Pluto's off-line concubine

531. Dim Sum, Manju's Pastime

Manzhu finally couldn't help laughing, "You ghosts and spirits! Okay, then I'll try them one by one. Let's start with...uh," Manzhu glanced at the 20 or two plates of dim sum on the long table , "Let's start with Chunxiang's on the far left."

"Hee hee, I'm the first one!" Chunxiang proudly showed off to the little palace maid standing by.

The little palace maid pouted and muttered, "What's the matter with the first one, the empress didn't say yours is the best."

"Mine must be the best! It must be the best!" Chunxiang said.

Manzhu came to Chunxiang and tapped Chunxiang on the head lightly. Chunxiang cried out in pain. Manzhu smiled and said, "You Chunxiang, even such a little girl is going to be bullied. Good! I'll taste you now." If the lotus cakes I made don’t taste good, I’ll punish you, and I’ll punish you to wash everyone’s faces for three days.”

Everyone laughed, and Chunxiang also blushed amidst the laughter, and bowed slightly, "Yes! Your Majesty."

Manzhu smiled and took a piece of lotus cake on the plate in front of her, put it on her lips and took a small bite, and slowly savored it. With just such a bite, Manzhu felt as if she was in a sea of ​​lotus flowers. Blossoming lotus flowers emerged from the mud, some were pure white, some were pink, and she seemed to be able to feel the breeze blowing, the beautiful figure of the lotus swaying with the wind...

Everyone quieted down, waiting nervously for the result. After Manzhu tasted this small sip, she only felt that her tongue was fragrant, and it was a faint fragrance of lotus. With her taste at this moment, I am afraid that she would not be able to taste other dim sum. It's their original taste, she now understands why they all want their dim sum to be the first to be tasted.Manzhu took another deep breath, and the lotus fragrance lingered in her heart. She admired sincerely, "The fragrance is lingering for miles, and the aftertaste is endless. Chunxiang, your lotus cake is very good."

Chunxiang was so happy that she almost jumped up, "Thank you, Ma'am."

In order to be fair and taste the deliciousness of the snacks later, Manzhu ordered someone to rinse her mouth with a glass of water, and after tasting it, each of the subsequent snacks gave Manzhu a different feeling, some refreshing Delicious, some are sweet and tender, some are oily but not greasy, some are tender and delicious... Manzhu is full of praise for these dim sums. After a lot of tangling, Manzhu finally chooses five out of them, and weighs them again. She rewarded the maids who made these five snacks, and she also gave certain rewards to those who were not selected, and for these dim sums, except for the few plates left behind by Manzhu, the rest were given to the people in the palace , everyone is happy.Before leaving, Manzhu made a special confession that everyone should keep it a secret, and that the fact that she wanted to learn how to make dim sum should not be passed on to Lord Nine. She wanted to give Shiyi a surprise.

Although Shiyi was very busy these days, he still came back to accompany Manzhu to have lunch. Shiyi keenly noticed that the atmosphere in Hanyan Hall was obviously different, and the whole hall became active and happy. Even the guards in the temple seemed to be smiling when they saluted him.Although he didn't understand what was going on, it wasn't a bad thing. At least, he felt that such an atmosphere was beneficial to Manzhu.After eating, Shiyi wanted to accompany Manzhu more and go out later, but Manzhu said that he was sleepy and let Shiyi go to work. Seeing that Manzhu had fallen asleep, Shiyi was reluctant, but he still left the palace He went, he hoped to finish the matter earlier, so that he could come back to accompany her earlier.As soon as Shi Yi left, Man Zhu hurriedly jumped off the bed, went to the kitchen, and started her "surprise" plan.

In the evening, Shiyi and the third prince, Shiying, were discussing matters in the study room, when they heard Mr. Wang coming to report that the concubine and concubine had arrived. When Shiyi heard that Manzhu had arrived, Shiyi got up and greeted him, while carefully helping Manzhu into the house , while saying, "Why are you here? Be careful."

Manzhu pretended to be calm, "I suddenly wanted to come and see you, oh, by the way, I followed Chunxiang and the others to make a few dishes of dim sum, you come and try."

Shiyi was surprised, "You did it?"

"Yeah!" Manzhu nodded heavily.

Shiyi's heart warmed, but he said in his mouth, "You are heavy now, how can you do this kind of thing, if you want to eat snacks in the future, just ask the servants to do it. Don't make me worry."

"How can I be so delicate! Don't worry, I'm very careful, I won't hurt myself and my children." After entering the house, Manzhu saw that the third prince was there, "Hey! Third brother, you are also here , that's really great, you come to me to have a taste, see if the dim sum I make is delicious?"

The third prince heard what they said outside. Although he felt sore in his heart, as long as Manzhu was happy, he didn't care what happened.At this moment, I was flattered to hear Man Zhu say that he should come to try it too. I didn't expect that he could also taste the dim sum made by her novice, which is really great.Just when he was thinking this way, he received Shiyi's murderous gaze, and suddenly his heart turned cold, and he said wisely, "Thank you, Ninth Brother and Sister, but there are still some things waiting for me to deal with, so I will leave first. As for Dim sum, so try again when you have a chance.”

Of course Manzhu didn't see Shiyi's overbearing, "Even if you are in a hurry, there is still time for this piece of dim sum. Come on, Chunxiang, quickly take out the dim sum and let the third brother pick a piece." Following behind Manzhu, carrying the food Chunxiang from the box quickly took out the snacks and put them on the desk.

The third prince didn't know whether he should taste it or not. If he tasted the dim sum made by Manzhu, the master would probably kill him, then cut him open and took out the dim sum he ate. .If he doesn't taste it, Man Zhu's side... and he himself is very much looking forward to eating the dim sum made by Man Zhu himself.

"Third brother, what kind of food do you like?" After setting the plate, Manzhu turned to ask the third prince.

The third prince was stunned, "This..." He shifted his gaze to Shiyi, although Shiyi had murderous intent in his eyes, but he didn't want Manzhu to see any clues, so he nodded slightly, which was considered to be his agreement.

"Shiyi, don't just stand around and pick a piece," Manzhu said.

The third prince and Shiyi stood in front of the desk, looking at the five different plates of dim sum in front of them, and reached out to grab the same piece almost at the same time. The third prince and Shiyi looked up at each other in a little surprise at the same time. Maybe at this moment, in their At the same time, there was a voice in my heart - why do we even pick the same piece of dessert.

In the end, it was the third prince who let go first and took another piece of the same plate. They carefully put the dim sum into their mouths, and after only one bite, the two looked at each other tacitly...
