Next, Yinzhen talked non-stop and got animated. He personally took the "Quotations of the Imperial Selection", opened it page by page, and showed it to Ji Ling.
Ji Ling took it and flipped through it at random, and saw a poem called "Burning Pills": "Lead sand and medicine, pine and cypress burn the cloud altar. The furnace transports yin and yang fire, and the power is both internal and external pills. The light rushes and shines, and it is supernatural.
Wei Longpan. I feel that the immortal body is ripe, and the heavenly talisman descends from Ziluan."
Her heart trembled suddenly.
From this poem, it can be seen that Yinzhen was deeply obsessed with elixirs.
If I remember correctly, the death of Yongzheng in history cannot have nothing to do with alchemy!
And now it is the twelfth year of Yongzheng...
Although, this time and space seems to be different from the historical trend.
But... what if the alchemy thing coincides?
Seeing Ji Ling staring blankly at that page, Yinzhen misunderstood and raised his hand to touch her cheek.
He stretched out his hand, covered the back of her hand with his long and strong fingers, and said with a smile, "I wrote it."
He's so energetic, this isn't a good time to talk.
Ji Ling didn't speak for a while.
She lowered her head and nodded silently.
Yinzhen was immersed in the book, and he rarely noticed it. He just hugged Ji Ling tightly with one hand, held the book in the other hand, and started to turn the pages with enthusiasm.
…
In the blink of an eye, November of the twelfth year of Yongzheng's reign has arrived.
It got cold early in the North this year. It was only November and it was already snowing.
The snowflakes flying all over the sky fell down and fell on the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City. The long street was silent. Only the eunuchs or maids on errands were walking on the snow, and their boots and embroidered shoes made the sound of snow.
A rustling sound.
In the Chengqian Palace in Ji Ling, the little eunuchs originally wanted to clear all the snow aside, but the third princess looked at the white snow outside and shouted excitedly that the servants might clean it up.
So the front yard of Chengqian Palace was exposed like this.
The earth was completely white.
It was snowing outside. It was so cold that a serving eunuch running back from the outside shivered. When he entered the house, he stomped his feet and shook the snowflakes off his body, bringing a cold air into the house.
When Xiao Dazi saw this, he ordered someone to serve him a bowl of ginger soup that had been prepared long ago.
The little eunuch took it over with a smile and drank a bowl of ginger soup. His chest and abdomen suddenly felt hot, and there was heat rising up, making him no longer cold.
Xiao Dazi brought the lunch dishes over with his own hands, handed them to him, patted his shoulders and asked him to run errands.
The lunch was so delicious - the aroma filled the whole room.
The little eunuch carefully lifted the lid, tilted his head and took a look inside - it was spicy cabbage and mashed potatoes.
Xiao Dazi glared and scolded: "Nonsense!"
The little eunuch shrank his neck, stuck out his tongue, and quickly closed the lid again.
Another little eunuch came over, holding an umbrella and carrying a pastry and food box. The two of them got together and walked side by side to the master's front hall. It was raining and snowing, and it was not safe to fall into the meal, so they had to hold on.
Hold an umbrella.
In the front hall, the earth dragon burned extremely warm, and waves of heat rushed upwards. The third princess only wore an autumn dress, with a palm-sized rosette and pale pink hairpin inserted in her bun. There were no other decorations.
Yong, clinging to Ji Ling's side, coquettishly coquettishly flirting with E Niang.
Lunch was delivered.
The spicy cabbage and mashed potatoes at the beginning were made by Ji Ling who clearly explained the method, taste, and shape. He relayed them all to Xiao Dazi and asked him to make them according to his own example. It also comes with barbecued meat and spicy fried rice cakes.
There is also spicy cabbage bibimbap, with pan-fried tender beef lying on top, two yellow fried eggs, finely chopped, and jade-like cucumber shreds next to it.
Although there are no precious ingredients on this table, it is even more difficult to make it because of this.
Xiao Dazi tried for more than half a month before finally making it.
Ji Ling took a bite and thought it was very good.
The spicy cabbage and mashed potatoes - cabbage is spicy and crispy, sour and sweet, white and red in color. There are very few shredded carrots in the mashed potatoes for coloring. I occasionally eat one, and it tastes sweet.
It's sweet and makes people want to eat it.
And that spicy cabbage pancake.
The softness of the dough is all blended into the spicy cabbage. There is very little oil, so it doesn't taste greasy. A little pepper is added, and it tastes a bit like potato pancakes.
These are all dishes that are never seen on the Qing palace menu.
But it’s okay as long as it’s delicious!
The third princess sat opposite her, very quiet - she only had one mouth and no time to talk.
My daughter enjoys eating more than she does.
Ji Ling ate half of the food and sent someone to tell Xiao Dazi to make a portion each of spicy cabbage pancakes and spicy cabbage mashed potatoes, and he personally sent them to the Yangxin Palace.
The timing of sending him there was not good - Yinzhen was receiving ministers in the Yangxin Hall, and Xiao Dazi passed by. Xiao Chenzi inside, tiptoeing on his hands and feet, walked over to meet him with a smile on his face.
When Su Peisheng saw that he was from Chengqian Palace, he flicked his fly whisk and waited until he could see clearly that it was Xiao Dazi and not Xiao Fenzi, then he didn't move.
Xiao Dazi and Xiao Chenzi were facing each other, gesticulating like they were guessing riddles, and saying a few words under their breaths. When they turned around, they saw Brother Six coming through the snow. It looked like he had finished class in the Master's Study Room.
Came here directly.
A group of minions followed behind.
Su Peisheng glanced at him and hurried over to meet him. His face was full of smiles. He stretched out his hands to hug the sixth brother's waist. His voice was as soft as coaxing a child, and he said in a low voice: "Such a big one."
Snow, why did sixth brother just walk here on the snow and ice without taking a sedan? Even if you are not afraid of freezing your bones, the place is slippery, so you have to be careful when walking."
As he spoke, he glanced at the servants behind Brother Six.
The sixth elder brother was about to speak when he heard Yinzhen's voice inside suddenly rose up, and his tone was already full of displeasure: "The officials of the five cities, each have their own jurisdiction, and taking people across the border will inevitably cause nuisance."
"However, if you encounter people fighting, drinking, kidnapping or threatening people on the road, if you ignore them because the place is not under your jurisdiction, and then run away without a trace, is this the way to investigate and rectify them?"
The reprimanded minister kept saying below: "I am confused! No matter where you are, I should transfer it to the city's magistrate to hear the details, and wait for the censor to interrogate and make a decision!"
Not long after, the man's face turned gray and he crawled out.
Su Peisheng looked at the man's back, stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, brushed the snow on his sleeves, and then heard the emperor say to another person inside: "It's cold this winter, so the date of the general examination will be changed to March. It will still be at the beginning of the year as usual.
Admission on the 8th.”
This time, his voice was much gentler and smoother, and he added: "You can bring hand stoves to warm your pens and inkstones. Leather clothes and thick cotton clothes are allowed to be worn, but they are not allowed to be taken by others to cause harm. There will be tea and food in the venue.
, provide supplies, give ginger soup and charcoal in the morning and evening, no shortage is allowed."
Brother Six listened quietly.
Snowflakes slowly fell under the eaves behind him.
