Chapter 136 The Queen Mother's Birthday
In the blink of an eye, Shen Zhuru was comfortable and entangled in the palace.
Comfortable because the things you need to do things will be sent as soon as possible, and what you are entangled in is all kinds of knots, even not limited to the people in the palace, even the ministers of the court have some explicit or implicit expressions of their friendliness.
There is no doubt that these people must be the people under Yu Jinqiong's hands who are watching the dishes and dishes, just to curry favor with Yu Jinqiong.
In this way, Shen Zhuru was in charge of several delicacies in the palace for the birthday of the Queen Mother, and almost without any controversy.
The first is the sweet sago soup prepared for the ladies and dependents, how to get it specifically, Shen Zhuru has taught the people in the palace that it is nothing more than a matter of sequential order and a fire, which is a small problem for the people in the Dim Sum Bureau of the Imperial Dining Room.
In addition, it is a nine-color crystal zongzi, changed to a crystal longevity peach, in order to make the longevity peach form, the mold is indispensable, there are many skilled craftsmen in the palace, directly use bamboo pieces to weave half of the peach mold, put the sago and the filling into it, and then tie the openings on both sides, boil it into the pot, and take it out to cool.
When eating, this is cut directly from the side of the strap, you can get a complete sago candy heart small longevity peach, the water into the pot is also particular, with the edible plants that can be dyed and non-toxic, it is made of sugar overflow, the boiled small zongzi will be packed into the pot by a small gauze bag, basically after boiling, the color of the bag will become gorgeous peach, and the open crystal zongzi will also have different degrees of pink color, which does not look exactly the same.
After the sago longevity peach is cooled out of the pot, tie a peach-shaped small gold medal with the word longevity, which is also a convenient food gift suitable for take-out in addition to food.
These are just minor problems, when Shen Zhuru taught the other party the trick, she didn't need to interfere in the follow-up, she just needed to taste the taste and determine whether it was qualified.
At the beginning, the news that made Gusu Changfeng spread seemed to have encountered some obstacles and was not spread on a large scale, but Shen Zhuru knew from some of Yu Jinqiong's attitudes. The rumor had already reached his ears.
Judging from the fact that Qin Yuxiao was able to appear in the palace from time to time and dangled in front of her a few times, it could be seen that the progress of Princess Hanping's side was also going well.
However, after all, Jade Jinqiong is one of the strong contenders for the heir to the throne, and he is not a person who is easy to lose his proportion. Although he was a little unhappy about the things that Qin Yuxiao and Shen Zhuru said and laughed about, he hid it well.
After all, Qin Yuxiao is a talent, and he is still the current new champion of the department, and his reputation is outside.
It would be great if it could be used for oneself, as for whether women are really that important to Jade Jinqiong. At least before the matter was decided, he was not in a hurry, and while pursuing Shen Zhuru, he also dealt with Qin Yuxiao and tried his best to win him over.
Career and woman, he wants to be right.
Shen Zhuru took care of the affairs in the imperial dining room at noon, and she couldn't interfere with other things at all, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she had stolen half a day's leisure.
Shen Zhuru was about to go back to his residence to rest. waited until the evening to join in the excitement from afar, but I didn't expect that just after walking out of the gate of the imperial dining room, a strange palace grandmother blocked the way.
"The girl is Ruzhu girl?" The mama asked.
"I am. I don't know which palace Mama is from? How to call it? What's the point of finding me? Shen Zhuru asked a few questions in a row, and the corner of his eye swept around, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
"I'm the housekeeper in the Ni Dress Garden, and everyone calls me Mama Su. I came this time to follow the order of the Queen Mother, so that you must be on stage once when you perform tonight. You can only perform by yourself, or be assisted by the dancer Qin Niang from my Ni Xiang Garden, which must be in line with the theme of today's Queen Mother's birthday, so that many guests can enjoy it. As long as the performance is good. The reward is absolutely unimaginable, I hope you will think about it, inform me of the show, and arrange the order of your appearance. ”
Mama Su's words surprised Shen Zhuru a lot. even felt that someone was trying to harm her.
Could it be the handiwork of Princess Hanping?
"Mama Su, I'm just a temporary cook recruited by the second prince, not a dancer or a singer, are you mistaken?"
"Bold. Do you dare to question the decision of the Queen Mother? Don't want to die? Mama Su scolded with a cold face, not joking at all.
"Mama, that's not what I meant. I just thought it was too surprised. I was afraid that I would not be able to do it, so I lost my sense of proportion and said the wrong thing, and I ask my grandmother to forgive me. Shen Zhuru said and immediately took off the gold bracelet on her wrist as an apology, hoping that Mama Su would turn a big thing into a small matter.
Mama Su accepted Shen Zhuru's bracelet in a daze, and her face eased a little.
"When you talk in the palace, you have to pay attention. This is the will of the Queen Mother, even if you can't do it, you have to do it, and you have to do it desperately. Unless you can get the Queen Mother to change her mind. But you don't have to think about it. Now the Queen Mother is busy seeing all the ladies and princes and daughters, and she has no time to see such a small person as you. I advise you not to say anything, and to think about how to solve the problem is the right thing to do. That's all, you're good at it. As for the show you performed, it came over before dark, and I left. ”
Mama Su left, Shen Zhuru frowned, and returned to her residence with a heavy heart.
As soon as I opened the door and entered the flower hall, I saw Gusu Changfeng leaning against the curtain door of the bedroom with a smiling face looking at her.
"Gusu Changfeng, what are you doing? Why did the Queen Mother decree that I should prepare a show in the evening? Do you think I am a person who is qualified to be on the stage of the palace? Could it be that you have a deep hatred for me, so you hurt me like this? Shen Zhuru closed the door, gritted her teeth, lowered her voice, and roared at Gusu Changfeng.
"I fanned the flames according to your intentions, so that Qin Yuxiao and the four princes Jade Jinqiong had a conflict because of you, but this Jade Jinqiong is too deep in thought, and it is not so easy to agitate. However, Princess Hanping saved a lot of trouble. The fake Mu Fenghua lost his words several times, and some rumors that were true or false came into his ears, if there was no accident, the marriage between Mu Fenghua and Princess Hanping would collapse. However, Princess Hanping is not a generous person. Why do you think I am here, it's not that you know that she instigated the Queen Mother to let you perform tonight, and also let people bring a message to Qin Yuxiao that lady about you and Qin Yuxiao. Of course, it's all added to the vinegar. It can be said that once you make a mistake tonight, the other party will fall into the well and put you to death. Even if you can't, see how much of a threat you have, and then plan for the next step. Tsk tsk, you're not in a good situation. Is this self-inflicted? (To be continued.) )
