"Aunt Musk Moon, today's lamb chops are really fresh!" Wen Rou was wearing a snow-white apron around her waist, waving her arms, and looked relaxed in front of the stove in the small kitchen of Ganlu Hall.
"Miss Wen really has good eyesight. This is a new black goat from Fanbang. It is said that it was born between the hanging cliffs. It is extremely difficult to catch because it is good at running and jumping, and it is extremely rare. The meat quality is really the best in the world! Empress Li Fei said that it is severe winter now, and she was thinking of cooking this lamb chop with pepper and ginger to make a lamb chop with pepper and ginger, which is the best way to nourish the body!" She Yue said, bowing her head again to do other work things went.
"Concubine Li is so kind to the emperor! Because of the nourishment of the season and integrity, she is rarely considerate in the palace." The gentle face exuded sincere praise.
"Ah! What is this!" At the moment when Ruan Rou was chatting with Musk Moon, Zhu'er, the little court lady who had been helping the cook in the small kitchen, let out an exclamation, and then her whole body flashed far away.
In front of him, a dark object was quietly placed on a quiet white porcelain plate.
Hearing the sound, Ruan Wen walked over quickly, and it could be seen that it must be the thing on the plate, which scared the panicked little maid!
"Hehe, this is Niuzi." Rourou glanced at the items on the plate and smiled.
"Niuzi?! Miss Wen, what is Niuzi? It looks creepy!" The little maid raised her head, and carefully glanced at the thing on the plate again.
"A cow's son is a cow's..." Gentle approached the little maid's ear, and whispered the word "gao pill".
The little palace lady blushed with shame, her little heart almost jumped out of her throat.
"Then... can I eat it?" the little maid asked tentatively in a soft voice.
"It's edible! This is a good thing! Complementing the shape with the shape, this is the whole heart of the concubine Li!" Hearing this, She Yue walked over quickly, took the cow on the plate, and handed it to the gentle hand.
"Don't worry, aunt. This is really a very good thing. Tonifying yang is the best. Later, the servants will use pumpkin to flavor it. Use the sweetness of pumpkin to cover the fishy smell of the cow itself. It will definitely satisfy the empress Li and the emperor. "With a gentle smile, he took the cow on the plate.
"Mm. Cook carefully. I'll go to the front hall to have a look first. When the emperor comes later, you will deliver the food." Musk Moon said, and walked out of the small kitchen steadily with her head held high.
"Miss Wen, this... is this really edible?" Zhu'er's face was still flushed, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Everything is edible, and everything is effective. I think that Empress Li is going to be ready to spread her branches and leaves for the emperor again." Gentle smiled softly. Immediately turned around and went back to work.
In fact, it's not a day or two to help the cook in Ganlu Hall. Every time Empress Li calls Musk Moon to ask her to move. Tenderness is suspicious.
It stands to reason that according to the rumors inside and outside the palace, since Concubine Li is the emperor's favorite concubine, their husband and wife must be sticky and indistinguishable from each other.
Even if he is the emperor of the Great Zhou Jiuwu, even if she is just one of his concubines!
In addition to scruples about his due status, that gluey sense of affection should also be visible to outsiders.
However, every time. Gentle followed Muskyue to serve the banquet, always feeling a kind of cold strangeness.
It seems that Concubine Li did not treat Liu Heng with the same enthusiasm and straightforwardness as Liu Heng treated her.
at first. Wen Rou joked about her doubts to Ren Yue, Ren Yue once explained jokingly that the way men treat women is different from the way women treat men.
Liu Heng is an outspoken gentleman, whoever he likes, he will treat whomever he likes.
As for Concubine Li, she is a concubine in the palace. Although she is the emperor's favorite concubine, to put it bluntly. After all, she is still a woman, not lacking in shyness. Or it's hard to say that I love you.
That's why it made Wen Wen, an outsider, seem a little uncoordinated.
"Is that really the case?" Gentle still didn't understand.
"Little fool, don't worry, when I marry you three years later, I will also tell you the truth everywhere." Ren Yue smiled slyly, stretched out his hand, and gently scratched his gentle and delicate nose.
However, today, in this small kitchen that is so familiar, for the first time, I saw the cows that Empress Li concubine prepared for Liu Heng...
The gentle heart suddenly felt a little excited.
What Ren Yue said is correct, this is a matter between their husband and wife, the Empress Li cares about the emperor, if not, this bastard...
Gently wash the beef, add pumpkin and lemongrass, and carefully cook it into a delicate curculigo beef pumpkin soup.
Mutton is warm and has the effect of tonifying yang; Niuzi is beef gao balls, which have the same effect as lamb chops; pumpkin is a warming ingredient.
This meal is full of deep passion, and when it is cooked gently, it naturally shows joy.
Prepared a few refreshing and subtle side dishes, warmed up a pot of imperial wine and served.
It looks like something good is going to happen tonight!
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, waiting for Liu Heng to finish approving papers from the South Study Room, come to have dinner, and then stay overnight.
The lights in Ganlu Hall seem to have been turned off earlier than before.
After serving the emperor and Concubine Li's dinner, Musk Moon exited the palace with gentleness and respect.
"Aunt Sheyue, is Li Concubine satisfied with the hot pepper and ginger lamb chops and the curculigo oxzi pumpkin soup prepared by the servants tonight?" As soon as she left the palace gate, she asked with a gentle smile.
"The duty of being a slave is to do what the master tells you to do well, and do your own thing well! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't inquire about what you shouldn't inquire about!" She Yue said with a cold face, and the concubine Li at the banquet tonight. same.
"Miss Wen, why don't you leave?" Just when Wen Wen was stunned in place, she couldn't figure it out, Musk Moon had already disappeared from her sight, replaced by a crisp voice behind her.
Turn around gently.
"Zhu'er, it's you!" It was none other than the little palace maid who had been helping her cook in the small kitchen of Ganlu Hall all along.
"It's been a busy day, and Zhu'er is exhausted. Ms. Wen should go back to settle down sooner. This is the imperial dining room, and it's also in the Manna Hall. It's really hard work for Ms. Wen." Zhu'er thumped her soreness lightly. shoulders.
"Pearl, you go back first, I'll go to the kitchen to pack up the knives and then go back." Rourou bowed her body and replied politely.
"Then, see you next time." Zhu'er ran away quickly, turned around after a few steps, and said with a smile: "Today I really learned a lot, Niuzi... Hehe, thank you Miss Wen for your enlightenment!" After finishing speaking, she was brisk again disappeared into the boundless night.
The side door of the Prince's Mansion opened slightly, and Zhu'er's figure flashed in.
