Chapter 496, eat and drink
Jia Ru is now a regular visitor to Yao Jiaxin’s Bitong Academy. Yao Jiaxin can chat with him, but Hong Xiaoxu, Hong Xiaomao doesn’t like Jia very much.
According to Yao Jiaxin's request, the official kiln had just made a batch of coffee cups - that is, cups with handles.
Traditional cups and cups are not equipped with handles, and the one with handles is a teapot.
Although drinking tea with a cup is more classical and elegant, it is really not very convenient! Holding the cup holder with one hand and opening the lid with the other hand, you must be careful when drinking tea. The angle of pouring should not be too large, otherwise the tea cup on the cup holder will fall off!
But the cup with a handle will not be worried about this, and it can greatly reduce the number of cups that Hong Xiaoxing throws and saves harem expenses.
In fact, Yao Jiaxin wants a big belly mug that has a large capacity and is used to drink milk tea!
But... she didn't explain clearly and said she wanted to bring a cup. As a result, the official kiln cooked her a batch of coffee cups, which were also equipped with a support, but there was no lid - a standard Western-style coffee cup.
It seems that coffee cups are based on the evolution of tea cups, but Westerners do not know how to use tea cups, so they invented tea cups with handles without lids?
Forget it, just use it. At least it is more convenient than a teacup and is not easy to fall.
Although it is a Western-style coffee cup, the patterns are all traditional auspicious patterns. The elegant white ground of the moon and the enamel cup with magnolia pattern has a capacity of about 2000 milliliters, which is good to drink milk tea.
Jia looked at the fresh cup and couldn't help but smile: "The Empress is so kind."
Yao Jiaxin: She just wants to be convenient...
After swallowing a large mouthful of milk tea full of pudding, Yao Jiaxin felt very comfortable!
The snacks with milk tea are also very delicate, including hazelnut crisps, rock powder cakes, kidney bean rolls, five-spice almonds and charcoal-roasted cashews. Yao Jiaxin liked eating nuts in her previous life and stocked up a lot of mustard seed spaces, but unfortunately she had eaten them all long ago. Fortunately, after eating all the nuts in stock, she also became spoiled. She wanted to eat sweet almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc., but it was just a matter of one sentence.
Drinking milk tea and eating nuts is really a perfect match!
The hazelnut crispy is also very well baked. It is crispy and fragrant when you bite it, making you excited your index finger.
However, Jia seemed not very interested in these nuts, so he only ate lilac cake and kidney bean rolls.
"The dim sum here is so exquisite and delicious." Jia thought that when she came to the imperial concubine to pay tribute, why did she seem to be eating for free?
Yao Jiaxin has killed four or five pieces of hazelnut crisps and half of the almond cashews. "If you taste delicious, eat more." - She has plenty of snacks here, so she can do it!
Jia: I'm really here to eat and drink???
Such a life is not bad. Jia thought to himself.
If one day the emperor no longer needs him to play this fake concubine...what should he go?
Looking at the imperial concubine who was completely disrespectful in front of her, the imperial concubine was concentrating on drinking milk tea and eating dried fruits, looking more like a greedy cat.
Jia quickly suppressed this disrespectful thought. Before he knew it, he was a little used to the wealth and glory of the concubines in the harem. He wore silk and satin every day, and ate delicious food. His only trouble was that he had to face the sour words of other concubines. With the imperial concubine above, the concubines below dared not do too much.
If I spend the rest of my life like this, it would be better.
But... Long lively is already in his forties. Due to the dignity of a man, he needs to act as a fake concubine. But the emperor finally got old for a day, and it was no wonder that Jie Shi would no longer summon concubines. At that time, it was also the time when he lost his value.
At that time...will Master Long live to kill him to silence him?
Even if he doesn't kill him, he will have to take off his identity, stay away from the capital, and spend the rest of his life in a remote place.
Thinking of this, Jia touched the golden hairpin on his head. Since entering the palace, the emperor and the imperial concubine have given him a lot of jewelry. If it were exchanged for silver, it would be enough for him to be a wealthy farmer.
After Jia left, Yao Jiaxin spread it flat on the Luohan couch and slowly ate it.
He was drowsy while lying down. At this time, Nongyun ran in happily, "Empress, great joy! Beizi Fujin just gave birth to a son, mother and son are safe!"
Yao Jiaxin crawled up and said, "Is it a boy? That's great!"
Yao Jiaxin is truly grateful for Liu Niang. Although she does not value boys over girls, in this era of boys over girls, if a woman has no son, there will be no one to rely on in the future. Although Minghai is very good to Liu Niang now, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not change her mind in the future.
Yao Jiaxin immediately ordered Nongyun to go to the warehouse to get some ginseng, bird's nest, some soft silk and fur, and ordered Wang Yicheng to send it to Minghai Beizi Mansion.
This child is the fourth child of Yao Jia and Aisin Jueluo, and it is of great significance. This means that Liu Niang, the concubine of Bei Zi, has established a firm foothold.
In a blink of an eye, Princess Gulun Huaike's third child was born, and she was also a boy. She was born on a cold and cold day, so she was named Qinghan. However, the eldest princess gave birth to three children in a row, and her body was a little damaged. The imperial physician said that it is not advisable to have a child within three years.
However, this is not a big deal for Huaike, who already has two sons and one daughter.
In a blink of an eye, it was already the eleventh year of Yongzheng. The concubines in the harem had become accustomed to the favor of Concubine Lang. After the consort for favor failed, they focused more on educating the tenth prince.
The Tenth Prince is born strong and a precocious child. He is just over one year old and can greet him and say auspicious words.
Who doesn’t like such a child?
The Fourth Master was also very happy. He rewarded the concubine and his son a lot. On the contrary, the seventh prince Hongxu, who had already entered the school, was not outstanding and was compared by this young brother who was greedy.
Concubine Ning was very angry for this.
"I just learned a few nice auspicious words, but I was spoken like a child prodigy by Cipin!" Ning Fei was sour and angry.
Yao Jiaxin is now busy organizing the grandson office for Hong Xiaoxing and Hong Xiaomao. Her two cubs are just five years old and are going to study at the grandson office. The fourth Fuyuan Gate School has been expanded into six, and the two additional temples are for her two cubs.
Hong Xiaoxing was so happy about this, while Hong Xiaosou was indifferent and continued to eat, drink, and slap the mandarin duck.
So Yao Jiaxin didn’t have time to pay attention to Concubine Ning, a menopausal woman. “The tenth prince is smart and well-behaved, that is why Concubine Chu teaches the child!”
Concubine Ning became even more sour: "What does it mean is that I can't raise children anymore?"
Well... Concubine Ning is indeed a little spoiled by the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince is indeed not a naturally intelligent child, and her qualifications can only be considered average.
"Okay!" Yao Jiaxin waved her hand, "The Seventh Prince has already entered the school, and she has the guidance of the master in the study. Although the Tenth Prince is smart, she is young after all. Why should you take it to heart?"
Concubine Ning thought to herself, the imperial concubine was so relieved that the concubine was so confident about the mother and son? The tenth prince was premature and could not be guaranteed to become the opponent of the sixth prince in the future.
