Chapter 068: Unusual
Jian Ning glanced at Xiao Fuzi with a little puzzlement, and then looked at the maid named Qingzhi.
Qing Zhi looked at Jian Ning like this, smiled slightly, and walked towards Jian Ning elegantly. When Jian Ning was in front of him, he bowed again and explained: "The slave Qingzhi was ordered by the emperor to come to serve the girl's daily life. ”
With the matter of Xiaofuzi in the past, Jian Ning didn't have much opinion on this Qingzhi now. smiled and nodded, and asked politely, "Is there anyone else besides you?" ”
Jian Ning thought that if there were still people, she would simply come out all at once, so as not to be embarrassed.
"Back to the girl, in addition to the slave maid, there are two little maids, two mothers, and three little eunuchs. But they were all rough and did not serve the girl closely. If the girl wanted to see her, the slave and maid went and called them. Qingzhi has a clear voice and speaks appropriately, obviously a palace maid who is polite and knows how to measure.
"In that case, I don't need to see each other, and I won't be able to stay here for a few days anyway. Take me to my room first. Jian Ning thought about it and still hadn't seen those people, it was only seven or eight days here, there was no need for everyone to see them.
Qing Zhi and Xiao Fuzi listened to Jian Ning's words, and the expressions on their faces changed slightly, but they quickly covered them with smiles. Qing Zhi nodded, and then took Jian Ning to the main house.
Xiao Fuzi walked out and prepared dinner for Jian Ning.
Jian Ning followed Qingzhi into the main house, the layout inside was very elegant, and there were bunches of plum blossoms in the house.
Jian Ning looked around for a week, and had to sigh, the palace was different, even the place where she lived as a cook was so exquisite. There are also those furnishings, even if Jian Ning doesn't understand it anymore. I also know that those prices must be expensive.
Further inside is the inner room, a yellow pear dressing cabinet is antique, a rosewood bed is exquisitely carved, and a huge wardrobe should be made of wenge wood
Jian Ning looked at this piece of furniture, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, these are all mahogany furniture, which is very expensive in modern times. I don't want to be here, but it's casually arranged in a cook's room. If so. What should the emperor do when he sleeps on a dragon bed?
Jian Ning was shocked, and finally couldn't help but ask Qing Zhi: "Qing Zhi, are you sure this is the place arranged for me to live." Why don't I feel like it? ”
When Qing Zhi saw it, she immediately replied with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, you won't be mistaken, this is where you live." Look. If there's something you're not satisfied with, just say it. The slave maid immediately asked people to come and change. ”
"Hehe" Jian Ning laughed awkwardly twice, "If there is anything dissatisfied, it is great, and I am a little unsure." ”
Jian Ning approached the dresser. found that there were a lot of jewelry there, Jian Ning hurriedly pointed to those jewelry and asked Qingzhi, "These are left by the previous owner?" ”
Qing Zhi shook her head and said, "Back girl, the emperor knows that you didn't bring anything when you entered the palace." So these are all prepared for you by the emperor. ”
Qing Zhi then walked to the wardrobe again and opened it. Pointing to the brocade clothes and clothes, he said: "And these, they are all prepared by the emperor for the girl." ”
Jian Ning stepped forward and looked at the clothes, not to mention the workmanship or anything, it was the clothes, and they were also good materials that could never be bought outside.
Looking at these, the doubts in Jian Ning's heart became even greater. After a moment of silence, he said to Qingzhi: "Qingzhi, you can send these back, I am here to cook, not to be a mother, whether it is these jewelry or these clothes, it is not suitable for me." ”
"Also, those cooks or imperial chefs in the imperial dining room should all have clothes to wear. Whatever they wear, you can prepare two sets for me, and you don't need more. ”
"Girl, please don't embarrass the slave. Since the emperor has rewarded these, there is no reason to take them back. Please understand. When Qing Zhi heard this, she immediately knelt in front of Jian Ning and said sincerely.
Jian Ning watched Qingzhi kneel down, and immediately went over to help her up. I thought in my heart that it was really embarrassing for her, she was just a little palace maid, if she really sent things back like this, she would definitely be punished by Long Zeye.
Thinking like this, Jian Ning said helplessly: "Forget it, then stay here." But you'll have to prepare two sets of the cook's clothes for me. ”
Long Zeye can prepare these things, but whether he wears them or not is indeed his own freedom.
Qing Zhi was still a little hesitant, but after all, she prepared according to Jian Ning's requirements.
When Qingzhi came back, it happened that Xiaofuzi also came back, bringing the dinner that had just been prepared in the imperial dining room.
Jian Ning looked at the four dishes, one soup and desserts on the table, each of which can be described as delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the preparation is exquisite!
"Xiaofuzi, are you sure you didn't take it wrong? Is this the cook's meal? Jian Ning didn't know much about other things, but she still knew a little about this dish.
The dishes in front of her are comparable to the concubines in the harem, and there are still concubines, and those with low grades are not blessed to enjoy it, let alone say that she is a little cook!
