Chapter 183 The Domineering Concubine Chen 3
She didn't say anything, just smiled and let Qiuyan put it away.
The emperor came over in the evening and didn't see any soap in her palace, so he asked about it casually.
She replied casually.
"Put it away."
The emperor thought she was reluctant to use it.
The next day, he found Bai Miaomiao and got the formula from her, then handed it to the people below. Soon, boxes of soap were produced.
The group of people below not only produced soap, but also created various exquisite styles.
Unlike the one Bai Miaomiao took out, it was not delicate at all, just a long strip.
When the emperor received the soap presented to him from below, he suddenly felt a little disgusted with the soap in his hand.
On this day, all the concubines in the harem received soaps of different levels.
Bai Miaomiao also received a box, which contained twenty pieces in total, each of which was extremely exquisite.
She also didn't expect that other people knew how to make it into other shapes. After all, she underestimated the ancients.
She recently had a new idea, but she has no plan for cannons and gunpowder yet.
The emperor has already sent people to look for potatoes and sweet potatoes, so she is no longer needed.
After thinking for a long time, she decided to start with food.
She now understood that the era she traveled to was an imaginary dynasty.
A dynasty that does not exist in history.
She is now in the Dayou Dynasty, and the current emperor is Emperor Ruixi.
There are many things missing in this era.
The food is usually steamed or boiled.
She also has a lot of room to maneuver.
She had what the emperor needed, and the emperor treated her very well.
So even though she was just a small noble, she had her own separate residence and kitchen.
She decided to use the small kitchen to stir-fry the hot pot base.
With hot pot base, no matter what you cook, it will taste good.
To make hot pot base, you need a lot of things.
Just gathering all the spices takes time.
In this dynasty, spices were all medicinal herbs, so Bai Miaomiao asked the palace maids to go to the Imperial Hospital to get them.
The emperor had someone inform the Imperial Hospital, so Bai Miaomiao's people easily got what she wanted.
Fuling raised an eyebrow at the news coming from below.
She also wanted to eat hot pot, but was worried about how to get the hot pot base without arousing suspicion, so Bai Miaomiao took action.
Perhaps because of her role as the protagonist, Bai Miaomiao easily gathered all the necessary ingredients, and in less than an afternoon she had cooked the hot pot base.
Although Bai Miaomiao's residence is remote, there are many palace servants nearby.
Not long after Bai Miaomiao started frying the hot pot base, the aroma attracted the palace servants nearby. They gathered outside Jingyuanxuan and refused to leave.
This was a smell they had never smelled before.
Very fragrant.
Some people were choked and coughed continuously, but refused to leave.
Soon, the situation in Jingyuanxuan spread throughout the palace.
After dealing with memorials for the whole morning, the emperor felt tired. Just as he was about to go out for a walk in the imperial garden, he heard a few palace maids gathered together and whispering.
He called the person over and asked, only to find out that Bai Miaomiao was researching something new again.
So he changed his route and headed towards Jingyuanxuan.
I met several concubines of lower rank on the way.
These concubines were also curious after hearing the palace people's discussions and wanted to go over to find out what was going on. Unexpectedly, they got a pleasant surprise.
When everyone saw the emperor, they immediately forgot about Jingyuanxuan and Bai Miaomiao.
Their hearts and eyes are filled with only the emperor.
Unfortunately, the emperor did not understand romance and was indifferent to their flirtations and flattery. He walked past them and went straight to Jingyuanxuan.
The palace is used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, so these low-ranking concubines have a hard time, so they want to please the emperor.
result………
They stood there and stamped their feet, twisting the handkerchiefs in their hands into twists.
They thought they were prettier than Concubine Miao, but the emperor seemed not to see it.
Although they were all nobles, they did not have separate residences and were all crowded in one yard.
Bai Miaomiao not only has a separate yard, but I heard she also has a separate kitchen.
This is what I just heard from the palace maid.
They never knew before.
Before today, they all thought that the emperor did not like Concubine Miao, otherwise he would not have arranged her in the remote Jingyuanxuan.
But after hearing what the palace maids said today, they finally understood how it was not about dislike.
Obviously, I like it very much.
Otherwise, she would not be given a separate yard and small kitchen.
One of the nobles with a baby face spoke.
"What should we do now? Should we still go to Jingyuanxuan?"
"You guys go if you want to go, I have something to do so I'll go back first."
