The palace maid led the two of them around the snow-covered garden, bypassed the magnificent and atmospheric palace, and came to a small gate on the side of the Fengzao Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was a palace maid waiting there by the door in the morning, and when she saw the two of them, she hurriedly led them to the warm room on the side.

Caixia stood by the door, picked her eyes to look, saw the two of them, hurriedly greeted them, affectionately grabbed Shi Lan's somewhat cold hands, warmed her hands, and brought the two to the house.

After taking off the heavy cloak and inviting a seat, Caixia came over with two hot teas and said softly: "Niangniang is presiding over the palace banquet in front, if the two ladies are hungry, you can use some refreshments first." ”

The new fruit bowl and delicate pastries had been prepared on the table, and the faint fruity aroma was mixed with the sweet taste, and Shi Lan, who had not eaten much in the morning, was a little hungry.

What Caixia did was to serve people, and when she saw Shi Lan glancing at the pastry, she immediately sandwiched a piece of the steamed sweet and soft date cake, put it on a plate, and handed it to Shi Lan.

Shi Lan smiled at Caixia and thanked him.

Caixia smiled, turned her head and clamped a piece of Pan Jinxuan.

The hot tea on the table was steaming, Caixia was worried that her mouth would be dry for a while, so she half-lifted the lid of the cup so that it wouldn't be hot when she drank it later, and then peeled a golden tangerine, peeled off the white silk inside, and put it in front of Shi Lan.

Pan Jinxuan took a small bite of the pastry, her big eyes watched Caixia busy with work, and a thought flashed in her mind.

Shi Lan ignored these, after eating the date cake, ate two pieces of lotus seed and lily cake, drank two sips of tea, and raised his hand to grab the red bean green cake again.

Caixia hurriedly stopped when she saw it, and said, "Good lady, you can't eat it anymore, otherwise you won't be able to eat the palace banquet given by the lady later." ”

Hearing the palace banquet, Shi Lan's eyes lit up.

After wearing so many worlds, she has never eaten a palace banquet, and she is still quite curious about what the emperor eats.

Seeing her obediently put down the chopsticks, Caixia breathed a sigh of relief, handed over the peeled tangerines, and said, "The lady eats this to moisten her mouth first, and the slave maid goes to the front to take a look, lest they be lazy and let the dishes cool." ”

At this time, even if the steaming dishes are only a few breaths away, it will be cold, but there is always no shortage of people in the world who want to please the emperor, and the craftsmen have developed a kind of food box, although it is also wooden, but because the inner layer is wrapped with iron sheets, the bottom layer can be kept warm by a carbon stove, to ensure that when the dishes pass through the imperial dining room to the emperor's table, there is still a high temperature, but this kind of food box is much heavier than the ordinary one.

Caixia said that she was lazy, because she was worried that they would steal the food box.

The thick brocade curtain embroidered with golden osmanthus patterns rose and fell, and the palace maids left two messengers, and the others went to the food box with Caixia, and in a blink of an eye, only Shi Lan and Pan Jinxuan were left in the room.

Shi Lan ate half a tangerine and felt that it was a little too sweet, so she put her hand down.

Pan Jinxuan put down the finished plate and asked Shi Lan in a low voice, "Fourth sister, Qian Nushi is kind to you." ”

Shi Lan blinked, not understanding who she was talking about.

Pan Jinxuan looked at the door carefully, leaned over, leaned into Shi Lan's ear and said, "It's your name Sister Caixia just now, she is the female history who serves the concubine." ”

Shi Lan suddenly realized that this was also an official position.

Shi Lan learned from Pan Jinxuan's appearance, and also bit her ear and said, "So you can't call her Sister Caixia?" ”

Pan Jinxuan shook her head and said, "I don't know, my mother asked me to call it that." ”

Shi Lan nodded, that is, it can be called anything.

