Chapter 490: Zongzi
For the Duanyang Festival, the imperial dining room made a new zongzi.
Including a variety of flavors that were not available before, such as shrimp cashew nut, or mint and jujube paste, as well as lotus root and lotus leaves......
Su Youyi has always liked to make these strange dim sums, and the imperial dining room naturally sent them to the Qianqing Palace first, and the second place is Kunning Palace.
Su Youyi only tasted a little, but she didn't think so.
Shuya smiled on the side: "If you want to talk about the usual dishes, the imperial dining room is good." If you want to talk about innovation, our mother's skills are superior. ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the emperor come in with a smile, "What, the newly made zongzi in the imperial dining room doesn't taste good?" ”
Su Youyi got up to greet her, and saw that the emperor was tied to a yellow-green sachet embroidered with wormwood, and knew that this was the one embroidered by Shuya in her name.
The emperor saw her staring at the sachet, so he said: "I like the sachet you embroidered very much, and I wear it every day." ”
"If the emperor likes it, it's fine."
Shuya lowered her head, Su Youyi didn't see a little weakness in her heart, and calmly asked the emperor to sit down, "The emperor has been unwell recently, why did he come out and walk around again in Duanyang today, what did the imperial doctor say?" ”
Gao Qishou said on the side: "The imperial doctor said that the emperor is weak, but it is better to bask in the sun, but he can't be too tired." ”
When the emperor heard Gao Qishou say this, the expression on his face was not very good-looking, "Nonsense, how can my body be so weak......"
The emperor would not have been angry before.
Su Youyi listened to it in her ears and secretly understood.
At first, the emperor thought that his physical weakness was due to the fact that the epidemic had not been completely cured when he was infected, so he didn't care, thinking that there would always be a day when he would get better.
But as time went by, he slowly understood that the root of the disease seemed to be rooted in him, so that his body could never recover from before.
The emperor began to panic.
He is only past the age of his establishment, and he will be said to be physically weak, let alone the emperor, even any ordinary man can't tolerate this.
Su Youyi quietly diverted the topic, "Let people bring the princes to the emperor to see, have the six princes and the seventh prince woken up?" ”
Shuya went down, but after a while, she only brought back the fifth and sixth princes.
"Back to the emperor, Niangniang, the eldest prince took the four princes to learn to write, the seventh prince is still asleep, but the sixth prince is awake."
The Sixth and Seventh Princes were twins, but they did not sit and sleep together, often one fell asleep and the other was awake.
The emperor was in a much better mood when he saw the two children, the fifth prince was coquettishly nestled in Su Youyi's arms, the sixth prince was still in swaddling clothes, and the emperor held him in the crook of his arm.
After hugging for a while, he called the five princes over again, "Let me see, our five princes have grown up a lot." ”
"The son asks his father to say goodbye, long live his father, long live long live."
The fifth prince replied in a milky voice, and the emperor was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
I didn't expect the fifth prince to speak so fluently now, and there was no timidity when he spoke, and his bold appearance was quite the style of a big prince.
The emperor said: "When I saw him, it was like seeing the eldest prince when he was a child, and their brothers were born more and more alike, and they were the only ones who looked alike among the princes." ”
"Really?"
Su Youyi looked at the fifth prince carefully, thought about what the eldest prince looked like when he was a child, and said with a smile: "In the future, when the sixth prince and the seventh prince grow up, I don't know if it will be more similar." ”
"It's all our children, so it's naturally more alike."
No matter how good the eldest prince is, it is not Su Youyi's work in the end.
When the emperor mentioned this, his thoughts suddenly stirred, "Among these princes, I used to think that the eldest prince was the best. Now you've added three more to me, and I look good at all of them. ”
So some thoughts slowly changed in his heart.
Su Youyi vaguely heard this change, and hurriedly smiled and brought it over, "The princes are all like the emperor, so naturally all of them are good." The second prince, the third prince and the fourth prince are also good, and the emperor teaches well. In the future, there will be eight princes, nine princes, and ten princes...... It is not too late for the emperor to think about who is best at that time. ”
The emperor smiled, "You're right, we are young and young, and there will be many princes in the future." ”
Su Youyi hated him, "Who said it was me?" There are so many concubines in the palace, and there are even more who have never given birth, and the concubines have to rest, so the honor of giving birth to the eighth prince should be handed over to other sisters. ”
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and the concubines arrived at Kunning Palace, ready to greet Su Youyi.
Today is the Duanyang Festival, and as usual, I want to come to pay a big salute to the queen of the middle palace, but I didn't expect the emperor to be there.
Su Youyi ordered people to reward those zongzi to everyone, "This is sent from the imperial dining room, don't you think about it when you eat it in this palace, the emperor has tasted it and said it's okay, you can also taste it." ”
The emperor and Su Youyi sat on the top together, drinking tea and talking to everyone, "Since I have seen the queen here, I don't have to go to the Qianqing Palace to ask for peace, save trouble." ”
The concubines were naturally happy, and some people remembered the sachet they had sent to the Qianqing Palace before, and when they looked at the emperor's waist, everyone looked disappointed.
The emperor's waist is hung with a wormwood sachet with green lines on a yellow background, and it doesn't look like it's good, it's not as good as the blue grass of the green concubine.
The concubine asked, "This sachet on the emperor's body is quite exquisite, I don't know which sister made it?" ”
"Do you need to ask?"
Concubine Yan looked at everyone's expressions, and she knew in her heart, "Who else can there be besides Queen Mother Hui Lanxin?" ”
The emperor smiled, "Not bad." ”
The concubine was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "The concubine didn't know that it was made by the queen's mother, but it was really exquisite, and the concubine admired it." ”
This is clearly talking nonsense with your eyes open.
Su Youyi knew how many catties and taels she had, so she didn't let Shuya's embroidery be too delicate and complicated, this sachet was sent by the concubines, but it could only be regarded as a middle class.
Even if the color and pattern were specially chosen by her, they were not first-class.
She smiled and said: "Where, this palace thinks that the embroidery of the blue grass of the green concubine's sister is good, and the embroidery of this palace is too rough, and it is difficult for the emperor not to dislike it." ”
The emperor naturally didn't dislike it, and touched it lovingly with his hand, "It's okay if the green concubine sent it, and I ordered Gao Qishou to put it in my dormitory." I have seen what you have all sent, and it is hard for you to have a heart. ”
The concubines got up and saluted, "It's all the duty of the concubines and others." ”
The emperor touched the sachet on his waist and said to Su Youyi: "The queen cooks the harem hard, and she uses less needlework, so it is rare to do a needlework for me, so I naturally have to cherish it." ”
His eyes were full of affection, just as they were back then.
Su Youyi met his gaze, but she unconsciously wanted to dodge, she reluctantly let herself not avoid it, but showed a smile that was not rude.
"It is also the duty of concubines to serve the emperor, and the emperor likes it."
After saying this, she lowered her head, others thought she was amorous and shy, but they didn't know that her lowered eyes were desolate......