The person who spoke was a noble man with a dignified appearance.
She saw clearly that going there would definitely not bring any good results. Instead of doing that, it would be better to go back first and make a long-term plan.
As soon as she left, the other nobles stood there for a while, then turned around and walked back.
As he got closer to Jingyuanxuan, the emperor also smelled the overbearing fragrance.
This was something he had never smelled in more than twenty years.
As he approached Jingyuanxuan, the emperor was startled by a group of people lying outside.
Not to mention the emperor, even the eunuchs around him were shocked.
Ma Yixin was shocked and took a step forward. He shook off the dust and shouted loudly in his unique hoarse voice.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The group of people lying in Jingyuanxuan had panic-stricken looks on their faces and turned around and knelt down in fear.
"Your servant greets His Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
The combined voices of these people were so shocking that they startled Bai Miaomiao who was frying hot pot base in the small kitchen.
But at this critical moment, she couldn't leave. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still didn't go out.
She believed that as long as she could cook the hot pot base herself, the emperor would not only not blame her, but would reward her instead.
She was right. The emperor was not angry at all when he didn't see her coming out to greet him.
The emperor sent away the palace servants surrounding Jingyuanxuan, left Ma Yixin and the other palace servants outside the courtyard, and walked in with big strides with his hands behind his back.
The higher you are from the kitchen, the more overbearing the aroma.
The emperor stood at the kitchen door and watched the busy figures in the kitchen without suddenly making a sound to disturb them.
Although Bai Miaomiao was completely focused on the hot pot base in front of her, she still heard the sound of approaching footsteps.
She had previously instructed that no one should come to disturb her without her order.
Since it couldn't be a palace maid, then it could only be that one person.
Sure enough, when she turned around, the person she saw was the one she had been thinking about day and night.
She smiled at the emperor and continued with her actions.
Half an hour later, seeing that it was almost done, she took out some and placed them in a container prepared in advance, and left some in the pot to add the bone soup cooked in advance, and when the water boiled, she added the meatballs and vegetables.
When the meatballs were steamed, she filled a large bowl and placed it on the stone table outside for the emperor to taste.
The emperor, who got the chopsticks, couldn't wait to pick up the meatball and take a bite. Suddenly, an overbearing fragrance filled his mouth, and the emperor's eyes lit up.
It tasted pretty much as he'd imagined.
It smells good and tastes even better, spicy and numbing.
Bai Miaomiao stood aside and watched every move of the emperor.
She knew it worked.
Even though his mouth was red from the spiciness, the emperor did not stop eating. He did not put down his chopsticks until he had swallowed the last meatball.
He wanted to eat more, but his stomach wouldn't allow it.
"Miao Guiren, what is this...what is it called?"
"Your Majesty, this is a new food I've developed. I call it hot pot base. Whether it's stir-fried or steamed, it's delicious..."
The emperor had just experienced this and had no doubt about Bai Miaomiao's words.
"Pack up the remaining items for me and give me a reward. I'll have Ma Yixin bring them back later."
Bai Miaomiao wanted to refuse, but when she met the emperor's unquestionable gaze, she couldn't say no.
Ma Yixin was holding a ceramic jar and following the emperor step by step.
Even though it's covered, the fragrance can't be blocked out.
Ma Yixin's awakening is simply torture.
You can only look at it but not eat it.
The emperor had no idea of Ma Yixin's inner thoughts. He took the freshly made hot pot base and went straight to Yaohua Palace.
"Cousin, look what good things your cousin brought you?"
Fuling could never have imagined that the emperor would eagerly send her the hot pot base that Bai Miaomiao had just made.
No matter what she thought in her heart, Fuling had to pretend to be confused.
"Cousin, what's so mysterious?"
"Of course it's delicious. I promise it's something you've never tasted before, cousin."
The emperor spoke with such confidence that people who didn't know the truth thought he had done it.
Fuling did not disappoint the emperor and was very supportive.
"What good stuff? I haven't eaten it before. I don't believe it."
"Don't believe it, you'll know in a moment."
The emperor ordered someone to go to the kitchen to get the pot and ingredients.
He followed Bai Miaomiao's steps, first putting in the hot pot base, then adding bone soup, and when the soup boiled, he added various vegetables and meatballs. After a while, the fragrance filled the entire hall.
Fuling had an ancient version of hot pot.
