Chapter 312: Deadly Dessert
The emperor listened to the words of the horse, and appreciated the handsome man in front of him in his heart, he only felt that he was wrong to blame him before, this person was not a prodigal child, but a great talent who worried about the country and the people, the key is his sacrificial dedication, but there is nothing to say.
This kind of spirit of giving up a small family for everyone is worth learning from these officials in the imperial court. The emperor was only very pleased, this can also invisibly give himself a light, after all, as soon as this person is old, his physical strength and energy are declining.
However, state affairs have not been reduced by the age of the Son of Heaven. He needs such young people with both ability and integrity to advise him, and use the far-sighted and wise decisions to handle the affairs of the country.
In addition, the relationship between the colt and himself is even more worthy of his trust. Moreover, the horse's impassioned words moved him again, and made him re-examine this elegant boy with good talents.
There is really a little bit of the shadow of my youth, there is no limit, no worries, no dusty old customs, no other people's words, only a fire and enthusiasm in my heart!
No one dares to contradict me except the princess, and you are the first! However, the point of view expressed by a person is not based on the level of the person's position, but on whether the point of view is correct.
In this way, I cannot weaken your enthusiasm for the country and the people, and you have the flexibility to take time out to be busy with political affairs without affecting your body or the princess's emotions. The Emperor said with great understanding.
The pearl bird was secretly happy in his heart, and the emperor's understanding and decision undoubtedly provided a very suitable reason for the horse to avoid the princess. Now you can be more flexible. Besides, being busy with state affairs has always been her greatest wish. Now I can finally avoid the princess in a grand way.
In this way, the pearl bird went back to 1510 and told the princess about the meeting with the emperor, of course, he did not forget to exaggerate how the emperor affirmed his governance and how much he supported him in handling government affairs.
Of course, I didn't forget to tell the princess the news that Wanyun's condition had improved, this is very important, the emperor has arranged a lot of eyeliner in Qifeng Palace, at this time, if you still go to Wanyun to hide at night, it will inevitably cause trouble.
Now that it is just down the slope, it will be calculated, not only can handle government affairs, contribute to the country, and benefit the people, but also can avoid the princess at night, so as not to expose the identity of this woman, which is a strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
Princess Xueyan already admired the concubine, and the concubine's mind was used to serve the country and work for the people, which made her even more moved. She was proud of her noble personality and sentiments. Of course, she was also worried about her father's health, and that night her father came to Qifeng Palace to see her, and obviously felt that his temples were white, wrinkles were piled up, his eye sockets were deep, and his complexion was not good, which was caused by long-term work for state affairs. The colt is the best candidate.
Of course, what made the princess feel the most happy was that Wanyun's condition had obviously improved, and the concubine said that she was busy with government affairs, so she could not go to Wanyun's boudoir, and those girls could take care of her.
This is the most worthy of the princess's happiness. After all, there is a thread of cutting between the horse and Wanyun, and the old relationship is chaotic. This night is accompanied by lonely men and widows, and it is inevitable that the old love will not be rekindled, which is also the most worrying thing for the princess.
Now it's okay, the horse is busy with political affairs, and it also reduces the chance of contact with that Wanyun.
This is what the princess wants to see the most.
In this way, the horses were busy with government affairs day and night, working for the people. The princess was still alone in the empty room, with the moonlit night as her companion.
One day, the servant brought the princess a daily dessert, jujube mud cake and dragon whisker cake.
The princess likes to eat the dragon whisker crisp since she was a child, its white and dense, as thin as a hair, melts in the mouth, the filaments are ten thousand wisps, sweet and delicious, and the aftertaste is endless.
Therefore, every evening, the chefs of the imperial dining room will serve the princess that exquisite dessert, which is naturally quite rich.
Snow clam paste, rock sugar bird's nest, sweet potato, bean paste pot cake, stewed egg, double skin milk, tofu flower, turtle jelly, kelp mung bean paste, red bean paste, sesame paste, peanut paste, size eight pieces, mung bean cake, red bean cake, osmanthus cake, rice cake, hair cake, poria cake, pea yellow, water chestnut cake, mille-feuille cake, cold cake. These Chinese desserts and pastries take turns.
In order to satisfy the princess's taste, the emperor also deliberately contacted overseas countries with officials of the Ministry of Rites, and spent a lot of money to hire Western dessert chefs to take ingredients from other places to make delicious desserts with exotic flavors, and take turns to satisfy the princess's pampered and picky taste buds as much as possible.
Italian Tiramisu, Sabayong, French Sand River Cake, Wood Cake, Souffli, Mousse Cake, Oberla Cake, Madeleine Shell Desserts, German Black Forest Cake, English Syrup Muffin Pudding, American Boston Pie, Chiffon Cake, Brownie, Swiss Roll, Nagasaki Honey Cake, Arabic Cheesecake, Austrian Stollen Desserts, Spanish Praline Cake, Portuguese Custard Tarts, etc.
No matter how delicious the ingredients are, there will always be a time when they are tired of eating, and although the chefs of various countries have hollowed out their hearts and souls, the eight immortals have crossed the sea, and each has its own magical powers, it is difficult to guarantee the taste of the princess.
