"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

Liu Shuxing gritted her teeth when she said these words, and anyone with a discerning eye could hear the unwillingness and resentment in her words. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's no wonder that she is obviously the only concubine in the harem, and the queen mother is her own aunt, and she is the queen mother's aunt who can just make herself go to the next level in the harem. But this aunt turned her elbow outward, and she didn't help outsiders without helping herself, and even let herself kneel for most of the time at the birthday banquet of the opposite queen, in front of the concubines who could be crushed to death with a small finger on weekdays! I also took the opportunity to elevate a little Fanghua who dared to confront himself in front of him and ridicule his father and brother! Originally, a little Fanghua came down and did it silently, but the Queen Mother was raised to become a noble concubine, and she was a member of the Qin family! If something happens to her, she will suspect herself!

The concubines below had their eyes fluttering, and they all went to look at the expressions of the Queen Mother and Liu Shuxing, and the good thing, and wanted to explore the expressions of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty.

"I got a bottle of graupel cream the day before yesterday, it relaxes the muscles and invigorates the blood, you come to me when you come down, don't hurt your knees."

Shen Zhan saw Liu Shuxing get up and made up this sentence in time.

As soon as this sentence came out, the concubines who had a little contempt for Liu Guifei immediately stood up again, His Majesty still spoiled the concubine, it can be seen that in a short period of time, the concubine will not lose power. The concubines couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but for a moment, they cheered up again to look at the "game" of the superiors.

"Concubine Thank Your Majesty!"

Concubine Liu's mood was really much better, and her tone was a little lighter.

The Queen Mother curled her lips to look at the interaction between Shen Zhan and Liu Shuxing, and an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes, "Okay, I've been sitting here for a long time, I've been hungry for a long time, I said Mi'er, when is the banquet going on!" ”

Song Mi'er smiled coquettishly, "The queen mother said that there will be a banquet, let's have a banquet now!" ”

After saying that, he clapped his hands gently, and the palace people who were already waiting outside rushed in, holding the hot dishes that had just been taken out of the mobile heater, and copied in from behind the seats of the concubines without squinting and straightening their backs, and their skills were neat.

As soon as the Queen Mother said that, Shen Zhan also realized that he wanted to sell Liu Shuxing a favor, but after all, this was at the queen's birthday banquet, he cared too much about others, and he didn't give the queen face, so he was careless for a while and didn't notice this level.

Shen Zhan looked at Song Mi'er with a guilty face, only to see her smiling at the palace people holding the food, and she didn't look at herself. Shen Zhan's face was hot: Finally broke the ice, is this going to be a cold war again? I can't help but have a headache again, other concubines are afraid that they will be unhappy, so they will kneel down and plead guilty if they hold themselves happy in different ways, and they will breathe a little heavier. Liu Shuxing is not so afraid of himself, after all, in addition to the relationship between the emperor and concubines, they still have a tacit understanding of allies with each other, but no matter how bold they are, they still respect the gift of the emperor and the concubines, and dare not cross the line. Only the little fox of the Song family, who is really not afraid of heaven and earth, dares to shake his face at every turn, he doesn't go to Xuande Palace, and he doesn't see anything lost in her. I really don't know if she is fighting against the power of the Song family, or relying on her childhood relationship.

Shen Zhan's heart was turbulent, he thought about it for a long time, and settled down, but he heard the Queen Mother praising the dishes of the birthday banquet, and Song Mier, who was on his left, was also unceremoniously, bluntly saying that he loved to eat the most, so he naturally studied this food a little more, and the dishes should not only be exquisite, but also delicious. He also talked about a lot of tricks on how to distinguish whether a dish is good or not, and the Queen Mother listened attentively. The concubines below couldn't listen completely, they were all so anxious that they scratched their hearts and lungs, and thought that the queen mother was exchanging maintenance secrets, could it be that they were discussing their own concubines sitting below? I can't wait for my ears to protrude three feet long, so that it sounds good.

And the Qin Guifei who should have sat down below, but sat next to the Queen Mother, Xu heard the content of the conversation, and did not look anxious at all, just sat quietly on the side, watching the Queen with a smile to describe the beautiful food, and after the Queen Mother had less dishes in the bowl, she used chopsticks to pick up some food for the Queen Mother from time to time. And every time I clamp it, it is the queen mother's favorite food, and the smile of my mother is even deeper.

