Chapter 49: Temptation (4)
Yuqiao heard Princess Xinyang say this, she had no feeling for Zhao Rurui, and she didn't want to help Fang Yumu, so she only lowered her eyebrows and listened with her lips pursed.
Fang Yumu tilted his head, glanced at Yu Qiao a few times, and said with a smile: "I smelled a strange fragrance on Miss Chu earlier, but the smell of durian incense?" ”
"Grangranate tarry?" Princess Xinyang looked at Fang Yumu and suddenly smiled: "You are still a person who has seen the world!" Do you even know about the rarities outside this gate? ”
Fang Yumu was also calm, and said: "On the second day of the first month, the emperor was kind-hearted and invited hundreds of civil and military officials to have a banquet in the palace. That's why the courtiers know the beauty of this incense! ”
Princess Xinyang pursed her lips, her eyes were faint, like thin nails on her slender fingertips: "This Xiangbengong has begged the imperial grandmother a few times, but it has never been satisfactory, you are actually a blessed person than me!" ”
Fang Yumu heard this tone, although he didn't know the reason, but he knew that the disaster came from his mouth, the smug look on his cheeks was fleeting, his face was full of shame, and he said in fear: "The courtiers are only shallow in their studies, and they speak recklessly, please forgive Princess Xinyang!" ”
Princess Xinyang snorted coldly, picked up the black tea cup, and drank half a cup of white leaf tea.
Yu Qiao thought about it, Fang Yumu is the daughter of a fourth-grade official after all, who knows the love and hatred in the palace, and has never been with Princess Xinyang, so she doesn't know her temperament.
Just because she overheard the princess praising her, she forgot to hide it, and after a few words, she touched the hidden pain in the heart of the noble person.
Princess Xinyang immediately looked at Yuqiao, and asked with a smile: "You can also tell me, won't this incense also be given by my imperial grandmother?" ”
Yu Qiao's eyes slipped into the distance without a trace, and Zhou Zhenwei was sitting there like a golden knife, listening to the remarks of others while eating and drinking, and his thick eyebrows were slightly twisted when he heard it.
She sighed secretly in her heart, the more she didn't want to say, the more she didn't want to mention, the more she wanted to bypass the past, but she always inadvertently returned to the original point, not allowing you to escape the twists and turns.
"Whether this incense is a pomegranate tower incense, Yuqiao doesn't know, it was his brother who went to Beijing with King Wu to pay for it, and handed it over to his mother at home, it is said that he occasionally got a little bit in that Broken Flower City, and Yuqiao is just fresh!"
After listening to Yuqiao's explanation, Princess Xinyang's face was a little pale, she thought about it, and then said: "You have a stunning appearance, presumably my brother must also be jade and golden!" ”
"Princess Xie praises!" Yu Qiao frowned, and said with annoyance: "It's just that there is a pair of stinky skins!" The princess didn't know, the elder brother in the family, since he was a child, he had a headache and brain fever when he read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he still hasn't learned some words, his father reprimanded, he put his anger and marched to fight, this time when he came back, he did some things like chickens and dogs, and he gave his body to the void of upside down, and he couldn't even go out with King Wu. Now that I'm idle at home, it's really depressing. ”
It can be seen that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read! This is the case in the palace, and the same is true in ordinary people's homes! Princess Xinyang had a relative, raised her eyes and looked somewhere, her face turned red, and she approached Yuqiao and whispered: "Have you looked at Zhou Zhenwei, the young Yin of Yanjing Mansion?" ”
"Look!" Yuqiao was rarely a little stunned, in the previous life, she remembered that the princess inquired about her brother in detail, it was a lot of entanglement, and she also had the intention of wooing her, so she knew everything, said everything, and praised her brother only in heaven. Now, she didn't say a word, and when she was cautiously speaking, this Xinyang princess seemed to be in a state of interest and had no interest in her brother.
"That Zhou Zhenwei, the palace had met by chance on the day when the six royal brothers entered Beijing with the team, he did not get off the horse and kneel, only straddled the horse to make a move, but looked different from the man next to him." Princess Xinyang became more and more delicate and delicate, red and moist, Yuqiao's heart fluttered, and she smiled reluctantly: "A martial artist, the princess can already lift him up at a glance." ”
"Don't underestimate him" Princess Xinyang's eyes became more and more confused, and her smile was deep and faint at the corner of her lips.
According to the practice of previous years, the daughters of the official families brought a little dim sum in the food box, and packed them in white porcelain plates, a plate of plates, a bowl of bowls, and a full table for everyone to taste each other.
This is a very common part of the Spring Exploration Banquet, but because these official daughters have different thoughts, it seems that there is a furrow inside.
In the Spring Exploration Banquet the year before last, Chu Yuqiao sang a willow poem, which won the praise of the princess, and then he filled the capital with his talent, and his reputation was irritating.
In last year's Spring Festival Banquet, Yu Hongming was defeated by a parfait, which was all over the house, causing a miserable storm and panic.
And this year, becoming a male and losing to a coward, these rich daughters always have to sacrifice their lives for their own married future.
Therefore, as far as the eye can see, all kinds of dim sum are dazzling, delicate and small, some are as white as crane feathers, some are delicate and tender like frozen milk, some are fragrant and attract bees and butterflies, and some are grotesque and strange, all kinds of extremes, but people have less appetite and full eyes.
Zhao Rurui took the lead in standing up, took a plate of dim sum and handed it to the palace maid in front of Princess Xinyang, and said respectfully: "This is the rhombic cake made by the courtiers herself. ”
Yu Qiao glanced at it a few times, the color was extremely white and greasy, like a plum petal, but it was smeared with smoke purple, plain and elegant.
"It's hard for you!" Princess Xinyang dug half a spoonful and tasted it, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at her with a smile: "Even if you make it yourself, you must know the method, it is better to listen to how to make it, everyone is good to go home and learn." ”
Zhao Rurui became more and more proud, and her tone was sharpened: "The courtiers chose the frost season, harvested Suzhou old water red ling, cut out the whole white meat, dried and ground into powder, add two points of water mill glutinous rice flour produced in Suzhou, and then sprinkle with clean powder snowflake sugar, fill in the plum blossom mold and steam it." This rhombus cake nourishes the spleen and stomach, detoxifies the heat, and is beneficial and harmless to the body! ”
Princess Xinyang listened to what she said in detail, presumably she did make a lot of hard work, and she also appreciated her face at the moment, so she ate ninety percent of this cake.
Other official daughters who can look at the landscape will congratulate Zhao Rurui one after another, and the flattery of flattery is no problem.
At this time, Yu Qiao heard one side of his ear, Fang Yumu was staring at the dim sum and let out a low sound of surprise.
She looked at it casually, and couldn't help but be shocked, her cheeks froze, and layers of thin beads of sweat suddenly secreted on her forehead.
The name of that dim sum is called sand date pine red crisp roll, sand date is only abundant in the area of Broken Flower City, in the previous life, this dim sum is extremely common in Broken Flower City, everyone knows, everyone will do.
But this is not the city of broken flowers, it is the city of Yanjing separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
This snack was made by Yuqiao on a whim.
She really didn't think that Fang Yumu would come to this spring banquet.
never thought that she was carrying the memories of her previous life, just like that, people were caught off guard.
