My Fantastic Chef Wife

Chapter 318: Court banquet

Ye Xiaoxian also makes mooncakes in the backyard.

The moon cakes she makes are different from the moon cakes of this era. She will put a lot of fillings, such as bean paste, lotus seed paste, and Wuren, and they are more exquisite than Zhang Deshui.

When Zhang Deshui heard that Ye Xiaoxian had made mooncakes, he came over and asked early and wanted to discuss with Ye Xiaoxian a few to go back to eat.

Ye Xiaoxian was not stingy either, and gave him a few each.

When Zhang Deshui tasted it, he just thought that the moon cake tasted so good that it was even better than the pastry chef in the palace.

Ye Xiaoxian did a lot, and also sent some to the servant girl who served her in the courtyard.

She comes from the modern age and she already has the concept of "Equality for everyone", so she doesn't treat the court ladies differently and everyone has a share.

The court ladies and the wives could not help grateful for eating her mooncakes. They can usually eat mooncakes in the house, but they are not as delicious as Ye Xiaoxian did, so they are more interested in Ye Xiaoxian.

...

Li Chengyi and Li Chengru also celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although the road is far away, Mid-Autumn Festival cannot be overwhelmed.

They are now on the waterway, a small square table is placed on the boat, and a plate of moon cakes is placed on the table. When the full moon rises from the river, they begin to sing poetry.

What a bright moon is born at sea, and Tianya is at this time.

Sing a poem, eat moon cakes and drink a little wine, and then talk about some things in the court, both of them were full of emotions.

But no matter what, they are out of danger this time, and they will be able to return to Baoning City soon.

...

The situation on the north side is different.

Every place in the imperial court was happy, and every household was united, but the north was full of war. On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Baoshan launched a new round of offensive, and the Beiqing Army was beaten back fifty miles in a row, with heavy casualties.

If Beiqing cannot fight back, or if they do not have reinforcements, they can only surrender.

...

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the capital is still peaceful.

Successive news came from the north, which made Li Chengkun very happy. It was also good to bring a harem. Some rare treasures from various tributes from all over the world were sent to the harem.

When the Queen counted these rare treasures, thinking of so many rare treasures, she planned to hold a small banquet and invited the officials to attend. After the dinner was over, the rare treasures would be rewarded.

While sorting out the list of officials, the queen suddenly thought of Ye Xiaoxian.

Last time I met Ye Xiaoxian, I only knew that she looked like a queen mother. She glanced in a hurry. She didn't have much impression. She didn't know what kind of person she was, and she could be delighted by Li Chengru.

You know, Li Chengru rarely makes real friends, and the person he likes must be someone with ability.

In addition, Ye Xiaoxian looks like a queen mother, and the queen and the queen mother don't deal with it very much. She has been hoping that the queen mother can make some rumors, and the reputation will be a little worse.

If Ye Xiaoxian is invited into the palace, other officials will see Ye Xiaoxian looks like a queen mother, they will definitely talk behind them, thus involving the national teacher.

After all, Ye Xiaoxian lived in Guoshi Mansion, and Guoshi had an affair with the queen mother.

Maybe they would think that Ye Xiaoxian was the daughter of the national teacher and the queen mother.

Wouldn't it be happier if it made Ye Xiaoxian and the empress get in trouble at the same time?

Thinking of this, the queen added "Mrs. Xiao Baoshan Ye's" to the list.

Anyway, Xiao Baoshan is now fighting outside and making contributions, and inviting his wife to come over. This is also justified.

...

The invitation of Guoshifu, Mrs. Guoshi and Ye Xiaoxian also arrived.

The National Teacher didn't think much, just let Wan Shijie take the invitation to Ye Xiaoxian.

Now that Xiao Baoshan is not in Beijing, Li Chengyi and Li Chengru also went back. No one would think of taking Ye Xiaoxian away. As long as one or two masters are sent to stare at Ye Xiaoxian, she will definitely not escape.

Besides, Jin Xiaoyu is still in the house, and Jin Xiaoyu cannot go anywhere.

Jin Xiaoyu exploded in anger at this.

She is not rare in the palace, but why is she the one left behind every time?

After spending a long time in Guoshifu, will she be bored?

Unable to follow Ye Xiaoxian into the palace, she angrily went to the garden at the Guoshifu to pick flowers, and picked a lot of flowers to insert in the bottle.

Both the housekeeper and the mother-in-law told her not to pick flowers at random. She did n’t listen. She was only happy when she finished picking and said, “I ’m from the country, I do n’t understand your rules here.”

The steward and grandma were angry, but they couldn't treat her like that. The teacher said, treat them both well.

...

Ye Xiaoxian is going to the palace, then you have to dress up well.

This dress can not be a normal dress, it needs to be very careful, almost according to the standard of the palace.

Bathing and grooming is a must. After washing, you have to pluck your legs and fine hair on your hands. You must also repair your eyebrows. The bun should be combed according to the standards in the palace.

The queen probably knew that Ye Xiaoxian did not have much clothes and jewelry, so she gave her some rewards and sent them to Guoshifu in advance.

