The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 381 Are people still the same as in previous years?

Chu Lingyun looked thoughtful, "Can you find out about others?"

Li Ma said: "My servant also inquired that this third lady is not simple. Xu Shi, the mistress of the prime minister's mansion, is now confined in Youlan Garden. Because the old lady listened to the third lady's suggestion."

"By the way, the relationship between the third miss and the fourth miss and others in the house is not good. The fourth miss has repeatedly troubled her, but the old lady loves the third miss and punishes the fourth miss a lot. Miss Fourth's biological mother, Third Aunt, has been removed from the power to act as the temporary head of the household."

Chu Lingyun was pensive, and said in a low voice: "From this point of view, this third lady is really extraordinary..."

Li Ma said again: "Although this is the case, it seems that the third lady has a bad fate. It is rumored in the capital that her fate is evil. Earlier, the old lady wanted to tell her about her marriage, but she said it twice, but it was invalidated. Few people dare to come to her door to say kiss to her."

Having said that, Chu Lingyun couldn't help frowning slightly.

It stands to reason that such a woman is a concubine, and she will definitely not be loved by others, so why is this third young lady still so favored by the old lady?
After thinking about it, Chu Lingyun said: "It will take a few more days, after all, we have come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so we should also meet the ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Yes, ma'am."

……

willow garden.

Lin Qingqian was distracted in the room, when suddenly, Chun Xia walked in, with her hands behind her back, and shouted, "Miss..."

Lin Qing replied sleepily: "Huh? What's the matter?"

Chun Xia took out several plum blossoms from behind, and said with a smile, "Miss, look."

Looking at the plum blossoms in full bloom in front of her, Lin Qingqian was startled, and said, "Is this the plum blossom in Liyuan?"

"No, this is today when people from the mansion went out to purchase. They saw a plum blossom blooming outside, so they folded some back. The servants saw it. Miss Lai always liked plum blossoms. She was not very happy these days, so she begged for it. Here are a few, I want to make the young lady happy."

Lin Qingqian's expression changed slightly, as she stroked the pale pink plum blossoms with her fair fingers, she said in a low voice, "Winter started early this year, I never thought that the plum blossoms would bloom earlier than usual..."

"Yes, the plum blossom in Liyuan is about to bloom. I went to see it when I passed by yesterday. The tree is full of buds. When the plum blossoms bloom, it will be very beautiful. Can I fold it for the young lady?"

Lin Qingqian pursed her lips, feeling mixed feelings in her heart.

This year's plum blossoms are still as delicate and beautiful as usual, but what about people?Is it still the same as in previous years?

Chun Xia didn't understand why Lin Qingqian frowned suddenly, she rolled her eyes, and said, "Miss, don't you like plum blossom cakes? The maid picked the plum blossoms and made plum blossom cakes for you, okay?"

Lin Qingqian regained consciousness from her thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Forget it, I'll do it. Tell Qiu Dong to prepare some flour in the small kitchen, and I'll be there later."

"Okay, servant girl, let sister Qiudong prepare."

……

An hour later.

Little kitchen in Willow Garden.

Lin Qingqian made the plum blossom cake. Seeing that Chun Xia was greedy, she picked up a piece and fed it to her first. Chun Xia chewed it a few times, swallowed it, her eyes were bright, and she smiled and said: "The plum blossom cake made by Miss is really delicious. Well, it's as delicious as ever."

Lin Qingqian smiled, divided the plum cake into three portions, and said, "Leave this one in Liuyuan and we will eat it ourselves, you will send this one to Jinglanyuan to grandma later, this one..."

Chun Xia blurted out: "Is this miss going to Mr. Gu?"

Lin Qingqian was startled, she didn't think of sending it to Gu Changgeng before doing it, but subconsciously divided it into three parts.

Seeing that Lin Qingqian didn't speak, Chunxia said nervously, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Did the servant say something wrong?"

Lin Qingqian shook her head: "...No, well, you can send Jinglanyuan to grandma quickly, and let Hanyue come over when you go out."

"Yes, the servant knows."

After Chun Xia retreated for a while, Han Yue came to the small kitchen and said, "Miss, you asked me to come over, but what do you want?"

Lin Qingqian put the plum blossom cake into a food box, handed it to Hanyue, and said, "Go to the palace for me, and bring this plum blossom cake to Brother Chang Geng."

"Miss, why don't you..." Han Yue's words came to an abrupt end, remembering that last time Gu Changgeng refused to see Lin Qingqian in the general's residence, even though he knew his difficulties, it was hard to guarantee that Lin Qingqian would go this time, Gu Changgeng still refused I don't see you.

Thinking of this, Hanyue took the food box and said: "Yes, miss, I will send the plum cake to the young pavilion master."

Lin Qingqian nodded, "Well, let's go."

Seeing Hanyue's figure leave the willow garden, Lin Qingqian's heavy heart did not change much.

……

Jinglan Court.

"Lingyun, are you used to living in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Chu Lingyun blessed his body, lowered his eyebrows, and said: "Thank you for your care, the old lady. The prime minister's residence is very good, and the servants are also very kind to Lingyun. Lingyun is not at all unaccustomed to it."

"Really? That's good... If there is something wrong, don't be cautious, just tell me."

"Yes, Lingyun knows."

The two were talking, and Zhang Momo came in, holding a food box in her hand, and said: "Old Madam, this is the plum blossom cake made by the third lady herself. I just ordered the maid to bring it over. Do you want to try it?"

The old lady blamed her but she felt distressed, and said: "Isn't this girl unwell? Why did she cook for herself, and she also thought about sending it to Jinglanyuan? If you have a heart...then open it for me to taste, it will take a long time." I have never tasted this girl's craft."

Nanny Zhang replied: "Yes, old lady."

The old lady picked up a piece, took a sip, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Chu Lingyun: "Lingyun, you should try it too."

Chu Lingyun smiled lightly, "Okay."

Chu Lingyun tasted a piece and said, "Madam, do you like plum cakes?"

The old lady said: "Well, this girl is very good at cooking. The plum blossom cake she makes is sweet but not greasy, and tastes very good. Every time she makes it and sends it over, I can't help but eat a few pieces."

"Oh I got it."

Chu Lingyun secretly made a note in her heart that the old lady likes plum cakes, and she will make some and send them over when she finds a chance, which will definitely please the old lady.

……

in the palace.

Gu Changgeng wrote the letter, dried the ink on the paper, put it in the letter, and said in a deep voice, "Han Ye, come in."

"Yes, Young Pavilion Master."

Han Ye pushed the door open and entered, "Young Pavilion Master, what are your orders?"

"Send this letter to Xingyue Bank, and they will send it to the frontier..." Gu Changgeng paused as his eyes touched the food box in Han Ye's hand.

He naturally recognized this food box, Lin Qingqian had sent it to Liuyuan and the palace countless times.

Han Ye was waiting for Gu Changgeng's next words, and he didn't see Gu Changgeng continuing for a long time. He looked up suspiciously, and then followed Gu Changgeng's gaze to look down. When it fell on the food box in his hand, he suddenly realized.

Han Ye said: "By the way, Young Pavilion Master, this is the plum cake made by Miss San. Han Yue just delivered it, and my subordinates are about to bring it in for you."
