Emperor Chengping saw that the people around him did not move, and a cold look swept over, and Gonggong Wei did not dare to make a mistake, so he obediently went with a bitter face.

Chu Lian was eating the second mini moon cake when he heard his grandfather next to him saluting.

Chu Lian turned his head strangely, and saw a middle-aged eunuch holding a dust whisk behind him.

Gonggong Sun introduced Chu Lian with a smile, "Xiangjun, this is Gonggong Wei, the head of the Great Interior, who is on an errand by the emperor's side. ”

Chu Lian nodded with a smile and calmly called "Manager Wei".

Manager Wei respectfully bowed to Chu Lian, glanced at the small purse she was holding in her hand, and muttered in his heart: My aunt, eat slowly, the emperor is still waiting!

"The townsman will really enjoy, this imperial garden is now this fragrant pavilion is a good place to enjoy the flowers, a few days ago, the queen mother also said, the Mid-Autumn Festival, chrysanthemum and eat cakes, it is really a pleasure. ”

Chu Lian wondered in his heart, it is said that this Gonggong Wei should be a busy person, how can he have time to hang out with her in this pavilion at this time.

Seeing that Father-in-law Wei still had the desire to talk, Chu Lian could only cope with it, "Manager Wei laughed, I just happened to come here, I was hungry, so I stopped to eat a few snacks." Chu Lian looked down at the small purse with snacks in his hand, and said, "What I eat is not a group cake, but some homemade snacks." ”

"Oh, I heard that Xiangjun Hui has a blue heart, but I didn't think that I would make dim sum myself, but I don't know if the slave can have a chance to taste the craftsmanship of Xiangjun. ”

When Gonggong Wei said this, he couldn't help but blush, but "the emperor's order is difficult to disobey"!

Chu Lian was dumbfounded, what? The eunuch in charge of the inner house, whom she had never seen, asked her if she wanted a snack?

Under Chu Lian's strange gaze, Father-in-law Wei shamefully took the small purse containing food in Chu Lian's hand, and then saw Father-in-law Wei bowing deeply to him, and the soles of his feet were oiled...... Ran away......

In the end, only Chu Lian was left standing in the pavilion, stretching out Er Kang's hand and saying, "Grandpa Wei, my purse ......"

It's a pity that Grandpa Wei ran away early at this time.

Chu Lian's face was a little dark, and he asked Grandpa Sun, who was already frozen beside him, "Grandpa Sun, are your internal officials all poor at food in the palace?"

The corners of Grandpa Sun's mouth tugged stiffly, and he could only carry this black cauldron. He still has to be an errand under Grandpa Wei, where do he dare to question Grandpa Wei's words and deeds, but he also wonders in his heart, Grandpa Wei is a celebrity in front of the emperor, even if he wants to eat the best bird's nest abalone every day, why is he not virtuous and greedy for the snacks of other little girls, this sun is coming out of the west?

But people have already slipped away, just a purse for snacks, nothing special, and Chu Lian didn't think about pursuing anything.

Just as he was about to rest for a while and go to the Queen Mother to congratulate the old lady, he saw the county lord of Duanjia walking briskly not far away.

The county lord of Duanjia came to Chu Lian and pulled her up before Chu Lian saluted, "As soon as I entered the palace, I heard from the Queen Mother that you were here in the Imperial Garden, so I looked for it, but I didn't expect to meet you in the Xiangxiang Pavilion." ”

Chu Lian hadn't seen Lord Duanjia for a few days, and he was equally happy to meet him in the palace so early today.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw the county lord of Duanjia blinking a pair of smart eyes looking herself up and down, and finally her eyes fell on her left hand, which was still twisting half a piece of moon cake, and her eyes blinked, "Chu Liu, what are you eating?"

As soon as she asked, Chu Lian couldn't cry or laugh, raised the remaining moon cakes in her hand, and replied truthfully: "The dim sum I made myself is called moon cakes." ”

"Moon cakes, they look delicious, Chu Liu, you actually entered the palace with snacks, why don't you want to prepare one for me!" Duanjia County Lord glared at her with puffed cheeks.

Chu Lian snorted, he really didn't know how to deal with the Duanjia County Lord.

I saw the county lord spreading out the thin white palm in front of her.

Chu Lian looked at Duanjia's face in confusion and then at Duanjia's stretched palm, "County Lord?"

"What do you tell me to do, quickly hand over the food!"

Chu Lian: ......

"It's really unfortunate that the county lord came, it happened that I finished eating, and only this half was left......"

Chu Lian supported her forehead, for Mao, the people around her are all foodies! There are several waves of people to grab a snack!

Lord Duanjia thought for a while, and then snorted arrogantly, "Half a piece is half a piece, I'll just taste it, anyway, you will make it for me in the future, right?"

But the half of it was already stained with her saliva......

In the end, Chu Lian really couldn't do anything, so he handed over the remaining half of the egg yolk mooncake, "If the county lord wants to eat, there is still a box of handmaidens I brought." ”

Lord Duanjia did not shy away from throwing half a moon cake into his mouth, chewed it twice, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Chu Liu, this food called moon cake is much better than group cakes!"

The county lord of Duanjia, who is cold and indifferent on weekdays, didn't expect to have such an innocent and arrogant appearance, and twitched the eyelids of Grandpa Sun on the side.

The two girls sat in the Xiangxiang Pavilion for a while, and Chu Lian was afraid that he would meet some strange people again, so he took the county lord of Duanjia to the Queen Mother's Ninghe Palace.

