Nangong Yuhuan sighed, the emperor spent all his thoughts on these strange and ingenious utensils, I am afraid that it is not a good thing for the country.

When Gonggong Gao saw that Nangong Yulan had received the palace leak, he said: "The emperor is in the early dynasty, and he will come to Niangniang for dinner after the court meeting, and ask Niangniang to prepare it." ”

"Thank you father-in-law for the reminder. Nangong Yulan smiled and ordered the palace maid next to her to hand over the spirit stone, and Gonggong Gao was not polite, and received it in his sleeve. Father-in-law Gao had a matter here, so he went back and didn't mention it.

Everyone sent off Gonggong Gao, and Concubine Qiang's mind turned quickly, and she stepped forward and said to Nangong Yulan: "The emperor is going to come over for dinner at noon today, do you need the help of my sisters? ”

Ru Concubine also said on the side: "My craftsmanship is not bad, especially the pastries are good, do you need us to stay and help?"

Nangong Yulan smiled slightly when she heard this: "Where do you dare to work the two younger sisters to make soup by themselves, I have a small kitchen in this Chunhua Palace, with pots and pans, let the kitchen girls do it, but I am afraid that they will not be satisfied, and they will have to supervise the work in a while, so I will not leave the two sisters." ”

Seeing that Nangong Yulan had given an eviction order, although Concubine Qiang and Concubine Ru were unhappy, they couldn't say anything, so they had to leave. Watching the two of them walk out of the palace gate, Nangong Yulan's smiling face turned cold.

Nangong Yuhuan sighed and said, "Sister is really tired!"

"Who says it's not?" Nangong Yulan shook her head and said: "Life in the palace is like this, the intrigue has not stopped for a day, those two are unreliable, and it is our own sisters who rely on it." ”

Nangong Yuhuan grinned and said: "Sister Yulan, I like to hear what you say, so I will say this to you, I will teach you a way to cook today, and keep the emperor to eat it." ”

"Oh, Sister Huan, what's a good idea, let's hear about it?" Nangong Yulan immediately became interested when she heard this.

Nangong Yuhuan said: "The banquet guests should serve a meal, and the meal must be more exquisite than the home-cooked meal, so as to show the extraordinaryness of the host, but how to make it more exquisite? ”

Nangong Yuhuan said and took out a mutton fat white jade bottle from the storage ring and said: "This is the osmanthus flower dew I collected before, which was originally intended to be used for drinking by myself, or used to wash my face and beautify, so give it to my sister now." All you have to do is tell you to go down and pour the dew over the rice just as it is about to be cooked. After pouring it, cover it and stuff it for a while, mix it well and put it in a bowl on the line, people who eat this kind of rice think that it is good rice, think that it is a strange new rice variety, I don't know if it is just ordinary spiritual rice. ”

Nangong Yulan was overjoyed when she heard this: "This method is wonderful, I will arrange someone to try it immediately." ”

Nangong Yuhuan advised again: "When using this method, you don't have to pour the whole pot, it will take a lot of flower dew, you only need to pour it on a corner, enough for the guests to eat." ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it right away. Nangong Yulan hurriedly ordered.

After arranging the kitchen meal, Nangong Yulan asked, "Can you only use osmanthus dew to cook this kind of rice?

Nangong Yuhuan explained: "The flower dew is still best made of roses, citrons, and osmanthus, and you can't use roses, because the aroma of roses makes people easily identify and know that it is not owned by the grain itself." The aroma of rose, citron, and osmanthus is similar to the aroma of grains, which is difficult to distinguish, so it is suitable for use. ”

Nangong Yulan exclaimed: "It turns out that there are so many exquisitenesses, I don't know where my sister learned it, and even know all this!"

Nangong Yuhuan said with a smile: "I'm not like you, I grew up in Zuzhou, the aura here is abundant, the ingredients are also unique, tender and juicy, the rice grown is not only delicious but also has aura, and the ingredients in our Shenzhou are much worse, so I have to think of this way to remedy it." ”

"Oh, I see, I've never been to Shenzhou, I really want to go to Shenzhou one day to see the customs there. Nangong Yulan said regretfully.

"Your entrance to the palace is as deep as the sea, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go out again. Nangong Yuhuan said with regret.

"Yes, that's why I envy my sister's life!" Nangong Yulan sighed.

"Everyone has their own fate, you envy me, I don't know how many people envy you, sister?" Nangong Yuhuan persuaded.

"You're right, but I'm still not willing to die in the palace so old. Nangong Yulan said hatefully.

"Sister, now is not the time for you to think about this, when the emperor is coming, you better be careful. Nangong Yuhuan reminded.

Nangong Yulan smiled bitterly: "You are always like this, always pulling me back from fantasy to reality, no matter what, this is what I should have faced, then I will go to the imperial kitchen to supervise the work." Sister, please take care of yourself. ”

Nangong Yuhuan smiled and said: "I don't want to be an eyesore in the palace, so I won't have to be verbose when the emperor comes, so I'll go around other places." ”

Nangong Yulan said: "It's okay, then you take care of yourself." ”

"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've been to the palace. Nangong Yuhuan patted the back of Yulan's hand: "Sister, just entertain the emperor." ”

Nangong Yuhuan left Chunhua Palace and wandered in the imperial garden of the palace, followed by Mo'e, Lu Qiao, Bai Lai, Hongxuan, Ziyu, Qinglian and Lu Zheng, the eunuch, Nangong Yuhuan watched coldly and found that Lu Zheng was not unusual, and the six palace maids obviously had some panic on their faces.

In the end, Hongxuan still couldn't hold back, and asked on the side of Nangong Yuhuan: "Why doesn't the young lady at noon stay in the Chunhua Palace for dinner, but run out?"

Nangong Yuhuan glanced at Hongxuan and said: "Although it is good in Chunhua Palace, but that is the residence of my sister Yulan, I really shouldn't stay there for a long time, especially when the emperor comes to see my sister, it is when the two of them say something considerate, it is not good if I am there." ”

Nangong Yuhuan said this truth, Hongxuan was speechless and couldn't say anything, Nangong Yuhuan suddenly said: "I forgot, I have been Bigu for a long time, I can not eat, but I don't know if you can also Bigu, if you come out with me at noon to starve, it is not mine." ”

After hearing this, everyone hurriedly replied: "If it is not in the way, even if we do not completely clear the grain, we can not eat one or two meals, and there is nothing." ”

Nangong Yuhuan smiled and said, "That's good, I'm still afraid that I'll starve you." In that case, it would be bad for you to go to the garden with me on the surface, but you were scolding me in your stomach. ”

"What did the young lady say, are we like that? Mo E said dissatisfiedly.

"Haha, blame me, blame me, I shouldn't have said that. Nangong Yuhuan said with a smile: "In order to apologize, how about I make a bottle of flower dew for each of you? ”
