Outwit the concubine

I heard the palace maid shouting the name of the dish: "The main dishes are crispy pig's feet, Dongpo meat, spiced beef, fried grilled fish, casserole catfish, spicy chicken, white-cut chicken, cashew nut chicken, shredded pork in Beijing sauce, five-pigmented dough, fish-flavored eggplant pot, eggplant, tofu skin buns, bad goose paw duck letter, wine-stuffed steamed duck, fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, milk poria cream, vinegar and mushu, flavored mixed lamb kidney; Cold cuts have family portraits.

The staple foods include bird's nest porridge, oatmeal porridge, glutinous rice and red date porridge, seafood corn soup, red rice, and pegan rice;

Cakes include crystal shrimp dumplings, red dates and peach blossom cakes, peach blossom soup, peach blossom cakes, yam and jujube mud cakes, and eight treasures cakes.

There are two pots of peach blossom brewing for three years, two pots of Wuliangye, two pots of bamboo leaf green, two pots of wine, and two pots of peach wine. ”

As the palace maid fish came out habitually, plates of fragrant and delicious dishes were brought out, the emperor and Prince Rui were dumbfounded, and Manager Deng always felt that he had not eaten anything in the palace, and had never seen anything, but he had never heard of the dishes served by this little princess today. And these dishes seem to have only one plate each, and the plate is not full.

The emperor looked very surprised, so he smiled and asked, "Little girl, what are you doing?" Why are these dishes on a small plate? How can this be enough to eat? And how can this wine be held in such a small flask? If there is no big one, let the palace maid go back and forth, and I will find you a bigger one to pretend. ”

Shizuka smiled and shook her head, shut up and didn't speak, just commanding the palace maid to put these dishes on the long table in the hall.

The queen mother smiled happily and said to the emperor: "The emperor is here, today, the little girl said let's eat fresh, don't let people serve, hehehe, you'll know in a while." By the way, let me tell you something, Xiang'er said that the old grandmother in the princess's courtyard was too old to do anything, so she wanted them to go back to support the elderly, give them a sum of silver, and let them out of the palace. What do you think, Your Majesty? Prince Rui held his breath when he heard this, and looked at the emperor nervously.

When the emperor heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at Prince Rui with slanted eyes, and then looked at Shizuka smiling at him delicately and lovely, and said with the same expression on his face: "These grandmothers have dedicated their lives to the royal family, and now they are rushing back to their hometown, I am afraid that their hearts will be cold, and I think who in this palace will seriously serve the queen mother?" Otherwise, I will take them all into the palace, let them live in the Cixi Hall in the palace, and let them live a good old age, you see? Prince Rui's heart suddenly didn't dare to relax, and he only listened to the Queen Mother's answer.

The smile on the queen mother's face faded, and she smiled bitterly in her heart, this son is really not like herself, and he is absolutely like the emperor.

Shizuka saw that the queen mother's smile faded, so she hurried over and said with a smile: "Grandmother, what the emperor's uncle said is right, it's the granddaughter who wants to be bad, how can she just drive out of the palace, or the emperor's uncle is right, the granddaughter is inexperienced, and she almost made a big mistake." ”

Shizuka raised her eyes again, her eyes flashed brightly, but in fact, it was sharp. She looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "Just listen to the emperor's uncle, but can the uncle give a nurturing grandmother to give incense?" Shizuka didn't have a nurturing grandmother by her side. ”

When the emperor heard this, he also knew that this was a little girl competing with him, so he chuckled and said, "You, have you only now found out that you have no nurturing grandma around you?" But I don't know if that grandma is good, let my mother decide this later, and your grandmother will decide what yours is. I'm impatient with this. ”

Seeing that the emperor was relieved, the queen mother's face looked better, so she nodded and said: "In the past, your mother had a nurturing grandmother surnamed Jiang, the rules were good, and people were also friendly, so let her stay by your side in the future." ”

Shizuka also smiled happily and responded: "Okay, grandmother won't say this, come and see, the dishes are all on the table, by the way, there are rules for this meal, everyone can only do it themselves, twist it to their own plate, twist it and eat as much as it wants, there can be no leftovers, after eating one, you have to evaluate one, before you can eat the next one, this wine is the same, five kinds of wine, each taste is good, like that, after the meal, you can pack it and take it back to your bedroom to drink slowly." Hey, hey, of course, I have to rate it. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Why can you only drink a little?" Still want to evaluate? Are you using me as an experiment? ”

Shizuka smiled embarrassedly: "Uncle, when you run out, you will comment, and then naturally there will be a lot of thanks, you are the emperor, I will send your comments to Zhenxiang Pavilion marked up, in this way, my small restaurant can make money, hehehe." ”

The emperor smiled helplessly and asked, "If I don't evaluate it today, won't I be fed?" Don't give me any more wine? ”

Shizuka immediately shook her head and said, "How is it possible?" I've been preparing the ingredients for a few days, and I'm definitely going to give it to the emperor's uncle, but if I don't comment, I won't receive a big gift. Do you know that condiment for grilled fish? I'm worthy of it, it's really my own match, you'll know if you eat it. ”

Shizuka said that he acted like the child owed food, and Prince Rui's eyes flashed, so he didn't look at Shizuka, just looked at the dishes on the table and said, "The emperor doesn't eat?" I'm a rough man but I'm hungry, the Queen Mother asks for forgiveness, the minister wants to eat first, taste this grilled fish first." After saying that, he didn't care about them, so he got up and started by himself, and the Queen Mother also got up and started to move.

