The weather in August is hot and spicy to roast people can't stand it, only wearing a thin shirt but a moment of sweating, the hot day is the fastest selling of herbal tea, the hot day has no appetite herbal tea occupies the protagonist, there are restaurants will be flexible will be fried hot dishes first and let cool on the table, the cooking techniques are slightly improved, to avoid big fish and big meat, hot dishes become greasy and can not be swallowed.

Some restaurants choose another method for dishes such as big fish and meat, and directly use the method of cold dressing, the ingredients are cooked and mixed with condiments, the aroma is compelling, and the mouth is excellent, and it can also be made into lo-mei and is even more delicious.

In the palace, I accompanied my father to lunch, although there were many dishes on the table, I couldn't taste much delicious, and the weather was hot and stuffy, and I had no appetite.

"Why don't you fit it?" Mu Haoyu asked.

"Weather Relations." Although the clothes are thin, there are still two or three layers, and I can't take them off, and I feel a little irritable in my heart, and the dishes in the imperial dining room are almost the same, if only I could have one or two dishes.

"Use a little more, it's time to grow your body." Mu Haoyu added a pair of chopsticks to his youngest daughter.

There is no habit of wasting food, knowing that food is not easy to come by, if it is not for the regulations in the palace, the dishes on the plate can not be moved, but it is a pity to reward the palace people.

"What do you want to eat?" Mu Haoyu was distressed when he saw that he only used a small bowl of rice, and he didn't move a few chopsticks for other dishes.

Shaking his head, there was nothing special to eat, "Some snacks." "Hungry and delicious.

Mu Haoyu instructed Li Desheng, "Bring some sour plum soup." "It's just right to eat with snacks.

After a while, the plates on the table were removed, and a large pot of sour plum soup and six plates of dim sum were placed.

I filled a small bowl for my father, and I drank a bowl for myself, and the slightly cool sour plum soup entered the stomach, the sweet and sour taste was very appetizing, and a few pieces of dim sum were used. I feel that my stomach is eight points full, and I don't use it anymore.

Standing up and walking around to eliminate food, he suddenly remembered that Mu Jinming had mentioned yì that his father didn't use much for each meal. The imperial dining room does not cook according to the taste and preferences of the father, and some dishes are not suitable for the father's weak body. Poor emperor is so miserable that he has to endure it if he wants to eat.

Nowadays, there is a lot of time left every day in addition to reading books, is it like Mu Jin Mingti yì to learn a craft, there is a saying, the skills are not pressing, and it is for the sake of the father, I think this method is feasible.

After a little thought, it is a question of who learns to cook. There are many people in the palace and it is inconvenient, this matter is to be kept secret, think about it, the two little eunuchs in his house are the most suitable, they don't need to be exquisite, they are palatable, and they are not really cooks.

As for the place to cook, I chose to choose the small courtyard where I lived when I was a child, which was private and safe and behind the Longhua Palace, and I could do what I wanted to eat.

"What do you think?" Mu Haoyu saw that his little daughter was distracted, so he asked.

"Eat." I am thinking about whether I have the ability to learn well. Cooking is as talented as cooking, when will I be able to become a teacher?

"Why are you hungry?" No, I just used dim sum for less than an hour. Mu Haoyu raised his eyebrows and expressed puzzlement.

"Or do you want to eat outside?" The food outside is indeed more delicious than that in the palace, Mu Haoyu felt that her little daughter was wronged and didn't eat enough to accompany her to eat, "Do you need to ask someone to buy some back?" ”

"No, you don't." Waving his hand, he said, "I'm wondering if I'm talented." So he said that he was thinking about learning to cook.

Mu Haoyu immediately laughed when he heard this, "Okay, my father will definitely appreciate his face when he makes it." "No matter how bad it is, it is the income of the little daughter's hard work, and as a father, she should support it.

"Then I'll be here every day at lunchtime." I took time out of the morning to study, and by noon I was making dishes for my father to taste.