Xiao Fuzi looked at Jian Ning's expression, suddenly became cautious, and hurriedly replied with a smile: "Back girl, this is specially ordered by the emperor." You are about to organize a wedding banquet, so naturally you need to know the skills of the imperial chef in the imperial dining room, so your dishes are the specialties of every imperial chef these days. ”
Jian Ning looked at Xiao Fuzi straight for a long time, staring at Xiao Fuzi and sweating. In the end, I tasted these dishes with suspicion.
After all, the imperial kitchen is the imperial kitchen, and although there is still room for improvement in these dishes, they are already delicious that cannot be eaten outside. I think the only thing that can be compared to it is the craftsmanship of the old imperial chef in Tianxianglou.
Jian Ning really ate this meal with an attitude of understanding, so she ate it for a longer time, and sometimes asked Xiaofuzi on the side, these dishes were from the hands of the imperial chef, and she silently wrote them down in her heart.
After Jian Ning finished eating, she freshened up and rested, but she had to get up early from tomorrow.
After Qing Zhi made sure that Jian Ning was resting, she instructed Xiao Fuzi and hurriedly left Yuqing Xiaozhu.
After walking for a long time, Qing Zhi arrived at Long Zeye's Changle Palace.
Seeing Long Zeye, Qing Zhi saluted respectfully: "Slaves and maids see the emperor." ”
"Well, get up." Long Zeye sat cross-legged on the couch beside him, looked up at Qing Zhi and asked, "How is the situation today?" ”
"When she returned to the emperor, Miss Jian did not want to wear the clothes and jewelry prepared by the emperor, but asked the slave maid to prepare the same clothes for her as the cook in the imperial dining room." Qing Zhi reported the matter to Long Zeye little by little.
"Moreover, Miss Jane is clever and often suspicious of these arrangements. The slave and maid are courageous, if it has been like this, within three days, Miss Jian will definitely be suspicious and unwilling to live in Yuqing Xiaozhu anymore. Qing Zhi said worriedly.
When Long Zeye heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, looking a little annoyed. He can arrange it like this now, mainly because Jian Ning doesn't understand the etiquette customization in the palace, but as Qing Zhi said, if Jian Ning has always been skeptical, according to her cleverness, it won't take long to find out.
"I know, you can go back first." Long Zeye didn't say anything in the end, and waved Qing Zhi away.
When Qing Zhi saw it, she didn't say anything anymore, and slowly retreated. Out of the door of Changle Palace, he sighed faintly. Since serving the emperor, how have you ever seen the emperor like this!
When I went out, I just saw Fan Chengfu standing at the door, Qingzhi stepped forward and bowed her knees slightly to say hello to Fan Chengfu.
Fan Chengfu was also busy smiling and greeting Qingzhi, and asked Qingzhi with a little worry: "Miss Qingzhi, I don't know if our little Fuzi is still dedicated to doing things?" ”
Xiaofuzi was cultivated and promoted by Fan Chengfu, and he was also extremely filial to Fan Chengfu. Fan Chengfu can't have a son, so he has always regarded Xiaofuzi as his own son. These are also well known in the palace.
When Qing Zhi saw him asking, she smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, Xiaofuzi is very clever and does things properly, and he will not be bad in the future." ”
Fan Chengfu's smile deepened when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Please also ask Miss Qingzhi to take care of me." ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry." Qing Zhi nodded elegantly and politely, and then said, "If the father-in-law is fine, Qing Zhi will leave first, and Miss Jian still needs someone to take care of her." ”
"Okay, okay, Miss Qingzhi walks slowly." When Fan Chengfu heard this, he immediately gave way to the side.
Fan Chengfu is happy in his heart, in this palace, the most important thing is not how strong his ability is, but to have a pair of bright eyes.
He served the two emperors, and he watched the current emperor grow up. How could the emperor have done this to a woman, this Miss Jane will definitely be extraordinary in the future, if Xiaofuzi can win her love, will she still have a good life in the future?
Just now, Miss Jane just entered the palace as a cook, and the emperor has already sent Qingzhi around her, which shows that she attaches great importance to it.
Although Qingzhi is called a palace maid, no one in this palace knows that Qingzhi's identity is far higher than some concubines.
Jian Ning's entry into the palace this time, escorted by a hundred forbidden troops led by Prince Xiang, has already caused a sensation throughout Kyoto. The natural Xiahou Yan and Ai Gaoyi also knew.
In the study room of the Dongshang Palace, Xiahou Yan's whole person was surrounded by anger, and the whole person sat there motionless, it was almost time for a stick of incense, Feng Yang stood in front of Xiahou Yan, and he didn't dare to move, even in this winter, his back was already soaked with sweat.
"Master, but do you need to go to the palace?" Feng Yang couldn't wait any longer, so he said tentatively.
Xiahou Yan glanced at Feng Yang and didn't say anything, just took the pen on the side, quickly wrote down a secret letter, threw it to Feng Yang and said: "Hurry up and send it to my father, the palace will receive a reply before Leling's wedding!" ”
When Feng Yang heard this, the whole person was frozen, there were seven days left before the princess's wedding, and a trip back and forth between Dongshang and Yuan Chu was like an impossible task.
But at this time, Feng Yang didn't say much, it was better to send a letter than to bear the anger of the prince. (To be continued) R580
