Eighth Master cuts leeks in Qing Chuanwen

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Yunxu suddenly stood up, interrupted the conversation of the uncle Yinxuan, and bowed respectfully.

"Oh?" Kangxi said, still benevolent, "Old Ba, why are you congratulating me all of a sudden?"

Although Yunxu was standing at the very end and the most inconspicuous corner of the Qianqing Palace, when he spoke, everyone's gazes "swished" and focused on Yunxu.

Facing such a big scene, Yunyu did not panic, and said calmly: "My son just watched the birthday gift offered by the fourth brother, rice, millet, millet, wheat, and bean. These five grains are not old sesame seeds and rotten millet, but on the contrary. , are all extremely high-grade grains. As the old saying goes, "In the season of wind and rain, the five grains will be plentiful, and the country will be peaceful"... The fourth brother uses this kind of five grains as a birthday gift. , Is the country safe and sound? Naturally, I want to congratulate Huang Ama."

"Well said!" Kangxi burst out laughing, he didn't know whether it was Yinzhen's birthday present that was well presented, or Yunxi's remarks just now, in short, it was to please Kangxi.

Kangxi said again: "Fourth brother, I am very happy that you have thought about this birthday gift."

"Thank you, Emperor Ama." The fourth master Yinzhen cupped his hands in a salute. He had just been made things difficult by the uncle Yinzhen, but he didn't show any panic on his face. Now he was praised by the emperor, but he didn't show any joy on his face. It really is a serious stone Buddha. The eight winds do not move, honor and disgrace do not surprise.

Ding!

【Congratulations!Mission [-] completed! 】

[Congratulations on getting the task 100 reward: Space Points [-]P; [Auto Pickup] function]

Task 100 is very simple, just say a few nice words for the fourth child, and all the [-]P space points and automatic pickup function will be obtained. Yunxuan is very satisfied with this.

Yunxi lowered her left eye, and browsed the favorability for a while. In the favorability column, the fourth master Yinzhen's favorability for her is still very low. Breaking through the negative point, she just helped him speak. It didn't move, didn't even rise a bit.

Yunxi glanced at Yinzhen without a trace, and the fourth master Yinzhen presented a congratulatory gift, and he didn't waste time, and didn't step forward to make a fuss, and walked back very calmly, and sat back on the seat next to Yunxu, during the period and Yunxu's eyes collided, and she sat down without any expression.

Yunxi helped him speak out of the interests of the space mission, and never wanted Yinzhen to thank him for his stature, so Yunhu was not angry at all about the indifference of the fourth brother Yinzhen, and didn't even take it to heart.

Prince Yinreng saw that the fourth child was praised by the emperor, he seemed to be unable to sit still, he should have appeared on the stage, but now he stood up impatiently and hurried forward to avoid being caught by Yinzhen Gu Zi stole the limelight and said repeatedly: "Huang Ama, my son has also prepared a birthday gift!"

Lao Jiu Yinzhen smacked his lips: "It turns out that he has also prepared Western tricks!"

The birthday present presented by the crown prince is not a Western clock, but it is also a Western obsession. It is like a Western music box. When the box is opened, the sound of the music will be revealed. There is also a small wooden figure dancing and writing "Shoubi Nanshan" with a brush. The four big characters are not only Chinese characters, but also Manchu. This birthday gift looks very festive, and the mechanism is exquisite, which can be said to be ingenious.

Yunxu smiled knowingly: "No wonder the crown prince wants to smash your birthday gift. Who in this capital city doesn't know that Lao Jiu likes to buy Western goods the most?"

That's right, the prince "missed" and smashed Lao Jiu Yinzhen's birthday gift. Presumably, he had prepared it long ago, because the prince also prepared Western obstinacy, lest the things prepared by Lao Jiu would conflict with him and rob his own. limelight.

The mechanism box is extremely exquisite, not to mention the people of the Qing Dynasty, even Yunxuan has never seen such an ingenious and exquisite music box. Prince Yinfeng has put in a lot of effort to please the emperor.

