The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 337

Not to mention how Nanny Dao relieved her master, but only said that in the palace, the entire front and rear halls have been filled with sweet fragrance these days.

Everyone in Dayuan knows that the queen likes to cook.

And ever since the queen entered the palace, I don't know when it started, whether it was the civil and military officials or the palace maids and eunuchs, they were all vaguely proud of eating the food cooked by the queen.

It’s okay for the elders and the important ministers that the emperor relies on. Because the emperor is diligent, he has to eat lunch in Yangxing Pavilion almost every day. .

Although the ingredients are not cherished much, the dishes are novel and delicious. There is always a bowl of fresh egg custard in front of the old officials, while the young officials always have meat dishes. It really warms the heart without waiting for the stomach. son.

Everyone has been taken care of by the empress, so when they go home, they will inevitably talk to their mothers or wives.

For women, there are no secrets that can be kept. Gradually, the news that the queen empress is good at cooking spreads.

But most officials do not have this opportunity to taste.Even if there are sacrifices in the palace, the big and small banquets during the New Year's Eve are still prepared in the imperial dining room. How could the queen empress personally hold a banquet for hundreds of people? Wouldn't she be exhausted.

However, there are exceptions.

That is, every new year's day, the empress would bring the maids and eunuchs to make some snacks for the occasion.

For example, white jade glutinous rice balls for the Shangyuan Festival, seven-color rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and rice cakes for the Lunar New Year.

Of course, there are very few officials who are lucky enough to receive these snacks as rewards, but there are at least 30 or [-] families.

Now, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was only a few days away, and it happened to be in time for the suicide incident, the empress even sent away the little prince and princesses.

Everyone thought that the empress would not be in the mood to bake mooncakes, but the palace was still filled with fragrance.

While this is surprising, one can't help but think deeply, the empress is so calm, is she sure that the emperor will protect her shortcomings to the end, or is she really framed and wronged?

But no matter what the reason is, I occasionally think about how many mooncakes will be rewarded this year in my free time, and it is also a good topic to pass the time after dinner.

Outside the small kitchen of Fengxiang Palace, just like the old Xiongling Lu family courtyard, an oven was built in the corner. Naturally, the craftsmanship of the internal supervisor is much better than that of Uncle Liu.The stove is exquisite and beautiful, and it is much easier to control the fire.

At this moment, Jixiang and Ruyi are busy in front of the stove, one is in charge of the fire, and the other is responsible for delivering the baked mooncakes and the mooncakes, without the help of any little maids and eunuchs.

After all, after rebelling against the little palace maid, tampering with dim sum, and almost harming the prince and princess, they no longer dare to trust anyone.

Whenever the master enters or handles food, they can't wait to take off their eyes and glue them directly to take care of them.

Fortunately, now the little prince and the princess have returned to Laoxiongling with the Duke. There are only the emperor and the master in the palace. It is a bit harder, but there is less food to prepare and it is easier to take care of it.

Xiaomi put the mooncake blank in his hand into the mold, pressed it lightly, and then buckled it out, and it was a red bean paste mooncake with the pattern of Chang'e flying to the moon.

She wiped her hands, then pulled off the veil to wipe off the sweat from her forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

In her previous life, she liked to get busy when she was bored.I haven't changed this problem in my whole life, as long as I get busy, it seems that all the boredom in my mind will be crowded and there is no place to exist.

Ruyi came in with a plate of mooncakes that were still steaming, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, today's mooncakes with fresh meat look more oily than those with the fillings a few days ago."

Xiaomi picked up the top piece, broke it open and took a bite, couldn't help but smile so much that his brows and eyes widened.

"The taste is really good. Originally I only wanted to make vegetarian fillings, but I was afraid that the meat fillings would taste weird and waste ingredients. But Gao Ren likes meat, and the emperor likes it too, so I gave it a try. I didn't expect it to be so unexpected. Good. Eh”

She handed the remaining half to Ruyi, "Try it too, and remember to make a list of rewards. This year, the changes may be bigger. The most important thing is to put the baked mooncakes away. It would be better if you wait for two days." Eat, don't let Gao Ren..."

In the middle of her speech, she suddenly remembered that Gao Ren had disappeared since the children left, so she couldn't help sighing.

This kid must have gone to fight with the Jianghu sect to find out the source of the poison, and he might kill another chicken and dog.

But she didn't intend to stop it either. These quacks are not good people who can develop such weird and vicious drugs. They should teach them a lesson once in a while.

What's more, she then asked the emperor to send a team of Xuan Ming's men to chase after Gao Ren, and she would definitely not let him suffer.

"Forget it, I keep a box for each mooncake. When Gao Ren comes back, if he finds out that he missed eating mooncakes, he might cause trouble."

Ruyi hurriedly laughed and said, "No, this servant must have a long memory this time. Last year, Mr. Gao opened a warehouse. The mooncakes that were originally intended to be rewarded lost half in one night."

Xiaomi also laughed, "He just likes to eat snacks and meat, but after so many years, he hasn't gained any meat or stature. What a waste of so many good things."

