Knowing that Xiao Nianzhi was not unhappy and was not bullied, Yan Xingxuan felt relieved.
Not long after the two returned to the palace, Song Lu and Song Bai went to the imperial dining room to get dinner.
For today's dinner, the Queen Mother, Her Majesty and the Queen's Palace have added two dishes that look different.
Boiled cabbage and Wensi tofu.
Although the chefs are not particularly satisfied with the handling of the stock.
However, this thing needs to be done slowly, and there will definitely be a result before tomorrow.
However, before that, they still need to report the work progress to their masters and let His Majesty see how good this dish is.
The Queen Mother saw the dish of boiled cabbage, and when she heard the name of the dish, she became interested: "Is it because that little girl made it?"
While she was talking, she had already sat down at the dining table and looked at the dish carefully.
When I saw it, I was immediately surprised: "...Huh? This dish..."
Today's stock has gone through layers of processing, and the color is definitely different compared to the original color.
But when it comes to making it as pure as water, there is still no way for the time being.
However, at first glance, it seems quite bluffing.
The Queen Mother was surprised at first, then clapped her hands and praised: "The emperor's idea this time is actually a good one."
The Queen Mother marveled at Xiao Nianzhi's craftsmanship and the chefs' ability to learn.
After all, after watching Wensi Tofu, the knife skills can really make people marvel for a while.
In the process, it was not only Xiao Nianzhi’s careful guidance, but also the chefs’ own efforts.
At the same time, His Majesty, who also received the dishes, was also praising Xiao Nianzhi to Quande: "Xiao Liu found a really good wife. I used to worry that he couldn't find a good wife, but now it seems
, God loves stupid people, this is always true."
While speaking with a smile, His Majesty also took a bite of boiled cabbage.
The cabbage soaked in broth has a very fresh taste. The softness and hardness of the cabbage are just right. It is soft and yet has a hint of crispiness, which makes it very comfortable to eat.
Anyway, His Majesty was very satisfied with the meal.
As for Wensi Tofu, no matter how it tastes, just the knife skills...
That’s enough to scare people!
The Queen was a little surprised at the new dishes added today, but she soon learned that they were newly researched by the chefs under the guidance of Xiao Nianzhi. In order to cope with the envoys from other countries tomorrow, she couldn't help but smile.
Comment: "Ning'an Township Lord, she really has some abilities. It's no wonder that the prince always praises her after he comes back."
The queen even thought that if Yan Xingxuan hadn't taken the lead, she would definitely have brought such a capable girl to her own camp for the prince.
However, this is good now. Yan Xingxuan will not participate in the fight, and Xiao Nianzhi will not stand on their opposite side.
Thinking of this, the queen nodded with satisfaction and wanted to ask, how is the former noble concubine and now the concubine doing in You Palace?
Then I thought again, why would I mention this person on such a great day?
It adds a bit of bad luck for no reason!
The Queen didn't want to mention that another person was listening to the fun about Shubin and couldn't help but drink an extra bowl of bird's nest.
This person is Shubin’s former rival, Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong has a very good appearance, otherwise she would not have caught His Majesty’s eyes.
His temperament is a bit flamboyant, but when facing His Majesty, he is like a flower of explanation, the kind that makes people fall into him easily.
At first, His Majesty just wanted her to enter the palace to balance the situation between the harem and the former court.
However, as you go along, you fall into it.
To put it bluntly...
You are considerate and your beauty is everywhere in your eyes, who wouldn’t like it?
The emperor is no exception.
What's more, Concubine Rong's appearance is outstanding, so it's even more impossible for His Majesty not to like her!
At this time, listening to the confidants in the palace talking to her about Shu Concubine's miserable situation in You Palace, Concubine Rong smiled brightly and with a hint of happiness.
Later, I heard from the palace people that the Queen Mother and Queen's palace had added new dishes tonight. It was said that they were prepared in case the envoys came to the court tomorrow.
Concubine Rong waved her hands carelessly: "Just talk about this matter. We don't have enough status, so don't stick to it..."
At the end of the sentence, there was a slight hesitation in his tone: "Speaking of which, Mr. Xiao is also very powerful. Who has our little bully of the Zhou family been afraid of before? He is used to being rampant and is famous among His Majesty. As a result,
Now when you meet me, you will praise Mr. Xiao for nothing, but it’s a pity that the famous woman has someone else. Otherwise, if you ask for a daughter-in-law for our Zhou family, I’m afraid those people will be envious.”
After hearing this, the confidants in the palace didn't take it well, and thought to themselves: With the appearance of the second young master, Mr. Xiao might not look down on him, right?
But thinking about it again, Mr. Xiao can like His Highness King Wei, who has a bad reputation. Maybe their second son really has a chance.
It's just that it's okay to think about these words in your heart, but it won't be good if others hear you say them.
At this time, Xiao Nianzhi was also having dinner with Yan Xingxuan.
Whether it's His Majesty's arrangement or the Queen Mother's love, Yan Xingxuan's dinner specifications must be kept up.
Therefore, if the Queen Mother has it, he must also have it.
In addition, Xiao Nianzhi still needs to give some technical guidance after tasting it.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi also ate the two new dishes today.
I have to say that the soup stock in the imperial dining room is really good!
The taste is delicious but not greasy, the taste is dense but not thick, and it feels very comfortable to drink.
It tastes delicious and refreshing when eaten with the cabbage inside. After Xiao Nianzhi finished eating, he squinted his eyes and thought about it for a long time.
Yan Xingxuan is naturally satisfied with the craftsmanship of Yushan.
At this moment, one mouthful of cabbage and one mouthful of soup made him feel like he was floating!
Thinking again, this dish was given by Xiao Nianzhi after he came up with the idea and then gave guidance. Yan Xingxuan felt that his steps were starting to falter.
If you don’t drift now, when will you wait?
Taking another sip of the soup, he felt the delicious taste sliding between his lips and teeth, then into his stomach. The sweetness had already extended from between his lips and teeth to his limbs. Yan Xingxuan narrowed his eyes again in comfort, but did not forget to go.
Praising Xiao Nianzhi: "Think about it, this is so fresh!"
It’s fresh and comfortable, with a rich texture, but not greasy or greasy. It tastes really good!
After Yan Xingxuan finished one sentence of praise, the second sentence quickly followed: "It's better to think about it!"
His compliment made Xiao Nianzhi feel embarrassed.
She was embarrassed to admit that this was her own fault.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi quickly waved his hand: "No, it's all written well in the book. I was lucky enough to see it, and my memory is a little better. If I think about it carefully, I can think of many things. It's the person who wrote the book.
The people are amazing."
Yan Xingxuan doesn't care what kind of book he is. Anyway, in his eyes, Xiao Nianzhi is the most powerful.
However, thinking that the little girl might be embarrassed if he praised too much, he thought about it for a while, said nothing more, and just enjoyed the food quietly.
