Chapter 114: The Imperial Dining Room
Yang Yueshu and Qing Shao didn't stay in Qianxi Palace for too long, and they didn't eat dinner there before returning to Yuyang Palace.
"Mother Yue, Sister Qingshao!"
As soon as I entered the courtyard of Yuyang Palace, I saw Yi'an walking there, with a sweet smile on his face, accompanied by his grandmother and palace maid.
Although Yi An's physical condition has not improved much since he came to Yuyang Palace, his mood is indeed really much better, and Yi An will no longer be as uneasy here as he was by his mother's side before, especially after Qing Shao told him that he would let him meet his mother concubine on Chinese New Year's Eve, he felt that Yuyang Palace was also very good, and he felt that his father and emperor also valued him more than before.
This situation really makes Yi'an happy from the bottom of his heart.
"An'er." Yang Yueshu shouted and beckoned.
Yi'an saluted in a formal manner, and then walked up to Yang Yueshu.
Yang Yueshu took Yi'an's hand and walked to the inner hall: "Are you hungry?" ”
Yi'an shook his head, because Sister Qingshao would prepare sweet snacks for him every day, so he wouldn't be particularly hungry yet.
Yang Yueshu smiled, and then ordered the imperial dining room to pass the meal.
Although the concubine is already qualified to have her own small kitchen, the small kitchen of Yuyang Palace is generally only used by Qingshao to make some snacks and boil medicine for the three princes, and the meals in Yuyang Palace are still sent from the imperial dining room. On the one hand, there are not many people in Yuyang Palace, and it is not worth spending so much effort, on the other hand, Yang Yueshu and Qing Shao have survived so many difficult days in Hanyue Palace, so they don't like any appetite, the meals in the imperial dining room are enough, not to mention, now Yang Yueshu is favored, even the people in the imperial dining room are also respectful, the meals are spread quickly, and it is easy to want something else, so the small kitchen is just an addition.
"I'm looking at the craftsmanship of the Imperial Dining Room is getting better and better." Yang Yueshu took a bite of fried shredded chicken and ate it, the entrance was delicate and not oily, with a slight spicy taste, which made people warmer, which was really good.
Mama Zheng and Hongzhu beside Yi An are waiting carefully, and Yi An's appetite is much better now than when he first came.
Because there are more people in the palace, Qing Shao did not eat with Yang Yueshu as before, otherwise it would be too strange for people to see it.
After finishing the meal, he poured tea for Yang Yueshu and Yi'an.
"Master, the slave maid will go to the imperial dining room to get bird's nest." Qing Shao said.
Yang Yueshu nodded, and then looked at Yi'an: "Do you want to eat some snacks?" ”
Yi'an touched his belly, and then pursed his lips, although his stomach was bulging, but the dim sum still made him like it very much.
Yang Yueshu smiled and pulled Yi'an's hand, and then asked Qingshao to take some candied fruit or something by the way, and Yi'an still had to drink a decoction for a while, and the candied fruit had to be prepared.
Qing Shao received the order and went to the imperial dining room.
To say that although Yuyang Palace is smaller, the location is not too good, but the best place should be relatively close to the location of the imperial dining room, so that the temperature of the food is better, otherwise if the palace is farther away, the food will already be cold, not to mention that in winter like this, no one wants to eat a meal with ice ballast.
There are only two hours of rest for the twelve hours a day, and the rest of the time is busy all the time, and the meals and snacks of each palace, the bird's nest porridge for health care, etc., must be prepared by the imperial dining room, so everyone here is very busy and irritable.
But tantrums also depend on the object, especially the unfavored concubines, if you want something unless you stuff silver, it is very difficult.
For example, Xin Concubine, although she is pregnant with the imperial heir, but the harem people are the best at thinking about the emperor's thoughts, and everyone knows that Xin Concubine is not favored, so it is very difficult when she sends the palace maid to eat, especially beyond her concubine position.
Now Concubine Xin's palace maid Qiuyu quarreled with the people in the imperial dining room because she wanted blood bird's nest.
"Our master is pregnant with the emperor's heir, can't he even eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge!" Qiu Yu asked angrily.
But the people in the imperial dining room are not afraid of this, and the fat grandmother who is in charge of boiling bird's nest is already impatient: "I have already said that the concubine's share is white bird's nest, and there is no blood bird's nest, this is all for other concubines, if it is given to you, I can't explain it to other concubines." ”
Although this is the case, Qiu Yu is still angry, her master is pregnant and doesn't even have a bowl of blood swallows, which is too uncomfortable.
But the fat mama didn't have time to answer her, if she really wanted to eat it, then she should bring the silver, and she didn't give anything, so why pick and choose. Besides, what's so great about pregnancy, who knows if you can give birth......
At this time, Qing Shao also entered the imperial dining room, and the people in the imperial dining room saw that Qing Shao's attitude was different, although Concubine Yue was not pregnant, and it is said that it also caused the dissatisfaction of the Empress Dowager Song, but everyone knows that Concubine Yue can be the most favored by the emperor in the harem, and this alone has already made people have to stay respectfully.
So as soon as Qing Shao came in, some of them smiled, some handed her tea, and some asked her to rest and eat snacks first, all of them actively stammered.
Qing Shaoying's attitude was a little cold, but the people in the imperial dining room didn't mind, the big palace maid next to such a favored concubine must have some temper, so they still respected it with kind words.
Qing Shao walked to the place where the bird's nest was placed: "Mama, is the bird's nest in Yuyang Palace good?" ”
The fat mama who was disdainful of Qiu Yu just now had a completely different attitude towards Qing Shao, and a flattering smile squeezed out of her fat face: "Okay, okay, I also trouble Miss Qingshao to run in person, and I am talking about sending it to Concubine Yue!" ”
"Then you don't need to, you're busy, and I don't have anything to do if I go more." Qing Shao showed a faint smile, like a clear lotus in the hot imperial dining room, which made people feel refreshed, and even the little father-in-law next to him was stunned.
Then Qingshao asked the grandmother if she had any candied snacks or anything like that, and the grandmother smiled and responded: "Of course, of course, this is for Miss Qingshao!" ”
After that, the grandmother put the blood swallow, two plates of delicate snacks and a plate of candied fruit into the food box brought by Qing Shao.
"This is just made and hot, let Concubine Yue taste whether it suits your appetite, if you like it, you will send it to Yuyang Palace tomorrow!" The fat mama smiled flatteringly.
Qing Shao thanked him and then stuffed the fat grandmother with a purse of some weight, and then left the imperial dining room, and nodded with a smile when he passed by Qiu Yu.
The fat lady tucked her purse into her sleeve and smiled wrinkledly.
Qiu Yu looked at Qing Shao's back and couldn't help but feel a wave of anger. (To be continued.) )
