Mu Ziheng's sentence "Brother Wang" made Mu Ziqin's whole person completely embarrassed. He put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand in embarrassment, pretended to be okay and cleared his throat, and then said: "Lone just feels that Madame hasn't seen her for a few days, and she has become more and more uncomfortable, I don't know if the food in the palace is unappetizing?" ”

Luo Ge knew that he was completely just talking nonsense. From childhood to adulthood, as long as Mu Ziqin started talking nonsense, he would speak seriously. Every time you deliberately clear your throat before the beginning, and then the words you say will make you feel unusually reasonable, especially the kind of small questions.

Luo Ge didn't speak, just smiled and shook his head, and then ordered the palace maid next to him to fill in a meatball for herself. Looking at Luo Ge's behavior, Mu Ziqin almost scolded angrily, he tried his best to look at the person in front of him calmly.

"Since Madame has an excellent appetite at the moment, it is a mistake. Let's all eat. ”

Mu Ziheng's little flirtation made him lose face a little in front of his brother, and he was very happy. After all, since he ascended the throne, others have rarely felt the "smell of fireworks" on him. So at this moment, he naturally stopped making trouble.

And so the meal ended.

After lunch, the Queen Mother asked everyone to go back to their respective palaces to rest, so that they could come back at dinner.

For this year's dinner, Mu Ziqin did not plan to organize it on a large scale, but just ordered someone to prepare the same dinner in the palace and send it to the homes of officials with more than three grades in the imperial city, and no more gift banquets will be prepared in the palace. Mu Ziqin had planned everything before the winter moon, and then prepared everything early. Just waiting for today's dinner.

When the palace attendants reported the "unitary time", Luo Ge put down the medical skills he had found in the palace library a few days ago, and then ordered someone to prepare to go to the Qingxia Palace.

When he arrived at the Qingxia Palace, Luo Ge saw several princes and their princesses in the morning, and also saw Su Qingyu, who was originally confined in the palace at the end of the court, and at the same time, he did not see the figure of Mrs. Yiyu.

In the face of Master's farewell, Luo Ge was still a little uncomfortable in her heart, but the people in the entire hall did not give her a chance to adapt. Because she had just entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, she heard Su Qingyu talking to the Queen Mother with a flattering voice.

"Queen Mother, this is the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and snow ginseng that your daughter-in-law prepared for you. I asked the academicians of Tai Hospital, and they said that it is good for your body. It also nourishes the body. ”

Luo Ge accompanied the report of the inner servant, and helped Lu Zhi and Han Yu to slowly walk into the Heart Cultivation Palace. Looking at Su Qingyu, who was interrupted by her and looked stiff, and the Queen Mother, who was looking forward to her with a smile on her face, Luo Ge casually saluted.

Because she is pregnant with a "dragon fetus", the Queen Mother naturally will not find fault with her in such small details, but Su Qingyu is different. She said in a slightly angry tone, "Mrs. Luo, you don't have a good salute like this, right?" ”

As soon as her words came out, Luo Ge immediately retorted: "The queen is really in a hurry, the queen mother hasn't corrected the concubine's mistakes yet, why are you in charge of it in advance?" ”

Looking at the Queen Mother with a not very good expression on her side, Su Qingyu immediately defended: "This palace is in charge of the six palaces, so it is natural to keep a serious eye on Madame's words and deeds. What's wrong? Is Madame dissatisfied with Hongu's correction? ”

"It's not." Luo Ge smiled and said, "It's just that the concubine has already asked for permission in front of the king before, and when she is pregnant, the concubine can not perform the full ceremony." ”

"Since there is the king's permission, then it is enough." The Queen Mother came forward to mediate in the face of such a situation, after all, she didn't want to make herself unhappy about the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve because of such a trivial matter.

"Since the queen mother is approved, then you can do the same in the future."

Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Su Qingyu could only go down the steps. However, she didn't care on the surface, and she was still very uncomfortable inside.

Luo Ge looked at the vicious light in Su Qingyu's eyes, and she showed a smug smile.

The contest between the two has come to an end for the time being.

Because Mu Ziqin was dealing with official business, he was close to the time when he came. At this time, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was already on the table, and everyone was seated one after another, leaving a place in the center for him. He apologized to the Queen Mother and sat on the throne.

Different from the morning, because of the addition of the other four princes' concubines and Su Qingyu, the table has obviously become larger, and the number of people serving has also increased significantly.

Once seated, Luo Ge began to observe the others on the sit-ups. Unlike lunch at noon, everyone tonight was gorgeously dressed. Even Su Qingyu was dressed particularly gorgeously. Luo Ge looked down at himself, and suddenly remembered what Lu Zhi said before going out.

"Madam, are you sure you wear this to attend the Queen Mother's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?"

