There are handmade wooden carved ducks, wooden carved pen holders, and small wooden horses.
There are small and large fish swimming around in small containers.
There were some accessories that Simuqiao took out, such as bracelets, earrings, hairpins, etc.
There were square wooden blocks with one tael of silver, ten taels of silver, and fifty copper coins written on them.
There are brushes, toothbrush sets, inkstones and small nine-ring sets.
There are fruits such as watermelon, longan, grapes, etc.
She also asked Shu Xue and others to make beautifully packaged handmade candies, snacks, and sour plum powder.
All in all, there is a wide variety for you to choose from.
Moreover, this game still has rules!
Each person can get three laps for free!
If you want to use it again after three, you have to pay!
I have to say, Si Muqiao is also a money-grubber!
When facing the Empress Dowager and others, he even openly proposed to charge for playing games!
It simply shocked everyone present.
However, the Empress Dowager didn't mind.
Just play!
Just for fun!
It's normal to add some color to it.
You can buy ten circles with one tael of silver!
Five taels of silver for fifty circles, enough to play for half a day!
It’s so much fun playing ring toss!
In other words, it was just five taels of silver that he used to give to his servants and was completely worthless.
When I got here, I was so happy!
Is it cost-effective?
This is such a great deal!
Shop, buy, buy, and have fun!
After the Empress Dowager tried throwing three circles, she ordered Aunt Lan to buy fifty for her on the spot.
Then he stood there and gave ten to Hawthorne and ten to the seventh prince.
Ten Li Zhaoyi and ten Hao Meiren!
Keep the remaining ten for yourself!
After dividing the circles, they started to set them one by one!
This is so much fun!
“Missed again!”
"Eh? I got it, I got it. The little wooden horse is mine."
"I'm going to try the closest one!"
"Hey, hey, I got the box of snacks. Can I eat it now?"
“…”
During this period, the person who got the most things was actually Hawthorne!
He hit eight out of ten circles!
MVP of the game!
When Murong Che, who couldn't resist his curiosity and played billiards for a while, came over and said he wanted to join...
Then I heard Si Muqiao say with a look of regret.
"Oh, sorry, Lord Che."
"The ring toss game just ended, and we're ready to move on to the next one."
Murong Che felt that he was being targeted again: "..."
Ah, it’s so annoying!
After the simple warm-up game, Si Muqiao asked everyone to sit down in the house and rest.
It is summer after all, and even if you play games indoors, there is an ice basin.
But when you move, it's still hot.
She asked people to bring iced lychees, watermelons, herbal tea, mung bean paste and other things to help everyone cool down.
Of course, health-preserving warm tea and homemade milk tea are also essential.
In addition, various dim sum and snacks were also served.
Egg yolk cakes, peach blossom cakes, mung bean cakes, Ruyi cakes, small steamed buns, various candied fruits, melon seeds...
Pork jerky, spicy dried tofu, strange-flavored beans, spicy and sour chicken feet, spicy duck neck, duck rack...
Braised eggs, braised chicken legs, braised pig's trotters, braised duck racks, braised chicken wings, braised pig's head, braised vegetables...
Various summer cold dishes, kimchi...
Everything was placed on a large table nearby.
There are small glass bowls, chopsticks, toothpicks and other items placed next to the table.
It's a very simple buffet style.
When Lady Hao saw the food, her eyes lit up so brightly that it was a little scary.
However, the Empress Dowager did not do anything, and no one else said anything, so she, a little beauty, naturally felt embarrassed to go over and get the food.
Woo woo woo, I'm so greedy!
"Grand Empress Dowager, it's still early, let's sit in the house and talk first."
"When the sun has almost set, I will take you out to watch the performance of Camel Bell Legend."
“Once the performance is over, the bonfire party can begin.”
"Okay, I'm the guest today and I'll listen to you." The Empress Dowager was very easy to talk to.
"These snacks were developed by people in my palace. You can try them."
"Well, Concubine Zhen, you are really thoughtful."
"Thank you for the compliment, Empress Dowager." Si Muqiao handed over a cup of milk tea with a smile.
The milk tea she handed over was made according to the Inner Mongolian flavor.
It's that kind of fragrant salty milk tea.
After the Empress Dowager tried to take a sip, her face was immediately filled with nostalgia.
“That’s the taste, yes.”
"Hawthorne, you try it too!"
"Yes." Hawthorne just nodded, and then he saw the milk tea handed to him by Si Muqiao appeared in front of him.
"Thank you, Empress Zhenfei." Huo Sang couldn't help but give Si Muqiao a sincere and bright smile.
“You’re welcome.”
"It's exactly the same as the one in Inner Mongolia. Madam Zhenfei, may I ask who made this milk tea?"
"I did."
"Have you been to Inner Mongolia?" Hawthorne asked in surprise.
"No, I just heard about the method of making milk tea there by chance, so I tried to make it."
"As long as the Empress Dowager and the Seventh Prince like it."
After Si Muqiao finished speaking, he did not forget to greet other people.
Li Zhaoyi and Hao Meiren, like her, both love spicy food.
But Li Zhaoyi does not eat duck meat, while Concubine Hao has no dietary restrictions and especially loves to eat meat.
So she used the small glass tray to fill some spicy snacks for each of them and personally handed it to their table.
Naturally, Li Zhaoyi’s portion did not include things like duck necks.
There are more refreshing lotus root slices, etc.
There were all kinds of meat on Lady Hao's plate, accompanied by some cold dishes.
Lady Hao was deeply touched when she received the snacks handed to her by Simuqiao.
Not only did she thank him with tears in her eyes on the spot, she also went on to increase Si Muqiao's favorability rating crazily.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, Miss Hao's favorability +5."
"Ding, congratulations to the host, Miss Hao's favorability +10."
"Ding, congratulations to the host, Miss Hao's favorability +7."
“…”
"…………" Si Muqiao.
After further evaluation, it is clear that Miss Hao is a foodie!
It’s so easy to gain favor with this kind of foodie!
Even Murong Che, who had always been ignored, received a glass of boiled water handed to him by Si Muqiao.
Murong Che: “???”
Everyone eats meat and drinks milk tea, but I just drink plain water?
Is it suitable?
"Go, bring me some spicy and sour chicken feet!" Murong Che is not a formal person.
Seeing that Si Muqiao ignored him, he directly began to order the servant beside him.
"Spicy and sour chicken feet? Lord Che, didn't you dislike chicken feet before?"
"You're talking nonsense. I didn't do that. I like it very much!"
After Murong Che snorted coldly, he picked up a piece of spicy and sour chicken feet with chopsticks and started to eat it.
Ah, it smells so good!
The atmosphere in the cold palace here is friendly and harmonious.
Everybody sat together, eating, drinking and having fun, it was so lively.
In the imperial study over there, the miserable Murong Qingli was still busy dealing with memorials.
I finally finished reviewing the stack of memorials in front of me.
Murong Qingli couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand and pinched his neck.
"Guo Fu, go and call Simu Qiao to me."
