Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 51 Mid-Autumn Banquet ([-])

Yuxiu Palace.

Yao Jinse didn't know what Yipin was doing when she went out, and she didn't care, because she knew that this matter must not be a good thing. In the original book, there is no part of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, because nothing happened in this part of the plot, about Nothing to write home about either.

But it is different now, she is living in a reality different from the written world, and she has to try a little bit for many things to do.

Among them is making moon cakes.

Naturally, the concubines in the harem don't need to make mooncakes for themselves, but everyone has to know how to make some and give them to the emperor to show their heart.

Yao Jinse doesn't know how to do it, so she is learning.

The original owner actually doesn't know how to make mooncakes. Mooncakes are a bit like snacks, and it's not that difficult to make, but it's not difficult.

At least for those who don't, it's not that difficult.

"Actually, why is my master so troublesome?"

Bai Tan was carrying something while making the stuffing, "It's okay if you don't do these things, Baitao and I can do this idea, so you don't need to bother so much."

The food is meant to be eaten by the emperor, but the emperor has to eat it. Bai Tan knows best what the favor of his little master is like. The emperor will eat the mooncakes sent by his palace for the sake of face?

You don't need to think about the answer.

The little master probably doesn't hold much weight in the emperor's heart—at least not as important as the princess. Everyone has noticed this since they were in the palace.

Fortunately, this matter is well known in my heart, if it is the young masters who hope that the emperor will change his mind every day, I am afraid that the life of these slaves will not be so easy.

"What you make is different from what I make."

Yao Jinse didn't say anything more, no matter how busy the Ministry of Affairs has been during the recent period, the things that should be done still haven't been left behind.

The moon cakes that should be distributed to the concubines have already been sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the moon cakes they sent are old-fashioned flipped moon cakes, which are a bit like pastries in shape.

This mooncake is not Yao Jinse's favorite, so she tried to make some by herself.
Alone as a stranger in a foreign land, she misses her relatives a lot during the festive season, and now she is in another world, even though she already knows that it is impossible to go back, she still can't suppress the little miss in her heart.

I can't go back, but it's not too much to do something to show my nostalgia, right?
Concubines have a tradition of making their own food, otherwise, there would be no small kitchens in the palace, and concubines like Yao Jinse have requirements, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will naturally send the ingredients.

There is nothing much left and right,
What Yao Jinse wanted was prepared dried nuts, walnuts, sesame, peanuts and melon seeds. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Imperial Dining Room needed to make a large number of mooncakes. Naturally, there were plenty of these fillings.

No matter how unfavorable Yao Jinse is, after all, she is under the imperial concubine's hands and has a daughter. Naturally, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dare not offend her. As soon as Yao Jinse said she wanted it, they immediately sent it over.

While doing something here, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and Xiao Tang's voice came from outside.

"My lord, Beauty Chen has arrived."

Chen Meiren?
Why is she here at this time?
It's unexpected, but after all they have friendship on weekdays, even if they can't be called the Jinlan sisters, in this harem, having someone who can talk is already a rare thing.

"Please come in quickly, don't let Chen Meiren sunbathe on such a hot day."

"The younger sister would be more respectful than obedient."

Before Xiao Tang could reply, Meiren Chen had already opened the door and walked in.

Meiren Chen was born in Yanzhao, Yanzhao is bitterly cold, so Meiren Chen is not afraid of the cold, but she is very afraid of the heat. This kind of weather, it is not common to come out.

"Why did you come out today? It's hot at this time, and I dare not go out."

Although the ice had been removed from the house, Yao Jinse still took an artificial fan and put it in the house. No matter how hot the weather is, if the windows are open and there is wind, it will naturally be cool and comfortable.

The coolness upon entering the room is indeed comforting.

Chen Meiren squinted her eyes, and first exchanged courteous salutes with Yao Jinse, and then said: "You stay leisurely in your own palace, but you don't know the excitement outside."

She has always been a spectator, otherwise she would not come out to talk to people in such hot weather.

Yao Jinse stayed in the house all day today making moon cakes, so naturally she didn't pay much attention to the news outside.

——Anyway, there are never any secrets in this palace. If it is a real excitement, you will know sooner or later, there is no need to rush for a moment.

Yao Jinse sat in front of the round table because she was making moon cakes. The table was full of fillings, molds and noodles. Naturally, she couldn’t sit here when Beauty Chen came. Sit down on the kang with Chen Meiren, and ask Bai Tan and the others to bring over the mooncakes just sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The little princess slept soundly and peacefully in the small bed inside the kang. Naturally, the affairs of the adults would not disturb the immature child for a moment. .

Chen Meiren has always been fond of children, so when she saw the cuteness of the little princess, she naturally took a second look.

"This child grows really fast. When I first entered the palace, the empress's eldest princess was born not long ago, but her stature swelled like a wind, and her clothes had to be remade in a month or two. "

Now the little princess is still young, but seeing Yao Jinse taking care of her so meticulously, it is conceivable that the child will grow up.

Turning her eyes away from the princess, Chen Meiren took a piece of mooncake from the dim sum plate. This crispy mooncake would lose crumbs when eaten. In order to make the nobles in the palace eat better, the mooncake was also made extremely small. It's not a problem to eat one at a time.

The mooncakes were all the same, and Meiren Chen also had them in her own palace, so she didn't eat too much, but she was a little tired from the journey, so she used these to cushion her stomach.

"It's you," Yao Jinse watched as Chen Meiren ate a piece of moon cake casually, a little envious, because sometimes she would swell and hurt, so she would occasionally feed the princess with milk like a nurse, for this Because of this, there are many dietary taboos. The moon cakes sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are extremely sweet. I don’t know how much sugar is put in them. Even if you dare to eat these things like this, I don’t even dare to think about how you eat them.”
