Chapter 162: Xiang Guifei was poisoned
Feng Huali didn't care about this, and she didn't think about it so much, after all, painting Yueqiong was different from ordinary people, and it was not a big deal to learn by herself: "It's okay, it's just that I just want to ask the princess for such a trivial matter." ”
Xiang Guifei knew that she was always different from ordinary people, and she didn't want to stop it, but she happened to be a little hungry, so Xiang Guifei mentioned: "You two happen to be empty today, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day?" ”
"Okay, good, good-" Huayueqiong was very happy, the master was not as good as herself, the master had never been so close to herself, and now she could take this opportunity to stay with the master for a while.
After saying goodbye to Concubine Xiang, the two went to the dining room. There are many cooks and subordinates in the dining room, in order to prevent them from coming forward to help, Feng Huali deliberately said in advance that the dining room will be handed over to the two of them today.
Painting Yueqiong was concentrating on cooking, and Feng Huali didn't bother her, just silently watching and learning the main points on the side.
This painting Yueqiong's cooking skills are really like that, whether it is cutting vegetables, feeding and stir-frying, they are all done in one go, the action is like a cloud of flowing water, and the rough work of cooking is done by painting Yueqiong but has a bit of beauty.
The combination of the cut colored silk alone is already very rich, and when it is put into the pot and from the lid, the rich aroma is revealed in the gap in a short time, making this dish that has not yet been baked very attractive.
Feng Huali never thought that the eldest princess actually had such a side. Cooking has always been Feng Huali's blind spot, she has never learned it at all, and she has no interest in deliberately learning it.
Originally, Feng Huali didn't have any special interest in cooking, but when he saw the appearance of painting Yueqiong today, there was a faint desire to master this cooking skill in his heart.
After a while, I saw Hua Yueqiong's small hand open the lid of the pot, and the aroma immediately filled the kitchen. Even the cooks on the side whispered praise, painting Yueqiong's cooking skills are superb, but they rarely do it, and now they are very blessed to see each other.
"Master, try it." Hua Yue'er sent someone to put the dishes into a white ceramic plate, and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and hand them to Feng Huali.
Feng Huali picked up a wisp and sent it to his mouth, fragrant but not greasy, the grasp of the taste was just right, and it was not much different from the palace food that Feng Huali ate. Feng Huali praised: "It's really good, I envy the princess's cooking skills." ”
"Thanks to the master's love, it's just that." Although Hua Yue'er was polite on her lips, she was already happy in her heart, and even Feng Huali praised herself so much, it must be really good.
"If you're average, wouldn't my cooking skills be unsightly?" Feng Huali stretched out his finger and flicked Huayueqiong's forehead, and both of them laughed.
Unlike other cardamom girls, in this deep palace, there are not many people who can really associate with Huayueqiong, and they are not interested in the things that little women like such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
If you are really bored, you will go to dance alone, or cook for the royal brother, the imperial brother will always smile after eating her food, and he will not be so sad and cold.
After laughing for a while, Feng Huali got down to business and seriously asked her to teach her how to cook. Painting Yueqiong only thought that Feng Jueyan was talking about playing, but then she knew that Feng Huali really wanted to learn to cook.
Drawing Yueqiong naturally didn't dare to slack off, and started teaching from cutting vegetables one by one. Because of her perennial dancing knives and guns, her level and skill in cutting vegetables are not weak. And Feng Hua is even more profound, and under the eyes, the good knife skills in one hand make Hua Yueqiong quite admired.
Then there was the heat, Feng Huali watched the fire of painting Yueqiong while learning. Painting Yueqiong is stir-fried, and Fenghua is away from the fire; Draw Yueqiong and cook small, Fenghua is away from the slow fire. As soon as the heat of painting Yueqiong changed, Feng Huali also changed, and at the same time, he also paid attention to the timing of the change.
Then, everything that was taught by Painting Yueqiong, Feng Huali would inevitably learn them one by one, and the score was exactly the same. Maybe it's because of his superb talent, Feng Hua is so easy to learn, and people say that painting Yueqiong is like a fish in water, and it's a pity that he didn't enter this dining room early.
In the next few days, Feng Huali was diagnosing the Queen Mother, which can be said to be exhausted, but fortunately, in the afternoon, he was able to consult with Hua Yueqiong about cooking skills, and he was able to relax a lot while cooking.
Seven days later, the Queen Mother's illness got better and better, and the injection only needed to be given once every three days, and Feng Huali could finally be empty, but on this day, Concubine Xiang summoned Feng Hua to leave her palace again.
"I wonder what the mother is looking for me?" Feng Hua bowed to Xiang Guifei, and Xiang Guifei was still standing next to Hua Yueqiong, who looked at herself excitedly. Is there something going on, Feng Hua was a little puzzled.
"I heard from the eldest princess that you have made amazing progress in cooking, and today I want you masters and apprentices to compete on the same stage, so that I can taste who makes it better." Xiang Guifei smiled, Feng Huali always gave her a lot of surprises, when she first saw it, she thought that this woman was extraordinary, but now when she looks at it, it is really so.
"Niangniang is hungry?" Feng Jueyan chuckled.
With such an opportunity, Hua Yueqiong naturally didn't want to give up, and Feng Huali didn't want to distract them, so she agreed.
