Chapter 31: Dodge, she hasn't figured out how to face it yet
Stepping into the queen's palace again, Yuan Yuan'er was more cautious than the last time, she knelt in the center of the hall, bowed her head respectfully, and lowered her eyebrows to say hello.
She put her identity as a maidservant and the like, not a beauty in the emperor's harem.
"Get up."
The queen waved her hand, not embarrassing her in the matter of asking for peace, and seemed to be very satisfied with her low profile, although she had a superior authority on her expression, but she was always graceful and generous.
Yuan Yuan'er rose in response, and only then did she raise her head and look around, and at this time, she saw that next to the queen, she was looking at her concubine Niangniang with a malicious face.
Drink...... It was Concubine Hui who was looking for her to settle accounts today, not the queen.
Then she wasn't exposed last night!
Could it be that Lin Jia didn't choose to betray her last night, but chose to help her hide and protect her?
At that moment, the gloom in Yuan Yuan'er's heart suddenly disappeared a lot, and the hand that was hanging down by her side and clenched it also relaxed.
She even smiled extremely flattering at the queen.
Well, actually, she's being cheap again.
Obviously, Lin Jia should have owed her a reward and used beautiful men to fool her, but people just didn't know what intentions they had and didn't expose her, so she felt that people were getting better again.
even felt that the queen who cheated on him became less terrifying.
"Queen Mother, is there any arrangement for summoning the concubines today?"
Since the queen mother is not so terrifying, she does not continue to bow her head and pretend to be a subordinate, after all, she is just a little cheap, and she doesn't like to be abused.
"I heard, you made yesterday's onion stir-fried meat?"
Hey?
Why did you suddenly get involved with this?
"Yes."
Although Yuan Yuan'er was puzzled, she still answered honestly, after all, the queen's lover is the director of the imperial dining room, so she dares to lie.
"That's very good."
The queen suddenly praised at this moment, with a happy tone in this gentleness, but Yuan Yuan'er couldn't help but think of the queen's "ugly and lowly fat man" last night
, I couldn't help but tremble.
And at this time, the queen continued to speak.
"Such as a beauty, the cook in Concubine Hui's small kitchen suffered a cold two days ago and went out of the palace for treatment, and the Internal Affairs Office tossed for so long and didn't find a suitable candidate, the palace saw that you had a lot of ideas about cooking, so I wanted you to go over and help, how about it?"
Is this going to demote her from the emperor's beauty to a cook?
And she entered the palace of Concubine Hui, isn't it a sheep waiting to be abused, maybe she won't know how she will die one day.
That's too ruthless, isn't it?
Yuan Yuan'er immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the queen very cautiously.
"Queen Niangniang, Concubine Hui needs help, the sisters in the palace should naturally lend a hand, and cooking is also what the concubine is good at, the concubine is gone, she must be able to make more and better dishes for the emperor and Concubine Hui to taste, but, after all, the concubine is the emperor's beauty, so the identity is a little embarrassing, I don't know whether to be classified as a cook, or still the emperor's beauty?"
She said this cleverly, and the queen's face became solemn.
According to the queen's thoughts, she naturally wants to classify Yuan Yuan'er's identity as a cook, and she is also a cook under Concubine Hui, but after all, this matter cannot be put on the surface, once the matter is made clear, then it will have nothing to do with her.
In particular, in case Concubine Hui uses Yuan Yuan'er's cooking skills to gain more love from the emperor, then ...... "Concubine Hui, what do you say at this time?" ”
The queen turned her head to look at Concubine Hui and threw the question to her with a stern face.
"Back to the queen's mother, the concubine feels that Rumei is making a fuss, but she just wants to ask her for help because she has this ability, and where does it involve the issue of identity."
Concubine Hui covered her lips and smiled, looking like she was not a big deal, and met the queen's eyes frankly.
"But after all, she is the emperor's beauty, although she can't be called a beauty, but her identity is there after all, and it is not good to ask her to go to her sister's palace to do such things as a subordinate."
The queen propped her forehead and showed a look of distress.
"But sister, you have opened your mouth to ask this palace to help talk about it, and this palace is not easy to refuse, alas, this palace really doesn't know what to do."
"It's the concubine who has caused trouble to the mother, and I ask the mother to forgive the sin."
Concubine Hui stood up and bowed to the queen gently, but her expression was somewhat unhappy.
"The concubine only tasted the beef yesterday, and she thought it was very fresh."
Speaking of yesterday's fried beef with onions, the queen smiled even more happily, and said that the emperor also praised a good word yesterday and ate a lot.
It's just that although the queen at this time is still graceful and luxurious, there is a trace of coldness in her eyes, which makes her whole person exude a noble atmosphere.
Concubine Hui didn't see the change in the queen, but Yuan Yuan'er did.
She smiled and looked at the battle between the queen and Concubine Hui, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seems that this level has passed today.
It was at this time that an extremely inconspicuous eunuch who had been hiding in the corner slipped out quietly, whispered a few words to a guard in the corner outside the palace and came back quietly.
Half an hour later, before the secret fight between the queen and Concubine Hui entered the white-hot stage, a subordinate hurriedly walked in, saying that Lin Jia, the director of the imperial dining room, wanted to see him.
The queen's face changed imperceptibly, and her gaze softened a lot.
"Please."
With a wave of his hand, Lin Jia's elegant and elegant figure appeared at the door after a while, and Yuan Yuan'er lowered her head and shrank to the side.
You can't see me, you can't see me.
She kept giving psychological hints to herself in her heart, and her eyes flickered and did not forget the direction of Lin Jia to look over.
Whining...... Why did it come so suddenly, she hadn't figured out how to face him yet.
