Chapter 406
But because Concubine Hui's grandfather and father are heroes, no one can shake her status.
But in private, Concubine Jin Hui always wanted to know who said the phrase "no children in life", but there was no way to find out, she suspected that it was Duan Jiao, the current queen mother, but Duan Jiao gave birth to two princes one after another, and her stomach was angry, which made her even more annoyed.
With the smoke of the cigarette, after a moment of silence in the bead curtain, Yun Yun lifted the bead curtain and helped Concubine Hui to walk out.
"When I arrived, my aunt's heart was uncomfortable, and I was really tired of being a woman." Concubine Jin Hui looked out of the hall, knowing that the emperor would not come tonight, she burned this
Some red sandalwood, bergamot is a waste.
"My aunt has already moved into Chonghua Palace, are you afraid that the emperor will really never come?" Yun Yun said in a low voice.
"Even if you come, don't you go to Fengyi Tower? Just looking at it makes Hongu angry! ”
After saying this, Concubine Jinhui's face darkened, and she thought of Concubine Zhaohua, that woman's natural delicate attitude, I saw pity, and I didn't know how many emperors looked at it.
"Auntie, when Xiaoyun was a child, I heard that aconite and dried ginger can make people heat up, cause coaxing, and flush ...... face."
"What do you want to say?" Concubine Jin Hui felt that Yun Yun's words were a little strange, and when she talked about the emperor, why did she mention some Chinese medicine, but in an instant, she turned her eyes to look at Yun Yun and seemed to understand a little.
"You want Hongu to ......"
"My aunt said that her identity is not the same, she is sick, and everyone in the family comes to visit, can the emperor not come and take a look? Stay for a few days, the emperor will not just ignore it, at least this month's time, my aunt doesn't have to wait. Yun leaned into Concubine Jinhui's ear and whispered.
"It's really my aunt's good niece, why can't I think of it? Speaking of which, how many times are you smarter than Lan Hui? Concubine Jin Hui praised Yun Yun, imagining that if she was sick, it would be a good excuse to see the emperor.
At the mention of Lan Hui, Yun Yun's face changed, and after hesitating for a moment, she still asked.
"Auntie, I heard that Lan Hui died last night?"
"Ask what this does? Isn't it just the death of a palace maid? Falling into the water is not an uncommon thing, who told her not to be careful. ”
Concubine Jinhui's voice was obviously a little displeased, she couldn't imagine that her niece had come to ask about this?
Yun Yun lowered her eyes and stopped talking, now she is more convinced, Lan Hui's death is not so simple, her aunt really does not leave a little life, it seems that she will be careful in the future, even if it is her own aunt, in front of interests, if she says that she will give up, she will give up.
"Auntie, you misunderstood, Yun Yun came here not to ask about this, but to worry...... Could she have left anything in the room? ”
Yun Yun changed her meaning excitedly, and the displeasure on Concubine Hui's face disappeared immediately, and she smiled with praise in her eyebrows and eyes, and held Yun Yun's hand.
"This, my aunt has thought of it a long time ago."
Head of Imperial Food
Concubine Jin Hui smiled proudly and comforted Yun Yun. Love to see the flowers
"You have to remember, you have to help your aunt wholeheartedly, if your aunt succeeds, it won't lose your benefits, the rank of the female official in this palace is not just for you to choose?"
"Yun Yun is here, thank you aunt."
Yun Yun smiled, this smile made her eyes smaller, almost a narrow slit.
"It's not too early, go back, don't let people know that you are my person, so that if something happens, it won't make people suspect my aunt."
"Yes, Auntie."
Yun Yun pursed his mouth and quietly retreated.
Quietly I don't know when Yunyun will come back, when she opened her eyes, it was already bright, she hurriedly got up, when she got out of bed, her feet were a little slippery, she looked down, and found that there were a few drops of candle fire on the ground in front of the bed.
Strange, she didn't seem to have brought the candle to the bed, where did the oil droplets come from?
At this time, Yun Yun's head stretched in, and reminded quietly with a smile.
"Hurry up, you can't be late today."
