Chapter 24: Four Dim Sum
Wang Chongrong finished playing the last bit of the tune with his fingertips, and put his hands on the strings. got up and bowed again: "Your Majesty, the song is closed." The concubine just brought a few plates of snacks. His Majesty has no appetite, and now the prince has served a pot of good tea, I don't know if His Majesty wants to taste the craftsmanship of the concubine, and he also looks at the concubine and thinks that the cooking skills have improved. ”
The voice was sweet and soft, and it was really like a snack. The emperor saw that she was soft and soft, and his relaxed mood was also soothed a lot. So he said to Huachuan: "The scenery of the side hall is good, and a few more stoves are placed." Take my Xuanhu big coat to put on my concubine. ”
He turned his head sideways and said to Han Shu: "You go too, your body is weak." You don't have to stand for a while. Han Su followed the two, and when he was close to the qin, he found the word Jinse engraved on the qin. But I felt that this piano was very familiar, as if I had seen it before.
Wang Chongrong took out the delicate lacquer box in the copper hanger, and served the dishes of dim sum to the table. The plate is indeed very good, a set of four plates of white porcelain with butterflies, depicted with blue butterflies and a few lifelike flowers, as if they were fired using enamel techniques. The glaze is very shiny, and with the four-color pastry, it is very appetizing.
Huachuan got the signal and put three dishes and chopsticks on the back row of the seat for Han Su. Wang Chongrong pointed to a plate of plum blossom-like pastries printed on the head of a half-inch square with his palm and said: "This is the plum blossom tofu newly made by the concubine, the first taste is light, but the aftertaste has the dark fragrance of plum blossoms." ”
He pointed to another plate of rose-shaped purple snacks and said, "This dish is slightly sweeter, and it is made of purple acacia dew and steamed layer by layer." Sweet and sweet. ”
A bamboo leaf is the base, but the milky white pastry is common, she said: "This is a white jade frost square cake, and the concubine knows that the pastry made by the imperial dining room is made of sweet milk." The concubine made it with fermented yogurt, which was very appetizing. The last dish is a pastry made of crispy taro and salted duck yellow. Because it looks like the moon of the sixteenth night when it is cut, it has two names, red moon cake or sixteen yellow. If Your Majesty likes this pastry, you should give it a name. ”
The emperor was really attracted by the taro pastry on the plate depicting the white magnolia flowers, and the chopsticks picked up a piece for Han Su and said, "I have never seen this snack, look good, you can taste it." ”
Han Su was frightened, and was about to get up to thank him, but he was instructed by the emperor to say: "There is no need to entangle these red tapes with a snack, feel comfortable." ”
Wang Chongrong squinted at Han Su, he never thought that the girl in front of him was so favored, but it was not like the kind of love of the favorite concubine. After playing, the smile on his face deepened.
Seeing that the emperor had already taken a bite, Han Shu dared to divide a little bit of the silver chopsticks and put them in his lips to chew. Although the taste is good, it is inevitably restrained in front of the emperor, and it is not tasteful in the end.
The Emperor asked her, "Girl, how would you like this snack?" ”
Han Su took out a little duck egg yolk and put it in his mouth and tasted it: "Weichen thinks the taste is excellent, and it has the taste of Du Xun Crisp." Too much halva and scallion oil will inevitably get greasy, but this snack is very different, with a full aftertaste and very delicious. ”
Wang Chongrong smiled and said: "Miss Han Su is really an expert, this method is really an imitation of halva, but the taste is more tranquil and peaceful." ”
The emperor tasted it again and said, "Concubine Ai's cooking skills are much better, it seems that I have to give this snack a name." Crispy girl, I've been reading a lot lately, think about it. Let's see if I can get into the eyes of my concubine, be careful. ”
Han Su looked at the golden pastry, and remembered the moonlight that night, gorgeous and desolate. Then he felt something in his heart: "This cake is like the moon of the sixteenth night, and the moon of the sixteenth of the eighth month is indeed as big as the sun, and the night is very beautiful." Weichen thought, the three words of Yeyang Crisp, I don't know what Niangniang and His Majesty think? ”
After listening to it, she felt that it was very meaningful, nodded and said with a smile: "The cold girl deserves to be praised by His Majesty, and the concubine feels that the two words of Yeyang are both beautiful and very courageous, after all, this snack is for Your Majesty." The name is also atmospheric. ”
The emperor nodded and instructed Huachuan: "You ask the imperial dining room to make a copy and send it to the palaces." ”
The emperor said again: "Girl, in the past few days, I have been practicing swords in the four courtyards. I see that you are a little lazy, and there is weakness at the junction of the sword and the sword flower, what is the reason? But the body has not recovered? ”
Han Shu sighed meaningfully, so he said: "Recently, I feel that the swordsmanship has some superficial skills, and it is all elegant." When I practiced, I was a little overwhelmed. ”
The emperor laughed a few times, and looked at the person in front of him really like Qiushui's complaint when he was a child, and said: "The last time you talked like this, it was—" He paused and said: "That's it, I have met with the swordsmen of Fusang in the past few days, and their swordsmanship is extremely interesting, you have laid a good foundation in the past few days, and you will also learn their swordsmanship in a few days." Do things, be solid and humble, and only then will it be beneficial. ”
Han Shu lowered his head and nodded again: "Weichen obeys the order, thank you for your grace." ”
At one time, the palace people outside came, and the military attendant came by order, and the emperor asked her two to go back.
Before leaving the palace gate, Wang Chongrong looked at her meaningfully, sneered and said to the people beside him: "Go back to the palace." ”
Han Su replied and said, "Congratulations to the full mother." ”
When her sedan chair was far away, Han Shu looked at her distant shadow from afar, a calculated and bright red.
Back in the palace, Fang's tense body relaxed a little. Ming'er helped her take off heavy clothes such as clogs and retreated.
Xing'er called her happily, holding a box of tea and said, "Girl, look at it." This is the tea sent by the prince of Qi. Too good to be true? ”
Han Su looked at the beautiful box and said with a smile: "Miss Xing'er, do you think the tea is too good?" Or is this box too good? ”
Xing'er buckled the box and exaggerated: "What's the matter with the box and the tea, this is rewarded by King Qi." Even a handful of leaves is too good to be true. ”
Han Shu thought of which person at this time, and asked a little strangely: "This Qi Wang Ye looks at his age, he?" Is it His Majesty's illegitimate son or? ”
Xing'er was startled and hurriedly stopped: "Bah, what are you talking about, girl?" Prince Qi is the descendant of King Lao Liang and the righteous son of His Majesty. The prince of the seal. This is not a nonsense. ”
Only then did Han Shu remember that there was indeed a prince with a different surname, and the old King Liang who had escaped from the world and disappeared. In the storyteller's story, it is indeed said that his family ascended the throne to protect His Majesty, and almost the entire family was destroyed. I never thought that he was the emperor's righteous son and made him a prince.
She didn't ask any more, so she took the tea box, looked at the amount of about half a catty in it, and wrapped it into a bag, it was the tea leaves of Narunmi Villa, and a subtle smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she ordered: "This tea is the number one tea, you go to the kettle of water, make tea, let's also taste the good tea with a very small output this year." ”
Xing'er went happily, from the shining eyes of this little girl, she recalled that Mu Qicheng she saw here was indeed a rare beautiful man. If you go to the library in the evening, you may be able to meet it.
