Ancient Foodie Survival Guide - Chapter 98
As soon as the prince stepped in, all the ladies looked at him shyly.
Bright moon and clear breeze, handsome and handsome, if you can marry him as a princess, it should be a blessing from your previous life.
Today, all the ladies come together to meet the queen, just to be sure that the prince will come to see the queen, but the prince seems to have come a bit earlier.
After discussing the political affairs with the emperor, the prince wanted to go back to his place and change his clothes before coming back. He didn’t expect to smell the fragrance when passing by the queen, so he turned a corner and went to the queen with a smile.
He saluted the Queen and Concubine Lin, and after the salute, he couldn’t wait to walk over to the table.
The queen’s eyebrows were gentle, and she blamed him: “Your cousin is also here, why don’t you say hello?”
The queen and niece sitting beside her breathed stagnantly, and lowered her head shyly, which made the ladies next to her feel jealous.
Suddenly, the prince was embarrassed.
“Cousin.” He greeted warmly.
“Cousin…” The queen’s niece lifted her eyes slightly, her apricot eyes filled with waves, her smile filled, and then she froze.
“Cousin, long time no see.” The prince said to Jiang Shuyao.
The ladies were stunned, the queen was stunned, and the concubine Lin was stunned. Only Jiang Shuyao and the prince were the only ones who were not stunned.
When the crown prince rubbed Xie Xun’s letter and asked for sauce, he called cousin Jiang Shuyao. Jiang Shuyao was not too surprised. She was about to answer, and the queen said: “Cousin?”
The prince looked at the honey-glazed chicken wings wrapped rice on the table, and his eyes lit up, with a little tenderness in his footsteps, sitting lightly next to the queen, and replied: “Exactly, the queen and the imperial concubine love sisters——”
After speaking, I finally saw the ladies sitting next to me, and I was shocked.
Oh, so many people.
There was a slight tension in his heart.
Seeing the prince’s eyes cast, the noble ladies withdrew their puzzled, hateful, and admiring eyes, and bowed their heads shyly.
It felt that the prince hadn’t looked away for a long time, and they even breathed very lightly, for fear of any indecent behavior.
The gaze of His Royal Highness stayed for a long time. Could it be that who was in your favor?
They grabbed the handkerchief nervously.
The prince had finished counting the heads, and he felt a little heavy. There were so many people. He looked at the chicken wings wrapped rice, feeling a little confused. It shouldn’t be for them, so he should be okay if he eats it happily?
When the queen saw his eyes retracted, she stuck to the chicken wings wrapped rice, and Wen Yan reminded him out: “Why don’t you say hello? Could it be that I haven’t seen him in a few years and I can’t recognize my cousin?”
The prince regained his senses from the dazedness, and cast his gaze to the center of the ladies again, and finally found his cousin who was quite serious.
He smiled and said hello, looking at his cousin whom he hadn’t seen for many years, his eyes were slightly vacant.
The cousin of the prince trembles, unable to resist the charm of the prince’s slightly peachy eyes, her face is blushing.
The prince looked away, and his heart became calmer.
If you remember correctly, this cousin was a little girl when she entered the palace a few years ago. Good fellow, she drank three bowls of meat soup in one go.
Danger is also dangerous.
The queen noticed the strange atmosphere and cast a suspicious look at Concubine Lin Gui.
Concubine Lin was a little bragging after eating a chicken wing rice, was watching a good show, wiped her mouth, saw the queen cast her eyes, smiled and shook her head.
The queen thought that she was thinking too much, and said: “These days are so fast. In the blink of an eye, you are all the age of a concubine.”
The prince is still very good at pretending, even if he is worried about the chicken wings and rice, he is still a serious and modest gentleman, sighing helplessly: “…mother queen.”
The queen stopped and turned to her mind about choosing a concubine.
The prince thought to himself that he couldn’t just say “I want to eat” directly, he still had to introduce the topic and bring it along.
So he said to Jiang Shuyao: “Why did my cousin come here today, where is Bo Yuan?”
Jiang Shuyao said: “The imperial concubine asked me to come. I happened to make a meal, so I borrowed the queen empress’ dining room here.”
The prince raised his eyebrows and came, at this time, he immediately led to eating!
Unexpectedly, before he could catch his breath, he heard Jiang Shuyao say: “My husband hasn’t come here, I guess he’s resting. In the morning, everyone went out to eat and drink together. He was injured and should be a little tired.”
