Shangshi female official

Chapter 178 Colorful Elements 2
"But they are strangers and are very wary."

"What if it wasn't given as a gift but picked up by themselves?"

"Then what if someone else picks it up..."

"Mo Xi...you think too much, if others pick it up, they pick it up, as long as it doesn't involve Shangshi Bureau."

Mo Xi sat with his back to her for a moment, then turned around and hesitated to speak. After much hesitation, he said, "...Okay. Chen Shang Shi Qiu Palace is imprisoning you. You can rest here for a few days."

"I am happy to be at ease."

Wang Yifu gave Mo Xi an idea and stayed in Gong Zhengsi's small room. Mo Xi left her some dietary notes. She flipped through them and saw the notes left by Yan's mother.

Next to this note, there is another person's note. In other places, this person also wrote more detailed notes on the method.

Wang Yifu blinked and thought of Shen Ci. She looked at the handwriting carefully. She was the one who taught Shen Ci his handwriting. The handwriting was much straighter than before, but similar to Shen Ci's handwriting.

She flipped through other books, each book had similar notes and annotations, and the supplementary method was consistent with Shen Ci's craftsmanship, so she was sure that it was Shen Ci.

I wonder when, where, and what Shen Ci was doing at this time?

She has read these books carefully. Shen Ci is not stingy with her own experience in cooking. conclusion.

Among them is a colorful vegetarian dish, which is a dish made of bell peppers, mushrooms, and celery cut into sections and stir-fried. The ingredients are simple, refreshing and not greasy. Wang Yifu thought that she could give Yousi Zhan a look and give it to Yousi. The meal provides some ideas for making vegetarian dishes.

A few days later, Gong Zhengsi's female historian came to inform her that Wang Yifu could leave and that her imprisonment was lifted. Mo Xi came specially to pick up Wang Yifu and told her the results of her idea.

"Your bad idea still has some effect."

"Has the Emperor stayed away from Concubine Li?"

Mo Xi shook his head and said no.

"What does that do?"

"You asked me to find the imperial doctor, use some aphrodisiac medicine to make sachets and throw them to the place where Li's concubines and maids passed by. They did pick them up and use them."

Wang Yifu smiled and said: "In a small country with few people, who can not be tempted by the exquisitely embroidered palace gadgets? Usually, the things used by other palace maids are better than theirs, and people can never stand comparisons."

"You thought that if she brought this thing and served the meal with Concubine Li, the eunuch who tested the poison would be rude in front of the Holy Emperor, right?"

"Although the eunuch has been castrated, he ate things like Qingyang porridge and was addicted to drugs. Although he won't go crazy, he will definitely behave rudely. Your Majesty has such a good face. No matter how embarrassing it is, he has to avoid it for a few days. right."

The two of them almost reached the door of Gong Zhengsi, and Mo Xi stopped walking: "You guessed it wrong on this point."

"what happened?"

Mo Xi whispered in her ear: "Because of the drug, the emperor's lust was aroused. At noon that day, the emperor actually asked Li's concubine to take a nap and drove Li's concubine back."

Wang Yifu was stunned and said: "During the day...doesn't that make the loss more and more false?" "The loss is a matter that the imperial doctor should take care of. Now that the palace maid has sealed the talent, Li's concubine is like eating a fly. It can only be swallowed in the stomach."

"What did Concubine De do?"

"The palace maid moved into Ciqing Palace, and Concubine De even rewarded her with some more things, which seemed to be an encouragement."

"The more you encourage me, the weaker your body becomes and the more you master your calculations."

"Concubine De said that the emperor has been caring about the young princes recently, and felt that she had neglected her duties and failed to do more for the emperor. She also asked the internal affairs supervisor to invite the officials' ladies of suitable age from the capital to come to the palace on August [-]th to enjoy the moon and flowers. , to cheer up the Emperor."

Wang Yifu smiled slightly and said, "Just right, then we have to prepare a crab feast."

Mo Xi understood it as soon as he heard it and said with a smile: "In autumn, crab fat must be made in more ways."

In the blink of an eye, it was August [-]th. Mo Xi and Grandma Chen had already asked Guanglu Temple to send crabs and made a batch of drunken crabs. On this day, they specially asked Guanglu Temple to send three times the amount of crabs in previous years, saying that they would give them to the emperor and concubines. We make a whole crab feast.

Early in the morning, many palace maids are arranged to remove crab meat and crab paste and boil it into crab powder. With the crab powder, you can make crab cakes with crab powder, crab powder fried rice, crab stuffed with orange and crab powder soup dumplings.

Mo Xi personally selected a large pile of compost and kept it for steaming for dinner. The rest was cut off, some were breaded in flour and fried, and fried with fried garlic and chili rice to make a crispy taste, and some were fried. Use chili tempeh to make it spicy, and some make seafood porridge.

The dinner crab banquet was held in Wuying Hall. Two masters of food, Wang Yifu and You Sishan, supervised the meal, and other female officials of food supervised the cooking in the imperial dining room.

The moon is very big today. The girls who entered the palace couldn't help but look back at the big and round moon. These official ladies were all dressed up and had lovers. They crossed their arms and covered their faces with fans. Whisper, giggle, very happy.

The daughters who entered the palace sat down, and the concubines entered the Wuying Palace. Strangely enough, the young concubines were all dressed in gorgeous clothes. Some of the colors seemed too frivolous to Wang Yifu. I wonder who gave them such courage. .

Finally, the empress and Concubine De entered together. Concubine De was wearing cyan clothes. The color was only slightly brighter, the blue was deep but not thick, and it did not steal the spotlight in the face of the empress's red color.

When entering the Wuying Hall, Concubine De deliberately stayed one step away from the emperor and empress, showing respect and humility.

Compared with the arrogant and domineering Empress Li, Concubine De is well-managed and low-key. Except for the concubine who followed the empress and bumped against the emperor that day, most of the other young concubines respect Concubine De. The contempt is written all over his face.

The emperor's hair on his temples has turned a lot whiter. Seeing such young women, he couldn't help but smile. However, the emperor is still the emperor after all. Apart from a slight smile, he didn't even have an extra look.

The Shangshi Bureau was waiting in the corner under the steps of the Empress' High Seat in Wuying Palace. Feng Xiaobao bent down to the Holy Emperor and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, the moon and stars are sparse today. Even the stars and the moon are cheering for the Emperor. The Shangshi Bureau has prepared a whole crab feast. I hope Your Majesty, please try it."

"Bring it out quickly and let the officials' daughters have a try."

Feng Xiaobao obeyed the order, then got up and shouted: "Chuan Shan."

The maids of the Shangyi Bureau brought the dishes, and everyone had prepared crab stuffed oranges, soup dumplings, crab powder crisps, steamed crabs and other dishes on everyone's table, as well as prepared sweet-scented osmanthus smoked mung bean noodles to clean hands.

The crabs were cold, so these officials' daughters also put lamb soup on the table to warm them up. Most of them were officials and nobles, and they were not gluttons when they went to the palace to admire the moon.

Wang Yifu secretly looked at the empress and concubine De. The emperor was indeed addicted to eating crabs. A female historian picked out the crab meat, and the emperor was very satisfied with the crab meat dipped in ginger vinegar.
