Nan Xuanjin's words made Ji Yueqin unable to refuse, so Ji Yueqin had to answer Nan Xuanjin's words.

Nan Xuanjin seemed satisfied, so he said to Nan Xuanyu, "What are you doing, brother prince?"

Nan Xuanyu was very dissatisfied with Nan Xuanjin who had intervened in trouble, and said in a displeased voice, "Are you questioning me?"

Seeing that Nan Xuanyu seemed a little angry, Nan Xuanjin chuckled and said, "Oh, how dare I question our beloved Prince! I'm caring about my brother Prince, is it that Brother Prince just wants to take Sister Yue with him? I don't want to take Xuan Jin with me to play."

There was a hint of pity in Nan Xuanjin's tone, and there seemed to be water vapor in those peach blossom eyes, as if Nan Xuanyu would cry if he refused him.

Nan Xuanyu couldn't do anything about him, so he could only say to him sullenly, "My grandmother asked me to take Sister Yue around the palace."

After Nan Xuanyu finished talking about Nan Xuanjin, he was even more curious about Ji Yueqin's identity, "Oh? I don't know which family Miss Yue is, and can I still be accompanied by the prince's brother?"

Ji Yueqin didn't know how to answer, Nan Xuanyu saw Ji Yueqin's embarrassed look and said to Nan Xuanjin, "You ask what kind of habit your sister Yue is like. Sister Yue now lives in the west hall of Qianxi Palace."

Nan Xuanyu explained Ji Yueqin's extraordinary status in one sentence. Indeed, an ordinary prince and nobleman may not necessarily be able to live in the Qianxi Palace.

Seeing this, Nan Xuanjin wanted to ask more questions, but was stopped by Nan Xuanyu's eyes, but the curiosity in his heart was a little heavier.

Seeing this, Ji Yueqin pointed to a garden in the distance, "Let's go there and have a look."

Nan Xuanyu and Nan Xuanjin also knew that Ji Yueqin was helping them, so they didn't mention Ji Yueqin's identity anymore, so they walked into the garden together.

Before they got close, they could smell the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the garden.

The closer you get, the more intense the aroma is, and the wonderful sweet smell envelopes the entire garden, making passersby smell it and feel refreshed.

When I got closer, I saw a plaque on the garden with three gilt characters written on it. Ji Yueqin understood it clearly, no wonder there was a strong fragrance of flowers, and the three of them stepped into the Hundred Gardens.

As soon as I stepped into the garden gate, I saw two neat rows of osmanthus trees standing upright on both sides of the road, with staggered golden flowers hanging in large clusters on the left and right, which made people feel really cute.

Ji Yueqin couldn't help thinking of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that her mother made for her, but unfortunately her mother was gone, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

But Ji Yueqin wanted to eat sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Xu Shi missed her mother and asked Nan Xuanyu, "Brother Yu, can I take some sweet-scented sweet-scented flowers?"

Nan Xuanyu was a little puzzled but agreed, thinking that maybe it was for making sachets. So Nan Xuanyu called two little eunuchs to pick a basket of sweet-scented osmanthus for Ji Yueqin.

"What does Sister Yue want Osmanthus to do?" Nan Xuanjin's peach eyes flickered at Ji Yueqin.

"This... secrecy!" Ji Yueqin made a face at Nan Xuanjin and stuck out her tongue.

Nan Xuanyu couldn't help but smile when he saw Ji Yueqin being so quirky.

On the other hand, Nan Xuanjin's face was darkened, this is really not someone to be provoked.

They started admiring the flowers in the Baiyuan Garden. There are still many beautiful flowers in the early autumn. I saw that the various varieties of chrysanthemums in the Baiyuan Garden were in full bloom.

At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the fiery clouds on the horizon were like the tail of a phoenix with fire feathers, and the whole sky was dyed a beautiful orange-red.

Ji Yueqin and the three of them were enjoying themselves, and Nan Xuanjin followed Nan Xuanyu shamelessly when he saw that Nan Xuanyu was going to send Ji Yueqin back.

They cheered and slapped along the way, which added a bit of warmth to the quiet and serious palace.

The queen learned that the prince and the emperor reported today that they were going to accompany the queen mother, but her subordinates saw the prince, Ji Yueqin and Nan Xuanjin enjoying flowers in the Hundred Gardens together, and angered the palace servants.

In the past, Duan Rou seduced Nan Ruiyuan and then went to provoke the Seventh Prince of Daliang, but now her daughter returns to Dayu and seduces her son just like her, how can she be angry!

... .

Ji Yueqin and his party returned to the Qianxi Palace and quietly asked the Queen Mother for something. The Queen Mother also agreed with a smile, and she slipped away like a wind.

Nan Xuanyu and Nan Xuanjin also wanted to follow Ji Yueqin to see what she was going to do, but because the Queen Mother was here, they waited with wide-eyed eyes.

The queen mother looked at the two grandsons, and smiled with a pursed mouth. This Ganxi Palace has not been so lively for a long time.

Here, Ji Yueqin took the embroidered bamboo and took the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers just picked from the Hundred Gardens and ran to the small kitchen in the Qianxi Palace. I saw Embroidered Bamboo wash the golden yellow flowers one by one, and here Ji Yueqin took the glutinous rice flour and mixed the sweet-scented osmanthus with the glutinous rice flour.

