He took her by the hand, turned his head to Xu Jing who was waiting on the side and said, "Pass the meal." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The palace people waiting outside the hall rushed in, and within a while, the dishes were set on the table. Lotus seed porridge, pearl tofu, sweet and sour lotus root, stir-fried peas, hibiscus prawns, walnut cheese are all home-cooked side dishes, delicate rather than delicious.
Puyu smiled and sat down beside him and said, "These dishes are so well done. ā
He put a piece of lotus root into her bowl and smiled gently: "The lotus root is sweet and refreshing, you can taste it too." ā
Puyu picked it up and put it in his mouth, and after tasting it carefully, he praised: "The original crisp sweetness is left in the lotus root slices, and there is a burst of lotus sweetness in the aftertaste, which can be described as a fine product in the world." ā
He smiled: "I rarely hear you praise someone or something, but now just lotus root slices can make you call the world's best products, it seems that lotus root slices have won your heart." ā
Pu Yuwan said: "The concubine is just telling the truth. As far as the concubines know, the emperor has extremely high requirements for food, if it is not a fine product in the world, how can it be placed on this table. ā
He was stunned, how could she be so wrong about him? After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "A little thing that holds a grudge." ā
In the midsummer afternoon that day, the sun was slightly oblique, passing through the green leaves of the branches and branches, falling mottled and fragmented silhouettes of the sun, he and her sat at both ends of the chess game under the corridor of the Jingyu Pavilion, holding black and white chess pieces, the sun was just right, the years were quiet, the afternoon breeze was slightly slow, time was like still water, slowly and silently moving forward, the decline of the white child was highlighted, and the victory or defeat in the chess game was settled. The fingertips of the white man rubbed back and forth, and she didn't fall for a long time, but she suddenly smiled and said: "The concubine made lotus seed soup this morning, and the emperor wants to drink some to relieve the heat?" ā
He glanced at the chess game and then at her with a smile, and said in a good mood: "Since Yu'er did it herself, how could I miss it?" ā
The subtotal succeeded. She smiled more and more gently and brightly, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, like spring flowers, and said: "Linglong went back to the hall to get lotus seed soup, and Linglong stared at it to collect the chess game." ā
He didn't hesitate to stop it: "The chess game is not over, how can you stop it?" Could it be that Yu'er wants to be laipi? ā
Puyu nodded and generously admitted, "Hmm." ā
Frankly admitted, so that he was full of words and had nowhere to speak, he had to be silent, let her lie on the skin, and let her take it away and put the victory on the lotus seed soup.
She liked sweetness, and he didn't like sweetness, so he took a sip and put it on the table and didn't drink it.
She sat down beside him, sensing his movements, and asked with concern, "Not to taste?" ā
He commented with a smile: "Lotus seeds have a sweet taste, which can not only nourish the heart and kidneys, but also have the effect of relieving heat." Yu'er, you put an extra spoonful of sugar, the taste of lotus seeds is replaced by a sweet and greasy taste, and the summer soup is too sweet and easy to thirsty. ā
She lowered her head and took a sip, cold and sweet, she didn't feel anything wrong, and called Linglong to make a pot of tea with him.
He took a sip, suddenly frowned slightly, and stretched out the white porcelain teacup to Puyu's eyes.
Although the exquisite tea art is not superb, it is not so bad that it is difficult to eat. Puyu took a big sip along his hand, fragrant, sweet, no different from the usual, the sweetness drowned out the sweet and greasy taste, and the thirst in his mouth was lost.
Although it did not brew the delicate and light tea flavor of Longjing, it was not bad for Linglong, who studied under Yan Xi, to reach this level.
Puyu looked up at him, his dragon robe had retreated, dressed in white, silver thread embroidered with delicate and complex colorful auspicious cloud patterns on the snow-white cuffs, white clothes and bright eyes like a white-clothed scholar with a graceful temperament, his face was extremely handsome, his brows were slightly twisted, but a shallow smile in the eyes as black as ink jade floated faintly, and after withdrawing his hand lightly, he took another sip of tea in the cup before he said quietly: "You can drink it." ā
Recalling that day, the sun was yellow, the breeze was gentle, and the fragrance of Longjing was sweet, and she sighed softly in her heart, but fortunately she didn't know.
He added: "It's rare that you like this lotus root so much. Gifts are still exchanged, you send me a picture album, and I give you my favorite cook. ā
Puyu put down her chopsticks and said with a smile: "It is the concubine's intention to give the emperor a picture album, and she has never asked the emperor to give it back." ā
The palace is an unusual place, and you need to be careful everywhere and be cautious every step. So far, it has not been ascertained whether anyone knows about Pu Chen's trespass into the harem, and it is not wise to include anyone who is not divided between friend and foe in the palace.
He picked up a piece of tofu and put it in her bowl and said, "Yu'er, are you not satisfied with his cooking skills?" ā
Puyu shook his head and said softly: "This person's cooking skills are exquisite, and the chefs of the entire Pure Jade Pavilion may not be able to compare with him." ā
He frowned slightly, and said, "Why did you refuse resolutely?" If it weren't for the Pure Jade Pavilion, what secrets would no one know? ā
Puyu's heart jumped, her eyes shifted, falling out of the window, the sun was melting, the trees were tall, a breeze passed by, and the green leaves that were overlapping and crowded among the branches trembled gently, like blue waves surging, and the sound of cicadas rose and fell, endlessly, disturbing and irritating.
Drinking avoidance soup, cheating death and leaving the palace, Puchen entering the palace chaotically, no matter which one can put her in the place of death and life, affecting her father and brother, you must not act rashly. Puyu secretly admonished herself. His heart was like a huge wave, his face was light and light, and he said calmly: "This cook is the emperor's favorite person, how can the concubine take the emperor's favor?" What you don't want to know is a secret, although the Pure Jade Pavilion is not big, if you don't have one or two secrets, it's a rumor. ā
There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and he said, "Although I like this person, he is only good at cooking sweets, and it is useless to stay in the Yihe Palace." You have always liked sweetness, and he will win your heart in the Pure Jade Pavilion. "As an emperor, he needs to eat all kinds of grains, and even if he really loves something, he can only bury it deep in his heart, beware of being used by people with bad intentions.
