The style of the Queen Mother in Qing Dynasty is different

The eldest princess is an adopted daughter and is usually disciplined by the queen.After all, she is the daughter of someone else's family. The emperor and queen have many preferential treatment for the eldest princess, such as living in a bigger house than others and having their own small kitchen.

Because they couldn't guard the children all the time, the emperor, queen and concubines in all palaces took the children very seriously.They need to know how much they eat, what clothes they wear, what time they go to bed at night, and every little trouble.

Several children got into the kitchen for no reason to study how to cook. This matter could not be concealed, and soon spread to the ears of the emperor and the harem.

The princes and princesses are dignified, and they can cook whatever delicacies they want, so they don't have to do it themselves.The emperor felt that cooking in the kitchen was the job of the servants, and children should focus on their studies instead of messing around in the kitchen.

The emperor wanted to teach them a lesson, but was stopped by the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager said: "I'm old, I don't have the heart to think about other things, I just want the children and grandchildren to be harmonious. How many years can the children be together? Let them get married later, and they should get married at the age of 20! After getting married , Their minds are on their own little home, on their children, who would think of their brothers and sisters? Don't care if they burn the kitchen or go to the garden to make mud, the children can get along better than anything else powerful."

The emperor was deeply touched by the words of the empress dowager, and he thought of his relationship with his brothers.

The emperor doesn't have many brothers, and he and Fuquan are the same age and have the best relationship.But now Fuquan lives outside the palace, he is in the palace, both of them are busy with their own affairs, the brotherhood is not as close and pure as when they were young.

The emperor obeyed the empress dowager's words and did not interfere with the children's affairs.It's just that there is an open fire in the kitchen, so he told the waiters to be more careful, and don't let the children hurt themselves.

The emperor thought that the children were brothers and sisters in the small kitchen and loved each other, but in fact, the children in the small kitchen were about to fight.

Everyone is a chicken who doesn't distinguish five grains, but they want to peck each other.

The children learned the simple cooking process from the cooking eunuch, and then kicked out all the servants in the small kitchen.

The burning of the fire seemed a bit dangerous, so the eldest brother volunteered to contract it.Oil droplets will splash out when cooking, and it looks a bit dangerous, so it was contracted by the eldest princess and the second elder brother.

The second princess is in charge of washing rice and cooking, the third princess and the third elder brother help out, and they will order whoever needs them.

The kitchenette has two hobs with two burners each.The front burner has a large fire, which is suitable for stir-frying and frying, while the rear burner has a small fire, which is suitable for slow cooking.

The eldest princess and the second elder brother use the stove here together. The eldest princess cooks vegetables in the front furnace eye, and the second elder brother stews meat in a small casserole at the back.The other stove is for the second princess, and rice is steaming on it.

There is only one word for the big brother to burn the fire - fierce!Regardless of what kind of cooking you are doing, there will be plenty of firewood for you!

The eldest princess and the second elder brother were so burned that their faces were flushed. They complained that the elder brother added too much firewood and burned the dishes. The elder brother thought they were busy.The chef said it all, the cooking is delicious when it is stir-fried!

The second princess doesn't think the fire is too hot, the rice doesn't need to be cooked too well, it will be mushy if it gets mushy, she thinks the third princess and the third elder brother are getting in the way by walking around.

The third princess and the third elder brother still feel wronged!The cooking over there asked to get the ingredients and seasonings, of course they had to run back and forth.

The cooking is not very good, and there are many quarrels.

After a few days of noisy and stumbling practice, the elder brothers and princesses were finally able to cook dishes that looked good.

They couldn't wait to see Qiqige's expression on tasting the dishes, so they greeted Qiqige in advance, and then put the prepared meals into food boxes and took them to Xian'an Palace.

Qiqige was touched when she learned that the children had worked hard to learn how to cook and cooked their first meal for themselves.

Before the children arrived, Qiqige went to the private warehouse first to choose gifts for the children, carefully packed them in brocade boxes, and tied beautiful bows with ribbons.

Originally, Qiqige wanted to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to show off, but time is tight, and eating is important, so showing off can wait until after the meal.

When it was time for lunch, the children came with food boxes.Qiqige pretended not to care, she was extremely arrogant.

