Concubine Tong still remembered the frightened look in Buerzhu's eyes when he said these words. Obviously, even a person like Buerzhu was afraid of the power of this Gu insect.
And this is exactly what Concubine Tong wants.
What about sucking/sperm blood?How about haggard?As long as the murderer who killed her child can be killed, she is willing to do anything!
In order not to arouse too much suspicion, it took three full days before Concubine Tong inadvertently reminded Xin Zheku's steward, asking him to give Buerzhu and her two maids an easier job, lest Buerzhu die too soon Early, ruined the emperor's plan.
The steward naturally agreed repeatedly, and changed Buerzhu and her two maids to the Laundry Bureau, and asked them to wash and dry clothes.
Boolean is in charge of drying the clothes. This job is much easier than washing the bucket, and more importantly, it is much cleaner. Finally, I don't have to feel disgusted at the bucket every day.
There are also more people in contact with the Clothes Bureau. From time to time, the maids of the harem concubines come to pick up clothes, so Buerzhu and her two court ladies can also inquire about some outside news.
It's a pity that several days have passed, and I haven't heard any special news. Boolean is even more curious. Who is Concubine Tong trying to deal with with the broken blood gu?
She only hoped that Concubine Tong would not be exposed, otherwise she would be dead.
On this day, Concubine Tong came to visit the noble concubine, and this was the first time Concubine Tong came to visit since the two of them broke up.And the noble concubine has not stepped out of Chengqian Palace for so long, and has been hiding in the palace to raise her baby.
The imperial concubine attaches great importance to this child. She has been in the palace for so many years, and she finally got pregnant. She still counts on this child to go further.
So when she saw Concubine Tong coming, she didn't have a good face.
"What are you here for?"
Concubine Tong smiled and sat down beside her: "Sister, don't come here unharmed. I haven't come to visit my sister for so long. Sister won't be angry, right?"
"Hmph, you'd be happier if you didn't come to the palace." The imperial concubine was also quite blunt when speaking, she just showed her face to Concubine Tong.
Concubine Tong's eyes flashed with gloom, but her smile became more warm.
"My sister's words are really hurtful, but my sister doesn't mind, who made us sisters, broken bones are still connected."
The noble concubine glanced at her, and frowned displeasedly: "What the hell are you doing here? If there's nothing wrong, just kneel down."
She didn't forget what Concubine Tong said last time. Although Concubine Tong hadn't moved during this time, she didn't believe that the other party just gave up.
"I just came to visit my sister, she is so ruthless." Concubine Tong shook her head, sighed softly and said, "Well, it seems that you don't welcome me anymore, since that's the case, I have nothing to say."
She took out a bottle of perfume from her bosom, the imperial concubine's eyelids twitched suddenly, what exactly does this woman want?
"Sister, don't be so vigilant. It took me a lot of time to make this perfume successfully. I didn't add any lead powder in it." Concubine Tong played with the perfume, her eyes were dark, and her words were somewhat mocking.
"The last time I was pregnant, my sister gave me a bottle of perfume, and now I will return it to you. In this way, we will settle the matter."
With that said, Concubine Tong opened the perfume and sniffed it, then handed it to the concubine, but the concubine hid to the side.
Concubine Tong covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Sister, what are you so afraid of doing? I told you that there is no lead powder in it. My perfume is a pure natural floral fragrance, and it has absolutely no harm to the body."
"If you leave the perfume, you can go away." The imperial concubine's complexion was dark, and she issued an order to evict the guest.
"Sister, don't you want to give it a try?" Concubine Tong poured out a little and wiped it on her hands. In no time, the light floral fragrance overflowed and rushed into the concubine's nose.
The fragrance was really good, seeing that the imperial concubine didn't shy away from her at all, she gradually let go of her vigilance.
Concubine Tong smiled, grabbing her hand and was about to fall down, Concubine Gui flinched, and felt annoyed at Concubine Tong's smile, this woman was actually making fun of her.
She was heartbroken, thinking that even if it was poisonous, it would be a big deal to wash it off after a while, so it wouldn't make people laugh.
"If you want to try it, try it quickly, I don't have that much time to play with you." She urged rudely.
Concubine Tong fell a little in her palm, and Concubine Gui felt itchy in her palm, as if something was crawling, but it disappeared soon, so she didn't think too much about it.
The imperial concubine diffused the perfume, spread it on the back of her hand little by little, and stretched the back of her hand to her nose: "Sister, smell it, isn't it very fragrant?"
