The next morning, Lin Momo woke up. Xili Palace is far away from here, so she has to hurry up.
"Mother Lin, you are so early today!" Yushuang woke up earlier, and when she saw Mama Lin, she stepped forward to salute.
"Yeah, today the palace assigns a newcomer, and I'm going to bring one back. I'm slow, it's better to go earlier." Lin Ma said, she received such a large sum of money yesterday, if something went wrong, she would not Know how to explain like that.
"Rookie, didn't you say you're not going to recruit people this year?" Yushuang asked.
After thinking about it for a while, Mammy Lin told Yushuang, "You saw it yesterday, Grandpa Yuanfu came to find me. In fact, he asked me to take care of his distant relatives, and wanted people to come to us. Yuanfu is by the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's not easy for me to refuse. It's okay for you to know about it yourself, and don't tell others about it, and you can also take care of it on weekdays."
"Understood, mammy, I won't talk nonsense." Yushuang also knew Mammy Lin's trust in her and replied. "Have you eaten breakfast yet?"
"It's too late, let's talk when I get back. Yushuang, help me tidy up the single room next to my room, and replace the bedding and everything with new ones. This time I'm here as a servant of the Shuang'er Palace, and it's not convenient for me to be with you. Live together." Yushuang, Yutaki and Yuling live in the same room, although there is still a bed, it is obviously not suitable for living together.
"No. Then mammy, hurry up and I'll pack it up."
When Lin Momo arrived at the Xili Palace, it was just past the hour, and she didn't dare to stop along the way.
"Mammy Lin, why are you here?" Mammy Xi stepped forward to support her. She knew Mammy Lin.
"I know that this is the person trained by your Mammy Xi. I'm going to pick someone to go back. I've been a little busy lately. What you've trained must be good." Mammy Lin complimented Mammy Xi. .
"Haha who doesn't know about you, Mammy Lin, you can send someone to tell me. I'll send someone directly there, where do I need you to come and go." Mammy Xi knew that Mammy Lin was in the Queen's Palace. , did not dare to offend, and hurriedly laughed. "I haven't started the assignment yet, Mammy Lin, you can choose first."
"Then why are you embarrassed, haha." Mammy Lin was not polite, and looked at the three-column palace attendant behind Mammy Xi.
Lin Jiabao was small and was in the first row. Those big watery eyes are easy to recognize with a pair of dimples.
Madam Xi looked at Madam Lin and kept looking at the piece of Lin Jiabao. "Mother Lin is a good place to go. It's a blessing to be chosen."
Mammy Lin pointed to Lin Jiabao's row, "How old are you, each of you can say your name."
"Anping starts with you." Mammy Xi said to the first person in line.
Soon it was Lin Jiabao's turn, "Slave Lin Anzhu, 12 years old this year." Lin Jiabao has now been renamed Lin Anzhu, and this group of them are of the Anzi generation.
"It's also Lin, what a coincidence! Can you cook?" asked Mammy Lin.
"Mammy, I will know a little bit." Lin Jiabao replied.
"Haha, then that's it. I won't choose too much. Mammy Xi has delayed you for so long, so you can go ahead and arrange it." Mammy Lin waved to Lin Jiabao.
"It's okay, don't delay, do you want to pick another one?" Madam Xi said kindly.
"No, I still have something to do, so I'll go back now. You're busy, thank you." Mammy Lin waved her hand.
"Then Mama Lin, walk slowly." Mama Xi registered Lin Anzhu's whereabouts and asked him to follow Mama Lin.
The remaining palace attendants watched them leave with envy and jealousy.
After leaving the Xili Palace, Lin Momo carefully looked at Lin Anzhu who was following her, "Anzhu, what is your real name? Where are you from? Where do you live?"
"If you go back to Mommy, the slave's real name is Lin Jiabao, he is from Pei County, and he lives in Linjia Village not far from Pei County." Lin Jiabao is now called Lin Anzhu, but he still likes the name his parents gave him. But Mammy Xi said she called An Zhu elegant and nice.
