This dish, called the fire roasted pearl meat, the main ingredient is actually oysters, common along the coast, Chang'an, Taiyuan and other places but there is no output, since the Shang and Zhou periods, oyster meat is only used in medicine for a long time, it is rumored that the former dynasty is the late Emperor of Guangzhou, because of the beauty of the pampering of the Baiyue country, this beauty did the fire burning pearl meat that he loved to eat since childhood, the late Guang Emperor praised the delicious, ordered the organization of thousands of servants, the oysters were transported to Chang'an, the servants had to travel for many years, not far away to transport fresh oysters to the court, to meet the appetite of the late Guang Emperor.

This dish gradually spread from the court to the people, to the Great Zhou, in fact, the commercial market has been sold, so it is more popular, of course, such a delicacy needs to waste a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it long distances, the price is not low, it is impossible to go to the table of the common people, can only let the aristocratic class taste.

When Emperor Renzong He Yan was alive, he especially liked this delicacy, and He Ye ate and lived with Renzong at that time, and often tasted this dish, and he did not resist it at first. It's just that when he was seven or eight years old, he didn't know if he was too greedy, which caused abdominal pain, and after the medical officer's diagnosis and treatment, he was fine in a few days, and he was fine, but then he didn't know which eunuch privately heard the same palace people talking nonsense, saying that there was a fisherman in Lingnan, who had eaten this roasted oyster for many years, and as a result, a large piece of oyster meat was born in the stomach, and the abdominal pain was unbearable.

He Ye was shocked when he heard this, suspecting that someone had harmed his brother, and suspected that he had oyster meat in his belly, so he almost didn't dismantle the Shangshi Bureau, or the eunuch admitted that he was nonsense, and slapped his mouth dozens of times to appease the little Yama king.

But after all, a big joke was made, the little king of Yama was annoyed and angry, and He Yan also ordered the palace people not to talk about it, and no longer use this dish to stimulate He Ye.

Of course, it is impossible for this joke to be known on the streets, and because of the fact for many years, the Queen Mother is not worried about angering He Ye, so she has forgotten about it, so it is even more impossible to tell Ren to avoid taboos, but there are many palace people who know, such as elixirs.

However, the reason why she has such a profound image is that it has to be said that the King of Jin has already established a mansion outside the country, and she has not completely fallen out of favor at that time, and because Jiang Yu takes care of her, at least she will not be harsh on her diet, and she will be greedy for the elixir, so she will eat oysters by name, and she is greedy for fun, so that the maidservants will be roasted and eaten on the spot in the flower garden, who knows that the King of Jin passed by, and was furious when he saw this, and almost didn't break the elixir with a sword, or Jiang Yu risked his life to dissuade her, in the end, let a maid carry the black cauldron, and was killed by He Ye with a cane!

Although Jiang Yu took pity on the really innocent maid and only sent her back to the court without telling King Jin, it was enough to make the elixir frightened, and he didn't dare to show his face in front of He Ye for half a year.

At this time, seeing such a large plate of "pearl meat" clearly placed in front of King Jin, the elixir silently looked at Ren with mournful eyes.

And the maidservant who was serving beside He Ye who was pouring wine and delivering food didn't dare to move at this time, staring at the "pearl meat" in horror, and even His Highness's face didn't dare to look at it.

But Ren was unconscious, and was courting the princess at this time: "I heard that the princess likes this dish, and the concubine has spent a lot of effort to prepare. โ€

The more winter, the more inconvenient it will be transported, and the oyster meat must be kept fresh to have that beautiful and tender taste, after October, it is no longer common on the market, Ren did run many merchants, and finally purchased these twenty or thirty catties.

"Ren Ji inquired very clearly about the princess's preferences." Ting smiled slightly, and said this, of course, it was very ill-intentioned.

The wine cup in He Ye's hand was slammed into the case.

Ren was shocked, looking at His Highness's gloomy expression, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.

The elixir ducked behind the princess again, almost thinking that Her Highness was about to flip the table immediately......

"Ren Ji has a heart." Shi Niang spoke again at this time: "I did like this delicacy originally, but not long ago, I heard Master Ling Xuan mention it, and I learned that oysters are eaten excessively, which is not beneficial to the body, although those miscellaneous books have unconfirmed records that will cause worms in the abdomen, it is always better to be careful." โ€

He motioned to the servant and maid to remove the dish quickly.

Ren was shocked in his heart: The princess's words were obviously intentionally targeted, and I said that I had bad intentions, why is this? So many people in the world are greedy for the deliciousness of oysters, who has ever heard that the worms in the abdomen are not good for the body? It's obviously alarmist! What went wrong to cause the princess to be dissatisfied?

But he didn't dare to question it, and hurriedly said guilty: "The concubine is lonely and unheard, and I don't know that oyster meat has this harm." โ€

"No wonder you don't know, I only heard my master mention it not long ago, but I forgot to remind the blister chef." Eleven Niang said with a smile.

Ren's heart was really depressed, and he was still racking his brains, thinking about what went wrong, and unexpectedly heard King Jin ask: "The princess actually believes that there is a worm in her abdomen?" โ€

The look on his face softened a little.

