Chapter 104: Dealing with the Queen Mother

Helian Hongyi smiled at the corner of his mouth, let the ministers enter and wait, and opened Gu Banqin's letter as he walked and read it from beginning to end, the smile on the corner of his mouth changed from an expectant smile to a sneer.

I thought that the mallet suddenly opened up, and I didn't see the letter sent for a few days, it would be some kind of lovesickness or something, but

'Your Majesty, when will you give me the bundle of cane you promised me?' ’

Because Gu Banqin was a letter written by the palace concubine to Helian Hongyi, Helian Hongyi also replied to Gu Banqin with an official handwritten letter.

Gu Banqin asked in the excerpt to set up a small kitchen next door to Fanghua Palace, and asked Helian Hongyi for a bundle of cane, and it was not until the next day that Helian Hongyi's handwritten letter was sent to Gu Banqin.

The handbook contains two edicts, both addressed to the Inner Court.

The head of the Inner Court Division received the emperor's edict tremblingly, and the next day he finished the matter for Gu Banqin, and a small kitchen was set up in Fanghua Palace.

The Queen Mother of Cining Palace also learned the news, and slapped the table angrily, Xie Zhaoyi and Fang Liangyuan were both waiting beside them, and were taken aback by the Queen Mother's shot.

"Hmph, she clearly wants to do it against me. How daring! The Empress Dowager commented on Gu Banqin's demonstrative move.

Xie Zhaoyi hated Gu Banqin to the core, and when she heard the Queen Mother say this, where is there a reason not to agree:

"That's right, Gu Jieyu doesn't take the Queen Mother in her eyes too much, the kind of trivial thing she said is actually worth mentioning to the emperor, isn't it just relying on pampering, pampering and pride? The Queen Mother must not spare her easily. ”

If it was in the past, the Queen Mother would definitely have to say that Xie Zhaoyi was making a big fuss, but now, her mind has already changed.

In the past, she was tolerant of Gu Banqin, firstly because she wanted to rely on her to win the emperor's heart, and secondly, because she was honest and unambitious, but the Queen Mother didn't expect that Gu Banqin was a weasel wearing a fox skin.

On the surface, Mu Ne is stupid, but in fact she is extremely cunning, and she actually succeeded in letting the emperor take her to Jinbao Temple to pray for blessings.

"Gu Jieyu just asked for a small kitchen, and it's not as serious as Xie Zhaoyi said."

Fang Liangyuan also said a fair word, it is not uncommon for a small kitchen to be set up in the palace of the concubine.

Concubine De, Concubine Shu, Xie Zhaoyi, including her own palace, Gu Jieyu just didn't bring it up at the beginning, if she had brought it up at the beginning, then there would be no today.

The Queen Mother is standing on the same line with Xie Zhaoyi at the moment, and the other party Liangyuan hates iron and steel:

"How do you talk, kid? Xie Zhaoyi is reasonable, and the mourning family also feels that Gu Jieyu has been too arrogant recently, as if she doesn't take the mourning family in her eyes. With her kind of background, she actually dared to be presumptuous in front of the mourning family, which was simply an ambitious leopard. ”

Even if Fang Liangyuan had the heart to speak for Gu Banqin, she didn't dare to do it against the Queen Mother, she dared to refute Xie Zhaoyi's words, but now that the Queen Mother had also spoken, Fang Liangyuan decisively shut up.

Xie Zhaoyi knew that the Queen Mother loved Fang Liangyuan and had the heart to befriend her, so she spoke for her:

"Fang Liangyuan is young, where can she see the methods of those foxes, the Queen Mother doesn't blame her, she will definitely understand if she has more contact in the future. It's just that now that Gu Banqin, such a laborious and moving crowd to make such a move, is the Queen Mother like this? ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Xie Zhaoyi, who was wholeheartedly telling Gu Banqin, and snorted coldly:

"What about her labor? It's just a cautious trick and a small trick, and the mourning family will still be afraid of her? What about setting up a small kitchen, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the mourning family wants to see what flowers she can make in her small kitchen empty-handed. ”

Does Gu Banqin think that she, the queen mother, is vain?

If she tosses some movement casually, will the mourning family rush to embarrass her?

The Queen Mother believes that as long as she does something to Gu Banqin, then Gu Banqin will definitely let the emperor come forward with this, she is just using her own way to give back to him.