"En." The imperial concubine replied impatiently: "Okay, I've tried this perfume too, and I'm tired too, so you can leave if you have nothing to do."
Concubine Tong sighed softly, her eyes resentful: "My sister always wants to drive me away, that's all, then I won't bother my sister. Remember to use this perfume, don't let my sister down."
She stood up and saluted, and then left Chengqian Palace.
It wasn't until the back completely disappeared that the noble concubine threw the perfume to the maid beside her and ordered: "Throw it away, throw it far away."
"Yes, empress." The maid hurriedly left with the perfume in her hand.
"It's inexplicable." The concubine rolled her eyes, she didn't bother to pay any attention to this matter, and got up to wash her hands.
Concubine Tong, who left Chengqian Palace, put on a smile again, and she remembered the conversation with Buerzhu that day.
She asked: "How to use this Gu worm?"
Boerzhu said: "If it is other Gu insects, it needs to be eaten to enter the body, but the blood-severing Gu insect is different. This kind of Gu insect is very powerful. As long as it touches the skin, it can get in by itself, but it is a little itchy and easy to get in." be found."
In order to successfully lay a spell on the noble concubine, Concubine Tong has been thinking a lot these days, and finally made her think of this method.The result made her very satisfied, the noble concubine did not have any doubts, and as soon as the Gu worms entered the noble concubine's body, she felt something, she felt that she could control these two Gu worms.
It took a lot of self-control, so she didn't launch an attack. If she attacked now, the noble concubine would definitely feel suspicious.
Forbearance, she must hold back!
In the next period of time, Concubine Tong paid a lot of attention to her body. Not only would she eat a few more meals every day, but she would also exercise more, because the Blood Severing Gu would suck her blood essence.If she didn't take good care of her body, she might be defeated before she could launch an attack.
And after that day, the imperial concubine found that her body was normal, and it could only be attributed to the fact that Concubine Tong wanted to disgust her on purpose.
Time soon entered June, and usually at this time, people inside and outside the palace began to prepare for hunting in the Mulan paddock.But this year is different. Because of the two-way war with Tsarist Russia and Junggar, Kangxi has a headache and really has no leisure to go hunting. This incident made many concubines feel regretful.
Can't go out, it's really boring to be idle in the palace, so Ma Guan decided to hold a banquet to relieve everyone's emotions, so as to prevent some people from having nothing to do and causing troubles.
This banquet is named as a buffet banquet, as the name suggests, it is for everyone to prepare this banquet by themselves.
All the concubines in the harem who are willing to participate must prepare the ingredients themselves. When the time comes, they will cook a delicacy in public. After the preparation, they will select the most delicious food, and then everyone will enjoy it together.
This model is very novel to everyone, but many people find it very difficult, because they have never touched the spring water since they were young, and they have never cooked their own food.
But there are also some people who are very happy, because they have learned how to cook from Ma Guan, and they know some dim sum or other things.
In any case, this unique buffet banquet attracted everyone's attention, and the concubines in the harem responded positively and expressed their willingness to participate.
Even Concubine Yi, who was pregnant, and Concubine Niu, who didn't have much contact with others, expressed their willingness to participate. Only Concubine Gui didn't give a clear answer.Ma Guan didn't care, anyway, one more of her is not too much, and one less of her is quite a lot.
Ma Juan also told Concubine Hui about this, and she set the time for late June, when Concubine Hui would also be free from the confinement and could participate.Concubine Hui was very moved by this, she did not expect Concubine De to hold a banquet and still think of her.
The three-month confinement was simply torture for her. She was unable to contact anyone outside the Yanxi Palace, and she was not allowed to meet them. She was so bored that she was almost moldy.
Unexpectedly, this incident alarmed the emperor, who enthusiastically expressed his intention to attend, worried that the venue was not big enough, and asked Ma Guan where the banquet would be held.
What Ma Guan was thinking about was the Yonghe Palace, and planned to open both the front and back yards at that time. The emperor was worried that they would burn the house down, so he chose another place and set it on the square outside the Qianqing Palace.
This square is very wide, not to mention thirty or forty concubines, even three or four hundred concubines can fit, so Ma Guan naturally accepted it happily.
Time flies, and soon it's time to hold a buffet dinner.
In the early morning of this day, all the concubines and concubines gathered outside the Qianqing Palace, and the maids and eunuchs behind them were still carrying the ingredients, waiting for a while to show off their skills.
