Chapter 425 Fried Rice Balls (7)

Author: A long walk back

A plate of round "golden balls" was still steaming a little, obviously it had just come out of the pan. When you put it in your mouth, the skin of the fried glutinous rice balls was crispy, but the crispiness was only due to the thin skin.

It's just one layer. His teeth broke through the crispy surface, and the inside was filled with the unique soft and glutinous texture of glutinous rice balls. When chewed, it was soft and glutinous with a little toughness. Before he could chew a few more mouthfuls, the sweet and fragrant black sesame fillings melted by themselves.

The thin layer of soft and waxy inner core flowed out.

Well, I tasted it. It was indeed the work of the chefs in the imperial kitchen. But on weekdays, all the food was boiled. Now eating these deep-fried glutinous rice balls, the new emperor felt that it was not only novel, but also quite delicious.

It has a unique flavor that is less mixed than the boiled version, has a richer texture, and smells much more fragrant.

After eating two in a row, he picked up a third one. This time, Xin Di did not put it into his mouth immediately, but looked at the glutinous rice balls on the chopsticks and said puzzledly: "One is boiled, and the other is fried.

It seems that it is not difficult to make. Why haven’t I seen the group of chefs in the imperial kitchen who like to delve into cooking methods do it like this before?"

"How can it be such a simple thing?" The queen said with a smile when she heard this, "How can ordinary glutinous rice balls be put into the oil pan? They had exploded long ago. Master Wen made steamed buns with steamed buns and wrapped them in a layer, so he called them

So perfect."

The new emperor was suddenly enlightened. He put the fried glutinous rice balls into his mouth and nodded: "A Fei is attracted by Hui Zhi Lan Xin." After saying that, he continued without the Queen's words, "Today I was almost let out by Zhang.

He walked away by the nose, but fortunately he was still smart and knew how to pretend to be stupid, so he came back." After telling Zhang Rang about how he used his father's hatred and filial piety to manipulate Wen Mingtang, he sighed, "Some things that cannot be controlled are the worst.

The best thing is to stay out of it."

The queen listened patiently to the new emperor's words, and also laughed twice. Then, while ladling soup for the new emperor, she said: "She came to see me as soon as she came back. I think it was probably Concubine Jing who did it. She is a smart person."

, he naturally followed my words."

Hearing this, the new emperor looked up at the queen and said, "Awan, the murder case in Qianyuan Palace was not arranged by me." After saying that, he stretched out his hand to cover the queen's hand and sighed softly. The rest of his words were meaningless.

Not said.

The queen nodded and said, "How could I not know you?" Then she lowered her eyes and took a chopstick for the new emperor's favorite dish.

He did not arrange the murder, but some of the inside information might not be unknown to the people around him. Duke Jing Guo, who was implicated in the Qianyuan Palace murder case, nodded and admitted all the unfavorable evidence, and only denied it completely on whether he had killed anyone. This reaction

Just like...

Just like Wen Xuance back then.

It was not just the emperor and empress who discovered this, there were many others.

Duke Jing is now just like Wen Xuance back then, refusing to say anything.

…

On the second day, Wen Mingtang taught the two palace maids in the small kitchen how to make some snacks and snacks. Another day passed peacefully, and suddenly it was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

On the day when the empress was born, Wen Mingtang originally thought that he would probably not be able to leave the palace during the Shangyuan Festival, but he did not expect that the imperial food had just been eaten on the Shangyuan Festival, and someone came from the empress. After Wen Mingtang passed, the empress

Without talking nonsense, he put his mouth towards the tea cup at hand and said: "Girl Wen, I won't keep you much longer in this palace. You can go to the Qianyuan Hall and then leave the palace!" After saying that, he paused and looked at the palace.

There was a flash of embarrassment in his mind, "The city is very lively tonight, you might as well go out and have dinner with Zhao Si and have a good Lantern Festival together."

The Shangyuan Festival not only eats glutinous rice balls, but also has lantern festivals. Compared with the lantern festivals held during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Lantern Festival is a serious lantern festival. Pedestrians on the street each hold a lantern, which is appropriate for this Year of the Rabbit.

There are various kinds of rabbit lanterns, as well as beautiful octagonal palace lanterns with painted beauties and beautiful scenery.

The orange-yellow light shines from the lampshade, giving it a subtle and hazy color. Yes, this Lantern Festival is not only a day for viewing lanterns and shopping, but also a day for many lovers to meet.

Wen Mingtang thought of a poem written by a poet in his time and space - "The sound of the phoenix flute, the light of the jade pot, the dance of fish and dragons all night..." The scene is quite beautiful, but the two most beautiful and widely sung ones are

But the sentence has nothing to do with the scene, but the person - looking for her thousands of times in the crowd, suddenly looking back, the person is in the dim light.

Now that the empress specifically mentioned it, and seeing the narrowness in her eyes, Wen Mingtang's heart moved slightly, and he vaguely guessed something. Could it be that Lin Fei was not only mentioning things to the empress, but also someone?

After thinking about this, Wen Mingtang not only lamented that the character of Lin Shaoqing in their Dali Temple was as good as his skin, but he was also surprised by Lin Fei's boldness.

She comes from modern times, and she does not recognize the distinction between superiority and inferiority in Da Rong. But it is one thing not to agree. To break through this distinction between superiority and inferiority, Wen Mingtang also knows that it is not possible in Da Rong.

It's easy. Although Mrs. Hou and others look kind to her, but... when Marquis Jingyun chooses a concubine for the Crown Prince, he pays attention to a well-matched family, and people outside the family will not consider it at all. Lin Fei should know this.

The task was not easy, which was why Wen Mingtang didn't think much about it after hearing his cryptic confession. There were so many obstacles that Wen Mingtang felt that this matter was very difficult to handle just by thinking about it.

When I was listening to the small officials chatting in Dali Temple, I once talked about the story of an adult who lost his wife and fell in love with the daughter of an ordinary people who sold tofu. Finally, he broke through the obstacles and took the daughter as his wife. You must know that if it weren't for this kind of thing

It is really rare, so how come it is so talked about?

Listening to the Queen's joke, Wen Mingtang suddenly realized that Lin Fei had the idea of ​​​​a marriage granted by His Majesty's decree.

This... can really be done! But what happens after it is done... Wen Mingtang frowned and was still thinking about this on the way to Qianyuan Hall with tea.

When he walked to the Qianyuan Hall with tea, Wen Mingtang calmed down and spoke to the guards on the left and right. The guards who had been instructed long ago did not stop Wen Mingtang and walked in with tea.

When she entered the palace, Duke Jingguo was not facing the outside of the palace as he was the day before. He was now facing the door of the palace, sitting quietly by the desk, looking up at the dragon pattern hovering on the top of the palace in trance.

Hearing the noise, Duke Jingguo turned his head and looked over. When he saw it was her, he paused and said, "Are you here to bring tea again?"

Although it was a question, there was not much surprise in his tone, as if he already understood everything.

Wen Mingtang said "yes" and walked over with tea.

Duke Jingguo raised his eyes to look at her. After looking at her carefully, his eyes stayed on her face. After a moment of pause, he suddenly said: "Girl named Wen, if you allow me to do something, I will allow you to do it."
