Chapter 46: Entering the palace with Hongday
Witnessing Yongshu's competitive attitude, the corners of Hongday's lips hooked slightly, and he cleared his throat, "It's rare for Fujin to cook, if I don't go, wouldn't I live up to Fujin's good intentions?" Yun Rou is so considerate, I am very relieved! ”
In fact, Yun Rou was just pretending, she thought that the fifth master would not go to Ning Zhao Courtyard! At the moment, this situation was really beyond her expectations, Yun Rou was speechless, she could only laugh dryly, "This is the duty of the concubine." ”
The man who was walking with her went to Fujin's side in a blink of an eye, Yun Rou's heart was on fire, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
Yongshu never disdains competing with other women for Hongday, but if the other party is Yun Rou, then she is willing to try to grab it, as long as Yun Rou is not happy, then she will be happy!
Looking at their departing backs, Yun Rou was still blessed, and said against her will, "Congratulations to the fifth master, congratulations to Fujin." ”
Yongshu listened very useful, Yun Rou was extremely aggrieved, so angry that she grabbed a hibiscus flower on the side of the road and tore it angrily.
Su Zhi persuaded on the side: "Gege, don't worry, the fifth master hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything, which proves that he has you in his heart, in fact, he wants to accompany you, but because of Fujin's face, he reluctantly went over to accompany her." ”
If that's the case, then Yun Rou won't be so sad, "She has always liked to rely on the identity of Fujin to show off her might, it's okay once or twice, but if there are more times, the fifth master will be impatient, I want to see how long the fifth master can endure her!" ”
Yongshu didn't think about it so much, what she did today was nothing more than to be angry!
On the way back, Yongshu didn't say a word, Hongtian couldn't bear it, and finally opened his mouth first, "What have you been busy with lately?" ”
Yongshu didn't think much about it, and responded truthfully: "I'm not busy with anything!" Water the flowers, read the books, and relax. ”
"Since you're not busy, why didn't you go to the study to find me?"
Yongshu raised his eyes in surprise, "What are you looking for?" I don't have anything to do. ”
What do you want him to do? This question choked him speechless, and his heart became more and more angry, "You don't want me, don't you want to see me?" ”
What is visible? Yongshu didn't have this idea, "You just went to Ningzhao Courtyard the day before yesterday, and we just met." ”
She's so sincere! Hongyang sneered and sneered, "It seems that if I don't go to see you, you didn't want to come to see me." ”
Hearing that his tone was wrong, Yongshu realized that he might be angry!
What is there to be angry about such a trifle? He's deliberately finding fault with her, right? In case he used the topic to play again, Yongshu had an idea and began to make excuses.
"But I heard them say that there is nothing important that you can't go to the fifth master, so you can only wait for the fifth master to come over in the backyard."
"That's the rule for the concubine, you are Fujin, you don't have to abide by this rule."
"Really?" Yongshu pretended to be abrupt, "I thought I had to obey it too!" ”
Just this sentence was like a pour of water, instantly dissolving the flame in his heart, "Just because of this rule, you haven't been looking for me?" ”
He had already found an excuse for her, but Yongshu had to bother to explain, she pushed the boat down the river, and tapped her head, "Yes! ”
If it's just for this, then Hongyang has nothing to be angry about, "If you want to go in the future, you don't need to worry." ”
With a light "um", Yongshu asked him what he wanted to eat, she went to the small stove room to prepare, and Hongtian was happy to watch the play, "Aren't you already ready with the ingredients?" And ask me what I have done? ”
Yongshu, who was exposed, smiled awkwardly, "I prepared it, I'm afraid you don't like it, so naturally I have to ask you what you mean first." ”
"I see that you are not prepared at all, but you are just improvising, trying to make someone's prestige, so you use me as an excuse."
It seems that nothing can be hidden from his sharp eyes! But even if he guessed it, Yongshu couldn't admit it, and continued to find reasons to prevaricate,
"I just want to have a meal with you, if you don't want to come, you can go to Ning Fang Pavilion, anyway, it's not time to eat yet."
