A turmoil finally forced out the crown prince, and Emperor Zhengyuan was quite satisfied with the result.

The tricky thing is how to deal with the Thirteen Princes.

He was reluctant to give up this son.

However, the prince will definitely not let this younger brother go.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengyuan was angry with the cuckoo, and she didn't let go of it!

Therefore, he refused to let her go.

The cuckoo was in the middle of it, and he was very happy.

She has been learning the rules from Mama Hua for a few months, and the results are obvious, so she got up and demonstrated them to several elders one by one.

Emperor Zhengyuan was puzzled: this granddaughter behaved and spoke very decently, and what was even more rare was that she was respectful but natural in front of the elders who gathered the emperor's prestige, and she had a pure and natural temperament more than the women in the palace, and she was really a fairy-like character.

How could such a person do something like chasing and killing Hu Jian on the street?

How can you sit on the roof of Uncle Thirteen for a day and a night?

I'm crying and I'm going to kill myself!

Cuckoo never learns things rigidly, she integrates what she has learned into her usual words and deeds, sitting, lying and walking all the time, even walking on the mountains is more elegant than usual.

She offered to make anchovy tea for her elders.

Personally use the charcoal stove to boil water, dial the charcoal fire, rinse the tea set, carry the pot to make tea, and offer tea one by one, all the actions are like flowing clouds and water, elegant and neat.

Presented the tea cup to Emperor Zhengyuan, and shouted with a smile, "Grandpa!" ”

The bright eyes are shining with sparkling, and the word "grandpa" is very smooth, adding a layer of homely intimacy and considerate filial piety in addition to the respectful rules, which makes people feel excited.

Emperor Zhengyuan couldn't find fault with it, took the teacup and lowered his head to drink tea.

The queen took a sip. immediately said to the emperor: "It's still a delicious cuckoo." ”

Emperor Zhengyuan snorted and said, "She serves this thing all day long." And no surprise! ”

The cuckoo nodded and said, "Grandpa is right, practice makes perfect." Every time my granddaughter picks tea and comes back, she fries it. It is necessary to brew and taste it in person, distinguish the taste of tea grown at different heights and directions, as well as the heat and weight of the stir-frying, so as to improve it next time. ”

She said naturally, but the three were silent.

Especially the prince, looking at his daughter's eyes darkened, and then lowered his eyes.

Emperor Zhengyuan, who has read countless women, has to admit: This granddaughter is too likable! According to his evaluation, from the princess in the palace to the granddaughter of the prince's mansion. None of them can compare to her; He couldn't remember any of his concubines who had such charm.

Although she is outstanding, she does not deceive people by her appearance.

The women in the palace, if they are too charming, will definitely not live long.

The beauty and charm of the county lord of Jing'an can't be hung up, her smile is clean and warm, so that the people around her can't help but be happy and think of the best things in the world.

In this regard, even her mother, the county lord of Yanqing, is even worse.

The lord of Yanqing County is naïve, but it is more because he is ignorant of the world. It is pampered; And the lord of Jing'an grew up in poverty, is intelligent and understanding, supplemented by a frank temperament and a soft and transparent personality, which is really unpleasant.

The old emperor looked at his granddaughter. I found it a little difficult to punish her.

The cuckoo didn't notice anything, turned around and asked Gong Mama: "Mama Cui, are you ready?" ”

She's going to make a late-night snack. In other words, to complete the unfinished cooking competition of Lan Kwai Club.

Mama Cui hurriedly said, "Go back to the county lord." It's all ready. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and greeted the eunuchs, and the palace maids brought in the stoves, iron pots, cutting boards, and ingredients. It is placed at the bottom of the hall near the entrance of the palace.

The cuckoo smiled and approached to look around.

Lan Guihui didn't try her cooking skills, and she was very sorry.

This is her specialty, and she thinks she will come out on top.

Each competition of the Lan Gui Club has its own uniqueness, and it is not in vain.

For example, the cooking test stipulates that within a limited time - usually only half an hour - a delicious meal is made with ordinary ingredients, and the better the taste and quantity. In order to prevent some people from cutting corners, the ingredients used are different from year to year.

