Princess, how am I from you?

"The wound is healing very well, but don't be careless, it's better to cultivate for a while."

"Thank you, sir. Then is there any chance for my hand to return to how it used to be?" Guan Xin put on her clothes and thanked the doctor.

The doctor first glanced at Princess Yuzhang at the side, stroked the goatee on his chin, and pondered for a while, "The so-called injury to the bones and muscles for a hundred days, the illness comes like a mountain, and the illness goes like a thread, the girl should not be in a hurry , but if you keep exercising, you will definitely be stronger than now.”

Guan Xin smiled, what the old man said really didn't have any substance.

Yuzhang motioned for Nuanxin Nuanyi to send him out, and seeing Guan Xin who was in a low mood, he wanted to comfort him, but unfortunately she had never learned how to comfort others.Opened his mouth, and finally said, "It is God who makes things happen, and people who plan things. If you haven't tried it, you don't know if it will succeed. Don't be discouraged."

Guan Xin tried to make a fist with his right hand, and he was able to make a fist, but he couldn't use enough strength to hold it tightly. Hearing Yuzhang's comfort, he laughed directly, "Ha, Your Highness is really not good at comforting people as always. , It’s too bureaucratic, but don’t worry, I won’t give up.”

Yuzhang was a little annoyed, annoyed that Guan Xin would expose her on the spot, causing embarrassment.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed, Guan Xin stepped forward and held Yuzhang's fingers with his right hand, "I can still hold your hand, although it has no strength, but I will not give up the right to use it to hold your hand .”

A wave of love words was thrown out, successfully causing Yuzhang's pretty face to flush, pretending to be angry, and quickly withdrew his finger and hid it in his sleeve, "Don't push yourself too hard."

Guan Xin smiled nonchalantly, real anger and fake anger could be seen immediately, it was just at the end of the blow, "Okay, okay, let me restrain myself. I heard you talking about Princess Wencheng with the fifth princess yesterday, is she going to Tibet?" ?”

"You have something to say?"

Guan Xin moved his shoulder and squeezed it. Although the wound seemed to heal, it always felt sore. "How can there be so many talks, just asking, I heard that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month will leave, right? Does the court have to give a dowry?"

"That's natural." Yuzhang got up and went to pick up the kettle from the stove.

Guan Xin watched as Yuzhang poured water and twisted the towel. The hot water scalded her fingers as if they were dancing in the basin. When would this delicate and expensive princess do it herself? "What are you doing, let me come."

"It's okay, sit down and expose your shoulders." Yuzhang stopped Guan Xin's intention and ordered directly.

The corners of Guan Xin's mouth turned up, "Oh." It turned out that she was going to give her a hot compress. Her Royal Highness is becoming more and more virtuous. She said that she should not push her forward, but the actual action is another matter.She gave full marks to this wave of duplicity.

"What are you asking for?" Yu Zhang put the wrung hot towel on Guan Xin's shoulder, avoiding the wound.The trauma had already healed, but the scars on the front and back that were the size of a baby's fist were still so obvious, and it was only then that a new layer of pink flesh appeared.Fortunately, Guan Xin's health is in good condition. If it were her, she might not be able to survive.

"Hiss, hoo, it's comfortable." Guan Xin closed his eyes and let out a long breath, the soreness relieved a lot in an instant, it was so warm and comfortable.The left hand quietly climbed up her shoulder, grabbed one of the hands on her shoulder, and shook it, "I'm curious, I'm curious about what we will send to Tibet. Life there is definitely not richer than ours here, without a little Okay, isn't our delicate princess going to suffer in the past?"

This time, Yuzhang did not reject Guan Xin's tricks, and let her hold it there. When the handkerchief was not too hot, he shook off the paw and then soaked it and wrung it back out. The paw would still crawl over, play Sexuality suddenly arises, and she deliberately avoids it a little bit. When she comes over, she avoids it, almost every time.This childish little game is not over until the whole hand is caught.With the other hand, gently knead and massage through the warm veil, "The dowry items are naturally decided by the father and the officials. This marriage is originally intended to promote exchanges between the two states and share peace. I think there will be many things. "

While enjoying Yuzhang's thoughtful service, Guan Xin recalled the content of this incident, but it was a pity that she only knew the appearance, not the inside, and only remembered the time of marriage. word spread.It's just that she feels that she can do something to seek some benefits for the people of this dynasty.And between countries, the most important thing is peace.People who are not of my race must have a different heart. In my impression, Li Shimin's period was pretty good, and there were almost no wars, but in the empress's time, Tubo began to be less peaceful. Back then, there was a must-watch TV for the empress, and some of them talked about During the battle of Tuyuhun between Qing and Longshuo, what she wanted to do for the empress would not necessarily change the outcome, but she hoped that it would not be so difficult for her when she was an empress, and it was also for her own sake, oh, Li Chengqian, The hatred of the hands-off will never be forgotten. "Seeing that it's going to be the twelfth lunar month, you can make an arrangement, let's go to the palace someday, didn't you promise your father to cook him a delicious meal last time, my injury is healed, and I should honor it Promise, otherwise your father will think that I am a person who breaks my promise."

