Chapter 14: The Funeral of the Empress Dowager
"Okay, you guys get it, let's go back and wait for the beef hot pot!" Tsk, when I thought of beef hot pot, Erfu swallowed her saliva unconsciously, and she hadn't eaten it once since she came here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info If it tastes similar to modern times this time, you won't have to worry about having nothing to eat in the future, and you can eat beef hot pot for three meals a day in the future.
After about half an hour, Lao He and the palace maid brought up the beef hot pot, and listened to Bai according to Erfu's teaching, and it was cooked after a while.
Erff took a piece of spice and put it in her mouth, closed her eyes and enjoyed it, and the feeling of happiness immediately came to her face.
"Lafayette, is this the beef hot pot you want to eat?" Lao He asked cautiously.
"Hmm. Yes, that's it, this is the beef hot pot that the mourning family wants, Lao He, Tingbai, Xiao Yizi, come on, you eat with the mourning family, so many mourning families can't eat it, you must eat it hot, and eat it with more people to be fragrant! No, the mourning family ordered you to eat! "Every time Erff asked them to eat with him, they refused, and in the end they had to make an order, this time to see what they would do.
The three of them, you look at me, I look at you, there is no way because it is the queen mother's order! So the three of them picked up the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Yizi first took a piece and dipped some spices into his mouth, and Erfu looked at his subtle change of expression.
"Is it delicious? Little Yizi? ”
"Lafayette, it's so delicious, it's the first time a slave has eaten such a delicious dish for such a big life! It's really a blessing to Lafayette," Tingbai, who was standing on the side, also nodded.
"Hey, Lafayette, the slave Lao He has been a cook for more than 30 years, the first time I heard of this practice, the first time I tasted this delicious food, today Lao He has been taught!" Lao He said.
"It's okay, it's okay, I have to thank you! Lao He, thank you very much for being able to adjust the sauce that the mourning family said like this. This is the favorite dish in the memory of the mourning family, and I can't make it without you today. Erfu said and asked Tingbai to put some dishes in, and sure enough, it was still beef hot pot.
"Hey, Xiao Yizi, you and Lao He sent some to the emperor and the empress dowager when they had dinner. Let the emperor and the empress dowager try it, they must not have eaten it! But don't tell anyone else how this works, you know? This beef hot pot will be exclusive to the Cining Palace of the Mourning Family from today onwards! ”
Erfu and the others finished eating the hot pot, but Lao He went down after a few bites, saying that there was a new dish inspired and he wanted to try it. Naturally, Erfu didn't stop him, after all, he had to do what he had to eat for himself in the future, and innovation was naturally a good thing.
At dinner, Xiao Yizi and Lao He sent it to the little emperor and the empress dowager, and the little emperor came to Cining Palace immediately after tasting it.
"Huang Eniang, how did you find this beef hot pot, it's so delicious, you tell the cooks in the imperial dining room about this secret recipe. In the future, it will be convenient for my son to eat. ”
Erf shook her head wickedly, and said softly:
"In the future, if the emperor wants to eat, come to the Cining Palace of the mourning family, and let the mourning family let Lao He make it for the emperor to eat."
"Huang Eniang, you can do it, tell the imperial chef about them!"
Erfu continued to shake her head firmly, and Wen Yuan also knew it.
"Okay, since Huang Eniang intends to make this worldly delicacy a unique delicacy in Cining Palace, then I will inevitably go to Huang Eniang to lie down more in the future, Huang Eniang will rest earlier, and my son will go back to the Heart Nourishing Palace to approve the folds first."
Before Wen Yuan could finish kneeling, a little eunuch ran in in a panic.
"Whose slave is bold enough to trespass on Cining Palace, and he is not afraid of shocking the Queen Mother?" Wen Yuan said angrily to the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground.
