Chapter 170: The Human Heart

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, the moon doesn't seem to have changed, and it's still hanging high in the sky for people to watch on a good day like today, but now it's different from the past, Hua Ying no longer has to sit on the lower seat very far away from the main seat, and she doesn't have to follow those people to hypocritically toast other concubines, on the contrary, it is the low-ranking concubines who frequently raise their wine glasses to talk to themselves, and the emperor feels in a smooth mood today, and even pulls Hua Ying to sit on his right side, opposite the queen.

"The concubine respects the emperor and the queen mother, such a beautiful day, and I wish the emperor and the queen a long time of love." Du Changzai raised the wine glass in his hand, although Hua Ying was closer to the emperor than the queen, but after all, she was a concubine and was not qualified to be inseparable from the emperor's affection.

"Du Changzai has a heart." The emperor smiled lightly as usual, such blessings can be received a lot every time the New Year is celebrated, but no one cares if he really wants to grow old with the queen, but it is reasonable, the queen sits in that seat, it should be like this, but he really has the person who wants to grow old, but he sits on the other side, looking at everyone with a straight smile, I don't know if she has also had such thoughts?

"Your Majesty, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, the decoration of this store is particularly beautiful, and the decoration is not quite the same as usual." Concubine Xiu raised her head and looked around, she was not like everyone else, she only cared about flattering the emperor and the queen, she was like a mirror in her heart, and she knew at a glance who the emperor liked.

"Sister Xiufei didn't say it, and the concubine didn't see it, even the lanterns sent to the concubine's palace this year have a lot more patterns, and the concubine likes it very much, these things are all the things of the Celebrant Bureau, that's the idea that Sister Concubine Yun came up with." The concubine also said.

"As soon as I stepped into the Qianqing Palace, I found that it was indeed well arranged, and these ornaments and ornaments also complemented the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is worthy of being the person I hand-picked." The emperor heard several people praise him like this, and he also felt that Hua Ying had done a good job this time, and even felt that she had such ability, and she could also assist in the affairs of the six palaces in the future, in the final analysis, she was still a little disappointed in what the queen did.

"Concubine Yun has always done the best in everything, Emperor, you have to treat Concubine Yun well." The queen mother also praised the concubine rarely, Hua Ying was in the limelight at this banquet for a while, and even made the queen murmur to herself, when she was in charge of the ceremonial bureau before, she couldn't find fault with what she did, why didn't the emperor and the queen praise themselves?

"Thank you to the emperor for the concubines, the praise of the queen mother, and the praise of the sisters in the palace, but in the end, the concubines did not actually help much, or the aunts in charge of the ceremonial bureau gave advice to the concubines, the emperor wanted to reward, so he rewarded the ceremonial bureau, and the concubines did not dare to invite credit." Hua Ying, seeing that other people's eyes were focused on herself, she also picked up her wine glass and said.

"Concubine Yun is smart and modest, it seems that the emperor has handed over the Celebrant Bureau to you, which is indeed good." The queen stood up at the right time and showed her bearing, and at the same time, she would not let people forget the queen: "The layout of the palace for the previous family banquets is indeed not as good as Concubine Yun's intentions, mainly because of the troublesome affairs of the six palaces, and with Concubine Yun's sister in the future, it can save a lot of worry." ”

In saying this, the queen is just showing herself, telling everyone that what Hua Ying is getting now is because of the queen who divided her rights.

"Yes, if there is no experience of the queen mother before, the concubine will not be able to do so well, thank you for the care and care of the queen mother these days, what do the concubines don't understand, they are all asked by the queen mother, the queen mother is extremely careful, and the concubine is even more grateful." Hua Ying's words are beautiful, if there is something wrong with this palace banquet, it can also be the queen's pot, after all, people have already said it, and if there is anything they don't understand, they have already asked the queen.

The queen naturally heard the meaning of his words, but the words had already been spoken, and the queen couldn't be modest again, so she nodded and said, "Everyone is a sister in the palace, what is there to be grateful for?" ”

"That being said, the concubine still has to give the queen a cup."

"Although today is a good day, don't drink too much wine, if you get drunk at the family banquet, there will be no one to help you." The emperor saw that in a short period of time, Hua Ying had already drunk several glasses of wine one after another, although it was a small wine glass, but he was also worried that Hua Ying was drunk, and secretly reminded.

"Your Majesty, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, if my sister wants to drink, let him drink more! There are concubines on the left and right, and the concubines will definitely take care of their sister, and the emperor doesn't think that today's wine is extraordinarily delicious? "Shun ghost people seem to have discovered the little secret of the two, and like a girl, he said with a smile, I can't say that I am like a girl, Shun Guiren is a girl herself, no matter how many things she has experienced, she is still so sunny, bright and cute, but the emperor doesn't seem to like this woman very much.

