It doesn't matter what you give, it's a good smell to give you a night's sleep.

What's more, the queen was not favored in the old years, but now it is the same as opening the hanging, and in the rest of the month, she has slept two or three times.

Even the queen herself couldn't believe it, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that every time she sleeps, it has something to do with Du Zhiyan directly or indirectly.

"Du Chang is looking at me." The queen is served by Guiyuan to comb her hair, the queen's complexion in the bronze mirror is much better than before, she used to get up early and sit on the soft couch and began to doze off, and now her energy has been better for a long time, the queen in the mirror has bright eyes and bright teeth, and her eyes reveal bright light.

Even the Queen Mother couldn't help but say to Aunt Guan in private: "At the beginning, the queen didn't grow up, she had no favor for many years, and the mourning family felt that the Wei family was hopeless, so she let Zhaoning enter the palace." Now that Zhaoning has just entered the palace, the queen has been summoned by the emperor several times, but I don't know if it is not the good fortune brought by Zhaoning. ”

"The queen mother, the slave maid heard that this time it was because the queen sent a delicious meal to the emperor, and the emperor was happy, so he let the queen mother go to bed."

"What did the queen offer?"

"I heard it's dumplings."

The Queen Mother was puzzled, dumplings are not a rare thing, and Taihe Palace is not nothing.

"I heard that it is wild vegetable dumplings, the emperor is the son of heaven, and everything he eats is of the highest quality, so naturally I have never tasted these wild game in the countryside."

"How can the queen know about the game of the countryside?"

"I heard that Du Chang of the Yongfu Palace is making it, the queen eats well, and gives the emperor some more, and the emperor also likes to eat it."

The Queen Mother secretly pondered, this Du is only speechless, the wooden work is known all over the palace, and now he is a cook again?

Her father is a five-grade superintendent of the imperial history, and he is also a young lady of the official eunuch family, why does he have so many other aspects of craftsmanship? The Queen Mother was also a little curious: "I think when I was a girl in my family, my family was rich, I had two or three Zhuangzi in my family, and I occasionally went to Zhuangzi, and I also tasted wild vegetables. If you are free, you go to the Yongfu Hall to see, if there is anything fresh to eat, let Du Changzai get a little bit for the mourning family, let the mourning family taste it, her craftsmanship is not as good as you say. ”

Changle Palace.

Because of the queen's bed, Meng Yuzhu's face became more and more unsightly.

I heard that it was because the emperor ate the wild vegetable dumplings given by the queen that he left the queen to sleep, and Meng Yuzhu's mind began to liven up.

slipped Tian Lingyue into the main hall, and Meng Yuzhu specially prepared two fruits for her.

Tian Lingyue sat on the chair and didn't dare to eat.

Meng Yuzhu pushed the fruit in front of Tian Lingyue: "What else is polite to this palace?" ”

Tian Lingyue had to eat the fruit carefully.

There was no merit, and sure enough, the fruit was still in the throat, Meng Yuzhu said: "I heard that Du Changzai is making a good meal, and it is popular again, and the queen's servants rely on her, what kind of game and wild food, but it is a rough thing, this palace remembers that your family background is not good, your father's official position is low, and your mother was just a tailor of clothes, you have lived in the suburbs since you were a child, and you have also eaten those coarse game, right?" ”

Tian Lingyue felt a sour throat, the fruit was a fine fruit, but it was difficult to swallow.

Meng Yuzhu investigated her to the bottom, and even knew that she lived in the suburbs and countryside when she was a child, so it seems that she must have a plan.

"Hui Niangniang, I have eaten one or two of those wild meats, and after a long time, I don't remember them clearly."

"I'll get some wild vegetables, and I'll taste them first." Meng Yuzhu's eyelids lifted, and cashew nuts came out of nowhere to bring a few baskets, the baskets contained green camellia, dark green radish seedlings, green dandelions, and a few wild pigeons, a white turtledove, and half a basket of quail eggs.

The wild vegetables in the warm house in the palace have been plucked clean by the people of the Yongfu Palace.

These game, or entrusted people from the imperial dining room daily purchase to get over, but also fresh and lovely, no less than the raw materials in Du Zhiyan's hands, especially the half basket of quail eggs, it cost almost two taels of silver, I heard that they are all wild quail eggs, the yolk is big and fragrant, very precious, ordinary people do not often eat, occasionally for the Queen Mother to stew in the soup will put one.

Tian Lingyue was a little cramped.

She has lived a hard life and eaten wild vegetables, but it is one thing to eat, and it is another thing to do. God knows how Du Zhiyan can make that kind of delicious dumplings.

Meng Yuzhu stroked the basket of greens, and turned to look at the cramped Tian Lingyue: "You also know that this palace doesn't like useless people the most. In this palace, you can live in Changle Palace, and you can live next to this palace, only you, do you understand the meaning of this palace? ”

Tian Lingyue felt that her face was hot, as if she had been seen through by Meng Yuzhu.

Meng Yuzhu seemed to be discussing with her, but in Changle Palace, there was never the word "consultation", and Meng Yuzhu's words were orders. Tian Lingyue had no other way than to do it.