"If you don't mention it, I'm going to tell you that it will be Concubine Wei's birthday in a few days, and my father has always loved Wei Shi very much. This time, my father wants to invite you to be the chef at the birthday party. , I was worried about your injury, and I never told you, since you have basically recovered now, then you should do it."

"Okay, you should, then tell me, how many people will you have, and what is the size of the banquet, so that I can order the dishes according to the number of people, and I have to go to the restaurant and bring some condiments , The ones that I am used to, may not be complete when I think about it in the palace, and I have to bring an assistant in, just Mrs. Zhang, she is familiar with my habits." Guan Xin thought for a while, and asked some questions that she could think of first. come out. "Oh, by the way, our rapeseed oil is selling well now. All major restaurants and restaurants in Chang'an City have ordered it, and many princes' mansions also order it. If the palace wants to use rapeseed oil this time, I will squeeze it Can the oil technology not be given?"

After thinking about it for a while, Yuzhang understood what Guan Xin was worried about, and she had no right to ask Guan Xin to hand over his technology. If he handed it over, the advantage of the restaurant would be reduced. "Well, you can sell it at a price by the catty. You can discuss it with Sister tomorrow."

"Alright, with what you said, I'm relieved. Then please talk about the scale, Your Highness the Princess."

Yuzhang took off the handkerchief, tidied up Guan Xin's clothes, and said, "It's just a family banquet. Excluding the father, there are concubines above the third rank and a group of children and relatives. The number of people does not exceed 50. The father has always I advocate frugality, so for such a family banquet, six dishes and one soup are enough, as for the portion, I will have the imperial chefs to master it, and they are all experienced."

Guan Xin clucked his tongue when he heard this, he really had a great career and a great fortune, this is still just a family banquet, it seems to be very ordinary from what Yuzhang said, thanks to the emperor, otherwise it would cost a lot of money to raise these mouths .

On the eighteenth day of the winter month, Yuzhang took Guan Xin and Tang Jianri out to the palace early.The family banquet was at night, but Guan Xin needed to prepare the dishes. Yuzhang was worried that she would be alone in the palace, so he had to accompany her. Anyway, she was in the palace, so she could deal with it in time if something happened.

"Wow, it really isn't cold when it snows, it's cold after snow, and the temperature has reached another level." Guan Xin wrapped the big cloak he gave her with the Yuzhang he was wearing around her body, and she missed the down jacket so much.Looking back at Yuzhang's equipment, mink fur hat, earmuffs, fox fur neckerchief, cloak, mink fur gauntlets and a hand stove, there are not many of them, it's done, let's go.

Guan Xin brought packs of condiments, two jars of rapeseed oil, and a cook to help the kitchen. When he came to the imperial dining room, several master chefs in charge of the spoons and the little eunuchs had already stood in a line waiting. with.They have already received the emperor's order, and they must fully cooperate with Guan Xin in today's banquet.These master chefs have long wanted to compete with Guan Xin. They also tried the food and wine in Juxian Building. The taste was indeed better than their current level. They also tried it when they came back, but the taste was always inferior. They were all very happy to be able to discuss with her today, especially when they knew that Guan Xin is a master who only speaks but not hands, they are even more happy. If she doesn't do it, it means they are the ones who do it. Isn't it simple?

Since thrift is advocated, drinking is a must at banquets, so these six dishes must be refreshing and not too greasy to accompany the wine, and they must be loved by both men and women, suitable for all ages.The fly in the ointment is that there are almost no green vegetables that can be used in winter. Fortunately, she has pickled sauerkraut in the restaurant and the princess mansion. The sauerkraut blood sausage in the Northeast is boiled with white meat. Don't be too cool.The menu was already listed in advance yesterday, six dishes and one soup, what she needs to do now is to prepare all the ingredients needed in advance, change the knife to change the knife, deep-fry the deep-fried one, and put it on the pan in advance if it is stewed in advance, Zhang The role of my sister-in-law is to teach the bakery chef in the Imperial Dining Room how to make some small cakes and longevity noodles. Longevity noodles must be eaten for a birthday party. Although the staple food is generally not eaten at the banquet, there should be children participating. If others don't say it, Tang Jianrichang Sun Yan must be there. She can't let her little one go hungry.

