Food in the Dream of the Red Chamber: Baochai's Rebirth Chronicle

Queen Mother Sheep's tone was too gentle and her attitude was too sincere. She seemed to be in a trance just like Mrs. Xue's gentle words every time.

Xue Baobao was stunned for a moment, and the pair of bracelets were put on her wrists by Queen Mother Sheep.

The Supreme Emperor laughed and said, "The Queen Mother is blessed, and it is also my blessing. I heard that Suiyan has a lot of research on health preservation. I will go to talk to my father more often in the future."

In the past, Xue Baobao was the daughter of a foreign minister, so it was not convenient for him to see her often, but now it was naturally different.

Queen Mother Sheep smiled and said, "Daughter, I have just recognized you, and now I have asked the Emperor to take notice of you.

I don’t want to talk about anything else, the emperor only remembered to make Suiyan’s canonization and marriage recognition ceremony more grand.”

Everyone was shocked that they actually had to go through the formal ceremony of canonization and marriage recognition. The Queen Mother really wanted to recognize her daughter!

The Supreme Emperor stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "That's natural, Queen Mother, don't worry, I finally got a daughter in my old age, and she is so well-behaved and happy. If I don't love her, who will?"

Queen Mother Sheep was overjoyed to receive the Emperor's approval, and immediately took Xue Baobao to recognize her.

The number of heirs in the royal family is very few. Except for those who are enfeoffed, there are only a few of them.

Xue Baobao first paid a visit to the Supreme Emperor, Queen Mother Yang, and all the concubines, and then met with the Emperor and Baozhuang's two sworn brothers, the Queen, and all the concubines.

Then Prince Xiao Xun and the Crown Princess greeted her and called her Queen Aunt.

Finally, Xiao Xun's little daughter, who had just turned one year old, was also brought over and she was called Grandma Huang.

Xue Baobao, "..."

okay~
Queen Mother Yang sincerely thanked Xue Baobao, and she sincerely treated Xue Baobao as her daughter. She watched closely as the emperor set the date for the canonization and marriage ceremony, and then relented and told everyone to disperse.

That day, Xue Baobao stayed at Cining Palace.

This time, she did not stay in the side hall where she originally stayed when she came to Cining Palace.

Queen Mother Yang tidied up the east wing of the main hall where she lived and decorated it with splendor, and Xue Baobao officially moved in.

Early the next morning, Xue Baobao got up at the normal time, washed himself, and was going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast when Bizhu came. Queen Mother Yang invited her over.

Xue Baobao has lived in Cining Palace for so long. Except for important days, he has never seen Queen Mother Yang get up so early. He obviously wants to see her.

When Xue Baobao followed Bizhu to the main palace bedroom, Queen Mother Yang was washing her clothes. When she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Suiyan is here just in time. Come and help me pick out a hairpin."

She doesn't like luxury, so today she simply wore a gauze-patterned large-sleeved dress, paired with a brown horse-faced skirt, and her hair was simply pulled back into a bun.

Xue Baobao chose two simple yet elegant flat hairpins inlaid with red jewels.

Queen Mother Sheep praised Xue Baobao with a smile. After everything was done, she helped Xue Baobao stand up and said with a smile, "This morning, I will accompany my mother to the garden."

The Queen Mother Sheep was in a good mood. She supported Xue Baobao and walked to the imperial garden, while talking to Xue Baobao about the rules of the palace and telling Xue Baobao what he should pay attention to in the palace.

After the aura of the Queen Mother faded away, she was just like Mrs.

Queen Mother Sheep talked for a long time, then suddenly remembered and warned, "From now on, there is no need to get up early to prepare breakfast for Xiao Qi.

He is a brother and you are a sister, so you don’t have to get used to his picky habits.”

Xue Baobao didn't know whether Queen Mother Yang was sincere or fake, so he just followed his true feelings, "Empress, I like to cook and make some food when I have nothing to do.

Unless something happens, when I am at home, I mostly prepare my own meals for my family.”