The prince leaned into the teacup for a moment.
“…To eat and drink in the morning?” He said with difficulty, “but with the colleagues in the East Palace?”
Jiang Shuyao nodded: “Exactly.”
The prince’s hand holding the teacup was shaking: “What did you eat?”
Jiang Shuyao smiled and said, “It’s nothing, it’s just the grilled sausage I made myself, and grilled fish.”
The prince’s hand suddenly tightened, holding the teacup tightly, and looking down sadly.
Wow, wow.
This group of people was still watching the stars and moon with him yesterday, chanting poems, drinking and chatting, from poems and songs to political ambitions, today they left him to eat together!
Oh, brotherhood, nothing more than that.
He stared fiercely at the chicken-wing-stuffed rice, I must get this plate today! Humph.
The queen saw him staring at the chicken wing wrapped rice, so she followed: “You just came here, and you made the chicken wing wrapped rice. It tastes very good, you can try it.”
The villain inside the prince frantically rubbed his hands, just waiting for these words.
He couldn’t wait to pick up the chopsticks and bite off the chicken wings and rice.
The crispy, sweet and salty chicken skin, the tender and juicy chicken, the full and elastic glutinous rice, the rich umami taste mixed with the fragrant rice and exploded in the mouth. The steamy chicken has plenty of water, mixed with the honey on the surface, sweet and fresh, and slightly spicy in the freshness. There is no need to deboning and no vegetables. It is all meat and rice in one bite. It is not only delicious, but also satisfying.
The prince was chewing on the chicken wing wrapped rice. It seemed that all the entanglements of love, hatred, grievances, and grievances had disappeared in a split second–that’s it.
He swallowed chicken wings with rice. The chicken wings were so delicious, he missed what the fish and sausage should taste like.
When the prince came, the atmosphere was always a little awkward.
He originally wanted to sit down and leave, but now staring at the plate full of chicken wings, the golden buttocks are just like sticking to the seat, motionless.
Can’t carry a plate of chicken wings and rice. He wondered to himself whether it was feasible.
Seeing that he had eaten a big chicken wing wrapped rice, the queen felt that he could get to the point, and the prince’s chopsticks stretched to the next one.
“Cough.” The queen coughed slightly, motioning the prince to pay attention.
The prince looked up puzzled, and suddenly thought of a lady sitting next to him, the speed of lowering his chopsticks suddenly accelerated, and he picked two chicken wings wrapped in rice on his plate, almost drawing an afterimage in the air.
Queen:…
She forced a smile and said: “Well, since the delicious food is made, it can’t be enjoyed by the palace and the royal concubine and prince. It’s better to divide it up, and everyone has a taste.”
The queen beckoned, the **** bowed forward, and took away the plate of chicken wings. The little **** took a tray, and he took a knife and cut the remaining two pieces of chicken wings wrapped in rice.
Just cut with a knife, you can feel the crispy surface of the chicken wings wrapped rice, the burnt and buttery skin is cut, the chicken juice inside is constantly pouring out, the chicken is extremely tender, and the tip of the knife melts away, revealing the crystal clear glutinous rice and Fresh green beans.
The ladies who were close swallowed softly.
The **** continued to cut, the glutinous rice was soaked in the chicken juice, and it was tightly stuck together, glowing with a lustrous luster. The chicken juice dripped on the plate, and the fresh and oily aroma blended together, which was very attractive.
The lady of the court took the chopsticks and distributed them to the ladies.
They glanced at the prince and saw that he hadn’t seen him. They were a little disappointed, and lazily picked up the entrance of the chicken wings wrapped rice.
As soon as I put it in my mouth, my eyes widened.
How can it be so fresh? The fresh and tender chicken juice seems to permeate every stick of glutinous rice. Every time you chew you can feel the surging of chicken juice. Even those who are used to eating delicious dishes have to admit that Jiang Shuyao’s dish is really good. It’s really good.
Obviously, it is just glutinous rice and chicken, not crab meat and venison, but the taste is not worse than the food made with the best ingredients.
They put down their chopsticks and wiped the corners of their mouths reservedly.
The fragrance in my mouth has not yet dissipated, and I am obviously not hungry at all, but I have an appetite after taking a bite.
They suppressed the surprise in their eyes and tried their best to make their expressions look plain.
The queen liked the “harmonious” atmosphere of sharing food with others, and smiled: “How does it taste?”
