Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 160

Shu Ning sighed, even in later generations, some people would be affected by heavy snowfall, let alone ancient times.The ability of ancient houses to bear is not as good as that of later generations, and the roof will be crushed by snow and poop.

"Your Majesty, there is an Emperor!" Bai Momo supported Shu Ning, knowing that the Master was kind and worried about the people.

"Yes, there is the emperor!"

Shu Ning turned away from the window, and then some palace guards closed the window.

"Master, the red plums are blooming outside."

Hou Lin came in.

"The red plum blossoms, I'm going to write a post."

Shu Ning went to the study, and started to write with the post she had made.In her post, she also begged the emperor to draw a few branches of plum blossoms, and Shuning wrote two lines of poems.

"Send it to Qifeng Palace and Hanzhang Palace."

Shuning handed the post to Hou Lin, while she changed her clothes and went to Quanfu Palace to invite the Queen Mother.

Of course, the post still has to be included, after all, it's her first time hosting a banquet, so it should be more formal.

"Okay, Concubine Jia has a heart, but I won't participate in this banquet, you young people can play by yourself!"

The queen mother is also getting old, and she doesn't bother to move when winter comes.

"It's a pity that you can't let the Queen Mother see the beautiful red plums with your own eyes. But it doesn't matter, I will fold two branches and come here for the Queen Mother to appreciate."

Shu Ning had expected it a long time ago, seeing that the wiping forehead worn on the Empress Dowager's forehead was embroidered by herself, she left happily.

"Concubine Jia is still filial. She made a forehead wipe early and sent it to you, master. It will be useful now that it's snowing."

The old mother praised Concubine Jia a few words, and the queen mother narrowed her eyes and enjoyed it.Her old man likes filial juniors. Concubine Jia was afraid that she would have a headache in cold weather, so she made a pair of foreheads out of the softest white fox fur and sent them to her. They were also embroidered with green pine and cranes, which had a very good meaning.

When it came to the plum blossom feast, Shu Ning got up early to prepare.It happened that there was a pavilion next to the red plum trees, so Shuning asked people to surround the pavilion, using bamboo mats as curtains on the outside, and covering it with white gauze on the inside, and then lit a charcoal basin inside the pavilion. The fine silver frost charcoal warms the whole pavilion.

I also sent fresh venison for barbecue today.Shuning asked people to cut the venison into thin slices, marinated it and sent it to the pavilion.When the empress and imperial concubine De came with their two children, the preparations were already made, and the guests were just waiting for the guests to take their seats.

Considering that venison barbecue is something that gets angry, Shu Ning asked Mei Dong to make a few vegetarian dishes and send them over, coaxing the eldest prince and princess to use some, so that they can't eat too much venison later. Let more taste.

"It's well prepared!"

The Empress and Concubine De came together, Shu Ning rushed to greet them.

"Concubine Jia is free."

The queen supported Concubine Jia to prevent her from bowing down, and then dragged her to the table with Concubine De.

"Empress Jiafei, the emperor and I are here too, are you welcome?"

The eldest princess and the eldest prince looked up at Shuning.

"Of course, I like the eldest princess and the eldest prince the most."

Shuning personally arranged the two villains in their seats, and then came to greet the queen and concubine De.

"I don't let them serve the barbecue today, I do it myself."

Shu Ning made a demonstration, picked up a slice and baked it.

The venison was sliced ​​very thin, and it was cooked only once on the iron plate. The first piece of Shuning was given to the queen, the second piece was given to the concubine De, and the third piece was split in half. The eldest princess and The eldest prince has a small piece for each person.

In the end it was her turn, Shu Ning couldn't bear it long ago.The aroma of the barbecue was so strong that it almost made her saliva drool.

"Concubine Jia's craftsmanship is good."

The queen tasted a piece, and happily imitated Shuning's action and roasted the meat.

Even though Shu Ning was directing the first piece, it was still baked.Fortunately, the queen is also smart, and quickly grasped the essentials. The third piece of barbecue is ready to eat, and the taste is not bad.

Concubine De was a bit stupid, she had to bake five or six pieces before she could eat it.Fortunately, Shu Ning had someone prepare a lot of venison, otherwise it would not be able to withstand the waste of Concubine De!

Although the taste of baking by yourself is a bit worse, the fun has increased.

"The two empresses eat first, and the concubine folded two plum blossoms and went to Quanfu Palace. Please also admire the red plum blossoms in the palace. These are the first plum blossoms in the palace."

Shuning stood up and blessed the two of them.

"Go ahead, ask the Queen Mother to look at the red plums of our Concubine Jia, isn't it more beautiful than Concubine Jia?"

The queen made fun of Shuning, and got a big roll of her eyes, which made her overjoyed.

"Look at what your mother said, how can a concubine compare to flowers."

Shu Ning patted the heads of the First Prince and the First Princess, stood up and put on a cloak, and asked someone to hold a pair of plum vases and walk towards the plum blossom trees.

I chose two half-bloomed plum blossoms, cut them off, and put them in a plum vase.

"Hold it."

Shuning sat in the soft sedan chair, and then headed all the way to Quanfu Palace.

As soon as she left, the empress and concubine De's barbecue also slowed down. Anyway, for a whole day, take your time and don't rush to eat.

Drinking the fresh pomegranate juice prepared by Concubine Jia, the pomegranate was brought in by Concubine Jia's family.In the harem, apart from the emperor and empress dowager, only the empress, concubine De and Qin Shunyi got some, and the others were not even eligible to see it.Concubine Jia is not the kind of person who uses her own things to raise white-eyed wolves. Anyway, she also said that if she gave them to them, wouldn't she hate herself?
Since those who should hate will continue, why give them something?She is not being taken advantage of.
