After seeing Lu Qiange and Huanan Jiyan off, Gu Yunxi went back to the loft alone.
It was vacant in the lobby now. In the kitchen, the pot was steaming on the burner.
In the pot, two bowls of rice, two meals of vegetable and meat were heated.
Lu Qiange and she couldn't be back before noon. It seemed that those meals were specially prepared by Leng Qingtang for them.
Gu Yunxi hadn't had a spare moment this morning. At that time, with an empty stomach, she was indeed hungry.
Those meals were warm and steaming. Despite the simplicity, they were the token of her husband's regard.
Looking at them, Gu Yunxi's view became a little obscure.
She sniffed and sat down on the wooden chair beside the burner, eating a bowl of rice with some meals.
As the snow became heavier, the yard was all white and appeared so pure.
The several sacks of spices were still piled beside the
All night, it was extremely quiet in the loft.Outside the windows, there snowed heavily and the wind blew fiercely. Mingled with slight ices, the snowflakes swayed in the air in rustling sounds. It was full of darkness now, and the air was depressed.It was time to get up now. Gu Yunxi poured thick rose saps into the water of the bath, and then she rubbed her body with Symplocos Paniculata Soap. By means of the fragrance, the pungent smell of spices was covered.When she came back to the bedroom, she found half of the bed empty. Leng Qingtang and his quilts were all lost.Ah!It should be that he was annoyed that she didn't tell the truth to him, so he left her and went to the bedroom on the first floor to sleep.Suddenly, the sadness fiercely flooded, occupying her mind and body. That made her unable to avoid it.On the rear of the bed, the red candles ceaselessly shed tears. The flames sway
When the snow stopped in the early morning, the dry branches of many rose bushes in the courtyard were covered with thick snow. As the cold wind blew, the bushes rustled with snow.Leng Qingtang went out of the guest room and saw the snow in the courtyard was swept. On the table in the lobby on the first floor, there were a few dishes with delicate shapes.There was a golden pancake made of soaked shepherd's purse, ham, bamboo shoots, mushroom shoots, and mayonnaise.The fried streaky pork and agaric mixed with unfrozen crab roe, shrimp and surimi were the filling. After stuffing them into a paper-thin sticky rice wrapper and steaming, the delicious Siu Mai with five delicacies was finished.The pleats at that seal were very delicate, specially dyed with cherry blossom rose juice. Lying in the large green plate by pairs, they looked like four roses blooming in the spring.The leavened dough prepared last night w
The red candles lightened the room.Leng Qingtang held his breath and gently raised his arm to hold the delicate and touching woman.Her confession and her resentment moved him. In a flash, the anger of his heart disappeared like ice and snow melted and scattered in the invisible.Her wife had a soft, well-rounded figure. Her graceful figure and his strong body were close. The thick dark hair exuded aroma so that he smelled it greedily and he felt sweet in his heart."Darling, will you forgive me?"The little woman in his arms was appealing. The movement of her delicate body brought out a little uneasiness, which titillated Leng Qingtang like the soft climbing of the worm."Okay…"His eyes became blurred. After Gu Yunxi answered softly, he lifted her and put her on the bed.His kiss, like a hot spring, got her into it and surrounded her tightly. It made her limbs feel irres
It was in the Palace of Da Yi.The sky turned dark as the night fell.All the lights shone brightly as if the room had been filled with shining gold. They reflected through red windows with rhombic floriated grids, lighting up the zigzag corridor, carved beams, and painted rafters as if it had been the daytime."Ridiculous!"An angry roar came out of the windows of Qinming Hall as the shrilling tone was even more distinct in the quiet cold evening.In the center of the hall, Imperial Mother Xiao widened her eyes as she overbearingly yelled at the young eunuch prostrating on the ground. Her luxurious and exquisite royal outfit was shining bright in the lights.Her eyes were blurred by anger and hatred as she glared at the dragon robe the eunuch wore, and then her eyes quietly shifted to the fake face for disguise lying on the embroidered carpet.The woman clenched her fists tightly with her tre
It was on the border of the western tribes.Time flew by. Before they realized that, it had been one month since Leng Qingtang and Gu Yunxi moved from Ping Mount to the rental house on the business street.On the day, Lu Qiange escorted them into the house and left a carriage. Then he left there and hadn't visited them for a long time.After going through the two matters of Autumn Hunting Convention and meeting the witch, they were in a subtle relationship.Without chatting, something could also be understood in mind.They began to realize that the fact of moderately keeping distance and leaving an independent room for each other was of great necessity.Now a new year was coming. On the business street, all were ornamented with lights and ribbons, being in a happy atmosphere.Within a month, Leng Qingtang and Yunxi had visited the whole border area. The main streets, lanes, stands, and
