The queen pointed to the refreshments and said, "Sister's new mung bean cake from the imperial dining room, try it." ”

Yulian subconsciously looked at the Queen Mother, she really couldn't believe the queen who had assassinated her many times. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's summons, Yulian wouldn't want to see a sudden enemy, a feud between life and death. Seeing that the queen mother nodded slightly, the palace maid behind her picked up a piece of mung bean cake and sent it to Yulian.

The mung bean cake is slightly sweet in the mouth, and it exudes a faint mung bean fragrance in the mouth, mixed with various wonderful flavors. For the first time, I felt that mung bean cake, which can be eaten by ordinary people, can still have such a wonderful taste, and the aftertaste in my mouth has not dissipated for a long time.

Seeing Yulian's satisfied appearance, the concubine who had said the wrong thing before showed a look of disdain. Do you naturally know the identity of Yulian, the beauty of the first emperor? is not only a secret thing that everyone in the palace does not say, but the ministers of the court and the central government know better that Yulian's second entry into the palace erases the royal face.

There has been no clear provision for this month-long dispute. In particular, Yulian of the Ministry of Rites entered the palace for the second time, and called the emperor not cultivating virtue and politics, and collided with Emperor Xiao Yin in the court many times. It is called the Pingnan army over the years, and after the dispatch of Eastern Wu officials, the third thing that made Emperor Xiao Yin distressed.

In order to appease the canonization of the title of Yulian concubine in the court, Xiao Yin even took out the holy decree left by the emperor. Just blocked the officials who didn't care too much about this matter, and the Ministry of Rites always bit this matter and did not let go. On the contrary, Xun Sizhan, who should have been canonized as a jade concubine by Yulian and had the most relevance, never had a clear position, but Yulian tried his best to prevent it before entering the palace.

Concubine Su pushed Concubine Yi beside her, and Concubine Yi, who had always spoken the least, spoke: "How does my sister taste?" ”

It's the first time I've seen Concubine Yi, and since I call my sister, I'm naturally not a concubine. Holding the mung bean cake in his hand, he said, "It's delicious, it's not the same as the mung bean cake you imagined." The mouth is delicate and sweet, with several different variations on the tip of the tongue. ”

has always been jealous of the concubines, and the most jealous before Yulian was Concubine Yi. was born in the same way, Concubine Yi, who had few words, was canonized as a concubine, and she was just a concubine. There was a huge gap between the two before, but Concubine Yi didn't fight or grab. makes the authority of a concubine and a concubine is really not small. The saddest thing is that Concubine Yi has been in the palace for two years, and His Majesty has only been pampered once, and she still has not conceived a dragon, so Concubine Yi is more comfortable.

Without waiting for Concubine Yi to answer, Concubine Su preemptively spoke: "Mung bean cake is Concubine Yi's sister's hometown pastry, and recently a Qingzhou imperial chef came to the palace, so she was blessed." ”

Hearing the word Qingzhou, Yulian's heart was warm, and she asked casually: "My sister is also from Qingzhou." ”

The concubine who wanted to see Yulian make a fool of herself was stunned, but she didn't expect that Yulian not only mentioned the mung bean cake again, but mentioned Qingzhou. Concubine Yi only knew that the jade concubine in front of her was the beauty of the former emperor, and the rest was just some hearsay, whether she could believe it or not. asked curiously: "Could it be that my sister is also from Qingzhou, that county." ”

Yulian said: "I am from Qinghe County, and I can't compare to my sister's life experience. ”

Hearing that Yulian said that it was Concubine Yi of Qinghe County, she showed a regretful look and said: "My sister has ever heard that there is a peach blossom village in Qinghe County, and when I was a child, my father would often buy some peach blossom wine. It's a pity that five years ago, the Chu army will be in Peach Blossom Village

It was burned, the people of Peach Blossom Village were displaced, and it was a pity that the rare peach blossoms in the world were lost. ”

Speaking of the concubine on the edge of the peach blossom brew, she said: "I heard that Concubine Yu opened a restaurant in the palace to sell peach blossom brew, and Sister Yi has tasted it." The queen, who knew the truth, showed a disdainful look, and had not investigated Yulian actually using the makeup of the daughter of the Peach Blossom Building, and the Peach Blossom Fairy mocked.

