[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

Qiqige burst out laughing.

She hugged the flushed Baocheng into her arms, and said with a smile to Kangxi: "Is the emperor free today? Why don't you have dinner in the Compassionate Palace?"

Kangxi was stunned for a moment.

The last time we had a dinner together was... the last time.

For several years, Kangxi hardly stayed in the Compassionate Palace for meals except for the necessary festivals. At most, he came to say hello in the morning and evening. Thousands of words came to my mind but I didn't know how to say it.Kangxi didn't hesitate any longer, but chose to answer immediately: "Yes, my son will accompany you and Huang Mama to have dinner today."

Qiqige stretched her brows and eyes, revealing a little joy.

She happily turned her head and told Uzhina and Tana that one would go to the front yard to report the good news to the Empress Dowager, and the other would go to the imperial dining room to supervise the preparations.

Qiqige is still a little regretful: "It's a pity that I know it too late."

She stretched out her hand to poke Baocheng's stomach, and smiled softly: "Let's keep it simple, right? To prevent Baocheng's stomach from growling."

Kangxi and Baoqing snickered for a while.

As for Baocheng, his face was almost the color of a monkey's butt.

The grandparents and grandchildren laughed for a while, and then went to the front hall to greet the Empress Dowager.The Empress Dowager was already ready, and she waved to Baocheng and Baoqing with joy on her face. The two children threw themselves into the arms of the Empress Dowager, chatting about Kangxi's bullying.

Great-grandchildren are more important than grandchildren.

Since Baoqing and Baocheng became available, Kangxi's position in the heart of the Empress Dowager also regressed a lot.

Just like now.

The empress dowager embraced the two younger ones, and glared at the two older ones: "The emperor is already old, why is he still bullying children?"

Before Kangxi could refute, the Empress Dowager suddenly realized again.

She stared sideways at Qiqige: "I want you to say that the culprit is you."

Qiqige pointed to herself with a shocked expression.

She immediately disregarded the relationship with Kangxi: "The conscience of heaven and earth, Huang Erniang, the emperor was brought up by Huangerniang since he was a child!"

Kangxi: ...

The corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth twitched, and she grabbed Qiqige's ear angrily: "It's because the Ai family has no way to teach you, right? That's right! The Ai family shouldn't indulge you like this. From today on, you will follow the Ai family to have a good time." Chanting Buddhist scriptures, self-cultivation—"

Qiqige's head hurts just by hearing the words of the Buddhist scriptures.

She immediately put on a flattering expression, shaking her head like a rattle: "Don't, don't, don't, it's all my son's fault."

Even Qiqige knocked Kangxi a few times.

Under Kangxi's surprised and shocked eyes, Qiqige said straightforwardly: "Who told you not to learn well before? Huh?"

Kangxi: ...

Not to mention that Baocheng was amazed, even Baoqing opened his mouth wide and his face was full of shock.

Baocheng was the first to wake up.

He pinched Baoqing, and signaled Baoqing to look away quickly, so as not to be noticed by Khan Ama, who has a small belly.

It's a pity that Baoqing wailed.

He rubbed his little hands aggrievedly, pouted his mouth and was dissatisfied: "Baocheng, why are you pinching me? Brother, I am busy watching the fun!"

Baocheng: ...

Well, it's too late to do anything else.

Baocheng could already feel the cold eyes of Khan Ama.

He buried his head in Mama Ukuma's arms, and said coldly, "Shut up, you!"

Keep clear and discover problems with hindsight.

He turned around tremblingly, and then met Kangxi who had an exceptionally kind smile.

Inside the hall was a suffocating silence.

Baoqing looked like a little hedgehog whose fur had exploded, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Khan, Khan Ama!"

"I am here." Kangxi's smile was still so gentle.

It's just that his hands are intertwined and they make a clicking sound.

Baoqing was dripping with cold sweat.

Fortunately, there was an announcement from the palace people outside the door, and then a group of palace people came in with various bowls and cups.

The Empress Dowager coughed, "Sit down and have a meal?"

Kangxi clicked his tongue, and temporarily let the chick cub Baoqing go. Baoqing let out a long sigh of relief after Khan Ama took his seat, and diverted his attention away first.

