[052] two watches
Yu Wan always knew that the reputation of the Drunken Immortal Residence had been hit, but she didn't know that she had already hit the palace.
For Yu Wan, the palace is almost a legendary existence, can she really enter the palace to cook for those royal concubines?
"Stinky tofu, it's still the best you make, and what others fry is not as stinky as yours!" Qin Ye said very fairly.
Yu Wan glanced at him lightly: "I thank you......"
Qin Ye smiled: "Tianxianglou is so powerful, I haven't even cooked in the palace, and if I go back and publicize this matter, our business can go to the next level!" ”
Yes, Tianxianglou was opened by Concubine Xu Xian's brother, and its cooks didn't enter the palace, so why did it take the turn of a newly up-and-coming drunken immortal residence?
Yu Wan always felt that pie fell from the sky, which was a bit unreal.
"Master Qin, do you know which lady wants to eat the dishes of our Drunken Immortal Residence?" Yu Wan asked.
Qin Ye squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "You guess? ”
Yu Wan smiled: "I can't guess, you can just say it." ”
Qin Ye straightened his waist and said, "Concubine Xu Xian!" ”
Concubine Xu Xian? Isn't that the biological mother of the second prince? Is she going to eat the dishes of Drunken Immortal Residence?
Yesterday, she just rejected the second prince's "courtship", and today, Concubine Xu Xian announced that the chef of the drunken Xianju had entered the palace, would it be a coincidence?
"Did Concubine Xian Niangniang indicate that I should go?" Yu Wan said.
"What? Aren't you happy? The pay is very good! This number! Qin Ye gestured, "And the nobles in the palace are not bad for money, they are happy to eat, and as soon as you give a reward, the money you built the house will be gone." ”
This is the truth, Yu Wan understands that Qin Ye really thinks it is beneficial to call her.
"Well, as soon as you asked, I said that I still wanted to sell you personal favors." Qin Ye touched his nose stupidly.
It turned out that it was indeed Concubine Xu Xian's palace people who "specified" that Yu Wan went, when the palace people ate a bowl of stinky tofu in the Drunken Immortal Residence, and asked Qin Ye who invented this practice, Qin Ye said that he was the second master of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and the palace people told Qin Ye that she would let her enter the palace to cook for her mother.
In Qin Ye's opinion, this is a matter of course, stinky tofu was invented by Yu Wan, so her craftsmanship is set above the masters, and if she is not asked to go to the palace, is it still reasonable?
But all this fell in Yu Wan's eyes, as if it wasn't like that.
Concubine Xu Xian announced that she would enter the palace to cook at this juncture, and the timing was too delicate.
However, the "Yi Decree" has already been issued, and if she does not go, it will be "disrespectful to the Decree".
Yu Wan measured it in her heart, and said to Qin Ye: "Okay, I'll change my clothes and enter the palace with you." ”
In order to avoid the family's worries, Yu Wan didn't say anything about the second prince, nor did she find out that it was Concubine Xu Xian's summons, but said that Drunken Xianju took over a business in the palace, and she went back as soon as she went.
On the way to the palace, Yu Wan asked Qin Ye about this powerful harem Concubine Xu Xian, Qin Yequan was not curious why she asked, after all, they were going to cook for Concubine Xu Xian, and it was particularly important to find out the preferences of this lady.
"Speaking of this mother...... "Qin Ye told Yu Wan what he knew.
After listening to this, Yu Wan couldn't help but sigh that the history of this mother's fortune is simply an ancient version of the grassroots counterattack.
Concubine Xu Xian was born in a businessman, and the Xu family at that time was not the Xu family today, and she was barely a third-rate wealthy businessman in Xuzhou.
Speaking of which, it was also that the quota of Xuzhou Show Girls in that session was not filled, so the Xu family picked up a leak.
The status of the businessman in the Great Zhou is very low, so Concubine Xu Xian has also become the last show girl in the team, her appearance is quite outstanding, but the harem beauties are like clouds, and the most important thing is a beautiful woman.
