426,

After finishing the preparations, he told Sixi, "Please come to the emperor."

Si Xi didn't hesitate, and didn't care at all whether the emperor would be unhappy if he invited her like this because he had just left for business.

However, after Si Xi left, Xing Gui reminded Nian Twenty One in a low voice.

Nian Twen shook his head with a smile, "No. He will be happy when the emperor comes."

Nian Twen said without stopping, calling for people to light the fire again and put the broiler back on.

The barbecue is still barbecue, but all the corresponding household items, including the meat, have been changed.

When the emperor comes, you can smell the special smell in the Twenty-Twenty Palace from afar.

When the emperor walked in, he subconsciously looked around and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are right. This courtyard is not the Imperial Courtyard, but my bedroom."

The emperor then laughed and said, "Sure enough, it smells like horse manure?! I thought I smelled it wrong. How could there be the smell of horse manure in this inner court wall?"

As the emperor spoke, his eyes were fixed on Twenty-Twenty.

At this moment, Twenty-Twenty had already taken off her gorgeous silk clothes, and was wearing ordinary cotton and linen clothes, with a green cloth apron on top.

The style of this apron is what ordinary women would use when cooking. Only the embroidery on the apron can highlight the status of a noble concubine.

The Emperor recognized this apron. It was prepared when Twenty-Twenty and the Queen went to the wedding ceremony this year. However, he was wearing this apron as a "dress" accessory, standing in front of the barbecue grill.

Before that, the emperor still couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, this shouldn't be roasted live silkworms, right?"

As the emperor spoke, he walked slowly and calmly towards the barbecue. When he got to the edge, he deliberately looked at it from a few steps away.

It's not because I'm afraid that the oil particles will burst onto my body and stain my clothes, but because the particles are so big that you can't see them completely unless you keep some distance.

How big can a big broiler be? You can tell just by looking at the long chopsticks in Twenty-Twenty's hands - the long chopsticks used for grilling meat in Twenty-Twenty's hands are three feet long!

The so-called "Sizzling Pot" has a large roasting basin at the bottom and a large roasting plate at the top. This big roasting pan is almost as big as a round table.

The emperor was coughing a little.

Naturally, all the furnishings in the palace must be exquisite. Such a big broiler is usually used by monarchs and ministers in the paddock during the autumn period of Mulan. It is no longer used in the inner court, let alone seeing it with one's own eyes.

As a noble concubine, she personally takes care of things beside Zhizi.

"Where did you get this huge thing? It must not have been prepared by the 'Baoha Bureau'."

"Baoha Bureau" is the department in the imperial dining room that specializes in barbecue dishes. They serve everything from hanging-oven chicken and hanging-oven duck to the roasted pig and roasted side dishes served at the Manchu and Han banquets when the emperor gave banquets to ministers.

No matter what.

The twenty-year-old smiled and said, "Of course it's not from the Baoha Bureau. I borrowed it from the guard camp. I don't have time to clean it, and it's still greasy from the last time. Do you mind it?"

The emperor, who was curious and interesting before, now narrowed his eyes and understood the intention of Twenty-Twenty.

Zhizi barbecue is not unusual, but the Zhizi barbecue prepared for him by his imperial concubine today is really special.

Not to mention Zhizi, the fuel used in the Zhizi basin is not charcoal, but dried horse dung!

——This is a common practice of the Manchu ancestors. Back then, when Manchu men went into the mountains to hunt, they would hunt in small groups, and everyone would share the prey. Therefore, the most common way was for a few people to sit around and hunt the meat.

Cut it with a knife, put it in the helmet, and light dry horse dung underneath.

Such old traditions were also brought into the capital as the Qing army entered the country. Restaurants in the palace and outside used the old barbecue methods, replaced the horse manure with charcoal, and replaced the helmets with charcoal, becoming more and more refined.

stand up.

Only in the military camp, because there are many people and they are all rough men, they are still willing to stick to the old traditions outside the customs. Besides, the dry horse dung in the military camp is also readily available, which can help the soldiers not forget their former bloody nature.

There is still such a big Zhizi.

The unique and fragrant smoke of the barbecue rose and entered the emperor's eyes, and he felt a little warm in his eyes.

Twenty-Twenty's heart, he understood.

On this ninth day of September, a day that he cared about both as a son and as an emperor, the religious chaos in the southwest made him feel uneasy, but Twenty-Twenty had prepared a child for him.

It's so hot and full of manly passion!

The emperor's heart felt as hot as the meat on the roasted sub. He stretched out his hand for chopsticks, pulled the porcelain stand next to the roasted sub and sat down.

But Twenty-Twenty still smiled and deliberately tilted his head to glance at him, "I'm sorry, Sir, this guy is so big, he can't even think about eating well!"

The emperor also laughed, understood and stood up, instead of sitting on the porcelain pillar, he stepped directly on it with one foot!

Only by holding one foot like this and stretching out the long chopsticks to pick up the meat can you grab it and use your strength. This is called "Wu Chi", which preserves the original flavor of the past and is more in line with the rough temperament of men.

