In the Qing Palace drama, many small lords have their own good food, such as Zhen Huan's biography, Shen Meizhuang is good at lotus powder osmanthus sugar cake, Zhen Huan is good at jujube mud yam cake, and Huafei likes crab powder crisp.
In the biography of Ruyi, the emperor loves Ruyi's dark fragrant soup and white jade cream square cake.
White jade cream square cake is a small white square cake made of rice and glutinous rice. Pieces of small white cake look soft and delicious, and they are endearing.
The prototype of the white jade cream square cake is what we call the square cake. Square cake is a well-known traditional snack, the filling inside is different, the external shape is different, of which Yangzhou square cake is the most representative, its history is long, the Qing Dynasty Yuan Mu's "Suiyuan Food List" has been recorded.
In the original novel of "Ruyi Zhuan", Yong Xuan has such a sentence: "In the past, the white jade cream square cake in the imperial dining room was not put with green plums." Square cakes can be made from sesame seeds, bean paste, date paste and other raw materials, and are a combination of various raw materials.
White jade cream cake has appeared a total of 3 times, the first time is that Qing Sakura was given the honor of the Lady of Jingren Palace, forbidden to move into the palace, Qing Sakura and Hailan two people changed clothes, sneaked out of the palace into the palace to see the emperor, and also brought their own white jade cream cake.
The second time was that Ruyi untied a certain grounding, and after the joyful and joyful bed, the emperor took care of the subordinate Ah Zhen to prepare some white jade cream square cakes, saying that he would come and use it with Ruyi when he had time.
The third time was when Ruyi was wronged and Had an affair with Master Anji. Jin Yuyan designed Ruyi and forged a love letter, the content of which was Ruyi's confession to Master Anji, and imitated Ruyi's handwriting.
Ruyi's calligrapher learned from Lady Wei's small characters, and no one in the palace concubines had learned it, so there was no way to imitate it. This made the emperor begin to waver, and he had doubts in his heart.
On the Emperor's Halloween, Ruyi imitated the Emperor's handwriting, and Tuo Hailan sent a white jade cream cake to the Emperor, implying that the Emperor himself was framed.
So why didn't Ruyi choose dark fragrant soup, but chose the white jade cream square cake to prove her innocence?
Everyone can write love letters, and everyone can imitate handwriting.
I am as innocent as snow, but the heavens have fallen unjustly.
The taste of this white jade cream square cake reveals the word "wronged" inside and out. White jade symbolizes his innocence.
After the emperor saw the word "Shou" written by Ruyi imitating his handwriting, he couldn't resist returning to the Yangxin Hall and went to find Ruyi with the box containing love letters and bracelets.
Ruyi also took this opportunity to clarify his innocence to the emperor, telling the emperor that as long as he had a heart, the handwriting could be imitated. And the use of Li Yu's secretly changed bracelet said that this string of hands uses carnelian chalcedony, not agate, although the color of the two is believed, but the cultivators will never make a mistake. Therefore, this bracelet can never be a master's thing.
And the concubines in the palace are all from the Manchu Andhan, absolutely will not make a mistake about this, and those who can make a mistake must be a foreign woman who does not understand cultivation. The emperor also turned his spearhead to Jin Yuyan, and Ruyi gradually fell into the snow.
Later, Ruyi was wronged many times, wronged and discordant, fate was too hard to kill his own prince, was wrongfully jealous of Concubine Rong's beauty and grace, tried to seduce her infertility, and was wronged by the godson's unkindness to make the twelve princes timid and cowardly... The most serious one was with the bodyguard Ling Yunche, who slashed Ling Yunche's dignity and did not meet Ruyi for a year and three months, but on a certain day sent Ling Yunche to Ruyi Palace as a eunuch.
This time, Ruyi no longer made white jade cream cakes.
It could be that the heart she wanted to prove her innocence was tired, or it could be that she had realized after repeated betrayals and disappointments that the person was not worth her doing.
Perhaps it was precisely because she knew that everything was no longer worth it, that she chose to hide her illness from the emperor, ruined the painting of the two together, and finally died alone with tea in the afternoon.
