Qin casually immediately raised the red velvet sandalwood tray with interest, and loudly announced the names of each piece of color:

"Ziqiong Yao Double Mandarin Duck Treasure Hairpin ~"

"A pearl jade butterfly hairpin~"

"Wei Ling Weeping Lotus Step Shake Hang~"

"Hollow bell red bellflower blood jade bracelet pair~"

"A white jade petal pink jade stamen, apricot blossom spring red gold collar~"

Every time a name was announced, Qin casually picked up the jewelry and displayed it, causing a lot of admiration.

So, the eager concubines finally mustered up the courage to guess one by one, and then shyly guessed wrong one by one without exception.

In the end, it was the turn of the prince, princess, and concubines' personal attendants, and the maidservants who knelt and shook their heads one after another, the emperor couldn't help but be proud, just like a well-dressed girl looking forward to being seen by the person she liked, but it was not his disappointment to see through the autumn water.

Xuanyuan Xi, the sixth prince who didn't say a word from beginning to end, just slowly shook his head to indicate that he didn't understand the riddle, suddenly spoke, and his clear and soft voice was pleasant: "Father, can you allow Erchen's close attendants to guess?"

"Xu. The emperor agreed, and his tone was full of talk that was better than nothing.

"Huan'er, go ahead. The Sixth Prince Xuanyuan Xi's slight voice was worried, "You, do you know the mystery?"

"An, Canghai," the veiled young man stood up from behind Xuanyuan Xi, and the moment he passed by, he replied softly, "Look at me!"

Beyond the barrier of Canghai's body, I could see everyone's suspicious gazes. The jade-colored veil in front of me rippled softly, and everyone staring at me had a touch of trance. They must be guessing, where did they hit such a cold bean?

Kneeling down respectfully, I crouched on the white marble inlaid with gold-edged floor tiles, and my voice was clear and crisp: "Your Majesty, crystal clear, also known as crystal rice balls, made of clear noodles, that is, wheat starch, must be made of boiling water and noodles, add a little potato starch and rapeseed oil, so that they can be sticky and smooth, and the rice balls will be transparent like glass beads when they are ripe." ”

I was stunned, I was not allowed to look up, I didn't know that the emperor was staring at me in surprise, I only knew that the emperor didn't make a sound to refute, that is, he answered correctly, and then continued: "Another rain is clear, and the white glutinous rice dough is mixed with baked cocoa bean flour to form a rain flower stone pattern." And the last one is the full moon today, also known as the silk glutinous rice balls. Sugar is fried until melted, and the deep-fried rice balls are stir-fried to give them a golden brown color and a plump feeling like a full moon. ”

After hearing this, the emperor's eyes lit up, and he was as happy as seeing an old friend: "Yes! All right! Xi'er, where did you find such a wonderful person? This secret recipe passed down from generation to generation by the Yuan family of the Tangyuan family actually knows it clearly?!"

"Erchen occasionally has good food," Xuanyuan Xi lied, serious, so smooth that he didn't even hit a pimple, "I found him because I was looking for food." ”

"Food?" the emperor stroked the back of his chair and smiled happily, "Xi'er has my legacy, and I have good food!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Concubine Gao and Concubine Xu Shufei darkened at the same time, and they were fleeting.

"Arbitrary, reward. The emperor picked up the Changchun Acacia Cup and smiled contentedly, "The glutinous rice balls are just the right amount of cold, let's eat them." ”

"Emperor Xie!"

"Thank you, Father!"

In the voice of thanks, only my thanks are the most sincere. After taking the red velvet sandalwood tray, his eyes were not enough for a while.

Everyone lowered their heads as if nothing had happened, and the corner of their eyes flickered towards me from time to time. Only the third princess expressed her displeasure because she didn't get the string of coral beads inlaid with silk, and refused to eat it.

Concubine Xu coaxed gently, and the third princess twisted around without opening her mouth. In the end, his mouth flattened, and he shouted crisply: "I don't! I don't eat!"

"You kid," Concubine Xu sighed helplessly, hugged her into her arms dotingly, and asked softly, "Mother Concubine asked Cui Mu's mother to feed you, okay?"

"Okay!" As soon as I heard that the third princess finally gave her mouth and was willing to eat, Nurse Cui who was waiting under the corridor came over busily, kneeling and feeding the princess, it was strange to say, as soon as the princess saw Nurse Cui, she was intoxicated and tired in her arms, and was fed by Nurse Cui one bite at a time, and obediently ate a fine light.

The emperor frowned and asked Concubine Xu Shu: "Has Yan'er's diet always been fed by Cui's mother?"

Concubine Xu Shufei raised her eyebrows and smiled very comfortably: "Yes, Yan'er has been fed by Mother Cui since she started to eat." Cui's mother is careful, and she has a relationship with Yan'er, as soon as Yan'er sees her, she is obedient and silent! The concubine has Cui's mother, which saves a lot of worry. ”

"Smack!" the emperor slapped the case fiercely, and the Changchun Acacia Cup jumped up, and there was a chaotic sound of ping-pong.

The sound of the sound without warning shook everyone's hearts suddenly, and after a moment of stunnedness, they all left the table in a hurry, and knelt on the ground in unison.

"Concubine, concubine said the wrong thing, please calm the emperor's anger!" Concubine Xu Shu was confused, her face turned pale in panic, "Please reprimand the emperor, the concubine will change!"

"Check!" the emperor snorted, his slightly narrowed eyes shining, "Aunt Cui's hands, clothes, bun hairpin, check for me!"

"Yes!" Qin casually shook off the dust with a respectful face, turned around with a solemn face, and took Nurse Cui down.

After a while, Qin came in casually and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the old slave searched Cui's mother's body, and found nothing, but found a little fine powder in the fabric of the clothes on the cuffs and chest. It has been examined by the Royal Doctor. ”

"Your Majesty," Imperial Physician Liu knelt down and kowtowed, his voice trembling, "The powder in the clothes is the powder that is ground after the mushroom addiction is baked!"

"Poisonous mushroom addiction!" Concubine Xu Shufei changed her gentle calmness, hugged the three words, Xuanyuan Yan trembled, and her voice was hoarse in panic, "Your Majesty! What is that!?Yan'er, will Yan'er be poisoned?!

"Mushroom addiction bacteria can affect the human body from breathing and skin, but it is not fatal, only addictive. The imperial doctor replied tremblingly, "It has the greatest impact on young children, it only takes three days to become addicted, and when they first come into contact, young children will have repeated fevers." ”

After hearing this, Concubine Xu Shufei was stunned, and opened her mouth for a while before she shouted, "Fever repeatedly! My Yan'er, the reason for the fever is not that there is a shortage in the womb, but that someone is trying to harm you!"

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xu Shu knelt down with Yan'er in her arms, stretched out her hand to pull the hem of the emperor's clothes, and said in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to call the shots and protect Yan'er! She is only three years old, who is so ruthless, she can do it! Yan'er is just a princess, who can hinder her?"

"Concubine Shu, don't panic, at will, torture, it is necessary to let Nurse Cui spit out the behind-the-scenes instructions!" The emperor bent down and pulled up Concubine Xu Shu, his voice was deep, "You are quite bold, you dare to hurt my child! Imperial doctor, quickly remove the poison in the third princess!"
