The story of the salted fish concubine raising cubs in Qing Dynasty

Kangxi listened to the crown prince's recitation of Mingxuan's description of Suo'etu, and the smile on his face continued to expand.

After Yinfeng finished speaking, he fell asleep in seconds, but Kangxi couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Suo'etu must have never expected that he would send some gadgets to bribe Baocheng from time to time, hoping to get closer to Baocheng, but there was such a sober person behind him who was trying to hold him back.

Kangxi is very satisfied with this, he is definitely the most important existence in his son's heart, anyone who instigates his son not to get close to him is a bastard.

There are some things that Kangxi doesn't want to say, because most of the important officials in the court are like this, but it doesn't mean he is used to seeing them.

If the sons and heirs are not good, what is bad is the family business of the ancestors.

Manchurians have been here for a long time, and they have forgotten the days when they were on horseback, and future generations indulge in enjoying it. If things go on like this, it is very likely that they will roll back to the grassland.

It's hard to be an emperor, it's really hard!The more he knows and the more he sees, the more he can't help but think deeply. Kangxi decided early on that his sons could be wolves or tigers in the future, but they must not be drunken bastards.

If Baocheng has a group of brothers like wolves and tigers, Kangxi was looking at the dragon bed in a big character shape, and Baocheng who drove his Khan Ama aside, lowered his head and touched his forehead.

He believes that his domineering prince will be the final victor, it must be!Must be too!

The prince whom I have worked so hard to raise must be the most outstanding one!No one can compare!

Yinfeng slept so soundly, Kangxi reached out and pushed his arms and legs in, lay down quickly, and then covered him with the quilt.As soon as I stretched out my hand, I felt that the little guy rolled into my arms, so I closed my eyes in satisfaction.

Suo'etu went back to investigate, and soon found out that Nalan Rongruo persuaded his father and brother to replace the grandchildren born in the family, and the whole family and even all the in-laws selected two children who were said to be very intelligent.

After confirming that what Ming Xuan said was correct, he went back to find his elder brother and directly talked about the Nalan family.

It is conceivable that there must be a lot of opposition.

After a night of flying around, Suo'etu rubbed his head tiredly, and walked towards the court with heavy steps.

Full of dissatisfaction, but no way to vent, all the brains and luck of his elder brother in this life is probably to give birth to two smart girls.

Because of these two girls, she became a first-class Cheng En Gong, and I will respect her for the rest of my life.

At about the same age, my girl thinks about jewelry and clothes all day long, just thinking about it makes me angry!

At the gate of the palace, when Nalan Mingzhu greeted him, she just nodded, not in the mood to respond.

In the hall, Kangxi saw Suo'etu, who was listless but with clear eyes, and the corners of his lips twitched.

The companions of the Hesheli family changed, and Suoetu even chose two good boys at last, even at the expense of offending his in-laws.

It is a pity for him that in Nuoda's Hesheli Mansion, there are more than a dozen sons and daughters, but they can't choose one who can make him look good?

"From now on, all three-year-olds will start enlightenment, and six-year-olds will officially enter school without delay...Brother, if you don't agree, let's separate!" Suo'etu was almost dizzy, and directly threw down harsh words .

After the assessment, there are still ten-year-old heirs who don't even memorize the Three Character Classic, only know how to play, and even want to play with women?

How many generations is this?

This time, Suo'etu really found out, how much mess did Ama leave for him back then?

Suo'etu became angry, and even separated a yard for his descendants to study, and even made harsh words, saying that he was ignorant, so in the future, let alone Hesheli's descendants, even Kabula would have nothing to say said.

It's his eldest grandson who misses women at the age of ten, and he feels a little ashamed of being so embarrassing.

Calling the patriarch, Suo'etu also reprimanded him severely, and told him directly that the family studies should be reorganized, and if you don't study, you should go to martial arts. In the future, the family will only support talented people.

Suo'etu, who has all the contacts of Ama, is no longer the bastard who was not valued at the beginning.He strongly ordered everyone to obey him.

When all this was done, Suo'etu suddenly heard the eldest brother and sister-in-law say that the lady in the palace is going to celebrate her birthday, so I can give you 1000 taels of silver.

Taking a deep breath, he didn't have the energy to argue with them anymore, so Suo'etu went to the warehouse to pick out valuable valuables, plus 1000 taels of gold, and sent them in.

Ming Xuan was stunned when she suddenly received a big gift from her family, and only after being reminded did she want to celebrate her birthday?

Birthday?

It just so happened that the birthday cake was almost ready, so Ming Xuan wanted to bring the crown prince to have a big meal, and it was done!

