CHAPTER XLVI
was named by the concubine herself, and the young ladies began to be jealous again, especially the fourth princess, staring at Xie Ruqing's eyes were about to come out, if the concubine said a good word after tasting it, then who would dare to say that it was not good, even if this porridge was not so good, would Yao Guifei still say it bluntly? Will definitely be polite.
Everyone knows that Yao Guifei will not be easily named, it is likely that the reward has already been selected, and whoever orders it is very likely to be given to whom, in this case, everyone must say that Xie Ruqing's porridge is delicious.
Now that the situation is not very clear, there are not many women in the backyard who can see clearly, most of them still want to be rewarded, so this time, they are more and more jealous of Xie Ruqing, and they can't wait for rat feces in their porridge, and they will be scolded by Yao Guifei.
The fourth princess has a hot temper, and after drawing lots
Running back to his yard in a huff, he discussed with the nurse next to him: "Nurse, is there any way to prevent that fox from wishing for her wishes?" Looking at this situation, the concubine must have wanted to give her something. ”
This nurse is not an honest person, most of the fourth princess's temperament was taught by her, and when she heard this, her eyes rolled, "I have a way." She whispered a few words in the princess's ear.
The fourth princess was taken aback when she heard this, "What did you say?" Chin beans! The mother ...... concubine"
"Shhh......h ”
The fourth princess has always listened to the nurse's words, and when she heard that what she said made sense, even if she agreed, "Then you go and do it, but don't let people see it!" ”
"Don't worry, princess, the palace is our territory, and it's not easy to do something!"
After the nurse finished speaking, she went out to prepare, at this time the girls in the flower hall had just finished drawing lots, each of them handed over the folded name to the palace maid, and the prepared five porridges were also handed over to the palace maid, and their names were pasted respectively, and then the palace maid randomly stuffed the paper with five names written on the lot into different food boxes, which was completed, and the rest was waiting for the results to be produced after tasting.
Naturally, the tasting could not be done in person, so each lady was separated by a screen, and the allocated food boxes would be taken away first, and then distributed according to their names when the ladies were ready.
Those food boxes are placed in a pantry, and they are not allowed to enter or exit, and the nurses of the four princesses have a certain status in the palace, and naturally no one can say anything if they want to go in.
"Mama, you can go in, but you have to hurry." The palace guard said cautiously, "If I am discovered, I will be in trouble." ”
The nurse smiled and gave him some money, "Don't worry, the princess just wants to know who wants to drink her porridge, isn't it good to say hello in advance, I'll go in and come out immediately." ”
"Oops!" The palace people received the money, and they became bolder, "I'll give you the door." ”
The nurse went in to find Xie Ruqing's food box, poured the croton powder prepared in advance, and then turned around at will and left, not long after she left, the old lady in front of Concubine Li also came, giving the same reason, also to show Concubine Li to see who took away her porridge.
The palace people were soft with money, and they could put one and the second one, so they didn't stop it.
Xie Ruqing sat in her position boredly, she just happened to be by the window, and could see the scenery in the flower courtyard, she held her face and watched the palace maids come and go, suddenly, a familiar figure walked over, and suddenly met her gaze, and both sides were stunned for a moment.
Yu Ning looked at the girl sitting in the window, who had just appeared in his mind, and couldn't help but be distracted, as if his soul was frightened, he couldn't move half a step, he looked at it in a daze, his mouth opened slightly, he wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, quite embarrassed.
Xie Ruqing didn't expect Yu Ning to come over, and originally wanted to say hello, but seeing him like this, he didn't know what to say, there were too many people around, she was now Mrs. Qingyang Hou, if she was eye-to-eye with a foreign man, she would be tongue-in-cheek, so she just nodded and looked away.
Qi Wanru next to her happened to call her, "Sister Ruqing, I'm worried that my porridge is not delicious, but what should I do?" ”
This girl couldn't change it into porridge and became a heart disease, she was quite open, and she blamed Shang Shuhua for pouting. Xie Ruqing had no choice but to shake his head to say that it was okay, and wrote the word "peace of mind" on the paper.
Qi Wanru knew that the result couldn't be changed, so he had to nod, "Forget it, just do whatever it is." ”
After a while, the porridge was served, and Xie Ruqing's bowl tasted very good, and when he tasted it, he knew that it was boiled by the chef, so he gave it an excellent rating. After tasting it, it was fine, and she went to the garden with Qi Wanru.
"I hope my porridge can be tasted by the prince." A girl by the garden lake said.
Xie Ruqing took a closer look, it was Lin Yulan, the third girl of the Taifu family, she and Qi Wanru looked at each other and smiled, both understood what she meant, this girl wanted to enter the Prince's East Palace, if she could become a side concubine, she would be a concubine in the future.
Another girl said, "What if you taste it, what if the prince doesn't give you a good grade?" ”
"That's worth it." Lin Yulan looked quite proud, as if it didn't matter if she won or not.
In fact, the reason why she was so sure was that she had engraved a code on the porridge bowl early in the morning, and this code had already been told to the prince, so she didn't worry that the prince would not give her the best grade.
Of course, the premise is that the prince has to drink it.
The girl next to her didn't think so, was it difficult for the prince to marry into the East Palace, and she was also a concubine when she entered, so what was there to be proud of.
"Hey, isn't that Mrs. Qingyang Hou?" Lin Yulan glanced at Xie Ruqing sourly, "I don't know how He De can be, I married a waste and poured it into fragrant dumplings, and the concubine is really, I have to taste her porridge." ”
She deliberately said loudly and was heard by Xie Ruqing, knowing that she couldn't speak and couldn't reply, which was bullying. Qi Wanru was unhappy for Xie Ruqing, and replied: "Miss Lin is also a beautiful girl, how can she be so narrow-minded, why is Qingyang Hou so knowledgeable and talented, why are you going to talk about it?" ”
Lin Yulan snorted, "This waste is not what I called, who in the whole capital doesn't know that he is a waste, how can I not say what others say?" ”
Qi Wanru laughed at her: "Did others say it to their faces, didn't Mrs. Lin teach you not to expose people's shortcomings?" This is the basic upbringing, and you are still the daughter of the Taifu. ”
"You!" Lin Yulan couldn't say it, and glared at her angrily, "Then I'm not like some people, who pretend to be good even more if they don't look down on it, and it's even more hypocritical." ”
Xie Ruqing tugged at Qi Wanru's sleeves and signaled her not to fight for the speed of her words. Then he pulled Qi Wanru towards the pavilion.
Lin Yulan was so angry, "Do you see that they are educated?" ”
The girl next to her fanned the flames: "This is too much to see, but you are the daughter of the Taifu, the two of them...... Oh, the identity of Mrs. Qingyang Hou is not enough, so what qualifications does Qi Wan have to teach you? ”
It's okay not to say this, but the implication is that Mrs. Qingyang Hou is more noble than you Miss Taifu, and you have to look at your face. Lin Yulan was trembling with anger, she just wanted to teach that southern barbarian a lesson!