The Queen Mother waited for Gu Banqin to take the initiative to complain, and then provoked an incident, Gu Banqin will make a plan and make a false move, if the Queen Mother can't hold her breath, then the initiative will return to Gu Banqin's hands.

The Queen Mother saw through the fox's scheming at a glance, and secretly sneered in her heart.

As soon as the Queen Mother said this, Xie Zhaoyi and Fang Liangyuan roughly understood the Queen Mother's coping strategy, and they didn't dare to say more.

On the other hand, the execution of the edict of the Inner Court Division to Helian Hongyi is still quite powerful, in fact, each palace in the palace, at the beginning of its establishment, opened up an independent small kitchen.

It's just that according to the rank and requirements of the concubines, they choose to set up or not, so after Gu Banqin asked for a handwriting, the Inner Court Division cleaned up the small kitchen for her within a day.

Liu Wu followed Gu Banqin around the well-equipped kitchen, but there were no ingredients, and asked Gu Banqin:

"Mother, we don't have anything, what's the use of a small kitchen?"

Jia Jinlu hesitated for a moment and said, "Niangniang, why don't I go to my fellow in the imperial dining room and ask him to get us some firewood, rice, oil, salt or something." ”

Gu Banqin shook her head, didn't mind, and looked at it in the small kitchen for a long time before she hooked her lips and said:

"No need to find someone! There will be something, but first there has to be something to do, right? From tomorrow onwards, Liu Fu and Zhang Yuzhu will go to the imperial dining room every day to guard, and let them send some things like firewood, rice, oil and salt first, if they say that all the firewood, rice, oil and salt have also been moved to Cining Palace, then forget it. ”

"If you don't move all over, just say I must, and they don't dare to blatantly deduct it, how can they send some over, and the rest of the things will be done, and everything will be asked, what is there, if they say that they have all used it up, divided it, and there is no stock in the imperial dining room, then go to the Inner Court Division to theoretically, there is no inventory in the imperial dining room, what else do they do?"

The Queen Mother wanted to fundamentally curb Gu Banqin's livelihood problem, but Gu Banqin really didn't take it to heart, she never asked for much, and things could be imported as soon as they could be imported.

Those delicate dishes with big fish and meat, although delicious, are not necessities for Gu Banqin, and what the Queen Mother can deduct is just those things.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, these basic things, she has no reason not to give them, in the final analysis, the Queen Mother just wants to teach Gu Banqin a lesson, and she doesn't dare to really ask for Gu Banqin's life, at most, the diaphragm should respond to her.

The last thing Gu Banqin is afraid of is diaphragm.

The Queen Mother wanted to use this method to force people to jump, but it was obvious that she had chosen the wrong person.

The days of being isolated in the harem were not as difficult as the outside world imagined, and Liu Wu had never thanked his mother for her foresight as much as she does now.

When building flower beds in other palaces and planting those precious flowers and plants, their own mothers made Fanghua Palace into a small courtyard of a farmhouse, but it was also this small courtyard of the farmhouse that gave them a difficult time for the people of the entire Fanghua Palace.

The emperor has not been in the harem for almost a month, and it is said that there was a water riot in Lianghuai, and the emperor has been discussing the response in the cabinet these days.

Gu Banqin is not arrogant or impatient, and can always find things to do by herself.

Gu Banqin studied and ate in the small kitchen every day, and Zhang Yuzhu and Jia Jinlu did nothing else every day, and specially used tools made by Gu Banqin to squeeze sugarcane juice for Gu Banqin.

In order to make his favorite sugar, Gu Banqin tossed several times and failed, but Gu Banqin didn't want to give up, and from the fifth time, he gradually found the trick, and after more than ten days of hard work, he finally succeeded in making sugar.

Although it was only a little bit, it was enough to surprise everyone in Fanghua Palace, Liu Wu carefully pinched something as white as snow with her fingers and sent it to her mouth, the fresh sweetness made her eyes shine, and she was reluctant to open her mouth to speak, nodded to Gu Banqin, and praised it with her actions.

Zhang Yuzhu and Jia Jinlu saw that the catkins were so exaggerated, and they saw Gu Banqin, and Gu Banqin also sent it to them, and asked them to pinch some and put it in their mouths, and the performance of the two was the same as that of the catkins.

Gu Banqin looked at them and knew that she had succeeded for the most part.

Gu Banqin also tasted some of it herself, and her feeling was not much different from modern times.

After Gu Banqin successfully made sugar syrup, Fanghua Palace's weakness seemed to be slowly decreasing.