"Although it's my birthday, this is for you. Your companion will enter the palace in a few days. Your Highness must taste it first? When they ask, Your Highness will blow it for me." Mingxuan covered Yinreng's eyes, and after putting the cake away, she let go and said with a smile.

Yinfeng blinked, this cake is so big and beautiful, there are also flowers and brightly colored fruits, grapes, yellow peaches and indescribable pieces of fruit.And candles...

Why are there candles?Yinfeng doesn't quite understand it, but it's really beautiful!

The white place on it also reads, I wish Yinfeng happiness and happiness.

It's obviously my aunt's birthday, but Yinreng feels happier than her own birthday. He wrote a birthday letter to his aunt, but it seems that he can't do it.

"These are all made for Baocheng, but only for Baocheng?" Yinfeng asked, looking at the huge pastry in front of him with bright eyes.

Mingxuan said, "It's impossible that you are the only one who has this? It's impossible that the imperial dining room will not be given to you, Khan Ama and the Empress Dowager."

After finishing speaking, Ming Xuan continued: "But this pattern was designed by me, and you are the only authentic one."

When Yinfeng heard this, his face became even more joyful.He laughed and asked, "How do you brag to others? What are you bragging about?"

Mingxuan looked at the big cake and said, "I'm thinking, we both have some spare money, and I still have a few shops under my name, I will open a pastry shop later, and earn money, which will be given to the emperor and empress dowager in the future Don’t be cautious when giving gifts. Just tell them that this is delicious and difficult to make.”

Money is something that no one thinks too much. Kangxi can sell ice cubes to make money, so opening a cake shop by himself is not too much, right?

"It's not appropriate to compete with the people for profit." Yinreng looked at the pastry, and when he thought of sharing it with the whole world, he was not too happy, so he rolled his eyes and said.

Mingxuan was speechless after hearing the words, these words were just to deceive the children, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had more business.Besides, wouldn't it work under the name of a slave?

Of course, the prince is unwilling to do this, so let's put it on hold for now.

He directed him to blow out the candle, which was also a very thin candle that she asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make for her. It was wrapped with a clean white cloth strip and inserted into the cake without fear of getting dirty.

"Close your eyes, make a wish, and then blow out the candle." Seeing that the candle was burning fast, Ming Xuan urged.

Yinfeng closed his eyes, silently made a wish in his heart, hoping that his aunt would treat him well all his life, and only treat himself well, and then blew out the candle.

The fruit on the cake is sweet and soft, and my aunt said it was boiled with rock sugar water.Even beautiful flowers melt in your mouth.

No child can resist the temptation of the cake, Yinfeng knew how to restrain himself in the past, but today he is so happy, apart from eating half a bowl of longevity noodles with Mingxuan, he just got on with the cake.

Such a big and beautiful cake was specially designed for him by his aunt. It is really... so delicious and so pleasing!

In the end, Mingxuan saw that he had eaten a lot, so she stopped him and distributed the rest to the palace servants.

"What do you give them to eat? Gu Mingri..." Yinfeng said a little unhappy watching the cake being divided.

Ming Xuan cast a glance at him, and said, "Didn't you tell me to restrain yourself in the past? Besides, this food is not durable. If you want to eat it in the future, you can go to the imperial dining room, but it is better to eat less sweets. You are allowed to eat it once a month." .”

"Why?" Sweets are bad?why not?

Ming Xuan said bluntly: "If you eat too much sugar, you will become stupid. I just ate too much sugar when I was a child, so I am not very smart. Otherwise, I wouldn't forget so many things now."

Anyone who knows that he will time travel, is still a waste prince and aunt, and has such a good relationship with him, must recite his life verbatim.

By the way, study the structure of the ship, the method of making cement glass, if it still fails, it will be convenient for him to escape in the future.

Now I have almost forgotten the steps of a cake that I have personally made several times, and I can’t understand the English book at all. It must be the reason why I drank too much medicine and ate too much sugar when I first traveled.

Thinking of this, Ming Xuan felt a little sorry for Yinfeng.well!Forget it or not, just take one step at a time!

If it doesn't work, I still want to be abolished, so I will go and be circled with him.

Anyway, there are farms to live on, where is the salted fish lying down?

What a touching aunt's love!She was touched by herself.

become stupid?

Yinfeng wanted to say that his aunt was not so stupid, but seeing her sad expression, he didn't dare to say more, drinking the hawthorn water for digestion, nodded in agreement, and he would eat less sugar in the future.

