Chapter 24


Although the second princess was not as favored as the eldest princess from Concubine Zheng, she was Sima Rui's biological daughter after all.

Sima Rui felt uncomfortable when she died young, so he only sat with Yu Fuyi for a while before returning to Qianqing Palace.

She was not invited to sleep with her, and she never came over for the next three days.

When Yu Fuyi had time, she embroidered the purse she promised to Sima Yan.

It contained the gold pocket watch sent by Yu Shaoyi and hung it on his belt.

After the ritual was over and he went to the study room, he was "reticent" in front of the eldest prince and the second prince.

He showed off so much that the eldest prince and the second prince's eyes turned red with envy, and they all ran to Sima Rui.

Sima Rui had no choice but to ask Song Xiaoxi to dig out two of them from his private vault.

Although the material and carving skills were not comparable to Sima Yan's, he still felt that he had to give away the two sons.

Sima Yan took another note of the property, secretly planning to beat him up one day while Yu Fuyi was away to relieve his anger.

There was a rain at the end of July.

This heavy rain that lasted for twelve hours completely took away the summer.

After the rain, the sky cleared, and early autumn came to the world.

The sunshine began to become milder, and there was a chill in the morning and evening.

Everyone I had no choice but to take off my summer clothes and wrap myself in a lining jacket.

A few days after autumn, the Queen Mother's birthday came.

The birthday banquet was scheduled for noon, but before dawn, the entire Forbidden City became busy.

The concubines who reported complex dishes went to the Empress Wang to apply for leave and ran away early. royal meal The room, including the always transparent Chang Meiren, and Cao Meiren, whose wounds were not healed yet and relied on crutches to walk, so that when Yu Fuyi went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects, apart from the Queen Wang who was present, she, Concubine Zheng, and Lin Zhaoyi were the only ones present.

Queen Wang smiled and said, "Just ask someone to take a leave.

Why bother to make this extra trip?"

Yu Fuyi saluted, raised her lips and said with a smile: "I only paid for a cabbage for soup, and you can get it for a cup of tea.

It's useless to go to the imperial dining room early.

It's better to come and talk to the queen."

After saying that, he turned around, gave a half salute to Concubine Zheng, frowned and said, "Didn't Sister Guifei repay the Buddha's death by jumping over the wall?

She should have gone to prepare early in the morning, but why are she still sitting here drinking tea and not being able to catch up with the time?"

Concubine Zheng held the tea bowl and made a gesture of sipping the tea.

It was hard to tell whether she drank it or not, but her lazy posture was perfect.

After a while, she sneered: "No matter how exquisite I am, I am just accompanying the prince."

If you don’t get a good word out of reading, just let the people below do the work.

I’ll finish it later.”

That's right.

The Queen Mother has always regarded Concubine Zheng as a thorn in her side.

No matter how well she behaves, it is rare for the Queen Mother to look at her directly.

This is much easier.

But, is it really okay to say this in front of the Queen Mother who seems to be valued by the Queen Mother?

Are you afraid that she will complain to the Queen Mother?

In fact, Zheng Guifei has already seen through the Queen Mother's tricks.

Then I thought about it.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand.

Anyone can see it.

The Queen Mother brought her niece Qin Er, and anyone who was not stupid would understand that she was being given up.

However, Concubine Zheng dared to say this, but she couldn't agree with it, so she had to turn her head and look at Lin Zhaoyi's cold face: "What did sister Zhaoyi say?"

Lin Zhaoyi hummed: "I don't know how to cook, but I am good at eating."

This one was even more powerful.

He actually reported it directly.

Yu Fuyi was choked and fell on her back.

She laughed in embarrassment.

She was about to raise her head to pay attention to Queen Wang, but then she thought that Queen Wang was the mother of a country.

If she went to the imperial dining room The house is lower than the others It would be too cheap for the concubine to grab the stove.

She must have asked the people in the imperial kitchen to deliver the ingredients to the small kitchen of Kunning Palace.

She closed her mouth angrily and said nothing more.

She only held the tea in her hand and used the bowl to cover it.

Cover and fiddle with the floating leaves on top.

There was silence in the palace for a while, with only the slight sound of the bowl lids hitting each other.

Seeing this, Queen Wang said, "I should go get ready now, so I won't leave the sisters alone."

When the three of them saw this, they quickly stood up and left.

Yu Fuyi took a nap, woke up and did a set of yoga exercises to stretch her legs and feet.

She changed into clothes made in the previous year as work clothes, went to the imperial dining room, and quickly prepared the soup and cabbage, put them in a food box and ordered them.

Xiaoman carried it and returned to Changchun Palace.

