Chapter 114: King Huai "Arrested"
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, Huo Yunxuan now has only one brother left in Huo Mansion who really feels sorry for her, and the Queen Mother wants Huo Yunxuan to take this opportunity to recognize the queen as her stepmother, so that her identity has risen significantly, and the people in the mansion will not embarrass her too much even if she sees her identity, and when she wants to bully or suppress her, she must also worry about her identity and dare not act rashly.

And this time the queen and Huo Yunxuan also have a disagreement, and Huo Yunxuan has a tough attitude at this juncture and expresses her unwillingness to recognize the queen as her stepmother, which is quite angry. At least in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Huo Yunxuan has always been childish, and at this time, Huo Yunxuan insisted on not wanting to recognize the queen as her stepmother, so she must be angry.
Therefore, after Huo Yunxuan rejected herself again, the Queen Mother's face was a little displeased, and she glanced at Huo Yunxuan disapprovingly, but she also knew that this child had been stubborn since he was a child, and he was afraid that there would be no conclusion if he continued to talk about it, so he simply said out loud: "Okay, girl Xuan, didn't you say yesterday that you were going to make a soup for the mourning family, and then you will go down to prepare, the mourning family has been thinking about the soup you want to make for the mourning family, and I didn't sleep well last night, so I can't wait." ”
Yesterday, where did Huo Yunxuan say that she would prepare a soup for the Queen Mother, this time Huo Yunxuan heard the Queen Mother say this, and saw that the Queen Mother's face was not very good, knowing that if she continued to talk about it, it was estimated that she would annoy the Queen Mother. Annoying the Queen Mother is not the purpose of his trip. Isn't the purpose of his trip just to please the Queen Mother, and if he annoys the Queen Mother because of this incident, won't the gains outweigh the losses?
Besides, it is not very difficult to convince the Queen Mother, and at that time, I will talk to the Queen Mother in private, I have always insisted, and the Queen Mother does not seem to be the kind of person who is stubborn. On the contrary, if he directly refutes the queen mother's meaning in this public, makes the queen mother lose face and annoys the queen mother, it is estimated that he will not have a good life in the future.
With such a wisp, which is more important than the other, Huo Yunxuan can naturally handle the proportion very well, so she smiled at the Queen Mother, and made a concession: "Yunxuan will definitely not live up to the expectations of the Queen Mother." ”
After saying that, he got up, saluted the queen mother, turned to the queen again, and said with a smile: "If the queen doesn't dislike it, stay and try Yunxuan's craftsmanship." ”
It's better to put some more poison in that bowl of soup. Huo Yunxuan silently rolled her eyes in her heart, she asked this just out of politeness, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it seemed that she was softening the queen, so her face eased a little. nodded secretly in her heart, and said in her heart, Huo Yunxuan is indeed sensible and has grown up a lot. With a relieved expression on his face, he smiled
"Take Mama Fu with you, if you need anything, just let Mama Fu tell you to go down."
But now that Mama Fu is an enemy or a friend, it is still unclear, how dare Huo Yunxuan use her with confidence? Besides, this is something to eat, how dare Huo Yunxuan easily bring a dangerous person with her?
Therefore, as soon as the Queen Mother's voice fell, Huo Yunxuan smiled and waved her hand and smiled: "There is no need to be so troublesome, the Queen Mother is used to using Fu Mama, if this Zi Yunxuan takes Fu Mama away, wouldn't the Queen Mother be used to it." ”
After saying that, after thinking about it for a while, he continued: "The left and right are in their own small kitchen, so you don't have to bother much, if Yun Xuan needs anything, just tell the consul in the kitchen directly." ”
Mama Fu is not necessarily the queen's person, the queen must have her own people in Cining Palace, and according to Huo Yunxuan's observations in the past few days, the queen's spy in Cining Palace must be extremely trusted by the queen mother or the queen mother who serves her closely. If that person is not Mama Fu, it must be someone next to the Queen Mother. But no matter who it was, Huo Yunxuan didn't have a clue at all, in this case, Huo Yunxuan really didn't dare to hand over the matter of cooking to someone she didn't trust.
Although the Queen Mother didn't know what Huo Yunxuan had at this time, she also felt that Huo Yunxuan's idea was good, besides, how could Mama Fu be an elder, if she followed Huo Yunxuan, Huo Yunxuan would inevitably be nervous about not being able to do things well.
