The treasure in the palm of the Red Chamber

Kangxi's slight jealousy towards Concubine Yi was obviously very useful, he walked in with a smile, first let Concubine Yi and the others sit down without courtesy, and then said with a smile: "This is a misunderstanding! I have nothing to do today, so I will go Ningshou Palace sat for a while, but after a while, Xiao Jiu came over with a plate to eat, saying that it was sent by Concubine Liang. She tasted it, and it tasted very good, soft and smooth, very suitable for the Queen Mother's teeth. I As soon as I heard it, I became interested. After I tasted it, it tasted really good. When I wanted to eat it again, I was kicked out by the Queen Mother. Eat, go find Concubine Liang by yourself!"

Speaking of this, everyone burst into laughter, Concubine Yi laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, "It is said that old children are old children, and the older they get, the more they become children. The queen mother actually kicked the emperor out just to order food. What a shame!" Sister Liang, do you still have this egg tart, hurry up and bring more, to soothe our emperor's wounded heart!"

Concubine Yi's words were a little bold, but she had been with Kangxi for a long time, and knew that Kangxi was in a good mood, so she said it boldly, and the smile in Kangxi's eyes was even stronger.

Concubine Liang hurriedly looked at Xue Baochai, and seeing Xue Baochai nodded without a trace, she hurriedly said with a smile: "There is enough, there is enough! Bao girl, hurry up and bring some more."

Xue Baochai lowered her head and said yes, then retreated.

After seeing Xue Baochai go down, Kangxi suddenly asked, "Is she the maid who made Yinhu slap Guo Luoluo?"

Concubine Liang stood up abruptly, her palm-sized face was full of panic, "Your Majesty, that's not the case, girl Bao"

Concubine Yi looked at Kangxi's face, knew that he was not angry, she stood up with a smile, and sat down Liang Concubine, "Sister, what's the hurry, the emperor just asked casually, there is no other meaning, is it the emperor? "

Kangxi smiled without saying a word, just drinking tea with his head down.

Concubine Liang was relieved now, and answered carefully: "Going back to the emperor, it's her, but Yinhu told me what happened that day, no matter what happened to Bao girl, it's just that the fire at the city gate caused the fish in the pond. Bao girl went from head to toe He didn't say the last word, Mingna Guo Luoluo rushed up and yelled at Yinhu, it has nothing to do with Bao girl!"

Concubine De had a very good impression of Xue Baochai, and said with a smile at this time: "The concubine just said it, the concubine was confused about what happened that day, but when I saw it today, the concubine was still a little confused! This treasure girl It doesn't look like the kind of troublemaker!"

At this moment, Xue Baochai opened the curtain and walked in, bowed his head respectfully and handed the tray in his hand to Li Dequan who was standing beside Kangxi, Li Dequan took it and put it on the table, and then a little eunuch stepped forward Go, first pricked each egg tart with a silver needle, then took another one and tasted it. After a while, there was no abnormal reaction, so I nodded to Li Dequan and backed away.

Li Dequan just picked up an egg tart and placed it in front of Kangxi.

Concubine De and the others are used to seeing it, and Kangxi usually uses things like this in their palace, so I don't think there is anything unusual.On the contrary, Xue Baochai was seeing her for the first time, so she had a feeling that it was so.Xue Baochai stared intently at the little eunuch's movements, and suddenly something disturbed her heart.No wonder everyone said that the emperor was a loner. If nothing else, with this eating posture, all delicacies from mountains and seas would be tasteless in the mouth. It's a pity for my egg tarts!

Perhaps the pity in Xue Baochai's eyes was so obvious that even Kangxi could see it, and he asked abruptly, "What are you thinking?"

Xue Baochai was caught off guard, and subconsciously said what was in her heart. As soon as the words were spoken, Xue Baochai realized that something was wrong, and immediately knelt on the ground, "I will die!"

Concubine Liang looked at Xue Baochai worriedly, thinking that this precious girl is usually very smart, why is she so reckless today, she quickly stood up and knelt beside Xue Baochai, "The concubine is not strict with her orders, the emperor forgives her sins."

Kangxi smiled and asked, "Do you like cooking?"

Xue Baochai was stunned, and nodded instinctively. In the lonely and long years of her previous life, the only thing that supported her was the satisfaction and happiness on the faces of the diners when they ate the delicious food she made with her own hands!That's why she chose this life in this life.

Concubine De took a look at Kangxi, and boldly asked: "How does the emperor know?"

Kangxi smiled and pointed to Xue Baochai and said, "That girl didn't blink her eyes when she saw them taking the drug test. When I ate this egg tart, she looked regretful again. I knew that she must love the kitchen very much." thing."

Xue Baochai's heart was only half down at this time. After all, what she just said just now is not an exaggeration to implicate the Nine Clans, but the remaining half has to be done by herself. Elder brother takes care of it!

