Chapter 83: The Storm
Cherry Biluo, sika deer tendon, Yuntuo eight fresh, red grilled shark fin, butterfly floating in the sea, clear soup swallow vegetables, original cage hosta, sheep ear chicken tower, apricot blossom golden custard, eel fried horseshoe crab, goose gizzard palm soup, crab stuffed, milk, fang yurui soup, shrimp hooves, stir-fried gardenia......
Everything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, and runs on the ground is turned into delicacies by skillful cooks and packed on exquisite plates.
Princess Fuqing's favorite dish is this cherry Biluo.
The transparent, soft crust is wrapped in a bright red filling, and each snack is made into a beautiful plum blossom shape, which is crystal clear and bright red, and the appearance of the snack makes your finger flutter. When you bite into it, it's even more delicious and can make people swallow their tongues.
"Yonghe, this cherry Biluo made by the chef in your house is the true inheritance of Chef Hao in the palace, and the palace wants to ask him to return home." Princess Fuqing quickly finished the cherry Biluo on her plate.
Seeing this, Xie Yanhe hurriedly asked the maid to bring up a new plate.
"Big sister, didn't you notice that the chef in Cousin Yonghe's house is exactly the same as the dim sum made by Chef Hao?" Princess Duanmin picked up the handkerchief and pressed the corner of her lips, and said slowly: "There are also this pine goose oil rolls and lotus root flour cinnamon sugar cake, if I guess correctly, it should also be from Chef Hao." ”
Xie Yanhe coughed, with a light smile on his face: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Your Highness." ”
Princess Fuqing raised her eyebrows: "Third Emperor Sister, your tongue is really a glutton who has not lost for many years, you can taste it." ”
Princess Duanmin winked playfully.
She is only twelve years old this year, and her pink face still has a bit of baby fat, and she looks extremely cute when she does such an action at this moment.
"Don't hide it from my eldest sister, I was going to eat a salted and roasted longan a few days ago, and I asked Master Hao from the imperial dining room to make it, but Lin Zhangshi, who was in charge of the imperial dining room, said that my father rewarded Chef Hao to Cousin Yonghe."
Princess Duanmin tilted her head cutely, and looked at Xie Yanhe with a pair of innocent apricot eyes: "Today is thanks to Cousin Yonghe, I can eat this dim sum." ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, Chef Hao was only lent to me temporarily by His Majesty, and after the banquet is over, I will return the person." Xie Yan and a pair of bright eyes were delicate, she covered her lips and smiled, and said with a playful face: "Keep it and let Your Highness get tired of eating this longan salty and roasted white." ”
"The words of the county lord of Yonghe are so strange. What are the princesses willing to eat in the palace, and do you still use one of your courtiers to arrange it? ”
A slightly shrill female voice came from the top of the cloister in the distance.
Xie Yanhe couldn't help frowning.
Surrounded by a group of servants, a woman wearing a red Luo shirt with four joys and ruyi patterns and a dark blue crane title Ganoderma lucidum makeup Luo skirt came from here.
The woman combed her peony hair, with a red gold crested hairpin inlaid with pearls on her head, a pair of gold-inlaid agate beads, a pair of white jade inlaid beads and exquisite hairpins, two circles of Bohai pink pearls hanging on her neck, a string of magpies and jade jade medals on the skirt, and tassels with plum blossom wishful knots below.
As the woman got closer and closer, the three pairs of gold and jade bracelets on her wrist and the seven or eight rings on her hand collided and clanged. A magnificent dress makes people can't open their eyes.
"This palace is talking to Cousin Yonghe, do you need to talk more?"
Without waiting for Xie Yanhe to speak, Princess Duanmin said slowly.
The sleeves of her robe flicked slightly, and then the gin bottle on the desk was swept onto the grass on the ground. The glow of the wine immediately spread a dark red stain on the carpet of the dark golden grape twigs.
The woman was stunned, obviously she didn't expect that she was obviously helping Princess Duanmin speak, but she was lost face by Princess Duanmin.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? I am the aunt of Her Royal Highness and the princess canonized by the imperial court! Could it be that in front of His Highness, I am not even qualified to say a word? The woman's face was shocked and angry.
"Auntie? You are just Uncle Chen's step-concubine, and you dare to put your aunt's shelf in front of the palace! ”
Princess Duanmin changed her innocent demeanor, her immature eyebrows and eyes revealed a thick sarcasm, but her tone was still slow: "My mother's family is broken, and it took 10,000 taels of silver to join the princess's maiden family, and I relied on my beauty to attach Uncle Chen...... Your identity as Princess Chen, it's just a matter of fooling outsiders, and you are playing prestige in front of the palace, are you crazy? ! ”
Although Princess Duanmin is young, the sharpness of her tongue is not inferior to her two sisters. These words really lifted Princess Chen's face.