A gust of cold wind blew at the door, the palace maids came in smoothly, and in a blink of an eye, the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks were arranged, Caixia walked in with four palace maids, and when she saw Shi Lan, she smiled and said: "The two little ladies are coming, the lady specially ordered the chef to cook shark fin fish maw soup with her own hands, and it is hot at this time." ”

As she spoke, she put down the food box she was carefully carrying in her hand and took out the soup cup from it.

Shi Lan and Pan Jinyue came to the table and sat down, and Caixia skimmed the other ingredients in the soup cup, only took out the yellow almost orange wing powder, and placed it in front of the two of them.

There was a hint of heat wafting from the small soup bowl, and the clear soup was soaked in a crystal powder almost as fine as a hair, and a faint aroma rushed to the nose in a little oil.

Shi Lan curiously scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth, the aroma of the chicken mixed with the freshness of the fish diluted the bitterness contained in it, and there was only a long aftertaste in the mouth.

Shi Lan nodded with satisfaction, it was worthy of being a royal meal, and it was indeed different from what was eaten in other places.

Pan Jinxuan was still a little restrained, watching the dishes in front of Shi Lan disappear rapidly, and her face turned red with shame.

Shi Lan looked at her sipping and said, "Big sister, let's eat it quickly, this dish has been over for a long time, if you don't eat it quickly, beware of the oil flowers on it, even if you want to eat it, you can't eat it." ”

Pan Jinxuan's face turned a little red when she said this, and she glared at Shi Lan with her big watery eyes without the slightest momentum.

Shi Lan shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head and ate again.

Pan Jinxuan had no choice but to look at Caixia embarrassedly and earnestly, and whispered: "Forgive me for the history of the girl, the fourth sister has just come back, and some etiquette has not been learned yet, I will teach her later." ”

The implication is to ask her to keep it secret and not to tell the concubine.

Caixia nodded with a smile, which is considered to be the next step.

Pan Jinxuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Caixia smiled in her heart.

Since the last time she saw Shi Lan, Caixia knew that this little lady had a very unusual status in the heart of the concubine Niangniang, and although Shi Lan ate fast, she behaved elegantly and with a generous demeanor, and she was trained at first glance, but looking at Pan Jinxuan's pleading look, she sighed a little in her heart, it is rare for a big family to love her sisters so sincerely.

Shi Lan didn't raise her head and her belly was round, Pan Jinxuan glared at her a few times, she didn't see it.

Pan Jinxuan had no choice but to eat hard and sprinkle all her anger on the food, but when Shi Lan dropped her chopsticks, she realized that she had forgotten the etiquette in a fit of anger and followed Shi Lan to nonsense.

Pan Jinxuan put down her chopsticks with a fever on her face, and raised her eyes to look carefully at Caixia waiting on the side.

Caixia hurriedly turned her eyes and pretended to look away.

Pan Jinxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the heat on her face decreased slightly.

After the meal, Caixia took Shi Lan and the two to the side to drink tea and eat, and the palace maids lightly removed the table and other things.

After another half of the incense time, a shrill male voice came from outside, saying that the concubine had finished the banquet and was now preparing to come back.

Caixia hurriedly beckoned the palace maid to wrap Shi Lan and the two of them tightly, and when she opened the curtain, she saw a man half-wrapped in the dust at the door.

Shi Lan took a look, and sure enough, it was the peace he had seen before.

Ping An saluted the two of them, and when they were called, they turned around and led the group forward.

Caixia asked her who else was with her mother, whether the foreign wives had all gone back, what she had eaten during the banquet, and so on.

Ping'an said: "There were many people at the banquet, so Niangniang ate two spoonfuls of wing soup, a chopsticks of venison, but drank several glasses of wine, and when the banquet was over, Niangniang let everyone else go back, leaving only Mrs. Pinglin to talk to the old lady." ”

Hearing who was staying, Caixia subconsciously went to look at Shi Lan.

Shi Lan looked at her lightly, and suddenly showed an extremely faint smile.

Caixia couldn't help but be stunned, this was the first time she had seen Shi Lan show such an expression. (To be continued.) )
