Chapter 13
Pan Chen came back to Roufu Hall from Kangshou Palace, as if he had fought a battle without gunpowder, exhausted. The Inner Court Division sent some standard gifts, which were nothing more than for wearing, Pan Chen was not interested now, and it was rare to ask Xingshuang at noon to eat a bowl of sweet soup to replenish his vitality, Xingshuang was a little embarrassed:
"Niangniang, the sweets in the imperial dining room should be told to the dining room manager in advance, let's go over rashly, either we can't get it, or we take it from other palaces, but in this palace, we ...... count."
Xingshuang didn't say anything later, but Pan Chen understood, but we have the lowest rank in this palace, how can we get other people's things, so the final result is still - can't get it! Pan Chen leaned on the soft couch, this world is really difficult, I don't want to eat sugar, I have seen the sugar-making process recorded in a book before, if she has tools, even if she makes sugar by herself, it is better than eating without sugar every day.
Xingshuang also felt sorry for Pan Chen, and said, "Why don't you go and see if you can get two stacks of fragrant honey cakes or taro flour cakes." ”
Pan Chen held the pillow in his arms, the listless Fu'er nodded on the soft couch, only felt that the TV series was all deceitful, ancient materials were much scarcer than modern ones, after the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions to bring back some new varieties, sugar making technology is probably available in the Han Dynasty, but this has always been enjoyed by rich and noble families, and it is not popular, Pan Chen is fortunate to be born in the Pan family, if he was born in an ordinary family in this era, it is estimated that he will not even be able to taste it at all, so thinking about it, Pan Chen seems to feel better in his heart.
Cheer up and classify the things sent by the Inner Court Division, there are four seasons cloth, hairpin flowers on the head and face, two pairs of gold and jade Ruyi, a pair of palm-sized porcelain carved mandarin duck tripods, a pair of jade hook cloud pattern palace lamps, a page of four small lakes and mountains, four green jade entwined lotus bottles, in addition to the two pairs of jade Ruyi and four seasons cloth, other things Pan Chen let leave and do not enter the warehouse, the head and face hairpin flowers are put into the dresser, and the rest will be decorated in the house with their own things, and two green jade lotus bottles are placed on the long case at the door, and the yard is full of spring. The peach blossoms are in good bloom, let Moonset and Starfrost go to the yard to cut a few peach branches with pink buds and green flower leaves, fill the bottle with water, and raise fresh peach branches into it, Moonfall is surprised:
"Niangniang, this is a royal treasure, you use it to raise flowers like this?"
Pan Chen was busy arranging flowers, and replied casually: "The vase should raise flowers, is it possible to eat a meal?" ”
Yueluo and Xingshuang glanced at each other, and the two of them thought about it, it seemed to be such a truth, although they still felt that it was a bit of a waste to raise flowers with such a priceless vase, but Niangniang was the master, they were just slaves and maids who were responsible for obedient things, and the two of them still understood how to respect and inferior.
After tinkering with the vase, Pan Chen picked up the pair of jade hook cloud pattern palace lamps again, and the moonset and star frost escorted them left and right, as if she was holding the 6SP they had just bought, for fear that she would drop things on the ground, they were ready to lie on the ground as a human cushion at any time, Pan Chen replaced the original paper palace lamps on both sides of the stepping bed, and sure enough, the overall atmosphere was much more foreign; Then I took the four small lakes and mountains to the small study, this small study is Pan Chen's own separation, she brought a lot of books and books from Pan's house, these things if they are placed in the cage all the year round, it will not take long to become moldy and change, it is better to find a place to store it publicly, so it looks convenient, although Pan Chen does not write poems, but sometimes he will read books here, drink tea, study and study ancient books, bask in the sun or something, it is a free little world, The screen of the lake and mountains is placed on the windowsill, the jade tire is thin enough, and the sunlight is refracted through, and the small space seems to add color, warm and bright.
Pan Chen worked hard all day, and finally arranged all the things that could be used, looking much plumper than before, glancing at the sundial outside, the sun was west, and the shadow of the small wooden stick pointed to 16 o'clock, Pan Chen sat under the grape trellis, let the moon set to make her a cup of tea, and then began to think solemnly...... What's for dinner.
Yueluo waited for her to order, Pan Chen thought about it and said: "The sauce given in the imperial dining room last time is good, let them add some minced meat to boil, and then serve three or four buns, and then ask for two courgettes, cut them into slices and dip them in the sauce together, let them keep the seeds in the courgette, and you can take it back together." ”
In this era of scarcity of materials, the food is quite limited, the courgette here tastes similar to cucumbers, however, it is not as tender as modern cucumbers, it grows older, and its stomach is full of seeds, like a gourd.
She deliberately left a piece of land in the corner of the Roufu Palace, just want to grow a little thing by herself, there is a lesson of grafting in the junior high school biology textbook, in the era of lack of materials, she can only do it herself, in order to have enough food and clothing, anyway, she has a lot of time, in modern times her favorite is to study the certificate, she has taken all kinds of certificates that can be tested in the university, 70% have passed, not because it is easy to find a job because of the certificate, she just simply likes to understand what she doesn't understand, how to say it, more research spirit, Once she crossed, all her previous homework was in vain, but this did not affect her from engaging in experimental fields and scientific research, not seeking to benefit her neighbors, but also to benefit herself.
