Chapter 18 The eve of the Zongzi Festival
That night, the news that Qin Lingyun and Wen Yueying had a banquet alone in the Hailiu Pavilion during the Dragon Boat Festival spread throughout the harem. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Since Qin Lingyun ascended the throne, every year at the Dragon Boat Banquet, the position of the Hailiu Pavilion is a fixed combination of Li Suqin sitting on the left and Guan Rui sitting on the right. This time, Qin Lingyun ingeniously left only Wen Yueying, the future mother of the country, in the Hailiu Pavilion, and it was like throwing a bombshell in the harem, which made the concubines dizzy for a while.
Whether Li Suqin and Guan Rui, the two leaders of the harem who were hit the hardest, were so angry that they jumped to their feet in their own palace or crooked their noses in anger, no one outside would know, but Qin Lingyun was busy in the past two days before the Dragon Boat Banquet, and he couldn't spare time to go to Chaoyue Palace to grab snacks and eat with Wen Yueying-yes, not to mention the two big Buddhas Li Suqin and Guan Rui, there are high-ranking concubines of a certain level in the harem, who doesn't have two brushes behind their mother's house? Qin Lingyun still has to hurry out to appease these women? If it is not appeased well, who makes a stumbling block behind his back, at that time, he will lose his face, it is estimated that Qin Lingyun will also have a headache at that time, so it is better to appease the reality in advance.
Wen Yueying didn't have to face Qin Lingyun's fake face of snatching food and smirking in the past two days, and her mood was much better, and she even had the interest to go to the small kitchen with a group of little palace maids tossing all kinds of zongzi. Wen Yueying was already a big-minded special foodie in her last life, sweet zongzi salty zongzi, sweet rice balls salty rice balls, sweet bean curd salted bean curd, these are half dead in the fight on the Internet, she is not refused, salty and sweet are mixed and eaten so happily.
Now as long as you say a word in this Chaoyue Palace, there is naturally a steady stream of good ingredients to supply to the small kitchen, and the cook is also a good helper who is awake and can get through at one point.
So Wen Yueying gave an order, and the little palace maids all rolled up their sleeves and went into the courtyard of the small kitchen to help and make trouble. Wen Yueying is only eighteen years old at this time, and the difference between these little palace maids who marry is one year or two years old, and they are only half-grown children.
I only took pity on the cook Wan Niangzi, and shouted here for a while: "Hey, little ancestor, how can chestnuts go well with bean paste?" This white spoils the best Jiangmi! After a while, he yelled over there, "Oh my God! How can this chicken be mixed with fish? Who can withstand this smell?! ”
Wen Yueying couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the little palace maid who was very good at innovating chicken and fish was a little uneasy when Wan Niangzi said this, and hurriedly turned her head to her and smiled: "Don't listen to Wan Niangzi!" With me, you can toss as much as you like! It's just a little bit, don't waste food, you have to eat it yourself if it's unpalatable for a while! ”
When the little palace maid heard Wen Yueying say this, she stuffed another piece of chicken into the zongzi in her hand, and smiled proudly at Wan Niangzi: "Wan Niangzi can't blame me, I am following the orders of the fourth princess!" The other little palace maids all listened to it from the sidelines, and they all watched Wan Niangzi burst into laughter.
Wan Niangzi had no choice but to stand aside with her hands and said angrily: "You can eat these strange flavors in a while!" When the time comes, you'll have to choke your neck and swallow it! No matter how unpalatable it is, don't pour it or cry! As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her laughter, which made the little palace maids lose the slightest fear, and the people in the courtyard were laughing crookedly, and it was really lively for a while.
It was the season of laughter, but next to the door frame of the small courtyard, I saw a little eunuch Xiao Fuzi who was guarding the door in front of him probing his brain, Wan Niangzi was idle, so she pulled his sleeve and dragged him in and said with a smile: "What is Xiao Fuzi doing here?" Don't you want to steal zongzi to eat? This thief is early, and the zongzi haven't been put into the pot yet, so I'm waiting to go! ”
Everyone laughed again, but Xiao Fuzi turned his distressed eyes on Sakura next to Wen Yueying, and called, "Sister Sakura......"
Wen Yueying also saw it, so she smiled and said, "Xiao Fuzi said something straight, don't have Xiao Sakura to pass the word left and right for a while." ”
Xiaofuzi scratched his head and said: "If you go back to the fourth princess, there are several ladies in the palace outside, all of whom say that they are here to accompany the fourth princess to drink tea." ”
"Let's just say that I'm not feeling well and resting, just let them all come back." Wen Yueying's brows furrowed into two knots, it was easy for Qin Lingyun's bad intentions to come to Chaoyue Palace to make people worry-free, but what kind of moths did this group of harem women make?! After thinking about it again, he simply turned his head and instructed Sakura: "It's not easy to say this, Sakura, you just follow along, if there are still people who want to talk crookedly, ask them to go to the Cheng'an Palace to find their emperor!" Let's just say that it is me, I am not well, and the emperor also knows, if you want to drink tea and drink, you can invite the emperor to go, I have to keep my spirit and go to the banquet. Regardless of whether they are angry or angry, Sakura hurriedly went out and sent them back to make zongzi. ”
Sakura responded and went with Xiao Fuzi, Wan Niangzi listened to this matter next to her, and carefully looked at Wen Yueying's eyebrows, and there was indeed no sign of being very annoyed in Wen Yueying's eyes, so she asked cautiously: "Fourth princess, this seems to be a bit easy to say, Xiao Sakura went out like this to spread the word, and it was passed out in the future, isn't it good for you?" ”
Wen Yueying smiled disapprovingly and said, "Wan Niangzi thinks too much!" I'm not afraid at all, these people who came today are just looking at the fact that there are no them among the people appeased by the emperor, so they specially took advantage of the emperor's absence to come to the Moon Palace to inquire about the news and find an opportunity to give others eye medicine! They can pass it on as much as they like, and the soldiers borrowed by our Baoxiang Kingdom are still fighting on the border at this time, who will have the long ears to listen to gossip! Wan Niangzi can't worry about this, so let's hurry up and worry about whether the group of little guys in front of me will tie up zongzi more practically! Wan Niangzi, if you don't teach them again, it won't be steamed zongzi for a while, but Jiang rice that will be steamed directly! ”
Wan Niangzi looked over with Wen Yueying's smiling gaze, and sure enough, she saw a large pile of rice dumplings bundled into a mess, and immediately forgot about everything else, only held her forehead and shouted: "Little ancestors, you are just going to eat rotten vegetables and rice!" Zongzi is not so bundled! ”
