When setting dinner, Gu Yu brought back the words of the Empress Dowager Song, saying that Mrs. Tong Amber could visit her in the palace tomorrow.
That being the case, what else can Song Jinning say? Just ask someone to reply to the person from Tong Amber Mansion.
As for Gu Yu, even though Song Jinning asked her to go down and rest, she refused, and helped set the meal together after cleaning her hands.
After a while the food was ready, Gu Yu came over and invited Li Chengxuan and Song Jinning to have dinner.
Li Chengxuan walked to the table and sat down, looking at the dishes on the table, many of which he had never seen before.
Subconsciously looked at Zhou Jing.
In the past, Zhou Jing would stand by the table and report the names of the dishes one by one every time a meal was served, but Song Jinning didn't have this rule here, so it directly caused Li Chengxuan's eyes to turn black, and he didn't even know what the names of these dishes were. .
As for Zhou Jing, he was also in a dilemma.
Although he knows the ingredients of these dishes, how can he know what to call them together
Facing Li Chengxuan's gaze, he felt cold sweat running down his back.
I had to say based on experience: "This dish is fried yam with asparagus, this dish should be water spinach, and this dish should be pork ribs..."
Layers of cold sweat broke out on Zhou Jing's back.
Mother, what are the names of these dishes? You can't just report the ingredients to His Majesty, can you? How vulgar that is.
It was Song Jinning who saw his embarrassment, took his words and began to report the names of the dishes.
"This dish is indeed fried yam with asparagus, this dish is mashed garlic spinach, and this dish is pork ribs with plum. This is fish-flavored shredded pork, this is Kung Pao chicken, this is double-cooked pork, and this is winter melon and white jade mushroom soup."
Zhou Jing: ...
Even the dishes in the restaurant outside would have nice names such as auspicious or literary, especially imperial cuisine. This was the first time he had heard such a straightforward dish name.
So just now he actually made a mistake and made a mistake
Li Chengxuan was not as surprised as Zhou Jing.
Although this guy doesn't say that his limbs are not working, it must be that he doesn't distinguish between grains and grains. The names of any dishes are actually similar to his ears.
On the contrary, she pointed to the fish-flavored shredded pork with great interest and asked Song Jinning, "There is fish in this dish? Why didn't I see it?"
No matter how I looked, I didn't see any fish, but I saw a few shredded meat.
"How not?"
Song Jinning deliberately teased him, and said with a smile, "I specially asked someone to catch this fish from the pond in the Imperial Garden. It was still alive and kicking when it was put into the pot."
Gu Yu and Bai Lu, who stood by and waited on, twitched their mouths speechlessly.
Ma'am, just make it up!
Li Chengxuan had already seen Song Jinning's ability to talk nonsense in a serious manner, and now he knew that she was coaxing him again when he saw the playful smile in her eyes.
And the pond in the imperial garden is full of koi, can they be used for cooking
With a soft snort, he ignored Song Jinning, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of shredded fish-flavored pork, and began to eat slowly.
Although there is no fish in this dish, does it taste like fish
It's really fun to tease this person once in a while, but he's not even angry.
You must know that this is the emperor after all, if he is really serious, he will put a big hat on her for the crime of deceiving the emperor because of what she just said.
When Song Jinning thought about it this way, he felt that Li Chengxuan was actually quite good.
So I wanted to show him more delicious food in the world.
He asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this fish-flavored shredded pork?"
Li Chengxuan had already picked up several chopsticks and ate the shredded fish-flavored pork.
To be honest, this dish is sour, sweet, and fresh. It is indeed a strange taste that he has never tasted before.
But he was awkward and refused to admit it, in order to prevent Song Jinning from feeling that he was ignorant.
"Barely able to enter."
Zhou Jing: ...
Your Majesty, is it really okay for you to be so duplicity
If it's really just barely enough to eat, then what's the matter with you eating so much just now? Even a blind person can see that you like to eat this fish-flavored pork shreds very much, can the queen not see it
Aren't you rushing to let the queen tease you
But to his surprise, Song Jinning did not tease Li Chengxuan for this remark.
Song Jinning automatically ignored Li Chengxuan's declaration, and told him the truth that this dish did not use fish as an ingredient, and its peculiar taste was completely prepared with various seasonings and sauces.
"Since His Majesty likes this taste, next time His Majesty comes over, I will ask someone to make a dish of fish-flavored eggplant for His Majesty to taste."
Eggplant can also be made into this taste
Li Chengxuan actually doesn't like eggplant very much. To be more precise, he actually doesn't like to eat vegetarian dishes, he only likes to eat all kinds of meat, but after hearing what Song Jinning said now, he found that he has started to look forward to this dish of fish-flavored eggplant.
At the same time, he also noticed that Song Jinning has been eating those few vegetarian dishes since the beginning......
After a pause, he still couldn't hold back and asked, "Do you like to be vegetarian?"
I remember eating with her a few times, and she seems to eat more vegetarian dishes.
Song Jinning was taking a spoon to fill his own bowl with winter melon and white jade mushroom soup, when he heard the words, he replied, "Not really, I eat both meat and vegetables. But maybe I do eat more vegetarian dishes."
Putting down the spoon, she looked up at Li Chengxuan with a rare serious expression on her face.
"The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic has a saying, 'The five grains are for nourishment, the five fruits are for help, the five animals are for the benefit, and the five vegetables are for the supplement. , how about eating only meat?”
After she entered the palace, she discovered that no matter whether it was Li Chengxuan, the Empress Dowager Song, or Li Xiyan, the daily meals were mainly meat, and there were very few vegetarian dishes.
How can this work? If things go on like this, something will happen.