After a busy day, there are not many categories, but they can’t handle large quantities. The Tang Dynasty generally had a small table sharing system, that is, they had a strong sense of hierarchy, and each person had a small table. Like this kind of banquet, there may be one table for each family. One dish must be served on every table. Li Shimin has 21 sons and 35 daughters. Even if they are young and unmarried, they can have a table of two. At least [-] servings must be prepared, plus those For concubines, the emperor will have a portion for himself, and Concubine Wei will have a portion for herself. In short, according to the suggestion of the imperial chef, a total of [-] portions is almost enough.Looking at the batches of semi-finished products, Guan Xin looked around, feeling like he was in a large market for semi-finished products.Fortunately, there are not too many samples. Her six dishes and one soup are braised mutton, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish, roast beef with cumin, sauerkraut meat, and a good dish to go with wine, cold pig ears.Her one meal will kill many pigs.It's all meat, there is no way, there are really no vegetables to use.As for the soup, it was pig's feet and yam soup. Except for the sauerkraut, she had eaten Yuzhang before, and she had no objection to this arrangement.

The imperial chefs are all experienced battles, and they are also veterans who have been immersed in cooking for many years. Before cooking in the evening, Guan Xin explained the precautions. When she officially started cooking, she also kept cooking. Instruct the method and put in the seasoning at the side. As for things like the heat, the imperial kitchen can handle it at all.

Although it was the first time to cooperate, Guan Xin finally let go of his heart after the preparatory work was done well.She couldn't enter the banquet venue, so she simply asked the royal chefs to cook a few more dishes in the kitchen, and sat down to eat with everyone who had been busy all day.

The imperial chefs are also happy to chat with Guan Xin more, and hope that she can say more about the recipes and precautions of the food. They can predict that after today's family feast, their so-called proud dishes before You can retreat to the second line.

Unfortunately, before she moved her chopsticks, an eunuch came over and sent a message to Guan Xin to go to the front of the hall to receive the reward, rubbing her hungry stomach and following behind the eunuch helplessly.Linde Hall is a place specially used by Li Shimin to hold banquets. The room is very spacious. Once inside, although Guan Xin can't look around with her head down, she can see from the corner of her eye that there are people on both sides, and these people are holding Looking at her, he stopped at a similar position and bowed his knees to salute. "Guan Xin, the daughter of the people, sees His Majesty the Emperor, and wishes the imperial concubine and empress health and happiness, and eternal youth."

"Excuse me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Guan Xin stood up straight, slipped away from the corner of her eye, and finally spotted Yuzhang's table when her eyes almost fell off. The two children sat at the same table, while Tang Shanshi and Chang Sun Chong sat together.An unfriendly look came from the upper left, and there was no one else who had such a big enmity with her except Li Chengqian.

"Raise your head up, and let Ben Gong see, such delicious food, what kind of girl can have the ability to turn decay into magic."

Guan Xin raised her head obediently, and instantly met a pair of beautiful eyes. A very dignified and noble lady was sitting within Li Shimin's reach, looking over with a smile.Guan Xin guessed that this is today's birthday star Wei Guifei. According to visual inspection, she is about 40 years old. She should pay great attention to maintenance at ordinary times. Her facial skin is very white, tender and firm. Guan Xin has never been stingy with smiles, so she responded with a bright and innocent smile. This is her special skill, especially when dealing with women of this age.

"Yoyo, what a smart and handsome little beauty, I can't tell, Liu Niang is very lucky to have such a skill at such a young age."

Concubine Wei beckoned to Guan Xin, signaling her to go over.Guan Xin glanced at Yuzhang subconsciously, then stood beside Concubine Wei Gui in shame and timidity, and saw the maid behind Concubine Wei handing over a small tray with a pair of jade bracelets inlaid with gold.

"Today's delicacy, I like it very much, this is my thank you gift, you can accept it with peace of mind."

"No, no, no." Guan Xin waved his hands again and again, "Minnv can't ask for such an expensive gift from the empress, you are His Majesty's noble concubine, and you are also the elders of His Highness, Minnv is the attendant of the sixth princess, do your best for her elders It's all due, I can't thank you, there will be a bowl of longevity noodles later, Minnv wishes you youthful and always smiling."

"This little mouth is so sweet, it's so cute." Concubine Wei took Guan Xin's hand and patted it happily, "Hurry up and accept this thing, if you don't accept it, it's because you think this gift is too light."