Seeing her sincere expression, Queen Mother Yang couldn't help but patted her hand with emotion, "You are a good child, and a princess must have the dignity of a princess.

From now on, if you are interested, just do it. If you are not interested, forget it.

I have now figured out a bit about Xiao Qi's temperament. As long as the food is not overcooked and is simply cooked, he will still be willing to take a few bites."

The Queen Mother Sheep spoke sincerely and thoughtfully, and Xue Baobao knew what was good and what was good, so she responded respectfully.

The Queen Mother Sheep sighed, "Suiyan, Xiao Qi once told me that with you as his sister, he can certainly eat the food you cooked by yourself, but this is not the reason why he wants to be your brother."

Today, I also want to tell you that by keeping you by my side, I can certainly make Xiao Qi eat a few more mouthfuls of food, but this is by no means the reason why I want to keep you by my side."

Xue Baobao raised his eyes in surprise. Queen Mother Yang was looking down at her, with the same sincerity and sincerity in her eyes as Baozhuang.

Somehow, Xue Baobao's eye sockets started to feel hot. He quickly lowered his head and let out a low hum.

At this moment, someone from the palace came to invite him, and the emperor summoned him.

Queen Mother Yang frowned, "What is the emperor doing when he sees the princess this early in the morning?"

The people in the palace were frightened and saluted, "Your Majesty, I don't know this."

Xue Baobao guessed that it must be about penicillin and said with a smile, "I should have gone to greet the emperor and empress. Madam, please go back to the palace first. I will come later."

Queen Mother Sheep patted her hand comfortingly, "Don't be afraid. If the emperor dares to embarrass you, come back and tell me that I will make the decision for you."

Xue Baobao responded with a smile and followed the palace attendants to Qianqing Palace.

Before arriving at Qianqing Palace, I saw a long and jade-like building standing at the door from a distance.

After returning to Beijing, he had grown a lot taller and had gradually lost the frail appearance of a young man.

Xue Baobao quickened his pace slightly and asked, "Has the Emperor also summoned you?"

"That's not true. When the poor monk heard that the emperor's brother summoned his sister, he came to join in the fun."

Xue Baobao, "..."

It turns out that this is how "fun" happens, and I learned a lesson.

As he spoke, Baozhuang smiled and saluted her with his hands clasped together, and he called his sister with a smile.

Xue Baobao subconsciously called him brother, and saw Baozhuang smiling and calling him sister again.

Xue Baobao, "..."

When Baozhuang saw that she didn't answer, he smiled and called his sister again.

Xue Baobao humbly asked for advice, "What's wrong with you?"

Need medicine?
The corners of Baozhuang's raised lips almost reached behind his ears, "It's okay, I just wanted to call you."

As he spoke, he called his sister, Xue Baobao, "..."

Is this my brother's addiction?

"Sister, I feel like I'm dreaming. From today on, I am your brother, your real brother!"

Baozhuang still maintained his grin from the corner of his mouth to the back of his ears and looked at Xue Baobao with bright eyes, as if he was watching the dream he longed for finally fall into his arms.

"On the day when you become the princess, I will give you the most beautiful phoenix crown, which is a hundred times more beautiful than the flower crown that Commander Yu gave you!"

Baozhuang pointed to the diamond hair crown worn on Xue Baobao's bun, full of confidence, "It's so beautiful that you want to wear it every day, and you don't want to look at this gift from Commander Yu again!"

Xue Baobao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart felt slightly hot.

"Okay, the emperor is still waiting. There will be plenty of time in the future to call sister, come in."

Baozhuang nodded with bright eyes, "Okay, sister, please come this way, sister."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Okay, as long as you are happy!When the emperor saw Baozhuang also coming with Xue Baobao, he laughed and asked, "What is Xiaoqi doing? Are you afraid that I will bully Suiyan?"

Baozhuang smiled and clasped his hands together, "Brother Huang is overly concerned. This poor monk is just having nothing to do. He came with his sister to pay his respects to Brother Huang."