Outside the windows, the heavy snow was like batting, flying and swaying in the air. And the wind also blew fiercely.In the room, the flames were violently burning.Gu Yunxi put the scissor down, unfolding the red paper-cut in the shape of magpies flying in spring. Then she tried to take it on the white window lattice paper.It was the first day of the New Year tomorrow. She saw the white snow flying and falling. The splendid scene could be adequately described by one old saying of the Central Plain, "Timely snow promised a good harvest."Leng Qingtang stood in front of the door, slightly opening a crack of the door. Immediately, a thick sense of cold wind mingling with the fresh and damp air flooded from the crack into the room, blowing the brazier in splattering sound. Then some flames blurted and jumped high out of it.Leng Qingtang hustled to shut the door. Then he went to sit beside the table, holding one
The cold wind coming from the north carried heavy snow. Being separated by the drifting white snow, two Commanders-in-Chief of the Eastern Depot, the current and the former, were standing, facing each other. They looked calm and indifferent, fixing on each other with piercing stares.Yue Xilou was the new Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Depot.Actually, Leng Qingtang had heard his name from Lu Qiange.It was said that this person was handsome like a gentleman. Although he was young, he acted ruthlessly. He was a loyal dog whom Huanan Xin had personally promoted since his enthronement.It seemed there was a silent confrontation. They were engaged in a battle of wills with their stares.Leng Qingtang finally realized why he had had a feeling of being watched on the day when he and Gu Yunxi's carriage had driven past on the street.It wasn't that he had been oversensitive. Presumably, their trail had
The scene in front of her rotated for a while, and Gu Yunxi almost fainted.She held the door frame barely to support her body. Her face was pale and bloodless. Her heart fluctuated violently. Then, she staggered into the room.Huanan Xin was pacing freely in the room. His eyes were soft like water, gurgling across the old and gloomy walls, the simple and rustic wooden furniture, and a heatable brick bed.His eyes were dark and deep. He frowned tightly and sighed with his hands behind his back.Gu Yunxi folded her hands. Her heart fluctuated tightly. Her pretty face was clear and light with few expressions."Why did you suddenly leave the palace and come to the border, Your Majesty?"Huanan Xin turned his head and fixedly looked at the woman he had been fond of for a long time.She was still like the soft beauty in his memory, with white skin and thin black eyebrows. Her eyes were like a puddl
Terra Nova's ninth year of the Daedalic Years, early spring.Kamakawa Yusui is shocked and annoyed when he receives news of a coup at the Imperial Palace and the imminent ascension of Prince Fuchi Yasutaka to the throne as the next Emperor.Since the Kunhuang Island and Huananhe lost a battle, Kamachi sailors suffered a heavy blow, Kamakawa was forced to take the remaining troops retreated to the south of Kunhuang Island, Tsuneoshima stationed.Unexpectedly, just when he was trying to avoid the previous shame and had been intensifying the study of the new combat program, the country had a great turnaround.Can't think too much, Kamakawa by water immediately point all 10,000 Ying army, lead five Anzai ship and a number of ships, with enough artillery Furlong machine fire speed back to Ying, swore to fight with and Shigeru cuts a high and low winners and losers.One night, as Kamakawa's fleet secretly approached Mizumura Harbor in Kyoto, a thick fog sudde
In the banquet hall of the palace, the fire and candles were bright, four dancing girls lined up, green silk buns, colorful makeup, silk sleeves fluttering and swaying, dancing in a slow and rhythmic dance.Two or three male musicians are not far from them, playing strings, flute, drums, each person's face is calm and solemn, but in the eyes of God duh, seems to have the essence of the aura of a hidden flash.The dinner was organized to celebrate the fifteenth birthday of Emperor Fuchi Masaharu, but due to the defeat of the Terra Nova army in Weihai, many of the entertainments were temporarily canceled, and only the traditional Yehime songs and dances were retained.Profound Ya Qing was the main character of tonight's banquet, at this time he was wearing brand new scarlet damask silk clothes kneeling above the chief belonging to him, looking quiet and enjoying the songs and dances.On the seats to his left were the former Emperor's side consort, Daiji, with h
Terra Nova, Kyoto.As night falls, in a short house in the civilian area, the blind man is anxiously waiting for his mother-in-law to return home from work.She hadn't been back for a day and a night, and that definitely hadn't happened in the past.Could it be that the Ninth Princess has encountered something on her end?Rustling footsteps stopped unexpectedly at the door.The blind man's sense of hearing is much more sensitive than normal people, his eyebrows slightly gathered, and without moving, he got up and lightly rubbed his steps to the wooden cabinet, and touched a sharp dagger from the top of the cabinet and quietly hid it in the sleeve of his coat.The door of the room opened, and by the sound of the footsteps coming in there should be two of them."You're Suigo Show's man, aren't you?"The one who asked the question in Terra Nova was a young man.The blind man turned his head sideways, carefully recognizing the source
