Chapter Eighty-Seven: Face Saint
Plus more sent.,I like the code word fast myself.,Hahaha!)
When Chu Lian was embarrassed to be helped up from the ground by Grandpa Sun, and turned his head to look back, King Jin was still standing on the steps, with a pair of blue eyes not looking in her direction, Chu Lian seemed to find a trace of an imperceptible smile in his gaze.
After sorting out the clothes on his body, Chu Lian stomped his feet lightly in annoyance, and he didn't dare to look back again, and he was afraid of falling down again, so this time he obediently followed behind Grandpa Sun and walked slowly.
King Jin turned around, and at an angle that Chu Lian couldn't see, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise the arc slightly.
With such a temperamental Chu Lian, he suddenly didn't believe that she would have a private meeting with Xiao Bojian.
Could it be that her friend He Saburo has some misunderstanding about her?
Father-in-law Sun took Chu Lian to Tingyuxuan in the Imperial Garden.
I only heard him say: "Your Majesty, the king of Jinyi Township has arrived." ”
Gonggong Sun reported, stepped aside, and gave up the place to Chu Lian.
Chu Lian lowered his eyes slightly, knelt down and asked the Emperor Chengping of the Dawu Dynasty: "Chu Lian greets the emperor." ”
Suddenly, a burst of laughter like silver bells sounded, "The emperor's newly crowned Jinyi Township Monarch is a courtesy. ”
Emperor Chengping on his head also laughed, his voice was low and magnetic, and there was a sense of majesty, Chu Lian only listened to Emperor Chengping say: "Okay, don't make fun of this girl." ”
Chu Lian hung his head slightly, but his eyes flashed, Guifei?
Chu Lian's face immediately turned bitter, she really didn't want to do anything, but she came to something, Princess Le Yao looked at her unpleasantly on the front foot, and when she entered the palace on the back foot, she saw Princess Le Yao's biological mother, Wei Guifei?
"Get up, raise your head and let me see. ”
Emperor Chengping seems to be in a good mood today, and there is a touch of leisurely in his words.
Chu Lian got up, slowly raised his head, and glanced at the two people sitting upright.
Emperor Chengping was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, he was middle-aged, but his figure was not out of shape, and he had a pair of eyes that people couldn't see.
The beautiful woman beside him in a purple gorgeous palace dress was about twenty years old, tall and slender, and her full breasts were highlighted by the high-waisted and corseted palace clothes, proud and straight. This is the most favored Wei Guifei today, Wei Guifei has exquisite makeup, smeared red lipstick, thousands of phoenixes, the tails of her eyes are slightly upturned, and when she looks at Chu Lian, it makes people seem to think that she is looking at her.
Chu Lian just raised her head and hurriedly glanced at the two high-ranking people in front of her before lowering her head again, because the movements were too fast, she didn't even see the expressions of Emperor Chengping and Wei Guifei.
Emperor Chengping's peaceful face was slightly stunned after seeing Qing Lian's appearance, and his deep pool-like eyes flashed slightly, instantly overshadowing this different look, as if he was instantly surprised and did not exist.
Wei Guifei smiled and held Emperor Chengping's sturdy arm, deliberately rubbed her chest on her arm, and said with a smile: "This palace didn't expect that the girl from the British Mansion is not only good at birth, but also has a good look, and the He family Saburo is lucky." ”
With that, she giggled again.
Chu Lian lowered his head and frowned slightly, from the perspective of others, Wei Guifei's words may be nothing, but it is just a harmless joke.
But Chu Lian heard the mockery. Gaomen noblewoman, who wants to be told things with her belly, if it weren't for the decline of the British government, no one would dare to say this in front of the girl of the Chu family.
Emperor Chengping stared at the girl with her head hanging down, and suddenly frowned.
"Jinyi, I heard that you can make longevity peaches, and that longevity peach is different from the previous ones, you can confuse the real with the fake, today's festival, why don't you make a plate of longevity peaches in front of me to add icing on the cake?"
Chu Lian didn't expect Emperor Chengping to have such a request, but it's not surprising to think about it. On the day of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, that plate of longevity peaches slapped the wife of the Dingyuan Marquis Shizi, and was praised by the old Shou Xinggong Dingyuan Marquis, and it is not surprising that it has been spread all over the rich circle in Beijing.
Chu Lian agreed without a moment's hesitation, and when Grandpa Sun heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Chu Lian about the ingredients he needed.
Emperor Chengping was momentarily surprised, he didn't expect this girl to agree so quickly, but the people of the time regarded the secret recipe as important, and if they got a secret recipe, they got a fortune.
Chu Lian listened to Yuxuan making longevity peaches in public here, which meant that she was seen by so many people, and the secret recipe would definitely be leaked, didn't she care at all?
Emperor Chengping seems to be a little satisfied with this rather generous little girl.
