Qing Dynasty: I Rely on Games To Fight For Favor

When Xia Mian arrived, Kangxi was still on the court, Xiao Dezi took her to Xi Nuan Pavilion and asked her to wait here.

Xia Mian saw that it was still early, but she moved in her heart. This was an opportunity God gave her. She didn't need that piece of paper anymore, so let's go straight to the real thing.

Calling Xiao Dezi, she said, "The emperor wants to have breakfast in a while, can you ask the Imperial Dining Room to add two things that I said?"

This is not a big deal either, "What the little lord wants to eat, the servant asks the Imperial Dining Room to do it for you." Xiao Dezi said with a smile.

But after a while, he won't be able to laugh. What are the two things Xia Mian wants to eat?

"Thank you then." Xia Mian said quickly.

Come on, she's already talking about this, how can Xiao Dezi refuse, and try her best to do it!

There was another fluttering, but fortunately, the time of Kangxi's dynasty was very long today. It was noon, and he hadn't returned yet, otherwise he would definitely not be able to catch up.

At the end of the day, Kangxi came back, Liang Jiugong wiped his face and took off his clothes, put on his normal clothes, and Xia Mian saluted him.

Kangxi was in a good mood today, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Of course, I haven't eaten breakfast for a long time. Until now, I am hungry so that my chest is pressed against my back. But thinking of Kangxi as well, Xia Mian couldn't say anything.

"Soon." Xia Mian replied against her will.

Kangxi smiled and tilted his head to look at her. Today, Xia Mian wore a plain-colored engraved green vine dress with two little green hairpins on her head. His eyes were clear and his skin was white. In this hot summer, I can’t tell. It's fresh and charming.

"Get up," he said.

Xia Mian stood up numbly and knelt at every turn, her knees also suffering.

Maybe she moved too fast, Kangxi thought it was funny again, "Did you not teach you the rules at home?"

"Teached, but didn't teach this." Xia Mian said with a serious face.

"Oh?" Kangxi came with interest.

"The maidservant's house is at the foot of Changbai Mountain. Girls and boys can go out hunting. When I was young, Ermian didn't know that the maidservant was lucky enough to enter the palace, and she planned to give her bows, arrows and deerskin clothes as a dowry!" Xia Mianban True and half-fake way.

Manchuria originated between the white mountains and black waters. It is a hunting nation. There are newborns in the family. Both men and women will hang bows and arrows in front of the door to pray for their children to become the best hunters. When they get married, bows and arrows are also their best matchmaker and dowry.

The clothes they wear are the same, men have arrow sleeves that are easy to ride and shoot, and women have large cheongsams, which are not foot-binding at all.

In Xia Mian's original body, Ama was the Chief Qian. When Emian was young, she was beautiful, and she was also good at her skill immediately, which captured her heart. After getting married, although her mother took care of her husband and children at home most of the time, she did not lose any hunting skills.

When Ama was not free in the army, it was her mother who taught her brother, sister and her to ride and shoot. Those days were really carefree.

Kangxi understood it, no wonder Xia Mian always wanted to run out, because she didn't have that consciousness at all.

This reminded him of his imperial grandmother. What she missed most was the time on the Horqin grassland, and she would have no regrets when she could go back and take a look.

But a few years ago, the court was turbulent and required her old man to sit down. Now the situation is stable, but she is old. She insisted on going to Mount Wutai. He arranged for the talent to dare to let her go, and she was still worried day and night. Horqin grassland, thousands of miles away, all the way...

He dare not think.

Moreover, sometimes he was afraid that his emperor grandmother would not come back again, so what would he do?

He was very guilty of this, and his grandmother took care of the overall situation as before. For him and for the stability of the court, she never mentioned going back to Horqin. This made him feel even more sorry for her. It's better.

Thinking of this, Kangxi unconsciously became more intimate and tolerant to Xia Mian, "Sit here, can you still ride and shoot?"

No, Xia Mian can't. The original owner didn't study hard. She is a weak chicken from modern times. How can she be that, for fear that she can't even get on a horse.

"Not very proficient." Xia Mian said "modestly".

"I have time to teach you." Kangxi laughed, his riding and shooting are first-class.

Xia Mian smiled "gratefully" and decided to end this death topic as soon as possible, "The emperor, are you hungry, the maidservant has prepared something for you, would you try it?"

"What's delicious?" Kangxi was also hungry.

Xia Mian looked at Liang Jiugong, and Liang Jiugong immediately ordered a meal.

In a moment, large plates and bowls were put up.

When opened, each dish is delicious and delicious.

Three fresh duck, assorted fish, braised magnolia with sliced ​​meat, etc. are all common dishes.

