Chapter 30 is a little salty
After Li Mingyue got the moon cakes, she changed from the newly packaged moon cakes, exquisite brocade wooden boxes, embroidered with rare beasts, and the packaged moon cakes were upgraded several grades, which is definitely high-end luxury and connotation.
The palace maid hurriedly brought it with a brocade box, and then respectfully placed it on the long case in front of Li Zhi's sitting, and respectfully opened the lid, revealing the true face of Lushan inside.
Li Zhi, Empress Wang, and Wu Zhaoyi came up to take a look, and they all showed surprise on their faces.
I saw that the moon cakes in the brocade box were piled into the shape of plum blossoms, and three special "moon cakes" were sanitized in it, and the whole shape was like the stars holding the moon.
Only Li Mingyue's ingenuity can place the moon cakes so gorgeously.
"Holy Lord, this is the moon cake made by the grass people." Li Mingyue hurriedly said to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi looked at the moon cakes in the brocade box and said curiously: "Why are there two kinds of moon cakes made by Gao Sheng, and they are very different from the moon cakes made by the chef?" ”
"Why there are two kinds of moon cakes in Gaosheng, Mingyue doesn't know, just one of them, he is fried with walnuts, almonds, chestnuts and several kinds of nuts, and then mixed with maltose to make a trap, baked and cooked in a large vat, the smell is fragrant, the taste is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and there is a hint of sweetness of maltose, and sweet but not greasy."
Li Mingyue gushed about it, only eating half a moon cake, and said that the moon cake made by Gao Sheng was full of truth, tempting appetite.
"This other kind of moon cake is crystal clear, Mingyue has never eaten it, but I just think it looks good, so I will dedicate it to the saint and Niangniang."
Li Zhi nodded with a smile: "Mingyue has a heart." ”
Immediately, he said majestically to everyone: "I can't enjoy such a delicacy alone, there are many mooncakes here, and I share them with Zhuqing." ”
The royal family members present left the table one after another, knelt on the couch, and chanted "Thank you for your grace".
Li Zhi laughed, and the palace maid distributed the moon cakes of genuine value.
This moon cake seems to be specially made for the palace party in the middle of the palace, no more, no less, one for each person, and there are three crystal clear soaps left, just one for Li Zhi, Queen Wang, and one for Wu Zhaoyi.
Li Zhi held the soap with his chopsticks, looked at it for a while, and sighed: "Such a perfect thing, I really can't bear to destroy it." ”
A group of concubines, princes, princesses and princes looked at the mooncakes in their hands, the fragrance was fragrant, and Li Mingyue introduced the materials and cooking techniques of the mooncakes, all of which were salivating and ready to feast.
But Li Zhi, the emperor, didn't even move his mouth, who dared to eat first?
Wu Zhaoyi is also a shrewd person, everyone looked hungry and thirsty in their eyes, and said with a smile: "The saint must not live up to Mingyue's heart." ”
Li Zhi was reminded by her, looked back, and smiled at everyone present: "I and Zhu Qing eat moon cakes together, it is also a matter of seconds, but I want to see if what Mingyue said is true?" ”
Everyone hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground with their hands in their hands, shouting Shengming.
Li Zhi brought the chopsticks in his hand to his mouth, and immediately took a small bite of soap and chewed it in his mouth.
Seeing that the emperor was eating, the concubines, princes, princesses and princes present hurriedly picked up the mooncakes and put them in their mouths.
Li Zhi's brows deepened with the action of chewing, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely ugly, as if he finally couldn't help it, and as soon as he lowered his head, he spit out the foamy "moon cake" chewed into a paste in his mouth.
And at this moment, except for Wu Zhaoyi and Queen Wang, whose expressions were similar to Li Zhi, they were all chewing the moon cakes in their mouths with intoxicated expressions.
Li Zhi quickly put down the "moon cake" in his hand, picked up the wine glass and drank it, but did not swallow it, and spit it out after snorting in his mouth, then Zou Mei said: "Mingyue, this moon cake is not only different from what you described, but also extremely unpalatable and a little salty?" ”
"Holy ......"