Concubine Yi glanced at the concubine and said, "Daughter makeup, the peach blossom fairy is the same as the peach blossom brewing process in Peach Blossom Village, but the taste is much different." The peach blossom brew in Peach Blossom Village is more mellow, and every time it enters the throat, it leaves a fragrant mouth, and it is unforgettable. ”

I saw which concubine and concubine showed disdainful eyes, but Yulian said: "My daughter's makeup is better, and the girl who has not left the pavilion needs to pick flowers, and the peach blossom fairy is not so particular." The two are always a little worse than the peach blossom brew, but in fact, the process year is the same. ”

A few simple words aroused Concubine Yi's curiosity, and she asked curiously: "My sister has tasted the peach blossom brew in Peach Blossom Village." ”

The Queen Mother watched the conversation between the two daughters-in-law who were not good at talking, and did not disturb but instructed the palace maid to bring the peach blossoms that had been treasured for a long time. Xiao Yin, who was the crown prince on the birthday of the first emperor, was dedicated to the emperor as a birthday gift, and there were not many left in the village, and there were also queen mothers and collections in the entire palace.

After a conversation with Yulian, the two seemed to open the conversation box, talking endlessly about their hometown, and naturally the peach blossom brew in Peach Blossom Village was indispensable. The queen sat quietly beside the queen mother and talked about some interesting things that had happened in the palace recently, and did not disturb the two fellows who met in a foreign land.

The concubine who wanted to see Yulian's jokes had to listen quietly to the two of you, and I said it. During the conversation, Yulian could say a thing or two in addition to the scenery of Qinghe County back then, and she was even better than Taiping City in the whole Qingzhou.

Concubine Yi said suddenly: "It turns out that my sister is from Peach Blossom Village, no wonder she can make such a good wine as her daughter's makeup." It's just a pity that the peach blossom brew can never be tasted again in my lifetime. ”

The several concubines sitting there heard that Yulian personally told her background, but she was just a country girl in Peach Blossom Village, and she was fortunate to be favored by His Majesty. It's just that she is young and beautiful, and in a few years, she will be old and decrepit, and what can she do if she is a concubine in the palace without heirs.

As soon as Concubine Su thought of this, she subconsciously looked at Yulian's abdomen, and she hated it in her heart. God has never been fair, to be favored by His Majesty, and to conceive a dragon son. The more he looked at Yulian's slightly clenched belly, the more jealous his heart became heavier. said with a smile: "In addition to making wine in the countryside, Yu Guifei usually does something. The word country was said very seriously, with a disdainful tone.

are all famous ladies, but listening to Yulian say some interesting things about the mountains and wilderness, people are more curious, the queen mother tasted tea and looked at Yulian did not care about the deliberate provocation of the concubine, but said that she had a hard life in her hometown when she was a child. Some people listened to it sincerely, and some people were extremely disdainful.

Concubine Su looked at it in her heart: It's just a country girl, talking about picking flowers and fetching water. What else can you understand besides being beautiful, I don't understand any rules here in the Queen Mother.

Just as Yulian was talking about the interesting story she had with Sister Xiuwen, she suddenly thought that he was still there in her hometown. Those days were short, though

For the time being, it is the best time in memory. Although Concubine Yi asked from time to time, Yulian's thoughts often wandered beyond the nine heavens.

The palace maid in the distance dragged an ordinary wine jar over, and the Queen Mother asked Yulian, "Do you know what kind of wine this is?" ”

Saying that the palace maid had opened the wine jar, Concubine Yi was first surprised: "The queen mother is the peach blossom brew of Peach Blossom Village, and the concubine thought that Peach Blossom Village would never be seen again after it was burned." ”

The Queen Mother nodded lightly and looked at Yulian, who looked at the wine jar and couldn't help but think of Mrs. Lu, who was not a master. Said softly: "This is the peach blossom brew I brewed in Huangqu, which is the birthday gift of His Majesty to congratulate the emperor on his birthday." ”

