Chapter 83
Pan Chen's syrup is ready-made, it only needs to be processed and cooled a little, and the mints can be ready, and the next morning, he took three boxes of candied syrup and a few sweet pastries to the Taihe Palace.
Fu Ning was on duty today, after seeing Pan Chen, he stepped forward to salute, in the past, Pan Chen was Zhaoyi, Fu Ning's grade was higher than Pan Chen, so he was exempted from the number of courtesies, and now that Pan Chen is rising, he naturally wants to come forward to salute, Pan Chen hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, and said briskly:
"Commander Fu doesn't need to be polite."
Fu Ning had a very good impression of Pan Chen, nodded and smiled at her, Li Shun walked out of the hall and greeted Pan Chen: "Niangniang, the emperor invites you in." â
Pan Chen asked Xin Dong to hand over a few food boxes in his hand to Li Shun, Xin Dong had a lot of strength in his hands, and he didn't feel hard to carry several food boxes, and when he handed them to Li Shun, Li Shun couldn't take them away at once, Fu Ning glanced at Xin Dong, who was quite tall, and specially asked two guards to help Li Shun take the food boxes together. Then he said to Xin Dong:
"The little girl has a lot of strength."
Xin Dong was a little dumbfounded, looked up at Fu Ning, who was tall and tall, Pan Chen heard Fu Ning speak, and was just about to cross the threshold, so he stopped and looked back at Xin Dong, and saw that Xin Dong happened to be looking at her too, Pan Chen said with a smile:
"Xin Dong, what does Commander Fu ask you for, don't be restrained, just listen to your orders."
Xin Dong is a real character, different from the flexibility of Yueluo and Qiu Ping, if Pan Chen didn't know, she might really be like a wood and wouldn't communicate with the outside world.
With Pan Chen's instructions, Xin Dong raised his eyes and looked at Fu Ning, who was staring at her with interest.
After Pan Chen explained, he stepped into the threshold of the Taihe Hall with his skirt, Li Shun led the way in front, and the two guards first took the food box brought by Pan Chen...... Little chubby balls.
That tall, thin and elegant young man should be King Su Qifang, that is, the son of the Queen Mother Yan, Pan Chen's impression of him instantly cast a shadow on the Yan family, plus this King Su looks polite and polite, according to such a character development, echoing the family education of the Yan family, this King Su is not unexpected, it should be a mother's treasure man.
After Pan Chen entered the door, he saluted Qi Mozhou, Qi Mozhou glanced at her from behind the dragon case, put down the file he was reading, pointed to Qi Fang, and introduced Pan Chen: "This is King Su, and that is the Fifth Prince." â
Without waiting for Pan Chen to act, Qi Fang took the initiative to come forward to say hello, and his expression was just like that of Jia Rui to Wang Xifeng, which made people's scalps tingle: "I heard that there is a peerless beauty by the emperor's side, and I can see it today, and it really deserves its reputation." â
Pan Chen listened to these superficial praises that could no longer be superficial, a little embarrassed, glanced at Qi Mozhou, and found that he didn't seem to hear it, completely regarded himself as an introducer, and looked at the file and drank tea, as if he only needed to introduce the two sides to each other, he would develop freely, I have to say, my heart is really big!
Since Qi Mozhou ignored it, Pan Chen had nothing to be polite about, raised a bright smile at Qi Fang, and said in a delicate and shy voice: "Where is it, His Royal Highness King Su has won the award, and the concubines are just a little neater than ordinary people, where is the peerless beauty." â
Su Wang: ...... Without understanding Pan Chen's straightforwardness, King Su was instantly stunned.
"Ahem."
Qi Mozhou seemed to be a little choked when he drank water, Li Shun hurriedly sent a handkerchief to wipe him, put down the file and teacup, and while wiping, he raised his eyes to look at Pan Chen, and exhaled helplessly to the side, and then stood up from behind the dragon case, came to King Su and Pan Chen, who was holding his face and looking shy, and said to King Su:
"This is Concubine De."
King Su nodded dumbfounded: "Oh, oh! Yes, yes. â
After bowing to Pan Chen, King Su's eyes began to be suspicious, when he was in the fief, he heard that the emperor favored a concubine, according to King Su's understanding of the emperor, the woman who can make the emperor like should be an extremely smart woman, and I have heard of this from the secret report given to him by the Queen Mother, but now it seems that how do you feel...... It's not like that......
"Third brother, what are you doing in a daze, this adulterous concubine was rude to me yesterday." Little Fat Ball held a piece of white sugar cake in his mouth and said inarticulately. The appearance of a dwarf winter melon is funny to say.
King Su and Qi Mozhou were speechless for a while, but Pan Chen didn't react in particular, and said bluntly:
"The concubine didn't disrespect His Highness, she just saw that His Highness was well-behaved and cute, and her fleshy face was soft, and she liked it in her heart."
For this shameless adulterous concubine, blatantly saying that she likes herself, the little fat ball's face turned red all of a sudden, snorted, twisted her ass and climbed onto the Taishi chair, the two little fat feet swayed, and gave two pieces of white sugar cake to the entrance as if venting her anger.
King Su was also wondering in his heart, not understanding why such a woman would make the queen mother uneasy.