"If you like it." Mu Haoyu smiled and touched the top of his hair, thinking that it was a good thing to have a new interest. In the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, only the book can be handled, and as for the female red who learned later, the small objects are excellent. There are not many large objects to do, and embroidery is wasteful and time-consuming. There is no reason to have extra time to spare.

The quietness gave Mu Haoyu a headache for a while, unlike other girls who have taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood to the point that they are all proficient, except for reading books and practicing swords, they rarely pay attention to anything else, which caused Mu Haoyu to worry for a while, until the situation of the female red can take it slightly better.

Mu Haoyu asked carefully about his thoughts, and instructed Li Desheng to vacate a room in the small garden for the kitchen owner, what should be prepared, this matter should be avoided from being known to others, and it is up to Li Desheng to make his own ideas when purchasing.

Go back to the Wing Mansion to practice first, and when you have the ability, you can show your hands in the small kitchen in the back, and you don't need to do it every day, just improve the taste occasionally.

I didn't help to read it today, so I went to the library and picked out two books of interest, and returned to the imperial study to read them.

likes to read miscellaneous books, Mu Haoyu smiled dotingly when he saw it, whether it was true or not, the youngest daughter didn't care much about it, she didn't read many serious books, and she wondered where the ideas that came up from time to time came from.

When I was tired of reading, I put the book on the table casually, closed my eyes and recuperated, and when I couldn't hear the sound of my father flipping the fold, I opened my eyes and got up and walked to my father's side.

"Done?" Asked casually, and glanced at the folds piled up on the imperial case.

"Hmm." After looking at it for a long time, his eyes were pantothenic, and Mu Haoyu raised his hand to rub it, and it took a while to get used to it.

"Let's go." Turning his head to see the sky outside, the white clouds obscured the sun, and it didn't look so hot.

"Where are you going?" Mu Haoyu is curious, isn't the youngest daughter going out of the palace?

"It's not good for your health to go out for a walk, to sit loosely and quickly." You have to go outside.

"Imperial Garden?" There is no doubt that the only place he can go to is the palace, and it is not easy for Mu Haoyu to get out of the palace as the emperor, and it is inevitable that he will have to return to the palace after going out for a trip in the afternoon.

"Hmm." also knew that his father couldn't go anywhere, so he couldn't help sighing, "It's so tiring to be an emperor." "Why are some people willing to hesitate to do anything, if you really sit on the power, you have enjoyment but there is not much left, and you are tired and have to pretend to be unfathomable.

"There's no way." Mu Haoyu smiled helplessly, "Tongjin who holds the power should also pay the corresponding price, how can you do what you want, there must be something to give." ”

"Does Father feel reciprocal?" After understanding what his father needs to do, he can't agree, "Sacrificing one's own preferences for power, joy and anger, or even freedom?" ”

"There is so much hesitation in the royal family." Mu Haoyu once thought of being an idle prince, he could travel to various places and walk through the great mountains and rivers one by one. This life should also be complete, but everything is unpredictable, and finally gave up a qiē to carry the burden on his shoulders.

"A thousand words, just one word, I can't help myself." Mu Haoyu evoked memories of his youth. "Being in the royal family is a blessing and a curse, and at a young age, you must learn to know etiquette and avoid harm. If you don't fight, no one will believe it, this dragon chair is too tempting to let go. The competition for the throne of the ancient princes is often bloody, and the sibling affection is all vulgar, and the competition for the throne of this generation will not be too fierce. ”

"When I sat on the throne, I found out that I was alone." One sentence goes straight to the essence, sighing, "What's the use of holding the power of life and death, what is lost can no longer be replaced." ”

Mu Haoyu smiled faintly and said, "Yes, my father can't count it." "It's always more to lose than to gain. It can't be measured in words.

"I'm worried about the future of my brother." Tears of sympathy for Mu Jinming, it is not easy to be an emperor.

"Huh." Mu Haoyu chuckled, "What are you worried about, maybe he's enjoying it." "The youngest son likes to toss people, and it should be the courtiers below who should be worried about ascending the throne in the future.

"Fighting with people every day, you will get tired when the days are long." I don't think Mu Jinming will like to rise and fall in the whirlpool of power for the rest of his life.

