No. 190, Fangshan Lingquan 1/
Li Rongyu looked at her with some suspicion, Feng Miao leaned into Li Rongyu's ear, and whispered, "You just need to tell Feng Qing that the emperor likes to eat golden jade and locust leaves."
These are two dishes that take a lot of effort, and the one is the fatty and neat slices of sea bass, served with garlic, ginger, salt, white plum, orange peel, cooked chestnut meat and japonica rice. The cold peach of locust leaves is to pound the juice and flour with the young leaves of the green locust tree, wash it repeatedly with cold water after cooking, and then mix in hot oil and seasoning when eating.
The two-course recipe is not complicated, but to really do it well, it is the most test of the chef's skills. The golden jade should be able to cut the fish meat thin but not broken, and the key to the delicious cold washing of acacia leaves lies in the step of washing in cold water.
Li Rongyu stared at Feng Miao, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled, "Yes, if she wants to capture the emperor's heart, she will definitely refuse to let go of this good opportunity in Lingquan Palace." The imperial chef accompanying her in the palace has to prepare dishes for banquets every day, and she can't care about preparing such delicate and laborious dishes alone, she knows how to do these two dishes, but she can't do it well, so she has to take you there. ”
Early the next morning, the Changli Wangfu really sent someone to invite a few sisters-in-law from Qingyan Temple to recite scriptures in the house. Feng Miao mixed in with these sisters-in-law and was taken to the Changli Palace. Before leaving, she also specially asked Mrs. Li to help take care of honeysuckle. In the entire Qingyan Temple, only the Nanshan House where Mrs. Li lived, no one dared to disturb easily, because whether it was a sister-in-law or a young girl from the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou, it was inevitable that she would occasionally get sick and take medicine.
Mrs. Li didn't say much, she only took out a few perilla leaves from the medicine basket, put them into the small sachet she carried with her, and tied them to Feng Miao's waist, "Perilla leaves can calm cough and asthma, in case you have a seizure on the road, take one out and chew it slowly, but it can only be relieved, not cured." "The sachet was not quite the same as the one worn by ordinary women, it was not sewn from cloth, but two concentric knots made of a whole silk thread, which were fastened together from both sides to form a sachet.
As soon as they entered the Changli Palace, several other sisters-in-law were taken away, and someone led Feng Miao to change her clothes and wait in a carriage. It was almost noon, and the chariot of the Changli Palace's chariot set off towards Fangshan, and the carriage that Feng Miao was riding followed very inconspicuously at the end. When it was time to rest, food and water were brought to her, but she was not allowed to get out of the car and walk around.
After walking for four or five days, the car drove to the Lingquan Palace. Feng Xi, the king of Changli, was ordered by the emperor to inspect the arrangements in the palace, prepare to welcome the holy car, and appease the leaders and envoys of the various tribes who arrived early, and he was busy every day. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor's Imperial Driver walked even more slowly, leaving three days later than King Changli, but arriving six days late.
During these six days, Feng Miao was arranged in an inconspicuous small room, separated from the other accompanying maidservants. There is a small kitchen at the back of the room, where fresh sea bass, locust leaves and flour are brought every day for her to practice. No one deliberately restricted her whereabouts, because the Lingquan Palace was heavily guarded by heavy troops, and it was impossible for her to escape no matter what. But Feng Miao didn't go out, just waited quietly in the small room.
On the second day of the arrival of the royal car, Feng Qing sent a little palace maid who was born in the face and asked Feng Miao to make a plate of acacia leaves for the emperor to cool off. At this time, the autumn tiger is poisonous, and it is most appropriate to eat a little cool food such as locust leaves at dinner. Feng Miao did it very carefully, and the washed noodles were round and green, like silk twisted from fine jade, and even the little palace maid was full of praise when she saw it.
It was only two days after arriving at the palace, and Tuoba Hong wanted to summon Feng Qing. Even if he had been prepared, even if he knew in his heart that he should appease the Feng family at this time, Feng Miao still felt slightly sour in his heart. She deliberately added green garlic sprouts and sour vinaigrette when seasoning, as if she wanted Tuoba Hong to taste a little sour and astringent.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the palace maid brought a message, saying that the locust leaves with vinegar sauce tasted very good, and the emperor liked it very much. Feng Miao was a little annoyed, thinking that he had eaten what he had spent two hours making by himself, and he felt that he could add a few drops of honey next time. The best dishes don't require expensive and delicate ingredients, they just need to be made by the person who makes them.
The envoys from all the northern regions arrived one after another, and the Lingquan Palace continued to drink and feast almost every day, and Feng Qing never asked her to do anything again. Feng Miao was idle, and she would try to talk to the little palace maid who brought the meal and ask her about the situation outside. Once I heard that my younger brother Feng Shu was reprimanded by King Changli, because he found a half-opened hibiscus flower tattooed on his left shoulder, and punished him for thinking about it. Feng Miao was worried, but also felt strange, Ah Niang also had a hibiscus tattoo on her body, how could her father seem to be completely unaware.
Coincidentally, in the evening of this day, King Changli took the three sons from the eldest princess of Boling to greet the empress dowager and passed in front of Feng Miao's residence. With doubts in her heart, she deliberately paid attention to the faces of several of them. Feng Yu is a little like the eldest princess of Boling, but Feng Dan and Feng Xiu are very similar to King Changli, both are beautiful men with fair faces and narrow phoenix eyes.
