142 With the heart of the ice ballast
Chen Shuyi hooked the corners of her lips with disdain, sure enough, she was a country woman who didn't know anything, she was only valuable when the pearl was big, and she didn't know that the quality was more important.
"It's not a rare object, as long as you serve this palace with all your heart, this palace will not treat you badly."
As he was talking, the eunuch outside came to report that the emperor was on his way.
Chen Shuyi hurriedly got up and wanted to go outside to greet her, and after walking a few steps, she thought of Ling Xiaorou, who was still holding a string of beads on the side with a happy face, but she couldn't let the emperor always see her, otherwise what could she do if she really fell in love after seeing her for a long time?
"It's okay here, you can go back first, and wait for something to happen in the palace."
Ling Xiaorou hung her head and walked out, someone outside came to report that the emperor had arrived outside the palace, Chen Shuyi grabbed Ling Xiaorou who was going out, at this time, she was not allowed to meet the emperor head-on, she was determined not to let Ling Xiaorou show her face in front of the emperor.
Pointing to the palace maid next to her, he said, "You take her to the side hall to hide, and then leave when the emperor comes in." ”
The palace maid took Ling Xiaorou from Chen Shuyi's hand, dragged it to the side hall, Ling Xiaorou was dragged under her feet and stumbled, and she felt that this Fucui Palace was really not a place for people to stay, she was dragged around, and there was no human right at all.
Finally, lying on the crack of the door of the side hall and seeing the emperor enter Chen Shuyi's bedroom, Ling Xiaorou was released by the palace maid, and quietly walked out of the Fucui Palace, just walked to the side hall where she lived, and a eunuch chased after her, "Miss Ling, the emperor asked me to make supper, you go with the slaves." ”
Ling Xiaorou looked at the eunuch with resentment, her heart was really angry, could this still make people feel good? Is it to exhaust people and not pay for their lives?
If she is angry again, she has to go back with the eunuch, the emperor is the big man in the palace, but she can't be offended, otherwise she is afraid that she will not be able to leave the palace one by one.
Fortunately, this time it was only the braised egg custard and fried steamed bun slices that the emperor named and asked for were released after they were done.
Ling Xiaorou took a hot bath, slept hard all night, and threw herself into the tense and busy rush again the next day.
After five days of such a day, it finally arrived on the eighth day of the lunar month, and on this day of Laba, Dayan also has the custom of boiling Laba porridge to celebrate the harvest, but there is no difference.
The palace will make a lot of Laba porridge at this time, and distribute it to the palaces, and the emperor and the queen will also boil a few large pots with their own hands, and reward them for the courtiers to eat, expressing the emperor's love for the courtiers.
Fortunately, the so-called emperor and queen personally boiled it, that is, poured the washed rice into the pot, and the process of adding and boiling the porridge was completed by the eunuchs, otherwise I don't know if the porridge boiled by these two masters can be eaten.
Moreover, the laba porridge here is really boiled out of eight kinds of rice mixed together, without sugar and fruit, and that's what it looks like.
Fortunately, there are certain regulations on this matter every year, and the emperor and queen have to eat with the concubines in the warm pavilion, which makes Ling Xiaorou a lot easier.
When the masters in the palace went to eat Laba porridge, Ling Xiaorou also boiled a pot of Laba porridge for herself, in addition to adding a few kinds of rice, there were longan, lotus seeds, red dates, raisins, white fungus, etc., the porridge was not good, and a fruity fragrance wafted out.
When boiling porridge, Ling Xiaorou soaked the purple garlic that the little eunuchs had picked up with balsamic vinegar, soaked two jars, and waited until the New Year to dip the dumplings and eat. I just don't know if I can't finish eating it, can I take it away?
After the porridge was boiled, Ling Xiaorou ate Laba porridge with three threads of mixed sesame oil, but she missed the people outside the palace very much, I wonder if they also ate Laba porridge and missed her?
This heart is really sour and uncomfortable, even when I first crossed over, I was never so lost, the more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, and I really wanted to go out of the palace to see it.
But she also knows that this wish is difficult to come true, but if people can't get out of the palace, can they send things out of the palace? Although it's not a good thing, it's her heart in the end.
As soon as I thought of it, I put the boiled laba porridge in a small jar, and also put the pickled laba garlic in a small jar, and carried it out of the kitchen.
Later, someone will send Laba porridge to the officials' mansions, as Ningyuan Palace, it will definitely not be left behind, what Ling Xiaorou is looking for is who will send porridge to Ningyuan Palace, and then let them bring their own porridge and Laba garlic, it will not work, at least let them know that she is doing well.
She has also seen it these days, and the concubines in the palace have not brought letters out on weekdays, and they have not seen anything happen, as long as the reward is enough, no one will ask.
After asking a lot of people, I finally found out that the person who sent the porridge to Ningyuan Wang's mansion was a father-in-law surnamed Wang, Ling Xiaorou went directly to the past, gave the big bead string rewarded by Chen Shuyi to the prince-in-law, and asked him to send these two jars of things to Ningyuan Wangfu, and told him that Laba porridge was eaten freshly, and garlic should be eaten with dumplings during the New Year.
Originally, it was not a big deal to send something out of the palace, and the prince got another benefit, but it was a matter of the way, so he was naturally happy to sell this favor to Ling Xiaorou.
Maybe the things are delivered, and King Ning Yuan will be happy to have something to appreciate.
Sure enough, as expected by the princess, the two altars were sent to Ningyuan Wangfu and handed over to He Louyuan, as soon as he explained that these two altars were brought by Miss Ling Biao, He Louyuan was excited, and almost spilled the jar, and he hurriedly caught it, so he kept grinning and smirking, making him very suspicious that the stupid person with a happy smile was really the rumored King Ningyuan?
