2 lotus root powder, osmanthus sugar cake
Zhu Lan was woken up by Yao Huang, she slept deeply, and when she woke up, she was sleepy-eyed.
"Gege! I can't sleep anymore today, it's time to go to Cining Palace to say goodbye. ”
The green calyx's words suddenly scared Zhu Lan awake, and after being waited for to finish washing, Yao Huang's fingers flew and braided a small two heads for her, and a few hairpins and beads went up, elegant and not outstanding.
Zhu Lan: The mood is a little complicated, and I'm about to meet the big boss in the palace.
After pulling the memory of Wu Ya's family, since the death of Empress Xiao Zhaoren, the highest-ranking person in the palace has become Concubine Tong.
The rear position is vacant, so naturally there is no need to go to the queen to settle the province in the morning and dusk.
However, there are still once or twice a month when I have to go to Cining Palace to ask for peace, and it just so happened that two days before Zhu Lan crossed over, Wu Yashi had just asked for peace, which made Zhu Lan sleep for so many days.
According to the rules of the palace, a low-ranking Gege like Zhu Lan must first meet the lord in the palace, and then go to Cining Palace with the lord behind the lord.
It means that before meeting the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, Zhu Lan must first meet the rumored Concubine Tong.
"Gege, let's eat a few dumplings to pad my stomach first."
If you let Zhu Lan say, the dumplings must be full, but the dumplings in the early Qing Dynasty were too hard, so she put them down after eating two bites.
The green calyx helped her and slowly walked into the front hall of Jingren Palace.
Zhu Lan lowered her eyebrows and walked into the room, leaned over slightly to say goodbye, and then raised her head and looked at the girl sitting with some curiosity.
"Sister Uya."
Tong's voice was light and soft, which was somewhat similar to Wu Nong's soft language in the south in Zhu Lan's impression.
Zhu Lan: I think she's a bit like Sister Lin.
This is true, Concubine Tong is young, thin, pale face, she can't help coughing when she says a few words, she looks like a sick beauty, and she looks even more haggard in a light-colored flag suit.
There were a few Gege who came in behind Zhu Lan, and when they saw that the people were almost together, Concubine Tong led them to the direction of Cining Palace.
It's not that Zhu Lan said that August in Beijing can simply roast her!
She has a low status, so she can only walk all the way, if it weren't for Wu Ya's Baoyi background, her health is still good, I'm afraid that these few steps down, the child will have some problems.
Fortunately, this section of the road is not particularly far, and after walking for about seven or eight minutes, they arrived outside the gate of Cining Palace.
After entering the Cining Palace, Zhu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, without him, there is ice!
Under the scorching heat, many concubines' makeup has been spent, but fortunately, Zhu Lan has been plain for the little guy in her belly since she came, otherwise she would have sweated like a few Gege next to her.
There are few concubines in the palace now, even a small Gege like Zhu Lan has a place, and after she sat down with her waist up, she saw all kinds of pastries on the table.
Zhu Lan burst into tears, she was really starving to death!
The image of the Empress Dowager and Zhu Lan's imagination is very different.
She sat on the top but did not have that graceful and luxurious, not angry and arrogant appearance, but like a kind old lady next door, with a round face, round eyes, and a few concubines with children.
There is now a place in the palace only Concubine Tong Guifei, and then there are four little Fujin.
Zhang Fujin and Dong Fujin both gave birth to daughters for Kangxi, but the princess died early, and she was not fortunate later.
Sitting under Concubine Tong is Wulanala Fujin, that is, the future Concubine Hui. She gave birth to two sons for Kangxi, and the youngest son is now Kangxi's first son, who is now six years old and has been raised outside the palace.
The Empress Dowager exchanged a few words with her, and then turned the topic to the woman under her.
"Folana, I'm also very sad that I'm going to live forever, but you still have to take care of your body, you still have Mo Yaqi and Ten Elder Brothers."
Zhu Lan quietly glanced at Ma Jia Fujin, who was known as Folana, even if she was haggard and pale now, it was difficult to hide the national color, no wonder Kangxi had five sons and one daughter with her in the early stage.
"The concubine knows." Ma Jiashi barely pulled out a smile and bowed his head slightly.
In the end, the successive births still hurt her body, Zhu Lan looked at her and thought of her future life, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
How many children did Concubine De have? She can't remember it clearly!
Zhu Lan thought as she heard her stomach rumbling.
I'm so hungry.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she couldn't help but pick up the snacks on the dish.
There are a few pieces of lotus root flour osmanthus sugar cake on the plate, and the soft and glutinous pastry that looks like Q elastic is sprinkled with osmanthus flowers, which is exquisitely clear, and the fragrance goes straight to Zhu Lan's nose.
One bite was sweet and delicious, and the soft glutinous rice ball was chewed in her mouth, and Zhu Lan couldn't help but eat several bites in a row.
When she looked up when she had almost eaten, she saw the queen looking at her with a smile and the curious eyes of the concubines.
Zhu Lan: ......
It shouldn't be illegal to eat, right?
"It's a good thing that Maro can eat it, but won't you choke on this pastry if you use it too much?"
The Empress Dowager motioned to Aunt Su Mala, who was beside her, to bring Zhu Lan a cup of milk tea.
It is said that the milk tea of the Qing Dynasty court was salty......
Zhu Lan took the teacup from Su Malagu's hand, blew the foam, and drank it in small sips.
How so?
If it is compared with those modern ones with a certain point and a certain hundred ways, the cup of milk tea in Su Malagu's hand is definitely not delicious.
