Chapter Eighty-Four: Harmony between the Emperor and the Empress
took a deep breath and stabilized her lively heart, everyone wanted her life, what else did she care, not to mention that the current situation was no longer something she said would stop.
It has been a while since the show girl entered the palace, and these days the masters in the palace have only summoned them from time to time, and the real selection has not begun.
But today is different, I don't know why, the emperor suddenly gave a temporary notice that the emperor wanted to come and see, so the show girls finally ushered in the first selection!
Although there is no need for women to be proficient in all kinds of affairs, they must also have one or two things that can be used, or female red, or stove skills, or tea ceremony, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc.
And this time, the exam questions are cooking and embroidery!
These show girls are all noble ladies who have no worries about food and clothing, and their cooking skills are the least valued of the various skills they have learned.
After all, when you are hungry, you have a cook, you have a maid to dress, and you don't need the master to move a finger at all.
But this time it was cooking and embroidery, in Xie Xuchen's words, the man's wife can not play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, but cooking and embroidery are the most important.
Isn't it more intimate to be able to eat a mouthful of food when you are hungry, and to be able to put on your wife's clothes when you are cold?
It is precisely because of Xie Xuchen's words that the emperor and the queen mother set this test.
Standing in front of the stove, the show girls are so excited, they are ten fingers slender when they take something, and they are elegant when they cut vegetables, and they strive to show every picture that can be used as a beautiful computer desk screen.
Only Ye Qiuhan, looking at the stove in front of him and the ingredients in front of him, was about to drool, and wondered in his heart, can he save a little of this self-made meal?
It's no wonder that she is greedy, she crossed over from the colorful world of food and culture in modern times to Dayong, and she was already very embarrassed, and she only knew what it meant to be really perfunctory when she arrived at this Chuxiu Palace.
Not to mention the palace people of thousands of people in the palace, it is those masters of high and small status, three meals a day is a big project.
And the show girl of Chuxiu Palace is the eldest lady outside the palace, but in the palace, she is just a nameless show girl, there is no dignity of those masters, and there is no affection of those palace people.
If you want to eat something delicious and appetizing, you can! Give money!.
Therefore, although the food in Chuxiu Palace is better than that of the palace people, it is not much better, just two words: it can be eaten!
Those delicate ladies don't eat to their liking, so they throw a lot of silver, as long as they are willing to eat anything.
But Ye Qiuhan was reluctant, the prices in this palace were too expensive, and she was born in ordinary people and did not develop extravagant values.
Except for the food that Xie Xuchen asked people to send her to improve her food, she really lost her mouth, and in just a few days, she lost several pounds.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiuhan glanced at Zhang Suyun, who was about to make crab and pear juice, just met her smug eyes, and defiantly raised the pear in his hand at her.
Turning his head and rolling his eyes secretly, this idiot is really in a hurry to find his own death, now he just has to wait.
With a big determination in his heart, Ye Qiuhan didn't look at her anymore, didn't care about his image at all, neatly put on his sleeves, picked up the fresh rabbit meat and fresh Q bomb chicken wings on the table, and prepared to make a dry pot double.
She is just greedy, and she wants to eat anything delicious, but when it comes to a dish with rich and diverse ingredients, dry pot is definitely on the list.
Choose from a few of your favorite ingredients, including white lotus roots, green celery, young shiitake mushrooms, half an onion and a handful of rice cakes...... Just thinking about it makes you speak!
As an independent woman working alone in the city, although takeout is more convenient and trouble-free, cooking by herself is more hygienic and cost-effective, and it is also a way to relax, so although Ye Qiuhan's craftsmanship is not very good, home-cooked food is still no problem.
What's more, the four princes and Zhang Suyu's Luobin Building also launched dry pots and stewed pots, although they are not as good as they have eaten before, but the ingredients are fresh.
Now under the leadership of Luo Binlou, there are more and more tricks in the dishes in the capital, and she doesn't make this dry pot eye-catching, at a glance, she sees that the dishes in the hands of many show girls on the field are the dishes of Luo Binlou, it seems that the families of these girls are really invested in training.
Just when Ye Qiuhan was concentrating on cooking, she didn't know that several of the most powerful people on the high seat were talking about her.
It's not because of anything else, it's just that among a group of show girls who are a little busy and still have to maintain elegance, her movements are the most neat and the most concentrated, and she won't tidy up her makeup from time to time, let alone glance up at the high platform from time to time.
The most important thing is that both the sleeves and the hair are tied up, which makes it stand out.
"It's really interesting, it's the first time I've seen so many show girls cooking together, these ladies are dignified and virtuous on weekdays, it's the first time I've seen them so hurried, that's the granddaughter of Master Zhang, hahaha! See! I've been caught by a crab! ”
The show girls at the bottom were in a mess, either splashed with oil or almost cut by a knife, one by one, they were in a lot of situations, and they had to take care of their own image, but the emperor in the high position was overjoyed when he watched this scene, not like a draft but more like watching a comedy sketch.
The group of ladies couldn't help but laugh when they looked at the show girls in front of them, it is better to be entertained by the emperor than to be appreciated by the emperor.
Even the Queen Mother looked at this dull scene that was different from previous years, and couldn't help but laugh, "What is most lacking in this palace is such freshness, and the palace has not been so lively for a long time." ”
"No, just looking at these lively girls, the concubines feel that they are much younger." The queen also smiled so hard that she covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
For pure people who can neither have children nor love the emperor, just to sit in the middle palace to assist the emperor, and take care of their mother's family by the way, the queen never feels that she will be threatened by this group of young and brightly colored show girls.
The emperor is a bright monarch, he will not be dizzy, and the queen's situation is suitable for the queen's position, as long as the emperor is not confused, he will not change himself with a queen, so the queen is very comfortable, more comfortable than the emperor and the queen mother.
"Why did the queen say this, in my heart, the queen is the best at all times."
Holding the queen's hand, the emperor has never hidden his satisfaction with the queen, and the queen also blushed shyly.
