Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Although the weather is getting cooler now, it is a nice day with bright sunshine today.

The sunlight filled every corner of Yuqing Palace, adding a touch of warmth to the family dinner.

Seeing that everyone was present, Wanyu arranged for everyone to have their meal in the front and back yards.

The sunlight shines through the carved wooden windows into the huge Yuqing Palace, and a novel taste feast is about to begin.

Several young princes were really curious when they saw the different styles of pots on the table, some of which were half clear and half red, and some of which had red pots on both sides.

And although they both have bright red soup bases, they look obviously different.

The air is filled with various flavors such as fresh, sweet, sour, spicy, etc. The smell is complex, but very fragrant.

Wanyu first explained to everyone what the flavors of each pot were, and then arranged a little eunuch behind each prince's seat.

If they were unwilling to cook themselves, the eunuchs would prepare hot pot meat and vegetables for them.

If they like to cook their own hot pot, the eunuchs will prepare fresh vegetables and meat for them at any time.

However, everyone was trying the new pot for the first time, and no one needed the eunuch to do it.

After chatting with the princes for a few words, she took the first and fourth wives to the backyard.

Wanyu took the two of them to sit down and said to them with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, Fourth Brother's wife, I don't know if you can handle spicy food, so I didn't prepare a spicy hot pot like the other brothers did today."

"I specially asked someone to prepare a pepper pot and a mushroom soup pot."

"It tastes very delicious. Just help yourself to whatever you want to eat later."

The eldest wife smiled gently and said, "Okay, I'll let my second brother and sister-in-law take care of it."

The Fourth Lady also curled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a faint smile.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Wanyu waved her hand nonchalantly, "We are sisters-in-law. We will have plenty of time to spend together in the future. There's no need to be so polite."

"Today, I invite my eldest sister-in-law and my fourth brother's wife to our Yuqing Palace for dinner. In the future, if there is a happy event in the courtyard of my eldest sister-in-law and my fourth brother's wife, the prince and I will also come to visit."

"We're all family. If we keep interacting with each other, our relationship will improve."

"Besides, I just entered the palace and don't understand many things. I will need my eldest sister-in-law and fourth brother's wife to give me more advice in the future."

The two of them really didn't expect that the future Crown Princess would be so friendly and had no intention of competing with them at all.

In particular, the eldest wife had already prepared herself to be troubled by the prince's wife today.

However, I didn't expect that this second brother's wife was not only kind, but also a wonderful person who could speak well, which made me have an even better impression of her.

Although his master does not get along with the prince, the affairs between them cannot affect the women in the harem for now.

So the eldest wife also said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law is right."

"If your second brother's wife has any problems in the future, you can come to the South Third Institute to find me. I will never refuse to help if I can."

The Fourth Lady also smiled and nodded, thinking to herself that it was a good thing that the Crown Prince's wife didn't mention the concubine in the backyard just now.

At least he didn't think of praising the concubine in front of his wife.

Otherwise, if the prince and his wife interfere, his future life will be even more difficult.

"The Fourth Master has a good relationship with the Crown Prince and the Second Brother. He always puts the Crown Prince first. If you have anything to do in the future, please feel free to ask for instructions."

Wanyu smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite."

"Today I will have tea instead of wine. Thank you, sister-in-law and fourth brother's wife."

As she spoke, she raised the teacup in front of her and gestured to the two of them.

The two of them naturally responded in agreement, then raised their teacups and returned the greeting.

Then Wanyu asked the two of them to taste the pot prepared today.

The two first dipped the beef in a mushroom soup pot and were amazed by how delicious it was!

The beef has a firm texture and a special flavor.

It rolls in the mushroom soup, and while maturing, it absorbs the essence of the soup and becomes smooth and juicy.

With every bite, you can feel the elasticity of the meat and the blending of the soup.

Every time you chew the beef, it releases a rich meaty aroma, mixed with the delicious sweetness of the mushroom soup, making you want to taste it again.

After tasting the mushroom soup, the two tried the pepper pot on the side.

First, there is a refreshing acidity on the palate.

This acid has a fruity aroma, so it is not sharp or irritating.

Instead, it is like a gentle reminder that awakens dormant taste buds, invigorates the entire mouth, and stimulates appetite!

Then, there is a light sweetness.

The sweetness and sourness of the tomato soup complement each other, adding a touch of softness and layering.

Then, there was the meaty solo.

Lamb and beef, in the hot boiling tomato soup, release the charm of their respective meat qualities.

The meat aroma is rich but not greasy, and it blends perfectly with the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes. When tasting it, people can feel the deliciousness of the meat and the sweetness of the soup.

The three women in the backyard had a great appetite because of today's pot.

The group of young men in the front yard were no less impressive.

Especially the spicy hot pot is the most popular among people.

A big chopstick of meat slices in the spicy and delicious pot is like a new world for these brothers who are used to eating meat in clear soup.

The spiciness spreads from the tip of the tongue to the throat, bringing waves of taste stimulation and a subtle pleasure of exploring new food.

Especially for the older brothers who have already grown up, drinking a glass of good wine is really refreshing and satisfying!

At that time, chili peppers had not yet been consumed in the Qing Palace, so Wanyu knew that these princes could not eat too spicy food.

So she asked people to prepare a very slightly spicy soup base.

Let these brothers also have a process of acceptance.

However, for my brother who has always had a light diet, this hot pepper hot pot base is really delicious.

Especially when the weather is getting cooler, eating this hot pepper hotpot will make your whole body feel hot.

The princes in the front yard were eating with relish, and the ladies in the back yard were also eating with gusto.

Even Kangxi in the Qianqing Palace and the Empress Dowager in the Ningshou Palace were very satisfied with the meal and repeatedly praised the prince and his wife for their filial piety.

Today, Yuqing Palace hosted a banquet for all the princes, and it can be said that both the guests and the hosts had a great time.

Even the eldest prince Yinzhen, who always liked to find fault with the crown prince, was eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls, sweating profusely, and kept asking the eunuch behind him to bring him more meat.

Fortunately, there are various meats rewarded by Kangxi today, otherwise, according to the way they eat today, Yuqing Palace might really be embarrassed because of insufficient preparation.

However, the Crown Prince's wife, who was dining with the First and Fourth Wife in the backyard, was unaware of this.

After eating the delicious and unique hot pot, I was so surprised by the novelty and delicious Yin? that I was reluctant to leave.

If it weren't for the Fifth Prince Yinqi and the Eleventh Prince Yinzhen, who embarrassedly dragged Yinzhen along, and also dragged the Tenth Prince Yinzhen along? Follow Yinzhen.

Maybe the two of them will have to stay in Yuqing Palace and have a midnight snack before they are willing to leave.

However, the two of them were not willing to leave. Before leaving, they kept saying that they would come to see their second sister-in-law next time.

His real intention is not to drink, and it is very clear.

Wanyu nodded with amusement.

That afternoon, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager gave rewards.

After that, the biological mothers of the princes in the harem sent many gifts of thanks.

Among them, Concubine Niohuru and Concubine Yi had the most.