Therefore, as soon as Huo Yunxuan's words fell, the Queen Mother nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "That's fine, you can go down first." ”
In my heart, I thought that after Huo Yunxuan went down for a while, I would say good things about Huo Yunxuan in front of the queen for Huo Yunxuan, although Gu Shaoyuan's matter was in a uproar all over the city, and the emperor didn't have the heart to care about this, but in the end, he wanted to leave a good impression on the queen, and fortunately, when the queen and the emperor talked about it, they praised Huo Yunxuan a lot.
Of course, these are all things that will not be mentioned for the time being. Let's talk about Huo Yunxuan first, when she took Zhishu to the small kitchen of Cining Palace, she was dazzled.
It's just a small kitchen in the palace that has been equipped so completely, and I really want to see what the imperial dining room is like.
"Miss Huo," Mama Wang, who was in charge, had already gotten the news, and in the morning, she took a few mama palace maids from the kitchen to stand in two rows and wait at the door, as soon as Huo Yunxuan entered the inner kitchen, Mama Wang, who was in charge, led the two groups of people to greet Huo Yunxuan's collective blessing and said: "Miss Huo is blessed with golden health." ”
Huo Yunxuan nodded, raised her hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained, Yunxuan is not familiar with the kitchen when she first arrives, and she still needs more teaching from the grandmothers. ”
Huo Yunxuan's smile is already very affinity, and her voice is extremely gentle, and anyone who is polite and polite will like it, let alone these older grandmothers.
At this time, I saw a talkative master, and Mama Wang also smiled happily: "Where the girl said, the girl is willing to come to our place to make such a small kitchen shine, it is our blessing, where it is said to add chaos to the chaos." ”
Getting along well starts with a smile. At the beginning, everyone got along happily, Huo Yunxuan was naturally very happy in her heart, smiled and squinted at a few grandmothers in the kitchen, and followed Mama Wang to the front of the board for cutting vegetables, and said with a smile: "Is it here to cut vegetables?" ”
"Hey," Mama Wang nodded with a smile, and then pointed to the board opposite Huo Yunxuan, and said with a smile: "That board is used to cut meat." ”
After that, his hand pointed to a piece of board a little in front of Huo Yunxuan's oblique direction, and said with a smile: "That piece is used to cut fruits and the like." ”
It's a place where ordinary people outside squeeze their heads and want to come in, no wonder when praising a person's cooking skills, they will say that it is even better than the chef in the imperial dining room. This is just a small harem kitchen, the division of labor is so clear and delicate, not to mention how complete the equipment in the imperial dining room is.
Following the direction of Mama Wang's finger, Huo Yunxuan almost memorized the structure of this kitchen, and Mama Wang asked with a smile: "The matter was notified too suddenly, and there are many ingredients that the slaves and maids haven't had time to ask, and they don't know what ingredients the girl needs to prepare." ”
"It's not a complicated soup, it doesn't need to be too complicated." Huo Yunxuan squinted her eyes and smiled, and after looking around, she said with a smile: "It's all some common ingredients, Mama, help me take a look, do we have them in the kitchen." ”
Huo Yunxuan is very good at winning people's hearts, this time she uses the honorific "you" for the grandmothers, and the tone is not the tone of command, but the tone of cooperation and consultation, and then the word "we" comes out, which shortens the distance between her and Mama Wang, and it is very comfortable to listen to Mama Wang's ears, and she respects Huo Yunxuan more in her heart, nodding and laughing again and again
"What do you need, don't worry, just say it, if the kitchen is not available, the old slave will go to the imperial dining room to borrow ingredients, and the left and right will be used by the queen mother, and the imperial dining room will not be embarrassed."
The people in the harem are the most proficient in reading people's faces, the most powerful people, the queen mother is the emperor's mother, and even the emperor has to respect and pay attention to it, and others naturally dare not lack the queen mother in anything. And other people in the harem are not so good, if they are favored, the treatment is naturally good, if they are not favored, this will be cold in winter, and it is estimated that even the coal burned in the palace is not enough.
I sighed secretly in my heart, didn't think about it anymore, just smiled at Mama Wang, and said, "Red dates, white fungus, lotus seeds, wolfberry rock sugar, osmanthus sauce." It's all some ordinary ingredients, and you should have them all in the kitchen? ”
Huo Yunxuan looked at Mama Wang cautiously, made Mama Wang laugh, and nodded with a smile: "There are all of them, there are all of them." ”
After that, he beckoned a few other idle palace maids to look for ingredients, and turned his head to look at Huo Yunxuan with a smile, and said with a smile: "These people have not arranged work yet, if the girl has any needs, just tell them." ”
"Hey," Huo Yunxuan nodded with a smile, looked at the ingredients found by several people, counted them, and smiled at the palace maid who found the lotus seeds: "This sister, please help me soak these lotus seeds in warm water for half an hour." ”
Huo Yunxuan's mouth was extremely sweet, and she didn't use a condescending tone to order, but called someone else's sister, and called someone sweet in her heart, even if she was instructed to work, she would not have too many complaints, but nodded happily, took the prepared lotus seeds and weighed the number of people to eat, scooped out a small bowl from it and put it in warm water to soak.