Nian Twenty laughed, and simply put down the concubine's reserve, raised one foot and stepped on the pillar!

The two couples used this posture, each with one foot on each other, holding three-foot-long large chopsticks, to bake and eat it for themselves!

There may be nothing in this world that a meal of barbecue cannot solve throughout the ages. The aroma of barbecue, the heat of barbecue, and the original bloodiness of barbecue can all make people's emotions the best outlet.

Twenty-two lost no time in giving chrysanthemum wine and green cinnamon honey dipped in the sauce...

Nian and Twenty didn’t ask anything or say anything. He just went to have a good barbecue with the emperor.

The emperor had a huge appetite and ate all the mutton prepared by Twenty-Twenty. Still not satisfied, he asked the imperial kitchen to prepare more.

The 220-year-old smiled and said, "I heard from the emperor that Guandong products are being sold outside the city gate. Venison and roe deer meat are all over the street... I guessed that the emperor is greedy for venison. I

It has been prepared for a long time."

"It happens that mutton is dry, but venison can be milder. Your Majesty, will you try this venison?"

The emperor's mouth was busy and he could not speak. He could only reach out and shake the twenty-twenty's little hand again and again.

This year, I was unable to attend the Autumn Festival, so I was unable to shoot deer in the paddock and eat the bloody fresh roasted venison... But on the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September, his noble concubine was deeply in love.

In the palace, it was made up for him.

His appetite, which had been dormant for many days, was completely stimulated tonight by eating hot meat in the cool autumn weather, and he was able to make up for the food he had missed for several days.

Finally, when his stomach was bloated, he stopped using his chopsticks and patted his stomach with satisfaction, "Well, I'm full."

Twenty-Twenty's eyes turned slightly, but only fell on the sunburnt child, "Master...have you got enough energy?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded with a smile, "Well, I've saved enough!"

Twenty-two gently raised his eyes, "As long as the emperor gathers enough energy, no matter who he is, he will not be his opponent. Overcoming difficulties requires years and years, so what's the risk?"

The emperor was speechless, he just stood up, stretched out his arms and hugged 220 in his arms.

Nian Erxiao said, "Sir, I'm so handsome..."

The emperor snorted, "This is the fireworks couple."

.

After a good night's sleep, a message came from the Jingyi Garden Palace the next day, saying that the eighty-six-year-old Supreme Emperor was going to review the Jianrui Camp in Xiangshan.

The emperor sat up immediately and quickly put on his clothes, "I'm going too!"

The Jianrui Battalion is the elite of the Eight Banners soldiers. The Battle of Jinchuan relied on the achievements of the "Yunti Battalion" in the Jianrui Battalion. The imperial court would only send this team during the most difficult battles.

Overcome difficulties.

On the Double Ninth Festival, the eighty-six-year-old Emperor went to Xiangshan not to celebrate the festival, but to review the most elite team. His heart was shaken, and the tip of his nose felt a little sore.

She smiled to herself and saw the emperor off in person, but when she turned around and came back, she saw in the dressing mirror the worry that could not be concealed in the corners of her eyes and brows.

Why is the eighty-six-year-old man acting like this? It can be seen that the old man is worried about the Miao and religious chaos in the southwest at this time.

But at this time, the old man himself was really old. The commander-in-chief Fu Kang'an the court had counted on for these years was no longer there, and the emperor had just ascended the throne... The clans in the court had different intentions, and the scholars were useless. With so many internal and external troubles adding up, the old man

I was anxious and worried about the Emperor.

Twenty-two walked to the window, facing the sky that had not yet lit up, and quietly clasped his palms together.

"Queen, you must protect the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor in heaven..."

She knew that the emperor was in a difficult situation, and for the sake of the emperor and the Qing Dynasty, she was willing to stop fighting in the harem at this time!

Although she hates the queen; although she has too many questions that she needs to fight to the death with the queen before she can ask them clearly... But at this moment, between priorities, she knows how to make trade-offs.

Because she is in the royal family, she cannot be an ordinary weakling woman!

Because she was a noble concubine of the Qing Dynasty, she could not only care about the gains and losses of herself and her children.

Destiny has brought her to this position, so she knows what kind of responsibilities she should shoulder.

She turned around and ordered: "Go, take the roasted meat, mutton and venison that were reserved in advance last night, ask the eunuch to hold it on the head, go out of the palace, and send it to the seven-browed Prince Chaoyong's Mansion, Prince Rui's Mansion, and Master Heshen

Di, just say that the emperor rewards you with food."

.

On the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, on the same day that the Supreme Emperor visited Jianrui Camp in person, the emperor issued an order to select the examiners for the martial arts examination.

Wu Shenglan, who was a teacher and student of each other with He Shen, was appointed as the deputy examiner of the martial arts examination after being the examiner of the Wen palace examination.

This is tantamount to the emperor placing part of his civil and military authority in selecting talents for the country in the hands of He Shen, which clearly shows the emperor's trust and reliance on He Shen.

The emperor was enjoying barbecued food inside, and the emperor chose Wu Shenglan, who belonged to the Heshen sect, as the deputy examiner for the martial arts examination. This was a perfect match.
