Chapter 184: Staring at the Pavilion Old Mansion
Song Yao shook her head gently.
Standing in front of a jar of sea cucumbers that had just been opened, I stirred it with a spoon, and then opened another jar and repeated the action just now.
"Open the rest of the sealed jars and re-inspect all the ingredients." After Song Yao finished speaking, she turned to Sunset and said, "Bother the two girls, not only the ingredients, but also the Buddha jumping over the wall that I have done before, and I have to re-check them all." ”
Song Yao's tone was very solemn, and Sunset understood what she meant, so she nodded heavily.
Song Yao took Kexin and checked all the unopened ingredients.
For the sake of safety, I will have to test the two of them again after a while.
As a result, everyone was relieved, and nothing else was found except for the sea cucumber being dropped.
"Song Niangzi, this last Buddha jumped over the wall, but it has to be presented to the emperor, the queen mother and the queen and other nobles, and now there is no sea cucumber, can it still be done?" Sunset asked eagerly.
Song Yao pursed her lips and did not answer her words immediately.
It seems that the people who are secretly doing things also know that this arrangement will deliberately make it bad.
If the emperor and queen mother have not used the Buddha to jump over the wall, they will not be able to eat anything even if they do not add sea cucumbers.
But recently, Song Yao has been ordered to do it three times, as long as he doesn't have amnesia, he will definitely find that there is something missing in the Buddha jumping over the wall, no matter what the reason, Song Yao is afraid that he will not be happy.
"Song Niangzi is talking! The palace banquet will start in more than an hour, and ...... "The sunset is very stable on weekdays, but today it is very impatient."
"Miss Sunset doesn't have to worry, I have my own arrangements." Song Yao smiled faintly and shouted loudly: "Everyone go on, don't delay the palace banquet." ”
With Song Yao's instructions, even though the others were worried about Song Yao in their hearts, they all responded in unison and concentrated on the work in hand.
Song Yao instructed Kexin: "Kexin, you come with me, jump over the wall of the Buddha that was warmed before, and take out half a pot of soup and a sea cucumber from each portion." ”
"We're here to help, too." Although Sunset didn't understand what Song Yao meant, she also knew that this was a rescue method that Song Yao came up with, so she hurried forward.
"The two girls have responsibilities, don't be negligent." Song Yao said meaningfully.
Sunset's footsteps sank slightly, and she turned to Caixia and said, "You go and inform Sister Pingxue of the situation here, and I'll guard it here for the time being." ”
"Yes." Caixia left in response.
Sunset walked to the door, so that she could see the entire kitchenette and prevent someone from coming outside.
Song Yao's approach was very simple.
Because each pot of Buddha jumping over the wall takes a different amount of time, in order to make the dishes warm without cooling, Song Yao made more soup, so as to ensure that the Buddha jumping over the wall will not dry hard, which affects the taste.
After all, it is a royal banquet, so naturally there is no need to be stingy with ingredients, so Song Yao slightly adjusted the number of materials in the Buddha jumping over the wall, focusing on precious materials, so that the Buddha jumping over the wall looks more high-end, which is also for the royal long face, isn't it?
In fact, even if these Buddhas jump over the wall now, they are enough to evenly distribute them to each table, but the amount will be a little less, and it is okay to embellish the plate with some effort.
The last ten copies of the Buddha jumping over the wall, although it was for the emperor and others to enjoy, but in fact it was a spare number, which was also the usual rule of palace banquets.
But now that someone has made a move, Song Yao didn't dare to guarantee that there would be any problems in the future, so she thought of this idea.
Use the Buddha jumping over the wall to taste it, and then add the selected sea to it before it comes out of the pot, as long as you are not a professional gourmet, it is difficult to find.
Especially at a large banquet, the taste of the dishes changes slightly, but it is understandable.
Watching Song Yao and the others do things in an orderly manner, Sunset breathed a sigh of relief, just hoping that no more situations would happen.
Let's say that after Ping Xue received the news, she reported it to the queen, and the queen looked slightly cold, and told Ping Xue a few words, and let her do things.
It's just that the queen is also in the Queen Mother's palace at this time, and Ping Xue's whispers will also attract the attention of some people.
But they are all people who are used to acting, even if they are people who have secretly moved their hands and feet, they will not show it in their faces, and it is unknown whether they are proud in their hearts.
Shoukang Palace is lively and lively.
The Ruiqing Hall of the palace was as quiet as ever, and the palace people on duty didn't even dare to breathe, standing at their posts like wood.
Ruiqing Hall is where Helian Sheng lived when he was the prince, here is the best location, the closest to the emperor's heart palace, and everything in it is also low-key luxury, any piece of furnishings is worth a fortune, which shows how its owner is favored.
Even though Helian Sheng had already ordered the mansion to be built, this Ruiqing Hall remained the same, and even the emperor did not dare to move it.
It's not that no one has ever moved the idea of living in, but there is the first emperor's dictation in front of the ministers, unless Helian Sheng empties the things in the Ruiqing Palace, otherwise this Ruiqing Hall is the place where Helian Sheng enters the palace to rest, so he can only think about it.
As for moving the things in the Ruiqing Palace, Helian Sheng really didn't have such an idea, he didn't want to go and rest in the same courtyard with others every time there was a palace banquet.
Moreover, the significance of this palace to Heliansheng is extraordinary, and there are countless memories.
"Master, ...... over there in the kitchen" Zhu Xin whispered a few words in Helian Sheng's ear, and then stood aside and waited for the order.
Ruiqing Hall is not guarded by guards, but it is full of secret guards, and even the emperor and queen know this, so without Heliansheng's permission, no one will have the courage to come in.
In the Ruiqing Palace, Helian Sheng is the only master.
