Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

There is no banquet in the Dragon Boat Festival Palace, the queen mother said that the queen is happy, and it has been three months peacefully, and the emperor is in good health, which is a happy event, and it has to be lively.

On this day, the Queen Mother specially summoned the ladies of several families and said that they would let everyone come to the palace to make zongzi.

These ladies haven't wrapped zongzi by hand for many years.

It's just that the Queen Mother summoned her, even if she can't, she has to force herself to learn to wrap it.

The skillful ones are even more excited, and they want to show their performance.

Princess Minjun wrapped one of the four dislikes, and then wrapped another one or four dislikes, lost her hand in frustration, looked left and right for a long time and asked, "Why don't you see the two princesses?" ”

There were already seven or eight small and delicate rice dumplings in front of the Queen Mother, and when she heard the words, she didn't raise her eyelids, and said lightly: "Changle said that he went to build a school house, and he has been away from Beijing for several days, and I don't know where I am now." An Le had a cold yesterday and had some coughs, so the mourning family didn't let her come out. ”

These are two princesses who are not there!

Princess Minjun was a little disappointed, she came today with a purpose.

Her mother's brother has just reached the crown, if she can marry Princess Changle, wouldn't it be better to be close to each other.

It's just that Princess Minjun didn't discuss this matter with King Minjun, but only discussed it with her father and mother at her mother's house.

She knows her little brother, and it is difficult for him to get ahead, so it is better to be a princess.

This Princess Changle is good-looking, and she is very loved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, if her youngest brother is still a princess, she will have a lot of confidence to speak in front of several concubines in King Qing's Mansion.

Princess Minjun had a mind, and she didn't want to wrap any zongzi more and more.

Seeing that everyone was busy, she found an excuse to go out and wander around the palace where the Queen Mother lived.

The Queen Mother is tranquil by nature, and even the flowers and trees planted in the yard are more elegant than ordinary yards, and the only gorgeous thing is the pomegranate tree in the corner.

Princess Minjun saw that the pomegranate tree was blooming, and wanted to go over to pick a hairpin flower, when she heard a sound of footsteps.

"The emperor has arrived."

The emperor is coming?

Princess Minjun raised her eyes and saw the emperor in a dragon robe walking in surrounded by eunuchs.

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

Princess Minjun panicked and took three steps and two steps onto the bluestone road, lifted her skirt and knelt down.

The emperor walked in front of Princess Minjun and stopped, Princess Minjun was full of pearls, and the dazzling golden steps shook in the sun.

Princess Minjun lowered her head, and could only see the square-headed court boots worn by the emperor, with thick black trims and embroidered grass dragon patterns.

I don't know why, Princess Minjun always feels that the emperor's court boots are a little different from those worn by her men, and the bottom is thicker.

But she didn't bother more about this, the emperor's court boots and the county king's nature are different, not to mention whether they are thick or not, even the patterns on them are completely different.

The emperor's court boots flashed in front of Princess Minjun's eyes, and there was a faint fragrance.

When Princess Minjun stood up with the support of the maid, the emperor had already entered the palace of the queen mother, and the voices of the ladies inside could be faintly heard.

"Why does the emperor have time to come over today?"

When the queen mother saw the emperor coming up, she lifted the small rice dumplings wrapped in front of her and showed them to the emperor, "Look at it, this is all wrapped by the mourning family, your favorite red date filling, and the mourning family will cook it for you and send it to you." ”

The emperor walked to the queen mother's side in a few steps and took the zongzi wrapped by the queen mother: "I haven't eaten the zongzi wrapped by the queen mother for a long time, Cheng's father-in-law, take it down and cook it, today I will taste the zongzi with red date filling wrapped by the queen mother." ”

"And my emperor of red bean paste want to try it." The Duchess of Zhenguo handed a few zongzi in front of her to the emperor and the queen mother, "The concubine remembers that the emperor likes red date filling, and the queen mother likes red bean filling, why don't you cook them all and taste them?" ”

With a smile on his face, the emperor accepted the kindness of the Duchess of Zhenguo: "Okay, then it's all cooked, and I will also taste the red bean paste of the Duchess of Zhenguo." ”

Hearing what the emperor said, the other ladies looked at the zongzi in their hands and hesitated for a while.

This emperor seems to have a very good temper and is very easy to speak.

Although they rarely see the emperor on weekdays, when they see the emperor today, they always feel that the emperor is much more cordial than they have seen before.

Is this zongzi sent up to please the emperor in front of him, or is it to stay dutifully?

Everyone hesitated for a while, and when they saw that none of them took the initiative to step forward, they were immediately relieved again. This is food, if the emperor is uncomfortable with eating, it will go wrong then.

Princess Minjun saw that everyone was not moving, and her heart was a little moved, but the zongzi she wrapped really couldn't get into her eyes. It's the seeds of Princess Ruijun's bag, which are small and look weird and good-looking.

Seeing that Princess Minjun reached out to carry the tray containing zongzi in front of her, Princess Ruijun hurriedly raised her hand and held it down, shaking her head gently.

"Stingy." Princess Minjun snorted softly.

You know the.

Princess Ruijun glanced at her, and snorted coldly in her heart, the emperor was pale and flushed, and at first glance he looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Zongzi, is that something that people who are just sick can eat?

Everyone knows that it is not good for the emperor to play a small body, and he has to ask for a doctor every three or five times. The Queen Mother said this, just to let the emperor feel the excitement of the festival, if you really let the emperor eat two or three zongzi in a row.

Not to mention that the doctor is too urgent, the Queen Mother may be the first to turn her face at that time.

With a bad brain and blind eyes, Princess Ruijun sighed that she was so unlucky, and she was such a brainless concubine!

No one else saw the eyebrows and eyes between the two concubines in the Qingwang Mansion, and the emperor and the queen mother were talking, so they didn't care.

Waiting for Cheng Fangyuan to hold a plate of boiled zongzi, the emperor really peeled a red date filling and ate it.

The dumplings wrapped by the Queen Mother are extremely small, and they are only three or four bites when chewed and swallowed slowly.

The emperor ate one and wanted to eat, but the outstretched hand was slapped by the queen mother, and the queen mother didn't let the emperor eat again, saying that it was difficult to digest the accumulated food after eating too much.

As for the red bean paste wrapped by the Duchess of Zhenguo, they were all left by the Queen Mother, and the emperor didn't even see it.

When the emperor came up, he just sat down for a while, and said a few words with the queen mother, and the zongzi left before they were cooked.

Seeing that the emperor was in a hurry, the Queen Mother's interest in making zongzi seemed to have been taken away, she put down the zongzi leaves in her hand, sighed low and said to the Duchess of Zhenguo on the side: "Look, why can't the emperor's body and bones always get better?" I don't know how many panaceas I have taken, but you can see that he is so thin that he can run away when the wind blows. ”

"The emperor has been thin since he was a child, and this body is boneless, I think I am much healthier than in previous years."

The Duchess of Zhenguo answered with a smile, and the movements in her hands did not stop. She knew that the Queen Mother was just complaining to her, not asking her to persuade her.

The other ladies scooped glutinous rice, and those who took zongzi leaves took zongzi leaves, as if they didn't hear it.

Only in Minjun, the princess pricked up her ears, wishing she could listen more.

When everyone went home with a bunch of zongzi, closed the door and said it carefully, no one figured out what the Queen Mother meant today?

Just want to find everyone to make zongzi?