"Although this dish is so popular, there has never been a thing that has been harmed by it, but the concubine thinks that there may be some sick oysters, which will cause diseases after people eat them, and after listening to the teacher's reminder, I feel uneasy, no matter how delicious the oyster meat is, I dare not eat it."

King Jin became more and more satisfied: "The princess said very much, just like the puffer fish, there are many people who are greedy for its deliciousness and often eat it, but it is true that some people die because of dolphin poisoning, and they can't even put life and death aside for the sake of appetite." โ€

That is, he glanced at Ren, but raised a wine and toasted the princess.

The elixir breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned very stupid: if it weren't for the princess's wit, self-proclaimed "fear", and pleasing His Royal Highness in time, maybe Ren's disaster would be coming today, and this is all for the sake of the queen mother's face, the princess will defend Ren's and count her good luck.

Ren didn't feel lucky at all, and was still secretly complaining: Who believes this? The princess obviously intended to give me this food and this hanging, first let those blistering cooks mislead, and then embarrass me in public, but where did I offend this person?

Suddenly, he heard Ting and said: "Today is the princess's birthday, and the concubine should not have been disappointed, but seeing that Ren Ji actually caused this accident, His Royal Highness originally instructed the concubine to take care of the birthday celebration, there are some words, if you don't explain it immediately, won't the concubine be blamed by His Royal Highness?" โ€

Ren's eyes lit up and glared at Tinger, but she really didn't feel good at this time, of course she refused to be restrained, she was brewing emotions, and wanted to have a pitiful coquettishness, but He Ye didn't want to give her a chance to play, and said: "Tingting has something to say, to put it bluntly, the princess has always been generous, where can I blame you for ruining your fun?" โ€

In this case, of course, Eleven Niang couldn't stop Ting, and sat back and watched Sister Ting's play with an expressionless face.

"This first thing, the princess's birthday today, it is clear that His Royal Highness has been thinking about it, to celebrate the princess's birthday, and handed over this task to the concubine, the concubine naturally did not dare to slack off, first had to ask the princess what she thought, but also for today's birthday banquet to be appropriate, so as to live up to His Royal Highness's kindness, the princess confessed to the concubine, it is good to be simple, avoid extravagance, and even do not need to publicize it first, lest you have to waste your heart to prepare gifts, this is also the virtue of the princess, of course the concubine does not dare to disobey the order, who knows that Ren Ji heard about it in Zhangtai Garden, and stared at it later, The concubine had just arrived at Yuguanju one day, and Ren Ji hurried to arrive. โ€

Tinger's face was full of grievances: "It is ill-intentioned to accuse the concubine of hiding it from them, and even insist that it is the concubine who reminds her that Her Royal Highness remembers the princess's birthday, obviously intentionally making the princess jealous of the concubine and deliberately sowing discord." Although the princess told the truth, Ren Ji didn't believe it at all, and in order to avoid suspicion, the concubine had to let Ren Ji manage the wine and banquet dishes, otherwise there would be no accident. โ€

It turns out that there are so many hidden secrets in it, and all the concubines look at each other, how can they not know that Ren has fallen into Tinger's trap?

I just don't know if His Royal Highness is now pampering the Ren family, will he be partial.

Only Qin Ji felt half of the truth: why did the Liu family jealous and hate the Ren family? This incident is clearly instructed by His Highness, and it should be that His Highness is quite impatient with Ren's entanglement, and intends to find an excuse to send it.

As soon as she thought of this, she listened to Ren's immediate rebuttal: "Your Highness Mingjian, the concubine is not from Zhangtaiyuan......

Qin Ji raised her eyebrows: Ren is also alert and understands the most critical point, but since this trap is set up by His Royal Highness, how can she be allowed to quibble?

was watching with great interest, waiting to see Ren's bad luck, and unexpectedly heard the princess say: "Your Highness, it's nothing more than a small misunderstanding between the sixth sister and Ren Ji, where is it worth theorizing in public about right and wrong?" His Royal Highness is full of interest to celebrate the concubine's birthday today, and the concubine is grateful, and she really doesn't want to live up to His Royal Highness's elegance, and I think His Royal Highness will not really complain about the sixth sister and Ren Ji for such a trivial matter. โ€

I even deliberately brushed this matter aside.

The princess would defend Ren's original in Qin Ji's expectations, but what she didn't expect was that He Ye would no longer pursue it, and said, "Also, where will I blame Tingting?" Today is the princess's birthday, so there is no need to theorize about these trivial things, it is better to carry out the wine order, and it will be lively. โ€

Qin Ji was full of doubts, and it took a long time to understand: Yes, His Royal Highness can't ignore the princess's face at all, and make a fuss out of control for some trivial things, and maybe it will make the Queen Mother suspicious, but His Royal Highness's words just now only mentioned that he would not blame the Liu family, and he did not comfort the Ren family in a word, which is to show everyone who is more partial.

But what if His Royal Highness really didn't want to spoil the princess's interest, so he let Ren go gently?

Qin Ji's wrist trembled, and the sour vinegar in his chest surged again, this wine banquet was all about paying attention to the eyebrows between King Jin and his wife.
