Thinking of Kangxi's stingy nature, Zhao Yan took a jar of candied begonias and asked someone to send them to Qianqing Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then, Kangxi arrived in the evening of the same day.

"The candied fruit is too sweet and too greasy!" said Boss Kang.

Zhao Yan's face darkened a little, you don't eat it if it's too sweet!

Kangxi sighed, expressed his understanding, and asked: "The begonia fruits were all picked by Ah Yu that day?"

Zhao Yan shrugged her shoulders, "He only picked a few? It wasn't enough to pickle at all, and the concubine deliberately picked a lot more, so it was enough." ”

Kangxi smiled and asked again, "It was also pickled by Yan'er's own hands?"

Zhao Yan thought about it for a while, and then said, "It's almost, it's a fire burned by white sandalwood." "——The ancient pot stove, Nima's she really can't hold it! You have to pull the bellows to burn the fire! The operation is too high, or the white sandalwood burns well.

Kangxi smiled so much that the corners of his eyes narrowed into a line, and nodded: "Grandma has a heart!"

At this time, Hu Qingxi raised his voice outside the floor cover: "Niangniang, Concubine De sent someone to send a few snacks, saying that it was a return gift." ”

Zhao Yan's eyelids drooped, she didn't return sooner or later, and she waited until Kangxi came to her to return Lilai......

Zhao Yan raised a smile and said, "Take it in!"

Hu Qingxi walked in with a huanghuali double-layer food box, and took out two plates of dim sum from the food box: rose cake and chongyang flower cake.

Zhao Yan glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Seeing that it is the Double Ninth Festival, this Double Ninth Flower Cake is just in season." But he picked up the plate of rose cakes, sniffed deeply, and said, "Take this to Ah Yan, he loves to eat rose stuffing the most." But remember to rinse his mouth before going to bed!

"Huh!"

Kangxi smiled and said, "I'm obviously a boy, but I like roses!"

Zhao Yan covered her lips and smiled: "Ah Yan just likes to eat roses!"

Kangxi smiled, picked up a piece of Chongyang flower cake, and looked at it twice, "Concubine De's cooking skills are good." ”

Zhao Yan was stunned: "This is made by Concubine De herself?!" - she thought it was the craftsmanship of the small kitchen of Yonghe Palace!

Kangxi said: "Concubine De can make some small snacks, but she is not inferior to the imperial chef." ”

Zhao Yan raised her eyes, "Really, I didn't expect that Concubine De would be able to go to the hall and the kitchen!" - it is rare for a concubine to know how to cook, let alone a proficient level of Concubine De. It seems that the concubines who can be favored are really different from others. Concubine De seems to know how to grasp a man's stomach!

Zhao Yan picked up a piece of Chongyang flower cake and looked at it carefully, this flower cake was cut small and exquisite, the background color was white, mixed with fine dried fruits, white sesame seeds, sweet almonds, red dates, and bean paste, which smelled sweet. When you bite into it, it's not too sweet, it's much lighter and more pleasant than candied fruit. Therefore...... It is a pastry that meets the taste of Kangxi.

Kangxi doesn't like things that are too sweet.

It seems that Concubine De didn't give it to him at all, but into Kangxi's mouth. But Kangxi put the piece of flower cake in his hand back on the plate,

Zhao Yan asked suspiciously, "Why doesn't the emperor taste it?"

Kangxi smiled, he rubbed his stomach and said, "I ate a belly of candied fruit, and I am tired of it!"

Belch...... It turned out that she ate too much of the candied begonias she sent, and she was so tired that she didn't want to eat dessert anymore! So even if this Chongyang flower cake was made lightly, Kangxi didn't have the appetite to eat it.

Hehe!

The little man in Zhao Yan's heart jumped up proudly, and then unceremoniously stuffed a plate of Chongyang flower cakes into his stomach!

Anyway, this plate is only eight pieces of flower cakes, one bite at a time, and it should be a supper.