After bathing and washing again, she changed into a brocade round-neck robe embroidered with white magnolia and a goose-yellow horse-faced skirt.

She took the mutton-fat white jade headdress given by Sima Rui and the colorful gemstone necklace given by Yu Shaoyi, and got on the shoulder carriage to the banquet venue.

Ning Huayuan rushed over.

As soon as she arrived, she heard Nanny Cui in front of the Queen Mother say loudly: "The time has come, let's start serving the dishes."

The order of serving the dishes has been announced before, in order of concubines, then the eldest princess, and then Miss Qin Er and other relatives.

Therefore, as soon as Aunt Cui finished speaking, Queen Wang took the lead to step forward, starting from Yao Huang.

He took the food box in his hand and took out one to stew He put the stew pot on the table in front of the Queen Mother, then opened the lid of the stew pot, took the spoon and chopsticks, filled half the bowl and presented it to the Queen Mother, and said: "My concubine makes sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup.

It’s good for appetizing and strengthening the spleen.

The Queen Mother can eat some and use it with other dishes to save food.”

The Queen Mother scooped up half a spoonful of it, brought it to her mouth and sipped it, nodded and said, "Not bad."

She looked at Sima Rui and said, "The emperor should also try it."

Queen Wang quickly filled a bowl for Sima Rui.

Sima Rui didn't even use a spoon.

He took a big sip from the bowl, smashed it and praised: "It's sour and refreshing.

It's really appetizing."

After that, he picked it up again.

When the bowl came, I took a few sips.

When I put the bowl down, there were only bamboo shoots and chicken skin left at the bottom of the bowl, and no trace of soup was missing.

The corner of Yu Fuyi's mouth twitched, you are now the king of a country, the emperor who controls life and death, and seizes power.

You are no longer the gangster prince who dominates the capital.

Can you stop acting like this?

Then came Concubine Zheng's Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

As expected, the Queen Mother didn't even move her chopsticks.

She just glanced at it and waved her hand: "It doesn't look like you have any appetite.

Please move on."

"Wait a minute."

Just as the palace maid was about to step forward, she was stopped by Sima Rui with a wave of her hand.

With a flick of his long arm, he pulled the altar of Buddha over the wall to him.

He picked up a piece of pork belly with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it quickly.

After a moment, he squinted his eyes and praised: "It's delicious, even more delicious than what Jufulou makes."

Being demolished in such a clear way, the Queen Mother could not be happy but she immediately fell down, slapped her chopsticks on the table, glared at Sima Rui and said: "It is up to the Ai family to decide whether this is the birthday of the Ai family or the emperor's birthday."

The emperor still has the final say."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Sima Rui quickly apologized and said with a smile: "It's the Queen Mother's birthday, so naturally the Queen Mother makes the final decision."

The Queen Mother snorted, then turned to Nanny Cui and said, "Next one."

What An Shufei prepared was a basket of crystal shrimp steamed buns.

The skin of the steamed bun was thin and transparent, with pink shrimps looming inside.

The pleats on it were kneaded into beautiful flower shapes.

The Queen Mother took one in and gave it to her.

Moderate review: "Not bad."

Sima Rui still remembered her hatred for beating and scolding the second prince.

Although he was a little greedy for the small crystal shrimp cage, he resisted and did not bite.

This made Concubine An Shu shake her body and retreat with a sad expression.

In fact, according to Yu Fuyi, there was no need for Concubine An Shu to feel depressed, because as soon as her soup cabbage was presented, Sima Rui rolled his eyes at her, and then laughed and said: "Ouch, look at what this is.

Poached cabbage is so edible that even the dogs from poor families won’t look down on it.”

The Queen Mother was going to take a bite first before refuting Yu Fuyi's reputation.

However, as soon as she picked up her chopsticks and stretched them towards the plate, she was hit by Sima Rui with such a stick.

Her face suddenly became livid, she threw her chopsticks with a "snap" and said sternly to Bai Zhi: " Serve it to the emperor.

He has loved this dish since he was a child.

How can the Ai family steal his favorite dish?"

Bai Zhi held back her laughter and brought the cabbage to Sima Rui.

Yu Fuyi was originally so angry that she wanted to slap a few big-eared melon seeds on this troublesome bitch.

But when she saw that he was being punished by the Queen Mother, she lost most of her anger.

Tingting walked forward and said in a dignified tone: "This is your minister. concubine It has been made with great painstaking efforts.

Although it does not satisfy the Queen Mother, it is the food that the Emperor has loved since he was a child.

It is quite right and outrageous.

Your Majesty, you must have a good taste and do not let down the relationship between the Queen Mother and the concubine. mind.”

He had just said that he couldn't even look down on dogs from poor families, and the Queen Mother said that he had loved eating this dish since he was a child.

