(Jia Geng sent it, I really like myself who codes quickly, hahaha!)
When Chu Lian was awkwardly lifted up from the ground by Eunuch Sun, she turned her head and looked back, and saw that King Jin was still standing on the steps, and his blue eyes were not looking in her direction. Chu Lian seemed to find out from his eyes that There was an imperceptible smile.
After straightening her clothes, Chu Lian stomped her feet lightly angrily, not daring to look back, afraid of falling again, this time obediently followed Eunuch Sun and walked slowly.
King Jin turned around, and at an angle that Chu Lian couldn't see, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a slight arc.
With such a temper, Chu Lian suddenly couldn't believe that she would have a private meeting with Xiao Bojian.
Could it be that her friend He Sanlang misunderstood her
Eunuch Sun brought Chu Lian to Tingyuxuan in the Imperial Garden.
He only heard him say: "Your Majesty, Lord Jinyi has arrived."
Eunuch Sun reported, stepped aside, and gave the place to Chu Lian.
Chu Lian lowered her eyes politely, and knelt down to pay respects to the Taiping Emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty: "Chu Lian pays respects to the emperor."
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter like silver bells, "The emperor's new Jinyi Township Lord is quite polite."
Emperor Taiping on his head also laughed, his voice was deep and majestic, and there was a sense of majesty, Chu Lian only heard Emperor Taiping say: "Okay, the imperial concubine will stop teasing this girl."
Chu Lian lowered her head slightly, but her eyes flashed, imperial concubine? Concubine Wei
Chu Lian's face immediately turned bitter, really didn't want to think about something but came here instead, Princess Le Yao didn't like her, but when she entered the palace, she saw Princess Le Yao's biological mother, Concubine Wei? Are you sure this is not teasing her
"Get up, raise your head and let me see."
Emperor Taiping seemed to be in a good mood today, and there was a touch of leisure in his words.
Chu Lian got up, slowly raised his head, and glanced at the two people sitting upright.
Emperor Taiping was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. He was middle-aged, but his figure was still in shape, and he had a pair of eyes that people couldn't see through.
The woman beside him, who was wearing a gorgeous purple palace dress, was about twenty years old. She was tall and slender. The high-waisted and corseted palace dress highlighted her full breasts, making her proud and tall. This is the most beloved concubine Wei in today's world. Concubine Wei has exquisite makeup, red lipstick, and a phoenix appearance. Her eyes are slightly upturned. When she looks at Chu Lian, it seems that she is look down upon.
Chu Lian just raised her head and took a quick glance at the two superior people in front of her, then lowered her head again, because she moved too fast, she didn't even see the expressions of Emperor Taiping and Concubine Wei clearly.
Taiping Emperor Pinghe looked slightly startled after seeing Lian's face clearly, his deep pool-like eyes flashed slightly, and instantly overshadowed this different expression, as if his instant surprise never existed.
Concubine Wei smiled and held Emperor Taiping's strong arm, deliberately rubbed her chest on the arm, and said with a coquettish smile: "I didn't expect that the girl from the British government is not only good-looking, but also looks good. He Jiasaburo is lucky."
After speaking, she giggled again.
Chu Lian lowered his head and frowned slightly. In the eyes of others, Wei Guifei's words may be nothing, but a harmless joke.
But Chu Lian could hear the irony in it. Noble lady, who would like to be used to talk about things, if it wasn't for the decline of the British government, no one would dare to say that in front of a girl from the Chu family in this city of Mansheng.
Emperor Taiping stared at the girl with her head hanging down, and suddenly frowned.
"Jinyi, I heard that you know how to make birthday peaches, and that birthday peaches are different from the ones in the past, so they can be confused with real ones. How about making a plate of birthday peaches in front of me to add icing on the cake for today's festive season?"
Chu Lian didn't expect Emperor Taiping to have such a request, but thinking about it, it's not surprising. On that day in Dingyuanhou's mansion, the plate of birthday peaches slapped Dingyuanhou Shizi's wife, and was praised by the old birthday man Dingyuanhou.
Chu Lian agreed without a moment's hesitation. When Eunuch Sun heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Chu Lian what ingredients he needed.
Emperor Taiping was surprised for a moment, he didn't expect this girl to agree so quickly, people at that time took the secret recipe very seriously, and if they got a secret recipe, they got a fortune.
Chu Lian making birthday peaches in public here in Ting Yuxuan means that so many servants will see them, and the secret recipe will definitely be leaked. Does she not care at all
Emperor Taiping seemed a little satisfied with this rather generous little girl.
If Chu Lian knew that Emperor Taiping was just using this sentence to test her character, she would definitely roll her eyes in her heart. Making birthday peaches is also called a secret recipe. lack.