"It's luck that she can get into His Majesty's eyes." On the carriage, Qin Ye continued, "At that time, Queen Ma had just conceived the eldest prince, and it was inconvenient to serve Your Majesty anymore, so she picked a few lovely ones from the show girls and put them in her palace. ”
"Concubine Xu Xian is one of those show girls?" Yu Wan asked.
Qin Ye smiled and shook his head: "Fei Ye, there was a concubine at that time, who was very favored by His Majesty, and the show girls couldn't compare to her." But soon, Concubine Li was also pregnant with a dragon son. ”
Yu Wan paused: "Wait, isn't the second prince from Concubine Xu Xian?" How could it be the dragon son that Concubine Li conceived first? ”
Qin Ye said: "The child was not born. ”
Yu Wan had heard some things about the prince from Bai Tang's mouth, and knew that the eldest prince was five years older than the second prince, and Concubine Li was pregnant in the same year as Queen Ma, that is to say, in the next five years, no prince was born in the palace until ...... Concubine Xu Xian gave birth to Yan Huaijing.
Yu Wan thought about this, and the cold was born from the feet.
Qin Ye continued: "After Concubine Li knew that she was pregnant, she followed Queen Ma and also found a few young and beautiful show girls. ”
"Concubine Xu Xian was picked by Concubine Li?" Yu Wan asked.
Qin Ye shook his head again.
All the show girls enter the palace, how much will be co-opted by the concubines in the upper position, this is not only a means to compete for favor, but also the capital to settle down, although the wrong backstage dies quickly, but there is no backstage to die faster, Concubine Xu Xian is one of the few latter.
"At that point, she just said yes." Qin Ye said.
No one is optimistic about a lone Xu promise, her green head card will never be sent to the emperor, and it is no surprise that she will die of old age in the palace for the rest of her life.
"But guess what she did?" Qin Ye asked with interest.
"Do what?" Yu Wan asked.
Qin Ye seemed to think of something funny: "She planted vegetables in the harem." ”
Yu Wan was surprised.
Qin Ye said: "One day, Your Majesty ate a very delicious cabbage, and asked which imperial chef made it, and there was a lot of reward, but the imperial chef said that it was not his good cooking skills, but the good ingredients that Xu promised to plant." ”
The emperor went to Xu Promise's residence, which was a desolate old palace, and Xu promised to pull up his sleeves and take a hoe to cultivate in the fields in the backyard, and that way, into the emperor's eyes.
When the emperor was young, he lived in the cold palace for many years, and he often couldn't eat enough, so the queen mother planted vegetables for the young emperor and the young Yan Wang.
It was the experience that the emperor wanted to look back on the most, no one dared to touch it, but Xu promised to risk being killed, and dared to force the emperor to recall the bits and pieces of the cold palace.
Concubine Xu Xian is a merchant's daughter, not a village girl in the countryside, how can she farm? Does Begonia farm? How can it be? Therefore, whether it is cultivating land or growing vegetables, it is just another palace scheming.
Yu Wan knew a little more about this Concubine Xu Xian: "After that, will she be favored?" ”
Qin Ye smiled self-deprecatingly: "Where is there any glory and favor?" also fell out of favor, but won the situation in the end. ”
The emperor handed over the power of the six palaces to Concubine Xu Xian, not because he doted on her and wanted to love her fiercely in bed, but in the eyes of the emperor, she was the most suitable woman to lead the harem.
With such a woman with means, it seems that today's summons is not a coincidence in any way.
……
Today, in addition to Yu Wan, there are two cooks from the Drunken Immortal Residence, all of whom were brought by Qin Ye from Jiangzuo, who are in their early thirties and have a steady attitude.
Qin Ye was extremely confident in bringing the two of them.
Yu Wan said secretly, this trip, is there really anything to cook?
The carriage arrived at the palace, where the eunuchs were waiting early.