Carrying a bunch of game to the small kitchen, Tian Lingyue and the servants of the entire side hall thought about how to do those dull and non-greasy game without oil and water.

After more than two hours of busy work, the sun darkened, the moon floated to the roof, the moonlight and snow intersected all over the hall, and the silvery white light and the biting cold of the place came up.

Tian Lingyue came to the main hall with the prepared shepherd's cabbage dumplings in both hands, and raised the shepherd's cabbage dumplings above her head with low eyebrows.

The shepherd's cabbage dumplings have just been steamed, but there is a smell of the fragrance of the shepherd's cabbage, and in this snowy night, the cold is pressing, and the steaming hot shepherd's cabbage dumplings make people have a little appetite.

Meng Yuzhu nested on the soft couch of fox feathers, pillow with goose feather soft pillows, served by the palace maid cashew nuts to beat her legs, and she was going to fall asleep when she waited for wild food, the hall was warm, and she vaguely heard the cashew nuts say that the wild vegetables were good, Meng Yuzhu was strong, took a deep breath of the agarwood incense in the room, helped Xiao Ji to sit up slowly, stroked the armor wearing golden gems, raised her sleepy eyelids leisurely, and slowly looked at Tian Lingyue who was kneeling next to the charcoal basin.

Tian Lingyue cautiously held the vegetable dumplings, and did not dare to raise her head.

Meng Yuzhu sniffed and felt that there seemed to be a special fragrance wafting in the hall, and this smell was a little similar to the taste in Jingren Palace.

She knew that it was the taste of shepherd's cabbage.

Look at the food on the plate, although it is made of wild vegetables, it seems to be mixed with a few red wolfberries, the flowers are red and willow green, and the color is beautiful.

"It's true that I've spent time in the country, and this thing looks decent. I knew that there were many talents in this palace, but it was just cooking, and Du Zhiyan must not be the only one. There was a smile on the corner of Meng Yuzhu's mouth, which slowly hooked up like a crescent: "Tell me, what are you doing here?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, this is a shepherd's cabbage dumpling."

"Tuanzi, Tuan Tuan Reunion, this name is also good." Meng Yuzhu was interested: "It's been more than two hours, it's getting dark, it seems that Tian promised you that you have worked hard." Come, take a palace to taste, if it's delicious, Ming'er this palace will also send a few to Taihe Palace, and the cheap can't let those hooves take over. ”

Cashew nuts hurriedly brought a small plate and a golden fork, forked a vegetable ball into the small plate, and held it to Meng Yuzhu's lips diligently.

Meng Yuzhu took a bite with a smile, and her face suddenly felt a thunderbolt on the sunny day.

When I smelled it again, I almost vomited all the food I had eaten the other day.

Look at the appearance of this vegetable dumpling, it's okay, how can it taste like chewing a rag?

"The dumplings made of wild vegetables are naturally vulgar, they are all eaten by the poor people, and there are also some that are not very appetizing, if the mother dislikes it, I will make two fine ones for the mother." Tian Lingyue saw that Meng Yuzhu's face was wrong, and quickly lowered her head.

Meng Yuzhu picked up another piece of shepherd's cabbage dumplings and chewed it, her face was not as good as just now.

The limelight is not right.

The alarm sounded in Changle Palace.

The eunuchs and palace maids consciously retreated, and no one dared to make a little noise.

"Tian promised, how did you make this camellia dumpling?"

"Hui Niangniang, the shepherd's cabbage dumplings are steamed out of the shepherd's cabbage and flour, the shepherd's cabbage is the fresh shepherd's cabbage in the Niangniang's palace, the flour, is the fine powder sent by the Internal Affairs Office, the wolfberry, is the tribute over there, are all good things, I thought, these things are too light, the vegetable dumplings made must be bland, I remember that when I was a child, my mother would put a little oil and water into it to have an endless aftertaste, so I used a wild pigeon, a quail and a chicken to simmer the soup, and made the dumplings with this soup base and noodles......"

"I thought you were very talented, it seems that I lifted you up." Meng Yuzhu threw down the golden fork, grabbed a shepherd's cabbage dumpling and threw it into the charcoal basin: "Just this hard vegetable dumpling, the dog can't gnaw it, and you can't make it." ”

Tian Lingyue hurriedly bowed down and knelt down.

Meng Yuzhu grabbed another vegetable dumpling, and the more she looked at Tian Lingyue, the more angry she became, so she simply threw the vegetable dumpling on Tian Lingyue's head: "This kind of thing is given to this palace to eat, do you want to choke someone to death?" Stupid thing. ”

The vegetable dumplings were hot and hot, and Tian Lingyue's face was suddenly burned red, and it hurt hotly.

Tian Lingyue endured it and didn't dare to move.

Outside the curtain, the wind was roaring, and the snow was falling again.

On a lonely winter night, in a lonely palace, Tian Lingyue knelt there, holding back her tears and not letting her tears fall.