Li Mingyue was shocked, and then looked at Wu Zhaoyi and Queen Wang, first spit out the "moon cakes" chewed in her mouth one after another, which were all slag mixed with foam.
Looking at everyone's expressions again, it was obviously an expression of enjoyment, Li Mingyue understood that the problem appeared on the three crystal clear moon cakes, and there was something wrong with this "moon cake".
Suddenly, she was so Gao Sheng that her teeth itched, this was the first time she was so hurt by a person.
After eating the first bite of the moon cake, everyone saw that Li Zhi, Queen Wang and Wu Zhaoyi were all spitting out "moon cakes", so frightened that they almost grabbed their throats and spit out the moon cakes they had just swallowed in their stomachs.
The emperor said that the moon cakes were unpalatable, and they spit them out, even if the moon cakes in their hands were delicious, they didn't dare to eat them again, and many people made a disgusting look.
Li Mingyue's brothers looked at all this dumbfounded, and they seemed to understand a little bit why they couldn't get along in the court as soon as the old man told him to get old.
"Mingyue should be damned."
Li Mingyue was also clever, and hurriedly prostrate on the ground to plead guilty, making a docile appearance, but she was frightened in her heart, she was too careless,
"Shanghe County Lord, you are deceiving the king!" Queen Wang relieved herself, and immediately reprimanded, not even calling Li Mingyue's name, and directly calling her title.
"Sister, why be angry, Concubine Wu thinks that Mingyue is unintentional."
Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, it is always good for Wu Zhaoyi and Queen Wang to sing against each other.
Of course, she also caught Li Zhi's preference for Li Mingyue's cousin, otherwise the "moon cake" was not only astringent and salty, Li Zhi not only didn't let the chef try the food first, but the first sentence of the "moon cake" in Li Zhi's mouth just now was not a question, but a question in his heart.
From this point, Wu Zhaoyi saw that Li Zhi would never embarrass Li Mingyue.
Sure enough, Li Zhi glanced at Queen Wang and said coldly: "Queen, be cautious." ”
Queen Wang's expression trembled, and she didn't dare to say more.
If she can think of why Li Zhi stayed in the capital in the Duanzheng month, and the royal family relatives who were released from the outside world gathered together as much as possible to celebrate the festival, and understand the whereabouts of Li Zhi's failure to seize the heir, Li Tai, the king of Wei, and the rebellious Jingzhou king Li Yuanjing, Fang Yiai, Princess Gaoyang, and Princess Baling, she knew that Li Zhi was most annoyed by blood relatives.
Li Zhi is generous and benevolent, Wu Zetian knows this, and even if Queen Wang knows, she pretends not to know.
When Li Yuanyi, the king of Zheng, was still in the temple, because he had a festival with the courtiers of the Taiyuan Wang family, the queen from the Taiyuan Wang family naturally did not wait to see the young daughter of the Zheng Wangfu.
Seeing Li Zhi drinking Queen Wang, a hint of joy flashed on Wu Zhaoyi's cheeks, and she quickly regained her composure.
Li Zhi looked at Li Mingyue, his eyes returned to warmth, and said, "Mingyue, what is the crime, get up quickly." ”
Li Mingyue only got up resignedly, only to hear Li Zhi say again: "This is called the grass people who are promoted, that is, the poems are well done, and the moon cakes made are very unpalatable, so don't eat them." ”
With such a faint sentence, Li Zhi turned Li Mingyue's big or small bully just now into invisible, which shows his preference for Li Mingyue's cousin.
"Thank you for your grace of impunity." Li Mingyue said goodbye.
The emperor's cousin didn't pursue her, but she couldn't tell the difference, and the face work must be given to her cousin Li Zhi.
What's more, in the presence of concubines, princes, princesses and princes, Li Mingyue must let Emperor Li Zhi's majesty be inviolable, otherwise he will kill himself, and Li Zhi will not protect her......