"Gonggong Wu, I've kept you waiting!" Qin Ye greeted with a smile.
It seems that this is the palace man who tasted the dishes in the drunken immortal residence, Yu Wan glanced at him without a trace, he was a few years younger than Uncle Wan, he looked handsome, looking at his kind eyebrows, but his eyes inadvertently flashed a sharp edge.
Being able to work under Concubine Xu Xian is not an idle person.
"Are these chefs of the Drunken Immortal Residence?" Gonggong Wu looked at Yu Wan and the three of them with a decent smile.
"It's a little girl, huh?" A tone of surprise.
Qin Ye smiled: "She is the second master of the Drunken Immortal Residence, don't look at it as a little girl, she may have done it!" Miss Yu, this is Gonggong Wu that I mentioned to you. ”
Yu Wan stepped forward and greeted Gonggong Wu.
Gonggong Wu just glanced at her with a faint smile, did not show an extra look, and then said to Qin Ye: "Come with me to see Niangniang first." ”
can actually meet the imperial concubine, Qin Ye is excited!
I thought that if I entered the palace to cook, I would be led directly to the kitchen......
The group followed Gonggong Wu to Xianfu Palace.
Xianfu Palace is very large, after a few doors, a few turns to arrive at the side hall of Concubine Xian.
Gonggong Wu stopped outside the hall and said respectfully: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the people from the Drunken Immortal Residence are here. ”
"Xuan."
It is a soothing but solemn voice.
Gonggong Wu led Yu Wan and his party into the side hall.
On the main seat directly above the side hall, Yu Wan saw the rumored Concubine Xu Xian.
She is wearing a purple palace dress, wearing an eight-tailed phoenix hairpin, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, delicate face, slender hands, well-proportioned bones, sitting on the palace, with an indescribable powerful aura.
is worthy of being a woman who has dominated the harem for 20 years, and this aura alone is not something that ordinary noblewomen can have.
"Kowtow to the mother and say goodbye." Wu Gonggong reminded.
Qin Ye lifted his clothes and knelt down: "Qin Zuo knocked to see the virtuous concubine Niangniang, the mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”
Yu Wan and the two cooks were behind Qin Ye, and they also bowed in turn.
The three of them were quite stable and did not embarrass Qin Ye.
"And a girl's house?" Concubine Xu Xian's tone seemed to be a little surprised, "Raise your head and let the palace take a look." ”
Yu Wan slowly raised her head.
Since she nominally entered the palace as a cook, Yu Wan did dress like a cook, a plain white tunic skirt, an apricot-colored cotton spring dress, no powder, and the green silk only wore a single bun.
To say that her facial features are more delicate than Yu Wan's, there are too many, but she is the first one to look so comfortable.
The temperament is also tranquil, just looking at her like this, a restless heart seems to be able to slowly calm down.
The years are quiet.
Concubine Xu Xian's mind flashed this sentence for no reason.
"Mother." The lady in charge whispered to her.
Qin Ye didn't dare to look around, but he also felt that Concubine Xu Xian had been watching the second master for too long.
Concubine Xu Xian picked up the hot tea handed by the lady in charge and took a sip gently: "I fell in love with this girl, let her stay and talk to the palace, you go and prepare dinner." ”
Qin Ye frowned strangely, didn't he name and eat the stinky tofu she made? What does it mean to leave a narrative? Later, they don't make enough flavor, who is the bad pool?
Qin Yue always felt that there was something he had overlooked, but without waiting to figure it out, he asked Duke Wu to lead him to the small kitchen of Xianfu Palace.
Concubine Xu Xian didn't ask Yu Wan to get up.
Yu Wan knelt on the cold floor for half an hour.
The spies outside the hall secretly felt that something was wrong, and turned around to report to Yan Huaijing, but the black-clothed people under Concubine Xu Xian were blocked......
Kitchenette.
