Chapter 70 Why is there no little cotton jacket?
Since there was no one else in the room, and the entire table was filled with food and every dish was irresistible delicacy, Emperor Jingning and the Empress Dowager were completely immersed in the enjoyment of the food and ate it to the fullest.
When Emperor Jingning came to his senses, he found that most of the food on the table had been eaten by the mother and son.
No, to be exact, he ate most of it.
Emperor Jingning put down his chopsticks uncomfortably, feeling a little annoyed.
As the king of a country, how can you be so greedy for food and drink?
You still have to be reserved and not eat too fast.
He coughed softly, then pretended to be calm and picked up the cup to drink tea.
The Queen Mother knew her son's awkward personality very well. She also picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Emperor, this glutinous rice chicken tastes good, you try it."
The glutinous rice with the fragrance of lotus leaves has a unique flavor. It is wrapped with tender and chewy chicken, and is enhanced by ingredients such as mushrooms, dried shrimps, and scallops. The taste is rich and brings the ultimate enjoyment to the taste buds.
Emperor Jingning paused while drinking tea, and his eyes involuntarily moved to the glutinous rice chicken on the table.
The outer layer of lotus leaves that had been steamed until soft had been peeled off and spread out on the plate like petals, with the glutinous rice inside shiny and oily.
The unique fragrance of lotus leaves, glutinous rice and the aroma of various fillings are mixed together, exuding freshness and is very tempting.
Emperor Jingning cooperated very well and raised his chopsticks towards the plate of glutinous rice and chicken.
"Since the Queen Mother says it tastes good, I will try it."
He picked up a piece of glutinous rice and slowly put it into his mouth.
The fillings wrapped in the glutinous rice are very rich, in addition to chicken and mushrooms, there are also dried shrimps and scallops.
The outer layer of glutinous rice is soft and chewy, with a faint fragrance of lotus leaves.
After steaming, the flavor of the filling has completely penetrated into the glutinous rice, and the unique fragrance of glutinous rice is also integrated into the filling.
Chew gently, and the stickiness of the glutinous rice, the tenderness of the chicken, the mellow sweetness of the mushrooms, and the freshness of the dried shrimps and scallops will seep into the tip of your tongue little by little, interweaving with the fragrance of the lotus leaves, leaving a long aftertaste.
Before he knew it, Emperor Jingning had eaten most of the glutinous rice chicken.
He took a sip of tea and couldn't help but praise: "Shen Zhaonian's daughter is really extraordinary. They are all ordinary ingredients, but after passing through her hands, they are all turned into delicious dishes."
The Queen Mother also nodded: "The girl from the Shen family is indeed a superb cook and often has ingenuity. The snacks she brought when she came to the palace to express her gratitude last time were also very delicious."
The last time Shen Huazheng and others went to the palace to express their gratitude, they brought egg yolk pastries and cakes to the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager liked it so much that she sent some to Emperor Jingning.
As she spoke, the Queen Mother suddenly thought of Shen Huazheng’s previous engagement with Ye Linghuai, and sighed again: “That child, the blessing is still to come.”
The Ye family doesn't know the value of things and they are not blessed.
I don’t know which boy will be worthy of that girl in the future.
Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Emperor Jingning also remembered the taste of cake and egg yolk pastry, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
I heard that Shen Zhaonian liked to bring the meals made by Shen Huazheng to the Ministry of Revenue, and every time he ate, he would make others very greedy.
Many officials envied Shen Zhaonian for being able to eat such delicious meals every day, and were even more envious of him for having such a filial and skillful little girl.
Emperor Jingning picked up another piece of chicken, put it in his mouth, and chewed it hard.
The queen and her concubines all gave birth to sons, and there was not a single princess in the palace.
Not to mention a filial and dexterous little cotton jacket, an ordinary little cotton jacket will do.
As the ruler of Daliang, he was outshined by his subjects. How infuriating! !
The more Emperor Jingning thought about it, the angrier he became. His anger and grief immediately turned into appetite, and he ate up all the remaining food on the table.
The Queen Mother opposite: ...
Does her son have such a good appetite?
After eating and drinking, Emperor Jingning looked at the Empress Dowager.
"Mother, if you want me to come over to dine with you in the future, just ask Aunt Fang to come."
Queen Mother: ???
He had just finished this meal and he was already thinking about future meals?
"The Queen Mother understands. The Emperor can go back and do your work."
Emperor Jingning got a satisfactory answer, then he slowly stood up, took his leave.