Guan Xin cast her eyes on Yuzhang's table for help. Yuzhang received Guan Xin's request for help, and replied with a smile, "Since it's the empress's wish, you can keep it. Hurry up and thank the empress."

Guan Xin happily took the tray, bent over at a [-]-degree angle, "Minister, thank you for your reward." When she looked up again, her eyes were bent with a smile, and anyone who wasn't blind could tell that this person was very happy.

"Go down and teach those imperial chefs more, otherwise, after eating this meal today, how can I eat the things they make in the future?"

"Yes, Minnv resigns." She grinned happily at Yuzhang and Changle, and walked out of the palace door with the reward in hand.The moment he stepped out the door, the upturned corners of his mouth returned to their original position.He took a deep breath, there were too many people staring at him, it was really stressful.I looked at the two bracelets, but there was no place to put them, so I just wore them on my wrists, not to mention, they looked pretty.

"Congratulations girl for getting the reward."

Guan Xin hadn't gone far with the tray when he saw the future Empress standing not far away holding a palace lantern. She was wearing a white cloak and a ring of fiery red fluff around her neck, setting off her delicate and charming face. Gu Pansheng Hui Hui's eyes, the moment he saw her, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, Guan Xin was in a super happy mood, and he walked two steps quickly, "I have met Wu Cairen, but I haven't had time to thank Wu Cairen for his kindness last time."

"The girl herself has a lucky star, it has nothing to do with Mei Niang."

Guan Xin showed a tacit smile to the future empress, "It's cold at night, why is Zairen standing here, is he waiting for someone? Be careful not to catch a cold."

"I'm waiting for you. It's rare for you to enter the palace, why don't we take a walk? Take you around, there will be a while before the banquet ends."

"Okay." Guan Xin actually wanted to eat more, after a long day of exhaustion.But the future Her Majesty the Queen invites, if you are not hungry to death, you have to go.And the two of them are not familiar with each other, maybe they have something to say.

Wu Meiniang held a palace lantern in her hand, and the lantern swayed, illuminating a three-foot radius around her.In fact, if you are in the dark, you can see nothing, except the people around you. A little further away is the dark night.She came out to stop here on purpose, just to talk to her, last time she had a feeling that this Guan Xin seemed to be extraordinarily enthusiastic towards her.

Guan Xin and Wu Meiniang walked side by side, and couldn't help being excited.God, she, Guan Xin, is actually walking side by side with China's future only female emperor. Alas, I'm so excited. Although Her Majesty is still a talented person, it doesn't affect her unparalleled status in my heart. I'm so excited. How can I look around, and I can't see anything around.

"Girl has been tired all day, and now she walks like this, can she bear it?" You can't keep silent, but you should find some topics to talk about.

"Actually, it's okay. I didn't do anything. I always use my mouth but not my hands in the kitchen. Besides, I can't do much with my arm now." Guan Xin replied quickly, and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for your concern." , but having said that, is Cai Ren so considerate and caring for every ordinary person who comes into the palace?" The last time Wu Meiniang went to give a reward, Guan Xin really didn't think there was anything wrong at first, it was Yuzhang who understood his meaning first, and later Guan Xin reacted accordingly, and luckily he took precautions in advance, otherwise Guan Xin might have been completely cold during the last assassination.

"How could it be, this is the imperial palace, how could the common people come in so easily, even if there were, it has nothing to do with me, but for some reason, the first time I met you, I felt that I was very close to you, so I specifically asked Your Majesty Going to give a reward is just to say a few more words with you. Maybe this is fate, how about this, we sisters are well matched, I am only 16 years old this year, but the girl is much older than me, always If you call me a talented person, I feel that I am called old, otherwise, I will call the girl my sister, and when I enter the palace, the emperor will give me the name Meiniang, how about my sister calling me Meiniang?" Wu Meiniang stopped holding the lantern, facing Looking at Guan Xin, she was a little coquettish and playful.

Of course, Guan Xin is willing to do so. To be able to address the Queen herself by this name is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in her eyes. Of course, she does not want to let it go. This is probably the wish of all Queen fans. Today she fulfilled it. Are you excited?

"It's not good to be heard by others. I'm just a commoner, so how can I call you by your first name?" Guan Xin pretended to evade, showing her little bit of reserve.

"It's fine if there are no outsiders. For example, at this moment, there are only you and me, I don't mind, you can just call me." Wu Meiniang has always been Wu Meiniang, even before she became stronger, there was a bit of strength in her bones.

"Then I'm not being polite." Guan Xin had used up all the reserve she had just now, "Meiniang, hehe, it's really nice." After shouting, she couldn't help laughing. look straight at.

