Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

Now it's midsummer, Wan Zhen'er followed Mistress Sun step by step, holding Mistress Sun's arm.She was wearing a light blue tulle jacket, the translucent material revealing her strong and swollen arms, as well as her small thick waist under the white bellyband.

The Empress Dowager Sun took a cute and funny little girl and a group of people from the palace on foot to the lotus pond in the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. She wore a black gauze jacket, through which she could see the white silk jacket, and could also see the flowers. See the arm, a skirt of agarwood color.The lotus under the scorching sun is the most beautiful red.

The sun in the sky is very vicious, but it has nothing to do with Sun Niangniang. The palace servants behind him hold up dark green treasure covers as parasols.

There is a boxwood Longevity Pavilion beside the lotus pond, which is located on a rockery. Sun Niangniang sat in the pavilion, condescendingly looking down at the layers of blue waves dotted with scarlet, drinking the iced sour plum soup in the suitcase, how pleasant.

There was a pottery bucket in the suitcase, some ice cubes were put in the bucket, and the bottle of sour plum soup was kept in the ice cubes, and Wang Shanggong poured a cup of tea.Wan Zhen'er sneaked over and took out a piece of ice, threw it into her mouth, and ate it.

Sun Niangniang just thought it was funny: "Wan Zhen'er, go pick flowers."

"Yes, ma'am." Wan Zhen'er went down the mountain in a hurry. There were small wooden boats by the lotus pond, and there were palace people who knew how to punting.

Empress Dowager Sun thought it was funny to see her actions, sitting and lying down, and told the palace people: "You also go to enjoy the shade." In this pavilion, only Wang Shanggong and another big court lady stood, and the other court ladies and eunuchs were standing outside.

Wan Zhen'er doesn't dislike the heat of the sun, nor does she dislike having no peers to play with. She happily boarded the boat from the small pier, walked among the layers of lotus leaves, first picked a lotus leaf for herself as a hat, and then pulled off a lotus leaf. Just another lotus.

Empress Dowager Sun shook her small fan lightly: "Hehe, she's so funny. Zhang Shouyi, where did you find such a little thing?" She looked a bit like my son, more lively and obedient, as silly as a little bear.

Wan Zhen'er stood on the boat for a while and reached out to catch the lotus. The lotus looked close, but it seemed that she hadn't caught it after several times.

Empress Sun: "Hahahahahaha"

Wang Shanggong poked Zhang Shouyi's shoulder and said in a weak voice, "Not bad."

Zhang Shouyi was quite proud, pinching his beardless chin and posing like an old pedant.

Wang Shanggong said softly: "It's really fat and cute."

Sun Niangniang nodded: "Yes, looking at her is really refreshing."

Hey, I don't know when my son will grow up, get married, and give birth to a grandson for Ai's family to play with.

The life of a widow is really sad. The empress dowager handles government affairs all day long, and she still has something to do. Ai's family is free from sunrise to sunset. Hey, I don't know how the empress dowager survived the past years.

Like a monkey fishing for the moon, Wan Zhen'er scooped into the water, picked up some water chestnuts, and threw them on the boat.

While concentrating on picking lotus flowers, she was curious. It was during the filial piety period. The decorations in the house were all blue and white, and the paintings on the walls were replaced with ink paintings. Where can the picked lotus be placed?

While thinking about it, I pulled a big lotus pod, opened the lotus pod and took out the lotus seeds. The tender green skin was wrapped in white, tender, sweet and crisp lotus seeds. Unfortunately, it’s not yet autumn, and the lotus seeds are not plump enough. Soft lotus seeds, but the heart of the lotus seeds is almost the same.When she was at home, she heard that the famous Daming Lake was in the province, but unfortunately she had never seen it before, probably it was the scenery in front of her.

A large pot of lotus flowers attached to the lotus leaf pod was assembled, rolled up with a large lotus leaf, and Wan Zhen'er stretched out her arms in her arms, which was about as thick as her own waist, and it was enough for the two ladies to share. "Ma'am, are these enough?"

Sun Niangniang nodded slightly: "It's fine."

Put it in the bucket at the back, and back in Kunning Palace, this big bunch of lotus flowers and lotus leaves is placed on the table.

