Chapter 123
Thinking of Mei Ru wearing a phoenix crown and a red palace dress, she is generous, decent, dignified and stable with her gestures and smiles, even if she is acting, she may not be able to reach one-tenth of it.
"Queen" is not just a title, just put on a show to shake the queen's majesty, and managing the huge harem for the emperor is the key.
You think, three women are just one play, so many women are together, let an inexperienced her manage, not to mention others, just Concubine Chen who met yesterday, the shrewdness and sophistication on her face, the astonishment in her eyes and all kinds of disobedience are enough to give her a headache. She'd better rest.
"Life is short, and it is better to do something practical than to have that kind of calculation." Meishuang said lazily.
"That's right." Lin Tian'er nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice, "Say something that shouldn't be said, how to become a queen at the moment is something you should consider pragmatically, otherwise, you just wait to go around in this beautiful back garden."
Lin Tian'er looked at the sky, and before leaving, she didn't forget to enlighten and encourage Mei Shuang, "Lin Shutong, don't be presumptuous, the Queen Mother said that you can do it, I am optimistic about you, don't let me down!!"
Looking at Lin Tian'er majestically walking out of the back garden and about to open up her grand cause, Meishuang smiled bitterly, everyone has the freedom to choose their own way, only they don't! What a world!
Nima even saw that Lin Tian'er could see that if she didn't agree to be the queen, I was afraid that this Yaochi-like place would become her house arrest
Lin Tian'er didn't forget to look back at Mei Shuang, who was deep in thought, and smiled with satisfaction, hehe, the old man of the Queen Mother is amazing, you see that he is so thunderbolted and bombarded indiscriminately, coupled with the last "reminder", Lin Shutong was obviously shaken.
Remembering that she said that Lin Shutong didn't want to be the queen because of the "snake spirit disease", Lin Tian'er stuck out her tongue, waved in the direction of Meishuang, and said apologetically, "Lin Shutong, I will come back from my trip to congratulate you." ”
As soon as Lin Tian'er left, Meishuang immediately felt that the huge dormitory was as empty as the square, except for a few maids who came in and out, there was not even a movement, and she was depressed as if she was in prison.
I had the heart to talk to a few maids, but I didn't expect that there was basically no other communication except for saying "yes" or shaking his head to indicate "no", and I didn't expect that all of them were wooden people like flowers!
Mei Shuang lay on the beauty couch and stared blankly at the flowers of the acacia tree outside the window, listening to the noisy cicadas in her ears, recalling the days when she was thrilling outside the palace but came and went freely, and said that she would be depressed in less than a week if she stayed like this.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, Gonggong Li came and brought the emperor's message to Meishuang.
"The emperor knows that you are an idle person, so he specially asked the servant to carry a letter and let you go to the imperial dining room to make sour plum soup." Gonggong Li said with a smile.
The heart said that the future queen mother is amazing, and a mouthful of soup can tie the emperor. Instead of keeping the emperor's heart, it is better to keep the emperor's stomach. Up and down the palace, only this mutated Miss Frost has caught the emperor right now.
It seems that the emperor still understands himself and does not give himself time to be depressed, Mei Shuang said, "You don't need to go to such a high-end place to do it, just do it in the small kitchen here." ”
Gonggong Li hurriedly explained with a smile, "That's the case, tomorrow night, the emperor is going to have a banquet for foreign envoys, and there are more people, so the amount that may be needed is also large."
When Meishuang heard this, good guy, dare to send me to the imperial dining room as a cook?
On second thought, it's better to stay anywhere than to stay here.
At that moment, Meishuang readily agreed.
This made Gonggong Li a little unexpected, and he thought that she would shirk and even lower her status in order to help the kitchen in the imperial dining room, but she didn't expect that she was a good talker.
"However, this is my family's ancestral secret recipe, which can be used but not in vain." Meishuang said.
Gonggong Li looked at Mei Shuang in surprise and stretched out two fingers with a stern expression and began to compare, "Two methods, you can do it yourself with a one-time buyout formula, and I will guide you indefinitely; Second, buy my sour plum soup and count the money by the bowl. ”
This is a new situation, and Gonggong Li hurriedly ran back to ask for instructions.
Along the way, I secretly wondered how to say this to the emperor, no one has ever dared to bargain with the emperor, the king wants the ministers to die, the ministers have to die, I want you to make a bowl of sour plum soup, what a honor it is to put on others, this Miss Shuang actually asked for silver directly.
Xiao Luo was reviewing the excerpts, and Gonggong Li finished reporting with trepidation, thinking that the emperor would shine brightly, and he didn't want to ask about the crime, but he didn't expect the emperor to frown, and said lightly, "Anyway, it will be used in the harem, so let's buy it out at one time." ”
Gonggong Li was very worried that the emperor didn't hear clearly, so he hurriedly reminded carefully, "Your Majesty, she said that it takes a thousand taels of silver to buy out!" ”
Xiao Luo stopped the red pen in his hand and said thoughtfully, "If she likes Zhuyu, you take her to the library to pick it up, and if she likes silver tickets, you give it to her directly." ”
Incredible!
Gonggong Li came to Mei Shuang again, and spread the things in his hand on the table, a key to the library and a ready-made silver ticket of one thousand taels.
