After Feng Ling came out of the queen's bedroom, Mama Zhang quietly told Feng Ling: "The slave maid just heard from the good sister that the queen wants the princess's night pearl, or if it doesn't work, I'm afraid it will make things difficult for you in the future." ”

Feng Ling snorted. Hongmei said bluntly: "Crown Princess, I knew that I wouldn't give Princess Shun the Night Pearl, and now I'm burning myself." ”

"Concubine Ben did it on purpose. ”

"Why?" Mama Zhang and Hongmei were puzzled, the queen who offended the lord of the six palaces in the palace would be troubled in everything.

"It's too boring in the palace, looking for something to play. Feng Ling said lightly.

Mama Zhang and Hongmei were speechless, they were helpless about their little master. Mama Zhang thought in her heart, find a time to find the sisters she met in the palace in the past, if the queen makes it difficult, she can also find a few helpers to solve the urgent need.

Mama Zhang sighed in her heart, the crown princess is still too young to know the sinister in the palace. That's it, protect her with more snacks, and the prince will come back.

On the same day, the eunuch of Ruyi Palace went to get the food box, and the reply was that Ruyi Palace would reduce three meals a day to two meals from now on. The eunuch returned empty-handed, and the palace people of Ruyi Palace were hungry for a meal.

The common people have two meals a day, and the palace prepares meals with three meals a day, and the emperor and queen can also eat four meals a day.

Most of the palace people in the Ruyi Palace have suffered at home since they were children, and they have eaten the last meal but not the next meal, so the family ruthlessly sent them into the palace. I just want them to have something to eat, and they won't starve to death. After they entered the palace, they used their lives as collateral, but in exchange for worry-free food and clothing.

There are a few palace people who enter the harem to be palace people because their father and brother made mistakes and did not send them to the teaching workshop. This kind of person who grew up in the family of an official eunuch has never been starved.

Ruyi Palace talked about it and complained for days. A well-informed palace person inquired that it was because his master sent a night pearl to Princess Shun in the morning, thus offending the queen's mother, so it was difficult to reduce three meals a day to two meals.

The palace maid of Ruyi Palace carried the three master and servant of Fengling on their backs and quietly discussed.

Xiaocao: "The crown princess provoked the queen and implicated us in hunger." ”

Xiaohua: "People are young and don't know anything, and they don't know how thick the sky is." ”

Xiaohong: "The crown princess should still have the night pearl in her hand, just give it to the queen." ”

......

When the eunuch Xiao Hezi saw that the palace maids were talking irbelietively behind their masters' backs, he said: "You are hungry and don't want to die? ”

When the palace maids heard the training, they hurriedly scattered around and went to do their own things.

After Xiao Hezi was gone, he walked into the main hall and saluted the princess who was sitting at the table teasing the white cat: "The slave has seen the princess." ”

Feng Ling asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Hezi whispered: "The slave is the person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." His Royal Highness once told the servants that if the crown princess encounters someone in the palace, she will tell you. Servants can do their best to help the crown princess. ”

He took out a white jade plaque from his bosom. Feng Ling recognized that this was the card used by the prince's white guard. The black guard is a black card, and the white guard is a white card, with only the number engraved on it, and this card is engraved with fifteen.

Feng Ling looked at the little eunuch in front of him who was not good-looking, usually did things in a downtone, and had never noticed it. He was actually the person arranged by his husband to protect him.

Thinking of the arrangements that her husband had made for herself, Feng Ling's heart warmed.

Feng Ling said gently: "Bai Fifteen, you still continue to be the same as before." This concubine will look for you again if she has something. ”

Xiao Hezi hesitated for a moment: "The slave obeys." He saluted and withdrew.

Several eunuchs from the Ruyi Palace brought back the evening food. I opened the food box and distributed the evening food, the staple food was mixed with pebbles, the dishes were hard, and the meat was rotten...... Can't be swallowed.

The palace maids and eunuchs of Ruyi Palace are full of resentment, how can they still have physical strength to work like this.

Hongmei opened Feng Ling's food box and saw that there was sand in several dishes, and the meat was still bloody, and there was nothing to eat. Mama Zhang hurriedly closed the lid of the food box and let Hongmei take it outside the main hall to put it.