The princess eats and still has a soft spot for that kind of dessert, that is, the dragon whisker crisp that is as white as snow and as thin as a hair, and the princess's preference for this dessert has reached the realm of obsession.
She told her subordinates that no matter what pastries and desserts are served every day, there must be a piece of dragon whisker cake next to it, and often when the subordinates clean up the plate, the daily updated special pastries and desserts have no traces of eating, but the piece of dragon whisker cake next to it is eaten at all.
So the people who cleaned up the plate had a mouth, and secretly ate the delicious desserts that were not touched, and after a long time, people will clean up the plate as a welfare, scrambling to do it, and finally they are really fighting, so they take turns to clean up, so that everyone can enjoy the deliciousness of this royal court pastry.
In the emperor's mind, the most noble is his daughter Princess Xueyan, who, like all fathers love their daughters, always wants to do their best to bring the best things in the world to their palms.
Yan Zhen, a waiter from the Ministry of Rites who visited Belgium, returned and mysteriously brought a famous Belgian pastry chef to the emperor.
Yan Zhen understands the emperor's character, and everything that involves pampering Princess Xueyan is often very low-key.
After all, it is not a very glorious thing to use the majesty and status of the emperor for the benefit of Princess Xueyan, the princess has everything, and there are many pampered bad habits, after all, it is formed from a young age, it is difficult to change, for example, when eating, eat less, and leave more, this is the bad problem of waste, you must know that the poor people still can't eat.
The emperor's heart is like a mirror, but there is no way, after all, it is his own daughter, he still has a certain amount of selfishness, but the ministers are keenly aware of this, Yan Zhen is one of them, he visited abroad, and did not forget to bring back a dessert chef for the princess, just to win the dragon's face.
However, this matter is not on the way after all
On the bright side, he mysteriously introduced the chef's dessert cooking skills to the emperor in detail, and he was apprehensive and didn't know if the emperor was interested.
"Your Majesty! On this trip to Europe, I have brought back a famous Belgian dessert chef!" Yan Zhen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, saluted the emperor very respectfully.
When the Emperor heard this, he was interested, and he had been worried about the princess for the past few days, and she had always lost her appetite.
Even if the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the birds and beasts, could not make him eat more than half a mouthful, and the emperor was very anxious when he thought about it.
Therefore, I was very happy in my heart, after all, this Belgian dessert has not yet been tasted by the princess, and it is also very new, I hope that the princess will be able to have a great appetite after tasting the delicious dessert. It can strengthen and strengthen the weak bones of the body.
The emperor was thinking about it in his heart, and smiled at Yan Zhen slightly, "Aiqing, don't be polite! I don't know what this chef's representative work is?" the emperor asked with some curiosity.
"Your Majesty! This chef is best at making Gofandi pebble chocolate. Yan Zhen replied truthfully.
"Godiva?pebble chocolate?" the emperor repeated in amazement, as the Son of Heaven, there were few delicacies that he had not tasted, but this was the first time he had heard of such a dessert.
Yan Zhen smiled slightly, "Your Majesty! This Godivan is the No. 1 chocolate brand in Belgium, the brand's chocolate is silky and rich, soft and sweet, delicate and shiny, and it is endlessly evocative! ”
"Is it really that good?, and what is this Godiva, and why is it called a pebble?" the Emperor continued.
Yan Zhen carefully explained: "This Godivan is the name of a countess, and according to legend, this count wants to collect heavy taxes from the people, and the kind-hearted countess sees that the people are suffering and the people are not living, so she persuades the earl to exempt the people from paying taxes.
When the earl heard this, he was furious, and complained about why the lady spoke for the people, and that the country wanted to expand abroad and wage war, and there was no need for money.
Madame Godiva tried her best to dissuade her husband, emphasizing that the people were honest and kind, but the count was full of doubts.
In desperation to prove her words, the lady had to make a bet with her husband. Madame Godiva took off her clothes, and rode through the streets of the city with only her long hair covered by her long stripes, and if the people kept their doors and windows closed tightly in their homes and did not peek out, then it proved that Madame was very correct in what she said, and that the people were honest and good people.
The Count gladly agreed, and when Madame Godiva rode through the city, the people were all hiding in their homes, and no one peeked in. The Count was so moved that he decided to stop his expansion and endless wars, and to be exempt from taxation.
The legend is so widespread that the chocolate brand borrowed the name of Madame de Gofandi. The brand's first store opened on a cobblestone street, and in honor of the place, the pastry chefs made the chocolates the size of pebbles, which are very delicate and have different flavors!"
The emperor nodded again and again, and it seemed that not only his own country, but also many countries regard the suffering of the common people as the first priority! He could not help but think of Concubine Zhen's concept of governance, and it is really extremely correct to always put the people first.
"Aiqing, this matter must not be publicized, and the dessert served to the princess is randomly added to this chocolate!" the emperor said thoughtfully.
On this day, the people still served the dinner plate, and there were six Gofan Tei pebble chocolates in it, and next to it was still the very familiar dragon whisker cake. Unbeknownst to him, the unthinkable had happened. ”