Qin Ye put the jar with sour bamboo shoots on the stove, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Oops! I remember! The second prince once saved Miss Yu! ”
It was the time of the kitchen god, Yu Wan was framed by her peers and put in the ice cellar, it was the second prince who rescued Yu Wan upstairs, and the second prince hid Yu Wan's identity in order to protect Yu Wan's name, but others didn't know, didn't he and the Yu family know either?
At that time, it was not that they did not suspect it, but after the second prince did not follow up, they gradually regarded this incident as a good deed of the second prince.
But what if...... Isn't it just an act of kindness?
Could Concubine Xu Xian also misunderstand something, so she summoned Yu Wan?
Qin Ye couldn't wait to stab himself to death: "I'...... How could I have forgotten such an important one! I'm a pig's brain! I'm ...... I let the lard blind me! ”
Qin Ye dropped the jar and walked out, and as soon as one foot crossed the threshold, Gonggong Wu walked over with a smile: "Boss Qin, where are you going?" Is the mother's meal ready? ”
Qin Ye smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that some ingredients fell on the carriage, so I'll go get them." ”
Gonggong Wu smiled: "We are a palace here, what ingredients are missing?" It's really not, the miscellaneous family will go and get it for you. ”
Qin Ye's heart sank, and the news couldn't be delivered......
The Second Prince's Mansion.
Yan Huaijing finished reading the file at hand and the information sent by the spy from Gongcheng, and was about to enter the palace to greet Concubine Xu Xian, but as soon as he left the house, he saw a little eunuch waiting respectfully at the door.
This is the palace man under Concubine Xu Xian.
"What's the matter with waiting here for loneliness?" Yan Huaijing frowned and asked.
The little eunuch said: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Second Highness to ask for peace to the mother?" ”
Yan Huaijing responded lightly.
The little eunuch said: "Niangniang said, Your Highness doesn't have to go to greet her before considering which girl to marry." ”
Yan Huaijing frowned: "Did the mother really say that?" ”
The little eunuch bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Highness, if you have already made up your mind, the little one will take you to ask for peace to the mother." ”
Yan Huaijing clenched his fists: "No need, you go and tell your mother, I'll ...... another day." I'll visit him another day. ”
The little eunuch owed: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”
……
In the Xianfu Palace, Yu Wan had been kneeling on the cold and hard floor for half an hour, her knees were swollen, and there was a tingling pain in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, her back was still straight, and her figure was cold and stubborn.
Concubine Xu Xian peeled the orange without being salty, and when she peeled it to the ninth, she finally spoke casually: "Do you know why this palace makes you kneel here?" ”
Acting tactfully, that is for people who need to be tactful, such as Yan Ruyu, then it can't be too polite, but a little village girl, Concubine Xu Xian really didn't pay attention to it.
"It's because of His Royal Highness." Yu Wan's expression was very calm.
Concubine Xu Xian smiled faintly: "You are smart, it seems that you admit that you have seduced the emperor of this palace." ”
Yu Wan said without humility or arrogance: "I said that I didn't seduce, will Niangniang believe it?" ”
Concubine Xu Xian looked at her condescendingly: "A woman like you, I have seen a lot in this palace, I look clean and clean on my mouth, but there is more bad water in my stomach than anyone else, My Royal Highness is in the royal family, and I have never been in contact with you women in the market, and I am inevitably blinded by the freshness of the moment." ”
Yu Wan said slowly: "The flow of the market? With all due respect, my background seems to be a little higher than you. ”
Shinong industry and commerce, the Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and the farmers were just poor, but when it came to their background, they were ranked in front of the merchants.
"You're so daring!" Concubine Xu Xian hates others to talk about her background, no matter how beautiful the Xu family is now, it can't change the fact that they used to be merchants, those people flatter the Xu family on the surface, but secretly they don't know what to laugh at.
Queen Ma has long fallen out of favor, she is only one step away from ascending to the back seat, and this step is her origin!
