Chapter 187: Attentive Eunuch

"Princess, sit down, the slave will make you a cup of tea first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Yes. ā€

Cheng Jingjing nodded, came to the seat and sat down. After pouring the tea by the painting, she asked, "Who is that lady and why is the palace maid so arrogant? But the emperor favors her too much?"

"The princess misunderstood," said the painter: "It's not that the emperor favors her too much, it's just that this concubine has always been arrogant, and she is the sister of the commander of Beijing, so the emperor has always indulged her." ā€

"It turns out to be another Long Yu'er," Cheng Jingjing looked at the tea leaves in the cup and said slowly: "Presumably that palace maid will go to her to complain today, I want to see what crime Concubine Shuniang wants to treat me tomorrow." ā€

"Princess, the slave thinks-"

"On the side of the painting, King An's Mansion has long ceased to exist, so from now on, you should still call me Madame. ā€

Hearing Cheng Jingjing's request, the painter nodded and said, "The slave maid was confused for a while, but fortunately, a lady woke up." The slave maid wanted to say, it is better to inform the emperor of this matter first, otherwise the lady concubine does not know your identity, and it is not good for them to be ruthless first. ā€

"It's okay," Cheng Jingjing thought for a moment and instructed her: "You have someone send a message to Your Majesty and ask him to come back later tomorrow." Otherwise, it's too early, and we won't have a good show. ā€

"The slave knows. ā€

Watching the tea leaves in the pot poured out by the painting, Cheng Jingjing suddenly remembered something, her face became gloomy, and she asked, "Is that person also in the palace?"

There was a pause in the movement of the painting's hand, although the other party did not name names, but she knew who was asking.

"Yes," she replied, "Mrs. Wen is now a virtuous concubine and is living in the Jinle Palace. ā€

"Hehe, Concubine Xian, she also deserves this title?" Cheng Jingjing sneered: "I had long guessed that it would be like this, that person's means are superb, and he has always been good at pretending to be pitiful in front of people, presumably His Majesty was also confused by her." Now that she's got the supreme honor and the untold amount of money, she must no longer have to go around scheming people's hearts like before, right?"

"Madame......" The painting hesitated for a while, and said with an embarrassed face: "Actually, the slave maid lied to you, and since you left, Mrs. Wen has been embarrassed by me and Yuexi in every way. We haven't had a good time in the palace in the past few years, and most of it is thanks to her. It's just that the slave knows that her status is humble, and she can endure many things if she can......"

"What?" Cheng Jingjing was furious for a while, and asked with a glare: "I'm gone, and she still refuses to let you go?"

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Just when she was in full swing, Yue Yao suddenly walked in through the side door. It was the first time she saw her mother in such a terrible appearance, and she was afraid to approach it timidly.

"Yao'er, you're back," Cheng Jingjing hurriedly put the resentment behind her, and a stiff smile pulled up on her face: "My mother is talking to Sister Huapan, come over and let my mother see what you caught." ā€

"Two crickets were caught. ā€

Seeing that her mother had changed back to her previous appearance, Yueyao happily ran over and proudly lifted the small bamboo basket in her hand.

In the evening, a group of eunuchs and palace maids came to Youlan Courtyard.

"May I ask who is Cheng Xiaozhu?" The leading eunuch stood at the door with a smile on his face, and the crow's feet in the corners of his eyes could kill a person.

Cheng Jingjing stood up and said, "I am, what's the matter with my father-in-law?"

"The slave greets the little master," the eunuch respectfully saluted her, then got up and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, the little master is responsible for all the meals these days. Tonight these are thirty-eight dishes, five soups, please tell the minions which ones you like the most when they are finished, so that the minions can go back and tell the imperial dining room to prepare. ā€

"Wow, that's so good!"

didn't wait for Cheng Jingjing to react, only to see Yue Yao run into the palace maid's team with a smoke. She looked at the delicate dishes on the porcelain plate, and shouted with drool: "Mother, I'm hungry, I want to eat!"

"Yueyao, why are you unruly, come back quickly," Cheng Jingjing glared at her reproachfully, and then said to the eunuch: "Thank you father-in-law for your troubles, it's just that there are only four people in our Youlan Courtyard now, and so many dishes will definitely not be able to be eaten, and it will only be a waste to bring them here." You'd better take them all back, and leave three or four. ā€

Who knew that the eunuch knelt on the ground in horror, pinched his voice and shouted: "The slave is not careful, the little one is not satisfied, just open his mouth, the slave must have thought about it when he goes back!"

"Father-in-law, what are you doing...... Cheng Jingjing was so noisy that her temples buzzed, so she had to compromise and said: "You let them put down their things, but if you can't finish these dishes, you will take them back by your father-in-law, and there must be a way to dispose of them in the imperial dining room." ā€

"Okay," the other party immediately stood up with a smile on his face, and shouted to the people behind him: "What are you doing standing here stupidly, hurry up and put things away, don't starve the little master!

Cheng Jingjing looked at him funny, the people in this palace are really alive.

This meal is really hearty enough, Cheng Jingjing is used to eating and wearing simple clothes on weekdays, so she doesn't have any preference for the bunch of delicacies in front of her. It's just that Yue Yao is a natural snacker, and the first time she saw so many delicious foods, she almost ate her little belly to bulge.

"Yao'er, don't eat anymore," Cheng Jingjing snatched the chopsticks from her hand and complained: "You see your stomach is about to burst, and you can't wear this little dress." ā€

"I still want to eat!" Yue Yao shouted dissatisfiedly: "Yao'er still has to eat two more bowls of rice, and these fragrant chicken legs will be eaten!"

"Little master Yueyao, don't worry," the eunuch on the side said with a smile: "If you like to eat these, the slave will let the imperial dining room cook these dishes for you from tomorrow." ā€

"Yao'er, did you hear it? These things will be there tomorrow. I won't eat anymore tonight, and my mother won't sleep with you anymore!"

Hearing her mother threaten her like this, Yueyao had no choice but to put down the dishes obediently, and reluctantly watched the palace maid put away the dishes in order.

After the group of strangers left, Yueyao pulled Cheng Jingjing's sleeve and asked, "Mother, why hasn't Daddy come back so late?

"Because Daddy is a very busy person," Cheng Jingjing picked up a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and said, "Yao'er's obedient Daddy will accompany you to dinner, you are not allowed to run out and make trouble like today, you know?"

"Well," Yueyao nodded, and said seriously: "Yao'er will obediently wait for Daddy to come back, and let Daddy play with Yao'er and eat together." ā€
