old queen

Chapter 15

"Just do that! There are many ways to fill your stomach, and you don't necessarily have to eat." Mu Mingchun said indifferently, grabbed a big pear from the fruit plate at hand, wiped it, and put it to his mouth Kachakacha bites crisply.

Good job, it's this time, she is still like a normal person, she can still eat! "Your Majesty, do you plan to eat fruit like this for the next three days?" Feng'er asked.

Is there anything wrong?Mu Mingchun blinked and looked at her puzzled.Back then, when she was a model, in order to keep in shape, she had to eat only one apple a day.

Of course not!And the problem is big! "Your Majesty, you can eat fruit to satisfy your hunger. One meal or two is fine, but now it's three days! If you eat fruit every day for three days, your legs will tremble and your eyes will glow green!" Yun'er also stood up and bowed. shouted.

It seems to be too.She also made a plan to run and exercise every morning!In this way, the energy intake from eating fruit is definitely not enough for her strenuous exercise. "Then what should we do?" Mu Mingchun's head started to get dizzy.

"What can we do? At worst, the servants will try to steal some pastries from the imperial dining room for you every meal!" Xi'er said, sighing helplessly.

"No!" As soon as this proposal was put forward, it was immediately and decisively rejected by Mu Mingchun.

no? "Why?" Several court ladies asked in unison.

"Need to say? Since that guy said that I'm not allowed to eat food from the Imperial Dining Room, I also got into a fight with him. In the next three days, I will definitely keep my word and will not touch the food in the Imperial Dining Room." One bite!" Mu Mingchun said loudly, with a very backbone posture.

Several people couldn't help but sigh. "Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry. Filling your stomach is the most important thing! Besides, there are only a few of us in the cold palace, and the slaves go to the imperial dining room to get food. As long as your actions are concealed, don't let the emperor find out. I expected that those people in the imperial dining room would not dare to go out and talk too much, everyone turned a blind eye, and three days passed." Qian'er said helplessly.

"But I just got angry with him!" Mu Mingchun sneered, insisting on his own thoughts, "If I say I won't eat it, I won't eat it! He just added that sentence at the end because he wanted me to beg for mercy from him Is it? I don’t! I just want to show him that without the imperial dining room, I can still live a good life! Three days later, I will definitely show him a lively Mu Mingchun! Even more energetic than now! "

"Niang Niang..." The black lines on the heads of the five people fell down rustlingly.This is easy to say, but can you do it?You know, not everyone can do what you say, especially now that you are just a queen who has been thrown into limbo.

When the hearts of several people were active, Mu Mingchun's mind also turned a few times quickly.Then, with a slap of her palms, she suddenly jumped up from the chair and shouted excitedly, "Yes!"

have?The five of them looked at each other, feeling a little trembling in their hearts.I don't know what trick the empress came up with to make people die?
After a few steps, Mu Mingchun ran up to these people. With a smile all over his face, he said excitedly: "I think this is good. Xi'er, go and ask someone to go to the imperial garden and ask some people to repair the pavilions there." The workers from the pavilion come and ask them to build a kitchen for me in the open space in the cold palace, the sooner the better! I will pay them for their hard work!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to cook by yourself?" Xi'er asked in disbelief with her eyes widened.

"Yes!" Mu Mingchun said, "As long as there is a kitchen, firewood and ingredients are naturally not a problem. I trust you."

"This is really not a problem. The servants also learned how to feed before they entered the palace. They haven't used a spatula in these years. Although their skills are a little rusty, they must be edible." Xi'er nodded and murmured Said, "It's just..." The conversation changed, and a faint worry climbed up a pretty face, "If the emperor knows..."

"He told the imperial dining room not to give me food, and he didn't say that I can't cook by myself." Mu Mingchun said coldly, curling her lips.

You are sophistry!Xi'er screamed in her heart, but she didn't cry out.However, after thinking about it, it seems that there is no other way.Moreover, doing this as a queen, even if the emperor knows about it, Gu Nian will not have too bad consequences on the face of Grand Master Mu. "Okay, servant girl, go now and try your best."

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news!" Mu Mingchun said excitedly, not knowing whether he was excited about the fact that there would be a private kitchen in the place where he lived, or because he would definitely be able to fight against Leicheng to the end.However, these are not within the scope of her consideration now.Because when she thought of building a kitchen, which was not a small project, she immediately thought of a very important thing-"Even if you can find enough craftsmen and materials, you can build the kitchen today, but the newly built house is still very important." It won't work. So, for today's dinner, we still have to find another way."

Use your brain, think about it, and you have it! "Girls, why don't we hold a barbecue party tonight!" Winking at them, she enthusiastically made another suggestion.

