Hidden golden branches

Chen Rong was not busy eating other dishes, but was admiring every move of his eldest brother and Ji Yuxian as they opened crabs.

Ji Yuxian's white fingers with distinct bones were seen, skillfully and methodically removing the crab legs first.

If Chen Rong were to dismantle the crab himself and not use eight pieces of crab, he would only eat the crab roe in the middle and the meat on the belly of the crab.

On the other hand, the eldest brother, although he is not skilled, can still do it in a decent way.

The key is to live a good-looking life and be happy with whatever you do.

After Ji Yuxian unpacked it, he gently pushed the plate in front of Chen Rong.

"Thank you, Brother Ji."

Chen Rong thanked him obediently, took the plain white warm wet brocade handkerchief from the black lacquer and gold tray in Cui Er's hand behind him and handed it to Ji Yuxian: "Brother Ji, take it to wipe your hands."

Although Ji Yuxian was very skilled in tearing apart crabs, his hands were not stained with much dirt.

However, crab has a fishy smell, and no matter how skilled you are, you will inevitably get the fishy smell on your hands.

Chen Rong then poured two spoonfuls of shredded ginger vinegar on the unwrapped crab meat, which made people's fingers lick.

But after I finished eating the crab, I ate the turtle stewed with pigeon eggs and the braised goose, and I suddenly felt that the food was tasteless.

Ji Yuxian picked up a piece of yam from the pot of stewed turtle and put it in her bowl: "It's good to eat this to nourish your stomach."

Chen Rong nodded quickly and obediently ate the piece of yam in small mouthfuls.

Now that it is late autumn, the last cake to be served is the osmanthus and water chestnut cake at that time, followed by sugar lotus root, white sugar pear cake, and jujube mud cake.

Chen Rong tasted a piece of each. Well, it was really good. As expected, it was made by the royal chefs in the palace. Their pastry making skills are among the best in the world.

When the moon reached its peak and fell on the ground like water, the simple banquet ended quickly.

Although the banquet was not as rich as the formal banquets in the palace, everyone was more comfortable and satisfied than at the banquet in the palace.

It's no wonder that the delicacies at the palace banquet were not as satisfactory as the ministers and family members still had to share their meals.

It took so long to carry everything from the imperial kitchen to the palace banquet, even if every dish was covered with a bowl lid, it was almost cold by the time it was served to the palace banquet.

If it's okay in spring and summer, if it's late autumn and winter, the pastries are okay, but the meat dishes and soups will be completely cold, especially the meat dishes. When they are cold, there will be a layer of floating oil on the bowl noodles, and the dishes will be exquisite and delicious. It can also make people lose their appetite just by looking at it.

After the banquet was over, Ji Yuxian asked Chen Rong in a low voice: "Can Rong Rong know how to ride a horse?"

"Eh?" Chen Rong was unprepared and replied vaguely: "I learned to ride a horse when I was a child, but I haven't ridden for several years. I don't know if I can ride now."

I remembered that when I learned to ride a horse before I was ten years old, I still clung to Sun Yi and forced him to teach her. I haven’t ridden a horse in five or six years. I really don’t know if I can still ride a horse.

"It's okay. I'll come over tomorrow and take you for a few rides to get used to it." Ji Yuxian curled up his lips and said.

Because we will be repairing tomorrow, the official hunting will not start until the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, Ji Yuxian asked this question.

If the little girl doesn't know how to ride a horse, it's better to teach her on a temporary basis than nothing.

"Okay." Chen Rong said happily that he could ride a horse tomorrow.

Even the ladies in the boudoir look forward to riding a horse and galloping in a galloping way. Don't let the taste be too pleasant. Chen Rong said goodbye to Ji Yuxian and returned to the tent. He was in a happy mood until he took a bath, changed clothes and lay down on the bed.

Thinking of Ji Yuxian, he always puts her first and will plan everything for her.

It's not like when I followed Sun Yi before, I always had a shy face and insisted on following him like a tail, regardless of the disgust on his face.

