Chapter 19: Inside the Palace
86_86270 When I returned to the yard at night, it was late at night, so I went to see Xiaoxiao first, and suddenly remembered my brother Hong Lie, and asked Shui Ling to find out the night clothes, and took two still hot buns from the kitchen pot, because I was usually used to leaving her some supper in the pot, and I was afraid that she would come back late and hungry. After dressing up, he sneaked into the eldest lady's Tangli Courtyard with a bun, and according to the experience of the last time, he quickly found Qin Honglie's house, but fortunately, there was only one maid who kept vigil in the middle of the night, and he was still asleep at the door.
She pried open the bedroom window, climbed in, came to her brother's bed, looked at the sallow smiling face and sighed: "If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather." Then gently woke up Hong Lie, Hong Lie opened his eyes and just wanted to call, Qin Mengdie covered his mouth and said, "I'm my sister, I'm coming to see you, don't make a sound, if you call someone, I won't be able to come again." ”
Qin Honglie blinked and nodded with big eyes, Qin Mengdie let go of his hand and took out the bun from his arms: "The bun that my sister brought you, you taste it, my sister will often come to see you in the future, but you must not let people know, and don't let people spend the night with you in your house, otherwise I won't be able to come in." ”
Hong Lie took a bite of the bun, and his smiling eyes bent into crescents: "Sister, I like you, you ignored me before, I am very sad, you will come to see me often in the future, this is really delicious." ”
"If it's delicious, you can eat more, and I'll take the rest away, otherwise others will find out and it will be bad, but my sister will often bring you delicious food, don't worry."
Seeing Hong Lie's dependence on herself, she suddenly felt close, maybe it was the blood relationship of this body, she remembered the medicine Hong Lie took and asked, "Hong Lie, do you have the medicine you often take?" I think there is something wrong with the medicine, there is no medicine that gets more and more emaciated the more I take it. ”
Hong Lie shook his head and said, "It's all my aunt who gave me food, and I took it away after eating." ”
"Then can you sneak one away next time? Sister will come to get it in a few days, do you believe my sister? ”
"I believe my sister, because I once heard the eldest aunt and the second sister say that the eldest sister is a fool, they lied to you that I killed my mother, and you believed it, and the eldest aunt also said that if there is another boy in the future, she will deal with me, and I don't know what to do with it, but I know it's not a good word."
Qin Mengdie looked at her younger brother sadly, hugged him in her arms and said, "Hong Lie, don't worry, my sister has a way to take you out in the future, you can endure it for a while, okay?" “
"Well, I believe in my sister." His young body snuggled greedily into Qin Mengdie.
After coaxing her younger brother to sleep, she sneaked to the vicinity of her aunt's room to take a look, and then went to look around Qin Mengxin's bedroom, and only after getting familiar with the environment did she go back to her yard.
Early in the morning, when she was still asleep, Shan Xing ran in and shouted, "Miss, the tunnel has been dug through, you go and have a look." ”
Qin Mengdie put on her clothes and excitedly went into the tunnel, the entrance here was under the wardrobe of the east side room, extremely hidden, and when she went down the tunnel, she saw Wang Dali carrying a lantern in front, bending down and following him for about sixty or seventy steps before she saw the exit, and the exit here was even more hidden, it was a dry well.
Qin Mengdie didn't go out and said: "It's good, it's convenient for us to do anything in the future, my women's clothes are not suitable for going out, I'll let Shui Ling change into men's clothes after a while, you go out to buy some soft and clean up, what about this tunnel, you can go in and expand it when you have time, it's more convenient to walk." But don't worry, just get through. ”
"Well, don't worry, I will do what Miss explains."
