Chapter 116: Sweet to the Heart
Sure enough, when Empress Dowager Li heard Qi Yu say this, her expression suddenly turned slightly pale.
Seeing this, Qi Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't talk to Huang Yi'an about it, because since the edict spread all over the world, he and her hardly spoke alone, and the most intimate contact was the brief but beautiful touch when the paper kite was released on the shore of Yanxia Lake in Nanhaizi during the Shangsi Festival......
Qi Yu coughed lightly, and suddenly felt that there was some heat in the hall, and when he turned his head, he saw that the ice in the ice basin in the corner of the house had just melted half.
Empress Dowager Li relieved the suspicions in her heart, and saw that Qi Yu did not take the opportunity to have a seizure, and explained for Huang Yi'an, and she was very relieved.
Since the election of the Imperial Court, the emperor has become more and more thoughtful, and his opposition and dissatisfaction with her and Zhang Shoufu's harsh teachings have become more and more frequent.
This time, she cut first and then played, directly set Huang Yi'an as the queen, and completely cut off Zheng Yuyan's way to the queen, I thought that the emperor would be very angry, and she was ready for a mother-son confrontation, who knew that although the emperor was shocked and angry when he heard about this matter, after hearing her say all the benefits of Huang Yi'an, he unexpectedly accepted it calmly.
After the Shangsi Festival Nanhaizi stepped on the spring to pray for blessings, the emperor revealed his expectations for the big wedding from time to time.
And now that the emperor obviously has a chance to have a seizure, he gently lifted it with a word, and the heart she was hanging on was finally completely relaxed.
"It's not comparable, you have to try it to know." Empress Dowager Li said with a smile, turned her head and instructed Mama Qing, "Send someone to the sweet room to Xuan Yang to come along." ”
Yang Yiyi is the imperial chef who specializes in making 100 jelly milk for Empress Dowager Li.
Mama Qing was shocked when she heard this.
Right now?
are all in charge, and they want to summon Yang to try a new recipe for Baiguo custard?
Qi Yu persuaded: "Queen Mother, although it is hot now, it is cold at night. Even if the imperial chef makes it, you can't eat too much. Why don't you wait until tomorrow afternoon and try it again? ”
Empress Dowager Li thought for a long time before agreeing.
If it weren't for the concern that Huang Yi'an was not thinking about eating and drinking in the palace privately, she would have summoned Yang to try it out when she saw Fang Zi.
endured all night, and early the next morning, Empress Dowager Li ordered the palace people to go to the sweet room to summon Yang Yiyi.
Yang Yiyi soon received the order.
He has long been accustomed to the summons that the Empress Dowager Li has raised from time to time because of Baiguo jelly milk.
After the worship ceremony, Empress Dowager Li instructed Mama Qing to hand Yang Yiyi the new recipe for 100 fruit jelly milk and asked, "Do you see if this recipe is feasible?" ”
Yang Yi respectfully took the prescription and looked at it carefully.
The recipe is not much different from the recipe he usually makes 100 fruit jelly milk, except that he has changed a few kinds of fruits, added a few spices, and replaced the ice cubes with ice chips, and the milk has also changed to remove the smell.
Yang Yi looked at it for a long time to confirm that there was no problem, and then bowed back and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, there should be nothing wrong with this recipe, and these spices added to it also have the effect of neutralizing the cold and warming the stomach, but I don't know if the taste has an impact." ”
When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she didn't have to go back to the sweets room even if she ordered Yang Yi, so she tried it out directly in the small kitchen of Qianqing Palace.
Yang Yiyi was also determined to verify this new prescription, and immediately received the order.
After a while, Yang Yiyi held the newly made 100 fruit jelly milk and presented it to the Empress Dowager Li excitedly.
When Empress Dowager Li saw this, she knew that it was done, and she was very happy.
Mama Qing tried it with a small silver spoon first, and when she saw that there was nothing wrong, she offered it to Empress Dowager Li.
Empress Dowager Li reserved a small silver spoon and tasted it with a handkerchief covering her lips.
As soon as the cold, sweet milky and fruity flavor slips into the mouth, it immediately spreads between the lips and teeth, tantalizing every taste bud.
Empress Dowager Li's eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to taste it, so she couldn't wait to scoop up the next spoonful.