From the time the Queen Mother asked Qin Shuya to sit in front of her for a long time, Dexiu instructed Yun Cong to move a small table for Qin Shuya, and put it on the countertop, and when the food was served, Qin Shuya also sat down calmly and ate.

Shen Zhan's eyes flashed with a little interest, and he felt that the beings under this hall were quite funny, and he didn't know who was the one who watched the drama and who was the actor who was acting. He looked at Song Mi'er who was eating happily like a little mouse, his heart softened, and he was about to speak, but he smelled a strong aroma.

The concubines were also attracted by this fragrance, and they all stopped at the chopsticks to watch.

This is not the fragrance of fat powder on a woman's body, nor is it the fragrance of exotic flowers and plants.

First, there is a trace of the fragrance of shallots fried in chili oil until half-cooked, and then there is a smell of fennel, star anise and other spices, the spices are not heavy, it can be said that it is just right, if there is nothing, just smell to find out but disappear between the nose, the flavor of spices immediately turned into a thick pork bone soup wrapped in spicy taste.

Although they had eaten a lot of food, when they smelled this smell, the concubines still swallowed their saliva involuntarily and looked in the direction where the taste came from.

It turned out that Yu Lan of Xuande Palace led a group of palace maids in, Yu Lan was in front of a trolley, and there was a large basin with a wide mouth and deep body on the cart, and there was a copper plate under the basin, and the pebbles were placed three times around the bottom of the big basin on the plate, and the pebbles were still steaming, and some of them were red and had not yet dispersed, apparently they had just been roasted and boiled over a high fire.

The pebbles surrounded the basin and were still steaming, and the basin was still boiling.

The rich fragrance just now emanates from this pot.

It was a pot of noodles.

The green onion was scattered on the top, and the hot chili oil was poured on top of the green onion, and the pebbles were boiling at the bottom.

Jiang Yuexi's eyes widened, and she couldn't wait to pounce on it and smell it.

"...... this?" The Queen Mother was also quite interested. "Shou noodles?"

"Yes, the queen mother," Song Mier squinted and smiled like a kitten, "Don't you have to eat longevity noodles on your birthday, the concubine thinks that eating alone is not enjoyable, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, of course it is interesting for everyone to share and eat, isn't it?" ”

"It's better to be happy alone than to be happy!" Shen Zhan finally found a place for himself to interject, "Zitong's method is very agreeable, and I will follow this method in the future, so that I can share the joy and get this joy together, and it is even desirable!" ”

"Then what are you waiting for, come and eat it quickly!"

The Queen Mother also smiled, "Hurry up, don't wait for the noodles to dissolve!" ”

The palace maids claimed "yes", and took out a clean porcelain bowl from the small table next to the cart, and used long chopsticks to pick out a bowl of hot noodles for the concubines.

"It's a novelty." Yuan Wanyou sniffed and swallowed his saliva under his head, "Who hasn't eaten Shou noodles, but on the day of Bengong's birthday, I hid in my bedroom at night and ate a small bowl of noodles, this is the first time I have eaten a pot of noodles with so many people, it smells so fragrant, but not only the queen mother found the cook from, but none of the dishes made at one time are not delicious." ”

Song Mier's bowl was the largest, and she saw that her palace maid took three small cups to her alone, and I saw that she scooped a big spoonful to the right, which was actually red chili pepper and chili oil, and scooped it to the middle, but it was sweet sugarcane sugar water, and picked up the small cup on the far left, pointed at her bowl and slowly poured down, and a sour smell immediately appeared in the hall, which was vinegar.

I saw that Song Mier mixed his bowl of noodles in three or two clicks, neutralizing the vinegar and sweetness, and there were pork bones and spicier chili oil to improve, and it smelled more fragrant.

"Exclusive secret vinegar and chili oil, cane sugar water provided by the imperial dining room, this palace likes how spicy and sweet it is, if you want to ask the palace maid to take it, you're welcome."

As soon as Song Mier moved his chopsticks, everyone followed suit. There are those who are greedy, and they also called sweet and sour sea peppers according to the queen's appearance, and some of them are not spicy, and they took a bite with a frown, but found that it was not as spicy as they imagined, so they accepted it calmly. There are also concubines like Zhuang, who didn't dare to speak late, and only symbolically moved the chopsticks, for fear of being poisonous, and even like Jiang Yuexi and Yuan Wanyou, who didn't eat enough to wipe their mouths and shouted for another bowl. Even if she is like Liu Guifei, she was attracted by the fragrance and used two more chopsticks than before.

