Chapter 44: Drinking a little wine

Ye Yuzhen saw Su Yirong's doubts, and smiled slightly, "This medicine is still me practicing the piano, my finger is injured, and my uncle gave me [Special Imperial Concubine is not to mess with Chapter 44: Drinking a little wine]." ”

Su Yirong smiled awkwardly, feeling annoyed for herself in doubting the origin of her medicine.

"Come on, I'll rub the medicine for you." Ye Yuzhen took the ointment from her hand, gently squeezed out some, and gently rubbed it for her.

It's night.

In Su Yixuan, Su Yirong was on the paper, holding a brush and writing crooked words on the paper.

Xiaoxue looked at it and asked, "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”

Su Yirong finished writing the last word, put down his smile, and blew lightly on the paper with satisfaction, "Sell it first, and you'll know tomorrow." ”

Xiao Xue's curious heart itched, and begged, "Miss, just tell Xiao Xue." ”

Su Yirong was a little annoyed by her shaking, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll tell you." As he spoke, he whispered a few words in her ear.

Xiaoxue exclaimed, "Really? ”

"Of course, so, you're going to play with me tomorrow, do you know?" Su Yirong smiled.

After a long night, a new day has arrived.

Early the next morning, Su Yirong asked Xiaoxue to distribute the paper to the courtyards of the concubines. Suddenly, the whole house knew that the princess was going to hold a cooking competition. The one who wins in the end can serve the dishes to Leng Yanxi to taste.

Early in the morning, the concubines in each courtyard began to get busy.

And Su Yirong was chatting with Ye Yuzhen in the garden, as if she was not worried at all that she would lose this cooking competition.

In the garden, Xiaoxue brought a cup of brewed chrysanthemum tea and some snacks on the stone table in the garden. As she put down her snack, Xiaoxue quickly said, "That Dong'er is listening nearby." ”

Su Yirong pursed her lips and smiled, "Yuzhen, in fact, I held this cooking competition for you, because I know better what the prince likes to eat." ”

Ye Yuzhen smiled knowingly, "Rong'er, but wouldn't it be unfair to do this?" ”

"I don't care, I just want to help you." Su Yirong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Rong'er."

"No thanks, sister, I won't help you."

Xiaoxue was on the side, and asked with a smile, "Miss, then what kind of dishes do you want Zhen Yufu to prepare?" ”

The corners of Su Yirong's mouth immediately hooked up a sly smile, "Yuzhen, in fact, I told you a secret. As she spoke, she deliberately looked around and said, "The people in the kitchen think that the prince doesn't eat spicy food, so they never prepare spicy food." But I know best that last time I had dinner with the prince, I secretly put some chili peppers, but I didn't expect the prince to eat all the dishes I added chili peppers that day. ”

Ye Yuzhen asked, "Then Rong'er, what do you mean, no matter what I cook, as long as I make that dish as spicy as possible, right?" ”

"Clever." Su Yirong said with a smile.

Dong'er, who was in a corner of the garden, heard this and left in a whisper. Quickly ran back to Lanxin Pavilion, panting and said, "Miss, Miss, I heard you." ”

"Say it quickly." Madame Jade said hurriedly.

"I heard the princess tell Mrs. Nazhen that as long as she makes that dish as spicy as possible, when the time comes, when she tastes it, she will serve the spiciest dish to the prince first."

"Then this is easy to do, you hurry out of the house, go to Jinxiulou to order the most expensive and best dish, and then let the cook put more chili peppers in it, the spicier the better."

Hearing this, Dong'er immediately went to Jinxiu Building.

In the garden pavilion, Xiaoxue ran back and said with a smile: "Miss, you guessed right, Mrs. Yu sent Dong'er to Jinxiu Building to order food." ”

Hearing this, Su Yirong and Ye Yu smiled.

For a while, the concubines in each courtyard were cooking by themselves on the surface, and secretly sent their personal maids to the restaurant outside to order food.

In the afternoon, Leng Yanxi came back from outside and was invited by Xiaoxue to go to the garden.

I saw Mrs. Yu standing in the pavilion with great interest, and on the table was the dishes she ordered in the Jinxiu Building where she asked Dong'er to go. The news that Dong'er heard was indeed right, Su Yirong really chose the spiciest dish to win. When she saw the surprised expression on Su Yirong's face, she couldn't help but feel proud.

When Leng Yanxi arrived at the courtyard, he had already heard Xiaoxue tell the truth of the matter.

As soon as he entered the garden, Leng Yanxi went straight into the pavilion, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked Mrs. Yu, "This is what you made?" ”

Mrs. Yu smiled coquettishly, "Back to the prince, the concubine has put a lot of thought into it, and the prince will definitely like this dish made by the concubine." After speaking, he proudly glanced at the concubines in the courtyard, and exchanged a happy look with Dong'er.

Leng Yanxi raised his eyebrows, took the jade chopsticks handed over by Dong'er, and ate a little. Suddenly, his hand holding the jade chopsticks stiffened, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Madam Yu was a little carried away, she didn't see the change in Leng Yanxi at all, and asked softly, "Lord Wang, how is it?" ”

Leng Yanxi ate this dish very slowly, swallowed it for a long time, his lips trembled slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "You spent a lot of effort to make this?" ”

Madam Jade nodded excitedly [Special Imperial Concubine is not easy to mess with Chapter 44].