The eunuchs in the imperial dining room began to arrange the stoves, and each concubine used one separately.To avoid disputes.
An hour later, after everything was arranged, Ma Guan and Concubine Hui arrived hand in hand.
Glancing at the square, the concubines couldn't wait to choose a place for themselves and put all the ingredients on it.
"I have seen Concubine De and Concubine Hui." Seeing them coming, everyone saluted and greeted them in unison.
Ma Guan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is welcome, since you have chosen a place, let's start cooking. Today, I have specially prepared three gifts, and the top three will be selected to give away. Yes Yes, the emperor will come over soon to serve as the judge, so everyone must show their true skills."
When everyone heard that the emperor wanted to taste their own food, their eyes lit up and they were eager to try it.
"Okay, everyone, let's start now." Seeing that they couldn't wait any longer, Ma Guan didn't delay any longer.
So the concubines worked in full swing, some made dim sum, some made soup, some steamed or fried vegetables, and they looked decent.
Those who have never cooked before probably took a surprise tutoring a few days ago, and all of them are very passionate.
The palace maids helped out, lighting the fire, washing the vegetables, and some even whispering, more nervous than the concubines.
To Ma Guan's surprise, Pin Niu and Concubine Tong didn't lose the chain at all. They both made dim sum and looked serious.
Her eyes wandered around, and she realized that only the imperial concubine hadn't come...
"It's so lively here, Sister Defei, I'm not late, right?" Just as I was thinking, I heard the voice of the noble concubine, who was late with the support of the maid, and she was still covering her belly with one hand , I really show off my happiness all the time.
Ma Guan was helpless, this person only came at this time, did he want to be the finale?But a buffet, is this necessary?
"I have seen the imperial concubine." Ma Yuan said calmly, "The empress came at the right time, and we are just getting started."
"That's good, I'm still worried that I'll be late and spoil your interest." The noble concubine raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"What is the imperial concubine talking about? It's an honor for everyone to join us." Seeing that the maid behind her was also holding some ingredients, she said, "Please come here, the imperial concubine. There are still three stoves left. The empress can Pick one."
"Well, let's just have this one on the side." The imperial concubine winked, and the maid behind her immediately put the ingredients on it, and then started to light the fire.
The imperial concubine was not in a hurry to cook, but looked around the square, and said with a smile: "Sisters are very familiar with each other, I am afraid that I have practiced a lot for today's banquet. This palace will not be complete, only some simple I hope you don’t make a fool of yourself for a while.”
"My sister is being modest. I heard that my sister learned how to make dim sum from De Fei's sister. She must be very good at making dim sum. My sister is still waiting to taste the delicious food made by my sister." Concubine Tong is not far away. The concubine's face was not very good-looking when she poked the concubine's scar.
She learned how to make dim sum from Concubine De?Isn't this ironic that she is not as good as Concubine De?
That's all, who doesn't know that when she punished Concubine De to kneel under the pretense of learning how to make dim sum, the emperor came here to find someone and reprimanded her?
Concubine Tong was clearly trying to embarrass her on purpose.
"My sister was joking. I remember that my sister learned a good cooking skill. When she was still at home, she learned how to cook a lot." The imperial concubine replied coldly, and it was Concubine Tong who changed her face.
The concubine's words reminded her of that humiliating time, the family didn't let her learn to cook at all, even if she was a concubine, she was also a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, so why would she need to do these things?It was the imperial concubine who deliberately made things difficult for her and humiliated her. She didn't end her life like that until the imperial concubine entered the palace.
Seeing the sisters bickering and exposing each other's scars, Ma Guan and Concubine Hui looked at each other. This pair of sisters is a bit interesting, and they actually started fighting.
Seeing that Concubine Tong didn't speak any more, Concubine Gui raised the corners of her lips triumphantly, and started making snacks with a triumphant smile.
Everyone took action, and Ma Guan and Concubine Hui also joined the battlefield.Because Ma Guan was pregnant, it was not suitable to stand for a long time, so she did not choose to make snacks.After letting the maids handle the ingredients, they made a fried guinea fowl.
She has not lost her culinary skills over the years, and she cooks a few dishes by herself from time to time, so when she showed her skills today, she attracted the attention of countless people.
Looking at her movements like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the gorgeous beauty in her gestures, everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed, Defei is the only one who cooks.
Ma Guan was the latecomer, and he was the first to finish it, which put great pressure on everyone.
As time went by, more and more people finished cooking, and by noon, most of them had already finished cooking.
