"Mr. Cui, I have a way of making dim sum, but I can't remember it completely. I want to ask the princes of the imperial dining room to help me think about whether I can borrow two of them." Xia Xiaoran said to the steward of the imperial dining room.
"Queen, if you are not there, I will find someone for you." Mr. Cui's efficiency is really high, but in half a moment, he found two people who are good at making snacks in the imperial dining room.
"Then there are two father-in-law workers, and I can remember that the syrup is water filled, and then some flour is mixed and made up of flour, and then some jujube paste is added. After the jujube is wrapped up in the flour, then put it in the mold, and make various shapes and colors, then put it on the fire. But I can't remember the proportion of various seasonings. There are many fillings, such as five kernels, egg yolks, lotus seed paste and so on. "
"I understand what the lady said. It's easy to make stuffing, but it's necessary to study the dough. If Niang Niang doesn't dislike it, we will send the test sample to Niang Niang's palace after we make it, and ask her to taste it. Is it the flavor of imagination? " Both chefs are professional experts. They can sort out the information they can handle from a few words.
"Thank you two. I'm looking forward to it." Xia Xiaoran said. In fact, such a vague method is a big challenge for the two chefs, but the imperial chef is the imperial chef after all. The empress has found it herself. If it can't be done well, isn't it a laughing matter?
"Yes, slave." The two royal chefs took on the arduous task.
Xia Xiaoran orders the maid of honor to bring some other desserts back to Guanju palace. She reads and eats them. It's evening when she comes back to her senses. After eating a lot of desserts, she is not hungry at all, so she has no supper.
I don't think Qi Jinglan will come tonight, so I wash and sleep first. This day is a day of exhaustion. I understand Qi Jinglan's character. Only when we have a clear understanding of our character can we find a way to ease the relationship between emperor and empress. At that time, we can finish the task and go home.
Xia Xiaoran just lay down, eunuch came to report: "the emperor arrived!"
"How come again." Xia Xiaoran muttered in a low voice.
"Why did you go to bed first? Tired? " Asked Qi Jinglan.
"A little bit." Xia Xiaoran followed the words.
"Jing pin, hang yourself." Qi Jinglan said to Xia Xiaoran, staring at Xia Xiaoran quietly.
"Hang yourself? It's a pity. " Xia Xiaoran is very surprised, although can think of static concubine will be some blow, but did not expect static concubine will choose to hang himself.
"What a pity? What a pity? If you dare to make fun of Longsi, I'm not involved in her. It's my kindness. " Qi Jinglan turns to pick up the tea cup on the table and looks at the lines on it without any expression.
"It's also a lovely person. How can it not be a pity to go like this?" Xia Xiaoran said.
"Her life is not worth an heir." Qi Jinglan said.
Xia Xiaoran doesn't know how to refute it. The two people's views are too far apart. If they continue to argue, it's better to stop.
"The emperor has been tired all day. I'll take care of him and go to bed." Xia Xiaoran takes off Qi Jinglan's coat and accidentally touches his fiery chest. The temperature passes from his fingers to the bottom of his heart. His fingertips shrink slightly. When he just wants to take back his hand, Qi Jinglan holds Xia Xiaoran's hand.
"You're afraid." Qi Jinglan said, burning eyes straight to see Xia Xiaoran, see through her heart.
"Every woman is afraid at a time like this." Xia Xiaoran is afraid that his task can't be finished, so he is afraid and doesn't think of anything else.
"You are my queen. Don't be afraid. You are the one who can stand beside me and see the beautiful river and mountain with me." Qi Jinglan suddenly became gentle, no longer the emperor. Sure enough, in front of shangguanjin, he could put down the burden in his heart and let him take off the mask he had taken for a long time.
"Brother lan..." Xia Xiaoran knows what Qi Jinglan wants to do.
"Give it to me."
Inside the lotus tent, there is a beautiful spring scene.
The next morning, they got up late again. Fortunately, they didn't have to go to the morning court. It was almost noon when they opened their eyes. At this time, the two royal chefs in the imperial dining room brought the experimental moon cake.
Xia Xiaoran tasted it and thought it was worse, but the taste had been much better than imagined.
"Very good, but I don't think it's hot enough. Can you try it again?" After receiving praise and instructions, the two royal chefs began to try again and got affirmation, which means that the direction is right and the two royal chefs are more confident in their research.
"What kind of snack is this?" Qi Jinglan asked curiously.
"Moon cake. I saw the moon that night and wanted to eat it. So I thought of this way. I didn't expect that I could make it. The two imperial chefs really deserve their reputation." Xia Xiaoran said.
"I didn't expect that you still have a lot of ghost ideas. I have a good taste. Those two imperial chefs should be rewarded. Of course, you should be rewarded the most." Having said that, Qi Jinglan put down the tent just hung on both sides of the bed and threw Xia Xiaoran on the bed.
In this way, the two lingered. In the afternoon, Xia Xiaoran urged Qi Jinglan to deal with the government affairs. He prepared for kissing painting and went to the hot spring pool in the backyard of Guanju palace for a while to relax.
Xia Xiaoran came here, not a good bath, the Royal hot spring, but a rare experience. Xia Xiaoran was very excited, if not for such a task, it would be difficult to experience the Royal hot spring. Xia Xiaoran thought happily, looking forward to the hot spring more and more“ Who would have thought there was a hot spring in the palace? Who has seen it in costume films before? " In modern costume films, there are hot springs only in the imperial palace. For example, it must have taken a lot of effort to select the site. Kiss painting is ready, come and ask Xia Xiaoran to go. Xia Xiaoran happily came to the edge of the hot spring pool, looking at a lot of maids standing in a row with different trays“ What do they do? " Xia Xiaoran asked“ They're going to wait on their wives to bathe Kisses the picture to reply. Xia Xiaoran then realized that the ancients were all served by people, especially the royal family, which paid attention to ostentation and required many people to wait by their side. But this person is also too many, bathe in full view of the public, Xia Xiaoran still can't do it“ You don't have to wait. You all go down. I'll do it alone. Just wait at the door. " Xia Xiaoran doesn't want to be seen bathing like this. It's too shameful“ Niang Niang, I'd better let my maidservant serve you. I'll help you to apply these moisturizers evenly. " Xia Xiaoran did not know a small maid said. Xia Xiaoran after hearing, to kiss painting make a wink“ Don't use it. Since she was young, she likes to bathe by herself. You all go down. " Kiss painting urged the maids to go out, and then guard at the door, do not let anyone in. Xia Xiaoran naturally knows that there must be something wrong with the maid of honor just now. She has nothing to do with her gallantry. Either they want to please themselves, or the undercover sent by other concubines want to hurt themselves at this time. Sure enough, it's not just Jing pin who can't wait. Isn't Jing pin's death enough to make the harem beauties stop for a while? Stupid, Jingpin can still rely on the holy favor. These women who are not favored in the harem are so impulsive that they are not afraid to bring trouble to their families? Or is Shangguan's family not a threat to them?
