The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

There is a flower garden in Xian'an Palace, where crabapple flowers are in full bloom gently, and the flowers hang down to tell the secrets that no one knows.

The crabapple flowers don't grow very tall, so it should have just been planted not long ago.Qiqige gently touched the branches, leaves and petals of the crabapple, then grabbed it and planed it.

The soil under the flower tree is fine, Qiqige poured some water and tried it, and found that the viscosity is also good, suitable for building a furnace.

Destroying the flowers with hot hands is not what Qiqige wants, and there is no other way.I used to live on the grassland, and I could dig a hole when I went out. If I wanted black soil, I could find black soil. If I wanted loess, I could find loess. If I wanted sand, I could dig sand. It was very convenient.But there is no such condition in the palace, Qiqige is very melancholy.

The newly dug soil was slightly moist and still had plant roots. Qiqige spread the soil and exposed it to the sun.After the soil is dry, she has to sift the soil, so that the mud is more fine and sticky.

Queen Qiqige of the farming department believes that slow work produces meticulous work, and there is no need to be too anxious about work. At this moment, she wants to do something more meaningful.For example, to eat dessert, she kind of wants to eat sweet peas.

Aunt Su Ma came to Xian'an Palace at this time. She saw the maids and eunuchs standing outside the gate and thought that something had happened inside, so she was so frightened that she opened the door and broke in.Unexpectedly, behind the palace gate was a field of mud and bricks placed indiscriminately, and a queen with small black hands stood in the middle of the courtyard.

Qiqige saw Aunt Su Ma smile, "Auntie is here! Please come in!"

"Ma'am, what are you doing?" Aunt Su Ma asked softly, as if she was afraid of scaring the little queen.

"I want to drink a pot of tea, so I plan to build a stove."

Aunt Su Ma didn't understand the causal relationship between drinking a pot of tea and the stove.

Qiqige smiled proudly: "I used to do this often at home, and the stove I built was better than the ones built by craftsmen!"

La Aunt Su Ma nodded with a smile, she probably understood what the queen meant by delicate naughtiness.

Aunt Su Ma felt that her status was low, and she didn't dare to persuade the queen, so she put down the queen mother's reward and went back.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager is reading Buddhist scriptures.She twirled the prayer beads on her wrist and asked casually: "Is everything delivered? Does the queen still like it?"

Aunt Su Ma recalled Qiqige's expression when she received the reward. There were surprises, but the happiness brought by the reward seemed not as much as that of building a stove.

"Returning to the empress, the empress is very fond of your reward."

The queen mother put down the scriptures and sighed, "Oh, as long as she likes it. The emperor is too capricious! I can guess how the concubines of the east and west six palaces laughed at the queen without going out! The emperor does not give the queen face, and the middle palace is unstable. It is useless to the family and the country!"

Aunt Su Ma listened quietly without interrupting.

The queen mother asked again: "What did the queen do when you went? Did she hide in Xian'an Palace and feel sad?"

Aunt Su Ma laughed dryly, "This servant is about to tell you about this! Empress, she...isn't very sad." To be precise, she should be very happy.

"When the slave went, the empress had just dismantled the kang in the small cubicle. She got some soil from somewhere, and planned to build a stove with mud and cook a pot of tea."

The Queen Mother frowned and asked, "What? How dare the dining room make things difficult for the Queen by refusing to make a pot of tea?"

Lagu Su Ma: "That's not the case. The empress wants to do it herself, and she seems to be enjoying it."

The queen mother was silent for a long time, she thought to herself, I have lived in vain all these years, and there is such a Mongolian lady in the world.

Seeing the empress dowager remained silent for a long time, Aunt Su Ma persuaded: "The empress is still young, so it's normal for her to be naughty and playful. Work like building a stove is done by servants. It's not decent for the empress to do this, but the palace Time is long, and the empress must have something to pass the time! She is still young, and you have to teach the empress slowly!"

The queen mother thought for a while and sighed: "Forget it, forget it this time!"

Aunt Su Ma laughed and said, "Having such a good mother-in-law as the Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager is very lucky."

The queen mother sneered, "I only hope that her blessings can be shared with me more!" The queen mother felt that her life was miserable, her son was disobedient, and her two daughters-in-law were unruly and self-willed, and the other loved to build stoves and mud, and they couldn't handle them all!

In Xian'an Palace, Qiqige continued to work after eating dessert.

Horqin's good sister, E Wenzhu, appeared again, "When I went back and changed my clothes, why did Aunt Su Ma come here? Don't build the stove, the Queen Mother must know about this meeting, you are not afraid of being scolded!"

Qiqige took out a ball of wig from the dressing table, cut it into pieces and threw it into the mud.Her hair is thin and short, and many tall buns can't be combed. There must be a few wigs in the dressing table.

The mud for bricklaying should be mixed with some shredded wheat straw, which can prevent the soil from falling off. There is no wheat straw here. Qiqige heard that the hair can also be used, so let's try it.

Qiqige stirred the mud again, and she said casually: "In this life, I always find something I like to do, and I can't stop moving forward because of fear."

E Wenzhu pursed her mouth, "You are such a weirdo."

Laying bricks, plastering mud, and building chimneys, Qiqige is skilled in craftsmanship, and the stove was quickly set up.The mud between the brick joints is still wet, let it dry first, the sun is very good today, the mud will dry soon.

The furnace is built, but it is not yet time to rest.Qiqige has not forgotten that her ultimate goal is to drink a pot of tea.

Pot tea is milk tea. Boil brick tea with water in a large pot, then add milk, fried rice, dried meat, milk tofu and so on.The queen of the farming family can't stop here, in addition to the above, she also wants pearl taro balls and blood glutinous rice.