The emperor shook his head and smiled, and praised the Xue family's righteous deeds of donating money and materials to the Shanxi earthquake. He also praised Xue Baobao in a refined manner.

Xue Baobao, "..."

The scumbag emperor must have been reading the book all night long, and maybe he even asked for outside help to get back to where he was last night!
The emperor was so excited that he was addicted to endorsements for a long time. The topic changed and he asked about penicillin.

Xue Baobao answered truthfully, and the emperor laughed and said, "No wonder the queen mother wants to recognize her daughter. Suiyan is indeed as beautiful as an orchid and as talented as an immortal."

Xue Baobao, "..."

This seems to be a praising of beautiful jade. Your Majesty, we scumbags should stop endorsing it randomly, okay?

Xue Baobao said matter-of-factly, "If it weren't for the Seventh Prince, I wouldn't have been able to take that last step."

The emperor looked at Baozhuang with admiration, "Xiaoqi also contributed a lot. If this penicillin can be promoted and used, it will benefit all people.

Can you just set up a medical hall in Daxiangguo Temple on a small scale? Do you have any follow-up plans? "

Baozhuang looked at Xue Baobao, and Xue Baobao looked back eagerly, pretending to be at a loss.

Baozhuang, "..."

If my sister wants to be humble and hide her wisdom, let him do it!
Baozhuang recited the Buddha's name, bowed his head and put his hands together, "Brother, the poor monk and Suiyan are ignorant of worldly affairs. They only wanted to use their meager efforts to cure diseases and save people.

We want to benefit all people, but we are powerless and let the emperor brother arrange it."

The emperor touched the short beard under his chin and smiled with satisfaction.

Since he took the emperor's younger brother back, most of his father's thoughts have been on teaching his younger brother and discussing scriptures and Taoism with him, which really saved him a lot of worry.

Now the emperor's younger brother has even gotten him penicillin that is almost as valuable as a mountain of gold and silver, which is even more of an unexpected surprise...

……

……

When Xue Baobao and Baozhuang returned to Cining Palace, Queen Mother Yang had already ordered a large table of exquisite breakfast to be prepared and invited the Supreme Emperor to join them.

As expected, Baozhuang did as Queen Mother Yang said, barely using chopsticks, and only used a small bowl of boiled white rice porridge.

After the meal, the Supreme Emperor was in high spirits and took Baozhuang and Xue Baobao to talk about health maintenance.

I was very surprised to see that Xue Baobao was indeed very proficient as Baozhuang said, and he often had new and insightful words. He kept talking about lunch time, stayed for lunch again, and then left reluctantly.

The Emperor left, but Baozhu refused to leave. He stayed in Cining Palace and took a nap before going to Yingmao, the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

After the New Year, the Supreme Emperor arranged for him to join the Ministry of Personnel and gave him the false title of supervisor, asking him to go in and learn how to deal with people.

When a great Buddha like him is gone, the officials naturally don't dare to arrange any hard work for him, let alone restrain him, and just treat him as a Buddha.

Baozhuang didn't care much about this job. He was considered diligent if he could go there every three days.

Today, I went reluctantly at the urging of Queen Mother Yang.

Xue Baobao also took a nap for a while, and after waking up, he went to the kitchen. The Emperor had some symptoms of osteoporosis, so she promised to make him some tonic soup.

The first priority in treating osteoporosis is to nourish the kidneys. It is said that "kidney governs bones and generates marrow, and the brain is the sea of ​​marrow." When kidney essence is sufficient, bone marrow will be replenished.

If you have osteoporosis, you can drink more bone broth, preferably beef bone broth, because beef bones contain a lot of mucin-like proteins.

Another thing to note is that when making soup, the bones should be smashed so that the marrow fluid of mucin-like proteins and collagen in the bones can be dissolved in the soup, so that they can be more easily absorbed by the body.

She was simmering soup when she suddenly heard a Qingyue voice excitedly calling her sister. Turning around, it turned out to be Baozhuang.

