In the 34th year of Kangxi's Mid-Autumn Festival, Kangxi had no intention of making a big event. He wanted to invite his children and grandchildren to hold a royal family banquet at the Tai Chi Hall, so as to coax the old lady of the Queen Mother to be happy.The empress dowager is not the old empress dowager, she is scheming, and Kangxi has to be on guard. This old lady is much less careful, and she is too lazy to stretch her hands. At most, she is just protecting a concubine Xuan. Kangxi is naturally happy to win a filial beauty name.

The Taiji Palace was originally very spacious, but now it is full of concubines, all the princes inside and outside the palace and their wives, concubines and children, the fifth princess Qi Buchen, the sixth princess Yuludai, and the seventh princess Jilan (Ciai) in the palace. There are six princesses in total, including the eighth princess Shulu, the ninth princess Songgeli (meaning elegant, born by Yuan Guiren), and the tenth princess Shuyierha.The princes, including the youngest seventeenth elder brother, were all present, but they hadn't arrived yet. Compared with the queen mother, it was considered a full house of children and grandchildren.

The eldest elder brother only brought his son Fujin and his son Hong Yu, while the crown prince brought his concubine Guerjia, side Fujin Li Jia, and Hongxi. The Fujin Tatara family and the Shufu Jin Baijia family, the seventh elder brother did not have a direct Fujin, so he only brought the Shufu Jin Barda family, and the eighth elder brother came here alone.

This is the first time for Wen Xi to see Seventh Elder Brother's concubine Fujin. Barda's appearance is not considered beautiful, just a little bit good-looking, with pleasing eyebrows, rather attractive appearance, gentle and decent demeanor, indeed It is very comfortable to look at.

Xiao Mitao is still young, so she sits with Wen Xi, in the first position under the empress dowager's right hand.Little Pomegranate has already enrolled.They have their own seats according to the order of the elder brothers. Under the fifteenth elder brothers, they are a bit remote, but they look quite dignified. They are actually toasting the fifteenth and fourteenth elder brothers. Wen Xi hurriedly turned The face ordered: "Zhu'er, go and watch Brother Sixteen and don't allow him to drink." ——Little boy, what wine do you want to drink? !

Then came the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother.It's not too late, the Queen Mother and Kangxi haven't arrived yet, so it's not too late.Both of them brought two wives and concubines, except for their respective concubines, the third elder brother brought a very charming concubine, and the fourth elder brother actually brought Ruyan!Wen Xi was immediately displeased.Don't the fourth princes hate Ruyan very much?How did you bring it in?And also asked Ruyan to hug Li Shisheng's little Gege? !

When the two of them came in, they had to greet Wen Xi first, and then greet the fourth concubine.

Wen Xi glanced at the concubines of the two, and said: "Although today's family banquet said that we will bring wives and concubines, we must bring decent concubines!" Wen Xi didn't want to embarrass him, so she said to Yinzhen, "Ms. Li in Si Age's mansion has given birth. Why didn't you bring her here?"

Ulanala replied with a smile: "Unfortunately, Sister Li suddenly felt unwell this morning. So I had to ask Sister Niu Hulu to bring Xiao Gege into the palace."

The corner of Wen Xi's mouth raised, and said: "That's really unfortunate!" With a certain doubt in her tone, she glanced at Ruyan.Then he remembered the memorial that he saw in Qianqing Palace that day. Although it was written by the prince, it was written by the fourth elder brother.The fourth elder brother valued interests, so he released Ruyan who was in the confinement? And asked her to accompany her to the palace for the banquet?

Today Ruyan is extraordinarily peaceful.Following behind Si Age and Si Fujin, he didn't say a word.It seems to be a concubine with a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye.It's just that concubines are not eligible to take a seat, so they can only follow behind Fujin, pouring wine and tea.

The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother went to say hello to the prince again, and greeted the brothers before taking their seats.

I only heard the sharp voice of the eunuch outside, shouting: "The emperor is here, the queen mother is here!"

Wen Xi hurriedly led the concubines, prince, Fujin, and princess to greet her. The Empress Dowager was in a good mood today, and Kangxi personally supported the seat.The Empress Dowager raised her hand with a benevolent look and said, "Everyone get up!"

"Thank you Queen Mother (Huang Mama)!"

Everyone went back to their seats, the old lady of the Empress Dowager smiled happily and said, "Hurry up and bring all the great-grandchildren of the Ai family and show them to the Ai family!"

The prince side Fujin Li Jiashi and Dafujin Yiergenjueluo hurriedly hugged their children and went forward. The queen mother saw that they were both fat and white, and couldn't help laughing with a chrysanthemum blooming on her face, "You look so good , white and clean!" The queen mother was so happy that she didn't know which one to hug first!

Suddenly, he raised his head and saw that it was Li Jiashi, not the Crown Princess who was holding Hong Xi, and immediately became a little unhappy, and said, "Why isn't the Crown Princess holding Hong Xi?"

Before Li Jiashi could reply, Guerjia who was sitting next to Prince Yinreng stood up and said, "Madam Huang, Hongxi was originally born by Li Jia's sister and has been raised by Li Jia herself. .”

The Empress Dowager looked at Kangxi and said: "Elder Brother's son is raised by Di Fujin, how can the prince's son be raised by Cai Fujin? Isn't the great-grandson of the Ai family a concubine? That's impossible!"

Li Jia's face turned pale immediately, Hong Yu was under the name of Da Fujin, that's because Yi Ergenjue Luo passed away shortly after giving birth, and she was still alive and well, so naturally she didn't want her son to raise her. In the name of the princess!Although Cian Fujin is a concubine, he is also a member of the royal family, so he is naturally qualified to raise his own children.Of course, if it's raised by the main wife, it's also flattery.