Baocheng was hungry, and Baoqing was naturally not much better.

After Baoqing's eyes fell on the table, he couldn't leave at all.

The side dishes were served first.

Spicy and fresh shredded rattan pepper chicken, crispy and delicious hot and sour potato shreds, refreshing preserved egg mixed with tofu, soft and chewy tiger skin chicken feet, and a box of nine appetizing pickles.

Then came the seasonal crab dishes.

The palace cooks the most authentic steamed hairy crabs. When you open the crab cover, you can see the golden and rich crab roe. The fresh and salty taste blows your face. The snow-white and plump crab meat is extremely sweet. Juice, the flavor of the crab itself is magnified to the extreme.

It is the cold nature of crabs.

Whether it is the elderly Empress Dowager, or the young Baocheng and Baoqing, they can only eat one at most.After Kangxi and Qiqige finished eating one, they wanted another one, but it was a pity that they looked at the three pairs of longing eyes...

Qiqige withdrew her hand helplessly.

She couldn't let go of it, her salivating eyes slid over the tempting crab, and finally she had the heart to let the palace man withdraw.

In the end, relatively simple home-cooked dishes were served.

A plate of stir-fried asparagus, a plate of sliced ​​chicken, a plate of clove duck meat, a plate of braised meat, a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus scallops, and then a cup of meatball soup with shredded radish and a large cup of tofu and turbot fish soup.

One crab is not enough to fill your stomach.

Especially the energetic Baoqing, who looked at the dishes on the table with his index finger wide open, and couldn't wait to pick up a large piece of braised pork and put it in the bowl.

One bite of meat and one bite of rice.

The fat meat that melts in the mouth, the salty and delicious lean meat, and steaming white rice.

Baoqing took off half a bowl of rice after three mouthfuls.

His cheeks were bulging, like a squirrel that ate a lot of pine cones, Baoqing still didn't forget to pay attention to Baocheng: "Brother, eat it."

Compared with Baoqing's sloppy eating, Baocheng is much more reserved.Even though his stomach was growling and refusing to lag behind, Baocheng was still full of demeanor, eating slowly.

Kangxi looked at Baocheng with satisfaction.

After seeing Baoqing eating, his brows were tightly knit together, and there were two words in capital letters in his eyes: Dislike.

But before he could utter the words of criticism, Qiqige sensed Kangxi's thoughts.

She raised her eyelids and took a quick step, never giving Kangxi a chance to compare Baocheng with Baoqing.Qiqige picked up a piece of braised meat and put it in Baocheng's bowl, and at the same time praised Baoqing cheerfully: "Our Baoqing's appetite is really good! Baocheng also needs to eat more, so that he can grow healthy like your fourth brother." Be healthy and strong."

Baoqing held her head high and held her chest high, feeling elated.

Baocheng obediently agreed, and it was rare that he did not object or even agree with it.

In his previous life, he was good at both civil and martial arts, but his only regret was that he was slightly inferior to Yinti in martial arts.Maybe the reason is that he is not as strong as him... Seeing that Baoqing was still holding an empty bowl and asking for another bowl, Baocheng couldn't help speeding up the action of grilling the rice.

Qiqige wiped Baoqing's mouth, and said something along the way: "Eat too fast, be careful of choking, chew slowly."

Baoqing said hello.

He turned his head to look at the well-behaved Baocheng, and quickly slowed down his movements, looking at him and immediately seductive.

Qiqige nodded in satisfaction, and then gave Kangxi another look.

Kangxi rubbed his nose, honestly swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, and started to eat slowly while holding the bowl.

Qiqige is very satisfied with this.

She also picked up a piece of braised meat and put it in Kangxi's bowl as a reward.

Kangxi: ...

What else can I do?His own queen mother can only be pampered.He picked up the braised meat and rice, and put it in his mouth happily——well, it's delicious!

Since the middle of the 16th year of Kangxi, the frontline warfare has been very good.

Good News, Good News, Good News!As a result of successive good news, the capital lost the melancholy of the past and became cheerful again. The city gate bathhouse, which had been closed for a long time, reopened, and the shops were overcrowded.

