Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

There is a dish on the table called Hongxiangluyu, which is a medicinal meal.Wrapped with patchouli leaves and deep-fried, it is not burnt, served with rose sauce.

There are also meat dishes such as steamed pork with lotus leaf powder, simmered winter melon, stuffed duck, and vegetarian dishes such as cucumber, five-spice gluten, and sliced ​​melon in vinegar. There is also a fragrant porridge and several kinds of steamed buns.

Winter melon is stewed very well. The method is different from that in the palace. The way in the palace is to cut the winter melon into pieces and simmer ham or ribs, but here is to cut off one end of the winter melon, hollow out the melon seeds, and fill it with various meats. Then dig a hole in the ground, put the wax gourd in it vertically, and roast it over a charcoal fire, similar to the method of beggar chicken.From the meat inside to the winter melon outside, they are all delicious.

Taoist priests can eat meat and meat, but they do not eat four kinds of meat, beef, mullet, swan goose, and dog meat, because they represent loyalty, filial piety and righteousness.

Zhu Jianshen said: "Fortunately, the father fell ill, and the son is very worried."

Zhu Jianji nodded calmly: "That's right, I was the same at that time."

Zhu Jianshen touched his nose in embarrassment, and saw that his younger brother was wearing a plain white Taoist robe, and there was no hidden embroidery on it. It was really a simple dress with a wide robe and large sleeves, and a black gauze crown on his head , the golden cloud head hairpin is tied with the heart of a cow, the face is like a silver plate, smooth and round, and the eyes are downcast.He was sitting in front of the dining table, with his hands lightly resting on his knees, and a snow-white and warm fox jade pendant was hung on his waist.

"Jianji, you, you are so dedicated to Taoism, will you become a Taoist monk in the future?"

Zhu Jianji nodded: "That's right, this mortal world is meaningless." The robe was loose and loose, in order to contain the universe and separate the mortal world.Also take a straight collar to show casualness.

"Qianjiao Kunchang, Kunsuo Qiancheng. Different names come from the same root. The inside and outside are virtual and real, and the rigidity and softness are balanced. The yin and yang are the same, and the changes are fractal. What Sanfeng Zhenren said is very reasonable. If the brother is free It's okay, listen to me, how about it?"

Wan Zhen'er was so hungry that she stretched out her hand silently, picked up a piece of duck meat, and put it into her mouth silently, chewing lightly without making any sound.Another piece of steamed meat with lotus leaf powder was sandwiched, and the whole process of eating was silent. The feeling of the fat melting in the mouth was really wonderful!

Zhu Jian gave her a deep look, you bullied Jianji and couldn't see it!I'm so hungry!Nodding happily: "It's wonderful, listen to the Taoist scriptures, and make up your mind. Don't just talk, eat something."

Zhu Jianji waved his hand, a little proudly: "No need, I'm learning how to obey Bigu, I can go without food for a day or two, and I'm still light and full of energy."

Zhu Jianshen was hungry a long time ago. He ate a lot of snacks while shopping. It’s true, but the snacks and desserts are not enough to fill you up. The dishes in front of you are better: “When you preach, I eat something, it’s not bad. Are you respectful?" Wait, you are fasting?How can Bigu be so fat?

"Eat what you want, don't be hungry." Zhu Jianji reached out and groped on the table, and found the plate in front of him: "Give me a piece of wax gourd."

Wan Zhen'er stood up and added a piece of wax gourd soaked in gravy and meat flavor to him, carefully cut it into small pieces with chopsticks, and handed the chopsticks to him: "King Ying, please."

When Zhu Jianji grabbed the chopsticks, he also grabbed her hand, and Zhu Jianshen raised his eyebrows.

Zhu Jianji asked: "Do you practice martial arts?" I can feel that your Qi is stronger and sharper than others.

Zhu Jianshen stretched out his hand and patted his brother's hand away: "Call me sister-in-law. Don't touch me."

Zhu Jianji said in surprise: "Wow? Really? Or her?"

"It's her, it's her."

Wan Zhen'er walked back quietly and continued to eat like a lady. It was obvious that the prince had told him that he wanted to marry him, and King Tan thought that the prince had changed his plan.

The two brothers ate and drank until they were full, and changed to a clean room. The Taoist priest offered green tea and fruits again, and Zhu Jianji began to talk about economics and Taoism.

Zhu Jianshen had read these books, but he only read them once, without asking for a deep understanding, and the teachers didn't talk about these things.He braced himself up, tried not to doze off, and looked at the dozing Sister Wan to refresh himself, watching her drool when she was dozing off, it was so funny and cute.

Zhu Jianji has been hesitant to speak all the time. He wants to tell his brother that he knows a fox fairy, and when he formally forms the alchemy and enters the Dao of cultivation, he will leave the capital with her to practice in the mountains. Liezi, you can also meet Zhang Zhenren who lives in seclusion in Wudang Mountain.But it's hard to say that, although my brother is close... But sister fox doesn't believe him, and I'm not sure, if one day I leave without saying goodbye, will you be sad?

The fox jade pendant on his waist is the changed figure of Hu Shisanniang. After the emperor fell ill, she couldn't eat it anymore. She wanted to go back to the mountains to practice, but she couldn't bear this little cutie.When Xiaocute went to listen to the Taoist lecture, she was afraid that the Taoist's half-knowledge of practice would mislead her disciples, so she turned into a jade pendant and went to criticize her. Later, she found that the Taoist's lecture was not bad, and she also gained a little from listening, and she had more excuses Do not leave the world.

