Yilan, who had been following Fu Nianjun, was almost green in her face, how could her heart not be strange?

She didn't even look at the old iron pot that the widow used to cook soy milk......

But she didn't say that she used to use this pot, and no one said that the soy milk cooked in the neighborhood was not delicious.

Yilan guessed that the neighbors might be just to help some of their orphans and widows.

Fu Nianjun smiled, although she wanted to get back the taste of the Empress Dowager's memory, she couldn't send this thing to the Empress Dowager Xu like this.

With her old man's expensive tongue now, how could such a thing be able to enter her mouth?

Fu Nianjun understands a truth very well, if the taste in the memory is very present, it is not beautiful, as long as you keep three points, it is the best.

The remaining seven points were originally a little attachment in your own heart after the memory has been polished over the years, and this feeling lasts for a long time.

So......

Fu Nianjun asked Aunt Wang:

"Do you still have fried black sesame seeds here?"

******

When Fu Nianjun arrived at Ciming Palace, there were already many people.

Empress Shu is still amiable, and in the Ciming Palace, there is obviously a person who can raise her head higher and more imposing than her, and even vaguely overshadows the queen's light.

Xu Defei.

Anywhere else in this palace, including her own dormitory, she was afraid that she didn't have such confidence, but here in her own aunt, she could.

This is the only place where she can leave that slut of the Zhang family far behind.

And the other concubines, most of them came with the intention of watching the excitement, the queen mother has been sick for many days, they are afraid of her temper, and they dare not come to the door every day to disturb.

Of course, Zhang Shufei is bound to be absent.

Unless she wants to see the excitement, the eagerness exceeds the grievances and hatreds that she has fought with Concubine Xu Defei for decades.

Empress Dowager Xu was helped out by the palace people and the inner attendants, she was slightly hunchbacked, short and dundun, wearing a dark blue large-sleeved Zhai robe, combing a white horn crown, and wearing a white horn comb, almost pressing her old man to see her neck.

The emperor doesn't look like her, and her own daughter, the eldest princess of the country, is not like her, but her niece Concubine Xu Defei is more like her own daughter in appearance.

Fu Nianjun saw the Queen Mother for the first time, and she was thinking nonsense, so the Empress Dowager Xu liked Concubine Xu more often, not just because she was her niece, maybe because she was more like herself?

Emperor Taizong married himself, so he wanted the emperor's son to marry his own "copy"?

There may be many such mothers in the world.

The Empress Dowager Xu had no spirit, leaning on the pillow coyly, and the palace people next to her were full of anxiety, and Fu Nianjun learned from their conversation that the Empress Dowager Xu did not use breakfast well.

Empress Dowager Xu waved her hand impatiently and said, "Don't talk in the old body's ear, it's annoying to listen to ......."

The palace people had no choice but to shut up.

In front of this group of people, only Concubine Xu Defei was the most faceful, and she went up to say a few words to the Empress Dowager Xu, and the Empress Dowager Xu's face eased a little.

All the little ladies were very worried, half of them were worried that they would not be able to get into the eyes of the Queen Mother, and the other half were worried about the dishes they brought into the palace.

When the weather is cold, the dishes are easy to get cold, and now their respective dishes are placed in the imperial dining room, just waiting for the Empress Dowager Xu to pass the meal here.

Empress Dowager Xu and Concubine Xu Defei said a few words, and their eyes glanced at the few little ladies in the hall.

The first words she uttered made Fu Nianjun a little surprised.

"Which one is the daughter of Fu Xiang's family? Come and let the old man take a look. ”

Fu Nianjun stepped forward and saluted the Empress Dowager Xu, not daring to look directly at her.

Empress Dowager Xu looked her up and down before she said:

"The little lady of the Fu family, I heard that she is quite promising. ”

The meaning of these words is not easy to figure out, whether it is praise or depreciation, Fu Nianjun can't say it well.

The Xu family and the Fu family are not considered to have had a relationship, but the eldest princess of the country does, so the Empress Dowager Xu must have known about Fu Nianjun's affairs in the past, and she must have known it last time when she had such a long face in front of the emperor.

After saying a few words simply, Empress Dowager Xu did not pay more attention to Fu Nianjun, but asked the attendant to pass on the meal.

I have to say that all the little ladies showed their magical powers, and a table full of dishes was spread, and the posture was completely in time for the New Year in the palace.

The emperor and queen live a simple life, and there are few dishes for daily meals, and they are more afraid of the verbal criticism of the officials than the appetite, and the queen mother's palace is already the highest standard of vegetarian diet.

And she has been in poor health recently, and the imperial chefs have tried their best to serve the food to the Ciming Palace, but it is still not as good as today's battle.

These dishes, just like the little ladies, have their own styles, exquisite and beautiful, simple and low-key......

Fu Nianjun noticed that the mahogany tray where his dishes were placed was placed at the end, and he was a little surprised, and suddenly thought of the meaningful eyes of the female official who had led them in just now.

She smiled inwardly.

I was so busy and confused that I forgot to even touch these people in the palace.

This cooking competition, and not like the previous two, this time the first to come first is particularly important, if the Queen Mother has eaten your dishes are already full, then what are you better than?

Empress Dowager Xu moved her eyelids, and she didn't care about the nervous appearance of them standing aside, anyway, she just wanted to taste something fresh.

At the top of the list is the tribute of Jiang Niangzi.

Fu Nianjun finally realized where the smug look on her face came from.

This rich man ......

Isn't she already going to fight for the position of princess? What are she doing to be in the limelight like this?

And Fu Nianjun can only apologize for the level of her two dishes.

The big dragon head carved from the huge radish on the plate was really not very beautiful, and even the Empress Dowager Xu frowned slightly when she saw it.

It can only be said that such a large radish is really hard to find.

The Jiang family's wealth can indeed be reflected here.

This dish is braised lamb, just looking at this exaggerated decoration, Fu Nianjun thought it would be dragon meat in the sky.

Concubine Xu Defei and Empress Shu accompanied Empress Dowager Xu to make this judgment together, Empress Shu didn't seem to be interested in such dazzling food, and only stared at Empress Dowager Xu's reaction, but Concubine Xu Defei saw that Empress Dowager Xu made a chopstick, so she also let the palace people serve and taste it.

can't wait for Empress Dowager Xu's evaluation, and you can't call people out of the stage in the cold.

The dish is naturally a good dish, with a full range of color, flavor and flavor.

But apart from the carving, there doesn't seem to be anything outstanding.

Concubine Xu Defei tasted it and said, "This mutton paste produced in Fengyi County is the first to be tender, and it does taste very beautiful." ”

That's what she had to say.

Lu Qiniang, Pei Siniang and the others were immediately relieved.

Concubine Xu Defei only praised the mutton and not the cooking skills, it seems that the two of them are not too satisfied with Jiang Niangzi's dish.
