Chapter 106: Concubine Xian
"You're here?"
Mingguang Palace is the most worthwhile place to see in spring, different shades of light green and dark blue are staggered and diffused, just like the gradual desire to dye in the painting, Gu Xianfei's temperament is different from ordinary women, she does not love flowers but loves leaves, so Mingguang Palace is full of plants and trees all year round.
Su Ruhui took Qingque to hold a small bamboo basket, and first gave a salute to Concubine Gu Xian in the water pavilion, Concubine Xian was talking to Luyi and others, seeing Su Ruhui hurriedly smiled and asked Greenyi to go over and help him up, and said, "I was still talking about you just now, I didn't even come to see the palace in the past two days, but I forgot about the palace?" β
"Mother, this is as strange as a painting." Su Ru smiled, her cheeks were faintly eddy, and she only felt extremely delicate when she looked at Sanchun Xianli, Gu Xianfei and Luyi both felt that their eyes were bright, and they only listened to her crisp words, "The courtiers can't forget their mothers, isn't it, I got a snack two days ago, and I tried it for a long time before I succeeded. β
As he spoke, he ordered the green finch to present the bamboo basket.
This bamboo basket is very exquisite, but it is brought by the green finch when it enters the palace, it is woven with soft but tough green bamboo like a fish and insect pattern, and finally a lid is buckled, the size is much smaller than the ordinary food box, but the color is like jade, the bamboo fragrance is clear, and it is pleasing to the eye.
Concubine Gu Xian and Luyi are both old people in the palace, and when they saw this, they didn't ask about the bamboo basket and dim sum, but noticed Qingque: "These are the two maids that the Queen Mother allowed your family to send into the palace?" β
"Yes, Niangniang, this one is called Qingque, and there is another one called Hongluan." Su Ruhui seemed to say casually, personally rolled up his sleeves and uncovered the bamboo basket, and brought out the two plates of dim sum inside, and stuffed the bamboo leaves in the bamboo basket that were dried in the shade after being cleaned with well water, one is to make the dim sum dye the bamboo fresh air, and the other is to prevent the dim sum from cooling too easily.
Su Ruhui gently stroked the bottom of the porcelain when she came out, and found that the temperature was just right, and then pulled out a pair of silver chopsticks from the bamboo basket: "These two snacks are also made by Qingque, and the courtiers are starting, remember that the mother loves sweets, so she specially came to give the mother a review, but the mother knows that the courtiers don't have a decent kitchen, if you feel bad, you have to read the courtiers' sincerity, but you have to be punished lightly!" β
"Since you know that the kitchen is not like words, most of the things made will not work, but you still have to bring it to this palace, if this palace feels bad, how can I not punish you?" Concubine Gu Xian pretended to make a straight face and said, "That's it, this palace has always been lenient, I will spare you this time, taste one first, if it is not good, but it will be punished heavily!" β
Seeing that Concubine Gu Xian was in a good mood, Green Yi teased Su Ruhui, and also helped beat the side drum and said: "What Niangniang said is that Miss Su hasn't come to see Niangniang in the past two days, but she annoyed Niangniang!" If the mother wants to punish Miss Su for a while, the slaves and maids will never help to speak! β
When Green Yi said this, the green clothes and blue clothes who were serving Concubine Gu Xian beside her all laughed and nodded one after another.
Su Ruhui's eyes flowed, and she said angrily: "The aunts are too painless to Ruhua, if the mother is punished by Ruhua, won't she still feel distressed when she turns back?" Instead of this, the girls might as well persuade the mother! β
"You listen to this flamboyant mouth, look at the palace and hurt her, and become more and more coquettish and stupid, even you have said it!" Concubine Gu Xian covered her lips and chuckled, took the silver chopsticks in Su Ruhui's hand, and then focused on the snacks.
