Schemes in Royal Palace

Yikun Palace

Xi Muyun gave the emperor a chopstick meat, added a bowl of soup and said, "Your Majesty, try this is the special multi roll meat of neighboring countries."

"More meat!" the emperor picked up the round meat, stared at the hedgehog like meat cut in the plate, and asked with interest, "it's quite interesting to serve this meat. I don't know what name it is!"

With a smile, Xi Muyun took a chopstick meat into the emperor's bowl and said, "multi rolling meat is made by taking sheep's skin and pig's skin, cutting flowers on the surface, marinating it with Linguo's special sauce for seven days and seven nights, frying it until golden and burning minced garlic. The most important thing is this shape. Your majesty looks at whether it is as round as a Hedgehog?"

"I'm curious. How does good meat make such a shape?" the emperor smiled and bit the meat. There was a smell of meat and garlic mixed with vinegar between his lips and teeth. It was so beautiful that this greasy skin could become so delicious on weekdays.

Xi Muyun wiped the oil on the corners of the emperor's mouth with a handkerchief and said slowly, "the beauty of this multi rolling meat is in the process of this bundle of meat. After the meat is pickled, it will be shredded with palm leaves, stacked and rolled into a circle, tied and hung on the beam for the night before it can be fried in the pot."

"It's delicious in the world. I remember the imperial concubine has a special preference for meat. I don't know if there is any surplus in the imperial concubine's kitchen." the emperor asked unintentionally.

The smile on Xi Muyun's face stagnated. She tried her best to please the emperor. She didn't think the emperor would ask so. He was gnashing his teeth in his heart, but he was not half unhappy on his face. He said, "there are few clubs left in the kitchen. I knew that the imperial concubine's sister liked the minister and concubine. I should have ordered people to do more."

"I'm just saying it casually. Look, your face is almost wrinkled. I don't know. I thought I asked too much!" the emperor said and looked at the plate of pink cakes.

"The color of this cake is very pleasing. I don't know what way there is in it?" the emperor looked up at Xi Muyun and asked.

Xi Muyun picked up the pink cake with chopsticks and put it in front of the emperor. The emperor looked down at the petite and lovely cake. The outer skin was pink and crystal clear. He pressed it with chopsticks and was very elastic. He took a bite. What was inside was white, sticky like glutinous rice, but not glutinous rice. It had a faint fragrance of hibiscus flowers. It was sweet but not greasy. It was delicious. He couldn't help biting two more before he put down his chopsticks.

"This pastry is my favorite food. The skin is made of jelly powder with the juice of hibiscus flowers, and the inside is steamed and mashed yam. In order to make the yam not stick, my concubine also added some chestnut powder, which your majesty still likes." Xi Muyun smiled and narrowed her eyes to explain the way inside.

The emperor's eyes brightened when he heard that there were hibiscus flowers in it. This hibiscus flower is Leng Qingyan's favorite flower. There must be such an ordinary craft. It's better to send some to Leng Qingyan! Thinking like this, he looked at Xi Muyun and asked, "I like this cake. I don't know if the imperial concubine is superfluous. I want to take it back and try it."

"Thanks to your Majesty's love, there are still some left in the pastry kitchen. Go and get some for your majesty to install." Xi Muyun was happy and hurriedly ordered Sang Ju.

After Sang Ju retired, the emperor tasted several dishes, praised them one after another, and then left Yikun palace with the cake.

"Niang Niang, why did you say you were going to take it away when your majesty didn't eat a few mouthfuls?" Sang Ju handed a cup of tea to Xi Muyun.

"Do you remember your majesty asked me for meat just now?" asked Xi Muyun instead of answering.

Sangju was surprised and opened her mouth. "Your Majesty is too eccentric! How can you please other women with your mother's things!"

"It was originally made for her. It's better for your majesty to send it than for this palace." Xi Muyun said indifferently.

"The imperial food, the imperial concubine and empress will certainly eat it. The empress is good! Ha ha!" Sang Ju took the cup used by Xi Muyun and put it aside.

At dusk, Yun pursed her lips but didn't smile. Just now the meat was just for your majesty to relax. This cake is the highlight. As long as Leng Qingyan ate this cake, ha ha!

Qingyan Palace

The emperor took the pink cake in his hand and sent it to Leng Qingyan's mouth and said, "concubine, I specially ordered the imperial kitchen to make it. You can taste it, but it's your appetite."

Lengqing Yan looked at the cake with her eyes down. The color was too conspicuous. When would the imperial kitchen make the total cake? There was a smell of hibiscus flowers at the tip of her nose. She opened her mouth and took a bite. The taste of the cake was very unique, sweet in acid, bitter in sweet, and very strange.

"Your Majesty loves my concubine so much that I don't know how to repay you." Leng Qingyan reluctantly took another bite and leaned against the emperor with a smile.

"If you really want to repay me, you might as well give me a prince!" the emperor threw the cake on one side of the table, tightened his arms, hugged Leng Qingyan for a few minutes, blew a breath close to her small and exquisite ears, and his deep eyes were dark and bottomless, and his eyes gradually caught a trace of affection.

"Your Majesty, you bully my concubine again!" Leng Qingyan said angrily, and her gorgeous face turned crimson in an instant.

"Concubine AI is so beautiful that I can't bear to bully her!" the emperor reached out his hand and intimately scraped her Qiong nose, with a smile in her eyebrows and eyes.

"Your Majesty..." Leng Qingyan's whole face was red, and he bowed his head in shame. Before he spoke, manager Li burst in.

"Your Majesty is not well..." before he finished, manager Li knelt on the ground and closed his mouth in fear.

"What's so panic?" the emperor raised his eyes and glanced at manager Li. Leng Qingyan jumped off the emperor's thigh and sat aside to force himself to be calm.

"The crown prince of Gusu and the prince of neighboring countries are fighting again outside Chengwu gate." manager Li lowered his head and whispered carefully.

"Presumptuous! What do they think of as my palace?" the emperor waved off the cup at hand, stood up angrily, and walked outside. As he walked, he asked manager Li why the two fought.

"The servant listened to the little eunuch because... Because..." manager Li walked beside the emperor and followed the emperor, frowning. He didn't know how to answer.

"It's because of the three princesses again!" the emperor glanced at the stammering manager Li and stepped up at his feet.

Xi Yuesheng is quite beautiful, but he is still far away from the country and the city. I don't know why Xi mufei and Gusu Duanyu are so persistent in Xi Yue.

Manager Li didn't speak and nodded, which was the default. The expression on the emperor's face was even more dignified. It was for Xiyue to fight again. I really don't know where Xiyue fascinated the two men. Alas!

"Where's the number one scholar in martial arts!" the emperor looked at manager Li and asked again.

The last time Xi mufei and Gusu Duanyu fought outside the Xiyue palace, Leng Renbo came forward to reconcile. The emperor thought of Leng Renbo at the first time, so he asked.

"Wu Zhuangyuan said that he couldn't come today when he had something at home." general manager Li said.

"Can't come! I don't think he wants to offend your highness! Hum! It's also a coward. I still want to use him."

"...." manager Li did not speak, but followed the emperor.
