The concubine of Germany is as beautiful as a god [Qing wear]

The time has entered the late March of the lunar calendar, and in two more months, it will be Hefei's 20th birthday.

He Concubine decided to take advantage of her birthday to frustrate De Concubine's prestige. It would be great if De Concubine could fall out of favor.

When the green plums were ripe, she liked to drink the green plum wine brewed by her family in previous years, so she wrote to her brother and asked Galdan to send her some green plums.

Galdan doted on this younger sister very much, and it was the first time for his younger sister to be so far away from home, and it was still such a long time, so he made people hurry up and sent two carts of green plums to the capital.

This time, even Kangxi was startled.

Qingmei gave too much, so Kangxi rewarded half of it to the princes and ministers, and gave the other half to Concubine He for her to handle.

He concubine happily divided the green plums into many shares and gave them to all kinds of women, even some low-ranking promises, Chang Zai was no exception.As a result, she received another wave of compliments.

This day, Ma Guan was thinking about how to deal with the unfinished green plums. After all, one or two of these things are still good, but if there are too many, the teeth will be knocked out, too sour.

It's good for brewing wine, but the amount is a bit small, so you can't make much wine.

"Sister Depin, I brought you green plums again." At this moment, Hepin's voice sounded, still panting.

Ma Guan took a look and found that she was carrying a large basin of green plums into the yard, and behind her were two maids carrying a basket, all three of them were sweating from exhaustion.

At this situation, Ma Guan was shocked at the time, how many green plums are there with the concubine?Do you really eat this thing as a meal?

She hurriedly asked the maids and eunuchs to take over, and invited the concubine into the house.

Yinzhen Yinzuo was playing peek-a-boo with the white fox, when he saw the concubine coming in, the two little fellows saluted and greeted him respectfully, which made the concubine very happy.

"Sister, these two little elder brothers are really likable. When can I have a little elder brother?" He concubine touched Yin Zuo's head. Yin Zuo was already in his early one year old and could walk. After Yinzhen died, he had a great time playing.

"Don't worry, the emperor loves you so much, you can get pregnant sooner or later." Ma Quan smiled and asked the two elder brothers and the white fox to play in the yard.

"I hope so." He Bi propped his chin, glanced at Wei Changzai from the corner of his eye, and muttered, "Wei Changzai also gave birth to a little elder brother, which is really enviable."

Wei Changzai had a wry smile on his face, the noble concubine took the eighth elder brother away just after she was confinement.It's been half a month since she was taken away, and she was only allowed to visit her twice, what's so enviable about that?

Seeing this, Ma Guan changed the subject: "Why did Sister Hepin bring you green plums again? You gave me so much. I haven't finished eating what you gave me last time, so I don't know what to do."

"It's all my stupid brother's fault. I asked him to bring me green plums, but he sent two full carts, and the emperor gave me one of them. Although I gave everyone some last time, there are still a lot of uneaten It's over, we can only continue to send people away."

The concubine stuck out her tongue helplessly, then said after a pause, "After thinking about it, I can only use it to make wine."

"Brewing wine? That's a good idea." Ma Guan nodded slightly, which seemed to be the same idea as hers.

But what she was thinking about was brewing wine. Although the brewed green plum wine is not as delicious as fermented, it is safer.The fermentation method is very troublesome, and if the craft is not mature, it can easily lead to excessive methanol content.

"Sister Hebi can make wine?" Hearing Hebi's meaning, it seems that he is good at this.

Hepin said proudly: "Many people in Junggar know how to make wine, not only green plum wine, but also red bayberry wine and wine. They are all delicious. Does Debi's sister know how to make wine?"

"I haven't brewed it before." Ma Guan shook her head, she only knew the principle.

With a twinkle in Hebi's eyes, she guessed that the empresses and concubines of the Qing Dynasty didn't understand this at all. In this way, they could implement their plan smoothly.

"Then I'll teach my sister, let's make it together, and I will be 20 years old in a month or so, and I can drink it by then."

"Okay." Ma Guan is still quite interested in food, but she is very skeptical about the taste of the green plum wine that has been brewed for more than a month.

