Yanhua blinked, but didn't say much.

Seeing this, Geng didn't ask any more questions, and left with Xianyun.

Hearing that Yanhua said that she was going to Wanfu Pavilion, Mrs. Wu snorted coldly: "Who is on the way with you!" Then he raised his feet and walked out, deliberately speeding up his pace to prevent Yanhua from catching up. Zhu Zhu muttered, "What are you pretending to be a good person!"

"What are you doing running so fast, you must be guilty of guilt, hum!" Lingxi followed behind Yanhua, and muttered dissatisfiedly twice when he saw Wu Shi walking so fast in front of him.

Yanhua shook her head helplessly, and sneered: "I still want to talk to her, but she runs so fast, I can't even see her."

After walking for a while and turning a corner, Yanhua's master and servant saw Ziyan walking slowly in front with Mrs. Wu.When she got closer, she realized that Mrs. Wu seemed to have sprained his ankle, and was angry at Zi Yan with grinning teeth.

"Your sister is in a hurry, right?" Yanhua asked with concern, and turned her head to signal Lingxi to step forward to help.

Lingxi didn't want to open her eyes, so Yanhua had no choice but to signal Shaoyao to help.

Seeing Shaoyao coming up to help, Ziyue nodded gratefully at her, then quickly turned her head to look at Yanhua: "Maybe Gege Chan can help someone pass Dr. Liu into the mansion? It will be fine if the servant helps Gege by herself."

"That's fine, Shaoyao, you can pass the message and bring Dr. Liu over." Yanhua nodded.

Lingxi was unwilling to go forward, so Yanhua kindly went up to help her, Wu Shi wanted to brush her hand away, but changed his mind when he rolled his eyes.

She let Yanhua hold her other arm, and then deliberately shifted her weight to Yanhua's side.

After Yanhua noticed her actions, she didn't tell the truth, she just patiently continued to help her: "Your sister seems to have misunderstood me?"

Wu Shi gave her a blank look, snorted lightly, and didn't answer.

Yan Hua was not annoyed, and continued to say to herself: "I know you misunderstood me very much, no matter how I explain you, you are not willing to listen. But I still want to remind my sister, don't let people sow discord. I won't say much about anything else, just one thing, my sister, go back and find out the brocade material that Sister Song gave you, and smell it. If you smell a strange smell, my sister should quickly burn the material and throw it away. Don't wear it again in the future. If you don't smell it, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Wu Shi felt a "thump" in his heart, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.She turned her head to look at Yanhua suspiciously, her brows were tightly frowned: "What's wrong with that material? Why should I burn it and throw it away?"
