Then the chef watched Yu Yueli holding a small carving knife and started to draw on a watermelon for a long time. Hmm... If I remember correctly, watermelons don't seem to be available in this season of winter, and neither did Yu Yueli.

If you don't care, I'll give Si Beixuan a try first if there's anything in the kitchen. When I cut it with a knife, red watermelon seeds flew out. The chef glanced at him, and then he watched Yu Yueli quickly start carving on the watermelon.

Not long after, the prototype was seen, which was a bright red peony flower. Finally, two decorative leaves were carved out of the melon rind. Then, they were put aside and started tinkering with a few winter dates. Winter dates are the most popular ones sold outside this season.

, every household has to prepare two kilograms. In the meantime, Yu Yueli quickly removed the date core and stuffed it with some of the remaining flesh of the watermelon that had just been carved. There was a layer of ice at the bottom of a glass-like crystal bowl, with emerald green on top.

There was a little red winter jujube in it. Finally, Yu Yueli took another random apple, cut it, cored it, and peeled off the skin. Not all of it was peeled off, but the end was left like a swallowtail. Only half of it was cut, and the apple was cut into three pieces.

pieces, place them on a plate, remove the core and cut the rest into slices, insert a small wooden skewer into one section to fix it, then rotate the fruit slices open and place them on the other side of the plate. Yu Yueli does not plan to do more, these little tricks

I believe that whether it is the emperor's chef or the chef of the prince's palace, they are all skilled in it. After all, at some big banquets, carving and carving side dishes requires the use of knife skills.

As a result, Yu Yueli turned around and looked at the chef's dumbfounded look. Yu Yueli was immediately surprised. What's wrong? I've never seen it before. The chef said that he really hadn't seen it before. He had seen a powerful imperial chef who could carve radish and use it.

Pumpkins are carved into dragons and phoenixes. I have never seen fruits that can be played like this.

Yu Yueli didn't care about the chef's daze, and brought three things to Si Beixuan. Si Beixuan was correcting the memorial. Looking at the things Yu Yueli brought in, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. What the hell is this?

?

"Did you make it?" Si Beixuan looked at the three things Yu Yueli put in front of him. They were all common fruits, but now their appearance seemed to have changed. Si Beixuan reached out and picked it up.

I put a winter date into my mouth, but I couldn't help but frown, it was so cold.

"Of course, they were all carved by me. Doesn't it look like the price has doubled several times?" Yu Yueli raised her eyebrows at Si Beixuan, with an affectionate expression of "please praise me now".

Si Bei

Yu Yueli smacked her lips, picked up the big watermelon and started to eat it with a spoon on the side, "This is not for eating itself. It looks like it can't be eaten. It must be just for looking at it, and it's just for viewing."

It’s for ancestor worship, as long as it looks good.”

"It's all fancy." Si Beixuan shook his head and reached out to take the big watermelon in Yu Yueli's hand, "You are already cold and watermelons are cold. You are not allowed to eat such cold things in the winter. Don't worry about ancestor worship.

Now, just go back and make some snacks." She can't count on anything else, but Yu Yueli's skill in making snacks is excellent. Even he who doesn't like sweets will occasionally eat some. As for the others,

You should behave yourself, otherwise when the time comes, Si Beiming will grab the pigtail and take the opportunity to stir up trouble again.

Yu Yueli also naturally knew that the ancestor worship was ostensibly to worship the late emperor, but in fact it was an opportunity for the princes to compete and compare, especially Si Beiming. If that guy didn't seize the opportunity to do something, it would be a shame.

I'm sorry for his arrogance and domineering for so many years. As long as Si Beixuan makes a slight mistake, he will definitely be arranged by him for various reasons. Therefore, before Yu Yueli made the snacks, he also studied many opinions in the world, especially about the New Year Festival.

Zu. Try not to give Si Beiming any chance.

The materials used to make Yu Yue Li's snacks are all selected according to the custom of worshiping ancestors in this world. The water used for kneading the noodles is Mingqian water. In this world, there is a ritual of washing the ancestors' spiritual tablets with water from pu leaves. Yu Yue Li will

Use cattail leaves on a plate to serve snacks, which is not only delicious

It looks good, and the cattail leaves also have a kind of fragrance. The most important thing is that the overall look has an inexplicable sense of ritual. You don’t need to put too many snacks on it, because more will make them less refined. You can eat them while making them.

Yu Yueli was full before dinner.

I ate vegetarian dishes with Si Beixuan for a few days, and then used aromatherapy for half an hour after taking a bath every day. Si Beixuan was already used to it, but Yu Yueli couldn't adapt to it, especially because the fragrance was so unpleasant and very choking.

Nose, but it's still not poisonous.

Just like that, three days later, she was going to the imperial mausoleum to worship her ancestors. Early in the morning, before dawn, Yu Yueli was taken out from under the quilt by Si Beixuan, and asked Yin Ling to change her clothes and give her another one.

She has a plain bun, her clothes are still the pure black winter clothes that match Si Beixuan, and her hair is all pulled up.

To show his solemnity, he wore a hair ring and two hairpins on his head. There was no need for extravagant decorations and no makeup. The silver bell just wiped Yu Yueli’s face twice and threw it to Si Beixuan. Si Beixuan was the

It doesn't matter if someone carries the carriage in his arms at home, but he won't get used to it after a while.

Yu Yueli spent the whole journey to wake up. She had to go to the palace first, and then the whole family went to the imperial mausoleum together. Yu Yueli hadn't woken up yet, and Si Beixuan didn't let her go down to say hello to the others. He himself

After getting off the car and greeting some elders about their luggage, I heard a "good luck"

Already arrived, everyone got on the carriage and marched towards the imperial mausoleum in a mighty manner. Yu Yueli was actually woken up halfway. The carriage was shaking so hard that she couldn't sleep anymore, especially since her bun was too heavy today.

, so she doesn’t bother to comb her hair on weekdays, why not tie it into a ponytail?

Feeling that the carriage had stopped, Yu Yueli sighed helplessly and cheered up. When Si Beixuan was about to call Yu Yueli to get up, he saw that Yu Yueli had already woken up. He also retracted his hand, got out of the car first, and then

Stretching out his hand towards jade glass,

Yu Yueli adjusted slightly and handed his hand to Si Beixuan. He also got out of the carriage while holding on. Suddenly, his eyes flashed. Yu Yueli couldn't help but be fascinated by the eyes. The sun had risen so high. After getting off the carriage,

Yu Yueli is slightly adaptable

After a while, he looked around. There were not many people coming, or the emperor had not many heirs and brothers. Apart from his biological brother, Prince Shen, and the prince who lived in the southwest fiefdom, Prince Shen only had a daughter.