"Hey! It's hard for you to think about me. Where do I lack this food?" She laughed again, "But... this is your intention, and your intention is more important than anything else, so I will reluctantly accept it!"

Qiqige pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her mouth pretentiously.

The eldest princess had a pure face. She carried the food box and put it on the table with a smile on her feet, making Qiqige's heart tremble.

Qiqige can't wait to go out and shout!Everyone, come and see my dear baby!At such a young age, I know how to feel sorry for others, so attractive!

The eldest princess smiled and said, "Grandmother has worked hard to take care of us! Here are my stir-fried mutton and stir-fried vegetables. My granddaughter is small and doesn't know how to cook complicated dishes. Don't blame me, grandmother."

Qiqige smiled and pinched her little cheek, "How could it be? As long as it's made by you, the imperial grandmother likes to eat it!"

After hearing this, the eldest princess smiled even sweeter.

The second princess also squeezed over with a food box, "Grandmother, I cooked the rice, it's rouge rice saved from my own portion!"

The Ministry of Internal Affairs manages many imperial farms, and the output of these farms is used by the royal family.There is a Huangzhuang in the south of the Yangtze River, which specializes in growing rouge rice. The output of this kind of rice is not much. There are so many masters in the palace, and there is not much to distribute to the second princess.

Qiqige was even more moved. She touched the second princess' forehead, feeling sore and soft in her heart.

Several other children also came over and took out their own food boxes.The maids helped to bring out the dishes, and Qiqige smiled and called the children to sit down and eat together.

Aruna smiled and took out the rouge rice from the food box. She held the rice bowl and put it on the table, her nose twitched and her brows frowned.

According to the rules at the dinner table, only the younger generation can eat when the elders move their chopsticks.Qiqige picked up her chopsticks and picked up a plate of green vegetables with a smile. This plate of green vegetables was fried by the eldest princess. The color was green and shiny, and it looked delicious.

The green vegetables are crisp and crisp, although a bit raw, but acceptable.After she chewed it twice, a stream of salt water poured into her throat, and Qiqige choked and almost spat it out.

The eldest princess smiled and asked: "Grandmother, is the food I cook good?"

Qiqige swallowed the vegetable leaves without chewing, she forced a smile, "It's pretty good..."

Eldest Brother hurriedly recommended another dish, "Grandmother, please try this again!"

The second elder brother was not to be outdone, "Grandmother, this is my casserole ball soup, you eat my cooking!"

Several children were noisily recommending their own dishes, each with shining eyes.

Qiqige sized them up, and suddenly understood, no wonder they came over to show courteousness suddenly, because they wanted to make a fool of themselves.

Qiqige put down her chopsticks, and she said with a smile: "Don't just watch me eat, you can eat too!"

The elder brother said: "Grandmother doesn't care about us, we are already full after tasting the dishes when we cook!"

"Oh, I'm full!" Qiqige nodded, "Red Sparrow, take away the food! I don't want to eat this, these dishes are reserved for elder brother and princess, let them eat at night."

The trick was shattered so quickly, and the second princess was anxious, "Grandmother, this is our whole heart! Do you have the heart to let us down?"

Qiqige nodded of course, "Be patient!"

The second princess: "..."

The children looked at each other in blank dismay, the environment in the palace was complicated, they were far more mature and scheming than their peers, but everyone in the palace liked to beat around the bush, they had never dealt with a scoundrel like Qiqige!

The third elder brother looked at this and then at that, and he burst into tears.

The elder brother scolded him, "Okay, why are you crying, it's annoying!"

The third elder brother cried: "I worked so hard to learn how to cook, but the imperial grandmother refused to eat, I am wronged! I burned my hand because of cooking, it hurts so much!"

Brother San's hand was indeed burned. When he was arranging the dishes, he felt that the chopsticks were too slow, so he just grabbed it with his hands, so he was burned a bit.The hotness is not serious at all, just a little red, which has disappeared by now.

The eldest brother and the others immediately understood what the third elder brother meant, what a great trick!The imperial grandmother will soften her heart if she cries twice!