In Concubine Yi's curious eyes, the Queen Mother's personal maid had already dispersed the peach blossom brew to the side of Concubine Yi. The queen mother has a different way of treating Yulian, and the queen sees it in her eyes. Raising the wine glass to Yulian and said, "I borrowed my sister's light today, otherwise the queen mother would be reluctant to take out the peach blossom brew." ”

Everyone drank it all, and Concubine Yi asked, "The peach blossom brew is brewed by my sister, I don't know if there is still a treasure." ”

The open-mouthed concubine said: "Since Concubine Yu can brew peach blossom brew, she will not have it in one brew." ”

In fact, not only Concubine Yi cares, but even the Queen Mother cares about the peach blossom brewed by Yulian. But he didn't expect Yulian to say: "Ordinary peach blossom brew can still be brewed, and this peach blossom brew has become a masterpiece." The reason for this is difficult to say. ”

Concubine Su showed disdainful eyes, not because she was unwilling to do these rough jobs. The Queen Mother had heard the prince explain the process of peach blossom brewing, and she didn't understand what Yulian said. It's not that as a concubine, you don't want to do these rough jobs, maybe there are other reasons.

Near noon, the heavy snow stopped, and the Queen Mother glanced at the white expanse. Concubine Su got up and said: "Such a beautiful view, but drinking lacks fun." The queen mother's concubine was poetic and composed a poem to help the fun. Seeing that the Queen Mother nodded slightly, Concubine Su got up and walked to the edge of the corridor with the support of the palace maid.

"The tall branches of the trees are boundless, and I don't hear the sound of birds. Counting on the red wall to be snowy, the sound of twisting fingers is endless. "Affectionate recitation. The Queen Mother nodded lightly and said: "The concubine is worthy of being a scholarly family, and she said it in just a few words. ”

The concubine sat down happily, and then several concubines wrote poems one after another, but they did not come casually like the concubines, but the queen and Yulian did not move. The fire and heat are radiated, and the palace maid recites the poems written by several concubines. But Concubine Yi is different from the concubines, she does not write poems but writes a handful of words.

Ben is not good at reciting poems and lyrics, so he can only write a poem head-on. "The cold wind is a pity, and the cold weather is more stoves. The wind often gathers together, and the snow ends, cherish, cherish, and drink a peach blossom. ”

After reading a poem "Like a Dream Order", the palace maid didn't think there was anything outstanding about it, and it was very different from the poems made by other concubines. Concubine Su suddenly looked at Yulian, only to see Yulian said: "I haven't read much, I haven't made poems, and I haven't written poems on the spot, so don't embarrass me, sisters." ”

Seeing Yulian's resignation, the queen said: "My sister will make a song casually, they are all a family." Hongu doesn't know much about poetry, so it's good to make a random one. ”

Seeing that Yulian still has a shirk concubine, she has already decided that Yulian is not familiar with poetry, since poetry is not comprehensible, let alone anything else, a country girl can understand what to say: "Since Yuguifei doesn't know how to compose poetry, paint, and play the piano, she has to do one after all, and she can't be disappointed!" ”

I saw the Queen Mother holding Yulian's hand and saying, "The mourning family hasn't listened to a song for a long time, so Yulian will play a song for the mourning family." ”

After saying that, the palace maid placed the xylophone and the jade lotus slowly walked over, and the queen and her strange look at the concubine who was about to watch the show. I thought to myself, "Stupid. ”

When Yulian plucked the strings, Concubine Yi said: "I have heard that Yuguifei has superb piano skills, and once studied with Master Liu. "Talking unintentionally, listening intentionally.

Concubine Su looked at the palace maid beside her with a dark face, and scolded in her heart: "Concubine Yi, you didn't say it earlier when you knew that Ji Yulian's piano skills were superb, because you wanted to see the palace make a fool." ”

While tasting the peach blossom brew, the Queen Mother listened to the music as if she had returned to that year. Then I thought about the first emperor and remembered which concubine Xinniang. The same person, but with a different ending. Showing a smile, what if you were favored by the previous emperor, the current emperor is still my son, and your son has already turned into white bones.