Gan Xiang and Master Li walked out of the inner hall, holding two stacks of paper in their hands, and handed them to Qi Mozhou, Qi Mozhou pointed to the food box on the side, and said to Gan Xiang: "I saw that Gan Xiang loved to eat the kind of sugar made by Concubine De last time, so I asked Concubine De to make a few more boxes for Gan Xiang, and when Gan Xiang goes back later, don't forget to take them away." â
Gan Xiang's eyes lit up, looked at Pan Chen, and hurriedly thanked him: "Emperor Xie is worried about it, there is Concubine Laude." â
It can be seen that he really likes it, after thanking Pan Chen and Qi Mozhou, he walked over to the food boxes pointed by Li Shun, although the little fat ball was bold and dared to choke Pan Chen, but he still respected Gan Xiang very much, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly jumped down from the Taishi chair, wiped his hand on his waist, and saluted Gan Xiang in a strange way, and shouted: Teacher.
Gan raised his hand to him, and accepted the gift of the little fat ball, Li Shun opened one of the food boxes for Gan Xiang, and there were really a few ceramic square boxes inside, this kind of square box was specially customized by Pan Chen and the Inner Ting Division, specially used to put the sugar she made, this time the sugar was different from the first time, the first time she didn't have much experience, the sugar cake was not wrapped in a thin layer of rice milk, the second time she had experience, the sugar cake was wrapped in a layer of rice pulp paper that seemed transparent, but there were actual things stored in zĂ i, and the sugar starch was wrapped in rice pulp paper one by one. Looking at the amber halo in the orange and yellow, Gan Xiang picked up a box and looked at it in front of him, as if with a kind of awe of beautiful things, as if what he was holding in his hand at the moment was not an ordinary box of candied cakes, but a box of peerless treasures that he had longed for for a long time.
"The minister eats countless sugars, but I don't know that Niangniang still has such a craft, which is really breathtaking, breathtaking."
Gan Xiang took a box and praised Pan Chen like this.
Pan Chen was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Gan Xiang is too complimentary, I'm embarrassed." It's just a very ordinary mint, and there's really nothing to praise about. In addition to mint candy, this time I also made a box of watermelon candy by the way, the watermelons in my field have a particularly good harvest this year, and some of them can't be eaten, so I simply use them to make boiled sugar, and Ganxiang can try to eat them. â
Gan Xiang listened to Pan Chen's words, and his eyes lit up again: "Oh? Did the lady make a new breed again? â
couldn't wait to walk to the food box, Lord Li saw that Gan Xiang was so interested, and also leaned over and asked: "Can you give the old minister a taste too, is the sugar syrup made by Concubine De really so delicious?" â
Gan Xiang and Lord Li are frequent visitors to the Taihe Palace, they have lived together in the army in the past, and they have never been too restrained, Gan Xiang glanced down at the sugar box in his hand, hesitated for a moment, handed it to Lord Li, and said: "Lao Li, you also taste it, give it to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Su and His Royal Highness the Fifth also taste, not that I brag, this kind of sugar made by Concubine De Niangniang is much more delicious than what is sold on the market, although it looks hard, but after the entrance, it has its own softness, as well as milky fragrance, mint fragrance, etc., in short, the taste is excellent." â
Lord Li listened to Gan Xiang's strong recommendation, took the porcelain box and looked at it for a few steps, and handed it to Qi Mozhou, Qi Mozhou doesn't like sweets, so he waved his hand and said no, and then pointed in the direction of King Su, Lord Li took the sugar box to King Su again, the corners of King Su's mouth twitched slightly, it seemed that there was an embarrassment of going to the wrong set, and it was like a market in the palace.
However, looking at the orange-yellow sugar syrup in the porcelain box, King Su still decided to give the emperor face and try a piece of it.
Seeing that he was about to peel off the rice pulp paper on the surface of the sugar syrup, Pan Chen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Highness, you don't need to peel it, this is rice milk, you can eat it." â
King Su glanced at her, he didn't expect her to be so enthusiastic and active, and after seeing that Master Li handed the sugar to His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness two pieces, he just sent the sugar into his mouth, and King Su did the same, and tried to put the sugar in his hand into his mouth.
"Well, that's good! It has a melt-in-your-mouth taste, but it doesn't melt too quickly, and the best thing is that it has a milky taste! The sweetness of the sugar is also more pure, and Gan Xiang is right, it is really much better than the ones sold on the market that are harder than stones. â
Gan Xiang found the watermelon candy that Pan Chen said from the food box, and it was a piece of red in his eyes, and after opening the lid, it was a pungent watermelon flavor, which was particularly fragrant, although Gan Xiang was reluctant, but he thought that it was better to be happy alone than to be happy, and after taking a piece himself, he took it to Lord Li, King Su and Little Fat Ball.
King Su ate the sugar syrup made by Pan Chen in his mouth, and saw Gan Xiang's respect for Pan Chen, and wondered in his heart, could it be that this Concubine De's talent is to make sugar? Because he can make sugar, in a year, he soared directly from Zhaoyi to become a concubine, relying on these sugars? If that's the case, it's incredible, how can you say it? Uh, the line is the champion?
The others didn't know what His Royal Highness King Su was thinking in his head, but after Master Li ate two pieces of candy, his mind turned faster, and he suddenly said whimsically:
"Oh, if you can teach this craft and open a candy shop, the business will definitely be very good."
Master Li's mention made Pan Chen laugh along, thinking he was joking, and nodded his head: "That's good, there are more people who love sweets in this world, and if you can do a good job in this piece, it will be a fairly large market." â