Emperor Taiping wanted ten, and she could write them to Emperor Taiping without blinking.
Concubine Wei's eyes turned cold, she glanced at the maid next to her, tapped her fingernails lightly on the handle of the seat, the maid saw it, bowed her head and quietly backed out.
After a while, Eunuch Sun brought in all the ingredients that Chu Lian needed, and put them on a wooden table that was specially moved indoors. There was a special stove next to it, which could be used for the unique small steamer in the palace. pot.
Behind Chu Lian stood a maid, who seemed to be coming to help her.
Emperor Taiping looked into the hall, and his eyes fell on the maid standing respectfully behind Chu Lian, "My concubine, why do I feel that the maid behind Jinyi looks familiar to me?"
Concubine Wei Gui was taken aback, she didn't expect Emperor Taiping's memory to be so good, the maid was from her palace.
Concubine Wei's expression did not change at all, "This maid is from the concubine's palace, and she usually serves the concubine's soup. She is a girl with excellent cooking skills. The concubine is afraid that others will not do her best, so I specially recruited her to help Jinyi."
Emperor Taiping squeezed Concubine Wei's slender hand, "I love my concubine with a heart. Jin Yi, don't let down your concubine's heart, you have to show yourself well."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Chu Lian calmly began to process the ingredients in front of him, and the maid also came forward to help.
Although Chu Lian suspected that Concubine Wei Gui had done something wrong, even if she made a small move in front of Emperor Taiping, it would not be so obvious, so she was careful when handling every ingredient.
Concubine Wei looked at the orderly Chu Lian below, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes blinked quickly, just in time to be seen by the kitchen maid who raised her head slightly.
Concubine Wei pretended to say: "I didn't expect that Jinyi is so familiar with these cooking things. I heard that you can make some snacks. Why don't you finish it in a while and stay in the imperial dining room to teach you these skills to the imperial chef? It’s a great effort for the royal family.”
Before Chu Lian could answer, a female voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Concubine Wei, it seems inappropriate for you to say that? Anyway, Jinyi is also a daughter of a thousand gold, and now she has been made a township monarch by the emperor. Staying to teach the imperial chef, isn't it an insult to the face of our royal family?"
Concubine Wei fixed her eyes on the woman in the bright yellow dress who walked in from the door, and there was a cluster of angry flames in her eyes.
She sneered, "My sister greeted the queen. I didn't expect the queen to help her speak for the first time when she saw Jinyi. It's time for Jinyi to thank sister queen."
Empress Shen raised the corners of her mouth, turned her head and saluted in the direction of Emperor Taiping, Chu Lian also had to stop what she was doing to salute the empress who suddenly appeared.
The smile on Emperor Taiping's face disappeared, "Queen, why are you here?"
"The concubine heard that the emperor summoned Jinyi, and wanted to join in the fun. No, fortunately, the concubine came in time, otherwise I would have missed the wonderful place."
"Since you're here, sit down!"
Even though Concubine Wei had thousands of people who were unwilling, the position of empress was still on her head. In front of the empress, she could only resentfully get out of her original seat sitting side by side with Emperor Taiping, and instead sat on the seat of Emperor Taiping. next to the first.
When the eyes of the two women met, there was a flash of swords and swords.
Emperor Taiping rubbed the center of his brows, and waved for Chu Lian to continue, but he had lost his previous interest.
Concubine Wei suddenly smiled at Empress Shen with a hint of provocation in that smile, and then looked down at Chu Lian.
Chu Lian calmed down from Xinping, she didn't think too much about imperial power, even if there were three giants watching her cooking, she was just an ordinary spectator, and she didn't have much psychological pressure. She is serious about things, especially when it comes to eating. An old lady who taught her how to cook told her that the most delicious food is made by serious people.
So once she devotes herself to making delicious food, she will be extraordinarily serious. People who devote themselves to work can always give people a good impression. The trace of irritability in Emperor Taiping's heart because of the arrival of Queen Shen was also dispersed because of Chu Lian's seriousness.
He looked at Chu Lian who was following him with satisfaction, and felt a little appreciation in his heart.
After Chu Lian reconciled, the maid next to her had already washed two bright and delicious peaches and put them by Chu Lian's side for later use.
Because there was no ready-made peach-flavored concentrated juice, Chu Lian could only take the fruit himself, squeeze out the juice, and mix it into the flour, so that the steamed birthday peaches would have the sweet fruity fragrance of fresh peaches.
She picked up a handy knife, picked up the peaches and started peeling and dicing.
When Concubine Wei saw Chu Lian's movements, the corners of her mouth curled up maliciously.
"what!!!"
The next moment, a horrified and sharp female voice penetrated the entire Ting Yuxuan in the Imperial Garden...
