The fifteenth episode, the shadow of the red window

"Who died?" A coquettish shout interrupted the three of them, and when they looked back, Princess Luoxue walked in with Jiang Shaoheng's sleeve.

Jiang Shaoheng is still folding a fan in his hand, elegant in white, with sparse eyebrows, and his whole body is full of nobility, but his hands are still wrapped in bandages, presumably the last injury is not healed. When Luoxue saw Jian Huaizhen, she raised her face and laughed dryly, and there was a faint look of fear between her eyebrows.

"I just came in and heard you say that you are alive and dead, if you touch the mold today, you are the only one who asks." Luoxue squinted at the imperial grandson and covered his mouth and smiled.

"Brother Shaoheng, you're here." Jian Wenying stepped forward in three steps and two steps, stroked Jiang Shaoheng's shoulder, and laughed loudly.

Luo Xue was not satisfied, he stood between him and Jiang Shaoheng, and glanced at him fiercely. Jian Wenying already snorted and said, "I thought it was a small gathering of our brothers, but I didn't want to have irrelevant people again." Sister, you are more close to Brother Shaoheng. After speaking, he went to pull Jian Huaizhen's sleeve, but Jian Huaizhen avoided it.

The falling snow bit her lower lip hard, and between her lips and teeth was a shocking red, reflecting the wanton swagger of "drunken red", which was as delicate as a flower for a while, beautiful and moving. When Jian Wenying raised her eyes and saw it, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Luo Xue's face was full of smiles, and he said in an uncommon gentle tone: "Brother Wenying and Sister Huaizhen don't want to be angry with me. The previous thing was that I was too rude and ignorant. Brother Shaoheng has already taught me a lesson, and I already know my mistakes. I asked my grandson to set up a 'Duanhua banquet' because I wanted to apologize to the two. Please stop blaming me. Between the words, it was extremely sincere, teary and pitiful, which was very different from the usual arrogance and domineering.

Jian Wenying couldn't see a woman cry in her life, seeing her as a princess, so carefully making amends, her tears were hazy, she was pitiful, and her anger was unconsciously eliminated, so she said: "I, Jian Wenying, am not a stingy person, just know your mistakes." ”

Jian Huaizhen just looked at the drunken safflower and was stunned, without saying a word.

Before long, exquisite dishes were served. The blue and white folded branch lotus pattern plate is filled with pearl snow fungus stir-fried eel, the blue and white tangled branch chrysanthemum pattern rhombic plate is held with steamed eight treasure pigs, and the blue and white blossomed branch folded branch camellia pattern bowl is filled with mixed crab meat...... There are also blue and white loquat entwined branches and flower pattern lotus seed bowl with lotus fragrance, blue and white baby play pattern pier bowl with goldfish bean paste cake, blue and white entwined branch lily pattern bowl with hydrangea cloud lily crisp...... Eight large plates, eight small bowls, all of which are served with exquisite blue and white porcelain, glazed and beautiful.

The group took their seats. Jian Wenying couldn't help but sigh: "Good dish! Blue and white are cool, and it is best to serve hot dishes in summer. These eight large dishes and eight small bowls complement each other, the color and fragrance are rich, and just looking at them has taught people to move their index fingers. After everyone tasted it carefully, they felt that the fragrance of the vegetables was elegant, and the lips and teeth were fragrant, which could be described as a jade plate delicacy and delicious food.

Zhu Zhanji, the emperor's grandson, took a piece of hydrangea cloud lily and chewed it carefully, and said with a slight color: "These dishes are made by the new imperial chef Gongsun Sanniang, who is specially ordered by this king." ”

"Who is Gongsun Thirteen Niang? Is it famous? Even the grandson knows. Princess Luoxue raised her head and asked Jiang Shaoheng.