Kangxi was also busy with government affairs, and took Liang Jiugong out of Xinuang Pavilion.
"The emperor is here." With the sound of a message, everyone quickly saluted and greeted.
When Kangxi came to the square, he couldn't help smiling when he saw the enthusiastic posture.
"All the concubines have shown their supernatural powers, I am lucky today."
The imperial concubine was the closest to him, and she said with a smile: "Guess what the emperor did for the emperor?"
"Well, it should be dim sum." Kangxi came to her stove, sniffed a sweet aroma, and said with a smile, "I guess it's red bean muffin."
He has eaten this kind of dim sum for many years, and he is very familiar with it.
"Your Majesty is really powerful, so you can guess it." The imperial concubine smiled happily, and lifted the lid of the pot herself, and a pot of hot red bean muffin was officially released.
"Well, it looks very good. I must try one in a while." Kangxi was aroused by gluttons, and he hadn't eaten this food for nearly a month.
"Your Majesty, then guess what the concubine did." Not to be outdone, Concubine Tong stepped forward to take Kangxi's arm and brought him to her side.
The imperial concubine glared at her displeasedly, as if Concubine Tong had never heard of it.
After Kangxi watched Concubine Tong's dim sum, he went to see Ma Quan's. He knew Ma Quan's craftsmanship very well, so he looked forward to her cooking the most among these delicacies.
Seeing a plate of shiny guinea fowl, he couldn't help twitching his index finger: "Aifei's cooking skills are still so excellent, I don't think the ones made by the Imperial Dining Room are as good as your plate."
"Your Majesty has never tasted it, so how do you know it's so good?" Ma Yuan smiled, the Emperor's words were too embarrassing for her.
Kangxi didn't have time to look over one by one, so he asked everyone to put all the delicacies he made on the big round table, and he went to taste each one.
Dozens of dishes were piled up on the table, with candied fruit, pastry and pickles at the front, and steamed, stir-fried vegetables, soups and dim sum at the back.
Although some people are not reconciled to being left behind, after all, they may be full after eating, how can they taste delicious?But most of the banquets are in this order, and it's hard for them to say anything.
"Your Majesty, although the sisters made this dish in public, just in case, the concubine thinks it is necessary to try the dish." Concubine Tong suddenly made a suggestion, although it was a bit reckless, it was also reasonable.
Ma Guan gave her a meaningful look, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Sister Concubine Tong's words are justified, and nothing is more important than the safety of the Emperor."
"That being the case, let's try the dishes." Kangxi did not refuse.
"There's no need to invite someone to try the dishes. It's better to let the cooks try the dishes. If you don't even dare to eat what you cook, then there must be something wrong." Concubine Tong said again.
"Makes sense."
"Anyway, my food is fine."
"mine too."
The concubines talked a lot, and they also thought this idea was good.After all, if you ask a special person to test the dishes, if you eat too many dishes by yourself, even if there is something wrong with the food, you don't know whose dish is wrong.
"Your Majesty, let the sisters try their own dishes, and let everyone taste the taste." Seeing that no one objected, Ma Yuan made a suggestion.
Kangxi nodded slightly, agreeing to this approach.
So the concubine who made the candied fruit began to try the dishes. After eating a piece of candied fruit, Kangxi waited for several minutes before Kangxi moved his chopsticks.
The people behind also try the dishes in order, which saves waiting time.
Every time Kangxi tasted a dish, he would make a comment. Those who were praised were very happy, and those who were slightly deficient sighed secretly, vowing to do better in the future.
The tried dishes are placed on another table, and then everyone will taste them together.
Not long after, Ma Guan also took a bite of the dish she cooked. She had to say that the taste was so good that she wished she could eat it all by herself.
When Kangxi tasted her dish, he smiled for the first time, and praised: "Defei's dish has improved compared with the past, and it is really delicious. In my opinion, it is the best so far."
"Your Majesty, if you say that, this concubine will be proud." Ma Yuan lifted her chin and smiled happily.
"Sister Defei can be proud, who in the palace doesn't know that the dishes you cook are delicious? I will try more later." Concubine Hui echoed with a smile.
It is impossible to say that she is not envious or jealous at all, but she knows how to measure, and when it comes to cooking, no one in the harem can compare to Concubine De.
Others also praised me with one glance, and they all expressed their desire to try Ma Guan's guinea fowl. Before they finished tasting this dish, Ma Guan's guinea fowl was locked in the top three.
