"Uncle," Zhang Yan said with a hurt look on her face, "Do you think my craftsmanship is not good?" ”
"How so?" Liu Ying reluctantly smiled and said, the taste of mushroom rice was strange, so he had to try the dish, and saw that the dish of sunflower vegetables was bright in color, so he used a bamboo chopstick to clip it.
"This is the most tender sunflower I picked in spring," Zhang Yan explained with a smile, "Stir-fry it in brassica oil until it is ripe, then add the drained sunflower and stir-fry it over high heat." Then add an appropriate amount of salt and serve it when the color is just right. It will be crispy and delicious. ”
Liu Ying swallowed this mouthful of sunflower with difficulty. Well, Ah Yan, what you said is the first thing, but the question is, how much salt did you add to it?
He broke out in a slight cold sweat and didn't dare to touch the sunflower again, so he sandwiched another piece of boiled lamb.
"This boiled lamb." Zhang Yanyan said, "You have to put the caramel first, add the cut lamb leg meat after saccharification, and stir-fry it with shredded green onions and ginger." When the heat comes, add salt and sugar, put cinnamon, and star anise to taste. I remember my uncle's favorite food in the past. ”
The taste of Ao lamb is sweet, but this dish is extremely sweet. Liu Ying really didn't have the courage to continue, so she had to put down the bamboo chopstick, only to feel a slight pain in her stomach.
"And this plate of dried bamboo shoots." Zhang Yan was full of interest, and Yin Yin persuaded, "Last year, the new bamboo shoots were picked up and tender, cooked and dried, and drizzled with sugar, salt, fennel, and cinnamon. It's not as delicious as meat food, uncle tastes it, does it taste good? ”
Liu Ying was about to refuse, but looking at the simple expectant look on Zhang Yan's face, she was really speechless, so she had to taste the dried bamboo shoots on the lacquer plate she picked up.
Not. God blessed, at this moment, Liu Ying almost had the urge to be grateful, finally, this bamboo shoot was barely able to eat.
Zhang Yan absentmindedly picked the fish bones, looking at Liu Ying who was obviously miserable but not easy to complain. While feeling slightly relieved, there is also a hint of distress.
If you make me uncomfortable, I won't make you feel better.
But if you're really upset, how can I be really happy? At the end of the day, in the beginning, I just wanted to be happy with you for the rest of my life.
In addition to the fragrance of bamboo shoots, the dried bamboo shoots also contain a hint of acidity, and the taste is strange. But compared to fried sunflower, it is salty and bitter, boiled lamb is sweet and greasy, and mackerel is fishy. Liu Ying felt that it was already a delicacy in the world.
Anyway, Ah Yan also left a piece of dried bamboo shoots for him to eat.
Liu Ying was afraid that Zhang Yan would persuade her again, so she was busy eating with dried bamboo shoots. Zhang Yan's crisp voice was heard in his ears, "Hmm, Cen Niang's craftsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated." This mackerel is smooth and tender, and melts in your mouth. The more bitter smile is indescribable, only to feel that the mouth is full of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and spicy.
It's easy to finish a bowl of mushroom rice. Seeing Zhang Yan's sweet and greasy persuasion, "Hmm, uncle, do you want to add another bowl?" He quickly shook his head and said, "I'm full." No need to add more. ”
Zhang Yan is well aware of the principle of accepting it when she sees it, and with a slight roll of her eyes, she ordered someone to remove the food table.
In the temple. The teapot soup on the red clay stove has not yet boiled.
In the past, every time Liu Ying finished dinner in Jiaofang Palace, Zhang Yan would make him a cup of tea. At this time, he took the green ant cup brought out by Xie Worry, and said with a smile, "The Lu family has obtained a new kind of tea in Shudi, because it is produced in Mengshan. It's called Mengding tea. One drink is astringent, and the third drink is bland. But the second soup is the best......"
"Don't bother with it anymore." Liu Ying shook her head and said, "It's good that I come by myself." "Regardless of those who have no tea-making techniques, just put the tea leaves into the cup and rinse them and drink them in one gulp.