Is this her persuasion
But her persuasion seems to be quite different.
Li Chengxuan refused to admit that he had actually listened to Song Jinning's advice in his heart, but he still refused to admit it on the surface.
Instead, he laughed and teased Song Jinning: "I didn't expect you to read medical books. Why, do you want to become a master of Xinglin in the future?"
Medical books? Xinglin master
Song Jinning's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, she had never read medical books before. Non-professionals have no professional guidance, and they don't understand it after reading it. The way of keeping in good health that she said just now was actually what his father told her.
But now she stays inside the four square palace walls all day, and has nothing to do every day, so she might as well find a few medical books to read.
First, it can pass the time, and second, not to mention becoming a generation of Xinglin masters, it is also good to know how to keep in good health according to the seasons.
As for professionals and so on, if there are so many imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, for example, if you don't ask about Liu Lanxi, that's a waste of this excellent resource.
Moreover, Liu Lanxi's appearance is so handsome and elegant, just looking at it will make people feel good. If you can ask him for advice from time to time, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort...
So following the good wine making, Song Jinning found a new hobby for herself.
Li Chengxuan didn't know that his unintentional words opened a new door for Song Jinning, seeing the joyful expression on her face, he was still wondering what happened to her.
Li Chengxuan did not leave after the meal. Song Jinning understood that this was the time to act again.
Show it to the Empress Dowager Song and those courtiers.
Although there are only a few masters in the palace, there are thousands of people serving them.
As the saying goes, there are too many people, and I am afraid that the next day, the news of when Li Chengxuan will enter Weiyang Palace and when he will leave will immediately reach the ears of the Empress Dowager Song and some ministers.
Harmony between the emperor and empress is always a blessing to the country, and Song Jinning is also willing to cooperate in this regard.
When resting at night, according to the usual practice, Song Jinning sleeps on the bed and Li Chengxuan sleeps on the couch.
It's just that the weather is getting warmer, and annoying mosquitoes have appeared along with it.
Song Jinning used to put down the tent when she fell asleep. Without him, I just feel that it can be divided into a small private space, and she feels very safe staying in it.
So she naturally couldn't feel the infestation of mosquitoes, and she slept quite peacefully.
It's just that in the middle of the night, she heard a few slapping sounds like clapping hands, but she didn't care.
It was the first time when I had breakfast with Li Chengxuan, I was surprised to see a small red spot on his face and neck.
As for the emperor, he didn't have any crops, and he stayed indoors for most of the day, so his skin must be white.
Li Chengxuan still has a rare cold white skin, so these two little red dots are very conspicuous on his body. So Song Jinning asked curiously.
It's hard for Li Chengxuan to say that it was bitten by a mosquito last night. This His Majesty is still shameless.
Moreover, he was infested by mosquitoes last night, and he didn't sleep well all night. Now the two little red dots @叶@波 are still itchy, so his temper is naturally not much better.
He just glanced at Song Jinning and didn't speak.
Song Jinning still felt that he was quite inexplicable.
I care about him with good intentions, but it's fine if he doesn't appreciate it, and show her face
I didn't ask any more.
Zhou Jing, Gu Yu, and Bai Lu who were waiting on the sidelines also heard Song Jinning's previous question, and subconsciously glanced at Li Chengxuan secretly.
After seeing the two little red dots clearly, the three of them: ...
The so-called tip of the iceberg, His Majesty can see these two bright red dots on the face and neck, how many marks are there on the place that is hidden by the clothes and cannot be seen
It seems that the battle between His Majesty and the Queen last night was very intense.
Gu Yu's complexion was reddish. Oh, she is still a big girl with yellow flowers, she will definitely be shy when she sees this.
Bai Lu was expressionless. This one is the one with the textbook facial paralysis face, and there has been no unnecessary expression on his face for many years.
As for Zhou Jing, he had a clear expression.
Remember what he said about the husband who was dissatisfied with his newly married wife at first, but was later captured by his wife's good cooking skills, and the husband and wife lived happily ever after
So as early as after seeing Li Chengxuan eating an extra bowl of rice here in Weiyang Palace, Zhou Jing had already predicted the ending of the empress and He Meimei.
Song Jinning had no idea that these three had such rich imaginations. After breakfast, Li Chengxuan went to court, she packed up and went slowly to Shoukang Palace.
Li Xiyan is also there. The two cousins talked with the Queen Mother for a while, and a palace maid came in to announce that they had come with Mrs. Amber.
Not only Mrs. Tong Amber came, but also her daughter Song Jinfu.
This cousin, Song Jinning, has met twice, and vaguely remembers some of her descriptions in the book.
She is an arrogant master, and her appearance is as bright as a flower. Mrs. Amber had always wanted to stuff her into the palace, and then she did. In my impression, Li Chengxuan seemed to have sealed her with some kind of Zhaoyi in front of the Empress Dowager Song.
But then Song Jinfu's grade stopped at Zhaoyi, and she didn't go any further.
However, a girl from the Song family also entered the palace together. This girl seems to be good at dancing, she is a ruthless character, and later became a concubine.
The same is true for Concubine Wei in a trance. The family sent two girls into the palace at once, one was of high status and was not well-known, and the other was from a humble background, but later became one of the four concubines, competing with the daughter of the Song family.
Not to mention the daughters and younger sisters of other ministers' families who were sent to the palace one after another.
Tsk, from this point of view, Li Chengxuan's charm is not shallow.
It's a pity that after meeting his true love, Jiang Wanqiu, all these good fortunes of his melted away like the scorching sun.
Thinking about it this way, Song Jinning actually started to feel sorry for Li Chengxuan.