The two went ahead, and the concubine described the details of the fermentation and brewing to Ma Quan. Ma Quan recorded it on paper and found that it was similar to the process she knew.

However, there were a few details that made her very concerned, and she told the concubine that she must use ripe greengage, so that it tastes good.As far as Maru knows, ripe greengage contains the highest pectin content, and pectin will form methanol after fermentation.

People in Junggar often make wine, haven't you noticed this?

Hepin also said that the storage temperature should be higher, so that the speed can be faster, but Ma Guan knows that the higher the fermentation temperature, the more methanol will be formed.

The same is true for some other small details, which sound reasonable at first glance, but they will actually increase the risk.

At the end of the hearing, Ma Guan had to doubt Hebi's intentions. Did Hebi want to teach her how to make wine, or did he want to kill her?

"This will make the brewing successful?" She confirmed again.

"Yes, it can be successfully brewed in this way. The green plum wine is very delicious, and my sister will know when the time comes." He concubine replied calmly.

Ma Guan nodded slightly, and asked, "Is there any risk in brewing this way? Do people in Junggar often drink this kind of wine?"

Hepin's heart skipped a beat, did Depin discover something?This is absolutely impossible!Debi is just a concubine and has never been in contact with wine making, so she will never see the trap in it.

Maybe, just being too cautious.

"What's the risk? People in Junggar drink it every day, not only green plum wine, but also wine."

"Then I'm relieved." Ma Guan smiled faintly, almost sure that Hebi wanted to harm her on purpose.

She drank the wine brewed in this way every day to avoid methanol poisoning. She wrote the name upside down.

Although she felt that Hebi was pretending deliberately from the beginning, she still felt chilled when the other party revealed his real purpose.

She has a close relationship with her concubine, and she also teaches painting with all her money, and she often takes care of her concubine on weekdays.And the other party just wanted to win her trust, and then looked for an opportunity to put her to death.

Fortunately, she also kept an eye on it.

"Sister Debi can rest assured. When we brew it, other ladies will definitely be envious. I have already thought about it. When I am 20 years old, I must invite all the ladies to taste it." Hebi saw her I completely believed it, and a gleam of success flashed across my eyes.

When the time comes, Concubine De will take out the wine for the ladies to drink, oh, it will be fun.

That afternoon, under the guidance of Hepin, Ma Guan and others started brewing wine.The winemaking process is very complicated, especially the secondary fermentation, which is very demanding.

Hepin specially asked someone to select a batch of ripe plums, washed them and mashed the pulp, then added koji and sugar, and put them in a clean glass jar.The jar should not be filled too full, so as not to cause air bubbles to rise after fermentation.

At her suggestion, Ma Guan fermented the first batch of green plums that night.

Yuan He, Zhu Yun and other court ladies were very curious about this kind of wine making, and they scrambled to stir it every day. After three days, the jar was completely sealed and did not move anymore.

"I didn't expect to have such an ability with my concubine. This has not been brewed yet, and it smells very fragrant." Yuan He stared at the big glass jar for a moment, wishing that time would speed up and the brewing would be successful immediately.

When the empress is happy, maybe she will reward them with a few sips.

"We are brewing this wine for the first time, so we must be careful and put it in a place that is not so hot." Ma Guan warned.

"But I told my concubine that the higher the temperature, the better, and the servant is still thinking of taking it out to bask in the sun." Yuan He looked puzzled.

Zhu Yun next to her frowned slightly, as if she understood something: "Sister Yuan He, let's do what your mother says."

Yuan He nodded and ordered the matter.

A few days later, Ma Guan took the two of them to Jingren Palace, Hepin and the two maids were talking in the local language, seeing Ma Guan coming, his eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly put on a smile.

"Why is Sister Debi coming to my place when you are free?"

"Your sister doesn't welcome me?" Ma Guan smiled and entered the room.

"How could it be? I can't even invite my sister. Sister, please sit down, Mona, and serve tea for Concubine De." He and Concubine held Ma Guan's arm affectionately, and the two sat down next to each other.