"Oh, here it is."
Quietly looked away, put on the clothes of the cook, and when she left, she also looked back at the ground, no doubt, when she was asleep last night, someone stood in front of her bed with a candle for a long time, thinking about her heart was chilling for a while, she might die when she slept in the future, otherwise she would be killed, and she didn't know how she died.
When he went out, he quietly raised his eyes and looked at the back of Xiao Yun.
"Guess who I saw yesterday?" Yun Yun stopped, still looking quietly with that smile.
"How do I know?"
Quietly glanced at her, this woman still looked so innocent, it was hard to imagine how long she had been standing by her bedside with a candle last night before leaving oil droplets on the ground.
"Chong Xi Mo!" Yun Yun jumped directly in front of the quiet eyes and said the name loudly.
"Huh?"
Quietly's face turned white all of a sudden, no more surprised than seeing the candle fire oil droplets in front of the bed, Yun Yun actually said this name? It was as if there was a thunderbolt on her head, which made her dizzy.
"He is not only young and promising, but also so handsome, I heard that the emperor values him very much now, do you know...... Although he is far away from me, his extraordinary bearing ......" Yun Yun said, imagining, his face turned red, it seems that this girl's admiration for Chong Ximo is not a little bit old.
"Hehe......"
After quietly admitting that she saw Chong Ximo, she slept for a while, and her mind was already very peaceful, but she still couldn't calm down when she didn't want to mention it again.
Why does the heartbeat happen?
She can't really like people, right?
Shaking her head quietly, I believe that this feeling is definitely not liking, but the awkward relationship that she once had, so that she can't let go, and the encounter on Yuquan Mountain, that guy left a really good impression on her.
"You won't see him too, will you?" Yun Yun felt that his expression was different, so he asked casually.
"I'm just a palace maid, where have I seen it, but I heard you praise me so much, my identity is not ordinary." Smile quietly.
"Chong Yijian's only son, and now he is still the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital, of course he is not ordinary, I heard that the emperor is very important to him, and he himself is also both civil and military." The excitement on Yun Yun's face was still overflowing, and he said it enthusiastically.
"Both civil and military? It's a rarity. ”
Quietly squeezed out such a sentence from between his teeth, secretly annoyed in his heart, he was not a sick man at all, and he was still both civil and military? It seems that there must be some ulterior secret about her marriage with him.
Bastard, he actually cheated on her!
Quietly pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and felt a little resentful of Chong Ximo in her heart, for two years, she was like a little monkey being played, and even her uncle was kept in the dark.
Chong Ximo's father is the biggest official in the Tai Hospital, and his son Chong Ximo has also recently been promoted to deputy envoy, why is his uncle so unlucky, he has a disaster, and his head falls to the ground?
In her ears, she still praised Chong Ximo by Yunyun, what calm, calm, sharp eyes, man's true colors, etc., it seems that she is fascinated by this man.
Quietly wanted to calm down his mind, but he walked all the way to Mao Daqiu's case, still panicking
, all that is messed up in my mind is Chong Ximo's name, and I can't wave it.
The jade rubbed the ground over and over again under her feet, left and right, deliberately circling around her, which made people upset, but this annoyance also had a benefit, and gradually attracted the quiet thoughts, and the woman chattered, but she couldn't hear what she was saying?
"If you rub it here, you'll lose your skin." Quietly reminded of the jadeite.
"Vixen!"
Jade held the rag, pursed her lips, glanced at the big ball of hair that was walking in from outside, and quickly looked away, her face a little red.
Although this expression was fleeting, it was still quietly looked at, no wonder Jade didn't like her like this, either scolding her for being a fox, or a fox spirit, it turned out to be because of the big ball?
"Are you all right?" The voice of the hairy ball came.
"Much better."
Quietly showing a mouthful of small white teeth, she laughed awkwardly, and Jade took the rag and left with her head down.
"I'll see." The big hairy ball reached over.
"No, it couldn't be better."
Quietly hid his hand, knowing that if he wanted to climb up and become an imperial chef, Mao Daqiu couldn't offend this person, at least in the outer imperial dining room, he was her support point.
