Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 36

Woohoo, sour, spicy and delicious, Wang Miheng wished he could drink up all the soup at the bottom of the bowl, with a satisfied expression on his face.

After eating, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue and licking her lips. After doing all this, she suddenly felt that the surrounding atmosphere became a little stiff for some reason.

Wang Miheng raised his head, and looked at a pair of phoenix eyes with some scrutiny and a smile in front of him.

"Uh..." Wang Miheng swallowed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth stopped abruptly.

"How long has the emperor been here, why didn't you remind the concubine?" Wang Miheng hurriedly stood up from the embroidered pier, went up to greet him and blessed his body graciously.

"You are inconvenient, so you don't need to be so polite in the future." Kangxi held her hand and said with a smile.

Wang Miheng pursed his lips and smiled: "The emperor said so, and my concubines will be said to be ignorant of etiquette in the future."

Kangxi glanced at her with a half-smile: "If Mier doesn't want to, then pretend I didn't..."

Before Kangxi finished speaking, Wang Miheng hurriedly interrupted his words: "Who said that the concubine is not willing, the concubine dare not disobey the emperor's will."

Wang Miheng had a proud smile on her face, she seldom smiled like this, and in Kangxi's eyes, she just thought it was very good.

This kind of her is a little more agile than the usual submissive and gentle.

There was a sour and spicy smell in the room, and Kangxi's appetite was whetted. Even though it was not time to pass the meal, he still felt a little hungry.

"Go get some food. Seeing how delicious your food is, I'm a little hungry." Kangxi glanced at Wang Miheng, with a teasing smile in his eyes.

When he said this, it was obvious that he was teasing her, Wang Miheng twitched the corners of his lips, and there was a wicked smile in his shining eyes.

"Your Majesty, sit down, and this concubine will go to the small kitchen to have a look."

Hearing what she said, Kangxi knew that she had "bad intentions", but he didn't intend to expose her.He likes to see her sly and agile appearance very much, her whole person looks much more alive.

Kangxi didn't nod or shake his head, but his actions let Wang Miheng know that he had acquiesced.

"Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea first, and the concubines will come as soon as they go." After saying this sentence, Wang Miheng turned around and walked out of the hall with a blessing.

The court lady Qiumei glanced at Kangxi, then at her young mistress, and finally hurriedly followed.

Now, she is becoming more and more unable to guess her little master's mind, and she always does unexpected things out of nowhere.

Fortunately, the emperor did not blame him.

He was even willing to cooperate with the little master's thoughts.

Qiumei shook her head and quickened her pace, saying that they are slaves who really don't understand what their master thinks.

Also, if you can understand, it is not the life of a slave.

It was the first time for Wang Miheng to go to the small kitchen of the Qixiang Palace. Firstly, in her capacity, she really didn’t want to make people feel uncomfortable. Secondly, the smell of oily smoke in the ancient kitchen was too strong, no worse than the modern one. There is a range hood or something.

Although Wang Miheng is carefree on weekdays, he still has a little cleanliness in essence.

As long as she thinks of the pungent smell of oily smoke exuding from every pore of her body after cooking, she feels incapable of accepting it.

So after coming here, she actually understood why the daughters of those famous noble families worked so hard on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in cooking, they just learned how to make a few snacks, or make tea or something. That's all.

Because occasionally cooking and making some delicious snacks is a kind of fun, which can enhance the relationship between husband and wife, but if it is really regarded as a craft, the effect will not be as good as imagined.

Just imagine, which man in this world can be interested in a woman who smells of oily smoke every day?

Unless, this man has neither money nor is he a cook, so he will understand your beauty.

That's why some men really don't like women playing with ink, because after a long time, she will naturally have a scent of ink on her body.

Although the fragrance of ink is also fragrant, for men, the smell is naturally more exciting than the fragrance of no makeup.

But today, she really just went all out and didn't care about anything. Anyway, with Kangxi's acquiescence, no matter how she showed her talents, she would still act according to the order.

When Wang Miheng walked in, the maid Qiulan and the eunuch Xiaoluzi looked surprised, they had never seen the young master come here before.

Although they were surprised, the two of them knelt down to pay respects reflexively: "The slave (servant) pays respects to the young master, why did the young master come here?"

"Get up, go outside and wait, I can just come here."

"Little master, how can this be done, your body..."

Wang Miheng waved his hand and said casually, "Why can't this work, just ask Qiumei to help me."

Seeing the resolute expression on her face, the two had no choice but to back out.

"My lord, what exactly do you want to do?" Seeing Wang Miheng flipping this and that, Qiumei who was following her couldn't help asking.

Wang Miheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and there was a smirk in his eyes: "Didn't you hear that the emperor said that he was hungry? Your master, I plan to cook a few dishes for the emperor to taste."

When Qiumei heard this, her eyes widened suddenly. Why didn't she know that her young master had such a talent?

The masters in this palace have more or less skills, but they are limited to making desserts, such as emerald jade bean cake, sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root cake, creamy pine rolls, Poria cocos cake and so on.But these snacks cannot be eaten by the emperor.

Subconsciously, Qiumei felt that her little master was about to cause trouble again.

While Qiumei was in a daze, Wang Miheng quickly washed a potato, first cut a knife at the bottom, repaired it flat, and put it on the chopping board. Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of cutting in the room. The sound of dishes.