The same is true in the palace.

Having not had a stable year for several years, Kangxi had told the queen that this year's New Year's banquet must be held lively.

The Queen agreed with a smile.

A big stone fell from her heart, and the good mood between her brows could not be concealed.As the queen revealed the news, the faces of the concubines were also filled with joy. Those who bought clothes and jewelry, those who prepared New Year's gifts, and those who lost weight, all of them worked hard to prepare for the new year's banquet. Compete with others.

Qiqige was humming a ditty, and she was in a good mood.

Frequent good news not only means that the San Francisco Rebellion is coming to an end, but also means that Prince Yu Fuquan, who has been on the battlefield for many years, can finally return to Beijing.

Qiqige was happy in her heart, and wanted to think about doing something?It didn't take long for her to think about it, and she quickly made up her mind.Qiqige sent people to call the queen, the daughters-in-law and Princess Gongyi, as well as the concubines and concubines, as well as Baoqing, Baocheng and Lingyi: "Let's make cakes together~!"

Pastry in later generations mainly refers to miscellaneous grain snacks made of sticky rice, such as corn pastry is the most famous one.Today, in the Qing Palace, noodles, dumplings, and steamed buns are collectively referred to as pasta. For example, Zisun Bobo refers to dumplings with half-baked chestnuts, peanuts, and red dates.

Handmade buns?

This was the first time for most people, the concubines of Fujin got together and thought about it with great interest.

Either way, the first step is to knead the dough.

Qiqige was busy kneading the dough, not forgetting to guide the three children in the operation.

From his previous life to this life, Baocheng kneaded dough for the first time.He frantically tossed and tossed the dough, and after a while his face was all white, and he still couldn't even knead it into a ball.

Baoqing was busy having sex.

He quickly rolled out a perfect ball, the kind of dough that is smooth and delicate without the slightest wrinkle.Baoqing raised the dough high: "Huang Mama, Huang Mama, look! My son is kneading out!"

Qiqige gave Baoqing a compliment: "It's great."

Then she looked at Baocheng who was still struggling with the dough, and cheerfully told Baoqing: "Go and teach Baocheng."

Baoqing was shocked.

He turned to look at his younger brother who was struggling, and was so happy that he almost took off on the spot.

Is my dream of being my younger brother's master about to come true now?Baoqing is like a little rabbit, bouncing towards Baocheng: "Brother, brother is here to teach you!"

Baocheng: "... I'm alone, I can, I can do it."

It's just dough, how could it be possible to stump yourself?

But things backfired, Dough still had trouble with Baocheng.

The front was dry powder that couldn't stick to it, and the back was a loose mass with too much water. Baocheng's arms seemed to be covered with a layer of paste armor, and it was difficult to separate his fingers.

Baoqing suppressed a smile.

The more anxious Baocheng was, he still couldn't succeed. In the end, he was so hot that his forehead was sweating.

Now Baoqing will definitely laugh at herself!

Baocheng was so depressed that he looked at Baoqing viciously - if this bastard dared to laugh at himself, he would be finished!

Baoqing joyfully holds Baocheng's hand.

He didn't laugh at Baocheng, but pulled him aside to wash his hands again, scrubbing off all the flour paste on his arms and palms, then wiped it clean, and finally applied a layer of oil.

"That's all."

"...Mmm." Baocheng agreed sullenly.He looked at Baoqing full of enthusiasm with miraculous eyes, and clearly realized that Baoqing and Yinti in front of him were different people.

It turns out that different experiences can make people change like this.

Baocheng's strange gaze made Baoqing feel uncomfortable and blushed.He proudly straightened his chest, and showed his big white teeth towards Baocheng: "Fourth brother knows that my younger brother must admire my elder brother, so feel free to talk about it if you have any questions!"

Baocheng: ...

But the place of narcissism is exactly the same.

Baocheng's cheeks bulged.

He looked at the mess on his small table, and at the decent dough in other people's hands.Baocheng's face turned slightly red, he coughed, and said in a low voice, "Teach me."

Baoqing didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Baocheng gave up on himself, closed his eyes and said loudly: "Teach Gu how to knead dough!"