As soon as it was mixed here, he instructed Xiuzhu to bring bamboo stick dew to stir. This bamboo branch dew is collected from the dew condensed on the bamboo leaves in the early morning. There may not be many other places, but there are still some in the Qianxi Palace.

Because the queen mother liked tea made with bamboo stick dew very much, Ji Yueqin learned about it during lunch, so she used this bamboo stick dew when she made sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Then Ji Yueqin asked Xiuzhu to take out the mugwort leaves, packed the ingredients of the stirred sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and put it into the steamer. After doing this, Ji Yueqin went back to the West Hall to wash up quickly and then went to the main hall to have dinner with the Queen Mother.

This meal was satisfactory to Ji Yueqin and the Queen Mother, but Nan Xuanjin and Nan Xuanyu were hard to say.

The palace people took the food, and Ji Yueqin said to the queen mother with a smile: "The queen mother, Yueqin has prepared a surprise for you."

The queen mother became interested when she heard it, "Oh? What did Yueqin prepare for Ai's family?"

Nan Xuanyu and Nan Xuanjin looked at each other, it turned out that Ji Yueqin was preparing for a surprise just now.

Nan Xuanyu and Ji Yueqin became acquainted with each other after a day of getting along, so they asked curiously, "What did sister Yue prepare for grandmother, does brother Yu have any share?"

Although Nan Xuanjin did not speak, those peach blossom eyes looked at Ji Yueqin with some expectation, as if it was the same as what Nan Xuanyu wanted to ask.

Ji Yueqin pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Although it is a surprise for the Empress Dowager, but Yueqin has prepared a lot, and your Royal Highnesses also have a share."

After he finished speaking, he said to Xiuzhu, "Aunt Xiuzhu, bring your things up."

Xiuzhu responded and presented the food box in his hand. After it was presented, Embroidered Bamboo opened the food box, and immediately a refreshing fragrance of osmanthus and the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves hit the nostrils, making people salivate.

The glass-like sweet-scented osmanthus cake is placed in the food box, and the crystal clear cake is inlaid with small and exquisite sweet-scented osmanthus.

The queen mother picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, took a bite, and felt the fragrance of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus in her mouth permeating her body. At the same time, the fragrance of bamboo leaves rushed to the tip of her nose. .

The queen mother herself has a poor appetite, but this sweet-scented osmanthus cake made the queen mother eat four pieces in a row, and stopped until she couldn't eat any more.

Here, Nan Xuanjin and Nan Xuanyu are also full of praise for the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Ji Yueqin.

The queen mother was even more satisfied with Ji Yueqin, she couldn't help holding Ji Yueqin's hand and said, "Yueqin is not only knowledgeable and polite, but also so virtuous. I will be blessed to marry Yueqin's man in the future."

After saying that, the queen mother gave Nan Xuanyu a fluttering glance. Nan Xuanyu knew a little about the relationship between men and women in his teens, and he couldn't help but show a somewhat acceptable blush on his face.

Here, Ji Yueqin listened to the Queen Mother's words, and lowered her head shyly: "Yueqin kindly thought of the Queen Mother, but now the Queen Mother is here to make fun of Yueqin."

After listening to Ji Yueqin's words, the queen mother laughed out loud.

Seeing that the queen mother was happy and everyone laughed, Ji Yueqin said, "As long as the queen mother likes it, Yueqin can do it for the queen mother every day."

The queen mother laughed even more happily, touched Ji Yueqin's head and said, "Yueqin still feels sorry for her family."

Here, Nan Xuanjin and Nan Xuanyu also joked to the queen mother: "Then the grandson is going to come and disturb the grandmother more."

The queen mother looked at her two grandchildren and scolded with a smile: "You two are greedy. Do you mean that the food in the imperial kitchen is not delicious?"

Nan Xuanjin giggled, then approached the queen mother and pinched her shoulders for the queen mother: "Oh, what did grandma say, isn't this tired of eating from the imperial kitchen."

It's not that Nan Xuanyu is tired of eating in the imperial kitchen, but he just wants to get closer to Ji Yueqin, but he is not easy to say, but he also agrees with Nan Xuanjin's words.

The Qianxi Palace was very lively that night, but the Qingxin Palace was very different from the Qianxi Palace. Nan Ruiyuan received the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Ji Yueqin himself. After eating one piece, he sat on the dragon chair in a daze, looking gloomy and wondering what he was thinking.

In fact, Ji Yueqin's purpose of making sweet-scented osmanthus cake was not entirely just to please the queen mother. She accidentally learned from the palace servant that the queen mother had been losing her appetite recently, so she asked Xiuzhu about the queen mother's habits and preferences, and she did what she liked. The queen mother makes a sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

On the other hand, sweet-scented osmanthus cake was taught to her by her mother. She wanted to gain a firm foothold in this deep palace, and she only depended on Nan Ruiyuan, who sent someone to rescue her, and the empress dowager who cared for her. Only by winning their favor can you secure your position.

She didn't know what kind of feelings Nan Ruiyuan had for her mother, but she could know that the feelings must be very deep with the jade pendant, so why don't she give this sweet-scented osmanthus cake made with her mother's craftsmanship along with it. , let's see how the emperor of Da Yu reacted.

Ji Yueqin didn't want to plot against people who were kind to her, but she knew that if she didn't do what she wanted, it would be difficult to fundamentally stabilize her position in Dayu. If she wants revenge, she can't soften her heart, but she will never attack them!