Princess Chen's face was red and white, and her expression was very ugly.
It was still Princess Ying who was a little unbearable, and smiled to help Princess Chen relieve the siege: "Sanniang, don't stand there stupidly, you are late, you should punish yourself for three cups." ”
It's just that the British princess once again personally deduced what a failed round is.
Princess Yichang snorted lightly and said lazily: "Uncle, although you have a good heart, some people may like to stand!" ”
Princess Chen and the crown princess had a close relationship. Princess Yichang was tired of the house and Wu, and she was very unpleasant to Princess Chen, but as a result, this unknown woman dared to teach her own sister a lesson as an elder, where could Princess Yichang endure it!
The two princesses showed their dislike for Princess Chen at the same time, and the identity of the guests present was not higher than that of their sisters, who would dare to help Princess Chen out of the siege.
It was the British princess, who also silently picked up the food bowl on the table, took the honey in front of the chopsticks, and tasted the juice, and the expression was like enjoying the supreme deliciousness.
Princess Chen was robbed by Princess Duanmin and Princess Yichang repeatedly, her face seemed to be burning, under her curved and thin hanging eyebrows, a pair of flattering fox eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, and said without hesitation: "No wonder the princess often says that several princesses are arrogant, have no rules, and don't put the eldest sister-in-law in their eyes. ”
This was originally the grievance of the crown princess Chen Rong and Princess Chen in private, and when Chen Rong said this, she never imagined that one day Princess Chen would say it in public.
"Presumptuous!" Princess Fuqing took the case, she picked up the Chang'e Moon-Burning Gilded Tin pot on the table, and threw it in the direction of Princess Chen.
If it weren't for the maid behind Princess Chen who reacted quickly enough and pushed Princess Chen away, if Princess Fuqing smashed it this time, she would have to smash Princess Chen's head and break the bloodstream.
Princess Yichang and Princess Duanmin also stood up, their two similar faces ignited with anger, and they glared angrily at Princess Chen at the same time.
Only then did Princess Chen realize that she had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and she couldn't help but secretly regret her gaffe. But thinking of the promise given to her by the crown princess, her knees, which were a little weak under the anger of the three princesses, couldn't help but straighten up.
"Princess Chen, if you say that the palace is not educated, did you say it, or did the imperial sister-in-law say it?" Princess Yichang's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, and she seemed to be smiling, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
The ladies who went to the banquet today never thought that there would be such a storm at the banquet, involving the battle in the harem.
There is only Princess Chen, a fool, who is the respect of the princess, but she wants to surrender her identity and be a pawn for the princess to charge into battle.
Sure enough, Princess Chen was like Princess Duanmin scolding, a broken household that couldn't be put on the table.
While secretly hating Princess Chen for having nothing to do, the ladies shrank themselves into quails, and they did not dare to speak, lest they be affected by the anger of the three princesses.
Princess Chen, who was at the center of the storm, held on to her arrogant expression, and said in front of the three princesses: "Of course it was the crown princess who said it. The princesses, as golden branches and jade leaves, are royal examples, and they should be nurturing, guard against arrogance and luxury, be cautious and generous......"
"Palm!" Princess Fuqing couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded the female officials beside her: "Beat her mouth to the palace!" Uncle Chen, this palace will explain! ”
Princess Fuqing ordered a ban. The female official Chunxue came to Princess Chen's side with an arrow step, and her fast Princess Chen's maid had not yet reacted, "Slap-" A loud slap fell on Princess Chen's face.
Xie Yanhe secretly glanced at the mandarin duck.
The mandarin duck slapped his hands very neatly.
The healthy women in the garden rushed up and quickly restrained Princess Chen's maid.
"Hit this palace hard until she can't say a word!" Princess Fuqing said lightly. The arrogance and contempt in her eyebrows seemed to have no regard for Princess Chen at all.
Hearing this, Princess Chen, who was held down by Princess Fuqing's maidservant, was terrified to death, and she struggled hard...... But the handmaid who grabbed her arm was like iron tongs, and the more Princess Chen struggled, the more she suffered.
"Bang, bang, bang......" The slap sound was one after another, and the sound of the slap falling on the skin and flesh was crisp and loud, even drowning the sound of silk and bamboo in the garden.
