Chapter 1634: Princess Lihua

It wasn't until a palace lady brought the brocade stool that Gu Xiaowan was sitting on the edge a little bit, and she didn't dare to sit down, her back was straight, her face was gentle and courteous, but she was not afraid or arrogant, which made people praise her.
"The Ai family heard the emperor say, you had a grill yesterday." The empress dowager clicked her forehead, but she couldn't tell her name for half a day. The aunt Jinyi on the side said hurriedly: "Queen dowager, it's barbecue!"
"Yes, look at the memory of the Aijia family, it is called barbecue!" The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Listen to the emperor, you burned him a barbecue yesterday. It tastes very good. The Aijia also wants to eat some spicy food these days. , Why don't you bake it for Ai's family?"
The empress dowager wants to have a barbecue. Of course, it is incumbent for Gu Xiaowan to get up. The Jinyi aunt next to the empress dowager led Gu Xiaowan to the pavilion.
When I went, the charcoal fire, grill, barbed wire, bamboo strips, and seasonings were all prepared in the pavilion. I looked familiar, but it seemed that I had used things yesterday.
The aunt Jinyi on the side saw this, and hurriedly said with a smile: "The princess, this thing was sent by the emperor yesterday! It is said that the princess came to visit the empress dowager today, and it happened that these things were given to the queen mother, and the princess also baked the queen mother. one time!"
Gu Xiaowan first ordered the maid to burn the charcoal, and then went to the small kitchen with Aunt Jinyi.
The small kitchen is full of things, and the ingredients in it are all the freshest and the best. Gu Xiaowan first asked the empress dowager about her daily dietary preferences and taboos before she actually began to prepare the ingredients.
The maid on the side got the order from Aunt Jinyi, and immediately went to wash it, and then cut the ingredients into the way Gu Xiaowan ordered, and then took the bamboo sticks and skewered them one by one until everything was ready. After that, I went to the pavilion.
The empress dowager was already waiting in the pavilion, and was talking with Father Qi.
Seeing people coming, the empress dowager sat down and said with a smile: "Just now I heard Father Qi said that the emperor was also talking about the taste of this barbecue last night. She wanted to eat very much, and she said she would come again later. Xiaowan, you have to bake more! Otherwise, Aijia will not have enough to eat!"
Jin Yi smiled: "Queen dowager, don't worry, the princess has made a lot of things. If it is not enough, there are ready-made ingredients in the small kitchen. Let the ladies continue to pack some more!"
Gu Xiaowan smiled as she passed by the queen mother, just to see a cup of ginseng tea in her blue and white porcelain tea cup, so she said: "The queen mother, can you change a cup of tea?"
"Oh? Why?" The Queen Mother asked when seeing this.
"Going back to the empress dowager, I will eat something hot later. If you drink ginseng tea again, I am afraid it will damage the empress dowager’s phoenix body. Don’t change it with a cup of Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, or Mongolia. Ding Ganlu to clear the fire?"
"It's advisable, you are an expert, you have the final say, come here, change a cup of tea for Lai's family!" The empress mother smiled and listened to Gu Xiaowan's words. When the maid was about to go down, the queen mother called out again: "The emperor also Come, make a cup for the emperor!"
After using the barbed wire yesterday, it has been brushed clean and translucent. Gu Xiaowan took a handful of beef that had been cut into small shreds and roasted it on the fire, brushing it with oil, sprinkling with salt and spices, and the court lady on the side Fanned the Queen Mother, fanning away the smoke and dust.
auzw.com After a while, the grilled beef skewers exuded a charming fragrance.
The empress dowager is also a glutton, and she likes to eat spicy food on weekdays. Now, when she sees the fragrant and tangy smell, she can't bear it, she said with a smile: "This smells really good. It's about to fall!"
A joke made by the empress dowager made everyone present laugh.
Gu Xiaowan grilled the meat skewers, put them on a white jade porcelain plate, and put them on the table: "Empress Mother, this is beef skewers, you can try it!"
After finishing speaking, he reassuredly exhorted: "Manny, this is freshly baked from the fire, and it is a bit hot. Eat it when it's cold!"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a joyous voice from not far away: "Mother, what good things are so fragrant, you have to save some for your sons and ministers!"
"Look, I said it was someone who came to Cengmai's house to eat. Now it's fine, here's another one!" The queen mother laughed jokingly and looked in the direction she came.
I saw a woman wearing a long white skirt, but she saw that the wide hem was embroidered with purple patterns, her arms were wrapped with a length of smoked gauze, Qianqian's slender waist was full and she held it with a light weight. It is tied with a purple belt studded with emeralds, a crystal necklace is worn on the neck, and the collarbone is increasingly clear.
There was a seven-treasure coral hairpin in her hair, reflecting her face like a hibiscus, and thumb-sized pearls, white as snow, and twinkling in her hair. She was moving the lotus step lightly, running towards the pavilion, still listening To her delicate laugh.
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly got up and saluted. If she had guessed right, she would dare to face the most noble woman in the harem who would make such a joke. She was afraid that only the birth daughter of the empress dowager, Princess Lihua, would be the only thing.
Sure enough, a group of court ladies and servants, including father-in-law Qi and aunt Jinyi, hurriedly greeted her: "The slave (slave) please greet the princess!"
"Forget it!" After seeing the princess Lihua smiling and asking everyone to come in, she curiously looked at one of the strangers: "Are you the newly-canonized Anping princess yesterday?"
Gu Xiaowan nodded and said yes.
The mother and daughter, the pattern of the first question is really surprisingly consistent.
Originally intending to respond to Princess Lihua’s second sentence, I saw her affectionately took Gu Xiaowan’s arm and said enthusiastically: "Oh, I can finally run into you. Hurry up, bake it, the emperor's brother yesterday. That said, I almost didn't greet my saliva. Fortunately, I came to the maternal harem today. Otherwise, I don't know how long I will have to wait!"
Seeing the lively and innocent look of the eldest princess, the queen mother was very happy, and said with a hurried smile: "Lihua, there are already baked goods here!"
As soon as the princess heard this, she hurried over. As expected, she saw a bunch of beef on the plate. Without even thinking about it, she grabbed it with her hands.
The beef skewers were not hot anymore, and when they were delivered to the entrance, the fragrant smell was as the emperor said. It is simply that this thing should only be found in the sky, and it is rare to smell it in the world.
