Chapter 41 Lie down and be shot
Qingzhu found a few yellow and dry vegetable leaves in the corner of the kitchen, removed the rotten parts, washed them and shred them, and began to prepare noodles.
She is not good at making pasta, and she doesn't know anything about noodles. These are all taught by Zhang Fang, and Qingzhu did it himself. They turned out all the Chen Mi Chen noodles in the royal palace, took away the rice worms inside, poured them into the basin, added some rough noodles, added overnight tea and stirred them. When the dough was moderately soft and hard, they rolled them into pancakes and finally cut them into thin strips.
Boil the soup noodles in water, add some salt, pour in the shredded vegetables, and finally make a poached egg.
When everything was finished, a bowl of hot, thick and moderate longevity noodles was baked.
After cleaning up the stove, Qingzhu said to Zhang Fang, "You and I must never mention what I have done, so that the prince will not be angry and you will suffer because of me."
With a full-sized soup noodles and fine lotus steps, it swayed until it entered the lilac garden.
Before I entered the study, I heard laughter inside. I thought it was already full of friends, and there were many people.
Pushing the door was shocked by the scene in front of him. Originally, the beautifully decorated, spacious and grand rooms were very crowded, with an endless stream of people like crucian carp crossing the river.
It turned out that today was the prince's "twentieth birthday". Early in the morning, the women in all rooms came to celebrate their birthday. Qin Zhengji had many concubines. At this moment, the whole room had been overcrowded.
When Lanfei saw Qingzhu's entry, she kept looking at her with strange eyes, which made her inexplicable and uneasy. Then Concubine Lan deliberately raised her voice and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you like the congratulatory gift from my concubine?"
With that, she pointed her jade finger at the tall screen standing beside her. Everyone stared at a tail peacock screen carved with gold, silver and jade beside the bed, giving people a beautiful feeling in the sunlight.
"My sister is really generous," Qingxue said extremely flatteringly. "Sister Lan is indeed from a famous family. She is unique and generous. It seems that my sister can only be envied."
"My sister is modest," Lanfei was quite useful after hearing this. She glanced at Qingxue and casually praised a few words, "Sister Qingxue's "Spring Night Picture of Qianshan" is not inferior. It is the handwriting of Liu Tianbai, a painter in Southern Qi. He is the painter that the prince admires most."
Liu Tianbai? There was a man in my mind who cherished his works very much and once spent 250 taels of silver to buy a pair of ink treasures. Unfortunately, the expensive fan was finally destroyed in his own hands. He, the text, is now well and cured. Where is he?
The thoughts covering the sky and the sun are like flooding and pouring down. In front of her was the figure of the handsome man in white, which was heartbreaking and heartbreaking.
"When it comes to the value, Sister Mei's five * silk cloak is more eye-catching. This dress is made of gold and silver silk thread, covered with purple fox fur that is hard to find for thousands of years, and the most cold-resistant and warm coat." Li Er, the waiter, was busy with the interface. Since that night, Mei Fei picked up some points and showed rain and dew again, Li'er, who turned out to be a maidservant, also became the royal palace. The idols in the hearts of the maids are eager to climb up the dragon bed and become masters like her one day.
Li Er is also a grateful master. At present, she has been under the hands of Meifei. She relies on a big tree to enjoy the cool. She must have a gang to support her wherever she goes, otherwise her life will be much more difficult. Concubine Lan is arrogant and domineering, and she has always looked down on servants from slaves. Her present behavior is a wise move.
Qingxue and Rong'er looked at each other. Although they are the legitimate and favored Lanfei's minions, Meifei is, after all the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo. The intertwined power relationship in the court is quite deep. Moreover, Meifei is low-key and restrained, and she has not taught any maid and maid to face, and they are not I'm willing to say something against it and I'm afraid of getting into trouble.
Concubine Ju is still two-sided, and her motto is to protect herself. "Sisters don't have to argue. You all have treasures. It's really overwhelming to celebrate the prince's birthday today, which opens Ju's eyes!"
Everyone didn't want to show too much in front of the prince, and nodded repeatedly.
Although they are all wonderful soft words, the gathering of mosquitoes into thunder made Qin Zheng's mind unsent. Recently, Japan has been brainbroking about the flood, but these women are still around to make a splash, so it's not annoying.
"Sister Qianfei has been here for a long time, why hasn't the prince offered her treasure on her birthday?" Thinking about Qin Zheng's mind, Concubine Lan's expression changed, and the corners of her mouth smiled faintly. "My sister is from a famous family, and it must be difficult for others to come to this treasure."
The women looked sideways and saw that Qingzhu had been standing quietly for a long time. As long as they led the prince's anger to others, they could sit on the mountain to watch the fire without injury.
Qingzhu was originally watching the competitive sports spirit that you compete with me, but she was still secretly laughing. Unexpectedly, Concubine Lan has successfully turned the topic to herself. She now lives in Lilac Garden, and her dowry is all detained in the bamboo garden. She is very difficult in her hands. How can she get extra money to buy things? These women are really bullying so much that they can be shot while lying down.