"Barbecue pie... right?" Several people stared wide-eyed, not knowing why.

"That's right!" Mu Mingchun laughed, already drawing a blueprint for the evening's affairs in his heart.

Before the sun went down, after Mu Mingchun drew pictures and gave oral explanations for a long time, Feng Er and others ran out to find someone to order. During the process, the iron frame was modified three or four times and was finally successfully completed and moved into the cold palace.

Under Mu Mingchun's careful planning, a basket of charcoal, a pot of oil, a pot of salt, several baskets of fresh vegetables of various colors, several live fish, several large pieces of beef and mutton, and several plucked dogs were stolen from the imperial dining room. The cleaned chickens arrive one after another. (The head of the imperial dining room hid in the corner and wanted to cry: Are you still letting people live? He came to burn down one of his houses in the morning, and he still hasn’t lost money. He has taken so many things by force! He can only lead his subordinates to hide behind the door and watch helplessly, not daring to say anything more. If the amount of silver allocated by the Empress next month is not enough, how will he make up for the shortfall! )

There is no special sauce for barbecue here, so Mu Mingchun asked someone to bring a small jar of sweet sauce and a small jar of salty sauce from the imperial dining room (the head of the imperial dining room is numb, and her heart is dead, let her go), try I mixed the sweet sauce and salty sauce, adjusted the ratio constantly, and added some scallions and sesame seeds to it. I experimented all afternoon, and finally got a satisfactory result.

When the sun went down, all the tools were ready, and a group of people were too tired, their legs were weak from hunger, and their stomachs were protesting loudly.

OK!Ready!
The sleeves were rolled up, the long skirt was also rolled up, and a knot was tied on the side of the thigh. Mu Mingchun ordered Qian'er and others to put the charcoal into the iron frame, spread it out, light it, and then told them to hold their little charcoal. The round fan gently fanned it.When the fire was about the same, she stepped forward to demonstrate in person, placing the vegetables that had been skewered on the wire one by one, evenly spaced.Turn it now and then to coat the surface of the food with the sauce when it's medium-to-medium-done, then keep turning.

Not long after, the alluring fragrance gradually spread to the surroundings, drifting farther and farther, gathering and thickening, making people's saliva flow down uncontrollably.Soon, the first batch of golden and yellow barbecue came out.

Gudong!

There was a loud noise, the sound of swallowing saliva.

The few court ladies who were watching the barbecue in front of the grill looked at each other in blank dismay, and found that none of them were capable of making such a loud noise.So, they turned their heads together, followed the prestige, and found a person squatting five steps away from them.This man has a gentle and handsome face, and he is dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, which makes him extraordinarily elegant and personable.At first glance, others would think he is a gentle scholar.It's just that those deep and devilish black eyes betrayed his true character.And this virtue of squatting and staring at the food in other people's hands is really... very indecent.

"I've met the Sixth Prince!" When they found out that this person was Long Yu, the panic-stricken hearts of several people calmed down and saluted one after another.

Mu Mingchun also casually pulled a few wires from the grill, walked over, and asked, "When did you come?"

"Chendi has nothing to do today, so I wandered around the palace for a while, and happened to meet these maids carrying all kinds of raw vegetables inside. Out of curiosity, I came over to have a look." Long Yu smiled and said calmly.

It is indeed free enough.Moreover, she discovered that this guy seems to have a lot more free time recently than before.The corner of his mouth twitched, and he smiled perfunctorily: "So, have you seen enough now?"

"Not enough." Long Yu shook his head, finally stood up willingly, looked at Mu Mingchun's face, and said with a faint smile, "Not only is it not enough, but my younger brother is even more curious. Sister-in-law, you have spent so much time, how can you sell it in the gourd?" What kind of medicine is it? After watching it for a long time, I seem to vaguely understand something, but I don’t really understand it.”

"So, you want to understand?" Mu Mingchun asked.

Long Yu nodded. "Yes, the feeling of not being up or down is uncomfortable now."

"Since you want to understand, then you can join us!" Mu Mingchun said, generously extending the invitation.

Long Yu raised his eyebrows. "What's the benefit of joining?"

"Join, and you will know what medicine is sold in my gourd."

"If you have been watching from the sidelines, the younger brother will know."

Mu Mingchun nodded. "It makes sense." However, it's strange that she would let him go so easily, the male laborer who came to the door automatically!As soon as he raised his hand, he stuffed the skewer that he had just taken off the grill into his hand, "Here, this is for you."

Long Yu took it passively, turned it over and over to look at it several times, smelled the fragrance, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, but he didn't dare to move casually, so he asked puzzledly: "What is this?"
