Hearing Empress Dowager Dou's name, Dong Meng slowly stepped forward, looked at the colorful rock candy in the glass bottle for a long time, and carefully picked up a piece and sniffed it.

Seeing that he was so careful, Empress Dowager Dou couldn't help but reprimand: "The courage is also a little smaller, can't you still trust Wu Shiyu?" Hurry up and taste it, if there are no rules in the palace today, someone must try it, how can it be your turn to taste such a good thing! ”

"Yui!" Dong Meng didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took out a small piece and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm~ so sweet!" Dong Meng was shocked, and then showed an extremely surprised look on his face, and then chewed and tasted it slowly.

After a long time, Dong Meng nodded slightly and said to the Empress Dowager Dou: "This colorful rock candy is very sweet, it is a rare delicacy, and it should be eaten safely!" ”

"Can Hongu eat it now?" Empress Dowager Dou asked the eunuch and palace maid beside her with a calm face.

"The Queen Mother, wait a minute, the color of rock candy is very colorful, you should not eat it rashly!" A eunuch said as he licked his mouth.

At this time, Wu Yong had to stand up and explain: "The color of these rock candies is mostly made from the flower juice of plants, and no other superfluous substances are added. ”

"Have you heard what Wu Shi said too? Since Dong Meng's food is all right, why should this palace stay for a long time! Empress Dowager Dou said as she reached out and picked up a piece of white rock candy, put it in her mouth, and immediately moved when she tasted it, and praised it with infinite surprise in her eyes.

"This rock candy melts in the mouth, sweet and greasy, and it makes people feel comfortable when they eat it, and it is really a good thing." For Empress Dowager Dou's insistence, the eunuchs and palace maids were helpless, but since Huangmen Ling Dong Meng had tasted it for so long, there was no abnormality, and there should be no problem with safety, so they could only smile bitterly, stood up and retreated to the side to watch Empress Dowager Dou eat happily, and at the same time they kept swallowing saliva.

A grain of rock candy was quickly digested by the Empress Dowager Dou, and when she reached out and wanted to take one, she saw the three princesses looking at her with blank eyes.

At the moment, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You guys also come and taste it, this palace has never eaten such a sweet thing!" ”

"Thank you!" The three princesses did not refuse, but gathered together, and each of them chose a favorite color.

When the rock candy was entered, the three princesses all widened their eyes, and they finally understood that the sweetness of what the queen mother said was so sweet, this was really sweet, even if they were princesses of the Han Dynasty and had eaten all the sweets, it was the first time they had tasted such sweet rock candy.

The last white sugar has opened their eyes, and this time the rock candy has refreshed their cognition.

Seeing the rock candy in the glass bottle, the three princesses' eyes glowed green, and they couldn't wait to divide them equally. But they can only think about it.

Colorful rock candy is used as a birthday gift from Wu Yong to the Empress Dowager Dou, even if they are tempted, they can only endure it.

Seeing the unfinished appearance of the three princesses, the Empress Dowager Dou immediately ordered the palace maid to put away the glass bottle with the colorful rock candy and leave it for later enjoyment.

Seeing this, the three princesses could only reluctantly withdraw their gaze. At the same time, they all muttered in their hearts: "It seems that I have to find a chance to ask Wu Yong for some!" At this time, Wu Yong said loudly again: "Next is the second gift prepared by the minister for the Queen Mother!" With that, Wu Yong handed the second birthday gift to the Empress Dowager Dou,

"Queen Mother, let the minister take it out for you this time, the packaging of these things is very cumbersome, and the minister is worried about soiling the Queen Mother's jade hands!"

"Very good! So, I'm sorry for you! Empress Dowager Dou smiled slightly. So in the eyes of a group of curious people, the five-layer exquisite food boxes were disassembled one by one and placed on the low table on the side.

Empress Dowager Dou saw that there were six bamboo skewers strung together in each layer of food boxes, and there was a slender paper bag on the outside, which looked very mysterious.

Seeing that Wu Yong did not explain immediately, the young Empress Dowager Dou could no longer help but be curious, picked up a bamboo skewer, and asked Wu Yong: "What kind of food is this?" Why is the shape so strange? Wu Yong explained with a smile: "Empress Dowager, this is a sugar gourd made by the minister. Xiao Chen heard that the Queen Mother often lost her appetite, so he thought of this appetizing food. With that, he stepped forward and took down the paper bag on the sugar gourd in Empress Dowager Dou's hand.

Suddenly, a string of crystal clear sugar gourds appeared in front of everyone, looking so mouth-watering.

When Empress Dowager Dou heard that this sugar gourd was made by Wu Yong specifically for herself, her eyes suddenly moistened a little and said, "Wu Yong, you are very good!" I am very pleased that there are still people like you in this world who remember this palace! You say, whatever reward you want, as long as this palace has it, you will not be stingy. Wu Yong immediately bowed and said: "The queen mother has tormented the minister, and the minister can now accompany the son to study today, and be enlightened by the three emperors, which should be a blessing from the cultivation of three lives." As the mother of the Son of Heaven, the queen mother can talk about her heart, and she is already satisfied, and she doesn't dare to ask for anything else. After Wu Yong's words were finished, Empress Dowager Dou was immediately moved, wiping her tears while choking up: "If the Son of Heaven can have half of your filial piety, why would this palace fall to the point where it is now!" Seeing this, the three princesses immediately stepped forward and comforted: "Queen Mother, you don't have to be so sad, don't you still have our three sisters?" As long as I wait in the palace for a day, I won't let people bully the queen mother. Empress Dowager Dou was moved again, and saw her put the sugar gourd in her hand back into the food box.