The noble concubine rolled her eyes in displeasure, this concubine De is really good at showing off, and the purpose of holding this buffet banquet today is to show off, right?
Kangxi continued to taste the food, and praised a plate of bergamot golden rolls.
"Who made this dish? It's not bad."
"Going back to the emperor, it was done by the concubine." Niu Concubine's voice came from behind, and the people in front of her quickly moved out of the way.
Ma Guan and the others were surprised, why did Concubine Niu hide so far behind?According to her temperament, shouldn't she be at the forefront?I always feel that since returning from hunting last year, Concubine Niu has changed a little, becoming more low-key and restrained.
Kangxi also showed surprise, nodded and said: "This dish is not bad, Concubine Niu has made progress."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Concubine Niu thanked her with a faint smile.
When Kangxi continued to taste the next dish, Ma Guan saw that Niu pin covered her mouth and frowned, as if she was a little uncomfortable, and deliberately avoided it.
Ma Guan was puzzled, is this concubine Niu sick?
But before she got to the bottom of it, she saw the imperial concubine coming forward, picking up a piece of red bean sponge cake and feeding it into her mouth, it was her turn to try the dishes.
Judging by the appearance of the red bean sponge cake, it is actually not bad, the imperial concubine has used her real kung fu today.
Kangxi began to taste the soup, such as chicken soup, pigeon soup and tremella soup, there are always six or seven kinds.
When he tasted the tremella soup, Kangxi praised again: "This soup is good."
"Your Majesty, this soup is made by my concubine." Concubine Yi walked forward with a smile.
"Well, Concubine Yi's skills are also good..."
"Ouch……"
Before Kangxi finished boasting, there was a scream from the side, and the imperial concubine's face turned red, and she screamed as she tightly covered her stomach with both hands.
Everyone was startled, the first reaction was that the imperial concubine had been poisoned, they immediately took two steps back in shock, fearing that they would be involved.
"What's going on?" Kangxi's complexion changed slightly, he got up and supported the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine was so painful that tears came out, her whole body was blushed, her face was so red that it seemed to be bleeding.
"Tell the imperial doctor." Ma Yuan was also taken aback, and immediately decided to ask the imperial doctor.
Is the imperial concubine really poisoned?Impossible!Who would be stupid enough to put poison in their own food?
But the current situation of the imperial concubine is indeed very similar to being poisoned. Could it be that someone secretly put poison in the imperial concubine's dessert?But how did you do it under the watchful eyes of everyone?
"Ouch...the concubine is in so much pain...your majesty, the concubine is so uncomfortable...it seems like a fire is burning..." The imperial concubine cried bitterly, feeling aggrieved.
"Why is this happening? Could it be that my sister can't eat red bean muffin cake?" Concubine Tong looked worried, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Or is this snack poisonous?"
The author has something to say: Cough, the imperial concubine does not know how to bring dogs here...

Thank you dear (^o^)/~
And this is exactly what Concubine Tong wants.
What about sucking/sperm blood?How about haggard?As long as the murderer who killed her child can be killed, she is willing to do anything!
In order not to arouse too much suspicion, it took three full days before Concubine Tong inadvertently reminded Xin Zheku's steward, asking him to give Buerzhu and her two maids an easier job, lest Buerzhu die too soon Early, ruined the emperor's plan.

On this day, Concubine Tong came to visit the noble concubine, and this was the first time Concubine Tong came to visit since the two of them broke up.And the noble concubine has not stepped out of Chengqian Palace for so long, and has been hiding in the palace to raise her baby.
The imperial concubine attaches great importance to this child. She has been in the palace for so many years, and she finally got pregnant. She still counts on this child to go further.
So when she saw Concubine Tong coming, she didn't have a good face.
"What are you here for?"
Concubine Tong smiled and sat down beside her: "Sister, don't come here unharmed. I haven't come to visit my sister for so long. Sister won't be angry, right?"
"Hmph, you'd be happier if you didn't come to the palace." The imperial concubine was also quite blunt when speaking, she just showed her face to Concubine Tong.
Concubine Tong's eyes flashed with gloom, but her smile became more warm.
"My sister's words are really hurtful, but my sister doesn't mind, who made us sisters, broken bones are still connected."
The noble concubine glanced at her, and frowned displeasedly: "What the hell are you doing here? If there's nothing wrong, just kneel down."
She didn't forget what Concubine Tong said last time. Although Concubine Tong hadn't moved during this time, she didn't believe that the other party just gave up.