"The emperor forgives the sin, the slave didn't mean to alarm the emperor and the queen mother." The eunuch looked up. I took a closer look, isn't this person the little Changzi next to the Empress Dowager, because the original name was too funny, so I wrote it down.
"You are the little Changzi next to the Queen Mother!" Erf asked.
"It's a slave, Lafayette, go to Shoukang Palace with the slave, the Empress Dowager is dying, I want to call you by name" Xiao Changzi said while wiping his tears.
"What?" Erf stood up sharply, her head flickering, and in an instant her eyes went dark.
"Huang Eniang, are you okay?" Wen Yuanyan hurriedly helped Erfu.
"It's okay, hurry up and go to Shoukang Palace."
On the way to Shoukang Palace, Erfu thought a lot, in fact, when she first heard that the Empress Dowager was dying, her heart had already collapsed, the Empress Dowager was such a kind and kind old man, and she treated herself so well. If there is anything delicious and useful, I will send someone to bring it to me as soon as possible.
Although I didn't feel the kindness of my family in the 21st century, my parents were not around all the year round, and my brother had limited time to go home to see him, but the queen mother gave her mother the warmth, I really can't believe that a person who treats herself so well is about to leave.
Without waiting for Erfu to think about it, the sedan chair had already stopped at the door of Shoukang Palace. Listening to Bai helped Erfu trot all the way to the Empress Dowager's dormitory at the fastest speed, the eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial doctors knelt on the ground, and the palace people wiped their tears. Immediately step forward:
"Huang Eniang, Erfu is here, come to see you." Erf knelt beside the bed and took the Empress Dowager's hand.
"Girl, you're here." The Empress Dowager seemed to have exhausted all the strength in her body, and reluctantly pulled out a smile.
"Huang Eniang, don't waste your strength to speak, the imperial doctors are here, they will cure you, you take care of it, Erfu is here to serve you" The more he said the tears, the more he was angry, and all the scramble flowed out.
"Fu girl, don't cry, it's not beautiful if you cry too much. Huang Eniang's own body, she knows that everyone will die, sooner or later, girl, Huang Eniang has no regrets in this life, but she can't let go of you, Huang Eniang is gone, you have to take good care of yourself. Don't blame the emperor for making these decisions for your own good, you know? cough cough cough cough halfway through, the palace maids used handkerchiefs to block the queen mother's mouth, and when the queen mother stopped coughing, the white handkerchief was picked up, and the bright red was all blood.
"Huang Eniang, you will be fine, it will be your birthday in three days, Erfu has prepared a birthday gift for you that you have never seen before, you will definitely like it." Erfu said while crying, and I don't know if the Queen Mother heard what she said clearly.
"Girl, as long as it is prepared by you, no matter what the royal mother will like, but the imperial mother can't see the gift you prepared. Girl, this is the dowry that the emperor's mother married to the palace, and her mother's family brought her dowry" The queen mother's trembling hand held something wrapped in a red cloth.
"Cypress, help me up." The Empress Dowager said to her personal maid that Cuibai wiped her tears and helped the Empress Dowager up.
The Empress Dowager opened the dowry wrapped in red cloth, which was a colorful phoenix made of gold, why did it say it was colorful, because this golden phoenix was all inlaid with gemstones of various colors. The Empress Dowager trembled and thrust the phoenix into Erf's bun.
"This Fengluan step shake is my original dowry, this step shake only passes on to women and not men, in this life I am such a son of the first emperor, I thought that no one could pass it on. But since I saw you, I like you in my heart, and I want to give it to you all the time, and I plan to bring it to you in front of everyone when I celebrate my birthday, but I can't wait for that time. It's so beautiful, my little girl is beautiful, she looks good in anything. Girl, the life of this harem is not easy, the emperor can only accompany you here, you will have to rely on yourself in the future, the emperor will accompany you in the sky. The hand that touched Erfu's face suddenly fell, and the falling hand was like a switch, and the falling hand felt that Erph's heart had stopped beating.
