Chapter Seventy-Two: The concubines add vegetables and hide mysteries

In June, in the imperial garden, the palace ladies are arranging.

This banquet was hosted by Ming Rong.

In fact, it is also interesting to say, the queen and Ming Rong had a few arguments about who would hold the banquet.

"Sister Queen is here, how can I get past it?" Ming Rong said seriously.

"You brought it up, and you can't just give up halfway." The queen doesn't care, she is troublesome.

"Anyang is looking for me all day long, I'm afraid I'm not available."

"I see that Anyang likes me very much, and it's not bad for me to play with her."

"Let's guess the box!" Ming Rong gritted her teeth and looked at the queen, obviously she came to see the play today, and she said it well, but now she has to take care of it again.

"Oops, such a small thing......"

"Hurry up!" Ming Rong put away her smile and looked at the queen very seriously.

The queen stretched out her hand helplessly.

Guess the boxing, the final winner is naturally the queen.

The queen patted Ming Rong on the shoulder with a smile: "I'll help you watch Anyang that day." My sister can do it with peace of mind. ”

Ming Rong sighed helplessly, and had to accept her fate.

Yesterday, it was announced that Emperor Yongchang might come, which attracted many concubines to appear exquisitely.

It's rare to see the play, if it's not exciting enough, it won't be a waste.

The protagonists haven't arrived yet, and there are already a lot of concubines in the garden, but they look up and see some low positions, but there is one exception.

"Say hello to Concubine Chen."

The concubines who passed by, the palace maids saluted Concubine Chen who walked to the seat, and I don't know why Concubine Chen came so early.

On weekdays, he is the master of the finale, how can it be so special today?

"Niangniang, Concubine Chen has arrived."

Ming Rong was listening to the mothers' report in the Yishui Pavilion on the side, but she didn't want to hear such a sentence.

"Oh, Concubine Chen?" Ming Rong was really a little surprised.

"It's Concubine Chen."

"You let people stare at it from afar, don't let Concubine Chen find out, and don't let her ruin the banquet."

This irregular factor made Ming Rong smile, I'm afraid there is a good show to watch today.

At this time, the people of the first palace hurriedly ran over: "Guifei Niangniang, Concubine Chen's Niangniang just ordered someone to send a basket of hairy crabs to the imperial dining room, indicating that I will see you in a while." ”

Ming Rong looked up at the direction of the Imperial Garden, and was a little puzzled and relaxed: "Let the Imperial Dining Room do it well." ”

This hairy crab is cold, don't you want to test something?

It's boring if you don't add some color.

"Zhiyi, you go and ask those people, if there is anything else you want to add to the banquet, just say that Concubine Chen has added a hairy crab." Ming Rong put down the note in her hand, "Concubine Shu, if you go last, just say what those people have added, and ask Concubine Shu what she wants to return." ”

Knowing the order, he first came to the queen, and when the ceremony was over, the queen suddenly laughed wildly: "Sister Ming is too bad, but it's also interesting." ”

The queen looked around, and suddenly looked at the teacup in her hand: "This time I changed the fruit wine, replaced it with ...... What's the name of the one that's stronger than the fruit wine? ”

"Qiongyu Brew." Pingxi reminded gently.

"Yes, as far as Qiongyu brewing, it's rare to have a good banquet, so it has to be festive."

Hairy crab, Qiongyu stuffed ...... It's all cool and good.

"I don't know if Concubine De has thought about it?"

Zhiyi looked at Concubine De, who was playing with the jade bracelet, and asked again.

"Niangniang is more refreshing, and the slave maid is also on an errand, this speed is faster, when Niangniang gets there in a while, she will be able to look at things, isn't it beautiful?"

"There is some truth to that." Concubine De finally said the second sentence after the sentence "let me think".

"I've always liked a sweet tooth, almond syrup, so that's it."

Zhiyi bowed his head and responded respectfully.

This almond juice seems to be no problem, and it is indeed a dessert that many concubines like.

However, if you eat too many almonds, it will not be so kind to the pregnant person.

Although it is rumored that everyone has misunderstood that Concubine Shu is pregnant, but looking at these practices, I am afraid that they will not believe it so easily.

I don't know what the virtuous concubine who has always been indisputable will order?

"Since the concubine said it, if I don't order one, I'm a little embarrassed."

Concubine Xian's tone was still soft, and her words made people feel comfortable.

"I'll add soup, then longan red date lotus seed soup, you can also eliminate food after eating, not bad."

Concubine Xian thought and continued: "These are all good signs, and I hope there are good signs. ”

"The mother is thoughtful, and the slave admires it."

There is nothing wrong with this soup, it is good-intentioned, it is a good recipe, and it is also good for people, and you can know who ordered this soup at a glance.

Now only Concubine Ning remains.

What answer will this woman, who entered the palace in a high position but has never had a sense of existence, give?

"Oh? Have you ordered them all? ”

Concubine Ning looked at Zhiyi with interest: "Can you tell me what they ordered?" ”

Zhiyi smiled, and it was not something that could not be said: "The queen mother added Qiongyu brew, Concubine De added almond dew, Concubine Xian added longan red date lotus seed soup, and Concubine Chen added hairy crabs." ”

After saying this, Zhiyi looked at Concubine Ning's eyes and lit up: "Interesting and interesting." ”

"I don't know what Concubine Ning wants to add?"

"Let me think about how I can catch up with a few sisters."

Concubine Ning took out a book from the side and flipped through a few pages.

He tapped with his fingertips: "That's it." ”

"What do you mean?"

Concubine Ning handed over the book: "No, persimmon cake." ”

"Niangniang is really knowledgeable, and even has recipes." Zhiyi was a little helpless, who would have thought that Concubine Ning would be such a beauty, and the book at hand turned out to be a recipe!

"Isn't this a way to pass the time, it has to be fun."

Zhiyi secretly remembered that when I went back, I must have a good talk with the concubine.

"Alright, there you go." Concubine Ning opened her mouth to urge Zhiyi to leave, in fact, she was more looking forward to the story after that.

It's finally the last place, and Zhiyi breathes a sigh of relief.

"Concubine Niangniang, the concubine asked the slave maid to come and ask when Niangniang will arrive?"

Zhiyi didn't ask Concubine Shu what she wanted to add, just now Ming Rong sent someone to tell her, first stabilize and don't say anything, I was afraid that the things added by these people are not exciting enough, but now it seems that there is no need to add fuel to the fire.

"What? When are you going to talk to her? ”

"It's not that the concubine cares about you, I'm afraid that you won't be greeted in time when you arrive."

"Oh?"

"Several other ladies have also added a few things to the banquet for you. The mother will definitely like it when she sees it. ”

"Alright, I'll go over in a while, and go back to the errand."

Zhiyi returned to Yishui Pavilion with a smile, and sure enough, he saw Ming Rong laughing.

"Niangniang, hurry up, the banquet is about to start, and I still need you to go over and preside over the overall situation."

Ming Rong exhaled and took a few sips of water to slow down.

"I really didn't expect that one by one with bad stomachs, they pretend to be very good on weekdays, and they stumble very quickly."

I don't know how much of a surprise there will be with these "gifts".
