Mao concubine smiled and raised her cup, looked at Concubine Nian from a distance, then turned to Concubine Yin, and said calmly and calmly: "Your Majesty, concubine I wish you good health, and Concubine Nian as blessed as the East China Sea.
This day."
Nian Fei's complexion recovered a little.
She stretched out her hand, raised the small monochromatic glaze wine glass on the moon-white enamel porcelain plate in front of her, and drank it with a tilt of her head.
She drank so hard that she choked and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed several times before she stopped.
Zhuyu hurriedly came forward and wanted to change the drink in front of Concubine Nian to a cup of souchong flower-flavored tea. Concubine Nian didn't look back and raised her hand to stop her movement.
He picked up the cup, stood up with a smile on his face, and said to Yin: "Your Majesty, today is the birthday banquet in Yikun Palace. Concubine Mao offered the first cup to my concubine, and I will offer the second cup to the emperor."
Yin picked up the cup and drank. Concubine Yu was sitting in the first place. At this time, seeing that Mao Bi wanted to drink with Concubine Nian, she spoke abruptly and interjected: "Sister Mao Bi is an old woman with bad health."
Yes, although you are happy today, you don’t have to be brave and drink too much, or you may hurt your body.”
As soon as she said this, everyone looked at her. Everyone knew that Yufei Geng was the best at drinking.
In the past, when he was in the Prince's Mansion, if the Fourth Master encountered any problems in the morning or was in a bad mood, he would often go to Geng's place for a few drinks.
At that time, Geng was still in disgrace. During the draft, the late emperor personally pointed it out to Yin, saying that he looked at the face of this tall, fat girl and looked like she was blessed.
As a result, after Geng Gege entered the house, he never had any chance to show his face in front of Yin.
Until someone discovered that this girl was particularly "good at drinking".
After having the fifth elder brother Hong Zhou, the Geng family also followed the mother and the son. No matter how Yin felt about her, as long as the fifth elder brother was around, he could not help but respect his biological mother. Therefore, as soon as Yin ascended the throne, the Geng family and
Like Li Zefu and Jin, he was made a concubine.
This is a preface, so I won’t mention it for now.
Ji Ling looked at Mao Bi and smiled faintly. She put down the cup and glanced at Yu Fei nonchalantly.
I finally managed to gain some sense of presence in front of the emperor, but I was suppressed by Concubine Yu who forced herself to be a good person...
In the Qing Palace, except for the New Year's Day, the concubines rarely had such an opportunity to accompany the emperor. If it were not for the favor of the Nian Concubine, several empresses would not have seen the emperor for more than half a year.
Yin listened to several people talking, but the expression on his face remained calm. When the women saw that he was silent, they gradually closed their mouths, and then he raised his wine glass to signal to everyone.
At this time, all the concubines stood up together, raised their cups, and saluted in unison to say thank you. Then the maids brought soup, meal, and milk tea to the concubines.
After drinking the milk tea, Ji Ling saw Su Peisheng commanding a group of young eunuchs and starting to "turn the banquet".
The so-called transfer banquet means that the dishes on the banquet table are delivered to Yin in sequence.
I saw four little eunuchs coming forward, struggling to hold up a yellow satin embroidered gold dragon inlaid with gemstone table apron. This table apron is almost the same size as a bed. It is covered with red paint and has exquisite gold-painted cloud and dragon patterns around it.
, after putting down the table surround, Su Peisheng took a set of green and white jade plates, plates, copper cloisonné enamel bowls, silver chopsticks, and spoons from the eunuch serving the meal, and placed them neatly in front of Yin.
Su Peisheng stepped forward and opened the copper-plated pine canopy cover with his own hands, and the aroma of the hot food inside immediately burst out.
After the transfer of the banquet, the atmosphere really became lively. The maids serving the meal held up the trays and delivered the hot dishes with full color, fragrance and flavor to the concubines one after another. There should be no pauses in the middle, and the movements of the maids should be light and neat.
, don't spill a little soup on the masters' table.
Ji Ling's seat was at the very back, so his turn to be served was naturally the last.
Seeing that the palace ladies finally came towards him, Ji Ling watched eagerly as they put down four hot dishes.
