imperial dream

The next day, Pang Feng followed Guo Huai to the queen mother's palace.After the ceremony, the Empress Dowager invited her to sit down. At this time, the Empress Dowager was also present.

The empress said before the empress dowager could speak: "Lady Ligui, I just talked to the empress mother about the New Year's banquet yesterday, I want to know if you asked for it on my own initiative?"

Pang Feng immediately got up and knelt down and said: "Empress Hui Bing, my concubine dare not do this."

"I think it's because the emperor knows your cooking skills are superb, so that's why?"

"..." Pang Feng thought about a lot of explanations, but finally felt that it was not right, and finally said: "That day, my concubine made osmanthus cake and shared it with my sister. , so I asked my concubine to hold a New Year's banquet." Pang Feng had no choice but to do this, after all, she didn't understand the Queen Mother's temperament.

The queen mother waved to the queen, and then said softly: "Mrs. Ligui, Aijia is just curious. The lotus seed soup is indeed better than the imperial chef in the palace. Can you tell me how to do it?"

"Yes, the main ingredients of lotus seed soup are white fungus and lotus seeds. Soak them in water for two to three hours. Wash off the yellow stems of the white fungus. Wash the lotus seeds and remove the lotus heart. Then put the white fungus and lotus seeds into the pot and add an appropriate amount of water. After boiling, simmer for half an hour or more. Add rock sugar and wolfberry, continue to cook for a while and then serve." Pang Feng's "Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup" was taught by the cook at home.

The queen mother nodded and thought to herself: This girl is really good, so she said: "Would you like to teach the cook in Aijia's small kitchen?"

"Being able to enter the Queen Mother's kitchen is already a blessing from the previous life, and my concubine is willing."

The queen mother said to the queen: "Rong'er, take Ligui."

After the queen and Pang Feng left, Guo Huai said, "Your Majesty is tired, do you want to rest?"

"The Ai family likes Pang Feng very much."

"It's good that the lady is happy."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Let's find a chance!"

"Slaves would like to obey the Queen Mother's order." Guo Huai naturally understood that the Queen Mother meant to find an opportunity to let the Emperor know, and not to treat Lady Li badly.

Later, the tremella and lotus seed soup spread in the palace, and everyone liked it very much...

————————————————————

In March of the following year, Yang Yun was also making Pang Fengjiao's lotus seed soup in her small kitchen, but what she was making now was red dates and lotus seed soup.

The fragrance was overflowing, and the emperor and Chen Lin could smell it when they came in. The emperor didn't allow to pass it on, so he went to the small kitchen by himself.Seeing Yang Yun guarding by the stove, she quietly dismissed Ruyi and the other servants and looked at her.

Yang Yun said, "Ruyi, bring some sugar."

The emperor found the prepared sugar and handed it to her.

Yang Yun smiled and said to himself: "If the third brother comes, he will definitely like it."

The emperor smiled and thought to himself: This girl, she always thinks of me at any time, and it is not in vain that I have spoiled her for the past few months. The only shortcoming is that she is still not pregnant after so long, otherwise she could be justified. Raise her position.So he came over and put his arms around her and said, "Yun'er, is this jujube and lotus seed soup specially made for me?"

Yang Yun was so frightened that he lost his spoon...

"Did I scare you?"

"Why do you come here quietly every time?"

"Smelling your fragrance naturally stays for you."

"It will be ready soon. This soup of red dates and lotus seeds nourishes Qi and nourishes blood. It will be ready in a while."

"Okay." Seeing that she was so focused, the emperor stopped disturbing her and leaned aside to watch her busy figure.

After a while, Yang Yun filled a bowl and put it aside, the emperor couldn't wait to eat it, Yang Yun was in a hurry: "Be careful it's hot."

"Yun'er has been married to me for half a year, when will I not be impatient?"

"It's just out of the pot. If it burns you, Yun'er will die." Yang Yun actually cared about him, so he had to use some random reasons to talk about the matter.

After a while, the emperor was approved to drink lotus seed soup, and the taste was almost comparable to Pang Feng's.He said, "Why don't you invite the Queen Mother to taste it? She must like it."

"This...is this okay?" Yang Yun has always been poor at cooking, and this is what Pang Feng taught many geniuses to learn.

"Sure." The emperor looked at a maid outside and said, "Come in."

"What is the emperor's order?"

"Send the jujube and lotus seed soup made by your nobleman to the Queen Mother."

"Your maid obeys the order." After finishing speaking, the girl filled one-third of the cup and went out with the remaining two-thirds.

Seeing how careful she was, the emperor asked, "This maid is very clever, what's her name?"

"Liu Xiangji used to be with the concubine De, but was fined to chop firewood in the imperial dining room. Afterwards, the empress took her in, and the concubines were arranged to go to Cuiyunxuan when they entered the palace."

The emperor nodded and stopped talking.

————————————————————

The maid named Liu Xiangji was walking on the road carrying red dates and lotus seed soup. At this moment, a maid came over and said, "Isn't this our former Xiangji girl?"

"Is there something wrong?" Liu Xiangji knew her, she was Lu Zhu, the personal maid of the Concubine De Gui, she didn't want to get involved with Concubine De Gui's people at the moment, after all, she was ostracized there, and in the end she was framed for stealing and demoted to chop firewood If it wasn't for the empress, maybe I would have died of exhaustion long ago.

"Can't we meet and say hello?"

"I have something to do, so I'm sorry."

"Now your people from Yunnan and Guizhou are gaining the Holy Family..." Lvzhu said loudly on purpose.

Liu Xiangji stopped and said, "What's the matter with you?"

"Are you following your success too? What is this?" the maid asked while looking at her soup pot.

Liu Xiangji ignored her and left.

The maid looked at her back and thought to herself: I don't know why she died.Then proudly left...