Feng Miao looked at the bronze mirror, and remembered the appearance of his brother, the two of them really didn't look like King Changli at all. She is more like A-Niang, but her brother-in-law is not very similar to A-Niang. These things, only when you find A-Niang, can you ask clearly.
Among the various tribes in the Northland, the Rouran people came the latest, but it was the Rouran Khan Yu Jiulu Yucheng who came in person. Among the tribes of the Northlands, Rouran was the strongest, often driving horses and camels to other people's pastures to graze, and plundering other tribes when they were not harvested. At this time, when they met in the Lingquan Palace, the atmosphere between the various departments was a little strange.
When the banquet was held in the Taiji Pavilion, Yu Jiulu Yucheng raised a glass to the leader of the high car, Ah Fu Zhiluo, but Ah Yi, who was accompanying Ah Fu Zhiluo, stuck out his tongue and grimaced at him. The dignified khan naturally didn't bother with a little girl, but when he put down the wine glass, the glass still made a heavy bang on the table. The younger sister was rude to herself, but Ah Fu Zhiluo did not scold and stop her, obviously Gao Che had found a new attachment and was no longer afraid of the power of the Rouran people.
Yu Jiu Lu's Yucheng looked coldly at the Empress Dowager who was sitting on a high seat, and she was ordering the palace maid to send the dishes in front of her to the emperor's gold-painted dragon pattern plate. On the night of their meeting at the Changli Palace, the woman had promised him the most honorable title in the Northland, and that a large expanse of wide and fertile grassland would be assigned to Rouran, on the condition that he should wait for the opportunity to assassinate the young emperor in the Lingquan Palace.
Before taking the seat, the Empress Dowager sent someone to inform him privately that there would be a fast horse to transport official documents from Pingcheng tonight. When the emperor deals with official affairs, he has always liked to be quiet, and he will definitely go to the study room of Yixu Pavilion in the east of Lingquan Palace to read official documents, and only after handling official affairs will he return to Hongmeng Pavilion to rest. There's a winding and secluded trail shaded by trees, and it's a great opportunity to get your hands dirty.
But Yu Jiulu's Yucheng is still a little hesitant, even if Dawei carves out a grassland, if he doesn't have the strength to firmly occupy it, sooner or later it will still become someone else's meal. On the way here, he had already seen the soldiers of Great Wei, all with sharp blades and bright eyes, and their eyes were as bright as tigers and leopards. If you rashly make a move and fail to take the emperor's life, I am afraid that the whole Rouran will be buried.
As he thought so, a gaze seemed to fall on his face. Yu Jiulu Yucheng hurriedly gathered his mind, and when he saw Tuoba Hong holding a wine glass and looking at it with a smile, he could only raise his wine glass to respond, thinking hatefully in his heart, this little emperor who can't see through the depths must not be a good match.
After a few glasses of wine, Yu Jiulu Yucheng excused himself to leave the table, his steps were vain and shaky, as if he was a little overwhelmed. As soon as he turned out of the path in front of the Taiji Pavilion, he put away his pretended drunkenness, summoned the attendants accompanying him, and whispered a few words in a low voice. Since her old man was so sincere and willing to set aside a large area of pasture for grazing, he simply told the news to Gao Che and the Tuyuhun chieftain, and agreed with them to do things together.
The attendant responded, and Yu Jiulu Yucheng curled half of the corners of his mouth and sneered, when it was the appointed time, he would not send his own people. If the matter is revealed, it has nothing to do with Rouran, if it happens...... Whoever can occupy that pasture still has to speak by strength.
The music of song and dance is intoxicating, but the people at the table have no intention of appreciating it. After an attendant came in and whispered, the leader of the high car and the leader of Tuyuhun also left with drunkenness. These subtle movements all fell into Tuoba Hong's eyes at all. The wind in the north was cold, and the boys had not yet learned to walk and talk, so they had learned to drink first. Isn't it strange that these three leaders were drunk together?
After the banquet was over, Tuoba Hong only brought a close attendant to the Yixu Pavilion. The mountain-like recital had just been delivered from the Pingcheng Express Horse, and he was already familiar with how to be an emperor, and the proportions in his hands were nothing more than rewards and punishments. He dipped his pen in cinnabar, made simple annotations on each copy, and then asked the inner supervisor to take it to the accompanying Chinese officials to dispose of.
It was still early, he put out the chessboard pieces, holding black in one hand and white in the other, and played against himself. As soon as he put a corner, Feng Dan hurriedly entered the door, made a hasty salute and said, "Today, the leaders of Rouran and Gaoche are very ......weird," halfway through the words, seeing Tuoba Hong drop a sunspot with his right hand unhurriedly, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that the emperor has already known." ”
"Ideology and politics, do you know what is the fun of playing chess with yourself?" Tuoba Hong didn't answer him, but pointed to the chessboard and asked.
Feng Dan shook his head, he had seen Tuoba Hong play against him several times, just as he was bored to pass the time.
"The fun is to be able to stand on the other side, look at yourself like a stranger, and guess where you're going to land next." Tuoba Hong picked up a white piece in his left hand and landed on a point on the chessboard, and a white piece made a large number of sunspots lose their armor, "Now I and the leader of the Northlands, just like they are laying out the pieces on the chessboard, I am guessing their movements, and they are also guessing, not only guessing me, but also guessing the allies around them. ”
He pointed to a letter on the table: "Find a naturally clumsy little servant, take this letter and five hundred taels of gold, and go around the place where the Rouran Khan lives." In this game, I have to take the initiative! He switched back to his right hand and dropped another sunspot, and as this one fell, the chessboard changed again.
