Chapter 115. Have mixed feelings
Time flies, and before I know it, it has been two years since I lived in the East Palace, and the crown princess is bored sitting in the pavilion in the back garden. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since King Jin became the crown prince, I don't know if it's because I'm busy, I always feel that there is not as much laughter as before. Is it because the long years in the East Palace make people inevitably depressed?
The autumn breeze blew softly, with a slight chill. Princess Jin sighed and got up to return to the dormitory. But I overheard two palace maids discussing a woman named Mrs. Noise.
She had heard of this woman for a long time. I heard that when the Chen Dynasty fell, he was escorted to Chang'an with his brother Chen Houzhu.
It is said that she has been a palace maid in the palace since she was 14 years old, and now she is twenty-six. It is said that she was born with a beautiful face and a noble and dignified appearance, and no man who has seen her will fall in love with her. Even......
Princess Jin didn't want to believe the rumor that made her care the most, how could King Jin fall in love with anyone but her? Those rumor-mongers are really idle, and they should all be sent to the frontier to fight on the battlefield.
In the late autumn afternoon, the coolness is getting stronger. She tightened her cloak and hurried towards the dormitory.
When I arrived at the dormitory, I was completely sleepy, and I didn't know how to pass the time before dinner.
She was bored for a while, tending to the flowers and plants, looking at the sun overhead, and it was still some time before it set. What the hell should I do?
"Crown Princess, the dinner menu is out, do you want to see if there is anything else you want to eat? I'm going to inform the Imperial Kitchen! Man'er walked gently into the princess's bedroom.
Her expression brightened for a moment, and then slowly dimmed.
Man'er is no longer the Man'er who can do anything with her at the beginning, and they have rarely gotten along like friends over the years. Distant and harmonious, she doesn't want to break the balance because of a moment of loneliness.
"Crown Princess, don't you have something on your mind?" Man'er caught her expression at that moment.
Obviously, the crown princess needs an old friend, and she is not happy at all in this East Palace.
"It's fine." The crown princess took the menu with a blank face.
"It's these again! Why isn't there anything new? She muttered to herself and handed the recipe to Man'er.
Although the menu of the Imperial Kitchen is not the same, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, year after year, these dishes have long been tired of eating. There's nothing new about it.
Man'er herself is already tired of eating. She is better than the crown princess in that she can go to the kitchen by herself, and she can always think of what she wants to eat.
Although sometimes I want the crown princess to taste it, I am afraid that she does not have the same idea as herself. Now that I saw her, I was also tired of this court recipe, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Would you like to try my own cooking? Exclusive to the 21st century. Man'er said with a shy expression, although she was still quite satisfied with her cooking skills, but she didn't dare to guarantee that the crown princess, who was used to eating imperial kitchen skills, would be satisfied.
When the crown princess heard Man'er say this, her mind drifted through the various watercress such as steaks, pasta, hamburgers, and grilled chicken thighs.
Although the surface is still light, saliva has gushed out in the mouth and dare not swallow. Years of court life have made her accustomed to hiding her emotions, "Then try it!" ”
Man'er heard that Princess Jin agreed, and turned around and rushed to the kitchen.
The loneliest person in these years is Man'er, if it weren't for her youngest son Yang Hao, I don't know what it would be like to be lonely now. Rao has Yang Hao, she still needs a friend, and she needs the forgiveness and companionship of her old friend Le Yi.
This is her chance. She excitedly ran to the imperial kitchen and rolled up her sleeves to make it.
When she first came to the kitchen, she was also at a loss, and the things she made were always far from what she imagined. Helplessly, she misses what she ate when she was a child, and she mustered up the courage to come to the kitchen countless times, and I don't know when she started to make things that have become exactly like what she imagined. Even Xiao Yang Hao was full of praise after eating it.
Soon, Princess Jin waited for her dinner.
Looking at Man'er's plate of food on the table, she swallowed. It looked perfect, and she didn't know what it tasted like, she muttered to herself.
The delicate blue and white porcelain bowl holds a milky white soup with a milky aroma. The crown princess gently scooped up a small spoonful and put it in her mouth, and the silky and rich fragrance suddenly spread to the whole body in her mouth, creamy mushroom soup. The taste she had missed for a long time.
Eating a bowl unconsciously, he looked up and saw Man'er's smug smile. She didn't know what to say.
Before she could think of what to say, another dish came up. It turned out to be the steak she'd been thinking about day and night lately!
The steak on the table was full of aroma, cutting the brown exterior to reveal the delicious pink gravy, the princess cut a piece and ate it in her mouth, slowly savoring the aftertaste, as delicate as silk in her memory, full as oil. There was a look of surprise on his face.
I don't know where Man'er got these tableware, but it really pays off.
Seeing the long-lost smile on the crown princess's face, Man'er felt a sense of accomplishment. Confidently handed over the last dish she had prepared.
The golden fries were placed in front of her, and Princess Jin was a little flattered. As much as she missed it, she hadn't thought she would be late for it here.
Maybe it's the power of food, looking at Man'er, who was standing on the side and watching her feast, the princess suddenly remembered the time when they used to eat French fries together, "Man'er sit down and eat together!" ”
Man'er's eyes widened, and she wasn't sure for a long time if she had misheard.
"Sit down and eat together!" The crown princess repeated it again. The smile is as warm as the spring equinox.
The moment Man'er sat down, tears fell to the ground, and the sound was heard.
Their friendship had been repaired for nearly a decade on this boring evening in late autumn.
Just as they were toasting their friendship, a palace maid ran in in a panic, "Oh no! ”
The crown princess frowned, "What's so flustered?" ”
Before the maid could speak, she burst into tears, which really frightened the princess. Shen Sheng asked again, "What is the matter?" ”
"The Emperor...... The queen collapsed! The maid couldn't stop crying.
This palace maid, like countless people, loves the queen as her own mother. At this time, the pain was not faked, and he cried until he fainted.
The crown princess slumped in her chair, and the queen treated her like her own daughter. In this shrine, there is no one else to talk about the past and the present except her, and now she has gone like this.