But it is not the same as ordinary milk tea, the fishy smell of milk is suppressed by the salty taste of salt, faint, silky, and actually quite delicious.
It's pastry with milk tea, she definitely has too much sugar today!
The Empress Dowager looked at the woman below who was seriously tasting milk tea, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
Esen's granddaughter is a sincere child, and Xuan Ye can spoil a little more.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a living girl.
It didn't take long to say goodbye, and Zhu Lan felt that she had just come here to rub two mouthfuls of pastries and milk tea from Cining Palace, and she didn't do anything else.
Don't say it, you're pretty full.
It's just that when she went out, she encountered a small episode, and a pregnant woman in a pink flag suit gave her a knife next to her.
Zhu Lan: ?
No, I have no grievances with you, why do you look at me like an enemy?
She subconsciously flipped through Wu Ya's memory, and finally matched the girl in front of her with the person in history.
gave birth to two sons to Kangxi, an unlucky one who didn't live.
I can't say the same, but Nala is really unlucky.
Zhu Lan glanced at her strangely, and slowly followed Concubine Tong back to Jingren Palace.
"Nalagege didn't come well today, but fortunately Gege didn't pay attention to her." The green calyx shook its fan and said slowly.
Zhu Lan: "I have no grievances with her, why did she do this?" ”
She was really speechless.
"Brother Wan Huang had a fever last afternoon...... "Green Calyx pondered for a moment and said softly, "Nalagge sent someone to find Wan Sui Ye, who was here at the time." ”
No wonder, Zhu Lan suddenly realized.
But you have to go to Kangxi about this, what does it matter to her? It wasn't she who kidnapped Kangxi in Jingren Palace!
"Nothing happened to Brother Wan Huang, right?" Zhu Lan said with concern.
"It's been burning for several days, and the Lord Banzai has been there several times before, and the slave maid estimates ......"
Green Calyx paused for a moment, and whispered in Zhu Lan's ear: "I'm afraid it won't work." ”
"It's just that I'm afraid of the child in the belly of Naragage, and the unified words of the imperial doctors need to be well maintained."
Zhu Lan can only sigh that the infant mortality rate in ancient times is really outrageous.
She got up early today, and she was already sleepy after a circle around Cining Palace. Lu Cao and Yao Huang didn't bother her anymore, and the two tiptoed to close the door and set off to count Gege's things.
Last night, the Lord of Long Live issued an order to move to the East Side Palace, and they have to do it today, otherwise if the Lord of Long Live comes again at night, I am afraid that they will be the ones who are the slaves and maids.
After sleeping for nearly two hours, Zhu Lan woke up slowly, her hand gently touched her stomach, and she was suddenly kicked.
Yo, it's quite strong.
Zhu Lan was tired of playing hide and seek with the cub in her belly, feeling the child's reaction to her, and a feeling that was difficult to describe inexplicably welled up in her heart.
Is that what it feels like to be a mother?
"Gege, dinner is in the east side hall today."
Oh yes, her boss changed her house.
Zhu Lan was helped to the east side hall.
Compared with the backyard, the east side hall is much larger, but there are no ornaments in it, so it looks a little empty.
It can't be helped, after all, she's a poor ghost.
As soon as she stepped into the inner room, she saw an uninvited guest sitting on the kang waiting for her arrival.
Zhu Lan: See you again.
When Xuan Ye was greeting Huang Ma Ma today, he happened to hear her mention Wu Ya's family, which reminded him that he promised Wu Ya's family to come to see her more last night, so he drove Jingren Palace.
The meal was already set up on the table, with mushrooms, cabbage and hot and sour gnocchi soup on top.
The Qing Palace has no concept of dinner, this is Zhu Lan's own meal, she is too greedy, and there are cubs in her stomach who are easy to get hungry, so she took the silver and went to order food.
I didn't expect Kangxi to come over, it was a bit of a mistake.
Zhu Lan could only pretend that nothing had happened and moved to Xuan Ye's side and sat down: "Long live the lord." ”
Xuan Ye stared at the bowl of hot and sour pimple soup with interest and smiled: "As the saying goes, sour and spicy girls, your appetite is strange, you can eat everything." ”
Your Majesty! There is no scientific basis for sour and spicy girls!!
Zhu Lan was silent on her face, but the thought had already appeared on her face, and she pouted and scooped a spoonful of pimple soup.
In fact, it is quite delicious, sour and spicy, very refreshing and appetizing.
"Did the little guy mess with you today?"
Xuan Ye's hand touched Zhu Lan's belly, and his eyes showed hope.
"Your Majesty will kick you in a moment." Zhu Lan was feasting as if she had never eaten, and replied to Kangxi delicately and softly.
Xuan Ye just wanted to laugh at her twice, but felt his hand being gently kicked.
This is......
"Baby moves, he likes to play with you." Zhu Lan wiped her mouth clean, "He's quite lively today." ”
This is really a strange feeling for Xuan Ye, he has never experienced the action of a child in his mother's womb, this is the first time.
Baby...... Did his mother call him that when she was pregnant with him......
Xuan Ye's thoughts suddenly became chaotic, and naturally he didn't notice Zhu Lan's somewhat sly eyes
She did it on purpose.
After all, she doesn't want to give birth to a child who she worked so hard to give birth to, so while Kangxi is still young, she may be able to play the emotional card.
Seeing Xuan Ye's somewhat distracted appearance, Zhu Lan couldn't help but nodded, it seemed that her plan was very successful.
