Duanjing Palace is happy, Qiluo Palace does not have such leisure. In order to compete for this zongzi, Concubine Li racked her brains and was determined to make an extraordinary zongzi. Concubine Li inquired that the other concubines were either jujube paste or honey filling, but she wanted to be unique and make a wild vegetable filling. This wild vegetable is a specialty of Suzhou, and it cannot be eaten in other places.

On this day, she found out that Qing Gege was sent into the palace by the emperor and urged all palaces to make zongzi. Concubine Li and Gege didn't have any festivals, she was extremely clever, and she knew that Qing Gege was loved by the emperor at this time, and she was about to please her. So from early in the morning, she sent the palace maid Jin Wei to carefully find out where Qing Gege had gone, and when did she arrive at Qiluo Palace? At noon, Jin Xuan reported that Qing Gege was having lunch in Duanjing Palace. Concubine Li said in her heart, Qingxiu that woman usually looks very honest, but she doesn't know that she is such a scheming person. She knew that Qing Gege was loved by the emperor, so she took a look at it first.

Concubine Li was thinking in her heart, how to have a relationship with Qing Gege. As long as she has a good relationship with Qing Gege, when Qing Gege sees the emperor on weekdays, she naturally has to say a few good words for her. The emperor walked back to Qiluo Palace a few more times, and her uncompetitive stomach would not rise. Thinking so, she looked at her mediocre lower abdomen again, patted it angrily, and said angrily: "You can fight for it, you have been in the palace for a few years, not to mention the dragon son, there is not even a dragon girl." Do you dare to be angry with my mother? ”

In the midst of depression, Jin Wei said: "Master Li." Grandpa Gao arrived. ”

Concubine Li hurriedly raised a pretty face, only to see that she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pair of crescent eyebrows. A pair of delicate eyes with affection, and a pink and tender mouth, it is really a rare stunner in the world. Concubine Li heard that Gonggong Gao had arrived, got up and said with a smile: "What is he doing at this time?" ”

Jin Wei knew the master's intentions, and said with a smile: "The beauty of the master is outstanding, and it is difficult for anyone to give up when they see it." I'm afraid that my father-in-law doesn't have to serve the emperor at this time, and he is in a hurry to see the master. "Say it. Jin Wei went over and lifted the curtain and welcomed Gao Wuyong into the door.

Gao Wuyong entered the house and still saluted and said: "The old slave asks Concubine Li Niangniang!" ”

Concubine Li flew over, threw out the handkerchief in her hand and slapped it on Gao Wuyong's face. Angry: "Get out of your way, it's like a noisy night, and this time it's serious again." ”

Gao Wuyong smiled and said, "Niangniang taught me a lesson." So to speak. The old slave doesn't have to be serious. "Finished. Regardless of her identity, she pinched Concubine Li's face.

Concubine Li said angrily again: "What are you messing around, aren't you afraid of being seen by people in the daytime?" ”

Jin Wei knew that the master was talking about herself, so she turned around and closed her eyes and smiled: "The slave didn't see anything." ”

Concubine Li held Gao Wuyong's hand, sat down side by side, and asked affectionately, "Have you eaten?" What will the emperor do with me when he doesn't serve this time? ”

Gao Wuyong replied sullenly: "Niangniang also knows that the emperor has recently selected a group of newcomers, and the old slaves are only afraid that they will have to go home to support their old age." ”

Concubine Li said, "Don't say that bad thing. Don't say anything else, just for me. Are you willing to go home? ”

Gao Wuyong said: "The old slave is naturally reluctant to let his mother go, but the emperor really wants to take the old slave home." The old slave is afraid that it will be difficult to stay. ”

At this point, Concubine Li had nothing to comfort, so she had to ask, "Why do you have time to come to me this day?" ”