Concubine Xu Xian put down the half-peeled orange and looked coldly at Yu Wan, who was kneeling on the ground, as if she didn't know the slightest fear: "Even the princess doesn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of this palace, this palace is tired of seeing you!" Do you rely on the son of this palace to love you, and this palace will not dare to do anything to you? ”
Yu Wan shook her head: "I never thought like this, everything is Niangniang's own speculation." ”
Concubine Xu Xian smiled coldly: "The speculation of this palace? Okay, wow, then you should tell this palace, who borrowed your guts? So you don't take Hongu seriously? ”
Yu Wan said calmly: "If you want to add to the crime, why bother? I'm lying respectfully at my mother's feet today, won't I be angry with me? ”
Concubine Xu Xian sneered: "Anger? You mean, you didn't do anything wrong at all, it was all this palace who wronged you? ”
Yu Wan raised her eyes and met Concubine Xu Xian's gaze: "I don't know what happened to me and His Second Highness, where did Niangniang hear about it, and how much did I hear it, even if it was an interrogation of a suspect, there was no reason to cover his coffin as soon as I came, Niangniang didn't ask me about my words, so she blindly thought that I seduced the second prince, with all due respect, I was indeed wronged." ”
Concubine Xu Xian said word by word: "Clever tongue is like a spring!" ”
"Mother." The lady in charge shook her head at Concubine Xu Xian.
Concubine Xu Xian said in a low voice: "This palace knows it. ”
The lady in charge is hinting that Concubine Xu Xian should not really kill Yu Wan, after all, Yu Wan is the woman that the second prince has a crush on, killing her is small, and the mother and son are big, to settle her, there are more ways!
Concubine Xu Xian can sit in her current position, how can she really be breathless? It's just to scare and scare Yu Wan, but since this trick doesn't work, just change it.
Concubine Xu Xian's anger dissipated, and the corners of her lips slowly hooked: "This palace heard about your father's case. ”
Yu Wan's eyes moved slightly.
Concubine Xu Xian took in her look, smiled mockingly, and said: "It doesn't matter who robs whom's military merits, it matters who Your Majesty wants to protect, do you think the crime will be set at that time, will your father still have a way to live?" ”
"Why does Niang Niang think that the person Your Majesty wants to protect will not be my father?" Yu Wan asked rhetorically.
The lady in charge shook her head, this girl is too bold, who is being questioned?
Concubine Xu Xian sneered: "Don't tell me, you still don't know what the relationship between the Yan family and the Young Master's Mansion is, right?" ”
Yu Wan looked at her for a moment: "What does Niangniang mean is that Your Majesty protects the Yan family, just for the sake of the face of the Young Lord's Mansion?" ”
"Is it still for your sake?" Concubine Xu Xian sneered.
Yu Wan lowered her eyes and said in a whisper: "Young Master Yan is in His Majesty's mind...... Is it so important? ”
Concubine Xu Xian raised her eyebrows and said: "It is as heavy as Mount Tai, better than a parent." ”
The corners of Yu Wan's lips hooked: "That being the case, I advise Niangniang, don't make mistakes again and again." ”
The preface and the words did not match the afterword, Concubine Xu Xian couldn't understand what Yu Wan was talking about, Concubine Xu Xian looked at Yu Wan strangely: "When you leave the palace, the palace will promise you that no matter how angry Your Majesty is at that time, this palace will save your father's life for you." ”
Yu Wan smiled faintly: "Niangniang doesn't need to threaten me, I didn't plan to marry into the prince's mansion, didn't His Royal Highness tell Niangniang?" He asked to marry me as a side concubine, but I refused. ”
"You!" Concubine Xu Xian stood up angrily!
Yu Wan said calmly: "Isn't this the result that Niangniang wants?" What are you angry about? Could it be that I am only forced to leave your son in a heartbroken state, and that I am not allowed to look down on your son? Maybe in your eyes, your son is a sweetheart, but in my eyes, he is nothing. ”
"Slut!" Concubine Xu Xian rushed down the steps, raised her hand in anger, and slapped it down!