Suddenly, a plate of golden things attracted the attention of Kangxi. This thing was like a glutinous rice cake, round, the size of a child's fist, but I don't know what it was made of, it was full of yellow particles.

Smell it, it's quite fragrant.

It has a special sweet scent, a burnt scent, and a faint vegetable fragrance.

"This is?" Kangxi asked.

"Guess the emperor." Xia Mian found that Kangxi was also very good at talking, and answered a lot more casually.

Kangxi smiled without saying a word, looked at the thing again, and suddenly said, "Is this made of corn? What is it called, I don't know."

Now it's Xia Mian's turn to be surprised. Can this be guessed too? She was very sure that there was no such thing in the palace before.

"I guessed it right." Kangxi affirmed.

"The emperor is too clever." Xia Mian was bored, "this is called glutinous rice dumplings, made from corn crushed into pellets. Speaking of corn yesterday, the servant girl wanted to give the emperor a taste.

And this sweet potato porridge..." She pointed to the bowl of fragrant porridge.

It was the first time that Xia Mian praised his cleverness. The smile on Kangxi’s face increased. Yesterday he studied sweet potatoes and corn all afternoon, and this morning he told the minister about this matter. Seeing the familiar yellow, he guessed Nothing can be blamed.

However, he has never eaten corn.

Liang Jiugong was very winked, and immediately gave him a dish.

Kangxi began to eat.

Manchurians like to eat pastry, all kinds of pastry pastry, creamy pastry, red bean pastry, but they are all sweet, and made with fine noodles, this pastry and pastry is charred and crispy, and the wild vegetables are salty and crispy. With the yellow noodles on top, it was unexpectedly delicious.

Kangxi's eyes lit up. He had already determined that the yield of corn was very high. He didn't expect it to be so delicious, so why not promote it.

He had tasted the sweet potatoes yesterday, and eat them again today. The porridge is sweet and unpleasant.

These two dishes, Xia Mian could do what he thought.

Ding Dong: Experience 10. Congratulations on getting the emperor’s favor 1, and fifty coins for copper coins.

Xia Mian was fighting with a piece of food, and when she heard this, she was happy. Sure enough, what she thought was right, and she reached the boss again.

In other words, the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room really doesn't mean that this dish is made with delicious flavor and not greasy. It is absolutely absolutely perfect.

Both of them were hungry, and there were only four in a plate of pastry. After a while, they ate all of them, but you can see Liang Jiugong next to the fool. Kangxi is a very restrained person. Since he waited until now, he has never eaten up. After a dish.

An exception can be made today.

Is it really so delicious? He had doubts in his mind.

Xia Mian had finished eating at this time and was drinking tea. Seeing him like this, she looked at the CD and laughed and said, "The emperor likes to eat vegetable pastry so much. If it spreads out, I am afraid that corn will be expensive in Beijing."

It was just a joke, but Kangxi listened to it and thought of a lot.

"The king of Chu is so slim, and many starve to death in the palace." He was familiar with history books, of course he knew this paragraph.

Today at Chao Shang, he wants to promote corn and sweet potatoes, but some ministers objected to him with barbarians, oranges growing Huainan for oranges, and Huaibei growing for citrus fruits. Although he opposed all opinions, he accepted Wei Minguang’s fate. The governor of Guangdong who applied for the letter is the servant of the household department. He is in charge of this matter, but it is certainly not an easy task to do it.

Xia Mian reminded him, why not let the people take the initiative to plant this corn?

This matter is also easy to operate.

After thinking about it for a while, Kangxi thought about a plan and was very excited.

Looking up at Xia Mian, he smiled when he saw Xia Mian leaning on the chair, touching his belly with his hands, with a satisfied expression on his face. He discovered that Xia Mian was really his lucky star. She came to Qing Palace twice, and she solved his two big-troubles, and he couldn't bear to leave her.

"How did you use the pen and ink I gave you?" he asked.

Xia Mian withered as soon as she heard it. She helped him again. Shouldn't she be rewarded? What the **** was practicing calligraphy? Big trotter.

Kangxi knew that, pointing to the small desk on one side, "I have to stare at you to practice, right here, you practice hard, I will criticize Zhezi." Then, he stood up.

aestivation……

In the next room, not long after Kangxi had been sitting down, Liang Jiugong came in with the people from the respect room. At this hour, it was time to turn over the sign.

Kangxi raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Liang Jiugong immediately understood that there was another one in the next room.

Hurry up, he told the people in the respect room to retreat.

Tonight, Xia Chang will be in bed.

As soon as the news spread, the jealous handkerchiefs in the palace had bitten and broken. How many days the emperor hadn't been in the harem, why did he call Xia Mian to go to bed again? It's not fair!
