Chapter 100 Delivering Food and Talking about Joy on the Stove (First Update)
Sanchun obeyed the order, and waited until the door was closed, then he took a few steps forward and bowed to Su Guifei.
"Charge up and avoid it first, let's talk about it, what have you found out?"
Concubine Su raised her hand and motioned for him to stand up.
"Xie Niangniang. ”
Sanchun got up and thanked him, then approached him, glanced around, and whispered:
"Niangniang, the slave asked the maid on duty over there yesterday, and she said that the people Your Majesty saw yesterday afternoon were the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the Squire of the Criminal Department, and the people from the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites said that several princesses of the Qiqiao Festival were discussing the matter of holding a Qixi banquet; the Ministry of Criminal Affairs said that some cases in the past few days were just routine to make a report; as for the Ministry of War, it was still the military intelligence ...... in the south."
"Nothing else?" I haven't seen anyone else, or said anything else?"
Su Guifei turned over her palm, looked at the back of her hand again, pinched the slender fingers and bone joints of her right hand with her left hand, tilted her head and said: "These things happen every once in a while, it's not a big deal, what is the news that this palace wants, I think you should know very well." ”
"Don't worry, the slave will tell you about these things first, if there is anything unusual, I am afraid that the Marquis of Anguo Mansion sent a box of snacks to the palace, saying that Princess Pingning personally did it. ”
"Princess Pingning?"
Su Guifei stopped what she was doing, raised her head to look at Sanchun, and asked, "She is so lazy and alone, what kind of snacks will she make?"
Su Guifei's words were extremely polite, but they were also the truth.
Who is Princess Pingning?
That's a notoriously noble and coquettish person, the size is that ten fingers don't touch the spring water to grow up, where will you cook and what to do? This reason is really unreliable.
But with the identity of Concubine Su Guifei, it's nothing to say it, but if it were him Sanchun, I'm afraid that he wouldn't dare.
Therefore, Sanchun did not pick up the stubble, but said carefully:
"Princess Pingning said that she was grateful to Her Majesty for something, and she would never forget her sister, so now that she finally cooked something herself, it was natural to send it to Her Majesty first...... And when the old slave sent someone to investigate, he found that these days, Princess Pingning was really buried in the kitchen in the Hou Mansion, and she had been tinkering with something like osmanthus cake......"
"You mean, she's really here this time?"
Su Guifei was surprised, and after thinking about it for a while, she couldn't figure out for a while whether it was a pretense to send snacks yesterday, or if it was really her sister who missed her brother.
She pondered for a moment and asked Sanchun:
"Have you opened the food box and seen it, is it really just a small snack inside?"
seemed to have known that Su Guifei would have such a question, and almost as soon as the words came out, Sanchun took over and said:
"I've passed through several passes, and I've checked them all one by one. The things given to His Majesty, even if they were sent by Princess Pingning, had to be checked according to the rules - from the first encounter at Xihua Gate, to the second encounter at the Inner Palace Gate, and the first encounter with the Imperial Doctor, a total of three checks, all of which were said to be without any problems, and they really only put a small plate of osmanthus cake and mung bean cake. ”
"Then that's weird. ”
Concubine Su Guifei squinted, "Your Majesty has already promised the palace not to let the people from the Three Princes' side go to Xishan, how can you change your mind in a good way?
"If there is a problem with the pastry, but you haven't found anything, it seems that there is nothing entrained, but if there is no problem, how can it be so coincidental, the day after Princess Pingning finished sending things, His Majesty let Zhao Yi's kid come to Hulai, and even let Luan Ge's little girl go?
"Isn't it that she won His Majesty's favor first, and then when her son made trouble in the Jinluan Palace on the second day, she could get His Majesty's mercy in exchange for ......"
Thinking of this, a trace of coldness flashed in Su Guifei's eyes.
What a princess of Pingning, she has been confused all her life, and now at this time, has she started to play with caution?
It's just that this kind of method is still too tender......
Since you want to play like this, then Hongu will play with you.
A smile gradually appeared on Concubine Su's face, obviously it was a flower and a moon, but Sanchun suddenly felt a coldness.
It's like being in the middle of winter on a hot summer day, and suddenly walking into the middle of winter, falling into a deep cold ice cave.
Without waiting for him to shudder, he heard Su Guifei's voice coming:
"Mama Mei has been away for so long, can the time for her return be set?"
When Sanchun heard this, he slapped his head suddenly:
"Look at the memory of the slave! Just tell you, I almost forgot! Mama Mei has now returned to the Jin Kingdom, according to yesterday's itinerary information, I am afraid that I have just left Hezhou, if I follow this speed, I will be able to return to the palace on the morning of the sixth day after tomorrow, that is, the sixth day of the new year. ”
"The morning after tomorrow...... It's not too late. ”
Concubine Su Guifei groaned slightly, as if talking to herself: "I just don't know, what news will she bring back when she comes back from Qi Country this time...... After all, so long has passed, and I'm afraid that those who know about it will have long since dispersed......"
……
Outside the kitchen of An Guohou's Mansion, more than a dozen people stood in the courtyard and watched, but they couldn't see what was going on in the kitchen.
Mama Song was also anxious in her heart, but she still stood straight, guarding the door like a living female door god.
"Say, how long will it take for the lady to come out today?" someone asked in a whisper.
"I estimate that it will take an hour, you think about it, yesterday a lady stayed in it for three hours, and the whole house was missed by an hour, and today it must be the same. ”
"Doesn't this mean that there is progress? I sent it to His Majesty to taste yesterday, and I will definitely be much more proficient today, and it will definitely save time." ”
"Who knows for sure? Anyway, you'll just have to wait and see......
“……”
Mama Song also muttered a lot in her heart, but let her really go in and take a look, but she didn't dare, so she had to wait carefully outside with the kitchen group, just begging this time, Mrs. would not burn the kitchen again.
Everyone outside the house was worried, but the two inside the house were happy and had a good time.
"Look, this osmanthus powder has a good ratio of flour, right? It smells just right, and the color of the mung bean comes out. ”
Mixing the flour in her hand, Princess Pingning looked up at An Guohou, who was cute and cute on the side, and the powder on her face was strange and funny.
"Madame is so clever. ”
An Guohou, who was helping out, smiled with a sinister smile on his face, stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, and then looked up and pointed to the flour on his wife's face, and said:
"Don't worry, I'll help you wipe off the flour and carefully turn into a little flower cat. ”
Princess Pingning obediently lowered her head and let her husband wipe her face for herself, but she never thought that someone wiped the soot on her face a few times, and she looked more like a little cat.
An Guohou couldn't help laughing, closed the small door at the stove, let the fire on the stove smoldering inside, and then turned around, looked at Ping Ning and said:
"Ma'am, did you say you did this?" (To be continued.) )
