Three days later, facing the room full of flour, butter, and milk, she began to get tired of it: "I won't learn anymore, I won't learn anymore!"
Thinking that after getting married, she would occasionally show off her cooking skills and show her gentle side, Yu Moyue couldn't help but grit her teeth.
So, I just hate myself for not being a man?
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be her who enjoys this benefit?
In three days, I lost interest in baking, but it made the little girl become more lively.
When we first met, the little girl was timid and a little shy, but now she has become a little more outgoing and lively.
Xiao Nianzhi and the others have been making cakes and breads for several days, even if they eat them in different ways, they can't stand it!
So, they decided to eat something else.
Now that you’ve had your sweets, let’s have some drinks.
They had enjoyed all kinds of milk tea and fruit tea before when the envoy from Xilou came.
After that, Princess Qiuyang and Yu Moyue had no chance to meet.
Occasionally, the imperial dining room will prepare a dish, but it will not be as complete as that day.
Therefore, now that they can get started by themselves, they cannot miss it.
Xiao Nianzhi was generous and willing to teach, so the two of them brought their maids and palace servants with them to learn together!
If they can't learn it, the palace people have to learn it, right?
Needless to say, compared to the complexity of baking, the operation of drinks is much simpler.
You don’t need to master too many skills, and you don’t need to think about the temperament of the roasting pit. You only need to think about the color of the tea, then add the milk, and then what to add.
How to extract butter, how to make milk cap...
Even making pearls and taro balls becomes interesting.
A few people were playing around in the palace for a few more days. On the twelfth year of the lunar year, Xiao Nianzhi and the others began to study various small glutinous rice balls again.
After all, the Lantern Festival is coming soon, so we have to prepare special delicacies for this festival.
At the same time, Xiao Nianzhi also asked Yan Xingxuan whether he could go to White Horse Temple to light lanterns, burn incense, chant sutras, etc. after he passed his fifteenth birthday.
After all, it was the anniversary of Xiao’s father’s death, and it was also the first anniversary of the memorial ceremony. Even if he just wanted to show off, he still had to make this trip.
In this regard, Yan Xingxuan is actually not particularly relieved.
After all, neither Yu Mingchao nor Lu Jingyuan has been caught yet, so they can't safely let Xiao Nianzhi go out.
In response to this, Yan Xingxuan also made a special trip to the Queen Mother's Palace, discussed with the other party, and borrowed the small Buddhist hall for Xiao Nianzhi's use.
If you can’t go to White Horse Temple, you can simply worship at the small Buddhist hall.
Of course, this is another option after being unable to leave the palace, and you still need to ask Xiao Nianzhi what he means.
Although paying tribute is important, your own safety is equally important.
Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi agreed after thinking about it.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we hold lanterns and eat Lantern Festival.
Xiao Nianzhi has been busy since he got up early. Today, the imperial kitchen will prepare various dishes and send Lantern Festivals to each palace.
Of course, there are also palace banquets here in the palace, but they are only invited by clan relatives or some first- and second-rank ministers that His Majesty values.
There are not many people coming, and the number of family members that can be brought is even limited.
Xiao Nianzhi is among those invited, so she can just follow Concubine Hui when the time comes.
Xiao Nianzhi got up early and went to prepare the necessary ingredients to prepare some special Lantern Festival glutinous rice balls or something in the evening.
Isatis has already gone to prepare clothes for her.
After Xiao Nianzhi entered the palace, the Clothing Bureau came over to measure her body and cut her clothes, and now there are still a few clothes in progress.
The new clothes also took into consideration that she was still in her filial piety period. The color was not too bright, but it still maintained a bit of youthful brightness.
Xiao Nianzhi's clothes today are a lotus-colored round-necked long coat, paired with a lilac-colored embroidered horse-faced skirt, made of fine brocade fabric, and there is a hint of nobility when he walks.
Jianlan felt that Xiao Nianzhi still needed to attend the palace banquet during the festival today. Although he couldn't dress up too much, so as not to steal the spotlight from the concubine, he still had to dress up a little to show that he paid attention to the banquet.
Therefore, this dress is quite good.
Of course, to match this outfit, you also need to choose jewelry.
The jewelry that Xiao Nianzhi is using in the palace now are all newly sent by Concubine Hui and the Feng family.
There are all kinds of pearls, flowers and beautiful jade.
There is a pair of purple jade gourd earrings, which are very beautiful and match today's clothes. After careful comparison and consideration, Woad found these.
I also found a purple chalcedony bracelet and an amethyst fancy rocker.
Other pearl flowers are also picked as close to purple as possible.
After some comparison and selection, Isatis was very satisfied with her vision today.
After Xiao Nianzhi washed up, she began to dress up.
After getting dressed like this, Xiao Nianzhi couldn't get started directly. Most of the time, he still directed Isatis and the others to make.
After being busy and tasting various delicacies, the evening banquet finally arrived.
Xiao Nianzhi said goodbye to Yan Xingxuan in the afternoon, and then went to Concubine Hui's palace.
She has been coming here often recently. After the Queen's health recovered, Xiao Nianzhi got up early to say hello to the Queen Mother and the Queen, and would also visit Concubine Hui again.
Occasionally, when I heard that Concubine Xian was feeling better, she would go over to see the soft beauty!
Concubine Hui’s clothes today are also rich and purple.
In fact, the way she usually dresses in her palace is very casual and elegant.
But I have to dress up today.
After all, for the concubine, this is not just a piece of clothing, but also a battle robe!
Because it was a winter banquet, and it was also a family gathering, His Majesty was generous and did not wait until all the dishes were served.
Of course, singing and dancing are unavoidable and lively.
After the banquet, the people below were chatting nearby.
On such an occasion, His Majesty was naturally in the main seat, while the Queen Mother came for a formality before the show started and then went back directly.
In the Jin Dynasty, the left was respected, so the first one on the left hand side was naturally the Queen, followed by the favored Concubine Rong, and then the Concubine Hui.
Concubine Xian has been ill again in the past two days and did not come today.
Then there are the many beauties under the concubine.
Of course, because of the lower status of beauties, many of them sit in the back.
The prince, clan officials and family members sit on the right side.
Xiao Nianzhi sat behind Concubine Hui.
The person standing a little further away is...
Princess Chengjun.
Seeing her, Xiao Nianzhi couldn't help but think of the depressing and incomprehensible feeling before.
This frightened her so much that she quickly looked away, not daring to look any further.
I glanced down and saw another princess in the harem not far away, Princess Linyang.
The other party is not old, he is only eleven years old this year, and his presence in the harem usually is not high. Xiao Nianzhi has met him twice, because Yan Xingxuan mentioned it to her, so she barely remembered it.
Most of the other younger princesses did not come to the banquet.
After the singing and dancing started, the whole hall suddenly became lively.
Xiao Nianzhi looked up from time to time to watch the singing and dancing, or lowered his head to taste the food, and occasionally responded to Concubine Hui's care.
Xiao Nianzhi felt that if the whole banquet was like this, it would actually be pretty good.
Just as she was thinking this, she heard a burst of chaotic footsteps behind her, which made her turn around subconsciously, and then she was hit by someone!
