Chapter 42: Strength Guard

In the evening, Kangxi came to Yongshou Palace as promised.

"The emperor is blessed with Jin'an." Jing Yu and the palace people greeted the holy car.

Kangxi is wearing a red woven gold satin gown with blue and blue Xiuyun and crane pattern makeup satin casual gown, the waist of the dress is just right, and his posture is extraordinarily straight, with a handsome face with a clear outline, like a carving, bright eyes and bright teeth, and when he smiles at him, his eyes are also extraordinarily focused.

"No courtesy." Kangxi said, helped her up, and walked inside together.

"How's it going, are you still satisfied?" He said.

"All excellent! Thank you, Emperor Longen! Jing Yu bowed her knees and thanked her, and said, "The slave has already ordered the dining room to prepare food." ”

Kangxi's eating life is very regular, generally two meals a day, and the meal is earlier than dinner, but today Liang Jiugong came early to spread the word that he would have dinner.

"Pass the meal." Jing Yu ordered, the small kitchen turned on the fire, the previous ingredients were ready, and after a while, a few appetizers were put on the table.

Jing Yu said: "Please wait a while, the slave has a few dishes here." ”

Kangxi saw that she was going to cook for him personally, and he became three years old in seconds, and said, "I will go with you." As he spoke, he got up.

"But the emperor, the land of the stove will be stained with putty." Jing Yu was slightly worried.

At that time, the cook's profession belonged to a lowly profession that future generations could not participate in scientific examinations, and a place like the back kitchen was not something that the emperor should go to. Jing Yu knew that if she was not careful in the palace, she would attract right and wrong, and she didn't want to be held accountable by the concubine.

Kangxi smiled and said, "These are all my own people, and I won't betray me." ”

The "own people" who followed behind were like blank sheets of paper, and they didn't seem to be afraid that the emperor was going to the stove room.

Long live their lord, studied astronomy and mathematics, and also built a Western pharmacy in the palace to try to make Western medicine...... I see a lot of strange things. The dining room is such a trivial matter.

Jing Yu no longer hindered, skillfully tied an apron, went to the stove, and lifted the lid of the clay pot.

Kangxi came up to see that it was a pot of fresh crabs, waving his claws, as if demonstrating to her.

His eyes widened, and he said, "Deal with the crabs and leave them to them." ”

Jing Yu smiled and said, "No need. As he spoke, he put his hand inside.

Kangxi's eyes widened, and when he saw the crab that was still showing off his martial arts just now, the moment she caught it in her hand, it seemed that he had been clicked on acupuncture points, dragging his long legs, and he didn't move much - he was worthy of being a palace maid in the dining room, which is also kung fu.

She gently rolled up the cuffs, dismantled and cleaned the whole crabs one by one, and the live crabs were delicately separated and neatly stacked in the bamboo basket.

Then pour the prepared soup into the clay pot and turn around to wash the kumquat.

Kangxi, who couldn't intervene for a long time, felt that he could do this, and hurriedly said, "I'm here to help you." ”

Jing Yu hurriedly stopped and said, "Your Majesty ......" Kangxi instead commanded her, saying, "You go get those crabs, by the way, what shape is this kumquat going to be cut into?" ”

"You don't have to cut each one, just a dozen." Jing Yu saw that he was in high spirits, so he could only hand over the kumquat to him, cook the steamer by himself, and at the same time order to make a fire.

"What is this going to do?" Kangxi Road.

"Steamed crab." She said.

"Steamed with lime?" Kangxi asked.

"Yes." Jing Yu said: "It's okay to make drunk crabs, but it takes seven hundred and forty-nine days of pickling." ”

"Hmm." Then he asked, "What is this?" He picked up the herbs from the small basket on the stove next to him and asked, "Steamed crab with lime and herbs?" ”

"The crab can clear away heat for coolness, and two herbs with a light taste and warm taste are added, and orange fruits are added to balance the cold, and the taste is sweeter and richer." Jing Yu said.

"Hmm." Kangxi nodded and said, "It is worthy of being a medicinal diet tonic." ”

"Medicinal diet tonic?" Jing Yu didn't understand what he was saying.

It is true that she has achieved the position of a small chef in the dining room, her mother's family is a medical family, but she has never done anything 'medicinal diet therapy'. ’

Kangxi suddenly realized that he had said too much, and said, "It's nothing." ”

In her previous life, Wu Yashi was in charge of 'medicinal diet therapy' in the dining room, and did an excellent job, and was transferred to the imperial grandmother's palace for a period of time to recuperate her body, which was quite appreciated by the imperial grandmother. If he had told her this, she would have looked at him in a strange light, and she might have thought that there was something wrong with his brain.

As for the staple food, Jing Yu plans to make eight-treasure sticky bean buns and pepper sesame oil cakes, and the bean buns have been prepared and steamed directly in the pot.