"I just came to visit my sister, she is so ruthless." Concubine Tong shook her head, sighed softly and said, "Well, it seems that you don't welcome me anymore, since that's the case, I have nothing to say."

Concubine Tong sighed softly, her eyes resentful: "My sister always wants to drive me away, that's all, then I won't bother my sister. Remember to use this perfume, don't let my sister down."

Ma Juan also told Concubine Hui about this, and she set the time for late June, when Concubine Hui would also be free from the confinement and could participate.Concubine Hui was very moved by this, she did not expect Concubine De to hold a banquet and still think of her.
The three-month confinement was simply torture for her. She was unable to contact anyone outside the Yanxi Palace, and she was not allowed to meet them. She was so bored that she was almost moldy.
Unexpectedly, this incident alarmed the emperor, who enthusiastically expressed his intention to attend, worried that the venue was not big enough, and asked Ma Guan where the banquet would be held.
What Ma Guan was thinking about was the Yonghe Palace, and planned to open both the front and back yards at that time. The emperor was worried that they would burn the house down, so he chose another place and set it on the square outside the Qianqing Palace.
This square is very wide, not to mention thirty or forty concubines, even three or four hundred concubines can fit, so Ma Guan naturally accepted it happily.
Time flies, and soon it's time to hold a buffet dinner.
In the early morning of this day, all the concubines and concubines gathered outside the Qianqing Palace, and the maids and eunuchs behind them were still carrying the ingredients, waiting for a while to show off their skills.
The eunuchs in the imperial dining room began to arrange the stoves, and each concubine used one separately.To avoid disputes.
An hour later, after everything was arranged, Ma Guan and Concubine Hui arrived hand in hand.
Glancing at the square, the concubines couldn't wait to choose a place for themselves and put all the ingredients on it.
"I have seen Concubine De and Concubine Hui." Seeing them coming, everyone saluted and greeted them in unison.
Ma Guan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone is welcome, since you have chosen a place, let's start cooking. Today, I have specially prepared three gifts, and the top three will be selected to give away. Yes Yes, the emperor will come over soon to serve as the judge, so everyone must show their true skills."
When everyone heard that the emperor wanted to taste their own food, their eyes lit up and they were eager to try it.
"Okay, everyone, let's start now." Seeing that they couldn't wait any longer, Ma Guan didn't delay any longer.
So the concubines worked in full swing, some made dim sum, some made soup, some steamed or fried vegetables, and they looked decent.
Those who have never cooked before probably took a surprise tutoring a few days ago, and all of them are very passionate.
The palace maids helped out, lighting the fire, washing the vegetables, and some even whispering, more nervous than the concubines.
To Ma Guan's surprise, Pin Niu and Concubine Tong didn't lose the chain at all. They both made dim sum and looked serious.
Her eyes wandered around, and she realized that only the imperial concubine hadn't come...
"It's so lively here, Sister Defei, I'm not late, right?" Just as I was thinking, I heard the voice of the noble concubine, who was late with the support of the maid, and she was still covering her belly with one hand , I really show off my happiness all the time.
Ma Guan was helpless, this person only came at this time, did he want to be the finale?But a buffet, is this necessary?
"I have seen the imperial concubine." Ma Yuan said calmly, "The empress came at the right time, and we are just getting started."
"That's good, I'm still worried that I'll be late and spoil your interest." The noble concubine raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"What is the imperial concubine talking about? It's an honor for everyone to join us." Seeing that the maid behind her was also holding some ingredients, she said, "Please come here, the imperial concubine. There are still three stoves left. The empress can Pick one."
"Well, let's just have this one on the side." The imperial concubine winked, and the maid behind her immediately put the ingredients on it, and then started to light the fire.
The imperial concubine was not in a hurry to cook, but looked around the square, and said with a smile: "Sisters are very familiar with each other, I am afraid that I have practiced a lot for today's banquet. This palace will not be complete, only some simple I hope you don’t make a fool of yourself for a while.”
"My sister is being modest. I heard that my sister learned how to make dim sum from De Fei's sister. She must be very good at making dim sum. My sister is still waiting to taste the delicious food made by my sister." Concubine Tong is not far away. The concubine's face was not very good-looking when she poked the concubine's scar.
She learned how to make dim sum from Concubine De?Isn't this ironic that she is not as good as Concubine De?
That's all, who doesn't know that when she punished Concubine De to kneel under the pretense of learning how to make dim sum, the emperor came here to find someone and reprimanded her?
