Chapter 358: Lotus Combination (II)
At this time, many palace maids and eunuchs withdrew from the main hall, and there were only His Majesty and all the maidens here, and of course the two princesses and concubines.
At this time, there were no outsiders, and the hall was a lot more lively all of a sudden, and several ladies came over one after another, so that the queen mother opened the food box, and the gluttonous worms in her stomach had already opened.
There were also a few ladies around His Majesty, and His Majesty quickly opened it to see.
"Guess what the colt sent into the palace today?"
Wu Meiniang took the food box there, but did not open it, but let all the ladies guess, which was a lot of bad for the ladies and girls.
Li Zhi over there heard Wu Meiniang's question, and was about to open the food box he was holding, but he was not in a hurry to open it at this time.
"Sister, you have to smell it to guess if it's not!"
Wu Meiniang was carrying the food box, and Concubine De came over and approached the food box and sniffed it.
"It's so fragrant, I guess it's still kamaboko, but I can smell fried fish."
"I'll smell it too!"
Yun Zhaoyuan also approached at this time, sniffed, but frowned.
"Sister Xin'er, I think you guessed wrong, I can't smell what it is, but it's definitely not a fish cake."
"Sister, I smell it too."
This time it was Wu Chongyi, she sniffed it and thought about it there.
"Lotus root, I smell lotus root."
"Sister, open it up and see what it is?"
At this time, several mothers surrounded Wu Meiniang, this one dragging hands, that one holding arms, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chen Fang wouldn't dare to think about this scene.
In my impression, Wu Meiniang would not be so good with these ladies in the palace, but the fact is that she is really so good, she is really like a sister.
And in the past half a month, Chen Fang has also come to Daming Palace several times, knowing that there are different mothers staying with His Majesty every night for the past half a month, and Wu Meiniang is not as exclusive as before.
Even Wu Meiniang would go back to Taiji Palace early every day, but she seemed to intend to let other Niangniang accompany His Majesty.
This probably also has mahjong credit, and now Li Zhi's harem is generally here to play mahjong with His Majesty in the afternoon, which surrounds a table, the relationship was weak before, and now it's close.
"Then the main palace is open!"
Wu Meiniang said a word, opened it at this time, and the smell in the food box suddenly dispersed, and several mothers sniffed it fiercely.
"It's so fragrant, what the hell is this?"
At this time, Mu Xiurong couldn't wait to take one, and looked at it, but it was really a lotus root, but this lotus root was completely different from the lotus root he usually ate.
Several ladies looked at Chen Fang at this time, which obviously made Chen Fang answer.
"A few Niangniang, this is a lotus root, cut it with the new lotus root that was paid tribute from the south this year, filled with various fillings in the middle, and then wrapped in egg white flour and fried, a few Niangniang, please try."
A few ladies here haven't tried it yet, but His Majesty over there said it was delicious, just now His Majesty saw Wu Meiniang let the concubines guess what was in the box, and he also covered himself The box was not opened, just now Wu Meiniang opened the box, he also opened it, and took one casually.
Several mothers were still listening to Chen Fang's introduction to this lotus root, and His Majesty already had a lotus in his hand, but only half of it was left.
"Really delicious, with a taste of fish! When I said kamaboko just now, I wasn't entirely wrong. ”
At this time, Concubine De also pinched one and took a bite.
"Hey, why don't I taste fish, but I taste mutton."
"Sister Xin'er, I can't taste the taste of fish, but I'm not mutton, but pork."
Several mothers took one to eat, but ate several flavors at once.
"The lotus root made by the Hongu guess horse is not a taste in the first place."
Wu Meiniang looked at Chen Fang, said lightly, and said, the lotus root she pinched had been eaten.
"The queen mother Shengming, it is indeed not a kind of filling, there are four kinds of fillings stuffed into this lotus root, which are pork belly, beef and mutton and fresh fish from the lotus pond of the workshop."
"No wonder, how do you distinguish between these four kinds of lotus roots? I just ate a fish, I'm going to try everything else! ”
Originally, when the ladies spoke, they had to call the palace, but at this time, the queen was here, and generally these ladies claimed to be me, so as to distinguish them from the queen.
Otherwise, everyone is this palace, but it will be chaotic.
"Concubine De, the minister can't tell the difference now!"
Chen Fang was helpless, he didn't deliberately distinguish when he did it at that time, and they were all mixed together at this time, how to distinguish them?
"A few sisters, who eat pork, mutton and beef, share half of Xin'er."
Concubine De listened to Chen Fang's words at this time and immediately thought of this method.
"Concubine De, this is pork, I will give you half of it."
There, Li Zhi handed half of the lotus to Concubine De!
"Your Majesty, there is also beef and mutton, sisters, who eats half of it and gives it to Xin'er."
At this time, the food here is lively, because the lotus root combines four flavors, but there is no way to distinguish them, only by eating can you taste different tastes, so all the ladies have shared the food, even Your Majesty and the Queen are no exception.
While eating, a few little people ran in, and Taiping saw that all the ladies were eating, so he hurriedly ran to the food box, and saw that there were more things inside, so he smiled sweetly.
Picking up a lotus root, Taiping Meimei took a bite.
Brother Li Xian also surrounded him at this time, and was about to reach out to take it, but was beaten by An Ding.
"Did you wash your hands? Take it! ”
The third brother was depressed, and the younger sister didn't wash her hands, so she finished eating one and was taking the second one.
However, after looking at the imperial sister, I could only wash my hands depressedly, where did I dare to argue with the imperial sister.
Chen Fang was no longer surprised by the scene where the third brother was customized.
Wu Meiniang's group of babies, except for the special status of the prince, are all men who are afraid of women. Brother Li Xian was killed by An Dingzhi.
At this time, everyone was eating happily, there were no palace maids and eunuchs here, the ones who ate as many mothers ate as they wanted, and several princesses and princes ate without any image.
At this time, Taiping was one with his right hand and one with his left hand, and he opened the bow left and right. Stability is a lady's image, biting one gently, but also eating much faster than usual.
Chen Fang was well prepared, but he was not afraid of not enough.
After a while, the mother will eat, Chen Fang hurriedly called the pothos to prepare tea, the ugly state of the mother can not be seen by the palace maid, the tea is soaked in pothos, and Chen Fang brought it in.
At this time, drinking tea and eating lotus root is a happy meal.
Wu Meiniang was full at this time, wiped the oil stains on the corner of her mouth with a brocade handkerchief, and looked at Chen Fang.
"Ever since I ate my stuff, I've gained some weight."
"Mother is not fat!"
Chen Fang looked at Wu Meiniang, where was she fat, there was no one at all!
"The queen mother is not fat, she is too fat!"
Xiao Taiping also ate at this time, and after eating one, let Wu Meiniang hug her.
Wu Meiniang put Taiping on her lap and pinched His Royal Highness's face.
"It's fat! Taiping is about to catch up with those little pink pigs. ”
Taiping made a pig's mouth grimace, and several ladies laughed without their image, and the flowers and branches trembled for a while.
At this time, Chen Fang also took tea and took a sip gently.
"Virtuous son-in-law, can you taste what kind of tea?"
"Your Majesty asked the minister, and the minister only told me that this is green tea, which can smell good and drink delicious, but I really don't know what kind of tea it is."
"Breast front dragon well!"
