calmly ignored Kong Lingci's words, pointed to the teacup, and asked her, "Is it delicious?" ”

Kong Lingci shook his head and sighed: "You, it's getting more and more incomprehensible, what do you want to do." “

calmly lowered his head and blew tea, and said in a cold voice: "I'm afraid it will scare you if I say it, so don't say it, I don't have any other big ideas now, I just want to hold this man first." ”

"How's it going?" Kong Lingci said with a smile.

nodded calmly and satisfiedly: "It's okay, although I can't be in a hurry, but this matter is not something that can be rushed, boil the frog in warm water, and when he wakes up, I'm afraid he won't move." ”

Kong Lingci took two sips of tea, took out a finger sleeve from his sleeve, and handed it to her.

Calmly took it, looked at it twice, and smiled: "The craftsmanship has improved, it is exactly the same, even I can't tell which is the original." ”

"Don't say anything flattering, I just don't want to see you die before me." Kong Lingci said with a straight face.

Calmly put away the finger cover, Kong Lingci also got up and walked to the door.

"Lao Kong, thank you." Calmly shouted at her back.

Kong Lingci turned his head and smiled kindly: "Be careful yourself." ”

————————————

A few days passed in a flash, and on the emperor's birthday, he got up early and went to the imperial kitchen for a banquet.

The beauties who have not been blessed by the emperor for a long time have worked hard to make their own hometown dishes, hoping to tie the emperor's stomach and then the emperor's people.

All the concubines and concubines were busy, directing the palace maids to wash vegetables and pick vegetables and change knives, but they sat calmly on the high stool on the side, and they were as leisurely as no one else.

Nan You, who came with her, was anxiously red-eyed, jumped up and down, and whispered in her ear: "Master, everyone else has used eighteen kinds of martial arts, you are good, this is sitting on the Diaoyutai high, what about now?"

If you don't want to please today, but when do you expect to go? Don't forget, there is no such thing as a 100-day flower! Beware of which one the emperor eats smoothly, and he will forget about us from now on. ”

Calmly took a sip of the sweet soup he boiled, nodded with satisfaction, and handed the soup bowl to Nanyu: "Do you want to take a bite?" ”

Nan Yu twisted his head and snorted angrily.

"Nanyu, let me tell you one thing, whoever does great things will not be greedy for food. Why do you eat? Do things in order to maintain energy.

If a person is in love with eating, then a large part of his energy will be scattered to study eating, and studying eating this thing is easy to become addictive, and once addicted, it is difficult to quit.

Therefore, you have also seen that although the palace has a chef and a kitchen, and there are a large number of people who specialize in cooking for the emperor, the food that can be made looks exquisite and beautiful, and the taste is very ordinary.

The ancestor emperor is the dragon among the people, naturally he has long thought of this, if the younger generations are greedy to eat, then his country and society are in jeopardy, so the emperor's diet is full of color and fragrance, but the taste is low. This kind of thing is a secret that everyone in the royal family knows, but cannot tell.

It's a pity that these bear children don't study the royal rules well, just to please the emperor, and exhaust their ideas, this is a big disaster that dragged the emperor into the water and was criticized by the cabinet ministers. ”

Calmly sighed.

When Nan You heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, and shouted: "Master, since you know the stakes, you still agree to mess around with them?" Aren't you looking for your own death? ”

Spread his hands calmly and made a bitter face: "Your master doesn't want to be alone in the harem, and he has been alone, right?" I have to win over a few of my subordinates, and I'm not of the same mind. ”

Nanyou sighed and shook his head: "This place is really not a place for people to stay, if you don't talk about it today, the slave and maid really don't know, it turns out that you can't eat well, and it's a disaster to eat well." ”

As soon as Nan You's words fell, he saw that the women in the imperial kitchen suddenly quieted down, retreated to both sides, and stood with their hands down.

The queen is coming.

Guan Rong was wearing noble silk clothes, with a hairpin on her head, flowery shoes on her feet, and her hands, and walked in with great spirits, just a few wisps of smoke flew out of the pot of steamed fish of a concubine and flew in front of her.

She unfolded her veil to cover her nose in disgust, twisted her face to the side, and the concubine's face tightened, and she quickly opened the pot.

Calmly stepped forward, gave a slight salute, and said with a smile: "Niangniang is here, naturally she is confident, and the dishes you prepare will definitely be able to win the emperor's favor." ”

Guan Rong's eyebrows were raised, he sneered, and instructed Ziluan, who was following behind him, to put down the food box in his arms, before he spoke: "That's natural, when the emperor was in the palace, he was the chef of the mother's family in the palace who cooked for the emperor to eat, so he naturally knew his taste." ”

"Niangniang's meal was brought back from her mother's house, not made by herself?" Calm and slurky, some embarrassed voices.

"It doesn't matter if you do it yourself or not, as long as you are sincere, it's the best." One of the concubines said loudly.

Calmly glanced at her, remembering her appearance.

"Yes, yes, sincerity is the best, the queen mother has rhinitis, can't go to the stove, can't smell the fumes, let her go into the kitchen in person, it's already difficult for her." The other concubine continued to flatter.

Everyone agreed, nodding yes.

Guan Rong looked at the short calm man condescendingly, and sneered: "Guifei Niangniang, what about the dishes you cook?" ”

Swallowed his saliva calmly, with a slightly sneering expression: "This palace boiled a bowl of millet porridge." ”

"Millet porridge? Are there any special ingredients used? Concubine Ning asked curiously.

