All the Gold and Jade: Princess Consort

Chapter 14: The Concubine's Eating Appearance【Yeah!Delicious, delicious, this one is delicious too! 】

Since Xu Heng got married with Yongyan, he has participated in no fewer than a hundred palace banquets, big and small. When he first got married, he didn't know whether the emperor and his father-in-law cared about Yongyan or what, so they always sent the young couple to the palace. run.

There are many rules in the palace, every time Xu Heng enters the palace, he feels like he is facing a formidable enemy. The worst thing is that she has not been able to fill her stomach every time she enters the palace. After returning home, it is often late at night, and the kitchen has long been turned off. Hangover soup is nothing else, she can only endure hunger until the next day...

The reason is simply that eating in front of the palace is very particular about manners and demeanor, eating a few mouthfuls of vegetables and drinking a few mouthfuls of soup is counted, and there are even special historians recording by the side. "Famous in history", every time Xu Heng enters the palace to eat with trepidation, for fear that she will accidentally make a joke, the main reason is that she does not want to embarrass Yongyan.

So in the past two years, every time Xu Heng followed Yongyan into the palace, he spent a long time in the mansion, as if he was escorted to the execution ground and beheaded for public display. Except for the family banquet in the palace, the emperor finally came to send invitations less frequently.

Tonight's palace banquet is indispensable. After all, the Lantern Festival is just in time for the Turkic envoys to come to congratulate. The emperor entertained the Turkic envoys on the fifteenth day, so it is not surprising that the family banquet was postponed until today.

Xu Heng thought, sooner or later is a matter of a meal anyway, if you eat early or late, you won't be full anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's fifteen or twenty-five.

"The son-in-law is here," Xu Heng came to the main hall of the princess mansion, and the two little girls waiting in front of the door immediately saluted Xu Heng: "Servant, see the son-in-law."

Xu Heng waved her hand, she could already smell the aroma of the food in the hall, she walked in hastily, and saw several bright dishes on the table, Yong Yan had already sat down, the ivory chopsticks on the pillows on both sides They were neatly arranged, one pair was placed in front of Yongyan, and another pair was placed on the table facing her.

"Xu Heng sees the princess, the princess is auspicious." Xu Heng bowed steadily, but the corner of his eyes had already drifted to the dining table.

"Pingshen, take your seat."

Xu Heng seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, from the front of the door to the seat directly opposite Yongyan, sat down, lifted the robe and sat down in one go, even picked up the chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls of the green beans closest to her.

"Delicious! Well, this is delicious!"

Her quickness stunned the attendant maid, until she straightened her arm and picked up a piece of coconut cake that was a little further away, then she smacked her mouth contentedly, and said repeatedly: "Ah, This is delicious too! Delicious, delicious!"

Yongyan had a panoramic view of her movements, and the originally indifferent eyes unconsciously showed a smile that even she couldn't detect, and Ziyun, who was watching and waiting on the side, almost thought she was dazzled.

The princess was furious just now because of the embezzlement of silver taels in the kitchen, but at this moment she suddenly became amiable, maybe she is bewitched by evil spirits!

But the smile in the corners of the master's eyes doesn't seem to be bewitched, but rather like a spring heart, little girl...?

Ziyun: "...!!"

So the princess is looking at the son-in-law and laughing now?But the concubine's appearance is really quite impressive, if so, then the princess is quite impressive now...

Under Ziyun's stunned comment, Xu Heng ate a few mouthfuls of sweet and sour fish non-stop.

Ziyun: "...!!"

Although Xu Heng had already eaten glutinous rice dumplings in the morning, his stomach was already full, but looking at the delicious delicacies on the table, Xu Heng suddenly realized that he was only half full, so she could still eat it after untying the white jade belt around her waist. Continue to eat three more bowls of rice.

There are a total of nine dishes on the table now, to be precise, eight dishes and one soup. The soup is placed in the middle and the dishes are surrounded by it, forming a posture of ten thousand stars arching the moon.

Among the dishes on the table, three of them are Xu Heng's favorite.One is fresh shrimp, emerald white jade tofu, one is bird's nest pearl vegetable, and the other is pepper chicken. The pepper chicken made by the cook in the princess's mansion is incomparable with Wangjianglou, so Xu Heng didn't plan to eat it. .

Xu Heng’s favorite is fresh shrimp jade white jade tofu. The recipe of this dish is also very particular. Cook the soup with various seasonings in advance, wrap the shrimp in the tofu, and fry it in the oil pan until the skin is browned. When it comes out of the pan, the tofu looks complete at this time, but the inside has been fried and rotten.

When it comes out of the pot, pour the soup that has been boiled in advance, put it in the steamer and steam it for half an hour, wait until the soup is completely immersed in the tofu and taste it, then it can be out of the pot, and finally use a few tofu with roots removed Garnish the green vegetables around the tofu and serve.

This dish is expensive because it is light. Xu Heng used to eat it every day when he had a bad appetite, and he never got tired of it, but now he is facing a problem that the dish she wants to eat the most is right in front of the princess. Even if I stand up with my arms straightened, I can't eat it.

This is a little embarrassing.