The two immediately went to the dining room, it was already afternoon, and there were only two or three maidservants in the dining room, and they had already gotten the intention of Xiang Guifei, and kept the dining room clean, with a lot of all kinds of ingredients.
Feng Huali flipped through the basket of ingredients, and didn't want to make it complicated, so he picked some green peppers and meat, and decided to make a dish of green tip meat.
Thinking about it, Feng Huali began to do it, but as soon as he cut the meat, when he turned around, he found that the green peppers in the wooden basket were gone, and Feng Huali sent someone to take a new green pepper.
Feng Huali made the dish seriously, and served it to Xiang Guifei together with the white jade mushroom soup made by Hua Yueqiong. After tasting it again and again, Xiang Guifei kept saying that Feng Huali was really talented, and it was already very good to be able to make such rapid progress in such a short period of time.
The two of them have their own ups and downs, and Xiang Guifei does not judge who can be better, so it can be regarded as a tie between the two.
But who would have thought that not long after Feng Huali and Hua Yueqiong left, Xiang Guifei suddenly vomited blood and was sick in bed. Through the pulse of the imperial doctor, he actually found that Xiang Guifei's illness was not due to other reasons, but to be highly poisoned.
Xiang Guifei is the only concubine in this palace, and her grace is on par with Concubine Liang, so the emperor is naturally furious, and issued a holy decree to severely punish those who poison people.
And this "poisoned person" almost didn't notice much, and it arrived at Feng Huali's head. There was no other reason, the imperial doctor went to test the poison in Xiang Guifei's meal with a silver needle on the spot, and it was Feng Huali's "green tip meat" that was found to be poisonous.
At that time, Feng Huali and Huayue Qiong tried their cooking skills, but many people saw it, so they basically decided that Feng Huali was the one who poisoned him.
The officers and soldiers even took Feng Huali and prepared to detain her first. Fortunately, at this time, Xiang Guifei's maidservant stopped the officers and soldiers in time, saying that Xiang Guifei had some consciousness and kept claiming that Feng Huali was innocent.
Caihe said sharply: "Guifei Niangniang's order, why don't you let her go soon?" ”
"Yes." They also knew Xiang Guifei's personal maidservant, so they naturally didn't want to offend Xiang Guifei, so they let Feng Hua go.
Feng Hua was stunned, and Concubine Xiang was too unlucky, and she could be poisoned even if she tasted and drank food. Although there is no conclusive evidence, Feng Huali doesn't have to think that it was done by Concubine Liang, Concubine Xiang's old enemy.
Feng Huali asked, "Is Niangniang okay?" ”
Caihe nodded, but fortunately, the imperial doctor came in time, and he quickly diagnosed and cured Xiang Guifei: "It's just that Niangniang is worried about your safety." ”
Feng Huali sighed, this is really often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet. It's just that there are many crafts in this dish, from the selection of ingredients to the production, and then to the presentation to Xiang Guifei, so many things may be manipulated, how can you only doubt yourself.
"What about the ingredients?" Feng Huali asked, maybe someone had poisoned the ingredients, but he couldn't say.
Caihe expected that Feng Huali would ask this, and she seemed a little embarrassed: "The selection of ingredients is ultimately through my hands, and there will never be a problem." ”
Caihe paused, and then said, "I have been watching the food when it is presented to Niangniang, and there will be no chance of poisoning." ”
I see, so that the only suspicious thing left is my own step. Feng Huali lowered his head and pondered, Caihe's person is a believer, no matter how much Concubine Liang buys it, it is impossible to buy Caihe.
All the ingredients in the palace of Xiang Guifei have been inspected by Caihe, if there is anything wrong......
Feng Huali suddenly remembered something and asked, "If the ingredients in the dining room are gone, where can I get new ones?" ”
"A few miles away from the dining room." Caihe remembers very clearly that these are all under his own jurisdiction.
"I know what's going on." Feng Huali chuckled, he couldn't find the green peppers that day, so he sent someone to get them, but the man only took a basket of fresh green peppers in the blink of an eye.
Nowadays, the dining room is several miles away from the place where the ingredients are taken, and it is impossible to get them in such a short time. Unless the servant girl saw that she had chosen green peppers, she stole her own green peppers, poisoned them, and then gave them to herself.
Feng Huali said coldly: "Find me all the slaves and maids who were in the dining room that day." ”
Harem, in the courtyard of the concubine.
"Niangniang is really ice and snow smart, how can the Xiang concubine be compared, even if she is as smart as a phoenix, she will bow down to Niangniang's scheme. The slave is really admired by the five-body cast. "The person who spoke was the maidservant who poisoned the phoenix's dish, Cai Yue.
"Caiyue, can you take care of this?" Concubine Liang's face was gloomy, like a frost beauty who hadn't smiled for a long time.
"Rest assured, the slave maid has bought off the consul there, and she doesn't dare to betray the slave maid."
"Let's see how you turn over this time!" Concubine Liang has always hated painting Yueqiong, but as the eldest princess, she can't do it herself, but recently I heard that Huayueqiong worshipped Feng Hua as a teacher.
Concubine Liang had heard of this Feng Huali before, that is, she ruined her own good deeds and saved Concubine Xiang. Now that the new hatred is adding the old hatred, Concubine Liang will not make this Feng Huali feel good in this palace, she pinched the courtyard pillar in front of her with her hand, as if she wanted to vent her endless hatred on this pillar.
