Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Jia Ling's Double Rebirth, Creates a Great Success

Chapter 60 I don’t know how to make dumpling wrappers (2)

New Year's Eve is the day for the whole palace to reunite. However, because the Empress Dowager went to Mount Wutai to worship Buddha and the Empress was pregnant, a family banquet was only held in the Qianqing Palace.

Ruyi looked at Fucha Langya, who was sitting side by side with the emperor and wearing a bright yellow auspicious dress, and a strange sense of jealousy arose in her heart.

She didn't want to see the emperor and the queen being so affectionate. The emperor even reached out and gently stroked Langya's belly. They actually felt like a common married couple.

Langya smiled shyly and reminded quietly, "Your Majesty, all the sisters are still watching."

Langya was already a beauty, but her dignified temperament surpassed her beauty, which made people overlook that she was also a great beauty. Now, her smile made the emperor dazed.

The emperor took a sip of wine to calm himself down, and looked around at his concubines. It turned out that all his concubines were so beautiful. The Imperial Concubine was pretty, the Chun Concubine was graceful, the Jia Concubine was gorgeous, the Ling Concubine was bright, and the Xian Concubine... were all unique.

Langya saw that all the concubines were seated, then she stood up and picked up the wine glass, "The night is long and the candles are blooming, the family is laughing and talking about the new year. Today is a family dinner, sisters don't have to be too formal, everyone just talk and laugh to have the new year atmosphere."

After finishing a glass of fruit wine, Langya slowly sat down.

Consort Hui Gao Xiyue also stood up to show her support: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I and the sisters have made some dumplings by hand. Although they are just ordinary fillings, they are also a token of your love. Please have a taste, Your Majesty."

After the emperor took a bite, Langya also ate one. It was indeed delicious.

Everyone tasted the dumplings they had made and ate them with gusto. Jin Yuyan glanced at Ruyi, who was reluctant to pick up her chopsticks and even looked a little disdainful.

Finally, Ruyi stood up with a smug smile, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to make dumplings. I only brought a bottle of vinegar made from rose petals. Please try it."

Lu Muping wanted to comfort Ruyi, so she said crisply:

"My Lady Xian, the dumplings at the banquet are served with vinegar. They are delicious. If you don't know how to make dumplings, come to me and I will teach you."

The emperor was also enjoying his meal, but he frowned, unable to imagine what rose vinegar would taste like.

After hearing what Ruyi said, Concubine Hui said with an unhappy look on her face:

"Princess Xian, is it more time-consuming to make vinegar or to learn how to make dumplings? You just want to be different."

The Emperor and Langya looked at Concubine Hui and were both surprised, wondering how come Xiyue was so smart?

Indeed, it takes at least one or two months to make vinegar from fermentation to finished product, but you can learn to make dumplings in just one day.

Ruyi didn't expect Concubine Hui to ask this, so she could only find an excuse and say:

"I just thought that eating dumplings is indispensable without vinegar, and thinking that Your Majesty likes flowers, I made this rose vinegar as a garnish."

The emperor finally spoke, "Ruyi, even a three-year-old knows that dumplings should be dipped in vinegar, how could the imperial concubine not know that? Since you don't know how to make dumplings, just sit there and eat along."

Jin Yuyan looked at Ruyi's bottle of rose vinegar and said confidently:

"Your Majesty, I wonder if Concubine Xian wants to make rose rice vinegar from Jiangsu and Zhejiang and present it to Your Majesty?"

Ruyi nodded. She had indeed heard of rose rice vinegar, which was why she wanted to make it to surprise everyone on New Year's Eve.

Seeing that Ruyi had fallen for it, Jin Yuyan smiled charmingly and said confidently:

"Oh~ Concubine Xian is showing off her half-knowledge again. This rose rice vinegar is not made of roses, but is also made from fermented rice. It's just that its color is as bright as a rose, and its vinegar aroma is soft and long-lasting, fresh and slightly sweet, so it has a beautiful name, called rose rice vinegar."

After Jin Yuyan finished speaking, she looked at Ruyi steadily. This was not her framing Ruyi, but Ruyi shooting herself in the foot.

She was just planning to let Ruyi surface on her own.

And this emperor, in his previous life, was so picky about Yan Wan's bird's nest, and he said many times that Yan Wan couldn't tell the difference between sweet white glaze and white porcelain. He and Ruyi were the same, they didn't even know what rose rice vinegar was.

Jin Yuyan looks down upon the emperor and Ruyi equally, two people who think highly of themselves!

Fu Cha Langya and Gao Xiyue's eyes lit up after hearing what had just been said. Yuyan was indeed the smartest among them and knew so much. Yan Wan also looked at Jin Yuyan with approval. She must have flipped through several books overnight to find the answer.

Yanwan was very happy. That was how Ruyi was. She was always showing off her half-baked talent and often made people laugh here.

The emperor praised: "Yuyan, I never thought that you knew so much."

Jin Yuyan said modestly: "I have only read a few more books than Concubine Xian. If it weren't for the ridiculousness of making vinegar from rose petals, I wouldn't have said more."

Ruyi's face turned as red as her red buttocks after what Jin Yuyan said. Today was really embarrassing.

Yi Huan lowered her head and said to Lu Mu Ping, "You still wanted to teach her how to make dumplings. Look, she just wanted to show off on purpose and ended up embarrassing herself. If you rush to teach her, she might even laugh at you in her heart."

Lu Muping said angrily: "It's hard to say!"

Yan Wan smiled sympathetically and said, "It's okay if Concubine Xian can't tell the difference between rose rice vinegar and rose vinegar. You'll learn it slowly and you'll be able to tell the difference."

Bai Ruiji also said loudly: "Your Majesty, I was wondering the other day why Concubine Xian took all the roses in the imperial garden. It turns out it was just for this kind of jealousy."

The emperor was upset. He had asked the greenhouse to cultivate roses. He heard that roses represent love, so he wanted to use them to cheer up the pregnant queen. The emperor reprimanded Ruyi to vent his emotions:

"Ruyi, look at you, you went to so much trouble to make something that looks like nothing. Can you read a book before making vinegar? Besides, does my harem need this bottle of vinegar? For a bottle of vinegar, you wasted a bunch of roses. No wonder you said bird's nest is luxurious. You have never seen the world!"

"I used to think that you, Ruyi, were well-read and knowledgeable, but now, alas, you are just seeking fame and reputation."

Ruyi felt very aggrieved. The development of events today was completely out of her control. She thought she would get the emperor's praise and affirmation, and she thought that all the other women in the harem would be overshadowed by her.

But, none of them.

The emperor looked at her with a playful eye, and the other concubines mocked her.

how so.

Ruyi thought that if it were in the past, Hailan would definitely explain for her, but now Hailan sat opposite her and turned a blind eye.

Ruyi resented Fucha Langya, Gao Xiyue, and Jin Yuyan, especially Jin Yuyan. How could she, a tribute girl from the northern country, know so much?

Jin Yuyan visited various palaces every day in public, but secretly studied in the palace. Even if she was told about this plot, she would not bother to do it.

Ruyi comforted herself, and it finally worked a little. She forced herself to face the emperor and said:

"Your Majesty, this is a token of my love. Even if it's not real rose rice vinegar, you should try it."

The emperor loved his big bunch of roses, and the vinegar was made from his roses. He dipped the dumplings in the vinegar with tears in his eyes and ate it.

It doesn't taste right.

Then, the emperor's neck and face turned red from the smoke, and he started coughing violently.

Langya quickly stood up to calm the emperor down, and Jinzhong also handed him a cup of tea. After drinking it, the emperor looked up and said angrily: ...