Ma Guan looked around the room, with a look of reminiscence: "The last time I came to Jingren Palace was three years ago, when Empress Xiaozhaoren was still living here, and three years have passed in a flash, and Jingren Palace also welcomes you. Here comes a new master."

"I've also heard about the empress, saying that the empress is very virtuous, and the concubines in the harem like her very much. It's a pity that I came too late, so I didn't get to see the beauty of the empress." The concubine lived here for more than a month , naturally know who the former owner is.

Even the two of Mona had fantasized about whether the emperor of the Qing Dynasty wanted her to live here on purpose to make her the next empress.

"The Empress is a very good person." Ma Guan smiled and said, "I came to you today to see the green plum wine you brew. You have experience in brewing wine, and I am always worried that my brewing is not good. "

The concubine's eyes wandered, but she quickly smiled and said, "My sister is too modest. As long as you follow the method I said, you will definitely succeed. Since my sister wants to visit, I dare not refuse to follow. Please come here."

After speaking, he ordered Mona and the two to clean up first, and then took Ma Guan to visit.

The glass jar was placed in the small kitchen, and the two of Mona put it on the table in advance. Ma Guan looked at it for a while and found that it was similar to the one he brewed, and there was no difference.

"My sister's craftsmanship is really good. It's better than mine." Ma Guan frowned on purpose, and said in doubt: "I even asked someone to hold it out to bask in the sun. Is it the same with my sister's jar?"

"I'll also let them dry it in the sun. It tastes better when it's warmer, and it ferments faster." He concubine cursed a fool secretly, and De concubine really took the jar out to bask in the sun.

Let it dry, the longer it is exposed to the sun, the more toxic it will be, and it may kill people on the spot.

Ma Guan keenly caught the strange smiles of the two of Mona, and became more and more sure that he and his concubine hadn't taken the jar out to dry in the sun.

"The sun is good today, my sister, why don't you let someone take the wine out to dry?"

Hepin's smile froze, almost thinking that Depin did it on purpose.If he refuses at this time, wouldn't it be obvious that there is a problem?

It would be no big deal to come to bask in the sun for a day, so I ordered Mona and the two to move the jar out.

The two of Mona looked at each other, this was really shooting themselves in the foot, and this concubine knew how to make trouble.

In desperation, they had no choice but to move the jar out, and the sun was just right on the jar.

What made the two of them even more speechless was that Zhu Yun kept pestering them with questions, even if they didn't leave, they couldn't move the pot back.

Ma Quan and He Concubine returned to the main hall, Ma Quan said with a smile: "I'm here today, actually there is one more thing. I discussed with Sister Hui Concubine and planned to hold a flower viewing banquet, which is also held every year in the harem. This time, the banquet will be held on your birthday."

"You just entered the palace this year, and it's the [-]th day. You should celebrate it. We will invite all the concubines in the harem to the imperial garden. Maybe the emperor will come too."

"You two sisters have troubled you. You have treated me so well. I really don't know how to repay it." Concubine He was overjoyed. She had thought about inviting the imperial concubine and several concubines to participate, but she didn't expect Concubine De to make such a big deal.

That's great, the more people there are, the better, everyone will be able to witness with their own eyes that the green plum wine brewed by De Concubine is poisonous!

It would be even better if the emperor was present, and it would be better to drink the poisonous wine of Debi.

Thinking of that scene, He Bi couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"Serve the emperor well and the harem is peaceful and peaceful, that's the best reward." Seeing her strange expression, Ma Guan knew what she was thinking without guessing.

"Sister Depin said yes. In order to repay the two sisters and the sisters who celebrated my birthday, I decided to present a dance to everyone with Musha and Mona. Sister, do you think this is good?"

"I heard that my sister is good at singing and dancing. If I can witness my sister's dancing posture, everyone must be very happy."

"Then it's settled."

So in the next few days, Ma Guan and Concubine Hui began to prepare for the flower viewing banquet and Concubine He's birthday banquet. They also went to various palaces in person to invite everyone to attend.

Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong and the others were not very interested, but they were worried about being honest and said they would reject and concubines, so they had no choice but to agree.