"Don't talk about this, it's not like you're going to the Imperial Garden." It's too early to say this, the two children are still young, Mu Haoyu didn't want to instill bad things, so he changed the topic.

"Let's go." I don't remember it very much.

Walk beside my father. followed by Li Desheng and a large number of palace maids and eunuchs, some with food boxes and some with chessboards, none of them empty-handed, in case of emergency.

It's a big turn. When you enter the pavilion to enjoy the coolness, you will immediately put melons, fruits, snacks, tea and other things on the table, and a soft cushion will not feel cold on the stone bench.

Leaving two palace maids to play fans, the rest of the people withdrew from the pavilion and listened to the orders outside the pavilion, and the pavilion was not big, and too many people seemed to be hotter.

"Your Royal Highness the Grape Emperor who is paying tribute below, please use it." Li Desheng personally brought a large plate of purple-black large and plump grapes to the table.

Li Desheng was about to call two palace maids to come in and peel the grape skins, but stopped him.

"Not necessarily." I don't believe in the palace maid, it is better to be cautious in extraordinary times, I called water to wash my hands, wiped dry with a handkerchief, and peeled the grapes.

It's good that it's big. It's too small, and there's not much flesh to peel it off, and it's soft on the plate, and you lose your appetite just by looking at it.

Put the peeled ones on an empty plate and use them with a small silver fork. With a few flexible fingers, I peeled off several of them, and tasted them at random, with a sweet taste and a slight sourness, which was very palatable.

"Your Majesty, please use it." When you go to a place where there are many people outside, you change your words.

Eating the grapes peeled by his little daughter, Mu Haoyu felt beautiful in his heart. "You don't have to peel too much, you can use it too."

I peeled a bunch, stopped to wash my hands, held a small fork and ate it, the flesh was thick and crispy, and it was very good.

"Mother, ...... over there" The palace maid Taoqian followed Concubine Yuan to visit the imperial garden, and happened to see a lot of palace maids and eunuchs standing outside the pavilion.

"Your Majesty?" Concubine Yuan never thought that she would meet the emperor once, so she turned around and walked towards the pavilion.

A bunch of grapes two people share not much, and then clean the hand to peel another bunch, eat more grapes is good, Su Ri rarely see the father eat fruit, that is, if you like to use more.

"The emperor's concubine has arrived." Li Desheng is well-informed.

The pavilion was built on a high place, and at a glance, you could see a group of people coming from afar, and when you got closer, some of the people who recognized it would be identified.

Yuan Guifei took Tao Qian into the pavilion and bowed, "The emperor is blessed." ”

Yuan Guifei caught a glimpse of the Wing King beside the emperor out of the corner of her eye, although she was extremely unwilling to return to the identity of the different, and saluted the Wing King again.

"How can the Wing King do it himself, there are piles of palace maids standing outside." Yuan Guifei saw that King Yi was peeling grapes and thought that she was eating it herself, and she didn't want to put the plate in front of the emperor, so she didn't need to say anything.

I don't want to pay attention to the women in the harem, and every word I say has a certain meaning, and no, I'm tired of talking and panicking.

The Wing King hung his head and only cared about the work in his hands, and did not mean to speak, and the Yuan Guifei who opened her mouth was immediately not embarrassed, and secretly hated that no one in the Wing King's eyes was too presumptuous, and there was no trace of affection on her face, only a shallow and appropriate smile.

It's too fake, the corner of his eye swept away to give a judgment, the first time he saw the eldest prince and concubine at close range, it gave people the feeling that it was fake, and the smile on his face seemed to have been carefully measured with a ruler. On the contrary, it is unnatural, and the purpose of laughing is to give people a cordial and comfortable feeling, like Yuan Guifei. It hurts to see people's teeth.

Yuan Guifei stood for a short time and didn't see the emperor's seat, and her heart was even more unhappy. I thought it was the emperor who was there, but I didn't expect that the annoying king of the wings was also there, and he also had a posture to please the emperor, which was really disgusting.

