Chapter 1: Danger Looms
Looking at it, everyone felt a little hungry again, and someone around them said: "Yangzhou cuisine is still delicious, the knife work is fine, neither salty nor spicy, and the taste is moderate." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yu Qian touched his stomach and felt hungry, so he walked to the Suzhou cuisine area and saw three categories: Yangzhou cuisine, Nanjing cuisine and Suzhou cuisine. The palace maid introduced on the side: "Yangzhou cuisine is rigorous in the selection of materials, pays attention to freshness, and the main ingredients are prominent; Nanjing cuisine pays attention to seven flavors, the seven flavors are sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, fragrant, smelly, and the seven flavors are fresh, rotten, crispy, tender, crispy, thick, and fat. Suzhou cuisine is good at stewing, stewing, simmering, and boiling, focusing on maintaining the original flavor, and it seems to be crispy and delicious, fresh and beautiful. ”
As soon as Yu Qian heard what the palace maid said, he became curious: "Who called you all this just now?" Or did you already know? ”
The palace maid said, "We are all trained. After Chai-sama assigned us a task, we had to memorize some food knowledge every day. ”
"Chai-sama? It's Chai Baochen, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, right? Yu Qian asked.
The palace maid just smiled and did not answer.
Yu Qian saw that this dish was really rich, including salted duck gizzard, hibiscus crucian carp, chrysanthemum herring, chrysanthemum leaf jade version, Jinling salted duck, fork roast duck, squirrel mandarin fish, snail shrimp, snowflake crab bucket, clear soup shark fin, fried whitebait, Wuxi meat bones, Changzhou dregs and buckle meat, overlord farewell concubine, Pei Gong dog meat, Pengcheng fish balls, lotus iron finch, milk soup fish skin, crab roe fish maw, etc.
He just asked the palace maid to take some food at will. Then return to your seat and continue eating. He sat at the table and thought while eating, this Lord Chai should also be a capable minister, otherwise it would be impossible to hold a banquet with sound and color, and he would definitely make friends another day. We must not let this kind of person be co-opted by Wang Zhen and go astray.
Everyone was really lively. The shows went on one after another, and before I knew it, it was already dark. According to the celebration schedule, it was time for a grand bonfire. According to legend, in ancient times, after people learned to drill wood to make fire, they found that fire could not only cook food, but also scare wild beasts and protect their lives, so they had the first reverence for fire. Later, people returned from hunting and celebrated each other's rich booty, and in the evening, while the food was cooked over the fire, they held hands with each other and danced around the fire to express their joyful feelings, and this form of celebration continues to this day, forming a bonfire party.
Several eunuchs formed a circle around the original rockery on the west side of the imperial garden, and smooth logs were lined up in the circle to prevent the fire from running wild. Then the eunuch lit the dry wood in the center of the ring, and the flame soon rose higher than a man. The flames of the fire danced merrily under the black night sky, and the light was shining. The fire was peeling, and it smelled good, and Chai Baochen took a deep breath. He walked up to the Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "Empress Dowager, I will go outside the city to direct the fireworks show." There is a king here to take care of. Wait a minute, you can enjoy it. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, very good." I'm very satisfied with today's arrangement, so go ahead and get busy. ”
"Wechen retired." After saying that, he left, and glanced at Dove as he left. Dove nodded.
After a cup of tea, Princess Changde said to Empress Dowager Zhang: "My granddaughter is slightly tired, go back to rest first." Imperial Grandmother, I will not be here with you. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang said pityingly: "It's okay." You go back first. ”
The palace maid Bailing sent Dove back to her room. When they returned to the dormitory, they lit the lamp and found a man sitting at the head of the bed. Bai Ling screamed in fright. Dove hurriedly covered her mouth, and Bai Ling calmed down only to find out that the person was Chai Baochen!
Bai Ling figured it out, and the two of them were going to have a private meeting while everyone was busy. So he went out of the dormitory, and sat down outside the door. In this room, Chai Baochen hugged Dove in his arms, and Dove was dressed in tulle. He put his hand in, gently stroked her smooth and tender ****, and asked softly, "Do you miss me?" ”
Dove looked at Chai Baochen affectionately and said, "You have always been in my heart. ”
When Chai Baochen heard this, his blood immediately gushed out, and he was about to advance hard. He lifted Dove's skirt and found that the fabric in the palace felt unusual. The silky silk was draped over the silky thighs, which fascinated Chai Baochen. He made a dash in an instant, causing Dove to fall on his back in his arms.
"Something will happen." Dove asked suddenly.
"It's okay, I've arranged everything outside the city, and when the hour comes, the fireworks will be lit. At that time, the king of Yu will direct the officials who have been rehearsing for a long time to sing "The Queen Mother's Auspiciousness" around the bonfire," Chai Baochen replied.
"Fool, I'm asking if the two of us are like this, will we ......?" Dove worried.
Chai Baochen understood and said, "Don't worry, I'll suppress it with internal strength, just pull it out at the right time." ”
"Well, then I'm relieved." Dove said softly, her face flushing.
Just as they were making love, fireworks were lit outside the city, and beautiful flowers bloomed in the dark night sky, breaking the silence around them. Chai Baochen pushed open a window with his palm wind and said, "Look, how beautiful! ”
Dove's face was flushed by the light of the fireworks, and the room was hazy and exciting. What could be more important than the most wonderful experience of life? Her face was even redder.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed outside the window. Dove's eyes were wide open. Chai Baochen noticed something strange and hurriedly leaned to the window to look out.
The night is like water, and the summer is thick. The sound of a chorus could be heard in the distance. Chai Baochen walked outside the door and saw Bai Ling sitting on the steps with his knees crossed, as if he was asleep. He hurriedly walked out of the door and shook the lark, only to find that the lark was not asleep but knocked unconscious. He pinched Bailing's man, Bailing woke up faintly, saw Chai Baochen holding himself, and shouted: "Lord Chai." "I fainted again.
Chai Baochen helped Bailing into the room, put it on the bed, handed it to Dove to take care of, and told her to close the doors and windows. Then he jumped out of the door, jumped on the eaves, and looked around. Only the bamboo shadow moves, and there is nothing unusual. Suddenly, he saw what appeared to be a figure in the bushes outside the wall. He hurried over, and in order to prevent a plot, he broke off a branch, lifted the bushes, and saw the man revealing a corner of his robe.
Chai Baochen felt more and more strange. He whispered, "Who is hiding behind the tree?" When he asked this twice and no one answered, he boldly stepped forward and grabbed the man's leg bone, and put a slight force on his hand, but the man still did not respond.
He dragged the man out and found him still motionless. Reached out and tested his pulse, which was gone. Chai Baochen was suddenly shocked. Looking at his official uniform again, it is a first-class crane suit, what is going on here?
Just as he was about to drag the deceased out and check his face and wounds by the moonlight, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps, which were in his direction. Chai Baochen was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly jumped off the wall to escape! If you are bumped into by someone, it is inevitable that you will be misunderstood. He hurriedly performed his light skills, quietly avoided the guards, and ran back to the Imperial Garden. The banquet was still going on, and the officials were dancing around the campfire. The king was also happily drinking and dancing beside him.
He walked up to His Royal Highness and asked, "Did anything happen just now?" ”
