When Gu Yunxi arrived in Leng's mansion, the snowflakes blotted out the sky and covered the ground, falling onto the branches of the wintersweet trees in the courtyard.
Qinger had said that the wintersweet trees in the mansion bloomed very early this year.
A few days ago, Gu Yunxi collected a lot of flower branches from the trees. Seeing the red flowers blooming lively on the thin branches, emitting faint fragrance, she took some petals and dipped them in water to make the bright-colored flower pulp.
Gu Yunxi came back and stayed in the kitchen. She used fresh red wintersweet flower juice and mixed it with the glutinous rice flour and pine oil honey. She used rock candies, yellow chestnuts, and wintersweet petals as the sugar filling. She then made wintersweet flower cakes, which had five petals in shape, and put them on the steamer.
Some broad beans were soaked in the water yesterday. She took some and drained the water. She fried
"How dare you break our box?"Seeing Gu Yunjin knock over the food box, Qinger was angry and impatient. Her Lady, Gu Yunxi, spent four hours in the morning making the food. Wouldn't it be a pity to be ruined by others?Qinger had a good command of martial arts. She was rather inclined to lose her temper. As she was about to beat Gu Yunjin, Gu Yunxi raised her hand to stop her.Staring at Gu Yunjin who was across the square table silently, Gu Yunxi's dim eyes were filled with anger."Gu Yunjin, eat the food on the ground!"She pointed to the trampled wintersweet flower cake. Her cold voice indicated an imposing manner.Gu Yunjin didn't listen to her. Instead, she pointed to herself and said maliciously, "I will not eat..."All of a sudden, Gu Yunxi's eyes were filled with grimness. Gu Yunjin trembled under her sharp gaze. She finally didn't speak out the rest of her sentence.Lvnin
The question was sharp and condescending.Gu Yunjin kept her head low and sobbed. Her two curved eyebrows were twitching slightly, implying her reluctance."What? Are you not willing?"Leng Qingtang suddenly widened his eyes, his voice cold and loud."No, no. Yunjin is willing!"On her side, Nanny Gu's makeup had been long ruined by her tears. While frightened by the Master's expression, she could not bear seeing the girl she brought up to be blamed. As she interceded for Gu Yunjin, Nanny Gu also kept poking her on her back, reminding her of the urgency to read the atmosphere.Gu Yunjin stopped crying and stared at the ground. Smothering her resentment, she threw herself on Gu Yunxi's feet and shouted at the top of her lungs,"Mother, my good mother! I was wrong. Don't blame me. Please ask for a pardon from my father! Mercy! Mercy! I will never dare to disrespect you again."Gu Yu
Southern Residence, Eastern Depot.Leng Qingtang leaned on the bed. A brocade blanket with black orchid and rosette pattern weaved with golden strings was on his lap.Cheng Wanli walked in and saluted."Master, everything is ready. We can leave tomorrow.""What about the Eastern Palace?"Leng Qingtang blinked his eyes. He straightened his upper body and asked as if onto something."Rest assured, Master. The stuff has been delivered. The maid in charge took it herself. She said if you had anything to report, you could go to the Kunning Palace anytime."Leng Qingtang curled up his lips. He understood what that meant. He raised his chins and pointed at the chair.Cheng Wanli pulled the chair in front of the Master's bed. He sat down and talked with the Master."Master, you're so clever. You persuaded the Imperial Concubine Wan to recommend someone from her family to take
The outcome of this fight was clear.At this moment, Leng Qingtang twisted his left wrist and grabbed on the man's mask with a hand like a hawk's claw.The man in white fought back with the broken sword angrily. Leng Qingtang was prepared. He swept his sword horizontally.He moaned. A smell of blood rushed into his nose.Leng Qingtang raised his left leg and kicked hard on the right thigh of the man in white. The man moaned again. He kneeled on the ground with one leg. Blood rushed out of his wounded arm, making the white snow red.Leng Qingtang put down his sword. He looked at the man he defeated commandingly. He smiled coldly and ordered,"Tie him up!"Captains and guards went over and flanked the man in white.But the man suddenly looked up. Silver light shot out of his mouth and went towards Leng Qingtang.Leng Qingtang's first instinct was that it was a mouth nee
Gu Yunxi panted in the dark house and came up with a plan."I hope that you can leave as soon as possible! The Master of the Eastern Depot just lives in the front residence. If he knows that you have hijacked me, you will get punished."He stared at Gu Yunxi coldly and smiled secretly.He thought, "This little girl is clever and good at lying.""Is Leng Qingtang in the Mansion now? It is impossible! If it is true, who is the one who just fought with and hurt me in the Eastern Depot?"Gu Yunxi panted more and more anxiously. If she hadn't been relieved from the lock of acupoints, she would have died.The young man whispered,"Listen, I will unlock your acupoints. But you must be quiet and follow my advice. If you are disobedient, I will kill you by this steel knife in my hand.""OK!"Gu Yunxi replied and knew that the reason why she couldn't move was that her acupoints
After a long sleep, the young man slowly opened his red eyes and looked around. He found the scene was familiar.He found that it was in the morning through the diamond-shaped side window.He got up slowly with his right arm twisted. There was a slight pain in the wound.Looking down subconsciously, he found that his arm was wrapped by the bandage, and the wound had been handled properly.A soft silk quilt and a soft silk pillow embroidered with flower patterns were underneath his body, and he was covered by embroidered brocade.Both the walls and the ground of this house were designed to keep warm, so it was not cold in this room in winter. Beyond, there were two quilts for him. When he woke up, the young man was slightly sweating.The young man couldn't help turning his head and found that the poor little girl was sleeping soundly on the chair by the wall.Last night, when the young man fain
Smelling the food, the young man came over delightedly.Steamed buns, ghee flatbread, fried spring rolls, puff pastry, sweet porridge with lotus seeds and leafy vegetables, braised pigeon eggs, and a plate of thinly sliced braised pork. The colors of white and yellow are such a feast for the eyes, and the toasty aroma permeated the air.The young man frowned with a dissatisfied look."This is the most delicious food in the Mansion of the Eastern Depot Master?"He curled her lips in disdain."It's a big meal!" Gu Yunxi looked at him suspiciously."What about meat?" He asked."Isn't this meat?"Gu Yunxi impatiently pointed her finger at the braised pork."Huh! You call this... meat?"The young man sneered and took the chopsticks. He picked a thin piece of meat and shook it in front of Gu Yunxi's eyes, mocking,"Look at it yourself. Can you call
Sulian returned to Empress Qian."What happened just now?" Empress Qian asked."A new maid was clumsy and offended Master Leng. I've punished her and it's alright now."Sulian replied and then talked to Empress Qian about Wan Yuyao of the Yongning Palace."Your Majesty, since the Western Depot was set up, Master Leng and the mistress of the Yongning Palace have been much more distant."Empress Qian had been ill for a long time. Despite the temporary release of her power, her mind remained sharp, and she knew from the beginning that it was Wan Yuyao who persuaded Emperor Jingxiao to found the Western Depot and put her Eunuch Superintendent Ming Lan on the Master's position.However, Wan Yuyao overestimated Ming Lan's talents and lost the powerful help of Leng Qingtang!Sulian cupped her hands in the sleeves, frowning with worry."Your Majesty, how much can we trust the Eastern Depo
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