Yuan Guifei thought for a moment that she couldn't stand like this all the time, and said with a smile: "The concubine helps the emperor peel grapes." As he spoke, he sat opposite the emperor, and was just about to reach out to take it, when he heard a voice of disgust.

"No need, the emperor has used a string." The concubines in the harem who are secretly scheming will not be allowed to touch things that should not be touched. My father's body is now assassinated by the harem concubines, how can he repeat the mistakes of the past again.

"The concubine has a heart." Mu Haoyu put down the small fork in his hand and said that he was no longer using it.

Yuan Guifei's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and she took her palm and secretly cursed the fox spirit of the Wing King.

I rarely speak outside, and I have a lot more scruples in the public, and the palace is a restless place, and a person has several eyes, so I have to guard against it.

Mu Haoyu can't lose the emperor's shelf outside, and the relationship with him is seemingly intimate, which leads to reverie, and it is a bit of a suspicion of being too close to him. It's too far away and not enough to show the love for the Wing King, and this degree is not very easy to grasp.

Fortunately, joy and anger are not good, and people can't see through it. Mu Haoyu is a little pampered, so he won't be too suspicious.

The Wing King was silent on his face, and the emperor only cared about the Wing King, and the smile on the face of the Yuan Guifei sitting on the stone bench was a little unbearable.

Yuan Guifei wanted to say something to break this suffocating silence, but she moved her lips and couldn't spit out a word, she couldn't find the words to speak.

In less than a moment, Concubine Yuan couldn't sit still, the dull atmosphere surrounded her side, and her blocked heart couldn't breathe, as if she shouldn't have broken into the atmosphere where the Wing King and the emperor were alone.

It's just a moment, but it seems that a long time has passed, and Yuan Guifei is really unhappy in her heart. Do you want to stay on your own?

Go back, it's easy to meet the emperor. Don't even say a word of tenderness, is it worth discarding a great opportunity? Not back. Sitting here and unable to say half a word, watching the emperor show tenderness to the Wing King, like a knife cut, originally came out to enjoy the scenery, but the scenery was not appreciated by himself to go back with a belly of evil fire, what is the picture?

"It's not early." Too lazy to look at Yuan Guifei's smirked face, there are outsiders who need to be careful everywhere, and they are too tired to go back.

Yuan Guifei hadn't thought about whether to go back or not, and King Yi came first, as if he had done something bad and good, and was pushing himself away.

"Hmm." Mu Haoyu looked at Yuan Guifei and saw the changing color of her eyes, which was quite interesting.

The main lord is going to go back, Concubine Yuan's face is hot and painful as if she has been slapped, the emperor is actually taking the words of the wing king first, where should she, the lord of the first palace, be the emperor's wife.

"Congratulations to the emperor." Yuan Guifei was not in a state of rudeness.

When the emperor walked away until he was gone, the Yuan Guifei in the pavilion tore a silk handkerchief angrily, and still knew that the outside was not as good as his own palace, and he also needed to look at the place when he was angry.

"Master." Tao Qianji is very good at observing words and feelings, and he can see the small actions of the emperor and the Yiwang with his own eyes, so it is strange that Yuan Guifei is not angry.

"Go back to the palace." Yuan Guifei cleaned up the exposed feelings, smoothed out the folds that did not exist on the placket, and took a group of palace people back to her Yuanxi Palace.

There is a little wind and grass in the palace that can't hide the concubines in the harem, and when it is known that Yuan Guifei happened to meet the emperor, the secret Yuan Guifei is lucky, and no one dares to gossip because of Yuan Guifei's great prestige.

Although Yuan Guifei is now out of power, the title of the concubine is still there, and there is a big prince by her side, how many concubines in the harem can give birth to heirs, and there is no son and half a daughter who wants to have wings and always have to consider the consequences.

Although the concubines of the harem can't be said to be wise and foolish, they are a lot smarter, and they know the importance of the advantages and avoid the disadvantages, and if they want to live for a long time, they need to understand the survival rules of the harem.

The emperor has not entered the harem for a long time, and there is not much need to fight for favor or not, even if Concubine Yuan sees the emperor, there will be no more favor in the past, there is nothing to be jealous of. (To be continued)
