Lin Saiyu entered the inner palace, did not dare to raise his head all the way, only followed Eunuch Zhang, only to see the circle around, walked for a quarter of an hour, I don't know what kind of scenery the inner courtyard of this deep palace is, only know that the big bluestone road under the feet is really clean, this way down, the heart is a lot quieter, hands and feet are not as shaking as Fang Cai, is thinking wildly, followed Eunuch Zhang into a flower hall, suddenly felt the warm fragrance on the face, the feet are soft like stepping on the clouds, the ears heard the women's laughter, stunned by Zhang Yujian lightly touched, immediately will knees bowThis is the first time she has knelt like this since she came to ancient times.

"Niangniang, the Cao family of the Liu family is here." Eunuch Zhang said with a smile, Lin Saiyu fell to the ground, heard the crisp sound of the bead curtain, and the sound of footsteps, and then heard a woman's voice say, "Oh, come in, let me see." ”

Lin Saiyu was stunned for a moment, and heard Eunuch Zhang say in her ears: "Cao, thank you quickly, go in." ”

I hurriedly thanked him, staggered up, and someone next to him laughed when he heard it, and suddenly blushed, but he didn't dare to stop, and hurriedly entered the compartment, and then knelt down and said to the lord: "The woman knocks on the mother." But when I heard the laughter louder, I couldn't help but beat hard.

"Don't scare the kid." The woman said softly, stopping the laughter, and said, "All right, get up." ”

Lin Saiyu stood up cautiously, lowered his head and saw a lot of brocade dresses standing on his left, and then he suddenly worshiped in the wrong direction, no wonder it made people laugh, and then, Lin Saiyu stood like this, listening to the woman's questioning, sure enough, because of yesterday's banquet, it turned out to be a coincidence, the emperor's brother Qi Wang Zhao Hao had nothing to do, and went to the banquet halfway, and the royal family who were accustomed to eating mountain and sea food was attracted by the table of red and green and green, and he was happy to eat, and packed a cage of willow leaf bags before leaving, and he lived in the palace most of the time, naturally, I can't forget to honor my grandmother and the emperor, and this dedication is dedicated to the Liu family Cao family as an opportunity to meet.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hao'er came back and said that we are all hungry, Cao's, don't talk about it, how do you make this willow leaf dumpling? Why is it different from yours in the palace? "The woman said.

Lin Saiyu raised his head slightly with the audacity, and sure enough, he saw a plate of willow leaf dumplings piled up on the table, and then he saw an old woman with a silver head sitting in front of him, presumably this is the Empress Dowager Cao, who is famous in history, and couldn't help but be a little excited, so she couldn't bear it and didn't look at Tianyan directly.

Speaking of which, this queen mother is completely different from the perverted queen mother in the Qing Dynasty dramas that Lin Saiyu often watched on TV in later generations, this person was born in Jiangmen, and he is quite involved in history, assisting the emperors of the three dynasties, the most difficult thing is that she is pure and kind-hearted, broad-minded, of course, her actions against Wang Anshi's changes are related to her knowledge, and have nothing to do with the mind.

Lin Saiyu swept around with the corner of her eyes while thinking about it, and saw more than a dozen young women surrounded by Empress Dowager Cao, one by one with palace-like makeup, holding scarves and fans, and the gold beads and jade were dazzling, Lin Saiyu hurriedly lowered her eyes and said all over the practice of willow leaf dumplings, and a woman said: "Niangniang, let's do the same, how can you eat it is crooked?" ”

Although Lin Saiyu lowered his head, he could feel that everyone's eyes in the room fell on him, and he hurriedly said, "It must be the imperial chef who added Xiangshan." ”

Listening to the Empress Dowager Cao's voice, she immediately recruited someone to ask, and asked Lin Saiyu about some family matters, how old is it, who else is there in the family, when did you become a parent, how do you live here, it is like an ordinary person talking to each other, and the palace maid who asked after a while came back and said with a smile: "Sure enough, why is it not fragrant with Xiangshan?" ”