There is no need to say much. Qingzhu put the tray in his hand on the table and said, "The prince's birthday, the concubine is embarrassed. I can only express my heart with a bowl of longevity noodles. I wish the prince has today and years."
When the women put their feet on their feet, it turned out to be a bowl of extremely ordinary soup noodles. Moreover, the dishes on it were dark yellow. They thought it must be fresh vegetables. They were all waiting for the prince to scold her shabby gift.
Qin Zheng looked at this beautiful woman with deep intentions and was annoyed. In the past few days, the two of them had a small quarrel again. That night, when he heard about Qingzhu talking with his father in the garden, he knocked over the vinegar jar and ordered her to serve her diet for the next day. Qingzhu wanted to be lazy for a few days, but he was busy in the kitchen by his order. She was also angry. She turned around and left after delivering the midnight snack every day, never saying a word, so that the two had not said a word for half a month!
Today, the beloved woman cooked longevity noodles for herself and said blessings, and he was half angry at the moment. Maybe she has always been skilled in cooking, and Qin Zheng has been eating very smoothly recently. At present, he didn't even look at this bowl of soup noodles, so he took a bite.
As soon as he tasted the noodles, Qin Zheng was a little annoyed. This sour soup and thick noodles were really difficult to swallow.
Lian'er, the maid next to Qin Zheng, finally had to insert a sentence, "Qianfei, what material is your bowl of longevity noodles made of? Not to mention the rough noodles, there are also moldy cabbage leaves. This kind of food can only be used to feed dogs in the royal palace for fear that even servants will not eat it!"
"Puff!" Qingzhu couldn't stand it anymore, smiling and trembling, "Miss Lian'er can't be so bad. What do you mean by this? The prince has just tasted it. Do you mean that the prince is better than people and dogs?
Lian'er lost her words and hurriedly knelt down. She pulled his skirt with both hands and explained, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that. I'm just wronged you. The thousand concubines fooled the prince with this kind of dish is simply contempt for the royal majesty!"
"Get out!" Qin Zheng didn't look at the woman at his feet and gave orders with disgust. A self-made smart slave is simply a fool.
Lian'er went out crying and wiped her knees with tears. When she went out, she did not forget to shoot her hostile eyes at Qingzhu. She really wanted to be ten witch dolls and embroidered the woman's heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidney.
The room was suddenly silent, and the women looked at each other and whispered. They didn't dare to get out of the atmosphere, because they knew that the prince was already angry!
"Say, what on earth is this made of?" Qin Zheng opened his mouth angrily, and he knew that this woman would never give up because of her orders! He hasn't eaten such a bad food since he was born. Will she put shit and cat urine?
"Prince Shengming," Qingzhu was waiting for him to ask this question and couldn't wait to say, "This bowl of noodles is known as longevity noodles. It is a meal that ordinary people can only eat on their birthdays. The vegetables are withered vegetable leaves, and the noodles are rough noodles of the next year, but the people eat is particularly delicious. Because they rarely see such things in daily life. This year coincides with the disaster year, and the Mu River is overflowing and is not famous, but this Weiwei Palace is full of chicken, ducks, fish, singing and dancing. I would like to ask you sisters, when you are wearing silk, you have ever thought that someone is naked; when you are eating, drinking and having fun, you have ever thought that someone is not hungry. When you slept in a high bed and a soft pillow, you once thought that someone would sleep on the street. When you were playing with butterflies, you would have ever thought that someone would work and sell their skills.
Qingzhu has also heard a lot about the years of disaster in the Northern Qin Dynasty. Today, when he saw the extremely luxurious corruption of these women, he really wanted to slap each of them ten times to make them wake up and not indulge. The heavenly family did not know the suffering of the people, and those high-ranking ministers did not pay attention to the life and death of the masses. I hope her advice today can wake up the person in her dream.
Qin Zheng's angry face gradually softened, and his heart softened the most. The troubles of several days surged into his heart and suffered unspeakably. He clamped a few noodles and a few shreds of vegetables with silver chopsticks, tasted them carefully, and finally ate all the poached eggs. He told himself that this was the taste of bitterness.
Qin Zheng's thoughts and sadness shocked all the women next to him. They had never seen the prince's weak and helpless appearance, and the women dared not say more.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about such a thing. The people have their own blessings," a female voice in the crowd suddenly sounded, breaking the ripples of autumn water. Cangjing strolled gently, walked to Qin Zheng, pulled his big hand and said, "Let's go to the dog arena to see. Today is the prince's birthday. I have prepared a special thing for you!"
He couldn't help pulling him up. Although Qin Zheng was also very annoyed, he still went out with him with a loving face. When he passed by the little man who made him dream, he stopped uncontrollably and wanted to say anything. Finally, he threw down a sentence, "Qianfei remember that the royal brother and brother came to the house together at night. Zhong, don't forget to send some stewed supplements.