Spoonful after spoonful.
After eating a bowl of 100 fruit jelly milk, Empress Dowager Li stopped.
took a handkerchief and printed her lips, and Empress Dowager Li happily instructed Mama Qing: "Look at the reward." ”
When Mama Qing saw it, she rewarded Yang Yi with a few more silver coins than usual.
Yang Yi hurriedly took it with both hands, and bowed down to thank Empress Dowager Li.
Empress Dowager Li said with a smile: "Today's taste is fresher and smoother than usual, not to mention the milky smell is gone, and the milky and fruity aroma seems to have become more mellow." ”
Yang Yiyi hurriedly bowed down and replied: "This recipe has changed the method to remove the smell of the milk, and it is supplemented by spices, so it can be effective." ”
Empress Dowager Li nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Then in the future, let's do it according to this method, just add or subtract four fresh fruits." ”
In the past, she could only eat a small bowl a day in midsummer due to the cold and cold, but now with this recipe that can neutralize the cold qi, she can also quench her cravings.
Yang Yiyi naturally promised again and again.
If Empress Dowager Li eats one more bowl, he will be able to get one more reward, so why not?
It's just that I don't know who this party is dedicating, and when we meet, he will definitely express his gratitude to the other party.
After waving Yang away, Empress Dowager Li picked up the silver spoon again and savored the remaining half bowl of 100 fruit jelly milk.
After serving the Empress Dowager Li, she rinsed her mouth and praised with a smile: "This recipe for 100 jelly milk, the sweet room has also changed a lot, but every time it is either the taste is wrong, or it is too cold, and the Queen Mother is so tired that she can't enjoy it."
"Now that I have this recipe, I can finally enjoy it with confidence."
Empress Dowager Li nodded with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that child to be so popular, not to mention that even her cooking skills are so good!" Do you remember that people went to Ciqing Palace to say something, and decided when to go to the Huang family to pass on the reward. ”
The desire of the mouth is important, but what is even more rare is the carefulness and filial piety of this child.
Mama Qing responded with a smile.
"By the way, Your Majesty will also send a bowl there." Empress Dowager Li smiled meaningfully.
Seeing that the emperor is becoming more and more satisfied with Huang Yi'an, she, the "big media", has to add more fire.
Qing Mama understood, bowed down to receive the order, and arranged it in person.
……
In the imperial study, Qi Yu was talking with Yu Keyuan about the classics of the sages.
After a tour, when the monarch and ministers took a break, Tian Yi took a hundred fruit jelly milk and offered it.
Qi Yu looked at Tian Yi in surprise.
He has rarely eaten sweets, and he rarely touches ice drinks such as 100 fruit jelly milk, firstly, for the health of the dragon, and secondly, he prefers to drink fragrant tea compared to these sweet and cold cold drinks.
Tian Yi didn't serve him on the first day, so it was impossible not to understand his preferences.
Tian Yi understood and replied: "This is sent by the Queen Mother, saying that it is made according to Miss Huang's new recipe, and it is sent to Your Majesty to taste." ”
Empress Dowager Li has always been very active and serious about matching the feelings of the emperor and queen, for fear that the emperor will dislike the empress Huang Yi'an whom she personally appointed because he could not appoint Zheng Yuyan as the queen.
Qi Yu knows this well and is happy to see it happen.
Qi Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he raised his hand to take it, and said very filtily: "Since it was specially ordered by the queen mother, then I naturally have to taste it with my heart." ”
With that, he scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
Yu Keyuan, who was waiting for Qi Yu to share his 100 jelly milk as usual: ......
Alas, forget it, since it is Empress Dowager Li's motherly feelings, then Your Majesty naturally does not need to share it with her courtiers.
Yu Keyuan silently poured himself a cup of tea and sat down to drink it.
Tian Yi saw that Qi Yu had eaten a whole bowl of 100 fruit jelly milk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his face was not obvious, but he was secretly frightened: When did Your Majesty like sweets? As a close servant, why didn't he see it at all?
Oh, yes, Your Majesty has always been filial to his mother, and he thought it was for entertaining his relatives, so he pretended to like this 100 jelly milk very much!
Your Majesty is truly the most filial king!
Yu Keyuan and Tian Yi sighed secretly.