Xue Baobao couldn't help but asked with a smile, "How come you are back now? Why did you stop doing your errands?"

Baozhuang showed a rare childishness and puffed his lips, "There is nothing to do there, I might as well come back and watch you make soup."

Xue Baobao laughed. Baoduan had already walked to her side and asked happily, "Drinking beef bone soup today? That's great!"

The Queen Mother Sheep always said that Baodang was a picky eater, but Baby Xue thought he couldn't be easier to raise.

No matter what he was given to eat, he would say it was great with bright eyes, and then eat it all, then stare at her with bright eyes and ask for another bowl!
Definitely a foodie favorite among all chefs.

Xue Baobao took off his purse and took off one of them, "Melon seeds, they taste like plums. Do you want to eat them?"

Baozhuang immediately smiled and curled his eyebrows, took it, sat on the pony and ate melon seeds with Xue Baobao, and said, "My palace has already been selected. My father said that the original mansion will be demolished and rebuilt. I think it is too slow." .

My father has agreed to just make some repairs. I will be able to move out of the palace in a month at most after you complete the ceremony of making me the princess.

You don’t like to go into the palace. When the time comes, if I want to see you, I don’t have to ask my mother to summon you into the palace. I can just climb a ladder there! "

Xue Baobao, "..."

Wait, climb a ladder?Why not take a walk or ride a horse?

Xue Baobao choked and spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth, "Climb, climb the ladder?"

Baozhuang turned to look at her, his amber eyes full of joyful smile, "Yes, if Mrs. Xue agrees to open a small door, it will be closer, and there will be no need to climb the ladder!"

Xue Baobao quickly began to think about who lived next door to her house, then shook her head and gave up. No matter who lived, if they met this person, they still had to give way obediently?

Baozhuang grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in his mouth, took out a large sketch from his sleeve and spread it on his knees, motioning for Xue Baobao to come over and look at it together.

"Look, I'm going to get rid of all these useless houses, rockeries, etc., and use all the free space to grow various medicinal herbs.

The place is very big, and when the time comes, even if you want to plant a foot of sky, it will be fine.

Your two yards are a bit small. If you want to plant something but can't, tell me and I'll plant it for you.

When the time comes, you can take care of it yourself, or you can let me take care of it for you."

Xue Baobao, "..."

Well, generally speaking, if I want to plant something but can't, or if it's inconvenient to plant, I plant it directly in Yu Xin's village outside the city.

Xue Baobao looked at the excited Baozhu and advised tactfully, "My lord, you think these houses and rockeries are useless now, but they will be very useful after you marry the princess."

There is really no need to turn a prince's palace into a herbal medicine planting experimental field, and then you, a noble prince, can live in a thatched shed in a hundred acres of medicinal fields.

Baozhuang was stunned, "Princess? The poor monk is from outside the country, how can there be a princess?"

Xue Baobao, "..."

Then you, a foreigner, still eat meat every day!
Baozhuang noticed her disapproval and emphasized again, "There won't be any princess."

Baozhuang's tone was too serious, as if he was making an ancient oath, swearing that he would keep his promise and remember his faith.

Xue Baobao was stunned. Because of Baozhuang's identity, his outstanding appearance, and his eating preference of eating eight meals of meat a day, she had never taken his so-called "monasticism" to heart. Yu Xin even more They called him "fake monk" one after another.

But now, Baozhuang's look and tone told her that what she thought was wrong——

"Girl girl!"

Awei's anxious shouts sounded. Xue Baobao came to his senses. He stood up and looked at the door. He saw Awei bumping in three steps and then two steps. He dragged her and ran out to death.
"Girl! Young Master Yu Biao just sent someone to tell you that he was chased by his enemies. He was seriously injured and fell into the Songhua River. He is not sure whether he is alive or dead!"
Young Master Yu Biao has already gone to ask for an audience with the emperor, saying that he is afraid of chaos at home and asks the girl to go home and preside over——"