"But Your Majesty," Zhang Yan looked dumbfounded, and said sneeringly, "the water hasn't rolled yet." ”
He poured two cups of tea in a row before he suppressed the strange taste in his mouth a little, and said with a wry smile, "I'm thirsty for a while, so let's take it for the time being." ”
After such a thrilling dinner, Liu Ying put down all the little things in her stomach for the time being, and just wanted to sleep well.
He had always slept very well, but this time he couldn't sleep soundly, and in the middle of the night, he suddenly felt unhappy in his stomach and couldn't help moaning. woke up Ah Yan beside him, raised his elbow and muttered, "What's wrong, uncle?" The voice was still drowsy.
"It's fine." He got up, covered her quilt, and soothed, "You go to sleep first." ”
Seeing Liu Ying's pale face, her eyes were blank, and cold sweat was falling from her forehead, and she hurriedly raised her voice and called, "Han Changliu, you immediately go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to summon Chunyu to come over." ”
He temporarily relieved himself for a while, and saw Ah Yan standing in front of the couch in a medium coat, her hair was still scattered, and her little face the size of a slap was white. He smiled wryly and commanded, "Go in and put on your clothes." ”
Zhang Yan lowered her head, only then did she see her chest slightly torn open when she was sleeping, her face was slightly red, she entered the inner hall and pulled a bun indiscriminately, put on a robe, and hurried out. The imperial doctor who checked the pulse, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" ”
Chun Yuyan put down his hand, got up and said, "Back to the queen mother, Your Majesty should be a discord in the stomach, have you eaten irritating food recently, or have you drunk raw water?" ”
Zhang Yan's face instantly turned red and white. Liu Ying also withdrew his hand and didn't answer, but just ordered, "In that case, you go and prescribe the medicine." ”
"No."
Codonopsis Astragalus membranaceus tonifies the middle and nourishes the qi, after Liu Ying drank it, she finally felt that Shenning was relieved, and when she saw Zhang Yan standing aside with a slightly remorseful look, she couldn't help but move the corners of her lips and called her, "Ah Yan." ”
He took her hand and said bitterly, "You have been pampered since you were a child, and your aunt handed you over to me, but she didn't let you suffer. In the future, if you like to taste something, you will tell someone to do it, and you don't have to cook it yourself. ”
Zhang Yan couldn't help but laugh softly, it seemed that Liu Ying had really suffered a lot of sins for this dinner, so she had palpitations.
She whispered, "Okay." ”
At this time, she really regretted her willfulness.
Her own cooking, she knows it herself.
She has loved food since she was a child, and she has a deep knowledge in tasting delicious food and instructing others to make food. However, the premise is that she doesn't have to do it herself.
Hands-on, in Wan'er's words, she's a kitchen killer.
She could never tell the difference between salt and sugar, and she always confused sorrel with bitter wine. It doesn't have to be deliberate. The dish made can make the saint spray rice. Wan'er also hoped to enjoy her well-being when she grew up, but after tasting the food she had cooked once, he directly banned her from touching any kitchen utensils with a black face, and the death penalty was never pardoned. After coming to the Han Dynasty, because of her self-knowledge, she has always only instructed others to do it for her, and never touched those pots and pans herself.
He is the emperor, but she is only his wife, and if he doesn't like it, he can walk away. Even if you don't want to turn your face with yourself. He can also bluntly say that he doesn't like it, and then order someone to change the diet again.
But just to not make himself sad, he forced himself to finish the food that case.
In fact. She knew that this time, it was she who was willful.
They used two different sets of guidelines for this. Standing in her position, she can naturally bury a thousand grievances. But. As far as he is concerned, he has done nothing wrong.
Maybe two people are not wrong, but when they bump into each other, the world is wrong.
She knows her waywardness, but she indulges her willfulness. Thought he would attack himself, however. But he tolerated her and didn't say a word of complaint.
She always thought that it was only in those girls who made it up. There will be such a fool, willing to bury his head in order not to show you a little sadness, willing to bury his head in eating a meal that is definitely not delicious. He didn't even know what she was angry with him for.
Silly?
Maybe.
But it was precisely because of this stupidity in his nature that she fell in love with him. The reason why he was willing to gamble such a big bet and marry him under the eyes of the world.