This does no harm without contrast.

At that time, I was blind and blind!

Chen Rong got up early the next morning, and the first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to tell Cuizhu to take her beautiful riding clothes and put them on.

Since Ji Yuxian was teaching her how to ride a horse today, she packed it up carefully and put on the riding outfit that the imperial concubine specially made for her by having the embroiderer from the palace's clothing bureau make it for her.

The fabric is made of tribute satin, which can only be produced five pieces a year. The lilac-colored acacia snow-glossy satin brocade skirt is sprinkled with gold and embroidered with gold. The skirt only reaches the knees, which is more suitable for riding. The waist is tied with a pink two-hand-wide girdle, with silk ribbons of the same color hanging down, and a pair of jasper ring skirts. The headdress is not complicated either, just a golden silk crown tied up her black hair, a crescent gold chain between her forehead, and a bright ruby ​​the size of a little finger hanging in the middle.

Wearing a pair of small deerskin boots inlaid with gems.

This set of riding clothes perfectly reveals Chen Jia's slender waist, and she is even more graceful and beautiful when walking.

Chen Rong walked out from behind the screen and called Ji Yuxian, who had been waiting outside all morning, his expression lit up and he was simply stunned.

He had always known that the little girl was beautiful, but he never imagined that she was wearing a riding costume. Instead, she looked even more charming and graceful, with a charming face. She was like a person made of jade, with a soul filled with water. The breeze was bright and the moon was bright, and the pearls and fairy dew could not be described. Its state.

"Rong Rong." Ji Yuxian shouted softly without hiding his love and appreciation for her.

On the other hand, Chen Rong said to Ji Yuxian calmly and generously: "Good morning, Brother Ji."

Chen Rong looked up and saw that he was also wearing a riding suit today, with crow green as the base and dark moon embroidery. He wore a dark green jade crown on his head and a lotus jade hairpin of the same color, which made his face look like a crown jade, making him look elegant and elegant. The morning sunshine lingered on him, like a woman's gentle eyes, and couldn't bear to leave. His movements were like light flowing in the deep dusk. He was wearing calf boots firmly and calmly when he landed. Chen Jia also had to admit that Ji Yuxian Really good-looking.

"Uh-huh," Yun Man coughed lightly: "Xiannephew, have you eaten your breakfast?"

After Ji Yuxian got up, he did a set of boxing, took a shower and changed clothes, then came to see Chen Jia, without even bothering to have breakfast.

Hearing this, he said honestly: "Aunt, my nephew hasn't eaten yet."

Fish and meat stuffed tofu, a plate of watery cucumbers, a plate of oily duck eggs, chicken and egg dumplings, jujube and yam cakes, and kidney bean rolls. Then each person has a bowl of fresh bamboo shoots, mutton wontons and thick millet porridge.

After breakfast, Ji Yuxian said to Yun: "Auntie, my nephew is taking Jiajia to go horse riding."

"Okay, come back early for lunch."

Now, as long as Ji Yuxian says she wants to take her daughter out, Yun will never say "no".

However, Chen Jia was still worried. Looking at her daughter's happy smile, she said in concern: "Rong'er, you must pay attention to safety and find a docile horse to ride on, did you know that?"

"I know, I know, mother, don't worry." Chen Rong was full of confidence, holding Yunshi's sleeves with her small hands and shaking them, and promised the worried Yunshi with her small mouth raised.

Ji Yuxian said warmly at the side: "Auntie, don't worry, I'm here." Then he bowed to Mrs. Yun and said, "My nephew, please leave first."

Chen Rong knew that Yun Man would agree, but if she didn't agree, it wouldn't matter. She had already changed her clothes, and she had to make her mother agree. She must be going to ride a horse.

.

Chen Rong: Ji Yuxian's kindness and concern for himself are unmatched by Sun Yi.

Xiao Zi: Sun Yi is already in the past, don’t stand for him again.
