143 The queen is a heartless one
Ling Xiaorou felt hot when she looked at the bracelet, if she believed that there was a deadly poison in this paper bag, it could be said to be a tonic, she could only hehe, did this queen lack her own heart, or did she think that others were as lacking as her?
Coming out of the palace where the queen was beaten, Ling Xiaorou rubbed the corners of her sore forehead as she walked, the book didn't say that all the women in the palace were masters of palace fighting, and all of them were far-sighted, but her IQ when she met one or two was very worrying.
As for the bag of medicine powder in her arms, she didn't dare to give it to Chen Shuyi, but if she didn't give it to Chen Shuyi, the queen would not let her go.
Give the paper bag directly to the Queen Mother? Don't be stupid, it is said that the Queen Mother is the queen's aunt, and people can't help others with their nieces and daughters-in-law in this matter? The queen can be so unscrupulous, I am afraid that it has nothing to do with the queen mother.
If you give the paper bag to the emperor? It is said that the queen must have done a lot of this, how could the emperor not know anything with her IQ? So far, she has not punished the queen, and there must be a reason for him, if she really did it stupidly, maybe she would be accused of framing the queen.
Thinking about it left and right, this pack of medicine has to be digested internally, as for the queen who can't see the effect and ask her, she is not afraid, anyway, the queen said that it is a medicine for raising a fetus, then raise a fetus, as long as Chen Shuyi's fetal cultivation is fine, she can always perfunctory, right?
I hope that the Queen Mother can let her out of the palace after the New Year and stay away from this circle of right and wrong.
These days, no matter where Ling Xiaorou goes, whether it is the palace maid or the palace concubine, she doesn't take her very seriously, the palace maid is better, and the one she knows will politely call 'Miss Ling', and the palace concubine directly looks at people with white eyes, if it weren't for asking her about the practice of beating braised egg custard, I'm afraid she wouldn't be too lazy to look at her.
After all, her background has been spread, even if she enters the palace, she can't climb very high, and it doesn't do much good to hold her, but it is convenient for Ling Xiaorou to inquire about some things outside the palace.
A group of palace maids gathered under the plum tree, talking about something lively, Ling Xiaorou also came over, those palace maids only saluted her when they saw Ling Xiaorou, and then continued the previous topic.
From the snow that fell a few days ago, the concubine of the palace seemed to be happy but accidentally slipped on the snow, and a long and handsome eunuch from the medical bureau said that the palace maid seemed to eat against which eunuch, and from the king of Xiyi, who was arrested before......
"Have you heard? The hero who captured the king of Xiyi entered Beijing, and the emperor will set up a palace banquet for him in the Baihua Hall tomorrow, I also heard that this hero is not only mighty, but also has no wife room at home, and the princesses are waiting in line to take a peek at him tomorrow. ”
Ling Xiaorou's heart and liver jumped up when she heard it, catching the hero of King Xiyi? Are you talking about Ling Feng? At the beginning, this matter was known to the whole world, Ling Feng was not well injured and had been named a general, in addition to thanksgiving this time in Beijing, it must also mean to be an official and a knight, right?
After calming down for a long time, he interjected in the excited conversation of the palace maids: "The princess beckons the horse? Doesn't the emperor have no heirs? Even if there is, how old is the princess? ”
The palace maids laughed 'poof', "Miss Ling asked this, the emperor has no heirs, but he has sisters, and now there are many princesses to be married in the palace, so I can't tell which one will be the hero in love." ”
Ling Xiaorou doesn't want a princess to be her sister-in-law at all, not to mention whether the princess is pampered or not, even she can't stand those rules, if she really wants to live together in the future, she won't be yelled at all day long like when she was in the palace?
It's that she really got married, what about Xi'er? There is a princess as a stepmother at a young age, even if he is now a concubine, he will not be embarrassed in the future, anyway, the status of the child born by the princess must be much more noble than him.
Of course, what Ling Xiaorou wants to do most now is to go with those princesses to peek at the heroes, in case it is really her brother, and her relatives will also meet her, let her see if Ling Feng is doing now, it is said that it is not a very 'serious' injury, what kind of injury is not serious, so that he will be raised in Jicheng for so long before entering Beijing.
Otherwise, with his love for his sister, he must have hurried over as soon as he learned that his sister had arrived in the capital.
Moreover, she really wanted to know if Xi'er was doing well, if she hadn't learned from He Louyuan that Xi'er was picked up by Ling Feng, she would have been unable to help but run back to Jicheng to have a look.
But it's not a task for her to peek at the hero alone, and now she can only ...... in the imperial dining room Cining Palace...... Fleur Palace...... She can't get lost between the side halls where she lives, and she doesn't dare to take a single step no matter how many roads there are.
In this case, if she wants to see the hero, she can only find someone to lead her, it is best to destroy the untimely fantasies of those princesses, otherwise with Ling Feng's handsome little face, I am afraid that the princesses will not match? If they don't break their heads, they are reserved.
It's easy to say, but it was finally said that these palace maids were willing to accompany her to see the heroes tomorrow, and they were even moved by laughter.