On the same day that the Imperial Dining Room made the double-layer cake that Mingxuan wanted, it was ready and sent to Kangxi and the Empress Dowager.

The finished product is quite amazing. As early as the chicken cake and honey cake were made, the imperial dining room had no complaints about the concubine of Yongshou Palace.

When the cream cake was made, even the chef who was best at making dim sum in the Imperial Dining Room was stunned. The taste and color of this cake will definitely be indispensable to the women in the palace in the future.Always feel that your status is somewhat threatened?

At this time, Mingxuan specially ordered ten boxes of 60 yuan five-nut mooncakes from Yushanfang to give away.Suo'etu gave such an important birthday gift, and the little prince even wrote his birthday speech carelessly.

The Empress Dowager and the concubines also gave gifts to Ming Xuan.

But Kangxi didn't say anything, but asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give him 200 taels of silver as usual, and a year's salary as a reward from the emperor.

The extent of being stingy and stingy made Mingxuan feel that more than a dozen eggs a day was a bit of a loss, and it should be more than twenty!

So taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to send something to her natal family, Mingxuan continued to say nothing. After all, with her status as a concubine, she had to spend some man's money.

Immediately after receiving the request from Yongshou Palace, the dim sum chef in the Imperial Dining Room began to bake a batch and sent it over for Ming Xuan to taste.

Wuren moon cake, eternal god!

In the era when there was no saccharin, Ming Xuan was taken down by the imperial chef's five-nut mooncakes. The skin was thin and filled with lots of fillings, it was delicious, and there were exquisite patterns on it. Even cakes couldn't compare to it.

If future generations are at this level, Wuren mooncakes are definitely a must-have for every household, who would be willing to give them away?

For the first time, Yongshou Palace issued the first reward since entering the palace, which was a full ten taels of silver.

In the evening, when Liang Jiugong came to pick up the crown prince, he gave Mingxuan two heavy boxes, which were filled with delicate jewelry and jade bracelets.Mingxuan looked at the things piled up together, no matter how she looked at them, she felt that they were worthless.

Yinreeng looked contentedly at his aunt carrying the bracelet he had given him, and put the one given by Han Ama in the warehouse.

"Shaqima is not your favorite anymore." After the Empress Dowager ate the cake, she also felt that it tasted good. She is old and her teeth are not very good. This cake, including the fruit on it, is soft For this reason, after knowing that Ming Xuan rewarded the imperial chef, he joked with a smile.

Ming Xuan pursed her lips in embarrassment, and then explained: "I have eaten moon cakes at home in the past, but Master Li's craftsmanship is really amazing. The taste is just right, and the heat of the baking is also very good. It is no better than slaves according to the book. The snacks offered by Shang Xia Commander are bad. No, they are much better."

The Empress Dowager looked at the hard mooncakes, but she couldn't understand Mingxuan Anli's heart.

When Nabuqi heard that this thing could be stored for a few months, she went to the imperial dining room and spent 200 taels of silver, ordered 100 pieces, and spent another [-] taels to buy a box, ready to send it back to Horqin.

"It's so expensive!" Ming Xuan couldn't help feeling emotional.

Nabuqi raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay. Last time I ordered the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, it cost me more than 800 taels! It's delicious, but it's so expensive, I can't eat it every day."

Mingxuan looked at her, and for a moment didn't know whether to blame her for not inviting her, or to complain about the black heart of the imperial dining room for accepting so much money?Or you should be envious of the rich man in front of you, more than 800 taels, just dare to order!Even thinking about eating every day?

At the same time, Mingxuan was even more surprised that it was so expensive. Did she know that the Royal Dining Room would cost money for extra items?Didn't expect it to be so expensive?

Na Buqi lives in the Compassionate Ning Palace, which represents the face of the Empress Dowager, even if it costs money, it shouldn't be so much?

"Good money!"

The concubine had a lot of responsibilities, and she wrote a long list in a fancy way, feeling that there were a lot of things, and Ming Xuan was still rubbing against the prince's responsibilities most of the time.

Therefore, except for the rolling expenses at the beginning, he has never paid money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Imperial Kitchen, and he feels at ease, thinking that the other party has taken advantage of it.

Now hearing Nabuqi talk about her daily expenses, Ming Xuan took a deep breath and felt her own poverty again.

Therefore, Mingxuan decided that when she was still protected by the little prince and the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to offend her, she would not spend money if she could.

After all, in the future, she might not only be responsible for her own pension, but also take care of the prince, and even his wives, concubines and children?

It's suffocating just thinking about it.