"Jiabao, it's a good name. However, there are rules in the palace, so I can only be called An Zhu in the future." Lin Momo checked the information and confirmed that there was no wrong person.
"An Zhu understands." An Zhu nodded obediently.
"It's so good! Don't be afraid, we are both surnamed Lin, and we have fate. What we are going to now is the Imperial Dian Room of Yongshou Palace, a place specially made for the Queen's concubine, and there are no things to do every day. Many. There are also three palace maids over there who do things with you and are all very easy to get along with."
"Mommy, I will study hard and work hard." Lin Jiabao said with a small face.
"Well, good boy." Lin Momo patted his head.
After walking down the long palace road, Lin Mama took Lin Jiabao to the kitchen of the Imperial House.
"Mammy Lin, you're back." Yutaki stepped forward and looked at Lin Jiabao behind Mammy.
"Mammy, Mammy, is this a newcomer?" Yu Ling also asked curiously.
"That's right, this is Anzhu, the new palace attendant from our Imperial Palace." Lin Mammy began to introduce to Lin Jiabao, "This is Yushuang, Yulong, and Yuling."
"Sister Yushuang, hello elder sister Yutaki, hello elder sister Yuling." Lin Jiabao greeted them one by one.
"Haha, I'm not the youngest after all. How old are you, Anzhu?" Yuling asked.
"It's 12 years old." Lin Jiabao opened his big eyes and looked at Yuling.
"12 years old, you look so small and cute! Ah, you still have dimples." Yu Ling said and pinched the little face.
"Okay, don't bully the newcomer, let's do things. Yushuang, take An Zhu to his room to put things down and settle down." Lin Ma told Yushuang.
"promise."
Yushuang took Lin Jiabao out of the kitchen and came to the house in the back row. Take him to a single room, "This will be your room from now on. Put things away first, see what else is missing and tell me?"
Lin Jiabao looked at his room, which was not big, but clean. The room has a small bed and a wardrobe. There is a table and a chair by the window. There are beautiful patterns on the furniture, and other things are complete, and the bedding is also new.
Lin Jiabao said happily: "The room is very good, there is no shortage."
"Then put your things away, and I'll show you the environment here." Yushuang said, and liked An Zhu's cuteness.
Familiar with the environment, Lin Jiabao and Lin Mama and the others had lunch together. The lunch here is very rich, one meat and three vegetables, and the taste is also very good.
"We have a kitchen here, and we all go to the big kitchen to get the ingredients and make them. Unlike some palaces, the dishes we bring back are cold." Yuling said proudly.
"Anzhu, eat more." Yushuang said to Anzhu, taking some slices of meat for him.
"Mmmm, thank you, Sister Yushuang." Lin Jiabao's cheeks were stuffed with bulging thanks.
Everyone laughed when they saw how cute he was.
In the afternoon, Lin Jiabao entered the imperial room. After washing her hands, she watched Mammy Lin make snacks.
Mammy Lin let him watch first, but did not let him do it. Talk to him while doing it.
Yutaki pulled Yushuang aside and said, "Look, Anzhu has compared you in just one day."
Yu Taki was very jealous of Yu Shuang being able to make dim sum under the hands-on teaching of Lin Ma, but there was no way, Yu Shuang's talent for making dim sum was better than hers, and she was more convinced.
How come Shuang'er, who came here on the first day, has been liked by everyone, and Lin Mammy also attaches great importance to it, looking at An Zhu's face no matter how dazzling it is.
Yushuang knew Yutaki's competitive temperament, and ignored her provocation. Concentrate on doing your own thing.
Yutaki snorted when she saw Yushuang ignoring her.
Mammy Lin was making milk cakes, while Yuling was making a move. Lin Jiabao also looked at it carefully and carefully wrote down the production steps.