Huo Yunxuan personally filled the pot with water, together with the white fungus, after the water boiled, poured the soaked lotus seeds, put rock sugar, boiled them for a quarter of an hour, and when the lotus seeds were about to boil, they dug a spoonful of osmanthus sauce and put it in the pot, until the white fungus soup was thick and sticky, sprinkled a few wolfberries, boiled for a while, then turned off the fire, scooped the white fungus lotus seed soup into the food jar, and specially left some in the pot, and smiled at several grandmothers and palace maids
"I'm troublesome to a few grandmothers today, thank you for your help, I have caused trouble to all of you Yunxuan really can't help it, these in this pot are used as a thank you gift to thank all of you, the ceremony is light and affectionate, and you don't dislike it."
The things made by the master will be rewarded to them only if they are leftover or not eaten, where will they be like Huo Yunxuan, where will they set aside a bowl to reward them?
Mama Wang was extremely grateful to Huo Yunxuan for her blessings, and sent Huo Yunxuan out of the small kitchen together, all the way to Huo Yunxuan who was about to enter the main hall of Cining Palace, and then they all returned to the kitchen. Since then, for a long time, as long as Huo Yunxuan is talked about, several people are full of praise. When I went out to buy, I met a few palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, and I couldn't help but show off that I had tasted the craftsmanship of the concubines of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and naturally told them how humble and polite Huo Yunxuan was, and for a while, the evaluation of Huo Yunxuan in the harem was simply full of praise, and those who had never seen Huo Yunxuan, or had heard of Huo Yunxuan's arrogance and domineering, after hearing the words of Mama Wang and others, they became even more curious about the four girls of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Of course, these are all later words, but when Huo Yunxuan led Zhishu and a few people into Cining Palace with white fungus lotus seed soup, she really didn't expect that the queen was really still in Cining Palace. Fortunately, Huo Yunxuan was prepared, prepared for two people, and filled two food cans.
Seeing the queen, Huo Yunxuan silently rolled her eyes in her heart, regretting that she didn't put some poison in the queen's bowl or something.
Of course, thinking like this in his heart, he didn't show any reluctance to see the queen on his face, the corners of his mouth hooked a very good smile, and he bowed to the queen mother and the queen mother, Huo Yunxuan smiled and said: "The queen mother reminded Yun Xuan to go to the kitchen to prepare earlier, if she plays for a while, I'm afraid the queen mother will be hungry." ”
After that, he winked at the Queen Mother mischievously, making the Queen Mother laugh.
Huo Yunxuan was worried about whether the Queen Mother was still angry with herself, but when she saw the Queen Mother smiling at her and shaking her head, she returned to her former appearance, so she was relieved.
gave Zhishu a few looks, motioned for them to bring the food jar in front of them, and said with a smile: "This soup made by Yun Xuan is called white fungus lotus seed soup, which has a unique beauty effect, if you insist on drinking it every day, the effect will be more obvious." ”
After that, he smiled and said coquettishly to the Queen Mother: "Yun Xuan has already handed over the recipe to Mama Wang, and instructed Mama Wang to make a bowl for the Queen Mother to drink every day in the future. ”
"Okay, good," the Queen Mother said three times in a row, took the food jar, scooped a mouthful and put it into her mouth, and after swallowing it, she nodded with satisfaction: "It's very good, it's really delicious." ”
In the end, it is a woman, regardless of women throughout the ages, there is a common characteristic is the love of beauty, at this time I heard that it is a beauty and beauty thing, the queen is naturally interested, and also scooped a spoonful into the mouth, the taste instantly stimulated the taste buds, after swallowing, the queen did not care about what enemies were not enemies, and asked directly: "How is this white fungus lotus seed soup made, you also give the palace a recipe when you go back, and the palace will try it when you go back." ”
Huo Yunxuan rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking about whether to put something else in her recipe, but someone hurriedly opened the curtain from outside and entered the inner room, looking at the Queen Mother with an anxious expression.