But this guy took advantage of her, which was a little unacceptable, and she had to be careful everywhere, just when she was thinking, Mao Daqiu approached and quietly deliberately bowed her waist, making him pounce.
The fat on Mao Daqiu's face trembled a few times, and he couldn't get angry if he wanted to, so he could only walk back to the stove and prepare.
At this time, outside the door of the imperial dining room, Father-in-law Ping walked in. Behind him was a middle-aged female officer in gorgeous costumes.
As soon as the middle-aged female official walked in, all the people in the imperial dining room stopped being busy, stood respectfully, hung their heads and stood quietly one by one, not daring to speak, even the big ball of hair stood honestly and waited.
I don't know the identity of such a woman, but looking at the clothes, they are all high-quality silk, and the jade pendant with a knot tied around her waist is also a rare thing, and it should be a not simple character in the palace.
Father-in-law Ping came in with a woman, and then stepped aside, looking very humble and humble.
The middle-aged woman stepped forward, looked around with a sharp gaze, and said solemnly.
"The old people here must all know me, but there are a lot of newcomers, I am Xue Wanyue, the head of Shangshi in the palace."
The director of Shangshi is a female official in the palace, ranking second among female officials, responsible for the dining arrangements of the emperor and the queen, how did a female official with such a high position come to the outer imperial dining room?
Meals are delivered at the hospital
Quietly raised her eyes and looked at this Shangshi female official, she was only about thirty years old, her face was like a field, willow eyebrows, and big eyes, this was a blessing, seeing so many people respectful to her, she quietly thought in her heart, if she could climb to this position, I don't know if Li Zhaoyi would dare to kill her again?
The answer is definitely not dare, the people around the emperor and the queen, it is too late for Zhaoyi to please her. Love to see the flowers
Just when she quietly watched this lady of Shangshi's distraction, the woman's gaze was sharply projected, it seemed that none of the slaves and maids in the imperial dining room, the cook, dared to look at her like this, obviously, this palace maid in kitchen clothes was very bold.
The eyes of the female officer of Shangshi narrowed slightly, and she did not take her eyes off her quiet cheeks.
Chu Xin panicked, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to raise his eyes to look at this woman anymore, but the female official Shangshi stopped talking, walked over step by step, and finally stopped moving at a distance of five or six meters.
I heard the voice quietly, and I knew that she was coming, and she was so nervous that she didn't dare to gasp, the female official Shangshi wouldn't punish her for her presumptuous look just now, right?
"What's your name?" The female officer of Shangshi suddenly asked.
Who? Who is she asking?
Quietly raised her eyes in a panic, and found that the female official Shangshi was looking at her, and Ping's father-in-law was rushing behind and quietly squeezing his eyes, not knowing what he was hinting at? Finally, he pointed to the ground, which meant that he quickly knelt down.
Quietly I don't know what happened to me, my legs were beaten on the board, but I still stood there and replied.
"Slave Li Chunxiang."
"Li Chunxiang? Hmmm......"
The lady of Shangshi regained the name, not only did not get angry, but on the contrary, nodded her head very approvingly, and then she turned around and looked at the people with their heads bowed and said loudly.
"All of you, follow her example, raise your head and look at me, I am not here to ask for sin, nor to punish anyone, but there is something to tell you." After a sentence, everyone raised their heads and did not dare to bow their heads again.
Hearing this, she almost fell to the ground quietly, she was almost frightened and collapsed, the pride in her bones was really not the right time, even Father-in-law Ping wiped the sweat with his sleeve, it seems that he also pinched a handful of sweat for quietly.
After the female official Shangshi stood up, a steady voice sounded again.
"Seven days later, the envoys from the steppes of the Great Mongolian Kingdom will arrive in Kyoto, where they will be entertained, this time accompanied by the envoys' family members and the head of the inner house. As the head of Shangshi in the palace, I don't want our imperial food to lose its color in front of the Mongolian envoys this time, the meaning of the queen mother, to carry out the innovation of the dishes, not only to add the style of our imperial cuisine, but also to take into account the taste of Mongolian food, you chefs who are responsible for the minister's envoy meals, all work hard, this time the imperial chef of the imperial dining room will also participate, everyone work together to do this well. ”
"Yes!"