Ye Xiaoxian is now the wife of the general and can bear it, but it is just some clothes and jewelry that will not attract the jealousy of other officials.

After the whole body was cleaned up, the maid replaced Ye Xiaoxian with the clothes given by the queen, and put on the jewelry sent by the queen. After wearing the jewelry, Ye Xiaoxian only felt that he was heavy.

The jewelry on the bald head is about five or six pounds.

There are more than ten pounds on the hands, on the neck, and on the clothes.

These clothes look light and fluffy, but with jewelry, they feel a bit uncomfortable when walking.

In addition to clothes and jewelry, makeup is also different from the usual day. The royal family of the Daqi Dynasty has regulations that official women in official occasions should wear court makeup, such as lips, into a modern bite makeup, and only draw half of their eyebrows.

Ye Xiaoxian, with the court makeup on her face, is like a lady in painting.

She looked in the mirror again and she could hardly recognize herself.

The woman in the mirror is charming, but like a mask, she hides her true self. In short, it is a thick feudal makeup.

Jin Xiaoyu has been vomiting this ugly makeup, how can a normal woman do so.

Dignified is dignified, but this is too dignified.

After applying makeup, two maids helped Ye Xiaoxian go out.

It is very solemn to help her by one person, and lift the skirt for her by another person.

When she left the house, there were two carriages outside. The maid told her that one of them was the wife of Guoshi. The wife of Guoshi had not come out. She had to wait for the wife of Guoshi to get on the carriage before she could get on.

Ye Xiaoxian had to wait at the door.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Guo also came slowly.

Although he lived in the palace for so long, it was Ye Xiaoxian who saw the wife of the National Teacher.

Mrs. Guoshi looks like she is in her forties. She looks pretty good, and her skin is very well maintained, but her appearance is not very good. It looks a bit mean, like she has accumulated a lot of grievances for a long time.

She also heard a lot of gossip in the house these days. The Master of the State and the wife of the Master of the State are not affectionate. They hardly shared the room.

However, Ye Xiaoxian felt that this wife of the Master of Nationals was never like a long-term buddha. People who truly believe in Buddha are kind-hearted or indifferent. The wife of the National Teacher is obviously a person who is unwilling to deal with the world.

Mrs. Guo Shi also saw Ye Xiaoxian now.

She has always heard that Ye Xiaoxian is from the country and has good cooking skills, so in her eyes Ye Xiaoxian should be an ordinary peasant woman, with a dark appearance and a fat figure, similar to Zhang Deshui.

Unexpectedly, she took a closer look, and she suddenly froze.

Where is this impression of the cook, clearly ... how does it look like that fox spirit?

Although Mrs. Guo Shi has always pretended to be praying in good faith, but she knows a lot of gossip, she also knows that she is entangled with the queen mother.

Mrs. Guo has a portrait of the Queen Mother. When she is depressed, she takes out the portrait of the Queen Mother to take a look. Every time she looks at it, she feels that it is a vixen. Then throw it on the street again.

Now, when Mrs. Guo saw Ye Xiaoxian, she couldn't help but show a portrait of the Queen Mother.

How could it be so similar?

With the same makeup, the same gorgeous clothes, exactly the same as the vixen.

Could it be that there is another reason why his own man trapped Mrs. Xiao in the house?

Or is it that the man and his mother have children?

Impossible, she heard that the current Empress Dowager was dedicated to the Emperor Xian. If she had had children, wouldn't the Emperor Xiandi be aware of it?

Anyway, Mrs. Guo felt that the incident was nasty, so when she walked in front of Ye Xiaoxian, she looked at Ye Xiaoxian and then hummed fiercely.

"..." Ye Xiaoxian only felt inexplicable and unprovoked. I don't know where I offended Mrs. Guo?

Is it because she didn't cook for her later?

Mrs. Guo Shi did not say anything on the carriage, and then Ye Xiaoxian was put on the carriage by the maid. Then Wan Shijie and a group of guards followed the carriage, and the carriage went slowly into the palace.

...

Arriving in the palace, Ye Xiaoxian was helped down, and then replaced with a sedan chair.

The treatment this time is much stronger than last time. Last time I walked all the time. This time I barely touch my feet.

Last time she was not allowed to enter the concubine's living area, but this time she was directly carried into it.

The further you go inside, the more magnificent things you see, all kinds of rockery pavilions, all kinds of flowers and trees, and the busy court eunuch.

The place where the queen lives is called Ziyun Palace, which is more elaborate than the Guoshi Mansion, because it is a place where women live, and there are more flowers and plants in the Guoshi Mansion. It looks like a fairy palace.

Soon, Ye Xiaoxian was also taken to the inner hall.

Although it was a party, there was no one clamoring, and the officials sat in the hall, two by two tables.

The wife of the National Teacher was taken to the previous position. Ye Xiaoxian was arranged at the end for reasons of identity, sitting with a lady who was a concubine.

These are still small square tables, and there are quite a few places where you have to sit down.