Jiang Shaoheng groaned slightly, and said lightly: "At this year's North and South Celebrity Chef Conference, a woman who is famous for cooking Lu cuisine won the championship, and this female chef is Gongsun Thirteen Niang. ”

"The emperor's grandfather personally issued a royal decree and summoned Gongsun Thirteen Niang into the palace to be the imperial chef. She only cooks sixteen dishes a day, eight large plates, six small bowls, and the tricks are never repeated. Today, because I want to give you a banquet, I have ordered her to prepare a banquet in the Ciqing Palace. The imperial grandson raised his eyebrows and smiled, "There is no food without wine, and there is no banquet." When singing about wine, life is geometric, I specially ordered someone to prepare a jar of pear blossom white today and drink it with my confidant. ”

After the words were finished, a palace man carried a jar of pear blossoms. Pear blossom white is a famous wine in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When the pear blossoms first bloom, after a spring rain, the pear blossoms bring rain like pear tears of a beautiful woman. The pear blossoms at this time are picked and brewed, the fragrance is rich and tangy, clear and sweet, mellow and lush, and this kind of wine is called "pear blossom white".

There are also palace people to offer the luminous cup made of Qilian Mountain jade and Wushan Mandarin Duck jade, the cup is as thin as paper, sparkling, smooth inside and outside, and the decoration is natural. When the wine is poured into the glass, the color of the wine is crystal clear, and the clear jade liquid shines through the walls of the glass, which is as thin as an eggshell.

The imperial grandson took a sip of the jade*liquid*-like wine, and said with a deep smile: "This set of luminous cups was given to the young master by the former father, and the legend is that it was given to King Zhou Mu by the Queen Mother of the West. The young master has always been a favorite, but this time he is willing to lend it to the king for a banquet, which is really rare. After speaking, he looked at Jian Huaizhen with a smile.

Jian Huaizhen was stunned. She played with the glittering wine glass, and her eyes were stained with the color of wine, like jade-colored glass.

Luo Xue pouted, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently showed a hint of resentment. She stood up, picked up the wine jug, and said with a smile: "Since I am making amends to Master Jian and Miss Jian today, I will naturally be punished for pouring wine." And when he had finished speaking, he filled the glasses of the people one by one.

Jian Huaizhen was clear-minded, and he had long expected that Luoxue would not sincerely make amends. Therefore, pay special attention to her every move. When she poured the wine into her glass, her little nails as white as jade trembled slightly, and a faint white end fell into the wine. Her movements were very small, and the white end was light and light, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to spot it at all.

Jian Huaizhen's gaze inadvertently collided with Jiang Shaoheng's gaze, suddenly merging and parting. Jiang Shaoheng frowned slightly and glanced at Jian Huaizhen's wine glass. Jian Huaizhen smiled faintly and bowed slightly. So, everything is silent.

"Miss Jane, I toast you with a drink, and I should accompany you. In the past, you don't take it to heart, and we will be sisters in the future. Luo Xue took a sip of her wine glass, walked to Jian Huaizhen's side, and sat down next to her.

Jian Huaizhen smiled lightly and said calmly: "In this case, I will also help the princess pour wine." After speaking, he took the jade pot and poured wine for the Snow Princess.

It's just a moment of time, as fast as lightning, and no one can see clearly, Jian Huaizhen has already covered her with a water sleeve and replaced her with the snowy wine glass.

The falling snow was still unconscious, and they raised their glasses again, and the two drank together. After drinking, a sly smile appeared on the face of Yingying Powder in the falling snow. Jian Huaizhen only didn't realize it, and talked and laughed freely.

Not long after, Luoxue's complexion suddenly turned red, and her delicate face was distorted very much, and her whole body trembled like chaff, and the whole person seemed to be very uncomfortable. She was a little surprised, a little embarrassed, but she didn't know what to do.

When Jiang Shaoheng saw it, he let out a long sigh and said with a forced smile: "Xue'er is not feeling well, I will accompany her back to Chang'an Palace first." Xue'er is young and ignorant, if there is anything offended, please ask Brother Wen Ying and Miss Jian for forgiveness. After speaking, he helped Luoxue to leave the table first.