Qiumei came back to her senses, looked at her master's skillful movements, and opened her mouth in surprise, until Wang Miheng handed her a bowl of shredded potatoes in front of her.

"Rinse it." Wang Miheng stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, his eyes were full of smiles.

"Oh." Qiumei was at a loss for words now.

While Qiumei was washing the vegetables, Wang Miheng prepared spare things such as Chinese prickly ash, chopped green onion and shredded green pepper.

"Master, it's done." Qiumei put the vegetable bowl on the chopping board, and watched her little master scoop some water into the basin, then put some vinegar in it, and soaked it for a while.

Wang Miheng glanced into the pot, not paying attention to Qiumei's surprise at all, and poured some oil into the pot, put pepper in it, and soon, the whole room was filled with fragrance.

Wang Miheng picked out the prickly ash, put in a lot of dried red peppers, and after smelling the spiciness, put in a little green onion, and then poured the shredded potatoes into it for a long time.

At this time, Qiumei was already in a daze.Didn't it mean that the father of my young master is the county magistrate of Suzhou?Could it be that she made a mistake?

Seeing Qiumei's dazed expression ever since she came in, Wang Miheng couldn't help laughing: "You girl, I asked you to help, but you just froze by yourself."

While talking, Wang Miheng poured in vinegar, soy sauce, salt and sugar in turn, and after arguing for a minute, he finally put in the prepared shredded green peppers.

At this time, the whole room was filled with an unusual hot and sour smell.

Wang Miheng picked up the chopsticks and took a sip, with a very satisfied expression on his face, and then he scooped the vegetables on a delicate plate.

"My lord, you really... have opened my servant's eyes." Qiumei moved her lips and said intermittently, but what she really wanted to say was that the emperor would also "open her eyes".

And my master, is it really okay to put so much chili and vinegar?
Looking at the red shredded potatoes on the plate, Qiumei couldn't help shivering.

Although the emperor has a better temper in front of the young master, he can't bear the young master's torment!

Qiumei was "frightened and frightened" in her heart, and scooped up a bowl of white rice and a bowl of red bean porridge in a trance, and put the hot and sour potato shreds made by Wang Miheng in the food box, just like Wang Miheng. walked out behind.

In fact, God knows that if possible, she really wanted to accidentally fall to the ground and destroy some very dangerous things along the way.

Seeing Wang Miheng coming in, Kangxi put down the tea cup in his hand, stood up with a smile, and walked to Wang Miheng's side: "Mi'er, I have been waiting for a long time for this meal."

Wang Miheng pursed his lips and smiled: "Then the emperor has to reward his face by eating all these dishes."

Kangxi was in a very good mood today, and said loudly: "That's natural, Mi'er cooks in person, this opportunity is rare."

Wang Miheng secretly smiled in his heart, and then motioned to Qiumei, who was standing beside her, to take a look. Qiumei's hand holding the food box trembled imperceptibly, and then put the things in the food box on the table one by one. on the table.

A bowl of white rice, a bowl of red bean porridge, and... a plate of hot and sour potato shreds exuding a rich and sour taste.

Looking at the plate of shredded potatoes that smelled pungent and spicy, the corners of Kangxi's mouth twitched involuntarily.

It seems that he still underestimated the courage of this woman!

Kangxi gritted his teeth. It is said that he often walks by the river without getting his shoes wet, but it was the first time for Kangxi to be forced to do this by a woman.

For the first time in his life, Kangxi felt that the four words "Jinkouyuyan" that he heard very pleasantly on weekdays were so uncomfortable.

Wang Miheng held back a smile and looked helplessly at Kangxi who was sitting at the table, but he felt extremely happy in his heart.

Although she didn't have the opportunity or the ability to have a big fight with him, she could still have a little revenge.

Besides, this hot and sour potato shreds is also her favorite.Speaking of which, is she still very kind?
Kangxi picked up the chopsticks, took a bite and put it in his mouth, chewing carefully, without any discomfort on his face.

Then, under Wang Miheng's gaze, he ate the whole plate of hot and sour potato shreds and the whole bowl of rice with great interest.

Finally put down the chopsticks, said leisurely: "That's right, Mier's cooking skills are still very good." Immediately afterwards, he instructed Qiumei: "Remember in the future, when I pass on the meal, I will add such a dish."

"..." Wang Miheng's eyes widened. Who could tell her how things turned out like this?

"Okay, I still have something to do at court, I'll come to see you at night." Kangxi gave her a very "gentle" look, then stood up, turned and left.

Wang Miheng's heart was agitated by his gentle look, and he said that the hair on the tiger's head could not be pulled out, but what would happen if he pulled it out?
Seeing Kangxi coming out, Li Dequan immediately went up to meet him, but when he approached, a hot and sour smell came to his nostrils.

"Your majesty, this is..." Li Dequan was puzzled. He had served the emperor for many years, and he had never heard of any hot and sour dishes that the emperor liked to eat!
What's more, it's still so hot and sour, could it be that the emperor's taste has become so strong before he knew it?
Li Dequan thought about it in his heart, and then saw his master raised his arm to sniff, and then waved it vigorously in the air.

"What a hell!" Li Dequan murmured in his heart, why did he go to the secret master's place, and the emperor didn't even want his manners?
