Seeing her sticking out her tongue to act cute, Nanchun didn't say anything.
Manxia is reckless, but she is also genuine, simple-minded, and loyal, which is why she can stay with Bai Susu.
inside the house
The silver charcoal had been burning continuously since the beginning of winter, keeping the room warm without a trace of smoke.
Bai Susu was wearing only a single piece of clothing, half leaning on the couch reading a book.
Hearing Nanchun scolding Manxia outside, he raised his voice and said, "Nanchun..."
Nanchun came in quickly and asked, "Master?"
Bai Susu put the book down, stroked the blanket on her body, and said, "Let the eunuchs outside rest, and go to the tea room to make some ginger tea to ward off the cold. The snow won't stop for a while, so don't stay outside all the time. It would be bad if you get frozen."
Nanchun smiled and responded: "Master, you are kind-hearted. I understand."
Although the eunuchs outside have a hard life, they are very lucky to have a master as compassionate as the imperial concubine.
At noon, Debao from the kitchen brought another large pile of ingredients - the imperial concubine was interested in making dumplings, so of course she couldn't be neglected.
It is said that Deng Sanguan and Debao's status has risen since they expressed their loyalty to Bai Susu.
Now that the Queen is pregnant with the dragon fetus again, although Emperor Xuan Jing once asked whether he should find a chef for Bai Susu, Bai Susu declined on the grounds that she was used to eating Deng Sanguan's dishes.
Now Deng Sanguan became the number one in the kitchen. Sun Yishao hated him to the core, but he couldn't flatter him enough.
This is how the world is. Being a slave in the palace is not respectable at all. It all depends on whose stove you burn.
Therefore, the ingredients sent by Debao were all carefully selected and extremely fresh. If they were not fresh, they would not dare to send them to the imperial concubine.
There is no shortage of meat these days. Beef, mutton, pork, chicken, and duck are all common, but fresh and tender vegetables are hard to come by. Thanks to the greenhouse, they are always supplied with tender green bamboo shoots and bright spinach and rapeseed with water droplets on them.
There are even various lively freshwater and seafood products.
Bai Susu looked at the ingredients and came up with several fillings. Although she didn't know how to cook, she knew how to eat.
In addition, Debao was clever and made several suggestions based on the imperial concubine's taste.
Now I wanted to eat even more fillings, and in the end I made seven or eight kinds of fillings.
Of course, Bai Susu was not needed for either cutting vegetables or kneading dough, she just watched.
Finally, two shrimp, meat and mushroom dumplings were pinched as a symbolic gesture - to be left for Emperor Xuan Jing to eat, if he wanted to.
The Chinese New Year naturally has a Chinese New Year atmosphere. The palace maids and eunuchs in Yeonbok Palace all wear new clothes. Some young palace maids even wear red ropes or red velvet flowers on their heads, which is very festive.
Bai Susu was also happy to see this, remembering that in modern times, during the Chinese New Year, the whole family would send red envelopes in the WeChat group. They didn't care about the amount of money, but just wanted to have fun. So she felt like playing and asked Nanchun to find a lot of silver and gold nuggets.
Wash them and wrap them in dumplings, put one or two in at will, whoever eats it out in the end gets the reward.
Everyone was even more motivated. In the end, they happily ate dumplings and received rewards, which made them particularly happy.
The dumplings in the palace were exquisite and cute, each one looked like a small ingot. Bai Susu tasted one of each filling to show her satisfaction.
The servants in Yeonbok Palace also ate with relish, but since it depended on luck, there were definitely some lucky ones - they would get golden nuggets as soon as they ate.
Of course, there are also those who are unlucky - they don’t taste anything.
But later, Bai Susu gave everyone a big red envelope, which temporarily soothed their wounded hearts.
Even though the New Year was spent happily, Bai Susu dressed up even more beautifully for the banquet in the evening. She put on makeup and even had flowers on her forehead.
When Emperor Xuan Jing came to pick her up in the evening, he was dazed. Su Su was the most beautiful woman in the harem, but today she looked even more charming, like a peach blossom that had become a spirit.
Bai Susu fed Emperor Xuan Jing a dumpling with her own hands. Emperor Xuan Jing looked at Bai Susu's rosy and glowing face under the candlelight, and his mouth felt like chewing wax. He could not taste the dumpling at all.
Bai Susu felt a little nervous when she saw him like that, and said in a delicate voice, "Your Majesty, please taste it carefully."
Emperor Xuan Jing then chewed the food slowly, and slowly he noticed something strange. He spit it out and saw a small golden ingot.
Bai Susu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very lucky."
In fact, it is put in every dumpling made by Bai Susu.
But Emperor Xuan Jing didn't know this, and he was quite happy about it, and asked who came up with this idea.
After the palace maids smiled and said it was the Queen, they pinched Bai Susu's nose and praised her.
-
After eating dumplings, the emperor took Bai Susu to the banquet. Nanchun and her family wrapped Bai Susu tightly and stuffed a small hand warmer filled with charcoal into Bai Susu's sleeve.
Even though the snow had cleared that day, no one dared to use the sedan chair. Several eunuchs held lanterns in front to clear the way.
Emperor Xuan Jing held Bai Susu in his arms and walked slowly. Fortunately, he had a strong sexual energy and his arms were very warm, so Bai Susu didn't feel cold at all.
Pregnant women naturally cannot walk too fast, so as expected, the two of them were the last to arrive.
The concubines in the palace had been waiting early, but who knew that the emperor was so late? When they asked, they found out that he had gone to pick up the imperial concubine.
But no one dared to object. There was no queen in the palace, so the imperial concubine was the most respected in the harem.
I asked you to wait for the emperor and the imperial concubine, and you still dare to object?
When Emperor Xuan Jing and Bai Susu arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, everyone had to stand up and salute them.
Concubine Hui watched from below as Emperor Xuan Jing brought Bai Susu directly to the upper seat and personally took off Bai Susu's cloak. She felt so jealous that it reached her throat.
As soon as Bai Susu came in, the concubines glanced at her vaguely.
Looking at her face as bright as the moon, everyone was captivated by her dazzling beauty, but the most eye-catching thing was her bulging belly, which contained the precious dragon fetus.
As soon as the emperor arrived today, he brought the imperial concubine to the top of the table and the two of them sat together. This was a treatment that the empress had never received before.
Everyone was in a daze. Seeing how much the emperor doted on the imperial concubine, if she gave birth to a prince, she might be promoted to the throne of queen.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel discouraged. The fighting spirit I had always had faded a little, and the colorful clothes on my body also became dull.
No matter how gorgeous you are, compared to the imperial concubine's beauty, you are still humble.
Not to mention she's pregnant with a dragon fetus, how can you compare? What can you compare with?
But there are always those who are unwilling to be lonely and full of fighting spirit, such as Concubine Hui. She gritted her teeth and smiled sweetly, then stood up, holding a cup of wine and said, "Your Majesty is late. Please drink this cup of wine from me, otherwise I will not comply."
No matter how many times she heard it, Bai Susu would get goose bumps every time she heard Concubine Hui's tender voice in front of Emperor Xuan Jing.
She looked at Emperor Xuan Jing's expression and found it to be normal. She thought he was used to it.
Concubine Hui organized the banquet very well, and Emperor Xuan Jing was happy to give her face, so he picked up the wine and started drinking.
Bai Susu secretly curled her lips. She didn't know why her possessiveness was so strong in front of Concubine Hui.
Anyway, she hated Concubine Hui. She felt disgusted when she saw Emperor Xuan Jing talking to her.