Needless to say, a heavy ingot of gold, I'm afraid it is the most rewarded among the people who went out of the palace to give porridge this time, right?
Waiting for the prince to leave happily, He Louyuan entered the house with the jar like a baby, and the Laba porridge rewarded by the emperor was directly thrown to He Louyu, and he asked people to send half of the Laba porridge to Aunt Wang to taste, and the other half was dug into the bowl to eat by himself.
Why do you say digging?
When Ling Xiaorou installed the altar, the laba porridge was still hot, but it couldn't stand the cold, the imperial dining room was not close to the palace gate, and the eunuchs who left the palace were standing in a row waiting to leave the palace, even if it was Ningyuan Wangfu next to the palace, and when the Laba porridge arrived at the palace, the porridge inside was also frozen.
But He Louyuan just felt that eating the porridge after it was hot was not all the craftsmanship of the eldest girl, she could still remember Laba to send him porridge in the palace, how could he eat the food that had been made by others?
Even if this porridge is all ice ballast, and it is 'gaba gaba' when you bite it, He Louyuan is stunned and his heart is warm, this is full of the eldest girl's affection for him.
He Louyu was holding a spoon next to him and wanted to scoop a bite to taste what the frozen porridge tasted like, but the prince was a food protector, he stretched out his hand a few times and didn't grab a bite, so he could only silently eat the porridge made by the emperor and queen 'with his own hands'.
After Laba, the palace is busy welcoming the small year, the small year of Dayan is divided into two days, the twenty-three worship gods in the month of La, and the twenty-four sacrificial stoves. These have been conventions in previous years, and it is not something that Ling Xiaorou needs to interfere with, what she still has to do is to take care of the diet of the two masters.
These days, Chen Shuyi doesn't always summon her to her palace, and she will let people come to the imperial dining room to pass on what she wants to eat on weekdays, which saves Ling Xiaorou a lot of heart.
I knew in my heart that Chen Shuyi was afraid that her small appearance would fascinate the emperor, and she was also happy.
It's just that the emperor is very angry these days, and he has to eat a bowl of braised egg custard every night when he reviews the folds, and he also has to eat hot ones.
He's still not satisfied with the cold, so let him return it and redo it, but it's not cold when it's done and then send it away? In the end, Ling Xiaorou had to get a thick layer of cotton, stuff it into a food box, and tightly wrap the small cup containing the braised egg custard inside, and sure enough, the egg custard never cooled again.
Through the egg custard, Ling Xiaorou understood one thing, it turned out that it was not easy for the people in the palace, the place where they cooked and ate was so far away, how many greeting meals could they eat throughout the year? It's no wonder that everyone wants to get their own small kitchen, in addition to being able to eat safe and non-toxic food, the main reason is to be able to eat a hot meal in winter.
No matter how delicious things are, the taste will be much worse when they are cooled, such as all kinds of stewed meat and fried meat, how greasy is it to eat when it is cold?
Otherwise, the emperor would not have been shocked by a bite of hot braised egg custard, and he couldn't stop it.
It's just that the emperor eats braised egg custard every day, and he asks that the taste is not allowed to change, so he is not greasy?
Somehow, the news that the emperor loves to eat braised egg custard spread in the palace, and Ling Xiaorou's little life that had just relaxed became busy again, either this palace invited her to ask for instructions, or that palace asked her to learn cooking.
Those palace concubines are still very high, their attitude is annoying, and the words they say make people want to whip them with the soles of their shoes.
I don't know if it was Chen Shuyi, or if she didn't have a tight tone in the palace, in short, these concubines all knew that the queen mother in the palace had a new cook, not only beautiful, but also the goddaughter of King Ningyuan, the key is that she was from a humble background, even if she climbed on the dragon bed, she didn't want to get ahead.
Looking at Ling Xiaorou's gaze, it was really all kinds of disdain, which made Ling Xiaorou breathe a sigh of relief and feel very aggrieved at the same time, she really didn't want to climb the dragon bed, you don't have to treat me as a class enemy, okay?
If she asks her for cooking skills, as long as it is not too much, Ling Xiaorou will not be offended, and she will not be offended.
But what's the matter with this stuffing himself with a paper bag and letting himself add it to Chen Shuyi's food? Ling Xiaorou pretended to look at the plump and rich queen mother in front of her with a blank face, she couldn't believe how she could sit in this position with her IQ.
Didn't ask who she was, so you let her do something? In case this package of medicine is sent to the emperor, I'm afraid that she will be in the back seat at that time, right?
The queen saw Ling Xiaorou staring at herself stupidly, and secretly despised herself: Sure enough, she has never seen the world.
There was a fake smile on his face, "The paper is packed with a dose of fetal medicine, as long as you add these medicines to Chen Shuyi's food, it will be of great benefit to her and the fetus in her womb." ”
As he spoke, he took off a green bracelet from his hand and put it on Ling Xiaorou's hand, "This bracelet is an object worth ten thousand gold, as long as you do what this palace wants, this palace will not treat you badly." ”
Seeing that the bracelet that was just the right size on her wrist was loose on Ling Xiaorou's wrist, and it looked like it was about to fall off at any time, a sense of jealousy emerged.
I all know that the emperor loves fair beauties, but she was born to drink water and grow meat, even if she only eats a little bit every day, this body of meat still can't fall, alas, if she can give her Chen Shuyi's slender figure, she is willing to suffer anything.