"Since Madame already has a way to deal with it, let that person toss, but we must not waste Madame's achievements in vain." He Liansheng sneered and said.
"Yes." Zhu Xin received the order, with a lively expression, and quickly went out to explain the secret guard operation.
Some people's wishful thinking is afraid that it will come to naught.
Dare to calculate Song Yao, it is undoubtedly to declare war with Heliansheng, but I don't know if I can afford the consequences.
Glancing at the sky outside, Helian Sheng asked lightly, "It's time for the concubine to enter the palace, right?" ”
"Yes, the concubine Niangniang should have already said Shoukang Palace." Zhuxin, who had gone and returned, replied.
"It's time for this king to go and say hello to the Queen Mother." Helian Sheng opened his mouth indifferently, with a little playfulness in his expression.
Although the relationship between the Queen Mother and Concubine Duangui was good in the past, Helian Sheng and the Queen Mother never got along much, so they did not have any feelings behind them.
It's just that the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother after all, and Helian Sheng is in the capital, so he wants to go to ask for peace.
Zhu Xin said with a smile: "The master is happy, let's wait a while and then go over, Shoukang Palace is lively." ”
"Oh?" He Liansheng didn't seem to be interested, but he was too bored here, so he wanted to listen to relieve his boredom.
"Song Ge Lao passed on to a righteous son yesterday, and he is still an acquaintance, the Song Gongzi who was saved by his wife. This Song Gongzi is okay, it is said that he has been very motivated recently, and he has won the eyes of Song Ge Lao. But his lady ......"
The corners of Zhuxin's mouth twitched, it wasn't that he wanted to sell Guanzi, he really didn't know how to describe it.
"This young lady of the old mansion is not in the limelight in Shoukang Palace today, if it weren't for the queen mother's good temperament, I'm afraid that even Mrs. Song would be expelled from the palace. The young lady who is partial to the birth has no eyes, and she doesn't know how to restrain herself, which will almost offend the ladies and ladies in Beijing. ”
"Even if there are a few people who stand on the same front as her, it can only be said that they gather like things."
Helian Sheng was not interested in women's things, so he didn't say anything, but he felt a little aggrieved for Song Ge Lao.
For so many years, Song Ge's backyard has been very quiet, and now that he has adopted a son, it is a miasma, and his reputation in this life is about to be ruined.
didn't know what to remember, Helian Sheng suddenly sneered, "Pavilion Old Mansion, it's time to have a lively time." This Song Zhiyuan is somewhat interesting. ”
"The master is saying that this is the result of Song Gongzi's indulgence?" Zhu Xin was a little surprised by Helian Sheng's words.
Although Helian Sheng has a lot of hidden stakes in the capital, he doesn't listen to these trivial things on weekdays.
Even Zhuxin doesn't pay much attention to it, and there are too many things to be busy with.
And today is boring in the palace, so this will be said as fun.
Of course, it was also that Song Li was too strange, which made Zhu Xin pay a little attention.
"Over there in the old mansion, let people pay more attention." Helian Sheng commanded.
Zhu Xin didn't know why, but Helian Sheng didn't explain, and he didn't want to ask too much, so he nodded yes.
Helian Sheng stepped on the hour to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday, and the Duanyu Gui Concubine had already sat on a stick of incense, seeing that Helian Sheng had been in the palace for so long, but he had only come to pay his respects, but he didn't say anything.
And the Queen Mother naturally asked Heliansheng with a smile to say something, expressing her concern for Heliansheng, and she was not half dissatisfied.
When the birthday banquet arrived, the Queen Mother, accompanied by the concubine Duanyu, went to the Zichen Hall together.
It is said that it is the concubine Duanyu who accompanied the queen mother, but in fact, it is better to say that the queen mother carefully accompanied the concubine Duanyugui, and even the words were flattering, where did she dare to oppress people with her identity.
In the Zichen Palace, the emperor and queen led the emperor's relatives and relatives, as well as the ministers and family members who came to pay their respects, welcomed the queen mother and congratulated her birthday in unison.
A festive birthday feast accompanied by intrigue is about to begin.
But these have nothing to do with little people like Song Yao, now she is just a cook, responsible for preparing the dishes for the birthday banquet, and she doesn't know anything about the situation in Zichen Palace, even the sound of silk and bamboo can only be faintly heard.
No way, the palace is too big, and in this era without megaphones, the sound will not travel far.
"Ma'am, sit down for a while." After the palace people jumped over the wall and walked away, Red Sleeves moved a chair to Song Yao.
"There are no outsiders here, so sit still." Song Yao has never liked to put on the master's score, but she is very protective.
The group has been busy for so long, they are all very tired, they don't even have the time to drink saliva, and there is no objection to paying attention to the rules.
"Song Niangzi, about the sea cucumber, Sister Pingxue will investigate it. If Song Niangzi is not implicated, I hope Song Niangzi can forget about it. Sunset stepped forward and said, not in a negotiated tone.
"The women were ordered to enter the palace, and the things that should be done have been done, and they will leave the palace after receiving the reward, and Xie En is too late, and she will only remember the beauty of the red walls and green tiles in the palace, and the care of several girls, and I don't remember that there are other things." Song Yao smiled faintly, her eyes swept over Red Sleeves and the others, and asked, "What about you?" ”
"Slaves and subordinates are the same as ladies." Everyone replied in unison.
Sunset secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Song Yao and they didn't understand the rules, so she would mention such a sentence.
"The birthday banquet should have begun, and we have nothing to do, let's rest for a while, hurry up and eat something to rest, Ming'er is still waiting for the reward." Song Yao said this with a smile, got up and took Sunset's hand and walked out, and put a jade bracelet on Sunset's wrist without a trace.
"Song Niangzi, what do you mean by this?" Sunset asked.
