Chapter 677: Dedication
Hearing this, Xue Ying beside him gasped, and kept putting his elbow on Shi Qingqian's arm, "King, princess, slave and maid remember that the old lady was too old to celebrate her birthday, didn't you also use your own blood to copy a pair of Buddhist scriptures?" ”
Shi Qingqian couldn't help but smile lightly, "Hmph, I'm different, this seems to be disrespectful, I was really sincere back then, and I squeezed it out little by little with my own blood and water to write it." ”
"Princess, are you saying that there is a problem with this Lan Concubine's Buddhist scriptures?"
Shi Qingqian nodded, leaned over and said, "Look at that word, the words in the front are bright red, but the ones in the back are black and black." At first glance, it is not ordinary human blood, otherwise it should be deep in the front and shallow in the back. ”
After listening to her words, Xue Ying poked his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that the handwriting on it was just as Shi Qingqian said, and he didn't know why it was for a while, "Tsk, then what did she use?" The horizontal cannot be copied backwards. ”
"I think it should be pig blood, pig blood will turn black after cooking, if it is left for three or five days, it will gradually turn red," Shi Qingqian said, "There is no blood in the palace, even if there is it, it can only be cooked and cooked, I think this Lan Concubine should be the pig's blood." It's sincere, but that's actually it. ”
When Xue Ying heard this, she only felt that her master was really very smart, but when she turned her head and saw that Shi Qingqian was sitting in her position, she didn't seem to have any plans for the next step, so she pouted puzzledly, and said, "Princess, since you have found out, why don't you speak out and kill the prestige of Concubine Lan?" Just now she was still thinking about poisoning our little son, how could you let her beg for all the money in front of Concubine Tang? ”
Shi Qingqian opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but before he could say anything, he heard Concubine Tang, who was talking about this blood book with the same person, suddenly called out her name: "Princess Yan, the mourning family knows that you want to be smart and well-informed, let's see, how do you appreciate this character in your heart?" ”
"Huh?" Shi Qingqian was slightly flustered, quickly got up, put away his hand and obeyed, and in a blink of an eye, he met Ji Shulan's vicious eyes, and slightly provoked her with his own eyes, then he withdrew his gaze and said to Concubine Tang who was sitting in front: "If you go back to Concubine Niangniang, the concubine body just read some more scripts, and she doesn't have the elegance of Niangniang, and she doesn't know how ......to appreciate calligraphy and painting."
If you want to talk about this Concubine Tang, on weekdays, Shi Qingqian went to ask for peace, and she sent herself away in a few words, but now I don't know what medicine I took wrong, and suddenly asked myself to taste it.
But there is one thing that Shi Qingqian still knows, the last time the harem intimidated the concubines, she was unhappy, and she would never dare to be reckless in front of everyone anymore.
Shi Qingqian only now wants to understand a truth, there is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself. She should have let the things next to her hang high, no matter what, her life is still the most precious, and she will never be guilty of hurting herself for others.
However, obviously Concubine Tang was not satisfied with this, and saw her frowning slightly, so she said in a paragraph: "That's it, but Princess Yan has always been the most ingenious one in the past, and the mourning family really wants to see what you are preparing." ”
Shi Qingqian got up, lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the gift of the concubine will disappoint the concubine, the concubine is just an ordinary woman, and the gift of the queen mother has been thinking about it for a long time and has not come up with anything ingenious, so I have to find something that no one else will think of." ”
After that, seeing Shi Qingqian waving his hand lightly, Xiaolian walked up with a delicate soup bowl.
"Eat, eat?" Seeing this, Ji Shulan seemed to scoff a little.
Shi Qingqian didn't panic, and reached out to take off the cover. Everyone leaned their necks to see, and saw that the soup was pale white, with some round and golden beads floating in it, and in the center was a delicate lotus flower, hanging with a dense mist, and a bowl of soup was so beautiful that it could not be seen.
"Queen Mother, this soup is called White Lotus Buddha Lotus Seed Soup," Shi Qingqian bent his knees slightly, and said, "The concubine really can't think of any special unique birthday gifts, and after thinking about it for a long time, she decided to make a pot of soup by herself, which can not only replenish her body and nourish her qi after eating, but also use the Buddha's qi to celebrate her birthday." ”
"What's that glittering gold in there?" Concubine Tang squinted her eyes and asked.
Shi Qingqian glanced at it lightly, and then continued: "It's a lotus seed, the concubine takes corn and grinds it into flour and wraps it on it, puts it in oil and water to fry, controls the heat to make it golden in appearance, and after it comes out of the pot, it is wrapped in a layer of honey while it is hot and then cooled, so it has such a seemingly glowing appearance." ”
As she spoke, the maid beside Concubine Tang had already filled a bowl and handed it to her. The concubine took a sip of the spoon, and then nodded with satisfaction, "You girl, you haven't disappointed me." ”
Shi Qing lowered his eyes and said no more.
But Ji Shulan on the side couldn't help it, the corners of her lips hooked, and said: "It's really good, the concubine didn't know that Princess Yan still had the talent to be a cook." ”
The implication is just that she Shi Qingqian is good at doing things for subordinates, and secretly scolds her for her identity.
Shi Qingqian lowered her eyes and glanced at it, many people around her were covering their lips and chuckling, she had already guessed it, so naturally she would not go to her heart, but she just raised her head and continued: "If the concubine loves to eat, the concubine can hand over the recipe to the imperial dining room and let them learn to make it for the mother." ”
Concubine Tang nodded and said, "I can't get used to what others do, why don't you do it yourself, make a few more servings, and give it to everyone present?" ”
There were more than 100 people present, and if Shi Qingqian did it one by one, even if there were people from the imperial dining room to help, it would have to take two or three hours. Concubine Tang said that she liked Shi Qingqian's soup, but who didn't know that she was clearly showing Shi Qingqian's face.
However, it can't be said that it can't be done, Shi Qingqian was helpless, and just when he was about to nod his head, he heard Shi Yueran on the side say: "Concubine Niangniang, it stands to reason that it is not too much to let Princess Yan prepare some soup to eat, but she is pregnant after all now, and it is always bad to work too hard." ”
"Oh, that's what you said, the mourning family has forgotten that Princess Yan is also heavy now," Concubine Tang nodded twice and waved her hand, "Then forget it, but you don't have a mouth." ”
"Concubine, thank you to the concubine and the queen!" Shi Qingqian knelt down and wept.
Concubine Tang pursed her lips, waved her hand twice, and asked Shi Qingqian not to continue to pestle here.
Although Shi Qingqian had a look of guilt on his face, his heart was extremely happy, and he sat back happily and watched the ladies on the side give gifts.
I just watched it for a while, and Concubine Tang herself was tired, so she said that she would talk about it later, so she took her subordinates back to the house to rest.
