Chapter 86: The Empress of the Cold Palace is Back (45)
Everyone in the main hall was shocked, and it was unheard of to see such a beautifully carved phoenix for the first time, and it was also shining with golden light.
"This is the birthday gift given by the concubine to the Queen Mother, called 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix', which means that the monarch of the Daxing Dynasty is holy and the world is dependent, and the Queen Mother is highly respected and expected."
Su Su introduced the meaning of the golden phoenix and the congratulatory message, and then bent down to salute the emperor and the queen mother.
"Good! What a hundred birds and a phoenix! Concubine Shu has a heart, this gift is very fond of the mourning family, the mourning family is the first time to see such a rare thing, no wonder the emperor always mentions in front of the mourning family that you have a seven-trick exquisite heart, now it seems that this is really the case! ”
The Queen Mother is so happy that the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are wrinkled, the phoenix means auspicious, only the most noble woman in the world is worthy of a comparison, such a gorgeous and dazzling phoenix compared to her, how can you not like it!
The Queen Mother is an extremely good-looking person, and these have been known by Su Su Times, so she thought of making such a gorgeous and dazzling dish to her liking, and sure enough, the Queen Mother liked it very much.
"Concubine Li's Su family has a meritorious gift, come to someone, reward!" The Queen Mother couldn't wait to appreciate the dishes before she even tasted them, so it can be seen that she really likes it.
The golden phoenix shone for a few minutes, and after a while the light faded until it was gone.
Without the obstruction of golden light, the image of the phoenix is more clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.
"Good! This knife work, carved just like the real thing, is so exquisite! ”
"Yes! It was as if there really was a phoenix standing on the main hall. ”
……
Everyone was amazed when they saw it.
"Concubine Shu, what material is your phoenix carved from, how can it still emit a dazzling golden light?"
Huang Nangong Mo smiled and asked everyone's questions, and at the same time looked at Su Su's eyes full of recognition and appreciation.
"That's right! Bengong also wants to know that Sister Shu is really ingenious, and everyone in the hall is shocked and admired by her sister's phoenix. Concubine Shu didn't care at all that Su Su had stolen the limelight from her before, and praised with a smile
Su Su bowed to the two of them, "Back to the emperor's mother, the material used for this carving is actually an ordinary pumpkin, and the reason why it emits golden light is because the concubine sprinkled a layer of special edible gold powder on it, so it has this effect." ”
Su Su looked at the golden phoenix and introduced, and then picked up the knife on the side and slashed the golden phoenix from the middle with a neat movement......
As soon as you cut it open, colorful flowers bloom inside, and in the middle are colorful granular food.
Wow!
Everyone looked at the light in front of them, and the phoenix bloomed with prosperity in its belly, this thought is really wonderful!
"The Queen Mother, the real doorway is inside! You try it and see how it tastes! Su Su raised his lips and smiled.
The Queen Mother nodded, and the eunuch immediately picked up the 'Hundred Birds and Phoenix' and came to her, and the Queen Mother picked up the silver spoon next to her and scooped it up and handed it to her mouth......
Everyone looked at the Queen Mother's expression suddenly brightened after tasting the hundred birds and the phoenix, and the corners of her mouth showed a satisfied and aftertaste smile, and after eating a spoonful, the Queen Mother ate several spoonfuls in a row before giving up.
It seems that the Queen Mother is also very satisfied with the taste of this dish.
"Very tasty! It's eight-treasure porridge and fragrant and delicious chicken, and the flavor blends together wonderfully! Shu Concubine, it seems that the mourning family really underestimated you before, this time it really completely captured the stomach of the mourning family, and the mourning family wants to reward you heavily! ”
This is the second time that the Queen Mother has proposed to reward Su Su, and it seems that this time the concubine really got the Queen Mother's blue eyes.
"Concubine thank the Queen Mother for her reward, the Queen Mother is happy to eat, and I will be satisfied with the concubine!" Su Su smiled sweetly and saluted again to thank him.
Queen Song Xiwen on the side was not as shocked as everyone else after seeing the golden phoenix, and her face was puzzled, and she glanced at Su Su thoughtfully.
Everyone was talking and admiring, and suddenly an old, calm, slightly dry voice attracted everyone's attention.
"Oops! The old body hasn't been in the palace for a long time, I didn't know that the daughter of the old Prime Minister Su Su has changed so much, not only has she become beautiful, but her cooking skills are so good, I remember that she stayed in the cold palace, and now she has become a concubine again, what a big change! ”
The voice of the old man who suddenly appeared was hoarse but loud, and everyone in the hall understood it, and instantly became quiet.
Su Su was also stunned, who is this old man? How do you know who you are?
She felt a little flustered in her heart, but she immediately calmed down and smiled, and bowed to the old lady with an elegant and polite posture, "This lady, you can recognize the wrong person, how can the concubine be the abolished queen Su clan?" Although it is a surname, the concubine grew up outside the palace to learn cooking skills since she was a child, and after entering the palace, she entered the imperial dining room, which is very different from the Su family! ”
"That's right, Mrs. Wang, you're old and confused, aren't you? How can this man be recognized casually! Don't talk nonsense, people's concubines are beautiful and fairy, how can they be ugly after the abolition... It's comparable! A lady next to her who didn't know very well said.
After the abolition of Su Su in the palace, Su Su's name has almost become taboo, and no one can mention it, which is also an order once given by the emperor.
That's why as soon as the old lady said it, the scene would be so quiet.
"Mother, stop talking nonsense, you recognize the wrong person!" A middle-aged lady next to the old lady whispered to stop.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was embarrassing, the emperor looked ugly, and was busy smiling.
"Mrs. Wang, have you eaten too much wine and food, come here, help Mrs. Wang go down to rest!" Concubine Shu smiled softly, and looked at Su Su after the order, "Sister Shu, don't mind, you may not know, this old lady Wang is eighty years old, she is the mother of the late Wang Jinjun, the old general, and her memory loss always recognizes the wrong person, and she also says one or two inexplicable words from time to time, these are already known to everyone, so you should make a joke." ”
With this explanation, Su Shu understood why the old lady was talking nonsense in the hall, and the emperor and the queen mother were not angry to stop it, the mother of the original Wang Lao Jinjun general.
General Wang's name Daxing is well known, it can be said that Daxing can defeat the Yan State and let the first emperor unify the Central Plains, the biggest hero is General Wang, General Wang Lao fought on the battlefield, and made great contributions to Daxing, and the new General Wang was also named the prince of the opposite sex.
"I see, the concubine doesn't mind!" Su Su shook his head and laughed back.
"Concubine Shu is tired from standing for so long, go back and sit down and rest." Nangong Mo didn't pay attention to the old lady's words at all, and just looked at Su Su with a doting face.
Su Su ignored the salute and returned to his seat.
The palace maid beside Concubine Shu over there was trying to help the old lady down, but she didn't expect the old lady to stubbornly not want to go, "Oops! How could the old body admit its mistake, the old body is sober! This Su Su girl is seven or eight points old when she was a child, she was not so fat at that time, and she was also a fair and beautiful little girl, the old body would never admit that she was wrong, it was her! ”
The old lady suddenly lost her temper, and pointed in the direction of Su Su and repeated that she had not admitted her mistake or not......
The scene was even more embarrassing, and the Queen Mother finally spoke, "Old sister, don't talk nonsense, you're tired, go back to rest, mourn your family......"
Then before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother's face suddenly became painful and distorted, and then suddenly spurted out a large mouthful of blood......
"Ahh
"Queen Mother!"
"The Queen Mother's ......"