I saw Leng Yanxi slap the jade chopsticks on the table, "Since you have put your mind into it, then the king will reward you with this dish." ”

Seeing this, Dong'er hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, this is Miss ......"

"Shut up." Leng Yanxi shouted and walked out of the pavilion.

As soon as Leng Yanxi left, the originally lost concubines in the courtyard all snickered.

And in the pavilion, Mrs. Yu was puzzled, and her face was even more ugly. She frowned, stepped forward to take a bite, and before she could swallow it, she spit it out, and hurriedly said, "Dong'er, hurry, water"

In Su Yixuan, Xiaoxue ran back and told them what was going on in the garden, and Su Yirong and Ye Yuzhen both laughed. Su Yirong's stomach hurt when she smiled, and she hurriedly said, "What about the prince's expression at that time?" ”

Xiaoxue only knew that the prince had eaten for a long time before he finished the dish. Xiaoxue also saw that the prince's face turned red with anger after eating that mouthful of food. ”

Hearing this, Su Yirong covered her stomach and began to laugh, laughing so much that tears almost came out. Where is his anger red, it is obvious that his spicy face is red.

After laughing for a while, Su Yirong hurriedly asked Xiaoxue to take out the utensils.

In the small pavilion in the courtyard, Ye Yuzhen sat quietly aside, smiling and looking at a strange vessel on the stone table in front of him, which seemed to be a furnace used to boil water, but it was very long and narrow, boxy, and it didn't look like it was boiling water. I saw that there was some charcoal inside, and then I covered it with a layer of iron bars.

At the table, there was a lot of food on the plate, including fish, chicken wings, duck legs, meat, and vegetables, all skewered with bamboo skewers. There are also some cooking ingredients next to it.

When everything was ready, Xiaoxue put the skewered food on the iron bar and roasted it. After baking for a while, when you smell the aroma, you sprinkle some ingredients, and you can smell an attractive aroma from a distance.

Su Yirong couldn't help but swallow his saliva, in the days when he came to ancient times, he had never eaten the barbecue he made. So I came up with an idea, grilled some food, and prepared a pot of wine next to it.

When they were done, they ate it. Su Yirong handed a grilled string of chicken wings to Ye Yuzhen and said with a smile: "Try my craftsmanship." ”

Ye Yuzhen smiled slightly, ate it, and said again and again that it tasted good. She handed it to Xiaoxue again, and Xiaoxue was also excited to say that it was delicious. Su Yirong smiled and tasted a bunch, and it was really something she made, and when she ate it in her mouth, she felt a lot better. Just as the three of them were eating grilled food and drinking wine, a slender figure appeared outside the courtyard gate.

Leng Yanxi stood at the gate of the courtyard with some surprise, originally came to reprimand her, but she didn't expect them to bake food and eat it by themselves. Thinking of her, a prime minister's daughter, she obviously doesn't touch the spring water with her fingers, but she actually does this?

Feeling the gaze cast by the courtyard gate, Su Yirong raised his head and looked over, swallowed the food in his mouth in surprise, and coughed directly. Ye Yuzhen also saw Leng Yanxi along her line of sight, and hurriedly put down the food in his hand.

Leng Yanxi walked over, glanced at the food on the iron bar, and then at the sprinkler on the table, and couldn't help laughing: "The princess of this king is in a good mood, she played a trick on this king before, and now she is drinking a little wine in this small courtyard." ”

Su Yirong smiled in his heart, "Lord Wang, the concubine you said was too wronged, when did the concubine play the prince?" ”

Leng Yanxi raised his eyebrows and looked at her quietly, "You dare to say, that cooking competition is not playing this king?" ”

Su Yirong knew that he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "If the concubine invites the prince to drink a glass of wine, she should make amends, how about it?" After that, I hurriedly asked Xiaoxue to prepare a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

Ye Yuzhen saw that Leng Yanxi was a little cramped, and found a reason to leave Su Yixuan.

Suddenly, only she and him were left in the entire courtyard.

Leng Yanxi took a bite elegantly, chewed it carefully, swallowed it and said, "This tastes good." Just, when did you learn this? ”

Su Yirong smiled, these were still when she was studying, she often went out with her friends to learn. hurriedly made an excuse and said, "When I was a child, I studied in the countryside with my mother." ”

The night was getting hazy.

The two of them drank a pot of wine before they dispersed.

At this time, Su Yirong was already blushing, and was helped by Xiaoxue to lie down on the bed.

Leng Yanxi stood in the courtyard, quietly watching her staggering towards the room. Only then did I remember that she was not very good at drinking.

I thought of it in my mind that at her father's birthday banquet, she drank cup after cup, drunk and dazed, but she was not too out of shape. But for some reason, she got into a fight with Concubine Liu. In order to avoid annoying her father, she was taken out of Yuhua Palace.

The night wind, blowing quietly, brings a touch of coolness to the autumn night.

He didn't know how long he stood in the courtyard until he saw the light in her room go out, then he withdrew his gaze and turned back to the smoke house. Stepping on the night, he stroked his forehead slightly, obviously he didn't drink much, but he was slightly drunk, and his head sank slightly.