Lin Saiyu hurriedly got up and said: "The women make the coarse food of the daily villagers, and they don't even use seasonings on weekdays, and the flour is also coarse, so I don't dare to compare it with the palace." ”

Empress Dowager Cao nodded and smiled: "That's it, the seasoning is used to cover its original flavor." Knowing that Lin Saiyu came from the township, and asked how the life of the people in the village is now, Lin Saiyu naturally picked up the nice words and said, the more happy the Empress Dowager Cao was, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, we can also eat enough fresh vegetables. ”

Lin Saiyu hurriedly got up again and didn't dare to say anything, so Empress Dowager Cao nodded, looked at her carefully, and pointed to the people around her: "Look at this all-round style, it is not half a point worse than those poetry heirlooms who have been in the family for several lifetimes, and this appearance is also good, and the body is also strong, and it is easy to give birth." Everyone who said it covered their mouths and smiled, Lin Saiyu lowered her head and blushed, and the Empress Dowager Cao said loudly, pointing at everyone with her finger: "What are you laughing at, what do you young people know, women are only blessed in this way." Everyone naturally laughed and agreed.

Lin Saiyu bowed her head and said with a smile: "We go to the ground all day long, how can we compare with the nobles, the folk women can see the mother today, and I am afraid that I will not be able to enjoy it for a few lifetimes." ”

The Empress Dowager Cao also smiled, she was used to hearing the clever compliments of the people in the palace of the nobles in the capital, and now when she heard such a person say, she felt real and credible, and the more happy she became, she asked how old the old people in the village were? In fact, there are very few long-lived people in Shifang Village, but Lin Saiyu didn't dare to say this even if she was stupid, and she was busy saying a few according to Cao Sanyunniang's appearance, and the Empress Dowager Cao was even more happy to hear it, and sighed: "I also lived in the countryside when I was a child, and it is not very far from you Cheng'an, I heard you talk about the things in the village, just like I was at that time, in retrospect, the days are bitter, but it is also fun, since I entered the palace as a teenager, the days of going out can be counted, and now I just want to go out to see, and this body can't walk." ”

Everyone who said was busy laughing while taking words to divert her thoughts, Lin Saiyu listened a little sadly, and looked up slightly at this old man who was close to the sixtieth birthday, according to history, she still had three or four years to live, knowing that this Empress Dowager Cao likes to listen to the countryside, and she was busy searching a few in her mind, and the old people with a little god and Buddha love to listen to things, not only Empress Dowager Cao listened to God, but even the palace maids around her loved it very much, they were locked in this deep palace, after all, they were all cardamom age, but they had to refuse themselves all the time, although they didn't worry about food and clothing, In my heart, I carry it all day long, and I rarely have the opportunity to listen to the story, and I am fascinated by it one by one.

It was the speaker who arose, and when the listener was happy, a voice sounded outside the door: "Niangniang is so lively here." ”

Lin Saiyu stopped talking violently, saw that those palace maids had already run and knelt down, and said in unison: "Your Majesty." With a trembling heart, he knelt down busily, accompanied by a chill that came with people, a pair of small fox leather boots with complicated colors appeared in front of him, a corner of the purple silk robe, someone came past them, walked to the side of the Empress Dowager Cao to say hello, the Empress Dowager Cao hurriedly pulled it up with one hand, and said: "Zhu Jieyu is going to give birth in the next few days, I heard that I can't eat?" Have you seen it? ”

The person who came was the emperor Zhao Ji, who had just finished dealing with a batch of state affairs and came to ask for peace, the emperor first asked everyone to get up, and then said to the queen mother: "Niangniang, the imperial doctor also looked at it, and only said that it was okay, but now I still don't eat staple food, only eat some fresh milk." ”

The emperor's heir is difficult, and now he doesn't have a son, the Empress Dowager Cao listened to it with a sad face, and recited a few Buddhas, the emperor's eyes swept over everyone at this time, and fell on Lin Saiyu, who was standing behind the people, and said: "This is the Cao family of Liu Aiqing's family, right?" ”

Lin Saiyu hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down again, and said, "The people have seen Your Majesty. Feeling a beam of eyes hovering over his body for a moment, he heard the emperor say it, and hurriedly lowered his head and stood up, about to retreat.

