Chapter 44: Three Dynasties Do Not Return to the Door
Things were a little unexpected, but I didn't expect the fourth prince to go to Chen Jiao'er's room last night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I don't know that others don't look at it, but I only see Chen Jiaoer's constant favor.
As for Hong Peony and Ziyun, after meeting Chen Jiao'er, they didn't come to her room again at night.
Early this morning, the yellow-haired maid brought food and brought news, saying that the four princes had summoned Hongshao and Ziyun last night, and instructed their concubines and side concubines to learn the rules from the grandmothers in the palace first, and during this time, the two of them were still in charge of the affairs of the palace. This was exactly what she expected. The fourth prince didn't care about her, but he couldn't point out the things in charge of the family past her to Chen Jiao'er without any reason, and the saint and the general knew that they would have to interfere. In contrast, it is better to still want Hong Peony and Ziyun to continue to be in charge, they are all from the palace, and they have been managing the family affairs in the mansion in an orderly manner, and the saint and the general will not have a complaint. It's a pity that it was unexpected that the fourth prince had already pointed out the two of them so quickly, which could no longer be her bargaining chip to show favor to the two of them through the east wind. In the final analysis, she has the title of concubine, no honor, no real power, and her status in the palace of the four princes is still self-blessed. Hong Peony and Ziyun didn't come, which means that they have no intention of being particularly friendly with her.
She was waiting early in the morning, but yesterday Mrs. Lan said that she would come again today to say goodbye, and it was estimated that Hongshao and Ziyun would come over to follow the rules when they were about the same. I don't think Lan Niangzi hasn't come yet, and Hongshao and Ziyun haven't come either, but Chen Jiaoer came first.
"My sister says good morning to my sister. "Chen Jiao'er is so well-behaved, of course, not just to come and say goodbye to her. Just like yesterday, Chen Jiaoer's two maids came directly with the dinner plate this time, and they wanted to share breakfast with her.
When the dinner plate was served, she saw that today's food was not as nourishing as yesterday's, but much lighter. Just now, she also noticed that Chen Jiao'er's legs and feet are much sharper today. Is it because of the quick adaptability? Or was the fourth prince very gentle yesterday, and he didn't make Chen Jiaoer tired?
She didn't refuse to come, ate happily, and waited to see Chen Jiaoer start performing by herself.
Sure enough, while eating, Chen Jiaoer sighed and said, "Yes, I mentioned yesterday that I had a bad appetite, and I wanted to eat lighter today, so I really ordered the kitchen to make breakfast so light." It's not as flavorful as yesterday's, and it's easy to eat. ”
It just so happened that at this time, the yellow-haired maid also brought her breakfast as usual. Seeing that Chen Jiaoer was also there, the yellow-haired maid did not come in, but only handed the food plate to pears and plums. Pears and plums are also served on the table.
She smiled: "Coincidentally, I also specially instructed the kitchen last night, the weather is getting hotter these days, and my appetite is not good, so I asked them to get me some delicious side dishes." Why don't you share it with you, sister?"
Chen Jiaoer saw that the white sugar mixed persimmons, cold cucumbers, salted mustard shreds, sweet, sour, and salty were all together, and they were really delicious, so she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. However, raw persimmons, raw cucumbers, and mustard greens are all things that need to be avoided during this time. Chen Jiaoer thanked her for her kindness, but she never used chopsticks for these three side dishes.
Eating and eating, she seemed to find out, and asked Chen Jiao'er: "Hey, why is it only me who eats by myself, doesn't my sister like these three side dishes? No, I remember that in the past, my sister still liked this white sugar persimmon in the house." ”
Girls have a sweet tooth. In ancient times, there were not so many tricks, and the rich and noble families could often eat delicate white sugar, which was the envy of ordinary people. Not to mention that Chen Jiao'er likes this white sugar persimmon, which daughter in the General's Mansion doesn't like it? She actually didn't know Chen Jiao'er's taste beforehand, but she guessed that Chen Jiao'er must like this dish. Yes, she had long thought that Chen Jiaoer would come over to share breakfast with her again with "kindness" nine times out of ten. Can't always worry about Chen Jiaoer, she should also prepare, right?
Chen Jiao'er seemed to have slept enough last night, and her brain was fast, so she sighed again at her question, and said, "Alas, I like it, I like it, but my sister eats these dishes, but my sister has not eaten them recently." ”
"What?" she pretended not to understand.
Chen Jiao'er smiled proudly and said: "This is because my lord took pity on my sister's hard work the night before yesterday, so I just wanted to hold my sister to sleep and be satisfied, and today I made an exception to allow my sister to eat a light meal." Tonight I said that I would come over, tomorrow night, tomorrow night, I said, if I don't wait for my sister to help my father give birth to a white and chubby child, I will make my sister tired every night. But the master is also intimate, and specially instructed me to make my sister avoid many things during this time, including persimmons, cucumbers, and mustard greens. I'm afraid I won't be able to remember, so he will personally arrange the kitchen every day, and I will eat whatever he delivers. ”
"That's right. Then don't touch my sister. After speaking, she gulped down the food even more, whether it was her own or Chen Jiao'er's brought.
Not to mention, she slowly tasted some doorways. Although the three side dishes brought by Chen Jiaoer have no taste at first glance with less oil and less salt, they can always bring out some fresh and sweet flavor in the aftertaste. After tasting it carefully, she realized that these side dishes were not all steamed after being poured with broth that had been simmered for several hours. Among them, the taste of dried scallops was just eaten yesterday, and it is still obvious. Thinking that the four princes really have a heart, they not only satisfy Chen Jiao'er, but they seem to eat lightly on the surface, but what should be made up is actually secretly supplemented. Her own side dishes taste enough, and Chen Jiaoer really likes to eat them.
The four princes entered the palace early this morning. Although the four princes received the holy edict during the newlywed period and did not have to go to the court, the four princes were diligent and took the initiative to invite them to continue to go to the court. Looking at the amount of food Chen Jiaoer brought today, it was actually only enough for Chen Jiaoer to eat alone, and a little more was not enough to prevent it. Now that she has been divided into most of it, Chen Jiaoer is afraid that she will be hungry before noon.
Chen Jiao'er listened to her short words, thinking that success had made her unhappy, and she couldn't hide her smugness between her eyebrows, and she didn't notice it at first. waited until she was eating, Chen Jiaoer saw that in front of her, except for the white porridge, the side dishes were gone, and then she suddenly realized that something was wrong. But there is no way to open her mouth to accuse her of being too polite, isn't it? Chen Jiaoer avoided embarrassment and drank two mouthfuls of porridge with an empty mouth, but it was really tasteless, so she stopped the dishes and chopsticks.
She continued to play dumb and asked, "Why didn't my sister eat it?"
The smile on the corner of Chen Jiao'er's mouth was a little stiff, and she replied: "Didn't my sister say that she had a bad appetite earlier, these are enough." ”
Is it enough to eat only half a bowl of porridge? Chen Jiaoer's figure has always been delicate, the lines are plump where there should be meat, and there is no excess fat at all in the thin place. Yesterday's fish porridge Chen Jiaoer also drank two small bowls with side dishes. Now there is enough in the big cup of white porridge to hold another bowl. It's enough to say that it's really enough, but it's just to find a step for yourself. Of course, she knew why. The remaining side dishes on the table were all Chen Jiaoer's untouchable, and she couldn't drink the porridge anymore.
