118. Chapter 126
Halfway through dinner, they were already full, and Shen Shuzhao and Wei Yang each had a pair of silver chopsticks on the dark lacquer bowl in front of them. However, the dishes were still being served, and Shen Shuzhao couldn't stand it anymore, so he couldn't help but speak: "There are too many dishes, can you eat them?" Xi Lu twisted aggrievedly, "I'm afraid that Niangniang and the eldest princess won't eat enough." ”
"So much fish and meat, it doesn't matter if the palace eats plump, the eldest princess is a well-known beauty, and she pays great attention to diet on weekdays, but when she comes to the Bailu Palace of the palace, she is out of shape, this crime is not affordable in the palace, right?"
The tea in Wei Yang's hand was almost spilled. What is this all about?
When she heard it, it made sense, she couldn't wait to pat her elm brain, the eldest princess Kunyi looked so thin, she usually couldn't eat three bites, and she was a person with less meat, even if she didn't look like a person who couldn't eat the fireworks in the world, this aspect was definitely the same as those famous ladies in the capital who were slim and well-proportioned, these dishes would definitely not have the appetite of the eldest princess, otherwise why wouldn't she take a few bites?
"The slave knows, or ...... Remove the greasy one and let the cook redo it? Xi Lu cautiously bowed to her master, Shen Shuzhao, and asked.
Wei Yang replied, "That's it, I can eat alone." As for Shen Shuzhao next to her, she was just making fun of the green, and when she saw that the other party was serious, she stopped joking. Who knew that Wei Yang's next words almost took her breath away - "Lone is never a picky eater, because Lone has a fortunate thing, that is, he will not gain weight by eating anything, so he doesn't have to worry about his body." ”
……
Ah, that's good. Shen Shuzhao lowered her head and looked at the meat in her bowl, her face was ashamed, since she nominally entered the palace, she had eaten more than twice as much as in Shen Mansion, but she had never experienced the treatment of eating without fat, and there was a hint of envy in her eyes.
"It's you," Wei Yang turned around easily, and the silver chopsticks picked up the largest piece of meat on the table and placed it firmly in Shen Shuzhao's bowl, "...... Replenish your body. ”
The last sentence is so ambiguous.
Shen Shuzhao quickly reacted and had nothing but dry staring, she wanted to cry without tears, she was like a little sheep who had been arranged, she was squeezed dry during the day, not to mention, and she had to accept the secret teasing in public at night, remembering what a beautiful adulterous concubine should be in her previous life, the six palaces surrendered, and she never was happy or angry, how could she have thought that there would be today?
Unconsciously, after dinner, the palace people presented the jade cup to the two of them.
The dining utensils were removed, and then the two of them were enjoying the greasy tea, at this time, there was a sound of clappling footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and the bead curtain shook violently, and then Wei Yang's maidservant appeared and reported, "Eldest princess, the Queen Mother heard that His Royal Highness went to visit Bailu Palace today, so she said that she hadn't seen Her Royal Highness in the harem for several days, so she summoned you to the Yongshou Palace and wanted to see you." She was in a hurry when she entered, and it seemed that she was also the reason for the sudden discovery. The beautiful atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point because of this sentence, and half a day later, Wei Yang glanced at Shen Shuzhao helplessly, as if asking her for forgiveness, the Queen Mother thinks of her daughter, where can't Shen Shuzhao understand? Then he nodded thoughtfully. It's just that she is very curious, listening to what the palace maid said, Wei Yang has not been in the palace recently, where has he gone? But after thinking about it, since I entered the palace, I haven't seen her stay in the palace for a few while.
Wei Yang stood up apologetically, wanting to leave with the maidservant, but Shen Shuzhao hurriedly followed, "I'll send you." After blurting out, she was stunned, and immediately changed her words: "Eldest princess...... The concubine sent you. ”
Who knew that Wei Yang raised his lips lightly and touched Shen Shuzhao's head, "Stay here." In the future, it will come often. ”
"But I ......" Shen Shuzhao's appearance at this time really looks like a child.
Wei Yang hugged her, and said in a whisper that only the two of them could hear: "Don't always stand at the door and watch me go away, I don't want you to only see my departing back." ”
"Hmmm......"
"Obedient."
Then she let go of her embrace and looked at Shen Shuzhao seriously, "Let's go." ”
Shen Shuzhao was very reluctant and helpless, and when Wei Yang left, she felt that the dormitory was gradually deserted. She sat left and right, and always felt as if there was still a shadow of the gathering around her, and in the end, she had to run to the cook. Today, these people have taken it upon themselves to make a claim, and I wonder if there will be any ingredients left in the library. In fact, it stands to reason that it is rare for a concubine to have a small kitchen, not to mention that she is a person without a title, but there is no way, she is only a nominal concubine, and she is the helper of half of the emperor, how can there be any reason why her subordinates are not full of food and warmth? So the emperor built it for her.