Wang Shanggong ordered a few words, and the maids brought three bottles and said, "Your Majesty, this ivory white Guanyin bottle, this bronze-colored porcelain flower goblet statue, and this Yingqing eight trigrams cong-style bottle are all suitable for you." Good for flower arrangement."

The Avalokitesvara bottle is the style of the jade bottle in the hands of the Avalokitesvara, with a beautiful curved belly and a straight long neck.Needless to say, the Huagu Zun was originally a bronze vessel, while the cong-shaped bottle is a jade ritual vessel from the Zhou Dynasty. It is a bottle with a round mouth and a square center.

Sun Niangniang thought for a while, took the scissors in her hand, repaired it, and put a lotus flower in the Guanyin vase: "Give it to Immortal Master Jingci." I hate you, only give one!

The maid took the order and left.

Put a lotus leaf, five lotus flowers, and a lotus pod in the flower gu statue, and put a few more in the cong-shaped vase: "Send them all to the empress dowager."

The rest of the lotus leaves are cleaned up in the kitchen. After the porridge is cooked, put the lotus leaves on it, and it will become a green and sweet lotus leaf porridge.The leaves of the lotus are placed under the steamed pastry, which is more fragrant than the perilla leaves. The lotus seeds are peeled off to make tea.This is a seasonal food in summer. It can clear away heat and fire. After the fat son eats it, the prickly heat on his body will be lighter.

Yes, the little chubby emperor had to wear a formal dress every time he went to court, and his chest and back were covered with prickly heat, rolling all over the bed itchy.

Empress Dowager Sun took a nap, Wang Shanggong and Zhang Shouyi took Wan Zhen'er to lunch together: "Try the newly made lotus leaf porridge."

Wan Zhen'er picked up something: "Is this a lily?"

"Yeah. Haven't seen it?"

"Hmm...not tasty." It's really not tasty.

Wang Shanggong had no appetite to eat, so he ate casually: "Of course it's not delicious, but this food can clear away heat and fire, and it can also nourish the skin and nourish the yin."

Wan Zhen'er didn't understand: "That's so good~" Chi Chi Chi Chi ate it.

Zhang Shouyi is not a picky eater, he just doesn't eat porridge at all and hates sticky things the most.He started eating with a plate of deep-fried dough sticks, soy milk and small pickles: "It's really hot today. It would be better if there was a canopy in the yard. On the way to the Imperial Garden, our family almost suffered from heat stroke."

This was originally his breakfast, but he had something to go out in the morning, so he didn't eat it until now.

Xifu came in just in time: "Grandpa worked hard, I just went to the kitchen to get some freshly steamed mung bean cakes with rock sugar, please Shang Gong and grandpa to taste."

Wan Zhen'er asked: "Sister Shanggong, Grandpa Zhang, I want to ask a question."

"you say"

"Say it"

"When you two waited on the empress, you stood all the time, from morning to night, didn't your feet hurt?"

Zhang Shouyi snorted softly: "What stupid things, didn't you see when the boys pinched our feet?"

"Won't it hurt more if you pinch it?"

Wang Shanggong: "No, massaging the acupoints can relax the tendons and activate the blood, so you won't be sore and swollen the next day."

Wan Zhen'er tugged on Cheng En's sleeve: "Brother Cheng En, teach me, I'll pinch it for myself at night."

Cheng En: "Can you reach it?"

Wan Zhen'er nodded firmly: "It's enough, I can put my toes in my mouth!"

I press my legs and bend over to practice boxing every day, but I am strong and flexible.

Wang Shanggong and Master Zhang looked at each other and laughed together.

Cheng En smiled and said: "It's not a skill, I can do it too."

The two laughed even harder, half of the mung bean cake fell to the ground, and the cat lying on the bluestone bricks in the house to enjoy the shade immediately rushed over and ate it.

Wang Shanggong laughed for a while, and then taught her how to drink water secretly: "When you are serving the empress, you are thirsty. There is a way to find time to drink water. Don't go to the ice bucket to eat ice cubes. If you eat too much, the palace will be cold, and you will have cold in the future." You are suffering."

Wan Zhen'er was very puzzled: "What is palace cold? It's not cold in this palace."