Wu Meiniang happily agreed, and also laughed.She said that this man treated her differently, it was just a name, and she was so happy. "Meiniang has another question. Meiniang feels like old friends at first sight with her sister. What about my sister? Meiniang thinks her sister is also very warm to Meiniang? Does my sister feel like old friends at first sight like Meiniang?"

Guan Xin hummed for a long time, hooked his fingers at Wu Meiniang in a serious manner, and when she got close, he leaned into her ear and said, "Because of you, you are beautiful. Haha." Seeing that Her Majesty the Queen was a little surprised and disbelieving, she said He returned to a serious look, "Really, but beauty is one aspect. I remember you smiled at me in the Taiji Hall. Just that moment, I think we might be good friends. Maybe it's the fate you said. I think you catch the eye. Have Mei Niang eaten dinner, let's go and take you to eat something delicious."

Wu Meiniang actually ate it, it was not her turn to attend the dinner, and she didn't need her to accompany her today, she had a lot of free time, of course she ate it at this time, but it seemed that Guan Xin hadn't eaten yet, good Being understanding, she would of course choose a more appropriate answer, "Not yet, I found out today that my sister is coming to cook delicious food, so of course I have to keep my stomach waiting."

"Then you have something to eat. Let's go. I'll make you some hot and sour soup alone. You've been standing outside for so long. Drink some soup to get rid of the cold."

"Okay." Wu Meiniang felt a warm feeling in her heart, maybe it was really fate, Guan Xin's thoughtfulness made her feel the warmth that she had not seen for a long time.Why did she enter the palace with all her heart, a large part of the reason was the cold reception she and her mother suffered, those two half-brothers, hehe, how could there be such a warm word, so she wanted to enter the palace, she wanted to stand out, Let those who have looked at her coldly look up to her.

When Guan Xin brought Wu Meiniang to the imperial dining room, the imperial cooks were still waiting for her to come back to eat, and did not eat first.This made Guan Xin feel very sorry, and hurriedly apologized, "I didn't expect that the masters are still waiting for me, I'm really sorry, you eat first, and I'll make another bowl of soup for Wu Cairen, so you don't have to wait for us."

"Young lady's hands are inconvenient, I'll help you. You just have to tell me what you want." The chief chef of the imperial dining room stepped forward, tied up his apron, and ordered the others, "You guys, heat up the dishes and share a portion of them." The table is ready for Saito and the girl."

Guan Xin and Wu Meiniang looked at each other, fearing that she would dislike her, seeing Wu Meiniang nodding slightly, she responded with a smile.

"A little bit of the same is fine. We girls, we can't eat too much at night, it's not easy to digest, and we'll gain weight." Coming to the chief chef, "Could the chief chef prepare some day lily, bamboo shoots, tofu, and mature vinegar?" ..."

Originally, Guan Xin only wanted to make a bowl for Wu Meiniang, but since the big guys didn't eat it, she simply made a pot for everyone to drink, it was both appetizing and warm.

Wu Meiniang and Guan Xin sat in the corner of the imperial dining room. There was a small table in front of them. Guan Xin picked out four dishes, including two bowls of fried rice. Habit."

"Yeah..." Wu Meiniang had already smelled the hot and sour taste, scooped a spoonful, blew it lightly and put it in the air, the hot and sour taste instantly filled the whole taste buds, it was so sour.It was the first time to eat such an exciting food. After eating a bowl of soup, I felt the heat all over my body, and there was a thin layer of sweat on my forehead.Take a breath and be comfortable.

"This soup is called hot and sour soup? It really deserves its name."

"Isn't it much more comfortable to eat a bowl of hot soup? Try these dishes again. In this weather, the feeling of eating hot pot is even better. When the time comes, I will invite you to eat."

"Okay, sister must remember." Wu Meiniang picked up the chopsticks. Although she had eaten dinner, the gluttons who would be hooked by this bowl of soup came out again, and she should be able to eat some more.

Guan Xin uses the chopsticks in her left hand and holds the spoon in her right hand, and works from left to right. She is really hungry. Although her right hand is still not flexible, after many days of practice, it is a little better than at the beginning. It's flexible.Although she didn't do much physical work this day, but she never idled all the time, coupled with her nervousness, she was afraid of making a mistake and smashing the signboard, which would relax her spirit, not to mention tired, her stomach would start to growl .

Seeing Guan Xin's right hand struggling, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but feel a little sorry, but the matter had already happened, and she had no other choice.She tasted a little bit of everything, and praised each one for its deliciousness.It's not pretending to be perfunctory, it is indeed delicious, the kind of delicious food she has never tasted, no wonder His Majesty has the heart to poach the sixth princess's corner.

"Where is Guan Xin?"