I just hope that the prince can be more confident and don't get killed. If I am in a hurry, I only want to support him.The standard of living will be lowered if there are too many.

Thinking of it this way, I feel a little bit distressed about the ten taels of silver that was rewarded.

After Mingxuan's birthday, the third day is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Early in the morning, she sent ten boxes of mooncakes out of the palace, and wrote a passionate letter expressing her satisfaction with the chef. The mooncakes were so delicious that she felt happier than a fairy.

"Why are you happier than becoming an immortal?" Gabra asked curiously.

After reading the letter, Zhao Jia said with red eyes and a smile: "Mid-Autumn Festival is a day to appreciate the moon. She feels that she is happier than the fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace, because there are moon cakes to eat."

Gabra was silent for a while, then sighed softly, thinking that her daughter hadn't eaten mooncakes because of poor care in the past?A piece of moon cake made her so happy?

Zhao Jia took the box of mooncakes that she had given to herself, savored it carefully, and raised the corners of her lips.This is indeed the taste my daughter likes, and she can share so much, it seems that she has a really good life.

There was no palace banquet held in the Mid-Autumn Palace, Kangxi just sent some moon cakes and fruits to the palaces, and then he brought his fat son, brother Baoqing who was temporarily taken into the palace, and three princesses to meet the empress dowager say.

"It's delicious, it's not available in Nalan's house." Baoqing was not interested in mooncakes, but the small cakes that appeared on the table today aroused his absolute attention.

Yinfeng pursed his lips, and said calmly: "This is a cake, made by the concubine of Yongshou Palace, for Gu."

Baoqing stared and yelled, "Why is no one doing it for you? It's not fair."

"What happened to Baoqing?" Kangxi turned his head and asked when he heard the movement.

Baoqing pinched the cake in his hand, and it shattered instantly. With red eyes, he said, "Why didn't anyone make a cake for me?"

"The concubine of Yongshou Palace is Baocheng's biological aunt, so it will be better for Baocheng. Baoqing, you also have aunts, and many more." Kangxi said with a smile.

Yinreng stood up, pushed the cake in front of him to Baoqing and said, "I'll eat the lonely one for you."

Baoqing saw that there was none in front of the prince's younger brother, but there were a bunch of them in front of him, scratching his head, the anger dissipated.When I turned around, I planned to ask my aunts, what did I get for myself?

Yinfeng watched him scratch his head with the hand that pinched the cake, and then his head and face, and his body was dirty, so he couldn't bear to look directly at him.

Turning his head and sighing, he sighed with emotion, whether he eats candy or not, it doesn't make much difference, right?

Kangxi was very satisfied with Yinreng's grandeur and restraint. The small cake was served with sweet and sour fruit juice and milk drink, which even the little princesses liked.

Only his own prince took a small piece of moon cake and savored it carefully. His demeanor and temperament are simply a few blocks away from other children.

Mingxuan generously distributed a piece of mooncake to Yongshou Palace, and then asked Chunni Ulan to accompany her to watch the moon and drink.

The fruit wine in the palace tasted mellow, and Ming Xuan ate mooncakes and drank the fruit wine, telling everyone fairy tales.

"There's nothing good about being a fairy. Guanghan Palace doesn't sound like much at first glance." Ulan ate mooncakes for the first time. She was an orphan and a maidservant trained by the Hesheli family. After seeing the happy days today, I couldn't help but listen to the story.

Mingxuan giggled, and wanted to say that the real moon is full of bumps and nothing, but she couldn't explain why she knew it?He laughed and said, "It's better for us to be mortals. Immortals don't eat."

"Immortals or something, isn't the slave girl living a good life now? The slave girl thinks it is best to follow the master. The master has a stutter, so he will never forget us. Is there a better life than this?" Chunni felt a little cool. , hurriedly picked up the cloak on one side and covered Mingxuan, and said seriously.

Ming Xuan scolded with a smile: "You silly girl, you don't even want to be a fairy, you just want to serve people, are you stupid? Let me tell you, if you can be..."

"No, you don't want to be a fairy."

Mingxuan was talking to Chunni, when the Prince's voice suddenly came from behind, she turned her head to see the little guy raised his hands, as if he was sneaking over to scare him, but he couldn't hold back his words.

Ming Xuan hugged the little guy in her arms and asked with a smile, "Why is Your Highness here today?"

Mid-Autumn Festival!How could the prince come here.

Yinreng grabbed Mingxuan's skirt, and said seriously: "Being a fairy, there is no delicious food, and there is no such thing as rolling, there is no... There is no guarantee, it is not good at all."