Su Ruhua will present two snacks, one is the rose honey roll that Zhou Yi'er has tasted, and the other is the jade Tianxiang cake, one red and one emerald, especially the jade Tianxiang cake with the emerald color, and a few bright red cherries, which are placed in the new porcelain as white as snow, which is particularly appetizing. Concubine Gu Xian tasted one each, and immediately praised it, and ordered the rest to be sent to the small kitchen to be done in the same way, and said to Su Ruhua: "It's hard for you to think about this palace - you don't like sweets, how can this girl make such snacks with the simple stove of Lumingtai?" Especially the jade Tianxiang cake, sweet but not greasy, when the palace tastes, it seems to be made of green stem rice lotus leaves? β
"Qingque was originally a personal maid of the courtier's childhood, after the courtier's daughter entered the palace, she was transferred to the kitchen helper, the courtier's daughter did not like sweet, but the courtier's mother and sister-in-law liked it very much. Therefore, she also learned a lot of dim sum, this time the queen mother was gracious, and her mother thought that Qingque was the one who served the courtiers after all, so she asked her opinion before sending her in. Niangniang said this jade Tianxiang cake, according to the courtier's eyes, is to take the blue stem rice and wash it into a loose but not sticky, and then use the new unopened lotus tip to mash into a puree, these two mixed pearl powder and acacia nectar are reconciled, and then ground into powder together, mixed with fresh morning dew on the peony on the drawer to steam, and then dotted with cherries. Su Ruhui said eloquently, and the green clothes said with a smile: "Niangniang can't be punished this time, Miss Su said this jade Tianxiang cake so complicated, and she personally made it, Niangniang heard this, I'm afraid that my heart will soften first, where is I willing to be punished?" Tsing Yi, let's think about what benefits we will give Miss Su for a while for Niangniang! β
Su Ruhui pretended to be annoyed and glared at them angrily: "The aunts will laugh at Ruhua!" What Rue said is true! β
"Bengong's heart is not so easy to soften!" The corners of Concubine Gu Xian's eyes were raised, and the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, but she pretended to be angry and said, "Although the dim sum is good, you haven't come to see this palace for so long, and this palace can't spare you!" Green clothes, tell me, how should this palace punish Ruhua? β
The green clothes grinned and said, "Didn't Niangniang listen to what Miss Su just said?" punished Miss Su, and the mother had to feel distressed when she turned around, according to the slave maid, Miss Su was punished for going to the water pavilion for the mother to pick flowers to insert the bottle, that is. β
Concubine Gu Xian was thinking about it, and Su Ruhui had already said angrily: "Aunt Green is just going to bully Ruhui!" Where do you get the flowers here? It's the locust flowers on the locust tree, for example, three or five paintings add up to a height, but how can you pick them? Saying that, he smiled at Concubine Gu Xian and said, "Niangniang has always loved the courtiers the most - it's better to do this, when the courtiers come to see Niangniang again, fold a few apricot blossoms from the imperial garden for Niangniang?" β
"You ......" Concubine Gu Xian smiled and brushed her with a handkerchief, and was about to speak, when her face suddenly changed! Hold your stomach and scream in pain!
"!" Seeing this, the three people in green, green and blue were shocked!
Su Ruhua's smile suddenly froze!
"Quick! Tell the Imperial Doctor! "Green Yi is the old man next to Concubine Gu Xian, the first to calm down, and told Lan Yi to invite Yu Taiqi, the head of the courtyard, to come in person, and asked Qing Yi and himself to help Concubine Gu Xian back to the dormitory of Mingguang Palace, Su Ruhua subconsciously wanted to step forward to help, but was pushed away by Green Yi and said lightly: "Miss Su, you and your maid should accompany us to the dormitory!" β
Su Ruhua agreed at a loss, and then heard Green Yi reply: "Don't move the dim sum there!" β
Hearing this, Qingque's face suddenly changed!
"That's what my aunt said!" Su Ruhui also came to her senses, took a deep breath, and knew that it was impossible for her to get out of this matter, but she never thought that there would be something wrong with the snacks she sent, so she held Qingque's hand with her backhand and said, "Let's go." β
When Green Yi and Tsing Yi helped Concubine Gu Xian into the inner hall to lie down, Concubine Gu Xian's mind was not very clear, she just vaguely screamed in pain, and Green Yi was anxious, but she didn't forget to send a few grandmothers to watch Su Ruhui and Qingque, and someone took back the plate of rose honey rolls and jade Tianxiang cake in the water pavilion.
Seeing that the two plates of dim sum were carefully placed on the rosewood table outside the inner hall, the surrounding palace maids stared at the two plates of dim sum with the eyes of a great enemy, and the other two grandmothers stood behind them with a dark face, Su Ruhui still looked calm on the surface, but there was also a little chaos in her heart. She is still like this, and the Qingque who has just entered the palace has a pale face, and is even a little trembling.
This appearance fell in the eyes of the people around him, which added a layer of suspicion.
Yu Taiqi came quickly, after all, Concubine Gu Xian was one of the four concubines of Zhengyipin, and she was the person in front of the Queen Mother, after entering the palace, she hurriedly went in to ask for a pulse, and after a while, she saw Lu Yi personally come out and hold two plates of dim sum into it, and asked Yu Taiqi to check.
Half an hour later, in the dormitory, before Yu Taiqi could draw a conclusion, the inner supervisor outside the hall came in one voice: "The emperor and the queen have arrivedββ"