Kangxi also nodded and said: "What the Empress said is that she will ask the Crown Princess to raise Hongyu from now on!"

No matter how hard Li Jiashi tried her best, it would be in vain, this boss decided Hong Yu's ownership with a single word, and she couldn't allow her to say even a word!This is the identity gap!

Guerjia's brows were immediately beaming with joy, and she hurriedly leaned over and said, "Yes, Shuying is very grateful for the kindness of Madam Huang, she must treat Hongxi as her own."

Hugging the two great-grandsons respectively, the queen mother asked again: "Aijia also heard that the fourth elder brother added a little princess?"

With the shame of Li Jiashi ahead of her, Ruyan naturally didn't dare to go forward alone, so Sifujin got up and led Ruyan forward to salute, "Back to the queen mother, it was our lord's concubine Li who gave birth to a little princess .”

This time the queen mother doesn't want to hug her anymore. One is that the great-granddaughter can't be compared with the great-grandson, and the old lady of the queen mother is patriarchal; concubine)!

The queen mother only took a closer look.He looked at Ru Yan who was holding Xiao Gege again, and said, "Are you the Li family from the fourth family?"

Ru Yan hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the slave is Niu Hulu's family. Sister Li is not feeling well today and cannot enter the palace."

The Empress Dowager looked at Wen Xi suddenly, and said: "Is there a concubine of the Niu Hulu family in the fourth mansion? After all, he is still in the same family as the imperial concubine." The Empress Dowager did not recognize Ru Yan, so she asked this question.

Wen Xi smiled lightly and said, "It's just a relative who can't be beaten, he is not qualified to be drafted, so the Queen Mother doesn't have to care about it."

The Queen Mother let out an oh. "Looks good-looking, it's a bit wronged to be just a concubine." The queen mother said this just to save Wen Xi's face.The Queen Mother doesn't know about Ruyan's "great achievements", otherwise she wouldn't be able to say good things about her. If she knew, it would be very kind if she didn't strangle her to death!It's just knowing Wen Xi's position in Kangxi's heart.It's all about selling a gentle face.

Ruyan was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly said humbly: "It's a blessing in this life to be able to serve Si Ye and Si Fujin as a slave, so I dare not ask for anything else!"

However, Wen Xi giggled, and said: "Princes and elder brothers are all very noble, and it is a great blessing to be able to enter the family of the royal family. If you dare to say that you are wronged, then you don't know how to praise!" It's sarcastic.Although Ruyan's chest was full of breath.But he didn't dare to refute, so he had to bear it down.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, because it is a family banquet, it seems that there is more intimacy outside, but it is just a face-saving intimacy. Secretly, I don't know how the concubines compete for favor, and how the princes fight secretly!It's just that they are all amiable on the surface, and the big guys coax the queen mother and old lady to laugh together.

The Tai Chi Hall is bustling with activity.The silk and bamboo orchestra played joyful tunes, and the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room made small and exquisite mooncakes that were only big enough to bite.There are five blessings holding the longevity pattern on it, which is an old style, and there is nothing new in the taste.In the Mid-Autumn Festival, apart from presenting gifts, brothers in the branch prefectures offer their own mooncakes.The mooncakes presented by Dafujin are four kinds of patterns of Fulu Shouxi and four kinds of fillings, which look very good; The Sixi mooncakes are as big as the noodles, and the freshest ones are the mooncakes from Sifujin, which attract countless people's attention as soon as they are served.

The Queen Mother also couldn't help but said in surprise: "How is this done, the skin is transparent!"

Ulanara said with a smile: "This is Niu Hulu Gege's handicraft, and my grandson's wife doesn't know about it."

Ruyan couldn't help showing a look of complacency on her face, and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, this is called ice skin mooncake. It is so named because the skin of the mooncake is as transparent as ice. The skin is made of glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour and orange flour." The four moon cakes have four kinds of fillings, all of which can be seen, namely egg yolk filling, lotus seed paste filling, seafood filling and meat filling, please let the Empress Dowager appreciate it.”

The Empress Dowager looked pleasantly surprised, and said: "The skin is unusual, and the stuffing is also weird. Egg yolk and lotus seed paste are nothing more than that, but even seafood and meat can be used to make mooncake stuffing! The old four's Gege is really different! "

Isn't it different!Wen Xi raised her eyebrows and picked up a lotus seed paste mooncake. I have to say that Ruyan really has a lot of experience in cooking and eating. From the previous ice bowl to the current mooncake, she has brought all the culinary skills of later generations.Wen Xi doesn't know these things, but a person like her who doesn't know how to enjoy delicious food without doing anything can be considered a blessing.

Ruyan brows proudly and returns to her original position.The first three mooncakes, the queen mother only tasted them, but she ate three of the four mooncakes from Si Age's house. The old lady didn't like seafood, and the other three all fell down. Ruyan, a little concubine made a splash at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet!

Xiao Mi Peach's little hands grabbed the egg yolk stuffing and gnawed on it. His teeth hadn't grown sharp yet, but luckily the mooncakes were soft and wouldn't grit his teeth, so he ate them. He ate them all. Mi Tao looked up at her chubby face and said coquettishly, "Er Niang, I want more!"

Only one serving is served on each table, and each serving has only one egg yolk mooncake, all of which have gone into Xiao Mitao's stomach, Wen Xi can't ask for it for others, can she?Then he lowered his head and wiped his son's mouth, and said, "Go back and ask the dining room to make it for you, you little greedy cat!" Then he raised his head and said arrogantly to Ruyan: "Go and write down the mooncake recipe, just ask all the sisters in the palace to make a copy .”

How can you invent?My old lady is the best at plagiarizing!See if you invented it fast, or my old lady pirated it fast!Still blatantly pirated! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