The master and servant laughed, which dispelled the boredom just now.

At this time, Linglong walked in from the outside.Ruyi hurriedly handed over half of the mooncake in her hand, "Sister Linglong, try this fresh meat mooncake, it's really delicious!"

Linglong waved her hands, her expression filled with joy, "Madam, Mrs. Tie has returned to Beijing and just entered the Hou's Mansion."

"Really? The godmother is back?"

Xiaomi laughed immediately in surprise, and finally asked, "Look at how the godmother is doing, who escorted her old man back?"

"Mrs. Tie looks strong. Madam Hou personally brought [-] bodyguards to escort the old lady back. But Madam Hou took [-] bodyguards and went northward within a quarter of an hour after entering the mansion. It's the convoy chasing the Duke."

What Xiaomi guessed was that Mrs. Tie and Lan Tianqin were worried that the children would follow Father Lu on the road and chase them to protect them, so they felt very warm and sighed silently.

"Get ready, I will tell the emperor tonight, I will go quietly to the Marquis's mansion tomorrow. The godmother just came back, so it's not good to invite her into the palace right away, I have to slowly relieve the fatigue accumulated on the road."

But Linglong said, "Niang Niang, Mrs. Tie obviously misses you too. Someone sent me a booklet just now, and she wants to come into the palace tomorrow."

"Ah, in such a hurry, I'm afraid the godmother may be thinking too much."

Xiaomi blamed himself even more, and hurriedly ordered, "Remember to prepare some fresh ingredients. When you get up tomorrow morning, stew the chicken soup first. When the godmother comes, I will give her old man a boost. In addition, take a piece of ginseng from the storeroom, and take a piece of bird's nest. Take half a catty and bring it back to her old man tomorrow."

"Yes, empress, don't think about it too much. Tomorrow when the old lady enters the palace, if you accompany me to talk more, she will naturally not worry about it."

Linglong had a sharp mouth, and Xiaomi, who had said a few words, also sighed.

"That's the only way. It's my fault. I haven't been filial to her old man, but I always let her worry about me."

The master and servant said a few words, and the sky darkened. Feng Ze came back from the Yangxing Pavilion, but he didn't hear the usual noise in Fengxiang Palace. Thinking of the children being sent away, he couldn't help but frowned. .

Xiaomi had already received the news that the little eunuch had sent him back, and was setting up dinner with his own hands.

Although they are the empresses of an empire, the couple's dinner table is never extravagant.It's just two bowls of beef noodles, meat and vegetables with four side dishes, so simple.

Seeing her husband's frowning, Xiaomi asked, "What's the matter, but something bad happened in the previous dynasty?"

Feng Ze never regarded Xiaomi as an ordinary woman, and it has become a habit to discuss with her about everything.

Hearing her question, he said, "It's not a side matter. Li Lin and Lu Qian suspected that Cai Jijiu did not commit suicide, but the assistants at Dali Temple couldn't find any injuries on Cai Jijiu. They can only confirm that he drank wine before he died. , but without any toxicity."

"There is no wound, how did you kill Master Cai and hang it on the beam?"

Xiaomi frowned when she heard that, even Linglong who was guarding the door blinked her eyes, extremely curious.

Feng Ze shook his head, "If you want to decide that Cai Jijiu will be killed, then the fact that he left a letter to frame you will be self-defeating."

Xiaomi shook his head, and tried to comfort him, "Forget about being busy during the day, and don't worry about it at night. Let's eat quickly."

The couple sat down, Xiaomi raised her hand and made a spicy rabbit's head for Feng Ze, maybe because of the hot and humid summer, Feng Ze is very fond of spicy food recently, she made this specially for tonight.

But looking at the rabbit head, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, and she exclaimed, "Oh, I remembered something."

"What's the matter?" Feng Zeyi hadn't picked up the noodles with his chopsticks, so he put them down again in fright.

Xiaomi rolled her eyes, "I forgot where I heard a story about a woman who was mistreated by her husband, so while her husband was drunk and sleepy, she drove a long iron nail into the top of his head. The husband died without a sound, and it was impossible for Wu Zuo to move his hair and examine every place carefully, so..."

Feng Ze's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he turned around and nodded to Linglong. Linglong quickly turned around and left, needless to say, to deliver a letter to Li Lin or Lu Qian.

Regardless of whether the story told by Xiaomi is true or not, if you have a clue, try it.

Xiaomi just had a flash of inspiration, and felt a little rash after speaking.

The husband and wife didn't mention it anymore, chatted some gossip, and ate slowly, but the bowl of spicy rabbit head, neither of them moved again...

After the dinner table was removed, within half an hour, Linglong rushed back. Seeing that the two masters were about to rest, she made a long story short, knelt down and said, "My servant sent a message to Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu went to Dali Temple in person. Sure enough, a four to five inch long iron nail protruded from the top of Cai Jijiu's head. The man was so amazed that he said he had never seen anything like this to put people to death."

After all, Xu Shi thought of the bloody and weirdness at that time, Linglong's face was very bad.
