What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 156 Drinking Soup
In this conspiracy to get rid of Lin.

The prince is obviously much easier to use than Lu Shiwei.

There are too many variables for Lu Shiwei to be directly under the prince of the outer courtyard, and the prince is her husband.

It took her three days to arrange the side hall, the stove and the medicinal dishes one by one, and Lin Ximeng also came over.

She smiled and commanded Lin Ximeng, like ordering the most humble servant.

"Let's practice today, find a few people to taste, and stew it for the prince tomorrow."

She also added: "When the prince takes care of himself, you will have your reward."

Liangdi is a status of less than one person in the backyard and more than ten thousand people. She is a high-ranking side concubine who has been on the jade certificate, but in her eyes she has become a slave.

Those who open their mouths to reward and shut their mouths to reward.

Lin Ximeng lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes: "Thank you, Princess"

The slender hands hidden in the sleeves clenched tightly.

Don't worry, when she sorts things out and the Lin family makes a comeback, everything will be turned upside down.

As long as she lives, sooner or later there will be that day.

noon of the day.

Lin Ximeng cooked a dish of rare old duck, a dish of lotus root with squab powder, a dish of black-bone chicken stewed with wolfberry and mushroom, and a fresh soup of tender mutton stewed with chrysanthemum.

Wang Xiangjun frowned when he saw it.

"Chrysanthemum can also be added to soup? Lin, don't be too foolish."

Lin Ximeng took a steady step forward and bent her knees: "Shen Nong's Materia Medica says that chrysanthemum dominates the wind, and long-term use can benefit qi and blood, lighten the body, resist aging and prolong life."

"Medicine diet is like this. It must be elegant in color, fragrance and taste, but it must not lose its efficacy, and it must be the right medicine."

She looked at Wang Xiangjun with a look of "don't force me if you don't understand", and the other party was obviously humiliated.

He stared at her fiercely for a few times and cursed: "However, after reading a few more medical books and fooling around here, you are only worthy of doing this."

Lin Ximeng smiled lightly and didn't say much.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

The red jiao cleverly stepped forward to take the tray, presented it to the princess and knelt down in front of the princess.

"I also ask the princess and master to allow the servants to taste the food for you."

Ordinarily, there is no such thing as tasting food, and the tea and snacks in the main courtyard are strictly controlled by the staff, so there is no need to try them at all.

This is obviously to guard against Lin Ximeng.

Wang Xiangjun frowned: "Let's try, my princess wants to see how Lin Liangdi's craftsmanship is?"

"If it's not as good as the taste of the empress, this princess will not follow her."

Pour half a bowl out of each soup cup of red wild rice, drink it up in one gulp, and report to Wang Xiangjun after two quarters of an hour.

"No problem, princess and master can enjoy it to their heart's content"

Wang Xiangjun couldn't wait to drink a bowl of chrysanthemum mutton soup.

She is the legitimate daughter of the royal family. Since she was a child, she has been honored by gold and jade, and the stars hold the moon. She is no less expensive than a princess in food and clothing. She runs in the sky, walks on the ground, and swims in the water. She has eaten as long as she can name her name. She is a cook. I don't know how much I have used.

But this chrysanthemum soup still surprised her.

The warm clear soup slides down the throat and into the stomach, leaving the fragrance on the lips and teeth all the way, and the aftertaste is sweet.A chrysanthemum petal is left on the tip of the tongue, chewing carefully, as if you are in the autumn flowers.

It turns out that the broth and the fragrance of chrysanthemums are so wonderfully mixed together, fresh but not greasy, light but not too much.

"Good soup"

After trying the next few bowls, each one has its own merits.

If it should be thick, it should be light, if it should complement each other, it will complement each other, and if it should complement each other, it will complement each other.

Even though Wang Xiangjun doesn't know how to cook, he can taste the high quality of these soups.

Suddenly she felt a little regretful.

If the master is addicted, wouldn't it be even more difficult?
But the arrow is on the line, she has arranged everything, and she can only bite the bullet and follow the plan.

