Qing Dynasty: Pampering The Queen

   Chapter 1692 Dragon Boat Festival Banquet

   Entering May, the weather is getting hotter day by day, and fruits such as cherries, loquats, plums, and strawberries are ripening one after another.

   In particular, strawberries have gradually become popular since they were introduced by Mujin more than two years ago and began to expand their planting scale. They have become a popular fruit for wealthy and well-off families in Beijing.

   Medium size, bright red color, sweet and sour taste, no one likes it.

   Especially the strawberry cake made by Jinxin Pastry Shop is very popular.

Strawberry Manor has bought a lot of land and expanded the planting scale. During the large-scale listing season, vendors who have received pre-sale brands queue up to buy and deliver baskets of the freshest strawberries to all parts of the capital. .

  Some were even sold to big families around the capital. The whole capital seemed to have a faint sweet strawberry smell.

  In Huangzhuang, strawberries were also introduced this year, and each empress in the palace also distributed them according to the day.

   Except for Lord Kangxi, it was naturally the four concubines who got the most and the best.

  Xiang is always in this position, ordinarily, this kind of fresh and rare fruit could not be assigned to her.

  But although the emperor no longer promoted her, there were always a few days every month to sit with her, or stay for a night or two. Everyone in the harem felt that she had the potential to continue to climb.

   Therefore, for such a rare and expensive fruit, I also gave her a small plate, about twelve or three.

Although there were only 12 or 13, the things that the palace gave to the masters were carefully selected. They were large, red and bright, ruby-like lustrous, and exuded a faint sweet fragrance. It's very attractive.

  Xiang often wanted to laugh. In his previous life, he wanted to eat as many strawberries as he wanted. Once upon a time, he was reduced to this point.

  I heard that this strawberry was made by Mu Fangfujin? Ah!

  Xiang often screams suffocation there. It is also a time-travel. Why is there such a big difference?

   No, she also has to think about it, and come up with two new things.

   On the Dragon Boat Festival, a banquet was held in the palace, which was quite lively.

  In the morning, Mu Jin brought his two children, along with Fujin, Li Fangfujin, Song Gege, as well as the three elder brothers and Da Gege, and went to the palace to invite Ann to the banquet.

   The concubine De was overjoyed when she saw the child.

   Brother Nian and Sisi have been able to walk by themselves, speak several words in one breath, and their thinking is much clearer than before. It is the most annoying and likable age.

   For the Empress Dowager, who has only seen them once for a long time, it is only natural that she likes them and has no worries.

  The two children let Mu Jin and the fourth master teach them very well. They usually play and play, but when they come to the elders, they are well-behaved.

   Concubine De was so happy that she was so soft-hearted that she had already stepped forward with a smile, hugging her from left to right and sitting beside her.

   Concubine De asked them with a smile, and the two children's answers were ironic, childish and cute, making Empress De Concubine laugh from time to time.

   also deliberately mentioned the goose raised in the house and showed it off to the imperial grandmother, which made the concubine De concubine ask questions, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

   It’s just that the child can’t sit still very well, and after a while, he starts to move around and is not very calm, and his eyes are looking all over the place.

   Concubine De saw that it was funny and said, "Brother Nian and Sisi want to go out to play?"