Of course, there are also palace maids who are suspicious, "I heard that this general is also surnamed Ling, and he is from the command of King Ning Yuan, Miss Ling and General Ling can't say that they still recognize each other." ”
Ling Xiaorou was in a trance and said with a smile: "I also hope so, if it is a distant relative who I haven't seen for many years, it is naturally the best, but I haven't seen anyone, I don't dare to speculate." ”
The palace maids smiled disapprehrovingly, they are young generals, your family is a farmer, even if you have relatives, they are also farmers, is it possible that your relatives can still hold a hoe and pickaxe to kill the enemy? It's strange to think about.
Still delusional to climb relatives with heroes? Do you really think that you are the eldest lady from a big family? It's really a laughing person.
Ling Xiaorou didn't care what they thought, she was already very sure that the hero who would enter the palace tomorrow was her brother Ling Feng, although she really only got along for a few days, but her admiration for Ling Feng was getting deeper and deeper day by day, when she learned that she was going to see him, she was not as calm as she wanted to see He Lou, and sure enough, no matter when love could not replace family affection.
On this day, in addition to cooking meals for the Queen Mother and Chen Shuyi, Ling Xiaorou immersed herself in studying the dishes, in addition to the dishes to be used during the New Year, and tomorrow she wants Ling Feng to eat the delicious food she made herself, anyway, if she doesn't prepare it early, it will fall on her head.
In the past few days, the Queen Mother has become more and more satisfied with Ling Xiaorou's cooking skills day by day, originally wanted Ling Xiaorou to discuss with the imperial chefs to cook a New Year's banquet, at most a few brilliant dishes.
As a result, I don't know which tendon was touched yesterday, and I made a decree, this year's New Year's banquet is completely decided by Ling Xiaorou, and the original imperial chefs only need to obey Ling Xiaorou's orders and give her a hand.
Although the imperial chefs were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to resist the order, they could only sprinkle their grievances on Ling Xiaorou, and their eyes were quite unpleasant to look at.
Most of the imperial chefs wanted to see Ling Xiaorou's jokes, and completely forgot that once the New Year's banquet was smashed, Ling Xiaorou would definitely be the only one to be punished, and they didn't want to run away one by one.
Besides, even if Ling Xiaorou is from a low background, she has the big backer of Ningyuan Wangfu, which means punishment, and the real unlucky ones are the imperial chefs who are not strong in their background.
But at this time, they only remembered in their hearts that Ling Xiaorou could get a few rewards every day, which was a treatment that no other imperial chef had ever had, and they had robbed them of their jobs after only a few days of coming, completely forgetting this.
Ling Xiaorou didn't have much confidence in her heart, she had only held a few large-scale banquets theoretically, and she had seen more and done less, and the scale was definitely not as good as a country's annual banquet.
Now she has to take on everything, she is also empty-hearted, and finally after thinking about it, she decided to simply hold this New Year's banquet according to the menu of the Manchu and Han banquets, anyway, the people here have not eaten many good things, and as long as the meaning is good, there is a small flaw, and I am not afraid that someone can find faults.
And in addition to recording all the ingredients of the dishes to be made at the Manchu and Han banquets for people to procure, what Ling Xiaorou wanted to do most was to show her hand at the banquet in the Palace of Tomorrow.
Anyway, she can't hide her cooking skills if she wants to, so she might as well shine!
When she was fine all day, Ling Xiaorou held a carving knife and kept carving radish flowers.
Although the radish flowers in Jicheng are now famous all over the world, the chefs who have never seen others carve them or even seen the real radish flowers can't imagine the magic of the radish flowers just by imagination.
When the pieces of radishes were placed on the plate and unfolded, they became blooming flowers, even if they had heard the exquisiteness of the radish flowers earlier, the imperial chefs were stunned, and it was only then that they finally seemed to understand the gap between them and Ling Xiaorou.
Ling Xiaorou didn't hide her secrets, she was summoned into the palace to make a banquet for this and that banquet in order not to have anything to do, Ling Xiaorou was willing to mention more of these imperial chefs.
Everyone took a knife, and followed Ling Xiaorou to learn to carve radish flowers one by one, at first they would often carve the radishes, and gradually found some feel, and the carved ones looked good, but they were much worse than Ling Cheng and Ling Xiaomin, after all, they had been carving bamboo with knives since they were children, and their skills were very good.
Ling Xiaorou is not in a hurry, this is not something that can be carved in a day or two, take your time, anyway, there are still more than ten days before the New Year's banquet, so let them carve simple things if they can't do it.
Sure enough, as Ling Xiaorou expected, in the afternoon, the emperor asked people to make an order, and tomorrow's palace banquet will be cooked by Ling Xiaorou, assisted by other imperial chefs, and emphasized that a banquet should be set up in the imperial garden, instead of the Hundred Flowers Hall that Ling Xiaorou heard before, so that Ling Xiaorou could think about how to serve this dish.
After receiving the order, Ling Xiaorou didn't see any dissatisfaction on the faces of these imperial chefs, and their hearts all fell on the radish flowers. Another thing is that they think that they can't make the palace banquet in the imperial garden satisfy the emperor on a cold day.
They all glanced at Ling Xiaorou sympathetically, and then continued to ponder their radish flowers.