When he didn't sleep before, Pan Chen also asked for seeds in the imperial dining room, but they were all ignored, and every time he sent eating utensils, he was either short or two catties or less of his kind, but today, the food that Yueluo took back from the imperial dining room was obviously much finer than before, and several types that Pan Chen had not eaten before were added, which shows how important it is to complete the formalities in the palace, since the imperial dining room has enlightenment, then Pan Chen naturally has to seize this opportunity to ask for more things with them, lest the emperor not come in two days, The imperial dining room is back to its old state, and she can always leave some seeds, and she can leave some hope that it is not.
Because Pan Chen wanted it relatively simple, so Yueluo and Zhang Neng came back after a while, Pan Chen saw that the time was still early, so he asked people to move a table out and put it under the grape trellis, the grapevines have already sent out some green buds, the leaves are the size of a table tennis ball, and they are very cute, this is still the grape seeds that Pan Chen just entered the palace from the imperial dining room to plant, the first year did not produce grapes, and I don't know how this year, but no matter what, it is still very good to enjoy the shade under this shady grape trellis in summer.
The table was set, and the contents of the food box were also displayed on the table, and as soon as Pan Chen picked up a piece of steamed bun, he heard the eunuch's chanting from outside the Roufu Palace:
"The emperor has arrived."
The bun in Pan Chen's hand almost fell to the ground, the moonfall and starfrost's hurried appearance made Pan Chen a little nervous, walked away from the table, and hurriedly led the people of the Roufu Hall to the door to greet him, only to see Qi Mozhou wearing a Tibetan dark dragon pattern, walking in a tiger's step, and walking in with great momentum, like a gust of wind blowing from the desert, rough and domineering, and his face was not very good, Pan Chen subconsciously took a small step back, Qi Mozhou stood still in front of her, and his eyes fell on the steamed bun that Pan Chen put down in his hand. Pan Chen realized that he was funny, embarrassed, and finally took a look at this face-to-face, Pan Chen unexpectedly found that this emperor is really good-looking, with deep facial features, handsome and straight, about one meter and eight, broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, sword eyebrows and handsome eyes last night also let her see the true meaning of dressing thin and undressing, if his expression is not so paralyzed, Pan Chen feels that with his appearance, it should not be a problem to shoot a TV movie or something.
Pan Chen pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, sincere and enthusiastic: "Your Majesty...... Have you eaten it? ”
Qi Mozhou looked at the woman in front of him, only to feel that she was smiling, her eyes were black and bright, revealing a sense of simplicity, just like the little earth dog he had raised for a few days when he was a child, when he saw him, he wagged his tail and fluttered over, glanced at the courtyard, and saw that there was a table under her grape shelf, and the food had just been placed, and she was ready to eat dinner, Qi Mozhou walked over and said in a deep voice:
"You're going to eat these at night?"
Before Pan Chen could answer, Li Shun hurriedly stepped forward: "The servant will let the imperial dining room pass the meal." ”
While speaking, he glanced at the dinner on the table that could be called cold, Li Shun almost wanted to eat the few kills served in the imperial dining room, knowing that this lady had just slept yesterday, and she was still so lazy today, a bowl of sauce, four steamed buns, a plate of sliced courgette, two plates of radish pickles, and a bowl of gruel that didn't look like a good quality...... Li Shun almost wanted to roll his eyes, pigs are smarter than the people who serve in the imperial dining room.
Qi Mozhou sat in the place where Pan Chen was sitting before, picked up a piece of bun in the bamboo and rattan basket, took a bite, and said, "No need, just eat it like this." You come and sit too. ”
Pan Cheng was a spirit, and quickly reacted, the moon fell on a stool opposite her original position, Pan Chen sat down, and Qi Mozhou came face to face, seeing Qi Mozhou bite two mouthfuls of buns one after another, dry look, it didn't seem to be comfortable, his mouth was eating, but his eyes were a little hollow, obviously thinking about things, Pan Chen had no intention of disturbing, but he always felt that after the emperor came back to his senses, he would definitely regret how he ate such a dry thing.
Therefore, when the emperor was about to take the third bite, Pan Chen stopped him, Qi Mozhou raised his eyes to look at her, only to see Pan Chen stand up, take away the bun in Qi Mozhou's hand, and then tear a slit slightly, use unused silver chopsticks to pick a few pieces of minced meat and sauce from the sauce bowl, spread them evenly, and then sandwiched a few slices of cut courgette and handed them to Qi Mozhou.
Qi Mozhou had never seen such a way to eat, and when she saw that she ate like this, she tried to take a bite, and felt that the taste was okay, much better than the dry one, Pan Chen saw that he could accept it, handed him a pair of chopsticks, pointed to the plate of pickled crispy radish in front of him, and said:
"This radish is also delicious, with a lot of honey, you can taste it."
After Li Shun lamented the mallets in the imperial dining room, he suddenly realized that the lady in front of him was also a mallet, and actually called the emperor 'you' directly, Li Shun sat and waited for the emperor to blow up his hair, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see any action from the emperor, but listened to the words of the mallet Niangniang, and picked up a dish that had never appeared in the imperial diet - pickled crispy radish.
