Chapter 107 (2/2)
Cheng Yujin was stunned for a moment, and then seriously twisted her eyebrows. Because Ben was also an unexpected product, she just wanted to be fresh and didn't think about deeper use. But if you use this formula to make moon cakes, moon cakes mean reunion and have blue and white porcelain patterns, which can be described as auspicious and elegant, just the essence of palace cakes. Moreover, if she is to host the Mid Autumn Festival banquet this year, what can she do better than presenting a dish of exquisite moon cakes in front of the officials.
Cheng Yujin suddenly opened up and gave birth to many kinds of ideas. Cheng Yujin stood up and tried to give Li Chengjing a salute. Li Chengjing held her hand and asked with a smile, "what are you doing?"
"Thank you for your advice. Your Highness has solved my urgent need. It's a great help." Cheng Yujin's words are true. Li Chengjing is worthy of being a royal. Even though he was not in the palace for many years, his innate keen sense of smell did not fade. Cheng Yujin needs an opportunity to establish her own name, but she can't make too much publicity and grab the limelight of empress Yang. This entry point is just right.
Li Chengjing said: "I just mention it casually. What you really do depends on yourself." His voice declined. Suddenly, his voice changed, and he turned a big bend abruptly: "but Qianlima often has it, Bole doesn't often have it. You can't forget your kindness. How do you plan to repay me?"
Cheng Yujin glared at him again, got up and put away the empty food box: "Your Highness is noble and upright. She is willing to help others, but she never asks for anything in return. I admire his highness Gao Yi very much. Naturally, I feel grateful for him in my heart and take him as an example everywhere. This is the best reward. "
When Cheng Yujin finished, she didn't give Li Chengjing a chance to be unreasonable. Shi Shiran left: "Your Highness is in charge of government affairs, but I have been harassing him for a long time. I'm ashamed in my heart. I'll leave first. "
In the afternoon, the Secretary of the Ministry of industry came to discuss with Li Chengjing. He had been in the officialdom for many years, and he had already practiced the ability of grasping the key points quietly. Almost as soon as he came in, he noticed several exquisite cakes before the crown prince's case.
He vaguely remembers that it was not in the morning. When Li Chengjing saw that the Secretary of the Ministry of industry had come, he didn't do more greetings and soon got to the point. The Minister of the Ministry of industry quickly took back his thoughts and seriously discussed political affairs with the crown prince.
When Huo Changyuan came, the eunuch stopped him: "Prince Jingyong, stay here. The Secretary of the Ministry of work is still in it to discuss with his highness. Prince Jingyong needs to wait."
"It's natural. Thank you for reminding me." Huo Changyuan should not do anything. Whether it is Shangshu or prince, which is not he can neglect, Huo Changyuan can only wait outside.
After a while, two ministers of the eastern palace came in. They sent files to the prince. At the moment, they could only wait. Dry wait boring, eunuch and stand far away, the two Wen Chen acquaintance, can not help talking in a low voice.
One of them asked, "when I just came out, I saw the cake in front of the prince's case. It's strange. I haven't seen it before. Did the father-in-law of Shangshan prison come up with a new idea? "
Another man shook his head and said, "the time when the Food Supervisor delivers food is fixed. The prince is strict. How can he send someone to deliver snacks during the period of administration? In the afternoon, I have never seen anyone in charge of catering, but the prince and the concubine have been here in Shenshi. "The subordinate minister was surprised: "did the Crown Princess send snacks to Her Highness in person?"
"There's nothing strange about it." The other one has been called by the prince for many times these days, and he knows more about Wenhua hall. "It's not just dim sum. His Highness has his own food, clothing and tea. He doesn't eat public meals with other people," he said
They stayed in the Imperial City in the afternoon and did not go home at noon. Instead, they were fed by Guanglu temple. Cooking in Guanglu temple Alas, it is said that there are ten ridiculous places in the capital, and Guanglu temple is honored to be one of them.
The emperor had a close eunuch to cook his own meal, that is, the "inner blister" supervisor, while the cabinet elders could open their own kitchen. However, these ordinary civil servants have no such magic power, they can only follow the public to eat a big pot.
At noon, his royal highness didn't eat much, not to mention the prince, his subordinates couldn't eat either. When he saw that his royal highness had an extra meal, he was very envious. He thought it was the kindness of the eunuchs. Now when he asked, he realized that it was not the eunuchs, but the crown princess.
The subordinate official was even more sad, thinking that he might as well not ask. Another person understood his mood at the moment, patted him on the shoulder and sincerely advised: "don't envy me. If I can't come, I'd better do a good job and go to the restaurant in the evening."
The official sighed. He could only hope to have a good meal after Sanya. When he saw that Huo Changyuan was also there, he said hello to Huo Changyuan: "Jingyong Hou, you are also there."
"Yes, I have something to report to the prince."
The subordinate officials nodded. They were civil and military, clean and noble. There was no intersection. Meeting and saying hello was the limit. Fortunately, not long after the Secretary of the Ministry of work came out, he and Huo Changyuan arched each other, Huo Changyuan will be Su Rong into the hall of literature.
Huo Changyuan didn't listen to the conversation between the two subordinate officials just now, but when he came out of the same room, he could not help listening. After entering the hall, he saluted Li Chengjing. When he got up, he subconsciously looked for cakes with novel shapes.
He did see it next to the case. Look at the size of the plate, these cakes have been used, only a few are left. Huo Changyuan immediately recognized that it was Cheng Yujin's handwriting.
He was engaged to Cheng Yujin at first, and then married Cheng Yumo. He walked around the Marquis's residence in Yichun very frequently, and knew more or less about the Cheng family. At that time, he and Cheng Yujin had not yet given up their marriage. The other party's mother was very proud to say that this was made by the big girl herself.
At the moment, the cake before the prince's case is the same as before. It's not that the pastry looks the same, but that elegant and exquisite style, obviously from the same person.
But Huo Changyuan clearly heard from Cheng's family that Cheng Yujin didn't do it very often. Just as she is very good at needlework, she is also very good at cooking, but she seldom does it herself, and few outsiders can see it.
Huo Changyuan couldn't help thinking, didn't she say that she seldom did it? Why did she listen to the words of those ministers who belonged to the eastern palace? These days, the prince's snacks were all sent by Cheng Yujin?
There is such a big difference between an outsider and his husband. Huo Changyuan thinks it's incredible that Cheng Yujin's thin and cool temperament is so considerate after marriage. She is a model of a good wife and mother.
Huo Changyuan's mind was complicated for a time. At this time, Li Chengjing's voice came from the top. Huo Changyuan held his breath and did not dare to spread.
When it's a little dark, it's time to disperse. Because of what Huo Changyuan saw in the Wenhua hall in the afternoon, he didn't know why he was always inexplicable and irritable. He didn't have the heart to drink with his colleagues, so he pushed off the social intercourse and led his horse home alone.
As soon as he entered the house, Hou's mother-in-law at the door met him and said in a voice, "you're back, sir! Today, Miss Biao came. The old lady was very happy, but she didn't know how to get in the way of her eyes. Now in the upper room, my wife is making trouble with me. Go and have a look
Did Cheng Yumo quarrel with his mother? Why is she so noisy? Huo Changyuan subconsciously frowned, forced to lift the robe, quickly walked to the upper room.