Not far away, in the blind corner of the Xiangting Pavilion, Emperor Chengping was receiving the small purse presented by Gonggong Wei's hands.

The light color, with a layer of kraft paper inside, is exquisitely made, but there is nothing special, it is just a snack bag prepared by ordinary rich and noble families for children.

When I opened the small purse, I saw that there was only a round delicate snack the size of half an egg lying inside, and the word Fushou was printed on the front of the dim sum, which was exquisite and pleasing.

Twisted out the dim sum and took a bite, Emperor Chengping tasted the taste, and suddenly a pair of deep eyes narrowed, the filling inside was actually salty!

After a closer look, Emperor Chengping found that the core of the dim sum was actually a salted egg yolk.

This girl has a pair of skillful hands.

Gonggong Wei stood behind Emperor Chengping, and the cold sweat on his head broke out, if he didn't know that Jinyi Xiangjun had married San Lang of Jing'an Bo Mansion earlier, then he would have thought that they would be moved by the mortal heart.

"It was a good refreshment. Jin Yi can make such a snack, and it is not surprising that the unique longevity peach is not surprising. ”

"What the emperor said is that Jinyi Xiangjun is really a little different from other boudoir women!"

Emperor Chengping finished eating the moon cakes in two bites, and he didn't know what he remembered, so he laughed, "It's a little different, but her courage is much greater than that of ordinary nobles!"

Gonggong Wei's forehead twitched, but no, the disgusting wriggling black worm in the fresh peach, if it was replaced by another noble girl, if she accidentally saw it, which one didn't scream out in fright, so she also picked out the worm with a big grin, and scared others in turn.

However, thinking of Wei Guifei and her maid who deliberately used insects in fresh peaches to harm people, Gonggong Wei felt that Jinyi Xiangjun who did this was really pleasant.

Chu Lian went to the Queen Mother's Ninghe Palace with the lord of Duanjia.

At this time, the Queen Mother's Ninghe Palace was lively, and the relatives and daughters of the clan were almost all there at this time, because of the delay in the imperial garden for a while, Chu Lian did not have the opportunity to meet the Queen Mother in person, but Princess Wei pulled her to the side and told her.

Princess Wei looked at her daughter Duanjia County Lord and Chu Lian standing together, Chu Lian did not comb the woman's hair bun because she was dressed in the township monarch's regulations today, and stood with Duanjia County Lord, the two were similar in figure, especially from the back, they were clearly a pair of sisters.

Princess Wei smiled and patted Chu Lian's white and tender little hands, "Old Taijun He and the old lady of Zheng Guogong's Mansion are going to accompany the Queen Mother, and you and Duanjia will follow behind the concubine in a while, and after the meal, the ladies of all the mansions will enter the palace for the banquet." ”

Princess Wei's good impression of Chu Lian was obvious, how Chu Lian couldn't feel it, and immediately responded with a smile.

After lunch with the royal ladies and daughters, Chu Lian and Duanjia sat in a corner of the side hall to drink the honey water to eliminate food, and by the way, they watched the noblewomen who were led into the palace by the palace to pay homage to the queen mother.

This grand scene, Chu Lian saw it for the first time, and he couldn't help but observe it carefully.

"County Lord, why do those ladies all carry a food box?" Chu Lian asked curiously.

Lord Duanjia put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at her strangely, a little surprised, "You don't know?"

Chu Lian shook her head suspiciously, she really didn't know, in the original text, the part she watched, Chu Lian had never been to the palace to participate in such a large banquet.

Lord Duanjia rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I see that your brain is used to figure out how to eat! I don't know this! The food boxes in those ladies' hands are full of dough cakes. ”

Under the explanation of the county lord of Duanjia, Chu Lian knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace had the rules of the race cake since Emperor Gaozu.

When the ladies of each province come to meet the queen mother or the queen, they will bring a plate of cakes prepared by themselves, and then there will be palace ladies to put the cakes of each province on the table of worship, and at the end of the banquet, everyone will choose the best cakes, and the mansion that wins the championship will have a reward.

Today's Queen Mother likes this part of the Mid-Autumn Festival every year.

Chu Lian was a little funny, he didn't expect such an interesting story at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace.

"I don't know which one won the championship last year?" Chu Lian asked casually.

Lord Duanjia took a sip of tea and glanced at her, "Pan Mansion." ”

Pan Mansion Pan Pavilion Old Mansion?

Chu Lian had a hint of suspicion on his face.

Lord Duanjia stared at her expression and laughed, "Chu Liu, you are still quite sensitive, to tell you, not only last year, but also the year before and the year before last, it was also this Pan Mansion that won the championship at the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Chu Lian's eyes widened slightly, and he already secretly had a plan in his heart.

Lord Duanjia didn't bother her to think, but continued: "Last year, Mrs. Pan presented a plate of hazelnut-flavored dough cakes. ”

Lord Duanjia stretched out his hand and pointed at it from afar, "Nong, the one over there in a purple gown is Mrs. Pan." ”

Looking in the direction of the Duanjia County Lord's finger, he saw a middle-aged lady with a round face and willow eyebrows, her face was white, her lips were slightly thick, and she would show eight snow-white teeth when she smiled, and she always smiled slightly when she talked to people, which was very good for people.

Chu Lian couldn't help but think of the scene when he went to Guilinju that day and met his father blocking the gate of Pan's Mansion.

Just when Chu Lian fell into his thoughts, he suddenly heard a mocking shout.
