Genius little drug concubine

Chapter 697 Must Be Friends
Although she said that after clearing the lungs and nourishing the yin, it is to nourish the yang and nourish the kidneys, but after giving Jun Jiuchen a meal at noon, Gu Feiyan arranged a relatively light dinner. After the meal, she specially prepared a small snack Pear soup, clears the heart and moistens the throat.

Jun Jiuchen's appetite can be said to be suffocated, and he really can't figure out what the medicinal recipe Gu Feiyan gave Han Yuer.Of course, in order to avoid being misunderstood by Gu Feiyan or himself, he wondered in his heart and didn't dare to ask further questions.

The two had a simple dinner, and after the meal, they set up the chessboard and played chess while waiting for news.The courtyard they live in is not far from the Baichu Palace, and whenever there is news in the palace, Aunt Hua immediately sends someone to report it.

At this time, the medicinal feast in Baichu Palace had officially started.

This medicated food banquet is a family banquet, and the banquet is held in the Yangxin Pavilion, which occupies a huge area in the imperial garden.The old emperor was in a very good mood, with a smile on his face, as if he had become younger several times.Sitting next to the old emperor was Empress Liu of Baichu, the biological mother of the crown prince and Ye Shisan.She was five or six years younger than the old emperor, with plain clothes and a peaceful expression.When people who don't know the truth see her, most of them will believe that she is as magnanimous and accommodating as the legend says, that she is indifferent and cares about the overall situation.

There are two rows of seats on the left and right sides of the old emperor and the empress. The harem concubines and relatives of the emperor sit in order according to their status.Han Yu'er was a foreigner, so she was a special existence. She sat in the second row next to the queen with the princesses.She intentionally avoids Shui Ji, so she keeps a low profile in the palace.Coupled with the queen's cover, even fewer people knew about her entry into the palace.And at this royal family banquet with no outsiders, even though she was sitting in the second row, she still quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, although everyone has noticed Han Yuer, they will not easily explore it.After all, tonight's medicated food banquet looks like a venue for the imperial chef, but it is actually a battlefield for concubines. Any word can trigger a "battle"!
Amidst the melodious sound of the zither, a dance ended slowly.The young and beautiful dancers waved their cloud sleeves and walked away.Immediately afterwards, a group of maids came in from outside the pavilion, and each of them held exquisite food dishes in their hands, holding delicacies of all colors and flavors.

Although this feast is called a medicated meal feast, not every dish is a medicated meal.Instead, at the banquet, the old emperor would pick out one of several medicinal meals and give it to everyone as a tonic for the beginning of autumn. This medicinal meal was naturally the most satisfying dish for the old emperor.

After all the food and wine were served, the old emperor moved his chopsticks, followed by Empress Liu, and everyone dared to move their chopsticks.The old emperor cared about the elders in the clan, asked about the current situation of several princes, and asked about the homework of the little prince, but did not talk about state affairs.During this period, some flattered, some acted according to the wind, some took the opportunity to sue, and some prudently defended themselves.

Normally, the empress would have said a few words, but this time she was very silent.Her eyes drifted to Han Yu'er again and again, full of anticipation.The corners of Han Yu'er's mouth were always slightly curled up. She was in such a good mood that she couldn't hide it, so she wished she could stand up and show herself right away.

She claims to be a pharmacy genius, and this time she also prepared an original secret recipe.However, when she saw the prescription given to her by Aunt Hua, she completely abandoned her secret recipe.Her prescription for autumn supplements was amazing.She was really curious about what kind of genius it was to be able to write such a prescription. The most important thing was that this prescription could not be more suitable for the old emperor of Baichu Kingdom.With this recipe, she can not only win against the imperial chef, but also compete with Shui Ji.

It's a pity that Aunt Hua doesn't know who wrote this prescription, so she hopes that after completing the task, she will be introduced by her adoptive mother.She must make friends with such a brilliant pharmacist.

After a few rounds of drinking, a song and dance ended, and finally it was time for the herbal meal.

Everyone fell silent, Empress Liu took a look at Han Yuer, and her eyes quickly went out of the pavilion.As soon as Empress Liu looked away, Han Yuer took a deep breath.She was not nervous, but wanted to suppress her excitement.After all, Empress Liu wanted to avoid suspicion, so she couldn't be very active in this scene.

Several imperial chefs have already lined up outside the pavilion, and there are servants beside each of them, carrying their carefully prepared medicinal meals.In the hall, all the dishes on the table were removed and replaced with new tablecloths, and the audience fell silent.

After the old emperor rinsed his mouth, he glanced at the confidant eunuch beside him.The confidant eunuch understood, and immediately shouted: "Serve the medicated diet!"

The imperial chef who was in the first place quickly brought the medicinal meal from the servant.He put the medicinal food on top, lowered his head, walked in quickly, and stopped in front of the old emperor.

Although the medicated diet has gone through three rounds of poison testing, it still needs to be tested once before entering the mouth of the old emperor.After the old emperor's confidant eunuch tasted it in public and confirmed that it was not poisonous, the medicinal food was sent to the old emperor.

This is a porridge of Ophiopogon japonicus, which can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, clear the heart and relieve troubles, benefit the stomach and promote body fluid.It seems simple, but Yu Chu's introduction makes it unbelievable for laymen.This porridge not only requires medicine, but also rice, water, and even the salt used.

Han Yu'er rested her chin on one hand, with a relaxed expression on her face.Although she was surprised by the particularity of using salt, she felt no pressure.

The old emperor ate two mouthfuls and didn't comment on it, so he let him go to the second course.The imperial chef clearly knew what it meant, and retreated in frustration.Next, the old emperor tried several herbal diets such as yam and sesame paste, glutinous rice and lotus seed porridge, Chuanbei honey jujube pork rib soup, yam and lily rabbit meat soup.

This year, as if the imperial physicians had made an agreement, they did not use expensive medicinal materials and ingredients, but made a fuss about simple and common medicinal diets.It's a pity that the old emperor doesn't seem to like this.He did not comment on any of the medicated diets, nor did he show any obvious preference for any medicated diet.

When the last medicated meal was removed, the audience became more and more quiet.It's not just the royal chefs who are nervous, but also the masters behind the royal chefs, the concubines of the palaces.

The old emperor knocked on the table thoughtfully, but did not express his opinion for a long time.Everyone waited quietly. After a while, seeing that the old emperor still did not make a statement, Empress Liu spoke.

"Your majesty, I need my concubine to share your worries."

Her eyebrows were drooping, her tone was cautious, and her attitude was humble.She has always been like this, even if she is a queen, she often speaks worse than a concubine with a temper.It was precisely so, she was not favored by the old emperor, but she was never disgusted, and all the ministers in the court respected her.

The old emperor was hesitating when a Concubine Yu not far away said, "Why are these cooks so shabby this year? It doesn't make any sense at all. Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the Empress had invited a distinguished guest, so she asked me She is the favorite student of the headmaster of the Shennong Valley Pharmacy School. Her medicinal skills are exquisite, and she is a leader among the younger generation of pharmacists. Why don't you let this girl show her skills!"

Han Yuer was overjoyed, but she didn't get up immediately, but pretended to be panicked, and looked towards Empress Liu...