The courtyard is deep and deep, with willows piled with smoke, and the curtains are countless.

In the evening, the two brothers said goodbye and went home separately.Zhu Jianji went back to the mansion to pay his respects to Concubine Wang, and Zhu Jianshen went back to pay his respects to his father.

Zhu Qizhen: "Are there any rumors outside?"

"I don't know, I met brother Jianji in Baiyun Temple. Now he is devoted to Taoism, and seems to have plans to become a monk."

Zhu Qizhen smiled imperceptibly: "Let him go."

Talking inside, chatting outside.

Cheng En has already changed into the eunuch's clothes, and the waist buckle has also been replaced with gold ones, looking handsome: "Sister Wan, come and talk."

Wan Zhen'er walked over: "Brother Cheng En, how are you these days? I haven't seen you for a few days, what did you do?"

Cheng En's face was a little melancholy: "My daughter-in-law died of illness, leaving me with two children, hey, it's difficult."

Wan Zhen'er knew that what he said was not true, his wife was originally a grand maid in the palace, and the two often served the queen mother together, and they had a secret love for a long time, so they borrowed food from each other.Cheng En slowly saved money, bought a house and land outside, thinking that the built house can only be lived for twelve days a year, which is really a pity, so he tried to get the food court lady out of the palace and live in the house , and bought a baby boy and a baby girl from a family with the same surname.

It was all good at first, but later I heard that his daughter-in-law couldn't bear the loneliness and got married with a hundred households of Jin Yiwei. Then she was reported to Cheng En by her colleagues, and Cheng En went out of the palace for a while, and sure enough, his wife died of illness.

Wan Zhen'er pretended not to know about it, and asked without changing expression: "When is brother Cheng En going to take over as a wife? Don't forget to invite me to a wedding wine."

Cheng En's face flushed slightly: "Maybe, I recently fell in love with an oiran, and she is really good, but her status makes me difficult. You said that an oiran, who has seen all the men in the world, will not be as urgent as her." Stay out of the wall?"

Wan Zhen'er spread her hands: "How do I know?"

Cheng En smiled slightly: "That's right, that's right, I'm asking you what you're doing. Well, you're going to have a happy event in the Eastern Palace."

"Oh?"

"The Empress Dowager proposed to choose a concubine for the crown prince. Now Wu, Wang and others have been selected, and the selection is still ongoing. The future crown prince will be among these people in the future."

In the emperor's bedroom, Zhu Jianshen was shocked and knelt down after hearing this: "Father, I don't want to marry someone else. I want to make sister Wan my queen. Please give permission."

Zhu Qi sat up angrily: "Nonsense, how much older is she than you? Being your mother is enough!"

Zhu Jian Shen Ning raised his head unbendingly: "Father, Empress Liu and Empress Fan are old enough to be your mother and concubine!"

They are 13 years older than you!

The two together make you 26 years older!

Zhu Qizhen was choked up: "Hugh is so forceful! I chose for you Shuyuan from a famous family, a vulgar servant girl from the Wan family."

Zhu Jianshen interrupted him: "Sister Wan knows how to read and write. She taught me to read since I was a child, and now I don't get tired of reading every day!"

Zhu Qizhen scolded angrily: "How dare you talk back! I will order her to be shot now!"

Zhu Jian was so annoyed that he could not speak, he stood up with his fists clenched, and said, "Then I will make her a queen and bury her in the mausoleum in advance, waiting to be buried with the lonely. , Concubine Liu Jing, Concubine Fan Shun, Concubine Wang Hui, Concubine Wang Xian, Concubine Yang An, Concubine Gao Shu, Concubine Wei De, Concubine Liu Li, and others will also be buried for you! Father, you have been warned by the thunder of heaven, do yourself more good deeds, and don’t do unkind things.”

Pooh!No wonder!If you dare to kill Sister Wan, I will fight with you!I also want to make a change of seizing the door!Father, I am not familiar with you!Concubine Zhou gave birth to me, and the Queen Mother and Sister Wan raised me. What have you done?Everyone is like a stranger, you dare to kill my sister Wan?

Zhu Qizhen never thought he would be so stupid, the honest prince dared to say such a thing.

He only felt that his temples were so painful that they were about to explode, his eyes turned black, and his chest felt as if there was a puffer fish stuck inside.

Furious, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

Li Degui watched dumbfounded, seeing the prince coldly sweeping over, he quickly knelt down and said, "For some reason, the emperor suddenly vomited blood and passed out."

Zhu Jianshen was terribly frightened, his face was pale, his hands and feet were numb, his little heart was shaking wildly, and he could hardly hear what he was saying clearly.

The historian who wrote the notes on daily life next to him was also stunned, and moved back again, trying to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, and wrote in a swish.

Zhu Jianshen didn't pay attention to him, turned around and left, Empress Dowager Sun and Empress Qian had already returned to the palace to rest, only a few terrified and tearful concubines screamed and dispersed.

He grabbed Wan Zhen'er: "Go, go back to the palace."

Wan Zhen'er found that his hands were cold and wet, her face was terrified, and followed him away.