Calmly shrugged his shoulders, coughed dryly, and shook his head: "Millet porridge is millet porridge, where are there any special ingredients." ”

The two concubines who spoke before covered their mouths and chuckled, and even the few who had not spoken couldn't help but show regretful expressions.

This concubine is really interesting, everyone else has gone to great lengths to make delicious food, she only boiled a bowl of millet porridge, even if the best millet porridge can be rare? Isn't everyone going to boil?

Li Zhongying, the eunuch in charge of Fengqi Palace, walked in and gave a salute to all the masters first, before he asked with a smile: "The Queen Mother asked the servants to come and take a look, are the masters' best dishes ready?" Maybe it's been presented?

The emperor's early dynasty has ended, and he is heading to Fengqi Palace. ”

"Okay, it'll be fine right away, I'm tired of Gonggong Li going back to tell the Queen Mother, and the banquet will start immediately." Guan Rong said with a spring breeze on his face.

Li Zhongying responded and walked out.

The concubines and concubines suddenly began to hurry again, and for a while, there were voices in the imperial kitchen, and pots and pans rang out.

calmly called Nanyou, and also planned to bring out the millet porridge he had boiled so that he could serve it to the table.

Guan Rong approached, watched their movements with cold eyes, and sneered: "Calm down, it's good to be unconventional, but if you go back to being unconventional, it will inevitably make people reverie and be disgusted." ”

Calmly picked up a spoon, scooped some porridge, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said with a smile: "What does Niangniang mean by this, is she planning to admit defeat?" admit that this palace does have a mind and knows how to be unconventional to win favor? ”

Guan Rong continued to sneer: "Calm down, although it's good to be unconventional, people will miss the old after all, and the things you have eaten in times of trouble will be remembered in this life, and it will be difficult to find such a delicacy." ”

looked at her calmly and adoringly, and kept nodding: "The queen mother does have a heart, the queen mother and the emperor do want to miss the old, and it is a good thing to miss the old, but not only can the old be read for a period of time, but what has just happened is not considered old?" ”

"Calm you down!" Guan Rong's face instantly turned crimson, and he shouted angrily.

didn't bluff to calm down, but bluffed others not lightly, and the kitchen was silent for a while, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.

"Ah, master, the bottom of the pot is paste." Nanyou lost no time in shouting.

The crowd couldn't hold it anymore and burst into laughter.

"Calm down, take your boiled millet porridge and invite merit." Guan Rong sneered and threw his sleeves away.

"Master, what should I do? It's too late to boil another pot. Nanyu stomped his feet with a sad face.

"Isn't it good? The emperor couldn't eat much, so he picked up the scoop on it and got it. Calmly bent down to look at her masterpiece, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

This accident was really an accident, I didn't expect it.

The concubines and concubines rushed in with the vegetables and fish they made, and lined up to offer them.

The queen was, of course, the first.

Guan Rong opened the food box, took out the two snow-white porcelain bowls inside, opened the lid, and pointed it out to the Empress Dowager Guan: "Queen Mother, this is pearl jade and white jade soup, which Erchen learned to make with his mother." ”

When Empress Dowager Guan heard this, she glanced at her son beside her, and her eyes turned red, but Zhang still looked indifferent, and she couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow.

"Good boy, bring it here, mourning family to taste it, I haven't eaten this thing for a long time." Empress Dowager Guan picked up a handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and whispered to Guan Rong.

Guan Rong picked it up, scooped a spoonful himself, and fed it to the Queen Mother's mouth.

Empress Dowager Guan chewed slowly, swallowed slowly, and after swallowing, she hugged Guan Rong into her arms, rubbed her face, and smiled with tears: "The first time the mourning family ate this soup at your house, you were only six years old, and so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, it is really unforgiving." ”

"Queen Mother, don't be sad, if you like it, your son will make it for you every day in the future." Guan Rong said, reaching out to wipe the tears of the Empress Dowager Guan, but she also shed tears until the emperor coughed heavily.

Guan Rong stood up and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, look at Erchen's appearance, I should be happy today, but it made the Queen Mother sad, Erchen should die, I will have a banquet later, and I will punish myself with three cups first, okay?" ”

Empress Dowager Guan nodded with a smile, and was about to speak, only to hear the chapter next to her laugh:

"Calm down, what are you holding here, I smell mush from afar."

Calmly sent the porridge bowl in his hand to his arms, blushed, and sneered: "The emperor has a long nose, and the concubine added two handfuls of honey to it, and she can still smell the mush?" ”

"Hahaha。。。。。" Zhang laughed happily, pointed at her, and ordered: "Take it, I will taste whether this honey is sweet or not." ”

"Forget it, after all, it's mush, don't drink it, the emperor wants to drink, let the serious cook of the catering department boil it for the emperor." Calmly holding the bowl and moving out, I want to withdraw.

Zhang Na allowed her to run away, pulled her back by the sleeve, snatched the bowl from her hand, opened the lid, sniffed twice, laughed twice, raised the spoon, and said in an extremely pleasant voice: "I am used to eating millet porridge, but it is the first time that on my birthday, I eat burnt millet porridge, which is interesting and interesting." ”

As he spoke, he raised the spoon and scooped a large spoonful into his mouth, chewing it, but there was a sudden "boom" sound in his mouth, and a painful look appeared on his face instantly.