In the long journey that chased him. She was also scarred, and even when she heard the news of Wang Long just now, she once wondered if she was worth it like this.
It's worth it.
As long as the stupidity in his nature is still there, then he has not changed, and he is still the Liu Ying she loves.
At this moment, her heart was extremely soft and gentle.
"Mother." Han Lian entered and whispered in her ear, "The Lady of the Qingliang Palace sent someone to ask Your Majesty. ”
She was stunned for a moment, and immediately threw the soft mood just now to the sky, glared at Liu Ying fiercely, gritted her teeth and thought, why didn't I remember to add croton to the meal?
"Let him in."
"Mother." Han Lian was stunned for a moment and asked puzzled.
"Let him in." Zhang Yan insisted.
Liu Ying, I also want to see if in your heart, whether I am important or Wang Long, who is pregnant, is important.
Shi Fang of Qingliang Hall entered respectfully, and said that Wang Bazi was unwell, afraid that the fetus in his womb would be hindered, and hoped that His Majesty would understand the words of companionship in the past.
Liu Ying was stunned, and then looked at Zhang Yan. saw a faint look on Zhang Yan's face.
"Your Majesty." Shi Fang waited and waited, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Let the Imperial Doctor of the Imperial Physician's Department go over and see Mrs. Wang." Liu Ying pondered, "I won't go." ”
Zhang Yan felt a little more comfortable in her heart, and beckoned Han Lian to instruct, "Look at the palace in the future." When His Majesty stayed overnight in the Jiaofang Palace, all the people in the Qingliang Hall should not let him go to the fifty zhang of the Jiaofang Palace. ”
Han Lian couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not too early." Niangniang and Your Majesty should rest early. ”
When everything was settled, she went back to bed with a candle,
When the candle flame was blown out again, Liu Ying suddenly said thoughtfully, "Speaking of Qingliang Palace, I think about it." Now that Wang Bazi is pregnant again, Ah Yan, although you are young, you are smart. When I wasn't in Weiyang Palace, I took care of her for me. ”
She was stunned, she couldn't believe that it was so easy for her to convince herself to be more comfortable, and Liu Ying dared to mention this stubble. looked up at Liu Ying's eyes, but what he saw in his eyes was calm.
She suddenly felt a blank in her heart and asked, "Hold on, do you like children very much?" ”
He paused for a moment and smiled, "I never thought about it before. But as an emperor, I should always have an heir. He hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I occasionally think that if Chen Hu and the child in her womb were still in this world, he should be so tall that he could call his father." ”
"Ah Yan," he said suddenly, "when that child is born, if it is a boy, it will be called Gong." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Yanqi said.
Every child's name should be taken down with joy and joy by the parents. You didn't go to talk to Wang Long, but you discussed with me, the queen of the middle palace who has nothing to do with him?
"Hmm." Liu Ying nodded, "I hope he can be respectful and filial to his mother-in-law in the future." ”
I hope that in a hundred years, he will take care of you for me and honor you as his mother.
For a while, Zhang Yan suddenly felt mixed feelings, her heart was sour and sweet, and it was more of an emptiness.
She hated Wang Long for giving birth to children for him, and thanked him for everything he had planned for himself after becoming the father of other children. I finally understood a fact.
She lost her temper so much, but he didn't understand why she was angry.
At this moment, she saw a huge gulf between the two people.
She always thinks so, if I love you, then I should be willing to ask for one heart, and the white head will not be separated. The love between two people is so small, how can a third person be allowed to intervene?
He thinks that what he gave her, the queen's honor, a lifetime of trust, and sleeping with the mausoleum after that, is the ultimate he can do for her.
It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Even though he really loves himself very much, he still doesn't hinder him, he walks among those concubines and palace people one by one.
The difference in thinking caused by two thousand years of time, at this moment, this place, is so shocking.
****************
Not. Look at the time. I'm embarrassed.
For the sake of my hard work, I forgot to go back to the page and press the pink ticket button under the cover of "Yanhua".
Rub.
Touching my chin, I still believe that Liu Zhiji is a good classmate, but he still needs to be trained!!