Mei Shuang picked up the latter without hesitation, took a closer look at the amount, and then smiled at Gonggong Li, "Gonggong Li, let's go-"
- In the imperial dining room, Mei Shuang took out the recipe that had already been written and handed it to the chef in the imperial dining room.
When the chef saw it, he immediately applauded, "Sure enough, it is an ancestral secret recipe, fine but not mixed, black plum, dried hawthorn slices, tangerine peel, licorice and sucrose, I didn't expect that only five kinds of raw materials have such an effect." ”
Mei Shuang hurriedly said modestly, "Just master the amount and heat, if you don't understand anything, just ask, I will be responsible for the post-service." ”
In fact, what his three-legged cat's cooking skills can do is not a piece of cake for the imperial chef, so why do you do that leisure?
Win the first battle!
Lying in bed at night, Meishuang deliberately looked at the thick silver ticket more than ten times, naturally not doubting the authenticity of the silver ticket, but through this silver ticket, she discovered a market with huge potential.
The needs of the emperor are the needs of the palace, who does the palace represent? O government!
In other words, it was only one afternoon's work, and she had successfully completed a task of "government procurement".
It's just that she has this convenient condition and doesn't need to go through the bidding process.
Meishuang instantly had a feeling of tears in her eyes, thinking that she could stay in that big company with a bright appearance, and she followed the leader above to run under the scorching sun during her internship, so she realized what it means to "the door is difficult to enter and the face is ugly", just for a large government procurement order, she worked hard to prepare the bidding document, even then she was almost given away as a gift by the company
Needless to say, Nima can be regarded as regaining some balance here.
Mei Shuang thought in her heart, if she did a few such transactions, she would have the expenses to leave the palace in the future, and by the way, she could also return the two thousand taels of silver that she had stolen from Nangong Nuo, so that both people and money could be cleared
Xiao Luo, the emperor of the Great Qin Kingdom, stopped outside the window, looking at Mei Shuang, who was leaning on the bed with Erlang's legs crossed and thinking about the silver ticket, he didn't study her expression, mainly because her snow-white feet were swaying, leisurely and comfortable, and he clearly told him that at least she was still satisfied with her day's business. I didn't expect this woman to be quite business-minded.
It's just that the way she asked for cash and silver tickets made him very unhappy, which also conveyed a signal at the same time, what she cared about was probably not how much silver she had, but preparing for her future, after all, no matter how valuable the treasures in the palace were, it was not as hard currency as silver.
Remembering that she had begged the Queen Mother to leave the palace, Xiao Luo was angry for a while, and Nima thought that she had broken off her relationship with me when she left the palace?
It's no wonder that the Queen Mother said that this woman's family always has to be restrained, and she can't hold her heart after a few days outside the palace.
Heart! She has a P heart! But if you have a heart, you can't see the difference between yourself and her with a little heart?
In fact, when did his personality bother to deliberately keep a woman, but now he has to put down his value as a ninety-five supreme in order to keep this woman and willingly take out a silver ticket to buy her services.
Thinking of this, a complicated feeling rose in my heart, Nima didn't clean you up well, I, the emperor, was in vain.
Seeing that the emperor who had just been fortunate enough to come to the door again, Mei Shuang was nervous, wasn't she? This frequency is too high, you must know that the traces of love on your body have not completely faded.
She hurriedly put the silver ticket under the pillow and quickly lay down and pretended to be paralyzed, while covering herself tightly with a brocade quilt, her voice was delicate and weak, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well today, and I can't serve you, Your Majesty, please go back." ”
If it weren't for what Fang had just seen with his own eyes outside, he was really deceived by her performance, Xiao Luo went straight to the couch and stared at Mei Shuang with deep eyes, "What?" After earning my money, you can't accompany me? ”
One sentence made Mei Shuang's eyes widen and she stammered, and for a moment she suddenly thought that she had come to Miaochun Building, and what was even more sad was that she actually subconsciously said, "Actually, I am a performer and not a person." ”
“”
As soon as the words came out, looking at the suddenly twisted eyebrows of the man in front of her and the coldness that flashed under her dark eyes, Mei Shuang couldn't wait to pick up the sole of her shoe and slap herself with a big mouth.
To outsiders, your sister is evidence that she has "fallen".
"Your Majesty," Mei Shuang laughed, and quickly formed words in her mind while looking at Xiao Luo's face, "I mean, I am a fair trade, of course, I know that the emperor is a reasonable person, and he can't bear to let me work hard, so I bought it out at one time, saving my strength Originally, I was going to thank the emperor, but I didn't expect the emperor to come in person, the emperor, please sit down, sit down"
Turning your face is faster than turning a book, and sometimes it's a kind of ability, that soft words, full of sincere little faces, really make you can't pull your face down to reprimand her insincerity.
Xiao Luo's anger was mostly extinguished, although his face did not change, but a trace of burning obviously flashed in his eyes staring at Mei Shuang, "Then how are you going to thank me?" ”
“”
Burned by that gaze, Mei Shuang's heart jumped, and after thinking for two seconds, she decisively took out the silver ticket from under the pillow and shook it in front of Xiao Luo, "How about fifty-fifty?" ”
