Chapter 528: Lunch
Liu Yan was holding a book and was reading, originally the emperor wanted to read the book, Liu Yan asked him to close his eyes and recuperate, the book, she will read it.
The emperor smiled and handed her the book: "Okay, then I will use it today." ”
Liu Yan turned to the page that the emperor had read just now and began to read.
The emperor squinted and leaned there to recuperate.
Empress Cao could also hear her daughter's crisp voice outside.
This made her feel more peaceful and grounded, more peaceful than she was at any other time.
The news of Yingluo's return was not so gratifying.
Princess An kept saying that her heart hurt, and that her head was uncomfortable, and the imperial doctor prescribed her prescription and gave her injections, but Princess An still said that she was uncomfortable. Princess Zhao's aunt said, don't someone do the trick of calming nightmares behind the back, but someone really dug up a dead cat behind Princess An's house, and it was still a black cat. ”
Empress Cao only asked, "Who buried it?" ”
"The people of King An's Mansion said that a few days ago, the county lord of Tianwen sent someone out of the palace and went back to the mansion to get some things......
Queen Cao didn't laugh angrily: "It's really interesting." ”
Yingluo whispered: "Please also ask the mother to show me." ”
"Let the imperial doctor prescribe some more medicine to calm Princess An, let her calm her mind."
Yingluo replied: "Yes." ”
"Let Liu Wen come over after lunch."
"Slave maid, let people pass it on." After a pause, Yingluo continued: "I'm afraid that the Duchess of Ruiguo won't be able to do it, the imperial doctor said, it's only been these two days." ”
It's always hard to hear this kind of news.
"Got it."
"And Chang Guogong, I heard that he has been bedridden for the past few months."
"Let's send some medicinal supplements."
"The slave and maid drew up a list, and sent it after the mother saw it."
Putting things clear one by one, Yingluo hesitated.
"What else? Say something when you have something. ”
Yingluo said: "It's not a big deal, and the inner palace supervisor has selected a group of palace maids for the Qinzheng Palace." ”
Empress Cao only nodded.
Yingluo didn't say anything more and withdrew.
A group of people should be released in the palace, mainly palace people. There are also several people who have reached the age here in Yilan Palace, and the Qinzheng Hall is no exception.
However, most of the palace people selected by the inner palace supervisor this time are young and beautiful, and they look docile and gentle.
It can't be said that the people in the inner palace are doing something wrong, they will naturally say, should they arrange some ugly and vulgar palace people to serve the emperor?
Yingluo didn't take those palace maids to heart, the young and beautiful palace maids were like leeks stubble after stubble, young and spicy. There are many people who have great hopes for these palace maids. Just like the Chun Ran who was disposed of in the past, and Pan Cairen, who only went a few days ago, they are young and beautiful, and they are treated differently from other palace people as soon as they enter the palace. Someone will take care of them openly and secretly, ** they can read and write, and learn things that can please people. For example, that Chunran is very good at singing. The palace maid was not very old when she entered the palace, and this ability was obviously not something she knew when she was young, so where did she learn it?
Pan Cairen, who died before, Yingluo heard that she was very good at pinching her feet and beating her legs.
As for Deng Cairen, his strength seems to be cooking tea, and it is said that he can also play chess, and he can play several kinds of chess.
Some people want Qingyun Road, some people want to climb the ladder, and they hit it off.
However, according to Yingluo, it is nothing more than a waste of effort. The emperor and Niangniang have been married for so many years, even if they are no longer as affectionate as young people, but they have supported each other for so many years, shared weal and woe, and had children...... No one can shake the status of the mother.
The emperor even has the emperor and grandson, will he still be dizzy for one or two young and beautiful women?
Yilan Hall also wants to enter newcomers, but these newcomers can only do rough work when they come in, and if they don't look at them for a year or two, Yingluo will not promote them to serve the mother closely.
After all, the poisoning of the teahouse last time still made her feel palpitations.
The palace is replacing the old with the new, and there are really a lot of things.
Some people are old, but they have nowhere to run out of the palace, and they are not willing to go out. Some are not old, but they ask someone to make money and want to leave the palace in advance. There are also people who are aiming at the vacancy vacated by the release of people in the palace, and they are desperately camping, and Yilan Hall is a place that many people want to come to.
These things are not big, they are not small, Yingluo is busy enough these days.
The lunch is not very rich, although the emperor, the queen and the four princesses are all there, and the most important masters in the palace are these three at the moment, but because the queen does not like to be extravagant, the emperor has never been picky about eating, so there is nothing to eat at this table.
Liu Yan saw that she liked lotus root clips, although this dish is not expensive, but now is the season to eat fresh lotus root, and eating seasonal things is always the most delicious.
The queen scooped the soup from a casserole and served it to the emperor.
The delicious things in autumn are much more special, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, so that the vulgar can't stop it.
Autumn is also a good season for tonics.
"The dining room said that there were excellent crabs today, and they could be steamed for dinner."
Liu Yan raised his head: "I want to eat crab meat buns." ”
The emperor said: "Crab roe tofu is also good." ”
What can Empress Cao say? That, of course, is to go down one by one.
Steamed buns, tofu, and steamed crab are all required, and nothing less is required.
The emperor's appetite is not as good as usual, but the fried mushroom cake used most of the plate, it is indeed very delicious, the mushrooms are thinly sliced, fried to not old and tender, chewy and tender, fragrant but not greasy.
After a few sips of hot soup, this lunch was very comfortable.
These days...... He couldn't remember what he had eaten in the Qinzheng Palace, and he had no memory at all. Maybe it's because he is absent-minded every time he eats, and there are always a lot of political affairs going back and forth in his mind.
In those days, eating is just to fill your stomach.
Today's meal can be regarded as a delicious meal.
"Queen Mother, then I'll go back first."
"Well, that's fine." Empress Cao nodded: "Slow down on the way back, come over at dinner, let's eat crabs together." ”
Liu Yan responded with a smile.
When she got off the sedan chair at the gate of Anhe Palace, she saw Liu Wen coming out of Yingxia Palace from a distance.
It seems that she is also going to Yilan Palace.
This hour has passed, and it is not the time to say hello.
Eighty percent is something.
When Liu Yan changed his clothes and was about to rest, the bean soup came in with a basket.
"What is this?"
"Back to the princess, a nest of small wild ducks picked up in the small garden behind our Anhe Palace, I don't know where the mother ducks are, and there is no one to feed these small ones."
Liu Yan took a look, and sure enough, it was three small wild ducks, with yellow fur and gray fur, and the three furry ducks were squeezed into a ball and nested in the hay.
"This shouldn't be the time for ducks to lay down and cuddle in their nests, right?" Gui Yuan shook his head: "It's autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it's hard to find food to eat when the cubs are born at this time." ”