In general, the atmosphere in the hall has improved again, and a small bowl of noodles has shortened the distance between everyone. In the past, when the aroma of food never overshadowed the aroma of spices and fat powder, most of the concubines paid attention to not wanting food that tasted too big when they ate in their own bedrooms.

Today is the first time, with His Majesty, eating this hot pasta, my stomach is warm, and I feel my heart is also warm. For the first time, the exquisite concubines felt that the aroma of this food was so good and satisfying.

"I originally said that I would ask Zitong for two taels of longevity noodles to eat in a while, so that I could get into Zitong's joy, but I didn't want Mier to be so thoughtful, so I actually considered everyone."

Shen Zhan picked up a chopstick shou noodle, sniffed it gently, and said with a smile at Song Mier.

"Where is the concubine thoughtful, I just like this mouthful, and I want everyone to share it together, but it's just for the concubine's little whisper, which should not be praised by Your Majesty."

Song Mier asked Yu Lan to pick a bowl of noodles and scooped a large spoonful of chili peppers into it.

"Eat so spicy, don't complain about stomach aches later." Seeing Song Mi'er scooping spoonful after spoonful of chili peppers into the noodle bowl, Shen Zhan couldn't help frowning.

Song Mi'er rolled his eyes at Shen Zhan: "Your Majesty has eaten so many meals with me, don't you know that what I can eat the most is not vinegar but spicy?" ”

Shen Zhan was choked by Song Mier's white eyes, and his heart was blocked, but he heard Song Mier's half-sarcastic and half-self-deprecating words, knowing that she was talking about the incident they quarreled with a few days ago, he couldn't help blushing a little, but being able to mention this matter proved that Mi'er was no longer angry with himself, and a wave of joy actually appeared in his heart, Shen Zhan was stunned, and he didn't understand why that joy came, but he heard Song Mier speak, and he couldn't help but listen intently.

Song Mier was talking to Qin Shuya: "Shuya, you eat more, this palace sees that you have been serving your mother, and you haven't moved your chopsticks much, this palace remembers that your taste is sour and sweet, and you have specially made a lot of dishes that suit your taste, if the noodles are too spicy, you will symbolically eat two bites, ask for a sign, and eat more other dishes!" ”

Song Mier actually didn't care whether the Queen Mother liked Qin Shuya again and didn't like herself, probably because she had a deep relationship with the Queen Mother since she was a child, and she was sure that the Queen Mother would not dislike herself, Qin Shuya had a good relationship with herself, just like the close friends she brought could be liked by her own parents, she would only feel that her ancestors had a good heart and a good vision, but she had no other emotions.

As for whether Shen Zhan will be attracted to Qin Shuya because of this, why, without Qin Shuya, there will be no one else? Looking at the eyes of the concubines looking at each other, Song Mier said: It's better to eat more noodles to suppress the shock.

Qin Shuya put down his chopsticks and smiled extensively, "I don't mean to be polite to my mother, just now that Shu Ya has eaten a lot of cold dishes at the bottom, and he only came up when he was half full, so it was good to use a little." However, Shu Ya and Niangniang have a lot of time to eat, and Shu Ya is not in a hurry at this time. In the past, I ate spicy food with my mother, but now this little spicy is no longer difficult for Shu Ya, and you can put two more spoonfuls! ”

Qin Shuya and Song Mier talk on weekdays, they both love "you, me", mainly because Song Mier doesn't care about these, and feels that "concubine" and "concubine" sound awkward, Yuan Wanyou is originally a person of temperament, and he will not be polite to Song Mier at all, and Qin Shuya has the unique arrogance of the Qin family, and he is in the same breath as the Song family where Song Mier is located, Song Mier will not care whether Qin Shuya says "me" or "concubine", Song Mier feels that if others respect you and respect you, they will call your name and love, if they despise you and hate you, Even if you respectfully call your master and call yourself a slave, you hate it, and the feelings in your heart will not change because of the title. Authority is not only reflected in the title, but also in one's own words and deeds, one's own way of commanding.

However, this is all a private matter, and Song Mier, Yuan Wanyou and others must maintain etiquette in the face, otherwise they will be seized and attacked. Moreover, so far, among the good concubines, only Qin Shuya and Yuan Wanyou dare not be humbled because of their family background and their friendship. Jiang Yuexi couldn't even open his mouth, a person who was lively and agile in the past, when he encountered such a time, he directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.