If Chu Lian knew that Emperor Chengping was just using this sentence to test her character, he would definitely roll his eyes in his heart, making longevity peach is also called a secret recipe, she lacks everything, and what she lacks most now is silver, but the secret recipe is not lacking.
Emperor Chengping wanted ten, and she could write to Emperor Chengping without blinking.
Wei Guifei's eyes turned cold, she glanced at the personal maid beside her, her nails lightly knocked on the handle of the seat, and the maid saw it, lowered her head and quietly retreated.
After a while, Grandpa Sun brought in all the ingredients that Chu Lian needed and placed them on a wooden table specially moved in the room, and a special stove was placed next to it, which could be used to put the kind of small steamer that was unique to the palace.
There was a maid standing behind Chu Lian, who looked like she was coming to be her helper.
Emperor Chengping looked at the hall, and his eyes fell on the maid who was standing respectfully behind Chu Lian, "Concubine, how do I think the maid behind Jin Yi is a little familiar." ”
Wei Guifei was stunned, she didn't expect Emperor Chengping's memory to be so good, and the maid was in her palace.
Wei Guifei's face did not change at all, "This maid is from the palace of the concubine, she serves the concubine's soup on weekdays, she is a girl with superb cooking skills, and the concubine is afraid that others will not be satisfied, so she specially sought her to help Jinyi." ”
Emperor Chengping pinched Wei Guifei's slender hand, "Concubine Ai has a heart." Jinyi, don't let down the concubine's heart, you have to behave well. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chu Lian calmly began to deal with the ingredients in front of him, and the maid also stepped forward to help.
Although Chu Lian suspected that Wei Guifei had moved something, even if she had a small movement in front of Emperor Chengping, it would not be so obvious, so she was careful when handling every ingredient.
Wei Guifei looked at Chu Lian who was in good order below, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her eyes blinked quickly, and she happened to be seen by the maid who raised her head slightly.
Wei Guifei said fakely: "I really didn't expect that Jin Yi is so familiar with these cooking things, I heard that you will make some snacks, it is better to end it in a while, just stay in the imperial dining room and teach your skills to the imperial chef, which can be regarded as doing your part for the royal family." ”
Before Chu Lian could answer, a female voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Wei Guifei, it seems inappropriate for you to say this, right? No matter what, Jinyi is also a noble daughter, and now she has been named a township monarch by the emperor, you let the family stay to teach the imperial cook, isn't it insulting our royal face?"
Wei Guifei's eyes were fixed on the woman in the bright yellow dress who walked in from the door, and there was obviously a cluster of angry flames in her eyes.
She sneered, "My sister asked the queen to say goodbye, but I didn't expect the queen to help her talk when she saw Jinyi for the first time, and after a while, Jinyi should thank the queen's sister." ”
Empress Shen curled the corners of her mouth, turned her head and saluted in the direction of Emperor Chengping, and Chu Lian had to stop what she was doing at this time and salute the queen who suddenly appeared.
The smile on Emperor Chengping's face disappeared, "Empress, why are you here?"
"The concubine heard that the emperor summoned Jinyi, and she also wanted to come and join in the fun, no, fortunately, the concubine came in time, otherwise she would have missed the wonderful place. ”
"Now that you're here, sit down!"
Even though Concubine Wei was unwilling, the position of the queen was still pressed on her head, and in front of the queen, she could only stupidly let go of the position where she was originally sitting side by side with Emperor Chengping, and sat down under Emperor Chengping instead.
When the two women looked at each other, they immediately saw a sword light.
Emperor Chengping rubbed his eyebrows and waved his hand to let Chu Lian continue, but he had long lost his previous interest.
Wei Guifei suddenly smiled at Empress Shen, with a hint of provocation in that smile, and then looked at Chu Lian below.
Chu Lian was upset from Xinping, her imperial power was not heavy, even if there were the three giants watching her make food, she was just an ordinary spectator, and there was not much psychological pressure. She is serious about doing things, especially when it comes to eating, an old grandmother who taught her to cook in the past talked to her, and the meals made by serious people are the best.
So once she devotes herself to making food, she is extraordinarily serious, and people who devote themselves to work wholeheartedly can always give people a good impression, and Emperor Chengping's heart was also broken up because of Chu Lian's seriousness because of the irritability of Empress Shen's arrival.
He looked at Chu Lian who was invested below with satisfaction, and there was a little more appreciation in his heart.
Chu Lian reconciled the noodles, and the maid next to him had already washed the two bright and delicious peaches and put them beside Chu Lian for later use.
Because there is no ready-made peach-flavored concentrated juice, Chu Lian can only take the fruit to extract the juice and mix it into flour, so that the steamed longevity peach has the sweet fruity aroma of fresh peaches.
She picked up a knife and began to peel and cut the peaches.
When Wei Guifei saw Chu Lian's movements, the corners of her mouth curled up maliciously.
"Ah!!h
The next moment, a frightened shrill female voice pierced through the entire Tingyuxuan in the Imperial Garden......
