This can be regarded as the Forbidden City's Dragon Boat Festival welfare.
The account book is not just an account book, but there are also notes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs next to it, recording the examples of distributions in the palace in previous years - each palace, how much was distributed, for what reason, the physical objects and forms of distribution, one by one
I remember them all clearly and have well-documented records.
The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also experienced people.
In addition to the natural ordering according to rank, factors such as whether each concubine had children, whether she could obtain the Sacred Heart, and the power and status of her mother's family were all factors considered.
For example, there are two people with the same rank. From the surface of the account book, the distribution patterns are the same. But if you study it more carefully, you will find that there is something fishy in it - for example, cloth is distributed in the same way.
Some people can get the new materials just delivered by Jiangnan Weaving in March this year; some people still use the old materials from last year in the warehouse to make up the number.
Although it is also new, after all, it has been stored for a year, and the pattern and color are inferior to the new one after all.
This account book is arranged according to the rank of the concubines, from lowest to highest - the lower ones are in the front, and the higher ones are in the back.
Ji Ling flipped and flipped, and when she saw herself, she was stunned... The Ministry of Internal Affairs attached a large page of gift lists directly next to her name. Because she couldn't write it down, she had to add another piece of paper to frame it.
Looking at the other people in front, some of the people's quotas added together would fill up a piece of paper.
Forehead……
Ji Ling knew that Fourth Master loved her, but seeing such a powerful contrast, she truly realized how affectionate the word "only doted on" was.
With the purpose of "everyone having a happy holiday", Ji Ling was as considerate as possible when distributing the samples. Everyone was taken care of, and everything that was optional was also arranged for everyone.
Now that she is in the position of a noble concubine, she has the power in her hands, and issuing this case is just a trivial matter that slips through her fingers.
In the past, when she was a favored noble lady, many people looked at her with envy - overtly or covertly, and even tried to criticize her with some sour and evil words.
Now that she has become a noble concubine, those who were jealous and jealous have shut their mouths, leaving only Baba looking up in envy.
Human nature is generally like this. When you surpass others by a little, others will envy you; when you surpass others by a large margin, others will envy you.
After dinner, the sixth elder brother was ready to pack up and go back to the study room.
Ji Ling asked someone to go down and ask the kitchen to make a plate of sister-in-law cakes and a plate of fried dumplings.
The sister-in-law cake is only slightly larger than a chess piece, oily but not greasy, crispy but not loose, fragrant and glutinous, sweet and salty - the soul lies in the harmony of sweet and salty flavors.
The other fried glutinous rice balls were learned by Ji Ling from the "Xia Kitchen Fang" app before he traveled through time. This is a standard snack for lazy people. It is very simple to make. Put the glutinous rice balls into the pot, fry them slowly over low heat, and wait until they become soft.
If it turns light yellow, take it out of the pot quickly.
If you want the taste to be better, roll it in the sweet-scented osmanthus honey, skewer it with bamboo skewers, and eat it like small meatballs, so that your hands are not dirty.
The sixth brother ate three skewers in one go and wanted to get the fourth skewer, but Ji Ling stopped him - the glutinous rice balls are all made of glutinous rice. Even though they are now soft and glutinous, they smell delicious in your mouth. If you really eat too much, then
It's hard to digest.
The sixth elder brother began to direct Xiaoyangzi.
Little Yoko was used to serving his elder brother. Basically, he knew exactly what the sixth elder brother would bring and what he would not bring, even better than Ji Ling, the mother-in-law.
After the sixth elder brother had wiped his mouth, Xiao Yoko had almost packed up everything on the table, handed it over to the handyman and the young eunuch, and followed the sixth elder brother back to his elder brother's house.
It's okay if he never comes back, but having to come back and stay for a while before leaving inevitably makes people feel sad about parting.
Ji Ling sent his son out.
Qilin also staggered out and rubbed his head on Brother Six's leg.
Brother Six squatted down, hugged Qilin, and rubbed its face affectionately. Qilin hummed in a low voice and purred from his throat, seeming to express his longing for his little master.
The feeling of giving up.
Ji Ling stood on the steps of Tiandijiachun.
On spring and summer nights, the night wind is thinly cool, like fine sand blowing across people's faces, and there is the sound of tiny insects chirping in the grass.
She looked at her son's small but upright back, and whispered for a long time: "Go ahead, watch your own path, walk slowly, and walk steadily."
Brother Six stood in the shadow of the light, paused, and walked resolutely forward without looking back.
The third princess rubbed her eyes and came out to see her brother off. Ji Ling saw that the clothes she was wearing were thin and she was afraid that her daughter would catch cold, so she urged the servants to take the third princess back to the house.
After Brother Six left, the small courtyard of Tiandi Family Spring suddenly became quiet.
In her dream that night, Ji Ling dreamed of fried glutinous rice balls. When she woke up the next morning, she asked Qixi to tell the kitchen to continue making the fried glutinous rice balls from last night and add rose sauce.
.
This snack does not take time to make, and the kitchen has already brought it to you soon. Rose jam is also used to outline the petal pattern, and small glutinous rice balls are dotted in it, just like the fruits on the flower tree, it is extremely cute.
Ji Ling had used it in the morning and still wanted to eat it at noon. Xiao Dazi was almost speechless when he heard in the dining room that the rice dumplings were still being fried.
After Ji Ling had lunch, he asked people to use bamboo skewers to skewer fried glutinous rice balls, which looked like candied haws, and then sent Xiao Fenzi to Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace.
Xiao Fenzi was the chief eunuch, so he didn't have to do anything. Naturally, the little eunuch would hold the food box for him. When he got Jiuzhou Qingyan, he was very lucky, just in time for the emperor to come back from the court.
Xiao Fenzi saw a bright yellow parade coming here from a distance, and immediately knelt down and knelt down to say hello.
Yinzhen saw him from afar and thought Ji Ling had something important to do. But when he heard that they were bringing pastries, he was quite curious - Lingling wanted to bring him food. Naturally, she thought
It's delicious, I can't wait for him to try it, it's not an invitation to be pampered.
But he couldn't help but think about it: In the Kangxi Dynasty, the various tricks and tricks in the harem were so wonderful, such as sending nourishing soups and elegant snacks to the emperor from time to time, and showing the concubines' beauty.
Lan Xinhui is kind, gentle and considerate, these are all old-fashioned methods.
At this time, after so many years, there was only one person who cared about him. Especially in the past one or two years, he had seen Ji Ling's status rise again and again, and he had both children, and the situation was complete.
The concubines in the harem were a little discouraged.
When they arrived at the Qingyan Palace in Jiuzhou, the washing eunuchs were waiting for Yinzhen to wash up and change clothes. Su Peisheng wanted to join in the fun and reminded the emperor from the side - do you want to try the delicious food sent by Concubine Chen while it's hot?
Yinzhen nodded.
Then Su Peisheng opened the lid of the food box with his own hands. Yinzhen took a look inside and saw a row of strangely shaped and cute little glutinous rice balls crowded together. Some of them were already attached to the wall of the food box. There were also two Lantern Festivals from
The bamboo skewer rolled off, and the glutinous rice skin had stuck to it.
The bamboo sticks are crooked.
Su Peisheng said "Hey!" and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is very careful. These are all skewered, and you don't need chopsticks!"