A cold wind cut through the long, narrow corridor, and the lights flickered dimly.The man's ragged gasps continued to spill out of the closed wooden lattice barricade door, accompanied by the occasional few hushed cries of pain from the woman."Haru, come on, I'll accompany you to your room."Looking at Yuan Ya Qing's stagnant and godless clear face, Yun Shi's heart seized more than just pain as she tugged on one of his arms.The commotion in the room was in no way suitable for a teenager to be listening in.The teenager's eyes were lax as he took two steps with her, speaking quietly in Chinese: ."...Master, you have to trust me as well...it wasn't Mother and I's idea to march into Da Yi."Yun Shi suddenly became miserable inside, opened and closed his nose and said."I believed you, never had a doubt, and it was for that reason that I traveled across the river and across the sea to meet you in person in Terra Nova."The two co
"Yue Xilou, you traitor shall not die!"Qi and blood surged, and a strong hatred that had never been felt before invaded Yun Shi's consciousness.She jumped up with her eyes heavy with red and lunged at her enemy with all her might, reaching for his neck.Yue Xilou laughed scornfully and kicked her backwards with a flying leg.Yun Shi fell out onto the hard floor a few feet away, choking on blood and letting out a pained _groan_.Wamochi stretched his neck to look at it, grinning imploringly.Tsukishiro looks at the samurai on either side :)"Don't just stand there, take her down and keep her under good guard, she'll be of great use in the future.""Slow down ......"Yun Shi forced to endure the pain of bones about to break trembling climbed up, far away from looking at the abyss Ya Qing, the expression of desolate:"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you, please send the counselor."Empress Yuanya immediately s
The fact that the mute applicant, Yun, who was originally scrubbed out of the test, has been recognized by the Emperor as the Imperial Chef, shocks the entire Grand Cookhouse early the next morning.The cooks and handymen who had looked down on her earlier were now gathered in front of the stove in the cooking room, watching intently as she operated it herself.Even in the past days always rigid board a big white face of apricot leaf female master, this time all people before and after chasing after Yun Shi everywhere running, flattery, mouth like a river, all do their best to please. At sunrise, Yunshi was wearing a green coat and pants, put on a large apron to the stove to do the work.With white flour rolled out and crabmeat and shrimp mince and red fish roe in the filling, the meat buns are pinched out with absolutely thirty-three folds.Chicken breast, corn and green beans are sauteed in oil, thickened with soy sauce and pan-fried wine, and wrapped in so
He is, after all, the Emperor!Following the direction of Master Apricot Leaf's kneeling, Yun Shi looked at the teenager, his eyes filled with astonishment.The standing tasseled crown and the yellow coat are indeed the symbols of the imperial nobility of Terra Nova.But, this young man, he is actually the Emperor."Mute, why don't you kneel down!"The apricot leaf matron raised her eyes to the unresponsive Gu Yunshi and chided."Eh, forget it, forget it ...... Master Chief, you get up too."Meeting Yun Shi's eyes, the teenager's face flushed red and blushed as he explained: ."Granny, I don't mean to deceive you ...... I, I didn't eat well in the evening meal, and I was really hungry just now."Yun Shi's complexion returned to normal, pursed her lips and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.Heh, how could she mind?She was begging for it!The hostess rises obsequiously and comes up to nod at the tee
The night fell slowly, blotting out the last rays of red light in the sky.The entire Western Garden was silent.Cloudseeker stood in the tiny compound under the endless sky, raising his head to look up at the dark inky colors of the night sky.In the field of vision, that heavy darkness seems to carry some kind of adsorption magic, only teaching people to look at a glance, want to look through.She failed the test to become a chef and lost her chance to enter the palace and meet the Emperor.Such a result directly disrupted all her latter plans.After losing her temper for a while, she thought of Hua Nanhe, who is still fighting in the battlefield, Yingyu, who is trapped in the palace of Dayi, and brother Mu Xiu, who is waiting for them to return home.Yun Shi's eyes burned as she quickly regained her fighting spirit.Now is not the time to be discouraged, since one way does not work, then find another way.The hour was already
Terra Nova, outside the Abyssinian Palace, West Court.The large cooking room was busy with players in white shirts and blue pants around wooden cases and stoves.In five days, Emperor Fuchiya's fifteenth birthday will be celebrated, and not only will there be a large-scale celebration dinner at the palace, but an all-day parade and festival will be organized throughout Kyoto."Faster, faster, the hour for the king to pass the meal is almost here, and later on your handmade delicacies will be the basis for whether or not you can stay as a loose cook."The woman in charge, Apricot Leaf, is in her thirties, with a purple shirt and pants, wandering around every corner of the cooking room with a stern look, urging the contestants with her mouth, and repeatedly scrutinizing their cooking techniques with her cold and warm gaze.The twenty casual chef applicants came from Terra Nova folk, both men and women, and most of their referrals were cooks and assistant