Gao Wuyong replied: "Don't say it, the old slave almost forgot about the business." The old slave listened to Doctor Song from the Tai Hospital, saying that the people in Duanjing Palace had a headache the day before yesterday, so he asked Doctor Song to take the pulse. The imperial doctor touched the pulse and said that he was afraid that he would be happy. When the old slave heard the news, he hurriedly came over to inform his mother. This is not a trivial matter, and the mother has to plan early. ”

The people of Duanjing Palace are happy! For Concubine Li, this is undoubtedly like five thunderbolts! She entered the palace with Concubine Zhuang, why did she have it before she was pregnant? On weekdays, relying on high-mindedness, the emperor turned over his own brand the most, but why didn't she like it? Her face changed greatly, she shook off Gao Wuyong's hand, slammed a teacup on the table to the ground, and said angrily: "What you said is true? ”

Gao Wuyong knew Concubine Li's temper, but he was also calm, looked at Concubine Li and said, "The old slave has found out the truth, this matter is nine times out of ten." ”

Concubine Li was furious, thought about it, and asked, "Does the emperor know about this matter?" ”

Gao Wuyong replied: "The people of Duanjing Palace are introverted, and the emperor doesn't know about this yet." ”

Concubine Li sneered and said, "The emperor doesn't know that it's just right. ”

Gao Wuyong guessed Concubine Li's thoughts, and asked in a low voice, "What is Niangniang going to do?" ”

Concubine Li gritted her teeth and said, "With her without me!" It's going to have to be done. If her husband is a dragon, it will be difficult to take her again. She said to Jin Wei, "Father-in-law hasn't eaten yet, you go and let the cook prepare some food and bring it up." The golden wisp said yes and bowed out.

The tribe walked away with golden wisps, and Concubine Li waved her hand and said to Gao Wuyong: "I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone, you bring your ears over." ”

Gao Wuyong got up and approached Concubine Li, pricked up his ears, listened carefully, and nodded frequently.

After lunch, the palaces rested for half an hour, and from the time of the first application, the zongzi making competition officially began. The venue of the competition is in the Qingyao Pavilion of the Summer Palace. Qingyao Pavilion is next to Kunming Lake, there is a long corridor on the lake, and there is a pavilion on the corridor, which is called Qingyao Pavilion. On the north side of the pavilion is a large empty field, and the weather is fine at this time, just in time for the competition. The eunuchs brought a number of large square tables from the palace, and various plates were placed on the tables. In the dish are the zongzi carefully made by each palace, and the name of each palace is pasted next to the plate.

As the saying goes, the floating life steals half a day of leisure, Qianlong put off half a day of official business, and naturally wants to come to have fun. The Queen Mother greedily ate two-horned zongzi at noon, and at this time she had abdominal pain, which pushed the trouble. The queen's body was originally weak and indifferent to this excitement. The palace was led by Xian Guifei and presided over by Gege, and the emperor seemed to have come to see the excitement.

Qianlong was accompanied by Gao Wuyong and entered the Qingyao Pavilion. All the palace concubines were busy getting up and saluting. Qianlong smiled and glanced at this group of harem beauties, quite comfortable with the stars holding the moon. He said lightly, get up. Here, the concubine had already straightened her waist, and the warbler chirped and said, "Qing Gege has been prepared." Just wait for the emperor's jade mouth to open, taste it, and set a A, B, and C. so that they can receive the emperor's reward. ”

Qianlong saw that Gege was far away from the concubines, and beckoned and shouted: "If Qing comes here, why are you hiding far away?" ”

Shao Gege walked out and saluted Qianlong. Qianlong said: "No need to be polite, let me ask you, have you seen all these zongzi?" ”

Gege replied: "Back to the emperor, Ruoqing has already checked them one by one. ”

Qianlong asked again: "According to you." Which of these zongzi is the zongzi? ”

Gege replied honestly: "If you want to talk about the appearance alone, you naturally have to be regarded as a noble concubine." Concubine Xian smiled and said a word of thanks to Gege.