-

On the first day of serving the tonic soup, there is a small cup of beef short ribs stewed with mushrooms. The mushrooms are morels and porcini mushrooms, both of which are excellent tonics.

Wang Xiangjun sent it to the study in person.

Xie Chenyu was busy with Li Xuexiu's case, and it took two days to finish it.

He is a minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and his methods of knowing the law and breaking the law are top-notch. The other officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice used most of their power to entangle him for several months before he was found guilty of all the crimes.

According to the law, this kind of heinous corruption would be beheaded, but Xie Chenyu didn't want to take advantage of him.

Even if he didn't behead his head, the scorching snakes and insects in Lingnan would kill him like miasma, but it was sooner and later.

There is also the matter of the old Wu becoming the county king. He was promised that the day Li Xuexiu would step down would be the day he would be crowned the county king.

However, as a regent, he has no right to be crowned king of the county, so he has to go to the palace to find his father to stamp his seal.

I also thought that my father didn't know why, he didn't send any news back in the past few months, and even if he sent someone to look at it, he would be driven back.

He was inexplicably panicked.

At this time, Wang Xiangjun came over, smiling and holding the soup cup in his hand.

"Taste it, my lord. This is a tonic soup specially ordered by my concubine. One cup a day will nourish yin, tonify yang and nourish qi."

She put down the soup cup to clean up the table for Xie Chenyu, but Xie Chenyu grabbed her wrist.

"How many times has this king said that casual entry and exit are not allowed in the study room, did you fall on deaf ears?"

Wang Xiangjun was embarrassed.

"This... Husband and wife are one body, and the concubine is not an outsider. Why does the prince distrust me so much?"

"Rules are rules, how can you trust or distrust, if there is nothing wrong with the princess, please leave quickly"

Wang Xiangjun: "..."

The first day was not very pleasant.

Back in the main courtyard, she dropped two small teacups carved in blue and white as soon as she entered the door, angrily offending the two little maids.

Lin Ximeng, who was sorting out the ingredients in the kitchen, smiled and said nothing else when she heard the movement.

The next day is stewed snow clam with snow lotus lily, which can clear the heart, improve eyesight, soothe the liver and relieve qi.

Lin Ximeng specially presented two bowls and said with a smile.

"The autumn is dry, and the concubine made a special serving for two people. You and the prince each have a cup, which clears the heart and nourishes the lungs."

Wang Xiangjun didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy, because she didn't dare to go to the study.

To send Lin Ximeng away, she used a cup herself and ordered someone to send it to the study.

This time it was sent in, but Hongjiao told her before she had time to be happy.

"When Guard Lu saw that it was a servant girl, he immediately stopped him from entering. The servant girl said that this soup was made by Lin Liangdi herself, and it was specially used to nourish the prince's body. Guard Lu immediately went to report it."

Wang Xiangjun: "..."

Danko's painted nails scratched the silk handkerchief, and the teardrops in the corners of her eyes rolled one after another, and she finally held back them.

"I knew that everyone in this backyard deserves to be favored, but I am not a thing"

"The bunch of concubines are, and so is Lin Liangdi, everyone can enter the study, but I can't"

Hongjiao rolled her eyes and quickly persuaded: "The prince is also concerned about your reputation, you are the right concubine, and those are just playthings."

Wang Xiangjun wiped away his tears.

"Anyway, it's important. Wait a few days before you go to the warehouse..."

-

Lin Ximeng lived a leisurely life, reading books and cooking soup, looking up the history of the Dasheng Dynasty, looking up local chronicles to see how their Lin family made their fortune from their ancestral home.

In the name of buying girls, she secretly found a lot of matchmakers, and asked them if they had seen a boy surnamed Lin with a scar on his shoulder, or a girl surnamed Lin who was about thirteen to sixteen years old.

Most people don't know their age, so they just make a rough estimate. If the cousin really lives in a wealthy family, she will inevitably have to deal with her.