First separate the egg yolks and egg whites, then pour in the sugar and beat until the sugar-free granules are milky yellow. Add the milk to the egg yolk and stir to combine. Add salt to egg white and beat for a while, then add sugar in 2 batches and beat until foamy. Add the egg whites to the egg yolks in 2 batches, and stir quickly without making circles. Brush butter inside the custard petal-shaped model, and then pat a circle of sugar. Pour the egg batter into the model until it is 80% full, stick the egg batter inside the model with your thumb and draw a circle around the edge of the model. Steam in the steamer for a quarter of an hour.
"Do you understand? It's not difficult. Just make it a few more times. This is one of the Empress's favorite desserts, and I often make it." Mammy Lin asked Xiang Anzhu.
"Well, I wrote it down." Lin Jiabao nodded.
The air of the kitchen was filled with the milky aroma of the custard cake, which was steamed in a while.
Yuling took it out and put it on the table to cool, and then carefully unmolded.
"Be careful when demoulding, so that you don't break it. A piece like this one that lacks a petal cannot be brought forward. It must be in a complete and beautiful shape." Yuling gave him the one with a missing petal. Look, "If it doesn't look good like this, we can only eat it by ourselves, haha. We'll be fine here!" He said and stuffed it into An Zhu's mouth.
"Don't listen to Yuling's nonsense, these ingredients are all rationed. If they are too bad, it won't work." Lin Momo corrected with a smile.
"It's so fragrant, so soft, and so delicious." Lin Jiabao fell in love with this rich milk-flavored snack. The eyes became a curved line.
Lin Jiabao thought that after he learned it, he could cook it for his family after leaving the palace, and they would definitely like it.
In this way, Lin Jiabao gradually adapted to the life in the palace. He was very fortunate to be in the Royal Point Room, the mammy treated him very well, and the palace ladies and sisters also took good care of him.
Unconsciously, he has been in the palace for more than half a year, and in this half year, he has learned several kinds of desserts.
Mammy Lin often took him to deliver snacks to the Queen's Empress, and he was rewarded with silver a few times. Sometimes I meet the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. His Royal Highness especially likes to eat snacks, and he is very generous, and he will be rewarded every time. Lin Jiabao would save it all and put it in the purse embroidered by the second sister for him. Now he still has one or two silver coins per month. Lin Jiabao thinks that when he leaves the palace, he will definitely save a lot of money. He can go back. Build a big house for the family, and the whole family lives together. It makes me very happy to think about it.
"An Zhu, are you ready? Let's go." Lin Ma asked.
Mammy Lin was still very satisfied with An Zhu's well-behaved performance in the past six months. After that person's suggestion, now every time she goes to deliver snacks, she will bring An Zhu with her.
"Okay, mammy," Lin Jiabao brought the food box and came over.
"Okay, Yushuang comes with me, Yutaki and Yuling stay."
Mammy Lin explained, and left with Yushuang and An Zhu.
"Mammy is becoming more and more biased now. Every time I take An Zhu to the Empress's place." Yutaki said jealously, I heard that he often encounters His Royal Highness and the Second Prince.
"Anyway, all the rewards are ours!" Yu Ling thought indifferently, although she could show her face when she went to the Empress, but every time she was trembling, it would be fine if she didn't go.
Yu Taki looked at Yu Ling's unpromising appearance, and didn't bother to talk to her.
In the main hall of Yongshou Palace, the queen is talking and chatting with her two sons. The queen looked at her two sons with pride.
The eldest prince, Xuanyuan Han Chenggui, was the crown prince. The second prince, Xuanyuan Hanqi, was brave and resolute, and was deeply loved by the emperor. Because of them, her position in the palace is also very firm and cannot be shaken.
The two brothers are also deeply fraternal, and Xuanyuan Hanqi adores his imperial brother.
"I'm really tired today. I'm starving to death. The dim sum in my mother's harem is really delicious." Xuanyuan Hanqi was straightforward and ate the dim sum.
"Look at you kid, eat slowly. There's still a lot more, I'll ask the imperial room to order more." The queen looked at the second prince lovingly.