Those who want to win with expensive and rare ingredients are out of ideas; Also, during the competition, only one maid is allowed to help light the fire, and the rest of the work is completed by the contestants themselves.

And the nobles who have been trained from this experience are undoubtedly more down-to-earth and less arrogant, and they are more handy in serving their in-laws and husbands after getting married, which is a major reason why Lan Gui will be sought after.

Cuckoo thought, no matter how they exercise, they can still cook more than they cook? Can you compare to her experience?

Therefore, in the end, she was very sorry that she did not participate in the cooking competition because she was not in time.

Now that she can make up for it in front of the emperor, she can't ask for it.

At that moment, she pulled up her water sleeves, wrapped them into arrow sleeves and tightened them, and began to work.

First, take out an old pumpkin and steam it on the fire, and then break the greens to the outside vegetable gang, leaving only the middle cabbage, and break seven or eight in a row.

Emperor Zhengyuan saw it and thought, don't you want any of this?

Such a waste does not meet the requirements of the Langui Competition.

So he made a note of it, thinking that he would find fault with it later.

However, the cuckoo broke it and handed over the cabbage sum to the palace maid to clean along with the cabbage gang and carrots, and she made noodles; When the vegetables are washed, they start chopping the vegetables.

Blanch the spinach and finely chop it into a blue and white porcelain bowl.

Then cut the carrots, greens, and sour bamboo shoots.

Just listen to the dense and uniform sound of "da-da-da", and everyone can see that they are smacking: the bunches of shredded radish are like the silk threads used by the palace maids have been cut and stacked, and the green vegetables are also generally thick and long, and the bamboo shoots are like fine sand.

The emperor was shocked, the crown prince was proud, and the queen rejoiced.

I can't help but think: How many years do you have to practice this knife work?

The queen's eyes turned red, and she approached the emperor and whispered: "It's strange that I have been cooking since I was four years old." ”

The emperor was silent.

Prince Yanwei smiled, and his throat was hot and clogged.

The cuckoo quickly cuts the vegetables and ginger, etc., puts them in separate bowls, and then chops the meat.

There was a dense sound of "da-da-da" again, and the minced meat was chopped.

Then she stirred the charcoal fire herself and scrambled two eggs into a paste. Then stir together with the minced meat, and then add the previously cut spinach and sour bamboo shoots to mix.

Everyone didn't know why she had to make her own fire. Later, I realized that it was because I was afraid that the palace maid would not be able to burn the fire. It's too thin to use raw egg liquid, but it's not good to scramble eggs into lumps when they're old. Only stir-fry it over low heat to form an egg batter and stir it together with minced meat to make it even.

Then come down to roll the dough and wrap the wontons.

The speed at which she rolls the dough is not fast, but the wontons are fast, and the ingots and diamond-shaped wontons are only the size of a finger, delicate as carving, and they are pleasing to the eye in the wooden plate.

In the meantime, she also took the time to watch the steaming pumpkin and told the palace maid to put the charcoal fire down and simmer slowly.

All the work. She almost did it alone.

However, I didn't see her in a hurry, every time she turned around, she was like a fairy, and every movement was elegant and calm. Practice makes perfect, and her skills are perfect, just like "cooking", she interprets this humble cooking skill into an elegant activity like waving a book and painting.

Emperor Zhengyuan, the empress, and Prince Yanwei unconsciously stepped down from their seats and came to the front to watch together.

After the wontons are wrapped, the cuckoo picks up the pumpkin and mashes the pumpkin puree to make a cake.

Add a little honey and shallots in the middle. Then pancakes.

Then roll the choy sum, and prepare some mushrooms in another pot and put them in the center of the choy sum on the plate.

Then stir-fry carrots and green vegetable stalks, accompanied by black fungus, red, black, green and white are picturesque.

At last. She made a clear soup with mushrooms.

Two dishes and one soup plus a dim sum and wontons are freshly cooked.

Look at the hour, it's not yet an hour.

The cuckoo washed his hands, smiled and brought the dishes and wontons to the north kang table in the east second room. Serving Emperor Zhengyuan and others with supper.

Prince Yanwei gulped down and didn't make a sound. Occasionally, the eyes that look at her daughter are as gentle as water, and her face is full of happiness. Said he liked the taste.

