Three hundred and fifty-one reunion
The table has been set up. Bayi Chinese .ā ā ā 8ā1 zā .ćC o M
This dinner was a long time later than usual, and it was more appropriate to say that it was a late-night supper.
The dining room is very clever, the original table has long been abandoned, no matter how many materials and effort it took to prepare, since the master doesn't eat it now, then these are useless, and you can't let the master eat the stale ones that have been in the pot, right?
So the table is all new.
Usually the emperor eats in Yong'an Palace, and there is often a table full of people, in addition to the emperor and the concubine, there are also the eldest prince and the second prince and Princess Yuyao. The emperor's taste is almost the same as that of the concubine, the eldest prince eats light, but the light is not a vegetarian soup with little water, and the people in the dining room have hollowed out their minds, not only to make nourishment, but also to eat without feeling greasy and fishy. Princess Yuyao loves sweet and sour, and the second prince is a little doll with no baby teeth, and she also needs to prepare separately.
However, it is much simpler to only worship the emperor and the concubine at this time. The concubine has given birth to three princes before the moon, and the soup is indispensable. Speaking of which, when the people in the dining room mention the concubine, they always have to praise the concubine Niangniang for being kind and considerate. There are many concubines in the palace, and the grace of the concubine is unique. If someone else is in her position, she has already shaken her majesty. But the noble concubine Niangniang wants a snack and a dish, and never tosses people and doesn't practice things, but it's not like the Shoukang Palace before, what kind of sparrow soup to eat, braised fruit and the like, as if you don't toss people can't show their identity.
Actually, who doesn't know? The concubine came out of a well-established official family, but the concubine was a merchant girl, and she didn't know how to be good when she sealed the concubine, and she was crazy about getting rich.
At present, only the emperor and the concubine have dinner, but after the dining table was set, Xie Ning ordered three pairs of dishes and chopsticks to be placed.
Qinghe thought it was for Princess Yuyao at first, although the princess had used it, but the little girl's family was inevitably greedy, and it was unknown if she wanted to eat two more bites of dim sum.
But after the emperor and Fang Shanggong came back from fighting Shoukang Palace, Princess Yuyao said a few words and left, but Fang Shanggong stayed in the house.
Qinghe stood by the door and served, and there were no eunuchs in the house, and there were no other people waiting.
She saw Xie Ning supporting Fang Shanggong and asked her to sit down.
Qinghe's heartbeat and breathing stopped for a moment.
It's not like she hasn't eaten at the same table with her master. I had it when I was in the Lingering Pavilion, not once. After Fang Shanggong came, they also used to sit at a table, and the master was not a noble concubine at that time......
But now it's different.
The master is no longer a little talent who can laugh and laugh with them at that time.
What's more, the emperor is also there!
Fang Shanggong's identity, even if the master respects her no matter how much she respects, it is impossible for her to dine at the same table with the emperor.
So why is that?
The master actually helped Fang Shanggong to sit down?
And Fang Shanggong actually sat down?
Is she dazzled? Or is it a pipe dream?
Qinghe clenched his fists tightly and bit his lip at some point. Otherwise, she was afraid that she would make some uncontrollable noise, which would alarm the three people in the room.
What's going on?
Qinghe's heart was beating at this time, and speaking of it, it was quite similar to Bai Hongqi's father-in-law's mood not long ago.
Qinghe is naturally not dazzled, nor is he daydreaming.
Xie Ning helped Fang Shanggong and said softly: "It's all this hour, and I don't expect to sit down and have a good meal, just pad my stomach, and there will be more things tomorrow." ā
Shainin was right.
When Concubine Jin goes, she will have to be busy for more than half a month to take care of the aftermath. The deceased is gone, and the more important thing is to arrange to take care of Princess Yuju.
Fang Shanggong looked at the three pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, and then looked at the three chairs placed next to the dining table.
It seems that not only did the emperor guess it, but even the concubine guessed the inside story.
The emperor watched from the side, Fang Shanggong held the corner of the table and sat down tremblingly.
And the emperor sat on her left hand, Xie Ning sat on her right hand, Fang Shanggong looked left and right, and then he realized that he was actually sitting in the center.
At the same table as the emperor, there can only be two kinds of people sitting on the throne.
One is the first emperor and the queen mother.
One is that the two old ladies who had taught the emperor were invited to the throne by the emperor at the palace banquet, but the two old ladies insisted on resigning, and in the end the seat of the host was empty. This matter has been rumored to be a beautiful talk, but whenever it is mentioned, everyone must praise the emperor for respecting the teacher.
In normal times, she can't do it if this position kills.
But today, Fang Shanggong didn't have the mental strength to think too much.
The emperor's sudden questioning, the mother and son have not been able to recognize each other for many years...... Also, the death of Concubine Jin.
Fang Shanggong watched Concubine Jin swallow her last breath.
At that time, she suddenly remembered that she had also lingered on the sickbed many times, and was tortured to death by illness.
If she had relaxed a little at that time and stopped struggling to survive, she might have been without her in this world for a long time.
As soon as she was so distracted, she only heard half of Xie Ning's words: "...... Ordered the dining room to make a delivery. ā
Fang Shanggong came back to his senses and realized that Xie Ning was talking about the bowl of soup placed in the middle of the dining table.
"What is this?"
"This is reunion soup." Xie Ning said softly: "I used to eat it when I was outside the palace. In the past, when my uncle was in office, people there loved to eat this soup on big days such as the New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival, and every family had to boil a pot regardless of whether they were rich or poor. ā
Fang Shanggong thought at first that it was the reunion soup that was stewed with fish and mutton, but when he looked closely, it was not.
This soup is not the same thing as the reunion soup full of wealth, if you want to describe it, it is more appropriate to say that it is a porridge.
Lotus seeds, red dates, and red beans are easy to identify, and there are other ingredients in the soup, and the soup looks very similar to the Laba porridge eaten during Laba.
The emperor personally served a bowl of soup and served it to Fang Shanggong first.
Take it and smell it, the sweet and glutinous fragrance is also like laba porridge.
However, the customs vary from place to place, and probably in places where people don't often hear of it, this porridge soup has another name called reunion soup.
There was a bowl in front of the three of them, and Fang Shanggong scooped a spoonful and tasted it.
The taste of the bean paste is very strong, sweet and thick, and it is hot in the mouth, and when you swallow it, it seems that the whole person is warm up all of a sudden.
Fang Shanggong finished eating this bowl of reunion soup, and also figured out why Xie Ning would order the dining room to make such a strange soup.
Reunion soup, when the whole family is reunited, every family has to eat, in accordance with the festival and the occasion.
She glanced at the emperor.
The soup bowl in front of the emperor is also about to bottom out. He ate slowly and carefully, as if every bite had to be savored.
Reunion soup should taste like this.
Sweet and silky, warm, the whole body is ironed comfortably after eating, and the heart is also stable, and the depression and coldness accumulated in the body before seem to be dispelled by this bowl of soup.