Cashew nuts brought Meng Yuzhu a bowl of ginseng soup, held it carefully and said, "It's cold, Niangniang rest early, don't be angry." Those vulgar things are not eaten by such a noble person as Niangniang, but Du Changzai is too restless, after the emperor named her Changzai, she will be restless in the Yongfu Palace, the food in each palace is taken care of by the small kitchens of each palace, and I have never heard of a palace concubine who can buy and sell food in the palace. ”

"You're thin-eyed, too." Meng Yuzhu can still drink ginseng soup: "Because of the meals she cooked, the emperor summoned the queen, our Changle Palace, who has the ability to make wild vegetables?" ”

The cashew nuts didn't dare to squeak.

In the second half of the night, Tian Lingyue dragged her heavy body back to the side hall.

The charcoal fire in the side hall has been extinguished, and the room is cold.

Through the window, I watched the octagonal palace lamps under the corridor swaying in the wind, and the snowflakes were wrapped in the lights one by one.

The brocade is cold, and the heart is even cooler.

A candle flame and a bronze mirror.

Tian Lingyue sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the red on her face, which was the mark of being burned by the vegetable balls.

For the women in the palace, posture is particularly important. Tian Lingyue's congenital posture was insufficient, so it was easy to get to the position she promised, and moved to the side hall of Changle Palace, not wanting Meng Yuzhu to be angry for a while, she threw the hot vegetable dumplings in her face, she didn't dare to resist, and she didn't dare to cry out in pain, so she endured it and went back to the room.

The palace maid Mangosteen had already brought warm water and a towel to serve, and seeing Tian Lingyue's face red and swollen like this, Mangosteen choked up a little: "Master, the slave maid looks at your swollen face, why don't the slave maid go and ask a doctor to take a look?" ”

Tian Lingyue shook her head: "It's too late, I invited the imperial doctor, and the whole palace will know about it tomorrow." ”

"But ......"

"Just apply some ointment, don't make a noise."

Tian Lingyue opened the ointment, picked a little bit of the silver hairpin and wiped it in the palm of her hand, and then gently covered her face, only to feel that her face was hot and painful, as if some insect had penetrated into her flesh, she held the silver hairpin in her hand tightly, so that she didn't scream, and I don't know how long it took, she raised her head and quietly looked at herself in the bronze mirror, although she was not white and beautiful, but she also had long hair and waist, there was a feeling of small jasper, but her face was so red, it was unsightly, I don't know if there would be a scar, Tian Lingyue sighed, Apply another layer of ointment.

"It's all to blame that Du Chang is here, he is always there in the palace, there are good fortunes, rewards, and slaves to serve, why do you have to toss any food, now it's good, let the master suffer in vain, kneeling in the main hall for so long, I don't know if the wound on my face can be healed."

"If it doesn't work, then I'll scratch it." Tian Lingyue held the silver hairpin and gently swiped it across her face, the cold touch of the silver hairpin was like a cold insect crawling on her face.

Mangosteen was stunned with fright, and knelt directly in front of Tian Lingyue: "Master, don't scare the slave and maid...... The master still has to serve the emperor, how can he not think about it like this. If your face is broken, there is no way out in the future. ”

Tian Lingyue thought, of course, it is best not to leave a scar, if you really leave a scar, you will not be favored in the future, then you can only do nothing, scratch your face to ask for the emperor's mercy, and you can also pull the concubine in the main hall into the water, maybe she still has a chance of life.

The wind outside the curtain is cool to the bone.

Snowflakes followed the window into the side hall.

A cool breeze blew Tian Lingyue's black hair, her black hair flew like a snake, and her eyes in the bronze mirror were unusually tough.

Yongfu Temple.

Because Du is not stingy, the people below are scrambling to work for her.

The servants of the Internal Affairs Office will send some vegetables to the Yongfu Hall every day, one is Du Zhiyan's own money, and the other is Du Zhiyan's people who buy it.

Every time someone from the Internal Affairs Office sent something good, Du only said that he would reward the eunuch who ran errands with half a penny.

Therefore, as soon as I heard that it was an errand for Du Chang of the Yongfu Palace, not only the compradors of the Internal Affairs Office, but also those little eunuchs who ran errands, were also lined up to find this job.

The number of people who stir-fry in the small kitchen of Yongfudian has quickly grown from one to three, plus one who plays lotus and chops vegetables.

As soon as the morning dawned, I received the dishes sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the small kitchen washed and washed, cut and cut, carrots, white radish, perilla, and fresh shrimp were put on the plate one by one for later use, and there were two small casseroles on the fire, one stewed with red dates and white fungus soup, and the other stewed with pheasant and yam soup, and the smoke in the small kitchen was full of smoke, and the fragrance was far away.

Du only said that he was lying on the case, holding the brush and thinking for a long time, before he wrote on the wooden card: pheasant and yam soup is a hanging money, red dates and white fungus soup are half hanging money, and sweet potato leaves are half hanging money.

Shi Jing stared at the words on the wooden sign, and then looked at the floating heads outside the curtain, and couldn't help but worry about Du Weiyan. This is obviously in short supply.