However, looking back at the Emperor Kangxi, when he saw this ingenious music box, he just praised in amazement, and then his expression was light, and he couldn't say he was unhappy, but I don't know if it was the illusion of everyone. Not as excited as fourth master Yinzhen's offer of millet just now, as if such an expensive and exquisite music box is not as precious as a handful of millet.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, although Yunhu had been here for two days, but seeing Kangxi's expression, he seemed to understand something.

Now is the time for Kangxi to crack down on factions. Nalan's party is so powerful that Kangxi started to attack with the Nalan clan. Not long ago, he dismissed Nalan Mingzhu, a senior scholar, and handed it over to the guards to retain him at his discretion. Although he didn't kill him, he must have The momentum of Nalan's party is not as good as before.

Many uninformed people think that the Nalan clan has lost the emperor's favor, and they can just take the opportunity to fill the vacancy of the Nalan clan and become the emperor's confidants, but what they don't know is that what the emperor wants is not important ministers, but inaction. A minister, a minister who does not fight or grab.

The more low-key she is at this time, the more the emperor likes it.Just like the fourth master Yinzhen, Yinzhen probably also saw this point, so he gave a handful of dispensable and auspicious millet, indicating that he would not fight or grab.

But those princes who rushed forward to donate gold and silver, instead self-defeating.

The authorities are obsessed, today is the birthday, and it is rare to be able to show it in front of Huang Ama. Many princes did not see through this situation at all. Seeing that the prince was moving, they immediately rushed to present gifts, for fear that the gifts presented in the future would be lacking in originality. , unable to win the favor of the emperor.

Lao Jiu Yinzhen was a little anxious, grabbed Yunxuan's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Myna, myna! When will you give a gift? If you don't give a gift, you will be at the bottom!"

Yun Hu raised her lips and smiled, but she didn't see any anxiety: "This is not called the bottom, it's the top."

"Press, press the stage?" Lao Jiu looked confused.

When everyone was rushing to finish, Yunxu stood up unhurriedly. He was originally gentle and indifferent, and Yunxi's gestures showed no impatience.

Yunhu stepped steadily, walked to the front of the hall, bowed respectfully, and said: "Huang Ama, my son and the ninth younger brother have prepared a birthday gift for Huang Ama, although it is not as exquisite and ingenious as the birthday gift prepared by the other brothers. It's not a rare stubborn idea, but it was made by Erchen and Jiudi."

"Oh?" Kangxi said with a smile: "You and Lao Jiu prepared for me together?"

Prince Yinreng laughed, with the airs of a loving brother, he didn't see the arrogance and meanness of smashing the old nine's birthday ceremony at all, as if he had two faces, and he seemed to have split personalities, and said: "Huang Ama, eighth The younger brother and the ninth brother have a deep bond of brotherhood, preparing a birthday gift for Huang Ama together really makes us ashamed, and I also want to know what the eighth and ninth brothers have prepared by themselves, it is really exciting. "

Lao Jiu glared at Prince Yinreng fiercely, Yunxuan shook his head at him, and Junqian glared angrily, maybe he would be punished for disrespect.

Faced with Prince Yinreng's making things difficult, Yunxu's soldiers did not get angry. The little eunuch in Qianqing Palace stepped forward and lifted an inconspicuous Shihe over his head. Put it in front of Kangxi.

Liang Jiugong is the old man in front of Kangxi, because he is a steady person, talks less and works hard, so he has won the trust of Kangxi, and most of the things are left to Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong opened the lid of the food, Kangxi looked down and couldn't help laughing: "This is... a cold drink?"

The weather in Jichun is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and Kangxi is extremely afraid of heat. When he saw the cold drink steaming in the food box, he felt a little bit moved.

"Cold drink?"

"The old eight gave food and drink?"

"Did you do it yourself? What's the matter?"

Whispering noises resounded in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and the princes whispered to each other. Si Ye Yinzhen, who was sitting at the end, squinted his eyes, and finally cast his gaze over, pausing for a while on the pink Zhizhi berry. , whispering to himself: "It's strawberries again..."

Kangxi smiled and said, "Old Ba, did you make this yourself?"

"Huihuang Ama, that's right." Yunxi bowed and cupped her hands: "This cold drink is called Zhizhiberry."