She couldn't help but sigh at the powerful halo of the heroine.
In this era, she actually managed to create the hot pot base.
Fuling was looking forward to Bai Miaomiao's next move.
Bai Miaomiao did not disappoint Fuling, and she then played with the soybeans in various ways.
Tofu, tofu pudding, dried tofu, bean curd skin, soy milk, stinky tofu...
The only other soy products that people can easily accept is stinky tofu.
At the beginning, the smell scared away a lot of people.
Every new food developed by Bai Miaomiao will appear on the emperor's table first.
When stinky tofu appeared on the table for the first time, the emperor thought that the imperial kitchen was serving inferior and unfresh ingredients, and the people in the imperial kitchen were so happy that they won the Nine Clans Candy Crush game.
Fortunately, it was explained clearly in the end.
Even so, the emperor refused to serve stinky tofu again.
His refusal doesn't mean others will refuse too.
Poria cocos is known as stinky tofu at Bai Miaomiao Research Institute.
With a wave of his hand, he gave Bai Miaomiao five thousand taels of silver.
This was like a signal, and the other concubines followed suit.
In just one month, Bai Miaomiao became a wealthy woman.
She realized that it was useless to rely on the emperor if she wanted to have enough food.
So she found Fuling privately and said she wanted to help Fuling.
Fuling was confused at the time and didn't think she needed help.
She directly rejected Bai Miaomiao.
Bai Miaomiao is not someone who gives up easily.
She appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them.
She believed that there was no woman who entered the palace who did not want the emperor's favor.
"My Lady, I know you may not believe what I'm saying now, but I'm really here to help you. Don't you want to be the Queen?"
Fuling leaned lazily on the couch and slowly opened her eyes when she heard the words.
"Miao Guiren, you are raising your hand too high."
Of course Fuling wants the position of queen, but not now.
In fact, compared to the position of queen, Fuling wants the throne more.
But when Fuling thought of the endless memorials to review, she lost the interest.
"My Lady, are you truly willing to accept this? With your family background, the position of Empress should be yours..."
Fuling narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Miaomiao with a smile.
"Miao Guiren, do you really think so?"
Somehow, facing Fuling's piercing gaze, Bai Miaomiao felt a little guilty.
She concealed her guilty conscience and said it with a stiff upper lip.
"Of course, I think it's not just me, everyone thinks so."
Fuling suddenly felt bored and waved her hand.
"I understand, you can go back first!"
"Your Highness, I'm leaving now!"
As Bai Miaomiao walked out, she was thinking about where she went wrong.
Every word she said since entering Yaohua Palace was carefully considered in her mind, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But looking at the imperial concubine's expression just now, it seemed like she knew something?
Bai Miaomiao shook her head and put aside the unrealistic guess in her mind. She didn't think the imperial concubine would know her plan.
She wanted to do something, but she didn't tell anyone.
Although Fuling didn't know her plan, she had the script in her hand and knew her well.
Bai Miaomiao is the type of person who says she doesn't care, but actually cares a lot.
When she first entered the palace, she chose to live in the remote Jingyuanxuan with the intention of spending her retirement in the palace.
But when it really happened as she wished, she was not happy about it.
Come out again and start looking for a sense of existence.
Try every possible way to make your presence felt in front of the emperor.
Whenever something new was researched, it would be presented to the emperor immediately.
The emperor asked her what reward she wanted?
She always looks like she has no desires or demands.
So the emperor rewarded her with gold and silver according to his own ideas.
After receiving the gold and silver, she smiled in front of others, and then cursed.
She thought the emperor didn't understand her.
Since she didn't get the favor from the emperor, she went to find the imperial concubine Xu Fuling, ostensibly to help Xu Fuling take the throne of queen.
In fact, she wanted this position herself.
She had tested the emperor openly and secretly, but the emperor never responded.
The only person in the harem who could be her rival was Concubine Chen Xu Fuling.
All I can say is that her vision is too narrow.
Only see what you want to see.
Even if Concubine Chen was gone, there were still Concubine De and Concubine Jin. It was impossible for her, a small noble lady, to have the turn.
But Bai Miaomiao doesn’t think so?
She felt that with her abilities, the position of queen was within her grasp.
She thought that the emperor had not made her the queen for a long time because he was definitely concerned about Concubine Chen's father.
Little did she know that this was just an excuse for her to comfort herself.
She found an excuse for the emperor.