The small kitchen of Xian'an Palace has a complete range of materials. Qiqige steams sweet potatoes and taro, and turns out brown sugar and tapioca flour to make small ingredients.She was quick and orderly, and the eunuch in charge of the small kitchen flattered her while helping her.

The newly built stove is still easy to burn. Before she got married, Qiqige prepared a lot of special dowry for herself. There was a big black pot inside, which was her beloved treasure.

Wash the black pot and add water. After the brick tea is boiled, pour in fresh milk, and then filter out the tea dregs.The freshly brewed milk tea had a charming aroma. Aruna put the milk tea into a food box, and the other food box contained various small ingredients.

At this time, the twilight is all together, and it is time to say hello again.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, all the concubines and concubines of Jin have arrived, even the emperor.

The queen mother smiled and said: "The emperor went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night. I thought you were busy with government affairs, but I didn't expect you would have the time to come here today to pay your respects."

The emperor laughed. He heard that the newly married queen built a stove in her bedroom, which was really funny.The Queen personally handed over the handle, and of course he would seize the opportunity to reprimand her.

"Emperor Niang, important military and political affairs are not divided into time. There was an urgent military affairs yesterday, but not today. Maybe there will be important matters to be dealt with when it is time to go to bed. Who can say for sure?"

The empress dowager and the emperor looked at each other and smiled. They were obviously a mother and son who were related by blood.

Qiqige was the last one to arrive, but she was not too late.It was the emperor and all the concubines of Fujin who wanted to watch the excitement, so they arrived early on purpose.

Qiqige greeted the queen mother and the emperor, and the concubine of Fujin also greeted her.

After the salute, the emperor preemptively said, "I heard that the queen is building a stove in Xian'an Palace?"

Qiqige replied in Mongolian: "Your Majesty, I don't understand Chinese."

Aruna hurried forward and said: "The servant can understand, please allow the servant to translate for the empress."

Aruna repeated the emperor's question in Mongolian, Qiqige nodded and admitted, she raised her head and smiled brightly at the emperor.

"This morning, the emperor ordered me to be filial. After receiving the imperial order, I thought, how can I express my respect and love for the queen mother, and how can I express my repentance? My dowry was given to me by my father." , Everything in my palace was gifted to me by the emperor, so I have nothing, nothing at all."

E Wenzhu held up the teacup to cover the corners of her raised lips, she had nothing, so many dowry gifts!The concubines of Fujin who were present were going to die of acid!

Qiqige continued: "I thought about it carefully, and only things I made with my own hands can express my heart. So I built the stove and made milk tea myself. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time, otherwise I would definitely make milk tofu and jerky by myself .”

Aruna brought out the milk tea and small ingredients, and Lagu Su Ma removed the refreshments on the table and helped Aruna serve the milk tea.

Milk tea is contained in a large gilt copper bowl, and small plates of similar materials are placed side by side, containing various small ingredients.

Aruna introduced: "These are salty, and these are sweet. The empress dowager and the emperor can make them according to their own taste."

Qiqige said: "My hometown is the most nostalgic place. My hometown is so far away. I only have a cup of milk tea for comfort."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Stunning! Is there no stove in Xian'an Palace? You are a noble queen in the middle palace, how can you do what a servant does! You think you are pious if you build a stove yourself? Why don't you raise cattle yourself? Milk!"

Aruna translated truthfully, and Qiqige's eyes lit up after listening, "Thank you for your concern, Xian'an Palace has a stove. The palace you prepared for me is very good, and your kindness covers the earth like the brilliance of the sun. I have thought about it too." Raising cows and milking them myself, the emperor wants to go with me! It’s just that there is no grassland in the palace, no calves, and raising cows and milking is too slow, so I have no choice but to give up.”

Emperor: Who cares about you?Who wants to go with you?Don't you understand the sarcasm?

Qiqige smiled sweetly, as long as I pretend that I don't understand Chinese, I won't know that you are scolding me.

The emperor was so angry that the empress dowager laughed and said: "It seems that the empress misunderstood, and it is no wonder that she is wrong. No matter how good the translation is, there are errors. Why don't the emperor speak to her in Mongolian?"

The emperor loves to speak Chinese in front of his mother, and the queen mother loves to speak Mongolian. The emperor's speaking of Chinese shows that he does not want to communicate with his mother.Unexpectedly, the car overturned in front of Qiqige this time.

Qiqige asked: "Queen Mother, what did I misunderstand?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's try the milk tea you made yourself!"

There is a place to put charcoal under the food box, and the milk tea is still hot.Aunt Su Ma made a bowl of salty milk tea for the Queen Mother.

The queen mother drank and sighed: "It's the taste of my hometown. The queen's filial piety and sincerity moved me."

The queen mother's words defined Qiqige's behavior as filial piety, and the emperor could no longer trouble Qiqige with the matter of building the stove.

The emperor was dissatisfied, so he came up with a plan and said to Qiqige: "The queen's heart is good, but she is still too stupid. Why do things start from the source? To make fried rice, don't you want to grow rice first? If you don’t punish me, I’m afraid you will commit another crime in the future. Let’s do this! I’ve carved out a piece of the imperial garden, and you have to cultivate it well.”

The Queen Mother frowned and objected, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

How can the mother of a country farm the land?Besides, there are people coming and going in the imperial garden, isn't this intentionally making the empress look ugly?

The emperor smiled and said: "Emperor Niang, what's wrong with this, she learned a lesson only after suffering."

Aruna translated as usual, and Qiqige was overjoyed when she heard it, "Thank you, the emperor, the land you gave me is a wedding gift! I like it very much! Don't worry, I will cultivate it well, and I will never lose face of the emperor!"

The emperor held his breath, what kind of wedding gift, can you understand human speech?