The imperial concubine agreed readily, and readily made Ma Guan feel that there was something wrong. In the past, the imperial concubine always looked domineering, why is she so talkative this time?

Ma Guan also invited Kangxi, who was not interested in it at first, but he heard that Hepin taught her how to brew green plum wine, so he agreed to have a drink at that time.

"With you and Concubine Hui taking care of the harem, I'm much more relieved. This year the harem is stable, and I feel very relieved." Kangxi has indeed lived a comfortable life this year. In the first two years, something happened in the harem every once in a while. This year It's already May, and it's been peaceful.

Ma Guan said in his heart that it was all because Concubine Niu lost the fight with the concubine, so she was as quiet as a chicken.And the new concubine He is preparing to make trouble, I hope the emperor will not be too angry when the time comes.

In the following days, Ma Guan will visit Hebi's green plum wine in a few days, and every time he chooses to go when the sun is shining.In order not to make her suspicious, Hebi hurriedly asked someone to carry the jar out to dry as soon as she heard that she was coming.

After going on and on like this, Hefei began to doubt whether the green plum wine he brewed might be poisonous.

Fortunately, the green plums she chose were not overripe, so there must be no problem.

After much anticipation, Hepin's birthday finally arrived.

Early this morning, the concubines went to the imperial garden to have fun, and the imperial garden was also carefully arranged.In particular, the Fubiting Pavilion is hung with plain gauze around it to keep out the heat.

At about three o'clock, Mayu and Hepin came hand in hand.

Behind them were two court ladies, and each of the four was holding a jug of wine.

Ma Guan used a jade pot, and Hefei used a silver pot, so it was easy to distinguish.

The concubine smiled, concealing the gloating in her heart.Early this morning, she went to Yonghe Palace on purpose to guide De Concubine to open the altar.It can be said that the two jugs of wine were filled under her guidance, and Debi had never tasted them, so she didn't know there was anything wrong with them.

"Just four jugs of wine, so many people don't know if it's enough." Ma Guan said worriedly.

"Sister, don't worry, just go back and get it if you don't have enough."

"That's true. The emperor also agreed to come here today, so it can be seen that he attaches great importance to my sister's birthday."

"It's all thanks to my sister." Concubine He became more and more happy, she knew very well that the emperor was also invited by Concubine De.

"Our birthday star is here." As soon as he arrived outside the Fubiting Pavilion, Concubine Hui greeted her with a smile, and the other concubines also echoed, and those with lower status saluted and greeted them.

Hepin said happily: "It is a great honor to be reunited with all the sisters today. Thank you for celebrating my birthday. To thank you, I specially brewed green plum wine. You must try it today."

"Green plum wine? It sounds good. In ancient times, there was a saying about green plum wine when cooking wine." The imperial concubine looked at the jug with a smile on her face, but that smile was a little weird.

"The concubine concubine praises me so much. This green plum wine has just been opened today. I don't know how it tastes. I hope everyone will not dislike it." He concubine fiddled with four jugs and said with a smile: "This jade pot is made by De concubine's sister. Brewed, this silver pot is brewed by me."

She specifically pointed this out, meaning it was obvious that she was poisoned after drinking Debi's wine, but it had nothing to do with her.

Ma Guan pretended not to understand, just nodded and said: "This is the first time I brew, the method is taught by my concubine sister, if it doesn't taste good, everyone can't make fun of me."

"Sister Depin is skillful, even if it is the first time brewing, I believe the taste will not be bad." Yipin was very supportive.

Concubine Hui also said: "I'll try your brew first, if it tastes good, you can give me some more later."

"Sister Hui, don't worry, I still have some, I'll give them to you later." Ma Guan joked a few words.

At this time, melon and fruit snacks were also brought up, and the banquet officially began.

The two maids of Yuan He, Zhu Yun and He Bin began to pour wine for everyone. Since there was not much wine, each of them only poured a glass, which meant that everyone could only drink the green plum wine brewed by one of them.

He concubine looked at the wine flowing out of the jade pot, the corners of her lips slightly raised, at least a dozen concubines' cups were filled with wine brewed by De concubine.

