Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 422 Brewing
"The wine in the palace is gone, so let's buy some from outside. If you don't drink chrysanthemum wine on the Double Ninth Festival, something is really missing." Ning Chen said.

But Ye Yun shook his head, "The chrysanthemum wine brewed by the imperial court is different from the taste outside. Those who are good at the wine must know it after tasting it. Isn't it a disgrace to the royal family, making the courtiers think that the chrysanthemum wine that is available every year in the palace is worthless?" Don't take it out, and besides, getting enough good wine from outside is also a big expense."

Her worry was not unreasonable, and Ning Chen fell silent for a moment.

At this moment, Mo Yu came in, "The tea seems to be cold, and this servant will make a new pot."

Brew a new pot.

These few words suddenly made Ye Yun's eyes light up.

Turning around, he said, "Your Majesty, why don't we make wine ourselves?"

"Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival. Although wine can be made today, the taste will be different if it is not stored for a year." Ning Chen said.

"No, the brewing that the concubine said was made on the day of Chongyang, by the relatives and ministers and the emperor, and stored until the next year before drinking. This is also an interesting thing for the monarch and his ministers to enjoy together."

Ye Yun raised her eyes slightly, met Ning Chen's eyes, and said her thoughts seriously.

"There are also five altars of chrysanthemum wine that have survived. I remember that there are osmanthus wine, pine flower wine, and lotus wine brewed by the imperial court in the wine cellar. Why don't you just have a flower wine party and add these other kinds of wine? After drinking it, the emperor's reward can also be exchanged from chrysanthemum wine for other court wine, which is more expensive than chrysanthemum wine."

The idea was novel and unique.

It's interesting to think about the people who only drink together and never make wine together.

Ning Chen's eyes couldn't help but be tinged with admiration, "The brewing of chrysanthemum wine is not complicated. The process mainly lies in the koji, ingredients, and storage. You only need to prepare the ingredients in advance."

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will leave this matter to my concubine." Ye Yun said with a blessing.

Ning Chen patted her hand, "You don't have to blame yourself for being flustered, it's just wine, it's not a big deal, everything is up to me,"

"Well, with the emperor here, the concubines are naturally not afraid of anything." Ye Yun smiled slightly.

The four eyes met, and everything was silent.

After coming out of Jiuchen Palace, Ye Yun went to the Brewing Department.

On the Double Ninth Festival, the next year’s chrysanthemum wine will be brewed. All the materials that should be prepared have been prepared, and the steaming will start tomorrow.

Ye Yun stayed here for a full half a day, and asked the people around him to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Hospital several times. It was not until dinner time that everything for tomorrow was arranged.

In order to ensure that there would be no mistakes, Kong Qing was deliberately left here to watch.

The chrysanthemum wine was gone, and everyone in the harem was waiting to see Ye Yun's jokes.

Although the emperor had punished Concubine Jingxian, it still couldn't solve the situation of no wine.

At that time, if someone started talking about it and caused the emperor to lose face, he would not believe that the emperor could still love the imperial concubine so much.

The next day, the Double Ninth Banquet was held in Qionghua Hall as usual.

This time the Queen Mother did not come.

She was really sick, caught the cold and couldn't go out. This morning Ning Chen went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to serve decoctions.

But it's fine if you don't come, now that Ning Chen is about to open the net to the UK, the Queen Mother will find out by then, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it.

It's not that the British Duke has done much evil, but he has embezzled too much and has too much greed. He used to want to sway Ning Chen through the mother, but now he wants to achieve his goal through his daughter.

Keeping such a person around will always be a disaster.

But at the banquet at this time, Ning Chen was still very close to the Chen family of the British public.

"I saw that my uncle looks very good, and he doesn't look old at all. I am blessed to have my uncle's help and guidance for a few more years."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it is only natural for a minister to devote himself to the emperor, and everything is only obeyed by the emperor's order." The British Duke bowed his hands.

Ning Chen smiled again and said, "Uncle has served me in the imperial court, and he has served me humbly and patiently in the harem for many years, and he has also done his best. It is really my blessing. Today is the Double Ninth Festival, let Jin Qian and Rongrong be Shunyuan."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked sideways.

Now Qian Shunyuan's promotion speed is too fast, she has such a high status before she has a child, so she will have to go up even more when she gives birth to a prince in the future.

Even if Concubine Ming was so favored, she was promoted to the ninth concubine only after she became pregnant.

Qian Shunyuan stood up to thank her, with a slightly shy expression on her face.

She was disheartened at first, but over the past year, Ning Chen put his heart into acting, which really made her heart warm up slowly.

But all of this is a bad fate from the beginning, and there will be no good results in the end.

But this is all for later, at this moment Ye Yun cooperated with Ning Chen's actions in a timely manner, and made a somewhat appetizing expression.

Looking a little anxious to ask for credit, he opened his mouth with a smile.

"The emperor only rewards Qian Shunyuan now, and the concubines will also ask for rewards later. This year, the concubines specially thought of a new thing, which can make the emperor and the adults have fun together."

"Oh? I don't know what kind of whimsy my concubine has, so don't play tricks on me." Ning Chen raised his eyebrows.

Ye Yun slightly hooked her lips, and gently clapped her hands outside the door.

Afterwards, two rows of maids with mahogany trays in their hands filed in, and stood neatly beside the guests in the palace.

There was a small stove on the tray, as well as a few things in bamboo baskets, and other tools.

"What's the meaning of the imperial concubine, don't you want to make tea?" Qi Xiurong asked while supporting his stomach.

She has always loved these elegant things, so she is very interested.

Ye Yun smiled softly, "It's not about making tea, it's about brewing chrysanthemum wine. I have ordered people to prepare other materials. You just need to do a little work. This year, we will brew it ourselves and seal it up. You can drink it next year." Brew your own wine."

"Your Majesty, what a clever idea, this king usually only drinks, but has never brewed wine. I don't know what the taste of the wine brewed by himself is." King Ping's eyes lit up for the first time.

Originally, he was a man who loved idleness and wild cranes, but after the death of Concubine Yao Taigui, he became more relaxed.

Ning Chen took advantage of the situation and said, "The noble concubine is always smart, so let me brew this chrysanthemum wine with you, and drink with you next year!"

After finishing speaking, he waved to Ye Yun again, "The imperial concubine will brew a pot of wine with me, and I will taste it with the imperial concubine next year."

Ye Yun winked and smiled, and then she stepped forward gracefully, and sat beside Ning Chen.

With this example, many people immediately pulled their wives to make wine together, which actually had a different meaning of strong love and honey wine.

The distiller's yeast and so on have been prepared long ago, and they are all simple tasks at the moment.

Pick some chrysanthemums, angelica, and rehmannia root from a basket of ingredients, and cook them in a small stove. During the waiting time, they talk and laugh as usual.

Then filter out the decocted juice, mix it with the steamed glutinous rice that has been prepared earlier, add wine koji, put it in a pottery, and seal it up.

Led by Ning Chen, each of them wrote a line of poems on red paper, signed them, and pasted them on the wine jar. In the coming Double Ninth Festival, they will taste them individually.