Emperor Zhengyuan and the empress also ate and drank silently, and did not speak for the time being.

But Emperor Zhengyuan finished eating a bowl and handed the bowl to the cuckoo, signaled to add some more wontons, and waited for it to eat with cabbage very casually, knowing that he was also very satisfied.

The queen smiled, finished eating a bowl, and motioned to the cuckoo to help her add more.

Du Juan was happy, so he heard Emperor Zhengyuan ask: "Are you unhappy rolling dough?" ”

Although the dishes made by the cuckoo cannot be said to be absolutely beautiful - the emperor has never tasted any delicious food in the palace - but it is better to make it with ordinary ingredients, refreshing and delicious, for the emperor who eats it for the first time, the effect of the rice in the other pot is very great, and he has been upset for the past two days, and he has not eaten well, so his appetite is great.

He really couldn't find fault with it, so he had to ask the doubts in his heart.

In his opinion, if it weren't for the cuckoo rolling dough delay, it could have been faster.

The cuckoo was stunned for a moment and explained, "Because there is less rolling." We have a lot of wheat there, and we can't eat a few dumplings and buns a year, and we have more corn and grains. The granddaughter is not just born. ”

Emperor Zhengyuan was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his head and continued to eat wontons.

He felt that he couldn't speak, otherwise he would be stunned when he heard his granddaughter's reply.

Needless to say, the queen and the crown prince were even more upset when they heard this.

The queen praised the cuckoo's good craftsmanship.

The queen's nurse said with a smile: "It's not the flattery of the slave and maid, the county lord's cooking skills, if he participated in the competition that day, it is certain to take the first name." ”

The cuckoo smiled very happily, stood next to the queen, and said sincerely: "If you want to say how good it is, it is the emperor's grandmother's false praise." No matter how good her granddaughter's skills are, can she compare to the imperial chef in the palace? Because the imperial grandfather and the imperial grandmother were accustomed to eating exquisite food, and occasionally tasted the granddaughter's cooking, and it was freshly made and eaten, so they felt novel. This is the aroma of rice in the other pot. ”

Emperor Zhengyuan saw that she was not arrogant and boastful, and couldn't help but glance at her.

The cuckoo noticed it and smiled at him.

Emperor Zhengyuan was uncomfortable, raised the pumpkin pie in his hand and asked, "This pumpkin pie has some honey added?" ”

The cuckoo nodded and said, "Hello! It's not called pumpkin pie, it's called golden cake. ”

I couldn't help but laugh when I said it, and gave the pumpkin cake to the godmother as a favor, so I named it "Golden Cake" for the sake of sounding; Later, the grandparents who gave it to their adoptive father's family didn't pay attention to it because they thought it was their own, so they said it was pumpkin pie, but the grandmother thought that her granddaughter was watching the dishes and fooled her with pumpkin pie, and said that the cake was thrown away as a joke.

Prince Yanwei's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Emperor Zhengyuan looked at the cake in his hand, this was already the third piece he had eaten, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, secretly saying that no wonder the old thing died, the blessing was too thin, and he couldn't stand the filial piety of his granddaughter.

When the cuckoo saw that their faces were wrong, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

She hurriedly said: "People in the countryside are simple-minded, what to say, knife mouth tofu heart." The grandparents of the Huang family are actually loyal people......"

The queen didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, so she hurriedly diverted the conversation and asked the cuckoo about other things.

After eating for a while, the palace maids removed the dishes and made tea.

Emperor Zhengyuan looked at the queen and the prince sitting next to him, as well as the smiling lord of Jing'an, the family was happy, but he always felt that something was wrong.

By the way, he was supposed to teach this girl a lesson tonight.

Why didn't you even say a word of punishment?

"I heard that you opened Lin Chun's dressing box?"

He asked his granddaughter, who was held in the queen's arms.

The cuckoo sat up straight and replied, "Yes." The granddaughter wants to dedicate it to the imperial grandfather tomorrow as a festival for Halloween. ”

Emperor Zhengyuan ordered: "Bring it to me and take a look." (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you very much for the relatives who are willing to vote for pink and reward, and then whisper to ask for a pink. Tomorrow will resume the double watch, and the first watch is still 7 o'clock in the morning.