The consequences of drinking this cup are really unpredictable. If it is more toxic, causing blindness or even death, then more than a dozen opponents can be killed in one go.

When the local people in Junggar just started making wine with green plums, they didn't know the seriousness of the matter, and they were poisoned. The method of wine making was gradually improved through each poisoning.

Of course, blindness or death was uncommon, unless a large amount of plum wine was consumed.Drinking just one drink generally results in only mild intoxication.

After a while, she withdrew her eyes and stared at her cup. She happened to exchange with Depin. The cup in Depin's cup was brewed by her, and the cup in her cup was brewed by Depin.

She frowned secretly, thinking about whether she should drink it or not. She might be poisoned if she drank it, but it would be too conspicuous if she didn't drink it. After all, she proposed this thing on her own initiative.

"Then let's celebrate Hepin's birthday together today, and hope that Hepin's sister will have today every year, and every year will have today." While thinking, Ma Guan had already picked up the wine glass and began to bless.

Everyone also raised their glasses one after another. The green plum wine smells delicious, even those who don't drink alcohol on weekdays are a little moved.

"Blessings and concubines have today every year, and every year has today." All the concubines congratulated in unison, and under the leadership of Ma Yuan, they drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

"Thank you, sisters." Infected by the atmosphere, He concubine also raised her head and drank the wine in her glass in one gulp.

If she is poisoned, just be poisoned, the emperor will take pity on her even more!

"To thank all the sisters, I will present a dance today, I hope you don't dislike it." Concubine He put down his glass and winked at Mu Sha and Mona.

The two maids immediately took out the prepared instruments and began to strike.

Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect Hebi to dance on the spot, but they heard that Hebi was good at singing and dancing.

As the music sounded, Hepin danced in the pavilion.It was a very unique dance, and Hebi's figure was light, and as she spun around, the long skirt around her waist fluttered like a butterfly in spring.

Everyone couldn't help applauding, even the noble concubine stared at her for a moment. This princess of the Junggar Khanate really has some skills.

At the end of the song, Hepin held the hem of the skirt with both hands and smiled brightly, more beautiful than the most delicate flowers in the imperial garden.

"Okay!" A shout of hello suddenly sounded not far away, and Kangxi walked over with a smile on his face, and everyone quickly saluted and greeted in unison.

"Let's all sit down. Today is Hepin's birthday, so you don't have to be restrained." Kangxi strode into the Fubiting Pavilion, sat down next to Ma Guan, and praised: "Hepin's dancing posture is still so beautiful, like Guanghan's dance. Fairy."

"The emperor praised her absurdly. How can my concubine compare to Fairy Chang'e?" He concubine smiled shyly, but her eyes were a little smug. The emperor praised her in front of everyone.

She sat down next to Kangxi and said with a smile: "The emperor came at the right time. Today, my concubine and sister De concubine have prepared green plum wine. Why don't you have a glass of green plum wine?"

"En." Kangxi smelled the aroma of wine as soon as he came, and he was indeed somewhat interested in this green plum wine.

He concubine was secretly happy, took the initiative to pick up the silver pot and poured Kangxi a cup, and the maids also filled it for the concubines.

After two rounds, the four jugs of wine were all empty, and the concubine secretly thought, if this cup goes down, someone must be poisoned.

Kangxi drank it first, and the concubines followed suit. The green plum wine has a mellow aroma and a mild taste, but it is indeed delicious.

"This wine is good, you can keep some on hand." Kangxi drank a cup and was also very satisfied.

Ma Quan smiled and said, "There are still some left in my concubine's place, but I'm afraid there are no delicacies brewed with my concubines."

"Oh? Send me a pot later." Kangxi didn't mind at all.

"Okay, as long as the emperor doesn't dislike it."

"Bump." There was a clear and crisp sound, and everyone was startled, only to realize that it was Mr. Hesheli who knocked over the cup.

Seeing nobleman Hesheli clutching his stomach, he said with a painful face: "My stomach hurts... so uncomfortable..."

Concubine He was startled, sure enough someone was poisoned, now let's see how Concubine De will end up!

The author has something to say: Harmful, more... definitely not going out to play...