Before the Manchurians entered the customs, they lived by hunting, and as soon as they went out, they would go out for a whole day or even a few days, and they would not have time to go home to eat, so they could only bring the most hungry food with them. Eight treasure sticky bean buns are not easy to digest quickly, easy to carry to satisfy hunger, and the taste is very sweet, which is a kind of popular among nomadic hunters.

Then I picked up the crockpot and gently opened it, and the thick aroma of pepper and hemp came to my nose.

Next, make the pretzel pancakes.

I also made a dish of squirrel mandarin fish.

The two went to the table, and Kangxi was in a happy mood at the table of dishes.

Looking at the lively fish, the picture of her wielding a knife and chopping the fish immediately appeared - more than three catties of big fish in her hands three times five divided by two, the start is decisive and neat, the cooking is also skillful, one person is enough to take the spoon, no need to start.

......

On this night, the starry sky and the moon are bright.

After the meal, the two paced and walked side by side to the Imperial Garden.

Seeing the rockery not far away, Jing Yu suddenly remembered the scene of being bitten by the 'sunspot', and couldn't help but shudder.

Kangxi didn't know much about that at the time, but he knew that she had been bitten in the imperial garden, and when he saw her, he couldn't help but be nervous, took her hand, and said, "I will protect you." ”

Belch...... Jing Yu didn't have any waves in her heart, and even wanted to laugh a little - I really couldn't believe the mouth of some boys' shoes.

Counting on him for protection? The owner was unlucky again and again, and he fell into the river for a while and was bitten by a dog for a while...... Hmmm, don't be too miserable.

However, I think that Kangxi only 'dreamed' and 'red mole' some time ago, and knew that she was the palace maid in the dining room with deep memories, so she would be good to herself.

When the time is approaching, the autumn breeze outside the window suddenly rises, blowing down a pool of falling flowers.

Jing Yu felt that this time the servant was not as entangled as last time.

Once upon a time it was like dead wood, and my heart was like a silent dead ash.

And today, I don't know why, the familiar ear and sideburns grinding, gentle movements, from time to time ripples in my heart.

Belch...... It must be because he took special care of her, rescued her from the cold palace, and gave her the title of promotion, so he would be grateful to him! After all, the nest is a wooden emotional drop of female paper.

Jing Yu slept well, but in the middle of the night, he was suddenly woken up by a knock, to be precise, he was woken up by Kangxi.

When she opened her eyes dimly, Kangxi had already gotten up, sweating profusely.

Jing Yu dragged his eyelids, put a dress on him, and asked, "What's wrong with the emperor?" ”

Obviously, Kangxi didn't want to say it.

asked Yueyao to pour him a glass of cold water to drink, and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

Kangxi lay down with palpitations.

Then I was sleeping in the chaos again, and I heard him shout: "Fulong! No! ......”

Strange, she already knew that Kangxi Ping's three feudal domains were in addition to worship, and all kinds of battles were not frightened, and she was not confused when she was over, and she could still drive the personal expedition to quell the war in Moxi Mongolia...... He must be a person who doesn't know what to be afraid of.

It's just that what can wake him up from nightmares in the middle of the night? And who is that name?

The next morning, Jing Yu changed clothes for Kangxi.

Kangxi said: "If you can't come often these days, will you be angry?" ”

Jing Yu is not stupid, she has been reminding herself that even if she is favored now, she is just an ordinary one among Kangxi's many harem concubines.

I heard that men always say the same thing to a woman they like.

She wasn't sure if Kangxi was that kind of person.

Although sometimes she is in a trance, Kangxi seems to be different to her.

However, he was an emperor and had many concubines in his harem. Can you still expect him to be single-minded?

"No, it won't." Her senseless words.

Kangxi always seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and said, "I am really helpless sometimes. ”

As he spoke, he pulled her to a jade orchid by the window and said, "For example, I like this pot of flowers very much, and I want to water her every day, but after a long time, the roots will rot and die." Seeing her big eyes flashing and not knowing what she meant, she said: "For example, if you soak a frog in warm water every day, it will feel comfortable at first, and it will die after a long time." ”

Only then did Jing Yu understand Kangxi's intentions.

"The emperor doesn't have to tell his concubines about this." Jing Yu said this, but in her heart, she was thinking that even if she told her, she would be skeptical~

"I just want you to know that I care about you." Kangxi said, the sincerity in his eyes made people can't help but believe it.

Jing Yu secretly sighed that Kangxi is probably very good at balancing the harem.

He may know the truth that when the water is full, the moon is full and the moon is full - if you like someone, you will never be overly spoiled by your temperament, making her a thorn in everyone's side.

Or perhaps, if it weren't for the fact that she was locked in the cold palace and waiting for death last time, she would not have been given the concubine position.

He was probably afraid that she would be too silent, but she would be seen as a soft persimmon for others to handle.

Xu is too afraid of it, afraid that she will be hurt.

Perhaps, he has been trying his best to protect her as she said, but in a less explicit way, more deeply and introverted......?