The dining room is built in the east of the dormitory, and you have to go down to the dark building to get there. When they came into the kitchen, they saw that the cook and the eunuch were busy washing the dishes, they were unaware of Shen Shuzhao's appearance, and they didn't turn around until Shen Shuzhao coughed. In fact, Shen Shuzhao didn't pick on the thorns, but just took a look at acquaintances by the way.
"...... How do you think about this? Is there something wrong with the servants? ”
Shen Shuzhao smiled, "You guys, ......"
Hearing that Niangniang said so unclearly, everyone was so nervous that they pricked up their ears and listened attentively, Shen Shuzhao said: "The eldest princess came to Bailu Palace for the first time, and you are doing a good job. ”
"Whatever Niangniang said, she is not only the daughter of the Queen Mother, but also a friend of Niangniang, and the servants will do their best to serve."
"You guys, you only know that the eldest princess is a friend, isn't it possible that others are not?"
The chef at the head mentioned in his heart, what did the master mean by this?
Shen Shuzhao continued: "When the concubines came to my palace repeatedly, I didn't see any time when you had a feast. ”
"Ah, this ...... This. ”
Before he could finish hesitating, she pressed the words, "Whether it is a humble concubine or a high eldest princess, they are all friends of this palace, and this palace does not treat each other differently between high and low, so why do you advocate and deliberately please them?" ”
The big chef took a few little cooks and kowtowed, "It's the slaves who think they are smart and don't think about it carefully, and whatever the mother tells in the future will be what they want, and they will never make any more claims!" Ask for forgiveness. ”
"That's it." Shen Shuzhao smiled lightly, exuding a benevolent aura all over her body, "You also think about the number of etiquette first, for the sake of the palace." ”
It turned out that the mother didn't come to ask for the guilt, and these few people were relieved.
"It's just that the hospitality of this palace has never looked at the identity, only the depth of the affection, the eldest princess is a true friend in the palace, and so is the good concubine, you remember not to look down on people, this palace treats no one as bad, you are my people, and I hope to be able to do this."
The cooks hurriedly said yes, they didn't expect the master who was favored to be in the limelight to be so kind, no wonder the emperor and the queen mother liked both sides.
Shen Shuzhao asked them a few words casually, and then left. In fact, these people have found out everything in their previous lives, and they are not the queen mother's meticulous work, so there is still room for appointment. Wei Yang's identity can afford this rich meal, and the smart palace people will naturally not do it normally, but because Shen Shuzhao took the route of a traitorous concubine without favor and power in her previous life, and in this life she is a favored concubine route, and pure goodness means that she has done enough drama in all aspects, treats everyone equally, is sympathetic to her subordinates, and cannot tolerate a little sloppiness, she must portray herself as kind in front of her subordinates, otherwise who knows if she will be sold out in a blink of an eye.
Therefore, most of the palace people in this palace, even if they follow the master all day long, they may not know the true face of the master.
Shen Shuzhao has done a particularly good job in this regard recently, and on the Queen Mother's side, except for the eldest sister who didn't buy it, everyone else flattered her.
But then again, when it comes to good concubines, they are also poor people, they lost their lives in a daze in their previous life, and they didn't even have a chance to join the concubine. She vaguely felt that the death of the concubine must be related to her biological father's investigation of Concubine Xi's Xu family, as for why she didn't do it for a long time, it was three months late, presumably it was related to Gu Concubine's defection to the Queen Mother and secretly helped, Gu Concubine's threat was temporarily far ahead, so Gu Concubine had an accident during the banquet, and the matter of this concubine was left behind. This also gave her a little buffer time, so that she could help the good concubine. Concubine Liang is a very compassionate person, and treats herself well, and she did not avoid suspicion under the pressure of bad public opinion of the palace concubine "the concubine of the Shen family seized the favor of the concubine", and she did not save the life of an innocent concubine who buried the vicious hand of Concubine Xi, it is too much to say.
Shen Shuzhao walked all the way back to the dormitory in the cold moonlight, the road was dark and weak, she occasionally stopped to look at the dead trees that were endlessly red in the dark, and at this moment, she suddenly remembered a person, a person who had long been forgotten and was almost regarded as a defeated general. That is the eldest sister - Shen Zhuangzhao. Like the branches, there are still remaining flowers, but they have to fade with the autumn wind, and there are no flowers and they are really lonely.
Recently, that person has learned a little bit about the city, knows how to show favor in public, and does his best to be the eldest sister, and he has learned things during this time. She had to pay more attention to this.
And the queen, since she entered the palace, she has been saying that she is sick and has not seen her, and in the morning she asked An Du to go directly to the Queen Mother's Changle Palace, deliberately avoiding the sarcasm of the Shen family. But now, the queen claims that she is well and can go to see her tomorrow. A sneer appeared on Shen Shuzhao's lips, this is the first time the concubines and the queen meet tomorrow, there will be a good show to watch.
