With the New Year approaching, the six bureaus of the Shanggong rushed to make the items needed for the New Year, and the somewhat lifeless court in the past also became vivid because of this busyness.

The queen was busy with the New Year's festival and had no time to deal with the people in the harem, so she let the people who asked for peace disperse early every day. Even so, everyone in the harem has no time to spare, everyone knows that there must be a banquet in the palace during the New Year, so there will be an opportunity to face the saint, and everyone naturally bothered to buy clothes and jewelry to wear, and they are all very busy.

Emperor Shen Nuosheng is even busier, and now it is the time for officials to return to Beijing to report on their work, and the personnel arrangements and financial arrangements for the coming year are also pressed at the end of the year. Shen Nuosheng was busy with government affairs, most of the time he rested in the Qianzheng Palace, and the few times he came to the harem mostly went to Concubine Shu and Yao Zhaoyi, and the harem seemed to have returned to the previous pattern, with the aura of Concubine Shu and Yao Zhaoyi, few people noticed that during these times, Jiang Suoyue had quietly occupied a place, although it was not as good as those two, but among the other harem concubines, it was already regarded as a graceful one.

On this day, someone from Qianzheng Palace sent a decree to let Ting Zhuxuan Jiang Concubine take charge of the lamp, and Jiang Suoyue instructed Pearl and Coral to go to the dining room to make some snacks. She didn't have enough space to set up a small kitchen in her palace, so she had to let the pearls go to the dining room with the recipe she had written.

To say that this is a dim sum, she is naturally not as good as the dim sum master in the dining room, nor as good as the Wen Guiren who lives next to her, but her dim sum is more novel, it is made according to the modern method of making steamed cakes, soft and not greasy, and the busy and tired emperor should be very comfortable to use.

At dinner time, Pearl and Coral came back with the finished dim sum, a plate of original flavor, a plate of matcha, and a plate of fruit pulp, all cut into boxy pieces and stacked on the plate, which looked very delicious.

Jiang Suoyue tasted some and praised: "You two are really ingenious, I just said that, and I really did it, and it tasted really good." ”

Coral showed a mischievous look of pride on his face, and said: "That's not it, the slave maid told Sister Pearl on the way, the little master will like it, but unfortunately we don't have a small kitchen in the palace, otherwise the slave maid will make it for the little master to eat every day." ”

Pearl poked her forehead and smiled, "Just you ghost." Don't say it, little master, corals really have some ability to make food. ”

Coral also smiled, and said a little mysteriously: "But ah, according to the emperor's favor to our little master, I'm afraid it won't be long before we can have our own small kitchen." ”

"You can't go out and talk nonsense." Pearl Zhengse said, and sighed again: "However, if only we really had a small kitchen, we can also stew some soup for the little master, and the most important thing is that we don't have to worry about people doing things in the food all day long." ”

Jiang Suoyue tasted another piece of dim sum and said, "Take your time, there will always be something that should be there, think about what we had in the past, it's pretty good now." But the more this is the case, the more cautious you must be, stand high and fall hard. ”

Both of them nodded, and Pearl said again: "Little master, let's use less snacks, it's about to start, this time I'll be full, and I won't be able to eat anymore." ”

Jiang Suoyue smiled and quipped: "Yes, yes, yes-Sango, look at the appearance of your little housekeeper Sister Pearl, I don't know who will dare to marry her home in the future and ask her to take care of her." ”

Coral grinned at the pearl and made the pearl blush. Pearl stomped her foot and said shamefully, "Little master—"

"Okay, okay, don't make trouble, the emperor shouldn't come to eat this time, let's set the meal."

Pearl hurriedly instructed the palace maids to set up a meal, and served Jiang Suoyue without mentioning it.

Shen Nuosheng really came in the night, as soon as he appeared, his face was a little tired, a cold and strong person like him was tired, and he was very tired and tired when he thought about coming to the previous dynasty.

Jiang Suoyue knew it in her heart, silently took the tea cup handed by Amber and placed it in front of Shen Nuosheng, and then took out the snacks prepared in the afternoon and put it on the table, saying, "The emperor has been working hard for days and nights, and he must be very tired. The concubine made some refreshing snacks today, and the emperor might as well use some. ”

Shen Nuosheng nodded, thinking about the political affairs of the previous dynasty. There is no shortage of harem concubines who make some food to please him, and he is used to seeing it, when he is in a good mood, he uses some of his heart, and when he is in a bad mood, he always ignores it.

He didn't expect much from this snack, but he did have a little love for Jiang Suoyue, and he was indeed a little hungry, so he took a piece and tasted it, but he didn't expect the entrance to be soft and not greasy, so he couldn't help but use a few more pieces.

Jiang Suoyue stared at him quietly with her hand on the side, with affection in her eyes and a little joy on her face.

Shen Nuosheng took the handkerchief handed by Gao Jingzhong and wiped his hands, and saw that Jiang Suoyue had been looking at him, so he said, "Why do you keep looking at me?" Is there anything on my face? ”

Jiang Suoyue's face showed a little embarrassment, as if the girl Huaichun's heart was peeped through, and said: "The concubine is very happy to see that the emperor is eating well. ”

Shen Nuosheng praised: "This snack is really good, soft and soft, and not greasy, why haven't I seen the dining room in the past." ”

The concubine thought that the emperor had been busy with everything recently, and thought that she was impatient to use those greasy things, so she thought of a recipe for the palace maids to make. Your Majesty, do you really like it? Jiang Suoyue's face showed a bit of surprise, as if she was afraid that the emperor was lying to comfort her.

Shen Nuosheng saw that she cared about herself so much, realized her own intentions and made this snack, and did not bother to ask for credit in front of her eyes, as if everything she did was not important, whether he liked it or not was the most important thing. When a woman treats him like this, he is inevitably a little moved in his heart.

Looking at her delicate and delicate face close in front of her, with a bit of girlish coquettishness on her face, she showed a little warmth under the candlelight, and a pair of big watery eyes looked at herself like that, as if he was the most precious treasure in the world that she cared about the most, Shen Nuosheng's heart suddenly flowed through a warm current, ironing all over the body.

This little woman may not be the most beautiful in the harem, not the smartest in the harem, or the most talented, but for some reason it always makes him feel comfortable.

Shen Nuosheng only felt that the fatigue of the past few days seemed to be relieved, so he said, "It's not early, let's settle down." ”

The two of them were served by the palace people to freshen up properly, and not long after they fell asleep, there was a commotion outside, as if there was some kind of dispute.

Jiang Suoyue faintly heard a woman's voice saying words like "Emperor", "Unwell", "Little Master", and heard Gao Jingzhong's voice saying "The Emperor has rested".

Jiang Suoyue was hesitating to call someone in to ask, when she heard Shen Nuosheng say unhappily: "Someone-"

After a while, Gao Jingzhong's voice sounded outside the door: "What does the emperor command?" ”

"What do you command? Didn't you see that I was already asleep, who was so bold as to dare to make a noise outside! ”