"As soon as the noble man said, this palace feels that today's wine is very different, and it also exudes a sweet taste, but it is not greasy, and it is very refreshing." Concubine Jiang happened to hold the wine glass when she was talking to the nobleman, drank it all, and praised it.

"Concubine Jiang also knows the goods, this wine is also original by Sister Yunfei, not only delicious, but also not easy to intoxicate, and you can enjoy the taste of it."

Hua Ying looked at Shun Guiren as if he was inviting himself to take credit, he didn't plan to talk about this matter again, Shun Guiren would not follow his temperament, since he felt that Hua Ying had worked hard to make it, he naturally wanted to let them know: "Look at you are a fast mouth, the emperor and queen mother, the queen mother, and the sisters, you can indeed drink freely today, because this is the osmanthus sweet wine exclusively created by the concubine, fresh and not greasy, and even the average daughter family can drink a few more glasses, so today everyone is open, After all, it's a good season, and it needs to be paired with good wine. ”

"But the concubine remembers that the emperor doesn't like sweets very much, and the emperor is still used to drinking?" The queen didn't expect her to keep such a hand, so she naturally didn't want Hua Ying to be in the limelight, so she thought she knew the emperor's preferences: "And the emperor's table today, this dish looks like it's spicy and exciting, and I don't know what's going on in the imperial dining room, the dishes prepared at the family banquet should be delicious." ”

Since the imperial dining room has its own recipe, the meaning of the queen's painting is that Hua Ying asked people to add such a dish, but the emperor does not like to eat spicy and sweet, implying that Hua Ying does not understand the emperor's preferences, but the queen's wishful thinking was really broken by the emperor, and his dislike and love to eat are just the queen's wishful thinking.

"However, the queen's mother, a concubine observes the emperor, the emperor is not not fond of sweet and spicy food, but is occasionally willing to taste it, so today the concubine specially let the imperial dining room add such a dish, and although this osmanthus sweet wine is sweet, but not greasy, the concubine also specially prepared other wines, the emperor can change his own wine at any time, of course, other sisters too. As for this spicy lotus root slice, if the emperor doesn't like it today, it's the concubine's fault, so let the subordinates take this dish away now. ”

Hua Ying couldn't see that this was the queen embarrassing herself, but the queen was too confident in herself, why did he think that the emperor he knew was the real emperor? If you really hate spicy and sweet, how can you let a chef who is familiar with the taste of Sichuan cuisine enter the palace dining room to cook for him?

In fact, the emperor did not like sweet and spicy things before, but really, Hua Ying's charm was too great, so that the emperor liked these, and today's spicy lotus root slices, he saw them at first sight, although Hua Ying kept saying that this spicy lotus root slices were made by her in the imperial dining room alone, but only the emperor knew that this dish must have been made by Hua Ying in his busy schedule, because he knew the taste of this dish, if it was not made by Hua Ying, he could eat it in one bite, and now, the queen rashly mentioned this matter, but it made the emperor dissatisfied. I think she is nagging, and she is not someone who really understands herself.

Hua Ying said that she would do it, and gave Qingxu behind her a look, and just about to remove the dish, the emperor spoke: "I think this dish tastes good today, the taste is refreshing, so I don't need to remove it, and there is osmanthus sweet wine, I am very satisfied with what Concubine Yun did, and I want to let Concubine Ai send it to the Heart Cultivation Hall a few more times in the future." In order not to slap the queen's face too much, the emperor also added a sentence at the back: "The queen is intimate, but today is a family banquet between us, don't worry so much, sit down and eat and laugh together!" ”

"That's what the emperor said." The queen's face was a little ugly as always, but she still had a strong smile, which made people who saw such a smile feel that they were not sincere, after all, the queen heard the emperor, and every word was to protect or praise Hua Ying, and I don't know when the emperor likes light people like light when they love spicy food? Could it be that Concubine Yun really has some magical powers?

If Hua Ying knew what he was thinking, he would definitely laugh at it, as if he was not an ordinary person, but Hua Ying knew that if she wanted a man to make changes for you, especially such a man who stood at the top of power, she had to pay her sincerity first, just like the people in the Ceremonial Bureau, so that others could feel and be willing to accept you, not only to accept you as a person, but also to love the house and Wu, so the emperor can really change his tastes and hobbies for Hua Ying. And how many people have really seen what Huaying has paid? I'm afraid only the emperor has felt it, in recent years, Hua Ying has learned to cook, and she has mastered embroidery, and she knows how to massage, which of these things is not made with her own painstaking efforts?
