The mandarin duck pulled a ripple sleeve and whispered: "Ripple, you don't say a few words." Saying this, the mandarin duck is also up and down in his heart, and he can see clearly how Niangniang did it just now, although such a competition, whether he can win the championship in one fell swoop has nothing to do with Changle Palace, but if the evaluation is too low, Niangniang is the master of the harem

Kou Shu's face was not at all calm, and she didn't look worried at all.

One dish after another passed in front of Song Jinyan, some dishes Song Jinyan just glanced at, and some dishes would raise their chopsticks to take two bites. Until a plate of dishes, Song Jinyan actually stopped for a long time, and he seemed to be a little distracted.

"Your Majesty—" Su Peiyuan, who was on the side, saw that his master was distracted, and cautiously stepped forward to remind.

Song Jinyan came back to his senses at this time, raised his chopsticks and slowly stretched out towards the dishes on the plate. The Queen Mother followed Song Jinyan, saw the dishes on the plate, picked them up and slowly put them in her mouth, only to feel that they were light and had a long aftertaste, the flavor was unique, and it was very delicious.

"Who did this?" The Queen Mother opened her slightly squinted eyes and then asked.

Everyone in each palace standing in a row raised their heads, and their eyes showed a look of expectation—if it was the dishes they served, it would be good.

Su Peiyuan stepped forward and glanced at the dishes on the glittering plate, and couldn't help but flash a look of surprise in his heart, this dish looked bland, what ...... Su Peiyuan withdrew from his puzzlement, cleared his throat, raised his head and said loudly: "Back to the Queen Mother, this dish is the work of the Queen Mother." ”

Ripple and Mandarin Duck glanced at each other, both surprised.

The Queen Mother hummed and raised her chopsticks, intending to taste the next dish.

But I saw a row of girls with trays, there seemed to be a trace of turmoil, and several girls with trays exchanged ears. Kou Shu looked closely, Su Peiyuan had already rushed over at a very fast speed, and the scene was restored to calm in three or two clicks, and people led a girl with a tray and quietly withdrew from the team.

Su Peiyuan glanced at the holy decree in his hand, suppressed the confusion in his heart, and still read: "This spring feast, the emperor and the queen mother both agree that it is the best dish made by the queen's mother. ”

Kou Shu lowered her head, as if she was not surprised at all, stepped forward and saluted.

"Queen, what the hell are you doing, the taste is unique." The Queen Mother looked at Kou Shu and said slowly: "Besides, the mourning family still has a question, the theme of this banquet is flowers blooming in spring, but why does the mourning family look at the whole dish, there is not a single flower?" ”

The queen mother's body retreated slightly, and everyone saw that there was a square light green object on the plate, which made people think it was a crisp cake at first glance.

Kou Shu gave the Queen Mother a slight blessing, and then said: "Back to the Queen Mother, this is the elm cake, this cake is a kind of cake often used by the poor people, the preparation method is simple, in the folk is to use the leaves of the elm tree to mash into slurry, and into the flour, kneaded and shaped, and steamed on the steamer, but although the elm leaves are sweet, there is a little more bitterness in the sweetness. ”

The Queen Mother listened intently, and when she heard that this was the food eaten by the poor people, a different kind of approval flashed in her eyes.

Kou Shu continued: "Erchen then took advantage of the practice of this elm cake, and instead used the stalks of various flowers to squeeze into a pulp, the flowers in the palace are all of the highest quality, but there are florists who carefully care for them, and the stalks are not like ordinary folk people who have received insect bites, the juice is sweet and full, and the bitter taste is completely absent. Only lips and teeth are fragrant. ”

"I see-" The Queen Mother nodded: "So when it comes to the scene of spring, other people's dishes are full of flowers, but the queen, your dishes are just stalks?" ”

Kou Shu smiled slightly, bowed down towards the Queen Mother, and then nodded: "Queen Mother, the so-called spring scenery is wind and rain, flowers and stems, and everything you see in front of you is a unique scene in spring. It was a concubine who made a trick, and instead of using flowers, he used leaves to set off the atmosphere of spring. ”

This elm cream tastes light and refreshing, the lips and teeth are fragrant, the taste is light and elegant but not thin, taste carefully, but you can taste a faint floral fragrance.

The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and she nodded and said, "The queen has a heart, and the mourning family likes this dish very much," After that, the queen mother tilted her head slightly and said towards Song Jinyan; "What does the emperor think?"

Song Jinyan's eyes also had a little more approval, nodded, looked at Kou Shu and said, "The queen's dish is unique, I think the same as the queen mother." ”

After that, Song Jinyan just wanted to open his mouth to continue, but he saw Su Peiyuan take a step forward and approach Song Jinyan's ear, as if he was saying something.

Kou Shu was stunned, only to see Song Jinyan's face suddenly change, the last second was still warm in the spring breeze, but the next second was thunderous, and he slapped the armchair on his hand suddenly, Song Jinyan shouted angrily: "Concubine Lan, what did you do?" ”

Lan Ruoxuan was already not interested in this kind of competition, and just now she just asked her subordinates to make a dish, and there was a hyacinth on it that represented spring, and when she heard Song Jinyan suddenly speak, Lan Ruoxuan was a little confused: "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Song Jinyan suddenly picked up the wine bottle in his hand, threw it at Lan Ruoxuan's feet, and said coldly: "What do you mean?" You tried to murder me, and you still have the face to ask what does this mean? ”

"Huh?" Lan Ruoxuan's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked confused.

"Ahh Song Jinyan shouted angrily, and then pointed at Su Peiyuan on the side: "Su Peiyuan, you repeat what you just said to me." ”

Su Peiyuan took a step forward and said to Lan Ruoxuan: "Concubine Lan just did it, but you have accumulated abalone cups?" ”

Lan Ruoxuan nodded: "Exactly." ”

This dish is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, it will not be too showy, and it will not be too bad and embarrassed.

Su Peiyuan's next sentence made Lan Ruoxuan's jaw drop in shock: "Concubine Lan Guiniang, the little eunuch who just tested the poison ate the Zhaoji abalone cup you made and vomited blood and died." ”

"What?" Lan Ruoxuan's eyes widened suddenly, she looked at Su Peiyuan in disbelief, shook her head violently and said, "Grandpa Su, this palace has never done anything. ”

If it is an ordinary banquet sent by the imperial dining room, it is a eunuch who has a daily drug test in the imperial dining room, and he specially tries to taste the poison before the emperor and the queen mother eat it, this time because there are many concubines, so there are many eunuchs who test the poison, one of which is that he suddenly vomited blood and died violently after tasting Lan Ruoxuan's abalone cup.
