Chapter 1301 Eating the Summer Festival
It didn't take long to usher in the summer festival of Munda, Munda is located in the north, the summer is very short, legend has it that the people in order to thank God for giving them such a sunny and bright weather, they set a certain day to eat and drink to celebrate, on that day, everyone put the tables, chairs and benches at home on the street, put together a long dragon, the food made by each family is placed on the long table, the neighbors sit together, eat happily, the ashamed evolves into a festival, and the food that eats the summer festival has slowly become a fixed several, there are summer cakes, Bean crisps, cheese rings, fried gnocchi, turf cores, etc., nothing else, only summer cakes will be made into various shapes and flavors, whose housewife is skillful, then you can see one or two.
The concubines in the palace are eagerly looking forward to eating the summer festival, on this day, the king will go to the harem, eat the summer snacks made by the concubines, if you are happy to eat, you will also give an evaluation, if you can get the emperor's appreciation, it is an infinite glory. This is also a good opportunity for the palace concubines to wear heavy makeup and compete for beauty, the so-called women are pleasing to the people, in order to make the emperor pay attention to themselves, any trick can come up with, if it is favored by the emperor, it is also possible to turn over the card that night.
Therefore, this day is quite important for the palace concubines, and it needs to be carefully prepared long in advance, clothes, headdresses, rouge and fragrance, various talent shows, various ingredients, and so on. On the one hand, they were preparing happily, on the other hand, they were holding back and wanted to see the flower nobles out of the foreign appearance, the flower nobles have been staying in the vestibule during this time, presumably she has nothing to prepare over there, eating the summer festival is a festival for the palace concubines to show themselves, and the flower nobles are a member of the harem, and they can't help but participate, but they will be very embarrassed if they are not prepared. Even if she could, there would always be someone who would make her unprepared.
Lan Liuqing was the only one who didn't prepare, because she didn't understand anything, so Dema persuaded bitterly, "Master, you should also take care of it, Your Majesty is coming over, maybe Your Majesty is happy, you are favored again." ”
Lan Liuqing smiled and said, "Is it necessary to fight with my face?" Besides, grace or something, I'm not interested in it right now. ”
De Ma was dumbfounded, for the concubine, grace is not important, what is important?
Zhuo Li knew Lan Liuqing's temper, and when she heard her say this, she sighed with a smile, "The master is as beautiful as a fairy, and other masters are naturally incomparable, your face is radiant wherever you rest, and the slaves and maids can't help with anything else, it's okay to make some snacks, and then the master will say that you made it yourself, if you get a compliment from Your Majesty, your face will shine, and other masters can also look down on you." ”
Lan Liuqing nodded, "Okay, that's it." ”
As soon as dawn was shining that day, the palace was lively, and the maids and attendants who were hurrying along the palace road were nearly twice as many as usual, and they were all heading to the big kitchen. Some ingredients must be purchased on the same day, the masters of each palace made money early for the procurement of the kitchen, let them bring fresh vegetables or fresh fruits back, purchase before dawn out of the palace, after buying things back, each palace sent people to pick up, take the list and compare the logarithm of things, less is not good, procurement every year is done like this, but there will be no mistake.
It's just that when I got to the big kitchen, the door was blocked, and the needle couldn't be inserted, except for the queen, Concubine Hua and Concubine Rong, they were sent directly to the palace, and the others didn't have to divide the ranks, and they lined up honestly in order, otherwise it would be easy to quarrel, today's time is precious, no one has time to quarrel, the high position is late, at the end, and the face is not good-looking.
In the morning, they prepare their own lines and eat, after lunch, they begin to set the table, like the folk, the eight immortal tables are carried to the shade of the tree one by one to put together a long dragon, the attendants and maids bring up the snacks in their palace, a plate of dishes to look good, and have to send people to guard the side, the table next to the table, there are many people, in case anyone makes a bad heart, to the emperor to the foreign appearance, that is the catastrophe.
Hua Guiren came back from the vestibule and encountered too many unfriendly eyes, she knew it, and it was not easy to explain anything, all the way to her palace, because of the festival, she asked the emperor, early in the morning back to the harem, she is now favored, it doesn't matter what she wears, the important thing is that her table can not be empty, the emperor can not care whether she is prepared or not, when the time comes to look along the table all the way, if there is an empty table in the middle, it will be a big bad scenery, she does not want her good luck to come to an end, and she will work hard when she returns to the palace.
The masters of the palace all raise their nails, and their fingers do not touch the spring water on weekdays, only to eat the food on the summer festival to be made by themselves, after all, it is made for the emperor to eat, and they have to show some sincerity to make food for their men, of course, they can't fake the hands of others, and the daughter who can't do it anymore has to learn to do one or two at home, so the flower nobles don't dare to slack off, and hurriedly make summer cakes, cheese rings, fried gnocchi, and take fresh fruits with the plate, and ask people to put them on the table outside.
But when she changed her clothes and came out, her maid stood at the table with her head down and wiped her tears, the shiny table was empty, everything was on the ground, and she was trampled on, it was long gone, her brain buzzed, her little face turned pale, she knew that everyone was hostile to her, but she didn't expect them to be so blatant, she raised her hand and slapped the maid, "Look at the good things you did!" "I can't look at this little thing, what's the use?
The maid knelt in a mess and cried, "Master, they did it on purpose, they knocked the plate down, woo woo ......"
Of course, Hua Guiren knew that someone did it on purpose, but who did she talk to? The queen probably won't care about this, the emperor is still in the vestibule and hasn't come, her clothes have changed, and it's too late to go back and do it again.
She gritted her silver teeth, all her anger was on the maid, and she raised her hand and slapped it again, and the maid covered her face, not daring to shout again.
The movement was a little loud, the queen came over and glanced at it a few times, and reprimanded: "What's the noise, hurry up and clean up the ground, Your Majesty will come over soon, cheer up the palace!" ”
All the palace concubines blessed themselves one after another, and responded in unison: "Listen to the teachings of the mother." ”
A few attendants cleaned up the things on the ground, and the crying maids also went back to the house, and the flower nobleman stood among the concubines with a white face, gritting his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
Finally, I heard a high-pitched voice from an attendant at the palace gate, "Your Majesty has arrived." ”
Everyone knelt on the ground to greet her, Lan Liuqing glanced at Kun Qinglong with a lack of interest, she hadn't seen her for a month, everything had become a cloud of smoke in the past, she didn't pay attention to it anymore, and her attention quickly turned to the commander of Qin behind the emperor, I don't know if she will see her, how surprised Qin Dian's nerd will be, will she ask her stupidly: Are you a human or a demon?