The entire people in the outer dining room answered, this time neatly, and then it fell silent again, and the director of Shangshi quickly continued.
"Father-in-law Ping, these days have also given these people in the dining room a little freedom, so that they don't have death row prisoners here, there is no new vision at all, and the current meal is much inferior to when the emperor was there."
"Xueyi understands that if they have a request, Xueyi will arrange it." Father-in-law Ping nodded repeatedly.
After the director of Shangshi left, everyone let out a long breath, some happy and some worried.
Happy is those chef-level characters, for them this is a wonderful opportunity to improve, if they can come up with any good dishes, one or two levels up, it is easy, worry about those cooks and kitchen servants, every time there is such a thing, they are tired like dead dogs, when the time comes, the good things are not for the chefs to take over.
Soon the imperial dining room was quiet again, and Father-in-law Ping walked in front of the whisper and whispered.
"Be careful next time, this Shangshi supervisor is usually very tolerant, if you change people, you will have to be beaten again today."
"I see."
Nodding quietly, he returned to the case and honestly chopped the vegetables.
"This time, everyone must be a little more energetic, study the imperial food of the two countries, what is needed, just say it, seven days is not a long time, don't let the imperial chefs underestimate you."
"Yes, Father-in-law."
All the chefs answered, and Mao Daqiu also looked confident, and the brows of the father-in-law were tightly locked, although the level of the outer imperial dining room was not as good as the inner imperial dining room, but
He is big-hearted and doesn't want to lose to Grandpa Lan, after all, this is a matter of the outer imperial dining room.
After quietly cutting the dishes for a while, seeing that it was time to deliver food at noon, she was a little uneasy, and glanced at it secretly, as if the palace maid Liu hadn't come yet, wouldn't she let her deliver food to the hospital again this time?
Thinking about Chong Ximo, he was inexplicably nervous, and even a little afraid.
Just as she put down the kitchen knife and tried to find a place to hide, a food box was delivered to her.
"Too hospital to deliver meals."
"Why me again?" Quietly frowned.
"Gongnu Liu didn't come, but it's you again, weren't you quite happy yesterday?" The little eunuch asked curiously.
"Yesterday is yesterday, today is today, can I not send it?"
Quietly asked tentatively, the little eunuch's face immediately turned cold, and he reprimanded and whispered, "Don't think that Lord Chong will carry it for you, you will be fine, you knocked over the lunch box yesterday, and you dare to ......"
"Okay, okay, I'll go, can't I go?"
Quietly I was really afraid that this matter would make a big fuss, so I quickly took the food box, and the little eunuch's face immediately eased a lot, and warned in a low voice.
"You are also considered a good fate, bring food to Lord Chong, if it were anyone else, you would have your head cut off a long time ago!"
The little eunuch made a head-killing action, quietly trembling with fright, and gave the little eunuch a fierce look, she said, what did this guy scare her to do, didn't it just knock over a food box, it wouldn't be so serious as killing her head, right?
However, this palace depends on the emperor, Niangniang, and the minds of adults, if people are narrow-minded just now, they will be killed.
Like last time, she quietly walked behind the two little eunuchs with a meal, and she thought as she walked, maybe this time she sent another adult's meal, Chong Ximo wouldn't always stay in the imperial pharmacy, right? It wasn't his home.
"Li Chunxiang, this meal box is for the lifting division." The little eunuch in front reminded quietly.
"Lifting Division?"
It was all the lifting division, and he almost laughed out loud quietly, he was so nervous all the way in vain, why didn't he say it earlier, it seems that he doesn't need to see chong ximo today.
People who can't be avoided
Avoiding Chong Ximo, there was less of that embarrassing thought, and the quiet mood was much more relaxed, she entered the door of the lifting division with the lunch box, and found that it was also very quiet, and there were no people moving around. Love to see the flowers
