Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter.

There is no banquet in the Dragon Boat Festival Palace. The Empress Dowager said that the Empress is happy, and it has been peacefully for three months. The Emperor is in good health. This is a happy event, so it must be lively and lively.

On this day, the Queen Mother specially summoned the wives of several households and asked them to come to the palace to make rice dumplings.

These ladies have not made rice dumplings with their own hands for many years.

But when the Empress Dowager summons her, even if she doesn't know how to do it, she still has to force herself to wrap herself up.

At that time, those who were skillful with their hands were even more excited and wanted to show off.

Princess Minjun wrapped herself in a four-faced wrap, and then she wrapped another one in a four-faced coat. She threw her hands away in frustration, looked around for a long time and asked, "Why can't I see the two princesses?"

There were seven or eight small and exquisitely wrapped rice dumplings piled up in front of the Queen Mother. When she heard this, she didn't even raise her eyelids and said calmly: "Chang Le said he was going to build a school. He has been away from Beijing for several days. I don't know where he is now. An Le yesterday

She caught a cold and had a cough, so the Ai family didn't let her come out."

Both princesses are not here!

After waiting for a plate of cooked rice dumplings in his hands, the emperor actually peeled off one with red date filling and ate it.

Seeing that everyone was busy, she found an excuse to go out and wander around the palace where the Queen Mother lived.

With a bad mind and blind eyes, Princess Ruijun lamented how she was so unlucky to have such a senseless sister-in-law!

Princess Changle was good-looking and loved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. If her youngest brother became a princess, she would have much more confidence to speak in front of the sisters-in-law of Prince Qing's Mansion.

The emperor ate one and wanted to eat more. His outstretched hand was slapped by the queen mother. The queen mother refused to let the emperor eat anymore, saying that it was difficult to digest after eating too much.

The rice dumplings made by the Queen Mother were extremely small, and she could only chew them in three or four bites.

When the Queen Mother saw the emperor coming up, she brought up the small rice dumplings wrapped in front of her and showed them to the emperor, "Look, these are made by the Ai family. Your favorite red date filling will be cooked by the Ai family and sent to you later."

For some reason, Princess Minjun always felt that the emperor's court boots were a little different from those worn by men in her family. The soles were thicker.

But she didn't dwell too much on it. The emperor's boots were naturally different from those of the prince. Not to mention whether they were thick or not, even the patterns on them were completely different.

The emperor is here?

No one else saw the interactions between the two sisters-in-law in Prince Qing's Mansion, and they didn't even care when the Emperor and the Queen Mother were talking.

It's just that Princess Min didn't discuss this matter with Prince Min. She only discussed it with her parents at her parents' home.

"Why is the emperor free to come here today?"

"Stingy." Princess Minjun snorted lightly.

"And the Emperor, who is stuffed with red bean paste, would you like to try it?" Mrs. Zhenguo handed a few rice dumplings in front of her to the Emperor and the Queen Mother, "I remember that the Emperor likes the ones stuffed with red dates, and the Queen Mother likes those stuffed with red bean fillings. I want them.

Why don’t you cook them all and try them?”

Princess Minjun was so panicked that she walked onto the bluestone road in three or two steps, lifted her skirt and knelt down.

As for the red bean fillings made by Mrs. Zhenguo, they were all kept by the Queen Mother, and the Emperor didn't even taste them, and didn't even see them.

Princess Minjun had some thoughts and wanted to make more rice dumplings.

Princess Min lowered her head, and could only see the square-toed boots worn by the emperor, with thick soles and black trim, embroidered with grass dragon patterns.

You know shit.

Princess Minjun saw the pomegranate tree in full bloom and wanted to pick a hairpin when she heard the sound of footsteps.

Seeing the emperor coming and going in a hurry, the Queen Mother seemed to have been taken away from her interest in making rice dumplings. She put down the rice dumpling leaves in her hands, sighed lowly and said to the Duke of Zhenguo on the side: "Look, why is the emperor's body so fragile?"

Can’t he get better? I don’t know how many miraculous medicines he has taken, but look at him, he is so thin that he can run away when the wind blows.”

She knew that her little brother could not succeed in martial arts, and it would be difficult for him to get ahead, so he might as well become a princess.

Princess Minjun raised her eyes and saw the emperor in dragon robe walking in surrounded by eunuchs.

Everyone hesitated for a while, but when they saw that no one came forward, they immediately felt relieved. This was food, and if the emperor felt uncomfortable after eating something, something would go wrong.

The emperor walked in front of Princess Minjun and stopped. Princess Minjun's hair was covered with pearls, and her dazzling golden steps swayed in the sun, making people dizzy.

"I have met the emperor."

The emperor's court boots flashed past Princess Minjun's eyes, and there was a faint fragrance coming from them.

The emperor took a few steps to the Queen Mother and took the rice dumplings made by the Queen Mother: "It's been a long time since I've eaten the rice dumplings made by the Queen Mother. I became my father-in-law and took them down to cook. Today I will try the rice dumplings made by the Queen Mother with red dates filling."

Although they rarely see the Emperor on weekdays, when they saw the Emperor today, they always felt that the Emperor was much more cordial than they had seen before.

Not to mention the medical emergency, the Queen Mother may be the first to turn against her when the time comes.

Hearing what the emperor said, the other ladies looked at the rice dumplings in their hands and hesitated for a moment.

Zongzi, can those who are recovering from illness eat it?

Everyone knows that it is not good for the emperor to have a small bone in his body, and he has to ask the imperial doctor every now and then. The Queen Mother said this just to let the emperor feel the excitement of the festival. If he really wants to let the emperor eat two or three rice dumplings in a row, try it.

Princess Ruijun rolled her eyes at her and snorted in her heart. The emperor's face was pale and flushed, and he looked like he was recovering from a serious illness.

Seeing that no one was moving, Princess Min felt a little moved, but the rice dumplings she made were really not eye-catching. The seeds made by Princess Rui, on the other hand, were small and very nice to look at.

"The Emperor has arrived."

By the time Princess Minjun stood up with the help of her maid, the emperor had already entered the Queen Mother's palace, and the voices of the ladies inside could be vaguely heard saluting and talking.

With a smile on his face, the emperor accepted Mrs. Zhenguo's kindness and said, "Okay, let's cook them all. I'll also try Mrs. Zhenguo's red bean filling."

Princess Minjun was a little disappointed. She came today with a purpose.

Her natal brother, who has just grown up, would be better off if he could marry Princess Changle.

The Queen Mother was indifferent by nature, and even the flowers and trees planted in the yard were more elegant than ordinary yards. The only beautiful thing was the pomegranate tree in the corner.

Seeing Princess Min reaching out to pick up the tray of rice dumplings in front of her, Princess Rui quickly raised her hand to hold it down and gently shook her head.

Should I serve this rice dumpling to please the emperor, or should I just keep it to myself?

This emperor seems to have a very good temper and is easy to talk to.

The emperor came, sat down for a while, said a few words to the queen mother, and left before the rice dumplings were cooked.

"Your Majesty has been thin since he was a child. I think his body is much healthier than in previous years."

Mrs. Zhen Guo Gong smiled and answered the words, moving her hands non-stop. She knew that the Queen Mother was just complaining to her, not asking her to persuade her.

The other ladies were scooping out glutinous rice, and those were picking up rice dumpling leaves, as if they didn't hear anything.

Princess Minjun only pricked up her ears, wishing she could listen more.

When everyone took a bunch of rice dumplings and went home, they closed the door and talked carefully. No one could figure out what the Queen Mother meant.

Just want to make rice dumplings with everyone?
