14 French fries
It was different from the situation in the Shura field imagined by Zhu Lan, the Empress Dowager at the top looked calm, and as soon as Xuan Ye's words fell, she followed up and ordered the palace maids on the side to reward Guo Luo Luo and Borzigit with many objects, and talked with the Empress Dowager on the side in Mongolian from time to time, and did not seem to take what had just happened to heart.
Zhu Lan was still a little disappointed that she didn't see the imaginary drama, but soon she shifted her attention to the center of the venue.
Because it was a family banquet, the children who were raised in the palace arrived. The eldest brother and the eldest brother stood on both sides, and they led the younger brothers and sisters behind them to salute the three elders at the top and said a series of auspicious words.
Unlike the three and five grids standing behind the big brother, only Yinzhen's nurse and Yinzhen who was held in his arms stood behind the big brother.
The third elder brother Yinzhi is still living outside the palace, and the second in line is sitting on Kangxi's lap and whispering to him.
The monarch and the minister are distinct.
Zhu Lan glanced at Concubine Hui slightly, just in time to see her gently squeeze the silk handkerchief in her hand.
Yinhe is already seven years old, and he now has a general idea of the monarch and the minister's brothers, so his face is faintly unsightly in the face of the prince sitting on the top.
If you want Zhu Lan to say, Prince Kangxi has simply buried a huge trouble for his life in the next few decades, not to mention that his super long standby time has turned the little prince's high-spirited teenager into a madman, let's just say that the thunder that his more than ten sons buried for His Royal Highness the prince is not ordinary.
In this case, as a more emotional emperor, he still wants to reunite with his family, and his sons are all promising, which is simply forcing the prince to a dead end.
Zhu Lan kept complaining in her heart, but on the surface, she still maintained a gentle appearance like water.
I have to say that after almost a year in the palace, she still has a little improvement in the end, and finally she will no longer write her thoughts on her face.
The Dragon Boat Banquet did not last long, and the Empress Dowager showed a trace of fatigue in about half an hour, and Concubine Tong on the side reacted quickly, and immediately said that the weather was a little hot, and the Empress Dowager took this excuse to disperse the palace banquet.
As soon as the palace banquet ended, Xuan Ye followed Yigui Gege to Yikun Palace, making the concubines almost bite a mouthful of silver teeth.
If you are pregnant, you still come out to compete for favor, which is really not a way to live!
Zhu Lan didn't have any feelings, and as soon as she returned to the palace, she was full of interest and asked Poria to get the five-color silk, and tied the brightly colored ribbon to Yinzhen's white and tender arm.
The Dragon Boat Festival has the habit of wearing a colorful rope, which can not only avoid evil spirits, dispel diseases and eliminate disasters, but also prolong life, so the colorful rope is called longevity.
The Yongzheng Emperor in history seems to have died young not long after he ascended the throne, Zhu Lan thought of this and glanced at Yinzhen, who was still stupid, and couldn't help but tie the colored thread in his hand more tightly.

There are not many people who can see it like Zhu Lan, and most of them have a lot of complaints about Yi Quaker.
But there is an exception in this group, and that is the Borzigit clan who lives in the Xianfu Palace. After she left the palace banquet, she walked all the way back to the dormitory, took off her outfit and immediately went to bed.
"Gege!" The palace maid on the side was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "Just now, the Guo Luo Luo clan stepped on the faces of you and the Empress Dowager to the ground, you are not in a hurry!" ”
Gina yawned, stretched, and squinted lazily: "I have nothing to hurry, my aunt and grandmother are not in a hurry." ”
"Their emperor of the Qing Dynasty doesn't like our Mongolian women for a day or two, what's the use of being anxious, is it possible that I can still tie people to Xianfu Palace?" Gina's cat-eyes widened.
"Ulan, don't you see that the eyes of those women are about to stick to the emperor? They looked at Yi Kuigege like a wolf when they saw a fawn, and they wanted to eat her, how scary! ”
Ulan sighed, I'm afraid that the master in front of him is really not long-hearted, there are countless battles in this harem, if she, the master who has no heart, is not protected by the Queen Mother, I am afraid that there will not be many bones left.
"I think that concubine is quite interesting, she is good-looking, her eyes are clean, and the way I shoot arrows always reminds me of Kikige." Gina couldn't help but grin.
Kikige is Gina's five-year-old sister.
Ulan tugged at the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but say, "Gege, you said before that the women in the palace are not good at stubble." ”
"How can that be the same!" Gina retorted loudly, "I haven't seen her much before, so how did I know she's so funny?" ”
"Didn't my aunt always say that I was too bored to be alone in the palace, so let me make a few more friends in the palace? I think Concubine De Niangniang is very good, and I am willing to make friends with her! ”
Gina said excitedly as she put on her shoes and socks and ran out.
"Gege, where are you going?" Ulan didn't look at any of them, and Gina ran out of the dormitory like a gust of wind, and she was exhausted from following behind.
"Prepare a gift for Concubine De, don't you want a gift to make friends?" Gina replied loudly.