Mama Zhang said softly to Feng Ling, "The old slave is going to find something to eat for you." ”

Feng Ling said: "You take some silver to Xiao Hezi, and let him go to the imperial dining room to buy some food and distribute it to everyone." ”

Mama Zhang went into the room and took out a few pieces of silver, and went out of the main hall to find Xiao Hezi, who was staring at the food box in his hand in a daze. Seeing Mama Zhang coming over, he put down the food box and made a salute. Mama Zhang handed him the silver: "The crown princess asked you to go to the imperial dining room to buy some food to share with everyone." ”

Xiao Hezi took a few eunuchs to the imperial dining room to buy food. Xiao Hezi said that the imperial kitchen just didn't dare to sell: "The queen didn't say hello and didn't sell it to Ruyi Palace to eat." Those who sell the little ones will be beaten and killed. Alas......"

Kowako was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to beat him. The imperial chefs came up and persuaded: "It's useless for you to beat us, it's better to persuade your crown princess to give the night pearl to Niangniang, or it will be fine." ”

Several eunuchs angrily held up the food boxes in their hands and said, "You see that the food you give us does not even eat pigs and dogs. ”

"That's none of our business, we will do whatever we are told to do. ”

An imperial chef held a kitchen knife and pointed at them: "This is an important place in the harem, don't make trouble here." ”

The two groups of people quarreled and argued in the imperial dining room.

People come and go in the imperial dining room, and there is an endless stream of palace people who come to get food and add money to buy food. In a moment, the quarrel between the imperial chef of the imperial dining room and the palace people of Ruyi Palace spread all over the major palaces of the imperial palace.

After hearing this, the queen said proudly: "The harem is the final say of the palace. ”

Chen Yu said: "Niangniang is mighty. But in my heart I didn't think so.

After the emperor finished the imperial meal, he was gossiping at the concubine in Zhaoyang Palace. Food in the palace, first the emperor, the queen, and then the concubine, according to the rank of food and food.

Xiao Zhao, the maid of the palace, went to the imperial dining room to get a duck soup. Xiao Zhao was waiting for the soup to be fetched, and she saw the whole process of the quarrel. Since the concubine found out that someone had poisoned her, her meals were all handled by Xiao Zhao alone.

Xiao Zhao put down the food box, took out the duck soup and tested the temperature, drank it with a small spoon, took out another bowl, and carefully handed it to the concubine. The concubine stretched out her hand to take it, drank two sips and handed it to Xiao Zhao: "I really wanted to drink it just now, but now I don't want to drink it anymore." Why are you delaying for so long?"

Xiao Zhao saw His Majesty's dissatisfied look, and knelt down in front of the concubine in fright: "Niangniang, the slave didn't delay for a moment on the road." It was a quarrel in the imperial dining room, which delayed the food. ”

The concubine asked curiously, "Why are you arguing? Who is so unruly arguing in the backyard of the palace?" Get up and stand up and talk back."

Xiao Zhao stood up and said to His Majesty and the concubine: "It is the imperial chef of the imperial dining room and the palace people of Ruyi Palace who are quarreling. ”

"Ruyi Palace? It's the palace where Ling'er lives, what's going on, say it." ”

"When the slave heard them quarrel, he said that from today onwards, the Ruyi Palace will reduce three meals a day to two meals, and the lunch will not be taken, and the palace will be hungry. When taking the evening meal, the staple food is mixed with sand and stones, the meat is meaty, and the vegetarian food is not cooked. The crown princess paid money for people to go to the imperial dining room to buy food, but they said that the queen mother did not allow them to sell it to Ruyi Palace. The two teams quarreled. ”

The concubine glanced at His Majesty: "The queen is saving money for Your Majesty, and in the next step, I am afraid that Zhaoyang Palace will also reduce three meals a day to two meals." ”

His Majesty raised his eyebrows: "She dares." ”

His Majesty said: "It's still the rules when Concubine Shu is in charge of the harem." I've never heard anyone say a bad word about her. ”

"My sister is doing her best to share the burden for Your Majesty. ”

"I know. Endure it for a few more days, and in the future, the harem will still be handed over to Concubine Shu to take care of, and the concubine will accompany me. ”

The concubine touched her belly and said, "The concubine still has to accompany the two princes." ”

"Okay, the concubine accompanies my father and son. ”
