The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 946 Birthday (2)
After entering the East Nuan Pavilion, the two of them performed the blessing ceremony respectfully. Xiao Jun seemed to be in a good mood. In the past few days, because of Qingchen's help, the mountain of government affairs has been handled several times faster. The emperor also felt a lot lighter, and more importantly, whenever he looked up, he could see her sitting opposite her concentrating seriously, and sometimes seeing her distressed little face with her chin resting on her head, the emperor would call I feel relieved and satisfied from the bottom of my heart.

Ye Hanyu presented the food box in her hand and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine made some snacks for the emperor. I don't know if it suits the emperor's taste. Please don't dislike my concubine's poor craftsmanship."

Qingchen helped bring out those few plates of pastries, put them in front of Xiao Jun, and said with a smile: "My sister is too modest, if your craftsmanship is not good, other people will have no face to deliver food to the emperor." ?”

Xiao Jun picked up a piece of crystal osmanthus cake. Seeing that the cake was golden in color and crystal clear, it smelled tangy before it entered the mouth. It's no wonder that Chen'er praised you for your good craftsmanship."

Then he casually picked up the plate, handed it to Qingchen and said, "Try it too, it's really good."

Qingchen hurriedly took the dish, put the plate back on the table, pouted at Ye Hanyu and said, "Your Majesty, my sister is really eccentric. I have never eaten such delicious dim sum in her palace before. It can be seen that she loves it." Others are unwilling to put their minds to it, only the emperor is willing to take such painstaking efforts."

Ye Hanyu's face flushed, and she seemed a little shy to blame: "Eating can't stop your mouth, so I'll let you be clever."

"So I don't accept my sister's favor, and today I'm honored by the emperor." Qingchen ate a piece of rose cake, and deliberately pushed the plate in front of the emperor and said: "The emperor will also try this, sister probably It's made of fresh rose petals in the conservatory, look how beautiful the petals are in here."

"Concubine Zhao has been the best in everything since elementary school. It's not like you. She doesn't pay attention to everything." The emperor put it down after eating two yuan, and took two sips of the maple dew tea handed over by Fuquan. He took the handkerchief in her hand and wiped it off for her, with an intimate and natural movement, and Qingchen didn't look flattered or embarrassed, as if he had long been used to the emperor's pampering.

She curled her lips and said: "In the eyes of the emperor, sister is good in everything she does, and concubines can't do anything better than sister."

Xiao Jun laughed and said: "You don't have to be unconvinced, what I said is the truth, but I don't care, you have your own good, and that is incomparable to others."

At this time, Ye Hanyu asked with a smile: "Just now, I seemed to see that Yun Lan was also holding a food box in her hand. What good things were in it? Since it was brought for the emperor, why didn't it be presented?"

It's not a big deal just after lunch, how much appetite does the emperor have to eat at this moment?If the cakes for both of them were presented, the emperor wouldn't be able to eat much, he was embarrassed, and Ye Hanyu's face was ugly, so Qingchen asked Yun Lan to take his cakes to the waiter, and wanted to wait until the afternoon, after Ye Hanyu left, to present them .After all, if the emperor could eat more, Ye Hanyu would be happy too.

She meant it well, but when Ye Hanyu mentioned it, the emperor also asked with interest: "Is it the pastry you promised to make for me before? Since you brought it, why didn't you present it?"

Ye Hanyu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Don't be embarrassed, as long as you do it with your heart, the emperor will not make fun of you."

Xiao Jun glanced at Ye Hanyu indistinctly with her deep eyes, and saw that Qingchen seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. Xiao Jun probably wanted to understand something, so she said, "I'm full now, why don't I present it later?" .”

But Ye Hanyu said playfully, "Your Majesty, the dim sum must be freshly made to taste delicious, and it won't taste good when it's cold. Besides, the concubine is really a little puzzled, what kind of good stuff did Chen'er make so that it can be eaten like this?" Hidden ones, let someone present them and let me see what new tricks you have learned?"

Qingchen was still hesitating, and listened to Xiaojun's light instructions: "Fuquan, go and bring in the things that Concubine Chen brought."

Fu Quan hurriedly went out, brought a food box in after a while, put it in front of the emperor, and then gently opened the lid of the box.After just one glance, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "What a beautiful pastry."

The emperor glanced at it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, thinking that he had guessed what she was thinking, she just didn't want to embarrass Ye Hanyu, so she didn't want to present it.

Ye Hanyu couldn't help being stunned when she saw what Fuquan took out. It was a small cake gift box, and there were six small cakes of different designs, colors, and flavors inside, forming a plum blossom shape. Looking at it like that So beautiful, it's hard to swallow.

Each small cake is made in the shape of mille-feuille, with different layers of colors. It looks as beautiful as a rainbow from the side, with cheese, vegetables and fruits mixed in, and each small cake is dotted with different patterns, such as hibiscus, rose, peony……

Xiao Jun picked up a magnolia-shaped one, looked it up with a smile on her face, and asked, "How did you come up with it? Cakes can also come up with so many novelties, it reminds me of the ice bowl you made last summer. "

"Small tricks, just to make the emperor laugh." Qingchen picked up a hibiscus flower and handed it to Ye Hanyu, "Sister, try it too."

The smile on Ye Hanyu's face was a bit stiff, and then she smiled insincerely and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen has a lot of tricks, I'm afraid the old pastry chef in this palace can't think of so many tricks."

The emperor nodded while eating and said: "The cakes in the imperial dining room are just like that. It's not as good as the ones from the small kitchens in your palaces, which are more in line with my taste. Concubine Chen's cakes are very good, soft and sweet, and there are Fruits, fresh and refreshing, I just wanted to eat something refreshing."

Ye Hanyu didn't want to eat it at first, but after hearing what the emperor said, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish it. She praised with a strong face, "It's really thoughtful, and the taste is delicious. It's good for the emperor to have as a supper at night."

"That's right." The emperor replied lightly.

Qingchen put the rest of the snacks back into the food box and packed them up. At this time, it was time for Xiao Jun to deal with political affairs.

Sure enough, he listened to the emperor's order and said: "If Concubine Zhao has nothing to do, go back first, Concubine Chen stays here, I still have something to say to you."

Ye Hanyu's face froze, and after a little hesitation, she still said tactfully: "Your Majesty, when the concubine came out just now, I saw the servants in the small kitchen bringing a lot of fresh venison. The concubine wanted to make a casserole for the emperor tonight." Meat ginseng soup, when is it better to deliver it to the emperor?"