"Your majesty is holy! This servant has liked these things since she was a child, but her parents didn't allow it, and this servant can't disobey her parents' good intentions. It wasn't until entering the palace, after the master was promoted, that she had her own small kitchen, that she could use her skills. Land. The servant girl thought, the so-called delicious food should be full of color, fragrance and taste, and both are indispensable. Among them, the taste, time and heat are very particular. Some dishes are suitable for eating while hot, and some dishes are suitable for eating cold. Thinking that eating it while it’s hot can only taste its fragrance and deliciousness, so this servant is bold for a moment! Please forgive me, the emperor!”

Kangxi smiled and raised his hand, signaling Concubine Liang to get up first. Concubine Liang glanced at Xue Baochai worriedly, stood up, and sat down again.

"You gave this egg tart to every palace, but you didn't give it to Qianqing Palace and Yuqing Palace. Is it also because of this reason?"

Xue Baochai was stunned. She didn't know what the purpose of Kangxi's question was, but she was not good at guessing people's hearts, and her relationship with her grandfather in her previous life also told her that in such uncertain situations, all she could do was answer truthfully.So Xue Baochai replied honestly: "If you go back to the emperor, this is the first time this servant girl made this egg tart today. It just so happened that the concubine Yi and the concubine Defei came to visit, so the servant girl wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and show it for our master." I also thought that the ladies are all mothers. If there are delicious food, I must miss you guys. After discussing with the sisters around the lady, I sent some to my elder brother. Later, I thought that since ancient times, no Weaknesses are uneven, slaves can't make it difficult for their masters, so they made more, and the other elder brothers sent a copy. There are still a lot of egg tarts left, and slaves thought it would be better to do more favors for the master Let's send some to Ningshou Palace, Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong, Concubine Tong, and the biological mothers of several elder brothers. As for Qianqing Palace and Yuqing Palace, this is a big matter, and slaves dare not act without permission. Special, I thought about discussing with the master later and then deciding whether to send it or not."

After hearing this, Kangxi laughed loudly, "You are a clever girl! No wonder Concubine Liang is so reluctant to part with you."

Xue Baochai blinked, what does the emperor mean by this, is it passed or not?Seeing this, Concubine Yi and Concubine De laughed, Concubine Liang saw that Kangxi was not angry, and said angrily, "You silly girl, why don't you thank Lord Long Live!"

Xue Baochai was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you Long Live, slave!"

Kangxi also felt that the egg tart was really not that delicious after it was in his mouth, but the drug test was an ancestor's rule, and it was a matter of great importance, so he couldn't say anything at the moment.Concubine Liang guessed something from Kangxi's face, thought for a while, and boldly said: "If Lord Long Live wants to eat, why not let Bao girl go to Qianqing Palace to make another portion for you in person!"

Kangxi glanced at Concubine Liang, it was feasible.The Qianqing Palace is his place, and all the supplies are guarded by special personnel, and Li Dequan is watching from the side, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

"That's a good idea, what do you think?"

Xue Baochai really wanted to say no, but she didn't have the guts to say, "I obeyed the order, but I just told the Lord Long Live that the oven must be used to make egg tarts, where is the Qianqing Palace?"

Li Dequan immediately bowed his waist and said, "Slave, let the craftsman make one."

Xue Baochai kindly reminded: "Eunuch Li, you can ask someone to go to the elder brother's place to find the eighth or ninth elder brother. This oven was made by the craftsman they hired to help their slaves."

"Thank you Miss Xue for your guidance." Li Dequan nodded and said.

Xue Baochai was taken aback, she couldn't bear it, Li Dequan, how many golden supporting roles in the novel!The confidant of Kangxi's confidant!

In this way, the matter of making egg tarts was delayed. Fortunately, Kangxi left before sitting down for a while.Seeing Kangxi stepping out of the gate of Chuxiu Palace, Xue Baochai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But I heard Concubine Yi burst out laughing, "Look at how pitiful you are! No matter how many people are looking forward to this opportunity, they can't, you are lucky!"

Xue Baochai heard that these words were talking about herself, and looked at Concubine Yi blankly, not understanding what Concubine Yi meant!

Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister, don't make fun of her, you can see that she is not that kind of person when you look at her like this! Blessed be the sister of Concubine Liang after all!"

Concubine Liang also laughed, no matter what the purpose of Kangxi asking Bao girl to go to Qianqing Palace to make egg tarts, but Bao girl mentioned Yinhu in her words, so it can be regarded as a good word for Yinhu from Kangxi, the key is that she said good things It's just right, Concubine Liang is very happy now!

"My sisters don't know that Bao girl is a filial person. Her father died early, leaving only their orphans and widows, and her brother is not up to date. Although it has improved a bit now. But after all, today is not as good as it used to be, and the family is getting better and better. Wei, girl Bao couldn't bear the loss of her ancestors' foundation, so she offered to enter the palace to be a maid, and she only hoped to serve her master well, so that she could support the family!"

Concubine Yi smiled and waved to Xue Baochai, "If you want to support the family, there is not only one way to serve your master! There is also a more convenient way, why don't you choose that one?"

Xue Baochai blinked, Concubine Yi said this well, she noticed the difference in IQ between her and these concubines at this time, even the good concubine she thought was kind looked at her like Concubine Yi and Concubine De She, Xue Baochai deeply felt that she was not as good as she was!

So she told the truth, "Go back to your mother, this slave is only 13 years old."