Concubine Tong was clearly trying to embarrass her on purpose.
"My sister was joking. I remember that my sister learned a good cooking skill. When she was still at home, she learned how to cook a lot." The imperial concubine replied coldly, and it was Concubine Tong who changed her face.
The concubine's words reminded her of that humiliating time, the family didn't let her learn to cook at all, even if she was a concubine, she was also a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, so why would she need to do these things?It was the imperial concubine who deliberately made things difficult for her and humiliated her. She didn't end her life like that until the imperial concubine entered the palace.
Seeing the sisters bickering and exposing each other's scars, Ma Guan and Concubine Hui looked at each other. This pair of sisters is a bit interesting, and they actually started fighting.
Seeing that Concubine Tong didn't speak any more, Concubine Gui raised the corners of her lips triumphantly, and started making snacks with a triumphant smile.
Everyone took action, and Ma Guan and Concubine Hui also joined the battlefield.Because Ma Guan was pregnant, it was not suitable to stand for a long time, so she did not choose to make snacks.After letting the maids handle the ingredients, they made a fried guinea fowl.
She has not lost her culinary skills over the years, and she cooks a few dishes by herself from time to time, so when she showed her skills today, she attracted the attention of countless people.
Looking at her movements like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the gorgeous beauty in her gestures, everyone couldn't help but feel ashamed, Defei is the only one who cooks.
Ma Guan was the latecomer, and he was the first to finish it, which put great pressure on everyone.
As time went by, more and more people finished cooking, and by noon, most of them had already finished cooking.
Kangxi was also busy with government affairs, and took Liang Jiugong out of Xinuang Pavilion.
"The emperor is here." With the sound of a message, everyone quickly saluted and greeted.
When Kangxi came to the square, he couldn't help smiling when he saw the enthusiastic posture.
"All the concubines have shown their supernatural powers, I am lucky today."
The imperial concubine was the closest to him, and she said with a smile: "Guess what the emperor did for the emperor?"
"Well, it should be dim sum." Kangxi came to her stove, sniffed a sweet aroma, and said with a smile, "I guess it's red bean muffin."
He has eaten this kind of dim sum for many years, and he is very familiar with it.
"Your Majesty is really powerful, so you can guess it." The imperial concubine smiled happily, and lifted the lid of the pot herself, and a pot of hot red bean muffin was officially released.
"Well, it looks very good. I must try one in a while." Kangxi was aroused by gluttons, and he hadn't eaten this food for nearly a month.
"Your Majesty, then guess what the concubine did." Not to be outdone, Concubine Tong stepped forward to take Kangxi's arm and brought him to her side.
The imperial concubine glared at her displeasedly, as if Concubine Tong had never heard of it.
After Kangxi watched Concubine Tong's dim sum, he went to see Ma Quan's. He knew Ma Quan's craftsmanship very well, so he looked forward to her cooking the most among these delicacies.
Seeing a plate of shiny guinea fowl, he couldn't help twitching his index finger: "Aifei's cooking skills are still so excellent, I don't think the ones made by the Imperial Dining Room are as good as your plate."
"Your Majesty has never tasted it, so how do you know it's so good?" Ma Yuan smiled, the Emperor's words were too embarrassing for her.
Kangxi didn't have time to look over one by one, so he asked everyone to put all the delicacies he made on the big round table, and he went to taste each one.
Dozens of dishes were piled up on the table, with candied fruit, pastry and pickles at the front, and steamed, stir-fried vegetables, soups and dim sum at the back.
Although some people are not reconciled to being left behind, after all, they may be full after eating, how can they taste delicious?But most of the banquets are in this order, and it's hard for them to say anything.
"Your Majesty, although the sisters made this dish in public, just in case, the concubine thinks it is necessary to try the dish." Concubine Tong suddenly made a suggestion, although it was a bit reckless, it was also reasonable.
Ma Guan gave her a meaningful look, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Sister Concubine Tong's words are justified, and nothing is more important than the safety of the Emperor."
"That being the case, let's try the dishes." Kangxi did not refuse.
"There's no need to invite someone to try the dishes. It's better to let the cooks try the dishes. If you don't even dare to eat what you cook, then there must be something wrong." Concubine Tong said again.
"Makes sense."
"Anyway, my food is fine."
"mine too."
The concubines talked a lot, and they also thought this idea was good.After all, if you ask a special person to test the dishes, if you eat too many dishes by yourself, even if there is something wrong with the food, you don't know whose dish is wrong.
