Chapter Fifty-Eight: News from the Palace
Lu Qingjin knew that they had no malicious intentions, so he didn't care about their random speculation, and waved his hand while ordering: "It's almost all here, tomorrow you remember to ask the guards to come over and make a net, if the big bird comes back, we will catch it!" ”
A few maids bowed and agreed, and Xiao Ling stepped forward to help her walk out: "I don't know if Niangniang wants to cook by herself today?" I heard that the emperor will come to our palace for dinner! ”
Lu Qingjin glanced at her, shook his head, and said with a smile: "This palace knows what you mean, but if this palace does what the emperor wants every time, then this palace will not be favored for long, and things must be done in moderation." ”
Xiao Ling was a little ignorant whether he was stupid or not, and nodded when he heard the words, and said, "The slave understands, let the kitchen prepare dinner!" ”
Lu Qingjin snorted with satisfaction, but before he could raise his head, he heard the hurried footsteps in front of him: "Oh no, Niangniang, the flower in our palace suddenly bloomed!" ”
Lu Qingjin was also shocked when she heard this, but she didn't smell the smell and didn't panic: "Didn't you just transplant it to the palace?" Why did it suddenly bloom! ”
The little eunuch was not very old and was about to cry at this time: "The slave doesn't know, but the palace is full of the smell of konjac flowers, and there is no way to live in it!" ”
Lu Qingjin took a few people to speed up and walked to the gate of the palace, because they hadn't cleaned up before they came back, the gates of the palace were all open, and the few people who had just walked to the door were almost fainted by the stench that came to their faces, Lu Qingjin just couldn't stand it anymore if he liked to study flowers and plants: "Forget it, it seems that there is no way to leave it here, you guys quickly get it away!" ”
A few guards said yes and passed, and Lu Qingjin leaned against the door helplessly: "It seems that I just want to have dinner, so I asked those people to put this flower in a place where there is no one, and I will take a look when I have time." ”
The little palace maid agreed to cover her mouth and nose and went in, Zhang Dequan had heard that the queen had raised konjac flowers, so he didn't dare to approach at this time, he stopped a little farther away and saluted respectfully: "Qi Yu Niangniang, there is news from outside the palace, saying that it is your last incident that has eyebrows, and this is a letter sent by someone outside." ”
Xiao Ling stepped forward and took it and handed it to Lu Qingjin, Lu Qingjin knew that this was the matter of Wei Jinzhi last time, Qin Zhao asked Zhang Dequan to come over at this time to cross the clear road, and immediately said gratefully: "There is Gonggong Lao, thank the emperor for me!" ”
Zhang Dequan hesitated for a while and said: "I beg the slave to say more, Niangniang is the queen after all, and people outside the palace are always ill-intentioned, and I hope Niangniang will be more careful." ”
Lu Qingjin nodded to indicate that he knew, and Zhang Dequan arched his hand and turned to leave.
Xiao Ling was a little puzzled when she saw this: "Why didn't Niang Niang tell the emperor about this matter!" In this way, maybe we can live in other palaces, this smell will not be dispersed for a while, and Niangniang will have to wait for a long time! ”
Lu Qingjin looked at the departing Zhang Dequan with complicated eyes: "He didn't get close just now, I think he already knows, Zhang Dequan is the person next to the emperor, he knows everything, do you think the emperor will not know?" It's just that I let the palace go, and now I don't want to take care of it! ”
Xiao Ling didn't dare to say more when he heard this, so he obediently shut his mouth. A few guards came out of the palace gate and said respectfully: "The subordinates have been cleaned up, and the konjac flowers have been placed in the vacant palace next door, and the mother can go in!" ”
Lu Qingjin nodded, and entered the palace with the still smelly air, Xiao Ling followed behind her, and when she saw this, she hurriedly ordered someone to light incense.
Lu Qingjin was already hungry, and her stomach was about to scream when she smelled the familiar smell of incense, she looked at the incense powder in Xiao Ling's hand: "Is there cumin in here?" I smell it very familiar. ”
Xiao Ling handed her the incense powder in her hand and said with a smile: "Niangniang's nose is really powerful, there is indeed cumin here, but it is a small one, this thing smells big, and ordinary incense will not be used, but the smell in our palace is too bad now, and the slave maid uses some!" ”
Lu Qingjin opened his mouth in disbelief: "You said that this cumin is used for incense?" Isn't it supposed to be in the kitchen? ”
Xiao Ling was obviously stunned and stumbled a little and said, "How can you be in the kitchen?" This thing has a special taste and can't be eaten at all, is Niangniang mistaken? ”
Lu Qingjin finally remembered that he felt that something was wrong, there was obviously a lack of seasoning when he was roasting, and he blamed himself for not eating it for too long, and he didn't remember it for a while.
"You go tell the kitchen to find some cumin, not this kind of powder, but the kind that has not been processed, and prepare some lamb."
Xiao Ling was a little helpless when she heard this: "Didn't Niang Niang say that she wouldn't cook tonight?" The slave has already ordered someone to inform the emperor. ”
Lu Qingjin felt that this little palace maid was not only young but also timid, so he explained angrily: "Although the emperor is not coming, we still have to have dinner, this palace will make a new dish and try it first, you can ask someone to prepare!" It's going to be fine. ”
Xiao Ling said yes and went out, Lu Qingjin let out a sigh and leaned back on the chair to rest, unconsciously, drowsy.
Suddenly, a letter fell into her hand, she woke up with a start, and found that it was the letter handed in by Wei Jinzhi, rubbed her eyes and opened it helplessly.
There are no superfluous words on the letter, I think I don't dare to say more because I know her identity, the letter only says that the method she provides is very effective, and asks her to go to the palace outside the palace tomorrow to say goodbye.
Before Lu Qingjin put down the letter in his hand, Xiao Ling appeared, the little palace maid was still half a year old, although she was timid, she was more interested in these novelties, and ran in happily: "Niangniang, the kitchen is ready, do you want to go over now?" ”
Lu Qingjin smiled and handed her the letter in his hand: "Go and burn this!" This is the end of the palace, if the cooking is delicious tonight, you can eat a little together! ”
Xiao Ling was very happy, and when she thought of the rules of the palace, she swallowed her saliva and refused: "The slaves and maids don't dare, and the things made by the mother are naturally only eaten by the emperor." ”
Lu Qingjin was a little amused when he saw her reluctant and pretending to be old: "Isn't it just a meal?" It's not like this, besides, there are only us in this palace, even if you eat it, no one knows, it's still a little girl! What to do so old! ”
It was probably the first time someone had said such kind words to them, and Xiao Ling and several palace maids all looked at Lu Qingjin with tears in their eyes.
Lu Qingjin waved his hand and walked towards the kitchen.
