Especially after the days of wandering, Shen Qingwan has a deeper understanding and persistence in eating.
It's just that she rarely has the opportunity to make a move, and she never makes it for King Qin.
In the final analysis, no matter how good her skills are, she lacks practice, and she can't compare to the imperial chef.
But this pot of white jade eight-treasure porridge suddenly felt comparable to the imperial kitchen, which made Shen Qingwan a little surprised.
After taking something and serving a pot of porridge, Shen Qing tasted it in the evening, his eyes couldn't help narrowing, and he recalled the process of cooking porridge.
She always thought that she had no friendship with the King of Chu in her previous life, but she didn't know that in something she didn't know, the King of Chu actually helped her.
The heart is soft, but also warm, and even the porridge cooked is different.
Just filled four ceramic pots, sealed the largest one and handed it to Amu: "Tie the letter, put this in the box and fix it, it is best to tie it to the eagle's feet, and send it to the prince quickly." ”
Amu hooked the corners of his mouth: "Miss, the slave and maid are saved, these things have been done." ”
"That's good, I'm more experienced than I am." Shen Qingwan nodded: "Leave now, when will it be delivered?" ”
Amu thought for a moment: "The black eagle flies in the sky, and the speed is fast, if there is no accident, maybe it will arrive after noon." The whereabouts of the prince are not fixed now, and if you need to find someone, you can do it before dark at the latest. ”
"That's not bad, it's fast, along the way, no matter what happens, this porridge stuff can't leave your hand or your sight, you know?" Shen Qingwan said solemnly.
The trust of the king of Chu is also a kind of pressure on her, and Shen Qingwan has to ensure that the food is clean, which is really worrying.
Amu nodded cautiously, and walked out of the small kitchen with the ceramic pot.
Shen Qingwan looked at the remaining materials, made some small snacks, and waited for Amu to come back.
At this time, the sky was already bright, but the hour was still early.
didn't go shopping, Shen Qingwan just asked Amu to buy a few catties of good lychees, and then went back to the palace.
When I entered the door, I found that the guards had changed a batch, and Shen Qingwan just showed the sign and let it go.
It's just going in and out, this kind of thing doesn't need to be rewarded every time, so how much money do you have to sprinkle?
came directly to the courtyard of the Queen Mother, who had just gotten up and was grooming.
And the queen was going to get up early, and she was already standing in the courtyard, as if she was waiting for the queen mother to go in and say hello after she finished freshening up.
Seeing that Shen Qing came early, the queen smiled: "Came so early?" ”
"The first time I came to the palace in the evening, I was a little excited, and I heard that the nearby Licheng morning market was very lively, so I went to visit." Shen Qing said in the evening.
Hearing this, the queen was really surprised, Shen Qingwan had already been to the county seat? How early is this?
"Why do you get up so early? At your age, you should feel like you can't wake up every day. "The queen was surprised, she came from this age, what did she not know?
Shen Qingwan smiled: "I went to the morning market to take a look, there are very fresh lychees, and then I borrowed a small kitchen and made a little more white jade eight-treasure porridge, I don't know if the queen likes it or not?" ”
As he spoke, Shen Qingwan motioned to Amu to bring out one of the ceramic pots, and seeing that the queen did not refuse, he opened it and served a small half bowl with his own hands.
The queen couldn't help but laugh: "You went out so early just to make porridge?" "What's the idea? Specifically to please her? It doesn't look like it!
However, the queen was happy, she liked to drink all kinds of porridge the most, and naturally she didn't want to eat too greasy in the morning.
Blowing and tasting it, the queen's eyes lit up: "You did it?" ”
Shen Qingwan nodded with a chuckle: "I don't know if it fits the queen's appetite?" ”
The queen felt that a bowl of porridge was fragrant, and the whole body was comfortable, which made people have an appetite: "I really can't see that the cooking skills of the evening are so good?" ”
This is indeed an accident, the average daughter of the girl who learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is a female celebrity, and her cooking skills are not touched.
Some people are all-rounders, and their cooking skills may not be able to reach the height of Shen Qingwan.
It's not that she is partial to compliment, this taste, even if it is not as good as the imperial kitchen, is not worse than the chef in charge of the imperial dining room.
You must know that the imperial chef is only responsible for the emperor, and the person in charge of food in each palace is the lower level of the chef.
"Occasionally, this time it's more unexpected, I can't make this kind of taste on weekdays, and I don't dare to show it at night." Shen Qingwan is not modest, tell the truth.
She's not sure she's really made a culinary breakthrough? Or did it happen by chance......