"I heard that you can also farm, Liu Aiqing has said many times that your craftsmanship is not much worse than his, but is it true?" The Emperor called him and asked curiously.

Lin Saiyu bowed her head and said: "The women don't dare, they are taught well by the officials, and they all learn from him." ”

What else did the emperor want to say, but the Empress Dowager Cao remembered something, and hurriedly patted the emperor and said: "Official, this Cao family cooks a good meal, why don't you let her cook a few dishes, change the taste for Zhu Jieyu, maybe just eat it, okay?" ”

said that Lindsay Yu almost collapsed on the ground, oh my God, to feed the emperor's concubine who is pregnant and will give birth to a son in the future, and if she eats it, she will die! couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the emperor, hoping that he would not act arbitrarily for the sake of his concubine.

This is the first time she has seen a real living emperor, but it is not a distorted and deformed image in a history textbook, I can't help but be stunned, people say that the founding emperor is generally ugly, but it is passed on to the second or third generation, because of the excellent maternal genes, basically few ugly people appear, the emperor in front of him is less than thirty years old, it is really beautiful, plus a noble clothes, it looks graceful, a beautiful man.

"I broke up the chatter this morning, and I also heard that the Liu family had a good banquet last night, and it turned out that Mrs. herself cooked." The emperor said and looked at Lin Saiyu, and saw that this woman was looking at him, as if he was stunned, he couldn't help but smile, and swept his eyes at random, and saw that she was wearing a red palace embroidered robe, holding a black black hair, and her face was delicate, and her face was delicate, and she secretly said that such a look was worthy of Liu Xiaohu's cherishment, but she felt that she was a countrywoman after all, and she stared at a man, which was really a little vulgar, thinking that he had never dared to look directly at himself since he was a child, even if he looked at it secretly, in this way, he felt a little novel.

Lin Saiyu suddenly saw a smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and was so frightened that he came back to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat, eager to slap himself, when has this happened, he was still so casual, and he was busy lowering his body and saying that he didn't dare.

"In this case, you can try a few, and change your taste." The Emperor said, shattering Lindsay's expectations and causing her already calm legs and feet to tremble again.

"The women don't dare, how can the women's coarse food make ......" Lindsay Yu knelt down as soon as her legs were weak, and said hurriedly, she didn't want to die, and she didn't want to be beaten.

Empress Dowager Cao smiled, hurriedly helped her up, and said that it might as well be fresh, Lindsay Yu did not dare to refuse again and again, so she had to be pulled into the imperial kitchen, and the palace maid next to her loved her true feelings, unlike those ladies who came to the palace, one by one with a shelf and pretended, and comforted from time to time, so that Lindsay Yu finally stabilized her trembling hands, and the rotation of her brain flew away, pregnant women, waiting to give birth, pregnant women, waiting to give birth, thinking about it, she couldn't help but lament, she was never pregnant, where did she know what to eat, only knew that pregnant women eat taboos, She had taken a course in animal husbandry, but she knew how to serve the livestock to be produced, so she couldn't help but secretly snort a few mouthfuls of herself, what and what!

"Ma'am." Seeing her panicked, the palace maid had no bottom in her heart, and urged a few times with some worry, and saw Lin Saiyu bite her teeth, grab the kitchen knife on the case, and choose a few dishes to make Dongdong, and after a while, she made two side dishes and a bowl of soup, and someone tried the dishes and sent them out.

