Shangshi female official

Chapter 58 Longevity Vegetables 2
"Your Majesty praises it absurdly. The concubine only knows some common sense of diet. As a concubine, I naturally have to advise the emperor to give priority to the health of the Eucharist, and to nourish at the right time."

Li Niangniang couldn't speak, but the princess beside her couldn't sit still, and teased: "He came from General Du's family, he is really knowledgeable and talented."

General Du?Wang Yifu thought, could it be Du Jingmo's family?Then he took another look at the empress, she and Du Jingmo really looked alike, she was wearing a grape purple satin dress with many magnolia flowers embroidered on it.

She speaks every word and every sentence, quite proudly.Li Niangniang didn't dare to offend her, and even respected her three points,
The truth is that although the concubine de concubine took possession of it, the palace maid of Bucai dared not disobey the order of the concubine Li, and took the initiative to bring the bowl of soup. After Mammy Chen tried the poison, the emperor did not refuse, and reluctantly took a sip.

During the entire banquet table, the emperor did enough for Li Niangniang.

Mother Chen persuaded: "Your Majesty, there is also a cold "long-lived dish" today, and the emperor tastes the "long-lived dish" and it is also nourishing."

The emperor glanced at the table and asked, "Where is the "Longevity Vegetable"?"

The cloth cabbage maid brought the "Longevity Vegetable" in front of the emperor, but there were some small round leaves on a few purple-green stalks, with sauce hanging on them.

"I'll try it."

The palace maid gave out a small portion of the cloth dish, and the emperor tasted it. At first, his face was not good-looking, and he swallowed it after chewing. After eating, he asked Mother Chen: "What is this dish? Why is it called Longevity?" vegetable."

"Back to the emperor, this dish is purslane, medicine and food are of the same origin. Purslane has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. The heat and poison are the most abundant during the Dragon Boat Festival. If you can clear away heat and detoxify during the Dragon Boat Festival, you can live a long life."

"That's how it is. Although this dish is not easy to eat, it has such a good effect. If it can be used by me, it is a good dish."

One sentence silenced everyone present, especially Qiu Gonggong and his ilk, who couldn't figure out what the Ninth Five-Year Lord's words flew from outside the sky, what did they mean, was it to remind them, or to remind others?
"Nowadays the world is peaceful and the people are rich, and all good dishes are naturally served in the emperor's bowl."

Nanny Chen broke the deadlock with a flattering sentence, which made the emperor burst into laughter and said, "Chen Shangshi, you are a good dish."

It was hot during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the masters and nobles didn't eat much at noon, so they stopped eating after a while.

Wang Yifu originally planned to use colorful zongzi to make Mo Xi's face grow, but Li Niangniang wiped it away with a word, and the emperor didn't taste the colorful zongzi, let alone a reward.

When Wang Yifu returned to the Shangshi Bureau in the afternoon, Mo Xi and Juanzi were sitting at the door eating rice dumplings. Seeing her plain face, she guessed that she was not at all happy, and patted the stool beside her and said, "Come on, Let's drink realgar wine."

Wang Yifu sat down, took a rice dumpling, cut the rope, and pulled the leaves, "I wanted to earn you a chance, but I failed."

Mo Xi picked up her long tobacco rod, took a deep sip, exhaled, and said, "I ate the zongzi you made."

"What did you tell me to do? You prepared the rice and stuffing, I just wrapped it up."

Mo Xi shook her head and said, "Your cooking is better than mine."

"Are you making fun of me?"

"Your round rice dumpling has exactly one filling in one mouthful. You can taste all four fillings. It is salty, sweet and fragrant. When the thin and long rice dumplings are steamed or boiled, they are evenly heated, and the taste of several layers of rice is suitable."

"That's also a coincidence. I just ate this kind of zongzi when I was a child. I just did it. I didn't think about it carefully. How could I be greedy for credit?"

"If today's colorful rice dumplings were made by you, the result might be different."

Wang Yifu shook her head helplessly, and said: "It's hard to say. Today, Madam Li asked the emperor to taste the tonic soup. The emperor was happy for Madam Li. He forgot after taking a small sip. It doesn't matter whether the zongzi tastes good or not." Relationship."

"Hey, that's fate. It's useless to send the craftsmanship to the emperor. Let's not talk about it. We will drink realgar wine at the Dragon Boat Festival. This wine has been steeped for five days. Take a sip."

"I have a poor capacity for alcohol, so I won't drink." She took a wine glass and poured some wine into the palm of her hand, tapped a little between her eyebrows, palms, and soles, and continued: "My mother used to say that this can also be regarded as exorcising evil spirits and suppressing poisons." .”

They were drinking in this room away from the scorching sun, and Nanny Zhou came carrying a tray covered with a red cloth veil.

All three of them stood up, ready to welcome them, Zhou Nanny smiled and said, "Congratulations to you."

Wang Yifu wondered, "Why do you like it?"

"The Empress praised the rice dumplings at noon, she made them well, she inquired about the name, and gave Mo Xi a reward."

Nanny Zhou lifted the red hijab, and in the tray was a string of agate bracelets, a velvet flower hairpin, and a small gold ingot.

Mo Xi was dumbfounded, and Wang Yifu urged: "Mo Xi, hurry up and receive the reward."

Only then did Moxi come to her senses, knelt on the ground and stretched out her hands, saying, "Thank you for your reward."

Nanny Zhou handed her the tray and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is still a reward."

Moxi raised her head and looked at Nanny Zhou foolishly, and Nanny Zhou continued: "The Empress wants to see you, change your clothes quickly, and follow me to Kunning Palace."

When Moxi got up, her legs went limp, if Wang Yifu and Juanzi were not quick, she would have rolled to the ground.

Wang Yifu was happy for Mo Xi, supported her and smiled, "Sister Mo Xi, I'm finally going to get you out of this damn place."

"Don't talk too much, what if you just ask how to make zongzi?"

"Ask how to make zongzi, and the people from Shangshi Bureau will understand it at a glance. Why do you want to go in person?"

Moxi couldn't tell why, but Nanny Zhou urged her to change clothes and go to Kunning Palace with Nanny Zhou.

While waiting, Wang Yifu walked around the door, wondering what the Empress would reward Mo Xi, or whether Mo Xi would behave better in front of the Empress.

She was shaking back and forth until Juanzi almost fainted, Juanzi couldn't take it anymore, and advised: "Sit down and rest for a while, Moxiji people have their own celestial features."

I don't know how long she waited until Mo Xi walked slowly to their last dining room with a downcast expression.

Wang Yifu and Juanzi hurried up to meet her, but Mo Xi remained silent for a long time.

"It's okay, Mo Xi, it won't work this time, let's find another chance." Wang Yifu comforted.

Mo Xi stared blankly, only shaking her head.

"The empress is a generous and kind empress. If you make a slip of the tongue or behave inappropriately, you won't be severely blamed."

Mo Xi still just shook her head.

Her abnormal appearance made Juanzi anxious, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you fainted by the sun?" Juanzi touched Mo Xi's forehead, and asked Wang Yifu, "Is that right?" Heatstroke?"

Only then did Mo Xi slowly turn her head, and said to Juanzi: "The Empress, you personally said that you would take me to cook..."
