The sun was slowly setting outside, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the East Palace walked softly and slowly, until the princess came back with a mighty procession, and the eldest shuang'er who was on duty outside immediately greeted him and whispered: "The slave and maid see the princess, the prince came back early today, but he looked quite tired, and after returning to the palace, he went to the house to rest, and the slaves and maids were careful not to disturb." ”

Hearing this, Chang Luohua instructed the people behind him: "Disperse, don't disturb quietly." ”

The palace maids and eunuchs behind him except for a few close, the rest scattered, each with its own position, showing the rules between the marches, Chang Luohua led the way and was stopped by Liu Jin as soon as he arrived at the door: "The slave and maid see the princess, the slave and maid came back just now and saw that there were a few more ice guards in the house, the cold is a little heavy, you are pregnant, it is not okay to go in and suffer the cold suddenly, if there is nothing important, wait for His Highness to wake up and the slave and maid will report it." ”

Chang Luohua stroked his stomach and said, "Okay, but the sun is going down, and the ice in the house has been removed, and the coldness is not good for the master's health." ”

Liu Jin bowed and agreed, Chang Luohua turned around and left to rest in the house on the side, she had just come back from Kunning Palace, Queen Ma and Yu'er pulled her and talked a lot.

After a long while, Zhu Biao in the house woke up quietly, pulled Nuan Yu, who was fanning the wind, and hugged her in his arms, regardless of her humble, took a few bites of rouge, and then got up and changed into another set of light robes, and Liu Jin, who was guarding outside, came in to serve.

Zhu Biao put on his clothes and took another sip of herbal tea and ordered, "Is the crown princess back?" ”

Liu Jin brought the newly made pastries and said: "The crown princess came back from Kunning Palace half an hour ago, and when she saw that it was not so hot, she specially instructed her to remove some of the ice in the house, for fear that Her Royal Highness would be greedy for cold." ”

Zhu Biao nodded with a smile and said, "Remove it, invite the princess to come over for dinner, the palace is also hungry." ”

Liu Jin immediately agreed and left, and Zhu Biao picked up a piece of quite delicious jujube cake and handed it to Nuan Yu: "I've been very busy lately, how are you doing every day, and you haven't been taught a lesson by the crown princess?" ”

Nuan Yu happily took the jujube cake and said, "The slave is well-behaved, so that she will not be taught a lesson by the princess." ”

Zhu Biao looked at Nuan Yu, who squinted happily after eating a bite of jujube cake, silly Nizi, even if your crown princess doesn't hate you, how can she like you more? It's just to be lenient with you for my sake.

Zhu Biao shook his head, he never thought that he could let the women in his harem love each other, it was not in line with human nature, Zhu Biao could stay in the harem for so long, who would accompany him more, and there would be fewer people on the side, who would be willing?

After a while, Chang Luohua came in, saluted Zhu Biao, sat on the side and smiled brightly: "Are you tired today?" After a while, I should use more meals, and the concubine has already let Xiao Zao Na cook a pot of mountain ginseng and black chicken soup. ”

Zhu Biao stretched his waist and said: "Okay, it's really time to make up for it, they all say that a good wife is pleasing to the heart, and the ancients don't deceive me." ”

At this time, the dishes were brought up by the palace maids and placed neatly, Liu Jin and Nuan Yu stepped forward to cloth vegetables, Chang Luohua ate two bites of sauerkraut fish, the taste of pregnant women is so unique, fortunately, I don't like to eat smelly food.

Zhu Biao is aiming at the bird's nest red and white duck south fresh hot pot and roasted roe deer meat deer tail plate and a dish of fried cabbage, with fine white flour steamed buns to eat very fragrant, the lunch is basically drinking, not to mention the taste of the dishes at the banquet is average.

Chang Luohua now eats small and frequent meals, eats a few favorite dishes, and then takes a small sip of the nourishing medicinal food, and Zhu Biao asks Liu Jin to bring a wine stew and tofu over.

Seeing that they had almost eaten, Chang Luohua spoke: "The queen mother called all the people in the imperial dining room to reprimand her in the afternoon, and it was the first time I saw the queen mother angry." ”

Zhu Biao frowned when he heard this, and Chang Luohua continued: "After the banquet, the queen mother found that most of the withdrawn dishes had not been touched, and after tasting it herself, she found that the taste was not good, and some of the dishes were not even hot, which was obviously perfunctory. ”

Zhu Biao soothed his brows when he heard this, he thought that it was the imperial dining room that dared to neglect the dishes of Kunning Palace, the palace banquet has always been like this, not to mention that the skills of those cooks in the imperial dining room are average, and the founding of the country has not recruited imperial chefs since then, and most of them are still the chefs of the Marshal's Mansion back then.

"The queen mother also ordered a banquet to be held in the harem, and she had to taste the dishes first, and never allowed the palace to waste so much food, and then even the father and the emperor sent someone to ask, and the queen mother asked people to reply, as the master of the people, he should be worse to support himself, and he should not be picky, but he should be rich in supporting others, and he should not make people feel cold."

Zhu Biao nodded, their family has always been not very picky about eating and drinking, but their dishes must be carefully prepared, but in the face of other people's imperial dining room, they are really slack, relying on the courtiers not to be dissatisfied with the food in the palace, so they are lazy, and now they are found by Queen Ma, so it is naturally difficult to escape the reprimand.

Chang Luohua looked proud and embarrassed, and Zhu Biao said curiously: "What are you happy about when the queen mother reprimands them, is it possible that they still dare to slack off the East Palace meal?" ”

Chang Luohua said with bright eyes: "I just marveled at the queen mother so heroic, I always thought that the queen mother was graceful and luxurious, but I didn't expect to start the fire so majestic, and didn't the master say, let me learn more from the queen mother?" ”

Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head, the woman really held a grudge, but she casually knocked two sentences in the Purple Mountain back then, and she hasn't forgotten it until now, it's really funny.

Chang Luohua was not ready to let him go, and said with his lower abdomen in his arms: "The virtuous woman is pleasing to the heart, the beautiful woman is pleasing to the eyes, the concubine, the princess, if she doesn't ask her mother to welcome Miss Li and Princess Gaoli, isn't she the virtuous woman in the prince's heart?" ”

"That's it, let's let His Royal Highness see the pleasing eyes as soon as possible, the queen mother has already made a decree, let Miss Li serve in the East Palace next month, and then let the third princess of Goryeo enter the palace next month."

Zhu Biao glanced at her when he heard this and said, but there was no prevarication, it was not good for these two to delay for too long, he was not short of women, but the forces represented by these two behind him also needed to be appeased.

Chang Luohua saw that Zhu Biao really didn't say a word, and his originally bright and moving face suddenly changed to a look of grievance, and Zhu Biao had no choice but to speak: "No matter how you can't get past you, the queen mother and father are your backers, what else do you have to be afraid of, just raise the fetus with peace of mind." ”

Chang Luohua bit her ruddy lips tightly when she heard this, if she lost her husband's favor, what if she was loved by her in-laws, after all, the days were lived by the two of them, she was a month old, and she thought that she took the initiative to ask her mother to welcome those two into the palace, and her husband should be more merciful to her.

Zhu Biao smiled and waved his hand, Liu Jin immediately led the palace maids and eunuchs to retreat, he got up and walked to the side of the crown princess, bowed down with his forehead against her sideburns, and said softly: "Okay, this palace thanks the princess for her great kindness, so reasonable and open-minded, she must be a good wife and mother in the future, don't be angry, okay, this palace will accompany you out for a walk." ”
