Chapter 1,710 Choice (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
The Queen Mother immediately ordered Aunt Bai: "Place the dishes and chopsticks for the Emperor..."
Along with the meal box, there is a spare set of dishes and chopsticks.
Aunt Bai agreed and went to set the dishes and chopsticks, wondering whether to ask for more food.
She was afraid that it would be too late to give the order, and she was also afraid that if she didn't add it, the breakfast would be too simple.
The Queen Mother also saw that there was a lot of empty space on the dining table, and several of the regular dishes were just for show, and she didn't want to eat them at all.
She thought for a while and told Aunt Bai: "No need to ask the kitchen to add more dishes. Just put Jiufujin Xiaojing's crispy fish on a plate and a plate of spicy and sour radish. Both of them are excellent with porridge."
"
These side dishes in jars are in the tea room behind the Queen Mother's tent, just for the convenience of adding vegetables.
Aunt Bai responded and went down to load the disc.
Yu Qian also got a portion of these side dishes.
It had been many days since Shengjia came out of Rehe, and Kangxi also ate a round of it.
Seeing that the Queen Mother really liked it, Kangxi said: "Enie loves to eat, so I asked Brother Jiu to honor the recipe later..."
The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "No, no, the children are filial, which is different from what the kitchen makes. Only when you have your heart in it, you will be happy when you eat it."
In recent years, not only Jiu Beile Mansion has gone to Ningshou Palace to pay tribute to various kinds of food, but Wu Beile Mansion has also followed suit.
It's just that there are no novel recipes in the dining room of Wubeile Mansion. Most of them were made by the fifth elder brother who ate something good outside and thought it tasted delicious, so he bought it and brought it to the palace.
Because the dishes are not tasty when they are cold, Wu Beile mostly serves sugar cakes and the like.
As the Queen Mother grew older, she had no shortage of food. What she was happy about was the filial piety of her children.
When she mentioned this, she grinned from ear to ear and said, "The emperor has taught me well, and my brothers are also filial. I am blessed."
Kangxi nodded and said nothing more.
He has been an amma for thirty years and has always taken care of and cared for his sons. In recent years, because of his ninth elder brother, he has also received filial piety from his sons.
It's really irritating to make people angry, and it's really heart-warming to be heart-warming.
For this reason, he felt that he could be more tolerant towards Brother Jiu. Even if he knew that Brother Jiu was having a bad temper with his elder brother, he would just pretend that he didn't know about it.
Otherwise, he designated Brother Jiu to give him a scolding.
The elder brother can patiently teach the younger brother, which is the brother's friendship. Brother Jiu is not appreciative and still makes a fool of himself, which is very inappropriate.
As for whether Fourth Brother made any mistakes...
Kangxi also knew the temperament of his sons. Not only was the ninth elder brother honest, but the fourth elder brother was also an honest man. This was all taught well by Empress Xiaoyi, to treat brothers with kindness and kindness.
Mother and son had breakfast.
The scallop porridge is delicious, but for the Queen Mother, it is a bit bland. It is just right when paired with the strong crispy fish and spicy and sour radish cubes.
After the Queen Mother finished a bowl of porridge, she asked Aunt Bai to add half a bowl.
Kangxi saw that the Queen Mother had a good appetite, she felt relaxed and had a great appetite.
He knows the destiny of his life before his eyes, and he can still serve Ani properly. This is a blessing.
Kangxi took down a few more chopsticks.
It's just that he didn't see any venison, so he kept it in mind.
Yesterday, he got the news about the deer kid sent by Prince Wengniute, and he knew that the Queen Mother also had one here.
Last night's meal in front of the emperor included steamed deer blood.
I don’t know if the deer here in the Queen Mother’s house have been slaughtered.
Although venison is dry, lamb meat is much milder. Now before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is also a nourishing time.
Nowadays, she is exhausted from traveling around, and Kangxi is also worried that the Queen Mother will be affected. It would be best if she can take supplements.
The journey would continue today. Kangxi had breakfast and then returned to the imperial tent.
On the way, he told Liang Jiugong: "Send someone to the dining room to get the Queen Mother's meal booklet..."
According to the rules of the palace, a receipt for meals taken out of the imperial kitchen must be kept for reference.
Liang Jiugong responded and went down to send someone to get the meal list.
When Kangxi returned to the imperial tent, he also got the meal list there.
Kangxi opened it and looked at this morning's meal list.
There are indeed sixteen dishes served by the Queen Mother, and one of them is venison, which is honey-glazed venison.
Kangxi had a smile on his face. This must have been given to several younger brothers by the Queen Mother along with other dishes.
Immediately, he stopped smiling and realized something was wrong.
The Queen Mother suffered from dizziness a few years ago, and the imperial doctor diagnosed her as having improper diet.
The Queen Mother's food was heavy on meat and oil, and she also had a craving for sweets.
Kangxi specifically asked the imperial physician, who ordered a light diet and less sweet vegetables.
For this reason, Kangxi also specially summoned the chef of Ningshou Palace.
For this trip, the people from the dining room of Qianqing Palace were assigned to the dining room. However, they had also dealt with the dining room of Ningshou Palace, so they should know the taboos of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother’s food menu this morning actually included honey-glazed venison?!
