Chapter 287: Crisis

is also a virtuous queen, although the people in the kitchen are in the palace, they are also afraid of death. But if Empress Xian succeeds, when she leaves, life will be difficult, and everyone on the left and right will die, so she simply sent someone to inform Concubine Chun.

Xiao Shunzi was ruthless, and as soon as he entered the back kitchen, he overturned his father-in-law who was shouting to block, and the rest of the people did not dare to move, so they still took away all the best ingredients. When people entered the courtyard with the ingredients, they heard that Concubine Chun brought people in, and before they entered the door with their front feet, they put this crime on them.

"The virtuous queen is pregnant, and her temper must not be too much, how did this person provoke you? so that you still make a mess so late?" the words spoke slowly, as if the elders usually persuaded her, but it had nothing to do with her at all.

Xiao Jiu was not annoyed, and he didn't get up to greet him at all, but said lightly: "This palace is just for people to take the ingredients, but the rules in this palace are not strict, and the harem is under the control of this palace, so it is time to teach these people who are not long-sighted a lesson!" After speaking, he smiled faintly at her: "It's a pure concubine, I heard that you are not in good health, so late, why do you have to sit here in this palace?"

Seeing that her face was impermanent, neither humble nor arrogant, it was not enough to bow down to her, she was angry, and said with a sinking face: "The head of this harem is not standardized, and there are people who are not sensible. That's a reminder to her. Xiao Jiu also smiled, deliberately stroked his abdomen and said: "The palace is pregnant, and no rules can bind the palace, this is passed down by Emperor Ying himself, besides, he has been tired all the way, and no one has prepared a meal, and he has not had time to write the letter that Emperor Ying said he would send every day..."

Concubine Chun frowned: "Letter?" Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "Yes, otherwise you said he sent me so many guards for what to do?"

Concubine Chun's face flashed with a trace of sadness, and she deliberately stroked her sleeves and said: "Since you have arrived at the palace, you are here to raise the fetus, and it is not appropriate to prepare your own meals, I will talk to the back kitchen today, your food here will definitely satisfy you! The gods are not early, you should rest early!"

Seeing her coming with great fanfare and dying back, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but be in a good mood, Lan Zhu had neat hands and feet, she had already cooked a bowl of somen noodles, and when she brought it to the lobby, she felt wronged and said: "This is too rushed, I'm afraid of starving the child in your belly, the fastest is somen noodles, master, you will eat it first!"

Xiao Jiu took the noodle soup and smiled: "You are already neat enough, it's so late, everyone is hungry, you don't have to wait here, let's all go eat." Runxi didn't leave, she was used to these rules in her early years, and it was not easy to correct them at the moment, so she had to follow her.

After eating the noodles, she stepped forward to put away the bowl, and found that Xiao Jiu's face was not as happy as Fang Cai, and while rinsing her mouth, she asked, "What's the matter?" I saw you proud just now, but when you ate this noodles, you were embarrassed?"

Xiao Jiu covered his mouth and nose with a square handkerchief, took a sip of the clay cup with white flowers on a blue background, and spit it into the copper basin, and then said angrily: "I came this time to coax that woman, and now Emperor Ying is lonely, if his mother goes back, it is the best of both worlds, but who would have thought that this meeting would be so handsome? I should have endured it, but I forgot it when I was hungry!"

Runxi smiled helplessly: "What's the matter, she thinks all day long that she can go back to the palace to be a veritable queen mother, you will tell her about it tomorrow with the water, she won't find fault with you when she is happy, it's not the best of both worlds!"

"That's right, I'm going to invite her back anyway, it's better to tell her first, and I'll be safe by myself!" Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up and he was happy again. Runxi shook her head helplessly, now she is the mother of two children, and she often talks like a child.

Thinking about it like this, I slept peacefully all night, and when I woke up in the morning, I listened to Lan Zhu say that the people in the back kitchen were here, bringing fresh breakfast, and it seemed that there were a lot of dishes. Xiao Jiu listened directly, and didn't make a sound, waited until he finished washing, and walked to the outer room to take a look, what chicken soup wontons, eight treasure cakes, taro balls, everything.

The pure concubine is in the palace, Chu Yinghan is still very filial, and she has the ingredients that are rarely seen in the palace. Lan Zhu was happy to see her, and tried the silver needle one by one, after all, she had been careless a few times, and this time she was careful.

After verifying that there was nothing to do, she picked out a camellia wonton and ate it, and the people in the back kitchen did not leave, only waiting in the courtyard, Xiao Jiu looked strange, put down the bowl and said, "Why don't they leave?" Could it be that the palace still has to wait to clean up the dishes?"

Lan Zhu hurriedly replied: "Back to Niangniang, it was they who asked the slave maid if they wanted to send the ingredients, and the slave maid saw that you were eating, so they asked them to wait." "That's the case, let them give some every day, the portion doesn't have to be big!" Xiao Jiu said seriously when he heard this.

Runxi smiled faintly: "Now you have learned to bring your own hand?" Xiao Jiu laughed and said happily: "That is, I have been in this palace for a long time, if I don't even have this plan, but I'm sorry for you!" Runxi also ignored her, and smiled deliberately: "The virtuous queen is so smart, she will naturally know how to speak when she goes to see the Empress Dowager Chun!"

Xiao Jiu frowned, and became troubled again, and finally ordered a white jade Guanyin, which was simple and generous, and it was also precious. The group walked to the gate of the pure concubine palace, and the father-in-law outside seemed to have been prepared, and stepped forward to block the road and said: "The virtuous queen atoned for his sins, the concubine Niangniang began to copy the Buddhist scriptures yesterday, and I want you to bring it to Emperor Ying when you leave, it is inconvenient to meet guests these days, please go back!"

"Transcribe Buddhist scriptures, how long will it take to recruit this?" Xiao Jiu couldn't help asking.

The father-in-law's eyes rolled, and he replied with a humble smile: "This is slow to say, but the concubine said that she would send Emperor Ying, so she will naturally rush before Empress Xian returns to the palace!"

Xiao Jiu frowned, turned around slowly, and waited until the father-in-law walked into the palace gate, then he reacted, and couldn't help sneering. Runxi looked out of the door and asked seriously, "What is this singing? Could it be that you can't go back and deal with Emperor Ying?"

"Hmph, what's the difference, it's just that I'm afraid that something will happen to me between the palaces, and I don't want to be related. Anyway, Ben doesn't want to coax her, let's go to where Concubine Jing is!"

Runxi thought slightly, and suddenly walked up to her and said, "Since Concubine Chun doesn't want to cause trouble, let's not disturb Concubine Jing, it's important to go back and raise the baby with peace of mind!" Xiao Jiu saw that she looked nervous and knew that something was wrong, so he answered, took her hand and walked side by side.

When he walked into the garden, he saw that there was no one around, so he asked in a low voice: "Why are you like this?" Runxi was very unstable, and asked directly: "Don't you think it's strange? You are just the right age, and your body is not sick, normal people see such a pregnant woman, at most, they will only guess that they will give birth to a boy or a girl, who will not come is afraid.... Still hiding from yourself?"

Xiao Jiu was stunned after hearing this, Runxi's meaning must be that the pure concubine has to do tricks, if she goes to find Concubine Jing, I am afraid that it will be Concubine Jing who will be blackened, but this old woman is inevitably too vicious. When he thought about it, he panicked, gritted his teeth and said, "Inform Xiaoshunzi that they should be careful these days!"