*
Making friends is a gift, but when Zhu Lan received a lot of gold chopsticks, gold bowls and various gold jewelry, she couldn't help but gasp.
That's gold!!
Zhu Lan had never seen so much gold, it could be piled up into a small mountain. But when she turned her head to look at Borzigit Gege, and saw the gold ornaments on her body, she was suddenly relieved.
She's a rich woman?
"Borzigit Gege......" Zhu Lan was interrupted by Gina before he could finish speaking.
"My name is Gina, which means dawn in Mongolian." Gina licked her lips and pushed all the golden jewelry on the table in front of Zhu Lan, blinding her eyes again.
"Alright, Gina Gege." Zhu Lan held back the excitement in her heart, "The Han people have a saying that there is no merit and no luck, and I dare not accept so many things." ”
It's not that you don't dare, not that you don't want to
Come on! Who can refuse so much gold! Although Zhu Lan said that she didn't want to, her eyes kept staring at the gold nugget in front of her, and she couldn't help but be in awe of Gina Gege in her heart.
This is really a serious rich woman, no wonder she doesn't care about Kangxi's favor at all!
"I am a Mongol, you are a Manchu, what do you do by listening to the Han people?" Gina looked at Zhu Lan curiously, and the words she said made her unable to refute for a while.
"Besides, I want to make friends with you, and to make friends, I have to show sincerity, these are my sincerity!" Gina pushed the gold forward again, and the gold nuggets like a mountain had already piled up in Zhu Lan's hand.
Zhu Lan felt that it would be rude for her to refuse again. But she really couldn't accept all the gold in front of her, so she picked out a few particularly beautiful gold ornaments from the gold mountain on the table and said, "I am willing to make you a friend, but I can't accept so many things." ”
Gina was a little sullen when she saw that she had only picked a few of them, and hung her head like a puppy in the rain. But after hearing what Zhu Lan said, her eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Really? That's great! ”
Zhu Lan couldn't help but smile and bend her eyebrows: "Of course it's true." ”
Who wouldn't love such a fresh and vibrant life?
"Since we're friends, let's try something new I've invented." Zhu Lan saw the little eunuch who walked in with a food box, and naturally took Gina's hand, her hand was not as delicate as the woman in the palace, and there was a thin layer of cocoons in her palm, which should have been left from riding a horse and shooting arrows on the grassland.
The only advantage of being the head of the first palace is that she has her own small kitchen, and the cook Zhu Lan in it simply chose the cook who often cooked for her when she was still Gege. After all, it was difficult to find a bosom friend who could understand her endless novel ideas, so she directly took the old eunuch and his apprentice from the imperial dining room.
Yao Huang opened the food box and took out the white porcelain plate inside.
On top of the white porcelain dish are fried golden and crispy fries, just the right thickness, and there is still steaming on top. A small dish next to it is lined with a thick red sauce that wafts out a sweet and sour taste.
"What is this?" Gina curiously picked up a french fry, followed Zhu Lan's example and gently dipped it in the sauce, and when she took a bite, she felt salty, salty and sweet, and there was an indescribable deliciousness.
"It's a potato."
Zhu Lan stuffed French fries into her mouth, feeling that her body was bubbling with happiness.
The old and familiar taste made her eyes squint happily, and she and Gina were eating French fries while drinking brewed honey grapefruit tea, and the sweet taste relieved the tiredness of French fries.
It's a pity that there is no Coke yet. Summer is a good day to drink Coke Sprite! She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the cooking, but she was already very happy to be able to eat French fries!
Gina's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, Concubine De Niangniang is really an interesting person, not only is she interesting, but she is also so interesting in terms of food!
The two of them ate French fries, and drank a lot of honey grapefruit tea, and when they ate about it, their lower abdomen was slightly bulging.
Zhu Lan: Damn, I didn't hold back today!
The strange feeling between her and Gina disappeared immediately after eating the fries together, and Zhu Lan also took Yinzhen out for Gina to play.
Gina skillfully hugged Yinzhen, saw Zhu Lan's curious eyes and said with a smile: "I often take my younger brothers and sisters when I am at home, and I am skilled in holding children!" ”
The memories in her eyes suddenly made Zhu Lan feel a little distressed, the girl in front of her left the familiar grassland and came to the capital, how could it not be a kind of imprisonment for her? Since then, she has never been able to run on the wide grasslands, and she has rarely seen her parents and friends.
"Concubine De, why are you looking at me with such an expression?" Gina blinked.
Zhu Lan couldn't help but say: "You call me Lan Lan, this is my name." ”
Zhu Lan was a little nervous, this was the first time she had told the name Lan to someone since she came to this era, she looked at Gina tightly and couldn't help but grab her hand.
"Sister Lanlan." Gina was as good as a stream, and when she laughed, she showed two small tiger teeth.
Zhu Lan heard this name for the first time in a long time, and her eyes almost filled with tears. But in order not to let people find out about her abnormality, she still tried to suppress the sourness in her heart and answered softly.
She is Zhu Lan, not Wu Ya Malu.