The queen quickly drank the half bowl, and asked the palace maid next to her to add a little: "It's a pity, Yuan'er is not here, I can't taste your craftsmanship." ”
Shen Qingwan smiled lightly and did not speak, this porridge was originally made for the King of Chu.
"Don't worry about the queen, she has already asked the eagle to send it to the prince, and the young lady specially made it for the prince." Amu doesn't speak on weekdays, and as soon as he speaks, he points directly at the red heart.
Even Shen Qingwan didn't have time to stop it, and when he reacted, Amu had already finished speaking: "Amu...... Don't talk too much. ”
The queen was stunned, and then she realized something, and her mood suddenly became even better.
Shen Qingwan took the king of Chu to heart so much, and in the queen's opinion, it made her happier than flattering her and honoring her: "Amu? The people around Yuan'er? ”
"But it's not, the prince lent her the courage to speak, and the queen mother didn't listen to her." Shen Qing was late at night, and always felt that this matter was inexplicably a little shy.
"Silly child, call the queen mother." The queen took Shen Qingwan's hand and patted it: "It's hard for you to go out so early, be careful outside, although the palace is not far from the county seat, there is also a distance." ”
Shen Qingwan smiled lightly and said in a kind manner: "Yes, Queen Mother, what Wan'er remembers, Amu came out of the prince's side, and he is not a good stubble." ”
The queen nodded, and before she knew it, she used more than half a bowl, and then she felt full.
As a result, there is still more than half of a large cup of porridge, and the woman's appetite is really worrying.
Because it was made by Shen Qingwan himself, he couldn't throw it around, for fear that someone would use it to do something framing.
The queen felt that it tasted good, and she was a little reluctant to throw it away, but how dare Shen Qingwan let the queen keep it for the next meal, and immediately said that she would reward it for her subordinates to eat, not to mention the people around the queen, there were two more around her!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are talking so harmoniously, the queen has never had a chance to talk to Shen Qingwan, but now there is a lot to say, recalling the bits and pieces of King Chu when he was a child, Shen Qingwan can feel that the queen's maternal love is heartfelt.
She believed that the queen would save the emperor when she was startled, that is, she had the heart of death, and she wanted to leave the best for the king of Chu.
The queen of the previous life would choose to follow the emperor and die in the end, which may not be the case.
Before he died, he was named the queen, so that the king of Chu became the rightful son-in-law, even if the king of Chu was unwilling to be the emperor, it was also a favorable bargaining chip for a chic and happy life, especially, the queen did not want to drag the king of Chu back, and chose to die more cleanly.
After thinking about this, Shen Qingwan has great respect for the queen, to be honest, the women in the palace are looking forward to children, most of them are for chips and the future, and those who have maternal love are also incidental.
The queen initially lost the child, and then caught up with the emperor's physical problems, so that the harem had nothing to do for many years, so there was a king of Chu when he was old.
Concubine Shu has more control over King Jin than maternal love.
Even if it is Concubine De, she is more in awe of King Qin, whether it is now or later, she has pulled King Qin a lot.
In short, it is not impossible to be a child as wholeheartedly as the queen, but it is very rare in the harem.
The more she talked, the more the queen felt like a mother, and Shen Qingwan's eyes gradually increased with a hint of admiration.
"Zhiyu has seen the queen mother, it turns out that Sister Jin is also here, she came really early." Lin Zhiyu suddenly stepped in, and without a trace, he condemned Shen Qingwan for hugging the queen's thigh so early, what kind of heart did he have?
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw that the queen and Shen Qingwan were talking happily, Lin Zhiyu couldn't suppress his jealousy, and he regretted and disgusted himself a while ago, and put all his thoughts on chasing and killing Quan Junhao, and missed a lot of opportunities.
Why did you come out now and see who was kind to Shen Qing at night? What is this? She is the concubine, why does everyone see Shen Qingwan's side?
The queen just said that the king of Chu was soft and naughty before he was ignorant, and she was naturally unhappy when she was interrupted, so she looked at Lin Zhiyu without a trace and frowned: "Everyone didn't come, isn't Miss Lin quite early?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyu's expression froze, and he didn't quite understand why the queen was unhappy?
In the past, the queen didn't pay special attention to her, but she didn't particularly dislike her, so it can be said that the queen is not salty to anyone.
Seeing the queen's good attitude towards Shen Qingwan just now, Lin Zhiyu thought that the queen had a different attitude towards the women of King Chu, but now it seems that isn't that the case?
Shen Qing noticed that the queen glanced at Lin Zhiyu's stomach, and a trace of hatred flashed in her beautiful eyes under the frown, it seems that the queen knows about Lin Zhiyu.
Maybe in the plan of the king of Chu, the queen has to intervene, so as to ensure the direction of the result.
No mother-in-law would like a woman who cuckolds her son, Lin Zhiyu's experience may be worthy of sympathy, but she still plans to hide from the world, deceiving her son, and the queen can't bear it.
The queen has the confidence not to talk to Lin Zhiyu and the snake, so the expression of displeasure is obvious.
Although Lin Zhiyu was a little stunned, she didn't think that her own affairs were exposed, and she only thought that Shen Qingwan arranged something bad for her in front of the queen, so she threw a knife at Shen Qingwan in the blink of an eye.
Lin Zhiyu felt that Shen Qingwan was too shameless, she didn't arrange Shen Qingwan outside, but Shen Qingwan arranged her in front of her future mother-in-law, she really knew how to chew her tongue.
Dare to love In Lin Zhiyu's eyes, the queen is still so soft-eared, listening to a few words arranged by others, she can be disgusted with her so much? Hehe, this is a lot of right and wrong!
Receiving Lin Zhiyu's eyes, Shen Qingwan knew what she was thinking, and was suddenly a little speechless, this brain supplement ability should not be too strong.
Sitting upright, still afraid of others arranging?
"The queen mother is right, it is Zhiyu who wants to be stubborn." Lin Zhiyu lowered his head, his face was a little distorted, but he could only endure it.
It's a pity that the two women Lin Zhiyu faced were both experienced.
The queen and Shen Qingwan were sitting, Lin Zhiyu was standing, and when he looked down, he could see a trace of expression from an angle, and with that trace, he could see the whole picture, and immediately knew what Lin Zhiyu's reaction was.
Thinking of the tyranny in Lin Zhiyu's heart, the queen was even more displeased in her heart, and she didn't bother to answer.
Shen Qingwan chuckled, a pregnant woman's temper is already easy to be irritable, and Lin Zhiyu's heart is originally tyrannical, which makes Lin Zhiyu unable to control his temper is really normal.
While talking, many people entered the courtyard one after another, waiting to greet the Queen Mother.
In the past, it was more troublesome to enter the palace, but now it is not far from the next door, and it is impossible to say goodbye if you don't come to ask for peace.
When outsiders came, the queen no longer pulled Shen Qingwan to speak, and Lin Zhiyu's embarrassment of being hung was also resolved by other people's greetings.
The highest status in the palace this time is the queen, Lin Zhiyu is the concubine of the king of Chu, and many people want to be able to pull the relationship.
Sought after by everyone, Lin Zhiyu finally balanced his mind a little, and looked at Shen Qingwan from time to time, showing off and proud, and dealing with everyone with more long sleeves and good dancing.
Yesterday, Lin Zhiyu actually waited for Shen Qingwan in the house for a long time, waiting for her to come to greet her concubine, who knew that Shen Qingwan didn't come to the door, which made Lin Zhiyu feel a lot of anger in his heart.
Now that the King of Chu is not here, Lin Zhiyu will help the King of Chu to build a good relationship, which is a network in the future succession!
As a result, Lin Zhiyu was more enthusiastic about dealing with the people who talked to him.
If Shen Qingwan knew that Lin Zhiyu was still waiting for her to ask for peace, she would definitely spray her face, this hasn't passed the door yet, what kind of peace? Isn't it okay to think of yourself as a princess?
The yard became lively, and he came out of it leisurely, his face was not good: "What are you arguing about?" I don't know if the Queen Mother likes to be quiet? ”
Hearing this, all the women who were chatting happily seemed to squeeze their necks, and stopped abruptly no matter what they were saying.
I had a happy conversation just now, and the voice was really not suppressed.
The little eunuch next to him shook off the dust: "The Queen Mother has arrived." ”
With the voice, the Queen Mother came out of the house, so many people definitely couldn't enter the house.
"The Queen Mother, Wanfu Jin'an." knelt on the ground in the courtyard, and the leisurely reprimand just now made many people a little apprehensive.
Mama Jiang asked people to move a stool and put it on the eaves, and the Queen Mother sat down before she spoke: "Get up!" ”
"Empress Dowager Xie." Everyone cheered and got up, and it was quite disturbing to look at it.
