1635 Siblings Compete for Food
The Eldest Princess wolfed down a bunch, and grabbed another bunch with her other hand. The appearance of gobbling it up didn't have the dignity and majesty of a Qing princess.
When the queen mother saw her, she said reproachfully, "Eat slowly, slowly, there is more, there is more!"
The eldest princess ate another bunch, and said excitedly: "Mother, the emperor told me yesterday that he ate the best delicacy in the world, and he even described the taste to me. You don't know. I was thinking about the emperor last night. What brother ate, but drool all night, even the pillow towel was wet! I finally got it today, I want to have a good time!"
This Princess Lihua has a lively personality, Gu Xiaowan thought to herself.
Eunuch Qi also grilled yesterday, so he naturally joined the barbecue team, otherwise, with this slow roasting speed, how could Gu Xiaowan be busy by herself.
With two people, the speed of the barbecue is faster. If any ingredients are missing, there will naturally be maids and servants ready to serve them. Gu Xiaowan only needs to be in charge of the barbecue, and there is a fan next to her. The queen mother and daughter He also left a mouth to eat, but he didn't ask any questions.
Gu Xiaowan also felt at ease.
When Gu Xiaowan was concentrating, a servant sang loudly: "The emperor is here!"
The emperor said he was going to eat barbecue, so he came in a hurry.
When the eldest princess heard that the imperial brother was coming, she hurriedly put all the barbecue in front of her on a plate, and then, like a chicken protecting food, she refused to give it to Shu Tianci.
"Good imperial sister, just let the imperial brother eat one!" Shu Tianci begged sadly.
"No, you bullied me so much yesterday that I drool all night, if you don't give it, you won't give it!" Princess Lihua scolded coquettishly.
The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is also harmonious, and the interaction between the two of them naturally made the empress dowager very happy.
She was pregnant when she was very old, and then she had Lihua again in less than a year. Now, her son is the Ninth Five-Year King, her daughter is the eldest princess, and she is the most honorable empress dowager in the Qing Dynasty. , there is suffering and joy, and now this school is full of loving mothers and filial sons, powerful and powerful, all the hardships are all worth it.
"Emperor, don't argue with your imperial sister. Xiaowan's place is about to be roasted, so you can eat hot! Nuo, here is the soaked mango nectar. You can also drink a few sips. Fire!" The Empress Dowager said, pointing to the Mengding Manna prepared by the maid.
Shu Tianci happened to be a little thirsty, so he drank a few sips of tea. Over there, the barbecue in the hands of Eunuch Qi and Gu Xiaowan was also finished, and they put them together on a plate and sent them up: "Your Majesty, would you please use!"
Grilled golden fish, sprinkled with various seasonings, and served with green onions, just smelling the smell makes people want to stop.
Shu Tianci took it, and did not eat it immediately, but took out a bunch of them and handed it to the Queen Mother, and said respectfully: "Queen Mother, please taste it first!"
The queen mother looked at this proud son kindly, and her heart became more and more peaceful: "Aijia ate a lot with Lihua just now, Aijia is getting old, and Aijia doesn't dare to eat such spicy food. The emperor eats by himself!"
Just as Shu Tianci was about to withdraw his raised hand, someone snatched it away vigorously.
Let me ask, who would dare to snatch something from today's son, who else but Lihua? Sure enough, I heard the eldest princess's charming voice: "Mother, you don't want to eat it, you can give it to my son! It's so delicious Don't let things go to waste!"
Shu Tianci laughed and scolded reproachfully: "Little greedy cat!"
In a word, the empress dowager who provoked her also laughed, pointing at Princess Lihua and shouting, "Little greedy cat!"
There was a joyful scene in the gazebo. This harmonious family of three was really a bit like the simplest family among the common people.
In such an environment, Gu Xiaowan's heart, which had been hanging all the time, relaxed a little at this moment.
However, immediately after, another person came, but Gu Xiaowan's rested heart was raised again.
"Empress Dowager, Concubine You Gui is here to greet you!" Aunt Jinyi whispered in front of the Empress Dowager after hearing the maid's report.
But when they heard the news, Shu Tianci and Princess Lihua, who were still smiling, changed their faces at the same time, and there was an inexplicable taste on the faces that were still laughing just now.
The relaxed and comfortable gazebo immediately became colder because of another person's intervention. Gu Xiaowan secretly raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the person coming.
The person who came here was wearing a goose-yellow cloud sweater with elegant orchids embroidered on it, a skirt with ancient patterns and double butterflies in the shape of thousands of waters, and a Bixia Luo peony mist gauze in his hand.
Yunji is towering, with black hair and blue silk, a hollowed-out gold walker is inserted obliquely, her face is as charming as the moon, her eyes are bright and sultry, and she walks up to the gazebo step by step, standing still and supporting her body, with a soft voice The ground is like the lark: "He'er pays respects to the Queen Mother, and pays respects to the Emperor!"
"Pingshen!" Shu Tianci clapped the debris in his heart, and said in a cold voice.
"This person is Grand Master You's concubine-You He, the current Concubine You!" Eunuch Qi knew that Gu Xiaowan didn't know this person, so he hurriedly introduced in a low voice.
Gu Xiaowan nodded. It turned out that this person was the first daughter of You's parents who married into the palace and became a noble concubine.
For some reason, when Gu Xiaowan saw this bright and charming eldest daughter of the You family, she could always think of You Shuang, the second concubine daughter of the You family who was crying in the Li residence.
One is as bright as the peonies competing for beauty, and the other is colorless like the bare trees after the autumn leaves, which make people unable to pay attention.
.
However, this Youhe and that Youshuang are both children of the You family, and their eyebrows and eyes are three points similar, but one is as proud as a cloud in the sky, and the other is as shy and humble as mud on the ground.
Entering the same door, drinking the same ladle of water, being the same family, but their children and children have very different identities and statuses. In such a situation, can the second wife of the You family bear it?
Concubine You Gui didn't notice the emperor's indifference towards her at all, she only knew that seeing the emperor in the queen mother's palace today, she was very happy, thinking that the emperor would be so fascinated that she would go to her palace tonight.
