Chapter 7 I love to act coquettishly with my mother

Li Yingning's eyes fell on the glutinous rice, red beans, peanuts and other things brought by the maid, and her heart moved slightly.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang immediately pulled her and said with a smile on her face: "You can't enter the palace empty-handed during the Dragon Boat Festival. I will teach you how to wrap a few colorful rice dumplings and present them to the Queen and His Royal Highness."

Li Yingning secretly pouted.

She doesn't want to please old pious women and little perverts.

Thinking of this, Li Yingning immediately asked softly: "Mom, will you only bring your daughter into the palace today?"

"yes."

"Bring your sisters with you."

As soon as Li Yingning said this, Aunt Ruan and Aunt Tao's eyes lit up.

As aunts, they are naturally not qualified to go out. And because their daughters are concubines, they cannot go out and appear in aristocratic circles unless they are accompanied by their aunts.

Only when aristocratic girls show their faces in front of other noble ladies can they be selected and promised a good family.

In the past, because the second girl Li Siyao was sweet-tongued and good at coaxing people, Mr. Yang and the eldest girl loved to take her with them when they went out, even to the palace many times.

Unexpectedly, the eldest girl actually offered to take the other sisters with her today.

How could the two aunts not be happy?

Mrs. Yang has always been obedient to her daughter. When she heard this, she smiled and said, "In that case, take them with you. Aunt Ruan and Aunt Tao, you also go back and dress up the girls. Don't lose the dignity of our Li family."

"

"Yes, I, concubines, will go right away."

The aunts were extremely excited and hurriedly went back.

Not long after, Aunt Baixiu and Li Siyao came to the main courtyard after receiving the news.

Li Siyao, like her mother, has a simple and elegant appearance. She is wearing a delicate goose yellow dress, which makes her look even more elegant.

She first greeted Ms. Yang, then turned to Li Yingning and said with concern: "Elder sister has lost a lot of money in the past few days."

"Yeah." Li Yingning fiddled with a few rice dumpling leaves and said nonchalantly, "Maybe he's been a bad guy recently."

Li Siyao was stunned for a moment, feeling suspicious.

Ever since Zhexiu died, she had always felt a little uneasy.

And Li Yingning, who was always affectionate and affectionate towards her in the past, has become much colder.

Could it be that she noticed something?

"Second sister?"

"Ah?" Li Siyao heard a voice in her ears, and when she came to her senses, she realized that it was Li Yingning calling her.

She hurriedly responded: "Yes, sister, what can I do?"

Li Yingning waved her hand: "Why are you sitting so far away? Come over here quickly. Mom is teaching me how to wrap rice dumplings. You should also come over and learn together, and bring a few to the palace to present to the ladies for good luck."

Seeing the soft and affectionate smile on Li Yingning's face, the doubts and uneasiness in Li Siyao's heart disappeared instantly.

Yes, she is still the innocent and brainless young lady who was pampered and pampered and grew up without any scheming or government.

It can be controlled and manipulated by her.

Li Siyao's heart dropped loudly.

She immediately showed a flattering smile, approached Li Yingning, and said diligently: "My mother is from Jiangnan. She has the most skillful hands and can wrap all kinds of rice dumplings. My aunt can't do anything."

Aunt Baixiu was not annoyed at all when she heard this, and said with a gentle smile: "Madam, I was born in our family. Your aunt and I were sold to study arts when I was young. Where can I learn these things? You, you can have a wife and a eldest lady to teach you, but

Your blessing lies in studying hard."

"I know." Li Siyao showed a cute smile and fiddled with the colored threads clumsily, "Hey, why is this messy? I really can't do anything well."

It’s this clumsy virtue again.

Li Yingning has already seen what she will look like in the future, and knows that Aunt Baixiu is actually versatile and has more skillful hands than Yang.

Li Siyao was not only proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he was also good at wrapping rice dumplings. The tiger head rice dumplings and lotus flower rice dumplings were both lifelike.

At the Dragon Boat Festival banquet in the second year after Li Yingning married the sixth prince, Li Siyao made a splash. She successfully won the favor of Cai Guogong's crown prince with a seven-hole exquisite lotus rice dumpling, and was married home as a concubine. Within two years, Cai Guogong and his wife and the crown prince's wife

After dying of illness one after another, she was successfully rehabilitated and became the dignified wife of Cai Guogong.

Later, Cai Guogong defected to Gu Changyuan and helped him seize power and ascend to the throne, and gained the merit of following the dragon.

During the dark years when Li Yingning married Gu Changyuan, Li Siyao could be said to have climbed to the top step by step and was full of ambition.

Back then, Li Yingning was simple-minded and would only be happy for this sister.

now.

Everything is different.

Li Siyao's deliberately naive and clumsy performance made Li Yingning gag.

But she hid her emotions very well, and still affectionately asked Yang to teach Li Siyao how to wrap rice dumplings.

When Li Siyao wrapped the rice dumplings awkwardly, Li Yingning still had a mess in his hands.

She acted coquettishly to Mrs. Yang: "Mom, I don't make zongzi anymore. The leaves prick my hands and the water has turned my fingers white. You'd better teach me how to make zongzi."

Yang picked up her finger, blew it carefully, and sighed in a funny and helpless way: "You are so squeamish, blame me for spoiling you."

Li Siyao said hurriedly: "My sister's hands are used to write and play the piano. How can I do such rough work? I will give my sister the rice dumplings I wrapped."

"Really?" Li Yingning's eyes brightened, "Second sister, you are so good to me."

Li Siyao smiled shyly and said: "Father often teaches us that we are sisters and we should help each other."

"Then I'm not welcome. I'm worried about what to give to the Queen this afternoon. Can you help me wrap a few more unique styles?" Li Yingning happily took off a twist from her wrist.

The silk gold bracelet was thrust into her hand, "I can't ask you to help me in vain. This bracelet is inlaid with rubies, which matches your skin tone best."

"Ah, you can't do this, it's too expensive." Aunt Baixiu dissuaded her.
