Chapter 305: Is there a choice for the concubine?
Bai Qianfan is a sensible child, since it is her mother-in-law's birthday, of course she, who is a daughter-in-law, has to cheer up, and when she heard Concubine Rui's instructions, she hurriedly went to the kitchen.
Concubine Rui's kitchen is not small, and it is very busy, and from time to time someone shouts loudly: "Hurry up, put your hands and feet sharper, today is the birthday of the concubine, don't give our family a leak!" ”
Bai Qianfan raised his eyes and looked over, it was Yang Deguang, the head of the kitchen, who spoke, I don't know if the slave was too dedicated, nodding his head every day, and bending his back. Everyone called him "Yang Huozi" behind their backs. ”
When Yang Deguang saw Bai Qianfan, he immediately shouted in a long voice, "Ouch, why did the princess come here, you came here, I didn't let you go." ”
Whenever she met someone who was too polite to her, Bai Qianfan felt a little uncomfortable, and owed herself, "The concubine asked me to come over and take a look, how are you preparing?" ”
"Don't worry, there are minions staring, and you can't miss today's birthday banquet."
Bai Qianfan glanced at the busy kitchen, rubbed his hands and said, "Manager Yang, what do you think I can help with?" ”
"Ouch, how can you let the princess do it," Yang Deguang led her into the ear room on the side, "You rest here for a while, the servant will serve you tea, and you will go back after drinking tea." ”
Bai Qianfan finally got out of Mama Kong's sight, of course she didn't want to go back so quickly, and said, "You are busy with you, don't worry about me, I'll leave after a while." ”
Just when someone came to ask Yang Deguang, Bai Qianfan took the opportunity to walk away, turned around and got into the kitchen, the kitchen is really big enough, a row of past is full of big stoves, the big iron pot is stir-frying dishes, smoky, on the other side is the steaming drawer, the water in the pot is boiling gurgling, and the steaming drawer on the top is white mist, making it look like a fairyland.
Bai Qianfan likes the smell of fireworks, and she feels comfortable here. The people in the kitchen were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, and the emperor was going to come to eat today, and he couldn't be sloppy at all, just caring about the work in his hands, plus Bai Qianfan was small, and there was smoke in the room, and no one noticed her.
Bai Qianfan rolled up her sleeves and did things when she was in Bai Xiang's Mansion, she secretly went to the kitchen at night to steam steamed buns for herself, and beat Hongqi in Chu Wangfu, and things in the kitchen were difficult for her.
Helping to add firewood, take plates, and serve dishes, her little figure turned around continuously, sweating on her forehead, but her heart was full and happy.
Yang Deguang looked around outside, but didn't find Bai Qianfan, and finally found the kitchen, and saw Bai Qianfan working hard, his heart jumped to his throat with fright, and a sharp voice was raised, "Ouch, my princess, why did you do it?" He glared at the people below and scolded: "Which one of those who doesn't have long eyes dares to let the princess do things?" Don't you want to live anymore? ”
The cooks who were busy were yelled at by him, only to know that it was a princess who was scurrying around beside her, and someone had seen her before, but they didn't recognize her, only that she didn't dress like a slave, thinking that it was some relative outside the palace of Concubine Rui to help, and she didn't go to her heart, and now she said that she was a princess, she must be the princess of Chu, when she thought of the prince of Chu's terrible face, everyone was frightened, and tried to remember if they had asked her to do something?
Bai Qianfan made a big face and waved his hand hurriedly, "It's okay, I didn't do anything." Don't make a fuss. ”
Since he was looking for it, Yang Deguang didn't dare to let her stay in the kitchen anymore, so he hurriedly lured her out and made a long bow at her: "My good princess, don't go in again, if you let the concubine and the prince know, the slave's life will be lost." ”
Bai Qianfan sneered, "Don't be afraid, it's not that serious." ”
Yang Deguang didn't give up when he heard her tone, and knelt on the ground again: "Even if you are a slave, please ...... it."
Bai Qianfan hurriedly pulled him up, "Okay, okay, I won't go in, and I won't tell the prince and the concubine, so take care of it." ”
didn't let her into the kitchen, it was boring for her to stay here, and after a few gossips with Yang Deguang, she went home.
When she returned to the palace, she was startled, there were many people, the emperor, the empress, the white concubine, and a few others she didn't recognize, she glanced at it hurriedly, and her gaze stayed on a person's face - Murong Mian finally appeared.
She was overjoyed, and was about to pass, Mama Kong coughed on the side, she suddenly came to her senses, stepped forward to greet the emperor and queen, and asked Bai Guifei hello, and several other concubines, Mama Kong also introduced them to her one by one, it was Concubine De of Guangxian Palace, Concubine Xian of Zhaoyang Palace and Concubine Shu of Yuan Shu Palace.
The four concubines and the emperor and queen are all here, and it should be said that the highest status in the palace has arrived. Each of them is dressed in gorgeous clothes, beads and jade, and the extravagance is compelling, Bai Qianfan is inevitably a little uncomfortable standing in front of them.
Concubine Rui kindly stretched out her hand to her: "The princess is coming to the mourning family." ”
Everyone couldn't brush the concubine's face, so Bai Qianfan had to go over and sit down next to her.
The queen quipped, "At the end of the day, she is her own daughter-in-law, and the concubine really treats her differently." ”
"That's natural," Concubine Rui said with a smile: "She's young, and the mourning family naturally hurts a little more, so don't eat it." ”
Bai Guifei covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister Qianfan is so blessed, she has the best mother-in-law in the world." She looked at Bai Qianfan, and the light in her eyes flickered, "The concubine loves you so much, my sister has to work harder and spread the branches for the prince earlier." ”
Bai Qianfan: "Hehehe, I'm still young, this matter can't be rushed." ”
Bai Guifei said: "Yes, my sister is still young, her body has not grown yet, and it is not impossible to be a year and a half late, but fortunately, there are still two princesses in the house," Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly remember, "Ah, I forgot, I broke one, and there is only one left." ”
Concubine Rui glanced at Murong Mian quickly, they said so much, he kept sitting there silent, just drinking tea, and couldn't see any expression.
She smiled, "The mourning family is also worried about this matter, thinking that it would be good to make up for this lack for our prince a year ago." ”
"That's a good dare," Concubine De asked very enthusiastically, "Is there a candidate for the concubine?" ”
Concubine Rui glanced at Murong Mian again, and saw that he still didn't say anything, so she said: "The mourning family chooses people for the prince, and they don't pick any disciples' appearance, as long as he likes it." There is one candidate, here in the mourning family, the princess likes it very much, as a sister, and when she enters the house in the future, the relationship can also get along well. ”
Concubine De liked to join in the fun the most, so she said, "While there are all the people, you might as well call it out for everyone to see, and it is easy to recognize people." ”
Every step Concubine Rui takes, she has to look at Murong Mian's face, but this son has always been secretive, and he has reached this point, he still doesn't say a word, she is happy in her heart, could it be that he agreed?
When Feng Ruying was brought up, everyone was a little surprised, isn't this the second princess of Chu? is the same petite figure, with a small face and big eyes, and when he looks at people, he has a stupid spirit that can't be hidden.
At this time, they understood what Concubine Rui said, if you don't pick the appearance of your disciples, the prince of Chu likes it, Feng Ruying and the princess have the same paragraph, and the prince of Chu naturally likes it.