But Concubine Li also admitted: "What Qing Gege said is not bad at all. The words are like their people. Xian Guifei looks good, and this zongzi also looks good. ”

Qianlong said with a smile: "People say that words are like people, and words are like people, but have you never heard of Zongru like people?" ”

Concubine Li shook her head slightly. The hairpin on the head of the flag trembled and swayed. She said: "It is said that man is the spirit of all things. People have sensing. Heaven will answer. Just like today's prosperous times, the emperor is wise, and the world is naturally smooth. In exchange for our fat powder pile, it is natural that people are handsome, and the things in their hands are pleasant to the eye. The emperor said, is the concubine's words right? ”

Concubine Li deserves to be Concubine Li, she flattered the emperor in only three or two sentences, but she also praised the concubine. Qianlong naturally nodded and said yes again and again. Even the concubine's face was happy to become a flower.

After the laughter. Qianlong returned to the previous topic and asked Gege again: "You just talked about the quality of zongzi, but what about the taste of zongzi?" ”

Gege replied, "Exactly." But when it comes to the quality of zongzi, it is naturally the concubine's zongzi that is the leader, but if you want to talk about the taste of zongzi, Ruoqing thinks that it should be the master of the Li first. ”

As soon as she said this, Concubine Li hurriedly waved her little hand and said, "Qing Gege is too much to lift me up!" The sisters are clever, and it would be good if I could do one in 10,000 of the sisters. ”

Gege said: "Master Li doesn't need to be modest. Ruoqing was entrusted by the emperor, how dare she be perfunctory? Ruoqing tasted the zongzi of each palace one by one, including jujube paste filling, red date filling, and ingenuity to make fruit filling, but if you want to say that the mountain and wild vegetable stuffing is the first time Ruoqing has tasted it. The wild vegetables have their own fragrance, and the glutinous rice is soft and sweet, but the taste is the first in the palace. The emperor tasted it and knew it. ”

Qianlong sighed and said, "Hearing Ruoqing say this, it can arouse my appetite." Come, bring Concubine Li's zongzi for me to taste. ”

This kind of thing was originally done by the little eunuch, but when he heard the emperor praise Concubine Li's zongzi for doing well, Gao Wuyong was happy in his heart, and personally went over to peel one of the zongzi in Concubine Li's plate, and he was going to give it to the emperor to eat.

Qianlong slowly tasted it, swallowed it and said, "Ruoqing is fair!" I've never eaten such a unique rice dumpling. Speaking of which, Concubine Li is really ingenious! ”

Concubine Li bent her knees and lightly blessed her, thanking the emperor for her grace. Qianlong opened his mouth and said: "In this way, it is difficult for the concubine and the concubine to distinguish between the two zongzi, so I will reluctantly make it difficult, how about letting them tie for the top?" ”

The concubine and the concubine thanked each other together. According to Gege's judgment, the second place belongs to Wei Guiren, and the third place is Concubine Shu, and Concubine Zhuang, who is good friends with her, doesn't even have a chance to be named. Concubine Zhuang naturally didn't care, she didn't care much about this kind of thing. But there was one person who was not happy, and this person was the concubine who had won the leader. She frowned and said, "The concubine thinks that Qing Gege is unfair!" ”

Qianlong sighed again and asked in surprise, "How is it unfair?" Tell me about it. ”

Concubine Li's face turned red, rubbed her stomach and said coquettishly: "Don't hide it from the emperor, the concubine has a sour mouth these days, has a bad appetite, and doesn't want to eat." In the afternoon today, the Zongzi of the owner of the village was done well, and I ate three or five more. It's not that the concubines boast, the owner's zongzi are sweet but not greasy, but they have to be counted as the best products. ”

Qianlong glanced at Concubine Zhuang among the beauties and said, "It's natural for you to say it!" Here, bring it to me and let me taste it! ”

The little eunuch hurriedly found Concubine Zhuang's plate, and also peeled a zongzi and gave it to the emperor to eat. The emperor was just about to take over the zongzi, but Gao Wuyong grabbed it and yelled slowly!