Then he hugged the three princesses and cried: "The queen mother should not be harsh to you before, but now that you are claustrophobic in the cloud platform, the palace has discovered that the most precious thing in this world is family affection." ”

"Queen Mother, let the previous things pass, in the future, the four of us mother and daughter will protect the country left by our father together, don't end up empty, and make a wedding dress for others!" As the eldest of the three princesses, Liu Hua has become much more mature after a series of changes in the palace in the past few years.

She saw the shadow of her father from her son Liu Hong, who was alive because she favored the eunuchs too much, which led to the corruption of the court.

Now Liu Hong's actions are too much. Wu Yong couldn't see this kind of scene of mother's love and filial piety, in order not to be as emotional as them, so he had to remind: "Queen Mother, after this sugar gourd is opened, it is better to eat it as soon as possible, otherwise it will melt easily after being left for a long time, affecting the appearance and taste." When the four of them heard this, they were all stunned, but the Empress Dowager Dou reacted and asked, "How to eat this sugar gourd?" ”

"Just eat it!" As he spoke, Wu Yong asked the palace maids to take the food plate and spoon fork, and under the gaze of everyone, he took the sugar gourd off the bamboo skewer and put it on the plate.

"Please eat it the Queen Mother!" Wu Yong handed the plate to the Empress Dowager Dou. Empress Dowager Dou picked up the silver fork, forked the largest one, put it in her mouth, chewed a few bites, and suddenly a sweet and sour feeling came to her heart.

"Eat it too! It's delicious! Empress Dowager Dou was not stingy and invited the three princesses to taste the sugar gourd together.

The three princesses glanced at each other, but they were not reserved, they were all in their teens, and it was the time to covet their appetites.

"Queen Mother, this sugar gourd is so delicious!" The three princesses did not hesitate to praise, they have seen Wu Yong's power today, these sweets are simply incomparable, even the imperial chef in the palace is much different.

After the four of them finished eating a bunch of sugar gourds, Wu Yong said aloud again: "Next is the third gift prepared by the minister for the queen mother, come, take it!" Everyone's eyes were attracted by Wu Yong's words again, and when they looked to the side, they saw two palace maids walking over with a tray, although the tray was covered by a red cloth, but it was bulging, and there was obviously something on it.

"Let's uncover it directly!" Empress Dowager Dou didn't wait for Wu Yong to speak this time, and said directly. Wu Yong also did as he was told, directly ripped off the red cloth on the tray, and then asked a palace maid to pick up the things on one of the trays......

"Oh my God! This dress is so beautiful! ”

"Is this a fairy cloth? How can there be such beautiful clothes in the world? ”

"This dress is only qualified to be worn by the queen mother, the nine phoenixes are so brilliant, just like the living." Hearing the exclamations of everyone at the scene, especially the women, Wu Yong smiled slightly and introduced: "Queen Mother, here is the third gift prepared for you by the minister - Jiufeng cotton brocade!" Wu Yong pointed to a palace maid holding a piece in her hand

"Huge" dress said. In fact, this dress was made by him from the most well-known tailor in Luoyang with cotton cloth and cotton, and added a lot of transparent crystals and various colors of jade to the pattern of Jiufeng.

This Jiufeng cotton brocade is actually an oversized cheongsam, which is a style he carefully selected, of course, this cheongsam is not split!

Even if he is not a professional fashion designer, but with his vision beyond the millennium of others, the clothes made by the tailors are also amazing!

As Wu Yong expected, Empress Dowager Dou is also a woman, and she has no resistance to beautiful clothes at all, so she walked quickly to the clothes and stroked them gently......

"Queen Mother, can you put it on and try it on and see if it fits?" Wu Yong encouraged. Empress Dowager Dou still didn't lose her mind, shook her head slightly, and said, "Don't try, this palace likes it very much!" Come on, put your clothes away! Wu Yong was a little pity, but still explained: "Queen Mother, this Jiufeng cotton brocade can only be worn in winter, and it is very warm. In the summer, the minister will prepare a light and thin style for the queen mother! ”

"We want it too!" Before Empress Dowager Dou could speak, the three princesses couldn't wait to ask Wu Yong for clothes.

The princesses asked for something, and Wu Yong didn't dare to slack off, but at this time, there was not much cotton left in his hand, so he could only agree first, so he said with a smile: "Several princesses still need to wait patiently for a while, after all, these clothes are extremely cumbersome, and they can only work slowly and carefully, and they can't come in a hurry!" ”

"Alright then, you must keep it in mind, and send it to us as soon as it's done." The three princesses hated to have this new style of clothes immediately, but they also understood that Wu Yong was telling the truth.

The clothes they are wearing now are all woven by the weavers in the palace for many years, but considering that the clothes contributed by Wu Yong are much better looking than them, it is expected that the time spent must not be short.

Just when everyone was discussing the style of clothes in Yuntai Pavilion, a palace maid suddenly came to report:

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, the ministers sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, do you want to accept it?" Empress Dowager Dou was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "No matter who sends congratulatory gifts today, they will all accept it!" ”