"Your Majesty, let the sisters try their own dishes, and let everyone taste the taste." Seeing that no one objected, Ma Yuan made a suggestion.
Kangxi nodded slightly, agreeing to this approach.
So the concubine who made the candied fruit began to try the dishes. After eating a piece of candied fruit, Kangxi waited for several minutes before Kangxi moved his chopsticks.
The people behind also try the dishes in order, which saves waiting time.
Every time Kangxi tasted a dish, he would make a comment. Those who were praised were very happy, and those who were slightly deficient sighed secretly, vowing to do better in the future.
The tried dishes are placed on another table, and then everyone will taste them together.
Not long after, Ma Guan also took a bite of the dish she cooked. She had to say that the taste was so good that she wished she could eat it all by herself.
When Kangxi tasted her dish, he smiled for the first time, and praised: "Defei's dish has improved compared with the past, and it is really delicious. In my opinion, it is the best so far."
"Your Majesty, if you say that, this concubine will be proud." Ma Yuan lifted her chin and smiled happily.
"Sister Defei can be proud, who in the palace doesn't know that the dishes you cook are delicious? I will try more later." Concubine Hui echoed with a smile.
It is impossible to say that she is not envious or jealous at all, but she knows how to measure, and when it comes to cooking, no one in the harem can compare to Concubine De.
Others also praised me with one glance, and they all expressed their desire to try Ma Guan's guinea fowl. Before they finished tasting this dish, Ma Guan's guinea fowl was locked in the top three.
The noble concubine rolled her eyes in displeasure, this concubine De is really good at showing off, and the purpose of holding this buffet banquet today is to show off, right?
Kangxi continued to taste the food, and praised a plate of bergamot golden rolls.
"Who made this dish? It's not bad."
"Going back to the emperor, it was done by the concubine." Niu Concubine's voice came from behind, and the people in front of her quickly moved out of the way.
Ma Guan and the others were surprised, why did Concubine Niu hide so far behind?According to her temperament, shouldn't she be at the forefront?I always feel that since returning from hunting last year, Concubine Niu has changed a little, becoming more low-key and restrained.
Kangxi also showed surprise, nodded and said: "This dish is not bad, Concubine Niu has made progress."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Concubine Niu thanked her with a faint smile.
When Kangxi continued to taste the next dish, Ma Guan saw that Niu pin covered her mouth and frowned, as if she was a little uncomfortable, and deliberately avoided it.
Ma Guan was puzzled, is this concubine Niu sick?
But before she got to the bottom of it, she saw the imperial concubine coming forward, picking up a piece of red bean sponge cake and feeding it into her mouth, it was her turn to try the dishes.
Judging by the appearance of the red bean sponge cake, it is actually not bad, the imperial concubine has used her real kung fu today.
Kangxi began to taste the soup, such as chicken soup, pigeon soup and tremella soup, there are always six or seven kinds.
When he tasted the tremella soup, Kangxi praised again: "This soup is good."
"Your Majesty, this soup is made by my concubine." Concubine Yi walked forward with a smile.
"Well, Concubine Yi's skills are also good..."
"Ouch……"
Before Kangxi finished boasting, there was a scream from the side, and the imperial concubine's face turned red, and she screamed as she tightly covered her stomach with both hands.
Everyone was startled, the first reaction was that the imperial concubine had been poisoned, they immediately took two steps back in shock, fearing that they would be involved.
"What's going on?" Kangxi's complexion changed slightly, he got up and supported the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine was so painful that tears came out, her whole body was blushed, her face was so red that it seemed to be bleeding.
"Tell the imperial doctor." Ma Yuan was also taken aback, and immediately decided to ask the imperial doctor.
Is the imperial concubine really poisoned?Impossible!Who would be stupid enough to put poison in their own food?
But the current situation of the imperial concubine is indeed very similar to being poisoned. Could it be that someone secretly put poison in the imperial concubine's dessert?But how did you do it under the watchful eyes of everyone?
"Ouch...the concubine is in so much pain...your majesty, the concubine is so uncomfortable...it seems like a fire is burning..." The imperial concubine cried bitterly, feeling aggrieved.
"Why is this happening? Could it be that my sister can't eat red bean muffin cake?" Concubine Tong looked worried, and suddenly said in a low voice, "Or is this snack poisonous?"
The author has something to say: Cough, the imperial concubine does not know how to bring dogs here...