Concubine Lin knew how they would answer as soon as she saw the expressions of the ladies. She smiled without saying a word, raising her eyebrows and waiting.
Sure enough, the queen’s niece spoke first: “Mrs. Xie is really ingenious. This food is extremely delicious, but I am not used to it.”
“Yes, my taste is always light.”
“It tastes great, but I’m used to being a vegetarian. I still feel a little uncomfortable with meat or other meat.”
They gritted their teeth and spoke duplicity, feeling uncomfortably hungry.
Concubine Lin snorted lightly, smiling without saying a word.
A group of little girls in the film, just this ability. She glanced at the growing prince, and the misfortune came out of her mouth, do you know?
Before the prince said anything, he suddenly heard the **** shouting outside: “The emperor is here–”
The gentle and virtuous queen, the seductive and charming concubine Lin Gui, and the prince who was displeased because of the picky words of the lady heard this sound, and looked at the plate neatly and consciously.
There is only the last one left with chicken wings.
The emperor arrived before he heard: “Queen, what kind of food you have made here, I have heard it from a long distance.”
The ladies who intended to belittle Jiang Shu’s craftsmanship just stiffened.
As soon as the emperor came in, he was stunned when he saw such a large group of people. When he saw that the prince was also there, he instantly understood what was going on.
The ladies saluted one after another, the emperor came, and they retired respectfully after saluting. Jiang Shuya was about to leave and was held down by the queen.
The emperor said “no gift”, and walked towards the queen.
He is here, and the rest of the chicken wing rice can only be his.
The queen introduced it and asked the emperor to taste it. The emperor did not refuse, and picked up the chicken wing wrapped rice, savoring the taste: “Fat but not greasy, tender and smooth, it is superb.”
The ladies retreated halfway, and their faces burned suddenly when they heard this comment.
The saints who are accustomed to the delicacies of mountains and seas are still full of praise. What they are, they allow them to pick and choose here.
But the emperor’s voice kept on. They heard the sage, who had always been aloof, and they didn’t dare to look directly at Tianyan, and talked to Jiang Shuyao kindly: “Where did you learn this craft? You figured it out by yourself? It’s really a talented person from generation to generation. what.”
Their faces hurt even more, as if they had been slapped, they quickened their pace and fled.
After they left, the emperor finished the chicken wings and did not leave.
Concubine Lin understood what he meant, and got up and took Jiang Shuyao away: “I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I will talk to you in a whisper.”
After Jiang Shuyao left, the emperor’s heart ashamed of wanting to rely on the meal finally felt better. At least Jiang Shuyao is here, he can’t sit for a long time. But if Jiang Shuyao left, it would be boring for him to keep it. Fortunately, Concubine Lin Gui had something to say to her and led her behind.
Now only the Empress and the Prince are left, and the topic is not so hard to find.
The emperor asked: “Those ladies just now are candidates for the crown princess?”
The queen said: “Exactly.” She turned her head and asked the prince, “Did you like it?”
The prince sighed: “Mother, I can’t even tell who they are. How can I take a fancy to it?”
The queen urged him to introduce him: “The eldest lady of Zhongshu Ling’s family, she is fifteen years old, and she is very talented and beautiful. What do you think?”
Prince: “She thinks the chicken wing rice is not delicious enough, no.”
Queen:…At this time you can tell who is who?
She endured and said patiently: “What about the third young lady of Li Shang Shu’s family? Gentle and virtuous, exquisite and wise–”
Before he finished speaking, the prince interrupted again: “Not to mention it, she said she doesn’t like meat meat.”
The queen choked and said, “The fifth young lady of Zhou Shangshu’s family will go there. She hasn’t said anything.”
The prince disliked: “She can’t do it either. She ate three yuan in one breath, and everyone else only ate one piece.”
Queen:…
She couldn’t hold her smile anymore: “What about the lady who only ate a piece and didn’t speak?”
The prince waved his hands frantically: “No, no, it’s not that you don’t know how to taste good food, how boring.”
The queen took a deep breath. She had never lost her temper after being in the palace for so many years, and she was extremely satisfied with such an excellent emperor, but at this moment she suddenly had an impulse and wanted to speak loudly.
She pressed her voice and said, “Then you—”
He just got up and was interrupted by the sound of “hiccup hiccup”.
The prince covered his heart and suddenly started pumping, and quickly poured tea into his throat.
Just now his father came suddenly, and he squeezed two pieces of chicken wings stuffed with rice. Before he had time to chew, he choked.