Princess Chen's sideburns were scattered, her face was high and swollen, and there was still half a bright and bright appearance.
is usually used to living a pampered life, but suddenly suffered such a "heavy punishment", where can Princess Chen endure it, the pain and humiliation of the slap on her face made her feel that life is worse than death......
Princess Chen wanted to open her mouth to beg for mercy, but Princess Fuqing didn't give her a chance to speak. The slap that landed on her face didn't even make a gap.
Just when Princess Chen was full of despair, a fairy sound suddenly came from her buzzing ears.
"Big sister, today is Cousin Yonghe's banquet, and the execution here is too unlucky." Princess Yichang said slowly.
Princess Chen suddenly raised a pair of eyes full of hope, but soon, the hope in her eyes was shattered.
Because Princess Yichang followed closely and said: "Let the subordinates drag it down, and slowly fight it." ”
Princess Fuqing said lightly: "I didn't hear what the imperial sister said, drag people down." ”
This small episode at the banquet once again made everyone see how ruthless these three golden branches and jade leaves under the knee of Emperor Jianyuan were, and punished a princess of the prince's palace in public, for these golden branches and jade leaves, it is no different from killing a maid.
At the same time, because of Princess Chen's words, the contradictions between the East Palace and the princesses were exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
I just don't know...... Daughter-in-law and biological daughter, who will Your Majesty be more inclined to.
"It's all my fault, I invited such a villain today, which ruined the mood of the three highnesses." Seeing that the dust had settled, Xie Yan and Fu bowed and confessed to the three princesses.
"Yonghe, the post was written for you by this palace." Princess Fuqing sat down slowly, and there was still a trace of disgust in her gorgeous eyebrows: "If this palace had known that Princess Chen was so ignorant, she would have knocked on the door of King Chen's mansion a long time ago." ”
"As for the good imperial sister-in-law in this palace...... Princess Fuqing sneered, and said sarcastically: "When the ban is lifted in the East Palace, this palace will have to drag the imperial brother to my father and emperor to distinguish it well." Between the words, the crown princess was regarded as nothing.
"Big sister, you have already opened a mansion, no better than me and Duan Min are still in the palace, and you are well-informed. Just two years ago, the imperial sister-in-law was holding a copy of "Women's Ring" for us to memorize! Princess Yichang's sweet voice was full of ridicule.
Let the princesses memorize "The Female Ring", and it is also thanks to the poisonous woman of the Chen family who came up with it!
Princess Yichang snorted coldly in her heart, the princess is the king, the concubine is the minister, only the concubine revolves around the princess, and I haven't heard of the need for the princess to serve the concubine's family.
Two years ago, after Princess Yichang received the "Female Ring" sent by the crown princess, she ran to Emperor Jianyuan the next day to cry.
Emperor Jianyuan was furious when he heard this, and immediately summoned the prince to reprimand him, and strictly ordered the prince not to interfere in the affairs of his sisters in the future.
Presumably, the grudge with Chen Rong was formed at that time.
Chen Rong will not shy away from this, in front of Princess Chen, a foreign wife, she dares to speak ill of their sisters without concealment!
Princess Yichang was ruthless in her heart: This matter is definitely not over!
"The Female Ring? It is probably because the crown princess herself is used to copying it, so she will take this book as a guide. ”
Princess Fuqing's sweet voice interrupted Princess Yichang's thoughts, her gorgeous phoenix eyes were full of coldness, and Shi Shiran said: "The crown princess should study hard and how to be a qualified sister-in-law." ”
Hearing this, Xie Yan and his red lips bent almost invisibly.
The crown princess accused the princesses of being uneducated, not only was they not friendly, but they were also suspected of talking about their elders, and the crime of unfilial piety has been confirmed.
In the clan, there are many people who have opinions about Chen Rong, and now that they have heard Princess Chen's words, they are afraid that they will have no good impression of Chen Rong in their hearts.
The thought in his heart flashed, and Xie Yanhe chuckled and said, "Okay, let's not talk about those things that are uninteresting." The dancing girl in my house has rehearsed a new dance, called "Dongting Spring Moon", and all of you here are experts, and I have to bother you to help me palm my eyes. ”
Xie Yanhe clapped his hands, and the melodious and charming music suddenly changed, and the crisp and passionate pipa sound gradually rose, intertwined with the soft and clear gonghou sound, like raindrops as tight and cheerful.
Dancers dressed in colorful brocade costumes waded through the water and appeared on the lotus pond not far away.
