Guiyuan, also known as longan, is a common fruit. Its production areas are mainly distributed in southern China and Southeast Asia, among which Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places of Gui yuan are the most famous.
Gui yuan can be divided into three types: red heart, black heart, and white heart. Among them, the red heart cinnamon balls have delicious meat and moderate sweetness, and are known as the "king of laurel balls" and are deeply loved by people.
Longyan is also called Gui Yuan, and there is a beautiful legend in the middle, there was a little girl named Zhu Guiyuan in the Song Dynasty, who successfully entered the palace at the age of fifteen and became a palace maid of Song Huizong. Because of her sharp hands and feet, her calm demeanor was quickly favored by the queen and became a personal maid who did not leave the queen's left and right.
One day the queen suddenly felt unwell for no reason, and at first it was not right, but she did not expect that Xiao Xiao became a serious illness, lying on the bed and not entering, and woke up from time to time.
Seeing that his beloved wife was about to be unable to hold on, Song Huizong continued to recruit imperial doctors into the palace to diagnose and treat the empress. As soon as the imperial doctor entered the palace gate, the queen suddenly woke up, but she was still delirious and could only vaguely say two words: "Dragon... eye".
The imperial doctor was far away, did not hear clearly, mistakenly thought that the queen said "dragon trap", and was shocked in his heart. The dragon is the embodiment of the royal family, trapping means sinking, can it be said that the queen means that she is fierce and lucky?
"Qing family, what did the queen just say, what does it mean?" Song Huizong asked eagerly.
The imperial doctor was sweating profusely, not knowing how to answer, so he could only answer perfunctorily: "Emperor, the patient's muttering can't count, as long as the medicine is taken on time, there should be no big problem." ”
The imperial doctor prescribed some supplements at random to cope with the errand. In fact, at that time, the queen had already stopped taking medicine, as long as she had a little common sense, she knew that people were about to die. Song Huizong himself also felt that his wife's time was running out, but he had no choice but to resign himself to fate.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was solemn, and everyone did not dare to make a sound, for fear of the emperor's punishment, only Zhu Guiyuan sneaked out. Her ears were clear, and she had just heard the queen say the word "dragon's eye".
It was August, the south paid tribute to a large number of longan to the capital, Zhu Guiyuan served the queen for a long time, knowing her various life details, longan as a southern fruit, has always been the queen's favorite, this time to say "longan", must be gluttonous.
Zhu Guiyuan took a plate of dragon eyes from the inner hide and ran back to the dormitory. At that time, Song Huizong was still accompanying the queen's bedside, and suddenly saw a palace maid break in, and at this time, Song Huizong was angry in his heart, and was about to have a seizure, and when he saw Zhu Guiyuan's face, his temper fell by half.
Although Zhu Guiyuan often accompanies the empress, but generally when Song Huizong and the empress have private parts, the palace maid is not on the side, and the emperor has never seen Zhu Guiyuan, this time seeing such a beautiful palace maid for the first time, holding back his anger, changing the ordinary tone and saying: "I miss you young and ignorant, forgive you, and do not retreat." ”
Zhu Guiyuan gave first aid to the main mother, and could only argue with reason: "Niangniang wants to eat longan day and night, and now that the longan has arrived, why doesn't the emperor let Niangniang eat a little!" ”
At this moment, the queen opened her eyes slightly, stretched out her jade finger, pointed to Zhu Guiyuan's tray, and signaled that she wanted to eat. Zhu Guiyuan quickly peeled two and carefully sent them to the queen's mouth.
The queen ate the dragon's eye, her spirit recovered, her breathing became stronger, and Song Huizong was happy, and immediately asked the inner supervisor to send the dragon's eye to the dormitory, and Zhu Guiyuan served the queen to eat a lot.
After three days, the queen gradually recovered, and after five days she was already like a normal person. Song Huizong was very happy, but after thinking about it, since the ancient emperor was regarded as a real dragon, the empress ate the dragon's eye every day, could it be that she ate her own eyes? There is a taboo in this, and I am afraid that there is something wrong. However, the queen recovered from eating longan, and if she is not allowed to continue eating, I am afraid that she will be bedridden again.
Thinking about it, Song Huizong decided to change the name of Longyan, but what name did he change? Looking at Zhu Guiyuan, who was helping the queen peel the dragon's eyelids, Song Huizong was in his heart, and simply called Gui Yuan. Subsequently, an order was issued in the palace to inform the world that the dragon's eye would be renamed Gui Yuan in the future.
