Chapter 85: Seeing Through (1)
"Jinxiu, what's wrong?" Jinxiu never delayed doing things, so Chi Xiaoman looked quite worried when he asked.
"I was embarrassed by the people in the imperial dining room...... "Jinxiu said angrily: "Niangniang, for the New Year, they only give a few taels of meat and a handful of vegetables, it's just annoying!"
When Chi Xiaoman heard this, he already understood what the reason was.
In the past, she was only one concubine in the harem, and no matter how poor she was, she was the only mother, and those slaves did not dare to deceive her, but after today, those dog slaves must think that the harem should add a new master, she is a concubine who has been grounded by the emperor, and a concubine who is not even allowed to participate in the New Year's sacrifice to the ancestors and the New Year's banquet, what is the difference between being beaten down in the cold palace?
In the past, the emperor resolutely refused to accept concubines, but in today's situation, I am afraid that nine times out of ten it is to choose a few women from the minister's daughters to enter the palace.
Even so, the favorite concubine will be someone else in the future, and these minions will naturally not have the respect they used to have for her.
Seeing that Jinxiu's pretty face was angry, Xiao Man smiled and comforted: "Why be angry about that kind of person, I'll get these things to eat with you first." ”
Xiaoman knew that Yu Chimu had the intention of passing on the throne to King Jing and taking her out of the palace, so she would definitely not accept any more concubines, so she would definitely let Yu Chimu get it back for her for what those minions did.
"How can you let the mother work hard, let the slave and maid get it today. She knew that Niangniang was really only interested in making pastries such as biscuits, and although some dishes could be cooked, most of the time she still didn't like them.
Chi Xiaoman thought about it, and saw that there was really nothing in the food basket, and the craftsmanship of Jinxiu was not bad, and these ingredients could be processed in three or two clicks, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll go read the book for a while, and you can take it directly to the room when you get it." ”
"Okay, sis. After Jinxiu finished speaking, she carried the food basket to the small kitchen.
Not long after, Jinxiu came to Xiaoman's room with a food box, Xiaoman used to be a graduate student of the Department of History, when he came to this time and space, he had already read the history books of this time and space, she was not interested in the scriptures, some biographies, travelogues but read a lot, although there were many books in the Jing Palace, but I couldn't find books about pregnancy and parenting, so in the past few months of pregnancy, in addition to biographical travelogues, she read the most, is the medical book.
In the past, of course, she couldn't understand it, but after being rescued by the poison doctor, she was accepted as a disciple by the head of the sect, and she learned a lot.
She put down the half-read medicine book and sat down at the table, where the meal had already been prepared.
The dish is very simple, a plate of simple fried vegetables, a plate of braised pork, and the eggs are originally available in the small kitchen, and they were not eaten yesterday, so there is also a plate of scrambled eggs.
Although the ingredients are simple and there are not many patterns, the quality of the food in the palace must be guaranteed, the vegetables look verdant and bright, and the meat looks good.
"Let's sit down and eat. Chi Xiaoman said as he lifted a piece of meat. In her Fengyi Palace, except for when she and Yu Chimu arrived to eat, she let Jinxiu eat with her at the same table.
Just as she was about to put the meat in her mouth, she suddenly moved her willow eyebrows slightly, put the meat into the bowl, and sandwiched some green vegetables, but a pair of wonderful eyes fell on Jinxiu.
I saw Jinxiu sit down according to his words, add rice to himself, take two bites of the spoon, and put the vegetables in his mouth.
Chi Xiaoman put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at her quietly.
"Why doesn't Niangniang eat?" Jinxiu also seemed to find that Concubine Man had been looking at her, raised her head, and looked back with a puzzled expression.
"Who are you?" Chi Xiaoman's expression was calm, but his eyes showed a fierce color, and his delicate face showed a majesty that could not be ignored. (To be continued......)