Kangxi smiled and asked, "Grande likes to eat Chongyang flower cake very much?"

Zhao Yan shook her head: "I don't like it too much." It's just that since it's a hand-made snack, it's a thought, and naturally it shouldn't be disappointed. ”

Kangxi nodded approvingly, his eyes full of tenderness: "Yes, the heart is the most rare." ”

So, Kangxi took Zhao Yan into his arms and lowered his head to taste the red lips full of the sweet smell of flower cakes......

One night of harmony, there is no need to say much.

After the Double Ninth Festival, the concubines gathered in Cining Palace to say goodbye.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Imperial Concubine Tong, and said in a cold tone: "Didn't the mourning family say that the imperial concubine is pregnant, and she will have a good birth in the future, so there is no need to come to ask for peace." Why is it here again?"

Emperor Tong smiled gently and said softly: "The Empress Dowager is compassionate, and the concubines are grateful. It's just that the concubine's body is not heavy, and the fetal appearance is still stable, so she should always come to ask for filial piety. ”

The Empress Dowager's wrinkled old face was a little unhappy, to be honest, this old lady was obviously not happy with Tong Jia's approaching her.

Concubine Wen pursed her lips disdainfully, her eyes swept to Emperor Tong's waist, and she couldn't help but have a look of envy and jealousy.

Emperor Tong said with a smile: "The concubine's sister has been in the palace for some years, but she has to take good care of her body in order to inherit the grace of heaven and conceive a dragon fetus as soon as possible." ”

Concubine Wen looked at Emperor Tong's smug look, and she was not happy, so she gritted her teeth and said: "I heard that Concubine Jia has transferred the gift of Guanyin to the imperial concubine, I hope that the imperial concubine can really give birth to a brother!"

Concubine Tong was full of smiles: "Thank you sister Jiyan, if you can win the son in one fell swoop, you really have to thank Concubine Jia and the Empress Dowager for their blessings!"

Emperor Concubine Tong is so determined to be the prince and brother, which makes most of the people present feel uncomfortable. I don't know how many people silently cursed her in my heart to give birth to a girl. Among them, the most cursed is undoubtedly Concubine Wen.

Emperor Tong's concubine glanced at Zhao Yan meaningfully, "I heard that Concubine Jia is very good at pickling candied fruit, and even the emperor is full of praise!

Give it to your sister!!! I'm not satisfied with getting a statue of Guanyin!

Zhao Yan said lightly: "Unfortunately, the concubines pickled a total of three cans of candied fruit, one can was dedicated to the emperor, one can was given to the concubine, and the last can, the eighth elder brother has already eaten it!" - This is also true, a small jar of candied fruit is poured out and it is just a plate, Ah Yan's little gluttony, it will be all in one breath.

The smile on Concubine Tong's face stiffened, revealing a little dissatisfaction: "Then bother Concubine Jia to pickle a few more cans, this palace is not in a hurry!"

You're not in a hurry? The old lady still thinks you're too thick-skinned!

Zhao Yan said: "The method of pickling candied fruit is actually very simple, but the concubines don't know the taste of the imperial concubine. It's better to ask the chef of Jingren Palace to pickle it by himself, the eunuch in charge of the imperial concubine must know your taste best!"

If he refuses like this, he will sweep the face of Emperor Tong and Concubine Tong.

For a while, the concubines sitting there all had a playful smile. This smile made Emperor Tong's face even more embarrassed, she didn't fight anywhere, and was about to open her mouth to be sarcastic.

The Empress Dowager spoke: "The mourning family is lacking, you all retreat!"

At this moment, Emperor Concubine Tong was so angry that she could only swallow it back! The Empress Dowager was obviously partial to Zhao Yan, so Emperor Concubine Tong wanted to take advantage of her in Cining Palace, which was a pipe dream!

Emperor Concubine Tong gritted her silver teeth, pulled out a smile, and said, "I almost forgot, the emperor is going to Jingren Palace for dinner at noon today, and the concubine should go back early to prepare!" ”