Wang Shanggong thought for a while, should he tell her some common sense about women?Hmm... It's a lot to talk about, and even though the people next to me are all eunuchs, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about. "Master Zhang knows everything, just ask him."

Zhang Shouyi blushed: "Sister Shanggong made fun of me, poor monks and monks don't care about world affairs" although our family really knew.

Coincidentally, Jin Ying pushed the door open and walked in, clasped her hands together: "Amitabha, all benefactors are always good!"

Just as Wang Shanggong picked up the teacup, he put it down again, and couldn't help laughing: "The two masters are brothers from the same school, right? When they talk, they all smell like sandalwood."

Jin Ying didn't hear the previous sentence: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Shouyi took out a bracelet, hung it on the tiger's mouth, and raised his palm with one hand: "Both my family and Lao Jin are Buddhist disciples, so we are of the same sect." Putting down his hand, his face sank: "Are you asking for money again?"

Jin Ying stepped forward and picked up a piece of mung bean cake and threw it into his mouth, and found a place to sit by himself: "The temple is built, and the monks have also been found. Choose an auspicious day and it will be consecrated."

"Then what do you want us to do? I don't know."

"yes"

Cheng En silently moved the mung bean cake over, and brought another bowl of mung bean soup.

Jin Ying raised her eyebrows: "The day your majesty and your majesty are free will be an auspicious day. If you two don't go, what is the purpose of our family building this temple? It's for the Buddha?"

"..."

"..."

Jin Ying took the second piece of mung bean cake and drank a bowl of mung bean soup: "Phew, it's really hot today. It's usually cool in the lanes, but now the sun is basking in the sun overhead, and there's not even a shadow."

Wan Zhen'er tore off the towel from the towel rack, ran it through the water, and wiped his sweat with it.

Jin Yinghu snorted the sweat on his face and neck: "Your Majesty will arrive in a quarter of an hour, what are you doing, Madam?"

"There's an old saying, when you're sleepy in spring and tired in autumn, you'll take a nap in summer, and your mother will take a nap."

Jin Ying grabbed Wan Zhen'er: "You are so strong, have you practiced martial arts yet?"

Wan Zhen'er was taken aback, not knowing whether to tell the truth, she said vaguely, "I just eat a lot."

Zhang Shouyi squinted his eyes, secretly felt that this was an opportunity, and said, "She has learned a little bit of boxing and embroidering her legs."

"That's it." Jin Ying pushed her out: "Practice boxing in the porch, let your majesty look at you, and have a good life for you. At that time, you will eat well and drink hot."

Wan Zhen'er struggled and asked, "What drink is spicy?"

"Wine!"

…………

Wen Si climbed over the wall and brought Zhang Shouyi big mutton buns and the braised pig's trotters he ordered, and then gave Wan Zhener four small buns.

Wan Zhen'er bit it down, only to feel the fresh fragrance bursting in her mouth, as gorgeous as the fireworks on the Lantern Festival night.

"Master, master, what is this? It's so delicious."

Zhang Shouyi silently glanced at the poor child, mutton buns with ham and dried scallops are really delicious, you don't have to be so ignorant.

He didn't know that the steamed stuffed bun that Wen Si gave his apprentice contained sea urchin yolk and eggs, seasoned only with a little salt, the freshness of the sea urchin was unmistakable.

Wen Si slumped in the chair lazily, with Erlang's legs crossed: "You are really lucky, all my apprentices are fed fat by me."

Wan Zhen'er pinched her own face: "Am I fat enough~ Your Majesty said I was too fat~ Asked me if I ate meat secretly."

Zhang Shouyi was surprised: "How did you answer?"

Wan Zhen'er said: "I follow what Master said. The fat monks in the temple eat steamed buns with rice rolled in big pancakes. I also eat like this."

Zhang Shouyi rolled his eyes at Wen Si, the honest and lovely little girl was taught to be glib by you.

Article [-]: "Ahem, it's been a good saying since ancient times, strict teachers produce excellent students, I must correct your mistakes."

Wan Zhen'er stood up nervously: "What is it?"

"It's flatbread rolls and steamed buns, just eat with rice! You can't roll the rice, it will fall apart."

Zhang Shouyi rolled his eyes silently, angry and funny.