When the emperor and the queen mother in the palace looked at it together, they saw a plate of golden meatballs, a plate of shredded sauce and shredded pork with lotus leaf cakes and green onions, and a bowl of rice porridge, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Official, do you think it's feasible?" Empress Dowager Cao asked, while fanning it with her hand, the aroma was not strong, and it seemed ordinary.

The emperor looked at it, suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up a ball and ate it, chewed it a few times and said in surprise: "Niangniang, it's really delicious, it seems to be a pumpkin?" Lin Saiyu had been standing on the side, and after listening to it, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it's the pumpkin." ”

Empress Dowager Cao listened, and couldn't help but eat one, immediately praised it, and pointed to the lotus leaf cake and asked what it was, Lin Saiyu thought about it, said overstep, stepped forward and rolled the lotus leaf cake with shredded meat and green onions, and handed it to the Empress Dowager Cao's close maid, Empress Dowager Cao took a bite and ate it, and smiled with joy, the emperor was naturally curious when he saw it, and the palace woman learned from Lindsay Yu and handed it to him to eat.

"Official, send it faster than Zhu Jieyu, if you don't send it again, we will finish eating." Empress Dowager Cao smiled, while taking the handkerchief given by the palace maid to clean her hands, Lin Saiyu breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the emperor got up and retired and left with the eunuch who was holding vegetables, Empress Dowager Cao let Lin Saiyu sit down, and after talking for a while, the palace maid with eyes held a bunch of gold and jade, and said: "Whether Zhu Jieyu likes to eat or not, the mourning family likes it." After rewarding Lin Saiyu, Lin Saiyu hurriedly thanked her, and Empress Dowager Cao asked her to tell the cook the method, saying that she would eat this at night.

As he spoke, the emperor sent someone to come, saying that Zhu Jieyu had eaten it, was overjoyed, and sent some pearls and emeralds as a reward, and when Lin Saiyu walked out of the palace gate, he held his hands full, and saw Liu Xiaohu pacing back and forth in the snow from a distance, not caring about the eunuch behind him, he ran over quickly, Liu Xiaohu saw it, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Eryang, Eryang." Lin Saiyu narrowed her eyes with a smile, and showed him the things in her hand, Liu Xiaohu suddenly smiled when she saw her, took it with one hand, and said in a low voice: "Are you okay?" ”

Lin Saiyu nodded, Liu Xiaohu thanked the eunuch who followed, and gave him a few pieces of gold and jade, the eunuch took it with a smile, and sent the two out, and when they got home, they were naturally happy again.

"Daughter-in-law, the nobles in the palace actually said that our home-cooked meal is good?" Liu sighed, not in any mood.

Lin Saiyu smiled and said, "Mother, where is it really good, it's just that they are used to eating good food, and occasionally change to coarse food, and they feel fresh, and they will get tired of it if they can't eat it for two days." Speaking of the rise, thinking of the story of the later generations of jade white jade soup, he replaced the emperor of the Qing Dynasty with the emperor of ancient times, told this story again, and everyone in the room laughed.

Seeing that the hour was not early, Liu fell asleep with her head down, and faintly felt that Liu Xiaohu helped her pinch the corners of the quilt tightly and lay down with herself.

When I woke up on the second day, Liu Xiaohu had already left, and Lin Saiyu didn't have time to clean up her mood, so she was disturbed by the people who came to congratulate her.

Only on the seventeenth day of the lunar month, Lin Saiyu took Ah Yuan to sit in Mrs. Wu's flower hall, the two of them were indispensable to talk about it, and after the tea was boiled twice, Mrs. Wu finally coughed under Ah Yuan's aggressive gaze and said: "Originally, I was still a little worried, but now that my sister has won the reward of the Queen Mother and the official family, my heart is at ease, even if that person is no matter what, we are not afraid." ”

Lin Saiyu clenched her hand in her sleeve and said with a forced smile: "Sister, it seems that I am the only one who doesn't know about it now."