Qixi waited and opened the cover of the dishes, and saw inside a dish of drum crab, a dish of three fresh dragon and phoenix balls, a dish of guinea fowl held in a stove, and a dish of auspicious roasted deer breast.
Yin took a few bites of roasted deer breast, and couldn't help but think of the barbecue Ji made for himself in the east courtyard of Jingyang Palace. Both were barbecued meats, and the tastes were somewhat similar.
Thinking of Mr. Jigui, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and search among the crowd.
After searching for a while, I saw her in the corner. I saw Ji Ling eagerly staring at the four dishes in front of her, saying something, as if urging her personal maid to hurry up and prepare the meal.
…
Yin couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth, but he felt a little happy in his heart: This Ji family always has this kind of virtue when seeing food!
He remembered that after Ji went to bed, he went to Jingyang Palace for the first time for her.
Although he was in Maobin's main hall at that time, he still called the Ji family.
At that time, Ji couldn't take her eyes away from the two plates of cakes on Maobin's table, which made Yin even wonder if Maobin had treated her harshly.
As a result, after several months of contact, he discovered that he was thinking too complicated. In fact, this Ji family is just greedy...
Not only is he greedy, but he also knows how to eat.
Whatever delicious food comes into her hands, she can always disrupt the combination of ingredients and give people an unexpected and innovative combination, such as those barbecues, hot pots...
Yin felt disgusted with these messy dishes at first, but after putting them in his mouth... they were "really delicious".
Qixi picked up three fresh dragon and phoenix balls with chopsticks and placed them on the filigree ice-patterned plum blossom plate in front of Ji Ling. The dragon and phoenix balls were a mixture of shrimp and chicken, with minced garlic, chestnuts, diced white radish, red kidney beans, etc. inside.
, wrapped in glutinous rice flour, fried in a pan, and then topped with chicken cheese and milk. Put it in a small red mud jar, seal it with lotus leaf paper, and officially untie it when you want to eat.
The so-called three delicacies are three types of mushrooms served in the soup stewed outside.
Ji Ling picked one up, opened his mouth and tried to take a bite of the puff pastry on the outside...
As a result, I couldn’t stop...
The dragon and phoenix balls are sour and sweet, the freshness of the shrimp and the tenderness of the chicken are mixed together, stimulated by the garlic, it is simply a feast for the taste buds.
Simply delicious!
Ji Ling pushed Qixi's arm and asked her to pinch six or seven of them.
Qing palace dishes are expensive but not expensive. There are only eight dragon and phoenix balls in a plate.
Ji Ling finished them all in a hurry, then licked his lips with unfinished content, picked up the hot towel in the small porcelain plate next to him and wiped the soup on his mouth, only to find that several concubines opposite him were looking at him.
, the expression on his face is hard to describe...
Zhang Guiren was sitting next to Ji Ling. At this time, he gently pushed the jar of three fresh dragon and phoenix balls in front of him in the direction of Ji Ling, and said kindly in a low voice: "Ji Guiren, I still have...
”.
Ji Ling showed an awkward yet polite smile to Zhang Guiren.
Qixi held the guinea fowl between her arms and said with a loyal expression on her face: "Master, do you want to try the guinea fowl again?".
Ji Ling touched her belly and was about to speak, but when she turned her eyes, she saw Yin looking at her from a distance.
Yin turned his head slightly and said something unknown to Su Peisheng beside him.
Su Peisheng agreed, turned around, and pointed at a little eunuch behind him and gave a few instructions. The little eunuch turned around and walked away in small steps.
Now that the emperor had looked at her, Ji Ling naturally didn't dare to eat as happily as she had just done. She took a chopstick, dipped it in some sauce out of boredom, and painted various patterns on the white plate.
.
While he was painting, he saw three fresh dragon and phoenix balls served in front of him. When Ji Ling raised his head, the first thing he saw was the color of the eunuch's clothes.
She jumped up and sat up straight, and saw Su Peisheng put down the plate himself, and said in a straight voice: "Your Majesty has given you, a first-grade three-fresh dragon wind ball, for the noble Lord!"