"Second Emperor, don't be so reckless next time. General Li is someone who has been on the battlefield, and the gap between the two of you is too big. You should practice the basic skills first, and rashly test what to do if you get hurt."
"Hee hee, I just want to show off with him, he will let me anyway." Xuanyuan Hanqi said indifferently.
"What's the point of releasing water like that? If you really want to be on the battlefield, the enemy will let you make a fool of yourself." The second emperor's younger brother's temper is really, thinking of the previous life...
"I also want to go to the battlefield. Let me go with you this time. I'm 15, and the emperor has been there long ago at my age."
Xuanyuan Han Qi begged.
Xuanyuan Hancheng refused and said, "No! In the future, you will have the opportunity to make achievements. This time, you should stay in the palace and accompany the father and mother. The father said that you will go to court together from next month. You can also learn to help your father a little bit, and it will be easier to open a mansion and get married next year."
According to the report of the spies in the border town, the barbarians are already ready to move, and it is very likely that they will go south. He is also preparing for the expedition recently. He is very sure that he can destroy the barbarians, but this time he will not take his second brother with him. The death of Xuanyuan Hanqi in the previous life had dealt a great blow to him and his father and queen, and this time, there must be no adventure.
"Your royal brother is right, that battlefield is not a good place. You are not too young, so share some for your father." The queen agreed with the prince's words.
"Okay, okay. Do you still have dim sum? It's delicious." Xuanyuan Hanqi had a headache when he thought about it, and quickly changed the subject.
"It's good to wait for the queen mother to make a marriage for the second emperor's younger brother, and you can also accept his heart." Xuanyuan Hancheng said to the queen mother. In the previous life, the second emperor's younger brother died young, leaving no heir. This time, I hope that he can marry a wife and have children sooner, and change the fate of his previous life.
"It's still early, I just met a few families, wait for your father to make a decision." The queen selfishly wanted her second son to marry later. After all, the prince is poisoned now, and it will take some time to recuperate. It would be bad if the second son gave birth to the eldest son first, and she didn't want any estrangement between their brothers.
At this time, Mammy Zhou, who was beside the Queen, led Mammy Lin, Lin Jiabao and Yushuang into the hall with cakes.
After Xuanyuan Hancheng came in from Lin Jiabao, he kept staring at him, his eyes could not wait to stick to him. And Lin Jiabao kept his head down, and didn't notice his gaze.
In order to be afraid of being seen as different, he took a piece of dessert from Lin Jiabao's plate and put it in his mouth, "Mother Lin in the mother's harem is really a treasure. The cakes and snacks are delicious. I will miss it if I don't eat it for a few days. !"
"If you like you, come to the Queen Mother's place often. It's not a big deal, or you can send Yuan Fu to Mother Lin's place." The Queen was also very satisfied with Mother Lin, "Go to Mother Zhou's place to collect the reward later."
"The mother has already rewarded me, so I can't be stingy anymore. Yuan Fu..." Yuan Fu knowingly stepped forward to reward Mama Lin.
Madam Lin brought Lin Jiabao and Yushuang to thank him.
Mammy Lin, Yushuang and Lin Jiabao returned to the Royal Point Room.
"There is another reward today. The Empress and Her Royal Highness both have rewards." Lin Jiabao happily announced the good news.
"Really, I'm so happy! An Zhu, every time you go with Mama Lin, you are rewarded a lot! It's really good luck." Yuling said giggling.
"Haha, what is it? It's all thanks to Lin Mammy. Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is praising Lin Mama." Lin Jiabao was embarrassed by Yu Ling's words.
Madam Lin divided the reward she had received. The Queen's concubine rewarded them with two silver fruits. His Royal Highness rewarded golden melon seeds, and each person could also get one.
The little pumpkin seeds are very delicately made, and the more Lin Jiabao looks at it, the more he likes it. This is the third golden melon seeds he has received, and he thinks that he will ask Sister Yushuang to make a purse tonight. In the past six months, he has harvested a lot, and his small purse can't hold it.
