Chapter 469: Summoning
The back position has been vacant, Xiao Guifei is the actual hostess of the harem, and the newly selected seventy-seven forty-nine noble girls are going to Yuhua Palace to visit.
Looking at these flowery girls, Xiao Guifei looked cold and lazily sent people away.
Some of the noble ladies who left Yuhua Palace were relieved, and some were angry.
They also grew up in the palm of their hands at home, but Xiao Guifei looked at them with eyes like looking at a cat and a dog, how could it be comfortable.
Among them, the noble girl surnamed Li, who was named An Concubine, was the most dissatisfied.
Concubine An is the girl of the Li family of the descendant family, and Queen Li, who has died of illness for many years, is her sister, so she was able to be named a concubine as soon as she entered the palace.
In her opinion, Xiao Guifei is purely a tiger monkey in the mountains and a king. If the clan sisters are still there, how can Xiao Guifei be so proud, looking at them is like looking at ants.
Thinking about the decline of the clan and the scenery of Xiao Guifei after these years, Concubine An is uneasy.
She has beauty, talent, and background.
Compared to Concubine Xiao, what she owes is just an opportunity, and now she will enter the palace to get the scenery back for the Li family.
In Yuhua Palace, Concubine Xiao Guifei was lying on the beauty couch and asked Tao Hong casually: "That An Concubine, is it the girl of the Li family of the descendant family?" ”
Peach said busily: "Exactly." ”
Xiao Guifei hooked her lips and smiled: "I look at him as a spiritual person, it's a bit like when I first entered the palace." ”
Taohong smiled: "A little concubine, how can she compare with you." ”
Concubine Xiao Guifei restrained her smile and said lightly: "What you said is wrong, when this palace first entered the palace, it was just a small waiter, and it was still far from the concubine." ”
Taohong pursed her lips and smiled: "But her title is An, the emperor must want her to live in peace, don't make the mother unhappy." ”
Xiao Guifei was obviously pleased by these words, and stroked her bulging abdomen and chuckled.
Everyone knows the purpose of the emperor to fill the harem, and when it comes to this concubine, it is because of her.
She became pregnant, which gave hope to the emperor, and then gave hope to those families who were camping.
Angry? Not really.
She had figured out before that no matter how much pampering she had, it was rootless duckweed, and men would change at any time for the sake of profit. In the final analysis, the child in her womb is the biggest reliance.
And these people who had the idea didn't know how she came to be this child.
Thinking of this, Concubine Xiao Guifei straightened her face, and said lightly: "This palace wants to eat called flower chicken, let Mama Dou go and tell Miss Luo, this palace is pregnant and it is inconvenient to eat the food brought in from outside, please invite her cook into the palace." ”
Mama Dou took the order and left.
The snow stopped, and the pavement of Qingxing Street was swept out, revealing wet bluestone slabs, and the snow piled up on both sides of the road was knee-high.
This winter seems to have been unusually snowy.
A small sedan chair with a blue curtain stopped not far away, and Mama Dou walked into a wine shop.
When the female shopkeeper saw Mama Dou coming in, she hurriedly greeted her: "You are here, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up." ”
Mama Dou took off her heavy coat and handed it to the little palace maid who came with her, and asked, "Is Miss Luo there?" ”
The female shopkeeper handed a cup of wolfberry and red date tea to Mama Dou, and said with a smile: "It's morning now, and the owner hasn't come yet." “
"What about Aunt Xiu?"
"Xiugu didn't come either."
Mama Dou took a sip of tea, and the slightly sweet tea made her sigh comfortably: "Please also send someone to Luo's Mansion to say that the concubine Niangniang summoned Xiu Gu into the palace to cook." ”
"Then wait a minute." The female shopkeeper walked to the back and called the strong man to deliver the message.
"Concubine Xiao Guifei summoned Aunt Xiu into the palace to cook?" After receiving the news, Luo Sheng frowned slightly, and had a bad premonition.
It has almost become a practice for Yuhua Palace to send people to get flower chickens every month, and only once did she take the initiative to summon Xiuyue into the palace, that is, the time when she hinted at "early birth of a noble son" with pastries.
Xiao Guifei summoned Xiuyue into the palace this time just after the end of the concubine selection, so she couldn't help but think about it too much.
It's certain to ask Xiuyue to enter the palace and beat it, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as beating......
I hope that she will spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Be cautious when you enter the palace." Luo Sheng told Xiuyue in the right color.
Xiuyue nodded: "Don't worry, girl, the maid knows." ”
The master and servant rushed to a wine shop, and Mama Dou's wolfberry and red date tea had already drunk the third cup.
"Miss Luo is here." As soon as she saw Luo Sheng, Mama Dou showed a kind smile.
Once a month, I go out of the palace to let off steam, eat and drink well in the wine shop, and even a natural cold face will have a smile, not to mention that Mama Dou's cold face is not born, it is the identity of the old mother in the palace that has to be brought out.
Luo Sheng pointed at Xiuyue and said: "Aunt Xiu can only do things and can't speak, and after entering the palace, I will ask Mama Dou to take care of her." ”
Mama Dou, who received a piece of gold, smiled and said, "Miss Luo, don't worry, our mother likes Xiugu's craftsmanship very much." ”
Seeing Xiuyue leave with Mama Dou, Luo Sheng thought about it and got busy in the kitchen.
In the Yuhua Palace, Concubine Xiao Guifei, who was pretending to be asleep, opened her eyes when she heard the report: "Bring people in." ”
After a while, Xiuyue came to Xiao Guifei and curtsied.
Xiao Guifei nodded slightly, and her tone was gentle: "No need to be polite." Pink, take Xiu Gu to the dining room. ”
The ingredients used in the dining room to call the flower chicken have been prepared, and Xiuyue is skilled in cooking, so she didn't let Xiao Guifei wait too long to present the finished flower chicken.
The palace maid took the chicken called Hua, cracked open the mud shell and peeled off the lotus leaves, and served the chicken on a plate to Concubine Xiao.
Taohong stepped forward to take it, and after tasting it, she handed a pair of silver chopsticks to Xiao Guifei.
Xiao Guifei picked up the golden roasted chicken and took a bite, which was tender and crispy, and the fragrance was attractive.
