Chapter 236: Swan Meat
A few people got up, and the second lady was still crying, waiting for Ling Qingcheng's explanation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The eldest lady persuaded her: "Her Royal Highness the princess said that it was a misunderstanding, don't be sad first." β
"Your Royal Highness Princess, those swans are carefully fed by Erniang every day, and the Yao family has also liked them very much for so many years, so today I found that a swan died, naturally I will be a little sad, and I hope the princess will forgive me."
Yao Jiao'er knelt down and pleaded guilty.
Ling Qingcheng looked at her in surprise: "Miss Yao's words, why can't this palace understand?" β
Everyone looked at each other, not quite understanding the current situation.
Yao Jiao'er continued to explain: "What the courtier means is that Erniang likes these swans very much, and the people in the house also like them, so they have feelings. β
"However, when I saw the swans at that time, the palace asked you if you could eat them, and you told the palace that you could, and said that whatever the palace needs, you can open your mouth, and the palace saw these swans for the first time, if you didn't say you could eat them, why did the palace go to eat?"
The eldest lady looked at Yao Jiao'er in disbelief, and the second lady looked even more incredulous.
"Jiao'er, you were there too?" The eldest lady asked.
Yao Jiao'er hurriedly explained: "My daughter was present, but my daughter didn't let Her Royal Highness the princess go down to eat swans." β
"The eldest lady, the second lady, and the young lady told Her Royal Highness the princess at that time that these swans were raised by the second lady, and the fourth young master liked them very much, and did not say that he wanted to eat swans." The maids also knelt down to explain.
"Miss Yao's words are not understood by this palace, if you didn't say it, this palace invited you to eat, why would you still eat all the swan stewed soup and dishes?"
Yao Jiao'er's eyes were like copper bells, and her mouth grew in surprise, she was eating swan meat just now!
The second lady stepped forward and glared at Yao Jiao'er: "You actually ate swan meat!" β
Ling Qingcheng pointed to the table: "The things have not been confiscated, it is better to let the cooks identify whether they are made of swan meat." β
There were indeed a few cooks among the subordinates who followed, who were originally called by the second lady as witnesses, after all, they felt familiar, and finally remembered that it was a swan raised by the palace, so they went to talk to the second lady.
The cooks stepped forward and took a look: "Mrs. Hui, that soup and crispy meat are made of swan meat." β
There were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table, one was Ling Qingcheng's and the other was Yao Jiao'er's, and Yao Jiao'er's soup bowl obviously drank some.
"Didn't Miss Yao just tell the palace that the crispy meat in Yaofu is the best, and even the prince likes it very much? This palace doesn't like crispy meat, but Miss Yao has eaten several pieces, this is not a scoundrel of this palace. β
The second lady stepped forward and slapped Yao Jiao'er.
The eldest lady hurriedly stopped her: "Sister, don't be excited, Jiao'er is young and ignorant." β
"Young? It's almost twenty years old, are you still called young? Just because you have been raised by your sister-in-law since you were a child, do you regard yourself as a sister-in-law? I really didn't expect that you would use the identity of the princess to attack my swan, the princess came to Yao's house for the first time, how could she suddenly eat a swan? Surely you said something! β
"Erniang is angry, Jiao'er really didn't say it!" Yaojiao'er cried pear blossoms with rain, and her face was full of grievances.
Ling Qingcheng was displeased: "You say that, is this palace wishing for you?" Have you drunk the soup? Have you eaten the meat? Whole meal, but this palace forced you? β
The eldest lady stepped forward and knelt down to explain: "The princess is angry, it is the courtiers who failed to teach her daughter well, please punish the princess." β
The eldest lady gave birth to two sons, and originally had a daughter, but she died young, so she regarded Yao Jiao'er, who had always been raised by her side, as her own, and Yao Zhen also treated her as her own sister.
Ling Qingcheng did not let go: "If Miss Yao could have said it clearly, she would definitely not have appeared in these situations at this time, but now this palace has been misunderstood." β
The second lady also knelt on the ground: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it was the courtiers who didn't understand clearly and misunderstood Your Highness, Your Highness, please punish." β
"Hey, this matter is not clear in this palace, lest I finally say that I shirk my responsibility, Miss Yao is also the eldest lady of the Yao family, and she insists that she is wronged, if this palace is really punished, I am afraid that I will be truthful."
The eldest lady assured: "The responsibility for this matter lies with Jiao'er, the courtiers will Bingming the old lady and the master, the second room and the fourth young master, and the courtiers will also explain clearly, and the courtiers are willing to guarantee with their lives that the princess will not be misunderstood." β
"You are the head of the Yao family, this matter will be handed over to you to deal with, this palace has lived in the palace since childhood, and does not understand the rules of your family, now living in, there will naturally be all kinds of inconveniences and misunderstandings, this palace is not an unreasonable person, if you have something to say, there will be less of these troubles."
Ling Qingcheng's meaning is very clear, she has the final say in the palace, there is nothing that cannot be done, she is the princess of Shengguo, the emperor's own sister, and now that she has come to the Yao family, it is already polite, and she even wants to frame her.
Ling Qingcheng knew that Yao Jiao'er liked to pretend to be innocent the most, and the good image she had always maintained would also make people believe that she was innocent.
This is exactly, smart is mistaken by smart, she wants to be a naΓ―ve woman, then she is naΓ―ve once, so naΓ―ve that she ate the second lady's swan.
"Remember the Princess's teachings."
The crowd bowed and withdrew from the courtyard.
After the small courtyard quieted down, Ling Qingcheng asked the maid to put away the table, and Yisu gnawed on two goose legs and floated aside.
"How does it taste?"
Tsubasa nodded: "Not bad." β
"This swan is well cared for, and it is naturally delicious."
At that time, after Yaojiaoer left, she instructed Yisu to pick a swan and take it to the kitchen to cook it.
The people in the kitchen didn't think much about it, because the Yao family's swans were more shiny than ordinary swans in addition to being stronger than ordinary swans, but the dead swans couldn't see the difference between the other big white geese, and the kitchen was directly cooked.
It wasn't until later, when the second lady went to feed the swans at noon, that she found that there was one missing, and after the kitchen recalled the goose that was killed, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was raised by the second lady, until the plucked feathers were compared with other white geese, and the Yao family did not buy white geese today, it was determined that Ling Qingcheng's several dishes used the swan meat of the Yao family.
Ling Qingcheng didn't want to do it so quickly, but yesterday she pretended to be sick, and after Cang Min finished her diagnosis and treatment, she found that the tonic herbs used in the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Zheng had been replaced by Yao Jiao'er with ordinary medicinal herbs.
Although she won't get sick after eating it, and she doesn't need nourishment, Yao Jiao'er dares to touch her medicinal herbs, which shows that this is her habit, she has been bold to this point, and some of the Yao family's subordinates will also cover for her, so she wants to do it today.
Yao Jiao'er was spoiled by Yao Chongyang, and the Yao family gave her a dream of being a princess, so she really thought she was a phoenix, so she couldn't help but regard Ling Qingcheng as an opponent.