Luo Ge looked at the blue court clothes on his body and said, "When the palaces reported the court clothes before, I deliberately avoided the colors that the queen and the queen mother liked. At the same time, in order not to be as flamboyant as in previous years, I chose this lotus color. The headdress also chose the standard of the last class of the palace concubines. Isn't that all of that? ”

Hearing her words, Lu Zhi crossed her waist angrily and said, "Madam! You don't pay attention to this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. ”

Seeing Lu Zhi's temper growing longer than in the past, Luo Ge just smiled, and then listened to her continue to introduce the importance of this dinner to herself.

"According to the custom of the harem, whoever wins the favor of the king during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner can go to Fahua Temple with the king to fast for three days after worshipping the ancestors, and then go to the palace with the king to hunt. After counting, you can enjoy the emperor's favor for fifteen days. It's been three years since you entered the palace, and there are only a handful of practices in the palace, not to mention the opportunity to go hunting in the palace. And every time the king came over, he never stayed overnight, and even broke up a few times. This year, the queen was punished and thought about it behind closed doors in the palace, if you don't seize the opportunity, how can you complete the prince's task? ”

Listening to what Lu Zhi said, Luo Ge put away her smile, she was more concerned about the task of this prince at the moment. But seeing that Luo Ge was so anxious, it was inconvenient for her to ask, so she just kept the question in mind silently and continued to listen to her "nagging".

After that, Luo Ge still couldn't resist and put two more beads on his head before he came to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. But who knew that Su Qingyu was invited to participate, breaking Luzhi's "perfect plan". She turned her head and looked at Lu Zhi standing behind her, looking at Su Qingyu beside Mu Ziqin angrily. She smiled slightly, then turned her head to sit upright.

After a while, there were palace maids rushing in. They all carry tonight's dishes in their hands. In addition to the dishes normally prepared in the imperial dining room, there are also dishes prepared by various palaces. Although there are few concubines in Mu Ziqin's harem, there are still female officials.

According to the rules of the dishes of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, all palace officials must also report the dishes, and after being screened by the palace governor, five of them are selected to be selected into this final dish list, and if they are praised by the king, they can be rewarded.

Therefore, excluding Mrs. Jing, who could not participate, sixty-six dishes were prepared for the entire Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Taking the meaning of "Liuliu Da Shun" also proves that in the past year, the income of the entire Mu Jin Kingdom is very considerable.

Looking at the increasing dishes on the table and the sound of the waiter reading the recipe, Luo Ge was a little nervous.

When the chamberlain loudly announced "The moon is born on the sea", Luo Ge's whole person tensed. She quietly looked sideways at everyone's reactions, especially Mu Ziqin's.

Sure enough, Mu Ziqin's whole person showed a shocked expression when he heard the name of the dish. When he heard Hanxiao Palace, he immediately swept his eyes to Luo Ge's side.

Looking at Mu Ziqin's stern and questioning eyes, Luo Ge was a little weak-hearted.

Her original plan was to use this dish to make Mu Ziqin notice the difference between herself from rebirth to the present, and then hoped to get rid of her suspicion as soon as possible. But now it seems that my method of prompting is not very effective. Luo Ge is even more atmospheric now, and he doesn't dare to come out. I'm afraid that if I say something, I'll go to prison again.

But Su Qingyu, who was present, didn't want to let her go. After hearing the name of the dish, she opened her mouth and asked Luo Ge: "Mrs. Luo, why is this year's dish different from previous years?" In the past, it was all big fish and meat in the north, why did you start to like home-cooked dishes in Jiangnan this year? ”

Listening to Su Qingyu's words, Luo Ge wanted to strangle her to death, but he couldn't. She even had to smile and reply with a serious face: "Back to the queen, this dish was accidentally seen in the classics by the concubine." I have also asked the palace chef for advice before, but there is this dish, so I chose it here. I want to try it. ”

"Oh?" Her answer also aroused the interest of the Queen Mother. She asked, "You said that this dish is from the classics, which book is it?" How is it written? ”

Luo Ge quickly found what he had seen in books when he was young. replied: "The concubine heard him say a few days ago at the Imperial Dining Room Li Zhangchu that this 'Bright Moon on the Sea' came from Chu Yue a hundred years ago. It was recorded in Chu Yue's palace book "Meal Record" that the king of Chu Yue liked to eat eggs, but he felt bored because of the perennial practical cooking of all kinds of cooking, so he specially appointed people to recruit imperial chefs in Chu Yue. However, the imperial chefs who came to apply for the job failed to win the favor of King Chu Yue. Until one day, a cook who wandered to Chu Yue Kingdom entered the palace and made a steamed egg for King Chu Yue that was different from what he usually ate, King Chu Yue had a new understanding of steamed eggs, and wanted the cook to stay and cook for him for a lifetime, but who knew that the cook refused at that time.

King Chu Yue asked him curiously, why did he reject himself? The cook only said one sentence: 'The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time.' Then the cook left Chu Yue Kingdom. When leaving, he left this recipe for King Chu Yue's 'Bright Moon on the Sea'. As for the name of the bright moon born on the sea, it was given by King Chu Yue himself. ”

Luo Ge's story was heard with relish, and she asked, "Then how is this bright moon on the sea made?" ”

Luo Ge smiled slightly and said, "It is the bright moon on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time." ”
