The most cattle country medical concubine

Chapter 325
Concubine Zhuang replied with a smile: "Sister, I dare not compete with Concubine Rong and others. I heard that Concubine Chang spent a lot of money to find ingredients that are unique in the world, so I had no choice but to make a second choice and make a bowl of longevity noodles for the empress dowager." .”

"Longevity noodles are good." After hearing this, Mrs. Sun praised, "Longevity noodles are quite satisfactory, how well they are made, just the name, it is auspicious to hear, maybe you can't win the first place, but there is nothing wrong with it."

Concubine Zhuang chose to avoid disaster in a scuffle and to protect herself wisely.

Hearing that Concubine Zhuang made such a choice, the low-key Concubine Hua even chose to do nothing, and said back to the queen: "The concubine personally made some dumplings for the empress dowager. The empress dowager's birthday is approaching the end of the new year. On New Year's Eve, eating dumplings will warm your heart."

Mrs. Sun nodded after hearing what she said: "This idea is not bad."

It means that you can rest assured of the two of them. Although you can't help her queen take the lead, you won't sweep her queen's face either.

In the morning, the sun was shining brightly.The eunuchs who were ordered set off with the big pot prepared.Neatly, a row of cauldrons were placed in the courtyard of Fulu Palace.

It was prepared for the Empress Dowager. Of course, the competition will be held in the Empress Dowager's palace to show justice.

The concubines and concubines who participated in the battle, led their assistants, and brought their carefully selected ingredients, entered the competition venue one by one.

A total of 58 Liugong women participated in this longevity vegetable competition, which is of a grand scale.The dishes that concubines contribute to the queen mother can range from one dish to several dishes.But, in the end, only the best dish is picked.This dish will be named by Lord Wanli himself and promoted to the whole country as a dish for respecting the elderly.

It's exciting to think that maybe you can name it after yourself and live forever.

Roll up your sleeves and plan to fight hard, there are many people who are gearing up.This is what Wanli Lord likes to hear.

The Empress Dowager, however, was sitting in the hut for watching the battle indifferently, smelling the fragrance of tea, as if she had no taste at all.Speaking of which, such a suggestion was made by the queen, who said she nodded.However, Master Wanli's enthusiasm was completely beyond her expectations.In fact, the queen mother didn't seem to like people using her name to choose a noble concubine. Perhaps, the queen mother was never interested in food.

Speaking of which, the queen mother only eats fast.However, Master Wanli said that there is no limit to ingredients for this competition.Needless to say only vegetarian.The queen mother may not be happy about this.But what can be done?The emperor is happy.

"Queen Mother, I can smell the fragrance of the vegetables, what does the Queen Mother think?" Sitting opposite the Queen Mother, Master Wanli's smiling eyes sparkled with childlike excitement.

The queen mother said lightly: "The Ai family never knew that the emperor had such a strong interest in food?"

Master Wanli didn't seem to care about the empress dowager's cold face, he was stroking his beard, recalling some past events, telling how he ate all the way when he went to the south of the Yangtze River, enjoying various folk delicacies.

The queen mother lacked interest in listening.

The queen was silent by the side, just laughing with her.

They didn't sit next to any princes, but Zhu Zhun, the grandson of the emperor.Recently, the Empress Dowager liked Zhun'er very much and often asked Zhun'er to sit in Fulu Palace.

Master Wanli casually asked Zhu Zhun a few questions about reading.

Unexpectedly, the grandson of the emperor answered neatly word by word: "Grandpa Emperor Teng Wengong is the son of the world. He passed Chu to see Mencius in the Song Dynasty. Mencius is good in nature, and he must be called Yao and Shun. It is recorded in the sentences of Mencius Teng Wengong. .”

"Oh." Master Wanli asked with a hint of interest, "Do you know what it means?"

"The crown prince and Taifu told Sun Chen that as the son of a king, he must learn how to do good deeds. Kindness is the foundation of governing the country."

"Is goodness the foundation of governing a country?"

"Yes."

Master Wanli's eyeballs paused on Zhu Zhun's childish little face that answered yes.From Zhu Zhun's eyes, Master Wanli seemed to see something.The hand that was stroking the beard was quietly put down.

"Eunuch Zhang."

"The slave is here." Eunuch Zhang immediately stepped forward to answer.

"From now on, when I want to read poems and essays, I will set up a chair next to me and let the emperor's grandson accompany me to study. I think this child can recite books very easily. I didn't have his stubbornness when I was studying. My son. Very good, only by having the grandson of the emperor to accompany me to study can I rekindle my passion for reading." Lord Wanli's ambitious words made the empress dowager and empress look sideways at the same time.

The people in the room were a little dumbfounded.

This should be unexpected.

Master Wanli's burst of enthusiasm for his descendants seems to have lasted for a long time.After all, Lord Wanli has too many sons and daughters.There are so many that Master Wanli himself can't count them.On the contrary, in the grandson's generation, Master Wanli knew very little in the past.

The queen was naturally overjoyed when she heard this, but she suppressed her joy in the bottom of her heart.

There was a faint smile on the corner of the Queen Mother's mouth, no one could tell whether it was a smile or not.

Zhu Zhun got down from the chair very politely and kowtowed to Lord Wanli to thank him.

Master Wanli said repeatedly: "This child—" He greeted Zhu Zhun with his hands, and hugged his grandson with his arms.

Everyone outside saw this scene.

The princes actually came here early in the morning to watch the battle, but they were all arranged in the tables and chairs in the surrounding corridors.Everyone guessed that something must happen today, so they had to sit here.However, who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would be killed halfway.

Prince Zhu Ming didn't even think that his son could win the favor of Wanli Lord.After all, in the prince's heart, the second son born to the side concubine is more pleasing to him.Zhu Zhun was born to the princess, but he didn't like Zhu Ming very much.

Brother Twelve, when congratulating him, Zhu Ming smiled reluctantly, and replied: "I can only recite a few words, and I am still young."

"Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness is the best at reciting books since he was a child, so the emperor likes it very much." After hearing what the prince said, the old eleven became restless again, and blurted out a casual sentence to add to the prince's troubles.

Master Jiu pulled and Master Eleven failed to hold him back.

Zhu Ji grabbed a glass of sake with his fingers, occasionally glanced into the emperor's room, and could see Zhu Zhun's straight waist sitting beside the emperor.To be honest, what Eleven said was somewhat correct.Zhu Zhun looks like the prince when he was a child.When the prince was a child, Zhu Zhun was like that, he was not good at fighting, but endorsing books was the best.The corner of Zhu Ji's mouth lifted in a half-smile, and poured the wine into his mouth.

Unconvinced for the prince, Twelfth Master stared at Eleven and said, "What do you know?"

Speaking of which, most of the princes here are the same as Lord Wanli, and have almost no contact with Zhu Zhun.Not to mention them, like the prince, he spends little time with his own son in his own palace. He only knows that the eldest son is young and mature, not as innocent and romantic as the younger son, and can be a little bit childlike, making him laugh and make him like him.