The people below are so inattentive!
Kangxi's face darkened and he ordered Liang Jiugong: "Who is the steward in the dining room? Tell him to come here and answer!"
Liang Jiugong remembered that he was an unfamiliar chief, and said: "It seems that he is the newly appointed chief before coming out this time. I will call for him now!"
When someone came over, it was a fat man in his forties, who knelt down to say hello, like chaff, and there was sweat on his forehead.
You must know that the people who work in the dining room are all drawn from the imperial dining room of Qianqing Palace. Although it is not unusual for the emperor to reply, it is not that rare.
Why are you so scared?
Kangxi saw something was wrong and did not scream, but scolded: "Do you know your sin?"
"Bang bang!"
The head of the commission kowtowed quickly and said in a trilling voice: "I know my sin, I know my sin!"
Kangxi felt a fire rising in his heart, and said angrily: "Who gave your dog the courage to deceive the superiors and deceive the master?"
The head of the commission said in a tearful tone: "I dare not shirk the excuse. I am indeed guilty of negligence. Yesterday, my servant was not on duty at night. The people below were bold enough to misappropriate the Queen Mother's food. This morning, I heard that I
Terrified, I asked the emperor to punish me..."
The master looked naive, but he acted with a certain amount of cleverness and spoke clearly.
Kangxi only felt that his eyes were getting dark.
He had just guessed that there was something inappropriate in the dining room because of the guilty conscience of the boss, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother's food was being misappropriated.
No wonder there's something wrong with the menu this morning.
Who is the Queen Mother?
It's his aunt!
Even he, the emperor, respects him, how dare these slaves?!
Kangxi endured his anger and said: "What's going on? Tell the truth!"
The chef's teeth were chattering and he mentioned that the Crown Prince wanted to have a meal after the shift last night. The man on duty paid tribute to Tang A and the chef and secretly misappropriated the Queen Mother's ingredients.
Kangxi was stunned.
I didn't expect that the prince was involved.
In the past, when the prince was involved, Kangxi would minimize the big issues and trivial matters to preserve the prince's dignity.
Right now, he was so angry that he didn't want to be like this.
The prince's dignity has been preserved, but what about the queen mother's dignity?
His aunt was nothing but kind and righteous to him, without any wrongdoing.
If his son doesn't make the decision for the Queen Mother, then the slaves who bow down from behind will only take advantage of her.
We can’t set a precedent like this!
He ordered Liang Jiugong: "The servants working in the dining room secretly misappropriated the Queen Mother's ingredients and committed the crime of great disrespect. I will take off their hats and give them sixty boards each!"
The chef and the head waiter in the imperial dining room are all high-ranking officials who worship Tang A. They have seven-grade top-level officials. Below them, the chief of staff and the treasurer also have ranks.
"嗻!"
Liang Jiugong responded and took the people to the dining room.
The head of the commission was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to beg for mercy, waiting for his own treatment.
Kangxi looked at him, hesitating in his heart.
Seeing that this man was timid and didn't know the importance, Kangxi said: "Demoted to three levels and retained, go out and get twenty boards, it will help you remember a lot!"
The head of the commission was demoted three levels from the sixth rank to an eighth-rank minor official.
The master escaped, wishing he could throw himself on the ground, kowtow and said: "I thank the emperor for your grace, now go out and receive the punishment!"
The convoy outside has been prepared.
The imperial tent here will not be put away until Kangxi ascends the royal chariot.
When a holy driver travels, he carries two sets of imperial tents.
Take today as an example. Before the holy team set off, officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already set off with another set of royal tents.
In this way, by the time the holy driver arrived at the next station, the imperial tent had already been set up.
Among the group of people, only Kangxi and the Queen Mother had two sets of tents.
Therefore, at this time, when we saw Chen Zheng, everything in the camp was almost ready, waiting to set off.
The prince and princes also came to wait outside the imperial tent.
As a result, I saw Ma Wu with his guards and was executing the plan.
The fat man who was beaten was wearing a six-grade tonic suit and was a low-level official.
Everyone was surprised.
The thirteenth elder brother stood behind the ninth elder brother and asked in a low voice: "Ninth elder brother, this... is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right?"
Except for those in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there should be no officials in the retinue who are of such low rank.
Brother Jiu also looked carefully and couldn't recognize who it was.
After listening to the words of the thirteenth elder brother, he said: "Most likely, if you are from other yamen, your level will not reach the imperial court."
Who is Ma Wu?
He is a guard with a sword in front of the emperor.
The one who can make Ma Wu supervise the execution must be the one who speaks from the emperor.
"Pah...pah..."
The person in charge of the commission was fat, and the sound of the board hitting his buttocks was extremely loud.
Not only the prince and the adult prince are waiting here, but also several younger brothers are here, waiting to see the emperor off to the throne.
The fourteenth elder brother stretched out his head and looked at it with a bit of curiosity.
The fifteenth brother was timid and his face was already pale, but he took the sixteenth brother's hand and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, it was the fault of this person that Khan Ama ordered someone to beat him..."