Hongtian didn't bother to toss anymore, "If I go to Ningfang Pavilion today, I'm afraid that you will scold me behind my back again." ”
Yongshu didn't admit this, "You often go to other people's places, is it possible that I still scold you every day?" I don't have that time to spare. ”
She didn't admit it, and Hongtian didn't pursue it, "If the ingredients are not prepared, don't make them, let the kitchen make them!" You just rest. ”
"That won't work!" The words came out, Yongshu didn't want to break his word, "I invited you, this dish must be made, otherwise I will become a fool." ”
It was windy today, not too hot, Yongshu was willing to cook, but she didn't let people prepare the dishes in advance, and it was a little late to buy them again, so she told her subordinates to go to the back kitchen to get some vegetables.
Because she didn't make enough preparations in advance, she decided not to do any tricks today, but only to cook a few home-cooked side dishes.
The two of them didn't need to prepare much, she only prepared four dishes.
When the lunch was served, Hongtian tasted them one by one, there were vinegared yams, fried three fresh, steamed fish, and the last one he couldn't see the name, so he tasted it lightly.
Except for eggs, he didn't taste any other ingredients, sweet and sour, like mustard, but not very similar.
"What kind of name is this?"
"This is a grandmother's dish, with kohlrabi, white radish, plum vegetables, cowpeas, sword beans, eggplant in the jar pickled, after pickling, you can add vegetables and stir-fry at will, such as Chaotian pepper, meat slices and the like, but I didn't fry the meat, only beat a few eggs, it is a vegetarian dish."
She replied so smoothly that she seemed to really understand, Hongtian was curious, "You have a lot of research on cooking, you know how to cook Hunan and Cantonese cuisine?" ”
She does know a little miscellaneous, "I like to read books on weekdays, and I want to try the recipes I am interested in when I see them, but I don't do it very authentically, so the fifth master will use some!" ”
The other concubines also cook from time to time, but they all like to serve him, always keep serving him, asking him how it tastes, whether he likes it or not, Yongshu never gives him vegetables, nor does he let him evaluate, let alone whether he eats more or less, only cares about eating his own, and does not greet him at all.
He likes this kind of casual feeling very much, others always politely make him feel that he is a guest, only in Yongshu, he feels at home.
This kind of warm and comfortable feeling is probably the reason why he often comes to Ningzhao Academy.
During the meal, Hongtian suddenly remembered something, "The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be a banquet in the palace at noon, and I will take you into the palace to participate in the banquet." ”
"I'm going to enter the palace again!" Recalling the situation of entering the palace last time, Yong Shuton felt a headache, "You need to walk to enter the palace, go back and forth, and your legs and feet hurt for three days, it's too sinful, can I not go?" ”
This is a great honor, and she doesn't want to? "You are my Fujin, only you can participate in such a palace banquet, and the concubines are not qualified."
At this moment, Yongshu really hopes that someone can enter the palace instead of her, "Can you call yourself sick?" ”
"You and I just got married, and you called yourself sick in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the first year, which is not in accordance with the rules."
Hongyang means that she has to go, Yongshu really has no excuse, so she can only reluctantly agree, secretly sighing that this ancient rule is really cumbersome!
On August 15, early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yongshu had to change his clothes and makeup, change into auspicious clothes, and enter the palace to participate in the banquet.
Because the evening is the emperor's family banquet, the clan banquet is set at noon, and there are countless clan relatives who enter the palace to participate in the banquet today.
Yongshu silently remembered the characteristics of each person, and was afraid that he would forget the identity of the other party when he met again next time, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
At this moment, a young couple walked here, the man was dressed in a snow-green robe, his appearance was resolute, and he exuded a noble atmosphere, and Hongtian had a bit of a look, Yongshu was guessing his identity, but listened to Hongday's introduction:
"This is the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law."
Hongday's fourth brother, isn't that Hongli, the future Emperor Qianlong?
can bet on the demeanor of the future emperor, and today is not worth the trip, Yongshu is blessed with gifts, "Say hello to the fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law." ”
The woman beside Hongli gave a handful of hands and smiled warmly, "Yongshu, I haven't seen you for a long time, there is no need to be polite between our sisters." ”
This fourth sister-in-law actually knows her name? Yongshu was quite surprised, and Hongli was also surprised, "You guys...... Know? ”