After walking a few steps, Luoxue turned her head to look at Jian Huaizhen who was dressed in white and had black temples and jade faces, and the hatred in her eyes became a little more intense. But he finally stomped his feet, leaned on Jiang Shaoheng, and walked away with his help.

The unusual color of the falling snow fell on the eyes of everyone at the feast. Jian Wenying was a little puzzled and snorted: "This princess is really moody. At first, I was intimate with you as a sister, but for a while, it seemed like you were an enemy. ”

A chuckle appeared on Jian Huaizhen's lips, and he said slowly: "Princess Luoxue annoys me because she accidentally drank the wine she prepared for me by mistake. ”

Jian Wenying was still indignant, and said loudly: "Isn't it just a glass of wine?" What's the matter? What's more, she drank your wine! ”

"She poured laxatives into my wine. When we were pouring the wine, we accidentally changed the glasses. Jian Huaizhen's eyebrows moved slightly, and he smiled.

The imperial grandson couldn't help laughing, leaning back and forth with a smile, and said loudly: "My imperial aunt is the most domineering on weekdays. I'm willing to pay the two of you a little bit today, and I'm still thinking about her changing sex. But I didn't expect to be tricked by others, but I was tricked. No wonder when the young master left, he stopped talking! ”

After saying that, he pondered for a while, and then exclaimed: "Miss Jian is so delicate and fast!" ”

Jian Huaizhen shook his head, a gentle smile bloomed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "When I was young, my health was not very good, and I was sent to Fengping Ju for medical treatment. On weekdays, when I had nothing to do, I learned some tricks with Granny Chu and Aunt Long. ”

"My sister's plum blossom ......" Jian Wenying was quite proud when she heard the imperial grandson praising her sister, and shouted first.

Jian Huaizhen's eyes were as calm as the bright moon and clear frost, and he said quietly: "I also learned a little bit of the art of medicine and stone, but I was young at the time, and I only learned some fur. Jian Wenying remembered her sister's advice that she couldn't talk about plum blossom needles and light work with others, so she was busy and silent.

"Fengpingju? Aunt Long? But is the Ming female doctor Xianlong Yuping? The imperial grandson sighed and praised: "No wonder Miss Jian can even tell what medicine the imperial aunt has given." Which is Granny Chu? ”

"Chu Liuyan." Jian Wenying has always been full of reverence for Chu Liuyan, so she preemptively said.

The emperor's grandson's eyes were blazing, and he said in surprise: "It turned out to be Chu Liuyan, the first strange woman in the Ming Dynasty!" No wonder Miss Jian is so desperate that she has been taught by two strange people in a row, and Xiao Wang is clumsy. ”

Jian Huaizhen was slightly silent, staring at the trees full of brocade flowers, and said in a rambling voice: "In this case, what I said, can His Royal Highness Taisun be trusted?" ”

"Tell me about it." Seeing her solemn expression, the imperial grandson was filled with heavy frost in her eyes, so he hesitated a little, "This king can be trusted." He finally said.

Jian Huaizhen let out a "hmm" and said slowly: "In my opinion, these three red amazing flower trees in His Highness's garden are not the 'drunken red' that Gonggong Lin told you, they are blood mandala flowers, also known as Manzhu Shahua. This kind of flower only grows in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, and it is said that it is now in Anzhou a few days ago. The Blood Mandala is an evil flower that condenses the resentment of heaven and earth, and must be cultivated with the blood of a baby. The flower is strangely poisonous, and the more red and bright the color, the more toxic it is. If you accidentally swallow a flower, you will surely die. If ordinary people face flowers and trees every day, within three months, they will vomit blood and die. ”

The color of the flower is still a flaming red, like a beautiful woman's red lips, blooming vigorously, and the beauty is earth-shattering.

The imperial grandson's eyes were also a little more frightened, and he involuntarily took a few steps back and asked, "What you said is all the truth?" ”