Yunxuan made Zhizhi berries in Babeile Mansion. Because they were going to be brought into the palace, they were kept iced with a lot of ice cubes. After entering the palace, they were handled by the ministers who managed the ice, and they were also chilled all the way So, I didn't dare to neglect the slightest bit, so Zhizhi Berry didn't melt away.

Before Zhizhi Berry entered the Qianqing Palace, it had already passed many inspections. This was Babeile’s birthday gift to the emperor. happy.

The light pink Zhizhi berries are placed in a transparent glass container, the top is shallow and the bottom is deep, and the red strawberry pulp is slightly precipitated. The moment the food is opened, the coolness of the ice cubes rises faintly, adding a touch of leisurely flavor out of thin air. Fairy and mystery.

It's just a cold drink, it's completely inconspicuous, but what Yunxi wants is this inconspicuous feeling, so that the emperor can feel that he is neither fighting nor grabbing, and doing nothing indifferently.

Yunyu cupped her hands and said: "Huang Ama, there is a way to eat this cold drink. My servant is bold enough to explain it to Huang Ama."

"Interesting." Kangxi has never eaten any delicacies from mountains and seas, and has never seen such a cold drink. The banquet is full of big fish and meat, mainly mutton and beef. What to order, it's rare that Yunxi happened to serve a cold drink.

Kangxi waved his hand and said, "Old Ba, come forward."

"Yes." Yunxu responded, and under the envious gazes of the princes, she stepped up to the stage of the Qianqing Palace Hall step by step, bowed her head, and walked respectfully in front of Kangxi.

"Huang Ama doesn't know that this so-called Zhizhi Berry, a red cold drink, is a mixture of strawberry juice and Longjing. It has both the sweetness of the fruit and the fragrance of tea, and this white cheese The milk cap is poured over the strawberry cool drink when drinking."

As Yunhu said, she gathered her horseshoe and arrow sleeves, gently held up the small dish of cheese milk topping, and poured the rich cheese milk topping on it.

The white and yellowish milk cover "rushes" down like a waterfall, combined with the light pink cold drink, the slight collision stirs up the sweetness of strawberries and the aroma of green tea, and volatilizes in the air of the Qing Palace, causing Kangxi Take two deep breaths.

"This scent...it's so different."

Kangxi couldn't wait to say: "Is it ready to drink?"

Yunxu nodded: "Huang Ama, please drink cold."

All the princes stretched their necks, looking curiously at the cup of Zhizhiberry, which looked like a distant mountain. Even Yinzhen, who was always like a stone Buddha, aroused a little curiosity, and it was inevitable that he took a second look. He thought in his heart, is it possible that Lao Ba can really use his farming space to please the Holy One?

Under the attention of everyone, Kangxi held up the transparent glass cup, with the rich milk cap on top. The first thing Kangxi tasted was the slightly salty and mellow cheese milk cap.The milk cover of Zhizhi Berry is not purely sweet, but there is a hint of saltiness in it. There is an old saying that "if you want sweetness, add some salt", the light salty taste can set off the long sweetness, and can It relieves the greasy taste brought by sweetness, and does not overwhelm the guests, but instead extends the mellow aroma of cheese milk cap.

Kangxi took a sip of the milk cap, and he should have said something, but he didn't speak, instead he took a second sip in a hurry.

Under the milk cover, there is a mixed layer of Zhizhi berry, sweet strawberry, and specially added syrup flavoring, mixed with the bitterness and sweetness of Longjing, the first taste is the unique rich fruity taste of strawberry, followed by syrup The sweetness, followed by the aroma of tea, coupled with the mellow cheese aroma mixed with the milk cover on the upper layer, the taste is layered and progressive, rich and not messy, and every bite is more delicious than one.

Kangxi couldn't put it down, he drank more than half of the cup in one breath, and then he stopped, and let out a breath of cool air, the refreshing feeling spread from the tongue to the throat and stomach, only a refreshing feeling Great words!

Kangxi put down the half-empty cup, looked at the Zhizhiberry glass several times with a regretful look, and said with some hesitation: "Old Ba, this cold drink...is there any more?"

Ding!

[Congratulations, you have won the MVP of this Qianqing Palace family banquet! 】