The eldest princess and the second princess covered their eyes with their handkerchiefs and sobbed. The eldest brother thought he was a man, and he couldn't cry, so he covered his eyes and opened his mouth to howl dryly.The second elder brother's idol burden is heavier than that of the eldest elder brother. He doesn't want to shed tears, nor does he want to grin and howl, so he can only cover his eyes and lower his head, pretending to be sad.

Among these people, the third princess is the most 'straight', she is the one who wants to brave the world, how can she cry?

Seeing that the third princess was not cooperating, the second princess secretly pinched her, making the third princess scream.

Qiqige sat at the head, smiling and watching these children dancing wildly.

Want to kidnap me morally?What a sweet dream!

Aruna is worthy of being Qiqige's confidant, she brought a fruit plate and melon seeds, let Qiqige eat melons and watch the show.

Qiqige peeled melon seeds and ate one, and fed the other to Aruna. Aruna peeled the grape skin and fed it to Qiqige's mouth. The two discussed in low voice whether the grapes were sweet or not.

The eldest brother howled for a long time, but no one cared about him. He sensed that something was wrong, and opened his little hand and five fingers to observe Qiqige secretly.When he saw Qiqige and Aruna happily eating grapes, he couldn't stop howling.

The elder brother patted the left and right to tell the sisters and brothers not to cry. The imperial grandmother had already seen through their true colors, and crying was for nothing.

The children stopped crying, Qiqige ate up all the grapes slowly, and then started talking to them.

"You guys are promising, and you dare to plot against the imperial grandmother!" Qiqige sneered while wiping her hands with a wet handkerchief, "But you made a wrong calculation, I watched you grow up, why are you sticking your ass up? I know it all!"

The third princess stood up and patted her chest righteously, "Imperial Grandmother is the one who does the work and the other is responsible. If you want to punish me, punish me! Don't hurt innocent people!"

The second princess covered her sister's mouth and forced her to sit down. This silly sister, they acted together, how could the imperial grandmother only punish her as one?

Qiqige was also speechless, the second period of the third princess came too early!Why do children have such a serious heroism complex?

"Whether it was done by one person or planned by a group of people, I can tell." Qiqige threw the wet handkerchief aside and rolled her eyes, "The dishes look good, so it shows that you have studied it seriously. This, you want me to be fooled? You are too young! You can't cry even if you pretend to cry, heh!"

This 'huh' was too mocking, and the children all wilted.

The Eldest Princess always knew the current affairs, she hurriedly begged for mercy, "Grandmother, we know we were wrong, we dare not do it again!"

Qiqige nodded with a smile, "It's good to know you're wrong."

The eldest princess threw herself on Qiqige with a playful smile, "Grandmother, don't tell Huang Ama and Huang Erniang about this, okay?"

Qiqige readily agreed, "Okay! I don't like to complain."

The eldest princess and others were overjoyed, as long as they didn't tell Huang Ama and Huang Erniang, everything would be fine.

Qiqige knocked on the table, "Don't be too happy, I don't have to file a complaint, but I still have to be punished."

The second princess also came over to act like a spoiled child, "Grandmother, why don't you punish us to beat your legs? We were just confused for a while, and we won't dare to do it again next time!"

Qiqige asked them to sit back, "You have all planted vegetables with me in the vegetable garden. You know how hard it is to cultivate the land. It is shameful to waste food. I will punish you for nothing else. Eat all these dishes, don't let them go to waste!"

The children curled their mouths and grimaced, this time they really wanted to cry.The food is made by them, can they not know how unpalatable these dishes are?

Qiqige turned her head and smiled softly at Aruna: "The best Aruna in the world, is there still chicken soup stewed in our small kitchen? Let's have a simple lunch at noon, just drink chicken soup and two cold dishes, Another bowl of rice is enough."

Aruna smiled and knelt down to salute, "Your servant will go get ready now."

Qiqige turned her head to look at a few children with a blank expression, and carried out the double standard to the end, "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you eat quickly!"

The children hurriedly lowered their heads to pick up the rice, and they wanted to spit out the soft and glutinous rouge rice as soon as they were put into their mouths.Rouge rice tastes very good, but when the rice was steamed, the second princess deliberately put less water, the bamboo basket was burnt, and the rice smelled like smoke.