Doesn't this mean that he couldn't even compare to dogs from poor families?

Sima Rui's snarling face An ugly one, but it can’t explode Mao left and disturbed the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

He had to pick up his chopsticks and swallowed a chopstick with a constipated look on the soup and cabbage.

He felt extremely remorseful and secretly cursed that he shouldn't have demolished Yu Fuyi, otherwise she wouldn't have been punished.

It was so miserable.

Yu Fuyi sat on the seat assigned to her.

Since the banquet could only begin after the dishes were presented, there were only a few fruits and pastries on the table in front of her.

She weighed a birthday peach in her hand and ate it while watching.

However, this idea was originally Qin's idea.

The second girl came up with something to add glory to herself, and the Queen Mother naturally cooperated with it.

Therefore, even if there were some concubines who performed well, they were all ignored by the Queen Mother.

By the time Zhao Chang, the last of the concubines, appeared on the stage, Yu Fuyi had already finished eating two longevity peaches and was rolling her eyes in boredom, admiring the beautiful scenery of Cining Garden.

She was poked in the arm by Tingfeng, and then she paid attention.

The force transfers back into the field.

No wonder he stabbed himself when he heard the wind.

It turned out that Zhao Changzai actually set up a big pot in the middle.

Two palace maids were adding firewood to the fire under it.

She was holding a piece of green dough in her left hand and a kitchen knife in her right hand. , standing three feet away from the cauldron, waving a kitchen knife to cut the dough.

Hey, this was a live performance of cutting noodles.

She swung the kitchen knife quickly and accurately.

For a moment, the light and shadow of the sword flashed in front of her eyes.

Her skills were no worse than those of the chefs she had seen in the store in her previous life.

As for the green dough, it was probably made with the juice squeezed out of spinach and other green vegetables.

She had eaten it many times and made it herself, so there was nothing surprising about it.

However, Zhao Changzai's exposed move shocked everyone, including the Queen Mother and Sima Rui.

After Sima Rui came to his senses, he opened his mouth and asked: "Who did you learn this from?"

"Returning to the emperor, my concubine Zhao Chang is here, and my father Zhao Ganquan, the magistrate of Lanzhou Prefecture."

Zhao Chang kept moving in his hands and explained in an orderly manner: "My father has been serving as an official in various places in the northwest since he was awarded a Jinshi.

I stayed there with my mother and brother for more than ten years.

Not only did I appreciate the unique scenery of the yellow sand in the desert, but I also learned how to eat noodles unique to the northwest. " "Zhao Ganquan was a Jinshi during the late emperor's time.

I have some impressions of it."

Sima Rui nodded, then smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "My son did not have the opportunity to appreciate the unique scenery of the yellow sand in the desert.

Thanks to the Queen Mother, I can enjoy it.

A unique meal there.”

The green shaved noodles were presented in a bowl, which was very comforting to see.

The Queen Mother picked up a chopstick and nodded: "It's really unique, I can't help you."

Sima Rui ate up the noodles with a few chopsticks and drank up the soup in the bowl.

He said it was delicious and said with a wave of his hand: "Zhao Ganquan has been in the northwest for more than ten years.

It is really hard.

You have made great achievements in celebrating your birthday this time.

So, Let’s promote him to a fifth-grade talent.”

After Zhao Cairen finished cutting all the newly baked dough, he handed the kitchen knife to the palace maid behind him, knelt down and kowtowed: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."

With Zhao Cairen in front of him, the four eldest princesses and the second girl Qin were all overshadowed by comparison.

The four eldest princesses were just making up for the occasion, but the second girl Qin was not.

It's the same.

After all the planning and planning, I ended up making wedding clothes for someone else.

I got the advantage of this unknown Zhao Changzai in vain.

It's really annoying.

But fortunately there was a talent show, so she didn't believe she could beat this bumpkin from the harsh northwest.

Unfortunately, the birthday banquet had just been pulled down, and the curtain on the stage had just been halfway drawn, when Song Xiaoxi came hurriedly, knelt down in front of Sima Rui, and said: "Your Majesty, urgent report from 800 miles away, Guangdong and Guangxi have surrendered." seven Heavy rains hit two states, eight counties and sixteen towns, and tens of thousands of people were besieged by water.

Lin Cifu, Zhou Gelao, Yu Gelao and Cheng Yushi were standing in the Yangxin Hall waiting to discuss relief matters with the emperor.

The emperor Come over quickly."

Sima Rui suddenly stood up and walked away.

After such a big event, how could the Queen Mother still have the time to enjoy the talent show?

She waved her hands in frustration: "Let's all leave." gd1806102:
