Chapter 68: Resolving the Crisis
"Give Imperial Chef Jiang a seat and serve tea." The Queen Mother spoke after everyone else left.
"Huh," the palace maid in the hall quickly made a cup of tea and brought it up, and after Jiang Baizhu thanked the Queen Mother, she sat next to Fang Cai's position as a concubine.
As for why she sat next to Concubine Hua's seat, first, to avoid suspicion, and second, Concubine Hua repeatedly troubled her, she was still very angry.
The clay figures have three points of anger, not to mention, she is still a living person, although she is now disguised as a man and mixed into the palace, but that is also forced.
The Queen Mother looked at where she was sitting, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "It seems that Imperial Chef Jiang still has some ability." ”
When Jiang Baizhu heard this, his heart cheered up with twelve points, and he said respectfully on his face, "The Queen Mother praised it falsely, and the slave's little skill of carving insects entered the eyes of the mother, which is the blessing of the slave." ”
Gonggong Su saw that the Queen Mother was in a good mood today, and he also smiled and said, "Don't be modest, Chef Jiang, after the medicine you prescribed before, after Niangniang used it, she is more than ten years younger." ”
"Yes, your medicine is really effective, and the mourning family also feels that they are more than ten years younger, alas, they are getting old, I didn't expect to meet such a wonderful person as Jiang Yuchu." The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan touched her face and said happily.
"Back to Niangniang, this is also Niangniang's foundation, and Niangniang, she is not old at all, in the eyes of the minions, Niangniang is the fairy in the sky." Jiang Baizhu boasted flatteringly.
Hearing her say this, the smile on the face of the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan couldn't stop, she didn't expect this, this Jiang Imperial Chef's mouth was so sweet.
"I'm afraid that your mouth has been smeared with honey, so sweet, you, you're flamboyant all day long, okay, the mourning family also wants to know how amazing the beauty gymnastics you customized for Concubine Yun and Shu Zhaoyi and the two of them?" The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan went around in a circle for half a circle, and finally asked what she wanted to ask.
Sure enough, this woman, there is no one who doesn't love beauty, look, this queen mother is so old, don't she also love beauty, Jiang Baizhu thought silently in his heart.
"If the Queen Mother wants to see it, how about the slave go back later and draw a new set of gymnastics drawings and send it to the mother?" Although he didn't think so in his heart, Jiang Baizhu didn't show it on his face.
Speaking of which, except for the dog emperor Xie Junze
In front of him, he can't hide any thoughts, and in front of others, he can still cover himself.
Why did you think of the dog emperor again, is she sick, no, I have to go to the imperial doctor to see if I go back, I have been thinking of him recently, he must be sick.
"Why do you want to go back, are you still afraid that the Queen Mother will lack your pen, ink, paper, and inkstone? After I go back and paint it, I have to send it over, but if I paint it here now, it will save Jiang Yuchu from running back and forth, what does Niangniang think? Father-in-law Su couldn't wait to speak after Jiang Baizhu's voice fell.
Hearing what Father-in-law Su said, the Empress Dowager Xiaoquan nodded, and without waiting for Jiang Baizhu to refuse, she ordered someone to bring a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it on the table.
Jiang Baizhu saw that the Queen Mother had already asked people to bring pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, but he couldn't, so he could only pick up the pen and draw the gymnastics drawing.
Because it has already been drawn once, this time it was quickly drawn, and after making sure that there was no problem, Jiang Baizhu respectfully handed this set of gymnastics drawings to Father-in-law Su, and Father-in-law Su handed it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took a look and was taken aback, but she didn't expect that this Jiang Baizhu was not only good at cooking and medical skills, but also very good at painting.
Look at the characters in this painting, every move, with style, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, I'm afraid she would think that the characters in this painting were just about to come out.
Father-in-law Su also saw these words, and he praised with a smile, "I didn't expect that Imperial Chef Jiang is not only good at cooking, but even this painting is very good. ”
"Father-in-law Su has won the award, these are just what the slaves usually ponder, how can they compare to their father-in-law." Jiang Baizhu stood below and said humbly.
"Father-in-law Su is not wrong, Jiang Yuchu's painting skills are indeed good." The Empress Dowager Xiaoquan also complimented her.
Hearing both of them say this, Jiang Baizhu smiled embarrassedly and didn't say anything more.
Empress Dowager Xiaoquan looked at this gymnastics chart and secretly decided to practice in a while, so she waved her hand at Jiang Baizhu and signaled her to retreat.
"The minions are gone." After leaning over and saluting, Jiang Baizhu withdrew from the hall. After coming out, after glancing at the sky, he quickened his pace, he didn't expect to delay for such a while, it was already close to noon, she had to hurry back to make lunch for Xie Junze.
Passing through the Royal Garden, I saw that the lotus flowers were in full bloom, and the lotus leaves were also verdant and green.
It looks very gratifying, so I am ready to pick a lotus leaf, take it back to the imperial dining room, and make lotus leaf porridge.
After choosing a suitable lotus leaf, Jiang Baizhu pinched off the stem, propped it on the top of his head, and hummed a small song all the way back to the imperial dining room.
In the imperial dining room, she was busy at the moment, and when Manager Ning saw her come back, he immediately pulled her into the kitchen dedicated to making meals for the emperor, and asked her to make lunch for His Majesty quickly.
Jiang Baizhu touched her head, said that she knew, after the millet was cooked, she sprinkled some wolfberries, after the wolfberries were cooked, she washed the lotus leaves, cut them into appropriate sizes, and put them on the boiled millet wolfberry porridge.
Sprinkle some sugar, stir well, and put it aside, Manager Ning came in and saw a bowl of emerald green porridge, which was dotted with wolfberries, which was very beautiful.
"Xiao Jiang, have you done this well?" Manager Ning took his eyes off the bowl of porridge and looked at Jiang Baizhu, who was stir-frying, and asked.
"It's good right away," Jiang Baizhu said as he sprinkled ginger and shallots, stir-fried them for a while, poured in cooking wine, scooped a spoonful of water into it, covered the pot, and when the water came, poured the already marinated meat slices into it.
Before she came out of the pot, she smelled a tempting fragrance, and Mr. Ning looked at her appearance, didn't urge her, turned around and went out.
He is quite relieved that this Xiao Jiang is doing things, and His Majesty seems to trust her a lot, Mr. Ning thought as he walked.
After all the dishes were ready, Jiang Baizhu packed them in a food box and mentioned them to the imperial study, where Xie Junze was discussing with Prime Minister Wan and other officials how to solve the problem of flooding in the south.
"Your Majesty, according to the old minister, this southern flood is menacing, many people in the south are displaced, and they are hungry, if they are not solved as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be a big mess." Hubu Shangshu Wang Ci opened his mouth with a hesitant face.
"Then according to Aiqing, what should I do?" Xie Junze looked at him with a gloomy face, these people are good to say, but when it comes to solutions, they are like a stuffy gourd.
"This ...... At present, the floods in the south are serious, and the people have no income, not only can they not collect taxes and money, but they must also allocate funds, otherwise the people are afraid that there will be riots. Wang Ci thought about it before speaking cautiously.