Some dishes were too salty, and Qiqige was afraid that the children would spoil them, so she asked them to bring water and let them rinse the dishes before eating.

The stir-fried dishes are okay, the stewed meat dishes are already tasty, and the water is also extremely unpalatable.

The sweet and steaming chicken soup is brought into the house, and the rich aroma wafts to the nose, making people appetite.

Qiqi helped Aruna to sit down and asked her to eat with her.

"Aruna, you are not a servant, you are my most loyal friend. Only you are the most reliable in this world. Look at my grandchildren, who specially made unpalatable meals to trick me!"

Big Brother and the others were chewing their food with difficulty, their heads almost lowered into their arms.

Qiqige took a ladle of soup, licked the orchid finger, "It's so fresh! It's neither salty nor bland, just right!"

Aruna scooped up a spoonful of tofu and put it in Qiqige's bowl, "Your Majesty, try this, don't look at the mediocre tofu, it's actually simmered in broth, it's very tasty."

Qiqige's eyes lit up, "Hmm! Not bad! The tofu still smells like meat!"

Big brother swallowed hard, he loves meat, he is greedy...

Qiqige picked up another chopsticks for Aruna's cold kelp shreds, "It's all too greasy with meat, come, eat some light food to relieve the greasy."

The eldest princess sniffed, she likes to eat kelp.

Several children were drooling looking at Qiqige's food. What they used to color the stew was not soy sauce, but vinegar.They are really sour now, sour in their mouths and sour in their hearts.

After a difficult meal, the children thought it was over and wanted to leave.

Qiqige stopped them, "We have already paid the fine for the food, and we have other debts to settle! You cheated my feelings, and you have to give me spiritual compensation."

Several children have never heard of spiritual compensation.

The third princess yelled: "Grandmother is too bad, you bully us!"

Qiqige flicked the handkerchief to the corner of her eyes, and tears trickled down, "Where did I bully you? It was clearly you who bullied me! I thought you were cooking so hard to honor me, but I didn't expect you to deliberately let me I made a fool of myself."

She took out the gift box she had prepared again, "Look, I've even prepared the rewards, feel your conscience, are you worthy of me?"

She dropped the gift box, choked up and said, "If you want something from me tomorrow, you can't do it!"

The children panicked when they saw Qiqige crying. They wanted to play a prank, but they didn't want to bully their grandmother into crying!

The elder brother scratched his head anxiously, "Grandmother, we know we were wrong, and we will never do this again!"

The second elder brother also came over to coax Qiqige, "Grandmother, if you are angry, hit me and scold me, don't be so angry!"

The eldest princess said: "Grandmother, please punish us! We have no complaints!"

Qiqige immediately withdrew her tears, "You can be fined any way you want! If that's the case, let your maids and eunuchs go back to get the money, and even if the cash is not enough, you can use the objects to pay off the debt! If you don't give the money, you are not allowed to leave!"

Qiqige's face-changing technique successfully frightened the children, and Aruna notified the maids and eunuchs of the princes and princesses to go back and redeem them for the master.

It was boring waiting for someone to give money, so Qiqige opened the gift box she had prepared, and let the children see the gifts that passed by her.

"This scimitar is very sharp, and the hair is broken. There are many gemstones inlaid on the outside. It must be very majestic to wear this knife when hunting."

Big Brother swallowed his saliva while looking at the scimitar.

Qiqige took out another horsewhip, "There is gold thread twisted in the horsewhip, and it shines brightly when the sun shines."

The second elder brother touched the horsewhip around his waist, feeling that his things were being compared.

She took out another tattered book, "This is an ancient book collected by the late emperor. It is said that it is a lonely copy!"

The third elder brother pursed his lips, unable to take his eyes off the book.

The gifts for the princesses were much simpler and cruder, three pieces of finely crafted jumpsuits, fluffy and cute, and the three princesses looked straight.

Half an hour later, the prince and princess's ransom money arrived.

Qiqige took the silver and counted it carefully, she sighed while counting the money.

"Oh! What can I have left in my life? I can only have some money. What good is money, I can't spend it in the palace. Money is a sin to me..."

She looked up to the sky and sighed, "I am really the most sinful woman in this palace!"