Back to the courtyard, Qin Mengdie asked Shui Ling to change into men's clothes, and gave her fifty taels of silver, and asked her and Wang Dali to buy things to decorate the new house, and she and Shanxing went back to the yard to write, laughing and playing, thinking that it would be convenient for her to enter and exit in the future, and she was very happy, but she thought that it would be less than a year before she was married, and she was also afraid in her heart, that is the son of the prime minister, even if it is not the eldest son, but it is inevitable that there will be three wives and four concubines in the future, think about it as a headache, but this identity will inevitably marry a person with status in the future, But in this era, there is harmony and separation, if you really don't like it, you will be reconciled and divorced, and you can support yourself anyway, it doesn't matter.
Inside the palace in the evening
Derong Palace, Mo Wenyuan instructed the kitchen to prepare the ingredients and seasonings for the hot pot, Concubine De looked like a little girl in her early twenties when she was over thirty, she was dressed in a light blue palace dress, and the corners of her skirt were embroidered with fine cherry blossom petals. A jasper hairpin on her head, decorated with thin silver silk beaded tassels, thin powder on her face, holding peanuts with her own hands, elegant movements, she raised her head to look at Mo Wenyuan: "Yuan'er, your pot is really unique, clean and tight, we didn't often eat pots in the palace before, your friend's invention is really excellent, your father will like it when he sees it." ”
"Of course, my friend has a lot of ideas, and I will bring some new things to my mother in a few days, and my father must be reluctant to leave your courtyard!"
"I don't want to fight for anything, just like I taught you, as long as you have good intentions and don't fight or grab, you will naturally live happily."
"What Concubine De said, I just like to hear it, what kind of fresh food did this fifth person get, let me see!" The emperor walked in in a dragon robe with a gentle face.
"See the Emperor (Father)" Everyone in the courtyard performed the proper salute.
"Let's all be flat, the fifth child will come over and tell me how to eat this pot." turned around and saw Concubine De who was peeling peanuts: "Wan'er, why did you peel peanuts for me by yourself, just let someone peel them." ”
"The concubines have nothing to do, peeling peanuts can be regarded as relieving boredom, and the emperor doesn't give the concubines this little fun?" Concubine De was jokingly coquettish.
"I just like your character, I say that everything I do for others is for myself, and the fifth child also follows your character, not fighting or grabbing, I only feel comfortable when I come to you."
Mo Wenyuan pulled the emperor to sit down: "Father, you see that this pot is called hot pot, put charcoal fire on the bottom, this meat is cut into thin slices, you can take the meat or vegetables in the pot by yourself, and you can eat it when the meat changes color, the most important thing is that this dipping sauce is very unique, you can try it quickly, there are several seasonings that will have to wait for next month to be made, but now the taste is also very good." ”
The emperor sandwiched a piece of meat and soaked it in the pot, dipped it in the dipping sauce and took a bite: "It's delicious, it's different from the past, this dipping sauce is fragrant but not greasy, and it's very familiar, like sesame seeds." ”
"My father is very good, that is, the sesame seeds are ground into sauce, sesame paste, my friend makes tofu, and it is said that it is made to taste more unique. I told my father that I wanted to open a restaurant and a hot pot restaurant, and it was all my friend's craft, and my father also knew that I was not interested in business or power, but I just liked food and new things. If I open a shop, my father won't like it, right? ”
"Silly boy, my father still doesn't know you, let it go, your eldest brother has run so many shops in private, I don't know? As far as you are dead-eyed, tell your father what you do, by the way, why haven't you seen that kid from King Xiang these days? ”
"Rainy Night has recently been obsessed with the dishes of my friend's restaurant, and his chefs have saved haha!"
"You two foodies, study food every day, fortunately, now the country is safe and secure, otherwise this general is gluttonous every day, how can he lead his troops to fight?"
"Father, rest assured, he is doing what he should do on rainy nights, he is a good courtier who is loyal to his father, but he is a little greedy."
Concubine De saw that the father and son were chatting happily and did not speak, and sandwiched the dishes between the two of them. After eating, Mo Wenyuan accompanied the emperor to play a game of chess, and it was not good to disturb his parents' two-person world, so he withdrew and left the palace