Seeing this, the emperor had no choice but to say to Shizuka: "Okay, good, good, it's good for me to make a comment, you can prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." After saying that, he immediately went to the table and started to do it himself.

Soon the emperor drank a few sips of each wine, because of the miscellaneous, a little dizzy, then Shizuka saw that the time was ripe, so he said to the emperor: "Uncle, you give me a nurturing grandma, the old family in the town of Jing'an's mother and three sisters have not been educated, these three years, I want to find a nurturing grandma to teach them, do you think it?"

In the future, they will be regarded as half of the royal relatives, and some etiquette will always have to be learned. Good no good? Uncle? ”

The emperor was dizzy, but he was still a little sober, so he said to Shizuka: "You go to the queen for this matter, let the queen be the master, don't tell me about such trivial things in the future, just find the queen." ”

Shizuka was overjoyed when she heard this, so she nodded happily, "Okay, then can my uncle still comment on my dishes?" My little restaurant is still waiting. ”

The emperor's tongue was a little bigger, so he saw his body shaking and waved his hand and said: "Write it for you tomorrow, if you can't do it today, you will make up for it tomorrow." Belch... Wine... Ugh"

When Mr. Deng saw that the emperor had drunk too much, he fed him a hangover tea, and helped the emperor to leave. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he thought that this Prince Rui was really lucky, there was a little princess planning for him, and today the emperor was in the way of the little princess, and he would definitely be furious when he woke up tomorrow.

Alas, this little princess, forget it, he is just a minion, where can he ask about these things?

When Shizuka saw that the emperor was gone, she immediately said to the queen mother: "Grandmother, these dishes are good, right?" I don't know if the queen's aunt wants to try it, and her granddaughter will send her some? ”

The Queen Mother also pretended to be drunk and shook her head and said: "The mourning family doesn't know, the mourning family is dizzy, Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun?" Hurry up and help the mourning family, the mourning family wants to rely on. With that, he leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed.

Prince Rui also seemed to be a little drunk, but his eyes were very grateful, Shizuka designed the emperor so boldly for his biological mother, and touched the emperor's tiger tail, both worried about her and happy for her.

Shizuka smiled and nodded at him, and said, "Uncle Xiao still wants to eat again?" It's time for the palace to get the key, it's better for you to leave the palace early, and when you come back, I'll make a table of delicious food myself. After speaking, he turned around and ordered his subordinates to send Prince Rui out of the palace.

Then he went to the queen's palace with food, the queen had not yet slept, and when she heard Shizuka coming, she saw her in her mattress, and Shizuka came out with the dishes and said: "Uncle, Xiang'er has been in the palace for more than ten days, and I have to make some good things to send to you today, don't be surprised." ”

The queen shook her head and smiled: "You little girl, don't talk about this, just say it, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”

Shizuka saw that the queen was quick to speak, so she also said directly: "I want a nurturing grandma to send to Jule Town, there are some things in the fief that need to be educated to help me teach some maids and sisters-in-law, I still have some property there, and I am afraid that they will be deceived and concealed, so I want to find a grandma to help me watch, does my aunt have the right person?" ”

When the queen heard that it was a trivial matter, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said while eating: "This matter, this needs to be raised by your own mother, without your own people, this own industry will be deceived by some slaves who bully the master." By the way, what about your own upbringing? The queen thought that Shizuka was a well-bred grandmother, so she asked casually.

Shizuka immediately said, "Today, my grandmother just gave me a nurturing grandmother surnamed Jiang, can I let her go?" ”

When the queen heard that it was given by the Queen Mother, it must be fine, so she finished eating the food in her mouth with peace of mind and said: "Well, the Queen Mother will definitely be fine with you, you can rest assured, but there is no one around you again, then I will let my grandmother's sister go to you, her surname is Wang, and the rules and etiquette are very good." Let her go to you. ”

Shizuka thanked her happily, and then gave the queen a bottle of essential oil, saying that it was put in water for bathing, which could make the body fragrant for seven days, and if you used it every day, it would be fragrant forever, and this bottle was made of lilies. The queen happily accepted it, and praised Shizuka's ingenuity.

Shizuka finally returned to her small courtyard and lay on the bed, she was so tired that she didn't want to move, she just sent Mama Jiang to Prince Rui's mansion overnight, and asked Prince Rui to send someone to Jule Town.

Her brain is going to rest, it's been three days, and there will be a tough battle to fight tomorrow, alas, I really don't want to worry about this, doesn't it mean that I can plant fields more easily? Why do you still want a palace fight? She is not a concubine, but she still has to fight with the emperor. The emperor is too suspicious, and he will have to leave Beijing in the future, and he will leave when the queen mother dies.

Buying a boat and sailing across the ocean to see it? The fourth master will definitely like it, well, that's it.
