Chapter 10: Acacia Honey (1)
Han Chuan held the tray in his hand, walked with his head down, and turned around when he met a nobleman who was traveling, so that his face and the wall were in close contact with each other.
It's probably that the weather is cool, and the nobles in the palace seem to be able to finally let off steam.
This way passed, Han Chuan faced the wall three times, knelt down to avoid twice, and walked very tortuously.
It's no wonder that when serving dishes, you should leave half an hour for freshness.
For example, to make jade white jade soup, you should start the soup when the cabbage stalks are half-cooked and uncooked, put them in a closed and insulated purple casserole, and use the residual temperature of this way to simmer the cabbage just right.
This is a test of the craftsmanship of the masters.
Therefore, many small owners who do not have enough kitchens, not enough positions, not enough grace, and no special name in the inner dining room, the meals and soups they eat and drink every day are either cold or overcooked...
Changle Palace is in the east, not far from the Taiji Hall where the saint lives, not far from the Taiye Pool with the water waves and blue water, the lake and the mountain view, and the dining room, if the foot is fast, it is only half an hour, and the location is considered to be superior in the East and West Twelve Palaces.
Yang Shufei likes apricot blossoms, the apricot trees outside the Changle Palace are lush and planted more than 20 plants, now there are no apricot blossoms and no apricots at this time, the palace people do not deliberately prune the branches, lush and green, very little game interest.
Han Chuan entrusted the food box to Aunt Su Jin, and Ah Chan knelt at the door of the main hall, kowtowed three times upright, and the voices of the two girls were crisp and crisp, "The number A of the inner dining room Xie Niangniang reward, I wish Niangniang peace and happiness, and all things are healthy!" ”
It just so happened that there was a woman dressed as an aunt who was wearing a dark silk trim, her hair was tied up and hanging behind her ears, and a pair of pearl earrings came from the corridor, followed by two grandmothers in coarse linen clothes, one of whom had her head down, but her eyes were purring, and her mouth was covered with a mole, and she was not an honest person.
Han Chuan and Cicada hurriedly knelt to the side.
Aunt Su Jin came out of the inner hall, and the leading aunt glanced at Han Chuan and A Cicada, and said in a self-contained tone, "The new girl from Changle Palace?" ”
Han Chuan lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the bluestone slab, and only heard Aunt Su Jin laugh, as if there was a string in her words, "Aunt Sun, you can talk and laugh!" Changle Palace is not the realm where the severance is not known. The queen is cutting off the habitual people around her for the sake of the treasury and silver! We don't know anything else, follow what we learn and do, we still have to use it.... These two girls are the people in the dining room of the court..."
blurred the meaning of Han Chuan and A Cicada.
Su Jin paused for a moment and changed his tone, "Come on, your intentions, Concubine Niangniang knows, take the brand and go out." ”
Han Chuan buried his head low, and answered in a low voice, and when Su Jin and the aunt walked away, he and A Cicada stood up, and found the small palace people to redeem the sign of the inner palace, three steps and two steps buried his head, the corners of his mouth were tightened, and he stepped out of the gate of Changle Palace, A Cicada exhaled a long breath, ".... It just scared the hell out of me..."
Han Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
For those who can decide their life and death at will, it is always good to breathe a sigh of relief.
“... The aunt looked at the real face. Cicada whispered, "I haven't seen it in the dining room." If it is the aunt in charge of the palace, she should also have been to the inner dining room... After all, the masters will occasionally have a particularly important explanation of their food..."
For example, the saint is coming, or the mother's family comes to the palace, or the prince and princess are on their birthday...
At this time, the masters of each palace will send the right-hand people around them to the dining room to check the list-otherwise, how could Grandpa Bai know Aunt Su Jin?
In the inner palace, there are palace people everywhere who walk in pairs.
Han Chuan didn't answer immediately, and when he walked to a secluded place with A Cicada, he whispered, "People go to the imperial dining room, and if they don't come to the inner dining room, how can we meet?" ”
A cicada covered her mouth with an "ah", "It's the person next to the queen?" ”
Han Chuan nodded.
Those two grandmothers are estimated to be the food and drink grandmothers that the queen gave to the concubine.
Han Chuan sighed invisibly, seeing that Su Jin's attitude towards that aunt was already very respectful, Concubine Shu and the queen didn't have any Liangzi, one was the side concubine when the saint was in the palace, the other was the main room, both of them had sons, the second son born to Queen Gong and the eighth son of the emperor born to Concubine Shu a few years ago, the difference was eight years old! Queen Gong's hand, but it directly cut off the way for Concubine Shu to accept favor... The saints don't stay in Changle Palace anymore, and the relationship between the concubine and the saint will only get shallower and weaker...
Between women and women, even if there is no beam, even if one party respects the other, even if there is no way at all... There is no scruple about starting it.
The corridor of the palace is long and narrow, and Han Chuan looks at the square sky that is divided by red walls and green tiles.
are all people trapped in cages, can they only be trapped beasts?
There are also noble people in the aisle.
Han Chuan and A Cicada hurriedly knelt down facing the wall.
A cold scent of pine and cedar came from behind him.
Han Chuan's eyes widened, her nails pressed into the flesh of her palm, and when the noble man walked by, Han Chuan looked up and glanced at it, the indigo embroidered silver silk robe was ten meters away, as if as long as the wind blew, she could see the side face of that person.
Han Chuan trembled a little, pulled up the cicada and walked to another road, a few turns, there were fewer people, and the place became more secluded.
Han Chuan leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, took out a hawthorn mud pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth, the smell of mint in his nose suddenly made Han Chuan's head freeze, and the sound of his heartbeat that sounded like thunder slowly eased.
Cicada knew that Han Chuan suddenly had heart palpitations, so she let Han Chuan lean on herself and bear most of the weight, "Is it heart palpitations again?" Also, if we get sick in the inner palace corridor and are seen, we both have to move out of the dining room... Are you better? ”
Han Chuan nodded lightly and pinched Ah Cicada's palm, indicating that it was okay.
A Cicada only helped Han Chuan to follow his back, while looking left and right, seeing that it was secluded, lush with vegetation, and he could vaguely see the Taiye Pool in the distance through the climbing vines, and there was a three-story carved building not far away, so he smiled, "Where is this?" How do you turn left and right, and here you are! ”
Han Chuan also laughed.
This place is the southwest corner of Taiye Pond, Xu Yi has a cold temperament, and he has few words, he likes to read books in a secluded place, and he searched for a long time before he found this stage left by the previous dynasty, and he jokingly called the three-story building his annex and library pavilion...
Han Chuan's smile gradually faded, straightened his clothes, and was about to leave with Cicada, but he heard a few muffled hums and a series of heavy steps not far away.
Han Chuan hurriedly pulled A Cicada to squat down, dodging into the bushes, Han Chuan tiptoed through the gap between the branches to see three eunuchs, dragging a thin palace daughter to walk into the bushes, the palace daughter was stuffed with a white cloth strip in her mouth, unkempt, desperate struggle but could not withstand the strength of the three men!
One of the eunuchs raised his head.
It is the apprentice of Cui Dahai of Changle Palace, Xiao Zhuozi!
Cicada gripped Han Chuan's hand tightly.
Han Chuan held his breath and finally saw the face of the daughter of the palace clearly.
It's Xiao Qiu'er of the Huanyi Bureau.
