Chuntao went outside, scooped a pot of boiling water in the pot, poured it on the sea bowl, soaked the steamed buns in it, and waited for the steamed buns to melt, then ate them with water, just like eating mutton buns.
"It's almost a bit oily, salty, soy sauce."
When Chuntao heard about it, she added some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar into the boiling water of the steamed buns, and it tasted really good! As for the pickles, the master and the servant ate with relish, not only warming the heart, but also warming the body, with flushed cheeks and sniffling nose.
"Queen, don't say it, it's really delicious!"
"In the past, when we marched and fought, we had no food or drink. That was a common occurrence. Under such circumstances, we had to find ways to solve our stomach problems. Over time, we learned a lot of ways to eat."
Seeing Rong Changan and Chuntao eating so happily, the two court ladies not only sighed sadly.
If Rong Changan yelled and scolded, they thought it was normal; but Rong Changan was content with this kind of bad food, they really didn't like it.
"Queen, if there is no other order, we will go back first."
Rong Changan covered his mouth and picked his teeth: "Go back, if you meet Zi Yan again, tell her that there is any way to torture me, just use it. If she can torture me to death, that is Her ability."
The two maids murmured and looked at each other without saying anything.
Walked out of Fengming Palace, but happened to meet Ziyan waiting under the corridor.
"Does Rong Changan like the steamed buns I gave you?"
The palace lady replied: "The queen put the steamed buns in boiling water, and it was delicious!"
Zi Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at the maid in disbelief. Can Rong Changan eat steamed buns that are as hard as stone
"Is she starving?"
The maid said: "Empress Rong can..."
Ziyan suddenly widened her almond eyes: "She has been abolished now, you still call her queen? Are you looking for a beating? You want to be called Rong Shuren, you know?"
The palace maid said quickly: "The servant girl blurted out for a while, and the imperial concubine Wanwang forgives me."
Ziyan couldn't help frowning when she thought about the scene of eating hard steamed buns.
"She really ate all the steamed buns?"
The maid said: "Rong commoners really have a way. Put the steamed buns in boiling water, put some salt, some oil, and some vinegar, and eat them with pickles. Watching them eat, both of us are going to drool."
Zi Yan snorted coldly: "When I think about it, I can think of the poor images of Rong Chang'an and Chun Tao! Since they love food so much, you can send them according to today's recipe in the future. I think they can eat from steamed buns. Can you eat meat!"
Dusk descended on the Forbidden City again. In the main hall of Yongan Palace, the abbot's table was set up. The table was filled with imperial food, soup, fruit, barbecued meat and pancakes.
Yan Li looked at the dishes in front of him, but he didn't have any appetite, his mood was low, his eyes were downcast, and he put his hands on his temples, disgusted.
Seeing it, Ziyan scooped up a bowl of dragon and phoenix soup and handed it to Yan Li.
"Your Majesty, this is a stewed soup made of chicken and snake. It's called Dragon and Phoenix Soup. It is very nourishing to the body. Your Majesty, drinking a bowl will heal the wound quickly."
Yan Li looked at the whitish soup and the rising heat, and couldn't arouse any interest. He waved his hand, signaling Ziyan to put down the soup.
Zi Yan said: "This is a great tonic soup, the emperor should drink some!"
Yan Li suddenly dodged Longmu, looked at Zi Yan sternly, and spoke in a cold tone, Zi Yan couldn't help shivering after hearing this.
"What do you mean? Let me drink dragon and phoenix soup? Are you cursing me and the queen?"
Zi Yan was taken aback: "Your majesty, my concubine...how could this concubine curse you and the queen! It was made by the cook, not me." Eyes full of grievances, the eye sockets were moist and watery, "The concubine feels distressed Your Majesty, I want you to drink more nourishing food. Who would have thought that you would scold me like this? It seems that I am being self-indulgent!"
Pretentious, sobbing, wiping the corners of his eyes with a white handkerchief.
Dragon Phoenix Soup does sound like an unlucky name, and Ziyan hated that cook, why did she choose such a name! When she went back, she had to slap the cook twice to relieve her anger.
Yan Li's eyes softened when he saw the grievance between her brows and eyes.
"The weather has been too cold for the past two days. I caught a cold, and I feel a little uncomfortable, and my speech is a little unpleasant. Don't worry about it."
Zi Yan hastily offered her courtesy and said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? I'll call the imperial doctor for you right now." After a pause, her trembling eyes turned, "Your Majesty, sleeping alone at night is not only lonely, but also It is difficult for one person to keep warm, but if two people are together, it will be much warmer. How about, how about I come to Yong'an Palace to accompany the emperor tonight?"
If he wins Yan Li's favor, he is not afraid that he will not be able to seize Rong Chang'an's military power.
The corner of Yan Li's mouth curled into a hint of sarcasm: "You want to use a beauty trick to drive a wedge between Zhen and Chang'an, don't you?"
Facing Yan Li's fierce gaze, Zi Yan was a little at a loss.
"Your majesty, you have misunderstood my concubine again! My starting point is for the emperor's dragon body."
Yan Li sneered and said, "I just caught a cold, it's not a serious illness, so I don't want Ziyan to accompany me."
Looking at the dragon and phoenix soup on the table, I thought: Fengming Palace must be cold at this time, such a good soup, even though the name is indecent, but the taste is still very beautiful.
"Elder-in-law, you send this Guzi soup to the Queen, and let the Queen and Chuntao taste it. Remember, don't call this soup Dragon and Phoenix Soup, the name is unlucky."
The eunuch asked, "Then what kind of soup should it be called?"
Yan Li thought for a while: "It's called Missing Soup."
After finishing speaking, Yan Li turned to the back of the screen and half-lyed on the yutai to read a book.
The eunuch looked at the soup on the table, then at Zi Yan: "Concubine, this..."
Zi Yan tilted her mouth, and smiled coldly: "Even if this soup is poured for pigs, Rong Changan won't take it!"
The eunuch said: "Yes, just follow the imperial concubine's order. I will pour the soup for the pigs to drink."
Zi Yan was so angry that she could bite her lips to the point of bleeding. This Yan Li doesn't know what's good or bad, I treat you wholeheartedly, but the person you're thinking of is Rong Chang'an! After a few days, Pan Meichen entered the capital, even if you begged me to lick my feet, I wouldn't even look at you!
He didn't eat any more, he flung his cold sleeves, and walked out of Yong'an Palace in a huff, only to see Lin Hai and Song Qiang head-on, coming with clanging footsteps on the snow.
Zi Yan pondered in her heart: one of these two men is in charge of the Imperial Army, and the other is in charge of the Northern Army. They are both people with military power. Could it be that they came to look for Yan Li at this time because of Pan Meichen's affairs? If I let them in, wouldn't my efforts be in vain
Standing on the steps of the gate, he coughed twice and smiled: "Isn't this Commander Lin and General Song? What are you talking about coming to Yong'an Palace?"
Song Qiang pouted his mouth, he felt angry when he saw Ziyan.
"We came to the emperor to discuss important matters."
"If there is something to do, I will write a memorial for the emperor to see. Now the emperor not only has a back injury that has not healed, but also caught a cold and is not feeling well. He is lying on the imperial bed to rest! I am going to ask the imperial physician."
Song Qiang and Lin Hai looked at each other, and then cast distrustful glances at Zi Yan.
"Zi Yan is a very cunning woman, and none of her words are true." Lin Hai whispered in Song Qiang's ear, "She deliberately prevented us from seeing the emperor."
When Song Qiang became angry, his face turned red into a piece of charcoal.
"We want to see the emperor, get out of the way!"