The Queen Mother squinted her eyes: "From Ming'er, everyone doesn't have to come to ask for peace, they are young and not older than others, and if they sleep well, they will sleep a little longer, not to mention that they came to the palace to relax, there are not so many rules." Just play as you like, and it makes sense to escape the heat. ”
"The Queen Mother is right, everyone is making a fuss, and the Queen Mother is resting." Concubine De answered with a smile and revealed what had just happened.
Concubine De was originally a human spirit, and seeing that the Queen Mother herself didn't want to pursue it, she opened her mouth to sell everyone a good one.
As for accepting or not accepting, it's all up to you.
"Now that everyone is here, let's have breakfast together! Leisurely, see if the kitchen is ready? The Queen Mother didn't have any special emotions, and as always, everyone couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry.
Some eunuchs and palace maids immediately spread the table in the courtyard, and all the masters sat down one after another.
Soon, breakfast was served in the same way.
The queen dragged Shen Qingwan to sit at a table with the Queen Mother, and Lin Zhiyu was stunned and stomped his feet in anger.
The queen doesn't bring the side concubine with the main concubine, this face is crackling!
Many envious and jealous women looked at Lin Zhiyu with schadenfreude and jokes, and those who were holding stinky feet just now should also weigh the situation.
Looking at the dishes served, the queen signaled to the big palace maid behind her.
smiled knowingly, and pulled Mama Jiang to bite her ear a few words.
A trace of surprise flashed in Mama Jiang's expression, and she asked her trusted person to ask Amu for a ceramic pot in a place where others couldn't see it, brought it to the queen mother, and whispered a few words.
The Queen Mother flicked the hand of the Buddha beads, looked at the ceramic pot in front of her, and motioned for Mama Jiang to bring out a bowl.
As soon as the queen saw that Shen Qingwan still had two complete ceramic pots in her hand, she knew that one of them belonged to the queen mother.
In front of everyone, it was not good to say directly that Shen Qingwan did it personally, and he could only make a few turns to let the Queen Mother know.
The queen believes that the queen mother definitely does not want to get up early tomorrow morning, there is a table of meals made by others "by their own hands" waiting to be tasted, and the kitchen is afraid that it will suffer.
When people say "with their own hands", they just give instructions to the cook, then look at the finished product, and then bring it themselves.
Like Shen Qingwan, there are almost no people who personally choose materials and wash rice.
The queen didn't want to give Shen Qingwan too much hatred in this situation, and the queen mother ate it now, and Shen Qingwan couldn't eat it anymore, so she secretly Chen Cang once, and others didn't notice how this ceramic pot came from.
I thought it was the queen mother's unique food, which is actually normal.
Although a few concubines noticed what the queen told Yixin, they secretly saw Mama Jiang elsewhere, and then Mama Jiang instructed her palace maids to serve the dishes, so that no one contacted the queen mother with the ceramic pot in front of the queen mother.
I tasted the white jade porridge a little unexpectedly, and the Queen Mother was happy to eat it, so she asked casually: "Mama Jiang, what is the emperor doing?" ”
There are only women here, and they must be very concerned about the emperor's itinerary, but it's hard to inquire, and it's really good to know the situation from the queen mother.
"The emperor is entertaining the minister, and he has breakfast because he is going to hunt in the paddock." Mama Jiang said succinctly.
The women's eyes lit up, and some of them had never gone to the paddock to hunt, so they couldn't help but yearn for something.
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "After dinner later, everyone will play by themselves, the mourning family is old and needs to rest, so I won't entertain you." ”
"The Queen Mother laughed, it was everyone who made a noise about the Queen Mother, how dare you drive the Queen Mother to entertain her." As soon as these words came out, everyone echoed them.
Shen Qingwan turned her head and saw that it was Mrs. Shangshu who spoke, Jiang Yining's mother.
Mrs. Shangshu is strong in pinching the tip, and her showy personality has really not changed, and at this time, the palace concubine is better than her to speak.
As soon as Mrs. Shangshu said it, it was obviously a good word, but the feeling of patting the sycophants was too obvious.
Fortunately, everyone is familiar with this side of Mrs. Shangshu, and they are tired of watching too many jokes, but they have become the norm.
After breakfast, many people said goodbye and left, Shen Qingwan did not leave for the time being, she was not so curious about hunting.
Lin Zhiyu was not in a hurry to leave, she wanted to find an opportunity to talk to the queen and the queen mother, and she couldn't let Shen Qing be beautiful in front of others.
As a result, before she got close, she was sent away by Mama Jiang beside the Queen Mother with a few words, Lin Zhiyu was so angry that her face turned blue, did she dare to break in and "disturb" the Queen Mother's "rest"?
This is not the Taishi Mansion, let her make trouble.
