Chapter 889: Rose Cake
"Sit down."
The noble concubine reluctantly put down the dominoes in her hand and looked at the concubines who were standing in front of her like four delicate flowers.
They are young, beautiful, exuding youthful air and smiling at the corners of their mouths.
It's not the first time that the concubine has seen them, these people have also appeared in the palace banquet many times before entering the palace, and later Su Youyi moved into the imperial garden, and they also came to greet them many times.
But now, it's different from before.
In the past, they were all official eunuchs, but now they are veritable palace concubines.
Even Concubine Chun and the others looked at them a little distracted, as if they saw their former selves, wasn't that how they were when they first entered the palace?
With joy, with nervousness, timidity.
"Concubine Xie."
Concubine Li Xian and the others got up and sat on the side in order.
Concubine Liu praised repeatedly, "Oh, it's really the feng shui in the palace." I see that a few of you are much more moisturized than before, and now you are dressed as palace concubines, and you are more beautiful and extravagant. ”
"yes."
Concubine Chun said: "Zhao Gui was born so beautiful, and he actually had the demeanor of the queen mother's sister when she was young. Every time I see it, I feel amazing, I'm afraid I haven't seen it yet. ”
Zhao Guiren was ecstatic in his heart, and touched his face unconfidently.
"The concubine has won the award, how can I compare with the queen mother? The Queen Mother is still beautiful at this age, and standing with us is like sisters, slow to say that I have not been so good-looking as the Queen Mother in more than ten years, even now! ”
Looking at Zhao Guiren's happy and embarrassed energy, everyone laughed.
The concubine took a closer look at Zhao Guiren's face, Zhao Guiren was indeed born very beautiful, and she was the best among this group of concubines, but her facial features were not similar to Su Youyi, and she was even more bright and charming.
Su Youyi's face has been like a day for more than ten years, pure and moving, like a hibiscus out of water.
Fortunately, she spoke loudly, and the concubine liked it too, so she ordered the palace maid to say: "Send them the snacks made in the morning to give them a taste, especially the rose cake, which is sweet." I think it's good to eat, you don't know how to eat it, you taste it. ”
The noble concubine herself loves to eat rose cakes, and there are not many fresh roses in the imperial garden at this time, and she is willing to take out such a snack to entertain guests, which shows that she values these concubines.
"Oh, although Sister Yan's rose cake is too sweet, I don't eat it well, but Sister Yan herself likes it very much. I think she likes you too, so I'm willing to take it out for you to taste! ”
Concubine Liu was on the side, and all the concubines were very happy, only Concubine Li Xian's face was not very good-looking.
From the moment they came in, the eyes of these concubines have been on Zhao Guiren, and they haven't noticed her much.
Obviously, she is the highest ranking among these people, but the noble concubine doesn't take her to heart at all, what is the reason?
She respects the concubine and the others are elders to sit here obediently, otherwise she would have left a long time ago if she was so neglected.
She is a concubine, and the noble concubine is just a concubine who was sealed after the death of the first emperor, and she is not more noble than her.
After a while, the rose cake was delivered, and the concubines refused to eat it, all of them were too sweet, and even the pure concubine, who had always loved desserts, waved her hand, "Let's try it, I tasted it before, and it was so sweet." ”
There are pure concubines, and no matter how much they look at the concubines, they refuse to taste it, and Concubine Li Xian and others also guessed what this rose cake will taste like.
It's just that it's better to guess than to taste, and after tasting it herself, Concubine Li Xian frowned slightly.
Zhao Guiren's performance was even more obvious, her entire pretty face was almost wrinkled, and she couldn't swallow the mouthful of roses in her mouth.
Qian Changzai and the two of them were also hideous, and they both looked at Concubine Li Xian and Zhao Guiren.
I didn't want Concubine Li Xian to brew for a while, but she swallowed the frighteningly sweet rose cake in her mouth, and the two of them often had no choice but to swallow it.
Zhao Guiren looked at Concubine Li Xian and then at the two Chang Presence, she couldn't swallow it, she hesitated for a long time, and she finally swallowed it.
This swallow was like asking her to stab herself, and her face was full of embarrassment.
"How?"
Concubine Gui was still waiting to hear whether they liked to eat or not, Concubine Li Xian smiled and nodded gently, "It's good, thank you for the reward." ”
Zhao Guiren silently put down the rose cake that he had bitten into, and said euphemistically: "Guifei...... It's a little too sweet. You're so sweet, I'm afraid it's not good for your health......"
Heaven and earth conscience, she had to tell the truth.
Otherwise, she was afraid that the concubine would let her eat the rest of the rose cake, so she would have to vomit on the spot.
"Well, it's too sweet."
The noble concubine did not question, but nodded.
When Concubine Chun heard that something was wrong, she hurriedly said, "Sister didn't say that yesterday. We said that the rose crisp was too sweet, but you said that it would not be, and that it was delicious, why did you change your tone today? ”
The concubine covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm talking about the rose crisp I eat on weekdays, not today's rose crisp." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised.
Concubine Chun curiously took a piece of cake, only took a bite and spit it out, looking at Concubine Li Xian and the others incredulously, "Oh my God, today's rose cake is probably a pound of noodles and half a pound of sugar, right?" It's so sweet, you can still swallow it? ”
Concubine Li Xian was slightly stunned and slowly came back to her senses.
She wondered how the taste of the noble concubine could be so unique, and she liked to sweeten such a snack.
It turned out that this was not what she usually eats, but today's rose cake was deliberately sweetened.
As for what the intention was, Concubine Li Xian also figured it out at the moment.
This is clearly a dismount!
Concubine Li Xian's face was even more unsightly at the moment, she took care of her face to give the concubine face, and then swallowed the sweet dim sum, but she didn't expect that people would deliberately fix them.
How does this make her not angry?
Zhao Guiren and the others also came to their senses, and looked at the noble concubine in confusion, and the noble concubine laughed, "It's just a joke with you, don't mind." Come on, take these roses down and replace them with fresh snacks that I have prepared for them. ”
"Yes."
The palace maid came up and withdrew the rose cake, and Concubine Chun also reacted at this moment, and said with a smile: "Sister Yan, you are too unkind." The first time they came to meet them officially, why did they play them like this? ”
However, the noble concubine has always had this temperament, and the pure concubine is also used to it, and she doesn't think she has any malice.
Concubine Li Xian didn't think so, she tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I've always heard people in the harem say that the concubine likes to joke, and when I saw it today, it was true." ”
Concubine Li Xian's tone was lukewarm, and she sounded a little angry.
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and the noble concubine glanced at her, she was already embarrassed because of her title, and she was even more polite at this time, "Yo, didn't Concubine Li Xian herself say that it was good?" ”
